75 74. Bartholomew Kuma

Jon widened his eyes when he look at the man sitting on a big rubble while talking with someone on denden mushi.

"Bartholomew Kuma."-Jon

"Who is he?"-Sanji

"Another Sichibukai, Bartholomew Kuma."-Jon

"SICHIBUKAI"-Crew

Suddenly Kuma appear in front of Moria that has been unconscious. He slap Moria's body and it suddenly disappeared. Everyone is very surprised by this, but then Kuma disappear again, and he appear in front of Luffy.

'I can't see his movement at all even with my sharingan.'-Jon

Kuma cocked his arm and want to slap Luffy with his palm. The crew alarmed by this, Jon immediately flickered and take Luffy away. Zoro & Sanji immediately attack Kuma, but their attack didn't work at all. Kuma deflected their attack with his palm.

Now they all look at his palm and it looks like animal paw. Kuma said he has devil fruit Nikyu nikyu no Mi, or Paw Paw fruit. His paw can deflect attacks.

"Devil fruit? Then how did he deflect Sanji's seastone shoes?"-Usopp

"No, he didn't touch his palm yet before. He push the air and repel Sanji away."-Jon

"Demon eyes Jon, your eyes really could see a lot of things."-Kuma

"Well, thank you, why are you in Moria's place Kuma?"-Jon

"That's a secret, but i have an order to kill all eyewitnesses of Moria's defeat."-Kuma

"SHIT!"-Crew

Franky try to attack Kuma but Kuma deflect it again. Suddenly Kuma swing his hand toward Franky and in a split second Franky got flung away and the stone and people behind him all got attacked and destroyed too. There's a paw print on the path of destruction.

"SHIT, HE BOUNCE THE AIR AT FAST SPEED TO ATTACK."-Jon

Zoro try to attack again but to no avail, Sanji also got the same result. Jon try to use his shadow imitation to bind Kuma, but Kuma disappeared before his shadow reach it. Kuma appearing at Jon's right side and immediately attack with his paw. Jon immediately move away and the ground where he stand before got destroyed instantly.

"He's a fighter type, different from Moria."-Jon

"YOU ALL, BRING LUFFY & FRANKY AWAY FROM HERE! WE WILL HOLD HIM OFF."-Zoro

The other understand the importance of Zoro's order. They will only burden Zoro, Jon & Sanji here. So they bring the injured ones away, but it seems Kuma disagree with their plan.

"No one can run away."-Kuma

Kuma then raise his hands and open it. His paw shake a little and they all heard some kind of bouncing sound. Jon look at Kuma's hand and widened his eyes.

"EVERYONE GATHER!"-Jon

"Wha-"-Nami

"NOW!"-Jon

They listen to Jon and gathering in one spot, including Sanji & Zoro. Jon immediately activate his Yin Seal again and make some hand seals. His friends ask Jon what happen and he just told them to look above Kuma's hand.

"T-that's.."-Nami

"He compressed so much air into a small size and if that is to be released..."-Robin

"It will become a big bomb."-Jon

They all surprised and panicked, but they don't understand why Jon ask them to gather instead of running away.

"He know we will try to run, so his bomb must have the power to reach us. Beside, have you forget he can move very fast before? If he suddenly move in the middle of the crowd when we run, it will be finished."-Jon

"I understand that, but why you gather us here?"-Nami

"To protect you guys of course."-Jon smile

Jon has finished gathering enough chakra for his jutsu, and Kuma also almost finished compressing air.

"Give me Straw Hat Luffy, and i will spare all your life!"-Kuma

Suddenly Kuma talk and ask them to betray Luffy, so their answer is clear.

""WE REFUSE""-All

Even the non-crew guys refuse, this surprised Jon, but he like it and smile.

"That's a shame, now die!"-Kuma

"Heeh, try it if you can! Doton: Earth Prison Dome."-Jon

Jon make an earth dome big enough to protect everyone. Just when Jon finished making his earth dome, Kuma release his air bomb. He release it right in front of the dome. Jon pour a lot of his chakra to the dome to make it more durable.

The bomb's explosion power is very high and Jon need to repair the wall at fast speed. Luckily, the bomb is in front of him, where all the chakra concentrated. So he can repair the dome faster and the dome wall is more durable than normal earth wall.

Sometime later, the explosion effect stopped and Jon feel relieved. But he can see Kuma's chakra outside, and he's fine. Jon think of something and then he make a clone. The clone then take control over the dome and he make a small hole for one person to get out from here. Jon immediately walk to the hole and Zoro feel something is amiss.

"Oi Jon, where are you going?"-Zoro

"Hmm? I will take down that guy."-Jon

"ALONE? ARE YOU CRAZY?"-Sanji

Jon just smile and look at his friends.

"Nami, please tell Vivi that i'm sorry for acting recklessly again. Zoro, only you can take over the command while Luffy's gone, you're the first mate. I will not die, and i will make sure you all survive."-Jon

Jon immediately get out and the wall closed. Zoro try to cut the wall but it repaired again. They also try to attack Jon's clone, but he make a wall to protect himself. The crew keep trying to open a hole in the wall that keep repairing.

"SHIT, KEEP ATTACKING, THE CLONE WILL LOSE HIS CHAKRA FASTER IF WE ATTACK IT CONTINUOUSLY!"-Zoro

The crew keep attacking the wall, and the people behind seem to be confused.

"Umm, he want to save you, why do you want to get out instead?"-Man A

"Because we're friends"-Straw Hats

"We will not let him dying again. He always hold the front like Luffy to protect us and sacrifice himself. He know someone wait him to go home but always act recklessly."-Nami

"Fighting an admiral, then fighting 5 vice admirals and 10 battleships in Buster Call, now this."-Usopp

All the people there have an unbelievable look in their face.

"He's not the strongest but always try the hardest. He lost his family once, and now we are his family, that's why he didn't want to lose it again."-Robin

"But we didn't want to lose him too."-Chopper

The people behind are touched by this and decide to help destroying the wall. Jon know this will happen, that's why he supply the clone with more chakra than usual.

~~~

Meanwhile on the outside, Jon face off with Kuma and he take out his Kusanagi blade and seastone stick.

"Bartholomew Kuma, i don't know why you're so obedient to World Goverment. But even if you're Aokiji, i will not let you touch my family in front of my eyes."-Jon

"Van D. Jono, i have heard about your fight with Aokiji. If that can be considered as a fight for you. Why don't you show me what you got, to fight an admiral."-Kuma

Jon immediately use lightning mode and cover his sword in right hand with sharp wind chakra and his staff in left hand with fire chakra. Wind and fire is supporting each other like what Naruto and Sasuke do, so he will try that. But he need to avoid Kuma's paw, so he need to move very fast.

Jon flickered and appear in front of Kuma, then swing his staff. Kuma react and swing his palm to attack Jon. Jon flickered again to Kuma's back and swing his sword now. Kuma suddenly disappeared and the Jon got hit and flung away. He crashed to Moria's castle and passed through many walls before stopping.

"*Cough cough* Damn, those fast movement is very troublesome. His attack is very strong too."-Jon

"Of course, this is normal on the other side of grandline"-Kuma

Kuma suddenly appear in front of Jon and he attack with his paw again. Jon immediately roll away from his spot, and it get destroyed. Then Jon extend his Kusanagi at a very fast speed, and Kuma is caught of guard. But Kuma can tilt his body and the sword just stab Kuma's shoulder. Jon immediately swing it out and it cut Kuma's shoulder.

Kusanagi sword is very strong that even 3rd Hokage's Enma that is very hard can become sore after getting attacked by it. Not to mention Jon use his wind chakra and make it sharper. But instead of being happy, Jon become shocked. He see some parts of Kuma's shoulder is made from metal, but he still see the flesh.

"You, are you a cyborg?"-Jon

"I am World Goverment's experiment subject, PX-0."-Kuma

Then Kuma open his mouth and light appear in it. His right eye also seem to shine, then the light in his mouth shot at Jon. Jon immediately move because he already feel something is amiss. Kuma keep shooting laser beam at Jon, so Jon can only run.

"Shit, this world science is too strange. They can have a cyborg with laser beam but their ship is still from wood. Damn, how can i defeat this thing? A cyborg with a strong pirate as a base is a cheat dammit."-Jon

"Just give up 'Demon Eyes', you can't win against me."-Kuma

"Give up? I can lose but i can't give up."-Jon

Jon then flickered many times and appear far in Kuma's right side. He point Kusanagi at Kuma and extend it. Kuma didn't dodge, but he put his paw in front of Kusanagi. Then the Kusanagi bounced back and Jon also flung with it. But Kuma's paw have a scratch from Jon's wind chakra.

Kuma notice it and he smile, then he appear behind Jon that still flying and slam Jon to the ground with his paw. Jon got the full brunt of it and cough some blood before he's knocked down. Kuma use much stronger attack than before and Jon take it directly with his body.

Kuma attack Jon's body directly rather than pushing the air to attack him. He got some internal damage and some of his bones cracked and break. Then Kuma put his palm on Jon's body, and suddenly he feel his energy gone instantly when a blue paw balloon appear.

Kuma can take out most of Jon's chakra energy from the body using his paw power. Jon can only look at Kuma that has turn around and didn't look at him. He see Kuma look at the dome and he slam his two legs and plant it to the ground.

"DAMMIT, KUMA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I'M STILL ALIVE, COME HERE AND FIGHT ME!"-Jon

Kuma ignore Jon that shouting and trying to move his body but keep failing. Jon didn't have any energy left to move his body, and his body is injured badly too. Suddenly Jon see Kuma move his hands and bounce the air rapidly toward the dome. Jon now can only hope the clone have enough chakra to hold it.

~~~

Inside the dome, Jon's clone still hold on and repair the dome from the crew's attacks. Luffy & Franky are still unconscious, their damages are big enough. Suddenly the clones open the wall that surround him, this make Zoro and Sanji try to attack him immediately.

"WAIT! SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED."-Clone

Zoro & Sanji stopped and then they feel the dome shaking. The clone tell them that Kuma is attacking the dome and Jon has been defeated but he's still alive and conscious or the clone will disappear. The clone told them to move away from the wall where Kuma attack, and the clone move closer so the chakra supply will be higher.

The clone open a big hole behind and everybody get out and crouch down, some even lay on the ground. Sometime later, the clone dispelled because it run out of chakra. He have repaired the damage from the crew and now from Kuma's attack. So his chakra depleted very fast. Jon got the memories from the clone and see the dome break.

"F*CK!"-Jon
