Chapter 46: Sharley the Fortune Teller

In the Mermaid Cafe.

Mirajane was on the stage singing her song(the same one she sang during Natsu team's return from the incident on the Arc System).

Elfman was at a table with Brook and Cana.

Gildarts was hanging out with the mermaids, laughing in a drunken state. "Geez, you ladies are such beautiful creatures." He was acting all goofy.

"To think that the famous Red-Haired Shanks has a brother, this is exciting!" A mermaid cooed excitedly.

Gildarts chuckled awkwardly. "Oh no, I'm not a brother of this Shanks, but, he seems to be an interesting guy, I heard so much about him including his appearance at Marineford, I hope I get to meet him someday!"

Mira's song was done and everyone clapped sound with cheers.

"Gee, I never knew your sister could sing so beautifully," The skeleton musician said impressed.

"That's my big sis!" Elfman cheered.

"Mira is one of our top singers in Fairy Tail," Cana said dripping some boozes.

Hearing that detail made the skeleton surprised. "I thought you were oldest sibling Elfman," He questioned.

Elfman chuckled while rubbing his head. "Well, I may be tall, but, technically Mira is the big sister in my family."

"Oh, that makes Lisanna the youngest sibling," Brook presumed.

"Correct," Elfman replied then the Beast Soul mage had a question of his own. "Anyway, Brook, is it true that you were still on the seas for 50 years?"

"Now that I think about it, we didn't get a chance to get you to know you guys more, so, how we share our backgrounds," Cana suggested with a hiccup.

Brook took a sip of his tea and placed it on the small plate. "Sounds good, also, you're corrected, I'm formerly human, I used to be a member of the Rumbar Pirates, a crew that brings a smile to every child, that's what my former captain would always say, we always loved playing music together."

Elfman pumped up his arms. "That sounds manly!"

"Yo-ohohohoh..." Brook laughed. "Unfortunately, my captain got sick while we traveled through a jungle, our captain must've gotten infected by a mysterious virus, even the doctor of my former crew couldn't cure him."

Elfman felt sorry for the former Rumbar Pirate. "I'm sorry..."

"Talk about bad timing for your captain," Cana added drinking a sip of more boozes.

Brook took a deep breath. "I eventually became the new captain of the Rumbar Pirates, however, one day we were attacked by some enemies that shot us with poison arrows..."

Elfman flinched that detail. "Poison arrows... that's awful..."

"Seriously, you and your former crew were shot with poison arrows..." Cana questioned in shock despite her drunken state.

Brook nodded. "Yes, not only that we had a few moments to live, so, we recorded our last but best song..."

"Recorded?" Elfman questioned.

That's when Brook placed his hand on the top of his head and lift the very top open like a lid.

"AAAAHHHH!" Cana and Elfman exclaimed comically with gaping mouths.

The skeleton musician reached his hand into his skull and took out a dial. "This has the recording of my crew and I singing our last song, would you like me to play it?"

Despite the creepy thing that the skeleton did, they smiled. "That sounds manly of you, but, we prefer you would play while the rest of our friends are here with us."

Cana agreed for once. "Yeah, they need to hear the song, that said, we can make a memory our the time we shared,"

Brook saw no problem with that. "I understand, by the way, miss Cana..."

"You call me "Cana"..." She replied taking another sip of boozes.

The skeleton opened his mouth and gave her a perverted look. "Of course...Can you show me your panties?"

Bonk Bonk

"Pervert!" Cana comically yelled delivering two punches to the skeleton's head leaving two red lumps.

"He grows red lumps even if he doesn't have skin!?" Elfman questioned with a gaping mouth.

"Ow..." The skeleton groaned.

"Oh my, what happened here," Mira approached her friend's table with a smile though she looked like she was a little unhappy.

Elfman shivered comically. "Uhh...how much did you hear, big sis?"

"A lot before Cana delivered a punch on Brook's head..." Mira replied her eyes closed which were twitching slightly.

In the Gyoncorde Plaza

Gajeel, Lily, Levy, Chelsea, and Tigress walk through the town.

Some Fishman and merfolk were watching them pass by.

"Is that Tiger Mink?"

"Seems so, but, aren't those creatures suppose to be in the New World?"

"Look that strange-looking panther mink, not like one I saw, then again, I never saw one before,"

"There sure a lot of Fishman and merfolk here," Gajeel said.

"This is called Fishman Island for a reason," Levy reminded. "Though I have to admit, this place is quite amazing, I wish the rest of our friends back home could see this."

"Agreed, but, for now, we must find where the others are," Lily said with his arms crossed. "If Tartaros is somehow involved with this threat might come, then things could get ugly."

M

Nami, Franky, and Robin were walking through the coral reefs.

"Man, surely, we would've heard Luffy or those Fairy Tail pirates make a racket somewhere by now," Franky said rubbing his head.

Robin agreed, but another thought occurred to her. "Perhaps, but, we can assume that they must be in the town that's on Fishman Island,"

"Right, surely, we can find some details, not to mention on this Tartaros guild that Fairy Tail was talking about," Franky agreed.

"I think we should wait on that," Nami suggested as her friends looked at her. "We don't know if this Tartaros is still around here, not to mention we don't want to cause any panic, so, let's meet up with our friends and we'll talk more about it later."

Her friends nodded in agreement.

Then they heard footsteps coming their way.

"Who's there?" Franky said putting his hand out.

"Wait, it's just us!" There was Lucy and Wendy that just came from behind a large rock.

"Geez, don't be so jumpy," Leone teased.

"Honestly, she acts like a child still," Carla added with a shrug.

"Hey, stop picking on me!" Lucy complained then she face-palmed herself. "Oh no, I'm starting to sound like Natsu!"

Pango was there stood. "She's funny to mess with."

Bonk Bonk

"Stop picking on me bear!" Lucy comically punched the panda mink.

"Sorry..."

Akame came from behind holding a net of fish. "Meat... I can cook these fish in no time." She said drooling.

"Yes, let's make a snack!" Leone cheered.

"Where'd you two come from?" Lucy yelled comically completely startled.

"I suppose, we can use a snack," Robin said with a smile. "Not to mention I didn't get the chance to taste your cooking."

"Seriously!?" Nami and Lucy questioned.

"Well, after seeing how good she cooked that meat she gave Luffy, I want to try her cooking," Franky said breathing out some fire. "I can help with the fire."

"Did he just breathe out the fire?" Carla and Wendy thought in question.

Despite the fiery breath, the young assassin nodded in to approve. "Thanks, I appreciate it."

"Aw, no need to make me blush," Franky said rubbing his head in a flattering matter.

"Geez, would you please put some pants on though?" Carla asked a little embarrassed but not for herself. "There's a female child in front of you!"

"It's okay Carla, that is his style anyway," Wendy assured trying to calm down her partner.

"Oh! You understand me so much!" Franky cried with tears of joy.

"Geez, does he have to cry about it?" Lucy sweatdropped.

Eventually, the fish hung over a fireplace and used Franky's fire to make the flames.

The fish were being cooked, they decided to gather around the fire.

Wendy was bouncing on Pango's belly. "Whee~whee~whee~'

"Child, be careful," Carla said.

"This is fun!" Wendy said excitedly.

The two eventually sat down.

Leone was drinking some red wine beside her was more. "Yes, red wine is so good."

"Hey, where'd you get that wine?" Carla asked.

The lionel user grinned sneakily. "I took it from Shakky's bar but, don't worry, I left her some money, a bit."

"A bit?" Lucy comically yelled with shark teeth.

Robin was a little interested. "Let me try a sip."

"You got it!" Leone poured the Archaeologist into her cup.

"Anyway, I have a question miss assassin wild cat..." The female black-haired Straw hat pirate said to the blond assassin.

"What is it?"

"Why did you trick that young boy Tatsumi into becoming a general?" Robin asked.

Leone was silent for a moment before she spoke. "Well...I just wanted to..." She answered jokily.

"That's your reason!?" Lucy and Carla sweatdropped.

Nami snickered. "I have to admit your trick was sneaky, you got skills sister..."

"Well, that being said...I just wanted to see if he's more innocent than he is...But..." Leone's face became serious. "More importantly, I knew he needed to know what the Capital was really like."

"You mean there was more besides what Aria and her friends did, right," Robin guessed.

"That's correct..." Leone took a sip of the red wine and wiped her mouth. "As you probably guessed, the Empire and Capital along with villages, towns, and cities that in the outside areas were corrupted."

"That sounds bad," Franky said a little concerned.

"Were there mostly combat fighters in your group?" Nami asked.

"Most, but, some of our comrades are also used for recon, like Chelsea," Leone answered. "She's used for sneaking up at opponents using her Imperial Arms, she can use it to take the form of people and creatures even plants."

"Interesting..." Robin said looking intrigued. "Seems the ancient weapons have quite the ability for a person to use."

Leone grinned. "That's right, we have a lot of historical books in the world one of our hideouts that's in the capital is a bookstore, a lot of books that you would like Robin."

The famous archaeologist was more intrigued than ever which made her giggle, then she had a question of her own. "Tell me, miss Celestial wizard."

Lucy was a bit surprised at the name. "Uhh...yes?"

"Does the Celestial world have a lot of books too?" The black-haired woman asked.

"Of course, my friends and I went there one time for a little celebration, though, things got a little complicated," Lucy said pausing for a moment.

Wendy and Carla knew what the blonde girl was getting at, remembering that they had five days until the Grand Magic Games started because they did know how many times passes in the Celestial World, all of them were seemingly moppy.

"Something wrong?" Robin asked noticing the expressions on the three Fairy Tail wizards.

Suddenly Virgo came from beneath Lucy, who was surprised. "I can explain that."

"Whoa, where'd she come from?" Nami exclaimed her eyes popping out.

"Holy crap, she must've to dung her way out from the ground!" Franky pointed out in realization.

"Yes..." Virgo eventually got out of the hole she dug out from. "I'm Virgo, I'm the loyal Celestial Spirit of my princess."

"Princess?" Pango asked tilting his head.

"She must be referring to Lucy," Robin presumed. "Anyway, I'm guessing you're from the Celestial Spirit, not only that I can provide you all with some unique clothing."

Nami liked the sound of that. "If that's the case, show me what you got little maid."

"Alright with you, princess?" Virgo asked.

Lucy giggled. "Go ahead."

While Virgo was showing Nami some new kinds of clothes even ones that Nami had before. "Wow, so cool!" She cooed with stars in her eyes.

Robin was checking out the leather of the clothes. "Interesting...quite the leather, each is different what the clothes I've seen before."

Then Loki came out of nowhere. "Hello Lucy, I'm here for the little picnic."

"How did you get here?" Lucy jumped in surprise.

She didn't get her to answer the moment that her spirit noticed Robin and Nami, he went over to them and bowed. "My, such beautiful ladies, I'm pleased to make your acquaintance." He took both their hands and prepared to kiss them.

Bonk

"Don't be gross!" Lucy had whacked the playboy spirit on the head.

Nami was creeped out. "Not another Sanji."

Robin just giggled.

"By the way Franky, we met your friend Iceberg," Wendy mentioned.

The cyborg looked at the young wizard. "Is that so?"

The blue-haired child smiled. "Yes, we also saw the Sea train, your friend told our other friends about Tom, how he saved Water 7 by building a sea train," Though she felt a little ache mentioning the transportation machine.

"That's right, we also got a train in our world, but, it runs on magic and on land too," Lucy added.

Franky laughed. "I see, that's super!"

"Your teacher tom sounds like an amazing guy, I bet he can build a sea train in our world too," Lucy stated, though she knew Natsu or the other dragon slayers wouldn't like it.

Franky started to bawl out tears. "Oh! That's so sweet of you to say that about my teacher!"

"Does he have to cry so loud," Carla sweatdropped.

Leone chowed down on the grilled fish. "I wish we could've seen this sea train."

"Indeed, it's not every day someone builds a train that runs on the sea," Akame said munching a fish as well.

Franky regains his composure. "Anyway, I'm willing to help you guys out with Tartaros, after all, you saved Water 7, the Franky Family, and my friend Iceberg, so, I owe you guys."

Wendy smiled brightly. "Thank you, Mr. Franky, by the way, Iceberg and the Franky Family say "Hi" too."

"Just call me "Franky" and thank you," Franky laughed patting the girl on her head. "Anyway, I heard of your friend Gray, about his actions against the Celestial Dragon."

"I heard Natsu oppose the wicked noble including the former marine Gray Fullbuster," Robin said. "Honestly, it's been quite some time since a marine turned against the law of the Navy." An image of Saul appeared in her mind.

"Yes, they caused quite a stir, we learned that the daughter of the mayor that lives on Pucci Island was being taken away by the Celestial Dragon."

The three Straw hat pirates gasped in shock.

"Gray was his escort, however after witnessing the cruel nature of the noble, he couldn't hold back his anger," Lucy replied. "Honestly, this time, I wouldn't blame, after hearing how cruel those Celestial Dragons are, they needed some butt-kicking."

Wendy agreed with a serious look. "Yeah, they're big meanies."

Leone began to crack her knuckles. "That's right, that fatass would've had to deal with my fists if he landed his pervy hands on my besties." She wrapped her arms around Akame and Wendy with a huge grin.

"Glad to know there are some other people that can oppose such cruel people like the Celestial Dragons," Franky said with a smirk. "I wished I could've seen the action."

Robin giggled in agreement. "Not to mention you guys have four minks, and Kuja pirate on your crew, quite the interesting crew indeed."

Leone gulped down another red wine. "Gulp...gulp...that is good stuff."

"Anyway, let's continue, our friends are probably in town," Nami said clapping her hands together.

"Yeah!" The group roared expect for Robin.

In another part of Coral Hill.

Fujika, Miyaka, and Millianna were walking through the town.

"So, this is Fishman Island," Miyaka said looking around the buildings.

"Yes, a lot of Fishman and Merfolk come in different shapes and sizes too," Fujika added.

"Meow, I never thought there were other mermaids besides the one that Lucy had," Millianna thought remembering Aquarius. "Anyway, the others are somewhere in the town."

Perhaps, I suggest we continue to Mermaid Cafe, someone there might be able to give us some info," Miyaka agreed.

"What is your relationship with Gray?" Fujuka asked.

That made the former marine sniper's face beet red. "Relationship...we're just friends, nothing more..."

"Meow, are you sure?" Millianna teased with a feline meow.

The former Kuja pirate then walked forward. "Either way, let's continue."

At Camie's friend's house

Gray and Juvia were walking by there.

"Sharley's Fortune Telling open..." Gray read a sign on the cafe's sign

Juvia had an idea. "C'mon my love, let's see if this Sharley woman can tell us if we have a future together!" She grabbed the ice mage's arm and pulled him inside the house. "Wait a minute!"

Too late she already pulled him in.

"Excuse me, is there a miss Sharley around here?" Juvia asked.

"I'm over here..." A tall mermaid was wearing a hooded purple blouse, the right side of her face covered by part of her hair, and her eyes were blue with slanted pupils that resembled shark eyes. She had red lips and was holding a pipe.

Sharley

Shortfin Mako Shark Mermaid

Fortune Teller

Gray and Juvia were in awe.

"She's...so...tall."

Juvia had to agree. "Her tail is different looking than Aquarius' tail..."

"Wipe those gawking expressions off your faces, please..." Sharley said a little weirded out as she smoked her pipe. "Anyway, you two want your fortune-telling told."

Juvia dashed over to the mermaid with an excited expression on her face. "Yes, Juvia wants to know if there's a future for my darling and me, please tell me!"

The Mako Mermaid sweatdropped at the sudden approach, but, she giggled. "I see... a young woman in love..." She looked directly at Gray. "My, he's quite a looker."

Hearing that made Juvia's excited expression fade and was replaced with a dark smile on her face. "You're not thinking of trying to steal my man, are you?"

Sharley just chuckled. "Relax miss, I was just saying, anyway...I'll look into my crystal ball..." She placed her hands over the crystal ball and closed her eyes.

The crystal ball then glowed purple.

Sharley's eyes abruptly opened surprising the two wizards as the light faded. "I don't see a future for you both being together..."

Juvia was disappointed while Gray didn't know what to think. "However..." The two wizards looked at the fortune teller who had a troubled look on her face. "I saw you both chained together, I don't know where, but, from what I was seeing, you both were in pain, there was another person, but, I didn't see their face, if I have to guess, you both will face a strong enemy."

Gray and Juvia were little concerned about this vision. "Anyway, I'm not sure when this will happen or where, however, I advise you both to be cautious."

The two wizards nodded. "Thank you..."

"Your welcome...have a good-" She abruptly stopped as her eyes widened and her face became red.

Juvia turned to where the mermaid was staring, only to see her crush stripping his clothes off leaving his boxers on only. "Gray, your clothes..."

"Oh man!" Gray yelled comically.

"You stripping pervert!" Sharley snapped still red and showed her sharp teeth causing her house to move around comically.

Nearby some fishmen and mermaids were walking by but stopped as they heard the racket.

Back at Mermaid Cove

Ishilly and a couple of her friends found a barrel.

Little did they know, someone was inside waiting for them.

"Let's get this open!"

"Yeah, there could be treasure or alcohol in there!"

"Cool..." Caribou said keeping quiet. "Hiding in this barrel was a good idea, these mermaids will be my ticket to richness."

M

Luffy and his friends called out to the citizens for help.

None of the Fishmen or merfolk were willing to help due to the law.

Seeing, no choice, Luffy, Aquapad, Natsu, Happy, Temukai, Usopp, and Chopper split up to find a donor while Lisanna kept an eye on Sanji.

Things were getting worse by the minute, so far, nobody still wouldn't help.

"Damn, there's gotta be someone that can help..." Chopper said panting, however, he caught a glimpse of two humans entering a pub. "Great!"

A short time later.

Camie went to her boss's house which belonged to Sharley.

Gray and Juvia reunited with Lisanna and the others, both the mages learned about Sanji's condition.

"So, this pervert's nose gushed blood like a geyser?" Gray questioned in surprise.

Juvia shared her crush's reaction. "Juvia never heard of something like that before,"

Lisanna began to rub her head. "Gee, I knew Sanji was weak to girls, but, this is different even Loki, Taurus, and any other male perverts in our world have never done something like this before."

Sanji then sat up half-awake. "Man, what happened?"

"Oh, you're awake," Chopper said in relief.

Camie was relieved as she wiped a tear from her eye. "We're here at one of my friend's houses."

"Talk about crazy, Fishman wouldn't donate their blood, they could've done so," Luffy said sighing.

"Yeah, we practically had to go all over the island to find a donor," Usopp added.

"Aquapad, why can't humans or Fishman donate their blood to each other?" Gray asked.

The Marlin Fishman had a look of pity. "It's like Hammond said, whenever a Fishman or merfolk donate their blood to a human, they would get punished for it."

"Yeah, that's completely cruel!" Happy protested.

Natsu gritted his teeth. "That stupid jerk Hammond, who does he think he is berating us like that?"

Lisanna agreed for once. "Yeah, he's got a nasty attitude." Then another thought occurred to her. "Wait, what about those three Fishman that tried to capture me?"

"Oh right, as I mentioned before, they usually would cause trouble for Mermaids when they lived on Fishman, they would try to capture one and molest them," Aquapad answered. "The royal family saw Saizou, Taron, and Jester as a threat to princess Shirahoshi, therefore the three were banished from Fishman Island."

"What happened after that?" Sanji asked looking disgusted.

"The three started causing havoc on the islands above..." Camie answered looking a bit scared. "When they couldn't get their hands on mermaids anymore, they decided to take their perverted nature to the surface whenever they got their hands on female humans."

Juvia felt a bit scared at the detail. "Juvia doesn't like perverts..."

Sanji gritted his teeth. "Those bastards treating women like if they're nothing but playthings, such perverts..."

"You're one to talk..." Natsu and Gray thought in sarcasm.

"Still, that means any female crew member of ours is in danger," Lisannsa said looking troubled. "I'm sure our friends can handle them, but, who knows what kind of dirty tricks they'll use to get us girls."

"Snort...snort...those perverts need butt-kicking..." Temukai spoke as air blew from his nostrils.

"If that's the case, how come the Navy didn't pursue them," Usopp asked.

Gray decided to answer that. "I think I know that answer to that..." The others looked in his direction. "While I was still a member of the navy, I looked up at the navy's history of previous pirates and criminals that they pursued and captured, that's when I saw old wanted posters of those three Fishmen."

"Yes, that was also a few years later after Arlong conquered the East Blue. Saizou, Taron, and Jester continued to cause trouble with their perverted nature towards human females, they must've found out that Arlong had a female human on his crew." Aquapad confirmed.

"Is that so, what happened next?" Happy asked.

"The navy kept on getting complaints and requests to take out the three perverted Fishmen, so, the navy ordered Jimbei to chase and capture them dead or alive..."

"Jimbei was ordered to capture them?" Chopper questioned.

"Right, Saizou, Jester, and Taron were last seen on an island that had some people even women, however..." Aquapad paused for a moment. "Someone or something caught up to them, the island was burned to the ground, Saizou or his friends weren't seen since so the navy assumed that the three were killed by unknown pirates therefore Jimbei's order to take them in was canceled."

Hearing that put some of Fairy Tail's wizards surprised, Lisanna had other thoughts.

"I wonder if Tartaros somehow met up with those three perverts and got to them... " She thought putting her hand under her chin. "If that's the case, did they rescue them, and if so, why?"

"Anyway, no point in worrying about that now," Usopp said as he looked at the Strawhat cook. "Sanji, how are you feeling?"

Sanji placed his hand on his head. "Not sure, I mean I feel a bit recovered, however, I don't remember what happened to me, but, when I try to remember everything is a big blur..."

That made the others nervous.

"Ah! Let it go already!" Luffy, Natsu, Happy, Temukai, and Usopp insisted with gaping mouths.

"They're right, you should be careful or you'll relapse again!" Chopper agreed.

"Geez, he's worse than Loki and Blue Pegasus," Gray groaned rubbing his head with his hand.

"Man, at this rate, he'll remember what happened for sure," Happy said.

Usopp had an idea. "Sanji, you forget to meet your donors, say "Hi and thank you"." He pulled back the curtains that were behind him.

"We hope you're okay handsome..."

"Yeah, if we don't take care of each other, who will?"

Sanji was hoping that his saviors were both beautiful girls, however to his horror, the two supposed girls were Newkama guys, Splatter and Splash.

Both wore nurse-like outfits and had freaky make-up on their faces.

"AAAHHHH!" Sanji exclaimed comically jumping out of bed.

"Geez, talk about gratitude," Usopp said.

Gray couldn't blame him, those guys were even stranger than master Bob of the Blue Pegasus Guild.

Chopper then noticed a small scratch on Luffy's arm. "Luffy, let me see your arm for a moment."

Gray, Juvia talked to Happy, Natsu, and Lisanna, learning about what happened at Mermaid Cove.

"Seriously, there's a rule about Fishman and Merfolk not being able to share their blood with ours?" Gray questioned.

"Yeah, not only that, Ham-snout was berating us too, telling us that it's our fault that Fishtiger is dead too," Happy answered loudly with an anime vein on his head.

Juvia didn't like that. "Juvia doesn't like this Conger Eel Fishman."

"Sounds like there was more to the history between humans and Fishmen," Gray said. "From what Aquapad told us, it sounds like his kind doesn't get the respect they deserve."

Natsu gritted his teeth. "Yeah, when I see that Hammond again...I'm going to kick his butt and make sure he knows that he can't mess with us or our friends."

"That won't solve it..." Lisanna said getting her childhood friend's attention. "I know how you feel, but, that's only going to cause more tension."

"Yeah, but, that jerk Hammond insulted you guys, I can't let him get away with that," Aquapad spoke. "As far as I'm concerned he got deserved to get his butt kicked."

Lisanna sighed as she gently took the Marlin Fishman's hand. "Aquapad, what he said was out of context, however, showing aggression isn't the answer."

The Marlin Fishman clenched his hands. "But...still...I...I can't let that stupid jerk insult you guys..."

Lisanna giggled which got the Fishman to look at her in confusion. "Lisanna...?"

"Well, my friends and I appreciate you for sticking up for us..."

Gray nodded. "I agree, you are proving that you are loyal to your friends."

Juvia smiled genuinely. "Yes, Juvia thinks that you're a good friend to Fairy Tail."

Natsu smiled brightly. "Yeah, you're alright, right Happy?"

"Aye!" The blue exceed replied with a smile.

Aquapad felt a little better after hearing that he smiled at his human friends. "Thanks, guys..." Lisanna smiled at him in return, but then the Marlin Fishman's face was glowing red. "Uhh...Lisanna..."

She realized she still had her hand on the Fishman's hand and her face became flustered with redness. "Oh, I'm...I'm so sorry!"

"She loves him~" Happy teased while holding back a laugh.

"Shut up Happy!" Aquapad yelled comically with a beet-red face.

Juvia was in awe. "Are they a couple?"

Gray noticed the expression on the blue-haired girl's face. "Juvia, don't start imaging anything right now."

A short time later.

Luffy, Natsu, Happy, Usopp, Aquapad, and Lisanna went to see Camie's boss Sharley.

Camie was talking with her boss about Sanji's condition and that he needs rest.

"I see, quite the strange prognosis, either way, I don't mind if he stays here," The Mako Mermaid replied.

"Right, thanks," Camie said.

"Yeah, it's a fish lady!"

"Really, no, she's a shark lady!"

Hearing the two comments from Natsu and Luffy was hard enough.

Camie sighed. "That was rude, mind your manners." Sharley wasn't amused either.

Lisanna was a little nervous. "Forgive them, please..." She bowed in apologetic.

"What is this?" Usopp was looking at a crystal ball.

"Ooh, shiny ball..." Luffy said observing the crystal ball closely.

"It's not a lacrima," Natsu added.

"It's something that neither of you three should touch," Natsu, Luffy, and Usopp turned around.

Camie saw what the three were looking at. "Oh, that's Sharley's crystal ball, with it, she can see the future and also have visions of what she predicts, that's the reason why she's so famous too."

Hearing that detail made Lisanna surprised. "So, she can see the future too, she's probably like Carla."

"Snort...snort...quite an interesting hobby," Temukai said with a goofy grin. "Too bad, that doesn't involve butt-kicking."

"Nice to see you again," Aquapad waved with a grin.

"Aquapad, I heard you returned safely, I'm glad to see you're safe," Sharley said with a smile. "I have to admit, I never thought of seeing a Mink on Fishman Island either."

"It's kind of a long story on how we met him and his friends," The Marlin Fishman said rubbing the back of his head.

"Can you still see the future?" Happy asked.

"I did have a vision of those two other friends of yours...however...I think you shouldn't know what I saw." Sharley replied as she blew some smoke out of her mouth. "The future isn't ours to know, right?"

"Fish lady, do mermaids poop?" Luffy asked with an oblivious look on his face.

Usopp doped slaps his captain's arm. "What does that have to do with fortune-telling?"

Hearing that made Sharley enraged. "Vulgar child!" She roared showing her sharp teeth.

"Scary!" Natsu and Happy jumped in fright while hugging each other.

Camie panicked as she quickly approached her friends. "Apologize now!"

Usopp bowed while forcing his captain to bow by placing his hand on the rubber boy's head. "Sorry..."

"Freaky..." Temukai added sweating comically.

"Man, Luffy does lack common sense," Lisanna thought sweatdropping.

"That moron..." Gray thought.

Juvia was a little shaken by the Mako Mermaid than before. "She's even scarier than Aquarius." Despite that, she and the blue mermaid did get along in the Celestial World.

Sharley sat back down after her outburst. "Anyway, Camie, I think you should take the day off, you've been working hard lately, and you give your friends a tour of the island."

Camie was surprised. "Oh, are you sure it's ok?"

The fortunate teller smiled. "Yes, besides since there aren't many humans around lately, the others should be able to handle things."

Camie then began to remember something. "Wait, I think I'm supposed to do something..." Her eyes began to pop out in realization. "That's right, Pappagu told me to deliver his clams, he'll freak out on me!"

"Don't worry, he's at the Mermaid Cafe, not only that, he's reunited with a friend of his along with some new people," Sharley replied.

"New people?" Natsu questioned tilting his head.

The crystal ball reflected Natsu and Luffy's reflection which began to glow lightly.

Outside of the ocean.

A huge splash was heard on the water.

Yukino has summoned the two large Celestial Spirit fish, she along with her guildmates were on one of them. "Man, that was crazy, but, it was a miracle you could use summon out Pisces," Rogue spoke.

"A little a while ago, I took one of the items that were given by the Pucci mayor's daughter, it seems this little coral was able to blow out air bubbles," Yukino replied holding a strange coral.

Sting was impressed. "These items are quite handy especially when you're deep in the ocean, though..." He paused which got his friend's attention. "That lacrima that came with those items, I wonder how something like that got into this world."

Rogue had to agree on that "That's right, this world doesn't have magic, so, what would a lacrima be here out of all places, how odd it is."

"I think so too," Frosch nodded.

"Anyway, we can deal with that later, our friends are sure to be on Fishman Island," Lector pointed out. "There is it."

"Pisces, let's go there!" Yukino commanded as her two large fish swam towards the island.

Luffy, Natsu, Happy, Usopp, Temukai, and Camie left Sharley's house.

Camie was in front of the others. "Guys, I didn't want to say while in front of Sharley, but, back in the day when she was little, she told me of a lot of stories that happened." She turned around to face the others looking troubled. "Back then humans came through Fishman Island...about a year before the Great Pirate Era began."

Luffy and his friends were surprised.

"Wait, where's Gray and Juvia?" Natsu questioned.

"Aquapad and Lisanna are gone too," Happy added.

"Oh, Gray and Juvia went off to find the others while Aquapad wants to find his childhood friends and Lisanna went with him too," Usopp replied. "Also, Chopper decided to stay behind to make sure Sanji recovers."

They continued through the town seeing different types of Fishman and Merfolk.

"What part of town is this?" Happy asked.

"Oh, it's Coral Hill's main street," Camie replied as she stopped. "That over is the primary entrance to the Mermaid Cafe."

Luffy, Natsu, Temukai, Usopp, and Happy were excited.

"I want some fishy..." Happy drooled.

"Man, I thought I was going to starve..." Natsu groaned yet he was relieved.

"Yeah, I'm hungry..." Luffy said sharing the same expression.

"Geez, you guys are alike..." Usopp sighed deeply.

Temukai was drooling too. "Snort...snort...me hungry for vegetables and protein."

"By the way, what food does this place have?" Usopp asked.

"Oh, we have cakes and fruit," Camie replied.

"What about meat?" Natsu and Luffy asked at the same time hopefully.

Camie turned away for a moment. "Well, we mermaids don't eat meat, but we have some shellfish, scallop sandwiches, and clam pizza."

Natsu and Luffy weren't impressed.

"That doesn't sound like meat!"

"Yeah, shells are meat either!"

Happy started to sulk. "No fishy...no fishy..."

Temukai was still drooling. "I love sweets and fruit!"

"Great another Chopper," Usopp said sweatdropping. "Anyway, let's get-go inside."

However the group could enter, Brook was coming out with two mermaids clinging onto him and on his shoulder was Pappagu. "

Gildarts followed behind with two mermaids clinging onto him too. "Gee ladies, one at a time."

Cana walked passed the two pervs. "Geez, they're such perverts."

"C'mon, we got the chance to eat, I admit the sweets were good," Mirajane said while walking by the card mage.

"I'm so manly from that food!" Elfman roared excitedly.

"Elfman, Mira, Gildarts, Cana!" Happy cried excitedly.

Natsu waved. "Hey, you guys!"

"Brook, you're okay!" Luffy said laughing in relief.

Brook noticed the group. "Oh, it's you guys, glad to see you're all safe." He noticed Camie. "Camie, you've grown into a lovely woman, can you show me your panties?"

"Mermaids don't wear that idiot!" Pappagu yelled kicking the skeleton's jaw.

The little fashion designer jumped into Luffy's hands. "I missed you guys, also, your new friends are something, Mirajane sang so well."

"That's right, her voice was so amazing, her tone was enough to bring tears to my eyes, then again, I don't have eyes anymore!" Brook joked laughing.

Natsu and Happy laughed.

"He's funny!"

"That's for sure!"

"Anyway, Natsu, where's Lisanna?" Elfman asked.

"Oh, she's with Aquapad she decided to accompany him to reunite with his childhood friends," The fire dragon slayer replied.

"Well, at least, she's safe with a friend," Elfman said with a smile.

"Also, Gray and Juvia went to look for the others, I'm sure they'll meet up with us later," Happy added.

"Temukai, glad you're okay too," Gildarts said with a grin.

"Same here old-timer." The Water Buffalo Mink spoke with a goofy grin.

After a while, they explained what happened on Mermaid Cove.

"I see, sounds like this Hammond hates humans badly," Gildarts said.

"That jerk Hammond, how dare he say such crap to our friends," Cana agreed.

"Not to mention that there was three Fishman that tried to capture Lisanna," Mira spoke in darkly tone.

Elfman shivered at the dark look his older sister was making. "So scary..."

"Now, there's a Wolf Mink Whaleshark Fishman, things are crazy than ever," Usopp said with a sigh.

Pappagu decided to explain where meat is found. "Here in the Mermaid Cafe, they don't have meat, but, Fishman does, it's not common."

Relieved to hear that detail, Natsu and Luffy were excited. "Finally, we can get some meat!"

"Yeah, yummy!"

"I hope they have raw fish..." Happy said drool dripping from his mouth.

"Oh, there's a taxi, over here!" Pappagu called out, and the taxi like fish stopped.

Brook was the first to climb the ladder that was attached to the fish, then something caught his attention, he jumped off and looked at the wall that had a wanted poster. "Vander Decken, so, he's wanted as well."

"That's right, Aquapad mentioned him before," Mira spoke.

Hearing this caught Pappagu's attention. "You guys saw him, that guy was a thief not to mention Shirahoshi's stalker,"

Sharley was walking through the town in another area. "Camie, you sure made a lot of friends even new ones."

Suddenly something appeared in her mind. "What is this..." She began to have a vision, first was Natsu. "It's that boy Natsu..."

Her vision showed her seeing Natsu in an unknown location where he was covered in a fire that was burning so intensely and his face had a menacing glare.

Then her vision changed, Luffy appeared in her head as Fishman Island was covered in flames.

Some Fishman and Merfolks saw the fortune teller's reaction. "Madame Sharley, what's wrong?"

"Natsu the fire dragon, he's in the area causing some damage using his firepower!"

"What?" Some citizens questioned in shock.

"Luffy, he'll...end up...destroying Fishman Island!" Sharley continued looking more panicked than ever.

At the Fishman Distract.

In another part of the area was a cave that was so massive from the inside.

"Hordy Jones just called a while ago, Fairy Tail has arrived with some new friends,"

Aquaus

"It seems so, it's been a year since I and the Nine Demon Gates fought those humans,"

Jackal

Syka

"Anyway, where are the other Demons?" Mard Geer asked.

"They're back at Earthland, rebuilding the old lab that Lamy had," Aquaus answered. "Anyway, I'm supposed to have a meeting with Hordy Jones, I'll leave you in charge Mard Geer, and wait for my orders."

The Underworld King smirked. "As you wish."

The demon siren walked through the darkness of the cave and opened a secret door that had a tunnel(that was similar to the tubes that Camie spoke of).

Luffy's group was able to finally find two donors for Sanji. Some of the members of Straw Hats and Fairy Tail are scattered in different parts of Fishman Island. After meeting Sharley the Fortune Teller she has two visions of Natsu and Luffy which she finds terrifying. In the Fishman District the Demons of Tartaros are in a secret cave, Aquaus goes to meet Hordy Jones, what will happen next that's anyone's guess.
