Chapter 61: War on Fishman Island Part 3
Gray's group continued their fight against the Demons of Tartaros.
Dr. Stylish was bored. "My, my, this fight is getting intense, but..." He sighed for a moment. "I hope to get a piece of the action, and there's only one boy toy for me, no matter, if he stills lives then things will be my favorite."
Juvia felt her radar go off and felt her body get hot, but, not in a good way. "Juvia senses rival...grr...Juvia hates rivals."
Miyaka noticed the coldness in the water mage's eyes. "Gee, she's scarier than I thought."
Fujika took out a potion in her hand. "Take this!"
Syka vanished in a blink of an eye and reappeared behind the former Kuja pirate. "Peek-a-boo!" She raised her hand as her fingernails glowed purple and attempted to slash the girl's back.
However, the former Kuja pirate evaded the attack by moving her body. "What the hell?" She attempted to use both of her fingernails and swung them trying to take a swipe at the other girl.
"Damn, hold still!" Syka cursed in frustration.
"Is that Observation Haki?" Miyaka questioned, though, she saw the Demon girl was open and took out her pistol. "Fire!"
Syka caught a glimpse of the bullet being fired at her and barely dodged it leaving a small scratch. "I let my guard down."
Leon realized this fight was getting intense. "Looks like I'll have to step in,"
Juvia saw the Demon panther beginning to make his move. "Juvia must stop him." She ran towards the Demon and stopped in front of him. "Juvia will fight you, you leave my friends alone."
Leon had no qualms with that. "Very well, I'll enjoy draining your energy."
Gray saw this. "Juvia found her opponent, looks like I'll have to deal with these guys." He was referring to Jackal, Lamy, Dr. Stylish, and Syka. "Taking on three enemies at once is reckless, however, we got get going."
Syka smirked evilly. "Talk about you guts you have for a human."
Bang
The Demon looked to see the former marine Miyaka pointing her pistol at her. "I'll be your opponent."
"I'll assist you," Fujika offered while standing by the former marine girl, who nodded in approval.
Gray turned his attention to Jackal and Dr. Stylish. "I guess, it's just me against you two."
Jackal smirked cruelly. "Looks like ice boy wants to take us on all by himself, this should be fun."
Dr. Stylish just winked amusingly making the ice wizard's skin crawl. "I'll enjoy making you my play toy once I defeat you ice boy."
As much as Gray was crept by Dr. Stylish, he knew he had to his mind focused on the battle. "Let's do this!" He noticed that Aquaius wasn't around. "Wait, where did Aquaius go?" He shook the thought off and started his battle against the three Demons.
In the hidden chamber
Natsu was starting his battle against the three perverted Fishmen.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu engulfed one of his hands in fire and threw a punch.
Saizou pulled back his arm and threw his punch only that his fist had a water torrent. "Fishman Karate: Brick Fist Torrent!"
Both of their punches made contact which released a large powerful shockwaves and sent both sliding against the ground.
"Not bad..." Natsu smirked. "You're quite strong."
Saizou scoffed. "I'm more powerful than some weak human like you, though, it's clear you have some advantage using fire abilities, so..." His body transformed making his body bulkier. "This is my power of Fishmen, I come from a family that studied the power of Fishman Karate, my ancestors came up with a new kind of power that increases our strength." He then vanished.
Natsu was surprised. "Where'd he go?"
"Fishman Karate: Brick Fist Torrent!" He used his previous move, though, and Natsu turned around quickly. "Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!"
He rushed towards the Manta Ray Fishman and grabbed his shoulders then subsequently set his hands ablaze and sent the Fishman flying.
Taron smirked. "Rhahahah...not bad..." He pumped his arms which bulked up a bit. "Now, it's my turn." He pulled back both of his arms. "Fighting Fish Fishman Karate: Gatling Fist Torrent!"
He delivered multiple water torrent fists.
"Whoa, that's just like Luffy's Gatling move!" Happy pointed out.
Natsu just grinned. "Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!" His entire body was ablaze and soared through the water with torrent fists and headbutted the Fighting Fish Fishman's stomach sending him crashing into a wall.
Jester smirked maliciously. "Not bad for a human, let's see you handle this!" He began to soar his body through the air swiftly as if he was flying and he opened his mouth showing rows of sharp teeth. "Marine Merman Style: Sharp Fang Dive!"
Natsu couldn't avoid the attack as the clownfish Merman successfully sank his sharp teeth right into the fire dragon slayer's left arm.
"Argh!" Natsu screamed in pain.
"Natsu!" Happy panicked with wide eyes.
Natsu pulled back his right hand. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" He delivered a fiery punch right into the Merman's mid-stomach which send him flying away. "Don't worry about me, Happy! Just search for the keys and free our friends!"
"Aye, sir!" The blue exceed began to search around.
"Like hell, we'll let you take our play things away!"
"Yeah, we dreamed of getting our hands on sexy yummy women!"
"Once we kill you, we'll take your head and show it to the boss!"
Taron, Saizou, and Jester stood back up, despite their injuries.
Natsu didn't look too surprised. "You three are back up..." A grin formed on his face. "Good, this fight is sure to get interesting...it's time to show the power of a Fire Dragon Slayer!" Natsu proclaimed. "Fire Dragon's Roar!"
He unleashed flames from his mouth, only the flames were bigger.
Saizou, Taron, and Jester mumbled something.
Natsu didn't see that as his flames made contact with the spot where the three Fishmen were previously creating a large explosion and smoke.
When the smoke cleared, the three were gone. "Hey, where'd they go?" Natsu asked looking around.
The three Fishmen appeared behind him all had demonic smirks on their faces. "Trio Fishman Karate: Triple Fist!"
The three Fishmen delivered a triple water torrent punch at the same time which struck Natsu's back sending him crashing into a large table.
"Oh no," Happy thought worriedly. "No, I have to have faith that he'll be okay, I need to find those keys."
"Is that all the famous Salamander can do?" Saizou chuckled mockingly.
"Yeah, how can this puny human have defeated Jackal?" Taron laughed cruelly.
"At this rate, victory is at our grasp!" Jester finished.
Just then sounds of broken rumble were being heard. "Victory will be yours..." Natsu was getting back up. "Don't make me laugh, if there's one thing I remember, that our enemies underestimated the power of Fairy Tail!"
The three narrowed their eyes seeing a grin form on Natsu's face as he continued. "You and your boss Hordy Jones are going to learn that the hard way!"
Hearing that only made them infuriated. "Is that so, prove it, by defeating us!" Saizou replied with a calm expression.
Taron smirked creepily. "Yeah, prove to us that you're not all talk."
"If you can't, you're just a lowly inferior primate," Jester said with a darkened look.
"Is that a fact? Fine, I'll show what wizards of Fairy Tail...no...what the wizards of Earthland are capable of!" Natsu stated as his voice made the air tense.
M
Kagura and Mako held their blades preparing for their sword fight.
"So, you're Kagura the Steathe Sword User, I never heard of someone using their sword while in its sheath," Mako said with a dark smile. "Killing you will prove that I'm even stronger, once I defeat you, I'll kill Zoro and Erza."
The sheath sword user's face scowled. "I will not let a monster like you hurt my friends, though, I must say you joining with a madman like Hordy Jones isn't right."
"Save your human speech for someone who cares, now, let's fight!" Mako lunged at the other female swordsman.
Ray crackled his knuckles. "Killing humans is always been a hobby of mine, but, to a kill human child is even more fun, and I'll enjoy killing your little pet."
"Pet?!" Carla whispered with an anime vein on her head.
Wendy narrowed her eyes at the Fishman. "You don't understand humans at all, true, some humans are bad, but, that doesn't mean all of them are, Fishertiger and Otohime saw that, despite what hardships they had to face, they stayed strong till the end."
Ray just laughed. "Such a speech from a puny little primate, so, I suggest you stop with the human noble speech crap and fight me."
The sky dragon slayer put her hands up. "Bring it, it'll be my honor to show you not to underestimate the power of Fairy Tail."
Carla narrowed her eyes at the Fishman. "Yes, we'll prove to you that humans and creatures can get along too!"
"Shark Darts!" He lunged towards Wendy, who barely dodged it leaving a mere scratch on her arm.
"Wendy!" Carla cried in a panic.
"Don't worry, it is just a scratch," Wendy said though her face said otherwise. "Power of the Stout Arms that tears heaven...Arms!"
Wendy put her hand up and a magic circle appeared from above. "Now, Carla...Armor!" She unleashed another of her enchantment spells increasing her partner's defense power.
"I don't know what you did, but it doesn't matter, I know combat and learned the Fishman Karate!" Ray proclaimed.
He delivered a punch towards the younger girl's face, though, Wendy avoided the attack by moving her head.
"What the hell?"
"Sky Dragon's Crushing Fang!" Wendy charged and swiped her opponent using her fingers leaving a wake of wind behind her.
The Armor Sea Robin Fishman used his arm to block the attack, though, he felt some damage. "Not bad for a little girl."
"Yeah, you got some strong defense," Wendy praised.
"My turn...Fishman Karate: Hundred Brick Fist!" Ray delivered his hard punch toward the younger girl.
"Sky Dragon's Spiral Soar!" Wendy began to spiral around with incredible speed and collided herself with the Fishman's karate punch.
The two struggled to push each other away.
"I got to admit, for a little human child, you got some skills," Ray said with a smirk.
"As I said, don't underestimate Fairy tail," Wendy replied with a smile.
The two landed a few feet away on the ground.
Carla flew towards the Fishman. "Hi-ya!" She slammed a kick on top of Ray's head.
The Armor Sea Robin Fishman took a more few steps away while holding his head. "That hurt...though, I ain't going to go done easily." He rubbed his head.
"Good, I would be insulted you held back," Wendy said with a confident smile.
"To think someone so young could go up against a Fishman that uses Fishman Karate," Robin said looking impressed.
"She's strong alright, no wonder she was able to beat the Vice-Admiral Sorano," Nami added.
"Carla turning into a human and using combat skills, that's quite impressive," Chopper commented.
Kagura and Mako collided their blades against each other, each sound was metallic whenever the blades clashed together. Each time they did it with incredible speed.
Mako kept attempting to use one of the blades to at least cut part of Kagura, though, no matter, how he swiftly spun his Mahne, Kagura would just block it quickly. "You got impressive reflexes, however, I trained with this blade since I was a child, so, I'm experienced with it, and no matter how strong or fast your swordsmanship is, I'll cut you down."
Kagura wasn't phased by the Fishman's words. "I trained my skills far longer than you think, I fought against other sword fighters, and each one was stronger than you think."
"Is that right, then can you handle this!" Mako handle the double-blade sword above his head and began to spin it around summoning a strong tornado(similar to Zoro's Tatsumaki). "Mahne Double Blade Style: Twister Blade!"
Kagura just remained calm. "Slashing Form!" She lunged towards her opponent's attack and cut through it, though she wasn't done. "Strong Form!"
The female sheath sword wielder lunged down at her opponent. "Mahne Double Blade: Fuller Block!" He held the sword straight using one of the blade's fuller to block Kagura's attack.
This took Kagura by surprise. "What the hell?"
Millianna caught a glimpse of this. "No way, that Fishman was able to block her Strong Form!"
Mako pushed Kagura away, though, she was able to land on her feet.
Kagura smirked with a dark expression. "I must admit no one was able to block that attack before, so, you're more of a worthy opponent than I thought."
Mako smirked a bit. "You did surprise when you cut through my blade twister, though, I ain't going to go easy on you!"
The sheath sword wielder couldn't agree more. "I would insult if you did."
Meanwhile
Hordy manages to get up after Luffy's blow on him and attempted to fight using his Fishman Karate.
Luffy demonstrates his training using the Observation and Armament Haki he learned.
Hordy Jones uses his Fishman Karate moves against the Straw Hat pirate but wasn't able to lay a single hit on him, only for him to be sent flying away.
Erza was impressed. "So, that's Observation and Armament Haki."
Akame smiled a little. "He's strong alright."
Leone grinned playfully. "Kind of cute too."
Chelsea was in disbelief. "Glad he's on our side." Though, she wondered how well he could go against the Empire's strongest warriors, mostly, commander Esdeath."
"He's small, but, he's strong," Sting praised.
"That's for sure, Haki is something too, able to predict someone's move and using invisible armor without using magic enchantments," Rogue added.
Lector had an idea. "Sting, do you think you or Rogue could learn Haki?"
"Yeah, that would be cool," Frosch said.
Gildarts chuckled. "That kid is tough, no, he's strong, I can see why the stories about this kid are so awesome."
"Meow, he could give Kagura a run for her money," Millianna thought.
"Wow, that Armament Haki makes Gajeel's Iron Dragon Scales look like child's play," Bickslow joked.
Hearing that made Gajeel twitch violently. "Like hell that punk's armor is better than my Iron Dragon Scales!"
"Chill out Gajeel," Levy said quietly while putting her hands out.
"He's super manly!" Elfman roared.
"Oh my, his Haki is something," Mirajane said.
"No kidding, he would probably fight well against Tartaros...maybe," Lisanna said uttering the last word quietly.
"Imagine if we could learn, even Laxus could learn it," Freed said putting his fingers on his chin.
Noah's appearance shocked the entire kingdom to its core. Even the Fishman Pirates started to freak out and question the sudden arrival.
"Holy hell, where'd that boat come from?" Evergreen yelled.
"Damn, that ship is even bigger than the Blue Pegasus ship Christina!" Erza commented.
"Whoa, that thing is super gigantic!" Franky exclaimed.
"What boat is that?" Nami asked.
"It's the Noah!" Jimbei summarized.
"Damn it, what the hell is that doing here?" Gin wondered.
"Holy crap, that's even bigger than my former master Jose's robot!" Gajeel pointed out.
"The situation got worse," Usagi muttered.
"Snort...snort...danger boat approaching," Temukai spoke.
"Yipe, the giant ship is going to crush us!" Pango comically yelled.
"Oh no..." Yukino said looking scared.
"This won't end well for us!" Brook cried comically.
"It's so big!" Chopper commented in awe.
Usopp began to run around comically. "This is it! We're dead! We're dead!"
"Damn, I don't want to die like this," Chelsea whined comically.
"I wonder if our blood will be enough to stain the ground," Robin wondered with a blank expression.
"No need to say morbid stuff like that!" Usopp and Chelsea comically yelled.
Vander Decken's crew member Wadtsumai fell off the boat and landed on his head leaving a red lump "Ow, I gotta stop being so clumsy."
Zeo recognized the large sea giant. "That's Wadatsumai, one of Decken's men!"
The sea giant stood up and looked directly at the ship. "Captain Vander Decken, I fell off and I can't get back up, you have to do something for me, I don't want to die!"
Hearing that, Zeo looked back at the huge vessel. "Wait for a second, Decken's behind this!?"
"Damn it, what is that stalker bastard thinking," Armand thought.
"That non-swimming bastard, why is he doing this?" Jaw questioned.
"Crap, what is that dumbass thinking?" Mako growled.
Bass gritted his teeth. "Damn, Vander Decken, what is your deal this time?!"
Barrancuna wasn't understanding the meaning of Noah's arrival. "Why would Decken send the Noah here?"
Ray was angered at this. "Vander Decken that bastard."
"Hordy Jones mentioned that Vander Decken is rejected, is this what the Noah's here?" Rocky thought.
"I shall use the Noah Ark to destroy Fishman Island along with those pathetic weaklings, that the Straw Hats and their friends, also, Shirahoshi, if you haven't turned me down, this wouldn't have happened, and lastly, Tartaros also requested me to destroy Fairy Tail, so, the Noah will surely destroy them as well!"
"That bastard," Erza growled.
"Oh, Fairy Tail, by the way, I have someone who wants to speak to you," He handed over the speaker to Aquaius, who just appeared out of nowhere.
"Hi, Fairy Tail, it's been a while since we met in that other world,"
"It's her..." Erza growled quietly.
"Aquaius, the Demon Siren," Akame followed.
"To think the New Fishman Pirates are losing their battles to measly humans, such pathetic sea creatures get all cocky and all of you are dropping like flies," Aquaius laughed mockingly.
Dosun growled. "That demon siren bitch..."
"Hee-hee...she'll pay for mocking us," Ikaros said with a demonic glare.
"So, Tartaros has betrayed too!" Zeo exclaimed.
"Ca-ca, those Demons are going to pay, I'll chomp them into pieces of flesh!" Daruma barked angrily.
Hordy Jones learns of this traitor and attempts to climb Noah. "Tartaros is involved in this too."
Erza gritted her teeth. "Tartaros requested Decken to do this!?"
Shirahoshi confronts her stalker. She ends up getting scratched by one of the stalker's knives. She then lured Noah away, knowing the reason the ship was mostly going to go after her was due to Vander Decken's Devil Fruit powers.
"Damn it...no," Jimbei said in great concern.
Sanji attempted to walk up to Noah. "I won't forgive that bastard for laying a finger on the princess!"
Luffy then grabbed his leg. "Wait, I'll go, I promised to protect her, I intend to keep that promise."
The pirate cook reluctantly agreed and used one of his legs to swing his captain up, but, not before Jimbei handed the Straw Hat captain a bubble coral.
M
Aquapad and his friends were done taking down the remaining Fishman pirate grunts. "Looks like we're done, let's join the others," Jula suggested.
"Hold it, I'll go in alone," Aquapad said abruptly which left his friends surprised, but, before they reply he put his hand out. "I want you guys to guard the cave entrance, in case other enemies arrive, I'll join our friends in their fight."
"Be careful," Rena said worriedly.
Thorn smiled. "Give them hell."
Angela nodded. "Yeah, don't let your guard down."
Aquapad nodded and went inside the entrance way.
"Stone Toss!"
"Explosion Wave!"
The explosion wave and the large sharp stones were going right towards the ice mage.
"Shave!" Gray vanished into thin air.
Jackal was the first to notice the sudden move. "Where'd that pervy icicle bastard go?"
"Ice Make: Bazooka!" He created a bazooka rocket and launched an ice cannon which landed a hit on Jackal's back.
This caused the demon canine to crash into a nearby bookshelf.
Just then Dr. Stylish emerged from the ground, surprising the ice mage. "What the hell?!"
"Peek-a-boo!" The mad scientist chuckled. "I learned some new tricks, I can use my curse power to merge with the ground thanks to my stone formation."
He was right, his lower body was merged with the ground, then his left hand transformed into a spiky ball. "Stone Spike Hand!" He intended to smash his hand on the ice mage's head.
"Ice-Make: Hammer!" Gray quickly blocked the Gargoyle's spike stone like hand using the ice hammer. "I will not go down easily!"
M
Vander Decken pursued the princess Shirahoshi. "I almost forgot to ask, how does it feel to be outside the tower, you must've felt so sad not being able to see anyone for ten whole years."
Shirahoshi whimpered in fear.
"Now, it's time for you to die my dear, however..." Vander Decken began to trout his legs around. "If you accept my proposal then... I SHALL SPARE YOUR LIFE!"
"I'm deeply sorry Decken, but, I can't, because you're not my type!"
Hearing that again struck Vander Decken hard in the heart. "Ugh..." He paused for a few seconds until he spoke again... "I see...then...TO HELL WITH YOU!"
He threw several daggers toward the princess mermaid, who gasped in horror, and continued to swim away.
Manboshi and Ryuboshi deflect the incoming dagger using their blades.
"You stay away from our baby sister!"
"Yeah, we won't let you lay a finger on her!"
Luffy was in the sea using the coating, however, his attack was slowing down due to the water. Eventually, the coating was destroyed leaving Luffy in a tight spot thus leaving him unconscious.
Hordy Jones was delighted that he had the advantage and attempted to finish off Arlong's enemy, however, Prince Fukaboshi rescued the Straw Hat captain.
The two are chased by Hordy Jones, despite, the energy Steroid's effect, the Great White Shark Fishman's speed was fast and able to take down some nearby eels.
Eventually, Noah was seen nearby.
The two start to have a small chat.
"I'm here to help, I see that you're determined to save my sister, though, I regret that my brothers and I couldn't keep her safe, also, I feel bad that I suspected you and your friends too," Fukaboshi said with a guilty look on his face.
"Nah, it's no big deal, Fairy Tail offered to help, they'll make sure that Tartaros also gets a good ass kicking too," Luffy said with a huge grin. "As for me, I'll kick Hordy's butt and I'll protect Shirahoshi."
"I appreciate your kindness," Fukaboshi said.
Aquaius was secretly following Hordy Jones.
Shirahoshi swam higher and higher coming close to some darkness.
"Bwhahahaha...no matter where you go, Noah will find you!" Vander Decken cackled, then he stopped abruptly as he caught a glimpse of Hordy Jones, hiding in the shadows and seeing his pair of glowing blue eyes.
"Well, Hordy Jones, hello there, where is my future father-in-law, Neptune, dead perhaps?" Vander asked with a cold chuckle.
Hordy Jones didn't reply at first, so, Vander continued. "As you can see, I'm using the Noah torture the princess, quite the plan, don't you think?"
Hordy Jones had a creepy wide smile on his face. "I like it, but, I have an even better plan, would you like to hear it?"
Vander Decken seemed intrigued, so he bent down closer to the New Fishman Pirate captain. "Or better yet...perhaps I should you!"
STAB
A sound of flesh being stabbed was heard as Vander Decken opened his mouth in great pain and blood began to drop on the deck. "Ugh...ugh...ugh..." He groaned in great pain.
"If you die, what will become of the ship?" Hordy Jones questioned.
Aquaius was nearby hiding behind a rock. "Good, now, it'll be time for my next plan."
Vander Decken caught a glimpse of Aquaius in the distance. "Hordy Jones..." He placed his hand on his former partner's should and slightly pushed him away.
"Hordy Jones...I touched you with my left hand...you also made a terrible mistake...YOU TURNED YOUR BACK ON ME!"
He tossed one of his axes.
"As I recall, you did yourself, honestly, I was a bit nervous seeing the arrival of Noah," Hordy Jones said his creepy smile not leaving his face. "To that Tartaros was in on this too, no matter, I shall kill them too, however, using the Noah to crush the island isn't bad, sure, I would lose the island, but, it's only a small price."
Vander Decken slowly began to take a syringe from his pocket. "Yes, Tartaros is something, they also have some useful items that I can use...like...RIGHT NOW!"
He took the syringe and injected it into his neck.
"What?!" Hordy Jones wondered in confusion.
His body began to transform along with his legs, which seemed to pump up with some muscle, and his slim body also began to bulky like Laxus's. His height also began to change until he was about Hordy's height.
"This power...it's flowing through...my veins," Vander Decken chuckled with an insane look on his face. "I can feel power increasing and I have gotten taller!"
Hordy Jones was pondering what he was seeing, though a part of him was intrigued.
"Tartaros...You got some interesting items...quite impressive."
"I'll demonstrate my new power and I think I'll start with...YOU!" Vander Decken's shoes grew a blade from the front and he swiftly raised upwards, though, Hordy Jones ducked his head, though part of the blade slightly scratched the other Fishman's cheek.
A bit of blood was starting to drip from the small scratch. "Not bad...that syringe must've given you a power-up." Hordy Jones said with an intrigued look.
"Damn right, I'll continue using this power and I shall kill you!" Vander Decken took out another axe though he held it in his hand.
The other axe that was thrown was coming behind Hordy Jones, though, he sensed the incoming axe and was able to deflect it using his trident.
"Got ya!" Vander Decken tried to stab Hordy Jones using his shoe blade, however, this time, he saw this coming and bit down on the other Fishman's leg.
"Aah!" The Japanese Bull Shark Fishman screamed in pain. "I ain't done!"
He delivered a punch on Hordy's forehead which sent him back a few feet away. "Damn it, how did you get strong?"
Aquaius continued to spy on the two Fishmen. "Things are going according to plan, once, the two destroy each other, I'll go after Shirahoshi and kill her thus turning her into our puppet."
At the Conchcorde Plaza
Waah Waah Waah
Wadatsumi was bawling his eyes out due to Vander Decken's abandonment. "Vander Decken doesn't like me anymore, he left me here to die!"
His tears were dropping on some of the New Fishman Pirates while others yelled at the giant monk.
"Quit crying, you big baby!"
"Yeah, you're the only one that can fight the Kraken!"
Gajeel covered his ears in annoyance. "Damn, is that giant gonna keep bawling like a baby!?"
Wendy felt a bit sorry for the giant. "Poor guy."
"He's more a crybaby than Wendy," Carla thought.
"He's so noisy!" Cana yelled in annoyance.
"Can someone shut that giant baby up?" Laxus asked looking irritated.
Zeo walked towards the sea giant. "Umm...I'm sure that Vander Decken wanted here to help us fight against the human pirates."
Hearing that made the giant settle down. "Huh...really?"
Zoe nodded. "Here, swallow this!"
The sea giant monk swallowed the pill and felt his body get tense up, his muscles were getting strong and his entire body including his head became dark red.
"I'm gonna beat the human pirates and make Vander Decken proud!" He delivered a strong punch right on the Kraken's head thus defeating the legendary sea creature.
"Oh no!" Wendy cried.
"Surume was defeated!" Lector exclaimed.
"Oh no!" Frosch added worry.
"Now, kill that traitor Jimbei!" Zeo commanded.
Wadatsumi pulled back his arm and prepared to punch the former warlord.
Nami saw this. "Jimbei, watch out!"
"Fishman Karate: Seven Thousand Brick Pound House Kick!" Jimbei delivered a strong kick right into the Wadatsumi's fist.
The attack was so strong that the giant sea monk fall backward on his butt. "OWIE!" His landing on his butt caused some shockwaves to blow around the area.
Nami fell down on her stomach due to the shockwaves.
"Nami, you watch where you're falling pal!" Sanji barked with fire in his eyes and twirled himself into the air, then he delivered a strong kick right into Wadatsumi's head.
"Ow, that hurt me!" The giant sea monk bellowed.
"If you want to fight, then fight me," Jimbei suggested.
Sanji joined the former warlord's side. "I want a piece of this oversized dumpling!"
Hyouzou was sitting by a large coral-eating some energy steroids.
A few Fishmen pirate grunts approached their officer. "Hyouzou, please come on, we need your help!"
"Octopus please, make it snappy," The Octopus Merman ordered in a drunken state.
"Does this look like a bar to you, isn't that like cannibalism?" One of the Fishman grunts asked.
Hyouzou continued to chow on some energy steroids. "My, I feel hungry."
"Just pathetic..." A Fishman with antennae on his head and wielding a hook like a blade looked at the Octopus Merman. "If I prove myself, I'll become an officer on the crew."
Nuru
Angelerfish Fishman
"Nuru..." One of the Fishman grunts called him.
He tried a sneak attack on Zoro, only for the green-haired swordsman to turn around quickly and block the Fishman's blade.
"So, sneak attacks won't work on you, not bad," The Fishman then used his lightbulb to create a bright light to blind Zoro however...
His light bulb was cut down into three pieces.
"You only see with your eyes...some swordsman you are...GET LOST!"
Nuru was sent flying away and landed on his back. Despite that, he was overwhelmed he refused to back down. "You got lucky that time, however, I'm destined to be the greatest swordsman, and I'll cut down anyone-"
His blade was cut down into pieces and then he fell down unconscious.
Hyouzou was in a drunken state, though, his condition seemed to have gotten worse, but, that wasn't the only thing that changed, his hair color was white like Hordy's.
Zeo then turned himself invisible due to his camouflage ability. "Time for a sneak attack." He quietly swam towards Nami and grabbed her legs.
"What the, why can't I move!" She wondered.
"Yes, now, I'll impale you, little human!" Ikaros came out of nowhere and attempted to use his squid spears.
"NOOOO!" Nami screamed in fear.
Zap
Gin came out of nowhere and clawed the Squid Fishman's chest. "Electro-Claw!"
Brook then approached the female navigator. "Can I see your panties?"
Pow
Nami delivered a punch to the skeleton's face. "Pervert!"
Gin turned around and approached the navigator. "You...Nami, was it?"
The navigator was a little nervous at first. "Yes..."
Then a perverted look appeared on the Wolf Mink Whale Shark Hybrid's face. "Nami, such a goddess you are, that busty chest you got is something!"
Sanji's ear twitch violently and was pissed off. "Hold it pervert, only I can make eyes at Nami!"
Jimbei placed his hand on the cook's shoulder. "Let him be, we got other things to worry about."
"Pervert calling another guy pervert," Sting wondered.
"Takes one to know one," Lector shrugged.
Brook rubbed his face. "Ow...feisty as usual..."
Gin continued to hit on Nami.
Suddenly Ikaros was coming starting to come behind Gin, Brook saw this. "Time to die, Gin!"
"Look out!" Brook defends the hybrid by using himself as a shield and taking the squid spear himself.
"Whoa, so, you're on their side, no matter, at least, I-" Ikaros stopped abruptly as he noticed the skeleton pirate wasn't phased. "What the hell, you should be bleeding out since I stabbed you!"
He used his other squid spears to impale multiple times. "Why isn't this working, come on, why, why, why...hee hee!"
"I'm a skeleton, I don't bleed," Brook answered.
Ikaros was perplexed at the answer. "WWHAAATTTTT!"
Elfman scoffed. "Geez, is that guy dumb or what."
Mirajane was holding a Fishman grunt by the shirt. "The guy's not too bright, either that or he's just short of a brain, what do you think Lisanna?"
She didn't hear her sister, nor did she see her around anymore. "Wait, Lisanna, what'd you go?"
Elfman heard his older sibling in her confused tone. "Mira, what's going on..." He then realized that Lisanna was missing. "Lisanna, where'd you go, Lisanna!"

Natsu continued his fight against the three perverted Fishmen.
He delivered strong punches whenever he saw an opening. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" He delivered his fiery punch into Taron's face.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!"
He swung his arms and landed his attack on Saizou's body.
"Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!" He rushed right into Jester's body and burned the Clownfish Merman's torso.
The three Fishmen were still rearing to fight despite the many damages they took.
"I see, you guys ain't going down so easily, I think it's time we get more serious," Natsu suggested with a smirk.
Saizou couldn't agree more as a demonic look appeared on his face. "Yes, I think it's time we end this..."
Taron grinned widely which showed evil and malicious. "Yeah, Rrhahahaha..."
Jester had a devilish smile on his face and his eyes had insanity in them. "Time to bring this show down which will end your miserable life!"
The three began to transform differently.
Dark energy covered their bodies and Natsu remembered this. "It's just like...when facing that Demon shark and muttering Demon...including Mard Geer."
Saizou's face became fish-like but, had demon features such as glowing dark red eyes, and his muscles bulked up to a four-pack including his arms. His mouth opened showing razor shark-like teeth and his fingers had sharp claws. "Etherious: Spotted Ray Demon Fishman!"
Taron's height got a little bigger, though, he too had the dark red glowing eyes and his muscle biceps got bulkier like Hordy's. "Etherious: Demon-Fighting Fish Fishman!"
Jester grew just as tall as Aladine, though, his mouth got wider showing his sharp teeth, and had dark red glowing eyes. He got a three-muscle pack and his fingers had sharp claws too.
Lucy tried to make sense of what was going on. "What is happening to them?"
"This can't be good," Cana said narrowing her eyes.
Hiramera couldn't understand what she was seeing. "Saizou...Taron...Jester, what have you done to yourselves?"
Happily found the keys. "Good, I found..." He stopped abruptly after noticing the three Fishman's transformation. "Holy cow, what happened to them?!"
M
Franky confronted Ikaros and decided to be his opponent.
Usopp took on Daruma.
Brook and Zeo started to fight each other.
Chomper decided to fight Dosun.
Their friends continued to fight their own opponents while some continued to fight the grunts.
Hordy Jones and Vander Decken continued their fight.
Due to Vander Decken's power up, he seemed to gain the upper hand. "Bwahahaha..." He laughed amusingly. "Hordy Jones looks like I'm going to win, with this power up, I control this fight!"
Hordy Jones just smirked for a moment. "Yes...I didn't think Tartaros had such useful items, I think I'll try it myself."
Vander Decken realized the syringe he had was gone. "Hey, you jerk, that's mine!"
Hordy Jones injected the last remaining serum from the syringe into his body. "Yes...yes...yes..." His body began to grow stronger and his eyes glowed dark red. "The blood...Demon blood...this power...is combining with the Energy Steroids that are in my veins."
"Shark Arrow!" He threw water-like arrows at the Flying Dutchman pirate captain which landed multiple hits on the other Fishman's body.
"Aaah!" The Japanese Bullhead Shark Fishman screamed.
Then Hordy Jones took his trident and slashed the Fishman's chest leaving a large scratch mark.
Vander Decken stood still for a moment as Hordy Jones walked past him. "Nice working with ya, but, it's time for you to die." He swam away and continue to pursue Shirahoshi just as Vander Decken fell down into Noah's cabin.
Crash
Shirahoshi noticed the ship stopped following her. "Wait, you guys, the Noah!"'
"Wait, what happened?" Luffy asked.
Fukaboshi didn't realize it until it occurred to him. "Oh no..." His fears were confirmed when Noah began to fall down back to the island.
"Vander Decken is knocked out, which means-" Ryuboshi panicked.
"That Noah is going to fall onto the island!" Manboshi finished.
"There must be some way to stop the Noah!" Fukaboshi yelled in concern.
"Perhaps..." Hordy Jone swam in front of the prince. "But, even if you were to stop the Noah, you would have to deal with me first, memory serves me right, that didn't work out too well!"
Luffy gritted his teeth. "Damn you."
Fukaboshi began to ponder what his father told him and his brothers.
"Listen, my sons, the Noah is more than just a mere piece of relic, it has a purpose that it'll be needed once the time is right, and furthermore, our ancestors made a promise to the person that created it which was to protect it while it was resting."
"Alright father, we'll do what we can to protect it!" Fukaboshi replied.
Hordy Jones continued his taunting. "What's the matter Straw Hat, where is that provide of yours, then again, you probably realized that there's no way in hell that you'll be able to win this fight!"
Seeing there was no other option, Luffy had one chance. "I have no choice but to destroy that ship to pieces!"
Fukaboshi's eyes widened in shock and he eyed the Rubber boy. "No, you can't, even if you have enough strength to destroy Noah, it has a purpose to be fulfilled!"
Luffy didn't understand what the prince was going on about, but, he didn't care, he was more worried about his friends and the citizens of Fishman Island. "There's no time, we need to destroy that ship otherwise our friends are done for!"
The shark merman prince agreed to a bit, though, he had a theory. "It's possible that Vander Decken is just unconscious, if we wake up, then Noah will be redirected!"
Luffy was still skeptical about that. "What if Vander Decken is dead, we got to destroy Noah!"
"Ugh, why can't you think things through!?" Fukaboshi barked clearly impatient about the Straw Hat's disagreement.
Hordy Jones found this little debate amusing. "Oh my, not getting along are we, this is entertaining!"
"Stop it!" A female voice called out.
Lisanna was there in her mermaid form. "Lisanna!" Luffy pointed out.
Fukaboshi was surprised. "Wait, how is she a mermaid?"
"Luffy, listen to what Fukaboshi says, if what he says is true, then we should go with it, besides, even if you destroy some parts of the Noah, more of it will still fall onto the island!" Lisanna said.
Luffy made a pouty face, but, Lisanna wasn't finished. "Listen, I'll go inside the Noah and find Vander Decken and wake him up."
Fukaboshi was a little unsure about this. "Wait, Vander Decken is strong, if you go along then you'll be a sitting duck!"
"I'm aware, but, my...no...our friends' lives are on the line, so, I'll go inside and find Vander Decken, once I do, I'll wake him up!"
Seeing that Lisanna wasn't going to back down from this, Fukaboshi decided to agree. "Very well, but, be careful!"
"Yay, Lisanna!" Luffy cheered.
"Oh no, you don't little human! Shark Dart!" Hordy Jones attempted to kill the white-haired girl by soaring his way to her.
Suddenly Gin came out and bit Hordy Jones on the arm. "Electro Fang!" His shark-like teeth which were giving off electrical surges instantly shocked Hordy Jones and making him scream in pain.
"Gin!" Shirahoshi called out in joy.
"Straw Hat, go, I'll help Lisanna out, you and the three princes hold him off!" Gin stated.
Luff nodded. "Thanks!"
"Gin, you have my thanks," Fukaboshi bowed his head.
Manboshi and Ryuboshi attempted to hold on to the Great White Shark Fishman."We'll help lad!"
"Hey, no one messes with our people!"
"Get lost!" Hordy Jones quickly knocked the two out by striking their faces with his fists.
"Manboshi! Ryuboshi!" Fukaboshi exclaimed in shock.
"So, that's the reason that Straw Hat wants to go to the ship," He suddenly realized what the Straw hat was doing and used his back sharp fin to cut the bubble thus destroying it.
"Oh no!" Luffy gasped.
"You stupid humans are helpless in the water, you're even weaker like a fish out of water, like you humans say," Hordy Jones taunted.
Luffy attempted to grab Hordy Jones by his wound, only, that the new Fishman captain didn't fall for the same trick instead he used his trident to scratch Luffy's arm. "Nice try, but, I ain't going to fall for the same move twice!"
"Crap, if he bursts my bubble, then I'm dead for sure," Luffy turned around and swam away.
"This is getting old!" Hordy Jones threw more Shark Arrows until Luffy got distracted and was finally at close range.
"Time to die Straw Hat!"
However, Luffy was sent flying down by a merman's fin which he landed in Shirahoshi's hands. "Forgive me for the rough ride, but, Fukaboshi asked me to help you out."
"I see," Luffy put his hat back down his head.
Fukaboshi was done playing games, it was time he found out about Hordy's cruelty. "Tell me, what did these people ever do to you, what can a person doesn't value another's life, what kind of heartless monster are you!?"
"Better heartless than weak, you and your brothers are supposed to be the strongest of the Ryuuga Kingdom, but, look at you all, down and broken because of your spineless mother that didn't have to guts to shake our kind as I did!" Hordy Jones replied as he swam past the prince.
Despite the cruel words Fukaboshi knew he couldn't back down. "I'm not proud to admit, but, despite your power is falsely required, I still wasn't strong enough to banish you away, but..." he glanced down at the mad Fishman. "I still have hope that my mother was right!"
He grabbed the water with his bare hands. "Merman Combat Ultra Marine Technique!" He created the same technique that Neptune used back at the palace.
Hordy Jones swam around the water torrent. "It's useless when you can't even lay a scratch on me!"
"I don't get it, how can you just destroy Fishman Island without any sadness in your heart, there were people from the Fishman District that were once your allies!"
"Ultra Slicer!"
"Merman Combat Ultra Marine Technique!"
However, Hordy Jones was too quick and instantly slashed the older prince down.
"No Fukaboshi!" Shirahoshi cried in fear.
"Now, all that's left is you two," Hordy Jones said but, then he felt the prince get regain consciousness.
"Mark my words, your false strength won't take me down easily," Fukaboshi said panting heavily.
"Too late to be saying that!" Hordy Jones laughed as he attempted to use his trident to stab the Merman.
Fukaboshi dodged it as he spoke again. "I don't understand, at first you wanted to raise against humans, that's understanding even it is misguiding, but, you want to put the whole island to death, so, what you will gain if that happens!?"
He used the marine technique and manage to blow away Hordy's trident and grabbed him by his scarf tightly. "Now, I need to know, what is your aiming for, what kind of vengeance are you after, did the humans kill your family or friends, did they take something you hold so dear!?"
Hordy Jones didn't reply, he gave a cold stare, which made Fukaboshi impatient. "Damn it, answer me, what could humans have done to make you abandon your sense of reason but more importantly, what would this Tartaros want to kill Fairy Tail...TELL ME NOW!"
An evil grin formed on Hordy Jone's face as he began to speak something to him, which made Fukaboshi's eyes widen in shock. "What..."
Slash
Fukaboshi was stabbed once again and knocked out.
"Damn it!" Luffy cursed.
Lisanna and Gin eventually made it to the room where Vander Decken is.
"Crap, he's out cold due to his devil fruit powers," Gin cursed.
"Wait, I have this," Lisann took out one of the bubble corals. "We can use this to give him air and then he'll be able to regain consciousness."
"Not so fast, Fairy Tail..." A low feminine voice said from the darkness.
There was Aquaius, she took off the cloak that she was wearing including the mask. "To think that Vander Decken would fall this easily, then again, I'm not too surprised."
"Wait, why does he look like a Demon?" Lisanna thought, then it occurred to her. "Wait, was this Dr. Stylish's doing?"
"I think you got bigger things to worry about, I normally don't like to go all out sooner than usual, however, I have things to do." Aquaius began to transform, her upper back was soon covered in dark green fish-like scales, and her beautiful feminine face was replaced by a demonic fish-like appearance. "Etherious: Demon Siren!"
Gin was a little creeped out. "That's scary,"
Lisanna felt the aura from the Demon. "Oh no, I can sense her power has increased, but, we can't back down..." She looked at Gin and grabbed his hand. "Gin listen to me, I need your help to fight against this Demon, I know we just met, but, I can assure you that my friends and I will save your home!"
Gin nodded in approvement. "Right, on the contrary, I was asked a favor by your siblings."
"Gin, look after our sister, I have a feeling she went to the Noah, for what reason, I don't know, but, go after her and protect on our behalf,"
"He's right, her mermaid form can't fight, only to allow her breath underwater," Mira added.
"Alright, I'll help her!" Gin declared.
M
Luffy then got a call from some Ammo Knights that were in the air tank station. "Listen Straw Hat, we're making preparations for a bubble to surround Noah, however, if we miss, then it's over..."
The rubber boy realized what the prince was up to all this time. "I see...weepy-Hoshi, I think I know what to do."
This got Shirahoshi's attention, and Luffy continued to talk with the Ammo Knights. "Alright, you guys, release the bubble when the time is right, once that's done, I'll fight Hordy Jones!"
"Roger that, also, what about your friends that were just there?"
"They'll be fine, I believe in them," Luffy assured.
"Such a cowardly mermaid and lowly pathetic human, what can you two do to save your friends!?"
Luffy managed to get on the Fishman's back thus breaking the blade on his back to pieces. "Armament Harden!"
He delivered a powerful punch right at Hordy's face, only that he took more energy steroids which made him transform even further and more ugly.
Just then Fukaboshi's voice was heard from the transponder snail.
"Straw...Hat...can...you...hear...me?"
"That's my brother's voice!" Shirahoshi cried out in relief.
"Hey buddy, are you okay?" Luffy replied.
"Listen, I got something I need to share with you and the others," Fukaboshi said with a panting voice. "It's clear to me, Tartaros and Hordy Jones, their plans are..."
The civil war on Fishman Island continues. Hammon returns to create a carriage like the Celestial Dragons, thus, Fukaboshi reveals the motives that Hordy Jones and his men along with Tartaros are trying to achieve.
