Holy crap this chapter fought me! But I finally got it out but I am in the middle of my study week for really important subjects. So no more updates soz for 3 weeks!
"Admiral Sengoku! Let's go!" Naruto yelled out as his crew bounded forwards. He drew and extended the Kusanagi; firing it straight at the legendary Admiral. The rest of the Ohara Pirates targeted the fleet of minions that accompanied the Admiral.
Aerith giggled and unsealed her rod before using her Limit Break: Seal Evil on the enemy Marines. Those few Marines with Haki were able to resist the Paralyze effect of Seal Evil; but no one was able to resist the Silence.
Aerith frowned for a few seconds at the Admiral's resistance to her Limit Break; before smiling when her mother Ifaina stepped up beside her. "I guess it's time to show them our true power, Mother." Aerith and Ifaina began synchronizing their staff and rod movements.
Ifaina got a tiny smile on her face; as her husband's battle lust began rubbing off on her. "Indeed; it's a mother's duty to educate these stupid children!" Ifaina began to unleash a pure white aura; whilst Aerith's was a light green.
Sengoku frowned at the obvious attack and yelled at his Marines to attack the duo. But no sound emerged from his mouth.
"IT'S TOO LATE!" Mother and daughter combined their magic and caused the wooden hull around them to crack and the ocean to rumble with their power.
"Unison Raid: Flowering World of Gaia!"
As if mirror images of each other; Aerith and Ifaina pointed their weapons at the enemy ships. When Ifaina's Ancient Life-force and Aerith's unique Flowering Mokuton combined; the masts of every ship exploded into pieces. These pieces grew leaves and roots; and within seconds it seemed as if a mangrove forest had emerged from within the enemy fleet.
Unlike Hashirama's jutsu, these trees were created via the Lifestream, and thanks to the blood of the Ancients; they could be weaponized with the Holy spell.
At the top of every mangrove tree, a white bud formed on every end. These buds glowed brightly before –
'Shit!' Sengoku realised the danger almost too late and covered his eyes.
– detonating; killing almost the entire fleet's worth of crew. Men and women were torn to pieces from the wooden shrapnel and those who were able to avoid it were blinded by the bright light of Holy. Those directly beneath the thin trunks were just incinerated as the sky turned white and the sea red.
What made it even more eerie was because of Aerith's Limit Break; there wasn't a single scream as they died.
The weakness of this Unison Raid was the simple fact that diving deep enough under water may save you from the shrapnel; hence Aerith's opening Seal Evil to paralyze them. Those with Haki were also able to either dodge or block the splinters.
At the start of the battle, Cana drew four Tower cards. Gathering her magic; she threw them to form four corners just outside of their ship; the Shinju. Forming the hand signs of one of the few proper jutsu Naruto had taught her; Cana announced her technique:
"Four Violet Flames Formation! Model: Tower!"
Each of the four Tower cards glowed purple before extending out a purple barrier. By using four Tower card as pillars for this technique; Cana was able to extend the barrier below the anchors. Not only that; but the Tower was a defensive card naturally; making the technique super-efficient.
A side effect of anchoring the jutsu with the cards was the formation of a pointed roof; making the entire barrier resemble a basic ethereal tower.
Cana stopped her hand signs once the spell/jutsu was complete and turned to a nearby black dome. "Raven you can let up your barrier! I have finished mine!"
When they came under attack; Raven did what any mother would do: protect her daughter. Throwing up a black barrier; Raven waited for Cana to complete her much larger barrier around the ship. Once she got the all clear; Raven released her daughter from the folds of her robes and took down her barrier.
"Go under the deck Shura," Raven told her daughter before turning away to examine the state of their enemies.
Shura cringed at that sentence even as she retreated. 'Somewhere, somehow; a sailor just died at the sound of that sentence. "Get below deck!" Is what a true sailor should say!'
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"
Vice Admiral Garp was also present in the fleet; and was enhancing his cannonballs with Haki before throwing them at Raven. Only for the cannonballs to turn black and speed right back at him!
Garp grinned and used Armament Haki to turn his arm black; before destroying the black cannonballs with punches and more cannonballs! He was about to throw some more cannonballs, (no one would ever call Garp a genius; as he was a firm believer of 'if at first you don't succeed; do the same thing again and again to be sure) only to be stopped by an armoured gauntlet; turned black by Armament Haki.
Erza Scarlet had taken the fight to the Vice Admiral; clothed in her normal Heart Kreuz Armour. And she was pissed!
"You hypocritical assholes! How dare you justify slavery!" Erza used Requip to bring forth Soul Calibur in a flash of light; and took a swing at Garp's throat.
"Yes!" Mavis spoke up from within the blade.
As Garp dodged the attack he had only one thought; 'Did that sword just talk?! I'll throw a cannonball at it; just to be sure…'
Naruto was busy hashing it out with Admiral Sengoku; who found himself unable to use his Golden Buddha on such an unstable platform surrounded by water. Never the less; Sengoku became Admiral without ever using his devil fruit abilities; something that only Fleet Admiral Kong and fellow Admiral 'Black Arm' Zephyr (whom never ate one) could boast about.
"Hahahahaha! Is this all you have? ADMIRAL SENGOKU!" Naruto brought down the Kusanagi sword at Sengoku's shoulder in an attempt to cut off his left arm.
The Admiral hardened his arm with Haki and attempted to deflect the blade. Only for it to begin to sink into his flesh –
'What!'
– Sengoku made his arm metal with the power of his devil fruit; and it combined with the Haki was the only reason he didn't lose his left arm. Naruto flipped away and withdrew the Kusanagi whilst also avoiding the retaliatory shockwave from Sengoku's now golden right arm. The shockwave continued on to crush the mangrove trees around them.
"Temper temper; what about your fellow crewmates? Although you seem to have no problem ordering the massacre of an entire island. Shame on you! I would totally not have done the same thing."
'I can't believe the bullshit I am spewing from my mouth…I have massacred planets. But I guess that is the privilege of been the strongest: I get to lie my ass off! And weaponise sarcasm!'
Sengoku finally seemed to understand what their Jolly Rodger stood for. "Ohara! A surviving member is the archaeologist of your crew?!" Sengoku became angrier and angrier; now turning both his arms gold; then black with Armament Haki.
"Chef actually. And you just lost this battle." Naruto fired the Kusanagi at the Admiral's centre-of-mass; which he guarded by crossing both arms; still black with Haki. Only this time Naruto kept on extending the blade far quicker and to a far greater length then he had shown before. Sengoku blocked the attack brilliantly; grounding himself like a sumo.
Only for the deck to splinter and break apart from the forces the Kusanagi released; and it continued to carry the Admiral further and further away. Until he was so far away; the blade extending multiple kilometres; that Naruto allowed him to drop. Whether the man lived or died; or if he even landed on dry land or water; was no longer his problem.
Naruto grinned as he spun around to watch the clash between his First Mate and the legendary Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp.
Erza was getting major Natsu vibes from this guy. Only instead of being a 'flame-brain' to quote Gray; this guy was a 'cannon-brain'.
On the other hand; Erza was very angry right now; and simply kept on attack straight through his banter.
"Haaaah!" Erza went for the horizontal cross chop; aiming Soul Calibur for Garp's neck.
"Hahahaha almost!" Showing his prowess with Observation Haki; Garp simply hopped back before dashing forwards. Every move, whilst looking simple, was expertly timed.
Erza swore before changing her armour in a flash of light. In a flash; it revealed Erza in her Purgatory armour; the dark knight-looking armour that increased her strength when worn. To complete the look; Erza focused and channelled her Armament Haki over the entirety of Soul Calibur; turning it black. Grinning at the no longer smiling Vice Admiral; Erza used both hands to unleash a slice using her full power with this armour.
The air pressure slice levelled all the mangrove trees around them as it sped towards Garp. Garp usually would grin and block the attack; but his Observation Haki was screaming at him that he would lose both arms.
So he jumped; just barely dodging Erza's slash. Only for a swarm of black bladed tentacles to reach out; and tear away part of his left shoulder. Raven had entered the fray; her four eyes glowing red and Majin symbol crackling with pink lightning on her neck.
'Shadow magic? No; Takeover?' Erza was surprised and feeling a little nostalgic at fighting with a Demon Takeover mage again. The black shadows crawling out of her cape contrasted heavily with Raven's pure white robe. They made quite the pair; a dark knight and a demon.
Suddenly there was a massive explosion; which took the form of a grinning smiley face made of fire; which finally began sinking the other ships. Azuma had finally completed the preparations for his strongest attacks.
Garp finally stopped grinning as he saw the utter destruction of the Marines around him. He actually scowled when Naruto landed in front of the girls, smiling and apparently uninjured.
"Where is Sengoku?" Garp cracked his knuckles at Naruto; apparently tough enough to ignore his injured shoulder.
Naruto grinned, "He is probably…not ok." Naruto held up his right hand at Garp. "Vanish."
"Limbo: Border Jail." An invisible Shadow Naruto was created; which blasted forwards and tackled Garp out of the area; sending him far away into the air.
Naruto smiled at both his wife and girlfriend; before revealing a multitude of Hiraishin Kunai. "Time to clean this mess up."
Sephiroth, Kagura and Ikaruga were currently engaged in battle with the middle-aged God of Skypiea; a mounted knight named Gan Fall. The old knight was incredibly experienced; a Hiruzen Sarutobi of his time. But he was sadly outmatched against Sephiroth; whom had the ability to fly using his Aera magic and had a perfect body brimming with Jenova cells.
"Ahhh; what are they feeding the youth of today?" Gan sat on top of his trusty steed Pierre; a bird that ate the Horse Horse fruit and became a Pegasus. He was also currently being knocked around the sky from Sephiroth swinging his sword Masamune.
"Fall." Kagura said emotionlessly from the ground, before increasing the gravity around the flying mount. The pair collapsed like house of cards; falling down to the ground in front of Kagura. However; instead of the gravity mage engaging the old knight, Ikaruga stepped up and drew her katana.
Twenty minutes later…
"Iron Cloud…Would your father mind commissioning me a named Magic Katana using that material; Sephiroth-sensei? I don't have a powerful named weapon like your Masamune or Kagura's Nemesis. As a primary user of Sword Magic this cannot continue."
The trio were enjoying some pumpkin juice with a beat up Gan Fall; whom had told them a bit about Skypiea's history and forging techniques over a couple of drinks.
"I'll send him a message; but we should probably gather the material first before sending it to him along with the request."
Sephiroth finished his drink and stood up; with both girls following his action. As one they all bowed at Gan Fall; thanking him for the meal and information.
"It's alright youngsters. But what are you going to do now?" Gan was still treating his own bruises; both to his body and ego.
Sephiroth smirked and began walking away. Turning back to the old man; Sephiroth announced, "As the new God of Skypiea; it is only right to explore my domain."
For some reason, assuming godhood of a nation seemed to come easily to him. Sephiroth wondered why…
Rosso grinned as she observed her father's latest creation. Although she had no idea who this Kisame person was; she was intrigued with her father's obsession with recreating the man. The Kisame of this world was three-quarters Fishman; specifically a Great White Shark Fishman taken from a young child named Hody Jones. His one-quarter human DNA was actually that of Bartholomew Kuma; which would allow Kisame to reach a far greater size then a normal Fishman.
Kisame was currently five years old but was grown in a vat over the course of six months; utilising the same techniques that allowed Kabuto to clone and improve Manda.
Her father would soon arrive to implant memories and suggestions in the child via the Sharingan; before releasing him into the Fishman District. As a three-quarters fishman; Kisame lacked the webbed fingers and toes of the full-blooded Fishmen; along with any sort of fins. On the other hand Kisame had a pair of working gills and had been modified over the course of his development to maximise his strength.
Although Rosso didn't know the full extent of her father's plan; she figured he maybe wanted someone to learn Fishman Karate for him. For all she knew; this person was a throwaway body; someone who was created to learn a specific set of skills before being absorbed by her father. Although she doubted it.
Flare and Genesis were currently hunting down weak pirates that were native to the Grand Line; yet never had to make the tough journey to get there. Like the previous incarnations of Akatsuki; they were currently in the resource gathering phase.
'And we get to wear these sweet uniforms!' Rosso smiled whilst turning around; showing her Akatsuki uniform to an invisible crowd.
"Why are you spinning, Rosso?" Naruto tilted his head to the side as he observed his daughter.
"DAD! Just…forget about that…for me…please?" Rosso clapped her hands together and tried the puppy-dog pout at her father.
Naruto laughed, "Sure thing; Little Rosso." Naruto ruffled her hair like she was a little girl again.
"DAD!"
Six months later…
"Mr Yakushi? Come with us please…" A group of marines with science lab coats surrounded the young up-and-coming scientist. Indeed this meeting had occurred barely a week after he had published his 'discovery' of the Blood Replenishing Pill in the local science magazines and newspapers.
Kabuto wordlessly nodded and followed them back to their ship.
'Jackpot!'
Kisame couldn't stop smiling as he had finally left that hellhole of a district and signed up for the Fishman Karate Dojo. He had survived in that hellhole all his life; although the time before six months ago had a bit of a dreamlike quality. Kisame hoped that he hadn't gotten some sort of brain damage from his early years due to being part human; although he was pretty sure that it was the case.
He was completely unaware that this reasonable explanation was a fantasy created by Naruto; although it wasn't much of one when reality reinforces it. There was a very high chance that young half-breeds would be beaten to death in that district after all. Kisame had the scars to prove it.
Kisame saw one of the surface newspapers flying around and snatched it from the air.
"Pirate King Gold Rodger executed…Whitebeard declared strongest man in the world…Where the hell are some famous Fishmen?!"
Kisame grumbled childishly before declaring himself to be the future strongest Fishman! He never noticed the dispelling smoke of a snake summon; nor the fact that his eyes briefly turned into the Sharingan as the next set of instructions were unlocked. What no one could have predicted was the events that would go down in Fishman history over the course of the next decade. Because in less then a decade's time; Fisher Tiger would break out of slavery to the Celestial Dragons.
Later on the man would lead a slave revolt and burn the Holy City of Mariejois to the ground. The rise of Fisher Tiger; and later the First Prince of the Sea, Jinbe; would provide Kisame with all the motivation he would need.
Naruto grinned as he looked at his pirate wife Cana; dressed in a black wedding dress with a comical black Tricorne on her head. She looked four-parts sexy with her black lace, full-arm gloves. Four-parts sexy and one-part silly with the Tricorne taking the place of the wedding veil.
On the front of the hat was a symbol of the Ohara Pirates; and the wedding was witnessed by the entire crew. Erza was actually dressed in her own wedding outfit from years ago: a proper frilly wedding gown; except hers was a light pink; playing on the Fairy Armour theme. Erza even had the matching feathered tiara, to go along with the wedding gown, and of course; wore her Magnolia flower in her hair. It was the first gift Naruto had given her.
"Do I, myself, take Cana to be my wench? I do…" Naruto grinned as he looked at Cana; a clone acting as a priest.
"And do you, Cana Alberona, take me; Captain, Naruto Uzumaki; as your husband?" Naruto cupped her cheek and looked deep into her eyes; which were shining with mischief and happiness.
Cana grinned, "I do…"
Naruto laughed, "I will now kiss the wench…"
Their lips met…
Cana and Erza lemon next chapter. Exams now... Read and Review; tell me what you thought! Next chapter we will move on to the cannon time period.
