Chapter 66: So Long Fishman Island, Hello Earthland

The Fishman Island- Coral Hill

Mermaid Cafe

Camie was having a chat with Sharley.

"Perhaps, it's time you say goodbye to your friends."

"Alright,!" Camie replied excitedly.

The other mermaids heard this and were eager to say goodbye too.

"Let's see our friends off!"

"Yeah, good idea!"

"Sorry girls, but, since pirates were going to be coming here again, I'll need someone to look after things and keep the cafe in top shape," Sharley said to the other mermaids.

The other mermaids didn't have qualms with that. "You got madame Sharley!" Ishilly giggled.

Camie turned around and began to make her way outside until she saw her boss's crystal ball, which was cut in half. "Sharley, your crystal ball."

"Oh that, I decided to stop fortune telling for now on," Sharley said a little tense. "After all, seeing Luffy and his friends causing havoc on the island is something...I wouldn't want to see."

Camie was a little concerned about her bosses' predictions. "She predicted that Luffy-chan...would destroy Fishman Island...she still must be concerned."

"Also, before, I did destroy it, I had another vision," Sharley abruptly said. "I saw Natsu and Gray fighting each other."

Camie gasped in horror. "Why would they-"

"I'm not sure..." A hint of sadness and fear was shown in Sharley's eyes. "Whatever the reason is, I pray for those boys to work out whatever drove them to fight."

Camie decided to put the tension at ease. "Listen, Natsu and Gray always fight like Zoro and Sanji, but, Lucy-chan told me that's because the more close friends are, the more they fight."

Sharley chuckled at those words. "I see."

"Also, Luffy, he and his friend are good people, I don't think-"

"Camie..." Sharley interrupted which made the mermaid stop talking as a small smile formed on the former fortune-telling mermaid's face. "I hope you can forgive me, I never should've suspected your friends the Strawhats nor Fairy Tail, on top of that, those Exceeds show great loyal creatures they are, they have a lot of faith in their friends."

Camie giggled and was happy to see her boss smiling.

At the shore.

Some citizens were bringing Franky some supplies.

Natsu, Happy, Wendy, Carla, and Luffy were in the hands of Shirahoshi. "Please, Wendy, Carla, Luffy, Happy, and Natsu don't leave, can't you guys stay with us a little longer?"

"Sorry, child, we have to leave, our homeland is about to be a war, and our friends and allies are counting on us to help," Carla spoke calmly.

Luffy rubbed his head. "Geez, you're still crying weepy-Hoshi, you haven't stopped since we met."

"Yeah, c'mon, let's stop the waterworks," Natsu commented.

"We'll miss you, but, perhaps we'll meet again someday," Wendy said hopefully.

"Okay, I understand, I'll stop crying like a baby," Shirahoshi sobbed.

Sanji was about to swoon until Taurus and Loki appeared out of nowhere.

"Moo!"

"Hi, there mermaid princess Shirahoshi,"

"How did you guys get here?!" Lucy questioned in surprise.

Loki fixed his glasses and looked at the princess with a flirtatious smile. "Princess Shirahoshi, your beauty shines as the pink pearl!"

"Moo...her cries are moo-ving my heart...such beauty and those knockers!" Taurus swooned pervertedly.

"Oh brother," Gajeel groaned.

"Hey, don't flirt with the princess while I'm around perverts!" Sanji barked.

Loki and Taurus glared at the curly brow cook.

"Looks like the pervy cook has bone to pick with us,"

"Moo! I'll be sure to give him a rowdy of pain!"

Sanji glared back. "Bring it on lion cub and pervy cow!"

Zoro laughed his head off. "Wow, perverts vs perverts, this is hilarious!"

"SHUT UP!" Loki, Sanji, and Taurus comedically yelled in unison.

"This is embarrassing," Lucy muttered while facepalming.

"Geez, can these boys grow up?" Carla questioned annoyingly.

"Some people don't change so easily," Makarov chuckled.

Cana was hugging the sake and red wine they got in barrels. "So much sake and red wine we got!"

Leone was hugging a huge barrel. "Yes, I intend to have a lot of these, perhaps you and I can have a drinking contest."

"You're on girl!"

Gildarts looked at the wanted poster of Shanks with interest. "Hmm...Shanks...I hope we can meet someday."

Erza was drooling at the packed strawberry cakes. "Strawberry cake...I can't wait..."

Akame could hardly wait too. "I love sweets, but, meat would be nice."

"Don't worry, we'll make sure to get some food on our way back to the guild," Erza assured.

Chelsea was happy to be going back to Earthland, however, she was going to miss Strawhat and his friends.

"Alright, we got everything packed!" Elfman stated.

"Yep, we got supplies and clothes," Mirajane added.

"Aquapad, where are you?" Lisanna wondered.

The Minister of the Right was having a secret chat with the king. "Your majesty, should we inform the Strawhat of the Tamata Box, it's only a matter of time before she decides to open it."

The king knew that was a possibility. "True, but..." He looked at Usopp and Chopper, both were in a sullen state.

"Oh man, we'll be going to die the moment that we step into the New World!"

"Yeah, Big Mom will hunt us down, but, perhaps if we give her more treasure, she'll let us live,"

"If we tell them, they'll refuse to live on," The Minister of the Right and Neptune thought in unison.

They began to whisper to each other.

"Perhaps, the bombs are dysfunctional, I mean, they've been inside the box for ten years," Neptune theorized.

"Good possibility, besides we keep the Ryuugu Palace humid, on top of that, the box won't get opened as well," The Minister of the Right agreed.

They did a thumbs pose. "In that case, let's just hope for the best."

Robin couldn't help but partly heard a little whispering. "Should I ask what you two are whispering about?"

Nami and Lucy went back on shore to have a chat with the Minister of the Left.

"What are these?" Nami asked.

"First off, Lucy..." The Minister of the Left looked at the blonde Celestial wizard. "I know you guys aren't going to New World, but, perhaps you can take one as a savior, that said, if you and your friends were to return someday, then, having a three-needle log pose will quite helpful to you."

Lucy smiled. "Thank you."

"Okay, but, can you give more details about this new Log pose?" Nami requested.

"Yes, as you know the original Log pose you have is still moving," The Minister of the Left said.

He was right, Nami looked at her original log pose and saw the needle was still moving. "Yeah, you're right, but, I thought when we came down here, it would stabilize."

"It would, but half a day is all you need, that's not the issue, on the Grand Line, you log the magnetic force from the next island in the log pose," The Catfish merman continued. "On top of the sea currents and weather, islands will change even their magnetic force."

"What?" Nami asked in surprise.

"Wow, that's crazy," Chelsea commented.

"Sounds like the islands are crazy," Sting added.

"No kidding, makes you wonder if the islands that have the strongest magnetic force means the greater the danger is," Rogue wondered.

"Also, there are even islands whose magnetic forces you will lose completely while sailing,"

"That sounds bad," Gildarts said.

"But, then, we can't reach any islands?" Nami questioned.

"It would be a disaster to try with only one needle, however, using three will surely help you, one of them is shifting slightly like the normal log pose," The Minister of the Left pointed out.

He was right, one of the needles on the three-log pose was slightly shifting as he said.

Lucy looked at hers. "He's right." She even got the original log pose. "The normal one is moving too."

Nami had one more question. "Okay, but, if that's the case, why aren't the other two steady?"

"The three needles will each log a magnetic force coming from a different island, so, you will be able to choose your course from a set of three, relying on your gut feeling. You could say these choices are the junction of your life, an excellent navigator can tell the safest route just from the movements of those needles." The Catfish merman proceeded. "Simply put, the more unusual the movement of the needles, the more dangerous the island you will be heading for is, and also means what is happening is so extraordinary that it moves the magnetic field!"

Lucy shivered at the last detail. "So scary."

Nami couldn't agree more. "Yikes, that's creepy, I don't need to know that."

"Yeah, I'm with you on this!" Chopper whimpered.

"No joke, throw that thing away!" Usopp yelled in a whiny tone.

"Why your life will be in danger if you don't use that new log pose," The Minister of the Left said a little puzzled.

Luffy's neck stretched out as he was looking at the new log pose. "Where...where...the island in the middle of whose needle is super badly, sure looks interesting, huh!?"

"Nooooo!" Nami bawled her eyes out.

"He was listening!" Usopp wept hopelessly.

"However, we won't be going to the New World!" Luffy abruptly said.

"Huh!?" His crew and Fairy Tail exclaimed in confusion.

Even Neptune and his family along with the citizens were confused by what they just heard.

Jimbei was on his way through the crowd.

Usopp, Nami, and Chopper couldn't believe what their captain just said.

"What did you say?" Chopper asked.

Luffy pulled back his head and stood up. "Listen, everyone, I decided, my crew and I will take a detour!"

"Detour, what do you mean?" Nami asked.

Luffy chuckled slightly and looked at Fairy Tail. "Fairy Tail, I decided that my crew and I shall go with you to your world!"

"WHAAAAATTTT!?" Everyone exclaimed in total shock.

Almost everyone, Zoro, Sanji, and Jimbei didn't even look surprised.

Makarov wasn't expecting this. "Young man, you want to come to our world?"

"That's right, you guys were a big help, on top of that, Akame made me some good meat, so, I should repay her," Luffy replied.

"He's helping out because of Akame's cooking?" Lucy questioned.

"I agree," Everyone looked at Franky, who was grinning. "Fairy Tail, I owe you guys for protecting Water 7 as well as for saving my friends there, so, I owe you guys, also, I was told that your first master was looking for fairies, am I right?"

Makarov decided to answer that. "Yes, that's right."

Franky grinned. "In that case, I have a little story about a type of fairy that lives somewhere in the Grand Line."

Hearing that suddenly caught Fairy Tail's interest.

"Now that I think about it, your friend Iceberg and some of the Franky Family mentioned that to us!" Lisanna spoke.

"A real fairy sounds cool!" Sting said with a huge grin.

"Who knew fairies would live in this world," Lector added.

"Sounds amazing, wait til our friends hear about this!" Yukino giggled.

"Yeah, our friends are sure to be excited!" Rogue said.

"I think so too!" Frosch commented.

Makarov felt happy to hear that. "Mavis...fairies do exist after all."

"Anyway, once we're done helping Fairy Tail in their war against this Albert Empire, we'll return home and go to the New World!" Luffy finished.

"It's called the Alvarez Empire," Lucy, Nami, and Chelsea corrected.

"Man, he's worse at pronunciation than Natsu," Gajeel laughed.

"Stop picking on me!" Natsu pouted comically.

"They're alike," Erza sweatdropped.

Just then a splash was heard from nearby Fairy Tail's ship.

Aquapad and his friends jumped onto the deck with luggage.

Neptune wasn't too surprised though.

The citizens were wondering where Aquapad and his friends ran off to.

"Hey, Aquapad, where'd you and your friends run off to?" A Fishman citizen called.

Aquapad and his friends approached Erza and Makarov. "Erza Scarlet...Makarov Dreyar..."

The four knelt at the two masters. "We would like to join your Fairy Tail guild."

"WHAT!?" The citizens and the three princes exclaimed.

Makarov was stunned at this as well as Erza.

Luffy was a little surprised for once.

"Erza, Makarov, your friends saved me from another pirate crew that was using me to get to my home, not only that, it was because of that, I got to know the people at Water 7, all of them trust me," Aquapad said with a smile.

"He's right, we owe you a lot for saving Aquapad, we decided to join your guild, with us, we'll be able to show our courage to the islanders, which will give them more courage to get close to humans," Jula added.

Thorn smiled. "Yes, we would like to learn how to use magic too."

"Yes, magic is so amazing, we hope that we can be helpful to you and the others in Magnolia," Angela added.

"We hope to bond with the people in your home country as well," Rena said with a smile.

Makarov was silent for a moment and approached the four. "I say..." A big smile formed on the old man's face. "Welcome to Fairy Tail!"

Usagi and his friends approached the two guild masters. "Makarov, we would like to join you guys too."

"Snort...snort...snort...we owe you and your friends for saving us!" Temukai cried with tears of joy.

Pango laughed. "Yeah, I would like to join a wizard guild!"

Tigress smiled. "I think, no...I know your people will accept us, we are friends after all."

This time Erza spoke, "I see no problem with that, you guys have helped us as well, I'm sure the others back at home would love to meet you Minks."

The four Minks bowed their heads in gratitude.

Leone, Akame, and Chelsea approached the temporary guild master.

"Erza Scarlet...Makarov, we know that we're assassins, we spilled a lot of blood, more than we can count, but, we had no choice, the empire was corrupted so badly, there was no way of changing not as long as the Prime Minister was still around. "Akame spoke.

"She's right, but, we would like to join Fairy Tail, we were once part of Lamia Scale, but, we want to join Fairy Tail now," Leone added.

"Yes, we know of the danger that'll come, but, we hope that we can be helpful to your guild," Chelsea said despite feeling doubtful.

Makarov recalled what he saw through the memories of his Fairy Tail children and the three assassins of Night Raid, the bad stuff, but mostly the good things.

Sanji had his thoughts to say. "Old man, Akame, Leone, and Chelsea are good ladies, if you don't accept them..." His face became love-struck with pink heart eyes. "THEN THEY SHALL JOIN OUR CREW!"

"Moron..." Zoro said.

"What was that?!" Sanji asked glaring at his rival.

Makarov soon made his decision. "First off, I don't accept people taking the lives of others, however, your group was different, as you know the dark guilds had assassins as well, they too took the lives of other people for money, however, the people that you killed, I can see none of them were as different as the ones my children fought against."

Erza had her piece to say. "He's right, after seeing the evil people that did those horrible things to innocent people even children, those people were just as worse as those that align themselves with the dark guilds."

"Yes, everyone does agree, right?" Gildarts asked looking at the other Fairy Tail wizards.

"I think those three will be a good addition to our guild," Mirajane commented.

"Yeah, after all, they took Gray and Juvia in when they were lost," Lisanna added.

Cana laughed. "I see no problem."

"What about our friends the Minks and Aquapad and his friends, shall they join us too?" Makarov asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure our guild would love to meet them!" Wendy cheered.

"It would be awesome to have other creatures in our guild!" Lily agreed.

Laxus and the Thunder Legion agreed.

"If the old man says they're all okay, then, I have no problem," Laxus said with a smile.

Freed had to agree. "After spending time with them through Lamia Scale and sailing the seas, I'm convinced we can trust them."

Bickslow laughed. "Yeah, they would be perfect for our guild!"

Evergreen fixed her glasses. "No problem, I get new rivals for the Fairy Tail's beauty contest."

"Anyway, Strawhat Luffy," Makarov said looking at the Strawhat pirate captain. "I admit you're strong, though, are you sure that you want to help us in our fight against the Alvarez Empire, each of them is going on to be strong, each of them is on a different level!"

"Ahhhhhhhh!" Usopp and Chopper shrieked comically.

"This Alvarez Empire sounds creepy," Nami whimpered.

Luffy didn't even flinch and a huge grin appeared on his face. "You bet old man, we'll kick the Albert Empire's ass!"

"It's Alvarez idiot!" Usopp, Chopper, and Nami corrected comically.

Zoro didn't seem to mind his captain's idea. "As long as there's action, I'm all game."

Sanji smirked. "Yeah, besides, protecting every beautiful lady in Fiore and the princess there is also what a man should do, and I'll happy to make any meals for them."

Brook was alright with this too. "Honestly, I'm curious to see how strong these Alvarez Empire guys are, I wonder if they have other ladies there that'll be willing to show me their panties."

"Cut it out perv!" Nami barked kicking the skeleton's head.

Franky smirked. "As I said, I'll repay you guys for saving Water 7, on top of that, I want to see what machines you guys have, and I'll be glad to share the information about the type of fairy with your first guild master."

Chopper and Usopp recollected themselves, though tears continued to fall from their eyes.

"Oh well, Luffy's our captain, once he gets an idea, there's no stopping him, we'll help out any way we can even if we die."

"I might not have healing magic, but, I can still treat your injuries."

Nami sighed. "Oh well, I suppose I can help with the maps that you guys have."

"Hold on!" Jimbei was coming out from the crowd. "I decided to come with you guys!"

Fairy Tail was surprised at this.

"Whoa, are you sure bro?" Franky asked.

"Yeah, didn't you say you had to complete some duties here or something?" Sting asked.

"Also, what about that Caribou creep?" Lucy asked.

"Don't worry," Fujika and Miyaka appeared out of nowhere. "That guy has been captured, we even got him chained in the iron chain that has Sea Prism stone, so, he won't be able to use his Devil Fruit powers to escape." they looked at Makarov, then they knelt before him.

We decided to join Fairy Tail as well, so, we hope during the war, we can learn some magic quickly and assist in any way we can."

Makarov nodded in response. "Okay." He looked at the former warlord. "Jimbei, you can proceed to what you were saying."

"Yes, I'm still willing to fulfill my tasks here, however, I'm doing it to repay Fairy Tail for saving my island and saving Aquapad," Jimbei replied with a determination on his face. "So, Fairy Tail, I'll be glad to assist in this war, once, that's done, I'll return home to my island, and as I mentioned before, once my duties on Fishman Island are done, I'll seek out Luffy and his crew to become a member!"

"Alright, we have a former warlord on our side!" Natsu cheered.

"Aye!" Happy added.

Sting and Rogue were excited. "Perhaps you should stop our guild for a visit once the war is over!"

Yukino giggled.

"With a warlord on our side, this war shouldn't be too hard!" Bickslow laughed.

"It's settled then, old man Makarov!" Luffy began to say as he took a deep breath. "LET'S GO!"

Jimbei then heard a Fish boy asking his father of wanting to get a Strawhat as Luffy has, but, his father was against the idea, though, he would try despite what humans might do.

Jimbei offered to order one of the Fishboy, much to the boy's delight and his father's joy.

Jimbei laughed for a moment in happiness and went to get on the Strawhat's ship.

"EARTHLAND HERE WE COME!" Luffy stated excitedly like a child.

Makarov took out the Dimensional lacrima and transferred his magic to the magical martial.

A strong intense wind was starting to brew up and waves on the surface of the water began to splash around roughly.

Then a strange light appeared from the water and spread out to take the shape of a door.

"Whoa, where did that come from!?" A mermaid citizen questioned in shock.

"That's how Fairy Tail got here," Neptune said quite shocked.

"No kidding," Fukaboshi said.

"Wow, such a sight!" Ryuboshi commented.

"Whoa, this is so rocking!" Manboshi said with a wide smile.

Makarov smiled. "It's time everyone, the war against Alvarez Empire is going to be our toughest fight ever, also, our battle with Acnologia will be even tougher, but, no matter what enemy Fairy Tail comes to face-to-face with, we'll never back down!"

Everyone's morality rose in an instant.

Kagura smiled. "We shall alert the rest of Mermaid Heel about this."

Millianna agreed. "Meow, anything for us friends' safety."

Sting and Rogue nodded at each other.

"Looks like Sabertooth will get a lot of action!"

"Yeah, let's show the power of the Twin Dragon Slayers!"

"Alright!" Lector and Frosch cheered.

Both ships began to get further toward the portal.

"See ya guys!" Camie cried while waving her hand.

"Jimbei, Aquapad, Jula, Rena, Thorn, Angela, good luck to you all!" Hachi called with tears in his eyes.

"We'll miss you Fairy Tail, Strawhat pirates!" Pappagu cried happily.

Medaka mermaid Quintuplets smiled and took a deep breath. "Ready...SKELETON!"

Brook was overjoyed to hear that. "You did remember me!"

All of Camie's friends were there.

"Sanji!"

"We'll miss you!"

"Loki the Lion, be careful!"

Loki smiled gently. "You can bet your fins, my ladies." He vanished.

"Taurus, take care of Lucy!"

Taurus grinned pervertedly. "My lady will be safe in my hands!"

"Go home!" Lucy commanded as the cowman vanished.

"See you guys, I'll be sure to take care of Shirahoshi too!" Gin assured.

Shirahoshi smiled at her childhood friend, she then looked at two pirate crews to get closer to the portal. Seeing this as her only chance, she jumped into the water and swam in their direction.

"Shirahoshi!" The Minister of the Left panicked.

"Relax, I have a feeling she wants to say something to her friends," Fukaboshi assured.

Shirahoshi swam under both of the ships and submerged in front of them.

"Luffy...Natsu...Wendy..." Shirahoshi sobbed.

"Shirahoshi my love!" Sanji swooned.

"I just wanted to tell you guys..." She continued to sniffle a bit. "Next time...we meet I won't cry as much as I do now."

She sniffled once more. "I have two requests, first off, Luffy..." She looked at the Strawhat boy. "If we meet again, we can take another stroll."

Luffy smiled at the idea. "Oh, you want to go to your mother's grave."

Shirahoshi shook her head smiling. "No, I want to see a real forest, one that's on the surface, so, can you swear to me." She put out her pinky finger.

"Sure, it's a promise..." Luffy stretched out his pinky finger and wrapped it around her finger much to Shirahoshi's delight.

Nami, Brook, Sanji, Robin, Chopper, and swear to help their captain fulfill his promise. "Oh...thank you."

Shirahoshi looked in Fairy Tail's direction. "Natsu...Happy...Wendy...Carla, I can't thank you enough for helping me and saving my family."

"No need to be so formal," Natsu stammered awkwardly.

"Aw, the pyro is shy!" Gajeel joked.

"Stop picking on me iron head!"

"You want to fight!?"

Bonk

Erza delivered two punches on the two dragon slayers' heads. "Enough you morons!"

"Yes...ma'am..." The two whimpered in pain.

"Ahem..." Erza cleared her throat and smiled at the mermaid princess. "I take it you want to visit our world."

Shirahoshi nodded as tears continued to fall from her eyes. "Yes...seeing a world of magic and forest in your world sounds like a dream come true."

"Then, let's a pinky swear too!" Wendy put her finger out. "We'll show you our guild and the rest of Magnolia too!"

Shirahoshi put her pinky finger out once more.

"Count us in too!" Natsu smirked.

"Aye!" Happy put his paw on the mermaid's pinky finger.

"I'd be happy to show you the rest of own Celestial Spirits," Lucy declared. "The princess of Fiore Hisui E. Fiore and her father the king would love to meet you and your family."

Cana smiled. "I'm all for it too."

Leone grinned. "Count me in, I'll also give you a good massage Shirahoshi."

"Thanks, Leone..." Shirahoshi said with a sweet smile.

"Call me "big sis" too." The blonde assassin replied.

Akame smiled a bit. "I'm not big on making promises, but, in this case, I'll join in, and I'll make a good meal for you."

Sting and Rogue had an idea.

"Shirahoshi, if you want, we can show our guild too, I'm the Guild master of Sabertooth, so, stop by anytime, bring your family, Hachi, Camie, and Gin are allowed to come too."

"It would be an honor to show you our guild," Yukino bowed. "I'll introduce you to my Celestial Spirits too."

"We'll show you a good time!" Lector excitedly yelled.

Rogue smiled. "Visiting our guild would be exciting."

"I think so too," Frosch added with a smile.

"Hold on, will the portal require the Dimensional lacrima?" Chelsea asked.

"She's right, but, we'll think of something," Natsu said like what she said wasn't a problem.

"Aquapad, Jula, Thorn, Rena, Angela, please take care of yourselves, perhaps you can join me through a forest too," Shirahoshi said as she looked at Jimbe next. "Jimbei, return home safe."

"Don't worry yourself, I will," Jimbei returned the mermaid princess' smile.

Aquapad and his friends smiled brightly. "You bet we will!" They all declared in unison.

"Usagi, Temukai, Tigress, and Pango, I wish you good luck at the Fairy Tail guild," Shirahoshi wiped her eyes.

Usagi bowed in respect. "We appreciate your concern princess Shirahoshi."

"Snort...snort...don't worry about us," Temukai said with a huge grin.

Tigress smiled. "You take of yourself too princess."

"Just remember to smile and laugh," Pango said pressing his cheeks and making a silly face.

Shirahoshi laughed. "That's funny!"

Kagura smiled. "Princess Shirahoshi, you're welcome to visit Mermaid Heel, our girls would love to meet you, but, our guild allows on women, but, I could make acceptance for once, but, you can still bring your family and friends!"

Millianna giggled. "Meow, yeah, you come and visit when you and your family are ready!"

The pirate crews began to sail toward the portal.

"Goodbye!" Shirahoshi waved.

Then the portal began to close and disappear as the surface of the water began to splash and move around.

Neptune turned around almost like he was going to cry, but he kept his composure. "Never forget what they did for us!"

"We won't father!" His sons replied in unison.

"Hey, Shirahoshi!" Gin arrived and jump on her shoulder. "I got something for you."

Shirahoshi took the present into her hand and opened it, inside was a big shiny pink pearl. "Wow, a pink pearl."

"I found it while back, I figured that you should have it, after all, your mother used to tell me about these kinds of pearls, however due to her hard work, she wasn't able to have the time to search for one, so, I found one in her place." Gin explained with a tender smile. "So, I want you to have it, consider it a gift and my respect for your late mother."

Shirahoshi held the big pearl close to her chest as tears fell from her eyes. "Gin...thank you.." She smiled passionately at the Wolf Mink Whaleshark Fishman.

"Your welcome." He replied as a hint of blush was seen on his face.

Earthland

An hour away of the Port of Hargeon Town

The portal opened and both of the pirate crews found themselves in the ocean.

"Are we home?" Natsu asked.

"Yes, I can feel magic in the air," Lucy answered as tears filled her eyes.

"We're home!" Wendy cried.

"Alright!" Bickslow, Elfman, Gildarts, and Levy cheered with tears in their eyes too.

"It gets better you guys!" Erza had a telescope and was looking ahead. "There's the Port and if my eyes are mistaken, I believe we're only an hour away from the Port in Hargeon Town!"

Luffy and his crew heard this. "You guys, you're all ready for another fight!"

"You bet, I'm ready for some action!" Zoro said taking hold of his swords.

"Laboon, it won't be long until we return and journey through the New World!" Brook stated.

"I'll treat all your injuries!" Chopper declared.

"The great adventurer Usopp is at your service!" Usopp stated despite how scared he was feeling.

Robin giggled.

"With my navigation skills and my Climate Tempo, we'll be able to fight against enemies!" Nami said with a sly grin.

"I will make sure not one of you guys goes hungry!" Sanji said with a smirk.

"The Sunny can handle whatever the Alvarez Empire jerks dish out!" Franky proclaimed.

Jimbei was silent for a moment. "Fish Tiger...Otohime...your dreams are sure to come true."

Luffy took in another deep breath. "LET'S GOOOOOOOO!"

That's it, the last chapter is done, the Alvarez Empire Arc will come, not sure when, but, I guarantee it will, as for the future fights, you all just have to wait and see.

End of chapter.
