Chapter 3
"Fairies Meet Pirates"
Natsu and Lucy made it back to the guild hall with Ace, Marco, and Whitebeard. When they got there they noticed that Fairy Tail had some other visitors as well. "Hey gramps, who are these people?" Natsu asked Makarov who was sitting on the bar.
"They are a pirate crew named the Straw Hats," Makarov chuckled. "And who are these people with you two?"
"The shirtless black haired one is Ace, the blonde is Marco, and the huge one is Whitebeard," Lucy said as she pointed to each of them.
"Ace!" the straw hat captain yelled from across the room. Ace and everyone turned to look at him.
"Luffy," Ace grinned. The two of them went at each other with their fists clenched and heading for each other's faces. When their fists made impact, both of their hats flew off their heads. Both of them had huge grins on their faces even after hitting each other.
"Heheh my money is on the tall one," Natsu said.
"What money?" Lucy looked at him questioningly.
"You know, the money we got from the last job we did."
"That money is for my rent, you idiot!" Lucy said to Natsu as she glared at him intensely.
Ace and Luffy picked up their hats and brushed them of before putting them back on. Fairy Tail quickly turned back into the rowdy place it usually is. Having the pirates there was just making the day much more interesting.
"Hey there beautiful," a blonde guy in a suit, Sanji, said as he wrapped his arm around Lucy's shoulder. "My name is Sanji. How's it going?" Meanwhile Natsu was not too far away and saw the man wrap his arm around Lucy. He crossed his arms and waited to see what the man was going to do.
"Hi…. I'm Lucy…" Lucy said hesitantly and looked at Sanji's arm around her shoulders. "You're one of the pirates aren't you?"
"Yes, I'm from the Straw Hat crew," Sanji chuckled softly. "Don't worry I won't let these ruffians be inconsiderate to such a lovely lady as yourself."
"Thanks…" Lucy said awkwardly as she began to blush and began to feel a little uncomfortable. Natsu could see that Lucy was beginning to feel uncomfortable and would not standby any longer. He clenched his fist and charged toward Sanji and nailed him in the face launching him through a few tables.
"Leave Lucy alone you perv!" Natsu shouted at him.
None of the Straw Hats did anything because Luffy, Franky, Usopp, and Chopper were watching someone do cool magic tricks and were completely entranced by it. Meanwhile Zoro just held out his hand and Nami and Robin placed beli into his hand because of a bet they made on how long it would take Sanji to get hit for hitting on a girl.
Sanji got up quickly and glared at Natsu, "Some as brash as you should be hang around this pretty lady." He got out a cigarette, put in his mouth, and lit it. Sanji's entire body seemed to engulf in flames as he went to kick the hell out of Natsu "Hell Memories!"
This attack successfully engulfed Natsu in flames, and Sanji smirked after he finished the attack. Sanji's cigarette nearly fell out of his mouth when he saw Natsu swallow all the flames that his attack created. Zoro's, Nami's, and Robin's mouths nearly hit the floor when they saw this occur.
Natsu burped once he finished swallowing the flames. "Hmmm… They taste like sweaty feet with a hint of athlete's foot," Natsu said casually. "You may want to get that checked out," he said as he looked at Sanji again.
Lucy and Sanji both paused and had to take a double take of Natsu to process what he just said. Sanji took a long drag of his cigarette and then asked, "What?" While Lucy just shook her head and gave up on trying to understand. In the background Nami was rolling on the floor laughing her ass off.
"That better not be all you got," Natsu grinned since he was really ready to fight now.
Sanji gritted his teeth a little but accepted Natsu's challenge. "Alright, bring you numb skull!" Natsu and Sanji proceeded to fight while Lucy slinked away from the two of them.
When Lucy got away from those two, another of the Straw Hats approached her, but this one asked a little creepier of a question.
"May I see your panties?" the guy who was bones with clothes on and an afro, Brook, asked of Lucy when he approached her.
Before Lucy could say anything there was a bright shine of light and a guy could be heard saying: Regulas! A fist nailed Brook in the chin and launched him upward, through the ceiling. Once the light went away, Loke, aka Leo the Lion, could be seen standing there being the one who punched Brook. This time Nami was the one getting money from Zoro and Robin.
Lucy just rolled her eyes and looked back at Sanji and Natsu who were still squabbling. "Please stop fighting you two!" She said to no avail. Nami saw this and decided to come over and help Lucy out.
"Sanji, would you be dear and stop fighting?" Nami smirked as she asked since she knew he would stop if she asked him too.
"Of course Nami-san~!" Sanji said happily after he stopped fighting Natsu. Natsu thought about trying to engage him another fight but he felt Erza's presence behind him.
"That's awesome you were able to get them to stop," Lucy a she looked at Nami. "My name is Lucy Heartfilia. Nice to meet you."
"It wasn't hard at all," Nami giggled. "My name is Nami. Nice to meet you too!" Nami noticed Erza behind Natsu. "Who are the two boys who came to your aid? And who is that red haired woman behind the one who fought Sanji?"
"Oh, Natsu Dragneel is the one who fought Sanji, and Loke is the one who punched that skeleton guy. The red haired woman is Erza Scarlet who is easily one of the strongest wizards in Fairy Tail," Lucy replied smiling.
The Fairies and the pirates continued to mingle and have fun, while unbeknownst to them there was darkness brewing out in Fiore, and its impact could be devastating for everyone.
Author note: The next chapter will still have some sillyness in it but by the end of the chapter the serious plot will be in full swing.
