Chapter 58: The Dragon's Conqueror's Spirit
Earlier ago
Laxus along with Gajeel's group reunited with Wendy, Carla, Millianna, Yukino, and Pango.
They explained the situation and what Natsu's group was up to.
"I see, so while they are rescuing Lucy, Cana, and Hiramera, we can go rescue the others in the palace!" Laxus summarized.
"Sounds like a plan, but, where Jimbei and the others?" Freed asked.
"That's for later, anyway, I think I have a solution to get us up there," Yukino took out her Golden key with the dark serpentine figure that was spiraling around the blade of the key. "Open Gate of the Snake Charmer: Ophiuchus!"
A giant mechanical snake appeared.
"Now for the coating!" Yukino took out the bubble coral and used it to create a bubble to surround the snake.
The snake saw the bubble. "Listen Ophiuchus, I'll going to cover your body with the bubble, then use to float to where that gate is up there and we'll be riding on your back!" She pointed at the gate that was high in the air. "
Ophiuchus made a hiss like sound which meant it understood.
"Where'd that snake come from!?" A Fishman citizen exclaimed in awe.
"Eek a giant snake!" A mermaid screamed comically.
"Let's do this quickly before we fright the people even more!" Bickslow yelled comically.
"I think we already did!" Carla barked.
"Can we get a break for once?" Chelsea sweatdropped.
Present
Natsu's group went inside and walked down a dark hallway that candles that gave some light.
"Geez, this is creepy," Juvia shuddered.
"Miyaka, do you sense anything?" Gray asked.
"I sense some faint aura down there, though, we must be careful, these walls could set off traps," His marine partner replied.
"Fujika, can you sense the same thing?" Natsu asked.
"Yes, though, I feel dark presences, like someone was down here just a while ago," The former Kuja pirate replied.
Natsu took a whiff the air. "Yes, it must be those three Fishmen, they must've walked down here not to long..." His scent caught a familiar one. "That perfume, booze smell, and the sea water, that must be the scent of our friends!"
They ran further into the dark hallway.
After Luffy punched Hordy Jones, Jimbei ordered the others to come out.
Nami manages to get the petition that the queen got from the Celestial Dragons.
Robin was able to snatch away the keys and use them to set the king and his sons free.
Franky took aim with the Sunny's Gaon Cannon. "FIRE!" He blasted the cannon unleashed beam of blue energy which blew away large number of the Fishman pirate grunts.
"Mest get the royal family out of here now!" Jimbei ordered.
"Right!" The former council member appeared out nowhere. "You guys will be safe!" He teleported the injured royal family on the other side of the plaza.
"Mest, I'm in your debt," Neptune bowed his head in gratitude.
Fukaboshi was baffled of what happened.
The former council member smiled. "Don't mention it, I was doing what had to be done, other than that, your friend Jimbei offered to save us."
Fukaboshi was baffled of what happened. "Excuse me, how did you-" He felt a hand placed on his shoulder which belonged to his father. "Son, it's not time to ask, for now, all of us should rest a bit and then later, we'll fight again."
"What will you do now?" Manboshi asked.
"I have one more favor to ask," Mest said.
The Sunny landed in the center of the plaza.
"Geez, an entire army is here, talk about nuts," Usopp said a little nervous.
"This should be fun," Gajeel said doing his trademark laugh.
"I say this fight is about to get interesting," Freed said narrowing his eyes.
"Haha...we're going to kick some ass, right babies!" Bickslow laughed in a creepy tone.
"Kick ass kick ass!" The dolls chatted creepily.
Leone laughed. "Yeah, let's kick some major ass!"
"Gee, watch your languege!" Carla scolded the two.
Akame didn't say a word.
Chelsea took out her lollipop. "Well, I should've expected to see an army like this."
Lily had his arms crossed. "Quite the army here, probably big than Tartaros once had."
Gajeel scoffed. "These guys don't look tough, then again, their officers do, which means this will be good."
"I wish Jet and Troy were here though," Levy said with a slight smile. "Oh well, I'll do what I can to help!"
Evergreen fixed her glasses. "Time for some punishment."
Elfman grinned. "Time to show these guys some manly power!"
Lisanna smiled. "Yeah, show them the power of Fairy Tail."
Mirajane had her usual smile. "Right."
Laxus stood calm not even phased at the army. "Nothing compared to the empire where Night Raid is from."
Gildarts was angry. "To think my daughter is about to being played with by such perverted creatures, I'm really angry."
"Gildarts, calm down, Natsu and his team are on their way to rescue her and the others that were captured," Makarov assured. "Anyway, looks like we got a battle here, a good warm for our future battle against the Alvarez Empire."
Erza smiled at the sight. "This should help us and we can learn a lot by watching our new friends battle style."
Kagura glared at the new Fishman Pirates. "If these bastards think they can push us around they'd better think again."
Usagi had his arms crossed. "I never fought against Fishman before, so, this be an experience."
"Snort...snort...let's fight and show them some Mink power," Temukai said blowing air out of his nostrils.
"Heh...heh..yeah, let's kick some butt," Pango said with a goofy smile.
"Either way, how many of these Fishman pirates are out there?" Tigress questioned.
"Looks like 80,000 guys are here, no, 100,000 to be exact," Sanji summarized.
"No matter, we'll just kick every one of their asses," Franky commented.
"Anyway, Natsu's team will show up once they rescue the others, Mest will be on his way to the Fishman District using Neptune's whale just in case something goes wrong," Erza informed.
"Too bad, I was hoping to cross paths with Mard Geer again," Sting shrugged.
"At least, we have a fight we can enjoy here," Rogue said.
"Good thing, we'll get the show these pirates the power of Sabortooth!" Lector declared.
"Yeah!" Frosch cheered.
"I hope Lucy is okay," Yukino said to herself.
The entire gang began to walk towards each other, the citizens saw their chance to get some answers.
"Straw Hat Luffy, are you planning to destroy Fishman Island!"
"Fairy Tail Pirates, do you plan to aid Straw hat too?!"
"Also, did you kidnap the mermaids too!?"
"Who is that Mard Geer guy, is he really a Demon!?"
"Yeah, what is a Tartaros?!"
No answer was giving to them.
"C'mon, are you pirates suppose to be friends or enemies?!"
Luffy turned around putting his hand at the front of his hat. "Friends or enemies...don't ask me," He then . "That's something for you decide."
"To think things would go this way, but, thanks to Carla's advice, we manage to get over here and save the others," Robin said.
"Yes, indeed, though, Luffy was being hard-headed as usual," Jimbei sighed.
Flashback
Carla began to say her piece. "Listen you two idiots, I know things are intense right now, but, this isn't the time to be bickering with each other, so, I have an idea, Jimbei, you said that Fishmen should solve things here with the same race, however, I think there might be a way to solve this."
"What do you mean?" Jimbei asked.
"I mean, that we should work together, I also recall you're quite the big shot around here, secondly you were usual called 'Boss' around here, so, our kinds should work together to stop this invasion!"
"Yes, I agree," Jimbei agreed as he looked at the Straw Hat. "Luffy, how do you describe the relationship between us, that includes you too Fairy Tail."
"We're friends," Luffy answered.
"Aquapad is our friend that includes his own childhood friends," Natsu followed.
"Right, although it's a simple matter for us, our kind has always tried to form friendly relationships with each other for decades, on top of that, I left that message to you Luffy so that you wouldn't lash out recklessly," Jimbei continued.
"He's right," Carla agreed. "That includes us, we always fought against our enemies recklessly, however, things are different here, we can't just go and fight against Hordy Jones without a reason, if we do that, we're be seen ashumans bulling the Fishman species."
"Exactly what I was thinking, so, all of you should be heroes to this island," Jimbei followed.
"Heroes...no way!" Luffy pouted.
"Why not?!" Jimbei asked completely shocked.
The others were wondering the same thing.
"We're pirates, I like heroes but, being one is a pain," Luffy said with a shrug. "Honestly, do you know want a hero is, a hero is when someone has a share meat with someone, but, I want it all for myself!"
Jimbei blinked for a moment at Luffy's definition.
"What a reason," Nami said sarcastically.
"He's a strange one," Rogue commented.
"He's even dumber than Natsu," Gray thought.
Jimbei didn't understand the definition that Luffy was going on about but he went along with it. "Fine, if you want the meat, then I'll give it you to!"
"What about you guys, will you help out?" The former warlord asked the Earthland wizards.
Before the others could answer that Natsu interrupted. "Fairy Tail doesn't do anything for free, though, if you award us with big feast, then we call it even,"
Gray facepalmed. "I stand corrected, he and Luffy are both dumb."
"Alright fine, here's the plan, Natsu's team will rescue the others that captured by Tartaros one you complete make your way to the plaza!" Jimbei explained.
Natsu grinned. "Got ya."
"Luffy's group will hiding in Megalo's stomach and lastly Yukino, your group will head to the palace though if you're lucky to reunite with remaining friends of yours in the town, explain the situation and rescue our captured friends and then that's when the others that are on the Sunny will arrive, how will you rescue them..well, you figure that out yourselves," Jimbei finished.
"Be specific!" Sanji barked comically.
"At any rate, the others are sure to be the cages, so, what about our ship?" Carla asked glancing at the Water Fairy.
"It can stay here for now, Den still needs to be it's coating on, after all, we need only one boat, surely the Straw Hats can give us a lift, if that's okay with you Luffy?" Lector asked.
"Sure thing," Luffy replied simply.
"That didn't take too long!" Gray exclaimed comically.
"So, it's settled, Natsu's group will rescue the others from Tartaros' clutches. Secondly, Yukino's group will go to the town if they find any of your remaining friends then bring to the palace. Third, the others will ride along on the Sunny assisting the rescue the others at the palace and meet us at the plaza, and finally, Luffy and Sting's team group will remain hidden in Megalo's stomach until I give the signal!" Jimbei reminding the plan. "So, Luffy, it's your call, what is your choice?"
Luffy looked all pouty about it, but, he decided go along with it. "Fine, but, I'm only doing this because you asked me Jimbei!"
"He's more of child than Natsu," Carla and Gray said in unison with their eyes foreshadowed.
"Hey stop picking on me!" Natsu whined offended by the remark.
"Anyway, it's settle, let's do this!" Jimbei stated then he paused for a moment. "What is our code name?"
"Are you kidding!?" Sanji and Carla snapped comically with shark teeth.
"Let's go already!" Luffy whined impatiently.
"What a whiner," Millianna whispered.
End of Flashback
Jimbei looked around the plaza. "Natsu, Aquapad, your group must make it back safely."
Pappagu jumped into Luffy's hands. "Hey Straw Hat!"
"You're okay, glad you're safe!" The Straw Hat captain said. "Bet you guys made it out easily!"
Pappagu pointed his star like hand to Usopp and Zoro. "No way, those two almost killed me!"
"Don't you mean us, Moss man over here cut the tower into slices!" Chelsea yelled comically.
"Oh Chelsea, I know Zoro can be such a meat head most of the times!" Sanji swooned towards the Gaea Foundation user.
Bonk
Leone delivered a punch the cook's head. "Pervert."
"Yeah, don't be a pig!" Millianna barked comically.
The outskirts of the Conchcorde Plaza
"It's Straw Hat, he's on our side now!" A fish boy cheered.
"Alright, Fairy Tail is our side too!"
"Those Minks seem to be too!"
Zeo just laughed. "So sweet that the citizens cling but you only delayed the King's demise, all of you are nothing but humans!"
Brook approached the mermaid princess. "So, you're the mermaid princess Shirahoshi, such beauty and a pleasure to meet you."
The mermaid princess was a little puzzled seeing the talking skeleton. "Also, can you show me your panties?"
Bonk
"You can't ask her that!" Nami whispered in a digusted tone.
"Then show me yours..." Brook said whispered back.
"NO WAY IN HELL!" Nami barked comically with shark teeth clobbering the perverted skeleton again.
Leone grinned at the mermaid. "Quite the princess you are..." The mermaid look at the former assassin. "You look tensed up, perhaps after this is over, I can give you a massage."
Akame pulled the blonde assassin by the ear. "Now's not the time."
Cana chuckled with a big smile. "Quite the young lady, no doubt your beauty will bring a man to you."
Makarov was amazed. "She's beautiful...such a pretty a little face she has."
"Makarov..." A demonic tone said which belonged to Mirajane. "Don't even think of trying anything."
"Aw man..." The small old man groaned in disappointment.
Wendy was in a sullen state. "Her boobs are bigger than Erza and others...so...why do I feel so down?"
"Snap out of it child!" Carla exclaimed.
"She's a manly mermaid!" Elfman roared out.
Whack
The large muscle man glanced to see Evergreen with paper fan her hand and her glasses were glowing. "What the hell was that for!?"
"That was for being a pervert and saying "man" you idiot!" Evergreen scolded as she continued to whack the white haired man comically.
Lisanna and Mirajane giggled at the comical scene between their brother and the female thunder legion wizard.
"I hope Natsu and the others are okay, Aquapad...I hope he's doing fine too," Lisanna said quietly.
"I'm sure they'll fine, all we do now is focus on the battle here." Mira said with a smile.
Kagura was impressed at the height of mermaid princess. "So, she's the mermaid princess Shirahoshi, quite tall she is."
"Meow, she would make an excellent wizard for Mermaid Heel," Milianna added.
"Looks like everyone's here expect for Natsu's team, oh well, they'll be here soon," Luffy said simply.
"They're all ignoring you!" Daruma exclaimed in surprise.
Zeo growled in frustration. "Argh...that was only because I was using my inside voice!"
Usopp and Zoro then explained of what happened.
Pappagu was found by Brook in his soul form, though, after a few minutes of chasing, the star fish realized who the ghost was and learning the situtation.
Lisanna along with Gajeel and Laxus' group were reunited with the two and made to the room where the others were locked in.
"Zoro catch!" Pappagu tossed one of the swords to the green-haired man.
Lisanna in her mermaid form handed over the keys that unlocked the magic seal handcuffs which were held in the room where the broadcast was being held.
Erza and Zoro cut the cages that they were trapped.
Usagi was given his sword and cut the bars down releasing him and the others that were trapped with him.
"Alright, now what?" Usopp asked.
"Three Sword Style..."
"Wait!" Erza, Usagi, and Makarov panicked comically.
Too late the pirate hunter swordsman cut the entire tower down in several parts which flooded more.
Seeing their chance they escaped, though the water was too much including the current.
Lisanna held both Elfman and Mirajane, then they got the bubble corals and coated their heads with a bubble. "Now, I'll give this to the others-"
The current was too strong that the bubble coral was quickly caught and went straight out her hands. "No!" She thought.
Levy attempted to her use magic. "The current...is too strong...I can't even move my hands or feet properly!"
Yukino couldn't call back Celestial Spirit Pices because she could barely speak through the water.
"Crap, we're not going to last much longer," Usopp choked.
Then a light was shining above them and there came the Sunny.
"You guys are still in piece!" Franky said with a grin.
"Yohohohoh, that was fun," Brook laughed.
"Yes, to think, Yukino could summon out a mechnical snake!" Usopp exclaimed.
"Wow, is that true, Ms. Yukino?" Franky asked really intrigued.
"Uhh..." Yukino began to say a little embarrassed at the attention she was getting. "Yes, it's true, though, I had to call it back and that's when I summon out the Pair of Fish: Pisces once we got to the gate, at first that is,"
"Anyway, here Shirahoshi," Nami handed out the signature. "It's your mom's letter."
The princess was delighted to have it back. "This letter means everything to me."
"That's enough, Weepy-hoshi, it's not safe here," Luffy warned.
"He's right, you must leave the plaza and reunite with your family," Jimbei agreed.
However, Shirahoshi realized the name that she given by Luffy. "Wait, Luffy, what'd you call me?"
The Straw Hat pirate tilt his head in confusion as the mermaid continued. "You almost said my full name."
A smile formed on Luffy's face. "Yeah about that, I was wrong about you, you're stronger than I thought you were, though you're a wuss, so, I'll just call you weepy-hoshi, it's an upgrade."
"You see, when a person feels like they've been wrong they succumb to hate like that man Hordy Jones," Robin said seeing the Fishman get back on his feet.
"She's right and you chose not to hate, a coward wouldn't do that, hardships have only made you stronger," Nami agreed.
"They're right, you're more stronger than you think, Jimbei never lost faith and he's here because he's a true man too," Leone added.
Jimbei felt a little embarrassed but hid it.
"That's right, you're a manly woman Shirahoshi!" Elfman praised with a huge grin.
"You have a pure heart, no doubt, our first guildmaster Mavis would think so too," Mirajane said with a smile.
"Your heart strong as iron and if keeping a secret was illegal I wouldn't arrest ya," Gajeel commented.
Gildarts, Usopp, Chelsea, Chopper, and Bickslow looked at him with blank stares which got the iron dragon slayer's attention. "Stop with the blank stares would ya!"
"Snort...snort...you got strong heart princess..." Temukai said with a gentle smile.
"Yes, you truly are like your late mother and from we were told, she had a pure heart too," Tigress said with a smile.
Pango smiled. "Yes, a heart that's sweet as sugar,"
"Right, people that give into hatred are nothing but cowards and weak, however, you and your family chose not to hate humans, if you guys did that, it would cause harm to yourselves and to the people of the island," Usagi agreed.
"Young lady, you also honored your mother's wish and stood strong for ten whole years," Carla said with a smile.
"Yeah, you endured the pain of what happened and kept your promise to your mother," Wendy added with a bright smile.
"They're right, you did your part of enduring the pain and became the woman you are today," Kagura agreed with a slight smile.
Milianna giggled. "Yeah, you got a heart like an innocent kitty cat."
Despite the good words, Shirahoshi was still unsure of her reasons. "I appericate your kind words, but, still, I should've mentioned something of what I knew."
"Maybe, but, nevertheless, your intentions were pure just like those died before you," Jimbei spoke referring to Fishertiger and Otohime.
"Don't tell them...hold in your hatred..."
"Don't become angry on my behalf..."
"Their dying wishes planted a seed in your heart and grew within making you a strong defender like your mother and Fishertiger," Jimbei continued.
"He's right, you followed their example, and manage to live the way you are living," Erza followed with a proud smlie. "If others felt the same way you did, then the conflicts between Fishman and humans would end like it's suppose to."
"It can still can, you set an example despite being alone for ten whole years, though, it wasn't meaningless," Lily added. "Years ago in Edolas there was a rift between Exceeds and humans, but, both our kinds learned to live in peace."
Usagi couldn't agree more. "Yes, I have know both Minks and humans can learn to live in peace as well, whether we were fated to meet, we can't deny that we're no different, and that there's no reason for our races can't live in harmony."
Sting smirked. "Yeah, you got a lot of heart Shirahoshi!"
Lector chuckled. "That's right, you know to be strong, too!"
Rogue had a smile on his face. "Right, you continued to stay strong despite being alone in your tower for ten years."
Frosch smiled gently at the mermaid. "You're such a nice mermaid Shirahoshi."
Kagura smiled slightly. "You do a great job holding any hatred or anger that would overcome you, you got more heart little sister."
"Awkward..." Milianna muttered quietly.
"I agree..." Makarov spoke. "You are a true pure of heart like a fairy who has a smile that shines brighter than the sun."
Shirahoshi was so touched by the praise and good words that she was receiving. "Thank...you...I'm so happy..."
Wendy smiled brightly at the mermaid. "Shirahoshi."
"Still a crybaby," Luffy said.
Boom
Hordy Jones stomped the ground violently. "I should've realized that Vander Decken would screw this up, couldn't kill one lousy princess and all because of a broken heart, pathetic, after he told me about the power she possesses I knew I had to get rid of her right away."
He walked back on the stand he was on sitting on. "Admitedly, I should've realized something was off when you didn't put much a fight..." He was mostly referring to Jimbei.
"Jimbei, you really like these foolish humans, people like you are the worst, you forgot your pride, you grew up with Fishertiger and Arlong back at the Fishman District, both will killed by humans, befriending such pityful primates is absolutely disgusting!"
He then smirked. "No matter, once, we destroy you and the others, we'll reign and we'll start at the world summit, once, we arrive there, we'll kill those rulers which lead to the humans fearing us!" He then put his hand out introducing the human slaves. "All of you pirates will bow to me like these pirates right here!"
Then a laugh was heard which got Hordy's attention. "Who's laughing?"
Sting approached on the front line. "That would be me," He grinned. "If you think we're going to bow down to you creep like you, then you're more a misguided moron than I thought you were."
Hearing that comment made Hordy Jones shake violently clearly he was pissed off. "You...are...dead."
Meanwhile
Natsu's team came to a large room that was like a battle area.
"This room is huge," Gray said.
"Looks like it's new, the furniture brand new like it was brought here not too long ago," Juvia said observing the couches and chairs.
"Look at these, some books on chemicals and all kinds of this scientist stuff," Fujika said looking at some books on a nearby shelf.
"Too bad, Levy or Robin isn't here, they would understand more of this then anyone," Happy commented.
"Anyway, look over there, there's two hallways over there," Natsu pointed out to two hallways that were separated from each other.
"Which one should we take, that's the main question," Mikaya wondered.
"Fairy Tail has arrived..." A femine voice said.
Out of one of the hallways.
"I'm Syka, the Scorpion Demon, you wonder which one leads to where your friends are being held,
"I'm guessing that you're one of the surviving Demons from Tartaros?" Juvia guessed.
"Yes, I was also away when Fairy Tail had their war against Tartaros, however, we learned of what happened, though, the fall of the Nine Demon Gates and Mard Geer wasn't in vein," Syka replied with a sinister smile forming on her face. "During the past year after Fairy Tail's disbandment, our co-leader Saki was in charge for the time, that is until she was no more after her battle in the world of corruption that was caused by the human the Prime Minister."
"Saki..." Natsu began to ponder. "Wait, she was that lightning demon lady!"
"That's right, you defeated her," Gray said remembering the thunder demon. "
Natsu laughed. "Yeah, I used her power against her," He boasted.
"Yes, however, we don't let that happen," Mard Geer soon came from the hallway that Syka came. "It's been so long Fairy Tail wizards, to think that some technology that was different from Earthland would save me, not only that, Zeref invents a Lacrima that's different from the rest, I expect no less from my creator."
"What does he mean by creator?" Miyaka asked.
"Zeref the Black Wizard, he's the King of Alvarez he's the creator of the Demons from Tartaros, he created them so that one day they would kill him," Gray summarized.
"Why would he want that?" Fujika asked.
"That's the simple," Mard Geer spoke hearing the conversation. "Like I mentioned back on Earthland, Zeref's is cursed which unleashes death energy taking the lives of creatures, plants, and people, though, he's forgotten the remember the value of life so his curse's power will be intact"
Natsu narrowed his eyes. "That's right, I guess that would explain how the Spriggan Twelve wasn't effected."
Jackal then walked out the dark hallway. "Gehehehehe...long time no see...Fairy Tail..."
"Crap, he's Jackal," Natsu cursed with a glare.
"He's the one with the bomb curse, he'll be tough to beat," Gray thought. though he remembered his Ice Demon Slayer magic. "Where is Aquaius?"
"Right here," Aquaius was hiding in a corner by a large shelf of books. "To think you all Fairy Tail wizards would make it all the way here, I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised."
"Enough talk, it's time to fight," Mard Geer clapped his hands and all of Tartaros soldier grunts appeared from the one of the hallways. "All 100 Soldiers, prepare to attack!"
The demon soldiers raised their weapons.
"Wait, where are the other Demons?" Gray asked.
"Uh oh...looks like we're outnumbered," Fujika said a little nervous.
Natsu grinned. "No matter, I have an idea,"
"Geez, that's a first," Gray remarked.
"What was that ice boy!?" Natsu barked comically.
Fujika and Miyaka sensed the power from Demon. The power felt so intense and evil.
"Damn...I feel like this battle is about to get tough,"
Back at the Concorde Plaza
"Before we start our battle, I must say something to you Fairy Tail Pirates, I know everything about you, you all come from another world where magic is and that you all are wizards!" Hordy Jones stated as he noticed the shocked faces that the wizard had. "How did we get this information you're probably wondering, Tartaros shared every detail, to think there was other worlds, that's the additional plan that I have."
The citizens were all disdebelief of what they just heard.
"Fairy Tail comes from another world..."
"Where magic exists including wizards!?"
"Crap, I didn't see this coming!"
"Is that what that Mard Geer person was talking about?"
Sharley was taken a back by all this. "I can't believe there are other worlds..." Hordy Jones's voice was heard again.
"Once I destroyed the Straw Hats and you Fairy Tail scumbags, I'll invade your homeworld and take every human I can snatch and enslave them all."
Makarov started to laugh loudly.
Hordy Jones saw the small old human man. "Something funny old timer?"
The small old wizard recollected himself. "I hate to break to you Hordy Jones, but, the humans in our world aren't going to be easy for you to take."
The great white shark Fishman narrowed his eyes as Makarov continued. "The wizards are strong, even the enemies my family and I are going to face in battle are going to be powerful, honestly, we barely escaped the last time, so your chances of taken humans into slavery..." His voice suddenly became deep as his body began to grow and his height changed. "ARE ZERO!"
The new Fishman pirate grunts were total awe. "That small old is a giant!"
Luffy and his friends shared the same reaction.
"That old man can grow taller?" Sanji questioned.
"Yes, his magic is Titan, which he use to grow taller and he can use different magic abilities," Erza summarized. "Gramps always been our leader but more like our grandfather."
Franky was grinning. "He's superrr!"
"Wow, that's cool!" Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper exclaimed with stars in their eyes.
"Stupid old man, you think I'll be scared that easily, Fishman Pirates kill them all!"
"There are too many, we're screwed!" Chopper cried comically.
"This is why I don't hang out with you guys!" Pappagu barked.
Robin crossed her arms. "Before we die, it's been a pleasure to see you guys again and meet Fairy Tail along with their allies too."
"Geez, are you this morbid!?" Usopp and Chelsea comically remarked.
Brook held his cane up. "To see so many enemies, my eyes would pop out...if I had any eyes though, yohohohoho!"
"No time for jokes pervert!" Carla barked with an anime vein on her head.
Gildarts grinned. "If these bastards want a fight, I'll give them one."
Gajeel did his trademark laugh. "Quite the army, nothing we can handle."
Levy was a little nervous. "Geez, you got to be calm about this."
Lily smiled proudly. "That's Gajeel for ya."
Kagura had a cold look on her face. "No matter, I'll take these creeps down one by one."
"Meow, we'll show these jerks the power of Mermaid Heel!" Milianna stated with a serious look.
Erza summoned her sword. "As the temporary Guild Master, I promise that these Fishman pirates will be defeated."
Akame had her blank expression. "I wonder if Fishmen taste yummy."
"We're here to defeat the Fishman Pirates not eat them!" Erza reminded the black-haired assassin.
"Anyway, 100,000 that isn't much," Nami was hiding in middel of Sanji, Usopp, and Zoro.
Usagi prepared to take out his Katana. "The fight is beginning."
"Snort...snort...snort...bring'em on!" Temukai said with a grin while blowing air out of his nostrils.
Pango narrowed his eyes. "I'll show them Panda strength and win this fight."
Bonk
Tigress had annoyed look on her face "C'mon, don't treat like this is a game."
Sting cracked his knuckles. "Looks like we get to show these jerks to the power of the Twin Dragon Slayers." He glanced at Rogue, who nodded in agreement. "That's right."
Franky jumped from the ship. "So, the battle is on, c'mon over here!" He gestured as his small robotic hand came from his giant hand.
Sanji observed the army. "In case you can't count, there are about 10,000 of these guys to win."
Zoro didn't seem worried. "That maybe true, however, that doesn't mean they're strong I mean they're not navy admirals, so, don't crap yourself."
"Gee, thank for sharing that," Carla barked in disgust.
"Hey, don't gross out the girls!" Sanji yelled.
"I was just giving advice!" Zoro argued back.
"They remind me when Natsu headbutts with Gajeel and Gray," Wendy giggled.
"That's for sure," Gildarts agreed.
Luffy walked past the cook and the green-haired swordsman approaching the incoming Fishman Pirates.
"Geheheheh...kill that brat!" Hordy commanded.
A lot of the Fishman pirates leaped at the Straw Hat pirate.
"Kill him!"
"Let's slaughter that brat!"
"Yeah!"
Natsu was approaching the Tartaros soldiers as they prepared to fire their magic beam. Then the young man gritted his teeth. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He let out a powerful roar similar to that of a dragon's.
Hum
A sonicwave was heard in the air which was released from Luffy.
Hordy Jones seemingly heard the sound and he began to look around where the sound was coming from.
Mard Geer, Jackal, Syka, and Dr Stylish covered their ears at the loud noise.
Outside the cave.
Aquapad and his friends were battling the Fishman Pirate grunts however, they heard the loud roar.
"What was that?" Jula asked.
"Perhaps a sea king," Rena guessed.
"No, sea kings aren't around here, they live deep in the water," Angel summarized.
"If it's not a sea king, what is it?" Aquapad wondered.
Just then the Fishman pirate grunts stopped and in a seconds they fainted.
Mard Geer saw the Tartaros grunts do the same and fall over unconscious. "What the hell did Salamander do?"
"My, what was that roar?" Syka questioned rubbing her ears.
"Did the fireball do that?" Jackal suspected.
"Oh my, he's such a interesting guy," Dr. Stylish said with a laugh.
Gray was quite understanding what his rival just did. "Did he use..."
Miyaka shared the same feeling. "How did he learn to..."
Fujika was emoured. "Oh, he's so cool!"
The Fishman pirates at the plaza did the same leaving Hordy Jones and his officers in disbelief.
"What the hell happened!" A fishman pirate grunt exclaimed.
"That was 50,000 of our men!" Another shouted.
Erza was impressed of what she saw. "He took 50,000 out without laying a finger on them, he's more stronger than I thought."
Makarov couldn't believe what he saw. "That's the power of Haki...amazing." He wondered how powerful if he was a member of Fairy Tail including around the time when Fairy Tail competed in the Grand Magic Games.
Gildarts grinned. "So, that's the power of Haki." He remembered something that Rayleigh said to him.
"Conqereur's Haki is strong, the more your spirit power is, the chances are that'll awaken, though, to use it, have no sense of doubt in you, otherwise, it won't ever be awaken, but that kind of Haki is rare, so, chances of someone getting it are slim,"
"I heard that Straw Hat used it at Marineford, but, seeing it in person is another," Tigress said.
"Haki is more powerful than I thought," Akame said quite impressed.
Leone grinned widely with excitement. "That man is something, he gets me all hot."
Chelsea had to admit that was impressive. "I never knew he was this strong, then Ivankov did say he was never stopped trying to rescue his brother."
Gajeel did his trademark laugh again. "He's stronger than I thought, he might be a worthy opponent in the future."
Lily was a little taken aback by this. "I wonder how strong he would be against the Alvarez Empire."
Laxus was a little shaken up, which was a surprise. "I heard of his power but,seeing it in person is another story."
Freed smiled slightly. "Quite the interesting guy."
Bickslow laughed but was impressed. "That guy is full of surprises."
Evergreen fixed her glasses. "I got to admit, he's more entertaining to watch."
"He's super manly!" Elfman cheered pumping his muscles.
"I wonder how he and Natsu would be in a friendly duel," Lisanna said.
"Who knows, but it would be interesting to watch," Mirajane commented.
Usagi was impressed. "Expect no less from Straw Hat considering the stories I heard about him."
"Snort...snort...such power," Temukai agreed.
"Such power..." Tigress said with wide eyes.
Pango had a goofy grin. "He's so powerful."
"He's so cool," Wendy praised.
"He's probably just as strong as Natsu," Carla thought.
Kagura was quite impressed. "Not bad..." She gazed at Zoro. "I wonder how strong Roronoa Zoro is I mean he is the vice captain after all."
"Meow, no doubt, he has such power even without magic," Millianna commented.
Robin was astonished of what she saw. "Haki...such power."
Sanji was taken aback by the display his captain just pulled. "Conqereur's Haki, talk about scary."
"Yeah, but, I wouldn't expect nothing less from the guy who's my captain," Zoro smirked.
Luffy looked into the direction where Hordy Jones was. "Your name is Hordy Jones...well, I'm about to kick your ass, if you want to be a king of a country or whatever, fine...however being the king of the pirates, hell no...that's my job!"
The Straw Hats and the wizards of Fairy Tail along with their allies fight against the New Fishman Pirates. Team Natsu fight against Mard Geer, but, will they get their friends in time, that's anyone's guess.
