82 81. Devastating Defeat

After getting Luffy's answer, Rayleigh decide to coat their ship, and he said it's free, so they're very happy. But there is an admiral in this place, so they need to be careful. They decide to leave the bar because they are the targets, and they didn't want to involve the others.

"Yosh, let's hide in Amusement Park!"-Luffy

"You just wanna play."-Usopp

They leave after Rayleigh give them his vivre card so they can gather in 3 days after he finished coating the ship. They leave and discuss where to go, when suddenly someone stand in their way, and it surprised them.

"DAMMIT, WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?"-Jon

The Straw Hats look at Bartholomew Kuma that stand in their way. They know he must've wanted to capture them. Luffy didn't know Kuma because he is unconscious when Kuma arrived.

"He is a Sichibukai that come after Moria got defeated. He is the one that beat me and Zoro before."-Jon

Luffy finally understand and got serious. Suddenly Kuma open his gloves and open his palm at them. They know his palm is dangerous, so they got ready to move. But Jon feel something is amiss. There's no paw in Kuma's palm, there is a small hole instead.

Suddenly a bright light fired from Kuma's palm and it shot at them. They avoid it and the ground explode. Now Jon sure that this is not Kuma's devil fruit power. Jon use his sharingan to inspect Kuma's body, while Luffy and Chopper are impressed by Kuma's beam attack. Jon look at Kuma's body and got alerted.

"HORY SHEET! Alright, hear me guys, i don't think that this is the Kuma that we know. His human body is very different from Kuma. He is a Cyborg, that's for sure, but he is not Kuma. I don't know who is it and why they make him looks like Kuma tough."-Jon

"WHAATT?"-All

Kuma suddenly attack again with beams from his palm and mouth. This make Luffy and Chopper impressed by the beam. So the other remind them to focus.

"Oi, if this is different from the one that we fought, then are there more of them?"-Sanji

"It's possible, but we need to defeat this guy first before thinking about that."-Jon

Kuma attack them with beam again and they avoid it. Luffy immediately use his gear 2nd, he need to use his full power from the start. Jon also use lightning mode even tough his body is hurt. He also use light-weight rock jutsu on himself and Zoro, the previous one has wear out.

The crew then attack Kuma from all sides with their strongest attack. They can't hold back their power, because they knew he is stronger than them. Jon make some clones and distributed paper bombs. Jon and his clones stick the paper bombs while the other attack Kuma.

"FALL BACK!"-Jon

The crew fall back and Jon activate the paper bombs that cover all parts of Kuma's body.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM*

The explosions are big because so many bombs explode at the same time on the same place. After the smoke gone, they look at it and search for Kuma. Jon can see it with his sharingan and can't believe his eyes.

"GET DOWN!"-Jon

The crew get down and suddenly a laser beam passed above them. The ground behind them explode, and they look at where the beam come from. They see Kuma is still fine, only his clothes are tattered. They also see a mark on his neck.

"Even an explosion like that only scratch his body, just what kind of metal did they use to make his body?"-Franky

"PX-4?"-Jon

The crew fight with Kuma again, and they use all their power. Luffy keep using his gear 2nd and attack Kuma with fast speed. Zoro & Jon forced themself to move even if it hurts them. Sanji also keep kicking Kuma even tough his leg start to hurt. The other also attack Kuma, but Kuma's body is very durable. He is too fast and can avoid many attacks.

"Nami, make a big thunder cloud, i will use that."-Jon

"Alright."-Nami

Nami move back and start to make thunder cloud on top of them. The other keep attacking Kuma and dodge his attack. Zoro & Jon start to feel uncomfortable even tough their body has become lighter. They still move excessively, so their body weight doesn't matter.

"It's ready!"-Nami

Jon move back and make some hand seals. He gather some lightning on his hand, then throw it to the cloud. Jon ask the crew to move away, then he execute his jutsu.

"KIRIN!"-Jon

A big Kirin is made from lightning and it strike at Kuma. The explosion is bigger than the previous paper bombs. Kuma stop moving and they think it's over. But then, Kuma's move a little more franctically and he start to attack them again. But now his attacks are very rapid and he don't even dodge.

"Shit, he got berserk."-Sanji

"Damn, his human body can withstand that scale of lightning. He must be very strong even before becoming a cyborg."-Jon

They fight again but suddenly Jon fall and coughing. He feel his injury hurt again because he need to move around many times to dodge Kuma's attack. Then Zoro also feel the same, he fall on his knees and panting. The other are worried about them but they still need to fight Kuma.

Jon & Zoro stand up again and push themselves. Jon immediately make some hand seals and slam his hands on the ground. He make a swamp below Kuma and trap him there.

"HURRY UP! IT WILL NOT HOLD HIM FOR LONG."-Jon

Kuma suddenly open his mouth to shoot a beam, but suddenly a hand appear on his chest and close his jaw. The beam explode in his mouth and he got injured. The other immediately attack with their strongest attack. They don't hold back at all, and finally defeat him after some time.

Jon & Zoro immediately fall down and panting hard. The other hurriedly come to them, but Jon ask Franky to bring him toward Kuma. Franky do what he say, and Jon take out a big scroll. Then he put the corpse inside the scroll and store it in inventory.

"Oi, what are you doing?"-Franky

"You can learn this cyborg to upgrade youself Franky. It's a waste to leave it here, and if you can be stronger than this guy by studying it, it will be better right?"-Jon

After that, they go to hide from the other Kuma or even the admiral. Franky carry Jon, and Usopp carry Zoro on their back. Jon throw some painkiller to Zoro and they eat it to kill the pain. Soon, they don't feel hurt again, but they knew they can't move yet. Suddenly 2 people fall in the middle of their formation.

"Straw Hat pirate crew, it's impressive that you can defeat PX-4."-???

The crew look at the one talking and see a fat guy wearing a red clothes and holding a big axe. He introduce himself as Sentomaru and tasked by Admiral Kizaru to command Kuma cyborgs, they name it Pacifista and captured the Straw Hats, he also come with another Pacifista.

He immediately command the Pacifista that come with him to attack the crew. They dodge the attack, but they can't fight back after being exhausted by the previous Pacifista. Jon & Zoro also injured, so they can't fight back. Luffy then give them order to split and meet again in 3 days.

Franky carry Jon to leave with Sanji and Nami. Usopp carry Zoro and leave with Brook. Luffy leave with Chopper and Robin. Their group move to different directions. Jon's group just about to cross a bridge when it suddenly collapsed by a beam attack. The Pacifista shot the beam from afar.

"Damn, that beam attack is so troublesome."-Sanji

They try to look for another way, but the pacifista is coming toward them fast. They also see Luffy's group is chased by Sentomaru and Luffy try to retaliate. But then Luffy's attack got deflected by Sentomaru's palm attack and he got flung away instead.

"Hey, is that the same power as Kuma?"-Sanji

"I don't think so, there's no devil fruit with the same power with the other. Every devil fruit has their own unique power, even if it's similar."-Jon

"I am not a devil fruit user, that is my power from training."-Sentomaru

Jon's group also got attacked by Pacifista that come to them. They run to another direction to get away from the Pacifista. Jon take out paper bombs and fuse his chakra, then he drop them on the ground. When the Pacifista step on them, he explode it and it can stop the pacifista for a moment.

"Oi, don't move too much, your injuries will become worse."-Sanji

"At least i won't get killed right? Kuhh!"-Jon

Jon's back that being pummelled by Kuma got hurt again. But he just eat a painkiller again, so he can hold for sometime. He got injured almost in every part of his torso. Kuma's punch is really powerfull, and he also got slammed to the ground. Receiving a full brunt of a strong shockwave will kill him if he is still normal people.

Suddenly, they heard an explosion from Zoro's group direction. They thought it's another Pacifista but it is something even worse. There is a tall middle aged man with yellow stripped clothes and a marine cloak. The cloak indicate that he is an admiral.

"Shit, an admiral."-Sanji

"That is Kizaru, he is a logia, Light Light Fruit. He is a light man, be carefull."-Jon said weakly

Kizaru's attack make Usopp, Zoro and Brook flung away. Zoro that being carried by Usopp fall when the explosion happen. Kizaru approached the unmoving Zoro and raised his leg. His leg shined and he pointed it at Zoro. Usopp & Brook try to keep Kizaru away from Zoro but their attack can't touch him at all. Then Kizaru move his leg.

"NOO"-Crew

Jon see a flash from the corner of his eyes and then Kizaru's kick got deflected by someone. Rayleigh has come and kick away Kizaru's leg. Jon can't believe how fast Rayleigh's movement is, that even his three tomoe sharingan almost can't catch up to that.

"He's very fast, but how can he touch a light logia like that?"-Sanji

"Oooh, Dark King Rayleigh, how scary. I'm not coming to fight a legend like you."-Kizaru

"I can't let you pluck some good seedlings before they sprout."-Rayleigh

"EVERYONE, FOCUS ON RUNNING AWAY! WE CAN'T WIN AGAINST THEM."-Luffy

Franky then told Sanji and Nami to hop on his back too. Then Franky use Coup de Vent to get away from the Pacifista. They landed near Zoro's group and start to run away again, but the Pacifista catch up to them. Sanji and Brook try to stop him but they can't fight him on their own.

Kizaru also go to attack them, but Rayleigh attack him with his sword, and even hurt his cheek. Then both of them got into a sword fight, where Kizaru use a light sword. Rayleigh really have a method to touch Logia power, even with sword.

Chopper suddenly turn into his Monster Point so he can help to fight. The Pacifista then attack Usopp, make him drop Zoro. When Zoro fall, the Pacifista try to attack Zoro but suddenly stop. They see another pacifista, but then realize he is not Pacifista.

"He's the real Kuma."-Sanji

Suddenly the real Kuma come close to Zoro and then he touch Zoro with his paw, and suddenly Zoro disappear. Jon see this clearly because they're close and widen his eyes. He can't hear anything with his emotion in turmoil. He don't know what happen to them, but he can't think of something good.

Then he look around and see his friends disappeared by Kuma's hand one by one. Brook, Sanji, Chopper, Usopp, then Franky disappeared. He can't move his injured body when Kuma come close to him but he is very despaired.

He never feel this despaired, ever since he died and leave his family. He feel very weak even with this power, and now he see his friends disappear in front of his eyes. Then, high amount of chakra start to surge into his eyes.
