A little note: The crew is in their Pre-2 year time. Time for the Straw Hats first meeting with the members of Fairy Tail! How will it go? Well, continue reading to find out!
"Then, welcome to Fairy Tail!" said Erza and everyone entered the guild hall to the sound of cheers from the guild members. The Straw Hats were in awe at the size of the guild. A few people including a short, old man came over to greet the returning teenagers.
"How was the job everyone?" the old man said. To the crew, he was only three feet tall.
"Ah, master Makarov," said Erza. "It was a complete success; went very smoothly and–"
"Hey, who's this shrimpy, old fart?" asked Luffy, pointing a finger down at Makarov. All Fairy Tail members who heard had their jaws hit the floor. Erza gave Luffy a good kick to the face, sending him flying into a wall.
"Don't talk to master Makarov that way, you stupid bastard!" she yelled. Nami, Usopp, and Chopper huddled together in fear of this woman that can beat up Luffy.
Makarov chuckled to himself. "Now, now Erza, you don't have to be rough with our new guests; I'm sure he means well. Now then, what brings you children here today?"
The crew explained their situation to Makarov, from the typhoon to meeting the FT gang. When they were done, "Well, I see you all are in a dire situation; I might know a way to return you all back to your original location, but for now, let's celebrate the return of Fairy Tail's wizards!" Everyone roared with joy as Mirajane started preparing drinks for everyone. The crew decided that was best to relax for a while until Makarov was ready to help them.
Luffy and Natsu raided many plates of food, having an eating contest between themselves. Sanji went around to start hitting on the girls, Zoro grabbed himself a drink, and Chopper was kidnapped by some of the girls of Fairy Tail.
"I'm just a reindeer!" he cried as Levy nestled against him.
"Yes, but you are so cute and cuddly," she said. The other girls cooed and rubbed Chopper some more who was smiling with delight while calling them "assholes".
Nami took a seat at the bar and ordered herself a few large pints of ale. After downing the three, she spotted a brunette with long hair guzzling down a barrel of ale herself without even pausing for a breath. Nami glared at this woman, Cana Alberona, and proceeded to order five more drinks. Cana peered out from her barrel to see Nami watching her as she downed three of the pints.
"You're quite the drinker," Cana complimented her.
"Same for you, but I'm the best drinker of the crew," Nami said back as she finished off the last pint. Cana ordered more drinks for the two of them as they began the ultimate drinking contest of the ages. People gathered around cheering both girls on as Carla kept score on their consumption amounts.
"Go Cana! You can beat her!" shouted Gray.
"I can't decide on who to cheer!" said Sanji, admiring both the women's beauty until Nami shot him an angry look, steering him to her side. "Win Nami-san!"
Nami and Cana were reaching their seventeenth drink now, and the crowd was growing with anticipation. Nami swayed on her bat stool, but she kept going while Cana began hiccuping. "Not bad," said Cana as she grabbed another drink. "I'm very (hic) very impressed with you." Nami paused from her drink to shoot Cana a happy laugh, while saliva dripped from her open mouth.
After a half hour, the girls were at their twenty-fifth drink and the end was in sight. Nami and Cana were bashing their heads against each other as their faces turned red from the alcohol. Everyone was leaning forward on their seats, eager to see who wins. Finally, both girls fall off their stools together, collapsing to the floor in an unconscious heap.
"It's a tie!" called Carla, and everyone cheered. Franky and Gray helped the girls up, but they were out cold. "That was one heck of a drinking competition."
Natsu laughed. "Cana needs to step up her game next time!" Gray dropped a rock of ice on Natsu's dish, crushing his food to mush, sending the two of them to grind each other in the face. "Why'd you do that, you frozen bastard?!"
Gray bashed foreheads with his friend. "You know Cana could've beaten Nami if she didn't drink two barrels beforehand, so back off you tiny lizard!" They went back and forth, their auras forming around them. Luffy did not pay attention to this and continued eating, snatching Natsu's squished food.
"Don't those two remind you of somebody?" Robin snickered as she and Brook watched the two teenagers.
"Oh yeah, definitely familiar," he said. Across the guild hall, Zoro and Sanji were at each other's throats.
"Listen, moss head!" yelled Sanji. "You know my lovely Nami-san won that drinking contest!"
"Bullshit, I bet I would've beaten both those girls easily!" Zoro said back.
"What?! Say that again, crap-swordsman!" Sanji kciked while Zoro blocked it with his sword and they went at each other. Alzack Connell ran over to stop them.
"Mind your own damn business!" Zoro and Sanji yelled, kicking Alzack into a wall. Bisca ran over to tend to him while Sanji ran off to flirt with the guild girls.
After a few failures with Lucy, Levy, Evergreen, and Mirajane, who was protected by her brother Elfman, Sanji thought he had no hope. Wendy saw him pass by her and she unleashed a weak version of her Sky Dragon Roar, sending Sanji flying into a wall. Sanji then turned his attention to the scarlet-haired Erza, who was sitting at a table with a few people eating a few slices of strawberry shortcake, her favorite. Sanji sat down next to her and began moving closer; Erza noticed, but paid no heed.
Sanji moved closer to Erza, but she still did not mind. "So, thanks for inviting us here, Miss Scarlet," said Sanji.
Erza took a bite from her slice of cake. "It was no problem at all; I'm just glad to see that you and the crew are having a wonderful time here." Erza looked to see Brook playing his violin for some members, while also hitting on Levy at the same time. The two of them laughed as Levy put Brook in a headlock.
"Well, I just want to express my sincere thanks, and I also want to say that you are a fascinating, and beautiful lady." Erza almost choked on her cake. Everyone sitting at that table gasped in horror at this brave man; Sanji had the guts to hit on Erza?
Erza placed her fork on her plate and placed her hand on Sanji's shoulder, making him blush instantly. "Are you hitting on me?" Erza asked in a calm tone. Sanji began freaking out until Erza drew closer to his face. "It seems to be working." Sanji's eyes turned into hearts as Erza's lips drew closer. Everyone was backing away from the table, afraid of what will happen next.
Erza wrapped her arms around Sanji more, but instead of kissing him, she put him in a choke hold, her face turning into anger. "You should know better than to try any moves on me!" She tightened her grip as the life was squeezed out of Sanji.
What happened next I cannot go into details; no, truth be told, I will not go into details as it is far too graphic to describe. I will say this though: what happened to Sanji made everyone who saw cringe and shiver. Several tables were broken, and even the walls were damaged, much to Makarov's displeasure. When the tragedy was over, Erza stretched her limbs whereas Sanji was a bloody mess on the floor. He was shivering in fear from the fearsome woman, and he was properly scarred for life now.
"That just chilled my heart," said Brook. "Oh wait, I don't have a heart! Yo ho ho ho!"
'Let's keep the party going everyone!" yelled Natsu. Everyone cheered, while Happy went "Aye!"
Luffy and his crew, minus Sanji, clashed their mugs together with the guild members. "To Fairy Tail!" everyone yelled. They all drank their fill and partied some more until everyone collapsed to the floor in a mess. Out of everyone, Luffy had the fullest belly, and Nami and Cana the most ale. The guild was so happy to have met such wonderful friends, the Straw Hats the same.
Out on the outskirts of Magnolia, a lone figure ascended over the hills to see the city in breathtaking view. The figure carried a large scythe over his shoulder, and he was shirtless, a dark colored guild mark stamped on his shoulder. It was Erigor, returning for revenge!
He spied the Fairy Tail guild from afar and grinned. "I'm stronger this time, Natsu Dragneel," he thought. "I will have my revenge at last!" He descended the hills and made his way for Magnolia.
Oh boy, a cliffhanger in the form of a returning enemy. What will happen when Erigor arrives at Fairy Tail now stronger than before? Remember to leave a review, it helps a lot and I'll see you next time.
