-Emiya POV-
Emiya was watching Arashi rush towards the enemy. His master or future captain – he still could not believe that he will become a pirate – deployed all kinds methods that would make him the enemy of all who fight with honor but for Emiya all he felt was pride, he wondered if this is what a father felt like when watching their child follow their teachings.
"This…" next to him Artoria seemed disturbed. I guess for someone like her, a knight who upholds honor, this kind of fighting might be repulsive.
"You seem troubled." Emiya stated as if he did not know the reason for it.
"He fights without honor!" Artoria seemed incensed.
"Where does honor come into play when facing your enemies."
"Honor is not for the enemy. Honor is for yourself; it is so that you don't lose yourself. It exists so that no matter how far you fell that you will always have something to follow!" Artoria stated.
"I guess you're right. But he doesn't want them. He simply wants to make the people who enslaved him pay. he needs to make people fear him not respect him."
"If he follows that path, he will get lost."
"that's why I'm here. to keep an eye on him."
"Huh." Artoria looked at me confused.
"Hey Emiya."
"Yes master?"
"If I ever go too far, if I stray too far to the dark side, will you pull me out?"
"You sure? I heard that the dark side has good cookies." Emiya smirked at the boy's irritation. "I will. Even if I have to beat you senseless."
"Beat me! you must be dreaming old man."
"Yeah…I promised that if he strayed too far that I will set him straight."
"I see."
Her hand slightly touched his hand. Heh. Looks like the king of knights isn't too good at stuff like these. Emiya held her small hand with his larger one.
They watched their master fight. Emiya observed him.
There were many things he wanted to say, but the most important thing that he observed was…
"His skill in the sword is…lacking." Artoria said from beside him. Since when did she become psychic.
.
.
.
The battle was in an impasse those two could not touch him. But he could not go past their barriers.
"Burn!" a sudden wave of heat rushed at us. looking down Emiya saw Arashi covered in flames. Arashi sent forth another wave of heat and transformed into his zoan form.
The shore was covered in flames, and in the centre of it was an 18 meters tall phoenix screeching.
"Die die die diediediediediiiiiiiieeeeee!"
He has lost his mind.
"Artoria, can you release your conquerors haki to incapacitate him?"
"I can." A yellow wave of energy was released towards the rampaging phoenix.
The phoenix fell down after being hit by the wave of conquerors haki, and reverted back after crashing down.
Getting off from the cliff, Emiya reached over to where he was fallen. Flames still lingered on the ground, the smell of ash entered his nose and in the middle of it was his master.
His observation haki swept through the area to see if anyone survived. Sadly, seems like no one survived.
"Mmhhm." Emiya ignored the unconscious form of Arashi and walked towards the boat. Arashi was a tough boy he could handle falling down from the sky.
Touching them Emiya used his observational analysis, a mix of observation haki and structural analysis to gain information about the ship. Once he learned of it, he went to the other one and repeated it.
"The boats are not unsalvageable; a few repairs and they would be ready to set sail." with this we can up our timetable.
Our original plan was to Arashi to go search for a pirate crew, beat them and then make them come here to which we would then either kill or leave them on the island or hand them over to some marines depending on their crimes. But since we have two ships here, we no longer need that.
"Shirou!" Artoria yelled while carrying Arashi like a sack of potatoes.
"Take him back to house. There's something I need to check."
When Emiya released my observation haki he detected an oddly shaped fruit a kilometer away from here.
Either it's just an odd fruit or it's the devil fruit of those two girls. What did they call it again? Oh yeah, the ying-yang fruit. From the effects it showed it seemed to be a paramecia type devil fruit.
-Arashi POV-
I woke up feeling like shit. Though not because of any physical damages but due to losing control. I've always prided myself for my self-control but during the fight a few words were enough to drive me mad. I wonder If meditation could fix that. Maybe I should start adding meditating in my routine.
Anyway, how the hell did I come here? The last thing I remember is transforming into my zoan form and then nada.
I hope that I didn't destroy the ships.
Ding.
I heard a sound that I haven't heard in months. The last time I heard it was when the day I became the champion of luck.
[task completed

Well damn! Looks like I need to roll
Let it roll!
[congratulations you have gained item: lynel horn]
[congratulations you have gained item: marked shell]
[congratulations you have gained skill: supernatural craftmanship]
[congratulations you have gained item: amber]
[congratulations you have gained item: embryo]
[congratulations you have gained item: gigas cedar branches]
[congratulations you have gained item: void cast iron]
[congratulations you have gained companion: Hikigaya Hachiman]
[congratulations you have gained item: kanshou and bakuya reforged]
[congratulations you have gained item: ruby]
Looks like I got some cool stuff. I know most of them but some I don't and also…Hikigaya Hachiman. Seriously? A normie. I like the dude but he has no skill when it comes to fighting, he is simply an analytical teenager who thinks he "suffered" – I used to find it cool but now, not so much – so the question is, should summon or not summon?
Whatever lets first see what they all are. And I seriously hope that is not a real embryo.
[name: lynel horn
Type: item
Description:The Lynel this horn once grew upon surely misses it. It's exceptionally hard—so hard that most blades cannot scratch it. Throw it into a stew with critters to make elixirs.]
It sounds familiar but I don't remember where from. Maybe a game that I used to play? Whatever. But what to do with this? Maybe I could give it to some blacksmith and make them make me a weapon.
[name: marked shell
Type: item
Description:The marked shell of a Consecrated Beast inscribed with ancient script.
On the pallid contours of the shell, the regrets of a time long past have been inlaid. One day, the bones of the beast will scatter like dust in the wind, and then, finally, may the exalted deceased greet their final rest...]
I know this! Its from genshin. But what on earth can we use it for? An armor? Seriously why can't it say their use so I know what to do with this shit.
[name: supernatural craftmanship
Type: skill
Description: supernatural proficiency in crafting different kinds of items, able to forge supernatural weapons, armors and artifacts with enchanted powers which are normally impossible to create with conventional craftsmanship.]
…damn! Should I use it for myself? I do have the ability to create flames which are much stronger than normal so I would be able to get a greater use of it. But…it seems boring. I would probably need to focus and patience. The former I have in spades, it's the latter that's lacking.
[name: amber
Type:
Description:A fossilized resin with a caramelesque sheen to it. It's been valued as a component in decorations and crafting since ancient times.]
Wonder if this has some DNA in it? Maybe if I gather a bunch of it and gain the help of a scientist, I could recreate Jurassic Park.
[name: maiden embryo
Type: item
Description: the cornerstone of infinite dendrogram,they are granted an Embryo seed upon being registered in the game, referred to as the zeroth form, where the Embryo observes the characteristics of the Master. Once the analysis is complete, the Embryo takes form and hatches. The embryo types depend on the master. rest assured that it will be a maiden type.]
Thank grandfather that its not an actual embryo.
It seems kinda familiar…oh well I will probably remember about it later.
Taking out the maiden embryo, I look at it. it is a black seed with purple veins covering it.
So how should I do it? should I keep a hold of it? or does it require me to eat it?
The light of the purple veins glowed briefly before the seed turn into a beam of light that struck my chest.
I guess that's solved. I touched my chest to see if I there were any problems. Which there were not.
[name: gigas cedar branch
Type: item
Description:The Gigas Cedar was created with near infinite Life (durability) and the ability to drain resources by Quinella after she assumed administrator powers. The Gigas Cedar was just one of her artificial physical barriers that were supposed to restrain the pioneers in the remote regions of the Human Empire.]
That's the tree from sword art online right? the one they use to make his new version of elucidator.
[name: void cast iron
Type: item
Description:Rare horseshoe obtained when a Trampler of the Antimatter Legion is defeated. When no one is observing, it pops in and out of existence.]
I have no idea what this is. But it has the word void in its name and it also is dropped by something called the "anti-matter" legion. So, it is probably some kind of end-game item or something.
[name: Hikigaya Hachiman
Type: companion
Description:Hachiman is an isolated, cynical young man who is pragmatic to a fault. He firmly believes that "youth" is simply an illusion created by hypocrites, for hypocrites, born from the ashes of past failures.]
…he seems kinda useless. He has no experience fighting. He has no special power. He is just an analytical teenager. Well at least it wasn't one of those two blondes.
[name: kanshou and bakuya reforged
Type: item
Description: an illusion that bathed in the bloods of millions. Married swords that shattered countless times. Using its infinite broken shards and reforged in in the heart of world which created unlimited number of blades. These swords only answer to EMIYA.]
…
Damn.
I wonder how it ranks compared to other noble phantasms.
[name: ruby
Type:
Description:A precious red gem mined from large ore deposits found throughout Hyrule. Rubies contain the power of fire and have fetched a high price since ancient times.]
Maybe it'll be useful if I were to build a weapon for myself.
Damn that was a pretty good pull. Should I use the remaining ones as well? nah. Maybe later.
The opening of the door broke me out of my trance. Emiya walked in with a tray of food.
"How did you know that I woke u- oh! Haki?" I asked to which he simply nodded.
"Chicken sandwich, French fries and a cup of orange juice." Emiya stated while handing me the tray which smelled absolutely divine.
Also does eating chicken make me a cannibal since I'm a phoenix. I should think about it later.
"How long was I out?" I asked him while eating the sandwich
"5 hours." Emiya took a seat on a chair which he brought closer to me.
"Damn! How did I even lose consciousness anyway?" I stuffed my face with delicious food.
"I asked Artoria- "
"You mean your husband."
"-to knock you out using conquerors haki." He didn't even seem to mind that I implied that he was the wife in their relationship. I guess insults of that level no longer harm him.
"Are we going to talk about it? The fact that you lost all reason due to some words." he questioned me.
"I…remembered my time there. And I guess…" I felt Emiya hand resting on my head and patting me.
It felt nice.
"I'm not even surprised that you went berserk on them. What I am surprised Is of your arrogance in thinking that they won't be able to hurt you."
"Yeah. Sorry about that." In my defense the original show made it seem like east blue had no devil fruit users. And also, it's not like I was weaker than them. If I didn't give them a handicap, they would have lost in the first 5 seconds.
"I see." Emiya smiled. "Eat and rest up. I have something good to teach you. I saw that during the fight that you mostly favored using your legs and I coincidently know some leg based martial arts so I will teach you. –"
"Hey. Ever thought about blacksmithing?" I remembered something.
Muramasa once stated that shirou could have been his descendant. So who else to get a blacksmithing skill than the descendant of a man who crafted a sword that can purge resentment, cut through bonds, fate, causality, and destiny, and slice through the idea of karma itself.
Who is a better choice to give the blacksmithing skill. I mean sure I may have my phoenix fire but I don't have that single mindedness to forge a good weapon.
"Hmm. Now where did that come from? Never mind, and to answer your question I did think about taking up blacksmithing once when I was alive but for some reason, I don't remember why, I never did. I was probably too busy saving people to invest my time on it."
"Here." I gave him the skill orb for supernatural craftmanship. He could use it better than me.
"This is…"
"Just crush it."
Emiya crushed it in his hands which quickly turned into motes of light which was absorbed by him.
"Oh! That is…interesting to say the least." Emiya looked surprised.
Hmm. I wonder if Emiya could use devil fruits as material to forge a sword. A gun made from the slow-slow fruit. Or a shield made from the barrier-barrier fruit.
I have some materials that I got from my draws that could probably used to make a cool weapon. Like the possible endgame item I just got.
"And also take this." I took out the kanshou and bakuya reforged from my inventory.
Two wing-like longswords, one is black and the other is white. They basically look like their overedged state. Hopefully they are not as fragile.
"This…" Emiya took the sword from my hands and stared at them.
"The description of it said "an illusion that bathed in the bloods of millions. Married swords that shattered countless times. Using its infinite broken shards and reforged in the heart of world which created unlimited number of blades. These swords only answer to EMIYA" that was what was written."
"I see." Emiya looked both sad and happy at the same time.
"Thank you for this."
"there's no need to thank me. they can't even be wielded by anyone but you."
"Still thank you." His voice was quiet. He left my room all the while staring at the blades like they were his soul mate. Artoria got competition.
I may not be able to completely understand him but I know somewhat.
The heroic spirit EMIYA never possessed a true noble phantasm but now he does. A fake pair of swords that become real after constant use.

Chapter 06 of Just My Luck is on .
Chapter 01 and 02 of God Almighty is also on .
God almighty is a LoTM X-over. I will post it on when I have five chapters stockpiled.
Though I do have a question. Would you like if I rewrote it. I recently gained an enlightenment and found a better power system.
Now I don't hate this but I realized how troublesome it is to write a gacha. Though that does not mean I can't, it's just slightly troublesome.
Since I'm the type of person who wants to make my MCs grow by gaining a few setbacks the gacha system is incompatible with me.
Since the gacha, one lucky pull could make him easily destroy the world.
I was thinking of making him a beyonder(LoTM) maybe either a tyrant or a wheel of fortune.
Anyway, I put up a public poll on my you can check it out and tell me which do you want.
