Thriller Bark, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
Luffy remained there, watching Kuma maintain the same position while his flames burned, warming the environment around them.
"Tsk." Seeing his opponent stationary, he decided to act. With a quick movement, he blasted the ground, flying towards the Shichibukai, quickly catching up with him using his phase 2 speed.
He tensed his muscles as he clenched his fist, arriving in front of Kuma, and unleashed his punch with great effort against the Cyborg. However, Kuma simply raised his hand and Luffy punched his palm with the bear paw.
What happened next was a childish sound, as if a child squeezed his rubber ducky, creating that sound. Luffy was stunned as he lost all the impact of his force; we were quite amazed by this akuma no mi of Kuma.
With his punch being diverted by Kuma's power, the Shichibukai didn't remain idle; And with his other hand, Kuma pointed it open in front of Luffy and, before the pirate could react, a shock field emerged from the paw, catching Luffy and throwing him back as he flew, lifting trees and ground, going straight for 50 meters until it exploded.
Luffy didn't immediately emerge from the middle of that explosion. Like Kuma, who had been waiting in the same place. Then, in the midst of all that dust, a glow happened and flames began firing against the cyborg. Kuma looked at it calmly and raised his hands again, launching also numerous paw-shaped balls, sending them against the flames. The first air ball that collided with the fireball created a huge explosion between shock and pressure against the flame explosion. And it was not limited to just that one, numerous fireballs from Luffy began to collide with Kuma's air balls, creating countless explosions.
The island began to have constant explosions echoing throughout, at this moment, while all the people did not stop looking this way at the moment.
"This," murmured Usopp, quickly sensing what was happening with his observation haki.
"What's happening?" Nami asked, looking at all those explosions knowing Luffy was there fighting, with his purple flames.
"Luffy is fighting someone else, and someone much stronger than Moria," Usopp commented with a calm face.
And while the explosions continued elsewhere, Moria finally woke up after being stunned, breathing heavily. Removing his stones, he started to leave the place, looking at the battle happening.
"I will take revenge," he spoke frustrated.
Meanwhile, the flames and balls finally stopped exploding. Kuma saw Luffy flying using his wings while preparing his sword emitting red electricity. He pointed it at the Shichibukai and launched a lightning bolt at Kuma without caring about Moria awakened perceiving through his haki.
The bolt traveled through the space at high speed, yet was stopped as soon as it hit Kuma's palm, accumulating energy to be reflected, while the lightning illuminated the entire sky of Thriller Bark, but not hitting Luffy, because he was no longer in the air.
Luffy took advantage of this time as he disappeared from in front of the attack and landed beside Kuma blasting the ground and, before Kuma could react, Luffy fired a powerful punch into an opening. A Cyborg flying devastated through the island, while exploding the ground with his own body. The impact was so strong that it dragged through half of the place,
While there were some people hiding in the forest, who were approaching, curious to see what was happening, quickly saw the ground rising in front of them, unable to react, being hit as they flew out, screaming frightened. And Kuma finally came out of the end of the explosion showing no emotions, while he looked a bit hurt.
Luffy quickly started heading his way while flapping his wings, Kuma, seeing that, opened his mouth and the laser began to accumulate energy, firing directly at the pirate who easily dodged and approached with his sword again.
And, along with the first attack, Kuma fired shock paw-pads, exploding in the area. Luffy began zigzagging in the midst of the destruction, dodging both flying stones from the ground or the explosions themselves.
A cloud of dust rose from the area, and Luffy appeared above Kuma, swiftly spinning his body with the sword to deliver a strong slash to the Shichibukai, but Kuma covered his hand and placed it forward to block the attack again. The sword seemed to hit something soft while surrounded by electricity, but it had no effect against Kuma's power.
However, Luffy just smiled and vanished from the spot, leaving only his sword generating red lightning in Kuma's palm. Meanwhile, Kuma realized that Luffy was already below him, preparing a hook.
He couldn't react as he was hit in his belly, exploding upwards. Luffy didn't even breathe as he quickly grabbed his sword from the air left by the Shichibukai and appeared above an out-of-control Kuma. He even tried to react but the pirate was faster, punching him in the back, sending him plummeting to the ground while colliding with the earth, creating a hole and cracks like a spider's web, the forest began to collapse with his increased strength. The entire island shook with this impact.
Luffy saw all that destruction while landing in a hole over 20 meters deep. "Can you still hold onto that Bible after all this?" Luffy spoke, amazed, seeing that Kuma was still protecting it. "I really want to know what's written in there." He couldn't help commenting in a calm tone.
Kuma lay there, still conscious but immobile. Luffy knew he could move, which made him curious as to why the man stayed planted like a nail in the earth, Luffy also didn't attack him anymore, simply canceled his transformation, returning to human form and sat on the edge of the hole.
"You know, Kuma. It's hard to talk about this..." Luffy began, scratching his head, as if he hadn't just been fighting this cyborg. "I know the truth about Bonney," he said.
The cyborg, though showing no expression on his face, moved it to clearly look at Luffy, showing he was surprised, even on his half-machine face.
"Not just that, I know your story," he said, not caring how irrational this sounded.
"What do you know?" Kuma spoke this time, maintaining a neutral and slightly robotic voice.
"About you being a slave, your race, about Bonney's mother, about your deal with the 5 elders, about Nika..." he said.
"How...?" Kuma spoke again.
"I have my ways..." Luffy commented, wanting to change the subject and went on to speak. "You know," He started to laugh. "A long time ago, my sister and I were playing in the forest. However, there was a moment when I saw a man watching us. I wondered who he was; we were kids, I even thought he was a big bear," Luffy said with a smile, and looked at Kuma. "But it was you, you were watching us, watching Lucy, more specifically," Luffy spoke, knowing that Kuma had really appeared, only that at that time he didn't know him, nor did he know.
"..." Kuma stayed silent.
"JoyBoy has returned, I know you know this. I must say, JoyGirl, Hahahaha. although she is in the Navy, she won't stay there for long, I'll be taking her out of there." Luffy spoke, after all, Lucy couldn't stay in that organization after the war.
"Is it really her?" He said sounding a rare feeling of disbelief, the coming of Nika was quite surprising, even for a man who always believed that he would return.
"You will see it in the future. I can also protect Bonney," he said, this caught the attention even more of Kuma, who, despite being silent, seemed both surprised by what Luffy had said to him.
"Can you protect her?" he asked.
"Yes, you can be sure of that, as soon as I find her, I can take care of her." Luffy spoke calmly, Bonney would be a very welcome addition after the war.
"Thank you," was the only thing he said.
"Alright, I..." Luffy was going to say something, but suddenly a tremor occurred, turning his attention now to his back and seeing a large shadow emerging in the middle of the island, Luffy raised an eyebrow.
'It seems he finally decided to act...' Luffy murmured internally, he had left Moria on purpose so that he would increase his forces, after all, he wanted to have a megazord fight.
While Uta was making the zombies dance with unique synchronization and steps, they suddenly began to fall one after another.
"What's happening?" Uta was surprised by this, and even Brook pointed at their feet.
"The shadows, they're leaving their bodies." He exclaimed as they began to move toward the forest, leaving a crowd of inert zombies on the ground.
Kuina, who had been fighting her Ancestor, had just finished the fight at this moment. Her ancestor lay defeated on the ground. "You really are a worthy descendant, although I am not at my prime to face you with my true strength, still, I am satisfied. But it's a shame, I regret not seeing all your power," he said with satisfaction.
"..." Kuina just nodded silently, about to pick up the Shisui sword.
But just as she was about to grab the sword with Ryuma raising it to her, suddenly, the shadow of the zombie left his body, making him fall like a puppet. Kuina looked towards where the shadow was dragged across the ground, heading for the forest, while Moria gathered them all in that place. He was determined to face the fight with Luffy and get his revenge as his shadows were devoured by his body, and he grew larger and larger.
Luffy, still sitting, watched the shadow grow and grow, until Moria exploded at his peak. "STRAW HAT!!" he shouted, stomping on the ground, and the entire island trembled with a part of it rising.
All the fog had disappeared, while all of Thriller Bark was shown as it really was: with a large candle in the center indicating it was a ship all along.
Luffy turned back to Kuma, still buried in the ground and lying down. "Man, I'm gonna deal with that guy over there, then we'll talk more, okay?" he said.
"..." Kuma remained silent; his mission was to prevent Luffy from killing Moria, but he saw him stand up and do nothing.
Luffy began to walk towards the giant. "Run!! Moria is going to kill everyone!" People began to emerge from the forest running to the opposite side where Luffy was heading.
A crazed Moria looked at Luffy, who was still in human form, yet flames began to emerge from him, starting to burn with his cloak fluttering and becoming more violent by the moment.
Then from Luffy exploded a pillar of fire, which shone in the middle of the ship and flew towards the sky, illuminating the darkness of Thriller Bark, and when he had finished burning, a creature of fire still kept the place lit with its rocky flames, stepping on the ground while cracking it, equal in size to Moria.
Ifrit looked at Moria who was gritting his teeth at that moment, with fierce eyes and then growled, now the battle would be between giants.
