Chapter 2: Amazons, Mages, and Giants? Oh my!

Here we will have Issei's first two members of his peerage show up before he heads to the Alvarez Kingdom where he'll train to get better in his Dragon Aura.

Issei was groaning in pain as he slowly opened up his eyes to see the ceiling of the cave he was in when Ddraig began to awaken his Aura. He looked at the Boosted Gear and saw that the gear was still intact, his body was in good shape, but his partner couldn't be heard.

"Ddraig? Hey Ddraig you hear me?" Issei called out as he listened for the dragons response until he heard nothing but silence. "Damn. Ddraig must've been really tired after bringing out my aura and keeping me alive." Issei said as he felt his chest to see that his body had a few scars and rips that seemed to heal up before slowly getting up and heading to the entrance of the cave where the sun was shining so brightly. Issei shielded his eyes as he looked out and waited for his eyes to adjust to the bright light. "Wow. How long have I been in that cave?" He asked himself before looking at his phone that was surprisingly still in his backpack along with all of his supplies he brought before looking at the date.

"Only a day? That means I only have two months and 30 days to train until the big day! I can't waste anymore time." Issei yelled as he pulled out a map and looked at the Europe he was in. "But even if it did get out of here where an I supposed to train? I could go to the Youkai, Greek, or Norse Factions but I doubt they'd be able to help me with my Aura." Issei said as he looked at the sea before trying to find a place he could learn how to use and control his aura.

Unbeknownst to a figure walking up to him.

"Hey! What are you doing at my cave, intruder?"

Issei turned to see a girl about an inch or two taller than him as she looked like a fair maiden, with purple eyes and medium-length brown hair, which was tied up into large twin tails. She wore a short-sleeved one-piece orange suit, boots with five crossed laces that extend almost up to her knees, and two finger-less gauntlets of a blue-grey leathery material covered in shiny steel stud.

She had an angry pouting face as she was annoyed with the silence while hefting a large war hammer on her left shoulder.

"Hey are you deaf? I said what are you doing at my cave? Answer me cave robber!"

Issei rose a brow, before he bowed lightly. "My apologies, I didn't realize this cave belonged to anyone. I merely found this place on a whim, and resided here until my aura was unlocked."

The girl looked at him for a moment before relaxing. "Okay. I believe you. Your body tells me your not lying but I have to ask. Who are you? Your face looks familiar but…" She asked as she adopted a questioning look on her face until Issei introduced himself.

"Oh! Apologies for the late introduction. My names Issei. Issei Hyoudou." He said as Diane then had an 'Ah ha!' Moment. "I remember you now! Your the guy who's fighting against the Roaring Lion, Sairorag Bael right? But why are you here in Europe? Shouldn't you be training with your peerage? I mean don't get me wrong but your team kind of…..stinks. In terms of power that is."

Issei sighed at her question and replied. "That's an understatement of the century. As for why I'm not training with my Peerage." Issei dug into his pocket, before pulling out his King Piece. "I'm no longer a part of their Peerage."

Diane was in awe of the King Piece before gasping at the realization. "But that means your old team stands no chance. They just lost their best fighter! But wait. If your a King then shouldn't you be getting people on your team? I would've thought you'd have a whole team by now since you are well known in the supernatural world by most of the factions."

Issei chuckled at this and shook his head. "I've actually been planning on looking for future Peerage after my Dragon Aura unlocked. And now that it has, I better get searching for them." Issei said before Diane moved away as Issei stepped out of the cave, finally taking in the young man's appearance.

Diane was in awe of the man's physical physique before her cheeks became tinted a bit before slapping them. "H-Hey! Wait a minute! Do you even know where your going now?" She asked as Issei stopped in his tracks and looked away from the woman as he felt embarrassed by the question until Diane deadpanned at him. "You have no idea where your going do you?"

Issei chuckled nervously as he replied to her. "I-I will admit, I might be a little lost since I've never been to Europe before." Diane saw this as a chance to get to know Issei. Diane puffed out her chest with a smirk. "Well lucky for you, I'm a local around here, so I shall show you around!"

Diane said as she punched her chest a little before stopping behind him. "Oh yeah. I haven't even introduced myself. My names Diane. I'm actually a Giant believe it or not." She said while hefting her war hammer on her right shoulder before looking at Issei's surprised face. "Let me guess, you pictured giants as actual giants?" Diane asked with a smirk as Issei nodded before she replied. "Well this is actually my human sized form. I learned a magic that lets me shrink my body to be human size. It….wasn't easy to be around others due to my…..normal height but thanks to the magic I can now interact with others normally."

Issei nodded in understanding, before he smiled at Diane. "Thanks for this Diane, I really appreciate this." Diane blushed lightly, before hiding her face with one of her twin tails. "Y-Yeah, no p-problem." 'He's really nice.'

Diane then showed him around the forest before bringing him to the town. "Come on. Let's go to the bar. We can discuss some places you can train there. Supernatural folks come here all the time so we might hear some interesting rumors and such. Let's go." Diane said as she led him to the bar where the town residents were nervous around Diane but spoke kindly to Issei before he asked. "Hey Diane. What's with everyone avoiding you?" "Uh well….That has to do with the past of the Giant Clan. I'm actually the last one of my people ever since….that day."

Issei noticed that Diane seemed to be saddened, making him snarl at the people avoiding her. 'Fucking bastards, avoiding her because she's different. And it doesn't help that the poor woman has clearly lost a lot of people she cares about as well.' Issei had to make sure his aura didn't seep out, as the thought of people treating others differently upset him greatly.

Diane then stopped his train of thought as she patted his back before she shook her head. "No. I deserve it. My people and humans haven't exactly gotten along well since our races were feared and hated due to humans always attacking our home and the Fairy Kingdom. I'm okay with the looks Issei so it doesn't bother me because deep down I know I'm at fault too for not trying hard enough to end the fight."

Issei's eyes softened at her, but he still hated these people for treating Diane like she was some sort of monster. "Diane... no deserves to be feared or hated. But I'll put this aside for now, since you asked nicely. Now come on, I'm excited for my tour of Europe." Diane felt her heart skip a beat, before she smiled brightly with a nod. "Hai!"

The tour was great as Diane introduced him to amazing sights such as the Stonehenge, some nice shopping districts, and tasty treats too. The people who didn't know Diane thought they were a couple which made the giant blush in embarrassment and the Dragon in shock until they ended the tour at the bar Diane spoke to him about. "Hey Mira-Chan! I'm back!" Diane shouted as a white haired girl looked behind the counter before smiling at her. "Oh? Hi Diane. Welcome back! And who's your friend with you? Your boyfriend~?" She asked teasingly as Diane rushed to her and banged her fists on her lightly. "Mira~! Don't say such nonsense!"

Mira giggled lightly at the embarrassed Giant, making Issei smile at the fact that Diane actually had some friends in town. Mira then looked closely at Issei, until her eyes widened in shock, before her smile seemed to have gotten bigger. "Do my eyes deceive me? Or is the Red Dragon Emperor on my bar right now?" Issei's eyes widened in shock, before Diane grinned. "Not to worry Issei, Mira is trustworthy. She's actually a really powerful Mage."

"A Mage? Interesting, mind telling me where we are specifically." Issei asked interested in the place they are at until Mira nodded and explained. "Oh, this bar is called Fairy Tail, but it's also secretly a guild hall." She said before cupping her mouth and shouting to everyone. "Bring out the booze! The Red Dragon Emperor is here!"

The crowd cheered in excitement as Issei spoke to some of the people in the guild and he was very surprised to see them so lively until an old man came next to him while Issei sat at the bar watching them all party like there's no tomorrow. "It's a pleasure to meet Issei Hyoudou. I'm the head of this here guild. Pleased to meet the Legendary Red Dragon Emperor once more. You truly are a good man since Diane sees you as a friend. She tells me your looking for members to join your peerage right?" Issei nodded as the old man smirked at him before giving him a drink. "Here. On the house. Eat and drink to your hearts content. You should live a little. You only got one life so you should enjoy it to the fullest."

Issei then looked down at the drink puzzles since, he wasn't sure what to do. Issei was only 18, underaged for drinking. And yet he was also only a quarter Dragon, so he made the most mature decision and said...

"Fuck it."

Issei then chugged the drink as the others cheered for the dragon as Issei enjoyed the taste of it before ordering another one and pretty soon he was in a drinking competition with a girl named Cana who was surprised by the dragons stamina until she passed out after her 100th barrel of beer making her belch loudly shaking the guild before they cheered for Issei as some of the girls helped her up as Issei smiled and enjoyed the environment of the guild until he saw the old man snicker at him. "Hey. If you wish to learn of a way to control your Aura then come with me. It's a power I haven't seen in so long despite my many years as a Mage."

"You've seen this Aura before?" Issei asked as the old man nodded. "Aye... but it wasn't under the best circumstances." Issei shuddered at the undertone the man had suddenly used. 'J-Just how bad is this Aura to some?' Issei asked himself before he breathed deeply to calm himself, before he nodded. "If you could teach me how to properly use it, that would be greatly appreciated." Before Issei could even leave with the old man, he was suddenly tackled by a now awake Cana. "H-Hey! Where do ya think yer goin~? Hic You big stud you~." Issei could feel Cana's breasts on his back, as the sudden blush on his face turned nuclear. But internally, Issei was screaming at the top of his lungs in perverted happiness. 'HELL YEAH, THIS FEELING IS AMAZING!!'

The man laughed at Issei's misfortune before patting his back. "Enjoy the show Issei. She's a flirt when drunk." He said as Cana hiccuped many times before giving him sloppy kisses on his neck and cheeks. "*Hic* Damn your even cuter up close! *Hic* Those girls must be happy having a stud like you Mr. Dragon. *Hic* H-Hey. Mind spending the *Hic* Night with me? I'll *Hic* let *Hic* you *Hic* su-"

THUD!

Cana then collapsed on the bar as she snorted and laughed while sleeping the booze off while releasing a lot of 'Dragon Breath.'

And not the good kind.

Issei winced lightly at the scent, but he was very thankful he didn't have a Dragon's senses, otherwise it would've been a helluva lot worse. But Issei couldn't help but find Cana attractive, and she wasn't the only one that caught his eye. There was also Juvia, Mira, Bisca, the redhead that suddenly came in... 'Wait.' Issei turned to the redhead that caught his eyes, and he suddenly felt his arm throb. 'W-Why is my arm throbbing? The Dragon Essence hasn't affected me in a while.' Makarov noticed Issei's arm throbbing, making him sigh. 'So he gave up his arm to you... your new partner is full of surprises old friend.'

Makarov patted the boys left arm before pointing to her. "That is Erza. She's one of the greatest warriors to exist in our Guild and I can assure you she's a powerful ally but I wouldn't recommend making her one of your Peerage. She….She has been through a lot, especially when she escaped the Tower of Heaven." Makarov said as he sipped his drink before getting up. "Come with me. There's a place that can help you grow. Don't worry. You can ogle the girls later."

"I-I was doing no such thing!" Makarov laughed as Issei followed him with a bright blush on his face trying to deny what he said.

Meanwhile, Diane watched Issei leave with an angry pout. Diane had heard about the Red Dragon being a breast lover, but she had no idea how bad it was. To say it wasn't that bad is true, but to Diane, and made her very jealous. 'I have big boobs too y'know. My suit is just really tight, making them look smaller than they actually are.'

Diane said in her mind as she looked at her chest before hearing a certain laugh that made her shiver. "Ara? Are you getting jealous of the girls Diane? Well I don't blame you, you seem to be sure smitten with Issei." Diane's face soon resembled the color of a strawberry, before she began to lightly punch Mira again. "S-S-Stop teasing me you perverted Demon Mage!"

Mira laughed at Diane's misfortune as Issei went with Makarov to a library where a blond-haired girl seemed to be snoring on a table until Makarov yelled at her. "Lucy! Wake up!" He yelled as the identified Lucy fell onto the floor; before she rubbed her eyes, looking at a particular part of the body of the newcomer as she gasped. "Woah! Your Issei Hyoudou? Names Lucy. Lucy Heartfelia. I'm a Celestial Spirit Mage. Pleased to meet you."

Issei was completely distracted. Why? That's because Lucy overall had distracted him. From her lovely long blonde hair, her innocent yet determined brown eyes, and most importantly, her body that seemed to have been molded by a perverts wet dream. Issei couldn't help but let out a small purr of approval. 'She would make a very great mate, especially with those baby-making hips. ...W-WHAT ON EARTH DID I JUST SAY?!'

Lucy tilted her head at him confused by the purr before Makarov cleared his throat getting Issei out of his fantasy while Lucy blushed at his body before feeling his abs. 'Woah….So firm…..' Lucy said in her mind as she poked them before looking at her guild master and laughed nervously before asking him. "S-So what can I do for you Master Makarov?" Makarov breathed deeply to steady himself as he replied to her with a serious tone. "A map. To the Alvarez Kingdom."

Lucy's eyes widened at the name of the location before her face turned serious. "Master, why does Issei need a map to that location?"

"That's because he has an Aura that we're all very familiar with... after all, our long since passed fire breather had the exact same problem."

Lucy was shocked to hear this as she slowly went to a drawer that had a lock on it before removing it and taking out a paper that had a seal on it before she handed it to Issei. "The Alvarez Kingdom is well known for the Sage Dragon who introduced humans to magic but fair warning is that the Dragon's Aura can lead to their deaths. It can grant one incredible power but the others have fallen victim to it and have been sealed away. Just like the Beast of Calamity. Tiamat. The Beast of Chaos."

Issei winced at this information before taking the map and asking both of them. "I take it this has also happened to your late friend?" Lucy nodded. "His name was Natsu Dragneel. We were once at war with Alvarez, and Natsu had to fight his cursed and immortal brother, Zeref Dragneel. In the end, Natsu lost himself to his aura when I got seriously injured. In the end, they both ended up dying. Zeref because Natsu crushed his heart... and Natsu himself because the Aura imploded his heart, as he had no experience with it."

Issei was shocked at this as Makarov nodded as he mourned the boys death. "Indeed and for years we've kept the only remaining map to Alvarez hidden due to the Sage Dragon's request until now. So take the map and sail on the ocean to Alvarez but should you travel the waters be warned of the many dangers in the sea and the Alvarez Kingdom itself. There's more to the world than meets the eye. Trust me. However I'd like to make a request for you."

Issei rose a brow, before his face turned surprisingly serious, something that Lucy and Makarov had no memory of him being so. "Alright, what exactly is this request?"

Makarov smiled as he asked a simple request of the Dragon. "I want you to bring Diane and Lucy with you. Their good girls and I think they'll make excellent additions to not only your peerage but also your crew."

Issei's eyes widened in shock, while Lucy's jaw dropped, before she immediately shot up with a hot blush. "A-Are you serious Master?!"

Makarov sighed at the girls stubbornness and nodded. "Lucy, you've hardly done anything here since Natsu passed. I want you to get out there and explore the world again like you used to. Why do you think Wendy decided to leave on her journey back then?"

Lucy remembered that cute little Wendy Marvell decided to leave the guild and travel around the world when she was 14. Lucy then realized something. "Wait, didn't Wendy turn 18 recently?"

Makarov nodded. "That she did, she turned 18 last week." Issei was stunned by this. "Wait... I turned 18 last week too. Huh. Me and this Wendy are the same age and have the same birthday. Neat."

Lucy looked at her master and Issei once more before swallowing her spit. "But Master-"

"No buts. Lucy you've stayed in this Guild for so long and have become so strong that it's sad seeing the once bright light leave your eyes and stay behind a desk. I want you to go out and explore once more and see the joy of the world that you haven't yet explored. Don't you think Natsu would want you to travel again and live your life to the fullest, Lucy?" Makarov asked as Lucy looked stressed out as she looked between her master and Issei until she looked at her hands and clenched them a bit before saluting Makarov. "It's been an honor joining your Guild, Master Makarov."

Makarov saluted right back as he smiled at her proudly. "And it truly has been a pleasure having you here, Lucy Heartfilia." Issei's eyes widened at Lucy's last name, until a familiar voice finally spoke up. [The Heartfilia family are known to be Dragon Tamers, Anna Heartfilia managed to tame five Dragon's, including my uncle Igneel.]

'Ddraig! You're awake!'

[Of course I'm awake, though I may be a little tired, it'll take more than what did I did to help you to take me down.]

Issei internally cheered for his partners return until the trio headed back to the party where Makarov told everyone that Lucy was leaving the Guild which shocked everyone until Lucy explained that she would be traveling with Issei to Alvarez which surprised them again since they didn't expect Lucy to return there until Diane joined them and said that she wanted to go to and explore the world as well and for other reasons she didn't want to mention until the party became a going away party as the girls cried for their friends and helped them prepare for their journey while the guys spoke to Issei about protecting the girls and telling him stories about what he should see in the sea before the party ended with everyone collapsed excluding Issei, who was sitting on the rooftop looking at the moon in the sky. "Wow. Alvarez Kingdom. Still. This Aura sounds terrifying. I mean if it killed a guy like Natsu then what are the chances that I have to control it?"

[You will partner, the person we're looking for in Alvarez will make sure of that.]

"I hope your right Ddraig." Within the Boosted Gear, Ddraig looked down at the white space he was sitting in, before he sighed to himself. [Partner... I won't let you die like Natsu did... I promise to make sure of that.]

Ddraig then looked at an image before him before sighing to himself. [Still….It'll be nice to return to a real body.] He said to himself out of Issei's hearing until he spoke to his partner. [Issei. You might not hear from me for a while since I wish to rest a bit longer. The ritual to awaken your aura really took a lot out of me and I wish to help you at my best.]

"Oh. Okay. Get some sleep Ddraig."

[Very Well then. Goodnight Issei.]

"….Night Ddraig. Hopefully I can fight strong opponents in the next three months." Issei said as he slept inside the guild until morning came as he was now at the docks where a massive ship was. "Woah. And why can't we just teleport to the Alvarez Kingdom?" Issei asked as he looked at Lucy who sighed in frustration. "The Alvarez Kingdom doesn't allow teleportation magic to reach it due to the enchantments there. Also teleportation magic can't go that distance since it'll take us about a week to get there and that's if we're lucky."

Diane nodded as she helped load up the ship with supplies and such. "I actually used to live in Alvarez when I was a little girl, I always relied on Matrona and Brandish for info on the land. But like Lucy said, if we're lucky, we'll be there in a week if not six days. Problem is that there are islands that take a while to pass by, some islands such as Amazon Island. And like Master Makarov said, Pirates, like to roam the seas, so I suggest we be wary when sailing. Well all aboard!" Diane shouted as she climbed on board. Lucy and Issei followed her onboard the Dragon's Empire before the entirety of Fairy Tail Guild came out to wave them off.

Diane and Lucy cried a bit as they waved goodbye to their friends and family before Issei smiled at Makarov and the guys as he promised to protect them. "Okay. Let's set our course to the Alvarez Kingdom!" Issei shouted as he put on a pirate hat ironically in the captain's quarters. "Okay, now this is just hilarious." He said, making the girls laugh at him for wearing it. "Well, you are our captain, so what're your orders, Captain Hyoudou? He. He. He."

Issei rolled his eyes, before he took the hat off and placed it onto Lucy's head with a sheepish grin. "I have no idea where Alvarez is, so you're Captain because you've been there before."

Lucy nodded as she took over and set a course there before taking one of her many keys and dressing up in a dress called Aquarius Star Dress. This allowed her to control the water as she made sure the current was perfect. "Okay. Judging by our course we'll have to go past Amazon Island and I do not want to go back there again." She said in annoyance while Issei couldn't help but blush at Lucy's Aquarius Star Dress, as he let out another purr before he blushed and slapped himself. 'Dammit Issei, relax!' Diane noticed Issei blushing over Lucy, making her pout. Diane then suddenly had an idea before she pulled her zipper on her suit down a bit before a massive amount of cleavage was shown.

Issei covered his nose to stop the fountain of blood leaving his face as Lucy giggled at Diane's attempt for attention. "Hey Captain. Looks like Diane needs some love. Why don't you two enjoy some time alone on deck? I got things from here." Lucy said as she looked at the map before Issei nodded as he took Diane out as she kept her pout on her face before asking. "Issei. Would you like to see my actual bust size. It's that….we giants have larger boobs than humans so….." Diane said as she poked her pointer fingers before trying to hide her face in her twin tails looking cute doing so.

Issei nearly had another nosebleed seeing Diane like this, before he sighed. "O-Only if you're okay with it Diane, we only met yesterday, and I don't want to feel like I'm rushing you into something."

Diane smiled at his kindness before shaking her head. "N-No. it's fine. Only when your comfortable with it. It's just that. Yesterday at the party and now with Lucy I was…..a little….jealous. I…All I've wanted was to be in a normal relationship but as a giant that's impossible so I tried to be a human sized giant but their always scared of my strength so……I've never have a boyfriend before much less dated." Diane said embarrassed until Issei ruffled her head before smiling at her. "Tell you what. When we get to Alvarez, how about we go on a date?"

"Y-Yes! I'd love that!" Diane cheered as she and Issei got to chat for awhile until he made dinner for them making Lucy and Diane blush at his culinary skills since most of the guys they know didn't know how to cook unless they helped them so Issei thanked the Valkyrie in his mind for helping him harness his culinary skills before the day ended with Issei sharing his life story to Diane and Lucy who also shared her life's adventures too.

After dinner Issei and Lucy were in the captains cabin going over the map before Issei looked at Lucy and asked her a serious question. "So hey, Lucy. I know this may be sudden but I wanted to ask if your interested in joining my peerage. Now Diane took my offer but I wanted her to think long and hard about it so she could make a good and careful decision. Knowing what happened to you and the fact we met just yesterday, I wanted to ask you know so you can think about it."

Lucy felt her heart stop, before it began to beat even faster as her face flushed. 'H-HE WANTS ME TO JOIN HIS PEERAGE?!' Lucy was ecstatic, until she suddenly paused, as if she remembered something. "But aren't you Rias' Pawn and a Low Class Devil?" Issei pulled out his King piece, much to Lucy's shock. "Not anymore. I left Rias' Peerage the moment I was offered my own Peerage, and they gave me the title of Mid Class Devil after defeating the Norse God Loki and the Hero Faction in Kyoto. They said if I win the Rating Game Tournament coming up, I'll be promoted to High Class."

Lucy was shocked seeing the King Piece before Issei stopped her. "And before you freak out and question the King Piece. Yes it's a King Piece but this is only created for those who are building their peerages and Ajuka managed to fix the kinks with the first one after the incident so now it's only meant to create the other peerage pieces. So now I want to see how many pieces you'll take if you take my offer. Is that okay with you?" Issei asked as Lucy nodded before Issei used his phone and scanned her before her results came up.

{Lucy Heartfilia. One Bishop. Two Pawns.}

"It says here you could either become my Pawn or a Bishop." Lucy blushed lightly. 'A Bishop and a Pawn... wait! If I'm a Pawn, then Issei will always spoil me!'

Lucy pretended to think of her decision before nodding. "Okay. I'll…..Be your Pawn. I think due to my many dresses and the Promotion ability it will increase my power tremendously." 'Also I get to be spoiled by my King since he was a Pawn as well. Heheh!' Lucy mentally cheered as Issei nodded at her answer before putting two pieces into her body as Lucy felt the power flow into her before she clenched her fists.

"Thank you Captain. Luckily for us we should be reaching Amazon Island by tomorrow." Lucy said as she showed Issei the map of the area before Issei noticed the island near Alvarez Kingdom and asked Lucy about it. "Amazon Island?"

"Oh yeah. At first it was called Little Garden due to the ferocious monsters and creatures that lived there along with the local Flora until the Amazons took it over and made it their home."

Issei shuddered lightly at the information but then began to ponder about the Amazons since he had never actually met an Amazon up close. But he knew that Amazon's were rather intimidating women, more so than say Artemis, the Goddess of the Moon and the Hunt. But Issei was always curious whenever it came to beautiful women, and Amazon's were War Goddesses in his mind.

"Hmm…..Perhaps we can meet them someday." Issei said as Lucy shook in fear just at the mere thought. "U-Uh h-how about we d-d-don't? I-I have some issues w-with A-Amazons. Hehehehe." Lucy said nervously as she rubbed the back of her head.

Issei chuckled lightly before nodding. "Of course Lucy. So instead, why don't you tell me these specific issues you have with the Amazon's?" Issei said whilst patting Lucy's head, who felt like she was going to melt from the sudden pleasure.

"U-Uh well there's the time that I-" And so Lucy and Issei chatted throughout the night about her issues with Amazons and how they tried to make her one of them with their insane training, her past, her friends, and her spirits before they spoke about their hobbies and future dreams they had which made both of them happy with the small talk. It was going so well they didn't notice that the night passed by quickly until Diane came on board yawning and stretching her arms before seeing no on was on deck. "Huh? Where are Issei and Lucy? Did they stay up last night? Well I better wake them up. We should be reaching Whiskey Peak soon according to Lucy." She said as she headed to the Captains Cabin where Lucy was snoring soundly on Issei's lap while Issei slept in the chair with his hand on Lucy's head making Diane giggle at the two before taking Issei's phone and taking a picture of it. "Hehe. Blackmail. Thank you Mira."

"Really Diane? That's hardly blackmail material." Diane jumped, only to see that Issei was looking at her with one eye open and a smirk. "Now, if it was me and Lucy naked in bed, then it would be blackmail material."

Diane pouted at him as Lucy kept snoring a bit before Issei looked at her and lightly shook her. "Lucy. Time to wake up." "Uh…..Five more minutes Captain. You rocked my ship like crazy last night." Lucy said as she moaned a bit before adjusting her head in his lap making Diane and Issei blush as the giant looked at him with her war hammer above her head.

"Captain….."

"N-Now hold on Diane! Lucy is just probably mumbling random things in her sleep! I know you're aware I'm a pervert, but I don't just have sex with someone I've only known for a day! Now, please put the hammer down, and not on me!"

Issei shouted as he put his arms up before Lucy fell on the floor and hit her head hard. "Ouch! Ugh…..W-What happened Yawn last night?" Lucy asked as she stretched her arms before looking at her top almost coming off as she looked at the Pawn Mark on her chest before smiling at it. "Oh yeah. Morning Captain. Thanks for the lap pillow. Plus I enjoyed last night very much. Thank you." Lucy said before kissing his cheeks as she left a shocked Diane and an equally shocked Issei before Diane looked at Issei slowly. "Captain….You have ten seconds to run."

"Would you like a kiss on the cheek from me Diane?" Diane immediately dropped her hammer, and was right in front of Issei. "Hai Captain!"

Issei smiled thankfully as he gave her a peck and a head pat that made Diane smile in joy before leaving the Captain alone as Issei internally sighed in relief as he avoided death. Until…..

"Hugs!" Diane shouted as she hugged Issei's head into her bust before Issei looked up at her as she smiled at him. "This is only for you Captain plus my sister told me that guys love being hugged in giant boobs so when I'm a giant I'll be sure to give you a hug."

Issei couldn't help but blush at that thought, he could probably fall asleep on them as well. 'God, if you can hear me from the great beyond, I thank you for this gift.' Issei had completely ignored the pain he gained from mentioning the man upstairs.

Lucy saw this and hissed to herself as Diane stuck her tongue out cutely like a pose she saw once before their navigator left the door as Diane enjoyed hugging her Captain. She bit her thumb as she was surprised feeling the wind push them much faster and the waves aided them until she looked ahead and gasped. "This is great. With the wind on our side. We should reach Amazon Island this evening or tomorrow morning so I think we should-"

BOOM!

"Ah! Who the hell attacked out ship? Don't tell me it's the members of Khaos Brigade already?!" Lucy asked as a woman began laughing at them. "Hah! Don't compare us to those weakling wannabe heroes who disgrace their name by being murders. I heard from a little bird that the Red Dragon Emperor was here but all I see is the brat of Fairy Tail and her caretaker. Along with an old friend of mine. Hi Lucy." The woman said as Lucy looked up pale to see the Demon Pirate herself.

She was a well proportioned figure. She was a very tall, slender woman with long black hair past her waist with locks of hair that frame her face down to her chin, large breasts, a high forehead, and dark blue eyes that had long, voluminous lashes. Her 3 measurements were B111-W61-H91, making her breasts a J-cup in Japan, which made Lucy pout at the fact a pirate had larger breasts than her.

The lady wore a revealing red blouse that showed much of her chest and a loose sarong that exposed her long, slender legs with the green symbol of the Kuja adorned on it, along with a white cape sporting epaulettes more commonly found on the jackets of high-ranking Marines, and red high heel pumps.

"Eh?! Uh…H-Hi there L-Lady Hancock. I-It's nice to meet you again. Hehehe." Lucy stuttered as she saw Boa Hancock climb aboard as she looked at Issei getting up. "Oh? I must say I'm really surprised to see your here. What's the Red Dragon doing in these parts? Trying to get some women or money?"

Issei snarled. "Great, I don't even get to try and make a good first impression, and I'm already being labeled as a greedy sexist."

Boa laughed as she slapped his back hard making him fall to the deck which surprised the woman before she picked him up with one hand like it was nothing before looking at his body. "Interesting. Your Aura is green and the user is not that strong. You let your emotions cloud your mind and I can see that is what'll lead to your death. Also I can tell you have muscle but I can see that your strength is only so good until a stronger opponent faces you. Are you by chance heading to Alvarez? If so we can take you there and our Kingdom. I'd be happy to have my subordinates help you get better and your peerage as well."

Issei's eyes widened. "Wait, seriously?" Boa nodded. "I know two warriors of mine that would love to train with you, as they are both quite huge fans of your fight against that disgusting Astaroth Heir." Issei's eyes widened. "W-Wait! That was broadcasted?!"

Boa nodded as she replied. "Of course. My second in command Medaka was happy seeing you beat that devil to the pillar and made him piss himself." Boa nodded as she sighed before looking at Issei as she led them to Amazon Village where a lot of females were amazed at seeing the Red Dragon Emperor and a few members as well until Boa walked down the dock with two others behind her. "Issei Hyoudou. Allow me to introduce Yamato and Medaka. My loyal second and third in command."

Before Issei could even introduce himself, Medaka ran right over to him and picked him up, before hugging him. "Hahahaha! I've finally gotten to meet you, Sekiryuutei! But boy do you need to get some meat on those bones, hahahaha!"

Issei was a bit crushed by the hug until Medaka as stopped by Yamato. "That's enough. Your going to break him into tiny dragon pieces but she's right when she's saying you could have some meat on these bones." Yamato said as she poked Issei's body making him blush. "H-Hey! Not cool. And I was going to Alvarez so I can train in using this power but first I wanted to see if the Amazons could teach me in any way."

Yamato and Medaka looked at each other before they each had a gleam in their eye. "Hoh~?" "Is that right~?" Issei suddenly began to regret his words, as he realized what he just said in front of two fully trained Amazon-like women. 'Mistakes were made.'

"Now. Now. Don't kill him. Remember he isn't used to our training." Boa said as she saved him until Lucy and Diane protected him from the two girls as Medaka and Yamato glared at the two until Boa pulled Issei aside and looked at him. "Listen up. Issei. We'd be happy to have you train with us. Prepare to be trained as if your in Hell." Boa said as she spoke to her people. "Amazons! It's time we welcome our victims and future Amazonians! Hurrah!"

"HURRAH!!"

Part 1 of the Alvarez Kingdom is now underway. Issei will meet Irene and a certain Sky Dragon Slayer. Now for Lucy and Diane, I wanted Diane to join since I believe that Diane is a wonderful member to be in his peerage and since she's a Giant and has an affinity for Earth Magic. Lucy will also be a great Pawn to join his peerage and a harem member.

After the Alvarez Empire, I have a delicious idea for FGO Tiamat to be Issei's familiar/mate.

Next time on Dragons Will:

"Using your Aura responds to one's emotions so learn to use your Anger and strengthen your Aura." Boa said as she kicked Issei again, sending him flying into the Coliseum Walls.

"Star Queen Dress Break!" Lucy yelled as she was now wearing a Queens attire as she readied her attack at Irene. "This is the true power of the Celestial Mages!"

"Mother Earth Catastrophe!" Diane yelled as she was sparring with Yamato and Medaka.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Issei Hyoudou. You may call me Kurome and you shall be a wonderful sacrifice for my god Jashin!" Kurome said as she clashed with Issei as he was protecting the air dragon slayer who was wounded by the attacker.

"Cao Cao? They are with you?" Issei asked as Cao Cao smiled at him. "Of course. Allow me to introduce my Elite Soldiers. The Akatsuki. Members of different factions who have joined Khaos Brigade. I see you met Kurome but allow me to introduce you to the others." Cao Cao said as he snapped his fingers as many others came forth and stood next to Cao Cao.

"Behold. The Elite Members of the Hero Faction. The Akatsuki!"
