Hi guys Azza here!

Shadow465 – Brook is actually one of my favourite members of the crew especially after the Whole Cake Island Arc stuff so I'm just as keen!

Baranx – Unfortunately I haven't had heaps of time to play many games lately so unfortunately I haven't tried Blazblue but my friend does have a copy of the first game so I plan on borrowing it once I do get some spare time, you know how life is haha!

As for your other question I've considered it several times ever since I got into the SCP Foundation material last year and on one hand I really do want to include it but on the other hand certain SCP's like SCP 2935 O Death, SCP 1730 What Happened To Site 13 or yes even The Scarlet King just seem impossibly overpowered to write in a way that would satisfy people who know the upper limits of these SCP's. O Death for example is just instantaneous death in an entire universe you can't really fight that, the being from Site 13 was strong enough to fight one of the SCP 001 candidates the Gate Guardian and SCP 2845 THE DEER a Primal Godlike entity at the same time and was able to kill other entities that were said to be unkillable so if I ever did write them in I'd have to pick and choose which ones I put in carefully.

Plus technically if Natsu were to get involved in the SCP universe he'd end up being classified as an SCP himself haha!

Ouroborousdragon – Yeah trust me there will be character changes, bounty changes, power changes as well as a whole slew of other changes like there were in the Naruto Crossover.

I completely agree with you on the Usopp point but I will say all signs of cowardice should have been removed the moment he unlocked Observation Haki since that automatically makes him better than like 90% of the people who use long ranges weapons in the series since he was already broken in that field pre time skip.

As for Sanji he will still flirt but it won't be every single sentence like Oda does it but it does define his character so I can't remove it entirely.

Anyway on with the story!

I do not own Fairy Tail, One Piece or the Nasuverse.

Joining The Crew

/Natsu's POV/

The last two days had been rather sombre on the ship Natsu, Mordred and Seilah found themselves travelling on, the Straw Hat Pirates ship known as the Going Merry. Supposedly they had made an offer to Princess Vivi to join the crew however she was forced to decline due to her position, a reasonable excuse everyone knew but still it had brought a downer to the crew from the moment they left.

They had escaped Alabasta without running into any trouble easily enough, Luffy and the newly acquired bed from the palace sat in the infirmary with Chopper keeping an eye on their Captain as he slept.

Mordred and Seilah were sleeping in the quarters Nami had reserved for herself which was now dubbed the 'women's quarters' by the rest of the crew. Natsu was given an offer to sleep in the men's quarters however he declined and chose to sleep underneath a small tangerine tree that had been planted near the helm, why it was there he didn't know but he enjoyed the shade it provided so he didn't question it.

Opening one eye he shook his head at his newest companion who sat leant up against the tree with him reading a book about Archaeology, a supposedly forbidden field in this world. He saw the content smile on the woman's face and thought back to when he first encountered her on the ship.

/Flashback/

"So this is the Merry," Natsu said as the group arrived on the deck of the ship with Chopper carrying the bed with Luffy on it after having transformed into a gorilla looking form.

"Isn't she great, my best friend Kaya made it for us," Usopp said trying and failing to hide a blush.

"It definitely feels much more pleasant to be on that one of those Marine vessels," Seilah commented as she began to look around the deck. "What do you think Saber?"

It's a bit small for a Pirate ship but that actually isn't such a bad thing, provided the helmsman plays that to their advantage."

"So what do we do now," Natsu asked as the crew began to disperse.

"Well like you said we set sail for the next island before Smoker has a chance to call in Marine backup," Zoro said as he turned toward Nami. "Well you're the Navigator so navigate already."

"You know you are extremely lucky that the log pose has adjusted otherwise I'd beat you for saying that," Nami snapped before calming herself down upon seeing Natsu's confused look. "What?"

"What's a log pose?"

"You seriously don't know what a log pose is?"

"Hey I can teleport around the place remember I don't really need to use one to get from island to island like you guys."

"Oh right," Nami replied slightly embarrassed at having forgotten that little detail. "Well basically this here is a log pose."

Nami held out her right wrist to show Natsu a compass held within a glass ball that was stuck pointing in a singular direction.

"The log pose adjusts to the electromagnetic waves released by each island which somehow allows the log pose to point us to the next island, crazy concept but apparently it works so who am I to argue?"

"So let me get this straight everyone uses a form of navigation that may not even be all that reliable?"

"Well it's been proven that so long as you allow the log pose to adjust to the new coordinates you'll reach another island but I can see why you find it rather strange since you can just pop wherever you want."

Natsu was about to continue his conversation on the log pose when he sensed a familiar presence on the ship. Deciding not to alarm anyone he simply took his leave and made his way up toward the top deck where the helm and surprisingly a tangerine tree were located.

Walking up to the tangerine tree he saw a familiar face sitting there reading a book titled, Pirating For Dummies, and couldn't help but crack a smile.

"You know when I said you should find something better to do when it comes to your life I wasn't expecting it to board other ships for the free ride, Nico Robin."

Robin lowered her book to look at him with a teasing smile before returning to her book giving Natsu the time to look at her properly now that she wasn't bleeding out. She had discarded her cowboy getup in favour of a simple blue button up shirt, a pair of blue jeans and basic white shoes.

"You know I heard that you were Miss All Sunday for Baroque Works from Cobra, given the fact that you were likely on the job then why do you dress better now when your being a freeloader?"

"I wasn't aware my clothing habits were any of your business Natsu Dragneel," Robin replied without even looking up from her book. "And for your information I'm not actually freeloading rather I've made my decision on where to go next with my life."

"Is that right," Natsu replied taking a seat under the tangerine tree next to her as he summoned a tea set from his Requip Space and began to prepare it for the pair of them, smirking as Robin's eyes widened momentarily in shock.

"Y-yes."

"Then by all means do tell," Natsu said with a grin as he poured her a cup of tea, boiled to perfection using his own body heat.

"I thought about what you said that day about doing some soul searching and I've decided on my course of action."

Natsu's eyes narrowed at her twinkling eyes, something about them told him that this wouldn't benefit him in any way, shape or form.

"I have decided that you shall take responsibility for your actions."

"…"

Robin simply smiled in his direction before returning to her reading like she hadn't said anything but he wasn't allowing that this time as he snatched the book from her grasp.

"Excuse me but I think I may have just misheard you?"

"Oh no you heard correct Natsu, you will take responsibility for your actions," Robin said as she sat up from her relaxed position up against the tangerine tree. "You saved my life when I had no desire to live any further, you told me to search within myself to find my new beginning and I have found it."

"Now just hold on a minute-!"

"I have decided that you will show me the way to achieve my new beginning," Robin said with a smirk. "Without Baroque Works and Crocodile I have nothing so you might as well throw that on there as part of the debt."

"But I wasn't even the one who beat him!"

"Ah but you would have seeing as you went down there for the Poneglyph, oh yes you forgot that you left little old me lying on the grass near the hole to the ruins and I overheard everything you spoke about."

"E-everything …"

"Everything … Mr High Arbiter."

"Shit …"

"Don't worry I won't tell," Robin replied gently plucking her book from his hands. "Believe it or not but I can actually understand why you wouldn't want such information getting out and reaching the World Government, the results would be disastrous for both sides involved."

"I'm guessing you want to know more about me don't you?"

"I'll admit I'm curious especially since you have more of a plausible theory regarding the Void Century than anyone has in the last half a century but I'm willing to take things slow after all the sea can be a very dull place so perhaps you can regale me with stories of your travels?"

Natsu sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose prompting Robin to lightly giggle in response.

"Looking at you now I question why you wanted to die but I'll refrain from asking until we've gotten to know each other better so here's what I'll do in the meantime. The deal is I'll tell you some stuff in exchange for a bit about you and it MUST be the truth and trust me I'll know if you are lying to me."

"I would never dream of lying to one as ascended as you-."

"That was a lie Nico Robin," Natsu replied looking her in the eyes clearly amused now more than anything. "You lie to everyone you meet don't you?"

"You are reading my thoughts aren't you?"

"Actually I'm paying close attention to your mannerisms," Natsu replied as Robin looked away contemplatively. "I'm pretty good at picking up on the obscure mannerisms most often avoid; you are pretty good at concealing them for the most part though."

"But you didn't deny that you could in fact read my mind if you so chose to?"

"No I didn't," Natsu sighed. "I can assure you that I never read the minds of others unless I absolutely have to, our mind is our last sanctuary and I find myself loathe to defile them unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Well I suppose that is as close to a promise as I'll get to stay out of my mind so thank you for appreciating my personal space," Robin replied. "Though you still won't be getting out of your duty to me Natsu, a mere glimpse of what you are has me intrigued and I simply wish to know more …"

/Flashback End/

And so over the next two days the pair had shared a companionable relationship with Robin occasionally asking questions such as how he ended up in their world, why he didn't abuse his powers and how he came into them.

All in all things weren't all that bad and Natsu found her company to be nice with even Seilah and Mordred not finding an issue with her upon an initial interrogation. Unfortunately that meant all three quickly took to teasing him prompting him to try and nap as much as possible to avoid the ensuing embarrassment.

Looking back at Robin again he blinked several times upon realizing that she was reading the book upside down. Slowly he moved a hand to turn the book the right way up but was shocked as a hand sprouted from the spine and smacked his hand away lightly.

"I'm practicing reading this book upside down Natsu."

"Why?"

"Improving my literacy skills," Robin replied with a shrug. "You never know when being able to read something upside down might come in handy."

"You know most people would say that's a silly thing to say right?"

"But you wouldn't," Robin replied as she snuck a glance over to view his expression. "You don't appear to see it as foolish in fact do I sense a hint of pride in that look of yours?"

"I wouldn't say pride more like … respect, respect for someone who clearly isn't stupid enough to believe such a skill is worthless."

"Saber would believe it useless," Seilah giggled from behind the tangerine tree only to block a playful punch from Mordred who had since reverted to her casual outfit.

"I'm a knight I've got no time for that crap, as long as I can read my orders who cares about reading upside down!"

"Sorry Robin she was dropped on her head as a child," Natsu chuckled blocking a kick to the shin with a playful grin.

"Keep laughing Master but one day you'll thank me for being the battle genius that I am!"

"But Saber I've done that every day since we met," Natsu said dramatically as he held his hand over his heart in an overly exaggerated manner.

"Sh-shut up!"

"Do any of you find it funny that none of the Straw Hats have even realized Robin is here yet," Seilah asked eliciting a snicker from Mordred.

"She's been right under their noses and they haven't even realized!"

"I planned on introducing myself formally to Luffy but he still hasn't woken from his sleep yet, not that I'm surprised of course since the poison in Crocodile's hook is meant to be lethal to humans."

"You know I never did ask you exactly what you were doing there Robin," Natsu said as Robin tensed ever so slightly. "Care to share?"

"I wanted to read the Alabasta Poneglyph and discover if it was the Rio Poneglyph, it wasn't the one."

"Hold on a minute you can read the Poneglyphs," Natsu gasped rounding on her with an excited look.

"Y-yes!"

"That's amazing," Natsu said with a wide grin. "I was stressing out about how I was supposed to translate the ones I found yet here you are able to read them Robin!"

"What is the Rio Poneglyph," Seilah asked saving Robin from being bombarded with praise any further as Robin sighed in relief.

"The Rio Poneglyph is said to contain the true history of the world on it and I intend on discovering the truth since much of the true history was lost within the Void Century."

"Then it appears that our goals align after all Nico Robin, you seek the mysteries of the Void Century along with any others contained within the Poneglyphs, I too seek them however it is a favour for my friend Shanks."

"I had heard the others speaking about your friendship with Red Hair Shanks though given your position and the way you carry yourself I cannot say I'm surprised."

"Yeah Shanks and I actually have a bit of history see-."

A loud crashing sound met the ears of the group followed by a door being roughly slammed as Chopper's voice became more audible to the group.

"Luffy you can't be running around like that so soon after waking up, you'll reopen your injuries!"

"I'm not doing anything crazy Chopper I'm just looking for Sanji, OI SANJI!"

"Finally awake are you Luffy," Sanji said as Natsu, Mordred, Seilah and Robin leant up against the top deck railing watching the scene in amusement.

"Yeah and I'm starving!"

"Figures you'd get straight out of bed and make a runner for the kitchen," Sanji sighed with a shake of his head. "Everyone may as well come on over I'm making toasted sandwiches for lunch."

"I'll take twenty," Luffy said cheerfully as Sanji turned to leave but froze in place.

"Hold on I sense something, a presence I've not felt since …"

Looking around almost erratically his gaze soon turned to the four up on the top deck as his eyes widened to the size of dinner plates.

"Do my eyes deceive me or is that the beautifully helpful Miss All Sunday standing on the top deck!"

"WHAT," were the collective shouts from the crew minus Luffy who was instead looking at Natsu with a grin of his own as his arm extended toward the railing as he pulled himself up to stand mere inches from Natsu's face.

"You're the guy who got me and Cobra out of those ruins, Shanks' friend!"

"Yeah that's me," Natsu replied with a grin. "We haven't been introduced yet but Zoro was kind enough to let us freeload on your ship until you woke up."

"Those three basically wiped out the Marines in Alabasta and Natsu there personally took out Smoker," Zoro said as Luffy's eyes began to twinkle to an almost comical degree.

"You beat Smokey!"

"Heh, you know I'm pretty sure I called him that at one point," Natsu snickered in response as he pulled out the cigars he swiped. "Took these off of him before I left in case you needed some proof I actually beat him."

"Holy crap you must be super strong, join my crew!"

Almost everyone on the ship with the exception of Natsu, Seilah, Robin and Zoro collectively face planted at his almost immediate request.

"Sure," Natsu replied as the face plants were reapplied. "Only on the condition that these three join with me?"

"Wait a minute before we talk about adding Natsu and the others into the crew can we just take a second to talk about the fact that the right hand of Crocodile has been here for days and no one noticed," Nami snapped prompting Natsu to snicker.

"To be fair I've known she was here since the day we left Alabasta, we've been sleeping under that tangerine tree near the helm."

"We were planning on speaking up but Natsu thought it would be funny to see how long it would take you all to realize that I was here and if you didn't catch on I'd announce my presence when Luffy woke up."

"As long as you four aren't bad people then I see no reason you can't join," Luffy said as the other members of the crew looked at him like he was an idiot.

"What part of me saying she was the right hand of Crocodile don't you understand," Nami snapped prompting Luffy to shrug.

"If he thinks she's alright then I won't complain."

"But Luffy you barely know Natsu either!"

"True but I know Shanks wouldn't be friends with someone that wasn't a good person," Luffy replied with a slight edge to his voice that prompted Nami to fall silent. "Now you said Shanks had a letter for me right?"

"Yeah and he also gave me this Transponder Snail thing too though I've got no idea how they work," Natsu said as he pulled the letter and the snail out of one of his pockets and passed them to Luffy.

"Can you even read Luffy," Usopp asked as Luffy nodded.

"Makino made sure I knew how to read when I was little, anything I didn't pick up my Grandpa made sure I knew when he showed up to see me," Luffy replied as he hungrily tore the letter open and began to read.

"So just for the record we're fine with joining the crew though I'm not really sure what you want us to do, seems like you guys already have manning the ship down to a T and all."

"Well it'll just make things easier with more hands around," Zoro replied not really surprised by the question since he too felt like he barely did anything around the place. "Though considering that teleporting thing you can do perhaps you can jump to the nearest store and buy us supplies if Luffy consumes them all again."

"Mosshead I'm shocked," Sanji gasped as his cigarette fell to the ground only half used. "You actually came up with a good idea for once in your life, perhaps there really is a God!"

"What'd you say you damn perverted cook!"

"I just complimented you idiot!"

"You wanna go!"

"Natsu," Luffy said as he looked directly into his eyes once again with a serious expression only the four on the top deck could see. "We'll talk about what Shanks said later tonight, he said I should talk to you about something in here."

"Another favour I'm guessing," Natsu sighed. "Bastard already got two now he sneaks a third in when I'm not there to slap his stupid smug face …"

"Damn Shanks is smart he literally wrote everything you just said down in here," Luffy said bursting into fits of laughter.

"Like I said, slap him in his stupid smug face …"

"So are we part of the crew now or what," Mordred asked confused as Luffy sent a beaming smile their way.

"Sure you guys can join I mean the three of you came highly recommended from Shanks and you helped me out when you didn't have to," Luffy replied as he nodded toward Robin who simply smiled back.

"Well then I suppose proper introductions are in order now that we're officially part of the crew," Natsu said as he extended a hand to Luffy. "I'm Natsu Dragneel."

"My name is Seilah."

"My name is Nico Robin."

"And I'm Sab-."

"We can tell them your actual name," Natsu said cutting Mordred off who was surprised but ended up shrugging not too concerned since Natsu was usually good at picking the trustworthy sort from the trash.

"I figured Saber wasn't your real name," Nami said as the rest of the crew came up to the top deck to get better acquainted.

"Yeah sorry about that but you see she's what you call a Servant-."

"What she's a Servant," Robin gasped as Natsu raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"You know of Servants Robin?"

"I know a little, Crocodile said he desperately wanted a few under his command but none were willing to submit to him."

"Heh, well that isn't all that surprising."

"So hold on a sec what's a Servant," Usopp asked as everyone waited for an explanation.

"Basically a Servant is a being summoned using the ambient power of the world for an event known as a Holy Grail War and the Servants summoned fall into a number of different classes."

"I'm guessing she's a Saber Class Servant then," Nami said prompting Natsu to nod.

"Yes she is a Saber, the class that is known for producing some statistically powerful Servants who are skilled with the sword," Natsu replied as Zoro gained a look in the eye that made him smirk.

"So what are the other classes," Chopper asked as Natsu recalled Scathach telling him this and secretly wished he had that book again.

"Well the next class and the one that is most effective against Sabers is the Archer Class who specialize in mid to long range combat using anything from bows, firearms or even simply throwing weapons at their opponent."

The crew noticed Natsu and his friends had a solemn look on their face as Natsu clutched his jacket closer to him as if it had suddenly gotten colder.

"I also had an Archer Class Servant at my side but she was struck down several weeks ago but she gave me this coat and I swore I would always wear this coat and never another."

"The next class is the Lancer Class who specialize in longer weaponry such as the lance, the spear or the polearm," Seilah said quickly shifting the conversation back on track seeing Natsu's mood begin to dampen. "The Lancer Class are strong against Archers but weaker against Sabers."

"Think of it as a triangle where one is both good against something and bad against another," Natsu said after several moments. Sabers beat Lancers, Lancers beat Archers, Archers beat Sabers."

"Well that's not too hard to remember," Sanji said only for Natsu to smirk in response.

"Well Sanji remembering that I want you to now picture another triangle separate from that one."

"Wait there's more!"

"A whole lot more," Mordred replied with a grin, inwardly thankful that the Summoning System simply implanted all this into her mind upon being called from the Throne.

"First up on the next triangle we have the Assassin Class-."

"You mean like ninjas," Luffy asked with his eyes again twinkling like crazy.

"There are many notable ninja who have fallen into the Assassin Class but it isn't exclusive to them alone. The Assassins are basically the stealth Servants who can hide where other Servants cannot and for the most part are average in direct combat but at their best when they hold the element of surprise."

"If an Assassin Class Servant went after a human they wouldn't even know they were dead until they saw their throat slit, that's how good an Assassin is," Seilah added as Chopper and Usopp unconsciously moved a hand toward their necks.

"Next is the Rider Class Servants who, as the name implies, possess some form of transportation be it a horse or a ship. Rider Class Servants are weak to Assassins but strong against the final class in this triangle."

"The Caster Class Servants," Seilah sighed remembering Alice's inevitable death after being sent back to Equilibrius by Natsu.

"Caster Class Servants are Wizards, Magicians, Warlocks, Priests, Necromancers and all other form of Arcane title you can think of. I also had a Caster Class Servant who also died several weeks ago; they are strong against Assassins but weak against Riders."

"So there are six different classes of these Servants," Nami said as she seemingly wrote down all the information specifically how Natsu had described it, complete with the triangles.

"Well now here's where the proverbial spanner in the works because this next class is effective against every class but also weak to every class, they are known as the Berserkers and I trust that I don't need to explain why they are known as such?"

The crew collectively shook their heads already aware of exactly why one would be classified as a Berskerker, it's in the name after all.

"Now this next class is an interesting one, the Ruler Class. Those who fall under this category are often seen as either Saints, Divine or some other kind of Holy being. The Ruler Class do not deal any extra damage to the previously mentioned classes however they do less damage to the Ruler in turn."

"Well I mean that's fair since they don't get any kind of advantage over the others," Chopper said as Natsu shook his head.

"There is one class that is effective against the Ruler Class that I know of known as the Avenger Class which is comprised of Servants who desired vengeance in their lives at one point or another. Avengers are neutral to the other classes but are strong against Rulers."

"That's a lot of stuff to remember," Sanji said shaking his head. "Are there any more classes?"

"Well there is the Shielder Class and I've only met one person bearing that class and from what I've heard she's a special case and the other I've also met only once and they were known as the Foreigner Class."

"Shielder I can understand but what would Foreigner be, someone who moved somewhere far away in their life or something," Usopp asked prompting Natsu to chuckle in response.

"No Usopp the Foreigner Class Servants are actually beings who have survived or overcome the influence of malicious entities or spiteful Gods," Natsu replied as the entire crew gaped at him. "The Foreigner Class apparently utilize the powers of the being they survived or conquered."

"That's crazy!"

"Yeah well the world is a big place full of all sorts of crazy things Usopp," Natsu replied shaking his head. "Anyway now that you all know about Servants I'll give you all a fair warning it'd likely take all of you to defeat one as you are now."

"So these Servants are monsters then," Zoro asked as he eyed Mordred with interest. "That means your skill with the blade must surpass most others then since you are a Saber?"

"Yeah I was once a famous knight who ended up in the history books," Mordred replied. "And now that Master has finished regurgitating Classes for dummies I can properly introduce myself. I'm Mordred Pendragon, nice to meet you all again!"

Everyone began shaking hands with Sanji ducking downstairs to grab a few trays, loading them up with sandwiches before making his way back upstairs where the entire crew seemed to have taken up relaxed positions content to chat amongst themselves and get to know each other.

As the various members of the crew spoke Natsu was wondering what it was that Shanks had written in that letter for Luffy and why he wouldn't have asked him in person? He could only hope that it wasn't something bad.

/Sacred Holy Land Of Mariejois – Room Of Authority/

"Are we sure this came directly from him?"

"You saw the message appear, it had his work written all over it."

"But how can we be certain!"

"If you do not believe in his words then perhaps you could go upstairs and disturb him?"

"I think we'd all pass on that one."

Five elderly men sat around a table looking between several pieces of paper with pictures of certain notable figures on display. The men all had frowns marring their features as their eyes all lingered on a familiar pinkette, an armoured knight and a beautiful black haired Demon.

Highest Authorities Of The World Government

The Five Great Elders

The Gorosei

"Do we have any idea why they showed up in Alabasta?"

"None."

"Too many Marines were killed before much information could get back to us; we only have their real names because of him."

"That one is a Servant without a doubt," one of the Elders said as he pointed toward the picture of the knight. "They look similar to that other knight we had to put a bounty on several months ago, the one with the lance that destroyed that island near Sabaody."

"Not another one …"

"These Servants are both a blessing and a curse."

"What about the black haired one?"

"He said she is an actual Demon believe it or not!"

"Oh I could believe it after seeing some of these photos; she butchered any who stood in her way."

"And then there is Dragneel himself who apparently toyed with Commodore Smoker as if he were a recruit, defeated him with a kick, a tap to the neck and a strange ability we've never seen before."

"What's worse is that according to the report from Commodore Smoker Dragneel has joined up with that upstart Straw Hat Luffy," one of the Elders growled as he tossed two posters onto the table amongst the others.

"That is concerning, Monkey D Luffy and Roronoa Zoro are quickly proving themselves to be part of the next generation of notorious Pirates, for Natsu Dragneel and his allies to align themselves under one flag …"

"Do we know where they are headed?"

"Based on their last known location the group appears to be heading toward Jaya," one of the Elders sighed.

"Then that gives us time to circulate the new bounties," another Elder said as he withdrew another poster and placed it on top of all the others. "But first we must focus on dealing with the aftermath of the Alabasta incident."

Wanted

Dead Or Alive

Sir Crocodile

Bounty – 81 000 000 Berries

"We need to begin the necessary preparations to replace Crocodile, his defeat and subsequent arrest already has tipped the balance of power that hung upon a knife's edge!"

"Do we have any candidates?"

"Crocodile was only defeated two days ago so there hasn't been enough time to scout for any potential recruits."

"We need to replace him with someone stronger than Crocodile; his defeat against a rookie Pirate like Straw Hat is unacceptable!"

"Agreed."

"The pool of suitable candidates is slim however we do know that there are suitable candidates in place, we must simply act quickly to ensure Crocodile's presence among the Seven is not noticed by the Four Emperors."

"I believe we should also address this," one of the Elders said as he placed a picture of Natsu placing Robin on the ground onto the desk as the other Elders sharply drew breath.

"That girl still lives!"

"Of course she does," another Elder growled as he tossed her bounty poster onto the table.

Wanted

Dead Or Alive

Nico Robin

Bounty – 79 000 000 Berries

"She has allied herself with Dragneel?"

"So it seems, likely in order to gain protection similar to what Crocodile provided her in the past."

"If she is allied with Dragneel and the Straw Hats her bounty must increase, he said that Dragneel might be investigating the true history and with Nico Robin at his side …"

"It is clear what must be done, a statement must be made that Dragneel and his allies are not welcome in our world!"

"You would be wise to hold your tongue speaking of such things as other worlds," another Elder said shaking his head. "He doesn't want word getting out about that, not after the discovery of beings living on one of the moons."

"Of course but still we must make a statement that Dragneel will not go unchallenged and that Nico Robin is not safe with him, perhaps it will spook her enough to try and flee leading to our agents gaining an opportunity to capture her."

"He doesn't want to draw major attention to Dragneel's presence," one of the Elders said massaging his temples. "Apparently doing so would derail a number of important plans for the world's future."

"Then what do we do?"

"I know exactly what we do; here are the new bounty numbers I propose …"

"Gentlemen," an amused voice drawled as a man emerged from a Blood Red portal. "Since it appears you are all grossly incompetent in dealing with Dragneel I shall do it for you. Here are the new bounty numbers, hand these to Sengoku and if he questions you simply say that the higher number is a precautionary measure."

"O-of course," the Five Elders said in unison as they bowed before the man who barely managed to hide the twinge of disgust in his features.

"I trust that this matter will be resolved in due time," the man said as his eyes slowly moved over each and every one of them before he opened a portal and left.

The Gorosei sighed and made the necessary preparations to deal with Sengoku hoping that they would perform the job up to his standards.

Hope you all enjoyed and I'll see you in the next one!
