Review Response:

Redmen6blight: I don't know when it will happen, but it will happen, I promise.

PLEASE READ: Yes. Interesting idea for a familiar for Naruto, a spirit phoenix. I don't know about the tongue thing. Hm, yeah that is possible for Ravel and Koneko to be in a relationship with Naruto by the time canon starts.

Davidb931: Yes, you got it.

Bednarczykmiki: Loona is my favorite character too.

Calderoneric758: Yes, Vali is getting Robin. Yes, Loona is my favorite Helluva Boss character.

Borello: Thank you.

PLEASE READ: Yeah, Naruto is going to be ripped. Naruto is scarred. In chapter 6, Kisame attacked Naruto with Samehada, shredding open Naruto's shoulder and back, so yes, Naruto already has scars. Interesting way to include that lightning sword and mix Baraquiel's Lightning.

Nicholas: … I… (Thinking Pose)

Harem:

OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO, ONE PIECE, HIGHSCHOOL DXD OR ANY OTHER ANIME I MAY REFERENCE!

Chapter 15: Testing Steel

Secluded House of Godot the Blacksmith…

"You got a smart little friend." Godot told Guts as he poured himself into his work, striking the sword he was working on. "He used my blue prints to make that arm of yours, so make sure to send him here every so often, I can use an assistant."

Guts chuckled as he accepted a mug of beer from Erica, who smiled at Guts.

Godot was a legendary blacksmith, forging weapons to all who paid him, but was spared death when the New Satan's spared him after the Devil Civil War.

It was business, so he sold weapons to Satan/Anti-Satan factions.

But, in his shame, he exiled himself to his remote home with Erica, his adopted daughter.

Business was not as booming, but he was employed every so often with enough money to live off of.

He was a short man, with thick muscles gained after years of working the forge. He had a round stomach, covered by a one-shoulder black smith apron and pants with boots. He had thick white hard and beard covering his wrinkled face, wearing a bandanna over his head.

"Thanks, Godot, it is a good weapon." Guts said as he drank his beer.

While he had been traveling to return Erica to her dad, Guts decided to try out his new arm.

And to say he was pleased was a massive understatement.

"Well, it was my blue prints, so of course it works." Godot replied, insulted that Guts would imply his quality was not up to par.

"I'm going to take a piss." Guts grunted as he finished his beer.

Godot ignored Guts as he pulled the weapon from the fire and dowsed it into a barrel of water, Erica covering her ears as the metal hissed.

Guts walked out and toward the bushes, relieving his full bladder.

"Hm?"

Gut's eye caught the door to Godot's store room in its peripheral.

Finishing his business, Guts walked into the store room, noticing a key hole.

"You want to go in?"

Guts turned and saw Erica.

"Yeah, I need a new sword, and instead of bothering Godot to make one, I'll just take one from the store room." Guts said, before his face became irritated as he pointed at the locked door. "But I need…"

Erica ran back to the black smith shop, returning a few minutes later with the key.

She inserted the key and unlocked the door, allowing them inside.

All sorts of swords, shields, spears, halberds, bows, and even fetish gear were within the large store room.

"Wow, I haven't even seen these before." Erica said in wonder as Guts ventured deeper.

However, one weapon caught his eye.

"So, you made my daughter bring you into my store room?"

Erica jumped in fright and fear as Godot seemingly teleported into the store room.

"Dad… I…"

Godot silenced Erica with a sigh.

"If you need a new weapon to use you should… hey, Guts, are you listening?" Godot stated in anger as Guts didn't show that he was listening.

"Godot, what about this one?" Guts asked as he stood before a massive sword, a smirk appearing on his face with a glint in his eye.

"You think you can use my masterpiece, the sword that killed the two pesky dragons?" Godot asked as he walked up behind Guts.

It was too big to be called a sword. Massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough. Indeed, it was heap of raw iron.

It didn't matter to Guts as he took the handle in hand.

One Week Later, Phenex Mansion, Small Garden…

Ravel laughed as she held a long metal forked piece of metal that was gouged into a piece of steak, holding it above Onimaru and Loona, both jumping and missing.

Having enough, Ravel held the steak low enough for the two to get it, and tore it in half, eating it as they allowed the young girl to pet them, rubbing her face into their soft fur.

"Miss Ravel, be careful."

"I am, Gentle." Ravel replied, using the nickname of the family butler.

Danjuro "Gentle" Tobita, Bishop of Layla Phenex, was a Japanese man who was turned shortly after the Evil Piece system was created, having served Layla and Jonathan Phenex for generations.

He was the Alfred Pennyworth to the Phenex's Batman, as he had been in service when Ruvel, Sabo, Riser, and Ravel were in diapers.

Danjuro is a man with a refined appearance. He has a slicked-back hairdo with a curl at the front and sports a handlebar mustache along with a well-kept, medium-sized beard. He has thick black lines around his eyes resembling eyeliner which he applied himself with a marker.

Danjuro's clothes are also quite extravagant, featuring a dark purple jacket with enlarged collars and coattails. The Phenex family crest on his breast pocket and on his belt buckles. He wore a pair of loose, pinstriped pants, and two belts. He also wears a pair of cuffs, and purple gloves along with a woolly scarf of the same color.

At the nearby table in a gazebo was a cane, which was Danjuro's.

"Miss Ravel, these two need to be trained properly." Danjuro said, catching a glare from Onimaru.

"Why? They seem fine to me?" Ravel said as she rubbed their bellies, making Loona and Onimaru putty in her hands as they enjoyed their tummy rubs.

Danjuro sighed, watching over Ravel with a keen eye.

Loona and Onimaru's ears perked up as they looked behind Danjuro.

"Well, this is where you were? Riser has been looking for you, Sister."

Riser Phenex entered the small area, wearing a royal blue tuxedo with the top buttons undone to show off his chest.

Onimaru glared, his eye narrowed as Loona was on edge from the aura Riser carried himself with as Ravel stood up, bowing.

"Brother, it is nice to see you today." Ravel said as Riser had been out doing familial duties with their father the past few days.

"Indeed, Sister. Riser is happy to see you." Riser said with a genuine smile as he hugged her. "But Riser must ask," he turned his attention to Loona and Onimaru, who were on their feet and circling around them as if they were hunting prey. "Why did you choose these mongrels over one of our family familiars, the Phoenix?"

"I wanted something different, and they aren't mongrels, Brother. They are Loona," Ravel said with a pout as she points to Loona. "And Onimaru." Points to Onimaru. "A hellhound and a Tenko."

Riser wasn't impressed, stepping toward the two familiars.

"Riser doesn't see the need for such creatures, Sister." He stated in arrogant ignorance. "What could they do besides eat, sleep, and chase their tails?"

Onimaru was enraged as his body tensed, a cloud of smoke billowing outward, blinding Riser before a giant hand grabbed the Phenex.

"SAY THAT AGAIN!" Onimaru, in his Onyudo form, raising his left hand to punch Riser, who was shocked as he tried to break Onimaru's grasp.

Loona pounced with her mouth open to sink her fangs into Riser's limbs.

Danjuro jumped in, swiping his hands in the air between the fist, Loona, and Riser's face/limbs.

"Gentle Rebound!" Danjuro stated as Onimaru's fist was swung.

However, instead of connecting with Riser's face, it hit was appeared to be a transparent elastic force, stopping the fist half a centimeter from Riser's nose before rebounding it backwards.

The force was so great, Onimaru was sent flying backwards, dropping Riser as his feet were removed from the ground as Loona was pushed backwards into the ground, rolling before she pushed herself back onto her feet.

However, Onimaru changed trajectory, flipping himself around before transforming back, landing on his paws, staring at Danjuro and Riser as the Phenex male quickly and fearfully struggled to get up, ruining his clothing.

"SEE WHAT I MEAN, SISTER!" Riser shouted as he was able to stand. "THESE BEASTS ARE JUST THAT, RISER IS GOING TO…"

Riser was smacked… by Danjuro.

"Master Riser," Danjuro said, his eyes narrowing. "You must not treat your sister's familiars rudely. They serve her, so of course they don't like you."

Danjuro lowered his hand.

"You are dismissed, Master Riser."

"Listen here, Danjuro…" Riser said as he grabbed the butlers tie and forced him to look Danjuro in the eyes. "You and your wife serve the Phenex, so, that means Riser can ignore you if I see fit."

"If you deem this as an opportunity to disobey me," Danjuro said as he grabbed Riser's wrist, which glowed with magic. "They I will have to inform the Lord and Lady of the House about your… exploits at the whore house."

Riser flinched.

He released Danjuro's tie and fixed his clothing.

"Riser will be leaving." He said in spite as he turned, grumbling as he left.

"Thank you, Gentle." Ravel said as she ran to Loona, checking her over for any injuries, while Loona rolled her eyes and just laid down.

Onimaru, meanwhile, strutted over to Ravel and sat beside her, an irritated look on his face.

"It is nothing, Miss Ravel." Danjuro said as he bowed.

"Gentle, when it is time for me to become a King," Ravel said as she put her hands on Onimaru and Loona's heads, petting them. "Will you join my Peerage? I mean… you've been with my family for so long, but you have been taking care of me since birth, so I just want to repay you and..."

Danjuro's eyes widened, before they softened with happiness while he kneeled, taking Ravel's hand.

"I promise, when you become a King," Danjuro vowed. "I will become your bishop. But I have one small request."

"What?"

"I would like my wife, Manami, to come with me? I don't mean as a peerage member, but if you move out, I would like my wife to come." Danjuro asked politely.

"Of course, I wouldn't want to separate you from Manami!" Ravel gasped. "I wouldn't do anything that horrible!"

Danjuro laughed at the Young Lady's flustered state, standing up.

"Come, Miss Ravel, it is nearly time for lunch." Danjuro said as he continued to hold Ravel's hand.

"Okay, Gentle." Ravel responded, not fighting him on this subject.

Danjuro walked over to the gazebo, grabbing his cane, and they walked through the garden with Onimaru and Loona following them.

They could smell food coming from the kitchen, and in their hunger, a simple steak was not enough to satisfy them, they started to run ahead.

"Hey…" Ravel called out trying to stop them but couldn't while Danjuro held her hand. "STOP! LOONA, ONIMAUR! STOP RUNNING!"

Loona and Onimaru ignored their master, which was noted by Danjuro, and continued to run…

Right into Manami as she pushed a cart with lunch on it.

"AAAAAAAAAH!" Manami, devil born devil Maid of Phenex, screamed as the two giant animals jumped her, knocking the cart over, spilling lunch over her and the floor.

"Manami!" Danjuro shouted as he rounded the corner to see his wife on the ground, being licked by Loona and Onimaru, a tearful despaired look on her face.

Manami is a very short young woman with quite a large, round head, compared to her narrow body. She has raspberry pink hair, which she wears up in two high pigtails, wide and thick at the top and thin at the bottom, the ends curved upwards to the sides at her waist, their edges trimmed straight. She has a single bang in the middle of her forehead, swept pointedly to her right, and very large, pointed-down eyes with dark rings on the underside of each, two longer eyelashes to each far side, which take up most of her face. Her irises are oval-shaped, pink in color, and each has two circles between their small pupils and their rims, giving them a rather hypnotic look with the dark circles around her eyes.

Manami's outfit is quite elaborate, much like her husbands. It consisted of a big white bow at her neck, matching the thick gloves she wears, an indigo shirt, with the Phenex symbol on her back, with large buttons and long, upturned frilly sleeve cuffs, and a pair of white, pinstriped pants which are very poofy, making her legs seem bigger than they are. She sports several heart motifs, such as heart earrings, heart-shaped buckles on the two thin, golden belts around her waist, and a wide heart design over the tops of her legs. She also wears dark tights underneath her pants, over which she wears a pair of shiny high-heeled boots.

"Gentle…" Manami whimpered, sniffling as she noticed Ravel behind Danjuro, and started to panic. "Miss Ravel, I am sorry. Lunch is ruined..." Her tears became heavier, since the meal she had made was Ravel's favorite. "I am sorry, I will remake it right away!"

"Manami, are you alright?" ravel asked as she kneeled next to Manami.

"Miss Ravel, lunch…"

"Are you hurt?" Ravel asked as Danjuro kneeled next to his wife.

"I am fine, Miss Ravel, but lunch has…"

"I don't care about lunch! You could have been hurt because I couldn't control my familiars!" Ravel shouted as she started to cry in panic. "I couldn't control them… and they… they could have hurt you…"

Loona and Onimaru's ears drooped, a look of guilt appearing on their faces and in their eyes as they lay on the ground, heads on their paws to show they knew they were wrong.

"I am… I am fine…" Manami hiccupped. "They didn't hurt me, Miss Ravel."

Ravel felt relief, hugging the small devil, profusely apologizing.

Jonathan Phenex would walk in on this moment and be immensely confused by Ravel's tear-filled rambling, needing to talk to Danjuro later to get details.

Five Weeks Later, Bael Mansion Training Ground…

Naruto zipped through the air, kicking the air itself, sending small sonic booms of chakra to propel himself through the air.

Lucci and Hattori watched, occasionally throwing rocks at Naruto, who successfully evaded the majority of them, but did not fall once.

"Good, kid. You don't need to worry about concentration and falling anymore." Lucci congratulated.

"Not yet, watch this!" Naruto said as he entered hybrid state, moving faster.

"Impressive, but…" Lucci stopped, his eyes widening at what he saw next.

Naruto entered his full fox form, and with all four of his legs, he Geppo'd through the air with ease.

"Good, you are taking steps to mastering Rokushiki." Lucci praised as Naruto landed on the ground, transforming into his human form. "But we have two more left, and four months left of this year…"

"Oh, shit, my birthday is coming up soon." Naruto said in realization.

It was currently the middle of August, so it meant his birthday was close.

"Focus." Lucci ordered, to which Naruto stood straight. "Now, you are going to work on Soru."

Lucci sped across the ground, but Naruto could not see Lucci's movements, who seemed to be teleporting from place to place.

"The Speed Power." Naruto mumbled as he continued to watch Lucci, trying to figure out what he was doing. "Muscle stimulation? Making his legs move several times a second, creating a burst of speed in one direction?"

Lucci chuckled as he reappeared before Naruto.

"Hit the nail in the head, kid." He said with a proud smirk. "So, go out there and try it out, I feel like you are going to get this one the easiest."

Naruto did a quick stretch of his legs and then channeled his chakra into his legs.

His face broke against a rock on his first attempt.

'Success? No, not really.' Lucci thought as the nine-year-old kitsune cursed up a storm. 'At least he can speed through this Power and I can teach him Kami-e earlier than expected.'

Two Days Later…

'Why did I have to be accompanied by Ladora and… Coriana…' Naruto, his face having been healed by Rob, grumbled as he walked through Asmoda with Coriana and Ladora.

Sairaorg refused to let Naruto go alone, both Beruka and Liban were busy with other things, Misteeta didn't want to be around Naruto (Who was easily annoyed by the fox), Gandoma politely declined, Kuisha was busy with Sairaorg and Misla as they getting ready for the yearly Young Devil Meeting while Regulus was being a lazy lion.

Naruto didn't know much about Ladora, just that he was strong, and didn't like Coriana.

He felt a bad anxiousness tingle in his spine whenever he was near her.

"You know, I can go alone." Naruto repeated again.

"No, Naruto." Coriana responded… again, as she held his hand. "Sairaorg said we have to accompany you. You could get lost or something worse."

"Yeah, kid." Ladora said as he ruffled Naruto's hair, pushing his headband over his eyes by accident. "Oh, sorry."

Naruto pouted as they neared Vulcan's shop.

The door burst open, a devil was flung through the door, their Warhammer hitting the ground near them.

"DON'T YOU EVER COME HERE AND DEMAND FREE SERVICES, YOU LITTLE SHIT!" Vulcan shouted angrily, her cat like eyes narrowed as her fingers twitched.

"YOU…" The devil shouted as they got up, humiliated by all who were watching, his mud-covered face hiding his flushed cheeks. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, YOU CAT-BITCH!"

He grabbed his hammer and ran off.

Ladora whistled.

"Nice." He said as Naruto approached Vulcan, who took several deep breaths.

"Hey, Vulcan." Naruto said as he waved to her.

Vulcan turned, her anger vanishing and replaced with happiness.

"Hey, Naruto, how you been?" She asked as she picked him up and hugged him.

"Just maintenance on Yubashiri and Shigure." Naruto replied, a big smile on his face.

"Hello, we are with Naruto." Coriana spoke out, catching Vulcan's attention.

"You are also apart of Sairaorg's peerage?" She asked, never meeting Coriana and Ladora before.

"Yep, I'm Ladora." Ladora introduced as they entered Vulcan's shop.

"I am Coriana."

"Well, it's nice to meet you, I am Vulcan, Blacksmith." She introduced as she took Shigure and Yubashiri from Naruto, unsheathing them.

She carefully analyzed the swords, and swung them.

"They are fine, nothing wrong." Vulcan said as she sheathed them, returning them to Naruto.

"Thank you, Vulcan." Naruto said as he put them at his side, looking at the Meito poster which he remembered Vulcan using to explain the Meito grades. "Vulcan, do you know the Supreme Meitos?"

"Hm?" Vulcan looked at the poster, and nodded. "Of course, I do. Why?"

"Remember, I promised to make Shigure a higher Meito grade, and I will make it a Supreme Meito, I just want to know more."

Vulcan's cat ears perked up with a cheeky smile gracing her lips.

"The Supreme Meito weapons are weapons who are famous and used by the most powerful individuals, supernatural or human." Vulcan explained as she walked up to the poster, putting her hand on it to point at the listed blades under 'Supreme'. "Only a handful I am about to name are in use, but here are the only Supreme Meito."

Naruto was invested, stars in his eyes as Coriana and Ladora lacksadsically paid attention.

"Yoru, the Strongest Black Blade, used by the World's Strongest Swordsman, Dracule 'Hawkeye' Mihawk."

"Murakumogiri, the Naginata capable of Splitting the Heavens. It was used by Edward 'Whitebeard' Newgate, the Worlds Strongest Man."

"Ace, the Cutlass of Gol D. Roger, a Human who shook the world to its knees and creating the Great Pirate Era. He was called the Pirate King."

"D? But he wasn't a Yokai, so how could he have D?" Naruto asked, interrupting Vulcan.

"Well, doesn't mean he has to be a Yokai to have that… wait… how do you know of D?" Vulcan asked curiously, her eyes narrowing as she looked at Naruto.

Sweating, Naruto avoided her gaze, hand waving before his face.

"I read about it…" he mumbled, hoping Vulcan believed him.

"I see… anyway…" Vulcan continued, allowing Naruto to sigh in relief.

"Then there is Shodai Kitetsu, the Strongest of the Cursed Kitetsu swords. Anyone who wields a Kitetsu, Shodai, Nidai, or Sandai, are sent to an early grave."

"Then we have the Seven Swords of Kyoto, all of which are Supreme Meito." Vulcan continued.

"We have the Twin sword: Hiramekarei."

"The Blunt Sword: Kabutowari."

"The Thunder Swords: Kiba."

"The Sever Sword: Kubikiribocho."

Naruto shuddered at the memories of nearly dying at the edge of Kubikiribocho all those months ago.

Thankfully, nothing significant happened after that event, so Naruto counted his blessings.

"The Long Sword: Nuibari."

"The Blast Sword: Shibuki."

"Finally, the strongest of the Seven Swords of Kyoto, The Great Sword: Samehada."

Naruto's shoulder twitched in phantom pain.

Every so often, the old pain from that day came back to him.

His shoulder and back were still scarred from that day.

"Now we have the more European swords." Vulcan stated.

"The Dragon Slayer, Ascalon. It is super affective against dragons."

"The sword that slayed one hundred thousand Saracen men when wielded by Roland, Paladin of King Charlamagne, Durandal."

"Let me guess, Excalibur." Naruto said with a roll of his eyes.

"Yes, but you might be misinformed." Vulcan stated as she pointed at the poster. "At one point, Excalibur was broken and reforged into seven individual swords."

"Wait, what? Excalibur was destroyed?" Naruto asked stupidly, looking from Vulcan, to Coriana, and Ladora.

"Yes, Excalibur was broken and reforged by the church." Coriana explained, happy to see Naruto not looking at her with irritation or anger.

"Excalibur Destruction."

"Excalibur Mimic."

"Excalibur Rapidly."

"Excalibur Nightmare."

"Excalibur Transparency."

"Excalibur Blessing."

"Excalibur Ruler."

Vulcan looked Naruto in the eyes, hard.

"These seven swords, Ascalon, and Durandal are Holy Swords, Naruto."

"o-Okay…"

"It means…" Vulcan started.

"It means that if you are cut with any one of those nine swords," Ladora interrupted, turning Naruto and kneeling down to look him in the eyes with a serious look and tone. "You can die instantly with ONE cut. Do you understand?"

Naruto's eyes were wide.

"Just one?"

"Just one." Ladora replied, ignoring the angered glare Vulcan was sending him as he had taken her role as the exposition dump.

"But there is ONE MORE sword that I haven't mentioned." Vulcan cut in, trying to get the conversation focused onto her.

"What is it?"

"Well, before that, most of the swords I mentioned are still in use or currently waiting to be used." Vulcan explained. "Ace and Murakumogiri have been buried with their previous users."

"Okay…" Naruto replied in confusion. "What is the last…"

Vulcan's finger pressed itself against Naruto's lips, silencing him.

"The final sword to earn the title of Supreme Meito… the sword that killed the Two Heavenly Dragons, The Dragon Slayer made by my mentor, Godot."

Ladora, Coriana, and Naruto's eyes widened.

"What?" naruto asked, ruining the moment.

"The Twin Heavenly Dragons are two dragons that interrupted the Faction War." Coriana told him. "The Satan's, the Grigori, and the Archangels ordered weapons to be made that could slay a dragon."

"Correct." Vulcan expressed. "Master Godot made a sword that was perfect for killing dragons. Yes, I said earlier there is the Holy Sword called Ascalon that is super affective against dragons, Dragon Slayer is super affective… against everything that it hits. It can kill ghosts."

"Okay, now you're fucking with us!" Ladora laughed. "Kill a ghost! You're a riot!"

Vulcan didn't take slander lightly.

Ladora was thrown through the door.

"Don't bring him back." Vulcan asked Naruto as her hammer steamed.

"Understood." Naruto and Coriana said in unison.

"Good." Vulcan said with a cute smile.

After a few more minutes, Naruto, Coriana and Ladora left Vulcan's shop, and stopped by a small eatery for something to eat.

"Bitch…" Ladora grumbled as he ate his kebab.

"I know, she was scary for a small cat…" Coriana replied as she ate her sandwich.

Naruto drank a soda, his gaze absent as he leaned into his hand.

"Naruto, are you okay?" Coriana asked him in concern.

"Hm? Yeah." Naruto replied, stirring his straw in his soda. "Just wondering what I will have to do to make Yubashiri and Shigure Supreme Meito. It is… huge."

"It's Herculean, I mean, you'd have to do something like that kyubi from the history books." Ladora mentioned.

Naruto's ears perked up.

"What kitsune?" Naruto asked, since he trusted Sairaorg to not tell the rest of the peerage of his family.

"Ladora is talking about a revolutionary called The Ashura. He helped end the faction war." Coriana simplified.

"Oh, him." Naruto said sadly, drinking more of his soda in silence.

The silence permeated for several minutes.

"Naruto, I want to apologize. I know what I did was…" Coriana started to apologize.

"I won't forget," Naruto interrupted. "But I will forgive."

Coriana smiled in relief as a burden was lifted from her shoulders.

Meanwhile…

"I had to continue to argue until I was able to settle for the marriage being set after I graduate from university." Rias complained in the bath. "And on top of that, Sirzechs sealed away Gasper due to his Sacred Gear being too strong. So, one of my best pieces is unusable."

It was a circular bath room, the center being a sauna steam device, with circular rows of benches around it.

Rias sat naked with Sona Sitri, also naked, who was leaning onto her arm.

"Yes, Rias, I have heard this a hundred times before." Sona lulled in boredom.

"Well, I need to get more members, and then train them so I can get out of this marriage!"

"Why don't you ask Sairaorg to borrow that Kitsune you told me about?"

"No, I need to do this myself!"

"And how long do you plan to take before you are ready? Plus, from what you have told me, all of the members in your peerage have issues… and you aren't helping them through it."

Rias waved this off.

"It doesn't matter, they are doing fine."

"Rias, that isn't…"

"Sona, I need your help with getting out of this marriage!" Rias snapped in desperation, not anger. "I need someone to join my peerage that is super strong!"

Sona face palmed.

"You can't be Princess Peach in the castle waiting for Mario to rescue you, Rias, you need to prepare for at any moment shit could go sideways." Sona snips.

Rias scoffed.

"I am not being Princess Peach."

"Yeah, you are." Sona replied as she glared at Rias, not very well due to not having her glasses, being nearsighted.

"How am…"

The door to the bath.

Tsubaki, Akeno, and Koneko entered the bath.

"You were complaining how your Bishop was sealed away, meaning you couldn't use his Forbidden Balor View's Time Stop ability, so that tells me you want to have someone with an overwhelming ability to close the gap between you and Riser." Sona stated as the new additions to the bath sat down and made themselves comfortable.

As Rias continued to have her back and forth with Sona, Koneko stared in a deadpan expression at the older girls, specifically their breasts with envy.

'Why can't I have big boobs?' Koneko thought in annoyance, touching her own. 'I know, I am nine, but… SHE… was budding when she was nine, so why am I not?'

Human World, Amazon Lily…

Kuroka held Wado Ichimonji in her hands, eyes closed.

Her brow furled in concentration.

Kuroka was wearing Kuja clothing, to show how serious she was about her training under them, and to show respect.

Currently, Kuroka was wearing a gold with black shawl that covered her top half but leaves the shoulders bare. She wore nothing underneath this shawl and it is tied together at the middle of the breasts with a single bow. She wore a miniskirt made out of animal skin was a little too short for her comfort but she pushed this down.

instead of wearing the standard Kuja heeled boots, Kuroka adopted thin sandals made from woven straw.

"Come on!" Boa Marigold exclaimed as she taught Kuroka and many fledgling Kuja females. "Your Haki is your willpower! Push it into your weapons, and enhance their strengths!"

The Kuja under Marigold's care were more studied in Haki than Kuroka was, but she kept trying under the instruction of Marigold, and the eyes of Hancock.

Kuroka's wrists and hands turned black, before this sleek shine spread to Wado Ichimonji's handle.

The blade's silver shine was coated in this black force, much to Kuroka's happiness when she opened her eyes.

"Congratulations, Kuroka." Hancock said as she clapped her hands, Salome following behind her with a smile. "Just need to work on the speed of your application of your Armament Haki."

Kuroka, proud of the praise she was given, bowed.

"Thank you, Snake Princess." Kuroka said in honesty.

Hancock smiled at her student.

"Well, it is time I return to my home, I have work to do." Hancock said before a Kuja ran to her.

"SNAKE PRINCESS!"

"What is it?" Hancock stated in an authoritative tone. "Speak quickly!"

"There is an unknown ship near our shores, and it isn't Kamabakka!"

Hancock's eyes narrowed.

"Kuroka, join the crew. You are going to get some practical training." Hancock ordered Kuroka.

"Yes."

Ship…

Sabo took a deep breath with a smile as he felt the sea breeze whip across his face.

He had been traveling the world as a part of his training, ordered by his masters.

"Sir, we are nearing Amazon Lily." One of the ship mates told him. "It is not a good idea to get to close. The Kuja tribe doesn't like it when strangers get to close to their shores. They also tend to…"

"ATTACK!"

Sabo and the ship mate turned toward the island, and saw the Kuja ship, being pulled by large sea monsters, which made their speed unbelievable.

"MOVE, FULL FORCE TO STARBARD!" the captain shouted.

As the crew rushed to get their ship away, Sabo couldn't help but feel excitement, his fist sparking in flames.

He grabbed his pole as the crew armed themselves with guns and swords.

"NYA!"

Sabo looked up.

Kuroka, having jumped from the Kuja ship with the aid of her wings, swung Wado Ichimonji down upon Sabo in her hybrid form.

However, unlike Naruto and Lucci, who favored a 50/50 hybrid form, Kuroka's arms and legs were transformed instead for a 75/25 hybrid form.

Up to her forearms and her upper thighs were black cat fur, her teeth were fangs with claws on her fingers. Her legs had become digitigrade.

Sabo jumped from the ship, his grin taking up the majority of his face as he swung his weapon.

Flames spewed from the clash between Sabo and Kuroka.

Chapter 15, DONE!

I decided Guts' Dragon Slayer will be a Supreme Meito that killed Ddraig and Albion. It was made after they started their rampage, and Godot was hired to make a sword to kill a dragon, thus, Dragon Slayer earned its name. Yes, Ascalon is also called The Dragon Slayer as it is SUPER affective against Dragons, but Dragon Slayer is affective against ALL who it hits. So, I ask you, my dear readers, which sword is truly, the Slayer of Dragons?

Ascalon, the Dragon Slayer?

OR

Dragon Slayer, the Demon Slaying sword of the Black Swordsman?

Well, that was fun.

A lot of exposition, but don't worry, next chapter should not be as big of an exposition dump like this one.

I genuinely enjoyed every part of this chapter.

If you enjoyed the chapter, please leave a review, if you didn't like it, leave a review anyway because it helps me become a better author.
