Hi guys Azza here!
I'm back for real finally, setup is basically done just a few misc things to go now! Anyway just a few things before we get into it!
So basically the time I was stuck not really being able to do anything it gave me the time to plan out specific details in the arcs a lot more as well as solidify how I'm gonna work the movies people like into this.
Basically I've figured out how to add Strong World, 3D2Y, Film Z Heart Of Gold, Film Gold and Stampede into the story right down to the fight scenes so I figured I'd give you guys an idea on when they are coming because some are being changed to fit the narrative.
So 3D2Y will be coming first and will take place during the 2 year timeskip and will be followed by Strong World which isn't going to really be anything like the movie at all. With that I have already hinted in previous chapters what the plot will be but basically this is going to be a Natsu, Rayleigh, Shanks and Seilah centric story set right before the timeskip ends.
Now the next few are all gonna be set before the Dressrosa Arc
Next comes Film Z and the legend Master Z himself. I'm not altering that one heavily aside from the obvious Servant and Aura influence on the story plus the obvious character power differences by that point because the story of that movie was a masterpiece.
Heart Of Gold comes next and again that won't be altered heavily just enough so that it still works.
Film Gold however is going to have a completely new plot and will feature Golddigger Rinface and Best Girl Rinface (shoutout to my Fate/Grand Order bois who know the true faith!) But to give you guys a hint at the plot think about what Golddigger Rinface can do with lots of Gold ...
Now after watching Stampede at the movies and seeing how blatantly broken Bullet was that will be the final arc of the story so yes the plot of the movie will be altered to suit it. Bullet will be Luffy's final opponent in the story and #### ## will be Natsu's.
Trust me once I got the fine details down this arc has gotten me really excited I'm so keen to get stuck into the story again because we're getting closer to some really sick arcs as is!
Anyway enough from me hope my little insight has gotten you guys excited and on with the story!
I do not own Fairy Tail or One Piece.
Luffy Versus Lucci
/Luffy's POV/
"Gum Gum: Rifle!"
"Tekkai!"
Striking Lucci directly in the chest the CP9 Agent skidded backward sustaining minimal damage, the only evidence of Luffy's attack being a small trail of steam rising from the point of impact.
"Soru!"
"Damn-! Gum Gum: Gatling!"
Luffy unleashed a barrage of attacks across the room, blowing holes through the walls and into the floor and ceiling as he tried to land a blow on Lucci who was simply too fast for him to catch.
"Geppo!"
Hearing the sound of Lucci jumping into the air once more Luffy allowed himself a moment to refocus, using his senses to pinpoint the man's location before jumping backward at the last moment to avoid a Shigan to the back.
"OI STOP TRYING TO HIT ME IN THE BACK!"
"I'm an assassin you idiot," Lucci growled in response before dodging another round of Luffy's Gatling. "You'll never win with such feeble power Straw Hat, Blueno might not have been able to take it but I'm on a whole other level!"
Luffy was shocked as Lucci's speed suddenly increased and he quickly found himself taking multiple blows to the body and head as the Agent targeted any vital area he could get his fists on. After enduring the barrage Luffy was sent crashing into the back wall as Lucci ceased his attack, blood dripping from the man's fists as he towered over Luffy's fallen form.
"Like I said before Straw Hat, you and your criminal friends are way in over your heads."
"Tch ..."
"You look angry Straw Hat, finally realized how far you've come only to face your inevitable failure at the hands of Absolute Justice?"
"Nope," Luffy sighed as he wiped the blood from his forehead. "No you've just made me realize that I'm gonna have to go all out in order to win, even if it fucks up my body in the end."
"What?"
"That bull guy couldn't even hit me once I entered this state," Luffy said as he entered a crouched stance. "I wonder how long you'll last?"
Lucci raised an eyebrow as Luffy's legs momentarily appeared spring like before the veins in his legs bulged, blood shooting back up into his body at an abnormal rate. As his skin turned red and steam began to rise from it Luffy looked up at Lucci with a grin.
"Lost your mind Straw Hat?"
"Nah I'm just enjoying this moment."
"I don't understand?"
"The moment before the fight, that feeling you get when you know you're about to go all out to protect something important, it's what I've got flowing through me now. Robin is part of my crew, my little family here on these seas. She might be strong willed but she still needs the rest of us like we need her."
"No one needs Nico Robin," Lucci replied in a venomous tone. "She is the spawn of the Devil itself, she doesn't deserve to live. Even if you manage to succeed today in freeing her I won't stop pursuing her, I'll chase her to the ends of the New World if I must just to see Absolute Justice enacted on such a sinful woman!"
Luffy's eyes widened in surprise at just how determined Lucci was in ensuring Robin was taken into Marine custody. Up until this point the man had mostly kept a neutral look with the occasional sneer or frown in annoyance yet now he stood before Luffy in an actual fighting stance, fists clenched and a determined expression on his face.
"I see, so this battle will determine Robin's fate ..."
"Her fate is sealed Straw Hat, this is our fight," Lucci growled. "Soru-!"
"Gum Gum: Jet Pistol!"
In the exact same fashion as Blueno before him Lucci found himself blown back by Luffy's punch, his body smashing against the back wall as he struggled to process what just happened. Before he even had a moment to consider what Luffy had done he found himself instinctually dodging another punch that blew the entire section of the back wall away.
"What is this," Lucci gasped before using Geppo to leap out of the way of yet another swift yet powerful punch.
"This is Gear Second, with this power my abilities have shifted up an entire step putting me far above you."
"But that's impossible, no one can improve that fast," Lucci ground out as Luffy flashed him a cheeky grin.
"You're not gonna get your way anymore, Robin's coming back with us!"
"Dream on Straw Hat, Soru, Rankyaku!"
Landing on the ground Lucci began dashing around Luffy whilst kicking wildly in his direction sending out hundreds of powerful aerial slash attacks only for Luffy to vanish in a cloud of smoke.
"Where did he-!?"
Lucci didn't get a chance to finish as he found himself instinctually spinning around to confront his attacker only for a fist to connect with his jaw, slamming him into the ground.
"Gum Gum: Jet Stamp!"
Lucci was already rolling the moment his head connected with the concrete as Luffy's attack blew a hole through the floor forcing him to regain his balance on falling rubble before using Geppo to jump back up to his level.
Landing next to the hole Lucci dropped to one knee, panting heavily, as blood began to pour from his mouth.
'Of course ... the shockwaves from Straw Hat's blows are just as deadly to me as the actual ones are. If he's going to put up such a fight then I suppose I have no choice ...'
Rising to his feet Lucci gripped the tattered remains of his suit and ripped the top half off prompting Luffy to cock his head to the side in confusion. His confusion soon gave way to shock followed by grim realization as he clenched his fists, watching as Lucci's form began to convulse before swiftly morphing into a Lepoard/Human Hybrid that stood at twice his own height.
"A Zoan Devil Fruit ..."
"Yes, I'm a Leopard Human," Lucci replied as his tail swished back and forth behind him. "No one who has ever seen this form has lived to tell about it Straw Hat, this is it for you."
"Bring it!"
Both Luffy and Lucci vanished as the area around them quickly became littered in fist and foot shaped holes, the only evidence that the pair were even fighting one another until finally the two managed to clash.
"Gum Gum: Jet Stamp!"
"Cat Cat: Tekkai Wild Paw!"
Lucci's fist held firm against Luffy's foot before the pair suddenly broke off and vanished once more, Lucci using Soru to further increase his speed as the pair began trading swift yet powerful blows between one another.
"Gum Gum: Jet Whip!"
Caught off guard at the sudden change in tactics Lucci was hit in the side of the neck sending his body spinning through the air before it smashed through a nearby wall and into a neighbouring storage area.
"D-damn you Straw Hat," Lucci growled as Luffy charged through the hole already cocking back his next attack, leaving himself wide open in the process.
"Soru!"
Vanishing in a burst of speed Lucci appeared behind Luffy and immediately prepared a Shigan only to have Luffy narrowly dodge it prompting him to make repeated stabbing motions in an attempt to strike him.
"That's not gonna work!"
Ducking under the latest jab Luffy placed his right hand on the ground and propelled his entire body forward with his foot extended outward, striking Lucci's shin forcing the man to use his other leg to hop high into the air before propelling himself into a pile of crates as he clutched his shin in visible pain.
Luffy rose to his feet panting, the signs of exhaustion beginning to make their way onto his face as the crates began flying in his direction forcing him to dodge. Rising from the smoke Lucci was barring his teeth, blood trickling down from his new wound as he flexed his paws, the claws extending and retracting instinctually.
"To think you can still keep up even when I'm utilizing both my Devil Fruit and mastery over the Six Powers Technique, however I believe I have finally realized just how you've managed to pull this feat off."
Luffy grit his teeth as he dropped to one knee, blood trickling down from the corners of his mouth as his form began to revert.
"The beginning action that shifts you into that new form propels the blood around your body at an abnormally high rate, such a rate that no human could ever survive its consequences under normal circumstances. But you however are a Rubber man, from your outer skin to internal organs all of it is rubberized which allows your body to endure the excess flow throughout your body, the veins and organs simply expanding to accommodate them."
Luffy began to cough violently before large globs of blood burst from his mouth prompting Lucci to chuckle.
"All amazing abilities and yet your body simply lacks the stamina necessary to sustain its use rendering it borderline useless in drawn out engagements such as this."
"D-damn," Luffy gasped as he wiped the blood from his lips and shakily rose to his feet. "I knew there'd be consequences for using Gear Second so much without any real time to get used to it but this ..."
Luffy and Lucci were about to continue their fight when an explosion went off in the far corner of the room toward the roof, an entire chunk of the room breaking away prompting Lucci to chuckle once more.
"What's so funny!?"
"That was just a test shot Straw Hat, a test by the approaching battleships."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean Straw Hat is that reinforcements have arrived from beyond the gate, from Marineford! Upon the authority of the GA a Buster Call shall destroy Enies Lobby, eliminating all of you Straw Hats whilst the higher ups work on a way to contain Dragneel."
"We'll be long gone before that Buster Call-!"
Luffy was cut off as the ground began to shake with Lucci taking the opportunity to vanish in a burst of speed and land a devastating kick to Luffy's face sending him flying across the room.
"You're already far too late Straw Hat for it has begun in earnest!
Luffy grit his teeth as he weighed his options whilst slowly pulling himself to his feet.
"Then that just means I've gotta stop screwing around and beat you," Luffy said through grit teeth. "Gear Second!"
"Were you not paying attention before Straw Hat, that form will not save you."
"Who cares what you think when the lives of my friends are at stake," Luffy snapped as he stretched his right hand outward as if lining up Lucci. "Time for you to get out of my way!"
"Tekkai!"
"Gum Gum: Jet Rifle!"
/Natsu's POV/
"I. Said. GET OFF," Natsu roared as he threw Hessian Lobo over twenty feet into the air as the poor wolf smashed into the wall of the Tower Of Justice, rubble reigning down onto the bridge below.
"WOULD THE NOBLE WARRIOR ON THE BRIDGE STOP DAMAGING THIS TOWER, THE GREAT SOGEKING DEMANDS IT!"
"How about you do your job and I'll do mine," Natsu snapped back as the speakers fell silent for a moment before Sogeking resumed his ego boosting song. "Bloody fool ..."
"Master I have done as you asked, the others are within me ..."
Turning back around Natsu smiled as Seilah emerged from the ground, a large sack of darkness slung over her shoulder which was shaken rather violently to expel all the other Straw Hats plus Mordred.
"Oi what the hell," Zoro ground out.
"Yeah be careful some of us are injured here," Mordred snapped as she shakily rose to her feet. "And where the hell are we!?"
"Enough of that shit," Natsu snapped as he threw up a shield blocking incoming gunfire. "KEYS, GIVE ME THE KEYS!"
The others nodded quickly and began fumbling around for them before presenting them to the group, Natsu was about to rush toward Robin when suddenly Hessian Lobo tore himself free from the wall and leapt back down in front of the assembled group.
An unfortunate consequence of Avenger's rough exit from the wall was that it caused the entire top half of the tower to collapse. Under normal circumstances it wouldn't matter however Sogeking was atop the tower therefore his cries could be heard as far as Water Seven as he begged for rescue.
A portal opened up below Sogeking which led to the space right above the group dropping the brave warrior atop their position in the most dignified position possible.
"Now the whole gang's back together," Mordred sighed tiredly as she turned to face Avenger. "As much as I love a good fight I don't know if I could take an Avenger right now ..."
"I shall do it," Seilah said taking several steps toward the massive wolf. "Master I understand you do not wish for his death however I must incapacitate him, if he fades because of it I do apologize in advance."
"So noted Seilah," Natsu sighed as he looked toward the rest of the battered crew. "Alright you lot we're gonna push to Robin's position, when we reach her I need you guys to-!"
Natsu was cut off as several blasts rocked what remained of the Tower Of Justice as the crew struggled to stand amidst the tremors.
"Wh-what the hell was that," Sogeking gasped only for Sanji to grit his teeth and point out in the direction of the Gates Of Justice.
"Shit, looks like we're gonna have a lot of company," Zoro said as he drew two of his swords.
Everyone watched as the Gates Of Justice slowly opened to reveal not only the next section of the bridge but an entire fleet behind it that had no doubt been assembled because of them.
"ATTENTION STRAW HAT PIRATES!"
"Oh shit," Natsu sighed as he focused his gaze in on the lead ship, identifying many of the approaching figures by rank.
"BY ORDER OF FLEET ADMIRAL SENGOKU YOU ARE HEREBY SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR CRIMES AGAINST WORLD PEACE AND JUSTICE! SURRENDER NOW AND YOUR DEATHS SHALL BE QUICK!"
"Who the hell does that guy think he is telling us to surrender," Sanji growled in response.
"He's a Vice Admiral so he is in the position to demand it from you guys," Natsu replied shocking the entire assembled group.
Officer Of The Marines
Marine Vice Admiral
Momonga
"Looks like there are a few Vice Admirals here, guess they thought more than one was needed after I trashed that blockade fleet."
"Never mind that how the hell are we supposed to get out of here once we get the cuffs off Robin," Nami snapped only to cock her head to the side at Natsu's amused grin.
"Oh just you wait Nami," he said with a sly grin as he began walking toward Robin's position. "I've got our escape all planned out."
"Oi are you gonna take me and my boys too!?"
"You're Franky right?"
"Yeah that's me, what of it!"
"I'll take you lot with me too despite what you did to Usopp-."
"You knew about that," Zoro and Sanji shouted in unison only finding themselves ignored.
"The way I see it you tried to help Robin when CP9 had her so that makes us even. From here you lot will be in our debt."
"Heh, a man's debt eh," Franky replied with a grin. "Yeah I can work with that."
"Good," Natsu said as he turned back to face Robin's position. "All of you get ready to fight but be ready to bail at a moment's notice and that includes you as well Seilah."
"Understood Master."
"Mordred are you well enough to fight?"
"Well I doubt I'm taking out another Servant like this what with all the holes but I could probably still take on these Marines."
"If you can focus these Servitors they have, they seem to provide boosts in both offense and defence to anyone within a certain range. Knocking them out will make things easier for everyone."
"Will do!"
Nodding he raised his right hand as the Crash Barrier flared into existence bringing a momentary pause to the gunfire.
"Good luck guys, we've just got to hold until Luffy handles Lucci then we're good to go!"
"RIGHT," the group shouted as Natsu dropped the barrier.
Seilah vanished instantly and was already in Hessian Lobo's face, tendrils of darkness shooting up from the ground and wrapping themselves around the massive wolf as it began to gnash its teeth in an attempt to bite her.
Natsu also vanished and appeared at Robin's side, picking her up and frowning at her shivering form. Using his enhanced vision he noticed she had a large number of internal injuries that had begun to cause serious damage and knew she likely needed treatment soon.
"Robin, can you hear me Robin?"
"Y-yes ... I don't feel very well Natsu," Robin groaned as Natsu leapt out of the way from a barrage of cannon fire focused on his position.
"You've got multiple instances of internal bleeding Robin, your stomach being the main case we need to worry about there. Unfortunately you've also got a cracked skull which if left untreated could result in you potentially getting what is known as a 'bleed on the brain,' which could kill you."
"S-so what should I do?"
"You have two options Robin and you need to decide now," Natsu said as he landed back on the bridge and threw up another Crash Barrier before beginning to go through the keys he'd been given. "The first option is that you let Chopper treat you through the traditional means of this world ..."
"And what's the second option?"
"I-I could fix you, at a cost."
"At a cost," Robin asked confused. "What cost?"
"You would become that which this world had dubbed you since your escape from Ohara ..."
"Oi Natsu are you sure about this, do you even know how to do that," Ahnkseram asked in a concerned voice. "One wrong move and she would become a failure like all those you fought in the past."
"Ahnk you can see the damage to her brain and know I'm downplaying her condition, if I don't do something drastic she'll die for sure!"
"You have to be careful Natsu, she's eaten a Devil Fruit and we don't know what kind of effect that would have on the conversion process!"
"Then instead of flapping your gums how about you shut up and help me figure it out!"
Looking back down at Robin he noticed her breathing was becoming rather laboured and knew they needed to act soon. He was about to say something when Robin grabbed onto his hand and squeezed it tightly.
"Tell me ... will I be able to fight like you, Seilah or Mordred if I go through with this?"
"Robin-."
"Tell me!"
"You won't be on either mine or Seilah's level due to our unique symbiotic relationship we share however given time and hard training you could most likely face off against Servants by yourself."
"Then do it," Robin gasped as she grit her teeth due to the pain wracking her body. "I trust you ... Natsu."
Had it been under any other circumstance she'd said it Natsu would be grinning away like an idiot however the complicated procedure she'd just stated her full confidence in him performing was now weighing down upon him. One wrong move and Nico Robin would be lost forever.
"Very well ..."
"I wouldn't have trusted you if I didn't see how scared the suggestion made you Natsu," Robin said as Natsu's focus snapped back solely onto her. "I know that you'll take extra good care of me."
"Robin I-!"
"Please ... it hurts," Robin gasped as Natsu felt her grip on his hand tighten considerably. "Please ..."
"Sleep Robin," Natsu whispered as he channelled his Hybrid's Aura and forced her consciousness back until it stood behind a mental block. "This will only take a moment ..."
/Luffy's POV/
"Gum Gum: Jet Bazooka!"
Luffy struck Lucci right in the face sending the Agent flying into the far wall setting off an explosion in the process. He barely had a moment to recover from the strain of his attack however as Lucci charged out of the smoke on all fours, closing the distance between them in seconds before raising his right hand and elongating his claws.
"Cat Cat: Five Claw Shigan!"
The claws pierced Luffy's chest as blood sprayed across both combatants, a large gash being formed as Lucci's attack grazed his chest.
"Gum Gum: Jet Whip!"
Lucci was unable to avoid Luffy's counter since he was still in the middle of his own attack as Luffy's right leg smashed into the side of his face knocking out two of his teeth and slamming him into the ground just as Luffy fell onto his side gasping for breath.
Lucci coughed and spat out several globs of blood whilst beginning to rise to his knees, Luffy ripped off the remains of his shirt and tossed it away exposing his wound to the Agent who grinned viciously.
"You have even less time now than before Straw Hat! At the rate that wound is bleeding you'll be dead before you even leave the island!"
Instead of a comeback Luffy simply roared as he cocked his fist back and began charging toward Lucci who immediately went on the defensive.
"Gum Gum: Jet Rifle!"
"Tekkai!"
Lucci was confident his Tekkai would hold as it did last time however he found himself almost bent inward as the blow smashed into his stomach before he was sent flying through several walls.
"What-! But how did he-!?"
"LUCCI!"
"Shit-! Geppo!"
Vanishing from sight Lucci appeared above Luffy and began kicking his legs wildly firing off hundreds of Rankyaku's which smashed into Luffy, slicing his flesh opening up even more wounds on his already badly wounded form.
"You were a fool to think you could match me Straw Hat," Lucci said with a grin as he vanished from his spot and appeared before a dazed Luffy, both fists clenched as his arms were extended in a vertical fashion. "This will end it, Six Powers Hidden Technique: Rokuogan!"
The two fist struck Luffy as a powerful shockwave rocked every fibre of his body, blood pouring from his mouth as he flew back through the walls he'd just charged through until he returned to the room they'd started fighting in, slamming into a wall several seconds after Lucci's attack hit it before dropping to the ground.
Blood began to pool beneath his downed form as Lucci entered the room, panting heavily as he dropped to one knee in pain from his own injuries.
"To think you held such power Straw Hat, but it all went to waste the moment you decided to become Pirate scum. I'll acknowledge your power and leaderships skills but they weren't enough to best Justice itself ..."
"Is that so ..."
Lucci's eyes widened in shock and disbelief as Luffy's hand began to move and he slowly pulled himself up to his knees, his face covered in blood but his eyes never once losing the same determined expression he'd walked into the fight with.
"Impossible ... I hit you with a full force Rokuogan, your organs should have burst from that!"
"Yeah well ... I'm pretty stubborn apparently," Luffy sighed as he slowly rose to his feet with Lucci following suit. "You're really strong, not as strong as Aokiji but you're definitely the strongest person I've fought so far. My body is a wreck but even still I've gotta keep fighting, my crew need me to win this."
"You would still try to fight me after sustaining a full force Rokuogan?"
"I have to endure the pain and make sure everyone gets out of this alive, that's a Captain's greatest pleasure and deadliest curse."
"What ..."
"I'm not gonna stop Lucci, I'll keep getting back up no matter how many times you knock me down!"
"Then I'll just have to ensure the next time I knock you down I land the final deathblow," Lucci growled as he prepared to charge Luffy only to suddenly find all his senses freezing him in place demanding he try and defend instead.
"I'm not gonna let you have your way anymore Lucci, Gum Gum: Jet Gatling!"
"Tekkai!"
Lucci instantly activated the defensive technique the moment both of Luffy's arms vanished knowing full well he was throwing dozens of punches in an instant. What he wasn't prepared for however was for his Tekkai to have zero effect whatsoever as the blows began hammering his form as his body was force further and further backward until it hit a wall where he fell to the mercy of the seemingly endless barrage of punches.
The blows continued for over a minute straight, hundreds of punches raining down on Lucci whose body was now bloodied beyond recognition. After what felt like forever the wall gave way signalling the end of the monstrous attack, Luffy collapsing on the floor violently coughing up blood as Lucci's form collapsed onto the ground, a ray of sunlight bursting through the demolished wall revealing they were in the room before the bridge.
"Oi guys look-!"
Managing to arc his neck upward slightly Luffy saw his crew, his friends out on the bridge fighting against Navy soldiers and smiled seeing that they were all still alive.
"Smile while you can Straw Hat for it will be the last your friends will ever see of it."
Luffy's blood ran cold as darkness began to obscure his vision, a familiar form obscuring his view of his friends.
"Wh-what ... no way!"
Panting, bleeding heavily and on the verge of collapse Rob Lucci stood once more before Luffy ready to fight. Mustering all the strength he had left he scraped himself up off of the ground and met Lucci's gaze.
"That last attack nearly had me, but you failed. I can tell that as you are now you cannot enter that state again so this shall be my victory."
"N-no way, like hell I'll let you win," Luffy growled as he clenched his fists. "I still have one last trick up my sleeve and I reckon it'll be more than enough to beat you as you are now ..."
"Ho? Then by all means prepare it for this will be our final clash Straw Hat Luffy, the winner will be the one left conscious."
"You're on," Luffy said before taking a deep breath and moving his right thumb to his mouth and biting down on the tip of it. "You'll be the first to ever be on the end of this, Gear Third!"
Blowing into his thumb Luffy began to inflate his opposite hand and arm as it rapidly grew in size until it was easily the size of a giants. His grin faded however when he saw Lucci not frowning or showing even the slightest sign of fear at his new ability.
"I'll admit that attack is impressive however let me educate you on something vital, a constant truth that you'll come to learn should you somehow beat me."
Raising his right arm Lucci grinned as a black substance began to coat it, a substance Luffy almost instantly figured out.
"Th-that's Armament Haki!"
"Ho, you know of Haki? Honestly I'd say I'm surprised but Dragneel probably told you of its existence. Yes this is the Colour of Arms, Armament Haki. Currently I am the only member of Cipher Pol Aegis Nine capable of its use and even then I only recently awakened its use. Despite this however Armament Haki, even as recently bloomed as my own, is more than enough to defeat someone like you so heavily reliant on their Devil Fruit!"
"I know how strong Haki makes someone but even still ... I won't lose," Luffy shouted as he leapt into the air, dragging his giant fist with him. "I'm gonna win Lucci, Gum Gum: Gigant Pistol!"
"Armament Hardening – Cat Cat: Leo Impact!"
Lucci didn't even flinch as Luffy's attack bore down upon him, full faith that his Haki coated fist would hold him back.
As Luffy's attack drew closer he wasn't sure if it was because of the blood loss but everything began to move much slower to the point that they may as well not have been moving at all. He saw his fist inching closer to Lucci's however given how slow things were moving he was shocked when he saw that if he inched his attack over just slightly he could avoid Lucci's attack outright and still manage to hit him.
'Wait ... is this-!"
Lucci's eyes widened as he saw Luffy's begin to glow a faint Crimson Red, his attack's trajectory shifting out of the path of his own. For the first time in his life Lucci felt the feeling of panic as Luffy's fist just faintly skimmed past his own with the attack now coming down upon him with no means of stopping it.
"Observation Haki," Lucci hissed before looking over to the bridge and seeing Natsu doing something to Nico Robin.
Sighing he looked back up at the massive fist that was coming down on him and smiled, not smiling due to any praise for the Pirates but merely one of grim acceptance as he knew his fate.
"How could I have predicted you'd have Observation Haki? Perhaps you just unlocked its real use just then? Either way Straw Hat Luffy ... well played."
The attack smashed into Lucci, blowing a hole through the entire floor as the CP9 Agent was sent flying all the way to the furthest underground floor unconscious. Luffy upon concluding his attack began to deflate as his body rocketed out of the hole and onto the bridge where it was caught by Mordred.
"Luffy!"
"Hehe ... hey Mordred, fancy seeing you here."
"Good job in there, that last attack finished him for sure," Mordred replied with a grin only to notice something was off. "Hang on why are you about as big as a five year old?"
"Side effect of me using Gear Third ... should wear off soon," Luffy sighed as he felt his consciousness fading. "C-can I trust you and Natsu to get the crew out of here?"
"Natsu already had a plan we've just been waiting on you, Captain," Mordred replied in a somewhat mocking turn that in turn prompted Luffy to smirk.
"Well then my bad for holding us all up, guess now that we're all back together we're ... good to ... go ..."
Mordred sighed as Luffy passed out, knowing full well he needed the rest after what he'd just been through. Taking off toward Natsu she knew they were just about ready to go but was shocked when everything began to shake violently once more.
"Oi what the hell!?"
"That's not the Navy," Zoro growled as he slit the throat of a Marine who tried to attack him from behind. "That came from below us!"
"Oi Seilah," Mordred roared over the raging battle as said Demoness paused in her barrage against Hessian Lobo.
"If you didn't notice I'm a little busy trying to restrain Avenger, what do you want!?"
"There's something stirring below us, use your eyes and tell us what it is!"
Sighing Seilah nodded as she activated her Devil's eyes and looked downward only to frown in a mixture of shock and confusion.
"But that can't be ..."
"What is it?"
"Something is coming ... and fast!"
No sooner had the words left her lips that the sea beneath them began to explode like a geyser as a massive form began to emerge, smashing through part of the bridge as it ascended into the air.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT," Sogeking screeched as the object moved to loom over them.
"Wait that looks kind of familiar," Mordred said with a frown before suddenly realizing what it was. "Hang on that's just a massive Servitor!"
"HAHAHAHA! I'M GOING TO DESTROY ALL OF YOU!"
The massive Servitor seemed to open its outer shell revealing moire Ebony armor underneath as lightning began to rain down upon the Straw Hats, the attacks nothing more than a mere discharge from the hulking Servitor.
"With this power at my side I'll crush all you Pirates and be hailed as a hero!"
"Isn't that voice Spandam," Mordred asked prompting Seilah to nod.
"He's inside that thing piloting it; you can see him beyond the eye of the Servitor."
"So we just have to go for the eye then eh?"
"It isn't that simple because that thing's armor is made from the same Ebony the Gods and Devils create their weapons and armor from. Piercing armor that thick is something only Master can probably do but he's trying to save Robin right now."
"Well then we'll just have to deal with it ourselves, you and me!"
"B-but I've got to hold off Hessian Lobo-!"
"Come on Seilah surely you can hold him down with some of that shadow stuff while we go to town on that massive sphere!?"
"I can't promise I can hold it for the long term, I'm still getting used to my powers ..."
Mordred sighed as she placed a hand on the Demoness' shoulder, smiling warmly at her answer.
"All I'm asking is that you try because if we beat Spandam then Avenger will stop attacking us remember."
"Yes ... yes you're right; if we end Spandam quickly then we stand a real chance!"
"Then what are we waiting for," Mordred replied with a grin as she walked over to Nami. "Here take care of Luffy while Seilah and I go to town on bigmouth up there!"
"Are you two stupid! You have no idea what you're up against," Spandam cackled as the Servitor began to release its stored up power. "This here is one of the three strongest Servitors in the world, each being stationed at the three pillar Marine bases around the world so the two of you stand no chance!"

"You ready to kick the shit out of this guy Seilah?"
"More than ready," Seilah replied as the pair moved to stand before the rest of the Straw Hats defensively.
Spandam released another barrage of lightning down upon them however Mordred managed to attract the lightning toward them using her blade as a Lightning rod whilst Seilah raised a Crash Barrier to destroy it, silently thanking her Master for giving her access to it.
"Let's get this started," Mordred grinned as her blade ignited in flame and the pair charged toward the Servitor.

You're Still So Fat
"You've returned Alucard," Integra said as the man in question emerged from a portal in her office. "I trust you found where The Major is hiding?"
"Yes though honestly I don't know why I'm not surprised he'd pick such an obvious location."
"Where is he?"
"The Reichstag."
"You've got to be joking!"
"I wish I was but I took the knowledge from Dimitri, he's set up shop underneath it."
"Bloody hell ..."
"Is Seras awake yet?"
"Yes she's in the garden."
"I see," Alucard said as he walked toward the door and opened it.
"Alucard."
"Yes?"
"You have my permission to use everything, end this once and for all."
"As you command ... my Master."
With a nod Integra let Alucard go as he walked downstairs and exited through the back door to find Seras tearing up the training field with any weapon she could get her hands on.
"Seras."
Emptying her last clip into one of the training dummies she threw her gun at it with the barrel lodging itself in it's would be skull.
"You're back."
"Indeed I am."
"I-I'm sorry ..."
"Whatever for?"
"When I saw him I-I couldn't process it, I fainted. It was inconsiderate of me to leave you alone when you would have been suffering just as much as I was."
"Seras you don't need to be sorry about that, I also nearly fainted if I'm honest."
"Truly?"
"Oh yes it was quite a shock, but now I know where they are so we can go find them and rescue him."
"You found him!"
"Yes-!"
Alucard wasn't allowed to finish as Seras leapt onto him, wrapping her legs around his waist and kissing him passionately, an act that was swiftly reciprocated.
"My you're rather excited."
"Its been a long time since I had hope that we could have a real family Alucard. Plus we get to finally end that fat fuck once and for all so it's a win win right?"
"Heh, yeah I suppose it is."
"Can we leave now?"
"Was planning on it," was the instant reply. "Do you have everything you need?"
"Was packed about five minutes after Integra told me what you were doing."
"What a fine Draculina you've become Seras, so eager so kill ..."
"Well it's just so much fun ... Master."
Once this is all over and we're settled the whole chamber is getting used, you're stirring me up more than ever ..."
"Looking forward to it, but first let's end things."
"Let's.":
Hope you all enjoyed and I'll see you in the next one!
