Chapter 94: A new oponent

"I can't believe this! He actually defeated Moria!" Said one of many victims of Moria who lived on the island.

"We have our shadows back! we are free!"

"The Strawhats are the best!"

People celebrated all around them.

"Luffy is going to want a huge party after this." Said Usopp.

"There is no time for parties. We need to get out captain and leave this place." Said Vivi.

"What's the hurry? the most dangerous guy is already down." Zoro pointed out.

"To keep it short, there is another Shichibukai on the island. We need to leave before he -"

Vivi did not have time to finish as they heard people screaming.

"There is someone over there!" Shouted Usopp while pointing at one of the fallen towers.

Kuma disappeared from his stop at top of the tower and appeared again on the ground.

"How did he appear here so fast?"

"Run!"

"He is huge!" The men shouted and started to run away from him.

The bravest ones tried to attack Kuma but were defeated in a single attack.

"That guy is truly dangerous." Mutterd Zoro after seing Kuma in action.

"Do we really have to fight another Shichibukai already?" Exclaimed Sanji.

Vivi walked to Kuma. This is what she was afraid of. Kuma still wanted to test her crew.

"You promise me that if I didn't kill Moria you -"

Kuma rose his hand up.

"I only agree to let you pass."

"You know that's not what I meant! Do we really have to do this?" Asked Vivi.

"I have received direct orders to eliminate any witnesses of Moria's defeat. The World government would like to pretend that this never happened." Explained Kuma.

"What? so you are going to kill everyone on the island? that's crazy!" Shouted Franky.

Vivi turned to look at their doctor. "Chopper!, bring the Captain back to the ship and start his treatment. Nami, go with him"

"I cannot allow that. Strawhat is one they want to get rid of the most." Said Kuma before disappearing.

Vivi knew where He was going before he made his move, so she managed to get in front of Luffy just as Chopper was about to grab him.

Kuma appeared and extended his hand.

"Pad cannon"

Vivi blocked the attack but she was sent back with blood coming out of her mouth.

"What?!, how?. Vivi is immune to physical attacks." Said Chopper.

"That wasn't a physical attack, it seemed like he pushed the air, and I felt something else mixed with it." Zoro was not taking his eyes off Kuma.

"I ate the pad-pad fruit." Kuma showed them the palms of his hands, he had pads on them, like ones on cats or dogs.

"I am a paw ma-"

A water blade came flying and cut Kumas neck, revealing some metal beneath.

"Eh?, he is a cyborg too?" Cried Franky in surprise.

"Don't mind me, keep explaining your fruit." Shouted Vivi.

"Water blade!" She sent another one but Kuma deflected it with ease.

"The current you, cannot defeat me." Claimed Kuma.

"Well, I will keep trying, because I'm not letting you hurt my friends." She moved forward and prepared to punch Kuma, this one rose his hand to block, but then Vivi divided into two and flanked him. Kuma stopped one attack but received the other one on his ribs.

There was a loud crunching noise as Vivi's bones broke after making contact with the reinforced metal coating on Kuma's body.

'He feels harder than steel. What is he made of?...' She did not let the pain distract her as she continued her barrage of attacks.

"Blast!" She used her other hand to create an explosion of water and gain some distance while she regenerates her hand.

Meanwhile, the clone turned into water and clutched to Kuma's head, trying to suffocate him.

Kuma placed his hand on the water and deflected it away. The water was sent flying into the sky but Vivi quickly called it back into herself and recovered her normal size.

"Soru" She disappeared from the stop and appeared behind Kuma. "Double barrel Shotgun!" Both of her arms exploded into water shells that pierced Kuma's clothes and skin, revealing more metal.

Kuma gained some distance and started to shoot her with his paw cannons.

Vivi cried in pain as they impacted her body but managed to stay her ground.

His body was now covered in wounds and her eyes were shining brightly as she pushed her regeneration as far as it could go.

Her gaze moved to Chopper for a moment, greatly startling the deer.

"Didn't I tell to you take the Captain and go? what are you waiting for?"

Vivi's voice sounded a lot more commanding and authoritative than usual.

Chopper hurried up to pick up Luffy and carry him to the ship, with Nami following close behind.

"I said that I cannot allow-" Kuma was going to make a move when He was suddenly blasted away by a loud explosion.

"What was that?" Asked Sanji.

Zoro looked at Vivi.

"You just gave me an idea with your paw cannon." Vivi extended his arm out.

"Water cannon!" A big mass of water detached from Vivi while changing its shape into a sphere and shot out at incredible speed. At first, it just looked like a bigger version of the water bullet, but there was something extra in this one.

Kuma went to deflect the 'cannon ball' but the moment his hand made contact with it, the ball exploded with a loud sound.

"What? how can it explode? Is just water." Shouted Usopp.

"She compressed the water, so it would explode out when released." Commented Robin.

The cannon used a great deal of water mass, but she has gotten very good at recalling any water used in her attacks. So it would only take her a second after making her move to have the water back in her body. This way, she can keep attacking without worrying about becoming smaller.

"That's amazing! Vivi has gotten so strong!" Praised Sanji.

"Humph," Said Zoro.

"I underestimated you." Admitted Kuma. "I didn't think you were able to draw this much power from that fruit."

"It's been several months since I got my devil fruit. But I still have a long way to go." Admitted Vivi.

"Is not the devil fruit the one I was talking about, but the other one," Kuma said while looking at Vivi.
