Metropolis Upper City

Fleet Admiral Akainu jumped up a hundred feet in the air and landed on a floating section of sky up above the Metropolis island. "MEN!" he shouted off the chunk of stone flying high up in the air. Down below him, tens of thousands of soldiers who had run out of the barracks or over from their training areas looked up at the Gensei of the Marines. He looked down at them with stern eyes, and an aura that had them all shutting up in seconds. He stood there ten feet tall, broad shouldered, with dark red hair and a red suit under his white Marine officer coat to match.

"Metropolis is under siege! The Straw Hat Pirates, Portgas D. Ace, and their comrades have come to attack this city!"

Thousands of Marines who actually were from the same world covered in pirates knew who these men were and started murmuring amongst themselves. Someone shouted how Ace was dead, but another yelled back at him that he must have been revived. Thousands of other Marines who joined in order to keep from getting their powers nullified, or to keep their weapons and practicing with them, were learning of these two pirate brothers now and many were getting nervous at the rumors of their strength.

"Get civilians to safety! Kill all the intruders! Protect the peace we have worked so hard to achieve!" The tall man leapt off of the giant chunk of earth in the sky and dropped down into his forces. He charged through them, one thought on his mind, Mugiwara, Fire Fist, I will finish you once and for all.

Far away from the legion of Marines, two men were standing and watching the Fleet Admiral charge at the tube leading to the lower city. While Akainu and his roaring Marines sprinted away, this man calmly walked forwards. He was as broad shouldered and almost as tall as Akainu, but with short black hair and a pair of sunglasses on. He was wearing a dark green jacket over a white shirt and long blue pants. "Brother," the muscular man started, "it seems we may have a challenge before us today." Younger Toguro kept walking while his older brother, a scrawny man with curly gray hair, climbed up higher on his back and leaned his wrinkly face over his younger brother's shoulder.

Elder Toguro cackled as he looked ahead of them. "Wonder who we'll get to kill first?" The short scrawny man held onto his brother's back as Younger Toguro walked forwards. "I want to hear their screams," the older man said with a sadistic smile on his face.

The younger Toguro brother just stared ahead through his sunglasses. "That's a bad habit you have," he stated as his brother cackled madly. Who among these intruders can give stimulation to my existence? Who will have the strength I desire to fight?

High above the two Toguro Brothers, a man with short white hair stood in the sky. Ichimaru Gin had on a white kimono that covered his whole body, with long sleeves that he held in front of him with his arms slid into the opposite sleeve, covering both of his hands completely. Next to him was a much less calm figure who was jumping up and down in the air in anticipation.

"You do not seem upset that we have intruders," Gin pointed out as the shorter figure with spiky green hair jumped around in the sky near him. The Earth King Amaimon grinned at this and spun to face Gin in the air, his long tail swirling around behind him.

"Not at all! I was looking forward to attacking Pao and Rhodar once the scouting missions failed, but now! I can't believe they came to us! Hahaha, I want to go kill a Saiyan!" Amaimon cackled after he shouted it.

Gin lifted his eyebrows up a little and faced the smaller creature. His eyes were slanted and looked almost shut at the amount he had them open. "Have you ever seen a Saiyan fight before?" Ichimaru Gin asked the demon who stopped jumping around so excitedly.

Amaimon frowned and growled, "It doesn't matter if I have."

Gin kept his calm smile on his face and nodded, "I suppose it doesn't." After he said that, Amaimon couldn't take waiting any longer and shot away from Gin like a missile towards the large tube sticking out of the floor of the island. Once inside it, the fighters would be dropped quickly, but safely down to the lower city.

The shinigami with short white hair kept watching as Amaimon, the Toguro Brothers, and thousands of other soldiers descended into the city. He watched as the entire Marine Giant Squad under Vice Admiral John Giant's command roared in agreement at something their leader just said to them to motivate them. The cluster of giants all more than ten times as tall and wide as the humans below them ran to the tube as well and descended for the city below.

Gin just smiled the whole time. This city will fall today.


"H-Hold it right there," a chubby black haired man exclaimed, running out of the guard post at the gate and standing in the way of the small army amassed inside the barrier. Their forces had all gotten in thanks to Sora, and now they met their first opponent... a normal human.

Cyril held up the automatic ray-beam rifle in his hands and pointed it at the enemy line in front of him. Out of the corner of his eye he could see his other three guard mates sitting on the inside of the doorway to their guardpost, frozen to their spots and staring out at him like he was an idiot. He felt like an idiot, but he couldn't just let them walk into the city. "Wh-What business do you have here?"

"We're here to kick Lex Luthor's butt," Son Goku called out, punching his right fist into his open left hand and lifted off the ground again. Vegeta and Gohan both lifted up as well, making the guard in front of them have to hold back the pee building up in his bladder.

Luthor?! Why would they be looking for him here? Cyril turned to his right looking for help from his friends, but when he turned, he caught a glimpse of farther back in the city and his eyes widened. A smile spread across his face and he spun back around with a more confident grin, lifting up his beam rifle to point at the tall metal soldier with the twin letter 'T's on its chest. Out from the post ran his other three guard squad members who lifted up their rifles as well, right as the large platoon of Marines behind them finally made it to the gate.

There were thirty members of the platoon in all, but they weren't all Marines actually. Four had what looked like police-uniforms on, looking more nervous than the small group of Marines who were already down in the city and received the orders to move out to the Southern Gate. They all lifted swords and rifles at their opponents who were now looking around with a little more intrigue than when it was just one terrified man standing against them.

Cyril and his fellow guard members noticed a few of the fighters in front of them looking a little nervous with all these weapons pointed at them. "Go back where you came from," the fat man called out, sounding a lot cockier than the stuttering coward from before. Calling him a coward would be too much though, as even the strongest of them had to admit the man had balls to step out in front of their army on his own like that.

Vegeta wanted to test how strong that guy's balls were. He was about to lower down to intimidate the whole lot of them, but Luffy walked forward first. The pirate had his Straw Hat pulled down over his eyes a little, but when he snapped his head up, an aura flared out around his body and spread to engulf all of his comrades and all the men standing in their way at the gate. The Saiyan Prince's eyes went wide as he watched thirty four men, some with above average for a human's energy, get weak at the knees and topple to the ground with their eyes rolled back into their heads.

Ace smirked at his younger brother, Looks like you've worked on your Conqueror's Haki little brother. Impressive.

The gate was now empty. All civilians on the other side of it scattered in the wind when the Marines went rushing by this way a minute ago, but now the ones watching from their buildings were trembling in fear as the pirates, magicians, aliens, and martial artists walked into their city unopposed.

"That was pretty cool," Krillin said from the back of the pack, having floated up a little to see what that strange energy did. Wonder if I can shift my own energy to make it feel like that. The short bald man dropped back down behind the pack and continued to protect from behind as all the Saiyans were rushing in head-first like always.

"Let's go!" Luffy shouted and stuck his hands up in the air.

Nami stared at her captain from a few rows of people back, a look of admiration in her eyes for the pirate in the straw hat. When you said we should take on the NEG, I thought it was crazy, but I followed you because you are my captain. Then we decided to fight the Underworld, and I've still got some scars from those fights. Taking them both at the same time, I thought it was madness. But no, this is just another fight to win. The orange haired woman grinned and twirled around her new Clima-Tact, ready for action. Usopp made her a new one to make up for a lack of inventions over the last two years he hadn't seen her. She was able to try out some of its functions at the last Underworld base she visited, but she couldn't wait to try out the other new functions she hadn't gotten to yet.

After Luffy shouted his charging call, everyone seemed to take it their own way. After the open gate, the city stretched as far as the eye could see, and the same distance to the east and west as well.

"We'll split up and cover more ground," Mandy stated loudly. Everyone turned to see the blonde haired twelve year old girl lift off the ground atop the Grim Reaper's scythe. Then, the short boy with a big nose next to her and tall skeleton rose, each wearing their own black cloaks with their hoods up like Mandy's. Billy, Mandy, and Grim rose off the ground each on scythes of their own, and Mandy looked over at the large silver robot warrior who started hovering a few inches off the ground as he moved forward. Their scythes and strong clothing were thanks to the boy inside the robot, and Mandy nodded her head in his direction, Thanks Timmy.


"Not this time!" Luffy shouted as he saw Vegeta fly down the road in front of him. "I'm getting the best fight this time," the pirate started sprinting down the road, then ran to his left at the next intersection, then right at the following one.

Two men in suits were walking out of a very tall building when a gust of wind made them step back and snap their heads the same direction as everyone else on the sidewalk. They watched as a young man, skinny, but toned as well, stopped running on the sidewalk and lifted his head up in the air, "Come out and fight me!" he shouted.

"What the Hell is that guy doing?" Marshall asked the blond man next to him. The bigger guy looked down to his left a little and saw his friend Barney Stinson staring over at the guy in the straw hat with wide eyes. "Barney?" the big lawyer asked his friend.

"Let's go to Patty's," Barney said, gulping as he said it. The businessman loosened up the tie around his neck and Marshall could see the sweat on his face. "Get Lily and meet me there, I'll find Robin."

"Don't you think it's a little early for the pub?" Marshall asked the man next to him, trying to take a joking tone but failing upon seeing Barney's nervous expression.

"Luffy! You find anyone yet?!" a voice shouted down the road and the two suited-up men looked down the road to see a man drop out of the sky covered in flames. He wasn't wearing a shirt and he had a large purple tattoo on his back, as well as an orange hat on his head and a necklace of red beads around his neck. The suited men did not need any more incentive and Marshall and Barney ran away.

Luffy spun to Ace and frowned, "Nope. No one's coming out," the younger brother pouted.

"You think they're just going to come out because you shouted at them to?" Ace asked skeptically.

"Well you heard me," Luffy argued, and Ace had to give it to him, he heard him from three blocks away where he was running himself. "Why wouldn't an Underworld guy?" the pirate captain added, looking down at the floor below him and wondering if there was anyone below. Ace saw the look in his eye a second too late and could only sigh as he fell with Luffy when his little brother punched the floor hard and they dropped down into a tunnel beneath the street.

"Hmph, it's dark down here," Luffy mumbled as he looked both ways in the corridor they just broke into.

"I got it," Ace commented, lifting up both hands so they lit up green. "Firefly," the man whispered, and dozens of little green dots came off his hands and shot down the tunnel, illuminating the entire empty thing for half a mile.

Luffy looked down the tunnel the way Ace sent his little green lights, then the man in the straw hat started sweating, "Wait a second. Ace, don't those explode-"

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

Both pirates jumped back out of the hole they made in the ground and watched as the street for half a mile to their right collapsed down into the tunnel below. All that remained after a few seconds was rubble where the street used to be, and anyone walking on the sidewalks before were sprinting as far away as they could now.

"Well, at least we know they weren't there," Ace said with a grin, crossing one place off the list of millions of places they had to search in this city.

As Luffy was about to respond to his brother, both pirates froze where they landed on the sidewalk. The sides of their heads started dripping with sweat and they slowly lifted their gazes up to the top of a twenty story building across the street from them.

"Monkey D. Luffy. Portgas D. Ace." The ten foot tall, broad man on the top of the building shouted down. He had dark red hair under his white hat, the hat that said 'MARINE' on it and went well with the white coat he had over his red suit. "I am going to execute the two of you right here." The Fleet Admiral of the Marines shouted off the building at the pirate brothers, one of whom he'd already succeeded at killing once, and the other he could still see the 'X'-shaped scar on his chest where he punched a fist made of magma through him.

"Akainu," Luffy seethed through his teeth, seeing the man he hated most in the world up above him now.

"You think you can beat us?" Ace called up to the top of the building in a taunting tone.

"I've done it before," Sakazuki responded calmly, standing there in a powerful pose, arms crossed in front of his ten foot tall body with a glare that could kill lesser men than the ones he was facing. "And I will do it again."

"We were weak back then," Ace shouted at the man. "You've been living in this peaceful city, while we've been out there in this harsh world. You still think-"

"AKAINU!" Luffy roared, cutting off his brother and the Fleet Admiral's conversation by pumping his feet down on the ground and then kicking off the ground so hard that his brother stumbled to the right as the floor beneath where he just was standing dropped into a slant of the side of Luffy's liftoff crater.

"MUGIWARA!" Akainu roared back, pulling an arm back and turning it all to magma as the younger man rose twenty stories up in front of him.


"They're called the Underworld," Son Gohan spoke out loud as he floated above a street made of pavement two miles from the entrance the raid group came in from. The boy looked down at the circular metal sewer drain on the street, "And everywhere else they've been underground, so..." Gohan shot down to the ground in front of a moving vehicle and the person driving the hover-car freaked out and slammed on the brakes. He hesitated for a second, "Good luck," he whispered, then opened up the manhole and dropped down.

The man in a full tuxedo sitting in the front seat of his red sports-hover-car pulled his hands up to his eyes and rubbed them in panic. Fred Flinstone put his hands back down, but the strange flying child was no longer in front of his car. "Yabadaba what?" he looked left and right, then shrugged and continued driving his awesome car.

Gohan dropped into the sewer and replaced the lid pretty quick so as to avoid drawing attention in this far part of the city from where his friends entered. Metropolis was a huge city, it might be a while before everyone knew they had entered. Though sooner or later, the fights will break out on the streets. Gohan frowned and looked down the dark tunnel beneath the street that didn't have the liquid in it he expected to find, instead being more of a passageway than a sewer. Unless I can find them all first. Gotta be careful down here though, don't want to damage any buildings up above. The fourteen year old shot off in a flash of white light down the tunnels underneath the giant city in charge of the New Earth Government.


"Any of you ever been in a siege before?" Gray Fullbuster asked as Fairy Tail walked down the street after the entrance to the city. The Saiyans shot off immediately and most groups scattered in different directions, but he was glad Fairy Tail was sticking together.

Most of the wizards and witches there turned to the ice user and shook their heads. "Have you?" Max asked the dark haired man who was surprisingly still wearing his black shirt. Gray had been in Aebrith for a long time and still had not mentioned much about the place except that it was in the middle of a war.

Gray nodded, though looking grim as he did. "Alright, it's important we stick together as a group," he began. "We don't know our enemy's strength and-"

"RAA!" Laxus yelled and shot off the ground to Gray's left. Gray looked over towards the older man but all he saw was a bolt of lightning zipping through the air.

"Okay," Gray mumbled, "didn't really expect much there." He saw someone else walking away and called out, "Erza! Where are you going?"

The red haired woman lifted up her right hand and made the Fairy Tail symbol with her hand, her fingers in the shape of an 'L'. As she did, her body lit up white and covered in steel armor, her Heavenly Priestess armor. A few dozen broadswords twirled around her body as she lifted off the ground and shot off towards a different part of the city as Laxus.

Gray rubbed his forehead and looked around at the remaining members of Fairy Tail with him. "Before anyone else runs off, let's come up with a strategy-"

"Screw that!" Natsu yelled, already charging down the street.

Gray looked over his shoulder and his eyebrows narrowed down. "Natsu!" he yelled.

"You didn't really expect him to stay did you?" Mirajane asked the boy who was trying to take charge of their group. The ice wizard sighed and shook his head, mumbling to himself in annoyance.

"Alright, let's head out," Gray stated, hoping this would somehow get easier despite them not even getting in any fights yet.


"Zehahaha..."

The three men running down the street froze. Not one of them had noticed his presence before he spoke, though the man sounded far too close for comfort. The blond haired pirate on the right spun while lifting up a leg, getting ready to kick someone. On the left of the group was a boy in a large metal suit of armor, with the letters 'T' 'T' on the center of it. Timmy turned just like Sanji and rose up his big metal fists.

The teenager in between the other two didn't look behind him yet. He recognized that laugh. The kid with messy black hair, wearing a light-weight, black armored cloak that Timmy made for him, snarled as he tried to conceal his fear. Kirito slowly turned around and stared at the growing pool of black in the center of the street behind them. "Blackbeard," he whispered.

The puddle of darkness oozing out of the ground shot out in every direction at once. All three of the people looking at it jumped backwards and landed out of range of what was now a huge circle of darkness fifty feet in diameter. The dark circle reached the sides of the street, moving around houses and larger buildings to include them inside its circumference.

"What is that?" Timmy asked. He could feel a large power coming from the center of that circle, but he didn't have any idea what the darkness was doing. It didn't seem like the same kind of darkness that Ansem used, so he ruled out the use of the Heartless, but something was still off about it. It still felt, evil.

"ZEHAHA!" the voice laughed loudly as five swirls of darkness in the middle of the circle started spinning around each other. Sanji was already dreading what he thought he heard Kirito mutter, but now he was positive. The dark swirls coming out of the ground dropped back down, and where they just were was now a large fat man. He had a hairy chest, face, beard, and actually, pretty much his whole body was covered with black hair. The pirate Emperor had expensive looking rings and necklaces on, all covered in gold and shiny jewels.

Blackbeard stared ahead of him with hungry eyes. His expression made Kirito flinch and Sanji take a step back. "Timmy Turner!" The bearded man yelled and threw his arms out to the side. Marshall D. Teach, or Blackbeard, used his powers of the Darkness Darkness Fruit to cover half of the block with the black ooze. He smirked as he held his palms out towards the three people staring back at him, "I hear you're quite the hero! Why don't you save them then?"

Before anyone could figure out what he was talking about, Blackbeard closed his open palms into fists. "Black Hole!" The man roared. The entire part of the city started shaking as the ground under the darkness disappeared. All the buildings that were surrounded by darkness started sinking down into the black ground. Timmy, Sanji, and Kirito spun their heads around, seeing a half dozen buildings sinking down towards the street. The buildings weren't just sinking though, the bottoms of them were getting crushed and losing the color to them as even the steel supports crinkled up.

"Stop it!" Timmy yelled at this man. It was clear they had found one of their targets, but he couldn't focus on fighting him now. Timmy flew over to the building that had the most amount of people in it, a skyscraper with the letters GNB written on the front of it. "Don't worry, I'll get you all out of here," Timmy shouted. The boy in the large metal suit grabbed a corner of the building and pulled up.

He hoisted up the huge building, including pulling out all that had already been dragged into the black hole. Timmy started flying away to go put the building somewhere safe away from the fighting, but he wasn't very far when he felt a twinge in the back of his neck. Something's coming. Timmy moved his head a little to the left, dodging whatever was aimed at him from behind. When the fast moving object got past Timmy, the kid's eyes turned huge.

"I wish-" he was too late. He didn't have time to make a wish, as suddenly the building in his hands exploded. What he had dodged was a small ball of yellow light, small, but very powerful. The boy's eyes stayed focused on the brilliant explosion, unable to look away from what just ended hundreds no, thousands of ki's at the same time. There were so many people in there. Good people.

The pink seat-back inside his armor could see Timmy's helplessness as he realized he let all those people die. "Timmy!" Wanda yelled at her Godchild. The boy snapped his head up and Wanda continued, "The other buildings!"

The twelve year old looked down from the fading explosion and saw the bottoms of other buildings back where he grabbed this one from sinking down into the ground. This was not the time for mourning, the battle had only just begun. Timmy flew back over like a missile and picked up one of the buildings by the corner. It was already halfway down into the black hole, but the boy yanked the entire thing out, holding the thirty-eight story building above his head with one arm while flying over and pulling an even larger building out with his other hand. The bottoms of the buildings were dark and crumpled, but he could still feel a lot of lives inside them.

Timmy started flying away with the two buildings. He felt more attacks coming towards him from behind, but this time he wasn't going to dodge. The kid didn't look back, but judged where the attacks were with only his ki sense. He kicked with his huge metal legs fast enough to create large funnels of wind that caught the energy balls heading towards him which he couldn't see. The energy was pushed backwards and shot out towards the horizon outside of the city.

The man who fired the attacks watched them go with a grin on his face, "So you are as strong as they say." Just a flick of his feet was all it took to redirect my attacks out of the city. Hmm, best not to fight him right now. Blackbeard looked to either side of him and saw the blond man from Straw Hat Luffy's crew pulling some women from another sinking building, jumping out of the fifth story still above ground with a dozen pretty girls in his arms. On Teach's other side, a hundred figures all crashed through the windows of a skyscraper almost fully sunk into the ground. It looked like the kid who ran inside it originally created a hundred clones of himself that ran through the building, moving up it while the building moved down and finally escaped with as many people as he could save.

Right as the top of that building sank beneath his darkness, rubble shot up in the air as the roof of the skyscraper blew apart. Twenty more Kiritos jumped out of the building holding another five people each, another hundred people saved. As they all landed on the ground, they noticed the darkness was receding. Over a hundred Kiritos turned towards Blackbeard at the same time and narrowed their eyes at the fat man sinking back into his own darkness.

All the clones disappeared at the same time leaving one teenage boy standing in the middle of scores of saved civilians. All the citizens were freaking out as this kid charged in and out of their ranks right towards Blackbeard. Marshall D. Teach laughed as his whole chest sank down so only his head was still above the ground. The boy reached him before his head went under though, and he punched straight at Blackbeard's smirking face.

"ZEHAHAHA!" Blackbeard laughed as Kirito's hand went right through his head. Kirito was shocked as his fist flew right through his enemy, but also as the man's face had turned into light. Where Kirito's fist flew through the center of Teach's head, a glowing yellow hole remained.

About to run over to stop Blackbeard as well, was Black Leg Sanji. The Straw Hat crew's chef froze though at the sight of a Devil Fruit power he would recognize anywhere. His jaw dropped as he tried to comprehend what this meant.

Blackbeard saw the shocked looks on both the kid's face right above the hole he was sinking down into, and on the man who stopped running towards him. It made the pirate grin even wider as the top of his head sank down into his darkness too. I've had my fun. Next time I'll find Straw Hat, I know he'll be here. I was supposed to wait for Luthor to give the signal anyway, but what self-respecting pirate captain takes orders? "Zehaha-ha?" He stopped laughing as he suddenly stopped descending down into his darkness.

The pirate felt a very strong grip on the top of his head and he was suddenly yanked right back out of the hole he was sinking down into. "Oww!" The fat man with hairy arms, legs, on his chest, and face shouted. He was thrown across the now-crowded street where he rolled over and over and crashed into a house that was outside the range of his earlier Black Hole.

Sanji followed Blackbeard's roll and then spun back to the teen standing at the top of the disappearing darkness he pulled Teach out of. Kirito's right arm was coated in black from the elbow down, Armament Haki on the hand he just used to injure Blackbeard with.

The blond haired pirate stared at this teen with a stunned expression. He didn't know anything about him, except that he used to be a member of the Underworld who one of the Saiyans convinced to join them. They'd never fought together before, and the first time they formally met was earlier this very day. Kirito, who the Hell are you? Who taught you how to use Haki?

"You have two Logia Devil Fruits," Kirito shouted down the street as he started walking down the road. The building Teach slammed into blasted apart in an explosion of golden light. Walking out of the explosion was the bearded man with a smile on his face but looking pissed off as Hell. "How'd you manage that?"

"Zehahaha," Blackbeard laughed. "What I want to know is how you managed to learn Haki since arriving here. You clearly aren't from my world." Marshall D. Teach lowered his smile a little and continued, "And how you know so much about Devil Fruits?"

"I know about Devil Fruits," Kirito shouted, pulling his arms out to either side. Every person standing on the street between Kirito and Blackbeard had long since ran away, terrified of getting caught in the crossfire of the two superpowers. The kid whipped his outstretched arms together into a clap in front of his body, shouting at the same time, "Because I ate one!" The ground beneath his arms cracked, then the entire street all the way to Blackbeard cracked as well in a second. "I shared it with my wife!" He yelled out, his fury at Blackbeard already intense because of the pirate's attack on this city street, but getting more so as he thought about this.

Blackbeard fell down into the crack beneath his feet, but before he fell very far his body turned into a hundred little beams of light. The light particles flew up in the air and reformed on top of a two story building next to the one he just destroyed. "ZEHAHA! Shared one? What a stupid woman!"

Sanji knew what that meant as well. He'd heard several stories about what would happen if someone tried eating two devil fruits, the most extreme of which stories tell of the person exploding. But two people eating the same fruit seemed to have the same effect apparently, He's so young, but he already had a wife. Lucky- no... he was going to be jealous of the kid for a second, but he couldn't think of anything worse than what that kid must have went through then. That sucks.

Kirito's black hair was covering his eyes a little, darkening his face. Hearing Blackbeard taunt Asuna like that pushed him over the edge. He snapped his head up at the pirate Emperor, "You have two Logias! So I know who you are, Marshall D. Teach!" The black bearded man stopped laughing, staring at this kid who wasn't from his world but knew his name. "I know about all different types of Devil Fruits, and what's usually supposed to happen if someone eats two! I know because I was taught how to use mine! The one who taught me," Kirito smirked wickedly at the fat man as he continued, "his name was Marco."

Blackbeard took a step back, a bead of sweat appearing on the left side of his face. "And to respect his memory," Kirito continued, his voice getting darker, "I'm going to kill you."

FD + 61

"Naruto tells me you ate a Devil Fruit," someone called out to Kirito from a safe distance away.

The black haired teen sixteen year old was distracted, but he managed to keep enough focus on maintaining chakra on the bottom of his feet to stay standing on the lake he was on. Kirito walked in a circle, not very maneuverable yet, but good enough to start walking towards the shore without falling in like the first hundred times he tried. If he fell in now he'd be in some trouble considering the other Devil Fruit eater watching him wouldn't be able to dive in after him either.

The man he was walking towards had short spiky blonde hair, as well as a very muscular chest which was shown since his gray long-sleeved shirt was unbuttoned. He had a large blue tattoo covering his entire chest made up of a blue cross and a curved line concave up in the center of the design. Marco watched the boy walk all the way up to him and then step on shore, finally taking a deep breath as he was able to stop focusing his chakra on the bottom of his feet.

Kirito took a few breaths and then looked up at the taller man who was watching him expectantly. "A Devil Fruit?" He thought of what the fruit did to him, turned him into a monster, how it killed Asuna. "Yeah, that sounds like a good description of what I ate," the boy responded.

Marco chuckled darkly, also having heard from the Hokage of the village he was living in what happened to the boy. "Well, I'm going to teach you how to use it."

"And what would you know about it?" Kirito asked the man. "Who even are you?"

The blond man stared at the teen's face. He saw a horrific amount of hate and darkness in the kid's eyes. You were right Naruto, he needs help other than his training. Marco grinned at the kid, his smile an attempt to change the mood, "What would I know?" Marco asked sarcastically. The pirate jumped up in the air and rose about fifty feet with one hop. When he reached the top of his arc, he put his arms out to the side and they became engulfed with blue flames, turning into huge wings. His legs wrapped in flames and his feet turned into talons. Then the rest of his body burst into flames, with long blue wisps coming out behind him like a tail and spinning around his body as well. His tattoo remained on the center of his now blazing blue chest, a darker blue than the light blue flames all around him. His head turned into a bird's, with a beak in front and golden flames coming out of his head. "As to who I am," he yelled down, "First Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco the Phoenix! Eater of the Phoenix Phoenix Fruit, a Mythical Zoan, the rarest of all Devil Fruits."

The pirate dropped out of the air so fast that Kirito could barely follow him with his eyes. Marco landed in front of Kirito and his flames burned so hot that the boy stumbled backwards and fell into shallow water at the edge of the lake. "I'm going to teach you everything you need to know about Devil Fruits and how to use them properly. Naruto picked up on Haki quicker than anyone I know, so he'll be the one to help you with that, but he doesn't understand how a Devil Fruit works."

Kirito stared at the man as his torso and head lost their flames, but the rest of him remained covered in fire. He can control it, the boy saw this and felt relieved. Anytime he'd gotten angry in the last week since Asuna passed, he wound up accidentally using his powers and causing a commotion wherever he was... and he'd been getting angry a lot. "Alright, let's begin," Kirito said, getting out of the water and taking a step forward.

Marco nodded, and then all of his flames went out. The man wearing dark blue pants and a gray shirt sat down with his legs crossed, motioning for Kirito to take a seat in front of him. "What? We're not going to train?" Kirito asked angrily.

His new Devil Fruit teacher shook his head at the teen, "Sit down. There's a lot to learn other than actual fighting. Besides, you're about to collapse. You've been training too hard and your chakra is about to be depleted. Didn't Naruto tell you what would happen if you did that?"

Kirito frowned, going to tell the man off and continue training anyway. "If your chakra runs out, you'll die." "How would she feel if you went out and died!" "Stop being so selfish." Everything Naruto had been telling him caught up at the same time and he sighed, stepped forward and sitting in front of Marco. I'm feeling a little light-headed anyway. Probably wouldn't even make it back to the middle of the lake.

Marco grinned that the kid was finally accepting it. "Alright," the pirate started, "to start off, you have to know there are three different kinds of Devil Fruits: Zoans, Paramecia, and normally considered the rarest and strongest, Logias."

"Thought you said you were the rarest," Kirito remarked, immediately receiving a hit on the side of the head by the pirate in front of him.

"I am," the man retorted. "Mythical Zoans are an exception." He took a breath as he had to regain where he was, How does Naruto put up with teaching this guy? "Okay, now before you start thinking about going out and looking for a Logia to make you stronger, remember this: every person can only eat a total of one Devil Fruit. Eat any more than that, and POP!" Marco shouted it to get the message through and by the look on Kirito's face he could tell the kid was already thinking about going and finding a Logia Fruit.

"How do you know?" Kirito asked the man.

Marco groaned in aggravation, "Just believe me."

"Have you ever seen anyone who had two powers?" The boy asked him.

Marco's face turned dark for a few seconds as he responded, "Yes."

"And he went, pop?" Kirito asked.

The pirate didn't respond. He sat there staring through Kirito as if he was thinking back on something. It looked like a painful memory so Kirito figured he was probably right in assuming the man went pop and it was one of Marco's friends, but the blond pirate finally responded with, "No. But then again, he didn't technically eat the second one... I think." The thought of that almost made the pirate sick to his stomach. "There was one man who succeeded in getting two Devil Fruit Powers, but I would not suggest following his example."

"Why not?" Kirito asked.

This time, Marco didn't get annoyed by the kid's question. "He was a special case," Marco replied. "Because of the first power he attained, and because he was already not fully human," he saw the confused look on Kirito's face and added, "he was part giant," as if to explain it which only really confused Kirito more. "He became the first person ever in our world to obtain the powers of two Devil Fruits."

"You say he didn't eat the second one?" Kirito asked, and this time Marco winced, making Kirito regret asking.

"No," the blond man replied. "He stole it, from the corpse of the strongest man in our world..." Marco paused, his fists clenching at his side. He continued, "My father's corpse."

They both stayed quiet for a few seconds, and then Kirito whispered, "I'm sorry-"

"Nah it's fine," the pirate said, getting back to his laid back self. Marco leaned back where he was sitting, "Marshall D. Teach, or Blackbeard as he goes by now, will get what's coming to him. I've seen a few people who said they died in their old world, so I'm betting the old man is back somewhere around here. I know Teach is here too though. One of these days I know I'll run into him. And when I do," his eyes darkened and his mouth twisted up into a smirk, "I'm going to kill him."

PRESENT

Kirito pointed a finger up at the roof Blackbeard was standing on, "I'm going to kill you. You stole Whitebeard's Devil Fruit, and Marco won't rest in peace until I finish what he was hoping to accomplish."

Blackbeard's surprised expression upon hearing Marco's name turned into one of pure glee, "ZEHAHA! Marco's dead is he? Always hated that one even when I was back on his crew."

Sanji stopped gawking at the kid who apparently knew First Commander Marco of the Whitebeard Pirates. So that Legendary Pirate is dead? And he trained this kid? He noticed something else weird though and shouted up to the roof Blackbeard was standing on, "You haven't used Whitebeard's Devil Fruit in this fight!" The man with the black beard looked down at Black Leg Sanji and frowned. Sanji continued, "He was a Quake Man. Not a Light Man! That power belonged to Admiral Kizaru," Sanji narrowed his eyes as Blackbeard's mouth turned into a wide grin. "What did you-"

"Isn't it obvious?!" Blackbeard laughed, surprising both Sanji and Kirito by his sudden interruption. He lifted up his right hand and darkness coated it, an evil feeling filling both of his opponent's minds. He lifted up his other hand and a sphere of gold light surrounded it, making him smirk at the looks on his opponents' faces. "I awoke on this world without my Quake powers," he shouted, "but what I thought was the worst thing that could have happened to me became a blessing! The power of two Logias, is unstoppable!"

"I wouldn't say that," a high-pitched voice said from right behind Blackbeard. The pirate Emperor spun around fast, dropping his jaw at the sight of the large robot warrior standing behind him. The robot towered over him, which was tough since he was taller than most people. Teach stared at the letters right in front of his face on the robot's chest, 'T T'. Timmy stood right behind him and punched forward with his right hand, but despite the fact he used invisible Armament Haki to surround his steel fist, he didn't manage to hit Blackbeard.

"The speed of light," Blackbeard yelled, his voice coming from all around as his particles were zipping around the air. Six different hairy arms appeared high up in the air, two above either of the two fighters on the street, and two above the steel robot on building he was just on. His arms connected at the hands with a small triangle space between his fingers. "Bright Light Destruction!" A triangle shaped beam of golden light shot from each of the connections of his hands to the center above the street and then shot down out of the air and onto the pavement below.

The explosion that followed threatened to consume the buildings on either side of the street along with the two fighters still down there. Timmy jumped off the building he was standing on though with both arms pushed towards the explosion. Two little holes opened up on the palms of his steel battle armor's hands. As soon as his hands touched the edge of the explosion, it started getting sucked back into his battle suit. "Can I take it all Wanda?" Timmy asked inside his power-suit.

"Easily Sport," the pink haired fairy-seat-cushion told her Godchild.

Timmy nodded and set the absorption to full, sucking in the rest of the golden explosion before it could get any wider. He sighed a breath of relief then snapped his head up, feeling something weird- nothing. When he looked at the sky there was no one up there.

Kirito and Sanji looked around in the air too but didn't see their enemy anymore. He vanished while they were blinded by the explosion. "Damn it," Sanji growled, annoyed that everyone else was able to get a hit on Blackbeard besides him. We have to find him.

"Let's go search for him," Kirito said, speaking all three of their minds. He and Sanji started to run off, but Timmy spun around feeling a few very large powers near comrades he recognized entering the city with. These seemed to be the more imminent dangers and he snapped his head down to the others, "Go without me! If you start fighting him I'll be able to sense you and head over."

Kirito and Sanji looked up at Timmy and nodded at the boy in the large metal armor. The boy saw their nods then shot up above the tops of the nearest skyscrapers. He flew across the huge city towards the enormous monster he could already see from a few miles away. It's going to be a long day.


"Where do you want to look first Vegeta?" Goku asked his fellow Saiyan he was flying next to.

"Why are you here Kakarott?" Vegeta questioned angrily as he continued flying.

Goku tilted his head confused, and replied, "To get Luthor and the Underworld!"

"No you idiot! I mean, why are you here?" Vegeta asked. When the Prince dared a glance towards his fellow Saiyan he grumbled angrily that the third class buffoon had a stupid look on his face showing he had no idea what Vegeta was saying. "Stop flying next to me!" the Prince shouted in aggravation.

"Ohh," Goku said, finally understanding what Vegeta meant. "Alright Vegeta, but if I get into a good fight before you, you can't complain-"

"Sure, sure, just get out of my face," the older alien muttered as he looked left and right at the nearby buildings. In the reflection of a window he was looking at, he saw Goku wave to him and fly away.

Vegeta was looking for Underworld bases like everyone else, but when Goku flew away, he stopped moving. He hovered outside an office on the thirty-eighth floor of a skyscraper, and he could hear the people inside shouting and panicking about him. He just floated there, waiting for him. Are you coming, boy? Where is your Saiyan honor? I come into your city, attack your home, and you just sit up on your big fat island waiting for me to come to you.

The Prince looked up at the bottom of the massive island above Metropolis. As he stared at it, he thought of a painting he saw not too long ago, a painting made by that Isaac guy who could predict the future. He thought about that painting, and how the falling island in it looked very much like the one above him right now.

Vegeta could feel many powers around him, some of them getting larger as the people he invaded the city with found themselves opponents worth their time. There weren't many people in the city he figured who were worth even a single second of his time, But then again, the real enemies are still in hiding. They must have those energy-hiding devices with them. They are here though, they have to be. The Saiyan Prince clenched his fists and shot off through the air, leaving terrified people down on the streets below and in the buildings on his sides gawking as he passed.


Upper City, Metropolis

Mirai Trunks stood at the southern edge of the giant island of the Upper City of Metropolis. Looking off the side he could not see the low city, as most of the city was completely under the island. He could however, feel it down below. He felt those strong powers all around the city below him, some of them fighting his allies in the Government, some of them fighting… no one. He could not feel what they were fighting, just like all the times he had felt them fighting around the continent against invisible enemies to his ki senses.

He stood there with a deep frown on his face, no idea what to do. Akainu and the others are down there trying to keep them from coming into the city. People are dying because you have come here father. Damn it! Why didn't you come talk to me first? The muscular demi-Saiyan with long lavender hair tied back into a ponytail frowned even deeper, But Goku, and Gohan too. No one came to speak with me, even after re-learning I was here. And now these people I fought to protect for two years are getting caught up in a fight they have no part in!

Trunks's body covered in a white veil and he could feel his father down below him. Damn it father! I know Tetsuo planned on attacking Pao, but you could have handled him there. Not here, not in a city! You are so irresponsible! He floated off of the side of the island a little, his eyes flickering teal as he became more enraged by the feeling of other citizens dying down below him. I won't let this madness go on… Trunks was staring down as he floated off the side of the island, but he noticed something at the top of his vision and he looked up a little. He stared through the translucent yellow barrier on the outside of the city and looked far into the distance where he saw a dot approaching. It was flying through the air, at a slow pace, but still he had no idea who it could be considering how many people were already invading the city.

The muscular man from the future of his world's timeline looked closer, and closer, and his jaw lowered as he finally could make out the two figures heading towards the city. "Oh no," he muttered. His furious attitude vanished and he flew towards the barrier, dropping his power for a second and flying outside the city. He shot across the sky like a rocket and stopped right in front of the dot which he finally was able to make out.

The flying figure in front of Mirai Trunks stopped and both he, and the other person he was holding in his hands beneath him, let out loud yelps of surprise. The figure was a child, maybe two feet tall, with lavender hair in a bowl cut around his head. He was holding up a younger boy, with spiky black hair going out in all directions like an older Saiyan Mirai Trunks knew very well. He stood in front of the two children with crossed arms, and the kid who was flying quickly stopped himself before crashing into Future Trunks's chest.

"What's the big idea?" the kid yelled at the man who appeared in front of him.

Mirai Trunks opened his mouth to respond, but could not come up with words as he stared at this four year old version of himself. Chibi Trunks was holding up his best friend, the three year old Goten who had wide eyes at the sight of the person in front of them. "Hey Trunks," the younger kid said in a high pitched voice, "he kinda looks like you."

While young Trunks looked at the older version of himself and tilted his head in confusion, the older, more muscular Trunks frowned at him and the other boy. "What are you doing here?" he asked the children sternly.

"We came to fight!" Trunks's past self yelled at him, and this was beginning to feel very strange to the man.

"E-Everybody went to fight the bad men who killed mom," Goten said softly, looking up into Future Trunks's eyes with his coal black ones. Mirai Trunks looked down at the kid while Goten kept speaking, "Big bro and Dad, they said they would amend mommy."

"Avenge dummy," the slightly older child holding him up corrected, then looked up into his own eyes. "We're gonna find the bad guys first and prove to our dads that we could have fought them the whole time."

Future Trunks stared at the younger version of himself with a growing frown on his face. Father and the others aren't in Metropolis to fight Tetsuo for his plans to attack Pao. They're here to find Luthor. But, why would Luthor... be in Metropolis? None of this makes sense! Trunks spun around and glared back at the city below the island where smoke was rising up from a few buildings on the southern side and a pillar of magma suddenly flew up as Akainu fought the two pirate brothers.

"So get out of our way," young Trunks yelled at the older man with lavender hair. "Or I'll make you-"

Mirai Trunks vanished to the eyes of the two younger kids and he appeared above them. He chopped a hand down onto his own neck, then reached down and caught himself, pulling him up and chopping a stunned Goten softly in the neck, but still enough to knock the child out. Idiots, he thought, staring at the two children. He glanced back at the city for a second, then down at his past self and the black haired boy in his hands. Can't blame them though. Both of their moms are gone. The only influences they have now are from Goku and Vegeta… hopefully Gohan can set them straight. Trunks looked back at the city once more, narrowing his eyes up at the island above. Five minutes, and I'll be back. He turned around and transformed into a Super Saiyan so he would be faster before shooting off to the south to return the two children to Pao. Then, I need to decide what side I'm on.


A/N Metropolis is broken into! The fighters scatter around the city to go find Underworld members. The NEG soldiers aren't going to let them do as they please though, and Akainu finds Luffy and Ace. The Saiyans scatter, but before Mirai Trunks confronts his father he first has to stop his past self, a four year old boy, from charging into the battlefield with young Goten. Blackbeard shows up and starts destroying shit, the city starts to panic, the battle has begun. Hope everyone enjoyed the chapter!
