A.N: Whew, okay, I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty concerned as to whether I was gonna be able to get this out. College professors are really piling on the workload now that we're so close to the end of the year. Well, enough about me, here's what's been happening in the world of anime and manga. Although, really, since One Piece and Bleach did not get a new chapter this week, it's really just Fairy Tail.
*Spoiler Alert*
Fairy Tail: Did Mashima and Kubo switch bodies this week or something? Or was it Mashima and Kishimoto? I cannot believe we got trolled like that! So Gray was never with Avatar, but rather he's undercover and working with Erza. Well, regardless of how mad I am that we all got trolled, it's good to see Team Natsu reunited. Now it's time to kick some Avatar ass.
*End Spoiler*
You know, I can't believe I didn't realize this until later, but we've actually passed the one year anniversary of this story. It's been over a year since I've started on this thing and I have to say, I never could've imagined I'd get this kind of response.
Good to see that the omake was well received. That certainly is encouraging going forward.
On a different note, we have reached yet another milestone. 900 reviews. Once again, I would like to say that it is you guys that make this possible, and that your support has been what has driven me to produce the best work I can on a near-weekly basis. You guys are the best!
Now than, onto the chapter. Enjoy!
Chapter 48: The Battle of Clover Town, What Lies Ahead
Check as many times as you feel necessary. That was the one rule when it came to creating a brand new spell. He found himself remembering that golden rule of magic creation as he put the finishing touches on his new spell. He smiled in satisfaction, everything looked good to him, hopefully the spell would be a success after breaking it out in the field.
Zeref the Black Wizard closed the scroll he had been writing his notes in. Everything was indeed satisfactory. Now all he had to do was wait patiently for the moment he could use it. While he certainly wished that it was a spell that could wipe out the Alliance in one fell swoop, such a spell would take years to design, even for him. That being said, a spell like this would eventually lead to their destruction.
Our story is coming to an end soon. Zeref thought darkly.
"Lord Zeref!" A member of a small cult that worshipped Zeref ran into his chambers.
"What is it?" He inquired.
"My lord, as instructed, we have received word that an Act of Order has entered the battlefield."
Zeref seemed happy to hear this. "Oh? Who is it this time?"
"Straw Hat Luffy, my lord."
This got Zeref's attention. "I see, keep me updated. I want to know everything about him, his power, and what he does during the battle."
Zeref had been busy since the war had begun. He had ordered his cultists to keep a lookout for the Acts of Order and to gather information on them, be it in the middle of the fight, or afterwards. He knew everything about them and what they had been through. He knew that Ichigo Kurosaki had fought the Oración Seis wizard known as Midnight. He knew that Natsu Dragneel had singlehandedly decimated Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez Fracciónes before losing to Grimmjow himself. That had disappointed Zeref greatly, as he had long been interested in Natsu's growth. Reports had stated that Natsu was dead, but Zeref knew better than that. And, he knew that Naruto Uzumaki had faced off against Vice Admiral Smoker, Riruka Dokugamine, and even a fragment of Konton's mind.
Now, to hear that Straw Hat Luffy had entered the battlefield was quite pleasing. Soon, Zeref would have a good idea as to where each of the Acts of Order were in terms of growth. So far, however, he was generally disappointed.
"Ichigo Kurosaki," Zeref summoned the three scrolls that contained the information on each of the Acts of Order he had so far, "his raw power is incredible. However, his lack of versatility weakens him greatly. His refusal to expand such power represents the arrogance of humanity."
"Naruto Uzumaki," Zeref continued, "probably the most impressive report so far. To face a Fullbringer, Vice Admiral, and even Konton himself in rapid succession is impressive and speaks volumes of his stamina. However, he couldn't even defeat a mere fragment of Konton's mind. His failure to do so represents the weakness of humanity."
"Monkey D. Luffy," Zeref sighed, "I don't know much about this one. However, my comrades from the Pirate World have referred to him as a wildcard to the highest degree. Such actions represent the foolishness of humanity."
"All three of these men represent a part of humanity that I cannot stand." Zeref noted.
"Then there is you, Natsu, or should I say E.N.D., my strongest creation." Zeref frowned. "You continue to disappoint me, Natsu. You couldn't even defeat the Sixth Espada in battle."
Zeref sighed. "I've given you so many chances to overtake me and yet you continue to fall short of what I had once desired. Knowing how weak you are, compared to what you were over 400 years ago when you fought Igneel infuriates me to no end."
"And then there are your fellow Acts," Zeref continued, "humans who were fortunate enough to gain power to cover up their pathetic deficiencies."
"I am not happy, Natsu." Zeref admitted. "Not happy that you, my greatest success, are on the same level as three pathetic humans who hide behind power."
Zeref swiped his hand and the three scrolls vanished. He looked down at the scroll that contained his new spell. "I'm losing my patience," he said, "ever since I have permanently erased the value of life from my mind, my patience is at an all-time low."
"Every moment I spend in this war angers me more and more. The Alliance, along with humanity itself, had no good reason to reject us. Their arrogance, foolishness, and weakness is what keeps them from seeing the truth, and it infuriates me to no end."
A dark aura comprised of Zeref's massive power started to surround the Black Wizard. Zeref then took a deep breath as he managed to calm himself down, not wanting to unleash his power inside of his headquarters. "Just a bit longer," he said, "I will wait just a bit longer. And if these farces continue; if I am forced to hear more of the arrogance, foolishness, and weakness of this Alliance; if you continue to disappoint me, Natsu…"
A dark look made its way onto Zeref's face. "…I will be forced to take action."
(On the mountains)
"Hey, look!" Lisanna Strauss pointed at the fireball being shot into the sky. "I think that's the signal."
Don Sai grinned. "Well, I'll be damned, things are going our way so far."
Don Chinjao raised his fist into the air. "Charge!" He yelled. "Our commander has given the order!"
Levy McGarden pouted. "Gajeel got lucky." She muttered. "He is so lucky things went in our favor the minute he decided to disobey orders."
"I think you need to move on." Boo sweat-dropped.
"I will do no such thing, he needs to behave himself!" Levy yelled.
Before any arguments could escalate, Chinjao cut them all off. "Everyone move!
With that, the other half of the Second Division came charging out of the trees and down the mountains.
(Back at Clover)
Several exhausted and injured Coalition Soldiers on the rooftops saw the charging soldiers from the mountains. A Marine screamed in horror at the sight. "More Alliance soldiers from the mountains! Dammit, we are outnumbered now!"
Sabo grinned at the sight. "Things are going exactly as we want them to."
Marco landed next to him. "Except for the whole you getting taken control of part, right?" He inquired playfully.
"Screw you, man!" Sabo yelled comically.
"There are still a few stragglers here, Commander Sabo." Hiashi Hyūga pointed out.
"That may be, father," Hinata interjected, "but my Byakugan can see three others coming towards us. At a much faster rate than the others, too. I think they actually came early, like Luffy."
Sabo glared at Luffy. "Well, Luffy, did you drag anyone along your shenanigans?"
Luffy stuck his tongue out at Sabo. "No!"
Sabo sighed and looked at Hinata. "How many, Hinata?" He asked.
"Three," she said, "they all possess Magic Energy. Two of the three have immense Magic Energy."
Sabo sighed in annoyance. "That's definitely Gajeel and Rogue. Dragon Slayers naturally have immense reserves of Magic within them. And if Gajeel is there, then Pantherlily must be with them too."
Sabo turned back to Clover. "We can count on those three to mop up what's left out here. The rest of us should focus on taking this town."
"You sure about that?" Marco inquired.
"Those three are strong, they can take care of themselves." Sabo said with certainty. "We need to focus on taking this town before the Coalition regroups."
Sabo looked at Hiashi. "Is there anything your Byakugan can tell us?"
Hiashi nodded and looked into the town. "The enemy is currently attempting to gather up and form lines of defense."
Hiashi's eyes widened. "There seems to be strange objects hidden underneath the streets. They look like…pipes."
"Pipes?" Sabo frowned
"Chemical warfare?" Marco suggested.
Sabo narrowed his eyes. "That's a possibility. Well, we still need to move into the city."
Sabo turned to Marco. "Marco, we're staying airborne with the Soul Reapers." He ordered him.
Sabo looked at Luffy, Hinata, and Hiashi. "Move through the town. At the first sign of danger, get to the rooftops. We don't know what those pipes can do. But if I had to wager a guess, I'd say the control room is either somewhere in this town, or the man controlling it is nearby as well."
"I get it, and you want us to keep an eye open for him?" Hiashi inquired.
"That's right." Sabo nodded. "Coalition's got plenty of mad scientists running around. If you see any of them, take them out. Not just because they've probably got the controller for whatever this trap is, but because they are a major threat to us."
Hiashi had to agree with that. He did live in the village that had produced the Ninja World's resident mad scientist, Orochimaru.
"Alright, let's get moving than." Sabo said.
(With Kuro)
Kuro pushed his glasses up as he glared at the Allied Forces preparing to charge into Clover. "They underestimate us." He muttered angrily, getting into his 'pouncing' stance. "I, Kuro of a Thousand Plans, will not stand for that."
"I'm going to destroy every single one of them." Kuro vowed. "Out of the Bag…"
"Iron Dragon Club!" A voice yelled.
Kuro cried out in pain as a club suddenly slammed into his back, sending him flying forward. Kuro growled and hissed in anger like an actual cat as he turned to his assailant.
Gajeel Redfox grinned at the cat-man. "Yo, so which one are you? Devil Fruit user or Arrancar?" He inquired.
"Neither," he said, "I am a demon, formerly a human."
Gajeel narrowed his eyes at this. Rogue Cheney and Pantherlily soon joined them. "So, you chose to become a demon?" He asked. "Lacking in brains, eh Four-eyes?"
Kuro glared at Gajeel. "You dare insult my intelligence? I am one of the most intelligent men alive."
"And yet you willingly threw away your humanity and threw your lot in with a guild like Tartarus, huh? How exactly does that make you smart?" Gajeel taunted.
"Gajeel, you shouldn't engage in small talk with him." Rogue told him. "We need to take him down!"
"Rogue's right, Gajeel, we need to beat this guy quick and then form up with the others." Pantherlily added.
Gajeel grinned. "If you guys want to get things done so quickly, than go right ahead, but leave me be with this loser."
Rogue looked at Gajeel in surprise. "What, are you insane? We can take him out faster together."
"2nd Division is already moving into town and if we combine our power against this guy we'd just be wasting manpower." Gajeel reasoned.
Kuro frowned at this. Wasting? He repeated.
Pantherlily looked at Gajeel. "Are you sure about this?" He asked.
Gajeel's grin widened. "Don't worry about me, I'll be more than enough for a loser like this." He assured his close friend.
Pantherlily nodded and transformed into his smaller cat form. "Rogue, let's go." He said, sprouting wings out of his bag.
Before Rogue could say anything, Pantherlily lifted him into the air and flew above Kuro. Kuro frowned at this. "Damn," he muttered.
"Hey Four-eyed Fur-ball!" Gajeel yelled. "You're fights with me!"
"So, keep your eyes on me or I'll knock those dumb glasses off!" Gajeel continued. "Iron Dragon Roar!"
Kuro quickly vanished and dodged the attack. Gajeel managed to keep up with Kuro's movements. Kuro appeared at his side and slashed at him, only for Gajeel to block with his Iron Dragon Sword.
Kuro frowned at Gajeel. "How can trash like you keep up with my Speed Curse?"
"I'm a Dragon Slayer, our senses have been enhanced." Gajeel explained. "And you want to know what's sad, Fuzzy, you may be fast, but you are definitely not the fastest guy I've ever gone up against thanks to these senses of mine. Laxus is faster than you when he uses the full speed from his Lightning Body.
Kuro growled at this. "So, I'm too slow for you, is that it?"
"Well, I don't want to be mean about it, but yeah, that's exactly it." Gajeel grinned.
Kuro hissed in anger and started slashing at Gajeel, who parried and blocked each attack his sword. Kuro then kicked Gajeel in the chest and knocked him backwards. Gajeel managed to recover and then raised his leg into the air.
"Iron Dragon Spear!" Gajeel transformed his leg into a spear and extended it towards Kuro.
Kuro dodged the attack and charged Gajeel again with his Speed Curse. Kuro slashed at Gajeel again, only for him to block with his sword once more. Kuro attempted to cleave Gajeel's head with his free claw, only for Gajeel to counter. "Iron Dragon Club!" Gajeel slammed his club into Kuro's chest, knocking him away.
Kuro landed on his feet, dug into the ground, and leapt at Gajeel once again. Gajeel blocked both claws with two Iron Dragon Swords. He then transformed his foot into a blade and kicked upwards at Kuro's face.
Kuro tried to move his head back, but was cut across the cheek. Gajeel then knocked Kuro's claws away and transformed his elbow into a blade and stabbed Kuro in the stomach. Kuro gasped in pain as the blade dug into his stomach. He quickly sped back while Gajeel went onto the offensive.
"Iron Dragon Roar!"
Kuro managed to dodge the attack. Gajeel managed to follow Kuro's movements again and aimed his arm at the Captain of the Black Cat Pirates.
"Iron Dragon Lance: Demon Logs!"
Gajeel fired several spears at Kuro. Kuro sped through the volley of spears and appeared in front of Gajeel. Gajeel ducked under the slash.
"Iron Dragon Sword!"
Kuro quickly countered by using his legs to push himself off of Gajeel, who gasped in surprise as he was knocked backwards by the force of Kuro propelling himself away. He managed to land on his feet.
Gajeel aimed his arm at Kuro again and fired more Demon Logs at Kuro who once again dodged the attack. Kuro appeared several feet from Gajeel's side. He glared at the Iron Dragon Slayer.
"You really can keep up with my movements." Kuro noted.
And he's probably not even trying, too. Kuro added mentally.
"Did you think I was talking out of my ass, Fur-ball?" Gajeel grinned.
Kuro surprised Gajeel by chuckling. "Fine than, I was hoping to not have to use my highest speed, but you are clearly a stubborn one."
Gajeel kept grinning. Inwardly, however, he was annoyed with his opponent. Geez, this guy is annoying. He thought. He's not even enough of a challenge to back up all that talk. I wonder if Ryos and Lily have found someone worth fighting yet.
"Since you are clearly downplaying my improved power, than I will clearly have to show you the full extent of it."
Kuro prepared to pounce. Gajeel frowned and remained in place. "Out of the Bag Attack!" Kuro yelled.
Kuro completely vanished from sight. Gajeel sighed in annoyance and remained in place as Kuro attempted to cut him down. Gajeel patiently waited for Kuro to either finish, or for him to catch up with the demon-man's movements.
Eventually, Kuro ended his attack right behind Gajeel. Kuro chuckled darkly at his success. "How was that, was that too fast for you to keep up with?"
Kuro suddenly heard the sound of something shatter. Pain then shot through his arms. Kuro cried out in pain as his claws completely shattered.
Kuro looked at his now declawed hands in shock. "My claws?!" Kuro was stunned. "But how? How did you…"
Kuro loked at Gajeel and gasped in surprise. "Iron Dragon Scales." Gajeel was revealed to have covered himself in iron scales.
Gajeel sighed. "Elfman will never let me live down using this strategy." He mused, remembering how Elfman did practically the same thing in the Grand Magic Games.
Kuro furiously glared at Gajeel. "How dare you?! This ruins everything for me! My plans cannot fail! They cannot! These claws were important to my plans! I will not let some dragon brat ruin my plans like that damn rubber brat did! I…"
"Iron Dragon Hard Fist!" Gajeel slammed his scale-clad fist into Kuro's face, flooring him instantly.
Kuro was immediately rendered unconscious. Gajeel pulled his fist back, revealing that he had hit Kuro so hard, he had actually left an indent of his fist in his face.
Gajeel scoffed at his opponent. "I don't know how strong you were before you became a demon, but you are still nowhere near the strength of the Fairy Tail Guild." He said, scales fading.
"I've taken out full-blooded demons, pal, you're nowhere near my level."
"Hey, Gajeel!"
Gajeel cried out in surprise as he was suddenly smacked upside the head. "Where do you get off disobeying orders like that, huh?" Levy McGarden yelled in anger.
"OWW, what the hell was that for Shrimp?!" Gajeel yelled angrily.
"I did that because you're an idiot!" Levy smacked Gajeel again.
Jet and Droy grinned sadistically at Gajeel's pain. "Excellent," they said in unison.
Boo laughed as several Alliance Soldiers took to mopping up the remaining stragglers, who were quickly surrendering, knowing that they were trapped between practically two advancing armies; one that was already in the town, and another on its way inside.
Sai, however, was not amused. "You know, perhaps you two should continue your lover's quarrel when we're finished here?"
"We are not a couple!" Gajeel and Levy viciously denied.
Still, Gajeel thought, Sai is right.
Gajeel took one last look at Kuro's defeated form. This guy may have been weak, but something tell's me he's only an appetizer. Who knows what's up ahead.
(Meanwhile)
Aaroniero Arurruerie groaned in pain as he dusted himself off. "That was close," he said, "if we hadn't used Nejibana to counter those flames, we might've been in serious trouble. Still, how could they not have been completely extinguished? Those were some intense flames."
Aaroniero frowned, listening to the sounds of battle. "Damn, judging by that sound, the Alliance has already made it inside the town."
"We should form up with Caesar and the others. We need a new plan. Although, he'll probably go straight for his toys. Frankly, it's probably best that we stay as far away as possible when he does use them."
(With Izuru Kira and Shūhei Hisagi)
The Soul Reapers had spread out shortly after entering Clover. Squad 3 Lieutenant Izuru Kira and Squad 9 Lieutenant Shūhei Hisagi both led their own respective teams through town.
The two teams met after taking out a few rooftop squadrons. "We're completely overwhelming them, Izuru." Shūhei told him.
Izuru nodded. "Yeah, we're making good progress."
It almost seems too easy. He thought. They were tough on the county line, but now that we're inside the town, it's like the quality of the soldiers went down. But why?
"Well, look here, Kakuzu, bunch of death gods flying around." A smug voice sounded out.
The two teams turned to see two men in the robes of the Akatsuki on the next rooftop. Several Coalition soldiers that had been with them on that rooftop were surprised to see them. "Captain Hidan, Captain Kakuzu." One was surprised.
Kakuzu had an impassive look on his face. He then took out a book and opened it. After flipping through it, he sighed in boredom. "None of them have a price on their heads." He said.
"Oh, who gives a damn." Hidan glared at his partner. "These heathens are a living mockery of Jashin! They call themselves gods! The one true god is Jashin!"
Kakuzu looked at Hidan. "You and that damn phony god of yours, Hidan." He muttered.
"Kakuzu, I swear, if you keep mocking Jashin, you're going to be a part of my next ritual!" Hidan yelled. "I'll stab myself in the heart a ton of times if I have to!"
"You're going to have to make me bleed first, and we both know that's out of the question."
"Well…er…screw you, old bastard." Hidan grumbled.
Izuru and Shūhei looked at Hidan and Kakuzu. "Okay, who are they again?" Shūhei wondered.
"Check out those robes, and those markings." Izuru pointed. "They're members of the Akatsuki."
"That Akatsuki?" Shūhei was now concerned about this.
"Oh, did you hear that, Kakuzu, they've heard of us." Hidan grinned.
"We are a very well known terrorist group Hidan, you'd have to live under a rock to have not heard of us." Kakuzu pointed out. "Or at least be as dumb as you are."
"Oh piss off you old prick!" Hidan screamed in anger. "I swear, you just say crap to piss me off."
Kakuzu started clapping. "And you've finally figured it out." He deadpanned.
Damn, Izuru thought, I spoke too soon. The Akatsuki members are S-Ranked criminals in the Ninja World. Shūhei and I are lieutenants, we're nowhere near that level yet.
Still, I can probably incapacitated the one with the scythe pretty easily, and we do have strength in numbers. We're just gonna need to fight smartly against these two.
"Good day, gentleman."
Kakuzu was suddenly in between Shūhei and Izuru. "Aww crap!" Shūhei yelled as Kakuzu punched both lieutenants in the face, knocking them away.
Kakuzu casually cracked his neck as he turned to face the ten remaining Soul Reapers. Hidan soon joined him on the roof. "I've got no use for opponents that don't make me money." Kakuzu stated disdainfully. "So we're going to take care of this quickly."
"That means no rituals, Hidan."
"Che, fine, their blood wouldn't satisfy Jashin anyway."
"Kill them, it's just two men!" A Soul Reaper yelled.
"Earth Style: Iron Skin." Kakuzu deadpanned, raising his blackening arms.
Hidan scoffed as he was suddenly stabbed in five places by five Zanpakutō. Meanwhile, Kakuzu's hardened arms managed to block the other five Zanpakutō that were coming down on his head.
Hidan looked at the Soul Reapers that had stabbed him. "Ow," he said, "you know, just because I can't be killed doesn't mean that crap doesn't hurt you know."
"No way, that's impossible." A Soul Reaper shook in fear.
"Oh but it is, I've been blessed by Jashin. I am immortal!"
The Soul Reapers all pulled their blades out of Hidan. "Now die, false gods!" He yelled, swinging his scythe at them.
Most of the Soul Reapers managed to escape, but one was caught in the throat by the blades of Hidan's Triple-Bladed Scythe. The Soul Reaper gasped and wheezed as the blades protruded from the back of his neck. He was dead almost instantly.
"Yōsu!" One of his comrades yelled.
"Well, since my idiot partner has decided to get the bloodbath started…" Kakuzu began before forcing his assailants off balance.
"…I certainly cannot let him show me up." Kakuzu's arms then ripped open as several tendrils came out and ensnared all five men.
"It's a shame I have no need for any new hearts at the moment." Kakuzu mused. "But, than again, I could always use a few extra. And the idea of using a Soul Reaper's heart to extend my lifespan even further than usual is actually quite tempting."
With that, Kakuzu's threads dug into each Soul Reaper's chest. They all screamed in pain as their hearts were torn from their chests, killing them all.
Kakuzu casually dropped all of their bodies as he reformed his arms and then brought out a scroll. With a quick Hand Sign, he sealed all five hearts into the scroll.
"They killed them so easily." One of the four remaining Soul Reapers said in fear.
"God, they're monsters!" Another added.
"Aww, would you look at that, Kakuzu, they look like they're about to piss themselves." Hidan grinned.
Kakuzu stepped forward. "Since you have no interest in using them for your pointless ritual, I will be taking their hearts, if you don't mind."
"Fine, but stop insulting my damn rituals." Hidan glared at his partner.
The Soul Reapers all had their Zanpakutō raised, prepared to defend themselves from Kakuzu. Kakuzu quickly charged them and activated his Iron Skin.
A bold Soul Reaper swung his Zanpakutō, only to have Kakuzu block it with his arm. Kakuzu then drove his other fist into the midsection of the Soul Reaper, knocking him away easily. Before the others could react, Kakuzu clotheslined another in the throat.
The third attempted to cut him down, only for Kakuzu to block again with his other arm. Kakuzu then turned the arm that had just downed the second Soul Reaper into tendrils and ensnared the attacker.
"Kei!" The fourth Soul Reaper yelled in worry.
Kakuzu then turned his other arm into stitches again and ensnared the last Soul Reaper. "Well, that was so easy it was almost boring." Kakuzu noted.
Hidan scoffed. "Hurry up and kill them, Kakuzu. I want to find someone worth sacrificing to Jashin!"
"Oh, I know, don't worry, I'll make this quick. It'll almost be painless in fact." Kakuzu said as his tendrils started to move to the two.
"Reap, Kazeshini!"
A spinning Kusarigama suddenly cut through the tendrils, causing both Soul Reapers to fall from Kakuzu's grip. "What the…" Kakuzu was surprised.
"Raise your head, Wabisuke!"
Hidan growled in annoyance as he spun around just in time to block Izuru Kira's attack with his scythe. Hidan then noticed the strange shape of Izuru's Wabisuke. "What the hell's up with that weird-ass shape of your sword, little bastard?" Hidan inquired.
"It's not the shape, it's what its power is." Izuru explained as he backed off.
Hidan suddenly felt his scythe become heavier. It fell to the ground. "What the hell?!" Hidan screamed in frustration and surprise as he managed to lift it up with two hands. "How the hell is that even possible?"
"Wabisuke doubles the weight of anything metal it touches." Izuru explained.
"Oh that is such a cheap freaking power!" Hidan complained.
Kakuzu sighed in annoyance at Hidan's antics as Shūhei Hisagi suddenly appeared in front of the two remaining conscious Soul Reapers. "You two take the others and leave." Shūhei ordered them.
"Uh, yes sir." The Soul Reapers said as they grabbed their two unconscious comrades and Flash Stepped away.
"Sending your comrades away while you fight a losing battle?" Kakuzu was mockingly surprised. "Admirable, but dumb. But, still not as dumb as my partner."
"Screw you man!" Hidan screamed in anger.
"Keep your eyes on your opponent, you bastard!" Izuru yelled, charging Hidan again.
"Aww crap!" Hidan raised his scythe instinctively.
Hidan's eyes widened, realizing his mistake. Oh for the love of…
Wabisuke clashed against Hidan's scythe. Hidan grunted in surprise as the scythe became too heavy for him to wield with even two hands. "You…son of a…bitch!" Hidan struggled to lift his scythe. "I am so kicking your ass for this!"
Izuru suddenly appeared behind Hidan, locking his strangely shaped blade around Hidan's neck. "There's a reason why Wabisuke is shaped the way it is, why don't I show you?"
"Aww crap!" Hidan realized what was about to happen. "Hey, Kakuzu, help!"
"Sorry Hidan, kind of busy." Kakuzu stated uncaringly as he stared down Shūhei.
"Oh you son of a…"
Before Hidan could finish, Izuru decapitated Hidan with Wabisuke.
(With Flare Corona)
Flare Corona stood over several defeated Coalition soldiers with a look of pride on her face. "I've never felt this powerful before." She said to herself. "Certainly not during my time with Raven Tail."
Perhaps this is the strength I gain from being surrounded by actual friends, comrades that I can depend on. Flare thought to herself.
"Is that so? That truly is disappointing to hear, Flare."
Flare froze. Her eyes went wide with absolute horror. She slowly turned to see three familiar men nearing her. "I-Ivan…" Flare said, addressing the man in the lead in absolute terror.
Ivan Dreyar grinned darkly. "Flare my dear, I'm your superior, your master. Need I remind you that it is Master Ivan!" He shouted, sending a wave of Shikigami Magic at Flare.
Flare quickly leapt out of the way, causing Ivan to frown at her. "I am your master." He said. "You should've taken that attack. It is the punishment your master has given you!"
Flare glared at him. "You are no longer my master!" She yelled. "Raven Tail is no more, and even if it was I want nothing to do with any of you!"
Ivan looked at Black Snake. "Really, Black Snake, I thought you said that only Gajeel was here. Don't tell me you missed Flare?" He frowned.
"Forgive me, Master Ivan, it appears that I have." Black Snake bowed respectfully, somewhat ashamed of himself for his mistake.
Ivan sighed. "Oh well, no harm done, as long as we get to punish our wayward wizard."
Nullpudding chuckled. "You might want to stay where you are Flare. Running's not gonna save you anyway, so you might as well stand your ground!"
Flare readied her Hair Magic. "That's fine, I'm don't plan on running anyway." She said. "I'm going to erase the last part of my dark past right here and now!"
Ivan grinned. "I think not!"
Flare suddenly found herself getting weaker. "What…my Magic Power it's…"
She then heard the sound of a high pitched chuckle. Flare looked up to see a small creature laughing down at her.
"What is that thing?"
"Oh Flare, don't you recognize him? He's your old comrade, Obra."
Flare's eyes widened. "What, that thing was Obra all along?"
"Oh you've missed quite a bit since you left, Flare. Did you know that Obra was working for Lord Zeref all along?" Ivan inquired.
"Why join up with you than?" Flare asked.
"I have no reason to answer the questions of a traitor." Ivan's grin widened.
"However," he continued, "I do have reason to utterly destroy said traitor."
"Kill her! But make her suffer first!" Ivan ordered.
Flare tried to run, but found that she was still too weak from Obra sneak-attacking her and draining her Magic Power. All she could do was look on in horror as Black Snake and Nullpudding pounced.
(With Rogue Cheney and Pantherlily)
"Are you sure Gajeel can handle himself against that demon?" Rogue Cheney asked worriedly as he was carried through the city by a flying Pantherlily.
"You should have more faith in the man you look up to so much, Ryos." Pantherlily told him. "It's Gajeel, he can take care of himself against that guy."
Lily was, of course, saying this without knowing that Gajeel had already taken care of business against Kuro.
"For the last time, it's Rogue." Rogue frowned.
Rogue looked at the train station up ahead. "Anyways, we should fly over to the train station."
"The train station? Why there?" Pantherlily inquired.
"Considering it's importance to the Coalition and their strategy," Rogue explained, knowing that the railroad was important to the Coalition, "there's no doubt in my mind that's the enemy headquarters. Even if it isn't, it's probably filled with crucial supplies."
"Regardless of what it is, we don't have the manpower to just charge in."
"That's why I want you to drop me off there." Rogue told him. "I can hide myself amongst the shadows and take the stealthy approach."
"Are you sure? That's a risky approach you know."
"Don't worry, if things get difficult, I'll simply escape through the shadows. The only person who's capable of touching me in that form is Gajeel when he uses his Iron Shadow Dragon Form."
"Alright than, Max Speed!" Pantherlily suddenly sped up as they flew to the train station.
Several feet from the station, Lily let go of Rogue. Rogue dove through the sky at high speeds. Several Coalition soldiers stationed on the roof noticed something falling through the sky. "Fire!" A Marine Captain yelled.
"Shadow Dragon Body!" Rogue transformed into shadows and moved through the buildings.
"Sir, I don't see anything!" A soldier complained.
"Check the area around where it was dropped. It could be explosives for all we know."
"Yes sir!"
As they scrambled to check around the drop zone, Rogue stealthily moved through the shadows as a shadow.
Meanwhile, Pantherlily flew back to check up on Gajeel. However, before he got far, several arrows flew towards him.
"What the hell?"
Pantherlily looked down to see the strangely dressed man known as Chess aiming at him, with Kuromarimo standing right beside him.
"That guy is a good shot, that was too close." Pantherlily noted as he flew to the street to confront the duo.
"Well, well, a human cat, just when you think things can't get any freakier, right Kuromarimo?" Chess inquired mockingly.
"Right, Chess." Kuromarimo said in agreement.
Pantherlily frowned in annoyance. This won't take long. He noted. I'll get back to Gajeel as soon as I'm done with these jokers.
"Hey, Cat!" Chess called to him. "Why don't you surrender right now. A freak like you doesn't stand a chance against King Wapol's elites!"
"Damn straight!" Kuromarimo said in agreement. "Why don't we show you the difference in our power?"
Kuromarimo charged Pantherlily, who simply stood in place. "Marimo Jab!"
Pantherlily calmly took the punch to the chest without even flinching, making Kuromarimo's eyes widen. "No way…"
"Did he even feel that?" Chess wondered
"Is that it?" Pantherlily raised his hand in the air. "Do you even know how to fight?"
Before Kuromarimo could react, Pantherlily delivered a devastating karate chop to his head, slicing right through the afro and striking him down in one shot. "Kuromarimo!" Chess' eyes bulged out of his sockets in shock.
"And as for you." Pantherlily reached for his sword.
"Get away from me, freak!" Chess yelled, firing three arrows at once.
Pantherlily quickly cut the arrows in half and rushed Chess. "He cut my arrows?!" Chess was shocked.
Chess then gasped in pain as he was slashed diagonally by Pantherlily. Chess hit the ground, defeated in one attack just like his partner.
Pantherlily looked at the two opponents he had just defeated. "Are these guys really elites somewhere?" He wondered.
"Oh, so this is where Chess and Kuromarimo were?"
Pantherlily frowned at the new voice. He turned to see an incredibly fat man waddling towards him. "I was trying to find them to execute them because those annoying sounds haven't died down yet." Tin Plate Wapol complained.
"You must be Wapol, right?"
"That's King Wapol, you damn freak." Wapol glared at him.
Pantherlily frowned and raised his sword threateningly. "I've been with good and bad royalty throughout my life, and just by looking at you I can tell you're the bad kind."
"Ma ha ha! Well than that makes you both a freak, and a fool. I am the greatest king to have ever lived." Wapol declared arrogantly.
(With Monkey D. Luffy, Hiashi and Hinata Hyūga)
"Now, Gum-Gum Gatling!" Luffy yelled as he tore through another squad of Coalition soldiers.
Hiashi frowned in annoyance. "I don't even know why we bothered following him. He's clearly got this. handled"
Hinata smiled nervously. "Now, Father, you know it's better to fight in groups."
"That may be, but if this keeps up, Straw Hat going to single-handedly tear apart this entire army on his own. Doesn't the boy ever get tired?"
He's certainly like Uzumaki in that regard. Hiashi added mentally.
(With Lisa Yadōmaru and Hiyori Sarugaki)
Hiyori Sarugaki continued to slam her sandal-clad foot on a downed soldier's face in annoyance. "And that'll teach you to mess with our world you bastard!" She yelled.
"Hey, Hiyori, don't you think he's had enough?" Lisa deadpanned.
"I'll decide when this guy has had enough!"
"Why do you keep picking on him though?" Lisa inquired.
"He looked at me weird, like he wasn't taking me seriously!"
"You're short, nobody's going to take you seriously." Lisa pointed out.
Hiyori now turned her anger on Lisa. "What was that, Lisa? I dare you to say that again!"
"Okay, you're short, are you happy?"
"No, I am not!" Hiyori yelled in anger as something moved up behind her.
Lisa's eyes then widened. "Hiyori get away from there!"
With her instincts kicking in, Hiyori leapt away just as a shroud of gas was about to envelop her.
"I don't normally involve myself in such strenuous labor," an incredibly tall man covered in what looked like gas admitted, "I usually leave that to my servants."
"As you can see though, since my servants have been wiped out, I will have to take care of this myself." Caesar Clown continued.
"Hey, Lisa, what the hell is with this guy's appearance?" Hiyori wondered.
Lisa narrowed her eyes. "A Devil Fruit." She said. "We're fighting a Devil Fruit user."
"Hiyori," she continued, "I need your help, so I'm gonna need you to focus. Be on your guard against this one."
Hiyori was surprised at how open Lisa was being about this. This guy was clearly tough if he made the normally carefree Lisa wary. "Alright than," Hiyori said.
"Let's take him out together!" Hiyori yelled as the two charged the mad scientist.
Omake: Why Certain Worlds Were Not Involved, Part 1
"My Lord, what exactly are you doing?" A servant inquired.
Chitsujo had used his powers to open up a 'looking glass' of sorts. "I am observing a man in what I am going to call the Alchemy World." Chitsujo explained.
"Umm, might I ask why, Sir?"
"His name is Roy Mustang, he is known as the Flame Alchemist. I would very much like to see if he can be a positive influence on a 'candidate' of mine, should Konton decide to mess with this world as well.
"And what is your conclusion, Lord Chitsujo?"
Chitsujo sweat-dropped as he gestured for the servant to come and look. "You might as well see for yourself." He said.
The servant then sweat-dropped as he watched Roy Mustang dance privately in his room. That alone is embarrassing, but what he was also doing was the real kicker.
Roy Mustang was rapping.
Oh, snap, snap! Spark, spark!
It's time to light up the diggy-diggy dark!
I'm the Flame Alchemist and I'm gonna be Führer!
My beats are hot, and my rhymes are purer!
I like the ladies in the miniskirts,
I'll be posing in the mirror without my fancy shirts!
I'm gonna set your heart on fire, whoosh, whoosh!
And you know my heart burns bright too, kaboom, kaboom!
My firepower tonight, is feeling just right!
Kablam, kablam! Oh, wicky-wicky! Ooh, ooh! Say what!
"So than I guess your verdict is…"
"Yeah, that's not going to happen." Chitsujo said firmly, closing the 'looking glass.'
A.N: For all you FMA fans, I'm sure you recognize the infamous Flame Alchemist Rap. If you don't recognize it, Youtube it, it's hilarious. To this day, I'm amazed that Travis Willingham managed to hold it together.
Before I get any flames for making fun of FMA, let me be clear, I love FMA as much as the next guy. While D-Gray Man was the first anime I ever watched, FMA Brotherhood was what really got me into anime, so it holds a special place in my heart; and part of the reason for that was due to how phenomenal Vic Mignogna and Travis Willingham's performances as Edward Elric and Roy Mustang were. For all the sub-dub debates there are out there, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood's dub really should never be mentioned along the lines of 'this dub sucks.' Funimation really pulled out all the stops for that one. Seriously, that and One Piece are probably the best dubbing work Funimation has done.
Yes, I'll admit it, I prefer dubs. While I am not interested in the dub-sub debates, I will say that I have never seen a 'bad' dub, so I can never really understand the people who complain about dubs. But, of course, I'm saying this having not seen 4Kids' horrific rendition of One Piece. Honestly, all I have to do is read the things they changed and censored to know how bad it was. But, from what I read, that version was more of a problem with the censoring, rather than the dubbing. Some of the censoring they put in were just ridiculous. One Piece was never meant to be censored. Part of its charm is how over the top it is and censoring just ruins that.
Anyways, that's my personal opinion. I watch dubs, and you know what, I enjoy it. But, if something's in subs only, and it's interesting, I'll watch it just the same. Awhile back I finished Season 1 of Nisekoi with my Anime Club. While I prefer dubs, I don't let it get in my way of my love of anime. There's really no need for a dub-sub debate. Let's all just enjoy anime together.
But enough of that, onto the Q&A
To 333Lucy, I think I already did Lucy x Deidara last week and Lucy and her spirits' reactions awhile back. Unless I missed them of course..
Team Natsu's reactions to what was said about Lucy.
Natsu: Hey, you take that crap back about Lucy! I'm all fired up.
Gray: Lucy's a nice girl, I won't stand for that.
Erza: You are not allowed to flirt with Lucy. You are not worthy of her.
Next, Granz x Karin
Sasuke: …Finally.
Suigetsu: Of course you'd find a guy who's as crazy if not crazier than you.
Jūgo: Congrats
Yylfordt: Well done, Brother. Frankly, I always thought you were gay.
Next, Angel x Hidan
Kakuzu: Did you threaten her, Hidan?
Cobra: I can hear nothing but lustful and violent thoughts in his head, Angel. You sure this is a good idea?
Racer: Is he too fast…in bed *snickers*?
Yukino: Umm…Sis? Are you sure he's safe to date?
Next, Millianna x Sasori
Kagura: Millianna, I do not trust this man.
Deidara: Damn, Sasori my man, you are more of a ladies man than I expected.
Kankurō: Sasori, I am now officially jealous of you. And not just because of how good a puppet master you are.
I haven't seen Big Hero 6, I have heard it's pretty good though.
Now the reactions to the Phantom Lord War
Naruto: All that out of jealousy and hatred? Sounds like the Leaf Sand War. That didn't accomplish anything either.
Sakura: Gajeel is lucky he's an ally now, otherwise I'd smash him into next week for what he did to Shadow Gear.
Ichigo: You protected the guild and everyone close to you. I'd say you guys did just fine.
Rukia: Whoa, never knew Lucy was actually part of such a big-shot family. Kinda reminds me of myself.
Orihime: But…that's so mean!
Luffy: I hope Natsu beat the crap out of everyone.
Zoro: I kinda would've liked to have fought this Wizard Saint named Jose. Would've been a hell of a fight.
Sanji: How dare they! Don't they realize that doing that made Lucy cry?
Robin: I guess you went through something similar to me, huh Lucy? True friends never abandon you, no matter the situation.
Franky: Attacking Levy, not super. Kicking Phantom Lord ass, totally super.
Next, Itachi x Yukino
Naruto: Good to see you've found some happiness.
Sasuke: She'll do…
Kisame: Damn, Itachi, I'm jealous
Angel: Way to go, Sis.
Sting: You're with Sabertooth's Princess now, Itachi, don't even think about making her cry.
Rufus: I don't think I remember seeing her this happy before.
Next, Gajeel x Temari
Levy: No…
Natsu: Ha! Gajeel's whipped now!
Gaara: Hurt my sister, and the first words you hear from me are 'Sand Coffin'
Kankurō: I'd threaten you, but nothing I do to you will compare to what Gaara will do, so let's leave it at that.
Shikamaru: What a drag, at least she's finally off my back.
Next Kabuto x Levy
Gajeel: Really, Shrimp, really?
Jet and Droy: NO!
Lucy: Umm, Levy, why?
Orochimaru: Kabuto you fool.
Naruto: You better not hurt her, Kabuto.
Now the reactions to Team Natsu
Aizen: An interesting group. Natsu Dragneel is connected with Ichigo Kurosaki, correct?
Ulquiorra: They're all trash.
Nnoitra: Heh, they all look weak as hell. I'd like to make that blonde my pet though.
Haschwalth: None of them can stand against His Majesty's power.
Bazz-B: My flames vs. Salamander's, let's see who's stronger.
Blackbeard: Ze ha ha ha! They are mere steppingstones for my ambition.
Crocodile: Friendship? Camaraderie? What weak values.
Akainu: They will simply fall to Absolute Justice, like all the rest.
Orochimaru: Hmm, perhaps I should make that Dragon Slayer my next body.
Deidara: Mmm, that blonde would make a fine canvas for my art.
Hidan: Heh, I don't care how strong they are. They can't kill me, so they'll make good sacrifices to Jashin instead.
Kisame: I wonder how my swordsmanship compares to Titania.
Next, Bazz B x Meredy
Haschwalth: Bazz B, this better not interfere with your duty to His Majesty
Liltotto: Mmm, does she taste good?
Ultear: Meredy is like my daughter. And I will beat you to death if you hurt my daughter.
Juvia: Good for you, Meredy. Now I must get Gray to love me.
Next, Wendy x Lee
Erza: Wendy is like my little sister. Hurt her, and you die.
Lucy: This seems…wrong.
Chelia: Aww, Wendy found love first.
Guy: How youthful!
Tenten: Isn't this pedophilia? It really feels that way.
Naruto: So Bushy Brows got a girlfriend first? How?
As for what would happen if Lucy meets Absalom, well…I think Absalom will probably replace Nami, let's just say that, eh?
To Guest 1, That would be telling. I won't reveal who will rescue her.
To Guest 2, okay in order, starting the plot to declare those people as criminals
Garp: Fine, declare me a criminal. I've survived for years not following every rules you guys make, this makes no difference.
Sengoku: Perhaps Roger and Whitebeard had the right idea of you all.
Smoker: So it's come down to that, huh? I don't follow Absolute Justice and you people kick me to the curb?
Tashigi: How could they do this to us?
Hina: Hina is furious.
Tsuru: It appears all my years of service have led to nothing.
Fujitora: It appears I was also blind to your loyalty to your own soldiers.
Akainu: How dare you?! After all I've done in the name of justice, this is how you thank me?!
Kizaru: Well that's not cool at all.
Now the new world reactions
Garp: So this is what real peace looks like? I never thought I'd see it.
Sengoku: It's sobering to realize what you've followed for years has turned out to be not the correct path. Even more when what you've been trying to stop was the correct path all this time.
Smoker: So all this time a better world was waiting for us. Unbelievable…
Tashigi: Wow…
Hina: Hina is shocked…
Tsuru: I've been a Marine for decades. And you've done more for the world than the Government has ever done in just a few years.
Fujitora: It appears we were all blind to the benefits your revolution would bring, Dragon.
To Guest 3, It's hard to say, considering that who gets Conqueror's Haki is literally like pulling a slot machine, since it's one in a million. Although it's definitely Ichigo, Naruto, and Natsu who'd get it, considering they have plot armor.
To The Free-loader, at this rate, probably, it does seem like Kubo is trying to drag things out as long as possible. We'll probably see Kyōraku use his Bankai against Haschwalth.
To Fan-of-FictionX01, no it hasn't been done before. Starting with the reactions to Kaguya
Yhwach: Interesting, she might even be difficult for me.
Madara: So this is the true power of the Ten Tails
Zeref: Unreal…
Aizen: I need to harness that power somehow.
Doflamingo: Is this really the power of a real god? No, I refuse to believe that!
Dragon: This may be tough…
Yamamoto: Hmm…
Makarov: Gonna need Fairy Law for this…maybe Fairy Glitter as well.
Next, the reaction to Naruto in The Last
Ichigo: At what point are you just showing off?
Natsu: Whoa, I really want to fight you now!
Luffy: So cool!
Erza: Amazing…
Starrk (whistles appreciatively)
Halibel: He may even be a match for Aizen.
To Lightningblade49, Yeah, that's probably the truth of the matter isn't it? Although really, all four of them are annoying to work with considering that strategy means nothing to any of them.
To DevilSlayer420, Glad to hear you enjoyed the omake. Although, honestly, I'm not going to do Erza x Sakura and Gray x Sasuke. Yaoi is one of the few things I refuse to touch on, and due to the fact that I'd be unfair otherwise, I don't touch on Yuri either. I'm doing what I can with Endgame, but like I said, I work on chapters at a pace where I do it when inspiration and ideas come to me.
To Guest 4, Oh, 333Lucy is your sister? I'm happy to hear that you and your sister are going for publishing it. This may sound cliche, but chase it.
To Guest 5, Hey now, there's no need to apologize. Frankly, I don't even know what you're apologizing for. If you're apologizing for a flame, I must've missed it. If you're apologizing for asking for a reaction to an anime I haven't seen before, than no harm done. I haven't really given much thought to an OC like that, but I have quite a few OC's in mind for the future, including the three members of the Nine Dark Circles.
To darkmachines, Well, I would certainly not label them the weakest. Halibel's Fracciónes are probably the weakest when it comes to fighting one on one, but are very powerful together. Baraggan's Fracciónes have not fought yet.
Yeah, I killed Cirucci, sorry. I haven't really planned on taking OC's yet though, so you really don't have to worry about that.
Zetsu and Rudobon simply have not teamed up yet.
Liltotto and Candice are still alive.
Tesla just hasn't appeared yet.
The six Jinchūriki besides Naruto, B, and Gaara will be fighting with the Coalition. I won't reveal what happens to them afterwards
Ggio just hasn't appeared yet.
There will be a battle at Las Noches eventually, but I won't reveal what happens.
To Guest 6, Alright than, let's see.
Fujitora: Kent Williams (If he does something like his Father voice from FMA Brotherhood, than he can do this role)
Liltotto: Cherami Leigh (Think her sadistic and childish Road Kamelot voice from D-Gray Man)
Candice: Erica Mendez (some of you may know her as the English voice of Ryūko Matoi from Kill La Kill)
Giselle: Monica Rial (I'm actually amazed she hasn't been cast in any of the really big shows outside of what Funimation does, considering how long she's been in the business. You'd think someone with her credentials would get a role in Bleach or Naruto at some point)
Meninas: Laura Bailey (This one was actually tough, considering how silent Meninas is compared to her loudmouthed comrades. So, I picked a personal favorite of mine for her impressive range. No, seriously, take a look at Laura's roles, she's got some serious range. That's something you've really got to respect)
Bambietta: Kari Wahlgren
Yhwach: Richard Epcar (considering him and Old Man Zangetsu are practically one in the same, it makes sense that they have the same VA)
Bazz-B: Steven Blum (probably one of his punk, youthful voices. In fact, how the hell has he not gotten a role in Bleach yet? This is Steven Blum for crying out loud)
Haschwalth: Crispin Freeman (another guy who really needs a role in Bleach at some point)
Chinjao: Eddie Guerrero (Some of you know him as General Ivan, who sometimes does work for DBZ Abridged. I know him as Ichiya from Fairy Tail and Moriah from One Piece. You would not believe how surprised I was when I realized the guy who voices Doctor Gero and Cooler in the Abridged series did Ichiya's voice as well, because I was wracking my brain big time trying to figure out where I had heard that voice before)
To Lewis, Yep, over 900. Also, thank you for the compliment, professional is certainly a new one. Now, as for the reactions…
Natsu: What, I can do that?
Gray: Damn, I'm not sure even my ice can stand up to that.
Erza: Unbelievable, he may be stronger than the master.
Gajeel: Damn…
Naruto: Whoa, that geezer is definitely Kage-level. Maybe even beyond that.
Luffy: So cool!
Sakura and Ino: Eww
Shikamaru: Troublesome.
Chōji: Holy crap…
Kakashi: Well, that's terrifying.
Nami, Brook, Happy, and Levy would scream in horror.
Zoro: Heh, I kinda want to fight him
Tsunade: Unbelievable, he may be a match for Grandpa Hashirama.
Carla: That seems…unnecessary.
Laxus: Holy…definitely as strong as one of the 4 Gods of Ishgar. Maybe even stronger.
Gildarts: Well, he's definitely stronger than me.
Juvia: I am terrified. Those flames will evaporate my body.
Cana: I'm going to need to drink this off. Seeing something gross like that makes me thirsty.
Elfman: So manly!
Makarov: Oh my…
Sanji: That definitely burns hotter than Diable Jambe.
I have heard of Monet and Sugar being sisters. I probably should give them a moment at some point.
To AbaraiRenji12, okay, reaction time. First Naruto and Yukino.
Sakura: Naruto, you better not perv on Yukino too much. She's a bit innocent, you know?
Shikamaru: Troublesome…
Hinata: No…I have a big chest too.
Lee: So youthful!
Jiraiya: Naruto, I am proud of you!
Tsunade: She better be able to keep you in line.
Natsu: Yukino is nice, so you be nice to her.
Erza: Congrats…
Lucy: Hey, good for you, Yukino
Gray: Hmm…
Wendy: Aww, that's so sweet.
Sting: You're dating our guild's princess, treat her right man.
Rogue: Congrats.
Next, Naruto and Sorano
Sakura: Never knew you liked bad girls.
Shikamaru: Okay, now that's troublesome.
Hinata: No…
Lee: So youthful, love has even reformed the girl formerly known as Angel
Jiraiya: Ooh, I am proud of my godson right now.
Tsunade: Dammit Naruto…
Natsu: I know she's Yukino's sister, but can you trust her?
Erza: I'll trust her if you do.
Lucy: I guess that'll work. I just hope she's changed.
Gray: You sure that's a good idea?
Wendy: Are you sure you can trust her?
Sting: Whoa, Yukino's sister is kind of a babe.
Rogue: Well done.
I haven't planned for a meeting between Yukino and Sorano yet. But, I probably should.
To JadenCage, alright than, starting with your first question.
Probably Ichigo's group, Shunsui and Jūshirō the Straw Hats, the Red Haired Pirates, the Whitebeards, Fairy Tail, and also Sabertooth now that they've started to change.
Next question, Byakuya and his harem
Shunsui: Byakuya I envy you.
Soifon: I never knew you were that kind of guy.
Jūshirō: Well, I guess the head of the Kuchiki Clan needs multiple women.
Tsunade: Disgusting…
Ōnoki: Ah to be young again…wait, you're not even young.
Sakura: Hinata? But you…I thought…ugh, never mind.
Kiba: Hinata? Why?
Elfman: Sis, you sure you're okay with sharing this guy?
Lisanna: Wow, Mira…
Gajeel: Wow, that's surprising…
Jet and Droy: NO!
Aizen: Hmm, I now have plenty to use against you, Byakuya Kuchiki.
To WHATTHEHELL, this is an interesting pairing.
Aquarius: Damn you Scorpio, and you as well Temari!
Gaara: Hurt my sister, and you die.
Kankurō: I'm gonna leave the threats to Gaara.
Shikamaru: Troublesome…
Now for the One Piece villains reactions
Buggy: How could a bunch of stupid spirits be stronger than me, Buggy the Clown?
Smoker: That Aquarius might be difficult.
Crocodile: Damn, too bad I can't turn them into a mummy. I need to avoid that damn mermaid though.
Eneru: Ya ha ha ha! As if they could measure up to a god!
Aokiji: Oh my, my, I could start my own harem with this many spirit women.
Moriah: Heh, I could make great zombies with their shadows.
Akainu: Bah, weaklings
And now, Guy x Mirajane
Elfman: Way to go, Sis, you found someone real manly!
Lisanna: Congrats, Mira.
Erza: Isn't he a bit old for you, Mira
Lee: So youthful! Congratulations Guy-Sensei!
Kakashi: How?
That does sound like something Nnoitra would do. Now, the reason I haven't had Yoruichi try to save Soifon is because Yoruichi understands that she can't make things personal in the war, because with the increased security in Nirvana that has probably been added, she'd put her comrades at risk trying to save Soifon. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one, and Yoruichi gets that. Even if it hurts her, she can't save Soifon yet. Won't reveal who Hidan meets. Everyone would probably comically freak out at how eccentric the two are. Now, as for the reactions to Future Lucy's death
Naruto: She sacrificed everything just to warn them and protect the future. Natsu, way to make sure it wasn't in vain.
Sakura, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Franky, Brook, and Orihime would just cry over how sad it was.
Sasuke, Kakashi and Zoro would remain silent.
Luffy: Where is that guy from the future, I'm gonna beat him up for that!
Sanji: NOO! Future Lucy-swan why?!
Ichigo: She gave her life to protect what was important to her…
Thank you so much for the compliments. I really can't take all the credit though, my friend, Ryuzaki 007 has been an irreplaceable advisor and helper with the story, he was the one who coined the term Conqueror's Coalition and we'll be seeing a few of his ideas as well in this story in the future. We hope to co-write a few fanfics afterwards.
To ultra battle99, I'd say it's either FMA style or Bleach style. Although, if people would like to try their hand at drawing Chitsujo and Konton, I'm all for it. Just ask me first and I'll give you a very detailed description to help you with it. To whoever does do it, and I'll leave it open for multiple people, send me the link of the pictures.
To Guest 16, No problem. Here you go.
To Zeref: Immortal or not, you're still human, Zeref. In fact, I could probably get rid of your immortality with ease.
To Madara: You really are a fool. I'm going to have to show you how minuscule you really are
To Doflamingo: God? Commoners? All I see is a spoiled brat.
To Eneru: You seem convinced, huh? Okay than, time to change your name from God to Ant.
To Kizaru: Same to you, that goofy grin needs to be wiped away.
To Akainu: Says the man who won't shut up about Absolute Justice.
To Orochimaru: Power can be taken away easily, Snake. Why don't I show you?
To Brain: You know, I think I will.
To AnimeEmperor, I won't reveal what plans I have for them. I haven't decided if we will see Surume.
To Guest 7, Ooh, I've been waiting for something related to KH. That's been my thing for awhile now. Okay, in order.
Konton: Hmm, what do you say we team up Xehanort. I have a feeling that a partnership between us would be very beneficial.
Yhwach: A group that lives in the shadows, just like the Wandenreich.
Blackbeard: Ze ha ha ha! Let them achieve their dreams. They're strong enough to do it after all.
Madara: So, this is what truly wiping away all those useless emotions results in.
Zeref: Beings that live in darkness, just like myself. Yet they do not curse their existence.
Baraggan: Bah, they'll all fall to me. I'm a king, I'm a god.
Ulquiorra: They want hearts? Why?
Nnoitra: Heh, those Heartless look weak as hell. Those Nobodies though, they look tough.
Aizen: What an…interesting bunch.
Haschwalth: They will all fall to His Majesty
Bazz B: Hmm, Axel, let's see who's flames are stronger.
Mask: Their darkness will fall to the light of the Superstar!
Äs: They don't have hearts…but can they still feel fear?
Hidan: They don't look so tough. Let's see how long they last as sacrifices to Jashin!
Orochimaru: Perhaps I should make one of these Nobodies my next body. Or at least take that Keyblade.
Kabuto: Kingdom Hearts, huh? I should track this down for Lord Orochimaru.
Obito: It is good that they want hearts, but their methods are wrong.
Kaguya: I will take them. They belong to me, just like everyone else.
Kyōka: Monsters? Bah, they are not true monsters. Not true demons!
Silver: I wonder if my Devil Slayer Magic will be any good against them.
Mard Geer: They are still weak, compared to Mard Geer of course.
Cobra: They really do not have hearts. I can't hear a single heartbeat.
Hades: Kingdom Hearts? This may give me more power than ever.
Zancrow: Ha ha ha! A bunch of weaklings like them can't stand against the power of a god!
Ivan: Kingdome Hearts may be stronger than Lumen Histoire! I must have it!
Mihawk: Pehaps I should test myself against the legendary Keyblade.
Doflamingo: Such power belongs in the hands of a god amongst commoners. I think I'll take this Kingdom Hearts.
Eneru: These Nobodies are just that, nobodies. They cannot stand against a god.
Lucci: Interesting, but if they stand against the government, I'll crush them.
Akainu: Humph, a bunch of freaks can't stand against Absolute Justice.
Kizaru: Ooh, scary.
Smoker: I wonder if command will order us to get Kingdom Hearts.
Garp: Huh, that's certainly something unique.
Sengoku: Hmm…
Tashigi: Wow, I so want that Keyblade!
Caesar: Hmm, these will make fine test subjects!
Chitsujo: These Heartless need to be stopped.
Ichigo: The Keyblade huh? I wonder how it stands against Zangetsu.
Luffy: So cool!
Naruto: It sounds horrible, not having a heart…
Natsu: Nobodies? Organization XIII? I'm fired up now!
Orihime: They don't have hearts? That's horrible!
Urahara: What an interesting subject.
Yoruichi: Kisuke's gonna have a field day with this one.
Shunsui: Well, looks like Soul Society's got something new to protect.
Soifon: You don't need hearts for me to poison you with Suzumebachi.
Byakuya: It doesn't matter how many Heartless there are, Senbonzakura will crush you all.
Tōshirō: Your ice is nothing against mine, Vexen.
Shinji: That Larxene…I think she's my first love.
Hiyori: I have it memorized! Quit pissing me off, Axel!
Sakura: Cha! You're all going down!
Sasuke: I wonder…would I be worthy of the Keyblade
Kakashi: You Nobodies have a lot of confidence. Perhaps I should take you down a peg.
Karin: These Nobodies may be hunks…but Sasuke still looks better than them.
Suigetsu: Ooh, a ton of non-human enemies to cut up. Excellent!
Shikamaru: Troublesome…new enemies.
Hinata: They don't just have hearts, I can't see anything inside of them.
Lee: Such an un-youthful group.
Tsunade: Maybe if you had hearts you'd understand this, don't underestimate the will of fire.
A: So, can you fear me without a heart?
Gaara: In spite of your power, you cannot hope to get through my sand. Surrender, Nobodies.
Hagoromo: Kingdom Hearts…what an interesting power.
Lucy: Doesn't not having a heart bother you people?
Gray: Sorry, but your ice is weak, Vexen.
Erza: Your lack of hearts have weakened you! Let me show you that!
Wendy: Not having a heart sounds horrible…
Sting: You know, I used to fight without heart. That didn't end well. I'll never turn away from my heart again.
Rogue: So this is what happens when darkness takes you over. I cannot let that happen to me.
Jellal: Thank goodness I turned away from darkness. I might've ended up like you people.
Mavis: Fall to the light of the fairies.
Zoro: Looks like I've got some new opponents on my way to being the Greatest Swordsman in the Universe.
Sanji: You do have a heart, Larxene-swan, MINE!
Franky: So not super.
Brook: Larxene, could you perhaps show me your panties?
Law: Hmm, I guess taking your hearts out of your bodies is out of the question.
I'm only an episode into the original series. I've got so many anime I'm watching right now with so little time, you know.
To Guest 8, They're still up at the Royal Palace, actually. Let's be honest, there's gonna be a new Soul King at some point, so they need somebody to guard it.
To Guest 9, I do know Inuyasha, but I haven't gotten far yet. I'm only two episodes in.
To Guest 10, he would probably say something like: "No, no, NO! How dare you mock my art! My art is perfect! I will not have you mock it the way you are doing right now!
To ArksOfChaos, Don't worry, I know you're not flaming me. I don't think I will change it because I think I can still go in the direction I intended. Gray may have complete control, but what may have happened does raise some legitimate concerns about the adverse effects of Devil Slayer Magic. There are too many variables on the battlefield to risk Gray that way. Also, Chitsujo has a hidden reason for taking Gray's Devil Slayer Magic. Nothing malicious, but it is a reason. Don't bother guessing that reason though, I won't say if you get it right or not because I want it to be a surprise.
To Guest 11, Hey, I still enjoyed it, you just won't see me rushing to re-watch it. Now than, onto the questions. Starting with, Shion…
Luffy: They're your friends too, right? You shouldn't hurt them.
Zoro: I cut up people regardless of what their gender is. Don't test me, psycho.
Usopp: You know what, you're right, and I am going to leave and pretend I never saw this.
Chopper: Do you have any idea what kind of effects torture has on peoples' bodies? I'm a doctor, please listen to me about this!
Next, the reply to Rika
Luffy: Why did your voice change?
Usopp, Franky, and Nami: Don't act cute and than terrifying!
Chopper: Wait, Shion's gonna come after me?
Sanji: Ooh, Shion can come after me!
Zoro: What the hell's with that 180 shift?
Brook would just scream
Next, Rena and Chopper
Usopp: Uh, we kinda need him with us, Rena.
Zoro: Hey, quit smothering our doctor!
Nami: No you cannot!
Robin: Let. Chopper. Go.
Luffy: Hey, Chopper's my doctor, not yours!
Chopper: I am not a pet, I'm a doctor, dammit!
Now, the reply to Luffy's terrible attempt to lie.
Rena: Wow you are worse at lying than Keiichi.
Keiichi: Dude that poker face sucks!
Mion and Satoko: Are you freaking kidding me?!
Rika: Wow, Luffy is a bad liar.
Luffy: I don't want to leave, but I have to leave. I still have to be King of the Pirates.
Zoro: Luffy lying aside, we do have to leave.
Chopper: I'm sorry Rena.
Nami: Look, we don't belong in this world.
Usopp: It's not like we want to hurt you…
Now, Usopp's reply to Rena
"Uh, you know what, you're right, I did lie and for that I'm sorry…please don't hurt me."
Next, Orihime at a Halloween Party
Kid: If that woman doesn't stop making a mockery of us pirates, I'm gonna kill her.
Bonney: At least the food here is decent.
Law: Ugh…
Mihawk: I don't think I've ever said argh that way.
Hancock: That tramp better not seduce my Luffy.
Smoker: I've never captured a pirate that has acted like that.
Tashigi: Neither have I.
Garp: Bwa ha ha! I kinda like this girl.
Sengoku: If only pirates were that simple…
Tsuru: Interesting.
Whitebeard: Does she think pirates act like that?
Ace and Marco: Argh? Really?
Luffy: Yay, ahoy maties!
Zoro and Nami: Don't encourage her, dumb ass!
Sanji: Orihime looks so sexy in that pirate outfit.
Chopper: We're really out of the loop if pirates actually act like that.
Brook: I wonder if Orihime would perhaps show me her panties.
Franky: Totally inaccurate but SUPER all the same.
Robin: I don't think pirates act like that…
Sai, Ideo and Boo: She really is lacking upstairs isn't she?
Rebecca, Kyros and Riku would be silent in shock
Chinjao: I've been out at sea for years, and I've never seen a pirate behave like that.
Fujitora: I can't see, how is she acting that's so bad? I can hear it, but I don't see it.
Kizaru: If only all pirates were that witless.
Akainu: Ugh…
Blackbeard: She is mocking us…
Burgess: Captain, calm down.
Shillew: I'm gonna kill her.
Cavendish: She's trying to steal my popularity!
Bartolomeo: How dare she make a mockery of the profession Luffy is involved with!
Vivi: That's…great Orihime.
Now, the Christmas Party
Zoro: Umm…what?
Sanji: Dammit, I wanted to see Orihime in a sexy Santa outfit!
Nami: Luffy…kinda looks cute in that actually.
Brook and Franky would just laugh.
Sai: Uh…congrats, gramps?
Boo: I can't believe Gramps actually participated.
Finally, the cute comments.
Ichigo: Yuzu would have a fit over Chopper.
Isshin: My daughters are cuter than that little reindeer!
Uryū: I could've created a better outfit for them if Orihime had allowed it.
Chad: Huh…
Tatsuki: Wow, that is one big Santa Claus.
Chizuru: My hime is still cuter.
Mahana, Michiru, and Mizuho: So cute…
Ryo: Kinda reminds me of that stuffed animal that tried to outrun me.
To Guest 12, okay, starting with the response to Luffy's questions and remarks.
Long beard: Luffy, I would prefer that you showed more respect. We are the ruling body of the world, after all.
Young one: He really is like his grandfather. He came up with nicknames as well.
Mustache: Please do not refer to the Celestial Dragons as such. They are the descendants of the world's creators after all.
As for the rest…
Sakazuki: Boy, if you cannot show them respect, I will kill you, consequences notwithstanding.
Sengoku: Ugh, you are Garp's grandson…
Tashigi: Luffy don't call them that!
Smoker: Luffy you…ugh, I'd say you're going to whiten my hair, but since that's happened you're going to make me go bald.
Hina: Hina is furious with you right now, Luffy.
Spandam: Execute him! You have the power to do that!
Lucci: What a fearless man…
Kaku: He's got balls, I'll give him that.
Kalifa: That's sexual harassment
Jabra: Is he insane?
Kumadori: Yoi yoi! Luffy, show some more politeness. Allow me to apologize for him Elder Stars, by dying! Seppuku, Iron Body…I can't even die right!
T-Bone: Luffy you fool!
Sentomaru: Ugh…
Fujitora: Oh, I don't have to see know the looks on their faces right now.
Aokiji: Oh my, my, Luffy you have a death wish.
Tsuru: Luffy, would you like to call me old as well. You do look like you could use a good wash after all.
Coby and Helmeppo: Are you insane!
Kizaru: Might want to be a bit more polite, kid.
Garp: You idiot, I taught you better than that!
Bastille: Luffy…
Now the response to the goodbye.
Spandam: How are you getting away with this?!
Tashigi: Luffy…
Smoker: You freaking idiot…
Hina: Hina…is shocked beyond words.
Kaku: I kinda like this guy.
Jabra: This guy's an idiot
Luffy's subordinates: Sir!
Now the response to Luffy not thinking before talking
Sentomaru: Think before you talk, Luffy!
Smoker: You're a Vice Adimral, kid, act like it before I decide to kill myself out of shame for letting you get promoted before me.
Tashigi: Luffy…
Hina: Hina needs to do something about your stupidity, Luffy.
Aokiji: Meh, I've got no room to criticize you. I get promoted and I'm lazy as hell.
T-Bone: Think before you speak, young man!
Now for the response to the bad lying.
Sentomaru: I know you're lying.
Smoker: Kid, you've got a crappy poker face.
Tashigi: Luffy, I literally know when you are lying…so don't lie!
Hina: Hina is not happy, Luffy.
Aokiji: You're lying, idiot.
T-Bone: Young man, don't you dare lie to me!
To Guest 13, starting with the first question…
Roswald: Bah, she deserved it.
Sharlia: Trying to mingle with commoners. What a fool
Charloss: Daddy is right.
Lyankiri: Understandable, the people are angry at us and most of us are too weak to fight back.
Angira: Oh dear me, I know they have every right to be angry, but still.
Next, the response to the little girl
Sharlia and Charloss: You are as dumb as the slaves!
Now the response to Lyankiri
Roswald: We don't need that power! We are gods! They shouldn't question us!
Angira: But, Lyankiri, we shouldn't be ruling over them!
Next, the responses to the little girl.
Fisher Tiger: Then live and atone for all the pain you think you are causing them!
Koala: No, I won't do that. I'm going to help you instead. We can get through this without you dying.
Luffy: What, no you're much nicer than that jerk.
Sengoku: I had a man executed for his blood, it seemed right at the time, but now not so much. I will not make that same mistake again.
Whitebeard: Because you should not be held accountable for their sins, child.
Sanji: I never refuse service to anyone, especially a lady.
Rosinante: No! Don't you dare say something like that! Honestly, what has this world come to, making children say things like that!
Now the replies to Kiyil's pleas
Angira: I'm sorry, but we can't risk that.
Sharlia: It's probably better she dies anyway.
Charloss: I'm not risking myself.
Moka would just tell them to know their place like everyone else and the Nobles would call her a monster and a freak.
To Guest 14, Baraggan would angrily point out that Yammy is apparently supposed to be stronger than him, and that the fact that he was defeated by an ant is infuriating. Keep in mind, Yammy only gets that strong when he conserves his power for long periods of time.
The bounties of the others would be as follows.
'Explosive' Bambietta 280,000,000
'Devourer' Liltotto 140,000,000
'Thunderbolt' Candice 210,000,000
'Necromancer' Giselle 180,000,000
Meninas the Strong 160,000,000
'Celestial Princess' Lucy, 80,000,000
I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter. Until next time, folks! Peace out!
