Chapter 19: Strong Fist Pirates Part 1

At Shakky's Rip-off Bar.

Juvia was reading the newspaper inside were pictures of Wendy, Lucy, Yukino, and Carla. "It seems Lucy and others are doing fine."

Cana was drinking some sake. "Gulp...gulp..." She wiped her lips. "No kidding those guys must've gotten the Governments attention." She then grinned. "Then again that's what we Fairy Tail wizards do." The magic card user noticed some old newspapers laying besides the water wizard. "Juvia are those old newspapers,"

The water wizard got all teary eyed. "Yes all of them have my darling Gray taking on other pirates!" She opened a newspaper revealing some information about her crush's whereabouts. "So Gray is working for the Navy. Hmm quite interesting but I wonder how long does he intend to work there."

Juvia closed the newspaper and a serious look appeared on her face. "Juvia knows that Gray will seek us out and find us so we can return home!"

Akame then came out of the kitchen. "Lunch is ready." She came out with fried chicken, tofu, salad, some cups of water and sake. "Funny Akame, I didn't know you made salads."

"Shakky insist that I should make some healthy or no meats for dinner for a few days." Akame said with deadpan look.

Juvia shrugged. "Well we have to eat healthy even Juvia knows that."

"Where is Leone?" Akame noticing her best friend wasn't around.

Shakky then appeared from the kitchen. "The blonde girl is out just taking a tour around the island." Akame was little concerned for her best friend. "I hope she doesn't get into trouble or rather do any gambling." She recalled the time Tatsumi went with the blonde chick to her hometown and get chased by some people that she owed money to.

Unfortunately Akame was right.

Leone was at a old gambling house at amusement part area. "Damn this is just my luck." She just did some gambling and lost half of her money's earn. "Crap at this rate I won't have much to spend." She saw some pirates arriving in the gambling house.

One of them was tall with massive muscles and biceps tall as a gorilla that showed the workout which got some of the customers and players to shiver and turn away.

"Uh oh." A man whispered with concern.

"Its that pirate Strong Fist King Kung." Another added shaking.

"I heard of him, he's got a bounty of 25 million berries." Leone heard this and decided to eavesdrop. "I heard he's been stealing treasure and even took some from other pirates."

"Anyone that has traded to steal or fight for his treasure was either beaten so badly not even their bodies remained, some say that his fists can send them flying away so hard than a firing a cannonball."

Leone smirked. "This should be good." Getting an idea as she took a transponder snail and went to a corner.

Akame was taken the dirty dishes and taken them to the kitchen to clean them up. "So far as soon as I clean this up I can get the day off." She began to wipe them all in seconds.

A few seconds later the dishes were all cleaned up in a flash.

Shakky appeared. "I must say miss you have quite the cleaning skills." She took out her cigarette and blew smoke. "Your cooking is outstanding, if you meet Sanji I'm sure he can share some recipes and knowing him he won't say no to a girl."

Just then the transponder snail started to ring which the former assassin girl answered. "What is it Leone,"

The girl was told of her plan which Akame smiled in return. "I'm going out for awhile." Juvia and Cana looked at the assassin. "Where are you going?"

Akame stopped but didn't face the two wizards. "Just doing some pirate hunting or rather treasure hunting."

That didn't make sense but from the look of it the former assassin was going to take some treasure from pirates.

Cana then grinned. "I think we should get a piece of the action."

Juvia was little concerned. "Juvia isn't sure about this but our friends might need us."

At navy headquarters.

Sentomaru was sitting in the office. "So any word of Strawhat and his crew?"

"No sir, we've been on the looks for almost a year and there are only two months left and then its 2 years."

The large overweight sumo like marine put his hand under his chin in thought. "Hmm I can't imagine why would Strawhat would return to Marineford and then just leave." Just then transponder snail began to ring which the man answered. "This is officer Sentomaru speaking."

"This is Chief Petty Officer Lefou, I got word that the pirate King Kung has just landed on Sabaody and has been spotted in a gambling house." A marine answered from the snail.

Sentomaruo gritted his teeth. "Ugh, just what we need, is there anything else to report?"

"No sir, so how should we approach the strong fist King Kung," The marine officer gave this some thought. "Keep an eye on the pirate in the meantime don't attack unless needed to, I'll be on my way there in half an hour." He hung up the transponder and then a faint smirk was seen on his face.

Akame was on her way to Leone's location only to be followed by Juvia and Cana. "What are you-" The two girls gave the former assassin a serious look. "We're in this together, I know that you're not a officially member of Fairy Tail yet but even so we need to stick with each other."

"Juvia wants to help Akame and fight against any enemy that we encounter." Akame smiled a little. "Thank you two."

M

At the gambling house, the customers were scared and didn't look at the strong fist pirate.

"Ugh, this place is quiet despite the customers here." Kung muttered looking at each of the passing customers.

A tall muscular man that was bald and had massive biceps appeared with boxing gloves.

Bull Bald Bully

Kung Pirate crew's first combat and boxer.

"I'll enjoy giving these customers my bull charge if any oppose us."

Then three strange animals were there.

Rabbit wearing a Kung-Fu outfit with a white maroon sash, it had small shaved white hair between its long ears, hanging on his waist's side was a Katana sword.

Usagi Moto

Kung's pirate Swordsman.

"We're here to take some treasure not to cause any bloodshed."

A Tiger a female one wearing a female kung-Fu red dress though her cleavage showed a bit, with Wild'n long red hair that reached her lower back with a slim figure with big breasts, she was walking behind the rabbit like creature.

Tigress

Kung's Combat Instructor.

"Let's just do what captain says..." She showed some hostile to the captain but kept it in check.

A Buffalo like creature walked next to the strange two animals, he had black hair with dreadlocks that were in the back of his head, he wore a black tunic with brown pants and maroon sash.

Temukai

Kung's 2nd Strong Fighter

"I would like to kick some butt..." He said with a look that showed he wants to fight.

A masked man with wrestling like pants appeared.

Mask Muscle Devlin

3rd boxing fighter

"Anyone should give up so that they don't end up battered and bruised." The man was wearing boxer gloves and a mask that covered his head only showing his mouth and eyes. "

Leone seeing the new animal faces was new to her. "Those animals are strange..." As far as she can remember the creatures she saw that were out of this world were Fairy Tail's Exceeds and the Demons from Tartaros.

She sensed their auras each one of strong but sense something else. "I sense that those three somewhat stressed but boldness, courage, and power."

"Alright everyone of you scumbags!" Kung roared making each of the customers flinch and forced them to look at him. "We'll take any money of yours and any prize money you won so far!"

"You better do what he says he can get really impatient!" Bald Bull Bully added with a smirk.

The customers flinched with hesitation but walked to the pirate.

Kung Fist and some of his crew held out empty bags.

Then two parents along with their daughter were trying to sneak out.

Masked Muscle Devlin spotted this little sneak away. "Hey you three!" The three froze as the masked pirate walked over the three looking very unhappy. "Trying to sneak away are you?"

"No sir we just have to use the rest-" The masked pirate grabbed the man by his shirt. "Don't be a wise ass I know you're trying to sneak away."

"Please let my husband go!" The mother pleaded.

The masked pirate then made a perverted grin at the woman. "Oh my, such a hot woman you are..." He licked his lips and looking at her chest. "Quite the nice chest you got."

Leone gritted her teeth. "Damn...a pervert."

"I'm scared mommy." The daughter whimpered with fear.

Devlin tossed the husband aside. "Come on ma'am, how about joining us and your daughter too,"

The mother was taken a back by this offer. "No...I can't...and my daughter is too young to out at sea..." The masked pirate's smirk went upside down into a frown. "This isn't a choice...either you-"

Bonk

"We're here to rob this place not to pick up women!" Kung roared as a lump appeared on the masked pirate's head. "Sorry sir..." He groaned in pain while holding his head. "You're lucky lady...for now."

"Anyway lady give us your money or I'll might have to get rough." Kung demanded with impatient in his voice. "Also we're looking for the owner as well, so look around men!"

"YEEAAHH!

The mother's face went pale like she knew something which Leone noticed. "I can tell she knows something but it seems this jackass Kung doesn't realize that yet."

"Psst...psst." A male voice whispered. "Come on..." A man was hiding behind the one of the game slots gesturing the woman and his daughter to come over to him. "Dear what you-" The man put his finger to his lips. "Shh...we're getting out of here...once we do we'll have any marine scout and have them call the Navy."

"Okay dear but if those pirates find us we'll be killed especially by their captain." The mother said looking very concerned despite her husband's plan.

"Ahem..." The three turned to see Leone. "Excuse me, if you want to stay safe then come with me." She turned around as she realized the three weren't going to follow her so easily. "I know we just meant but please I must insist that you follow me."

The father was little hesitate at this suggest while the mother shared the same but the little girl walked over to the woman. "Mommy...daddy, I think we should give her a chance." Her parents were surprised at this forwardness but knew that the pirates would hurt them if they saw them trying to escape which the parents nodded in agreement.

Leone grinned as she pat the girl on the head. "You got spunk kid, anyway what is your name?" The girl giggled awkwardly. "My name's Terri." The blond woman giggled with a bright smile. "Cute name for a little girl."

Akame, Cana, and Juvia were close to the gambling house.

"We're almost there!"

"Juvia hopes Leone is fine!"

"Don't worry our 2nd blonde chick can handle herself!"

Though Akame begged to differ after hearing about the bounty on the Kung's head they might have to cautious, they don't know much about these pirates let alone what kind of powerhouses they might have.

As they saw the gambling house they proceed to enter until a few men that were employees there began to sneak away. "We must escape..."

"What about the customers,"

"Better than being punched into submission." one added cowardly.

Cana heard this and roughly grabbed the gambling employee by his shirt. "Hold on didn't you guys call the Navy or something?"

"Uhh...I...I...wanted...too...but there was no time." The employee answered with a stammering tone which only made Cana lift up the man even higher. "You left your customers for dead is that it!?"

Akame placed her hand on the drunk girl's shoulder. "Enough...put him down." The Fairy Tail drunk girl did so. "How many customers are stuck in the gambling house?"

"Uh...I say about 25 or 30..." The man trembled nervously.

Akame nodded her head. "Change of plan, follow me." She gestured the other two girls to follow her quietly. "Juvia don't know what's going on but let's see what she plan she has."

Cana sighed. "Better than standing around."

Leone was secretly escorting the family to the back door.

Leone put her index finger to her lips gesturing the family to be quiet. "Shh. Follow me out quietly." She caught a whiff of one of the pirates scent which was getting close. "Come on..." She quietly opened the door but as she did...

CREEAAKK

A pirate grunt heard this. "Who's over there," He took out his pistol as the pirate proceed to the sound.

Leone knew that there wasn't time to get herself too. "Damn door." She dashed pass the family and glanced at them. "Get out of here...now." The family was little hesitate at this especially the little girl Terri. "What about y-" Leone gave them a serious look. "Get out of here now!" She turned to face the pirate. "Lionel: Activate!" She transformed into her beast form.

The pirate then gave the blond a perverted grin. "My quite the airbags you got there babe..." He licked his lips. "How's about joining my captain's crew we can use a woman like you."

Leone gave the pirate a disgusted face. "Geez its men like you I despise." She cracked her knuckles. "Take this you dumbass!" She delivered a powerful punch to the pirate's gut that send him crashing into the wall.

"What the hell was that!?" Bully questioned.

"Let's over there!" Kung ordered out pointing to the direction where the noise came from.

Leone cracked her knuckles again as Kung was approaching her with his crew and a smirk appeared on the woman's face. "Let the fun begin."

Akame along with Juvia and Cana arrived outside the gambling house.

"This is it." Akame said looking at the building.

"Quite gambling house." Cana said with a deadpan look. "I wonder if they have boozes there."

Juvia sweat dropped at the card user's words. "I don't think this is the time to thinking about boozes."

Akame then noticed something. "Hold it." She put her arm out as she glanced at on the right side of the gambling house. "Is that marine."

Lefou was sneaking in the back. "I hope the captain is doing well."

"Is a marine?" Cana whispered.

"Is he going to rescue the hostages?" Juvia wondered.

Akame wasn't sure about that, usual the marines surround buildings that have pirates in them and wait for them to come out and have to fight if it comes to that so she closed her eyes.

Cana realized what the younger assassin girl was doing. "I take it that you're using your aura sensor ability," Akame didn't answer cause she needed to concertrate but it was clear that Card user was right.

Akame opened her eyes with concern. "Juvia, Cana, contact the Duval's fish riders, if any of them can ride their flying fish then have them meet here."

"Right." Cana nodded. "I hope to kick some major butt." She took out the transponder snail.

"Juvia, you're with me I'll need your skills for this." Akame ordered which the water mage nodded.

Akame walked towards the gambling house. "Something else tells that things are going bad to worse and that marine I sense darkness from him."

Inside Leone was taking on Kung's crew members most were grunts. "This is all you got?" She gave a cocky smile.

"Quite strength that woman has." Kung said impressed a little. "But this is fight has just begun."

The fist pirate captain snapped his finger which gestured towards Bald Bull Bully.

The bald muscle man went in to the front line. "You'll be going down lady with one punch from my "Bull Charge".

Leone just smirked. "Bring it on." Her breasts bounced which got the bald boxer's eyes to widened. "Oh my!"

Kung gritted his teeth. "Keep focused you moron!"

That got the bald boxer to jump. "Yes captain!" He began to roll his fists then throw a jab but Leone moved her head in second. "Nice try."

"My turn!" The blonde woman pulled her right fist and extended forward right into the bald boxer's forehead.

Kung and his crew were in awe as their crewmate was sent backwards on his butt. "Ow...That was strong." He rubbed his forehead and smirked.

Leone smiled a little. "Looks like I found a worthy opponent." The bald boxer got up on his feet. "I'm getting warmed up."

Bald Bull Bully began to taunt. "AI Ian Hook" He chanted. "AI Ian!" He threw a hook like swing to the left which was fast and Leone barely dodged as it scratched her cheek. "You like that woman,"

The blonde girl wiped her scratch and licked it. "Not bad, its been so long since someone was able to scratch me."

Kung had to admit he was impressed but just continued smirking. "If that lady thinks she can handle this then she's in for a surprise..." He smiled in sneaky like look. "Or rather a beaten."

Leone cracked her knuckles. "Let's keep this going so time for me to get serious." She delivered a punch to his punch to his gut. "Ooh!" The bald man groaned.

"Rapid Beast Punch!" Leone proclaimed as she delivered multiple punches to the man's face.

"That's strong." Temukai commented with surprise.

Tigress was starting to get an idea. "Hmm..."

Leone delivered a punch to his gut but with more rapid punches this time which hurt the man even more. "Had enough?"

Bald Bull Bully stepped back a little beginning to snort and then stomping his feet forward. "Bull Charge Sky Uppercut!" He delivered a even more powerful uppercut right under the blonde woman's chin.

That uppercut was so strong that Leone was knocked out on the ground. "No one was able to get up from that powerful." He then gave off a perverted grin. "Captain, can I please have a little fun with this chick?"

Tigress didn't know why but something about the human woman was off. "Is she really down." She observed closely and noticed a slight movement from the girl. "I see..."

Kung sighed deeply. "Ugh, fine then."

Just as Bald Bull Bully felt someone grab his left shin which he looked down to where the woman was laying. "Huh?"

Leone gripped the man's shin tightly. "Man that really hurt but I ain't done yet."

Kung and Masked Muscle Delvin were in awe. "She-"

"Getting-"

"Back up!" Temukai and Usagi finished sharing the same reaction.

Tigress's thought of this was confirming her theory and her idea that she was thinking might be worth.

Leone's grip gotten more tighter which hurt Bald Bull. "Ahhh!" This caused him to lose his balance which gave the blond a chance to counter attack.

"Time to end this!" The blonde pulled left fist making an upward motion. "Beast Uppercut!" Her left fist glowed a bright yellow light and delivered her attack right into the Bull's chin which send him crashing into one of the gambling slots.

This created a explosion and smoke then once it cleared it showed that the Bald Bull Bully was out knocked out with this eyes rolled back.

Masked Muscle Devlin gritted his teeth. "Take this!" He spitted in the woman's eyes which blinded her. "Ugh, you spitted in my face jackass!"

Devlin smirked a little. "Senora, you're in for my Gringo 'Headbutt!" He headbutted the woman's forehead which send her on the ground. "Not everyone can get up from that."

He did his Orthodox stance just incase his opponent got up but she didn't move an inch. "Adios!" He shouted as he was about to walk away he felt a hand grab his shin. "What?"

"That was the same trick!" Temukai thought.

Kung had a enough of this tricks. "Shoot her!" A sniper came from a corner and took aim at the woman's head.

"Fighting dirty." Tigress muttered not liking what she was seeing.

Just then a stream of water was unleashed at the sniper. "Water Nebula!" It was Juvia who was angry. "So you guys decided to cheat." She was given off a dark aura. "Makes my stomach turn seeing my friends in pain."

The water wizard began to walk towards the pirates as she stared at them with a cold stare. "Forget the blonde kill this chick!"

Other pirate took out their pistols and shot Juvia which hit from every angle of her body which Kung smirked but he noticed that her body was moving strangely. "What?"

"Drip drip drop." Juvia whispered. "Juvia's body is made of water, so you can't hurt me."

"This is a new Logia type," Tigress questioned but brushed off that thought. "No, there is no devil fruit that has water powers, its a devil fruit user's weakness."

Usagi was surprised as his crew was. "Amazing." This display got him more curious.

Kung gritted his teeth. "Mask Devlin get her!" He ordered angrily.

The masked boxer attempted to punch the woman's face but to his shock his attack went through. "What the hell!?" Juvia's head reappeared back on her body. "Don't get ahead of yourself."

Her own hand turned into water. "Water Cane!" She whipped her water like whip at at Devlin which whipped him in the face with great speed, flexibility, and pressure.

This attack sent the masked boxer falling on the floor and knocked him out. "That chick took out Devlin!"

"One attack no less!"

Kung gritted his teeth. "You had beaten my crew, however you must deal with these guys." He gestured towards the animal like creatures.

Juvia narrowed her eyes at the strange creatures. "What are you guys?" She could tell they weren't Demons from Tartaros, none of them looked it.

Usagi approached the water wizard. "We're the Minks, a tribe of animals from the New World." That was new to the water mage. "Minks..." She wondered if Rayleigh's friend knows about these creatures.

Either way Juvia now had to face these creatures and didn't know much about them, however she had to keep them stalled until the marines arrive.

M

Cana was waiting for the flying fish riders. "Damn, what is taking those guys so long." She saw the stranger marine talking to his transponder next to a broken wall part. "Time for some snooping."

Lefou was inserting something on the wall. "Heh...heh...this is perfect with this bomb I can blow up the entire wall and then get my award." He laughed as he placed more bombs on the other parts of the building.

Cana was confused at what the man was talking about. "Award, what does he mean?" He then got out his transponder snail. "Come in Captain Kung."

Kung's transponder snail began to ring. "It's about time Lefou, where the hell are you now?"

"Captain, I'm outside the building placing a few bombs on the walls, once I detonate them, we can make our escape, but we must be quick the marines are on our way." Lefou explained.

"Good, blow up the wall now!" Kung ordered as his double agent pirate lit the bombs' line.

KABOOOM

The wall destroyed was rumble from the side and rooftop collapsed. "Everyone retreat to the rendezvous point!"

Juvia disappeared along with Leone as Kung went laughed. "Look, our ticket out of this dump!" He turned to his crew. "Did you all get money and anything else?"

"Yes captain, we got a over 200 million berries!"

"Along with diamonds and golden coins!"

"Excellent, let's go!"

The Shipping area.

The marines were on their way already and all were lead by Sentomaru. "I can't imagine why, but Lefou report sounds kind of fishy." He hasn't heard from the marine for half a hour, he wonders what the man could be up to.

Cana looked towards the gambling house. "Crap, the wall was blown up!" She ran towards the large hole and began to search for her friends. "Juvia, Leone, where you are two?"

The smoke inside due to the explosion made it hard to card user to see. "Damn smoke..." She then heard liquid sounds.

There was Juvia and below her was Leone. "Cana, I'm glad you alright." The card user smiled and looked down at the blond. "Is she-"

"I pulled her inside me to ensure her safety." The water mage answered as tears fell from her eyes. "Why couldn't I do that with my darling Gray again!?"

Cana sweat dropped at the scene. "I should've expected that."

Akame smiled a little.

Leone got up. "Anyway, let's go find those bastards and beat them up!"

Cana was already on that so she explained what she heard from the marine Lefou and learned of the location of their ship.

"Hey ladies!"

"Did we miss anything?"

The fish riders were on their way. "Its about time!" Cana said relieved.

"Juvia thinks we should get a ride with to the pirate's location." Juvia suggested.

Leone nodded. "Right, hey you guys we need you to give us a ride!"

They explained the situation and the fish riders accepted to help them.

Each of the girls got a ride with the fish riders much to their delight. "We got girls riding with us!"

"Geez we're lucky!"

"Duval would be jealous!"

Leone started to pinch one she was riding with by his cheek. "Don't get any funny ideas dumbass."

"My heart belongs to Gray!" Juvia snapped comically.

"Perverts." Cana muttered.

Akame didn't say a word but the behavior of the fish rider men wasn't surprising to her, reminding her of Lubbock and the men from Blue Pegasus, she then noticed something on the ground.

The former youngest assassin picked it up. "What is this?" She realized it was a note and read it. Once she was done her eyes widened. "This is bad."

At the shipping area.

Kung along with some of his crew members and the marine Lefou were packing stuff on their ship.

"Let's go!"

"The sooner we pack our goods the faster we can leave!"

"I was hoping to have a little fun with that blond chick!" Bald Bull Bully groaned in disappointed.

Bonk Bonk Bonk

"Stop being perverted and keep packing!" Kung shouted leaving a large lump on his crew mate's head.

Lefou was giving off a sneaky smirk. "Yes, once we leave here we'll be able to escape with the loot we stole."

Tigeress glanced at the direction they came from.

Flashback scene.

She writing something a piece of paper and tossed it next to a pile of rumble.

Flashback ends.

"I hope those human girls found that message I left them." She thought.

Akame explained of what she read on the note she found which was message from Tigeress. "Wait, so that letter said that areas 70-40 have some bombs hidden inside the ground!?" Leone exclaimed in shock.

"That's right, its enough to blow up half of the island." The other assassin replied with a nod. "The marine Lefou is also a spy for his captain King Kung, its likely they were planning this for awhile and probably during the past year."

"Looks like our work has gotten more of drag." Cana said taking a sip of sake. "Gulp...gulp...question is now, how do we find these bombs and to de-activate them?"

Akame had that answer already. "The letter also came with a location of the four bombs that hidden in 70, 60, 50, and 40 area." She then looked at Juvia. "Juvia, I need your help with your water bubbles we should be able keep the bombs safe without setting them."

The water wizard nodded. "Right, let's hurry then."

Akame nodded and turned to the other girls. "Leone you take area 50, Cana you take area 40, once you get there find the locations where the bombs are hidden then take them with you."

"Then what?" Cana questioned.

"Meet us both at the shipping dock, we can use the bombs to destroy the flag ship of King Kung." Akame replied. "Once that happens he and his crew won't be able to escape."

The others liked the plan so they agreed. "Let's do this." Leone stated with a grin.

"Yeah!" The others roared raising their arms minus Akame.

The former assassins, the Fairy Tail wizards, and their new friends went in separate directions, though one thing was troubling Akame. "What can King Kung gain destroying the half of this island?" The plan sounded suicide or pointless but either way that would have to come later.

End of chapter.
