Chapter 27: The Navy's Plan 2

Chimney and her pet rabbit Gonbe were looking for Yokozuna. "Hey, Yokozuna!"

"Meow! Meow!" The rabbit meowed.

The two were approached the Rocky Cape looking for their friend. "Grandma is looking for you!"

Kokoro was at Scarp Island, was sitting on a pile of rubble and drinking wine. "Gulp gulp gulp."

She drank her wine down. "It's been two years since Strawhat made his reappearance at Marineford, hopefully, he's gonna continue his adventure."

At Dock 1

Aquapad and Elfman were almost done uploading the last of the wood beams. "Almost done here!"

"Yeah! Only a few beams left!"

"We're on a roll here!" Tilestone roared pumping his arms up again.

On the Grand Line

Outside Long-Ring Long Land.

A few hours earlier Erza and Lucy's team reunited along they met Tonjit an old man that was on a vacation with his family.

Then a Panda Mink arrived on the island with telling the wizards about his friends and how he got separated from them.

Present

The wizards along with the Panda Mink named Pango decided to take their trip to Water 7 after the old man Tonjit offered them some food to last until they got to the floating-like island.

"See ya kids!" Tonjit waved with his family all smiling while some were getting teary-eyed.

"So long Erza Scarlet!"

"You too Gajeel the Iron Dragon Slayer guy!"

"Thunder Legion guys you take care!"

"Yeah! Take care big sis Kagura!"

Erza was a little embarrassed. "Man such flattery."

Kagura was facing away blushing brightly pink due to the big sis part. "Wow, this is embarrassing."

"Aw no need to feel embarrassed," Levy giggled at the two swordswoman's reaction.

"Aren't they all gushy or what?" Gajeel turned his head.

"Geez don't be a jerk Gajeel!" Lucy scowled.

"Anyway, our next destination is Water 7," Everyone looked at Mest who was speaking. "As you know our friends Lisanna, Elfman, and Mira are there."

"Yes, no doubt that Natsu and the others are probably on their way too," Erza said with her finger on her mouth. "Surely they must've noticed the three in the newspaper too."

"We can assume they did or so," Laxus said with his arms crossed. "At any rate we need to reach them, not to mention the Navy might still go after Natsu and Gray since they along with their new friends opposed this Celestial Dragon."

"Right, Pango mentioned that whenever those nobles are hurt by pirates or by anyone else the navy headquarters send an Admiral and fleet of battleships to handle that kind of situation," Freed added.

"Yes, Water 7 is connected to Pucci Island too, so we must get there and warn them fast," Evergreen said while fixing her glasses.

Lucy was nervous upon hearing about this Admiral. "There are three Admirals and the one that Natsu along with Gray fought was Kizaru." She hoped that her friends are safe somewhere in Water 7 for the time being.

On Fishman Island

Fishman District Noah

Hordy Jones

Captain of the New Fishman Pirates.

"So anything on the Fairy Tail wizards?"

In front of him was a Fishman grunt.

"We heard that this one gave the Celestial Dragon a good punch," The Fishman grunt held out a wanted poster of Natsu.

"Hmm interesting, seems those Fairy Tail are making names for themselves," Hordy smirked menacingly. "I hope to them along with the Strawhat Pirates."

Just then the Transponder snail was ringing, Hordy took hold of the receiver. "Who is this?"

"Captain, Saizou our recruit has arrived!"

The Shark Fishman smirked. "Excellent tells him to meet her at once!"

"Right!" The voice replied as the Fishman captain hung up.

"Saizou, that perverted-" The Fishman grunt began to say. "You know if that pervert peeps on the Mermaids he'll draw unwanted attention captain!"

Hordy grunted in annoyance. "Don't question me!" The Fishman grunt jumped in fright comically. "Sorry captain!"

"However you do bring a point," Hordy said putting his hand on his chin. "I heard have him work with Hammond for a while until then, tell him to make sure he needs to stay out of sight."

"Yes, captain!" The Fishman saluted and ran off.

"Anytime Strawhats, Fairy Tail..." Hordy smirked as he smirked showing his teeth. "You humans shall meet your maker."

Next to his transponder was another that dark with a black receiver, which had the Tartaros guild mark on it as the New Fishman Pirate captain glanced at it. "I think I might want to keep Aquas updated."

At Water 7

First Galley-La Headquarters(Iceburg's Mansion)

The sun was starting to set.

Iceburg was finishing signing some papers for the day. "Well then..." He stood up from his chair. "I better get ready for dinner."

At Blueno's Bar

The Fairy Tail's first pirate ship was finally done, the three Fairy Tail trio siblings were in awe, their flag was blue with a skull with the Fairy Tail guild mark on the forehead.

"That's manly!" Elfman roared with excitement.

"Can wait to take it out for a ride on the seas!" Lisanna added with her arms up in the air.

Mirajane smiled brightly. "It's so beautiful."

"I think we should celebrate!" Aquapad suggested.

The trio siblings thought that was a good idea.

Iceburg arrived and had a suggestion. "In that case lets to the bar."

Kiwi and Mozu decided to head there for a drink too.

Mira, Elfman, Lisanna, and Aquapad decided to have dinner there.

Tilestone, Peepley, and the Franky Family decided to join.

Though wizards and the Fishman didn't drink alcohol, Lisanna and Mira drank ginger ale, Elfman drank apple juice.

As for their meals, they ate chicken wings, hot steak, green salads, and chocolate cake for dessert.

Aquapad drank cold lemonade.

The Franky Family drank some wine and boozes though.

"Cheers!" Everyone cheered as they clang their glass mugs together.

"Talk about hard work!"

"Yeah, we're manly!" Elfman and Tilestone roared with a cheer.

"Geez, don't be so loud," Lisanna said with a playful smile while covering her eyes.

Boom

"What was that?" Paulie wondered in shock.

Just then a Galley-La worker came barging into the bar in a hurry. "Paulie, we got trouble there is a boy with pink attacking Yokozuna!"

The description got the attention of the Strauss Trio. "Can it be?"

"Right!"

Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna got up from their seats and dashed out of the bar.

"Where are you three going?" Zambai asked taken by surprise.

"Let's follow them!" Tilestone suggested in a loud tone.

"Geez keep your voice down a bit!" Paulie shouted comically.

But the vice-president of Galley-La noticed the clothing that Kiwi and Mozu were wearing. "Hey, you two put on decency clothes!" His face was completely red as a tomato.

Natsu and Yokozuna were still going at it, both were panting heavily. "You're not too bad."

The giant sumo-wrestling frog smirked and nodded which was told the pinkette boy that the frog approved of him being a worthy opponent. "Let's finish this!"

Natsu pulled back his arm. "Fire Dragon's Flame Elbow!" A stream of fire was fired from his elbow, propelling him forward.

Yokozuna did his sumo stance and prepared to keep his guard up.

Natsu's punch collided with Yokozuna's right web-like hand.

Chimney and Gonbe arrived to see the fight.

"Whoa, who's that guy!?"

Gonbe was wondering the same thing. "Meow! Meow!"

Yokozuna was about to use his free hand to deliver a palm attack but Natsu saw that coming. "Fire Dragon's Claw!"

His feet were now in flames, thereby increasing his power kicks which landed a hit on the frog's chin and knocking him into the water.

The sumo frog soon resurfaces seemingly unconscious.

"Is he okay?" Happy asked.

Gray arrived at the First Galley-La Headquarters with Miyaka in his arms.

Iceburg was outside and seeing the two. "You both need-" He stopped as soon as he realized who he was talking to. "Wait are you Gray Fullbuster?"

The ice mage was surprised. "How did you know?"

Iceburg was about to answer that but he noticed Miyaka's wound. "What happened to her?"

Gray almost forgot about her. "Miyaka got hurt while she and I along with some friends escaped the Navy!" He bowed his head. "Please is there a doctor around here!"

"Yes, I'll give Kyukyu a call right away!" Iceburg replied. "Bring her in now!"

B

Rocky Cape.

Yokozuna regained consciousness and swam towards the land, he was willing to keep on fighting.

Natsu smirked. "You still want to go at it huh?" He indeed liked this frog. "Bring it-" He stopped as his stomach growled which made him stop in embarrassment.

"I'm hungry!"

"So am!" Kotori held her stomach.

"Me too," Sheele said looking embarrassed as her stomach growled.

"This is embarrassing," Melody covered her face with her hands.

Fujika giggled but then her stomach growled. "My stomach says it wants to eat."

"Natsu!" A voice called out.

Natsu turned to the voice, there coming from the rent house was Lisanna, behind her was Elfman, Mirajane, Aquapad along with some of Galley-La workers. "Lisanna, Elfman, Mira!"

The pinkette dragon slayer ran towards his friends.

Happy was so happy too. "You guys!"

The two groups hugged with joy with teary eyes.

"Natsu, Happy, good to see you guys!"

"Yeah! glad you three are alright!"

"Aye, we missed you!"

Kiwi and Mozu were crying tears of joy. "Too touching!"

"Yes and beautiful!"

"Reunion is sweet!" Tilestone roared with crocodile tears.

Paulie just smiled with his arms crossed. "Come on let's not get sappy here." He chuckled but stopped when he saw the female slaves' clothing. "You three hussies those clothes are torn and revealing too!"

The three slaves tilted their heads in confusion.

Paulie then noticed Fujika in her amazon outfit. "An amazon...hey your outfit is revealing too much, cover your legs and stomach!" His face was completely red.

Zambai approached the three slaves. "You three hungry come with us, your friends can join us too."

The other Franky Family smiled holding out their hands with such kindness.

The three slaves smiled happily at this display.

"Yeah! Let's party!"

"Where is Gray?" Lisanna wondered.

"Oh, he's taking a new friend to the hospital," Natsu answered. "I think he should be into the shipbuildings area somewhere.

"I'll call Iceburg to be sure!" Paulie said and ran off into the rental house. "You guys go back to the bar I'll catch up later!"

Soon later Iceburg got the call from Paulie, explaining the situation, and eventually, the doctor treated the wound Miyaka had in a medical room.

Shortly after the doctor, Kyukyu approached the ice mage. "Gray..." He smiled at the young man. "Your friend is doing fine, she'll need rest for the rest of tonight but be sure she takes it easy for a few days."

Gray nodded and bowed. "Yes, and thank you, sir." He had another favor. "I would like to stay here for tonight so she isn't alone."

Kyukyu chuckled at the boy's request. "I see you want to be alone with your girlfriend, how cute!"

"That's not it all!" Gray shouted comically. "Anyway, I'll stay here to be sure she's fine when she wakes up."

Kyukyu nodded with a smile. "Right I'll let Iceburg know so he contacts your friends."

Soon it was night.

Natsu and the rest of the gang were at the bar celebrating though it was a bit down that Gray and Miyaka wouldn't come they understood the reason.

"I have an idea, tomorrow let's take some food to them!" Lisanna suggested.

"Yeah!" Natsu and Happy cheered.

They continued to party until it got to midnight.

On Amazon Lily.

Boa Hancock along with her two sisters along with Gloriosa and Kuja pirates were getting ready to set sail to the island where Luffy was training at.

"Luffy!" The Snake Princess cried with a happy yet dreamy expression. "My love, I'm coming for you!"

"Is the food for Luffy ready?" Mari asked.

"Sure is!" Sweet Pea answered pumping her arms up, behind the rest of her friends was a large bag that had a lot of food.

"What about Natsu?" Marguerite wondered.

"Don't worry!" There was Kikyo with another large bag of food. "I got one for Natsu and Happy though some of it is fish so we'll keep it stored inside our freezer until then."

"That's so sweet of you Kikyo!" Aphelandra giggled sweetly.

Kikyo's face went red. "Don't say it!"

"I see you developed a soft spot for that Natsu kid," Sonia said with a smile as her snake tongue was sticking out.

Kikyo turned her face away. "Shut up!"

"Anyway, we set sail in the morning when the first light shows!" Boa Hancock proclaimed. "So get some sleep now!"

"Yes, Hancock!" The Amazon women saluted together.

Fairy Tail and their new friends stayed at the 2nd Galley-La Headquarters for the night, showing their flagship which they call: The Water Fairy

The name was quirky but they accepted the name of their flagship, Fujika explained how she still has some medicine for Natsu so that he could enjoy sailing, Aquapad got to know Natsu and Gray, congratulating on the two giving the Celestial Dragon a good ass-kicking, soon the three became friends already.

Natsu on the other hand couldn't wait to show his bounty to Erza, he always wanted to show her up since she was always able to beat him in a duel they had in the past, now he might have his chance. "Aw man I can't wait to show this to Erza!"

Elfman shrugged with his hand on his head. "Should've seen this coming."

"That's Natsu for ya," Happy sighed.

Later the entire gang went to sleep in.

On the Navy ship.

Kizaru was getting close and was asleep. "My my, so we arrive there in the afternoon."

The Sea Train was getting closer.

T-Bone was resting along with the secret agents and navy soldiers. "So we're almost there..."

Not too far was the ship that Erza and her friends were riding on.

The gang was asleep though each took turns staying guard, Erza chooses to stay up next while the others went to rest.

"Everyone we're on our way," She thought with a smile as a tear formed in her actual eye. "Then we'll go to Sabaody to meet the last of our group."

Outside the island Sabaody.

The fake Strawhats finally arrived.

"Heh heh heh!" The (Demaro Black)fake Luffy laughed. "Let's spread terror into these weaklings!"

"Yeah, captain!" Mounblutain(Fake Sniper King) added.

Chocolat(Fake Nami) grinned widely. "Yeah Captain, let's spread fear and let everyone we know the Strawhats returned!"

Cocoa was looking around while holding a leash attached to Nora Gitsune(Fake Chopper).

Drip(Fake Sanji)looked around the area. "Eh, looks like people are here!"

"What about Brook?" Turco(Fake Franky)asked.

"He'll meet up with shortly, but just in case Sanji and Zoro, keep an eye out for Brook while the rest of us make the arrangements!" Fake Luffy ordered with a wide grin while holding a few help wanted posters.

"Right captain!" Fake Sanji and Zoro saluted.

A mysterious silhouette was watching the pirates from above on a building roof. "It seems like the plan is in motion." The figure was no other Demon Dr. Stylish. "Too bad these men aren't young or cute looking."

The fake male straw hats stopped as they felt a weird sensation.

"What is your problem?" Fake Nami asked.

"Weird I had a strange feeling that something made our skin crawl," Mounblutain said shivering a bit.

"Forget it let's just get to work and putting up these fliers!" Fake Luffy yelled shaking off the feeling.

By the time the sun appeared, morning has arrived.

The Fairy Tail and their new Fishman friend were still asleep.

Eventually, the others were arriving too, Kagura was keeping watch this time, she saw the Water 7 up ahead, and she began to ring the ship's bell.

Ding-Ding Ding

Some of them were beginning to wake up but a few half-asleep. "Geez who set the alarm?" Gajeel yawned with a groggily look.

"Yeah, can we lower down the alarm..." Bickslow added with a yawn.

"I need my beauty sleep..." Evergreen groaned in annoyance.

"At least Natsu isn't the one waking us," Lucy thought wiping her eyes.

Laxus' opened his eyes and looked ahead. "Guys we're here!"

That got everyone to wake up fast. "Really!"

Wendy ran towards the front of the ship. "Water 7, we arrived!" She was so happy as tears were starting to form in her eyes. "Everyone..."

A hand was placed on the young mage's head. "Kid save your tears when we reunite with the others."

Levy agreed to that. "He's right."

Mest was relieved that he and the others arrived safely. "We're finally here."

The time for Erza's team, Thunder Legion, and Gajeel's team(Shadow Gear) to reunite with Team Natsu and the Strauss trio is about to come, but what will the Navy catch up and start a battle, that's anyone's guess.

End of chapter.
