New Bounties, More Chaos

It had been about two days since we left Fishman Island and I already wish we hadn't. McGonagall told us when we got back that there was some dance on the day of something called Christmas which is something we don't have in our world. She said that champions have to open up the dance. Normally I'd ignore something like this but it seems like it'll be a good thing for the men who want to do it. I told the commanders to gather up those who want to go from each of their divisions and I'll send them all separately to get the necessary items for the dance. We're pirates fancying ourselves up has never been our thing. We're not Cavendish when he's not bat shit crazy.

I was about to take a nap on the deck when my communications officer ran into the room. "Boss I just got the news, it's incredible your bounty got raised." That gathered everyone's attention as they never raise my bounty, just made me assume that they did what they do for the warlords and froze it. My eyes widen to the size to the size of a giant's wine glass.

Space Man Harry
Bounty:
2,000,000,000

Ignoring for the moment that they'd increased my bounty by over three times I looked at the article under it.

Cipher Pol Destroyed

During an attempt to seize Fishman Island from the control of one of the emperors and the Pirate King, a chain reaction was caused and every agent who was a part of Cipher Pol was destroyed. If anyone has any information as to the whereabouts of the Space Man Pirates please report it to the World Government.

The Gorosei must've gone over Sakazuki's head if they put something like this out. This is a surprise that they admit to the fact that they tried to takeover. I warned the foolish fleet admiral but as usual he completely ignored me when another picture catches my eye.

"Well I'll be. Dobby."

"What can I do for you master?"

"Bring me Luna she's never gonna believe this." As Dobby went to go fetch her I take a look at the picture. They must've had our snails tapped if they had her name.

Guardian Luna
Bounty:
25,000,000

"Oh my this is quite a surprise. I can't believe I already have my first bounty. First time out and I'm a wanted woman."

"Sorry about this Luna I forgot to warn you. Navy's been hot on our tail for months. They've been taking every chance they can get to discredit us. If you want I can talk to the captain. He has connections with one of the admirals."

"No I'm fine, I knew the risk when I joined and I was ready for it. I may be a criminal for the rest of my life in another world but that doesn't mean I regret anything." I smile at her charisma, she'll make a wonderful division commander someday.

"I'm glad you see it that way. I must say though those marines are getting old when it comes to their epithets." To be honest though it makes sense that they gave her a name like that considering the report I received. She always had everyone's back. She might have a potential as a sniper. At least I was able to accomplish one thing though. The reason I had Nami and her group back up the fishmen is because her feud with Arlong has gone on long enough. She has every right to be mad at her but still, after everything that's happened over these last couple of years this feud has gone on long enough.

After that battle I think I'll work on being nicer to people. I needed it to blow off some steam. "Come on Luna let's go to breakfast in the Great Hall. I managed to convinced Dobby to get the elves to allow my head chef to cook food for us. He knows how to cater to our specific needs so tomorrow he can make whatever you request. Since we're such a large group we have a system for these kinds of things."

When we walked into the Great Hall it was to an unnatural silence, which in an essence is really saying something. Hermione walked up to me and handed me the paper. I smirk as I see that's my orders were fully carried out. In order to really show people the power of my influence I set up a inter-dimensional connection.

I bring my hand up as I see Hermione about to slap me. And I grab her wrist, without putting too much pressure on her wrist as I understand her feelings. "How could you bring Luna into your mess? These are problems in your world so why did you bring her. She's a thirteen year old girl. What'll you do if something really bad happens to her on your watch?"

"Chill out Hermione, she was in no danger. She was keeping support for my men. Besides she's the one who asked to join my crew. I may not have known her reasons exactly but if she's ever in any life threatening danger, then I'd help her to the best of my abilities. Which as that paper tells you is quite extensive."

"But still, you eliminated an entire government organization."

"Hermione did you read past the wanted poster and the headline. Look let me explain, Cipher Pol is an intelligence gathering organization that's been after me for years. The person who's at the head of their strongest branch made a threat against the island my fiance happens to be crowned princess of. If I didn't do anything then they would've died and I couldn't leave that on my conscience."

I walked over to the Hufflepuff table, with Luna joining me, and while a few were a bit nervous at first there were others who were brave enough to join us.

As the food magically appears and I dig into my noticeably different meal than the others because of what I'd explained to Luna earlier that morning, I hear the distinct and familiar sound of a gun firing.

"You damn bitch. How dare you attack me." Lilith Bristol, the Exception. Always has my back when I need it.

"Really dungeon bat. Try to attack me while my back was turned. What's the excuse this time, I know you read the paper so to try and look like a hero you tried to attack me and call the aurors. No honor among thieves eh. Oh yes I know about your past, the paper you read shows what type of person I am. My bounty is no lie. I'm the strongest person in my world. After I took down Blackbeard and used a technique I'd recently developed at that time I stole his powers, after I kicked his ass of course."

"Those government guys I beat, they're no better than the Death Eaters. They're relentless attacks were getting too out of hand, and the deliberate attack on my fiance's home was a way to draw me out. I warned their boss, the Fleet Admiral, numerous times in fact but he never listens. My generation calls him the Mad Dog. Keep your dog on a leash Dumbledore."

After ignoring the mutterings of the bat I turn back to my housemates who I was conversing with earlier. I told them about one of the people from my generation. Capone "Furnace" Pez. Son of Capone Bege and Charlotte Chiffon. Even before I took down his grandmother we were bitter rivals but at the same time good friends. Pretty much the pirate version of frenemies.

"Wait, you're joking."

"Nope he's literally a furnace human, hence his moniker. He ate the Smelt Smelt Fruit. Like mine it's of the miscellaneous fruit class. Speaking of fruits, me and my men have a collection of them in the vault on our ship. Pez and I fight a lot but sometimes we're allies, heck he even thanked me for taking down his grandmother and take away the biggest danger their family has ever had to deal with. Her Devil Fruit. She once killed her own son because she went on a hunger crazed rampage and wouldn't wait a half hour."

"How'd you manage to beat her?"

"It wasn't easy I'll tell you that. It took everything we had and then some to take her down. Unfortunately she's not dead but will be a vegetable for the rest of her life. After the fall of the Charlotte family I took her territory. Strange place even before she showed up. It's part of an archipelago inside of Whole Cake Island. Seeing how fierce the battle was I became the king as Big Mom was the queen."

"Why're you listening to that damn liar for. Obviously that stuff is fake." Malfoy the persistent moron spouted his usually nonsense.

"Really after everything that's happened and you personally witnessed you still doubt that. Times like this I wish I could just give you a useless devil fruit then shove you in a lake. Those wanted posters are no joke. I have the highest bounty in the world. Luna earned hers with her tenacious courage." Seeing that he was gonna lose this argument he walked away.

"Wow you are good. Never seen Malfoy back down so quickly."

"Even if he hadn't he never could've beaten me with that primitive tool that you all use."

"What are you talking about?" Suddenly on the defensive as he realizes they've been insulted.

"He means our wands. I've seen what he can do without one and frankly he's right. His men told me that they've been to countless dimensions and most of the ones with magic don't use wands at all. The use of a wand is pretty much moot. Usually other magical conductors would work like a lamp but the aspect of a wooden wand itself is practically dead."

"They just stared in shock at that. "If you don't believe me, ask the headmaster."

Everyone got a confused look as I said that. "What are you talking about Mr. Monkey I'm right here."

"Sorry Dumbledore, I didn't mean you. I meant him." That made them even more confused until a strange man with grey hair and red eyes burst from the floor. "I was summoned so here I am."

Everyone stood stock still at the sight of the strange looking man. "Everyone this is one of my associates the Headmaster of Royal Biblia Academy, taught me what I know about grimoire magic. He's a Paladin level mage although if he fights a girl he's completely useless."

"Tricked by a blonde one time and no one let's you forget it."

"Old friend she tried to kill you."

"Still. Anyways as my apprentice told you, using wands is not very common. Other forms of using magic such as hands or less if need be has come about. But I admit there are some societies which use it but not as a whole. Let's say you know two siblings. One uses a wand while the other uses a bracelet. We all have our way of casting but to make everyone do it the same is almost like blasphemy."

"Precisely. Also don't ask me why he appeared out of the ground, I couldn't tell you if I tried." With that he disappeared. "Luna this is the type of magic I was telling you about. Magic conduits come in all shapes and sizes. I mostly use hand magic myself but there are times when either doing a big spell or being flashy using a conduit can be very useful."

"You sound like you have one. But your men tell me that the only one you use is stored inside your grimoire. But even then you don't use it much."

"Well after the battle of Fishman Island I decided it's time to step up my game and it's all about to change. And just because I said that doesn't mean I'll be using a wand."

"Then what are you going to use?" said Cedric confusedly worried.

"No need to worry Cedric. Anyone who wants to know what I mean, meet me outside now." With a snap of my fingers me and Luna along with my men vanished outside.

"Looks like we're about to find out."

"Captain are you really certain you don't have Nargles in your ears. By revealing your item you'll be playing your hand too quickly."

"Luna, a strange little girl, even more than you no offence. She said to take risks if you really want to live and thrive. Of course I'm paraphrasing a bit but that still applies."

"Fine." She pouts a bit which from what Lilith has told me when she's trying to swindle someone out of a sweet which she uses on pushovers when they don't believe her.

"Not going to work Luna you can't swindle a pirate." As I said that the other students finally show up.

"Finally I was getting bored of waiting. Now I know why Kuzan is so lazy when it comes to standing." I say as I sit under the tree as all the standing around has made me sleepy.

"Now then watch and pay attention as I'm only going to do this once then take my morning nap. Three days of partying with rowdy pirates with non alcoholic drinks has given me a massive headache." I take out the staff which I shrunk to the size of a pen before we left as I knew that something like this would come up sooner or later so I didn't want any confusion.

I grasp the hilt of my wand and push my magic through it and after pulsating a bit it elongated to its original full length form which was just a head taller than I was.

"Isn't that?"
"Merlin's staff."

"So that's who this belongs to. I didn't really pay much attention to the owner's name. Once I saw it was ancient and powerful I knew I had to have it. And before you ask yes that was us that robbed Gringotts and burned the ministry of magic to the ground."

They gasped in complete shock because even though we were pirates they didn't think we were capable of pulling something of that magnitude off and honestly I don't blame them.

"Wait a minute why did you tell us that? What's to stop us from calling the aurors. You bl-" Before Malfoy or his cronies could finish they found themselves incapable of speech courtesy of Luna.

"I'd rather appreciate it if you didn't disrespect my captain." Noted Luna has a fiery temper when she wants to.

"Because this staff completely channels all my spell energy. For example this little macro I whipped up the week after I got here. Rune of Primordial Chaos." The dragon head on top of the staff and a rune made of flame flashed into life. Glowed brightly for a few seconds and appeared over the entire castle before disappearing.

"Luna would you mind explaining what just happened."

"Gladly. That rune is a seal to make sure that this information doesn't get out in any way, shape or form. It's a seal rune which causes whomever tries to reveal the information it's sealing to get out to experience strange and somewhat childish events to occur. For example." What happens next reminds me to throw Lilith into the lake. I thought I told her no mind control lessons, yet.

"Wait until my father hears that you fools stole the sta-" before the snake trio could finish they turned into chickens and started running around like they were being chased.

"That is only a small taste of what happens. The feedback energy feeds into the spell and the more it happens, the worse the spell is."

With a tap on the staff on the ground we vanished again and reappeared on the ship.

"I thought cursing an entire school would make it so I wouldn't have to deal with all the people trying to get a date. Nana I'm really starting to hate it here. You're lucky you don't have to attend." Spoiled brat.

"Aren't you supposed to be in class."

"Touche. But we both I'd rather be on the run from then play with sticks. Still I've had to do more running in a week than I had to do in a month at sea."

"That's why I stay up here. Too much testosterone for me."

"Then a pirate ship is the last place to be if you want to avoid that. Oh that reminds me I finally got the list for the shopping groups." Before I could look at it the alarm goes off. "Oh you've got to be kidding me. You're coming with me. Tell the men to provide aerial cover. Hermione can you hear me." After a few seconds I finally got through to her.

"What is it Harry?"

"Get the alliance, we've got another one."

"Well sis you finally get to go to school."

"Not funny." I teleport us down as it'll take a few minutes before the alliance can get to the location.

As we see who it is we get really surprised. "Oh you got to be kidding me."
