Chapter 62: War on Fishman Island Part 4: Teamwork
The Sea Forest
A few minutes earlier
Hatchan continued to be looked after by Camie and Den.
Den noticed some unusual about the sea whales and fish. All of them were fleeing the forest. "The whales and fish are leaving the forest...in all my years of living on the island, I never saw anything like that."
A strange feeling of regret started to ache in Hatchan's stomach. "If only I could fight properly...I bet Jimbei and the Straw Hats would smash them." He coughed a bit. "Other than that, what is this Tartaros guild after, what could they gain by teaming up with the New Fishman Pirates?"
The Minister of the Left announced the arrival of Noah, which every citizen decided to flee, and eventually, he found Neptune with some guards.
"Your majesty, you're okay, where is Hoe?"
"I lend him to Mest, one of the Fairy Tail pirates, it was thanks to that young man that I was able to escape," Neptune replied."Hoe is assisting him to rescue his friends from the Fishman District!"
The Minister of the Left was surprised. "I see, so, he managed to save him, I feel like we made a terrible mistake."
"We can worry about that later, did you see the Noah?" Neptune asked.
"Indeed, the New Fishman Pirates have destroyed some communication, on top of that we haven't been able to contact the Border Security!" He held one transponder snail. "Anyway, we need to get you to safety!"
Neptune shook his head. "No...I'll wait for the princess and my sons."

The Minister of the Right arrived with some more palace guards. "What is going on here, just how many pirates are here?!"
He looked down closely, seeing the giant sea beasts unconscious. "What happened to the sea beasts?"
"The three princes defeated them, however, they were easily overpowered by Hordy Jones and his men," A Fishman citizen answered.
"I see...what about the Straw Hats?"
"They along with some of the Fairy Tail pirates are taking on the pirates, I also, heard that some other Fairy Tail pirates are going to battle Demons." A mermaid citizen answered.
The Minister of the Right thought of the details and observed the area.
"I see...I can presume that the four Minks and the cats called Exceeds are on our side?" The seahorse merman said.
"That's right," Three Fish children approached the Minister. "Also, the princess is being chased by Hordy Jones, though, Luffy is going to fight that guy."
The Minister registered everything he was told and understood the situation clearer than ever. "I understand...NOW MEN FOLLOW JIMBEI AND THE HUMAN PIRATES, ASSIST THEM IN FIGHTING THE NEW FISHMAN PIRATES!"
"Sir!" The palace saluted as they charged down the plaza.
The Sea horse Merman began to think of the things that happened. "The Straw Hats...Fairy Tail...are risking their lives to help us...their friends the Minks and the three small cats are putting their lives on the line to help, we made a terrible mistake of judging them, when this is over, we'll be sure to make up for our misjudgments!"
Wadatsumi enlarged his body making himself bigger like a balloon. "How do you like that?!"
Sanji wasn't impressed. "Am I supposed to be impressed?"
In the center was Hammond riding a platform that was being carried by pirate human slaves. "Put the pace you filthy human trash, the slave tank put every one of our enemies in their place!"
All of them were exhausted and one passed out.
Other pirates were being forced to fight the palace guards, leaving some perplexed. "Where'd these human pirates come from!?"
Robin saw this and was disgusted. "How horrible..."
Temukai saw the Conger Eel Fishman. "Snort...snort...snort...such a jerk."
"Hey, don't take your eye off me!" Jaw barked throwing a punch.
The Water Buffalo Mink block the punch using his fist. "Snort...snort...nice try."
Jimbei saw the horrible scene and then had an idea. "Nico Robin!"
The Archaeologist turned her face in the former warlord's direction. "What is it?"
"Could you use your powers to free those slaves?" Jimbei requested.
Nico Robin was unsure about that. "Are you sure about that, they may take their anger on the Fishmen,"
Jimbei couldn't deny that part, however... "That may be true, but, I'll knock them out if they do that, other than that, what they're going through is equally worse than what other slaves endured!"
Nico Robin used her powers to take away the keys and then used them to free the entire slaves, leaving them in confusion.
"What happened?"
"How did our collars come off!?"
"Wow, we're free!"
Hammon noticed the commotion and turned his head to see Robin. "Hey, you, aren't you a member of the Straw Hat Pirates?!" The slaves let go of the tank causing the Eel Fishman to fall on his butt.
"How did we get set free?" One of the slaves asked.
Another saw Robin, realizing it was her. "Why did you set us free when we were all fighting you."
Robin just smiled a bit. "I can't say no to handsome man, in other words, thanks boss Jimbei."
The pirate slaves were surprised, but, before they could say any more, Hammon push them aside taking out his Net gun. "You dare interfere, give me the-"
A shadow-like whip came out of nowhere and snatched Hammond's weapon from his hands. "What the hell?" He looked to see Akame using her Shadow-like whip.
"Who's that chick?" A pirate slave wondered.
"Where did that black whip come from?" Another asked.
The former assassin then tossed the weapon into the air. "Leone catch!"
The blonde assassin Leone jumped into the air catching the weapon in her mouth and bit it into two parts giving the Conger Eel Fishman a nasty glare. "You ain't going to capture anyone else you asshole!"
Some of the human pirate slaves were taken aback by what they saw.
"Holy crap that chick bit the weapon in half!"
"With her mouth no less!"
"That's crazy!"
Hammond gritted his teeth. "Men hand me over a different weapon!"
Suddenly Robin appeared from behind his back. "Cuerpo Fleur!"
"When did you get on my back?" Hammond gasped completely startled.
Robin looked at the two assassins. "I owe you girls something, anyway..." Then another Robin appeared from the bottom. "Now, this won't take long."
The other Robin began to bend over Hammond's legs and the real one started to bend over his upper body. "How come there's two of you!?" He panicked in confusion and fear.
"Double Clutch!"
Snap
"Guoh!" Hammond screamed in agony as his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground unconscious.
"Waah! Hammond no!" A Fishman screamed.
"Damn those three human women!" A Fishman barked.
"We owe you, ladies," Several of the human pirate slaves took in front of Nico Robin while others appeared in front of Leone and Akame in defense. "Let's make them pay for how they treated us!"
"Damn it, the slaves are fighting back!" A Fishman pirate grunt stated in concern.
Leone laughed. "You got some power, Nico Robin," She placed her arm over the Archaeologist's neck. "You know, I used to work at a massage parlor, I still have magic in my hands."
Nico Robin was intrigued by that. "I see, after this battle, I would like one please."
Leone grinned. "You got!"
Akame saw some slaves being overpowered by a large Fishman. "Shadow Make-" She put her hands above her head as a magic circle appeared. "Titan Hand!" A giant shadow-like hand crushed the giant Fishman in its shadowy palm.
"Look a giant shadow hand!" Usopp exclaimed comically.
Usagi and Armand continued their sword duel.
Armand collided eight of his swords with Usagi's sword, however, another sword was taken out of Usagi's outfit. "I got two swords now!" He manages to block all of the eight swords.
"You hid another sword from me, not bad, I'm impressed," The Squid Merman praised.
"You got some skills yourself, however, I don't think flattery is going to make me let you have an opening," Usagi declared.
Tigress and Bass continued their combat fight.
Throwing punches at each other while some of them landed hits on each other.
"You got more skills than I thought Tiger woman," Bass complimented while panting a bit.
Tigress was panting as well. "Same with you, but, this is far from over!"
Barracuna collided his Rapier with Freed's, both of their swords clashing each other while metallic sounds were heard when their blades made contact.
"I will defeat you human wizard scumbag!"
"You can try, but, in the end, the power of Fairy Tail will prevail!"
Lily and Rocky's sword duel was still on.
"Do you and your stupid human friends honestly think you can win this war!?" Rocky asked with a taunting look.
Lily narrowed his eyes. "Yes, you don't understand my friends, they're humans, but, they have good hearts, and they're willing to put their lives on the line as well as other creatures that I call my friends, no matter what my enemy says, we will never surrender to likes of you or your captain!"
Gildarts defeated more pirate grunts. "Geez, none of these guys are worth a challenge." He looked into the sky. "Cana, please return to use safely."
Makarov shared the same feeling. "Natsu, Happy, Gray, bring our girls back to us."
"Fishman Karate: Shark Arrows!" Ray threw multiple shark-like arrows at the younger girl.
Wendy inhaled her breath. "Sky Dragon's Roar!" She unleashed her breath attack creating a strong wind that destroyed the Shark Arrows and engulfed Ray.
The Minister of the Left eventually got a call. "Who is this?"
"This is one of the Ammo Knights of the Broader Control!"
"Alright, where did you guys go, why didn't you respond to us when-"
"Sorry, sir, I'm afraid we don't have any time to explain, warn the whole the kingdom, that the Noah lost power and is hurling towards the island!"
The Minister of the Left gasped in shock. "Oh no, where are you calling from?"
"I'm at the control tower at the Air Tank!"
"Good, use the transponder snail to connect to the others around the kingdom to call out emergency evacuation!"
"Roger that!"
A loud siren was sounded off through the entire kingdom.
"Attention the citizens of Fishman Island, this is a report from the Upper Sea Air Tank, the emergency is that the Noah is falling towards the island again!"
Hearing that alarmed everyone.
"No way, it's coming down again!" Nami exclaimed.
"Damn it, how could that happen?!" Jimbei questioned.
"Something must've happened to Shirahoshi!" Sanji guessed.
"Crap, this is getting worse," Chelsea muttered.
"Why are things getting so tough," Carla wondered.
The citizens began to run for their lives.
"The bubble will break!"
"The island will be crushed!"
"Please evacuate to the outer sea!" The Ammo Knight continued.
The New Fishman pirates were concerned as well.
"It is Decken again!?"
"That son of bitch is going too far!"
Meanwhile, the Minister of the Right talked to the citizens that were watching the battle. "Alright, every one of you must leave this place!"
The citizens didn't move which left the Sea Horse Merman puzzled. "What is wrong, I said to leave at once!"
Three fish children approached the Minister. "No way, we can't!"
The Minister of the Right didn't quite understand. "Child too, what is the deal?"
"The Straw Hats and Fairy Tail Pirates may be humans, all of them are risking their lives to stop the New Fishman Pirates and Tartaros as well!"
"He's right," A Fishman spoke. "We all asked them for help, so, we can't just leave while they're risking their lives for us!"
"Yes, we're going to stay here and watch them defeat the New Fishman Pirates!"
"To do that, we'll support them all to the end!"
The Minister of the Right realized what they wanted, so, he had another idea. "Alright, however, I'm assigning you all a duty, protect the wounded that are nearby and make sure their wounds are being treated, the rest of you can stay here!"
The citizens agreed on that terms.
The Sea Horse Merman turned around. "I'll help them fight as well!"
Static Static
"Straw Hat Luffy!" A voice said over the speaker.
"This is the Air Tank, the ones that you met just now!"
"Oh right, Prince Fukaboshi said something about making preparations!"
"Oh Luffy, I don't know what to do," Shirahoshi whimpered in fright.
They eventually reported the plan and wanted to use the Air Tank to create a large bubble to cover Noah entirely.
The citizens were puzzled at the sudden plan.
"What is going on, but more than that, what is Shirahoshi with him!?"
"Didn't he kidnap the princess?"
"He's a human!"
Meanwhile at the secret cave.
The broadcast was also being announced inside.
"Is that Luffy?" Natsu asked.
"It sure is!" Happy confirmed.
"So, the bubble around the Noah was destroyed, but, this Air Tank is going to be used to create another," Gray thought. "Sounds like a plan."
Aquapad was hearing this too while running through the dark hallway. "Damn, Vander Decken must've been knocked out, though, it's clear the Air Tank is going to be used to create another."
Aquapad's friends were hearing this too.
"Crap, that Vander Decken must've been knocked out!" Jula declared.
"No doubt, Hordy Jones did this!" Thorn guessed.
"Why would he do that?" Angela asked.
"It's possible that Vander Decken is now a traitor and Hordy must've gotten mad at him!" Rena guessed.
"Straw Hat...Luffy...Lisanna...Gin..do you hear me?"
"Yes, we do, is something wrong?" Luffy asked.
Lisanna and Gin stopped their fight which also stopped Aquaius.
Everyone on the island stopped to listen to Fukaboshi's voice, who was barely conscious. "It's clear...what...cough...Hordy Jones is...also, Taron...Saizou and Jester have become different species of Fishman..."
Hordy Jones, Ikaros, Daruma, Dosun, and Hyouzou had glowing dark red eyes showing pure evil.
"He's a monster born from our hatred!" Fukaboshi declared.
"Our hatred..." Sanji said with a puzzled expression.
"What does he mean?" Nami asked.
Jimbei wondered that, but that wasn't the only thing on his mind. "Taron...Saizou...and Jester have become different Fishman?"
Jula, Angela, and Rena were not liking the details.
"Saizou..."
"Taron..."
"and Jester have become different species of Fishmen!?"
"First off, Hordy Jones and his crew are monsters created by an all-consuming grudge, they fear that the grudge of their forefathers will be forgotten, they fear the day that the anger towards humans will die down, they live fast and die young!"
"This can't be good," Chelsea thought looking nervous.
Leone had other thoughts. "I knew Hordy's aura was insane but, it's worse than I thought."
Akame thought the same thing.
"I have a bad feeling," Yukino said a little nervous.
Fukaboshi continued. "They wish for humans to be bad to justify their crusade...when I was talking with Hordy Jones, I questioned his reasons...and his alliance with Tartaros!"
"Damn it, answer me, what did humans do to you that make you abandon your sense of reason, but, more importantly, why does this Tartaros want to kill Fairy Tail!?"
"Nothing..." Hordy Jones replied with a demonic smirk. "As for Tartaros, they want to revive their true leader, E.N.D...the true leader of the Demons of Tartaros...Mard Geer told me that he might know who that is, as for Taron, Jester, and Saizou, they were given Demon Blood, which made their strength even stronger, I even injected some inside me, and it's given me more power!"
Fukaboshi let go of the Great White Shark Fishman with wide eyes of shock. "W-what...that's your answer...and...Tartaros...want to revive...their former...leader...Mard Geer suspects who it is...Taron, Saizou, and Jester are part demons now!"
"Beyond that, the simple truth is my officers and I were chosen by heaven to punish the human race for their actions, with our power, we can do that...NOW!"
He used his dorsal fin blade to stab the prince which knocked him out.
"Mard Geer knows who E.N.D is?" Natsu questioned.
"Isn't that Demon in the book that Zeref took?" Happy thought.
Fukaboshi continued. "I realize that they just have empty cruelty, nothing more!"
Erza was mostly surprised one what Fukaboshi mentioned. "Part Demon, that means the same thing that happened to them is just like what happened to Minerva and her father."
Shirahoshi continued to carry Luffy in her hands.
F
Hordy Jones pursued them and began to remember the days back when he was a child and hanging out in the Fishman District.
He walked through the abandoned town and heard the cries of some Fishman that were nearby.
"Damn it, ever since the Great Pirate Era started, humans kept pouring into our island!"
"Yeah, they kidnapped the mermaids and sell them, even worse, more went missing this morning too!"
"If this keeps up, our island will fall!"
"Filthy humans must die, no matter the costs!"
Hordy Jones didn't reply, instead, he continued to eat the apple that he had, though, it was clear he was angry he went to hang out with his childhood friends.
"Everyone, this guy gave his life up but, destroyed the auction house thus freeing the slaves!" A Fishman announced showing a picture.
"A hero huh?" Hordy Jones said as a grin formed on his face.
"Sounds good to me...hee hee!" Child Ikaros laughed.
"Ca-ca, stupid humans shall die!" Child Daruma cackled.
"Right...we need one, to show those stupid humans who's the superior ones," Child Zeo said with his arm crossed.
Arlong appeared with some of his crew.
"Did you guys hear, Arlong sank another human pirate ship!" A Fishman announced.
The Sawfish Fishman sat down and some gathered around him. "Listen up, those lowly worms called humans, all of them envied us because we were chosen by the heavens and given superior powers, they feared us."
Hordy Jones and his friends were there.
Arlong pointed at Hordy Jones. "Now, they answered that by oppressing us, the human that infests the world like maggots used their only advantage of having outnumbered us, to chase our kind to the bottom of the sea, so, given into your bitterness and make those humans pay for those that passed on!"
A devilish grin formed on Hordy Jones's face.
One day, he was listening to Hatchi's story along with Arlong's sister and other fish children, about Rayleigh. "Nyuu! There's this human I made friends with, he's a bit weird but, he's a good guy, his name is Rayleigh, and he never looks at him in disgust..."
Hordy Jones began to walk away, which got the Octopus Fishman to call out to him. "Hordy, where are you going?"
Chil Hordy glanced at him with a disgusted look. "I don't like your stupid stories Hachi...they make me want to puke!"
Arlong's poisonous words continued to echo in his mind. "Humans fear the judgment day will come, the day of our revenge, remember that Hordy Jones!"
A few years passes, Hordy Jones and his friends were grown up.
"A horrible incident, the hero Fisher Tiger was killed by humans!" A Merman announced.
"So, Tiger wasn't the hero chosen," Zeo said.
Dosun nodded in agreement.
Sometime later, word of a Fishman's father donated his blood to a dying human, so, Hordy Jones and his friends dressed in masks and cloaks confronted the Fishman and his family.
"Word is that you gave some of your blood to humans, is that true?" Masked Zeo asked.
"What if I did, he was dying, I had to help!" The Fishman father defended himself only to be grabbed by the neck.
The disguised Fishmen burned the family's house down, though, they managed to get away.
Hordy Jones and his friends had a meeting in the Noah.
"To think that Jimbei joined the Seven Warlords," Dosun said.
"Yeah, on top of that, Otohime continues to tell us to forgive humans," Ikaros added.
Hordy Jones had an idea. "I think it's time for a new hero, for that to happen, we need to make a kill."
He did, this by killing Otohime and announcing it was a human pirate that committed the crime, which worked as he planned.
The Great White Shark Fishman and his men celebrated not just for killing the queen, but, for encouraging the other Fishmen from the Fishman District to abandon their loyalty to the royal family.
"Anyone that wants to forgive a human deserves a Dosun in the head!" Dosun cackled.
"Yeah, ca-ca, stupid queen!" Daruma added.
"Anyway, did you get any word from Tartaros?" Hordy Jones asked.
"That's the weird thing, nothing, it's been a long time since they left us," Zeo answered. "I believe we were still children when they left."
"No matter, we can continue to wait, but, in the meantime," Hordy Jones placed a bag on the table and opened it.
"Where'd you get these?" Dosun asked surprisingly.
"Are those suppose to be legendary, hee-hee!?" Ikaros asked.
"True, but, with these, we'll overpower the royal family and takeover the kingdom, then, we'll make those patethic lowly humans suffer!" Hordy Jones declared as his men cheered with him.
B
"I realize now, that Fishman District was created for violence and hatred...more like a breeding ground...we pretended not to see the bigger picture...that kept on accumulating in that lawless ditch in the deep sea bottom, on top of that, I heard that rumors of mysterious creatures were be sighted, no doubt, it was Tartaros, or least one of them was seen, on top of that, we acted like we were going forward!" Fukaboshi bellowed as tears fell from his eyes.
"Does make sense, hatred can grow inside anyone other creatures," Carla thought. "Even our kind hated them when they were picked on."
"I even remembered what my mother said back when she saved the Celestial Dragon..." Fukaboshi continued.
"Don't let your hatred poison the children, it'll only cause more hatred through time!"
"But, it was already set in motion even before she pleaded!" Fukaboshi declared in agony. "My mother was killed by the grudges of Fishman Island!"
Shirahoshi began to realize what her brother was talking about.
Aquapad hated to admit but even he felt that too when the queen died.
"Honestly I felt the resentment too..."
He remembered his mother's dying words. "Don't become angry towards who did this to me..." Child Fukaboshi lowered his head with anger and hatred, but, he nodded to his mother. "Yes, we will get stronger and protect Shirahoshi with our lives!"
"Despite the promise I made to my mother, I couldn't help but hate humans for killing her," Fukaboshi continued.
"I felt the same way," A Fishman citizen spoke.
"A person's pain dies with them, a grudge is created by the living, like Hordy Jones and his men...because of my little hatred, I overlooked what was happening in the Fishman District..., before I realized it, it had turned into such a great power that we couldn't suppress it!"
Lisanna had an idea. "Gin, I'll be right back, you continue fighting against Aquaius!"
Gin didn't understand, but, he took her word for it. "Alright!"
"If we continue like this, Fishman Island will destroy itself through our hated against humans...so, Straw Hat...Fairy Tail...please!" Fukaboshi paused for a moment and spoke again. "SET US BACK TO ZERO, PLEASE RID US OF THE SPIRITS THAT KEEP THIS ISLAND FROM THE SUN! BY YOUR HANDS SET FISHMAN ISLAND TO ZERO SO THAT WE MAY SEE THE LIGHT!
The Ammo Knights released a bubble towards the Noah, which successfully covered the entire ship without a single problem.
"Yes, we got the air in!"
"Keep on blabbering on Fukaboshi, but, the grudge will continue forever!" Hordy Jones declared.
"Brohoshi..." Luffy's voice said. "If you let me do what I want, then don't worry, the moment we got to the plaza we decided with Jimbei that we wouldn't let anyone harm Fishman Island, is that right Fairy Tail?"
Luffy's crew smiled in approvement as well as Fairy Tail and their allies.
Lisanna appeared and took the speaker with a smile. "You bet, everyone let's end this war, Fairy Tail Style!"
Gajeel smirked.
"Right!" Levy cheered.
Pango cried tears of joy. "Yes, we'll help save this island!"
Temukai was more determined than ever. "Snort...snort...we'll save the people alongside our human friends!"
Tigress smiled. "Right..."
"Agreed, we'll help save this island," Usagi said with a smile.
Wendy nodded. "Right, anyone who is a friend of our own is a friend of ours!"
Carla smiled. "Yes."
Makarov nodded. "You heard Lisanna, my children, let's end this fight once and for all!"
Sting smiled. "Right!"
Rogue grinned. "Let's end this!"
"Yeah, show the New Fishman Pirates what teamwork between creatures and human are like!" Lector cheered.
"I'm in too!" Frosch added.
Laxus smiled a bit. "That kid got heart."
Leone smiled proudly. "Luffy is more a man than I thought he is!"
Akame smiled a little. "Let's end this war."
"He's so kind..." Yukino thought with a happy smile. "No doubt, he would stick up for me during the Grand Magic Games."
Chelsea sighed for a moment, but she smiled. "Always soft, but, that's what makes Fairy Tail including the Straw Hats so great."
Erza smiled. "As the temporary Guild Master, our mission is to take out the New Fishman Pirates and Tartaros, plus save the citizens of this island!"
Natsu grinned and turned to the three Fishmen. "You guys are going down, I won't let you harm any one of this island especially your people" His body was covered in flames as a nasty glare formed on his face. "My friends and I will make it back home and defeat the rest of Tartaros again, then we'll go defeat the Alvarez Empire, and finally, I'll take down Acnologia!"
Some part of his skin began to transform, which the three Fishmen noticed. "What the..."
"The skin on his face..."
"It's changing..."
"Lightning Flame Dragon Mode!" His body was covered not just in flames but with electricity. "Let's end this!"
Happy successfully freed Lucy, Cana, and Hiramera. "Aye!"
"Natsu, we're free!" Lucy said taking her keys.
Natsu nodded. "Good, Lucy, take Cana and Hiramera with you, I'll catch up!"
Lucy was surprised, but, she can tell her friend he wanted to end this alone. "Alright, we'll meet you outside, but, promise that..."
Natsu began to laugh. "Come on, you know, I always return!"
"I'll stay by your side, after all, if you get worn out, who will fly you out of here," Happy said with a determined look.
The fire dragon slayer nodded in approvement.
"Hiramera, come on let's go, we're going to get you home!" Lucy offering a coral bubble.
"That's right, Natsu is going to kick those bastards to next week!" Cana commented.
Hiramera smiled taking the pink coral and creating a bubble that was soon around her waist. "Right, thank you, Fairy Tail!"
Gray heard the announcement and narrowed his eyes at Dr. Stylish and Jackal. "You Demons should take your advice and stop this madness, then again, your kind always loved making humans suffer, who knew you would do the same thing to other creatures!" He stripped his shirt off leaving Jackal perplexed while Dr. Stylish grinned. "So, let's end this right now!"
Dr. Stylish was in awe though he was flustered. "Wow, quite the daring boy, aren't you?!"
"Shut up!" The ice mage comedically yelled.
"I'll enjoy blowing you and your friends to hell, so, I agree, we'll end this once and for all!" Jackal cackled.
Juvia glared at Leon. "Juvia will make sure that everyone will be saved from this island from evil monsters like you!"
The Demon Panther grinned evilly. "I like to see you try!"
Miyaka and Fujika nodded at each other and then looked at Syka. "Tartaros your rein will come to end, not just for you, but, also for those others that are back on Earthland!"
Syka smiled devilishly as venom dripped from her lips. "Tartaros will one day win, as for us, we'll kill any human or creatures that oppose us!"
Mest finally arrived at the cave. "Jula, Rena, Thorn, Angela, over here!"
The four saw the former magic council member arrive on Neptune's whale. "Mest!
Inside the Noah, Lisanna returned to Gin in her human form. "Are you alright?"
Gin was panting a bit while having some bruises on his body. "I'm fine, though, she's quite strong."
On his chest was a small gap. "That looks awful..." Lisanna gasped in worry.
"Don't worry, it's nothing..." Gin said as blood dripped from the small gap.
Blood was dripping from Aquaius' right index finger. "I have to admit not everyone can recover much from my Finger Pistol."
"Oh no, she can use one of Cipher Pol's Six Power Techniques," Lisanna thought.
Aquaius was barely breaking a sweat. "I admit wolfy has some talent, you have abilities I've never seen before, and on top of that you're half-breed...the body of a Fishman and parts of a Wolf Mink..."
Lisanna was surprised. "Body of...wait, he's a Hybrid..."
"However, it's no match for a Demon of Tartaros, I'll be sure to end the Fairy Tail's strongest wizards including your allies of yours!" Aquaius declared while putting her arms out.
Lisanna laughed slightly. "You're mistaken, we beat you guys before, and we beat you again, Fairy Tail has never given up a fight, and we're not starting today or the day after." She began to transform. "Animal Soul: Cat!"
Gin was in awe. "Wow, quite revealing!" Hearing earned a punch to the canine Fishman's left cheek leaving a red bruise. "Owie..."
"Anyway, I'm not strong as my siblings, however, that doesn't mean I won't fight, Gin, I will need your help, but, if we work together, we can defeat this Demon once and for all!"
Gin was silent for a moment, but, a smile formed on his face. "Is that so, that makes us friends, then..."
Lisanna returned his smile. "Yes, anyone who is a friend of Aquapad is a friend of mine."
Aquaius just giggled. "If you two think you can defeat me, then, you got another thing coming!"
Back at Cordechorch Plaza
Barracuna scoffed. "Does that human Luffy honestly believe he can help the royal family and all those loyal to them?"
"I don't think you understand..." The Barracuda Fishman looked in Freed's direction, who seemed calm as usual.
"The royal family was only trying to help everyone follow their righteous path, sure, the peace you guys wanted will take time, however, things will change with the right ideals, that's where Otohime came in," A small smile was replaced on a Freed's face. "I admire that woman, she's been working so hard for everyone on this island, just for her family and the citizens, but for those from the Fishman District, because, she wanted all of you to have a bright future."
Barracuna lowered his face for a moment. "Is that so...but-"
"No buts..." Freed interrupted as he pointed his rapier in Barracuna's direction. "I suggest that you reconsider what you and your friends are trying to do, only thing you get by killing us is emptiness, that would make you no matter than Tartaros nor Hordy Jones and his men."
Barracuna didn't reply for a minute.
Freed wasn't going to wait long for his answer. "No answer...then I'll-"
The Barracuda Fishman then pulled back his arm and pointed his rapier's blade straight. "One Sword Style: Rapier Technique Star Splash!"
He began to thrust his sword at least three times with incredible speed. "He's so fast!" Freed thought barely blocked his enemy's blade. "Wait, he's planning to get me to let my guard up, in that case," He was right, the that exact, Barracuna attempted to slash the Dark Ecriture user's legs. "I ain't going down like this!" He began to use his rapier to write some runes.
"Got ya!" Barracuna attempted to slash the green-haired mage's legs, however, his rapier was blocked by a different yet strong pair of black legs.
"Dark Ecriture: Aboslute Shadow!" Freed transformed into a black warrior with armor dark as the night with large shoulder pads and a helmet along with a menacing appearance.
Chopper and Usopp notice the green-haired mage's transformation. "Wow, Freed is a monster!"
Franky was greatly impressed. "Your new look is...SUPER!"
Laxus smiled. "Looks like Freed's opponent isn't playing around anymore,"
Just then Armand and Usagi were coming into their location.
The two collided their swords, though, they didn't realize that they were entering their companion's duel.
"Usagi!"
"Armand!"
Freed pulled back his arm and threw a punch right into Barracuna's left face.
Armand quickly saw his companion was in danger. "Oh no!"
"I think it's time we end this," Freed said as he was about to deliver the final blow.
Just then he caught a glimpse of Armand rushing towards him wielding all of his eight swords. "Leave him alone!"
Usagi swiftly came to Freed's defense and blocked all of the Squid Fishman's swords using both of his own swords. "Two-on-one is unfair,"
"Oh, thanks..." Freed said as he reverted to his human form.
Usagi pushed Armand away, who landed a few feet away. "Don't mention it, I think I have an idea to end this, I think..." He paused and glanced at the Rune writer with a smile. "We should the power teamwork between Minks and Humans, that includes Fishmen."
Freed liked that idea. "It would be my honor."
Barracuna stood by Armand's side, who also agreed with the idea... "I think that should do, we'll show our full power and this battle now!"
"Right..."
Wendy was narrowing her eyes at Ray. "Listen up, I suggest you listen well..." The Armored Fishman looked at her with confusion.
"I know, the history between Fishman and humans wasn't perfect, however, I don't think we're any different from each other, so, no matter, what you or your friends think, there can be peace between our kind, if you would know that you have no reason to join forces with such a meanie Hordy Jones and his friends!"
Carla nodded her head in agreement. "Right, I think someone like you needs to learn that humans and Fishmen can become friends, we're friends with Aquapad and his friends, honestly, we're not so different, we'll prove it by winning this battle!"
Ray vanished into thin air and reappeared from behind the young girl. "Fishman Judo: Whirlpool Shoulder Throw!"
He threw the younger girl over his shoulder while facing the opposite direction thus causing the sky dragon slayer to fall to the ground.
"Wendy!" Carla yelled.
"Now, let's do that again!" Ray declared as he did the same move to Carla, slamming the cat girl on the ground.
"I think it's time to end this...Fishman Karate: Arabesque Brick Fist!" He began to punch the air at a fair distance, transmitting the force of the blow through the water vapor in the air to release a shock wave.
Pango came out of nowhere. "Kung-fu Panda: Thrust Force!" He thrusts both of his paws similar to what Ray did, which collided with Ray's Karate attack which canceled each other out.
"Pango!" Wendy cried.
"We're friends, so, we should team up to stop this jerk," Pango suggested with a smile.
Wendy nodded in approval. "What do you say, Carla?" Her partner nodded with a smile.
"It doesn't matter if you team up together, I'll win, and I'll start using this new move I was destined to learn, and no doubt that neither of you three will survive!" Ray declared. "Fishman Karate: Shark Brick Fist!" He used the same move Jimbei did.
"Wow, that's the same move, that Jimbei used against Luffy!" Nami exclaimed.
Wendy put her arms out. "Now, Fast Wind that runs the Heaven...Vernier and Armor!"
Pango saw the magical circle between his feet. "What the..." He felt his feet getting stronger and fast, also, his defense power was increased.
"I have given you a speed boost and defense using my enchantment spells, but, I'm not done...Power of the stout arms that tear heaven...Arms!" She put her hands out as a magic circle appeared in front.
Carla felt her strength increase. "Wendy, will you need this?"
Wendy smiled confidently. "I know what I'm doing, trust me, now go, Pango!"
"Roger...Electro Impact!" He rushed towards Ray with incredible fast speed thus his body was covered in a volt mass of lightning despite feeling the shockwaves from the Armored Fishman's Fishman Karate move. "No way, how is he not dying!" He exclaimed as he was impacted by Pango's attack.
"I ain't going down that easily!" Ray recovered despite the damage he took. "Fishman Karate-"
"Not so fast, Max Speed!" Carla flew down with her new increased speed. "White Moon!" Carla cartwheels into a dropkick on top of the Armor Fishman's head causing him to groan in pain. "Damn it...that was a trick..."
"Time for the finishing blow...Arms II!" Wendy powered herself up using the additional spell of her Arms feeling her strength increase.
She then spread her arms out and began to move them in a counter-clockwise direction. "Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Shattering Light Sky Drill!" A strong wind wall was created thus trapping Ray and sending him crashing into the air and he fell on the verge of passing out.
He took one look at the three. "Minks...talking cats called Exceeds..." He thought as he continued to fall. "Friends with humans...perhaps...that...could happen..." He crashed onto the ground unconscious with a smile on his face.
Tigress and Jaw were barely at their limit.
"You tiger Mink is probably at your limit, once, I land a lethal hit, you'll die!"
"I refuse to die, not by someone who follows a madman like Hordy Jones!"
Just then Rocky and Bass were sent flying toward their location.
"You two alright!?" Jaw asked.
Rocky stood up fast, despite the injuries he had. "Dandy..."
Bass stood up as well and pumped his arms. "Things are getting good, however, I refuse to fall so soon, though, it's time for us to end this, I say we team up and kill these guys together!"
Rocky liked that idea and pointed his katana sword at his enemies. "Yes, I'll cut down this traitorous tiger into pieces."
"Not so fast," Lily was approaching. "Fighting three-on-one is unfair, I think we should even the odds,"
"Snort...snort...snort." Temukai was slowly walking to where Tigress was. "I'll think, it's time we show these jerks that creatures that are friends with humans can develop friendly bonds with humans!"
"I couldn't agree more," Sting approached the two Minks and the black exceed. "Bass, Jaw, and Rocky, all of you think Fishman and humans should kill each other, but, that's the case, you don't understand human nature, though, I admit, it isn't perfect, however..." A warm smile formed on his face. "That doesn't mean we can't get along, if any Fishmen or merfolks wanted to join the Sabertooth Guild, as the guild's master, I would gladly accept them."
The three Fishmen were puzzled at the last words.
"Sabertooth..."
"Guild..."
"Master..."
Gajeel appeared. "Don't think I'll let you hog the grand finale, I'll show these punks that anyone that messes with my friends needs to pay!"
"Enough of this noble talk, let's end this!" Jaw declared. "Fishman Karate: Shark Arrows!"
Rocky took out his Katana and swung it. "One Sword Style: Blade Slash Wave!" He swings his Katana creating a slash-like wave with strong energy.
Zoro caught the glimpse. "Whoa, he's using the same move that Hawkeye used!"
"I'll use this move that is much stronger than Hordy's Water Shot!" Bass put his hands up in the air gathering water liquid that was nearby. "Fishman Karate: Mass Water Sphere!"
"Wow, how did Bass learn that?" A Fishman pirate grunt questioned.
Zeo chuckled. "I must admit, that Bass is something, no doubt, those fools will die!"
Bass threw the mass water sphere towards his enemies which combined with the Shark Arrows and then combined with Rocky's sword wave.
"Do you think you'll beat us?!" Sting questioned.
"Hell no, he won't, let's give these bastards a good ass kicking!" Gajeel declared.
Lily pointed out his sword while glancing at Tigress. "Teamwork, let's show them."
Tigress blushed a bit seeing how cool the panther exceed was, but, she shook her face, and placed her hand on where Lily's was. "Electro Combination Technique..."
"Sword Wave!" Lily finished he slashed his sword.
"Electro Horn Bolt Strike!" Temukai gathered electricity between his horns and fired an electrical charge beam.
"Iron Titanium Dragon Mode!" Gajeel transformed into his Titanium form. "Iron dragon's Titanium Dragon's Roar!" He unleashed a breath attack releasing a large amount of iron and titanium from his mouth.
"I'm next!" Sting enhaled his breath. "White Dragon's Holy Breath!"
The two dragon slayer's breath attacks combined with Temukai's electrical charge beam and the electro-sword slash combination.
The three Fishman's attacks were pushed through and they were engulfed in their enemy's combination dealing massive damage and sending them flying away.
Bass, Rocky, and Jaw were falling to the ground as they began to think about their childhoods.
Three pirates were trying to get their hands on them. "I will be these little runts would make us rich!"
"Yeah, we'll live a life of luxury once we sell these fishes to the auction house!"
"Hear that you little runts, you're going to make us rich!"
Jimbei saved them from the pirates and talked with them. "Boss, do you think we'll be able to live like this, our home continues to be threatened by these barbarians humans." Jaw said.
"Yeah, they need to pay for what they did to us!" Bass protested.
"Right, we'll get stronger and fight off any disgusting human!" Rocky cheered.
"I forbid you guys to think about getting revenge!" Jimbei suggested in a serious tone. "The queen wouldn't allow that, I know she died, but, we can't have hatred in our hearts, things will get better, I'm sure you'll meet humans that are nice and honorable,"
F
Bass, Rocky, and Jaw also remembered what Sting said...
"I would gladly accept Fishmen and merfolk as a member of the Sabertooth Guild!"
The three landed on the ground, all couldn't get up. "Part of wizard guild..."
"Doesn't sound..."
"Too bad...sounds like fun,"
The three had small smiles on their faces and were unconscious.
Sting smiled a bit. "You guys are tough, perhaps, if we met at a different time, perhaps we could have started as friends...but, maybe it's not too late."
"Snort...snort...snort...quite the fighters they were," Temukai said with a smile.
Tigress chuckled a bit. "Yes, they kept on fighting even without using any of those drugs."
Armand raised all his eight swords together and began spinning them around rapidly than a strong wind gathered together. "Eight Sword Style: Dark Twister!"
Barracuna pulled back his Rapier which began to gather water around it. "Rapier Sword Style: Water Pillar!" A torrent of water was sent directly from the tip of his blade, which went towards the dark twister which became a dark water twister.
"Rabbit Two Sword Technique: Electro Sword Slash!" Usagi slammed both of his swords on the ground creating an electric wave slash.
Freed wrote some runes in the air. "Dark Ecriture: Darkness!" He transformed into a demon-like creature with wings of darkness. "Darkness Breath!" He charged dark energy which mold it into the shape of a highly destructive tornado.
The destructive tornado combined with the electro-wave sword slash made an electric dark tornado that overwhelmed the two Fishmen's sword combinations thus engulfing them dealing serious damage and sending them flying away.
Barracuna and Armand began to fall with mass slash injuries on their bodies and losing consciousness.
"No...father...I failed..." Barracuna thought sadly.
"No son..." His father's voice said.
He started to see his father in the sun's light. "Father..."
"I live inside you and I can see how strong you've become...but, try not to be someone that you're not, live your life to the fullest and use my sword to protect those that cannot protect themselves..."
Small tears fell from the Barracuda Fishman's eyes. "Dad...I..."
Armanda was having other thoughts. "To think I was bested by a human pirate and his mink friend..." He recalled back he use to hear stories from Hachi. "I wonder...if humans...could accept me...maybe..."
The two were caught in the arms of their enemies and placed gently on the ground.
Freed looked at the Barracuda Fishman. "Take some rest to clear your head."
Usagi approached the Squid Merman. "I hope that you're reconsidering what I said, then perhaps...we could be friends."
"That was amazing, right babies!?" Bickslow cheered.
"Amazing! Amazing!"
Evergreen giggled. "Those guys were tough, however, they defeat the teamwork power of a Fairy Tail wizard and a rabbit mink!"
Laxus smiled proudly. "I got to say, that was quite the combination, you two."
Usagi bowed in respect. "Thank you."
Makarov smiled. "My children are growing stronger, they share bonds with the Minks as well."
Gildarts shared the same feeling. "That's for sure."
In the Sea
Hordy Jones was swimming towards Luffy. "So, you still think you're gonna protect everyone on the island, such foolishness!" He cackled with a manic expression. "Show me what else you got!"
"Second Gear!" Luffy's body skin turned pink with steam coming hissing from his body. "Gum-Gum..."
Hordy Jones as Luffy brought his hands together which slammed into his mid-stomach. "Jet Bazooka!"
The Great White Shark Fishman was sent flying away but, he regained his balance and stopped. "Jahahahaha, is that all you got, didn't you forget the heavens gave us our power, and on top of that, your friends and those pathetic wizards along with those traitorous Minks and those four stupid cats will perish!"
"Hell no, I'll be ending this now!" Luffy pulled back his right arm which turned into metal armor. "Second Gear Armament Harden!"
Luffy began to feel the new power he gained while fighting Byrundi World. "I promise that anyone I love will never die again!" An image of his deceased brother flowed through his head.
Gum-Gum..."
Hordy Jones swam back down while cackling evilly. "Jahahahaha, I will bite your arm off!"
Luffy's left arm was covered in a stream of fire and he threw his punch "Red-Hawk!" He delivered a fiery punch that caused an explosion through the Fishman's back which rocketed him to the Noah as he coughed out blood.
Saizou summoned water out of nowhere. "Water Summoning!"
"How did he do that, doesn't he need water!?" Happy questioned.
"Usually yes, however, due to my power from the Demons, I'm able to summon out water at my will as long as there's around, which there is!" Saizou then had the water drop on his body leaving his body wet from head to toe. "Fishman Jutsu: Demon Shark Pack!"
Several big Demon Shark Arrows were sent directly to Natsu.
Taron pulled back his arms. "Fishman Jutsu: Demon Fist Fissure!" He punched the ground below creating a shockwave that violently shook through the entire room and then a fissure was heading straight in Natsu's direction.
From Saizou's attack, Jester got an idea, he took his bare hand and gathered some. "Demon Merman Style: Ban Particle Marine Technique!" He gathered purple contaminated water with ban particles and threw the torrent in Natsu's direction.
Natsu gathered his magic into his hands as his entire body was engulfed in flames and electricity. "Lightning Fire Dragon: Salamander Dragon Heads!"
He sent the dragon-like heads toward the three Fishman's attacks which collided at first, but, Natsu's attack was too strong and managed to push through and engulfed the three Fishman.
Together all three Fishman were burned and electrocuted at the same time and getting severely damaged.
The three perverted Fishmen remained standing for a moment as their Demon forms reverted to their original forms and the tree fell on their backs with their eyes rolled backward. Their bodies were burnt to a crisp.
"Yay!" Happy cheered loudly.
Natsu smirked at the three fallen Fishmen. "You guys were tough...but, I won't go down easily, and let your friends know that nobody messes with Fairy Tail."
He looked at his partner. "Happy..." A bright smile formed on his face. "Let's go and meet up with the others."
"Aye, sir!" Happy said raising his paw.
The Ammo Knights were delighted at what Straw Hat did. "Yee-yah, he did, Hordy Jones is finally defeated, you hear that everyone, Hordy Jones has fallen!"
"This isn't over yet, that Demon Aquaius inside the cabin that our friends are, we need to stop her next!" Luffy reminded. "Weepy-Hoshi, let's go full speed ahead!"
Shirahosh did so and allowed the Straw Hat to ride on her back.
The New Fishman pirates were in total fear of what they just heard.
"No way, the captain lost the fight!"
"How could this have happened?!"
"What about the Noah!?"
"Damn it, we're done for, if we stay here we'll get executed by the royal family!"
The other Fishman Pirates started to panic in fear.
"Damn it, let's run for it and leave this island!"
"Right, we'll be safe in the sea!"
Just then, Zeo appeared before the fleeing Fishmen and took out his two large weighted chains, and used them to attack them.
Most were sent flying away while few dodged.
"Zeo, what's the deal!?"
"Yeah, the island going to be crushed!"
"Don't be fooled by this, our captain possesses the power given by the heavens, he can't be defeated by a measly human!"
The Fishman pirate grunts flinched for a moment until one spoke... "Yeah, but, even if we win, the Noah is still coming down and we'll still die!"
Zeo jumped on a large rock and continued to his chains. "Sure, we'll fall, but, those that are still alive will continue our name in revenge, when that happens, our hatred towards humans will grow even stronger!"
"He's insane..." Lily thought.
"You guys are insane, just like Hordy Jones!" A Fishman grunt declared.
Dosun came from behind the fishmen and slammed his mallet on the ground, startling them. "If we're crazy, it's only because the humans made us this way, don't run, take your anger out on the humans, Bogooon!"
Carla hissed in annoyance.
Lily was getting sick of their blame game crap.
The citizens were starting to get doubtful even the children. "Are humans that scary like he says?"
A Fishman gasped nervously. "Oh no, but, humans have indeed done a lot of awful things and-"
Sharley was about to speak until another voice interrupted. "That's enough of your crap!"
Lector and Frosch were flying and looking in Dosun's direction. "You jerks don't know anything about humans!"
"I think so too!"
Dosun growled looking at the two flying cats. "What the hell are you kitty cats blabbing about?"
"You brought this crap upon yourselves!" Lector answered on the verge of tears. "You choose to be this way, you gave into your anger like some weakling, what makes a person strong is their heart, a good friend of mine showed me that a long time ago,"
Sting knew Lector was referring and smiled.
The red Exceed wasn't done talking. "The point is, you got no one to blame but yourselves, you choose to hate as that Arlong guy did and look what happened to him!"
"He's right!" Carla spoke. "Hatred never triumphs, only those with righteous hearts that have love, trust, and kindness can truly change the world, so, no matter what you monsters say, you'll never win with a heart full of anger and hatred!"
Lily had to say his piece. "Not only that, I think you all don't know about human nature as you all think, but, you could have realized that if you only got to know humans better, but, you didn't, therefore, none of you guys will ever win against us!"
"That's right, you bullies will never understand the bond that we share with our humans' friends!" Frosch declared tears forming in his eyes.
Wendy smiled happily at her partner's words. "Carla..."
Rogue smiled proudly... "Atta boy, Frosch."
"Yeah, you too Lector," Sting agreed with the same smile.
Sharley was stunned at the sudden speech. "They're amazing..."
The citizens were touched by Exceed's beliefs. "Those cats..."
"Such loyalty..."
"Understanding human nature by getting to know humans..."
"I think Queen Otohime said something similar."
Jimbei was quite impressed with the speech he just heard. "Fairy Tail has such loyal friends."
The three fish children were astonished upon hearing the Exceeds speech. "Wow..."
Gajeel chuckled proudly at his partner. "You tell them, Lily."
Erza smiled. "Lily...Carla..."
Kagura was making eyes at Frosch. "So cute..."
Millianna began to cry with tears of joy while wiping her eyes with a handkerchief. "Such beautiful words from precious little kitties!"
Dosun sneered at the four cats. "You dare lecture us...Dosun..."
Zeo was beyond angry at being lectured. "We should be blaming ourselves you say, what a load of crap! We will never reconsider, our way is the right way!" He continued to swing his chain. "So, for now, I'll start by killing the worthless Fishmen pirates that are refusing to fight!"
His chain was about to strike a Fishman from behind, however, it was blocked by Brook's sword, which the took Japanese Wobbegong Fishman by surprise. "Stop right there, those are your men!"
"Phew...thanks for saving me, skeleton guy!" The Fishman whimpered gratefully.
"The four Exceeds are right, someone like no...you and your friends will never understand humans, not the way you are anyway, all of your hearts have hatred, anger, and mistrust...therefore none of you would understand the bond they share with their human friends!" Brook stated while pointing his sword straight. "That aside, you never died so don't act like you know anything about it!"
Zeo tilts his head a bit. "What?"
"Die to leave your hate behind, that's just absurd, only thing left behind is your bones!" Brook continued.
Leone was a bit impressed with Brook's speech. "I have to admit, despite that skeleton is a perv, he's very wise."
Akame started to have some respect for the skeleton. "I suppose so."
"True, but, he's a still pervert," Chelsea thought.
"You've gotten a lot more persuasive!" Franky praised.
"That's very kind of you!" Brook said to his cyborg friend and turned his attention back to Zeo. "One more thing, people who waste lives are what I hate most! That waste reeks of shame and I don't need a nose to smell!"
Zeo just laughed as he continued to swing his two-weight chain. "I think it's you and your friends that don't value the lives of others, despite that the Noah is falling towards here, you show calm and boldness, however...all of you will die and I still don't know if you're human or not."
"I promise that my captain Luffy will become King of the Pirates someday!" Brook declared. "He's a true man to his word, he claims he'll prevent the Noah from crashing down, then, I'll believe his words no matter what anyone says!"
Makarov smiled proudly. "I agree..." He looked up at the sky. "NATSU, HAPPY, GRAY, JUVIA, ALL OF YOU RETURN SAFE WITH THOSE FRIENDS OF YOURS!"
Laxus chuckled a bit. "You got that right old man."
Usopp continued to shoot at Daruma with some strange bullets or rather Pop Green, but, the Cookie Cutter Shark Fishman kept dodging each of the blasts from the long-nose sniper's blasts.
Daruma managed to land on a large rock. "I will not lose to you weakening pirate!"
Usopp was silent for a moment until a faint smile was shown on his face. "You might want to stay put mole shark."
"I'm a Cookie Cutter Shark Fishman, jerk!" Daruma yelled with shark teeth.
Usopp fixed his goggles. "Well, if you move a single step, then, it's all over for you!"
Daruma just laughed. "Ca-ca, I ain't falling for your bluff, weakling!"
The sniper looked directly at his opponent, showing a face that he wasn't bluffing at all. "You know I used to lie about that kinda stuff, however, I can do the stuff, because...I'm the real deal."
Stomp Stomp Stomp
The Fishmen pirate grunts gasped in shock.
"Holy crap what is that thing!?" One pointed out.
Even the Fairy Tail wizards and their allies turned in the direction where the loud footsteps were coming from.
"What is that creature!?" Evergreen questioned.
"It's huge!" Chelsea exclaimed.
"Holy crap, that's a manly monster!" Elfman commented with his eyes popping out.
Akame was observing the large beast. "Wait...that hat...could it be..."
Daruma was in awe. "Kyaaaah~! Where did that monster come from?"
Usopp quickly recognized the monster. "Oh no, not again..."
GWOOOOOOAAAAAAARR!
Chopper was in his Monster Point Form with glowing eyes.
Lily was surprised. "That's his Monster Point Form?"
Gajeel was impressed on the other hand. "That squirt can transform into something like that, not bad."
"Scary..." Levy whimpered.
"He's so huge!" Lector exclaimed in surprise.
"I think so too," Frosch added a little spooked.
Carla couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Whoa, he's so big!"
Mako couldn't believe what he was seeing. "That guy turned into a monster!"
Kagura didn't know what to think of what she was seeing. "I don't know how he got so big, however, I think it's good for us."
Temukai was jaw-dropped at this. "Snort...snort...snort...such a monstrous form."
Laxus was a little stunned. "He's probably just as big as Jose's robot."
"He's no doubt bigger than Seryu's imperial Arms," Leone thought a little shaken up.
"Huh, how did that runt get so big?" Dosun questioned in confusion.
"Easy, no need to go another rampage like before!" Usopp assured.
Chopper continued to roar out loudly for a few seconds until he stopped which got the sniper's fear to turn into confusion. "Huh?"
A big smile was replaced on the reindeer's face. "Don't worry, Usopp, I got this." He
Hordy Jones emerged from the deck he crashed in just as Luffy arrived on the deck. "I-I-I...will not fall..." Taking a few more Energy Steroids pills once more increases his strength and heal his body.
Shirahoshi gasped quietly.
Fukaboshi was stunned. "Oh no, he's stood back up."
Luffy wasn't too surprised. "Figures that jerk would get up."
M
Gray and his team knew it was time to end their fight against Tartaros.
"I think it's time to stop playing games," The ice mage muttered as a nasty cold stare formed on his face. "I'll show my new power and defeat the Demons!"
He spread out his arms as ice-like metal soon covered both of them. "Ice-Make Armament Harden!"
Fujika was stunned. "Oh my, he used Armament Haki!"
"He combined with his ice too!" Miyaka added quite impressed.
Juvia swooned at what she saw. "Gray, you look so awesome!"
Dr. Stylish was intrigued. "Very interesting, I should expect nothing less from such a handsome young fellow like you."
Soon the mad scientist felt something sinister coming his way and there was Juvia, who looked pissed off. "You won't have my man!"
The water mage lift her left arm high and swung it downwards, subsequently swinging her extended right arm backward and stretching it upwards, creating a ferocious whirlpool laced with neon pink hearts.
"Wings of Love!"
She cast the spell towards Dr. Stylish pushing him away with great physical force thus sending him crashing into a wall.
"That dumbass!" Jackal cursed.
"Ice Make: Armament Crescent Blades!" Gray fired a barrage of crescent-shaped ice projectiles only that they were made of solid ice with a metal-like substance.
Jackal was hit by multiple ice projectiles dealing serious damage.
Leon saw his chance. "Stupid lovesick girl, you shouldn't take your eye off your opponent!" He extended his fist forward.
Bang
A bullet was shot directly at the Demon Panther and struck the side of his body. "Aah!" He growled in pain.
"Your turn, Fujika!"
The former Kuja Pirate took out another potion. "Fire Bomb Potion!" She tossed a flammable potion that caught the feline demon on fire.
"Juvia is ending this too!" The water mage put her hands in front. "Water Cyclone!" A cyclone of water was sent directly at the Demon Panther which trapped him inside and caused him to crash through the cave's wall.
Jackal was getting sick of this. "Damn it, that's it, I ain't going down again!"
Golden pillars of lights began to erupt from every angle of the room. Drumming suddenly blared in the area.
"What is going on?" Miyaka asked starting to tremble.
Jackal just smiled menacingly. "As long as I can kill some Fairy Tail bastards and their friends, I don't care give a crap...SEE YA ALL IN HELL!" He cackled insanely.
Gray had seen enough crap "Ice Demon: Armament Zeroth Long Sword!" An ethereal sword appeared from his palms, only it had metal substances as well but, it was purple. "I'll take you down in one strike!"
He slashed through Jackal leaving a long gash on his torso, which made the canine demon's eyes roll back and he fell backward.
Syka was stunned in shock. "No...Jackal..."
Dr. Stylish got up. "Oh my, what happened," He opened his eyes to see the motionless Jackal on the ground. "Oh so sad, our dear Jackal has fallen and is now dead!" Though he had thought. "Pity that stupid mutt couldn't keep his cool and now he dies like an old dog."
A venom was dripping from Syka's mouth. "Fairy Tail...you destroyed Jackal and Leon...I'LL GET REVENGE AND MAKE YOU ALL PAY!" Everyone soon felt the pressure of her power from her.
Syka's body glowed as it changed in size. Limb by limb they increased in size and became muscular. Two large spikes came out of her forearms. Her legs became hind legs and a large segmented tail with a stinger sprouted out of her back. Syka's face also began to change as her human-like physique turned more beastly with horizontal slit eyes and razor-sharp fangs. Her hair was undone and gone as another horn appeared on her forehead.
She completely towered over her enemies. "Etherious Form: Demon Scorpion!" She let out a bellow that could be throughout the cave.
Dr. Stylish was liking this. "I think I'll join in..." His appearance began to change as his legs became one with the ground and his size was just as tall as Syka's, only thing that changed was that his entire body was covered in solid stone which was black as the night. "Etherious Form: Giant Solid Stone Mode!"
"To give some more room!" He took out a switch and pressed a button.
The entire walls from each side began to extend out giving more room which was so big.
"This place became just as big as a battle arena in the Grand Magic Games colosseum!" Gray exclaimed.
"Makes sense, since their size is big," Miyaka thought.
"Guys!" They heard a voice coming from the other hallway they came from.
Aquapad arrives inside waving to his human friends. "Aquapad, what are you doing here?" Gray asked.
"What about your friends?" Miyaka followed.
"They're fine, Mest arrived and is waiting outside for us!" The Marlin Fishman replied.
"Good, though, we got things to worry about," Gray said turning his two the giant Demons.
"What the hell are they?!" Aquapad exclaimed in shock.
"Long story, however, we took down two Demons, only these two are left!" Juvia answered.
"Can we use your help, let's fight these guys together!" Fujika said with a smile.
Aquapad returned the Kuja pirate's smile. "Right, let's show that we humans and Fishman can work together!"
Gray smirked in agreement.
Lucy, Cana, and Hiramera continued through the dark hallway, though it candles were still lit.
"Did you guys feel that pressure?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah, it didn't feel good," Cana replied with a concerned look.
Hiramera sensed it too. "I have a feeling things about to get worse."
With some of the other Fishmen pirate officers and some Demons of Tartaros falling in defeat, Hordy Jones, Aquaius, and their followers are still willing to fight, the battle continues and the Noah continues to fall towards Fishman Island, what will happen next, find out.
Luffy: In the next chapter: War on Fishman Island Part 5: Stop the Noah
End of chapter.
