Quartz Jasper?
* I really Pulled out all the Stops w/ this chapter so it's extra-long. Hope you all enjoy it and the Bonus Corner which has returned at the bottom. Comment after you're done reading and hope to see you next chapter.
Beach City. A small beach town that was calm and peaceful. Steven's hometown and living among the small number of human families was many Gems who following the gem war and beginning of Era 3, decided to settle on earth not to far from town. Little Home-world was a passion project of Steven and the Crystal Gems in the two years since the diamond authority finally abolished their rule.
The Crystal Gems, the most prominent members who lived on Earth and held the closest bonds with Steven were busy teaching special classes to the many gems who now lived or were traveling to earth to learn a better way to live they way they wanted to live. Some of the townsfolk were even taking their own classes to get to know gem culture themselves.
Garnet, the former leader of the Crystal gems was in the middle of her meditation class. As she was taking a breath, she the appeared as if she was in a daze.
"I'm Sorry." Garnet apologized as she began to stand up, "Something important has come up. Class is dismissed." With that, the fusion gem darted of as she begun to call someone.
In a part of Little Home-world where some picnic tables were set up Amethyst was teaching some gems about having Fun on earth.
"Alright! So as first years to Little Home-world the first and obvious thin your gonnna wanna learn here is how to enjoy life. Eating tons of food, playing video games, taking long naps." Replied the short Purple Quartz happily to the small class of gems she was teaching. Just then, Amethyst's own cell phone began to ring.
"Uh.. Take five guys I gotta take this." Amethyst said to her class as she walked off to answer the call.
"Yo. What's up Garnet?" Amethyst asked as she answered her phone Amethyst listened to what Garnet had to say then became shocked. "Huh?! You serious? He's REALLY coming here?" inquired the long haired gem with increasing excitement.
"Yes He, Connie and Lion should be warping here in about 5 minutes, although as for the reason why, not really sure about that." Garnet said over the phone as Amethyst had accidentally pressed speaker on her cell.
"Hey If Steven's really coming back to visit them I'm TOTALLY game!" Amethyst said excitedly. She then turned to her class. "Sorry bros, but im gonna have to dismiss y'all early I gots some stuff to do; Laters!"
Amethyst then just like Garnet darted off from her class as she continued to talk Garnet as she began heading toward the Galaxy warp that was in the middle of Little Home-world.
"I'm heading to the house to let Greg know, he's definitely gonna flip out with excitement about this" Amethyst said with glee.
"I saw that Peridot and Bismuth were in town as well. While you're telling them, I'll Let Pearl and Lapis know of the news." Garnet replied. Both gems hung up the call and began to continue finding their friends and family.
At the Universe Beach house, Amethyst had gathered Greg, Peridot and Bismuth and immediately relayed them the news Garnet had told her.
"What! Steven's coming back to visit?" exclaimed Greg with a similar shock and excitement Amethyst had earlier
Peridot who had been wearing the salmon pink star shirt Steven had gifted her sometime before he left, was also excited but had a bit of doubt. "You're certain that Steven is returning Amethyst?!" the small green gem began to question. "It's only been 93 Earth rotations since his departure from this human settlement and The last few times he and I video chat he'd say he'd 'visit soon' and I ended up scoping the road into town for an entire week and he didn't show." Peridot finished with a typical looking anime teary eyed look.
"Yea Peridot, Garnet said she saw them coming in with her future vision. Amethyst responded with a smug grin.
Bismuth then placed an arm on Amethyst right shoulder turning to her two friends "Come on Green bean, speaking from experience, I trust in Garnet's future vision. And I believe in the fact Steven is taking time his travels to come and visit us. what's wrong with that? Asked the rainbow haired gem to her companion.
"Yea I'm sure Steven still misses us as much as we miss him since he left. And it's only natural that he'd wanna still stop by from time to time." Said Greg to Peridot with a small smile on his face.
Peridot then nodded aggressively to her friends' sentiments.
Meanwhile with Garnet, the fusion had found and told Pearl and Lapis of her vision of Steven and their happiness was very clear. Moreso Pearl then Lapis…
"Oooh I can believe after three long months Steven's finally coming home!" Pearl Cried with tears of joy.
"Oh man, I gotta show Steven the portrait I'd say id make of him." Lapis said to herself out loud as she was frantic to have something ready to gift Steven.
"*Sniff* you think He'd like a song played on his ukulele he gave me?" Asked Pearl, tears still in her eyes.
"Gems listen." Garnet said wrapping her arms around Pearl and Lapis' own shoulders. "I know we've all missed Steven but everything has been good for us here and more importantly; Steven's life has been good as well. Once he gets here I know we'll much to catch up on, even if its been three months."
The two gems nodded gently with a small smile on their faces Pearl wiping away her tears.
Not to long after, Greg's Van pulled up and out pop said owner of the van from the driver door and Peridot, Bismuth and Amethyst from the back doors.
"Is he here?" Asked Mr. Universe with much anticipation for his son's arrival.
"In about one minuet yes." Garnet replied calmly.
"Oh MAN! I can't wait to catch up with my bud! Amethyst exclaimed. "Totally gonna hit up FunLand, Fish stew Pizza, and"
Before Amethyst could continue she was cut off from an all to familiar roaring piercing the air, and out of nowhere appeared Lion's portal and out Popped the Crystal Gem's guest of honor.
Lion leaped out from the portal and skidded about three or four feet from where the portal had opened. As the dust settled Steven and Connie peered over Lions mane, looking at most of Little Home-world, not realizing their welcoming party right behind them.
"Wow." Steven said in blissful awe. "It's really been a while since I've seen Little Home-world. I can't wait to hear from everyone.
"Yea I'm sure they're gonna get a kick out of seeing you after so long." Connie replied playfully elbowing Steven's arm.
Before any of Steven's friends or family could even say anything they suddenly saw a man they had never seen before with both Steven and Connie also sitting on top of Lion and wearing what they thought was a lonely blade costume.
Zoro had turned his head back to where the gems and Greg were standing. Everyone who had been filled with anticipation to reunite with Steven soon was flooded with bewilderment as not even Garnet had saw Zoro with her future vision. Zoro stared at the group for at least five seconds before turning back to the duo, pointing his thumb toward Greg and the gems.
"I take it, that's your welcoming committee you were talking about?" Asked Zoro to Steven and Connie.
Steven then quickly turned around with much surprise and saw his family and closest friends had been waiting for him right there.
"Dad! Guys!" Steven called with much happiness as he started to climb of Lion.
Hearing Steven's voice got everyone out of their stupor from Zoro and Greg, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl soon dashed toward Steven. The latter three reached Steven and the four Crystal gems embraced and accidentally dog piled on each other and began to laugh happily.
"Hey guys, long time no see!" Steven said happily as he and the other began to stand up. Greg then caught up to where the four of them were and then both he and Steven embraced and a father son hug happy to see each other.
"Glad you're doing Ok Schtu-ball" Greg said as soon he and Steven finished hugging.
"Thanks dad." Steven replied
"STEVEN!" called Peridot as she did as other had done and bolted to where Steven was, though Peridot actually leaped onto Steven to hug him, this almost caused Steven to fall over again since he was just standing still.
"Glad to see you're doing Ok Steven" Bismuth said walking up to Steven and slapping his back sportingly. Though not knowing her strength, Bismuth's slap almost topped Steven over again too.
"Glad you were able to stop by to see us after all this time." Lapis said placing a hand on her friend's shoulder.
Zoro who had taken a back seat to allow Steven and his family to enjoy their little reunion chuckled a bit. "Damn" he slight cracking a smile. "You told me you had a group a friends who'd help but I think I see a crew similar to mine."
Soon the attention was drawn back to the Straw hat's first mate again as much like when Steven & Connie when they first met Zoro everyone was very confused about WHO Zoro was and why he was with Steven and Connie.
"uhh… 'Sup dude?" asked Amethyst awkwardly.
The silence in the air was palpable as everyone stared at Zoro who didn't care much at all.
"Uh Steven, who's your new friend?" ask his father awkwardly.
"Oh right, my bad guys." said Steven said slapping the side of his head. He then pointed his arm over to Zoro.
"This is Ro-ro… umm. Roo Roo-Raah, No that's not Right." Steven said as he was embarrassingly mispronouncing Zoro's family name.
"My name is Roronoa Zoro" Zoro began correcting Steven to save him any more trouble. "your friends here found me after my own crew had been attacked by an enemy. While I did say I could handle this alone he said he'd help me find my missing crewmates." Zoro explained with a tone that was both serious and nonchalant somehow.
Despite the swordsman's explanation of the whole situation once again like Steven & Connie before them none of the Crystal Gems could totally wrap their minds around what Zoro had just said.
"Right." Connie began rubbing the back of her head with her hand with a nervous smile on her face. "It was hard to believe at first but Zoro's kinda being serious about it."
"Plus we kinda owe him, on the account of he did save out lives." Steven followed up.
Soon after explaining their encounter and the water tower incident with everyone Steven's family soon began to understand Zoro's predicament.
"I see." Said Garnet as she adjusted her star-shaped visor. "Though you must forgive us, as we've lived on this planet for thousands of years and I don't believe we've encountered anyone you've mention at all nor any of these strange places as well."
"Yeah." Lapis replied walking up to Zoro with a sour mood on her face and a lot of suspicion. "Who's to say you aren't just lying about all this? Steven's been through a lot and if you're gonna cause him trouble, I promise you'll regret that."
"You're welcome to try Blue Girl" Zoro said as he gripped his hand on one of his swords.
"H-hey Lapis, calm down." Steven said with a smile but had a worried tone in his voice. "I appreciate you all are still looking out for me but this is something I chose to do. And me and Connie saw his strength first hand too."
Suddenly at the same time Zoro's eye flashed red, and Garnet had small sparkle appear around her face. Both had sensed something with their Observation haki and future vision respectively.
"Wait. Luffy?" asked Zoro as he began looking toward the Galaxy warp. Garnet then began to peer toward the warp as well.
"Hold on. Why is SHE coming?" asked Garnet out loud.
"Garnet? What's wrong? Who's coming?" asked Pearl
And as if on que, the Galaxy warp lit up as a bright stream of light burst from the large gemstone sticking out of the ground.
As everyone stared at the flooding light two figures could be seen appearing on the warp. But obscured by the light.
Soon the lights died down and much to the surprise of both the long pirate and the Earth's defenders, standing before Zoro, Steven and the Crystal Gems was Spinel and Luffy, Zoro's captain.
"wha-Ho-ho!" Luffy Cheered excitedly "that was AWESOME! It was like I was flying around and Stuff!"
"Wait; Spinel? Why are You here?" Steven Blurted out
"Luffy!" Zoro called happily
Both rubber friends turned around to see the crowd of familiar faces. Both Luffy and Spinel then smiled happily at seeing their respective friends.
"Oh! Steven!" Spinel called happily
"Zoro!" Cried Luffy as the straw hatted Pirate leaped from the galaxy warp and then latched onto Zoro's face hugging him similar to how they reunited in Wano. "Ah ha ha ha! Man I was all set to start finding you guys and some guy named Steven but I already found you! Man that's the hard part out of the way!" Luffy laugh happily as Zoro soon fell backward to the ground, after which he then pushed Luffy of his head.
"Geez we get separated for a couple hours and you can't take getting lost seriously can you?" Zoro asked with a hint of relief and a mix of frustration at Luffy's latest stunt.
"Wait a second." Bismuth asked "now who's This string bean? And what was he doing on Home-world?"
Spinel ran up to where Steven was. While She wasn't really a threat to anyone anymore, apart from Luffy and Zoro a lot of the group did kinda feel awkward around her.
"Thank goodness we found you so fast." Spinel said happily. "Listen I really need your help."
"Wait hang on, Spinel it's… good to see you again but why did you come here and-" before Steven could continue he then noticed the Diamond's now shrunken gems in Spinel's arms. "Wait. Are those the Diamonds? What happened? Why are they Poofed? Why are their gems so small? WHO IS THIS GUY WITH YOU?" Steven asked with increasing confusion at the whole situation.
"Yo! I'm Monkey D. Luffy. I'm the man who's gonna be the king of the pirates." Luffy introduced himself to everyone. Though while that answered one question, others remained unanswered and the silence quickly took over again
"Oh nice to meet you." Connie Said breaking the silence again to keep thing rolling away from anything weird.
"heh you two are gonna freak but this was my captain I was talking about." Zoro said as he stood up and pointed towards Luffy.
"Wait seriously? We already found one of your crew?" Steven asked in disbelief. "Wait I thought YOU were the captain Zoro."
"Been awhile since people made that mistake." Zoro said shrugging it off.
"Oh boy, this day is going from amazing to really weird in a matter of seconds." Greg muttered to himself worryingly.
"By the way Luffy, who's the Pink kid next to you?" Zoro asked crossing his arms.
Luffy smiled again as he was happy to introduce Spinel.
"This is Spinel, She's our new crew member!" The captain replied with much joy in his voice.
"Hm in that case. Welcome aboard." Zoro said nonchalantly.
"EHHHH!?" cried the Crystal gems in shock.
"Wait Spinel are you serious?" Asked Steven. Spinel nodded softly while blushing a little.
"L-Luffy asked and I said yes. And he really, helped me out on Home-world." Spinel replied.
Luffy also nodded in agreement. "Yea, that weird Flying monkey and the giant green robot lady attacked Spinel." Luffy explained what happened the only way he could explain in his own way. "and then they like, became super bright like a light. And got super tough! Hell I had to use 5th Gear on that burly gem person."
"Hm. They pushed you to you're new level huh?" Zoro said scratching his chin. "Aside from that Warp bastard seems we got even more enemies to deal with now."
"Oh must you two gentlemen partake in using such vulgar language?" Pearl asked "The last thing anyone wants is to hear Steven use that salty language."
"Hang on a second Pearl." Connie said after hearing what Luffy said. "5th Gear? And you fought a fusion and Won?"
"It's an impressive feat to fight and beat a fusion gem." Garnet added in, in her usual calm tone.
"doesn't really explain the 'Flying monkey' or 'green robot' lady part though, who are they are." Amethyst said with a doubtful tone.
"It was that Bluebird gem, and Demantoid." Spinel said as she clutched the diamonds gems close to her chest. "with all the rule you made for era 3, some of the zircons who've been running for elections decided to try and make some laws and stuff modeled after you rules. And ever since the times you had ta' fight them a lot of people were treatin' them as criminals cuz they were still plottin' and scheming to get revenge on ya and rule the empire their way."
Lapis then scoffed at the fact that some of their old enemies were still causing trouble for everyone in era 3 "Tch! Seriously, Demantoid again? Next thing you know that pompous Pyrope will make an appearance too."
Spinel then continued to tell what happened from Bluebird and Demantoid fusing, to them shooting the diamonds with her energy cannon and causing them to poof.
"It be one thing to poof, but they were covered in this green energy stuff then their gems just shrank down. That's not supposed ta' happen!" Spinel sobbed a little.
Peridot then walked over to Spinel and inspected the diamonds' gems with her tablet. "Well there is a kind of residual trace within their gems. I can inspect this further with some tech and my robonoids. Hopefully we can-" Suddenly a separate reading popped up on Peridot's tablet.
"Hm? What is this?" Peridot expanded the second reading to get more details. "Spinel; did you get hit with Bloodstone's strange device? I'm getting an entirely different reading from your gem."
Spinel thought for a moment. And then remembered.
"Well, Bloodstone did, try to hit me but Luffy saved me before I got zapped. But after he grabbed me, I did feel a little… different."
As everyone was still pondering about everything that had happened and the current situation, no to far from where the group. A large bulky looking man was spying on the group behind a building man feet away.
The Man had very normal proportional body, wore a dark colored vest, long dark pants, and white pirate boots. He was totally bald, had a large bulbous nose and seemed to have a round dark colored eyes with white pupils.
"Heh-heh-heh." Laughed the man quietly. "That rubber bastard Straw Hat. And the Pirate Hunter Zoro too, this'll be pretty damn good. I Kill those two and we'll be able to get this emperor of our back." The strange man then turned around still hiding in the shadows, but was peering at many of the Little Home-world citizens. His eyes then then came across a certain Bulky orange gem quickly trudging towards Steven and the others. And began to smile wickedly.
"I have no idea whys up with all these Ladies and the gems stones on their bodies but the least I can do is thank Straw hat personally for bringing us to a world where I can easily kill him."
Suddenly the man began to sink into the ground.
"It IS true!" bellowed a voice that made everyone turn their heads to see who was screaming their head off.
"Oh no. It's her." Steven said with a sweatdrop.
The gem in question was Jasper. The so-called Ultimate Quartz who had been quite the issue for Steven and the other in the past and after their last fight Jasper had sworn loyalty to Steven much to his chagrin, especially when this happened Steven hadn't been feeling to well mentally at that time.
"Who the heck is that?" Asked Luffy with mild interest
"Dunno." Replied Zoro casually. "But she does seem strong."
Jasper soon arrived to the group stopping a foot in front of
Steven and knelt before him.
"My Diamond. It is an honor to see you've returned to me again" Jasper said, full of pride and loyalty.
"H-Heeey Jasper." Said Steven not really wanting Jasper to treat him like this. "It's been a while. Glad you're… Ok?"
"I've been eagerly awaiting the day you'd return. And many of these puny gems began to say you were returning." Jasper said with much delight.
"Hey Star-shirt guy, who's this Idiot?" asked Luffy with out any sort of filter to what he was saying. But obviously apart from Zoro, everyone was shocked at what Luffy said, and Jasper quickly turned her now lifted head to Luffy and now had her typical angry expression on her face.
"Hmph! Who are you Runt?" asked Jasper with a growl
"Uh guy." Said Amethyst "Jasper isn't the sort of person you wanna insult. Even if she does deserve it."
Jasper who's history with Amethyst was… a bit intense, stood up and leaned over Amethyst, menacingly.
"You want some too you dumb runt? If I recall you couldn't beat me unless you were a fusion!" Jasper Barked
"She's using the same excuse when she fought me." Steven thought.
"Oy Stoneface!" Said Luffy with his typical smile on his face and began to crack his knuckles. "If you wanna fight why not try me!"
Zoro then walked up beside Luffy. "Hey hang on Luffy, don't be an ass and hog all the fun, If anyone's gonna fight tall, orange, and surly it should be me."
"What?! No way, she isn't even using swords. I can totally fight Horn head here." Luffy argued.
"Yea? Well apart from that bastard Warp's cronies, I haven't gotten a good fight at all!" Zoro retorted back to his captain.
Jasper now had her attention on the two pirates who were now arguing about who'd fight her. And this was the first time since Amethyst where she'd encountered someone who wanted fight her.
"Ugh! Both of you puny humans are starting to get on my nerves! If you're just gonna stand there, then neither of you are worth my time!" Jasper spat at the two. Unfortunately, Jasper had put her foot in her mouth by antagonizing both Luffy and Zoro. The two stopped arguing and turned back to Jasper both sporting an angered expression that seemed to match Jasper.
"HUH?!" Said both Captain and First mate. Both Luffy & Zoro's anger really hit different and Jasper actually flinched for a second. Though Jasper quickly stood her ground and regain her intimidating stature.
Steven then got in between the 3-person standoff.
"Whoa-whoa-whoa! Guys lets calm down. We don't need to fight with each other." Steven said doing his best to deescalate the situation. "Look Zoro, and Mr. Luffy right? Im glad you guys found each other and we head the story, so we're glad to help you find your Other Friends."
For whatever reason Spinel sneezed after Steven finished
"And Jasper, please I don't want to fight you or have you fight any of my friends and family." Steven finished. "I'm sure we can all get along and get through this peacefully."
"Heh-Heh-Heh-Heh. You'd like to think that be possible wouldn't you curly?" replied a voice that no one could see where it was coming from.
Hearing how sinister the voice sounded, everyone began to frantically around but couldn't see any a gem or person within their eye-sight. But the voice sounded like they were very close by.
Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Steven then summoned their respective weapons to prepare for combat.
"So much for not fighting anyone right now." Steven said as hie brows furrowed.
"This isn't good. I can't seem to sense this mystery person, whats more this Zoro and Luffy are the same, my future vision isn't working on them" thought Garnet as she turned her head to the left and right. "Reveal Yourself!" called the fusion demanding their unknown attacker would show themselves.
Soon Luffy and Zoro's observation haki finally kicked in, and as their eyes flashed red quickly, they knew where to look.
"He's over there!" Zoro yelled as he drew two of his swords out of their scabbards.
Just as everyone saw where Zoro was looking toward there rising out of the ground was the same bald man. Sporting a sinister grin on his face. Luffy and Zoro immediately recognized the man once he fully appeared.
"Hey! I remember you! You're one of that Wacky-guy's crewmates!" Luffy said with an angry look on his face.
"Looking to get some revenge pal?" asked Zoro as he began to remove the top part of his long coat so his torso wasn't covered. "Im glad we get to deal with one of you fools again."
"My name is Onyx, I'm one of the Four commanders of the Warp Pirates." Said the large man. "Straw Hat Luffy, and you too Pirate Hunter, I've also got a score to settle with the two of ya's."
"This guy just came out of the ground like he was a gem. But the way he did it, theres no hole, no injector, this guy is definetly not a gem but what is he?" Bismuth asked as she shape-shifted her hands into two large hammers.
"Gems be on your guard." Garnet ordered "While this man might not be a gem, he most definitely feels dangerous!"
"Grrr! Don't tell me what to do you shameless display!" Jasper growled as she charged to Onyx and proceeded to throw a devastatingly strong punch to his left side.
Onyx just stood still as Jasper got closer and closer, until her punch connected and the sheer force somehow caused large amounts of dust to appear blinding everyone. But Onyx still stand was pushed backward from the cloud, leaving a small trail of dirt from his feet as he withstood the force to not fall on his back.
"Cough-Cough! Where'd all this dust come from?" Greg asked as he tried to not breath in all the gritty air. Soon the dust began to clear and everyone Looked to see what happened to Onyx. And to everyone's shock, Onyx's entire left arm and a bit of his left chest area had been broken clean off his body.
The sight of what Jasper had done had clearly gotten to everyone as they began to scream in terror at seeing a human's arm having been completely ripped off from a punch.
"J-Jasper!" Steven Yelled still in shock and began to get very heated at the strong Quartz. "What the heck have you done?!"
"Oh my gosh, an injury like that he's gonna Die!" exclaimed Greg as his face turned pale at the sight.
However, Luffy and Zoro weren't freaking out. If anything; they knew what Onyx was doing. What everyone around them even failed to see, despite Jasper's attack taking his arm, Onyx spilt no blood at all. And where his arm was, his body seemed to have cracks on it, as if he was never flesh and blood to begin with. Jasper then smiled as she began to laugh at what she believed was Onyx being weak. Onyx then grabbed his shoulder with his right hand and looked as if he was in severe pain.
"you….you think this is funny?" Onyx asked as Jasper kept cackling. "YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY?!"
"IT'S NOT AS FUNNY…. As your face." Onyx then said as he began to talk as if he was never in pain at all.
Jasper then stopped laughing and the other Crystal gems, their eyes still gawked at their new foe then witness something they never saw before. Onyx's arm began to sprout a light grey pillar of rock that began to take the shape of his missing arm. The more the stone piled on it began to smooth out and re-color to match Onyx's flesh. Soon Onyx's arm had returned as if Jasper had never attacked him at all. As Jasper, steven, Connie and everyone from beach city and Home-world stood in shock at the fact Onyx had regrown his arm on his own.
"Forgive the theatrics." Onyx apologized in a smug tone as he twirled his arm in a circular motion to stretch it out a bit. But You land lubbers don't have Devil fruits where me and those two punks come from and I just couldn't resist. Been a good while since I scared some poor saps with that trick, Ha-Ha-Ha!"
"Figures. Just like that Sapphire chick this moron's got Devil Fruit Powers." Zoro Said as he began to take a stance.
Luffy then took on his 2nd Gear stance but didn't activate said gear just yet. "Yea 'cept for the whole popping up from the ground thing I don't think he's like 'Mingo's Squeaky guy from Dressrosa." Luffy replied as his voice sounded serious.
"Hah! Of course My powers are different that that stupid high-pitched gladiator's. I ate the Logia type Golem-Golem Fruit, My body's the very element of mother earth!" Onyx laughed as he raised his hands, upward as if to summon something. Then several columns burst from the ground where everyone was standing, Many of the Crystal Gems leaped into the air to dodge the attack, Steven quickly summoned his bubble around him, Connie and his dad as they were as quick to dodge the columns as Luffy or the others.
"He can control the earth below our feet, and he's made of earth himself?" Connie asked as Steven was able to lower his bubble shield the second they landed safely on the ground.
"everyone stay back!" Zoro ordered. "Me and Luffy will take care of this guy. Logia type power users can't be harmed normally. None of your attack will hurt him."
With that Luffy and Zoro dashed toward Onyx in an attempt to take him down but Onyx began to wave his hands all over. Making stone pillars, pop up nearly everywhere the two Straw hats were. Worse still was despite using his advanced observation haki Luffy wasn't able to get and decent hits on Onyx. With him focusing on dodging the pillars Luffy couldn't stretch out his arms or legs at all.
"Damn it! This rocky bastard's cheating, I can't stretch out to get a damn hit on him at all!" Luffy complained as he leaped onto a nearby building to avoid any more spiked pillars.
Garnet, Amethyst and Bismuth decided to ignore Zoro's orders and began their own attack on Onyx themselves. Garnet bashed through as many Pillars that had already popped up and did her best to dodge new ones with her future vision. Bismuth did the same though tried to be extra careful to anticipate and new pillars as she lacked any precognition. Amethyst utilized her whip to swing in the air to avoid being on the ground in general,
out of all the attacking members she was the most successful to get close to Onyx.
"Eat this you dumb stone jerk!" Amethyst shouted as she let go of her whip and began to spin dash toward Onyx like a comet. Onyx soon saw Amethyst blazing toward him and then made his hands more stone like as he was able to catch the small Quartz in her ball form.
"Nice try peewee but I ain't letting anyone get this close a second time!" Onyx said as he then tossed Amethyst toward Greg's van. Held captive by the force of Onyx throwing her Amethyst couldn't help but slam into Greg's van leaving a circle shaped dent on the side. Amethyst uncurled from ball from and lay on the ground in a painful daze.
"Amethyst!" Steven called in panic.
"My Van!" Greg shrieked in horror.
"T-This guy is a Monster!" Peridot called cowering behind Lion. "How are we supposed to fight a guy who's made of the stuff he's throwing at us?" Lapis called from the air as she tried to also get close but no matter what anyone tried no one could get close to Onyx.
Both Jasper and Luffy each got very upset at Onyx. Though their reasons vastly different they both charged into the fray again form their own side of the battle field. Jasper summoned her old crash helmet and began to ram into everything and anything standing between her and Onyx. Meanwhile, Luffy now activated 2nd Gear and then coated his right arm in armament haki turning it black and shiny looking, his coated arm began to ignite with flames as he flew toward Onyx with incredible speed.
"NOW GUM GUM…. RED HAWK!"
As Luffy launched his attack that paid homage to his late brother Ace Jasper finally was able to reach Onyx herself.
"You're mine you arrogant freak!" Jasper roared as both her helmet and Luffy fiery coated fist collided with Onyx who was indeed caught off guard by the twos accidental tandem attack.
KA-KA-BOOM!
A fiery explosion filled the air of the battlefield, by now many gems and humans in Little Home-world began fleeing the settlement to the evacuation center. As smoke filled the air, large rocks fell down from the explosion crashing everywhere, some were even on fire from Luffy's Red Hawk. A lot of the surrounding buildings were smashed, on fire or both.
Steven and the others looked devastated at all the destruction one man had caused to everything the built up in the span of two years.
Luffy landed near Zoro, dropping out of 2nd gear as Jasper in a bit of a daze, pushed through the smoke and found herself with Luffy and Zoro again. "Teh! Stay out of my way fool! This thing is mine and mine alone to shatter!" Jasper demanded
"Oh Shut up Stone-face!" Luffy yelled back having gotten annoyed with Jasper's acting all high and mighty. If Rocky wasn't casuing trouble for Spinel and her Family Steven then I'd be totally kicking your annoying ass right now!"
"that makes two of us" Replied Zoro as he took the moment to quickly tie his bandana around his head again and placed his 3rd sword in his mouth.
Spinel who was able to keep a safe distance from the battle watched in awe of Luffy and Zoro's combat abilities. While she had Seen Luffy go all out before she was now amazed at Zoro's skills.
"Come on Luffy." Spinel whispered to herself "Beat that dumb jerk"
Suddenly, out of the smoke A giant version of Garnet's Gauntlet came barreling out of the smoke toward Luffy with no time at all, Luffy couldn't dodge and he ended up taking the full brunt of the attack as he then flew several feet away crashing into one of the burning buildings.
"LUFFY!" Called Zoro as he saw his captain get deck by a giant hand.
"Wait that was Garnet's gauntlet!" Pearl Cried in horror. "Why would she attack us?"
Then Garnet's arm punched away some rubble that had been covering her a few feet away from where Steven and the others were. While a bit scrapped up it was clear Garnet wasn't Luffy's Attacker.
"That wasn't me." Garnet said as she now pretty angry at onyx for somehow stealing her weapons.
Onyx walked out of the smoke now a little beaten up, and still possessing his own gauntlet but shrank it down back to normal size before he transformed it back to his own hand.
"You gems sure are something" Onyx chuckled as he gripped and ungripped his hand a few times.
"What the? Hey how'd you do that?" Steven asked as he pulled his classic shield up incase Onyx chose to attack him.
Zoro then narrowed his one eye. "Not good this guy must've awakened his Devil Fruit powers for real." The green-haired swordsman theorized.
"Indeed, I have! Unlike Lady Sapphire, I be one of the few crew made who HAS awoken their devil fruit!"
"This isn't good." Zoro though as he began to coat his swords with armament haki. "I don't think we've faced an awaken Logia type before." Onyx then began to smile wickedly
"You know aside from killing you two, I wanted to thank you and Straw Hat personally for bringing us to this world!" boomed Onyx. Zoro and the other were soon confused as to why Onyx their attack was grateful to Luffy & Zoro.
"Can't say I know much about other Logia's awakening but with mine, I can not just control me elemental powers but the thing I can control and of course my elemental form change too!" Onyx sneered as he then made his entire body take on its earth base form. But unlike before, its was clear Onyx was changing again.
"What does he mean his control and form change" Asked Bismuth as she had ran over to Amethyst to help her up
"A Garnet. An Amethyst. A Pearl. A Bismuth. A Lapis Lazuli. A Peridot. A Spinel. And A Jasper." Onyx said as he lifted his head as he continued to change. "I don't give a damn about any of your fundamentals, but those Rocks on yer body are quite ripe for the takin' for the Warp Pirates."
Soon Connie figured out what Onyx was doing. "Everyone! You gotta get away from Onyx!" Connie Called. All the gems in the area looked to Connie in confusion.
"TOO LATE LASSIE!" Onyx boomed as in brilliant flash of light Onyx's stone body changed to a sleek orange color. Onyx then leaped toward Jasper as fast as he could catching the Quartz Solider off guard. Onyx grabbed Jasper's face with his hand and he began to smile like a psychopath.
"heh-heh! I can change my elemental form to any type of stone in the world I want, and as long as theres any real versions of a specific gem near by, I can meld and into it and control it like the normal earth!" Onyx Laughed. Just then Jasper's Gemstone nose began to glow and Onyx started to get sucked into it as if Jasper was storing him in her gem but the look in her eyes showed it all. This was not of her volition Onyx very being began to shrink into Jasper's gem little by little until after another bright flash Onyx was gone. Jasper stood still and quiet, slouching over as if she fell unconscious standing up. Everything was eerily quiet as everyone stared at Jasper.
Luffy who was recoiling from the punch began to stir he had seen everything that just happened but he couldn't get out as he was stuck under the rubble of the building he crashed into.
"W-what did that rocky jerk do?" asked Luffy as he struggled to get out of the rubble.
"gasp! Luffy!" Spinel called as she began to run towards Luffy. Hoping to help him out of his bind. Once she got to Luffy Spinel quickly bubbled the Diamonds' gems and placed it a few feet away from the building so as not got get damaged from anything
While Spinel was to helping Luffy, Steven, Zoro and some of the other Crystal Gems slowly crept towards Jasper's statue like body, Keeping their distance. Suddenly one of Jasper's fingers began to twitch, then her entire body began to shake violently but Jasper didn't utter a single peep. Everyone braced themselves for whatever was happening, as Jasper seemed to take on a transformation of her own.
Her outfit changed into a single Piece black suit with a similar V-neck to her original outfit, her one broken horn regrew and that and the unbroken one grew longer, changing to the two toned teal green color to black with fiery-red tips, the Bulk of her arms grew two times their original size and her height also doubled, as she was now roughly around Opal's height. Jasper's long mane of hair seemed to take on a Spikier appearance and her body's build took on a more masculine appearance to Onyx's finally small stones chunks of varying sized began to fly from the ground to the bottom of Jasper's jaw making a sort of underbite appearance, and her eyes changed to become black with white pupils just like Onyx.
"GRAH-HA-HA! I KNEW THIS WOULD WORK!" boomed the transformed Jasper, but it wasn't Jasper's voice that came out of the behemoth's mouth. "I GOT SO MUCH POWER NOW! AND I GOT MY HAIR BACK! SHAVING ME HEAD WAS COOL AT FIRST BUT IT SUCKED I HAVE TO WAIT SO LONG TO GET TO GROW BACK, BONUS!"
Steven had never seen anything like this. He had seen Jasper Corrupt before his eyes but this was entirely different from even corruption. The Human-gem hybrid had no idea what he was looking at but there was no doubt he was frozen with fear.
"What the hell did that maniac do?!" shouted Zoro who was equally stunned at what he had witnessed. "I though you said you were a Logia, not a damn Zoan you Behemoth!"
"DON'T GET COCKY RORONA!" boomed the behemoth as it crashed their fist into the ground. Luckily Zoro dodged in time but the ground around everyone shook fiercely. "BUT I DO LIKE THE NEW NAME! ONYX IS NO MORE; NOW I'M BEHEMOTH, THE KING OF ALL GEMS!" he laughed as he began to stomp around as if he were a giant beast.
"Don't get smashed-Don't get smashed-Don't get smashed!" Amethyst cried in a panic as she tried to stay cool but was doing everything she could to stay alive.
Connie, Greg and Lion had been able to get any leftover civilians to safety and was able to take Greg's van a little way out of Little Home-world. The three watched as the rampaging Behemoth continued to steam roll their friends.
"We gotta do something to help them" Connie said with frustration. "Im gonna take Lion back to my house and grab my sword and then may the two of us can." Before she could even mount on Lion, Greg stopped her placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Hang on Connie, I can't let you do that." Greg said.
"What? Why not?" Connie demanded.
"Just look at this guy!" Greg said motioning both his arms toward the chaos. "This has to be way more intense than anything you, me even Steven and the others have been through. If anything, the only reason I'm thinking we should go back in there is to get Steven out. I know he wanted to help but he's just been thrown into the fire and that fire's as hot as the sun."
Connie knew Greg was right but she knew she had to do something.
Meanwhile back at the fight everyone struggled to keep up with Behemoth whose rampage seemed endless.
"GRAH-HA-HA THIS IS AMAZING MY STAMINA FEELS ENDLESS NOW! NO WAY EVEN STRAW HAT CAN BEAT ME NOW! IN FACT." Behemoth then turned to see Spinel still trying to get Luffy out of the rubble as fast as she could.
"OY STRAW HAT! I HEARD YOU EARLIER, THAT LITTLE PINK FOOL'S YOUR NEWEST CREWMATE, RIGHT?"
Luffy suddenly knew what Behemoth was gonna do next.
"SPINEL YOU GOTTA RUN, HURRY FORGET ABOUT ME AND RUN!" Luffy Ordered to his crewmate.
"What? B-but I; But I can't leave you here Luffy!" Spinel called back, trying to mask her fear the best she could.
"HURRY AND MOVE NOW THAT'S AN ORDER AS YOUR CAPTAIN!" Luffy Pleaded for his new friend to get out away from Behemoth's sights.
"HEH, FIRST YOUR LATE BROTHER ACE AND NOW THIS PATHETIC PINK DIRT BALL, YOU REALLY SHOULD STOP BEING SO WEAK!" Behemoth roared as he swatted Spinel away from Luffy. Everyone was in shock no more then Luffy who held a stunned and shocked look on his face as Spinel flew high in the air and crashed into the tallest building in Little Home-world before falling to the ground. Thankfully, Her gem wasn't cracked but Spinel suffered major damage from the one strike and colliding with the building alone.
"Spinel!" Called Zoro as he saw how hurt his new crewmate was. Not knowing that much on gems still Luffy and Zoro believed that attack had been near fatal.
Steven was now no longer scared but he was mad, he hadn't felt like this in along time but his rage boiled up and suddenly his entire body (minus his clothes) turned pink, and he began to charge at Behemoth ramming into him from all sides with his shield.
"You came to my hometown caused all sorts of trouble just cuz my new friends were trying to stop your boss from doing bad things? What the heck is wrong with you?!" Steven screamed in Behemoths face the only thing separating them was his Rose Quartz shield.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!" Behemoth asked as if Steven's question touched a nerve. "I'M A DAMN PIRATE YOU STUPID GLOW STICK! WE LIVE TO ROB, STEAL AND CAUSE CHAOS ON EVERYONE!"
Behemoth then summoned a stone hand from the ground, and it grabbed Steven and he soon dropped out of his Pink state. Despite his extra strength in his Pink state Steven couldn't get out. Behemoth then stood towering over steven lurking over him like a monster.
"I HEARD ALL ABOUT YOU IN THE ONE DAY I'VE BEEN HERE, AND I DON'T GIVE ONE DAMN ABOUT WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR THIS WORLD! CUZ AT THE END OF THE DAY, STRENGTH IS EVERYTHING! STRENGTH IS ABSOLUTE! AFTER ALL YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH YOU COULDN'T BEAT ME! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU AND YOUR STUPID ASSORTMENT OF LIVING ROCKS COULD BEAT MY CAPTAIN LET ALONE ME!?" Behemoth Screeched in Steven's face.
Luffy who had felt like everything had slowed down again was also at his wits end. his rage burning more intensely than Steven or Behemoth's anger combined. Luffy in a rage freed his left arm through anger alone, and began to coat his arm in armament haki once more.
"ARMAMENT HARDENING! MUSCLE BALLOON!" Luffy screamed to the heavens. Suddenly a gigantic ball of smoke appeared where Luffy was everyone turned to see what just happened. Zoro knowing what was coming next removed his 3rd sword from his mouth, and began to smile.
"You're screwed now Rocky." Called Zoro from one of the rooftops. "While it ain't our captain's full power any more this was a power he spent 2 years cultivating."
Sure enough a large figure seemed to appear from the smoke, all the Gems could hear a strange bouncing sound, as the smoke cleared away there, in a manner of speaking; Stood Luffy, his eyes, now more circular themselves and sported a black shadow trim, his torso area had bulked up to a rounded spherical shape, his hair had stood upward in a flame shape, both his arms now coated in armament haki, appeared very muscular the coating of haki stretching to his chest area and appeared to end in flame like tattoos. Along with a similar cloud ribbon to 5th Gear.
"Now 4th Gear! Bounce Man!" Luffy called as his transformation was now complete.
Everyone was once again in awe seeing Luffy the man they just met not too long ago completely change. Despite looking a little ridiculous, everyone agreed Luffy looked very menacing now.
"You're gonna pay for hurting my friends you stupid rock bastard!" Luffy said as he began to compress both of his arms into themselves. The second Luffy's feet touched the ground, he jumped toward behemoth at amazing speed. "NOW GUM-GUM KONG….. GATTLING!"
Luffy threw several punches at Behemoth's hijacked body doing his very best to beat the living crap out his opponent.
Everyone around watched as Luffy continued his onslaught, it was as if Luffy was indeed chipping away at Behemoth's seemingly invincible stamina. "RRRAAAAGGGHH!" Luffy roared as he put everything he could into each punch making sure each strike was faster and stronger then the next.
Soon Lion roared a portal where steven was and out popped Greg and Connie, who now had her sword.
"Sorry we're late Steven" Connie said as she dismounted Lion to try and help Steven get free. "We tried to think of ways to help you and."
"What the Hey is happening here?" Greg exclaimed as he looked up to see 4th Gear Luffy throwing a hail storm of punches at Behemoth relentlessly.
Garnet soon ran over and using her gauntlets smashed Steven's prison without hurting him. "Thanks Garnet" Steven said.
Steven and the others looked to where Spinel had landed then to where the bubbled diamonds were then to Luffy again. Steven knew what to do. "Connie, can you and Dad grab the diamonds, they should still be in Spinel's bubble."
"On it!" Connie replied with a thumbs up and a smile.
"Garnet, you think you can help Luffy? He's doing great right now but we need all the help we can get."
"Roger!" Garnet said with a nod.
"I'm Gonna grab Spinel and try to get her out of here." Steven said. With that the group of 5 split up to fulfill their tasked Connie and Greg rode Lion as he dashed through the rocky battlefield, occasionally doing a mini-warp portal to dodge falling rubble or Behemoth's feet stomping the ground. Soon the three reached the bubbled gems, Connie leaned over as Lion ran toward the bubble and grabbed it, Soon Lion made another portal and warped back to where Greg hap parked his van away from Little Home-World.
Garnet, who had leaped into the air to rejoin the fight re-summoned her gauntlets then enlarged them to a massive size. "Heh seems like me, Luffy and this Monster have one thing in common, we like to go big or go home when it comes to Punching someone." She said with a slight smirk before throwing her own volley of punches at Behemoth.
Steven was able to reach Spinel who lie unconscious on the ground. Steven inspected her gem and was relived to see it wasn't cracked or broken. "Oh thank the stars." He sight with relief. "Come one Spinel, we gotta get you out of here." Steven said as he began to pick up the pink gem. However, the second Steven got Spinel on her feet. Steven heard a strange noise.
Da-Doom
Da-Doom
"Huh? What was that?" Steven asked as he turned his head left and right. But the source was no where to be seen.
Back with Luffy and Garnet their continuous Volleys pressed on however Garnet began to see Luffy was starting to wear out, as Luffy's breathing was now very heavy and his panting was very loud.
"Damn it all! This guy feels tougher than Kaido! All this punching is harder than before, even with my Ryuo Haki!" Luffy panted in desperation.
"Captain Luffy!" Garnet called while focusing on her own attack. "I sense you might not keep that form for long if you continue to hold it while we fight, fall back and let us handle this."
"I Can't!" Luffy Responded his panting even heavier "I can end this if I could go all out but I'd need sometime to take on my next gear and the second I stop he's gonna Kill us both! I Just gotta make due with 4th Gear and Knock him down!"
"I got your back captain!" called a voice from behind. Zoro had moved in front of Behemoth and was now behind Luffy and Garnet. "Luffy tag out, I'll Help keep him busy with Garnet while you regain enough strength for that new 5th Gear of yours." Zoro said through clenched teeth as he held his sword in his mouth.
Luffy understood. This was the chance he needed and trusted in his first mate and his new friends to hold of their foe for him.
Luffy quickly dropped out of 4th Gear, the air escaping his mouth pushed him all the way back to the entrance of Little Home-world. This also gave Behemoth the opportunity to regain the tide of battle and began to throw his own punches back at Garnet for a while Garnet held her own but Behemoth was regaining the advantage fast.
"Heh. Seems like we both got to fight that orange idiot and another of Warp's Cronies." Zoro said as he began to take Luffy's Place. "Three sword style…Purgatory…Oni GIRI!" Zoro was enveloped in a large Purple aura and flew towards the battle once more, once he reached Behemoth, it was once agai clash as Zoro pushed his sword against one side of Behemoth's body to connect the attack and the other side Garnet continued to throw a flurry of punches.
Amethyst, who had soon ran to Luffy helping him up, with his arm over her shoulder. "I gotcha man." She said. "Let's get you outta here. Garnet and your sword guy can finish this."
"No way." Luffy panted. "Zoro tagged in so I could Finish this bastard once and for all!"
"Can you really do it man? You're WAY to tired as is" Amethyst replied.
"I just need 3 minutes. Then I'll have enough power to use 5th Gear in one big attack." Though as confident as Luffy sounded he then looked at his free hand. "I was still worried about using it since last time, the drawbacks kicked in later then they should've but I cant worry about that right now." The Rubber pirate said as he looked toward the battle hoping Zoro and the other Wouldn't die.
Both Zoro and Garnet were trying their very hardest to keep Behemoth at bay. Though Garnet was starting to wear out herself and Zoro was pouring every ounce of strength and haki into his attack.
Steven tried to head to the warp pad but the strange noise seemed to keep pestering him as if the noise itself wouldn't let Steven leave for the warp pad right in front of him.
Doom-Dut-Da-Da
Doom-Dut-Da-Da
"Agh! What's making that Noise!" Steven screamed "And how is it not letting me move?!"
Suddenly Steven felt a hand press against his shoulder her turned to see Spinel's hand had tightened and gripped his shoulder, meaning Spinel had regained consciousness.
"Spinel!" Steven said happy that she was already awake. "Are you Ok? How bad are your injuries?" However, Spinel didn't answer Steven at all. Steven felt something was off. Suddenly Spinel let out a small burp. And something bizarre began to happen as Spinel's gloves began to go from pink to white.
"Ok I think I've Got enough energy" Luffy said as he let go of Amethyst to stand up on his own. "I only got enough haki and strength to pull of one attack. If I can't beat him with what I got we're dead." Luffy replied.
"Good Luck man." Amethyst said "we're all counting on you!"
Luffy once again took his Iconic battle stance and allowed his heart to begin to beat wildly.
Doom-Dut-Da-Da
Doom-Dut-Da-Da
Unbeknown to Luffy as he took on his White transformation once again, a similar transformation was occurring right behind Behemoth. Spinel's Top and boots had changed from the dark mauve to a brighter purple, every other clothing her physical form had turned as white as her long stalking tights. Her twin pig tails took on a curly flame shape as well as become white as well.
"Spinel?! What's happening to you Is this something white did to you?" Steven asked in bewilderment as he didn't know what to do or how to stop what was happening.
"Pbth." Spinel snickered a little and soon she began to laugh. "heh-heh-heh. Ha-ha-ha! AH HA-HA-HA HA HA-HA-HA!" Spinel was now laughing as if someone had told her the joke of the century. Spinel soon adopted a cloud ribbon of her own, and her transformation was now complete. Spinel continued to laugh her head off letting go of Steven and was now bouncing on the dirt as if she was on a bounce house.
"Ohh! I Feel GRREAT NOW!" Spinel chortled as she bounced up and landed on her feet with renewed glee.
"S-Spinel? Is that you? Or is this White?" Steven asked not sure of what to make of all this.
"Whaddya talkin' about It's Me your Family member Spinel!" Replied the now white and purple gem to Steven as if she was oblivious to all the chaos around her. "I'm Feelin' Like the insides of my gem are screamin' out with Joy and excitement. I feel like I can do even more fun things now!"
Soon the two gems saw a large amount of red lightning infront of Behemoth. And right there was Luffy now in his 5th Gear form.
"Oh WOWIE!" Spinel cheered. "Luffy's doin' the cool white thing again! That how he beat Bloodstone on home-world!"
Realizing that Spinel was oblivious to her own transformation, Steven looked to her and Spinel for a minuet.
"Spinel I know you only fought us those two times, but we need your help, Luffy looks like hes gonna finish things but he's gonna need your help do you think you can do anything?"
Zoro had scened that Luffy finally went into 5th gear and decided to give Behemoth one Final surge of power. Digging deep Zoro poured as much haki and will as he could into his attack. And much like with Kaido, Zoro seemed to have activated his own Conqueror's haki. Zoro's attack connected but didn't seem to do as much damage as he hoped.
"I GOT YOU KNOW RORONOA!" Behemoth bellowed as he swatted Zoro away and then finally slammed Garnet to the ground.
"Garnet!" Steven Called in a panic.
"Alright!" Luffy said with a big toothy grin. "Let's end this Rocky!"
"TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUTTA MY MOUTH RUBBER BOY!" Behemoth barked back.
Luffy then began to prepare his final attack. Crimson and white Flames enveloped his hand
"NOW GUM GUM…."
Spinel realized this was her chance and instinctively began to copy Luffy's attack without realizing it and at that same time, Behemoth summoned a large haki coated boulder.
"HERE'S MY FINAL GIFT TO YOU STRAW HAT, A SPECIAL TOMBSTONE JUST FOR YOU! OBELISK BOMB!"
"STAR ROC!"
Luffy threw a 5th gear version of the Gum-Gum Red Roc straight towards Behemoth and Behemoth himself threw his giant boulder at Luffy. However, it seemed as if the Obelisk bomb was going to hit Luffy before the pirate captain could reach Behemoth himself everyone realized this was the end.
Just then a Second Gum-Gum Star Roc flew from behind the two fighters and shattered the boulder with a single punch. Surprising everyone, Spinel had launched her own attack in the nick of time saving Luffy
"What the hell?" Luffy asked in shock.
No sooner had the boulder had been crushed Spinel then made her arm make a complete U-turn and without losing momentum and both Her and Luffy's fist rammed into Behemoth finally knocking the wind out of his sails.
Behemoth staggered back and all the damage he had taken finally caught up to him, and he collapsed falling unconscious.
Finally, all was now quiet. Everyone looked around to see if Behemoth would pop back up but he laid there.
"WAHOO!" Cheered Amethyst, "WE TOTALLY WON!"
As Zoro and Garnet Picked themselves up Bismuth, Lapis, Peridot, and Pearl came running toward where the action was.
"Ah ha ha!" Bismuth Laughed seeing Luffy in 5th Gear that's a great look on ya string bean, and you really knocked this loser for a spin I know that."
"Thanks." Luffy said as he de transformed to normal. Unlike last time, where Luffy got super wiped out, he didn't deflate like usual but he was in fact very tired now "But who the hell threw that second punch?"
"Luffy!" Called Spinel happily as she bounced toward her new friend still in her Strange 5th gear appearance. This shocked a lot of people as not even Luffy expected to see his new crewmate sporting an appearance to his most recent form.
Spinel stretched her arms around Luffy and pulled herself toward her captain and the proceeded to smooch his entire face with a kiss!
"Ah Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha!" Spinel laughed "We totally beat that dumb jerk! Im so happy you're alive!"
However, happy Spinel was She was now the center of attention as Spinel was still in her new white form. Spinel looked around at everyone and noticed something was wrong.
"Is there somethin' on my face or somethin'?" asked Spinel innocently.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Bonus Corner:
Onyx: One of Warp's commanders. Unlike Sapphire, he had truly achieved his Devil fruit's awakening. Unlike most Logias he doesn't rely heavily on his elemental form mostly cuz he's always surrounded by earth and can use the ground beneath his feet to attack. Thus he uses his fruit as if he were a paramecia type.
Behemoth: Thanks to him having awakened his Devil fruit Onyx could allow his element form to change composition and change into any stone or gemstone. As an added bonus Onyx could assimilate into whatever type of earth/stone his body changes into, doing this to the Gems of Steven's World allowed him to totally posses and transform the gems. Onyx as behemoth could still use his other powers when possessing a gem, Upon possessing Jasper Onyx's will and powers allowed him to boost and augment Jasper's form for his more ideal body.
Golem-Golem Fruit: The Logia type Golem-Golem fruit allows the user to become the very earth itself. While it shares traits with the paramecia type Stone-Stone fruit, its clear from Onyx's usage it is a far superior fruit. Awakening it allows the user to not only change their elemental form into other types of Stone, and gemstones but being in Steven's world the user could posses a gem if they turn their elemental form into the same type of gem as their target and assimilate into the gemstone.
Gum-Gum Star Roc: The 5th gear version of Gum-Gum Red Roc. Using Ryuo the flames are both red like Ace's flames and while like Luffy's 5th Gear form.
Gum-Gum Twin Star Roc: even if Luffy didn't know how it happened, Spinel fired off her own Star Roc and was able to hit Behemoth too, due to this outcome this variant is sperate from Luffy's solo version
5th Gear Spinel: During the Fight with Bloodstone, a strange blue energy went from Luffy who was in 5th Gear into Spinel due to his hand touching her gem. For whatever reason Spinel Achieved this form after being heavily injured at the hands of Behemoth and despite being oblivious to her new powers Spinel aided Luffy in beating Behemoth.
Next Time:
The Mystery of 5th Gear Spinel? The search for the Straw hats begins!
Luffy: "I'm gonna be the king of the Pirates!"
