A.N: What's up readers, back in the game with yet another chapter of the Five Worlds War. BUt not just any chapter, it's the 50th chapter. Can you believe it, I've put out 50 of these. As usual, before we begin, here's what's been happening in anime and manga. Although, once again Bleach and One Piece were on hiatus, so it's just Fairy Tail.
*Spoiler Alert*
Fairy Tail: Okay, I'm sorry, but seeing the big bad Avatar getting stomped is officially getting ridiculous. Erza one-shotted the supposedly infamous Jerome of the Dark Sword, and than Gray, Juvia and Lucy wipe out Briar and Mary. Now Natsu is about to go head to head with Arlock. And what the hell is this Ikusatsunagai? Ah well, good to see the whole gang back together, kicking ass and taking names.
*End Spoiler*
Now that that's over with, it's time for something very, very important.
Warning, the following is extremely important.
Raise your glasses in the air if you are reading this while having a drink, if not, just raise an invisible glass. I would like to propose a toast to 1000 reviews for the Fairy Tail Campaign of the Five Worlds War series. If somebody had told me it would get the response it did when I first started writing this, I would've honestly laughed at them. Never in my life did I expect this kind of a reaction. I am extremely humbled to have received this much of a reception without even reaching the one year anniversary and the 50th chapter, as I had gotten the 1000th review on Chapter 49. I would like to thank all of my loyal readers, who's support made this possible and Ryuzaki 007, who has become an invaluable friend and partner in this project. Most of all I would like to thank God for allowing me to have this great talent that I can put to use. Yes, I am a Christian, and I'll probably get some hate mail and flames for this (I'd appreciate it if you avoided that though). However, that is my belief and I'm sticking by it. I'm not going to sit here and preach, just give Him His due credit.
On a different note, in celebration of the 50th Chapter, I will be posting a poll. Everything will be explained in the actual poll. Furthermore, I have a request of all of you in preparations of a second poll I will add later. In your reviews, I would like you to not only say whatever it is you need to say, but also nominate your favorite battle up until this point. It doesn't matter how long or short it was, or who was involved in it. If it was your favorite that is all there is to it. Once I have looked over all the nominees, I will choose a certain amount that will make the cut, or just pick the ones who were nominated multiple times. From there, we will vote on what the best fight for the first 50 chapters was, so get thinking, folks.
On another different note, due to finals being next week, there is a 50/50 chance that I may not post the next chapter next week. I'll do what I can, but I make no promises. School work comes first after all.
Also, one more thing before we begin, I would like to wish a happy birthday to reader JadenCage, who has been a loyal reader and friend for a long time now, just like all of you have.
End Important Stuff
Now, I hope everyone enjoys the 50th chapter of the Fairy Tail Campaign.
Chapter 50: The Battle of Clover Town, The Immortal Duo
Rogue Cheney kept his shadow-covered katana pointed threateningly at Aaroniero Arurruerie as he studied his opponent, trying to come up with a strategy to fight him. Okay, Rogue thought, he fights with a trident, so his fighting style is going to be pretty simple. He blocks with the staff and attacks with jabs. Avoiding him will be pretty simple, considering that tridents are usually meant for tight battlefields.
Aaroniero grinned and swung Nejibana at Rogue, sending a wave of water at the Shadow Dragon Slayer. That's fast! Rogue's eyes widened.
Rogue quickly leapt away from the attack. "Oh, we're sorry," Aaroniero said mockingly, "did you think that this was going to be easy? We are an Espada, boy, this won't be easy for a mere human."
Aaroniero gestured to Nejibana. "This Zanpakutō is called Nejibana." He explained. "We got this after we absorbed a Hollow named Metastacia. As luck would have it, Metastacia had assimilated with a Soul Reaper Lieutenant named Kaien Shiba."
"What, that's not your own weapon?" Rogue was shocked.
"Oh no, our Zanpakutō is much different than this." Aaroniero replied. "Although, honestly, it was pretty surprising when we discovered that after Lord Konton brought us back, we still kept all the abilities we had absorbed over the years."
"All the abilities?" Rogue repeated.
"Indeed," Aaroniero smirked, "do not let our rank fool you, boy, we have the greatest power among the Espada. The power to evolve infinitely, the strongest power for the strongest Arrancar."
"And yet, you still needed to be brought back by Konton." Rogue pointed out. "Not so great, huh?"
Aaroniero frowned at this but managed to keep his composure. "We did die, yes. However, things have changed since than. For one thing, our own power is greater than it was before."
"Even better, thanks to the merging of the four universes, our abilities have expanded even more. Now, we can even absorb the powers of warriors like you."
Rogue narrowed his eyes at this. "You're going to try and take my powers, aren't you?"
Aaroniero laughed at this. "Indeed, the power of a Dragon Slayer would certainly be quite a welcome addition."
"Well, hate to disappoint you, but I'm going to have to pass on that." Rogue replied.
"You know, that's the thing." Aaroniero chuckled. "You don't have a choice in the matter."
With that, the two fighters leapt at one another, and shadow and water clashed together.
(Izuru Kira and Shūhei Hisagi vs. Hidan and Kakuzu)
Shūhei Hisagi was admittedly starting to get frustrated with his opponent. While he certainly had Kakuzu on the defensive, it was clear that Kakuzu was not taking him seriously. Even worse, Shūhei could not land a single hit on the guy. Every swing from Kazeshini had been blocked by Kakuzu's hardened arms.
"I must say," Kakuzu said, "when I had heard the Lieutenants of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads were among the strongest in Soul Society, I had expected more."
"To be perfectly honest," Kakuzu continued, "I find you rather disappointing."
Shūhei narrowed his eyes and managed to get a swing right through Kakuzu's throat, tearing it open in the process. "You shouldn't let your guard down like that, Akatsuki Scum!"
"Heh heh, unlike you, boy, I can afford to do just that." He heard Kakuzu reply.
Shūhei watched in horror as Kakuzu's throat stitched itself back together and closed up. "What the hell…"
"This is the power of my Earth Grudge." Kakuzu explained. "A forbidden Jutsu I stole after escaping from my detestable home."
Shūhei narrowed his eyes. "So, you've achieved your own form of immortality like your partner?"
"No one is immortal, kid." Kakuzu grinned behind his mask. "Also, I'd appreciate it if you didn't compare me to Hidan in any way. I actually find that to be incredibly insulting."
Kakuzu then threw a right hook at Shūhei, who managed to block the attack with Kazeshini, but was still pushed back several feet. Kakuzu then went on the offensive against Shūhei as he sped through a few Hand Signs. "Wind Style: Pressure Damage!"
Kakuzu blasted a large amount of air at Shūhei. "Aww crap," Shūhei muttered, keeping Kazeshini raised in the air.
The blast knocked Shūhei's arms back down to his sides and sent him flying to the edge of the roof.
Kakuzu ran towards Shūhei and went through some more Hand Signs. "Lightning Style: False Darkness!"
"Damn, Bakudō #39, Enkōsen!" Shūhei yelled, holding up one of his Kusarigama in front of him.
In front of Shūhei, a circle of yellow energy was generated; just in time to cancel out Kakuzu's False Darkness. However, the circle was shattered by the impact.
Shūhei then went on the offensive and flung his other Kusarigama at Kakuzu. Only for the eldest member of the Akatsuki to catch it, not minding the fact that it had dug into his hand.
"Oh boy," Shūhei muttered.
"Get over here!" Kakuzu yelled, pulling Shūhei towards him.
Shūhei cried out in surprise as he was suddenly yanked towards. He quickly recovered and raised his free Kusarigama in an attempt to catch Kakuzu by surprise. However, Kakuzu was faster and slammed down a hardened fist onto Shūhei's skull, driving him into the floor of the roof and creating a massive crater in the process.
Meanwhile, Izuru Kira noticed this and was rightfully worried. "Shūhei!" He yelled.
"Hey, don't take your eyes off me, jackass!" Hidan yelled, stabbing at him again with his spear.
Izuru quickly dodged the attack aimed at his midsection and tried touching it with Wabisuke, only for Hidan to show impressive reflexes and quickly pull it back. "Do you really think I'm going to let you do that to one of my weapons again, ass-wipe?" He inquired. "I may not be the smartest guy in the world, but even I know better than that."
Izuru narrowed his eyes at this. I need to take him out fast. He thought, taking another glance at Shūhei. Shūhei needs my help.
Hidan noticed this and smirked. "Still concerned for your boyfriend, gay-boy?"
Izuru glared at Hidan for that last comment. "Look, Kakuzu may be an annoying old bastard, but I'd be dumb not to admit that he's strong. Let's face it, he's leagues ahead of that guy."
"Look, honestly, your friend's fate is sealed against Kakuzu, so you might as well devote all your attention to me, otherwise your gonna join him a lot sooner than you probably want to."
"Don't you want to kill me?" Izuru raised an eyebrow at this.
"Oh, I didn't say that you would get that much time by focusing on me." Hidan smirked.
"You know, the way I see it is that this story can have a different ending." Izuru told him. "I cut your head off and then I stop your partner from stitching you back together a second time."
"See, there's a small problem with your logic, dumb ass." Hidan told him. "There is only one way this ends: You crying for mercy like a total bitch."
"Unfortunately you'll get no mercy from me. Mercy is a sin in the eyes of Jashin. No, the only way to please him is to slaughter your stupid blonde ass."
"Make all the smug announcements you want, but as far as I can tell, your Jashin isn't the god your in the presence of right now. You're in the presence of a real god, a Soul Reaper, a god of death."
Izuru Flash Stepped towards Hidan, who raised his spear instinctively in front of his place. Surprisingly, however, Izuru hooked Wabisuke around one of his legs. "Now bow." Izuru deadpanned.
Hidan's eyes widened as he pulled his leg in the air just as Izuru pulled Wabisuke back. Dammit! Izuru thought in frustration. So close!
"Gotcha bitch!" Hidan yelled, driving his spear forward.
Izuru moved to the side, but was still grazed by the spear. Hidan smirked at this. He had him right where he wanted him.
Hidan placed his hands in one of the still bleeding wounds from where he had been stabbed earlier, coating his free hand in blood. "Dammit, that hurts." Hidan groaned.
"Than why are you doing it?" Izuru sweat-dropped.
"Oh, trust me, Blondie. This pain is nothing compared to what I am about to to do to you." Hidan promised him.
Hidan then quickly drew the symbol of Jashin on the ground in front of him. Izuru narrowed his eyes and raised Wabisuke threateningly as Hidan ingested the blood that had gotten on his spear.
Izuru watched in shock and horror as Hidan's skin turned black with white markings. He now looked like a skeleton.
Hidan stepped into the circle and grinned. "Alright than, let's get this started. Prepare to feel Jashin's judgement."
Izuru raised his free hand. "If cutting you to pieces won't work, than I'll just try burning you to ashes before this Jashin can strike me down."
Hidan smirked. "Go ahead and try, you won't like the results."
"Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bones, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws!" Izuru chanted. "Hadō #33, Sōkatsui!"
Hidan smirked as the blue fireball shot towards him. Suffer with me. He thought darkly.
Hidan allowed himself to get struck by the fireball. Izuru suddenly cried out in pain as he felt his body get burnt all over. Burn marks appeared all over his body.
A barely conscious Shūhei was hoisted into the air by Kakuzu. Shūhei noticed his comrade's distress. "I-zu-ru." He barely managed to get out.
Kakuzu sighed in relief. "Good, Hidan's ritual has started. That means this is almost over."
Kakuzu looked at Shūhei. "Now, what to do with you? I suppose taking your heart would be appropriate, considering that you seemed hellbent on taking mine by stabbing me and cutting me open."
The smoke cleared, and Hidan stood in the circle with almost identical burn marks as Izuru. "I don't understand." Izuru gritted his teeth, still in pain. "Why am I hurt as well?"
"This is the power of my Death Possession Blood." Hidan explained. "By creating the symbol of the mighty Jashin and ingesting the blood of my chosen victim, I can create a link between the two of us that allows us to share our pain."
Hidan raised his spear. "Observe!" He yelled, driving his spear into his leg.
Izuru's eyes widened as he screamed in pain, feeling his leg get stabbed without it actually happening. He collapsed to one knee. "And there goes your leg." Hidan grinned maniacally. "Isn't this fun already?"
"And now, let's see how you like getting stabbed in the gut!" Hidan yelled, stabbing himself in the gut.
Izuru coughed up blood as he felt his gut get stabbed too. Hidan laughed maniacally. "Isn't this fun, Blondie?" He inquired mockingly. "You and me, sharing our pain with each other."
Hidan drove his fingers inside of his wound and twisted them around. Izuru cried out as he felt exactly what Hidan felt. "There is nothing more powerful in this world than pain." Hidan mused. "It drives us like nothing else. That is what makes Jashin strong. It falls right in with Jashin's most important saying: 'Pain is might, might is right.' If you hate someone, you hurt them because you want to cause them pain. Not only that, but that pain allows you to dominate them, it makes you stronger than ever!"
Hidan aimed his spear at his heart. "And now, it is time for you to feel the ultimate pain. The kind of pain that will show you mine and Jashin's eternal superiority over losers like you!"
Before Hidan could do so, however, the ground beneath him started to crack. "What the hell?" He cried out in surprise.
Kakuzu was admittedly surprised as well. "What is happening?" He wondered.
Hidan and Kakuzu both leapt away, with Kakuzu holding onto Shūhei as the building started to collapse. Before Izuru could fall through, a figure leapt onto the building, grabbed hold of him, and leapt away.
Hidan and Kakuzu landed on the ground. "Okay, what the hell was that all about?" Kakuzu wondered.
"I don't know, but whoever did that is dead!" Hidan yelled. "How dare he interrupt my ritual?! Now I have to start over again now that the circle has been destroyed!"
Kakuzu then noticed a large man standing in front of the rubble. Another large man carrying Izuru landed next to his compatriot. "I believe we've found our culprits, Hidan."
"Good thinking Bro, catching them by surprise like that. Too bad they didn't die." Vice Head of the Happo Navy, Boo grinned.
"Probably better that way." Happo Navy Head, Don Sai shrugged. "We took a real risk with Izuru and Shūhei's safety, I'd rather not do it again if we have to."
"Who the hell are these two asshats?" Hidan growled in anger. "Are they seriously the ones who interrupted my ritual?"
"Do you see anyone else?" Kakuzu inquired, tossing Shūhei away.
The old Rogue Shinobi was now grinning under his mask. "Happo Navy Head, Don Sai and Vice Head Boo." Kakuzu gestured to both of them. "My, my, the Marines have quite the bounties on your heads, you know that? Nowhere near your grandfather's, but still very impressive."
"Even if you are our enemy, I suppose I can thank you for that compliment." Sai said, putting Izuru down. "We view our bounties as an accomplishment, a sense of pride."
"Really? Than I suppose saying that I will be taking both of you in dead or alive for the Marines will be a problem?" Kakuzu inquired sarcastically.
"What do you think you old geezer?" Boo slammed his fist together.
"Don't underestimate these two, Hidan." Kakuzu told him. "They are much stronger than these two Lieutenants."
"Well yeah, one of them did bring down a building." Hidan walked over to the rubble.
"Hidan, what are you doing?" Kakuzu inquired.
"Getting my scythe, what does it look like I'm doing?" Hidan retorted in annoyance.
"Did you forget that that thing became too heavy for you thanks to the blonde Soul Reaper?" Kakuzu reminded him.
"Yeah, but I'm not just gonna leave it. I'd be dishonoring Jashin if I allowed one of my weapons of slaughter to fall into the wrong hands."
Kakuzu rolled his eyes. "Ugh, you are impossible."
"And you are a damn jackass heretic with no respect for other people's beliefs!" Hidan yelled at him as he managed to find his scythe in the rubble.
"I have no time for religious beliefs." Kakuzu said dismissively. "They don't make me money."
"That being said, need I remind you that Lord Konton is pretty much a god, along with his brother? And if that's the case, doesn't that mean your Jashin doesn't even exist?" Kakuzu taunted.
Hidan narrowed his eyes at this. "You take that back, asshat!" Hidan yelled leaping at him with his scythe.
Kakuzu sighed and blocked Hidan's strike with his Iron Skin. "Well, it appears you can wield your scythe again." He stated casually.
Hidan blinked in surprise. "Huh, you're right, I can."
Hidan looked over at Izuru, who was completely unconscious. "I guess when the blonde bastard lost consciousness, the effects of that weirdly-shaped sword wore off."
"Are you two done?" Sai asked, now annoyed with the two.
"Oh, not as done as you two are." Hidan taunted. "Now tell me, which one of you shattered the building?"
"Totally me." Boo raised his hand, grinning. "Used my Impact Fist to do it."
Hidan glared at the grinning fool. "I'm gonna kill you, jackass. You're going to take that blonde bastard's place in my ritual."
"Bring it," Boo raised his arms up, "I'll take you on."
"Oh no, you are not fighting him." Sai stopped his brother.
"What? Why, Bro?" Boo was surprised.
"Look at his weapon." Sai gestured to him. "Your axes don't have the range to match him. It's better that I fight him. I'm a better match for him."
"Screw that, I want to fight your little brother." Hidan growled at Sai. "That little bastard interrupted my ritual. I'm gonna straight up murder his ass and sacrifice him to Jashin!"
"If you want to fight Boo than fight me first. If you do fight me though, I'll leave you in a state where fighting him would be a terrible idea." Sai told him.
"I can't believe we're actually arguing over who fights who." Kakuzu said in disbelief.
"Why you…"
"Hidan, just fight the Don first." Kakuzu said sharply, finally losing his patience.
"Piss off, old man, you can't tell me what to do!" Hidan yelled in anger.
"If you fight the Don first, you can put him through your ritual as well. Than, you can have his brother. Those are two men you get to kill through you ritual, Hidan, doesn't that sound appealing to you?"
Hidan's eyes widened. "Two?" He repeated.
"Yes, Hidan, two." Kakuzu told him.
"That's a load of crap, we both know that you'll kill the guy who brought the building down long after I take the Don out."
"No, Hidan, he won't be." Kakuzu claimed.
"He won't?" Hidan raised an eyebrow.
"Hidan, if it'll get you to stop complaining, I promise I'll keep him alive long enough for you to put him through your ritual as well." Kakuzu promised.
Hidan looked at his partner, trying to find a lie in his words. Seeing none, he grinned. "Well, Jashin be praised, you're not so bad after all."
"Yeah, yeah, Jashin be praised indeed." Kakuzu said quickly, desperate to shut his annoying partner up. "Now can we please get started already?"
"Yeah, sure we can." Hidan smirked. "Let the blood flow in the name of Jashin! Grant your humble servant a good kill!"
With that, the Immortal Duo charged Sai and Boo. "Boo, be careful, that masked one is much stronger than his partner. I can tell just by looking at them." Sai gripped his bladed pole-arm.
"No problem, Bro." Boo smirked. "I'll smash him up real good for Izuru and Shūhei."
With that, the two brother's separated and attacked the two members of the Akatsuki. Sai and Hidan's weapons immediately collided. Hidan grinned maniacally while Sai kept a deadpan expression on his face.
Meanwhile, Boo kept his elbow up while Kakuzu through a punch coated in Iron Skin at him. "Military Elbow: Shield!" Boo yelled, as the two limbs collided.
Kakuzu could feel the vibrations coming from Boo's elbow. He then gasped in surprise as his Iron Skin suddenly shattered. "What?"
"The vibrations of the Impact Fist cannot be blocked." Boo grinned. "You just attacked yourself with the vibrations of your own attack."
"Dammit." Kakuzu growled, pulling his arm back.
Boo threw his other elbow forward. "Military Elbow!" He yelled.
Kakuzu cried out in surprise as he was struck in the chest by Boo's attack, feeling the vibrations course through his body.
Kakuzu panted, feeling the pain course through his body. "Heh, guess you've underestimate me." Boo grinned.
"What, do you think that one attack means I've underestimate you?" Kakuzu glared at him. "Oh no, there's a big difference between underestimating your opponent and having a lack of understanding for your opponents fighting style, boy. Unfortunately for you, I've already figured yours out. Defeating you will be far too simple now."
Still, that attack almost wiped out my heart. The bastard got me right in the chest. Kakuzu thought to himself. It looks like I'm going to need to fight with ranged techniques from now on.
"For one thing, while your techniques are devastating, they are severely limited by range, unlike me!" Kakuzu pointed out, leaping back and doing some Hand Signs.
"Fire Style: Searing Migraine!" Kakuzu yelled, breathing out a torrent of fire at Boo.
"Aww crap," Boo muttered, dodging the attack.
"Furthermore," Kakuzu continued, "you are severely limited as to how you can defend. You may have defended from my Iron Skin, but do you have anything to defend against my other attacks!"
"Lightning Style: False Darkness!" Kakuzu yelled.
Boo ducked under the lightning bolt. "Military Elbow: Earthquake!" Boo yelled, slamming his elbow into the ground.
Kakuzu gasped as he suddenly lost his balance, feeling the ground crack beneath his feet.
Boo straightened up again and charged Kakuzu. "Military Elbow!"
"Damn!" Kakuzu yelled in frustration as he was struck again.
Boo grinned. "Gotcha!" He yelled, colliding with Kakuzu's chest again.
Kakuzu gasped in pain at the collision. Boo's grin, however, was short-lived, as Kakuzu suddenly burst into water. "A clone?"
"Fire Style: Searing Migraine!" He head Kakuzu yell.
Boo gasped in surprise as another torrent of fire came streaming down towards him. Boo barely leapt away from the attack.
Meanwhile, Sai and Hidan continued to clash together. While Hidan kept up his maniacal grin, Sai kept a deadpan expression, trying to find holes in Hidan's fighting style. There were several. Hidan left an opening with almost every swing he took.
After swinging his scythe straight at Sai's neck, Sai ducked under the attack and swung the blade at the tip of his pole at Hidan's throat, cutting it open. Much to Sai's surprise, Hidan's grin remained on his face.
"That hurt, jackass." Hidan grinned, "now, why don't I hurt you in return?"
Hidan turned his scythe 90 degrees downwards. "Feel the pain, bitch!" He yelled, driving his scythe downwards.
Sai quickly blocked the attack with the pole, inches away from his skin. Hidan gritted his teeth in frustration at this. He certainly has reflexes. Hidan noted.
"Military Leg!" Sai yelled, coating his leg in Armament Haki and kicking Hidan in the stomach. Hidan gasped in pain and coughed up blood at this.
"You son of a bitch." Hidan growled.
Hidan brought his retractable spear out and stabbed forward. Sai managed to leap back and dodge the attack.
"You're a bit too fast, you know that?" Hidan said in annoyance. "That Soul Reaper had an excuse, he had that weird technique called Flash Step. You don't, so stop being so fast and let me get some of your blood!"
"Yeah, you know, that's really not going to do it for me." Sai deadpanned. "So, yeah, I'm not going to give you my blood."
Hidan narrowed his eyes and charged forward swinging his scythe horizontally at Sai. Sai kept up his deadpan expression as he dug the blade of his pole into the ground and vaulted himself into the air. The scythe collided with the pole, but it did not budge, much to Hidan's surprise. "No freaking way…" He muttered.
"Impacts Fist Secret Technique," Sai yelled, coating his leg in Armament Haki once again.
Hidan looked up to see Sai slamming his leg downwards on Hidan's head. "Drill Dragon Nail!"
Hidan gasped in pain as the shockwave destroyed the area behind him, flooring him instantly. Sai, meanwhile planted himself back on the ground again. "As Head of the Happo Navy, I cannot allow threats against my subordinates and my family to go unpunished. You dug your own grave the minute you threatened my second in command and brother, Akatsuki." Sai declared.
Meanwhile, Kakuzu and Boo continued to clash, with Kakuzu sending wave after wave of of long ranged attacks at the Vice Head of the Happo Navy. "He's deceptively quick for a large one." Kakuzu noted. "If I don't take him out soon…"
"Military Elbow: Earthquake!" Boo slammed his elbow into the ground again.
This time, Kakuzu was ready and leapt into the air. "This time, I think you should stay down like that." Kakuzu yelled, speeding through some Hand Signs. "Wind Style: Pressure Damage!"
"Aww crap." Boo raised his free elbow.
The impact, however, still slammed Boo to the ground. Kakuzu, meanwhile, landed gracefully and did some more Hand Signs. "Lightning Style: False Darkness!"
Boo, however, managed to recover and this time brought out his axes. Using the axes, he successfully blocked the lightning by coating them with Armamanet Haki. "Ah, so that's what Haki looks like." Kakuzu mused.
Kakuzu started to remove his Akatsuki cloak. "Since you've finally decided to get serious, why don't I do the same?"
Just as Kakuzu removed the cloak, however, a new voice spoke up. "Drill Dragon Nail!"
Kakuzu looked off to the side just as he was impaled in the heart by a long and pointy head of all things, driving him into a building in the process. Boo's eyes widened in shock. "Gramps?" He was honestly surprised, the trio had separated to cover more ground, although Boo had insisted on going with Sai.
"Boo, you fool, even with your Haki, fighting a man who can easily fight at long-range is foolish for an Impact Fist Master."
"Ah, sorry Gramps."
"Never mind, I've got this one, he's a dead man anyway." Chinjao declared, whipping his head around and sending Kakuzu's body flying away, landing on the ground unnoticed.
Meanwhile, Sai looked off to the side just as Chinjao had entered the battlefield. "Huh, so Gramps decided to enter the fray too, huh? Guess this battle is over than."
"Yeah, for you."
Sai's eyes widened at the familiarity of the voice. He then cried out in pain as the blades of the scythe were suddenly dug into his leg. "Since you take so much pride in that leg of yours, heathen, I'm going to take it away from you in the name of Jashin!" Blood came out of Hidan's mouth as he talked, but he was okay.
Sai glared at his opponent but stabbed downwards, only for Hidan to move backwards and create some distance between the two. "How the hell did you survive my Drill Dragon Nail?!" Sai inquired angrily. "An attack with that much force should've put you out of commission!"
"Oh trust me, it hurt like hell." Hidan admitted. "But the thing is, no matter how hard you hit me, you'll never stop me."
"Because the thing is," Hidan continued, "I'm immortal."
"Immortal?"
"Indeed," Hidan grinned as he drew his circle, "you see I am the result of several successful experiments in the name of Jashin. Five years ago, after slaughtering my neighbors and fleeing my village, I joined the Cult of Jashin, where I soon found the place I belonged amongst those who understood the reality of Ninja; that we exist to slaughter our enemies and nothing more. My belief in Jashin was so great, that within a year of joining, the High Priest, my mentor, granted me the honor of going through experiments that only he survived, which had ultimately earned him his place as the High Priest of Jashin."
Hidan ingested Sai's blood and stepped into the circle. "I survived the experiments, and while this made me the ideal successor to the position of High Priest, I knew that if I took a job like that, I could not carry out Jashin's work. So, I decided to strike out on my own instead, going around killing anyone I came across in the name of Jashin."
"I eventually came across the Akatsuki, where I eventually discovered yet another pioneer in immortality: The old bastard who is now my partner. While I was out slaughtering hundreds of men and women in the name of Jashin I was eventually set upon by two members of the Akatsuki. They wanted me to join, but I had no interest."
"Unfortunately," Hidan continued, "they insisted and started to attack me, trying to recruit me by force. During that battle, I was introduced to Kakuzu. There, I realized he had his own version of immortality. Much to my frustration, together, even I had difficulty fighting the both of them."
"Oh, that was a painful day my friend," Hidan admitted, taking out his retractable spear, "but let me tell you, it was all worth it. Granted, I wish someone had told me Kakuzu was a total bastard, but it was still worth it! Now, my mission to drown the world in blood has expanded across the entire universe. The ultimate undertaking for a true follower of Jashin!"
"I may have had my ritual interrupted before," Hidan said, "but you will be the first to fall in my noble conquest!"
With that, Hidan stabbed himself in the leg. Sai screamed as he felt the exact pain Hidan felt. Hidan cackled as he continued stabbing himself in the leg. "I told you, I'm going to take that leg away from you!" Hidan reminded him as he continued stabbing himself. "It's a fair price to pay after that kick you gave me. Remember, it did still hurt like a son of a bitch!"
Sai's screams drew the attention of Boo and Chinjao. "Sai!" Chinjao yelled in worry.
"Bro!" Boo added.
They then heard the sound of movement where Kakuzu's body was. A giant black creature suddenly came out of a brown mask and implanted itself where Kakuzu's heart used to be. Much to Chinjao and Sai's horror, the Akatsuki member than got to his feet, groaning slightly as the wound closed.
"Impossible." Chinjao muttered.
"Ugh, so I lost one of my hearts in this battle after all, huh?" Kakuzu muttered in annoyance.
Kakuzu grinned maniacally when he saw Chinjao. "Well, well, former Happo Navy Head, Don Chinjao, it appears my day keeps getting better and better." He said, genuinely happy. "A veteran pirate with a bounty of over 500,000,000! Honestly if weren't for the fact that I have no interest in retiring because I want all of the money out there, I would retire after claiming a bounty like yours. After all, did you know the Marines still really want you brought to them? You did embarrass them when you survived an encounter with Monkey D. Garp."
Chinjao narrowed his eyes at this. "Anyone who can survive Garp the Hero is nothing more than a blemish on the Marines." Kakuzu told him. "You cannot be allowed to live for their sake, and the sake of my wallet."
Chinjao and Boo watched in horror as three giant black creatures came out of three other masks in Kakuzu's body. Two then attached to his body while the other remained by his side.
Regaining his composure, Chinjao glared at Kakuzu, but addressed Boo next. "Boo, go and aid your brother."
"But what about you, Gramps?" Boo asked worriedly.
"Sai needs your help more than I do, now go!" Chinjao yelled.
Boo nodded and ran to help Sai. "Kill him." Kakuzu ordered the monster next to him.
The beast flew at Boo and prepared to attack him, only to be punched away by Chinjao. "I won't let you get near my grandsons." Chinjao threatened him.
"All of your bounties belong to me in the end, Chinjao." Kakuzu told him. "I'm fine collecting them in any order."
"Military Head!" Chinjao stabbed at Kakuzu with his head.
Kakuzu leapt into the air along with the other two masked creatures. "Fire!" He commanded, as they fired a blast of wind and fire at Chinjao.
Chinjao's eyes widened as the two attacks combined for an even bigger attack than usual. Due to his advanced age and size, Chinjao was not fast enough to dodge the attack and was forced to take the full brunt of it.
Kakuzu landed on the ground. The two masked creatures, along with the one that had attacked Boo earlier, soon joined him.
"My, my, your age is showing, Chinjao." Kakuzu noted. "I must say, compared to my fight with the First Hokage, this has been a disappointment so far."
"The First Hokage?" Chinjao repeated. "If Tsunade is the Fifth, than how old are you?"
Kakuzu chuckled. "91, Chinjao." He admitted. "I was young at the time I was sent to assassinate the First Hokage, but I was still an elite Ninja of my former home, the Village Hidden in the Waterfall. My abilities even surpassed that of the village leader, a damn fool who hid behind his status. In the end, it wasn't just my failed mission that cost me my own status in Waterfall, it was that bastard's jealousy and fear of me overtaking him one day."
"As much as I would like to sympathize with you for being betrayed by your comrades like that," Chinjao admitted, "I cannot forgive someone who harms my precious grandsons."
"Doesn't matter to me," Kakuzu shrugged. "I'll take your bounty regardless."
Damn, Chinjao thought, and he still fights like he's in his prime, unlike myself. Must have something to do with those creatures nearby. One of them went inside where his heart used to be and now he's back up and running again like I never impaled him.
Chinjao prepared for battle again. Whatever the secret behind his own immortality is, I need to defeat him regardless. I cannot allow myself to lose to a man like this. I cannot die without having left a better world for my grandsons to lead the Happo Navy through.
Kakuzu chuckled. "I can see you shaking on your feet in exhaustion Chinjao." He noted. "Look at yourself, a man once worth every beri his bounty had. Now, you're nothing more than a shell of your former self."
"Maybe I am," Chinjao freely admitted, "but I still have plenty to offer to the young in this world. And I'll show it by defeating you, Akatsuki Scum."
"Well, you certainly have the spirit of a man worth over half a billion." Kakuzu noted with a touch of admiration. "Yes, I'm going to enjoy this."
Meanwhile, Sai and Hidan's leg were both bleeding profusely. Hidan cackled maniacally at Sai's situation. "What did I tell you, jackass? What did I say I was gonna do? I promised to take your leg away, and I never break a promise of pain!"
"Piss off you psycho priest." Sai growled defiantly.
"Oh, what's that?" Hidan smirked. "I'm sorry, all I'm hearing is 'please torture me more, oh mighty Hidan. Torture me in the name of Jashin!'"
"Well, as much as I would love to," Hidan continued, "I did promise Kakuzu that I wouldn't take too long. There is a war to keep fighting after all. I've got places to go, more people to torture and kill in the name of Jashin."
Hidan aimed his spear at his heart once more. "Time to die!" He screamed.
"Military Elbow!"
"Huh?"
Hidan cried out in surprise as he was suddenly elbowed out of his circle once more. Sai did the same as he felt the impact from the sudden attack.
Boo grinned at his success. "Sorry, but I'm not letting you take my brother away from me, sucker!"
Boo looked over at his brother. "Don't worry, Bro, I'm here to save you."
Boo's eyes widened when he saw Sai's unconscious body. "Bro, what happened?!" Boo screamed in shock. "You weren't like that when I was coming to save you!"
"You did that to him you jackass!" Hidan yelled, now fully recovered form Boo's attack.
"Which is fine by me, by the way." Hidan continued, now glaring at Boo angrily. "You've interrupted my ritual twice now, fat boy."
"I have to say, I haven't been this pissed off in a long time." Hidan admitted. "Most people don't ever interrupt my ritual, I've usually killed them by than. Even the ones who have interrupted my ritual only do so once before end up dying shortly after."
"Than there's you, fat-ass." Hidan growled. "You've actually interrupted my ritual twice. Nobody has interrupted my ritual twice, except for that pineapple-haired jackass that blew me to bits! And I swear to Jashin after I make you suffer in the worst way possible for doing this to me, I'm going to hunt that little bastard down and kill him as well!"
Boo grinned and put up his elbows. "You can try, psycho bastard."
(Love Aikawa vs. Caesar Clown)
Despite the clear disadvantage he was faced with at the moment, Caesar Clown still felt good about the fight he was currently engaged in. This new opponent of his, Love Aikawa, was certainly a lot stronger than the previous two opponents he had faced. Also, that Zanpakutō of his, he believed it was called Tengumaru, was certainly troublesome because it used fire, his natural enemy.
However, Caesar had surrounded himself with a perfect defense: Land of Nothing. He had created a vacuum that could protect him from the flames and keep Love from getting to close.
This looked like it frustrated Love. He sighed in annoyance. "I guess you're not going to get out of this place you've got protecting yourself if I ask you, right?" Love inquired.
Caesar grinned. "Of course not!" He yelled. "Do you think I'd dirty my hands fighting trash like you directly?"
"You had no problem doing that before." Love pointed out.
Caesar glared at him. "Silence!" He yelled. "I did that to humor you, you damned ape!"
Love sighed. "You know, all that bravado of yours is just taking away whatever mercy I might've showed you. So I'm going to have to crush you now."
With that, Love vanished with Flash Step. Caesar's eyes widened. "Where did he go?!" He wondered.
"Up here!" He heard Love yell above him. "Hifuki no Kodochi!"
Caesar looked up to see a giant fireball coming down towards him. His eyes widened to an extremely comical state as he screamed in horror at his current situation. The fireball collided creating a massive explosion, indicating that upon colliding with Caesar, the technique had been cancelled out.
As the smoke and fire cleared, Love looked down at a battered Caesar. "How?" Caesar demanded. "How did you know?"
"It was actually pretty easy to figure out." Love admitted. "For one thing, how could you possibly remove all the oxygen without hurting yourself in the process? That was my first clue that something was up."
"Than I remembered that a Soul Reaper Captain by the name of Byakuya Kuchiki has a safe zone of sorts for his Zanpakutō that he uses so he can't get caught in his own attacks. Thinking about that, I started to wonder if your technique had the same reason."
Love grinned. "Guess I was right."
"So than all those attacks earlier were…"
"I was trying to find structural weaknesses." Love admitted. "Above you was my final test. I don't waste attacks, buddy. I'm not arrogant like you."
"Speaking of not wasting attacks," Love coated Tengumaru in fire again. "I think I better hit you with another so my last one can still mean something."
(Renji Abarai vs. Ivan Dreyar)
A stalemate was definitely the best way to describe the current fight Renji was in. It had become a very simple routine. Ivan would send a wave of Shikigami at Renji, and Renji would block it with ease. Paper vs. Sword, of course Renji was going to be able to block it with ease. Despite this, however, Renji was unable to land his own hit on Ivan.
Renji had unfortunately discovered that Ivan was also a user of Illusion Magic, and it had allowed Ivan to avoid Renji's attacks with ease.
Renji watched in annoyance as several copies of Ivan suddenly surrounded him. "Well, this is already getting annoying." Renji noted.
"What's wrong, Soul Reaper, finished already?" The Ivan's taunted. "I understand, my illusions are powerful enough to even fool the strongest wizards. As long as my illusion is up, you can neither see nor hear the real me."
Damn, Renji thought, this guy may go for Flare while I'm trying to get my crap together for all I know.
Renji took a deep threat, collecting his thoughts and concentrating. Neither see nor hear, huh? He repeated to himself. That is quite the illusion, that being said…
The real Ivan appeared behind Renji and sent several Shikigami at him that were meant to explode in Darkness Magic that would severely damage Renji. Ivan smirked confidently, thinking he had won.
However, Ivan's smirk was instantly wiped away when Renji spun around and swung Zabimaru at him, breaking right through the Shikigami and cutting Ivan in the stomach.
Ivan gasped in pain as he clutched his bleeding stomach. "Impossible…" he gasped. "…That's impossible."
"An illusion that screws with your sight and smell, huh?" Renji grinned. "That's all well and good, pal, but I've faced illusions even more terrifying than that."
(With Monkey D. Luffy, Hinata and Hiashi Hyūga)
As Luffy, Hinata, and Hiashi continued to charge through Clover, with Luffy leading the way with his fists, Luffy soon noticed something up ahead. While he could not see much, there was something that still stuck out to him, something very familiar to him.
Hinata and Hiashi both stopped to look at Luffy in confusion. "Luffy, what's wrong?" Hinata inquired curiously.
"Straw Hat this really isn't the time." Hiashi pointed out. "We're in the middle of a war."
"Hey, Hinata, could you use your cool eyes to check out that area up ahead?" Luffy requested.
"Umm, sure." Hinata was somewhat confused.
"Byakugan!"
Hinata looked ahead and her eyes widened. "The Chinjao Family!" She yelled. "They're in trouble!"
Luffy gasped. "What? Grandpa Pointy is in trouble?"
"They're fighting two members of the Akatsuki, it's not going well." Hinata admitted grimly.
Luffy nodded, folding his arms. "Okay than, we're going to help them."
"Huh? But Luffy, they're so far away. Even with the speed of a Ninja I doubt we would get their in time."
Luffy grinned and stretched his arms out, grabbing onto two buildings. He then walked past her, stretching his arms back further. "Oh don't worry, we're gonna make it."
Hinata looked at the two arms. Her eyes than widened as she realized. "Ah, wait Luffy let me get out of the way first!"
"Gum Gum," Luffy grinned, "Rocket!"
Hinata screamed in fear as she was swept up by Luffy into the air. Hiashi, while normally an emotionless man, could not keep up the facade as he watched his daughter get swept away by Luffy. "STRAW HAT I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" He screamed comically.
(Meanwhile)
Kakuzu stood over a battered Chinjao, who was still defiantly standing on his feet despite everything. "Not that this hasn't been fun, Chinjao." Kakuzu admitted. "But I think it's time we end this."
"Yes, I agree!" Chinjao yelled, summoning the last of his reserves. "Drill Dragon Nail!"
Kakuzu leapt into the air and dodged Chinjao's attack. "Unlike my world, the Marines seem to have no problem with paying for bounties that are alive." He mused.
The three masked creatures all combined and fired one final combined blast at Chinjao. Chinjao closed his eyes and braced himself for the impact, coating as much of his body as he could with Armament Haki, as his age made it rather difficult. The sad truth of his Drill Dragon Nail was that if an enemy were to dodge the attack, he would be left wide open for a counter.
The attack struck Chinjao, creating a massive explosion and flooring the former Head of the Happo Navy.
Kakuzu landed. "However," he said, "back in my world, the bounties are always meant to be dead. To be honest, I prefer it that way."
Kakuzu walked over to the defeated giant of a man. "Dead bounties don't put up a fight when I'm turning them in."
"The only question is, how am I going to finish you off." Kakuzu wondered. "Normally I'd try and take one of your hearts, but your heart is so weak I doubt it would do much for me."
Boo, meanwhile, had fallen victim to Hidan's curse rather quickly. The sad truth of the matter in Boo's case was that he just was not as strong as his brother, and all Hidan needed to beat even the strongest enemies was a little drop of their blood to ingest.
"Yes, that's right, suffer fat-ass!" Hidan yelled. "Suffer like your brother; suffer like the Soul Reaper; suffer for Jashin!"
"HEY, STOP HURTING MY FRIENDS!"
"Ugh, now what?" Hidan groaned.
"GUM GUM BELL!" Suddenly, Hidan was head-butted out of nowhere by a head that had stretched a great distance.
Hidan gasped as he stumbled out of the circle. Boo did the same as he felt the full force of the attack in his head. "Oh," he groaned, "so this is how my Bro felt."
With that, Boo fell onto his back.
Hidan growled in anger. "Dammit, why the freaking hell do people keep interrupting my rituals?! All I want is to sacrifice a bunch of enemies to Jashin! Is that too much to ask?!"
"Apparently it is." Kakuzu folded his arm. "Now, let's see who's interrupted us this time."
Kakuzu's eyes then widened in shock. "It can't be…"
Hidan looked at Kakuzu in surprise. "Hey, Kakuzu, what's got you so surprised?"
"Just take a look at who our new opponent is, Hidan." Kakuzu pointed at the new challenger.
"I probably should," Hidan admitted, "the little bastard is a dead man for interrupting my ritual. I might as well take a look at the face of my new victim."
Hidan then gasped when he saw. When he had been attacked and hit so hard, he had expected his attacker to be a bit more…well intimidating. It was just a kid, really, probably a few years younger than him. Not only that, but there was a girl next to him who looked absolutely shaken up.
"You…you're…"
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!"
Kakuzu could not believe his luck. "Straw Hat Luffy, one of the most infamous pirates currently active in the Pirate World, one of the Four Acts of Order, and the son of Allied Forces Supreme Commander Monkey D. Dragon. An extremely powerful pirate with a bounty of 400,000,000 Beri's. Not only that, but Fleet Admiral Sakazuki really wants him dead for that last part."
"No kidding? You know I have to say, I expected a man worth 400,000,000 to look a bit more intimidating. I mean that Chinjao guy may have been an old fart, but he still looked the part of a man worth half a billion." Hidan noted.
"Don't underestimate this boy, Hidan." Kakuzu smirked. "400,000,000 is nothing to just brush aside."
"Any man who does enough to warrant such a high bounty is a powerful opponent." Kakuzu told him. "Not that it matters, any one worth that much, along with the infamy Straw Hat has amongst the Marines and Lord Konton himself may just gain me more than that 400,000,000 bounty."
Kakuzu grinned as the Lightning Mask charged Luffy. "Now stand still, Straw Hat. I'm going to wipe you out!"
The Lightning Mask fired a bolt of lightning at Luffy and Hinata. Luffy narrowed his eyes and stood in front of Hinata. "Luffy!" Hinata yelled.
Kakuzu watched as Luffy took the full brunt of his Lightning Mask's False Darkness attack. He's certainly gutsy, but rather stupid as well. Why would he take the full force of a lightning bolt like that instead of dodging though?
Kakuzu's eyes than widened. Wait! His Devil Fruit powers!
Luffy grinned. "That won't work on me."
Hidan gasped. "No way, he shrugged off the False Darkness Jutsu?!"
"I'm made of rubber, lightning won't work on me!" Luffy explained to them. "Now, I'm gonna make you pay for hurting Grandpa Pointy and everyone else!"
"Third Gear!"
Kakuzu and Hidan watched as Luffy's hand inflated. Hinata watched this in amazement. "Gum Gum," Luffy pulled his giant fist back, "Giant Pistol!"
The Lightning Mask had no time to dodge as it was slammed into the ground by Luffy's attack, destroying it instantly.
Hidan gasped at this. "No freaking way!" He yelled. "He wiped out Kakuzu's Lightning Mask without breaking a sweat!"
Kakuzu narrowed his eyes. So, he thought, this is the power of a man worth every Beri.
The Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy!
Omake: 50th Chapter Celebration
"Cheers!"
Everyone smiled as they raised a beverage of some sort into the air. Work was finished, and it was now time for celebration. What were they celebrating? Why, the 50th chapter of course!
Chitsujo smiled as he addressed the massive crowd. "ND regrets being unable to join us tonight, but he sends his best to all of us; and he would like for me to deliver a simple message to you all!"
"'Tonight, is your night! Eat, drink and be merry!'"
Ichigo Kurosaki grinned at his three new friends as he downed his drink. "Damn, can you believe it? We've made 50 chapters."
"That is quite the milestone." Naruto Uzumaki admitted. "Makes me wonder if we can reach a hundred before we finish up with this campaign."
"50! 50! 50!" Natsu Dragneel and Monkey D. Luffy chanted as they downed their drinks together.
"You know, now that I think of it, Ichigo, I'm actually surprised that you're not the least bit pissed off about the way things are going." Naruto admitted. "I mean, you haven't exactly had much of a role since the Worth Woodsea, and even than you didn't do much. You just got into a stalemate with Midnight. Compare that to what me and Natsu did; and even what Luffy is doing right now, what you've done so far is kinda lame."
Ichigo frowned at Naruto momentarily, but than grinned. "Yeah, but apparently I'm going to kick some major ass later on. ND told me that."
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "That's funny, ND told me the same thing."
Naruto and Ichigo looked at Luffy and Natsu. "Yo, Natsu, Luffy, did ND tell you you guys were going to kick some major ass later on?"
Natsu and Luffy stopped celebrating and nodded. "Yeah, he did."
Ichigo and Naruto gasped. They than looked at each other frantically. "Than which one of us is it?" They wondered in unison. "It can't be all of us, right?"
Chitsujo watched the display between his Acts of Order with a confused look on his face. "I wonder what has those four freaking out so much."
"Uh, Lord Chitsujo, we have a small problem." An attendant suddenly said to him.
Chitsujo sighed. "What is it?" He inquired, before hearing a loud crash.
Chitusjo looked at the source and his eyes widened in comical shock. Hidan was wildly swinging his scythe around the rest of the cast with a blush on his face, signifying that he was absolutely wasted. "Young man," Chitsujo began, "why is Hidan drunk and attacking his own cast?"
"Well, Sir, apparently being the 'star' of the 50th chapter along with Kakuzu has gone to his head." The attendant explained. "Now, he's kinda rubbing it in everyone's face."
"While drunk?"
"Yes, Sir, while drunk."
"But we started the party five minutes ago, how can he be drunk?!"
"It appears that Hidan is a lightweight, Sir."
Meanwhile, Hidan continued his drunken rampage across the party room. "Kakuzu and me were the stars of the 50th chapter *hiccup*!" He drunkenly yelled. "No matter what happens to me, I was the star of the 50th-freaking-chapter!"
Hidan pointed at the fearful cast as he continued swinging his scythe around. "You all can suck it!" He yelled. "Suck it, in the name of Jashin!"
Chitsujo sighed. "Well, I guess I'm going to have to stop him. Can't have him ruining the party."
"Sir!" Another attendant suddenly yelled.
"Oh, now what?" He muttered.
"A large group is protesting outside of the room."
"A protest, why?"
"They are the characters who haven't appeared in the story yet, Sir." The attendant explained. "And they are very unhappy."
Chitsujo was now getting frustrated. "Ugh, a drunk, maniacal priest swinging his scythe around, an angry protest group. This was supposed to be a time of celebration. Can this get any worse?"
As if responding, another crash was heard, followed by an explosion.
"Ahh! Natsu and Luffy are going on a rampage!"
"ND!" Natsu yelled. "Come out here and show yourself! Which one of us is gonna kick major ass, huh?"
"Yeah, tell us!" Luffy demanded.
"Are they seriously mad over who will have the coolest moment in the story?" Chitsujo wondered.
"Sir, this may be out of line, but I think you may have spoken too soon." The first attendant timidly pointed out.
Chitsujo slumped down in defeat. The party was officially ruined.
And that, ladies and gentleman, is the story of how the 50th Chapter Celebration was ruined.
A.N: Whew, I knew this was gonna be a long project but to actually reach 50 chapters is kind of a surreal feeling, let me tell you. This must be what writers like Psycho G and KingKakashi feel with their incredibly long projects. Even better, we're nowhere near done with the whole series. I hope you are prepared for the long haul, because keep in mind, we've still got other campaigns to get through as well.
So, anyways, just a reminder, there will be a poll posted later on. And, a second poll will be posted later on after you all tell me your favorite fights in the series so far in your reviews.
Now than, onto the Q&A
To zack25king, don't worry about it, I'm sure you had a good reason for not being here for awhile so I'm not going to hold it against you. Now, as for a fight between Hagoromo and Aizen, it's hard to say. We've never actually seen Hagoromo fight. That being said, if we're talking pre-Hogyoku Aizen than Hagoromo wins. Aizen himself openly acknowledged that he'd lose to Yamamoto, meaning that he'd lost to Hagoromo as well. But Hogyoku Aizen makes it a bit more interesting. Hagoromo and Zeref is even tougher, considering we haven't seen Zeref go all out either, just a taste of his powers.
Now, as for the reactions to Renji x Flare
Rukia: …perv
Byakuya: This better not be a distraction.
Ichigo: And I thought you liked…you know what, never mind.
Lucy: Hey, good for you, Flare.
To Lewis, thank you so much, and congrats on being the 1000th review.
Now, as for the reactions to Shunsui's decision.
Tsunade: Fighting evil with evil only creates more evil. Danzō is living proof of that.
Kakashi: Not gonna lie, bad call
Sakura: You have definitely lost your minds.
Erza: Shunsui you fool…
Natsu: How could you do that after what Aizen did?
Gray: Using evil is wrong, no matter what.
Luffy: Aizen's a jerk!
Zoro: You're a fool…
A: A respectable gamble.
Onoki: Ugh, just thinking about releasing a man like that makes my hips ache.
Shikamaru: Troublesome, I can see why you did it. Yhwach is even more dangerous than Aizen.
Jellal: With how dangerous Yhwach is, doing that is understandable.
Naruto: You've lost your mind, Shunsui…
Dragon: Understandable, considering how powerful he is.
Sasuke: Humph…
Jiraiya: That was foolish no matter how you slice it.
Mei: Mist devolved into something evil a long time ago, and we certainly didn't solve it with evil.
Gaara: Hmm…
Obito: You fool…
Makarov: Shunsui, you should've had more faith in your comrades.
Gildarts: Damn idiot…
Jinbe: You're just perpetuating more evil by allowing evil to continue.
Sabo: Evil is evil no matter how you slice it. You're an idiot for doing that, Shunsui.
Sanji: Damn…
Nami: Ugh…
Chopper: That was stupid. Yhwach is strong, but Aizen is still too dangerous!
Robin: Even factoring in everything, I still would not have released Aizen.
Laxus: Fool…
Thank you for the recommendation, by the way.
To TEETIMS, Thanks, we probably should start the countdown to 2000. Considering how the amount of reviews really picked up as the story, it is entirely possible.
To ActionTReaction, The problem is I've only seen up to the Koyuki Junior High Arc of Reborn. I just couldn't do it after that, I didn't find it as enjoyable as Bleach and the others. You'll have to wait and see with Ace.
To thewhitedragon1993, Considering how much this story has expanded that may be a good idea. I'll think it over.
To darkmachines, the thing is, I'm not accepting OCs. The only OCs you will see in this story are of my own creation. I appreciate the offer, but I am simply not accepting OCs.
I didn't really not answer your question, considering that I did think Bazz-B and Grimmjow would team up. The problem with that, however, is that the personalities of the Sternritter and Espada are incredibly different to the point where it's hard to say who would team up and who would actually work well together.
I haven't read your trilogy yet. I'll look into it if I have the time
Mayuri has taken on more of a support role as a member of the intelligence division. I've never viewed him as a front lines fighter. More of an observer who only fights after he's gathered enough information.
Now, as for the answer to your question on Excalibur…
Blackbeard: Ze ha ha! I would just crush the little midget and be done with it.
Zeref: I've found from personal experience that the best way to silence a fool is to exert your power.
Madara: I would place him under a Genjutsu.
Aizen: I would exert my Spiritual Pressure.
Baraggan: Respira. That ant deserves death for irritating me.
Pain: I would show him the wrath of God.
Yhwach: I would destroy him of course. But first I would find a way to take his power for myself.
To AnimeEmperor, considering that both women have rather violent tempers with strong love for their families (real and surrogate alike), I can imagine they would get along very well.
To DevilSlayer420, Thank you, I like to think that reaching 2000 reviews is quite possible as well, and that would certainly be one hell of a milestone to reach. Now than, as for the reactions to Attack on Titan.
Ichigo: Jeez, monsters that just keep regenerating? Something tells me even Zangetsu might have trouble with these things.
Rukia: Good God, this is more terrifying than my first Hollow.
Luffy: Those are Titans? So cool! Hey, Colossal, join my crew!
Zoro: Cutting such a specific spot will be quite the challenge, but it does sound pretty interesting.
Sanji: You guys better at least have enough food for the ladies.
Usopp, Nami, Chopper, and Brook would all scream in horror.
Naruto: To think that your situation has gotten this bad. It's clear that I can't sit by and let this continue. I'll help bring peace to this world.
Sakura: The damage monsters like these can cause to people…no medic can fix this.
Natsu: Quite the dilemma here. Heh, I'm all fired up now.
Erza: Allow the Fairy Tail Guild to offer their services to help you.
I would peg this story at somewhere between a third of the way done and halfway, leaning more towards a third. While I have a set point where I'm going to end it, I simply don't know how long it will be leading up to that point. Think of it as One Piece, there is no end in sight for awhile, so just enjoy the ride until than.
To KratosTheGodofWar, haven't gotten to Ultimate yet. I wanted to watch the original series first.
To Blindguy95, It does, doesn't it? I've only seen the first two episodes so far, and I can already tell that Yuno is completely insane. Well, that and I've seen plenty of memes referencing Yuno Gasai, the undisputed 'Yandere Queen.'
To WhatTheHell, I think we're thinking of two different people in this case. I'm thinking of Akon the Third Seat of Squad 12, a male Soul Reaper. Is there actually a female in Naruto named Akon? I checked the wiki and couldn't find a character of that name. Is she so minor she doesn't even have a page, or what?
Yeah, I'll go ahead and confirm that Aquarius is returning. Keep in mind, with so many things at their disposal, bringing her back is a walk in the park.
Now than, onto the pairings.
Aquarius x Smoker
Scorpio: NO!
Lucy: Stop rubbing it in!
Tashigi: Congrats, Vice Admiral.
Luffy: You really aren't so bad, Smokey.
Buggy x Mary Hughes
His crew: Way to go, Captain Buggy!
Alvida: Huh…
Byro Cracy: Congrats…
Lucy: Good for you, Mary.
Shikamaru x Vivi
Naruto: A princess? Way to go, Shikamaru.
Chōji: Nice, dude.
Ino: A princess? That lazy ass got a princess?
Chōji x Orihime
Ichigo: Hope he can survive her cooking…
Shikamaru: Good for you, Chōji.
Ino: A hottie that can look past weight. Chōji is lucky…
Kiba x Milliana
Hinata: Aww, how cute.
Shino: Congrats.
Naruto: Ha! Opposites really do attract.
Kagura: Well done.
Erza: Good for you, Milliana.
Shino x Flare
Kiba: Damn, never took Shino as a breast man.
Hinata: Congrats, Shino
Lucy: Hey, good for you, Flare
Hinata x Gray
Juvia: What's mine is mine, and I am ready to kill for it, Love Rival!
Lucy: Juvia's not gonna like this.
Naruto: Way to go, Hinata.
Kiba: At least she's finally moved on.
Sakura: But I thought you loved Naruto?
Konan x Gin
Rangiku: I guess this is what I get for not confessing sooner.
Izuru: Captain Ichimaru, well done.
Nagato: I'm happy for you, Konan
Jiraiya: Gin is a lucky man. Konan's become a hell of a woman.
Lyon x Sakura
Naruto: No, Sakura, why?
Ino: Forehead girl won…forehead girl won.
Gray: At least this means he'll keep away from Juvia
Chelia: Lyon, why?
Juvia: I'm glad Lyon finally understands my heart belongs to Gray.
Atsui x Momo
Tōshirō: Momo is like a sister to me. I won't tolerate anyone who hurts my sister.
Samui: Atsui, please do not scare her away, she is a nice girl.
The real question isn't really so much as Ino and Sai. Ino did mention how Sai was cute once. The real question is how Chōji ended up with Karui?
Now, Fu x Bickslow
Naruto: Good for you.
Freed: You found someone with almost as much energy as you.
Evergreen: And here I thought you in a stable relationship would never happen.
Laxus: Good work, Bickslow.
Starrk x Mirajane
Lilynette: Starrk, you better wear the pants in this relationship!
Shunsui: I'm kinda jealous actually.
Lisanna and Elfman: Way to go, Big Sis.
Erza: Well done, Mira.
Makarov: Starrk is now officially the envy of every man in Fiore.
To 333Lucy, okay, starting with the reactions to Lucy and Team Natsu.
Perona: That cat is so cute! I need to take him with me!
Absalom: That blonde will be my pride…
Moriah: Ki shi shi. Titania Erza and Salamander himself, I'll make fine zombies out of them.
Bellamy: If they're anything like Straw Hat, than I refuse to treat them badly. If they are friends of Straw Hat, than they are friends of me as well.
Now, Nnoitra x Baby 5
Grimmjow: Damn…
Ulquiorra: How vulgar…
Tesla: No, Master Nnoitra, why…
Buffalo: Shouldn't you get a fiancé that protect himself from the Young Master? Oh wait, no one can.
Doflamingo: Baby 5, I'm going to have to kill this one.
Sai: Wait, what about me?
Sai x Tatsuki
Naruto: Sai, do you know what love is?
Sakura: I'm curious about that myself.
Ino: Dammit! I lost a guy who was as cute as Sasuke.
Orihime: Wow, wait to go, Tatsuki.
Ichigo: You picked the least emotional human being on the planet for a boyfriend. I guess relationships really are about opposites attracting.
Zoro x Kagura
Sanji: Damn you moss head!
Nami: I wonder if Zoro actually can love someone more than booze and swordplay?
Milliana: Kagura, why are you wasting your time with a man?
Erza: Aww, my little sister has found love.
Lucy x Sabo
Natsu: I can eat flames you know, so I could probably kick your ass if you hurt Lucy.
Erza: Lucy is very important to us. Don't you dare hurt her.
Levy: Way to go, Lu.
Luffy: What's dating? Is that some kind of food?
Koala: No…
Aries x Luffy
Nami: Luffy doesn't even know what dating is!
Sanji: Dammit!
Franky: Super!
Hancock: Damn you!
Lucy: Treat her right, Luffy. She hasn't had good experiences with other people.
Loke: Aries is precious to me. Don't hurt her, Luffy.
Ace x Coco
Lucy: Isn't she a bit young for you?
Luffy: What's dating, Ace?
Whitebeard: Excellent, when can I expect grandchildren, my son.
Sugar x Romeo
Macao: My son is growing up so fast.
Natsu: Way to go, Romeo.
Law: Don't let her touch you, idiot.
Usopp: You do realize she's dangerous, right?
Sting x Sakura
Rogue: I never knew Sting had it in him.
Lector: Sting is now officially the best!
Naruto: No…
Sasuke: At least she'll stop coming after me.
Ino: I lost to forehead girl…
Tsunade: I am so proud of my apprentice.
Sanji x Lisanna
Zoro: Well, it looks like the cook found someone who won't resist him.
Nami: At least he'll stop chasing after me.
Natsu: So, does that mean you want to be his wife now?
Mirajane and Elfman: Hurt my sister and you die, pervert.
Lucy x Neji
Hinata: Good for you, Brother.
Lee and Guy: So youthful!
Natsu: He seems kinda cold…
Levy: Way to go, Lu.
Brook x Virgo
Franky: Super!
Sanji: How did a skeleton get a man before a prince like me?!
Lucy: I always thought you'd get a man with a dominating personality? Brook's not that dominating.
Kakashi x Nami
Guy: Curses! My rival has outdone me once again!
Naruto: Damn, way to go Kakashi-Sensei.
Sakura: I hope she's okay with the fact that Sensei is a complete perv.
Luffy: Nami is a part of our crew, you can't have her yet.
Sanji: Nami-swan, why?
Natsu x Orihime
Lucy: Natsu…
Gray: Does Flame-Brain even know about dating?
Erza: Orihime is a pure soul, Natsu. Please don't hurt her.
Ichigo: Treat her right, Natsu…and try to survive her cooking, too.
Rukia: Don't you love…you know what, forget it.
Sai x Levy
Naruto: I'm…kinda surprised to be honest.
Ino: Damn…
Jet and Droy: NO!
Gajeel: Huh, way to go shrimp.
Lucy: Levy, I thought you loved Gajeel?
Angel x Kisame
Cobra: Damn, I can hear the bloodlust from this guy. Try to stay safe, Angel.
Yukino: You sure that's a good idea, Sis?
Itachi: Kisame, I was raised to treat women right. I hope you do the same for your sake.
Loke x Ino
Shikamaru: Troublesome, two flirts together.
Sakura: Ino-pig won, dammit…
Lucy: At least he'll stop flirting with me…
Rogue x Temari
Gaara: Hurt my sister and you die.
Kankuro: I'll leave the threatening to Gaara.
Shikamaru: Troublesome…
Gajeel: Damn, way to go Ryos.
Sting: Good to see Rogue so happy.
Frosch: Frosch thinks so too.
I haven't watched the Last Airbender unfortunately. I probably never will because I can never look at that series without thinking of Shymalan's terrible live action adaptation. I hated that movie.
Bickslow x Nami
Freed: Well done.
Evergreen: And here I thought you were too much of a perv to get a woman.
Laxus: Congrats, Bickslow
Sanji: Nami-swan, why?!
Brook: No more panties…
Freed x Robin
Bickslow: Huh, I always thought you were…never mind.
Laxus: Thanks for proving you were not gay for me.
Luffy: Robin is my archaeologist, you can't have her!
Cobra x Nami
Natsu: Nami is a nice girl, don't hurt her you jerk.
Luffy: Aren't you the enemy. Well, I guess if Nami likes you, you can't be a bad guy.
Sanji: Nami-swan!
Ichigo x Temari
Orihime: No…
Rukia: And here I thought you were too stupid to know what love is.
Gaara: I would threaten you, but you are far too honorable to hurt my sister.
I can understand your love for messing with people's minds. That can be quite fun as long as you don't go too far.
ADHD, huh? I'm sorry to hear that. Must've made things hard sometimes.
As much as I appreciate the offer, I really do have no plans to take OCs. The only OCs you'll see are mine.
Absalom's definitely a bigger pervert. I wouldn't really define Nnoitra as a perv, more as a vulgar beast that enjoys dominating people. He just looks and acts like a rapist.
While I normally don't confirm anything, I am going to bring back Aquarius. Considering all the tools everyone has at their disposal, bringing her back should be easy.
Unfortunately, I don't have any real advice on Freaks at the moment. I guess the only thing I have to say is to remember to have a wide variety of characters with memorable personalities. Take One Piece for example; what is the most memorable thing about the characters? Their personalities. Even the minor characters have memorable personalities. I suppose if you want any other advice, you'll have to tell me what you have so far and what you're still looking for.
I've already done Renji x Flare, check out the response to zack25king.
I think Jana is an interesting character. I especially like how she has a tiger. However, I do think you should narrow down the powers she has. I mean, it's one thing to have a tiger to fight with, but also healing and—dimensions was it? Anyways, you should definitely narrow down her powers. Unless of course you want her to be the token medic of the group.
I'm really not taking penis' opinion seriously. The guy is a troll, a flamer, whatever you would like to call him, and I never take people like him seriously. Not only that, but it's hard to take his opinion seriously when it's more of an insult than an opinion. Furthermore, he couldn't even come up with a good username. Trust me, I'm not taking him seriously at all.
Now, Deidara x Edo Coco
Sasori: Don't blow her up, Deidara. You really can't blow up girlfriends and turn them into art.
Hidan: And here I thought it was impossible for you to love anything other than art.
Mary Hughes: Totes awesome, Coco
Lucy and Lily: Good for you.
Now, reactions to Aquarius' sacrifice.
Ichigo: She's got a lot of resolve…
Luffy: Just like Ace…
Naruto: She's a true friend.
Now, reactions to Nami and Brook's past
Brain: Weak maggots…
Mard Geer: Mard Geer is not moved at all.
Silver: You've lost everything…just like me.
Starrk: I may be a lazy guy…but for the first time I find myself…moved.
Halibel: Your mother is a great woman.
Nnoitra: Ha, how lame.
Sasori: You lost your family as well.
Itachi: What tormenting pasts…
Now, Bickslow x Hancock
Freed: Impressive…
Evergreen: Damn…
Laxus: I'm kinda jealous, Bickslow.
Luffy: Hey, good for you Hancock
Sandersonia and Marigold: Good for you Sis.
Freed x Vivi
Bickslow: Huh, I always thought you were gay for Laxus…
Laxus: Thank God…
Nami: Good for you, Vivi
Luffy: You better not hurt Vivi, Freed.
To fliggy91, okay than…
Rukia: Ichigo you fool…
Orihime: No…
Renji: I know we're allies now but really?
Tōshirō: Kurosaki, you do know what she did to me, right?
Mayuri: Well that was unexpected. The Zombie Girl and the Substitute.
Liltotto: Well, that was certainly unexpected.
To penis, you know, I might be more inclined to take your opinion seriously if you actually had something constructive to say. Instead, you simply insult my work and in doing so insult me. But, I'm not mad at you. Why? Because I'm not even taking you seriously. Why would I take a troll like yourself seriously when you have a username like that? Oh, by the way, the 1000+ reviews I have really don't support your theory. Yeah, my writing totally sucks. Go troll someone else, flamers are not welcome here.
To Guest 1, okay, let's go.
Natsu x Momo
Tōshirō: You better not hurt my best friend.
Shinji: Momo's been through enough, Salamander. You better not hurt her.
Gray: Damn, Flame Brain finally grew up a bit.
Lucy and Lisanna: No…
Gaara x Erza
Temari: He's finally found some happiness.
Kankurō: Good for you little brother.
Naruto: Damn, way to go, Erza.
Jellal: You deserve someone who walks in the light, Erza.
Natsu: Does this mean Erza's off the team?
Uryū x Yukino
Sting: You better not hurt Sabertooth's princess, Quincy.
Angel: Hurt my precious little sister, and you'll die.
Ichigo: Guess you've found someone who can put up with you.
Mirajane x Renji
Lisanna and Elfman: Way to go Sis!
Erza: Interesting, and here I thought you hated redheads.
Makarov: Renji is a lucky man.
Rukia: And here I thought you were too much of a klutz to get a girl.
Ichigo: Good for you, I guess.
Kankurō x Nami
Temari: How?
Gaara: Congrats, Brother.
Luffy: Hey, don't take my navigator away from me!
Sanji: Nami-swan!
To Guest 2, okay
Luffy x Hinata
Kiba: You traded one idiot for an even bigger idiot.
Shino: Congrats.
Naruto: Hey, you've found a good girl, Luffy. Hinata's weird, but she's really nice.
Sanji: Hinata why?!
Nami: How? He doesn't even know what dating is!
Hancock: No!
Ichigo x Hinata
Kiba: I'd threaten you on hurting Hinata…but I don't think you're the type to do that.
Naruto: Good for you, Ichigo.
Orihime: No…
Rukia: You just broke Orihime's heart, dumb ass.
Natsu x Hinata
Kiba: What is it with you and falling for idiots?
Naruto: No way, you did not get a girlfriend before me!
Lucy and Lisanna: No…
Gray: How did Flame Brain…ugh, never mind.
Ichigo x Kushina
Minato: No…
Naruto: Oh hell no! Ichigo will never be my dad!
Rukia: Didn't know you liked older women. Well, than again we are pretty close.
Unohana: My my, Kurosaki, if I knew you liked older women, I would've made a move on you earlier.
Yoruichi: Oh please, I claimed him first, Unohana.
To death101, I did start playing Devil May Cry (got the HD collection awhile back), but I haven't gotten far yet. I swear, Capcom likes to make their games super hard for some reason. Did you know it took me almost twenty tries to beat that stupid volcano arachnid-thing? I almost rage-quitted that thing. Just like how I almost rage-quitted Ansem in KH1 and Vexen in KH Chain of Memories.
To JadenCage, I may have wished you a happy birthday earlier, but allow me to wish it to you personally now. Happy birthday, you've been a loyal reader and a good friend.
Okay, now for reactions to those battles. I've paired each character with the battles they are most likely to react to.
Naruto: Whoa, to think that Old Man Yama is matching Old Man First Hokage. I can feel their power radiating. It's even more terrifying than Kenpachi's power, and he's concentrating all of that on me!
Natsu: Holy crap, Naruto's mom is as scary as Erza!
Luffy: Whoa, Ace's old man is fighting Natsu's old man! That is so cool!
Ichigo: I do not envy Naruto right now. I don't ever want to fight Kenpachi again. Not just that, but I don't want to go near the fight between the old man and the First Hokage.
Blackbeard: Ze ha ha ha! Looks like Whitebeard is going all out!
Zeref: Impressive power. So this is the ultimate power of some of the strongest beings in the universe. Hashirama Senju, Genryūsai Yamamoto, Edward Newgate, and Makarov Dreyar. Very impressive.
Yhwach: You really have gotten weak, Genryūsai.
Madara: That's right, Hashirama, show the old man the strength you used to beat me all those years ago.
Shunsui: Damn, I haven't seen the old man this worked up in years.
Shinji: Whoa, Yamamoto is really going at it.
Byakuya: That brute Zaraki is doing quite the number on Uzumaki…
Tsunade: Go Granpda Hashi!
Gaara: So, that is the power of the First Hokage at full power…
Yoruichi: Damn, watching Naruto and Kenpachi fight brings back memories.
Kakashi: Lady Kushina is really going all out against Erza. I don't have to worry about her. I'm more worried about Naruto's safety against Zaraki.
Sakura: Something tells me I'm going to have a lot of injuries to heal
Shikamaru: Troublesome, Naruto is going to get himself killed at this rate.
Hinata: Naruto, please be safe.
Lee: Such youthful battles!
Gray: Two scary redheads going head to head…
Erza: You are truly strong, Kushina.
Mirajane: I wonder if Erza will finally lose a battle…
Elfman: Damn, master is a real man when he goes all out like this.
Minato: My wife won't lose to Erza.
Kushina: Damn, Erza's been more of a challenge than I expected. On another note, that Zaraki better not do anything to my baby boy!
Dragon: Such phenomenal battles…
To thesupremebeard, even if they are considered canon to a degree, I have no plans to include people who are still technically not part of the storyline. Even if I do like character's like Shiki, it's not going to happen.
Maybe, on the omake.
To monkeydnatsu, no plans to include those four yet.
To Guest 3, yes, I do. Fairy Tail at this point is set at the point where I believe the guild will fully reunite.
To, The Lone Revenant, not quite. With the worlds merged, anyone who dies at this point will go straight to the aforementioned dimension for all of the dead, the Styx. If I remember correctly, I mentioned it somewhere in the late 40s after Naruto's fight with Konton but before Clover Town.
To Mr.E, Thank you. Now, as for the reactions.
Natsu: Whoa, Ichigo is actually more awesome than Gildarts!
Lucy: Whoa…
Gray: I can't believe it…even after seeing it I can't believe it.
Erza: He's actually surpassed the master with this kind of power.
Naruto: Whoa, that power is comparable to the Ten Tails, maybe even more.
Sakura: Kinda glad I'm so used to high powered people, thanks to Naruto.
Sasuke: Unbelievable, he may even be a match for the Sage of Six Paths.
Kakashi: Huh, that's scary.
Luffy: SO COOL!
Zoro: Damn, I've got to step up my training.
Sanji: Women love power…I need to get stronger! I can't let him win!
To Mastergamer14, Unfortunately, I haven't seen it yet. I do plan on doing so as soon as I'm done with finals and back home for the Summer.
To Guest 4, okay, starting with the situations.
Scarlett: I'm afraid I can't. Because someone who let's another person starve, is even worse than a demon.
Viola: No, all I see inside of you is purity, my dear. So please don't say such things.
Rebecca: People called me a demon with dirty blood as well
Kyros: Child, I have more blood on my hands than you. And Doflamingo has more blood than me. You are nowhere near as horrible as either of us.
Halibel: I see. Tell you what, until I find her, why don't I be your mother?
Blackbeard: Too bad, this food is for me and my elites.
Burgess: Wii ha ha ha! The only blood that matters it he blood of a champion. You are no champion!
Shillew: I don't regret many things, pal. I don't think I can actually regret cutting down a piece of trash like yourself.
Lafitte: You know, I was once a policeman that lost my position due to beating people. Don't push me, prisoner.
Doc Q: Very good, your friend will live.
Now the replies to Jozeine
Roswald: No, I will call the admirals on you!
Charloss: Yeah, that's right, my daddy will stop you.
Sharlia: You…you…how could you do this to me! I am a descendant of the creators of this world, dammit!
Angira: We've all done some horrible things, we're all equal when it comes to the amount of darkness we have in our heart.
Lyankiri: I…ugh, I don't know how yet, but I swear I will get revenge on you one day!
Jalmack: Bastard…
Mjosgard: I'll get back at you one day…
To Guest 5, starting with the Apacci's reply.
Apacci: I…see.
Now, the Espadas
Yammy: Bah! All that mushy stuff is making me sick!
Nnoitra: Heh, no wonder Nel is weak. She hangs out with trash like you.
Zommari: How useless, all we need to follow is Lord Aizen's word.
Aaroniero: What useless words.
Granz: To think that such worthless Hollows exist. It's so…disgusting.
Now the replies to the dying Sikka
Halibel: Your will shall become mine, I promise.
Mila Rose: Dammit!
Sun-Sun would remain silent
Apacci: Sikka? Sikka!
Lilynette: Sikka…
Starrk: Damn, I never thought I'd be this moved over the death of someone. So this is what having friends is like.
Grimmjow: Sikka, no!
Ulquiorra: Sikka…
Nel: N-no…
Pesche and Dondochaka would just sob.
Mosqueda would just lower his head in prayer.
Now the replies to the Hollow King
Halibel: For one thing, I will start by stopping you. Then, I will carry on her dream.
Apacci: For Sikka, yes!
Mila Rose: I'll admit, at first I thought it was ridiculous. But now, it is something I take great pride in following!
Sun-Sun: Maybe, but that doesn't mean you give up.
Starrk: I don't, but I certainly don't mind avenging my comrades.
Lilynette: She is no disgrace to me! You're the only disgrace around here!
Grimmjow: I loved her…I LOVED HER! You bastard!
Ulquiorra: No…no she is not.
Luffy: This isn't about Hollows and Arrancars. You made one of my friends cry!
Zoro: Because my friends and I have dreams too! I won't forgive you for stepping on the dreams of others!
Sanji: Stop talking about her like that you bastard! You have no right!
Usopp: No, I'm not going to run. Not this time.
Chopper: I won't run away. I'll avenge Sikka.
Brook: People who waste lives…are what I hate the most!
Robin: You have no right
Nami: Fine, I'll just find something else to hurt you with!
Ichigo: It wasn't foolish! All I want is to see all this fighting end so my friends can be safe!
Yamamoto: I may despise Hollows, but I despise endless conflict even more, and she sought an end to that. I can respect that, even if it is just from a Hollow.
Uryu: Because Quincy desire peace above all else. I won't forgive you for killing someone who desired peace like myself.
Chad: I think I will purge that darkness.
Momo: And who says change is bad?!
Shunsui: I guess I wouldn't expect a war hawk like you to understand. But, there was nothing dishonorable about her wish.
Hachi: She tried to help us! That alone makes it worth putting our lives on the line to avenge her!
Jushiro: I may be sickly, but I can still fight!
Renji: You just doomed a lot of people. But, I can still stop it by stopping you!
Toshiro: Best? Best?! You dare tell me what's best when you just murdered someone in cold blood!
Komamura: Didn't you ever want more! No, of course you didn't! All you want is control.
Nel: All I feel right now, is fury! I will avenge Sikka!
Pesche and Dondochaka: We'll avenge Sikka with Master Nel!
To Guest 6, now for Rayleigh's replies
Answer 1: That's admirable but don't be so hasty next time. Have a bit more faith in Gohan. He is incredibly powerful after all.
Answer 2: Simple, we're going to train your observation Haki.
Now for the comments on Mr Satan and his fans
Doflamingo: This is why human commoners are trash.
Pica: Idiotic bastards! They've put a fool above Dofy!
Trebol: Be he he, a fool like that doesn't compare to our Dofy.
Diamante: Ha, they should worship me, the Hero of the Colosseum. They should worship Dofy too!
Lao G: What idiots! G!
Senor Pink: Those fans remind me of my immature fans…I hate children.
Jora: Why did they call me a supermodel?!
Gladius: How dare they worship an idiot instead of the Young Master!
Now the retorts to Inner Moka
Doflamingo: Know my place?! Know your place, commoner!
Baby 5: You need me to know my place? You need me! Wow, I've never been needed by another woman.
Jora: Who said I was Boa Hancock?!
Trebol: Be he he! You should know your place. On your knees, bowing to our king!
Senor Pink: Immature brat…
To Guest 7, in order.
Aizen: Killing your own brother? Very impressive resolve, Doflamingo
Starrk and Halibel: Shameful…
Nnoitra: Damn, I'm kinda jealous of what he's pulled off and gotten away with.
Grimmjow: Geez, not even Nnoitra is that brutal.
Yhwach: We have every right to do such things, after all we are gods.
Haschwalth: Rulers should exert their power.
Bazz-B: Damn, that ain't right at all.
Bambietta: Crazy bastard…
Mard Geer: Mard Geer is actually impressed. To think that a human could do that to his own kind.
Silver: He might as well be a demon with what he's done.
Kyoka: Damn, he has the ruthlessness of an actual demon.
Brain: That's right, put the maggots in their place.
Hades: Hmm…
Orochimaru: My, my, you're certainly on a roll, Doflamingo.
Deidara: How artistic…
Hidan: He'd make a fine servant for Jashin…
Itachi: Monster…
To Humbertorojo96, they really were a disappointment, weren't they? All that buildup as Fairy Tail's dark rival lead by Makarov's son and Laxus owns them all with no trouble.
As you can see, Love has found a way to bypass Caesar's Gas Gas Fruit.
Ah, I see, well, I didn't exactly want to have things solved by the talk no jutsu. No problem.
Now, Ichigo x Cana
Gildarts: Hurt my daughter, and I'll smash you into the floor.
Lucy: Way to go, Cana.
Rukia: Ichigo you perv…
Rangiku: Aww, but I thought we had something special? I could've been your drinking buddy if you had let me
Orihime: No…
Laxus x Candice
Freed: No!
Bickslow: Huh, Freed's not gonna like this.
Evergreen: Way to go, you've got quite the woman there…although can we trust her?
Erza: Laxus, is she trustworthy?
Peace out, bro.
To The SolInvictus, thanks for the congrats.
I have not watched, read nor played it yet. To be honest, I've never even heard of it.
I'm not sure what you mean by Chakra and Spiritual Energy, but if it's what I think you're saying I prefer keeping them separate while at the same time interacting. That being said, there are some characters who can break through the resistance created by strong characters like Kenpachi. Namely A, B, Naruto, and other strong characters.
I like Fū. I wish we had gotten a better look at her character along with Han in canon. I'm glad we're at least getting somewhat of a look in filler.
If I had to guess, I'd say the ranking goes like this.
10: Zetsu
9: Hidan
8: Deidara
7: Konan
6: Kakuzu
5: Kisame
4: Sasori
3: Itachi
2: Nagato
1: Obito
Honestly, I think considering that the Akatsuki and the Espada are the primary antagonistic forces, they are about evenly matched. While I do think that the strongest of the Espada could beat most of the Akatsuki (namely Ulquiorra, Baraggan, and Starrk), I do think that there strength is just about even when you compare them one on one.
To Guest 8, Guest 18 was just inquiring about certain character reactions to certain OCs and certain situations.
I hope everyone enjoyed the 50th chapter of the Fairy Tail Campaign. I'll be posting the new poll shortly. Don't forget to tell me your favorite battle in your review. Don't forget, there is a 50/50 chance I won't post next week, on the 11th, due to finals.
Until next time, peace out!
