Chapter 63: War on Fishman Island Part 5: Stop Noah

Hordy Jones emerged from the Deck continuing with his laugh. "Jahahahaha...I won't go down that easily." His mouth was wide open showing his shark-like teeth. "The power of the heavens flows through my veins, no matter, what you and your friends dish out, we'll kill you and your friends!"

He rushed towards the Strawhat captain.

"Second Gear!" Luffy's body began to glow pink with steam coming from his body. "Gum-Gum Jet Pistol!"

The swift punch seemingly made contact with Hordy's body, however, in a blink of an eye, he vanished and reappeared several times.

"Crap," Luffy cursed under his breath.

Suddenly the Great White Shark Fishman appeared from behind and grabbed his arms tightly.

"Take this!" He kneed the rubber boy in the stomach sending him flying away and crashing into a deck.

"Oh no!" Shirahoshi cried in fright.

"Gum-Gum Jet Bazooka!" Luffy emerged from the rumble and delivered a strong impact using his palms, dealing damage to Hordy's mid-stomach.

However, the Great White Shark Fishman recovered and took a bite out of Luffy's left arm.

"Aaah!" Luffy screamed in agony. "Not today!" He stretched out his right arm. "Armament Harden!"

His right arm transformed into a metal. "Gum-Gum Red Hawk!"

He delivered his fiery punch right into Hordy's stomach once more sending him flying away again thus his teeth came off.

He slides across barely stopping himself from going any further. "Jahahahaha..." His teeth grew back. "No matter, if I lose more teeth, I can just grow more."

Luffy took off the shark teeth and tossed them aside. "Crap, how strong can this guy get, that Red-Hawk would have finished him off."

Hordy Jone hearing that just laughed. "Please, you don't realize how strong my powers are, despite that you got a slight advantage while on the Noah, it's still not enough to take me down, I surpass the strength of man and Fishman. Therefore nobody will stop me!"

Fukaboshi was having thoughts about what he's seen so far. "Hordy has further mutated than his limits, his hatred for humans combined with the Energy Steriods has formed him into a real monster, Strawhat, I hope you know what you're up against."

At the Condecorde Plaza

The citizens grew worried about what heard when the Ammon Knights reported what they were seeing so far.

"Geez, is Straw Hat going to fall?"

"Damn it."

Mako smirked a bit. "I must admit that Straw Hat is more persistent than ever, though, he's got to be at his limits, one false move and he's dead for sure."

Kagura chuckled which got the Shortfin Mako Shark Fishman's attention. "What is so funny to you?"

A faint smile was seen on the other sword woman's face. "I may not know Straw Hat well, but, I can tell he's someone that won't give up even if means protecting his friends."

She then narrowed her eyes at the Fishman. "Neither will I nor my friends, so, I think it's time we end our duel right now!"

Mako smirked. "Alright, once I kill you, I'll take your head and deliver it to Hordy Jones!"

Zeo chuckled at the news and looked at Brook. "Hear that, looks like Hordy Jones has gained the upper hand, we were chosen by the heavens and our cause was the right one all along, I admit your captain is tough however he reached his limits, and his chances of winning his battle are laughable!"

"No..." Brook spoke. "I still believe in my captain, no matter the costs he is a true man to his word!"

Zoe wasn't convinced. "Say what you want, in the end, you and your friends will be finished!"

Usopp, Wendy, and Carla approached Chopper, who was in his Monster Point Form. "Chopper, are you sure you're okay over there?" Usopp asked.

Chopper put three fingers up. "Oh yeah, I got this under control, with one Rumble Ball, I can fight in this form for three minutes plus I don't pass out as I did, so, you guys won't have to worry about me."

Wendy giggled. "You got so big, you look so tough and strong too!"

Chopper was flustered at the young girl's praise and began to do his happy dance. "OH, YOUR FLATTERY WON'T GET TO ME YOU JERK!"

"So creepy!" Usopp comedically yelled.

Leone laughed. "Aw, the big guy is flustered!"

Dosun was enraged as he raised his mallet high. "Now you made me so angry, I don't care out big you are, all it takes is one Dosun and you're out of here!"

Chopper narrowed his eyes at the Hammerhead Shark Fishman. "Dosun all you want, but, I don't plan on going anywhere...NOW BRING IT ON!"

Usopp chuckled proudly. "Nice going."

"Ca-ca!" Daruma laughed. "You think you can just have a nice chat with your friend, your lucky I didn't just bite straight through you, I'm not sure, why the Straw Hat Pirates keep deadweight like you, but, I'll put you out of your misery."

The sniper lowered his head for a moment until a faint smile formed on his face. "Your welcome to try, but, first..." He put his goggles on his eyes. "I want to show you a magic trick, one that you've never seen before."

"Hah, special move you mentioned about before you use, I can my own myself," Ikaros spoke tossing the Squid spears aside. "These might not have worked, but, I got one more weapon that'll sure cut through anything, Hee~!"

Franky saw the Squid Fishman take off his helmet revealing a spear formation that gave off a bright light. "This is the...Light Bright Spear!"

Franky opened the hatch to his robot and jumped out. "That looks pretty sweet, but, if I'm being honest, it's nothing compared to my ultimate weapon, your squid is out of luck pal!"

Hyouzou's swords were cut into pieces leaving him in a whiny state. "Damn, I don't have any swords, what is Swordsman with swords?"

Zoro walked away looking unimpressed. "Man, such a waste of time, even the baboons were stronger than you, but, if you stay here, you'll croak like a frog."

The Octopus Merman then grinned as one of his tentacles dripped some kind of poison liquid. "Perhaps, I am a frog, the poison within my octopus suction cups is strong enough to kill a man." He gathered more swords that were laying on the ground nearby.

Sanji was on Watsumai's face seemingly in quiet. "Wrap this up, that's a laugh, once I roll over, I'll squash every one of your friends including you!" The giant sea monk said covering his mouth.

The famous pirate cook blew some smoke which seemed to irritate the giant seaman. "Hey, are you listening to me!?"

"Oh sorry, I was in deep thought," Sanji replied. "I was thinking what recipe for a big hideous blowfish."

Wadtsumai took offense to that remark. "What'd you say, alright, you asked for it, you big meanie!"

He began to roll over as Jimbei approached him and did a stance while putting his right hand out. "Have at ya!"

Inside the Noah.

Gin swiftly rushed towards the Demon Mermaid. "Electro Claw!" His sharp claws gave off some electrical surges as he attempted to slash the mermaid.

"Shave!" Aquaius vanished in a second just before the Hybrid's claws came in contact.

"Damn, I missed!"

"Mermaid Double Kick!" Aquaius appeared behind him and doubled-kicked the wolf Fishman on the chest sending him crashing into a nearby table.

"Gin!" Lisanna yelled.

"You're next!" Aquaius vanished once more. "Demon Mermaid Style: Fang Bite!" She opened her mouth revealing her shark-like teeth took a bit out of the youngest Strauss sibling's right arm.

"Aah!" Lisanna screamed in pain.

"Let her go!" Gin managed to grab the Demon mermaid from behind and threw her over to the other side of the room sending her crashing into the wall.

"Are you alright?" The hybrid asked concerningly.

The white-haired girl smiled while holding her injured arm with some blood dripping from the bite marks. "Yeah, I'm fine, that bite hurt, but, nothing I can't handle."

Gin took out some bandages. "Here, I know, this will help a bit." He tied the bandages tightly as he could.

At the underwater cave.

Syka's spikes began to glow and slammed them both into the ground. Not soon after the ground began to shake.

"What is that Demon up to?" Aquapad asked.

"This can't be good," Fujika stated.

Several lights started to come out of the cracks in the ground. "Venom Towers!" Several towers of deep purple light erupted from the ground and headed straight toward the enemies.

"Ice Demon's Rage!" Gray released a large beam of cold air, ice, and snow from his mouth which froze some of the purple lights.

Two purple lights were heading toward Fujika and Miyaka.

"Water Cyclone!" Juvia created a whirling torrent of water resembling a cyclone and used it to block the two purple lights. "

"Thanks, Juvia!" Miyaka sighed as she glanced with a smile at the water mage.

"No problem," The water mage smiled kindly.

Fujika giggled. "You guys are stronger than we are, if only we had our magic of our own besides our Haki."

Dr. Stylish laughed. "Hey, I'm next, Stone Barrage!" He summoned countless stones and sent them flying toward his enemies.

"Fishman Karate: Shark Fist Tile Breaker!" Aquapad delivered a powerful straight punch similar to what Jimbei did when he was fighting against Luffy.

Gray quickly saw this and recognized the move. "That's Jimbei's move!"

The force of the impact began to break the stones into pieces.

"My, quite the handy move," Dr. Stylish said looking impressed. "I heard Fishman Karate was strong, though, seeing in person is another, perhaps, you guys might be helpful in my next experiment."

Aquapad scowled at the former Jaeger. "Sorry you jerk, but, I'm not going to be a lab rat for your insane experiments."

Dr. Stylish sighed. "Oh well, but, we'll just have to kill you, but, what part of your body remains, I'll take it as a gift or just to do some experiments," He put his left hand up as stones began to gather together above his hand.

"Agreed, we shall end this battle," Syka opened her mouth as a strange purple light was gathering in it.

Gray couldn't agree more. "Yeah..." He turned to Miyaka and Fujika. You two, stand back, and take a break, you fought well."

Miyaka and Fujika shook their heads. "No, we're not..."

"We're in this together, that's what friends do, stand by each other whenever facing a strong opponent, right?"

Gray looked at the two girls for a moment but he smiled and nodded at them.

"Aquapad, Juvia, Miyaka, and Fujika, let's finish them off and get out of this cave," He continued

The four smiled in return as a look of sheer determination showed in their eyes.

"Venom Blast!" A beam came from her mouth in a form similar to electricity which first hit the ground but continued while ripping through it.

A large boulder appeared above Dr. Stylish's hand and tossed it toward the wizards and their friends. "Stone Boulder Throw!"

Gray and Juvia held each other's hands. "Water Nebula!"

"Ice-Make: Ice Geyser!"

They combined their magic releasing a large amount of water that shoot into the air and created many powerful icicles that collided with the large boulder and the purple beam.

The Unison Raid was able to overpower the two powerful curse powers and eventually froze the two Demons dealing serious damage.

They were still barely standing as they broke free from their ice prisons. "I ain't going to fall again to you earth land wizards..." Dr. Stylish coughed as blood dripped from his mouth.

"Tartaros will have...revenge against...Fairy Tail," Syka panted heavily.

Aquapad had an idea. "Fujika, Miyaka!" The two girls went over to the Fishman as he began to whisper something quickly.

Soon the Marlin Fishman took a drop of droplet water from his hand. "Water Shot!"

"Fujika!" The former amazon pirate took out one more of her potions which had gasoline inside and tossed the droplet of water.

With that, Aquapad hurled in the air the two Demons and hit the ceiling releasing the gasoline which splattered on the Demons.

Miyaka took out her rifle and shot out a powerful flammable pop of green which caused a powerful explosion that engulfed the two Demons causing the entire cave to shake violently and smoke covered where the demons were. "Pop Green: Flame Star."

F

Earlier before arriving at Fishman Island

Miyaka was having a chat with Usopp. "Usopp, could I borrow one of your Pop Greens, I would like to use one, just one."

Usopp was taken off guard. "You realize you need this right," He held his slingshot.

"I know...but..." Miyaka clenched her hand. "I want to get stronger, I know that our opponents will be stronger, so, I need to prepare myself to protect Gray and his friends, it's the least I can do, so please..."

B

"Usopp, perhaps, I'll be the one to surpass you once you become the Sniper King yourself," The former marine sniper thought with a smile.

M

Natsu caught up with Lucy and the others. "Lucy!"

"Natsu!" She cried happily.

"We beat them!" The fire dragon slayer boasted.

Hiramera approached the pinkette boy. "Natsu Dragneel, was that your name?"

The dragon slayer nodded with a smirk.

The mermaid bowed her head in gratitude. "I'm grateful that you and your friends saved us."

Natsu began to exclaim. "Uhh...no need to be so formal!" He replied slightly turning his face away.

Fujika giggled at the pinkette boy's reaction which she found cute. "Aw, he's flattered."

"Hey, we still need to reunite with the others," Cana reminded us.

"She's right, Gray and the others are back in the other room with some Demons too!" Happy added.

Then they felt the violent shake. "What was that?" Lucy asked taken back at the sudden shake.

"It sounded like a tremor or quake," Cana answered.

Natsu heard the sound well. "Yeah, and it was coming from the room where Gray and the others are!" He began to sense two strong presence, however, he wasn't using his Magic Sensor. "What is this, how I can sense curse powers, not magic..."

"Hey, Natsu!" Cana's voice interrupted. "Stop spacing out, let's get to where the sound was!"

Natsu shook his head recollecting himself. "Oh right!"

"Let's go!" Lucy ran off with the others behind her as she glanced at the fire dragon slayer. "Natsu, what happened?"

Fujika realized something. "Could Natsu's own Haki somehow..awoken..."

Back at the Noah.

Luffy's wound was starting to take a toll on him which Hordy Jones noticed. "Looks like you reached your limit Strawhat, on the brink of death, there's no chance in hell you can defeat me, just give up and save yourself the misery!"

"No..." The rubber man replied as the sheer determination was shown in his eyes. "I told you no matter what, I'll protect my friends, you can save whatever crap you want, but, I will never surrender not to a jerk like you!"

Hordy Jones smirked amusingly. "You humans can be so arrogant it amuses me, you're more like to yourselves killed than admit how weak you lowly primates are, fine, then, prepare yourself to die!"

"Just shut up and let this over with!" Luffy yelled impatiently.

"Alright, let's end this!" Hordy Jones put his arms into the deck and water was gathered around him. "Fishman Jutsu: Water Heart Shark!"

Large amounts of water were sent which took the shape of sharks.

Luffy dodged them as much as he could, but the moment he was wide open, several water sharks managed to deal serious damage which the young pirate to fall motionless.

Shirahoshi gasped in horror.

"Please noooo!" Fukaboshi screamed equally horrified.

"Looks like I win," Hordy Jones cackled.

Luffy put his thumb in his mouth. "Third Gear..." He bit his thumb which enlarged his arm including his hand. "Armament Harden!"

Hordy Jones was getting sick of this. "Insolent fool, how much will it take to kill you!" He used his Fishman Karate Jutsu again creating more water-like sharks.

"Gum-Gum Elephant Gun!" His fist collided with the water sharks which both seemed equally matched.

"That won't work, I surpassed the strength of man and Fishman, you can't beat me!" Hordy Jones declared with a malicious smile.

"Shut up, I had enough of you!" Luffy pushed his fist forward and slammed right into him with powerful force.

The impact send him crashing into a nearby cabin, and he began to pant slowly. "Revenge...humans...Noah...kill...them...they deserve to pay for stealing our pride as Fishmen..."

Luffy enlarged his other hand. "Argh!" He roared unleashing a barrage of giant powerfulpunches. "Gum-Gum Elephant Gatling!"

Inside the Noah.

Lisanna attempted to claw the Demon, however, due to her Shave technique, she was able to vanish away without getting a scratch.

Gin appeared behind the Demon Mermaid. "Fishman Jiu-Jitsu: Low Tide Shoulder Throw!" He grabbed her body and threw her over his shoulder crashing into the floor with great force.

"Good job!" Lisanna praised.

Aquaius emerged from the hole she was thrown in. "Damn, that was strong, Fishman Jitsu isn't more typical than I thought." She brushed off the dust off her arms, though she seemed slightly injured.

"She's tougher than I thought," Lisanna thought. "Then again, she was able to defeat Esdeath."

Zeo continued to swing his two-weighted chain creating a circle around him. "This is my space you wash-up pile of bones, take one step in this circle and you'll be dead all over again...I promise...heh...heh...your move."

Soon the Wobblegong Shark Fishman began to hear a humming sound coming from the skeleton pirate, who was moving slowly through the circle as if he was in slow motion.

"Sorry, but, I already made it through the circle and cut," He was right, Brook sheathed his sword. "Also, as a fair warning, this will be cold."

Zeo turned his head in confusion. "What...when did you get in here?!"

"Solid Scratches: Blizzard Slice!" A large ice gash appeared on Zeo.

"That's the first line, even blood freezes in the wind of hell and..." Brook began to laugh. "I hope it flips some skirts up too!"

Daruma leaped in the air. "Got ya!" Suddenly large plant-like figures emerged from the ground.

"Green Star: Human Drake!" Usopp whispered.

The human drake plants snatched the Cookie Cutter Shark Fishman and tossed him onto a plant that was in the ground. "Green Star Trampolia!" He aimed again. "As you can see, now that you're in the air, you can' defend yourself."

Daruma was sent flying into the air leaving him vulnerable like Usopp said, he wasn't finished either. "Secret Attack, Green Star!"

Once again, Usopp fired a Green Pop which turned into a large tree that took the form of a large wolf.

"I don't care about your dumb dog, I'll rip to shreds!" Daruma cackled.

"I wouldn't, you see that red bulb on its nose has a diameter of 3 meters and it releases a stunningly powerful shockwave!" Usopp explained.

The tree wolf's nose made contact with the Cookie Cutter Shark releasing a strong shockwave that knocked him out. "Impact Wolf...not bad huh?"

Dosun began to swirl around and was picking up speed. "Dosun! Dosun! Bogaan! Well then, how far are you going to fly away!" He was getting closer and closer. "Papar Hammer!"

Chopper swung his right arm. "Cloven Rose, Palm!" He slammed his palm right into the Fishman critically damaging him and destroying his large mallet.

Mako swung his two-blade sword for a moment. "It's time we end with our blades!"

Kagura couldn't agree more. "I agree!"

"Two Blade Style: Double Strike!" Mako swiftly charged toward the swordswoman.

Kagura stood calm for a moment as she was sensing his move, then for a split second, she vanished quickly. "Sword Sheath Style: Strong Lion Strike Form!" Without removing her sword from its sheath, both of their attacks seemingly made contact as they passed each other.

The two stood still for a moment, then Kagura turned around pointing her sword toward the Fishman.

Mako glanced at the woman for a second. "Looks like...I lost..." His chest had a gash on his body as he began to fall forward until he was on the ground laying on his stomach and his sword was dropped beside him.

Kagura smiled a bit. "You are strong, perhaps, someday we can have a rematch."

Ikaros was charging toward Franky. "Ikakikaikaika...you won't make fried squid out of me!"

Franky put his hands together gathering light between them. "Franky Radical Beam!"

The smirk was that on Ikaros' face was replaced by a look of fear. "Wha!?"

The light gathered and a laser beam was released toward the Squid Fishman which caused an explosion that blew him away and completely burned his entire body to a crisp. "I WAS WRONG!"

"Wow!" Chopper exclaimed with stars in his eyes.

"It's got a laser beam too!?" Usopp questioned who also has stars in his eyes.

Robin and Nami weren't impressed, though, most of Fairy Tail and their allies were greatly amazed by what they just saw.

"No way!" Sting screamed excitedly.

"That was strong!" Lector added.

Chelsea was in awe. "Whoa..."

Leone laughed. "Wow, that's super cool!"

Pango was so amazed that he had stars in his eyes. "Wow, so cool!"

Gajeel did his trademark laugh. "That was strong."

Levy sighed. "Should've known."

"Meow, such a blast!" Millianna commented in surprise.

Gildarts grinned. "That's quite impressive."

"That's so manly!" Elfman roared pumping his arms.

"That was super, right babies?!" Bickslow chuckled.

"Super! Super!" The dolls chanted.

Mirajane giggled and then she looked up at the surface. "Lisanna...return safe."

Wadatsumi continues to roll over in Jimbei's direction.

"Fishman Karate: Vagabond Drill!"

Jimbei's hands were covered in a pack of water and he hurled them right at the water monk's body which delivered a powerful shockwave through his entire body.

Pop

The other side of Wadatsumi's body sprung a leak causing him to blow out the air from his mouth and he went off flying like a balloon. "All the air is going to come out!"

"That was unusual," Carla thought a little creeped out.

Sanji started to walk in the air using Sky Walk and got closer in front of the sea monk, who was taken by surprise. "You can fly, you scared the guts out of me!"

"Those last two years..." The cook thought of the memories of strange crossdressers even their voices.

"Oh, Sanji!"

"I went through hell..." Sanji declared with fury as his entire body was covered in flames. "IT ISN'T FAIR!"

Wadatsumi was in disbelief. "He's on fire!"

"I WANT TO BURN THOSE DAYS TO ASHES!" Sanji declared with fire in his eyes as he swung his foot. "HELL MEMORIES!"

He kicked the giant sea monk's head with incredible force and his body was covered in the fire as well plus burning his body to a crisp.

"Scared the guts out of you...fine by me, blowfish's guts are toxic and we need to take care of that," Sanji said with a nasty glare on his face.

Hyouzou lunged toward Zoro with his poison-covered swords. "Let's see you block this!"

Erza saw this and was a little concerned until she saw the calm expression on Zoro's face, who didn't even look back.

"Forget it frog, it's over..."

"I told you I'm not a frog, I'm the Master Swordsman of Fishman Island, Hyouzou, and champion of the Eight Sword Style!" The Octopus Merman declared getting closer and closer.

"Purgatory Onigiri!" Zoro turned around and leaped towards the attacked Octopus Merman and delivered a lightning-fast-triple slash with such speed.

Hyouzou's swords were cut into pieces and his body took serious damage thus defeating him.

"My bad, you're not a frog, but, you did croak," Zoro spoke with his third sword in his mouth.

Erza was greatly impressed and was getting an idea. "I wonder if I could use my magic that way?"

Kagura had to admit she was more impressed than ever. "He defeated that Octopus Merman in the blink of an eye and I didn't even see him move...I can see why he's the vice-captain of the Strawhat Pirates."

Luffy continued to inflict so much damage on Hordy Jones that before anyone realized it the Great White Shark Fishman was sent flying off the Noah.

Fukaboshi and Shirahoshi were astonished.

The Ammo Knights shared the same reaction and were relieved too. "He did...HORDY JONES HAS FINALLY BEEN DEFEATED!"

Aquaius heard this and this time she got more serious. "It's time for me to take this to the next level."

Her Demon form was replaced with Esdeath's figure including her face and her rapier. "You remember my other Curse Power, it's Absorption, which belonged to one of the Nine Demon Gates."

"This battle just got difficult," Lisanna thought.

"Hold on, she can turn into a human?!" Gin questioned in shock, he turned to Lisanna. "Lisanna, what is going on?"

The youngest Strauss sibling knew there won't be time to explain, so, she decided to keep her answer short. "She took the form of a human that she killed, she's from the world Akame, Leone, and Chelsea are from."

Even with that answer, Gin was still a bit puzzled. "The other world, what does-" He couldn't get any more words out as Lisanna's voice interrupted. "Gin, I understand that you're confused, but, for now, we have to be careful, Esdeath's power is something not to take lightly, don't try anything reckless!"

The hybrid saw the look of seriousness in her eyes but, also, fear, so he decided to take her word for it. "Alright..." He turned to Aquaius in Esdeath's human form. "Listen up you, I don't know what kind of power you have, but, I do know that we'll take whatever you dish out!"

Aquaius took out Esdeath's rapier. "Alright, this should be fun."

M

Natsu and the others arrived where Gray's group was.

"Gray!" Lucy called out.

"Lucy, Cana, you guys are alright!" The ice mage said with relief.

Hearing Lucy's name being called out first, made a certain water mage envious. "Rival...rival..." Juvia chanted with a dark aura coming out of her body.

Lucy took a few steps away. "Wait, what's wrong?" She whimpered comedically.

"No surprise," Cana laughed.

"Aquapad, you're alright too," Happy called out.

The Marlin Fishman waved. "You bet!"

"Anyway, what happened to the other Demons?" Natsu asked.

"We defeated them together," Gray answered as his rival suddenly got all down in the dumps.

"What is wrong?" Hiramera asked worriedly.

"No way, I wanted to fight them too!" Natsu pouted.

"That's the reason you all pouty!?" Gray, Miyaka, and Aquapad questioned in unison.

"That's Natsu for ya," Happy giggled no surprised.

"However..." Gray's face was replaced with confusion and wonder. "One of them snuck off, I believe it was the one that killed Esdeath and absorbed her soul."

"That's right, she isn't here, but, where would she have run off to?" Aquapad questioned.

Natsu then remembered which was rare for him. "Wait...I think I know,"

F

"Is that mermaid demon still here?" Natsu asked one of the three perverted Fishmen.

"Not quite, she has plans to kill Hordy Jones and those idiots from the island, she and Vander Decken have surely arrived at Noah, they plan to use that giant vessel to crush everyone with it!" Saizou answered with a dark smile.

"Yeah, your friends will be crushed to their bones," Jester cackled.

"I'm sure you can guess, what else she has in mind, as you know, she also plans to kill Strawhat Luffy, without that brat this island will be doomed," Taron said almost on the brink of death.

"You'd better get going otherwise Fairy Tail's strongest wizards and those other fools will be dead for good!"

B

Natsu then realized something. "Oh no, guys, we need to leave, is Mest here?"

Aquapad decided to answer that. "He's outside with my friends!"

"In that case, we need to get the ship right away!" Natsu said running in a flash.

"Wait for us!" Lucy called.

The others followed though some were confused why the pinkette boy was so eager to rush off.

They met up with Mest and Aquapad's childhood friends, Natsu explained the situation and everyone gasped in horror.

Back at the Conchcorde Plaza

All of Hordy's officers collapsed on the ground with their eyes rolled back.

The Fishman pirate grunts were in disbelief.

"They defeated Hordy's men!"

"Yeah, those officers like Demons sent from hell!"

"The other officers were strong!"

The Minister of the Right and palace guards were just surprised as well.

"And yet, they were defeated by the Strawhat pirates and Fairy Tail along with their friends the Minks and the Exceeds...glad that they're on our side!"

"Heads up, the danger is on the way down!" Sanji was falling.

Wadatsumi's unconscious body fell causing a loud boom as he landed on the ground.

"Could at least drop that big guy without many people here, dumbass!" Zoro said sarcastically.

"Shut it, keep complaining and I'll send a giant on you!" Sanji yelled.

Chopper(still in his Monster Point Form)looked down towards the cook. "That was downright amazing, Sanji!"

Franky went back to his robot's cockpit. "Hey, would you mind shrinking down some, you're outstanding my robot."

Chopper placed his right hand on his head. "Oh..."

"That laser was amazing, Franky!" Usopp said jumping up and down excitedly.

Robin looked at the robot. "That robot was utterly useless."

Wendy giggled. "Come on, you have to admit it was cool."

Freed and Usagi brought Armand and Barracuna to the center, both of them Fishmen tied up in chains.

"Freed... you did great, I'm proud of you," Laxus praised.

That made the rune magic user tear up in joy. "Laxus, words cannot express my happiness!"

Evergreen giggled.

"That was some battle!" Bickslow laughed proudly. "Right babies?"

"Right! Right!"

Gajeel did his trademark laugh. "Lily, you were awesome, I couldn't have asked for a better partner."

Lily returned his friend's smile. "Thank you."

Levy placed her hands on her hips. "I was here too you know!?"

The iron dragon slayer grinned while holding a bag. "Oh right, I forgot you're so tiny that I thought you hid in my bag again."

Levy didn't take too kindly to that joke. "Stupid jerk...stupid jerk..." She comically pouted repeatedly hitting him but did not affect him.

"Hold on, did Natsu and Gray's team return?" Erza asked.

"No, they're still not back," Millianna answered.

"Crap, what are those guys up to?" Chelsea thought in question.

Gildarts began to look around. "Cana, where is my little girl?"

"Overprotective father," Nami sweatdropped.

Robin giggled because she thought it was sweet that Gildarts cares for his daughter so much.

Wendy looked at the sky. "Natsu...Happy...Gray...everyone else... is safe."

The Ammon Knights saw Straw Hat breathing heavily. "Shirahoshi, I think Strawhat is at his limit, make sure you take away from the Noah before the bubble breaks."

The mermaid princess nodded. "Brother Fukaboshi, let's help Luffy."

Her oldest brother nodded in agreement. "Right."

Boom

Lisanna and Gin were sent flying from the other side of the ship.

"Lisanna, Gin!" Shirahoshi gasped in horror.

"What happened to them?" Fukaboshi wondered.

His answer came to him when he saw an unfamiliar face. "Who the hell are you lady?"

Before Aquaius could answer that, Lisanna sat up a little. "Fukaboshi...that's Aquaius, she's taken a form of a human she killed."

The merman prince was perplexed yet confused. "What do you mean?"

"It's a long story, but, I can assure you that she's one of the Demons,"

Luffy was barely holding on, though he was able to hear. "Then say no more..." He panted for a few minutes. "I'll handle her then."

"Luffy, you can't, you're in no shape to fight, let us handle this," Lisanna said slowly getting back on her feet.

Gin did so. "I won't let you hurt my friends including Shirahoshi."

Aquaius(Esdeath)chuckled amusingly. "Amusing, but, humans can be so stubborn, it almost makes me laugh, they enjoy running their mouths and getting the support they need like they're superior to everyone."

Hearing that made Luffy glare at the Demon siren. "I'm done hearing that crap." The Demon looked at the Strawhat who was looking winded. "I'm not some weak pirate, I'm Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm going to be King of the Pirates!"

The air became intense and blew hard as it responded to Luffy's declaration.

"That wind was strong," Lisanna thought a little taken back, then another thought came to her. "No...it's like his voice was able to reach the heavens or something."

The Strawhat glanced at Lisanna and Gin. "You two, stay back, I'll handle her."

Lisanna was worried about the rubber boy, but, she could see that he's made up his mind. "Very well, we'll be on standby."

Gin clenched his hands for a moment. "Alright..." He and Lisanna then left the Noah and went back to Shirahoshi.

"Second Gear!" Luffy's body glowed pink and steam was slowly airing out. "Gum-Gum-" He pulled back his left arm. "Jet Pistol!"

He released his arm delivering a strong and fast punch right into Aquaius' chest which sent her flying to the other side of the deck.

Though the Demon Mermaid got up as quickly as she fell. "Aqua Mermaid Heart!" She gathered some water similar to what Hordy did, only that the water took the shape of evil mermaids with shark-like teeth and glowing red eyes.

"Die!" Water shape-like Mermaids were sent directly at Luffy who dodged every move, but, he slowed down due to his injuries. "Crap...this wound isn't helping..."

"Gum-Gum Jet Gatling!" He threw a barrage of punches at the Demon Mermaid.

"Weissschanbel!" Esdeath(Aquaius)held her left hand in front of her. Countless sharp icicles formed behind and she sent them all at once at Luffy.

"Wow, she can ice attacks!?" Luffy questioned as he dodged then using his Second Gear. "Man feels like I'm fighting Aokiji again."

Aquaius slammed her left hand on the deck. "Arktisrausch!" A large pathway of rushing ice instantly froze over the deck and was quickly heading toward Luffy.

The rubber man dodged it, and one of his feet accidentally slipped on the ice. "Whoa!" He fell a bit hard but he was able to get up. "Man feels like that ice back when we fought against the Piacho Family."

"Second Gear Armament Harden!" Luffy stretched out his right arm which was surrounded by flames. "Gum-Gum Red Hawk!"

"Shave!" Aquaius vanished in a blink of an eye.

"Crap, she used the Shave technique..." Luffy cursed.

Aquaius then placed her left hand in forward. "Hagelsprung!" She snapped her fingers and multiple giant hailstones appeared above the straw hat captain.

"I'm not done, Heilige Holle!" She released countless small stones at a fast speed right at Luffy.

"She can summon that much ice!?" Fukaboshi questioned in surprise. "I wonder how strong this Esdeath person was when she was alive."

"Believe us," The merman turned to see Lisanna floating next to him. "Esdeath was strong, the only ones that were able to fight against her were Gray and Aquaius, though, Luffy seems to be doing well."

"Looks like you're reaching your limit," Aquaius mocked as she gathered more water shapes like mermaids and send them directly to the Strawhat again.

"Shut up!" Luffy barked completely annoyed. "Third Gear, Armament Harden Gum-Gum Elephant Gatling!"

He unleashed a barrage of giant steel punches which went through the water mermaids and destroyed them. "I ain't done! Mermaid Spiral Aqua Jet!" She began to lung herself and began to spiral around while her body was surrounded by water.

She slammed into Strawhat's body and her attack started to deactivate his Devil Fruit powers she opened her mouth and bit the side of his waist.

"Aaah!" Luffy screamed in pain.

"Luffy no!" Lisanna exclaimed in shock.

"Oh no!" Fukaboshi added.

Luffy wasn't done yet. "Gum-Gum-" He lifts his right foot which stretched up high. "Third Gear: Giant Axe!"

"I ain't going down like this!" Aquaius declared with a nasty deadly glare. "Aqua: Ultra Marine!" She gathered more water and created a powerful water torrent.

The water torrent and the giant foot collided with each other. "I will not lose to a filthy human brat like you!"

"I had enough of you Demons!" Luffy roared as his foot started to push down with great force.

"AAAAAAHHHH!" Aquaius shrieked in horror.

The giant foot slammed right onto Aquaius with sheer power thus creating a hole and sending her flying through the center of the Noah thus crashing down it.

She began to remember a certain memory.

Aquaius remembered when she was awoken. "How did I-" A thought projection was shown in front of her which took the shape of Mard Geer. "Aquaius, if you're watching this, then that means Tartaros has been defeated all of the Nine Demon Gates are lost in the wind."

Hearing that widened her eyes as the Underworld King continued. "Therefore, all our tech and supplies are yours now, I will leave you in charge to find any surviving Demons that are still breathing, and lastly..." He smirked. "The second curse power that you have is Absorption, which belonged to Froulmath and one more thing, I think I know who Master E.N.D is..."

Her thoughts were interrupted by her flying through the sea and crashing into large rocks which create foam and amount of bubbles. "I'm sorry...Mard Geer..." Her body vanished releasing some lights in the air.

Lisanna laughed. "He did it!"

Gin grinned. "Yeah, that Strawhat is something!"

The Ammo Knights were amazed but relieved at the same time.

"Everyone, Luffy has defeated the Demon Aquaius!"

Makarov heard this news and decided to activate his private telepathy. "Does this mean..."

Below on the Concorde Plaza

"I'll be damned," Leone laughed. "That boy is full of surprises."

Akame smiled a bit. "Yes, he would probably be able to overcome the Jaegers too."

Chelsea had to admit that could've been true. "Yes, he would probably be able to go against Wave and Kurome."

Laxus chuckled. "That kid is strong, he's quite the formidable person."

Gildarts laughed while patting the blonde lightning mage on the back. "That's rich coming from you!"

"Shut up!" Makarov's grandson snapped comically.

Sting was amazed. "I hope we can fight Luffy someday."

Rogue had the same thought. "Yes, I would like to challenge that guy too."

Gajeel did his trademark laugh. "That little punk will get a taste of Black Steel Gajeel!"

"Chill out you three," Levy said awkwardly.

"That's how they are," Yukino giggled.

"Luffy is super manly!" Elfman roared pumping his arms.

Natsu's group arrived at the moment, but they heard the news.

"What, he defeated that Demon all by himself!" Lucy exclaimed in surprise.

Mest was in disbelief. "I heard of this guy's strength but to be able to overcome a Demon, that's insane not to mention he's seriously injured."

"Aw man, I wanted to fight her!" Natsu pouted.

"Give it a break moron!" Gray and Happy snapped at the pinkette boy with shark teeth.

"Juvia is impressed, he's so strong," Juvia commented.

Fujika wasn't too surprised. "He is Strawhat after all and the son of Monkey D. Dragon."

Miyaka shared the former Kuja Pirate's reaction. "Yes, I heard he's a force not to be underestimated."

Aquapad grinned. "I expect no less from the younger brother of Ace."

Thorn was awe-struck. "No kidding, he was able to overpower Hordy Jones despite those injuries."

Rena was worried. "Speak of, we need to get him to a doctor."

"Hold on you guys!" Everyone looked at Angela. "The Noah!" She pointed out.

"Crap, it's falling towards Fishman Island!" Jula yelled in shock.

"Oh no, what shall we do!?" Gin questioned.

Luffy, Natsu, Gray, and Aquapad were silent, but, they knew what they had to do.

Juvia seemed to have read their minds.

Lucy had an idea. "Mest..." The former council member looked at the blonde. "I need you to do something."

"Mest, are you there?" Makarov's voice was heard in the former magic council member's head.

"Master Makarov, are you and the others okay?" He asked.

"We're fine, but, what about Natsu and the others?" The former guild master asked.

Mest smiled for a moment before he replied. "They're safe and sound, and so are the girls too."

Makarov chuckled. "Good to know..." He deactivated his private telepathy and turned to the others. "Everyone..." Each of Fairy Tail, the Minks, the three Night Raid assassins, Sting's group, and two Mermaid Heel wizards looked at the old man.

"Natsu's team has succeeded and rescued the girls!" He reported with a smile.

Gildarts was practically brought to tears of joy. "Cana, my little girl, I'm so happy!"

"Well, I'll be damned," Leone laughed.

Wendy giggled with tears of joy. "Natsu...Happy..."

Carla smiled with relief. "Happy, everyone, glad to know that you're all safe."

Usagi smiled. "Friends...glad to know all of you are safe."

Temukai cried comically. "Snort...snort...friends alright, so happy!"

"Gee, you have to bawl your eyes out now," Tigress sweatdropped but she was happy to know her friends are safe.

Pango smiled brightly. "Glad to hear the others are okay!"

Bickslow laughed. "Babies, our friends are safe!"

"Friends are safe! Friends are safe!" The dolls chanted.

Evergreen giggled.

Mirajane was happy and relieved. "Natsu, Gray, everyone, glad that you won your fight."

The Minister of the Right made contact with some of the palace knights. "How is the evacuation proceeding?"

"Some of the citizens made it to the sea, but others are still on the run," The palace knight responded.

The remaining islander was completely frightened at the Noah's arrival.

"Damn it, it's getting closer!"

"Yeah, come on, Strawhat, Fairy Tail, do something!"

Sting gritted his teeth. "Damn, what can we do?"

"Man, this is bad," Rogue added.

"Hey guys, where is Yukino?" Lector asked.

Kagura heard this and looked around. "Huh...she's gone, where'd she go?"

The Minister of the Right saw the situation as helpless. "It's over...we're...doomed..."

"Wait, something is going happening to the Noah!" An Ammo Knight spoke with a hint of confusion and shock.

Natsu was cloaked in a bubble while on top of Aquapad's back. "Let's do this!"

He jumped off the Marlin Fishman and slammed against the Noah's left side. "Fire Dragon's Iron Feet Boosters!" A stream of fire was soaring out of his feet like a rocker booster.

"Ice Make: Jet Booster!" Gray placed each ice-like jet booster on the left side. "Now go!" Each of the boosters was letting out icy cold air which was seemingly moving the Noah away.

Aquapad and his friends were pushing against the Noah's side as well. "Push with all your might!"

"No need to tell us that!"

"C'mon you guys push!"

"Push hard!"

"It is our time!" Yukino and Lucy took out their Golden Keys and then tossed them in the air. "Oh Celestial Spirits of the Twelve Golden Paths...lend us the power to push the Noah away!"

The two held each other's hands. "OPEN TWELVE FATES OF THE ZODIAC!

Surrounding lights shined around them each of the Celestial Spirits from the Golden Keys was summoned. "Now, everyone with your strength and ours, help us save Fishman Island!"

Each of the Celestial Spirits soar through the air and began to push the Noah aside.

Luffy was amazed as he stopped his attack. "Wow, where did those guys come from!?" He shook his head and took out a bubble coral. "In that case, I'll help you out!"

"Air Station, what is happening?" The Minister of the Right asked.

"Strawhat and those Fairy Tail wizards are trying to push the Noah away!"

"What!?" Laxus exclaimed in awe.

"That's crazy!" Freed, Evergreen and Bickslow comically added.

"I hate to say it, but, that's crazy even for Luffy!" Usopp commented.

"What else do you see?" The Merman Eel asked again.

"The two Celestial sisters summoned out some strange people and are also pushing the Noah away!"

"Wait, did Yukino and Lucy summon out their Celestial Spirits?" Wendy asked.

"It could be the same thing they did when they closed the door to the Elplise Gate," Carla thought.

"Do you think they can push the Noah away?" Chelsea asked.

"Not sure, but, we must be prepared for the worst," Zoro answered.

"We can only keep up the faith," Robin added.

"Right!"

"Everyone keeps on pushing!" Makarov cheered.

"You brats...keep it up!" Gildarts added.

Temukai pumped up his arms. "Snort...snort...pull through my friends!"

Pango's lips began to curl up as tears formed in his eyes. "Yeah, you guys can do it!"

"Natsu, everyone, save us!" Wendy cried.

Usagi looked up. "Guys we're with you all the way."

Tigress's lips began to twitch. "Please you guys keep pushing."

In the town, two Fishmen were talking with each other. "C'mon we have to escape!"

"I know, but, I can't the Strawhats, Fairy Tail, and their friends are fighting to save us...I believe that one pirate did the same thing,"

F

During the time after Gold D Roger's execution.

Greedy pirates were pouring through Fishman Island and capturing any mermaid or Fishmen they came across. "This is all the haul we got!" A pirate captain laughed greedily.

The two Fishmen as children were hiding behind some barrels.

"Come back here!" A pirate grunt attempted to snatch a fleeing mermaid until a large fist came out of nowhere and knocked him out.

The pirate captain pointed his gun at his crewmate's attacker. "What the hell, are you in the mood to die or something?" He quickly fell backward at who he was seeing. "No way, what the heck is he doing here and why is he siding with the Fishmen!?"

There stood Whitebeard one of the Four Emperors who grinned. "Neptune helped me out of jam back when we were young and we pledged friendship with a glass of sake." He lifts his spear unleashing his reign.

The pirates were frightened. "Please don't kill me, we promise not to kidnap mermaids or Fishmen again!"

"You want to mess with my friend's country then you face the consequences...YOU SNOT NOSE BRATS!" Whitebeard roared scaring the other pirates even more.

He then put his flag on the island. "LISTEN UP THIS ISLAND IS UNDER MY PROTECTION!"

The two Fishmen were star-struck with amazement.

B

"You're talking about Whitebeard, that guy was a living legend, you trust the Strawhats and Fairy Tail that much!?"

"Don't get me wrong, humans are the last people I would trust, but, Strawhat, Fairy Tail along with their friends are willing to save us,"

Sharley saw her vision again only it was clearer, the Noah was going to destroy the island, and Luffy along with Natsu and his friends were willing to do anything to save them from it.

"Push everybody!" Lucy cheered.

"You guys can do it!" Yukino cheered next.

"You brats should help..."A female deep voice said.

Behind them was Aquaius.

Lucy was about to respond until her former spirit put her hand out. "I'll stop you there, but, for now, I'll give you this form that'll help you two."

Bubbles began to foam around Yukino and Lucy's legs.

"What is going on?"

"What is happening to our legs?"

Before they knew their legs were transformed into mermaid fin.

"They're mermaids!" Lisanna exclaimed with a gaping mouth.

"Lucy, Yukino, Lisanna, and Gin, help your friends now!" Aquarius demanded.

"Right!" She swam towards the Noah's side and began to push as hard as they can.

Aquarius smiled slightly. "Lucy, we'll meet again, I'll be sure to explain more of how I was able to visit you."

Almost as if Lucy was able to hear her friend. "Aquarius...thank you...see ya again soon."

"Push everybody!" Natsu groaned.

"You said that already!" Gray yelled as he created more ice jet boosters.

"Damn, the Noah is moving but, even so, it's still too close to the island!"

"Gray my love, don't worry, just keep pushing on!" Juvia declared.

"She's right, keep at it, you guys!" Miyaka agreed.

"You guys can do it!" Hiramera cheered loudly.

"Tough it out Natsu!" Fujika added.

"You guys don't let us down!" Cana pleaded.

Shirahoshi was getting worried as she can see that pushing the massive ship was taking a toll on her friends.

Then a ringing-like sound was heard which Luffy and the others briefly heard. Despite that, they continued to push the Noah away.

Shirahoshi swam close to her friends. "Wait, you guys, stop!"

"Hey, what is the deal!?" Luffy yelled.

"Yeah, what'd you stop us?" Natsu questioned in a snappy tone.

"You guys can stop the Noah has-" Shirahoshi began to say until...

"Guys, where'd they come from?!" Mest pointed out upward.

Nine different-looking Sea Kings appeared out of nowhere, and only six of them held the Noah by its six chains.

The others stopped and hung on to some parts of the side of the giant vessel.

"Holy crap, the Sea Kings!" Natsu exclaimed.

"Why are they here?!" Happy questioned in total shock.

"Eek, we're about to be eaten!" Lucy cried comically.

"Relax humans..." One of them spoke. "We're not here to bring you harm."

"We arrived here, though, if we arrived a little later, the Noah would've destroyed," Another spoke.

"Good thing, Shirahoshi called out to us then," A third spoke.

Shirahoshi was puzzled. "I didn't do anything I was sad..."

One of the Sea Kings begged to differ. "Not quite, your will with the humans and their friends was strong enough to call us...a pray that you wish,"

"You're stronger than you think, that's why your desire was enough to summon us," Another added.

Another decided to say another thing. "If you wish for us to help again, then don't hesitate to call us."

Back on the Island.

Everyone, every citizen hoped for some good news.

An Ammo Knight began to speak. "Everyone...I'm not sure of what just happened...not sure how to describe it either, but, it's clear that...the Noah has been stopped...though, it's damaged, it's not destroyed...FISHMAN ISLAND HAS BEEN SAVED!"

"They did it!" A Fishman citizen roared happily.

"Strawhat, Fairy Tail stopped the Noah!"

The Strawhat pirates, Fairy Tail, and their new friends were happy to hear the good news.

"Alright!" Usopp, Wendy, Chopper, and Pango cheered.

"Hurray!" Nami, Gildarts, and Levy jumped happily.

Akame smiled. "Well done."

Leone laughed proudly. "Those guys did!"

Chelsea sighed in relief. "You guys have us worried."

"Well done, my children," Makarov thought.

Gildarts chuckled proudly.

"Natsu...Gray..." Sting choked with tears in his eyes.

"Aw, no need to bawl out," Lector said despite he was holding back his tears.

"They did," Rogue said with a smile.

"They sure did," Frosch added with tears in his eyes.

Tigress smiled. "Good job my friends."

Gajeel did his trademark laugh. "Those punks did it."

Lily smiled proudly. "They are our friends after all."

Back at the Noah.

Luffy began to fall. "G-glad...to know...our friends...are safe now."

Cana tossed a card which sent Luffy inside and she reverted it to normal then she got on her knees and let him rest on her lap. "This guy is something." She smiled devilishly.

"Uhh...your father going to freak out if he sees you like this," Lucy whispered.

Cana ignored the blonde and started to stroke the Strawhat captain's head.

"Is that necessary?" Yukino asked awkwardly

"Never mind that, let's get these guys to Chopper and Wendy!" Gray suggested as he held Natsu by his arm. "He's got a nasty bit wound."

"Oh right, one of those perverted Fishmen bit him!" Happy spoke remembering that the Clownfish Merman bit his friend.

Aquapad and Lisanna along with the others joined their friends on Hoe the whale.

"Shirahoshi, let's go!" Happy called out.

"Right!" The mermaid princess followed.

"Wait, we have more thing to say," A Sea King spoke which stopped the Mermaid princess. "You probably didn't know, but, we have long awaited your birth."

"Really?" Shirahoshi asked in surprise.

"Yes, the vessel is made for us to pull," A second Sea King answered.

"This has been passed on for a long." A third spoke.

"Is that why the Noah is this big?" Shirahoshi asked closer to the giant fish-like creatures.

"Yes every few hundred years, our queen is born in mermaid, I wonder why indeed..." A fourth answered.

"Though, it's clear that you have been that king since the day you were born." A fifth spoke.

Fukaboshi, Manboshi, and Ryuboshi noticed something odd with their sister.

"Shirahoshi..."

"Could it be..."

"Our sister is speaking with the Sea Kings..."

An Ammo Knight began to talk. "Minister of the Right, I'm not sure how to say this, but, the Sea Kings came out of nowhere and stopped the Noah, not sure why, but, the Noah was perhaps important to them as well."

The merman Eel turned to the king. "Your majesty..."

Neptune heard this and realized what had happened. "So, it has been awakened...the power that can destroy the entire world."

"The Noah's coating is being absorbed into the island," A Sea King pointed out.

"Shirahoshi go on and join your friends, they'll need you," A second Sea King suggested.

The mermaid princess nodded her head and swam away.

Fukaboshi then remembered something. "Brothers, we must capture Hordy Jones and his officers at once!"

"Right!" Ryuboshi and Manboshi nodded in agreement.

Another thought came to Fukaboshi and a faint smile fomred on his face. "Everyone, it's finally over...we can start from the beginning."

Fishman Island was saved, Luffy's injuries are pretty bad and so is Natsu's, what will happen to them, find out in the next chapter.

Luffy: in the next chapter: Path to the Sun and the Big Party

End of chapter.
