Chapter 49: Story of the Three Perverted Fishman
The Ammo Knights continued to follow Laxus and his group.
"Sir...shouldn't we confront them now?" One of the Ammon Knight asked the leader.
"You heard what the Fukaboshi said, we must approach them in the opening," The other reminded in a whispering. "Surely, they must be heading to find their friends that are still lurking in the town."
Laxus was still able to hear the quiet whispering. "Thanks...that's what I needed to know."
Fishman District "Noah"
Vander Decken glared at Saizou, Taron, and Jester.
"Whoa, those guys hate each other!"
"Are they going to fight?!"
"Ca-ca...boss, should we stop them?"
"Are you perverts here for my darling Shirahoshi?"
"So what if we are, Sander Dicky..." Jester replied with a sneer.
An anime vein appeared on Vander Decken's head. "It's Vander Decken you brat!"
Saizou smirked. "I see you haven't had any luck with Shirahoshi, that's perfect, once we invade the Ryugu Kingdom, I along with Taron and Jester will have the lovely Shirahoshi all to ourselves..."
"Yes, however, we do want to catch some of the female humans..." Taron spoke practically drooling with a creepy smirk.
"You perverts can play with every human female you want but Shirahoshi is off-limits do you hear me?!" Vander Decken barked.
"Like you can stop us old man," Saizou laughed cruelly.
Hearing that made the Japanese bullhead shark Fishman even angrier. "I ain't that old you-
"Enough!" Hordy Jones yelled. "This isn't the time for you four to have a screaming match!"
Zeo cleared his throat. "What the captain means to say is that Saizou, Taron, and Jester have informed us of their savior that gave us some useful details about the other pirate group that arrived on the island with the Strawhats."
"Hold on, I was told that these damn bastards died on the surface!" Vander Decken interrupted referring to the three Fishman perverts. "How is it that they're still alive?"
"I can answer that..." A feminine voice answered.
Aquaius was walking through the doorway of the room.
"Just who the hell are you?" Vander Decken asked.
"Vander Decken allow me to introduce to you, Aquaius the Demon Siren of the dark guild Tartaros..." Hordy Jones answered. "Also the one that saved Saizou, Taron, and Jester while they were out at sea."
"That's right, we'll explain our story, I believe it was 7 years later after Arlong conquered the East Blue..." Saizou began to say with a dark smile.
F
Seven years ago.
Saizou, Taron, and Jester were sailing on a ship with some other Fishman pirates as Aquaius explains the story.
"As you know we were banished from Fishman Island due to our molesting the mermaids of Fishman Island, but that was foolish of Neptune, because of his decision...we captured every human girl we could get our hands on..."
Young girls were being molested by Saizou, Taron, and Jester in different various ways as they screamed out of fear and pain.
"We had fun with each girl we captured, each one was an easy target, we also enjoyed doing our time with them in different parts of whatever place we found comforting..."

"I admit I don't like you guys hanging out with female humans, but, hearing how much pain and terror you put them through is fine with me," Hordy Jones said with a slight grin.
"Ca-ca...you guys sure have a way of making human females scream..." Daruma laughed.
"That doesn't explain how you bastards are still alive!" Vander Decken shouted.
B
Saizou, Taron, and Jester arrived on an unknown island that a lot of people but lack of security.
Soon houses were destroyed along with the citizens lying down on the ground dead.
"We eventually caught some women on the island, we planned to take over the island and play with any girl we can," The three had three human girls tied up to a pole and their clothes were torn off revealing some of their bodies and legs.
Just then members of Cipher Pol approached from the fire in a nearby house.
"We were ambushed by some strange humans that call themselves Cipher Pol, the World Government Secret Intelligent Agency...We fought hard, but, those humans were tougher than we thought...most of our men were wiped out..."
One even had a Zoan type devil fruit power, we thought we were going to die..until another one of those agents turned on the others."
The other CP agents including the one with the Zoan type devil fruit were overpowered by the traitorous Cipher Pol agent, who revealed to be Aquaius.
"We were taken to a secret cave that was hidden somewhere on the island, however, then later we were healed up, then Aquaius told who she was and where she came from..."
End of flashback
"After that, she trained us and shared with us what powers Cipher Pol uses," Saizou concluded. "So, we have gotten even stronger, but, we'll show you all what new moves we learned when the time comes."
"Though one day she was called on a mission so she left, however, she put us in some life support chambers that put us in a sleep mode for a while, then we woke up and find out about the war that happened at Marineford and that the island's protector is no more," Taron added.
"Before she left us she told us she would return, however, from the look on how many years passed while we were sleeping including that we woke up a year that passed after the war, now we find out she never came back," Jester said looking puzzled.
"About that..." Aquaius said with a venomous tone. "Like I said I was called back to Tartaros for a mission."
"This sounds interesting..." A Fishman pirate grunt whispered to another.
"I eventually returned to the Tartaros guild...then later was given a mission...which was to kill some humans that had some secrets about the former chairman of the magic council... but I was later ambushed by a human named Silver Fullbuster, he attempted to slay me using his Ice Demon Slayer magic, however, using the Shave technique I was able to flee, however, I was severely injured and was placed in a life support chamber hidden deep underground below the Tartaros Guild."
"The same that you put Saizou, Taron, and Jester in?" A Fishman pirate grunt asked.
"That's correct, not only that, I gained another curse power which is Absorption and the one that had this power was Franmalth one of the Nine Demon Gates some of the other Demons possess two curse powers..." She paused for a moment as her teeth showed and had a sneer on her face. "However, a few that possessed two curses were defeated by Fairy Tail wizards..."
"Where are the other Demons you came here with?" Zeo asked.
"They're in the secret cave that's on the other side of the Fishman District," The Demon Siren replied. "They're getting ready to have the battle with Fairy Tail."
Hordy Jones chuckled evilly. "That's an impressive story, but, right now, let's get down to business."
M
Zoro along with Erza, Kagura, and Usagi managed to rescue their friends, Nami uses a coral to make the entire entrance hall breathable.
Neptune attempts to continue the fight only to be defeated.
The Fishman palace guards were overpowered while some were tied up with the Minister of the Right and Left.
"C'mon Zoro, you didn't have to be so rough!" Brook lectured.
"In case you morons forgot you started this fight!" Zoro defended.
"Man, this is crazy when my friends and I opposed the magic council's soldiers," Lucy facepalmed.
Makarov was bawling his eyes out comically. "Damn, can't I ever get a break!"
"There...there..." Erza said patting the old man in comfort.
"Snort...snort...maybe I got a little rough," Temukai said scratching his cheek with his finger.
"I had to give up shopping..." Nami sighed.
"We should've just ran and escaped when we had the chance!" Usopp argued.
"Which wouldn't have worked since I don't know where the exit is and that Luffy along with Natsu is still missing!" Zoro disagreed.
"Not only that, Wendy and Carla are missing too!" Mest added.
Nami approached a few of the Fishman palace guards. "I have a favor to ask..."
"Maybe he can tell us where Luffy, Natsu, or Wendy is," Usopp guessed.
The navigator placed her hand on one of the Fishman palace guard's faces. "Tell me where the treasure vault is."
"Cut it out..." Usopp whispered.
Nami turned around with a fake innocent look. "What did I do?"
The pirate sniper wasn't going to fall for that act. "Don't play innocent with me, you don't think I know how your greedy brain works!?"
"I guess we did get a little rough," Leone said feeling the guard's pulse which was responding. "Oh well, at least they're alive."
Akame didn't say a word.
Cana groaned in annoyance. "Ugh...I need a drink."
Nami looked at her log pose. "Geez, the log pose was going crazy ever since we got here."
The Minister of the Left heard that. "You got to be kidding me, if you think only one log pose is going to get you through the New World then you're even dumber than you look."
"Says the one that didn't try to destroy the bubble when he and his army had the chance," Kagura remarked.
"What was that young lady?!" The catfish merman asked taking offense to that remark.
"Hold on, you know something about my log pose old man?" Nami questioned.
"I ain't telling you anything until you tie me and the others!" The catfish merman replied turning his head away.
"If only my back didn't give out," Neptune said seemingly ashamed. "I guess I'm not as young as I used to be."
"Hey, you pirates must know that Fukaboshi and the two remaining princes will be here!" The Minister of the Right proclaimed. "Once they do all of you will be taken in custody!"
Ding Dong Ding Dong
"That must be them!" Neptune thought.
In the corridor were the three princes.
"Quite odd, the guards aren't responding sooner than they usually do," Fukaboshi replied.
Click
"Who is this and what do you want?" Zoro's voice answered.
"What are you doing?" Usopp and Lucy asked in a panic tone.
"Prince Fukaboshi! Help us!" The Minister of the Right and Left screamed.
"Everybody shut up!" Zoro demanded.
"We've been captured!"
This caused Manboshi and Ryuboshi to panic.
"Oh no...some kind of incident seems to be afoot-la-ti-do!"
"Sounds like they're in trouble but I didn't father or Shirhoshi!"
Fukaboshi decided to answer. "It's me Fukaboshi, I request for the corridor to be open at once."
"Sorry but we can't do that," Zoro answered quickly.
"GAHHH! What are saying now?!" Usopp exclaimed.
"Why is this happening?" Makarov wailed.
"We got idiots that have no brains," Lucy whispered while facepalming.
"Could you guys tie me and Camie up so that we're treated as accomplices?" Pappagu whispered.
"Zoro-chan is scary," Camie commented.
Fukaboshi could guess he was speaking to a pirate. "Am I speaking with one of the Straw Hat Pirates?"
"Yes! That man you're speaking with is the three-sword-wielding warrior of the Straw Hat Pirates...Pirate Hunter Zori!"
"It's Zoro!" Zoro barked with shark teeth but he regained his composure. "Anyway, you heard right, your father along with the palace guards are hostages, if you want them back alive, you'd better start looking for our friends including our ships, and full coat them too, though the rest of our crew is on the island somewhere."
"Go on..." Fukaboshi said.
"One creepy lady, second is a robot, raccoon dog, and pervy goblin... I request that you find them as well."
"Don't forget the one billion berries either," Nami whispered.
"Stop that already..." Usopp said.
"Pervy goblin, that's a good one," Brook said choking back a laugh.
"You're not helping..." Lucy whispered with an annoyed tone.
Erza had an idea as well. "Excuse me, let me know to speak to the prince..." She requested.
Zoro nodded and gave her the receiver. "Excuse me... this Erza Scarlet member of the Fairy Tail Pirates."
Fukaboshi heard this. "Yes, I assume that you're that captain?"
"You might say that, anyway, I would like you to find some of the members of Fairy Tail, I assume you got pictures of them, right?" Erza asked.
"That's right, some of the citizens even saw your friends, and a group was spotted on the ocean outside the island..." The prince replied.
"I see, can you message them that we're fine and that we need to start the investigation..."
The royal family and the palace guards were confused. "Investigation for what?"
"I know you have questions for me, but, I can't answer them now, but, my friends won't hurt anyone on the island, just make sure they're safe and we'll leave you all alone," Erza continued.
Fukaboshi gave this some deep thought for a moment. "Very well...we will do what you both pirate groups will say, in return I want you guys to return the hostages unharmed!"
"I can be assured we'll keep our word on that," Erza said with honesty.
Zoro took the transponder snail and was about to hang up until... "One more thing, I have a message to give to Strawhat Luffy, normally I wouldn't share this info giving the circumstances, but regardless I shall."
"I'm listening..." Zoro said putting the receiver back in his hand.
"It's a message from the First Son of the Sea and former Warlord Jimbei..."
The royal subjects and palace guards were surprised at this new information.
"How do they know Jimbei?" The Minister of the Right asked.
"Hey, Luffy mentioned that this Jimbei is his friend," Usopp said.
"Despite being a pirate, he's considered a hero and has a lot of respect for this island," Camie added.
"Unfortunately Luffy isn't here at the moment but I'll place the message onto him," Zoro replied.
"You would have my thanks... the first message is "Don't fight Hordy" and for the second "I will be waiting in the Sea Forest"," Fukaboshi said. "That is all..."
Zoro hung up and was wondering what the message was about. "Don't fight Hordy, what does that mean?"
Fishman Island, Coral Hill
"Did you hear the rumor?!"
"The Straw hat and Fairy Tail pirates at least some of them have taken over the royal palace!"
"What?"
"That can't be so, they were such people..." Hiramera said in disbelief.
The Medaka Mermaid Quintuplets shared the same reaction.
"I can't believe they do that!" Sanka said.
"I could believe they do that!" Yonka added.
"Who cares if they did," Yonka Two concluded.
Citizens were speaking about the situation.
"I bet they kidnapped those mermaids from the cove..."
"It's like Sharley's vision, it's coming true..."
"What about Aquapad, he was traveling with the Fairy Tail Pirates, I even heard he was saved by some and was working at an island called Water 7 and he became friends with the humans there too."
"Either way, I heard that two members of Straw Hat Pirates were hiding behind the Mermaid Cafe..."
Bang
"AAAGH!"
Chopper came bursting out of Sharley's house. "Kung-Fu Point!"
Yah! Yah! Hyah!"
He delivered Kung-Fu attacks on some of the Ammo Knights. "Whew...Sanji needs quiet time, so I can't let you guys touch him!"
He continued to take down more of the Ammo Knights. "You were all planning to take us to the Ryugu Palace... I can't let that happen."
Hey...what is going on?" Sanji was coming out of the house with his hands in his pockets.
"Whoa, you shouldn't be up," Chopper said a little surprised.
Sanji approached one of the falling Ammo Knights and placed his foot on its shoulder.
Luffy's group
Shirahoshi was still pondering about leaving the tower. "I want to go, but I can't..."
"Why not?" Luffy asked.
"It would cause problems for the islanders but not just them my family including..." Shirahoshi answered.
"C'mon, you shouldn't be stuck here forever..." Natsu said. "I mean I would go crazy if I was stuck in a tower for ten years."
Wendy had to agree. "That's right, so, if you want to go somewhere, we can take ya."
"Child, you shouldn't put pressure on this poor girl," Carla scolded though she knew her words weren't going to get through to her including Luffy and Natsu.
Shirahoshi felt a glimpse of hope and tried to speak out. "The...the...the..." She hesitated to answer. "The sea forest..."
"Sea Forest?" Carla thought.
The mermaid princess was on the verge of crying again. "Sorry, I suppose it's a foolish dream, just forget about what I want."
"What are you talking about?" Luffy asked sounding impatient.
"I'm sorry it took all the courage to say where I want to go..." She began to cry again. "I'm so sorry, please don't yell at me again!"
Natsu sighed deeply in annoyance. "Man, this chick cries a lot."
"Aye..." Happy agreed.
"Give her a break you two," Carla scolded.
CRASH CRASH CRASH
"What was that?" Luffy questioned.
CRASH CRASH CRASH
"Sounds something is hitting the tower!" Natsu answered.
"Yes, I can hear it too!" Wendy added.
"I have a bad feeling..." Happy said.
Back at the Palace entrance, everyone heard this racket too.
"What the hell is that racket?" Mest asked.
"Sounds like something is hitting the palace," Akame presumed.
Neptune grew more worried. "Of all time... are there any palace guards at the tower?"
"Unfortunately all of us are here siree," One of the guards answered.
"Listen up pirates, I want you all to check on the princess at once!" Neptune requested.
One of the palace guards didn't like that idea. "Your majesty, we can't trust them with her safety."
"I know, but, there isn't any choice," Neptune disagreed as he looked at the pirate groups. "Shell Tower is at the northeastern edge of the palace! Hurry up now!"
Zoro crossed his arms. "You know we don't take orders from hostages."
"Shirahoshi is the only daughter I have and if you all refuse my request I shall hunt all of you down to the ends of the ocean!" Neptune yelled in a demanding tone.
"He's scary..." Lucy said shivering at the king's outburst. "Then again, I can't blame him."
Brook couldn't refuse this opportunity. "Allow me to be a service to your eminent majesty!"
"I'll go too," Kagura offered. "As a member of Mermaid Heel, I shall make sure that life of the princess is in good hands."
Erza remembered that when she wanted to protect Yukino.
"Skeleton and Miss Kagura!" The Minister of the Left called out and the two stopped. "I do not ask you both to untie me but let me escort you both to the tower, it's my responsibility to make sure she's safe as well!"
Brook stared at the seahorse merman's determination.
Kagura didn't say a word but she acknowledged the minister's words.
Brook then picked up the seahorse merman. "You like her, don't you?"
"P-preposterous!" The Minister of the Left denied it with his eyes popping out.
"Such insolence!" The Minister of the Right exclaimed in disgust.
"Sorry, Sanji but it looks like I get to see her first!" Brook stated joyfully.
"Pervert..." Kagura thought following the skeleton.
Shirahoshi then began to question the five.
"Natsu, Wendy, Happy, Luffy, and Carla...I know this might be a burden to you but I dreamed of going to the sea forest..." She said.
"Did you ask your family to take you to the sea forest?" Wendy asked.
"I would many times but they told me it was dangerous," The mermaid princess replied sadly.
"Let me guess that reason is Vander Decken, which you mentioned about his devil fruit power," Natsu presumed.
"Yes, anyway, will you five be willing to protect me despite whatever dangers you might face?" Shirahoshi asked carefully.
"Yes..." Luffy said a little annoyed.
She then looked at the white exceed. "Your name, Carla right?" The white cat nodded. "If you think it's too dangerous for Wendy, then she can-"
"No..." Wendy spoke getting the mermaid to pause. "I know the dangers, I've been through a lot of tough battles as far as I can remember, but, I'm not some scared little girl." Then a smile appeared on her face. "Shirahoshi, allow me and Carla to help you to the sea forest."
"She's right, besides, I want to come along too," Natsu said with a bright smile.
"Aye!" Happy agreed.
"That's right, we'll protect you!" Luffy assured.
Hearing that made Shirahoshi a bit happy but she soon found herself on the verge of tears again. "Wahhh...wahh..." She sobbed.
"Whoa, if you continue crying then it's no deal," Luffy said not liking the waterworks.
"Don't pressure her young man!" Carla scolded.
Wendy put her arm out in front of her partner and shook her head.
Shirahoshi wiped her tears away. "I'm sorry, I just feel so happy that I can get to go to the sea forest after ten whole years."
"Isn't there anything that doesn't make you cry?" Luffy questioned. "Well, anyway, I must tell you that I can swim, also, if we leave this place, everyone recognizes you."
Wendy's face showed realization. "Wait, he's right, she'll be spotted easily too!"
"I agree, so, that'll be a problem," Shirahoshi agreed.
"No it won't...because I have an idea," Luffy said confidently with a small chuckle and his eyes looked directly at Megalo, who was now puzzled.
Just then the two dragon slayers caught a whiff of something outside the tower. "That scent... its blood..." They thought as they glanced towards the large doors.
"Something wrong?" Carla asked noticing the concerned looks.
"It's nothing, but anyway, what is the plan Luffy?" Natsu asked.
Brook, The Minister of the Right, and Kagura were walking through the hallway that led to the tower.
"Skeleton, miss Kagura, the tower up is ahead!" The Minister of the Right pointed out.
The three stopped abruptly seeing a disturbing sight.
There stood several bodies of the human pirates that were lying down next to the tower's doors while one had his head stuck in the wall.
"This is worst than I feared..." The Minister of the Right spoke with a tremble in his voice. "Usual Vander Decken throws weapons at the tower, but, this is something I never expected."
Kagura was disgusted at the scene. "Vander Decken is a fiend..."
Brook then noticed something else. "Uhh, you two we got a problem now."
The human pirates began to stand up despite their injuries. "Oh no, they're still alive!" Brook exclaimed.
"No...the royal family and our friends are in danger!" The Minister of the Right added in great concern.
Luffy, Natsu, Happy, Carla, and Wendy got on top of Megalo's back.
"You ready crybaby?" Luffy asked.
"Yeah..." Shirahoshi was inside the mouth of her pet shark.
"This is weird," Carla sweatdropped.
The wounded pirates approached the door only for it to burst open by Megalo which knocked the pirates away.
Minister of the Right and Brook were in awe of what they were seeing.
"It's that shark..." Kagura thought.
"Let's go breakthrough!" Luffy ordered.
"Yeah, Happy, this is going to be fun!" Natsu shouted excitedly.
"Aye, sir!" Happy cheered.
"Whee~!" Wendy said putting her arms out.
"Whoa!" Carla yelped in surprise.
Each of them was covered in a bubble suit.
"Megalo?" The Minister of the Right questioned in surprise.
"Luffy, Natsu, Wendy, Carla, this is where you guys have been?" Brook thought.
Kagura was relieved but for a different reason. "Natsu and Happy I'm glad you found my little sister."
"Off to the sea forest!" Luffy, Natsu, Happy, and Wendy proclaimed.
With Luffy, Natsu, Happy, Wendy, and Carla leaving the palace with Megalo and Shirahoshi to the sea forest things are about to get crazy. Aquaius explained her connections with Saizou, Taron, and Jester, now, the question is what will happen next?
