Hi guys Azza here!

So first off little warning for this chapter I decided to do something many people have been asking me to do for awhile now this was my first attempt at writing something like that so if its bad at least take that into consideration before you roast me please haha!

Anyway onto the reviews!

Erasenpai946 – The Yonkou and Yonkou Commanders as well as the Admirals will be much more powerful in my version than in Canon so you don't have to worry about Natsu not being challenged.

Ouroborousdragon – Yeah the more major canon deviations begin around this point since anyone who watches or reads One Piece knows what two beastly arcs are coming next and I've got quite a good idea as to how that is all gonna go down.

As for Robin leaving the crew I'm going to be playing the mental game on that one, spending most of her life running isn't going to change in five minutes just because someone strong shows up but you'll see what I mean as the story goes on.

And yeah I actually hate this arc too but Foxy is necessary because I plan on doing the later One Piece films and I can't remember which one it ties to but Adventures in Nebulandia or whatever it's called has Foxy in it so it was kind of necessary to establish him now.

Anyway on with the story!

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

Brief Skirmish With An Admiral

/Natsu's POV/

Natsu watched Aokiji's movements carefully as he lazily strolled toward the water's edge before turning back to face everyone revealing an all too familiar mark on his right hand however it seemed that I was the only one to notice it for the moment.

"I couldn't help but hear that you and your horse were looking to cross to the next island," Aokiji said motioning toward Tonjit who nodded seemingly unaware of the tension. "Here this should help you out a bit."

Turning back around Aokiji placed the tip of his finger on the water's surface and to the surprise of everyone the ocean froze. The Straw Hats were stunned at the display however Natsu was stunned for an entirely different reason.

"Such mastery over ice! To freeze the ocean as far as the eye can see in this climate takes considerable power yet he did it effortlessly!"

"Oh my goodness," Tonjit cried as he ran over to the frozen ocean and jumped onto its surface. "Thank you so much good sir!"

"No problem," Aokiji yawned as Tonjit quickly ran back toward Shelly and the Straw Hats.

"Well it looks like we get to depart today eh Shelly," Tonjit cheered as he hopped onto the back of his horse. "Thank you all for helping me out!"

Tonjit and Shelly departed across the frozen ocean with no one saying so much as a word until he faded from view. With another yawn Aokiji turned around and eyed each of the Straw Hats with a calculative gaze before removing his hand from his pocket.

"Yup I've decided, was gonna let you guys go but looking at you," Aokiji said pointing at Robin. "You I can't simply let walk."

"Then why," Robin snapped surprising everyone with her snap in composure. "Why even bother letting me go in the first place!"

"Wanted to see what would happen, how you'd turn out," Aokiji replied with a wave of his hand. "At first you were promising but then the reports started coming in as crew after crew you wound up with were consumed by your curse, even Crocodile a Warlord was eventually brought down by it."

"No … it's not like that anymore," Robin cried as she crossed her arms in front of her in what appeared to be a defensive stance. "I'm not that kind of person anymore, I've changed!"

"Facts don't lie," Aokiji said as he moved to raise his right arm only for a dozen to begin materializing from it all aimed toward his neck. "Really? I thought you were smarter than that Nico Robin?"

The hands seemed to fall into Aokiji's body as ice began to cover the left side of his body as well as the ground below him before a sudden pulse froze the entire area. None of the Straw Hats escaped as they all found themselves frozen in place not even having the chance to react.

"I'm ending this little crew here Nico Robin, perhaps your curse was what brought this fate on them?"

Aokiji went to take a step forward only to find himself slipping as the ice began to melt, a searing heat drawing his attention toward Natsu who had thawed out of his icy prison with the rest of the Straw Hats following suit moments later.

"Wh-wh-what the hell," Usopp said shakily. "W-we got frozen!"

"Doesn't matter," Aokiji said as he knelt down and plucked an exposed piece of grass and using his power turned it into an ice spear that seemed to resist the extreme heat. "You still die here Nico Robin.

Throwing the lance no one even saw it leave the Admiral's hand however a shattering sound followed by a choked sob drew their attention to Robin's location. Standing in front of her with his arm held out to the far right Natsu frowned at Aokiji who simply raised an eyebrow in response.

"Natsu," Robin choked out only for Natsu to place a hand on her still half frozen head.

"All of you, this one is far beyond you."

"You aren't seriously going to fight an Admiral alone are you," Nami shouted only for a fierce glare to silence her.

"All of you are still half frozen and need to get yourselves warm quickly; my flames can only do so much before they begin to burn you! Get the hell out of here!"

"But surely there's something we can-!"

"Nami," Luffy roared as he shakily rose to his feet. "Do what he says."

"WHAT!"

"As much as I hate doing this Natsu's right," Zoro said with a frustrated look. "We all got frozen in an instant; we didn't even see it coming. Natsu so far is the only one who has a chance against this guy; I don't even think Mordred could beat him."

"As much as I hate to agree with the moss head he's right, this guy is a Navy Admiral and we're simply not strong enough to fight them yet. As Natsu smacked us around he showed us that there is still a lot we've got to learn so we're better off retreating now so we can fight again another day."

"You all think I'll just let you go huh," Aokiji cut in as he sent out another pulse which began to freeze everything over again however Natsu erected a Crash Barrier behind him, shielding the group from its effects.

"Natsu," Luffy said as he turned around to meet the Captain's eyes. "Don't you dare die against this bastard, not when you've got so much to teach us!"

"I'll be fine," Natsu replied reassuringly as Nami and Sanji helped Robin to her feet, her legs still frozen completely preventing her from walking. "Don't worry Robin I'll sort this mess out."

"Natsu don't do this," Robin pleaded as she tried to take several steps forward only to stumble and be caught by Sanji. "I've seen your power Natsu but I've also seen theirs, don't put your life on the line for someone like me!"

"Honestly," Natsu sighed shaking his head as he turned around and began walking toward Aokiji, his height increasing with each step as his hair changed from Salmon Pink to Pitch Black. "I would've thought you'd have remembered all my stories by now Robin, no one messes with my friends."

"Why do you have to make this complicated Dragneel," Aokiji sighed as the two stood at equal height, faces less than a metre apart as Natsu began to release his Magical Power whilst ice began to form behind Aokiji.

"Well Robin is my responsibility now, the price I pay for saving her it seems so its only fair that her problems become my problems."

"Don't be foolish Natsu and just run!"

"Nico Robin is your responsibility? Everywhere she goes people die, you are just going to end up another statistic if you try and shoulder that heavy curse of hers."

"Is that so," Natsu replied as his lip curled upward, a snarl beginning to form on his face. "From what I can see you are just another dog of the World Government going after those weaker than them whilst letting the powerful threats run wild!"

Both Natsu and Aokiji lurched forward into a fierce head butt that sent the pair skidding backward with Natsu blocking out Robin's cries for him to stop.

"Bear her burden," Aokiji said with what sounded like venom in his voice. "A monster like her doesn't deserve such kindness!"

Swinging his arm upward he created a trident made of ice and hurled it in Natsu's direction with surprising speed however Natsu was ready as he raised his Crash Barrier to shatter it. What Natsu wasn't expecting however was for the trident to become coated in the same black substance Shanks had used against him back in the Elemental Nations.

The attack smashed through his Crash Barrier and pierced his chest prompting the Straw Hats to cry out in shock, Robin most of all as massive ice spikes began sprouting from his body riddling it with holes, blood pouring from the wounds.

"What-!"

"I'm an Ice Human," Aokiji explained as he summoned another ice trident and twirled it between his fingers. "I ate the Ice Ice Fruit, a Logia Class Devil Fruit. Ice Ice – Trident!"

Again Aokiji threw the trident at Natsu however this time he was prepared as he activated his Hybrid's Aura, leaning sharply to the left whilst snapping off the end of the trident still embedded within him as his body began to emit steam.

"Good for you," Natsu replied with a growl as his wounds quickly began healing. "But don't think that just because you ate a Logia Devil Fruit its gonna save you from a firm beating!"

Charging forward Natsu prepared a Fire Dragon Monarch's Demolition Fist however Aokiji avoided the attack by performing a similar dodge to his own although he leant sharply to the right.

"That attack was rather dangerous …"

"He's using Haki just like Shanks," Ahnkseram noted as Natsu jumped backward to avoid a series of ice spikes that shot up from the ground.

"Well the Admirals are supposed to be some of the strongest people in this world, that Haki he used on his ice trident was powerful enough to break through an ordinary Crash Barrier so I'd better not take this guy lightly anymore."

"Your friends don't appear to be the brightest do they," Aokiji said prompting Natsu to look over in their direction realizing they had stuck around to watch the fight.

"Oi you idiots what are you-!"

Ducking in order to avoid a barrage of ice shards Natsu shot off toward Aokiji who jumped into the air and seemed to reach into his coat only to unleash a barrage of the same trident he'd been struck with earlier.

"Ice Ice – Ice Block Partisan Storm!"

"Hybrid's Aura: Fire Monarch's Crimson Volley!"

Flying backward Natsu returned fire with his own barrage of flames as the lower half of Aokiji's body morphed into what looked like powdered snow as he flew along still firing the Partisan Storm.

"Why would you go so far for Nico Robin, a woman you barely even know if you only joined up with the Straw Hats in Alabasta," Aokiji asked as I rose to his height.

"Like I said before she's my responsibility now," Natsu replied as his fists ignited with crimson flame. "We all carry baggage and it's up to her to decide when she wants to share her past!"

"I'd heard you were wild but this … this is just ridiculous," Aokiji sighed as Natsu vanished and appeared behind him throwing a punch at his back only for Aokiji's body to open up allowing his fist to pass right through.

"What-!"

"You didn't think it'd be that easy did you?"

Vanishing from sight Natsu appeared before Aokiji prepared to strike only to receive a fierce blow to the face sending him reeling backward by an icy Haki infused fist. As he flew back however Natsu coated his foot in Hybrid's Aura and managed to strike Aokiji across the face knocking him toward the ground.

It was interesting to watch as his body broke down into an ice sheet and shattered upon impact only to reform with zero battle damage present where he'd been struck. Landing on the ground several feet away Natsu waited for a moment before Aokiji raised his right arm and prepared to attack.

"Ice Ice – Ice Block Avalanche!"

Performing a back flip Natsu kicked a rather large block of ice away sending it flying off into the distance before charging at Aokiji with his right fist poised to strike.

"Hybrid's Aura: Fire Dragon Monarch's Demolition Fist!"

Aokiji crossed his arms in front of him defensively as Natsu struck him which seemed to be enough to only cause the Admiral to skid backward a fair distance, the explosion not seeming to do much aside from singeing his coat a little.

"Tell me something Aokiji," Natsu said dusting off his front as the pair stood opposite each other, coats flapping in the wind with Aokiji cocking his head to the side. "Who is your Servant?"

"Heh, noticed that did you? Yeah I've got a Servant but I'm not about to tell you anything about-."

"I knew he was here!"

"Oh no," Aokiji groaned as he seemed to power down prompting Natsu to cautiously do the same.

"Why would you leave me behind when HE was going to be here!? How dare you do that to me Kuzan!"

"Honestly woman can you just shut up," Aokiji groaned reverting to his bored look.

"You should show me more respect," the newcomer snapped only for Aokiji to yawn in response prompting them to growl before looking over in Natsu's direction. "Oh my I almost forgot why I came rushing here in the first place!"

Natsu was taken aback when the person darted over and gripped him tightly in a bone crushing hug.

"I've waited so long for this day!"

"I'm sorry but who are you?"

The person stopped and pulled back a moment seemingly scanning his face before an even darker blush erupted onto their face as they bowed before him.

"S-so sorry Natsu my dear I had not realized that we have yet to meet, my apologies!"

One Of The Greatest Military Powers

The Ice Queen

General Esdeath (Caster)

"You know that your name is classified right," Aokiji sighed tiredly prompting Esdeath to gain a murderous look before rounding on Aokiji.

"Don't you DARE ruin this moment for me Kuzan!"

"I'm just being honest …"

"So you are one of the top tier people in the World Government like Aokiji here then?"

"Yes of course I am," Esdeath chirped with her personality pulling a complete one eighty yet again. "I was called forth by this useless man here because somehow we are compatible however I for one believe such a thing to be entirely impossible! Sure we might share mastery over the same element but beyond that we are NOTHING alike!"

"Can you just leave me alone I was in the middle of something," Aokiji sighed only for Esdeath to stomp over to him and pull sharply on his ear. "OI OI WHAT THE HELL!"

"You said we would be simply scouting them out not fighting them Kuzan, no more of this petty grudge nonsense we have bigger fish to fry!"

"Did you not see what Dragneel was doing how is that not a big fish!"

"Both of you were holding back so what's the point in continuing, we have a mission Kuzan that must be finished so that we can report back to the the Commander in Chief!"

"Argh fine," Aokiji groaned as he removed Esdeath's grip on his ear. "I was getting bored anyway!"

To Natsu's shock Aokiji simply began walking away, returning toward the frozen sea as he pulled a bike out from behind a nearby tree. Turning around he looked Natsu directly in the eyes as he mounted it saying one last thing before departing.

"By the way I'm telling on you about how strong you are."

"WHAT ARE YOU FIVE," Natsu snapped as Esdeath closed the distance between them again pulling him into a hug.

"This is the only time I can keep the World Government off of your back darling, next time we will have to fight and as much as I would like to fight you I despise the World Government more. Do what you must to ensure you and your friends survive darling but whatever you do don't let them be taken by them lest they suffer fates worse than death."

Natsu stood stock still as Esdeath licked up his neck before nibbling on his earlobe for a moment before pulling away, licking her lips with a fierce blush on her face.

"How long I have waited to do that, bye!"

Natsu watched as Esdeath ran off after Aokiji, his thoughts too preoccupied with her warning to even comprehend her later actions.

"It sounds like the World Government definitely aren't very good doesn't it," Ahnkseram sighed. "And to think not only do they have powerhouses like Aokiji in it but powerful Servants like Esdeath."

"You sensed her power too?"

"Of course I did I sensed it the moment she began approaching at speeds matching Grimmjow's in his Resureccion Form!"

"At least the others left before she showed up otherwise they may have tried to jump in and fight her and that would not have ended well."

"They're back at the ship," Natsu said with a slight frown as he concentrated on trying to locate them. "Mordred is there too, with that bloody lion!"

"You know she's going to try and convince you to keep it don't you?"

"It's not happening!"

"Obviously it's not because the thing is too large to fit on the ship and wouldn't survive being moved around through our methods, either way I doubt you'll have much of an argument with her anyway."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Ahnkseram replied prompting Natsu to sigh tiredly as he vanished and appeared on the top deck of the ship looking down at the entire crew who seemed to have gotten themselves thawed out and were now rugged up in blankets sipping on hot chocolate.

Chopper was the first to notice his arrival as his nose twitched at the strengthening of his scent as the reindeer human looked up at him sitting on the railing simply observing them.

"Natsu, you're alive!"

"See I told you guys he'd be fine," Luffy said with a wide grin only for Nami to smack him over the back of the head.

"You idiot no one could know if he'd win or not!"

Natsu's eyes weren't on the rest of the crew as they each began arguing amongst themselves like usual instead he briefly glanced at Mordred and knew they would be having words later based on the narrowed eyes. Shaking his head he dared look at Robin and to the surprise of no one she simply stared at him wide eyed as if his mere presence was the antithesis of all logic and reason.

"Now that Natsu's back I vote we get the hell out of here," Usopp shouted which seemed to gain a quick chorus of agreement prompting the crew to disperse as the ship set off from Long Ring Long Land.

Not even bothering to move Natsu kept his eyes on Robin basically telling her that she would make the first move, regardless of whatever dark history she had he wouldn't be cowed into feeling guilty and apologizing for what he'd done.

It took less than five minutes for her to crack as she marched up to the top deck and grabbed his right hand, dragging him into the girls cabin which was unarguably the best place to have a private conversation without the risk of being overheard.

The moment the door slammed shut Natsu took stock of the room and suppressed a snort at how untidy it was with many of their more personal clothing strewn about the place. Avoiding them as he walked Natsu sat down on the bed and looked up at Robin with the same blank expression which seemed to only anger her further.

"Well!?"

"Well what?"

"What do you have to say for yourself, what was that!?"

"What was what-?"

"DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH ME NATSU DRAGNEEL, NOT ABOUT THIS," Robin screeched as he fell silent. "Why did you do it?"

"Why did I engage Aokiji you mean?"

"Yes!"

"Let me answer your question with a question Robin," Natsu said as he slowly rose from the bed and walked over to her. "Had I done nothing what do you think would have happened?"

"…"

"Aokiji would've ended all of your lives then and there and you know it," Natsu continued rather forcefully as he placed his hands on Robin's shoulders. "You would have preferred I stand by and do nothing Robin and allow all of them to die because of your selfishness!?"

"…"

"Where's that big mouth of yours now Robin, gonna get mad at me some more in the hope that I feel guilty and apologize? Too bad because I'm not and never will apologize for defending my friends!"

"You don't understand," Robin said through grit teeth as she reached up and grabbed both sides of Natsu's face as she glared at him. "You have no idea just how much that man and the World Government have taken from me and how easily they could do it again!"

"Then explain it to me because I fail to see why I should be afraid of them?"

"What will it take for me to convince you to not put your life at risk for me again," Robin asked prompting Natsu to take a step back and eye her critically.

"What?"

"Just tell me what you want and I shall give it to you in order to get you out of my past mistakes," Robin replied as she narrowed her eyes deep in thought. "Perhaps this will suffice …"

Natsu watched as Robin stripped herself down to nothing with no shame whatsoever, her eyes seemingly resolved to perform such a service to keep him out of her business. Had this occurred under any other circumstance he might have taken the offer however this was something far beyond a game of lust as Robin slowly advanced toward him with a visible sway in her hips.

"Stop this Robin …"

"Do not lie to me Natsu I know you want to, all you have to do is agree to keep out of my personal life."

"No."

"What!?"

"I said no," Natsu repeated prompting Robin to take several steps backward in shock.

"Wh-what do you mean no!"

"I refuse to let you suffer any further Robin; you are my responsibility now after all. You might have thought it was some form of leverage over me but let's not joke around for one moment and think that you," Natsu said as he advanced toward her, lifting her chin slightly upward so that his glare was properly received. "Hold any power over me in any way, shape or form. You believed you could blackmail me with the idea that your life was in my hands didn't you?"

"…"

"Well hate to break it to you but I'm not like anyone you've ever dealt with before, just because you might not want me involved if I choose to do so then that is it. No debates, no arguments about what ifs or rejections you must simply deal with the fact that I am involved."

"But that's utter foolishness!"

"Stubbornness is both a Draconic and Demonic trait so I got it twice over, unfortunately for you. All you can do now is deal with the consequences of your actions Robin, like it or not I'll fight any Admiral or whatever else that comes for you because it's as you said … you are MY responsibility now aren't you?"

"Those are just words, why risk yourself over them!"

"Words often hold far greater weight than fists Robin and when I arrived in that chamber in Alabasta and heard your declaration to die I saved you anyway, not because I felt sorry for you but because I could hear the lies within your every word. You say you want to die but when Aokiji showed up you showed fear and even tried to fight, someone who wants to die wouldn't do that."

"You don't know anything about me, about my life so just stay out of it!"

"I'll stop only once you stop lying to yourself and become who you are truly meant to be," Natsu said as he made his way toward the door. "You are not a monster Nico Robin no matter what Aokiji or anyone else says."

Marching out and slamming the door behind him he was met with odd looks though no one asked him anything as he moved toward the lower deck.

"I'm going to have a bath, I have chunks of flesh and blood all over me," he growled before walking into the bathroom and vanishing his clothing.

Filling the tub with hot water Natsu sighed as he descended into its comforting depths as his stress and annoyance at the day's events began to fade from his mind. For a brief moment he thought he felt at peace but that was shattered when the door opened to the bathroom.

"Who is it," Natsu asked tiredly without even bothering to look.

"It's me …"

His eyes slowly opened as he heard the sound of another entering the tub and looked over to see Mordred sliding in, her much more reserved demeanour seemingly at the forefront though a blush was clearly present.

"Hello Mordred, not angry at me too are you because if you are then I don't want to deal with it right now?"

"I'm not angry I'm … frustrated."

"About?"

"They said you fought a Navy Admiral yet I wasn't there at your side," Mordred said looking down at her reflection in the water. "I was angry before because you wouldn't let me keep Leonard but I pretty much knew I couldn't anyway but in acting childish I wasn't there to help."

"Are you seriously apologizing over that," Natsu asked surprised as he moved closer to her. "Mordred you know I can take care of myself."

"Yeah I know that but this is the first time I've done something so foolish, usually we are separated because either circumstances require it or have evolved into such an event that makes it impossible for us to be together at that moment."

"Are you feeling alright Mordred," Natsu asked softly as he placed a hand on her forehead and ran it through her bangs. "I know we discussed what happened during your fight in the Upper Yard but such a shift in your very personality thanks to Clarent might have had more of an effect on you than I thought?"

"When Father possessed Excalibur it was said that he went through the same thing I am as lifetimes worth of knowledge was crammed into her mind, even now I find myself speaking differently than what I usually do though at times my old self breaks through …"

"Mordred …"

"Will I still be me once it is all over or will I become someone else," Mordred whispered with Natsu pulling her in for a hug.

"The fact that you can ask yourself that question still is a good sign Mordred. Perhaps we should have a word with your Father and ask more about the process, perhaps this is a test to see if you truly are worthy of the title of King?"

"You think so?"

"It's entirely possible," Natsu replied as Mordred locked eyes with him.

"Thank you … my Master," Mordred sighed as Natsu leant in and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"You are precious to me Mordred and I will always be here for you."

"Natsu?"

"Yeah?"

Feeling his hand being moved by Mordred's own he understood at once, the blush on her face only deepening as he leant in and the two shared a chaste kiss, a slight mewl emenating from the usually tomboyish Servant as Natsu wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her onto his lap.

"Mordred …"

"Natsu …"

The two leant in and shared another kiss however this one was filled with much more passion than the last with Mordred gripping tightly onto Natsu's hair as a slight moan escaped her lips.

"D-don't-!"

"Stop," Natsu gasped as Mordred sank down slightly to match his level, a look of pure bliss on her face as Natsu moved toward her neck nipping in random spots as Mordred began to move.

"N-!"

"It's alright Mordred," Natsu said breathlessly as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Take all the time you need."

"Don't be an idiot," was the only response given before Mordred leant in and kissed Natsu again this time biting on his lower lip drawing blood. "I'm not so weak as to be bested so easily."

"Is that so," Natsu replied as he ran his left hand down Mordred's chest where it disappeared under the water.

A sudden gasp followed by a guttural moan escaped Mordred as her whole body began to shake prompting Natsu to chuckle lowly.

"You talk a big game but it seems you are quite 'sensitive' when it comes to putting your words into action Mordred."

"How about … you just shut up," Mordred panted as she wrapped her legs around his waist. "One time isn't enough; I've waited for this for quite some time!"

"Truly?"

"Yes …"

"How long?"

"It was around the time we went to the meeting between all the Kings and you met my Father, both versions to be precise, yet even after that you still believed in me as the right choice of Servant. Most would have preferred my Father but you genuinely believed in me however it wasn't until you fixed me up during the Fourth Great Ninja War that I found myself acknowledging the attachment I formed to you in its entirety."

"You had doubts that I would want you as my Servant upon meeting Arthuria and Artoria?"

"Yes though I now know such thoughts were foolish," Mordred replied with a soft smile. "Looking at how far we've come together only makes me believe that out of everyone we were destined to meet and defeat Solomon and anyone else who tries to pull anything along the way."

"See that's a much better mindset to have than doubting yourself because you ran off with that lion isn't it?"

"Yeah it is isn't it," Mordred sighed as she began gently rocking her hips back and forth. "I couldn't have asked for a better Master than you."

"Nor could I have ever hoped for a better Servant than you Mordred my first rate Knight."

"How much time do we have Natsu," Mordred asked as her grip on him tightened considerably.

Snapping his fingers a Gravity Seal appeared on the door putting enough force onto it so that no one could open it before looking back at Mordred with a cheeky grin.

"As much time as you want."

"Good," Mordred replied as the two shared another chaste kiss.

/Somewhere In The New World/

"My King the Marines have even more reinforcements!"

"More reinforcements you say? Then we shall meet them half way, crushing our foes underfoot! This island shall soon be ours as the Celestials suffer yet another blow to their pride!"

"But my King there are at least eight ships in total!"

"Then what are we waiting for," the King replied as he raised his right fist above his head. "HONOR AND GLORY AWAIT US MY FRIENDS, LET US CRUSH ALL WHO DARE DENY THE PATH OF CONQUEST!"

"He's not listening is he …"

"I received news upon the Transponder Snail that the King of Knights defeated not only a dozen ships but also fought with the agents of the Celestials Cipher Pol! I shall not lose the race, bring us in!"

The crew collectively sighed as the fleet moved in to engage the Marines, the flag of Eden flying proudly with the Macedonian flag also present on this set of ships.

"I'm taking you out today King Of Conquerors," a voice boomed from the lead Marine ship which brought an ear to ear grin to the King's face.

"HO, IS THAT WHO I THINK IT IS!?"

The King rushed to the front of his ship and locked eyes with his opponent, both grinning in a similar fashion as they each cracked their knuckles in preparation for the coming fight.

"IT IS YOU, TODAY I SHALL EMERGE VICTORIOUS GARP!"

Hero Of The Marines

Vice Admiral Of The Marines

Monkey D Garp

I've been training even more since our last fight so this time my fist is gonna pound justice right into that thick skull of yours, Alexander!"

Former King Of Macedonia

King Of Conquerors

Iskandar

Alexander The Great (Rider)

Bounty – 850,000,000 Berries

"I eagerly await the challenge Garp," Iskandar replied as both jumped off of their respective ships each cocking back their fists before smashing them together creating a massive shockwave that parted the sea below them.

"I have been eagerly awaiting out battle Garp, for an old man you are powerful!"

"I aged gracefully but you are just as strong," Garp replied as the pair blew each other back onto their respective ships. "You Servants are quite the challenge to fight!"

"For a living person to combat a Servant it is a sign of great strength, you should be proud of your power Garp!"

"Oh I am," Garp replied with a grin as he dusted himself off. "I'll only add to that pride when I take you down!"

"HAH! SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE WARRIOR! PREPARE TO FEEL THE MIGHT OF THE CHARGE OF ISKANDAR!"

The pair both leapt from their respective ships yet again however this time Garp had coated his fist in Armament Haki whilst Iskandar began putting out a monstrous amount of power with the pair clashing yet again this time blowing all the ships backward due to the shockwaves coming from their clash.

Tales From The Tale Verse

Aizen And Salem's Great Media Empire Expansion VII

Actions Have Consequences

/Aizen's POV/

"This is gold," Aizen crowed as both he and Salem shared a glass of fine wine. "With this we have our story!"

"Do you have any idea how we should edit this footage Aizen?"

"I would have thought you of all people would have known the answer to that Salem," Aizen replied with a smug grin prompting her to lean in closer.

"You know?"

"Of course I know, there was only ever one option for such footage!"

"Really!?"

"Of course," Aizen cried as he pulled a piece of paper out from his desk and hastily scribbled something onto it.

"This is …"

"Heh, speechless aren't you," Aizen said with a smirk. "A bold plan to be sure but it is one that will gain us fans across all the higher realms!"

"This idea … IS ABSOLUTELY STUPID!"

"What-!?"

"You just wrote down that we're just going to use an unedited version of it and talk over it for twenty minutes, what the hell is wrong with you!?"

"It's a solid plan Salem you just don't want to try it in fear of it failing!"

"There's nothing solid about it," Salem snapped back as the pair began to butt heads. "For a short while I had thought you much more intelligent however it appears I was mistaken!"

"Don't act like you are the prime representation of intelligent, putting that garbage about being Equilibrius' number one Devil what a joke!"

"Take that back Sosuke Aizen!"

"Make me," Aizen growled as he summoned his Zankupato to his side with Salem bringing out her wand as an absurd amount of Devil's Aura began to explode in the room.

"That is quite enough from you two."

The Auras ceased immediately, crushed under the weight of Arch Devil's Aura as Lucifer appeared in the room with a deep frown on his face.

"L-Lord Lucifer!"

"I've been watching your little escapade across the realms and I am not pleased with the amount of chaos the pair of you have caused."

"We didn't do anything too bad though did we," Aizen asked as Lucifer growled in annoyance.

"Didn't do anything too bad? Aizen the two of you have altered events in not one but TWO worlds! Destiny, Fate and Time are working hard to ensure the damage is minimized but two worlds are having their Destiny and Fate entirely rewritten!"

"We're in trouble aren't we?"

"This little news expansion you have planned ends here," Lucifer said as the full weight of his Aura silenced the pair. "Also I was disgusted to see what the two of you were doing to poor Rory so I freed her of your little contract Aizen. Picking on a lower tier Devil have you no shame!"

"What will be our punishment Lord Lucifer," Salem sighed knowing full well they were too deep to try and escape it now.

"The both of you are being put on restrictive movement for the next year, neither of you may go anywhere using the portals aside from your own home world. You will also lose a percentage of your Aura until I deem you both capable of having it without bringing shame upon the Devils."

Lucifer's eyes flashed as both Aizen and Salem felt a portion of their power vanish, sure they were still powerful however it was power that had been with them for longer than either could care to remember and it hurt feeling it vanish in an instant.

"Do not try and find a way to get your power and travel rights back or I will withhold them permanently," Lucifer said with a frown. "I am disappointed in the both of you."

Vanishing from sight Aizen and Salem sighed in defeat, their previous squabble utterly forgotten as they both focused on the void within themselves.

"Well that has to be the worst luck we could have gotten," Salem sighed as she drank from her wine glass in a rather unladylike fashion.

"Alucard probably ratted us out."

"Bastard …"

"There is nothing either of us can do now aside from trying to atone I suppose," Aizen sighed as he turned to look out the window. "I suppose we should be grateful that it was Lord Lucifer himself giving us our punishment and not the Council otherwise we could have been killed."

"Indeed …"

"Listen Salem I'm sorry for being an ass earlier I suppose my pride didn't want me to be wrong."

"I suppose I should have been nicer too," Salem sighed. "I suppose we should just call it even and move on hmm?"

"Agreed."

"So I heard that there is a certain Vampire who needs to be brought down a peg or two, care to join me?"

"I wouldn't have it any other way Salem," Aizen said with a smirk as the pair left the office learning a valuable lesson.

Never trust a Vampire who likes to play tricks lest he ruin your whole career!

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