Chapter 1: Return to Fairy Tail
The war against the Alvarez Empire is about to begin. The Straw Hat Pirates and the former warlord Jimbei decide to join in the fight.
Aquapad, Jula, Rena, Thorn, and Angel join to become members of Fairy Tail.
Usagi, Temukai, Pango, and Tigress the four Minks join Fairy Tail to assist in the war.
What battles will happen upon, I figured out some battles, even unexpected old friends reappearing.
Anyway, let's begin!
On the docks.
People were working gathering fish.
"The war between Fairy Tail and Alvarez Empire is about to start," A worker spoke.
"Yeah, I wonder how our wizards will be able to stand against them," Another said doubtfully.
"Sabertooth, Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, Quattro Cerabus, Fairy Tail, and Mermaid Heel will defend us!" A third worker proclaimed. "Also, I heard the emperors of Ishgar will be taking part in the war!"
"Even so, I heard Alvarez Empire has a lot of powerhouses, even with the guilds we have here, we don't know how strong they are,"
Doubt, tension, and fear were shown in some other workers.
Suddenly waves were on the surface. "What was that?"
Two pirate ships were coming close to the shore.
The workers started to get scared.
Not too far away.
Romeo, Maco, Wabaka, and Max were taking a walk.
"Man, it's been a month since Makarov and Natsu's team disappeared at sea."
"Yeah, I think the Alvarez Empire is getting impatient, they plan to start their invasion sometime today, without Makarov and the others, our chances are surviving are slim to none," Maco said worriedly.
"Man, this is just like what happened when our strongest members vanished for seven years," Wabaka moped sadly.
"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll return soon," Max assured.
"Everyone run for your lives!" A citizen was running away from the opposite direction.
"Pirates are invading Hargeon Town!"
"What pirates!?" Romeo questioned.
"Let's go!" Maco ordered.
The two ships stopped at the dock.
Surprisingly, Hisui's royal guard, Arcadios was there with ten palace soldiers. "What's all the commotion!"
He saw two pirate ships. "Pirate ships...why are they here, are they working for Alvarez Empire?"
"Hey!" Natsu stood on the front-rear waving his arm. "We're home!"
"Aye!" Happy cheered.
Arcadios was surprised. "Natsu, you returned, is the others fine!"
The rest of Fairy Tail, five Sabortooth wizards, and two Mermaid Heel wizards stood behind the fire dragon slayer.
"Natsu!" Romeo called out almost in tears.
"You guys are alright!" Maco cried as tears fell from his eyes.
"Glad you guys are back!" Wakaba said with a smirk.
"Makarov is safe too!" Max cried happily.
Then a boy wearing a Strawhat stood on the Sunny's lion-like head. "Hey!"
Monkey D. Luffy
Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates
Devil Fruit: Gum-Gum
"Who are you?" Arcadios asked.
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy!" The rubber boy replied with a huge grin.
The captain of the Cherry Blossom Holy Knight Squadron observed the young man. "Quite the unusual..." He saw the huge grin on the boy's face. "Why...does he remind me of Natsu?" He realized he was getting off the topic, so, he decided to question the boy.
"Tell me, I'm guessing you came here with Fairy Tail?" He asked.
"You bet, armor guy!" Luffy replied his grin not leaving his face.
Aracdios' eyes twitched at the silly nickname. "Armor guy..."
He realized something odd about the boy. "Strange...I don't detect any magic from him, he said, he had a crew, but, I sense other magic." Things were becoming strange, so, he decided to get more information. "Young man, where is your crew?"
Faint footsteps were approaching from behind.
There stood Luffy's crew.
"Man, I guess we got an unfriendly welcome,"
Roronoa Zoro
Swordsman/Vice Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates
"Who is that armor dude?"
Nami
Navigator and Map Designer of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Crap, those are knights, are they going to cut our heads off?"
Usopp
Sniper of the Straw Hat Pirates
"My, I wonder if the town has books about history,"
Nico Robin
Archaeologist of the Straw Hat Pirates
Devil Fruit: Flower-Flower
"Yohohohoh, talk about a crowd,"
Brook
Musician of the Straw Hat Pirates
Skills: Swordsman
Devil Fruit: Revive-Revive
Arcadios was stunned at what he was seeing. "What the hell...is that skeleton talking?" His men were just as confused and frightened as well.
Maco, Romeo, Max, and Wabaka shared the same reaction.
"Dad, do you see that?"
"Wow, this town is huge, I wonder if we'll see more!"
Tony Tony Chopper
Doctor of the Straw Hat Pirates
Devil Fruit: Human-Human
"A raccoon dog?" Max asked.
"Hey, can't you see the antlers, I'm reindeer!" Chopper yelled with shark teeth.
"Holy crap, it talks too!" A guard pointed out.
"This town has a lot of buildings, but, I have a feeling that there's more to see,"
Jimbei
Whaleshark Fishman
Former Warlord of the Government/Member of the Sun Pirates
"Who or what is that?" A guard wondered.
"What kind of creature is he?" Wakaba asked almost afraid.
"Beats me, but, I guess he's friendly," Max guessed.
"SUPER...we made it to the Fiore!"
Cyborg Franky
Shipwright of the Straw Hat Pirates
Former leader of the Franky Family
"That guy isn't wearing any pants!" Romeo exclaimed in shock.
"Man, I hope these people will be ready for a party once we celebrate our win,"
Sanji
Cook of the Straw Hat Pirates
Arcadios didn't know what creatures he was seeing, but, gawking wouldn't get him any answers. "Alright, what kind of members are those?"
"Arcadios, it's okay, they're friends," Makarov assured.
"Yes, we can assure you that they mean no harm!" Erza agreed.
Makarov went onto the port. "Max, Wakaba, Romeo, Maco, all of you, I would like you to meet some new members."
Akame, Leone, Chelsea, Fujik, Miyaka, the four minks, Aquapad, and his friends approached the four wizards.
"Hey boys!" Leone spoke.
Akame smiled without saying a word.
Chelsea felt a bit awkward. "Hi..."
Aquapad grinned. "Hi, I'm Aquapad and-"
Sting abruptly spoke, "Makarov, my group and I will be going back to the Sabertooth Guild, we must prepare them for the upcoming battle."
"Same here," Kagura agreed. "We'll inform every female wizard of Mermaid Heel right away."
Makarov gave them a nod as the other allied wizards left. "Sorry to put a stop to this introduction, but, we have to get going, once we're there we can introduce our new members and their history."
Arcadios had one thing to say. "Makarov, I will report to Hisui and inform them of your return, we'll get our preparations ready for the upcoming war."
"Right," Makarov turned to his children. "Everyone, let's get to the guild at once!"
Fujika and Miyaka followed too.
The citizens nearby were surprised to see unusual creatures.
"Is that rabbit?"
"There's a tiger!"
"Look at the size of that Buffalo!"
"Big panda bear!"
"Look mommy, giant walking fish guys!"
"Is that mermaid!?"
"This is awkward," Tigress muttered.
"I know, our appearances are striking as ever," Rena added.
"That purple-haired woman, quite the skimpy outfit!" A man citizen pointed out practically drooling.
"Who is that other girl with the hair ribbon and is she carrying a gun?"
"Whoa, is that a raccoon dog?"
"Eek! That big man with sunglasses isn't wearing any pants!" A woman shrieked out of embarrassment.
Brook looked at two young ladies. "Wow, such beautiful ladies."
"Eek! Talking skeleton!" The two ladies screamed in unison.
Despite the gawking, screams, and weird comments that were given by the citizens, Fairy Tail, and their new friends continued.
At the Fairy Tail's bar, some members were doing some work a few were just drinking.
"Our jobs are still on, but, we can't get done without our strongest members!"
"Man, this is just like what happened when they went missing for seven long years!"
"Where'd Macao and the others go off now?" Warren asked.
"They went to Hargeon Town on the portal," Reed answered, who was painting.
Vijeetr was doing his dance. "Look at me, I'm dancing like a court jester."
"Geez, this again," Nab muttered annoyingly.
Alzack was sitting at a table with his wife Bisca and daughter Asuka.
"Man, it's been a whole month and Natsu's team didn't return yet."
"We're even lucky that the Alvarez Empire gave us some time to wait for the others to return."
"Daddy...mommy...is Natsu, Lucy, and Happy coming home."
The two realized their doubts got their cute daughter worried and sad. "Oh, don't worry your little head, they're coming home."
Macao, Romeo, Wakaba, and Max soon burst into the guild.
"Macao, Romeo, Wakaba, Max, where'd you guys come from?!" Warren asked a little startled.
Macao decided to answer that, but, he saw his son's face, and he then realized his son wanted to make the announcement.
Romeo took a deep breath. "EVERYONE IN NATSU'S GROUP RETURNED WITH MAKAROV!"
Makarov, Natsu's team, Gajeel, Levy, Lily, the Thunder Region, Gildarts, Cana, and Mest stood with smiles on their faces.
"Hey, we're back!" Natsu spoke.
Their guild maters were so happy to see their friends home safe and sound. All were in tears of joy.
"Also..." Everyone looked at Makarov. "Akame, Leone, and Chelsea would like to make an announcement, but, first we'll introduce our other newest members!"
Aquapad and his friends entered the guild.
"Hi there," Aquapad spoke with his hand up. "I'm Aquapad, the Marlin Fishman."
Jula revealed her extra arms crossed two her arms while two other hands were placed on her hips. "Hello, I'm Jula, the Squid-Fish woman.
"She's pretty..." Warren spoke
"And looks tough too," Reedus commented.
Thorn was floating in the air. "Hi, I'm Thorn the Thorn Seahorse Merman."
Angela waved sweetly at the wizards. "Hi, I'm Angela, the Angel Fish woman.
"She's so cute..." Wakaba and Macao thought with perverted smiles.
Like Thorn, Rena was floating in the air thanks to her bubble coating. "Hello everyone, I'm Rena, the Mermaid Human Hybrid!"
"A mermaid..." Naba started with gawking expression.
"Human hybrid!" Warren and
The entire Fairy Tail members were gawking at what they were seeing.
Usagi, Tigress, Temukai, and Pango did a bow.
"I'm Usagi, the Rabbit Mink," Usagi spoke.
"Snort..snort...I'm Temukai the Water Buffalo Mink," Temukai introduced with a huge grin.
"I'm Tigress the Tiger Mink, I hope we can get along fine," Tigress said with a small smile.
Pango waved with a goofy grin. "I'm Pango the Panda Bear Mink,"
The other guild members were at a loss for words until Warren and Nab spoke
"We got talking animals..."
"Fishmen...Seahorse merman and mermaid human..."
There was silence in the air, at first, everyone thought that introduction went wrong.
"YAAAAYYYYYY!" The guild members cheered excitedly.
"I don't what creatures Makarov and the others brought, but, who cares!"
"Yeah, we got new members, and they aren't humans!"
"We have creatures in our guild, so awesome!"
"Four more Beautiful smoking hotties too!"
"Perverts..." Jula, Tigress, Angela, and Rena thought in unison.
Aquapad on the other hand was so happy to be expected into the guild.
Everyone went to shake the Minks and the Fishman's hands.
"Glad to you meet you!" Warren offered his hand to Jula.
"Same here!" She took hold of the telepathy mage's hand though her grip was something.
"Wow, you're strong!" He yelped comically.
Wakaba and Macao approached Rena, Jula, and Angela.
"Ladies, we didn't properly introduce ourselves, I'm Wakaba,"
"I'm Macao, the former guild master of Fairy Tail."
"Hello," Rena bowed.
The two old wizards then had perverted smiles on their faces. "Say, how would you girls like to have dinner with us?"
"Yeah, we promise we'll treat you girls like princesses!"
Bonk Bonk
Leone and Lucy delivered punches on the two old geezer's heads leaving red lumps.
"Perverts..."
"That's for sure..."
"Owie..." The two old wizards groaned in pain.
Makarov cleared his throat. "Ahem, there's more people that came here with us, but, only as allies, ones that aid us against the Alvarez Empire."
Everyone in Fairy Tail saw some new faces come inside the guild.
"Yo!" Luffy spoke with a huge grin. "I'm Monkey D. Luffy!"
The other members didn't know how to react.
"Monkey D..."
"Luffy..."
"He's got a huge grin..."
"Why does he remind me of Natsu?"
"Also, allow me to introduce you guys to my crew,"
Zoro took a few steps. "This is Zoro, the swordsman, and vice-captain of my crew."
"Hmph..." The green-haired swordsman grunted.
"He looks scary..." Warren said a hint of fear in his tone.
"Yes, but, for some reason, I don't detect any magic from him," Naba whispered.
"You're right none of our recruits except for Akame, Chelsea, and Leone have magic," Reedus commented.
"Yes, such mysterious sea guys they are," Laki added.
Sanji took a few steps forward. "This is Sanji, the cook of my crew and black leg fighter too!"
The curly brow cook smirked. "Hey there..." He began to twirl around as he took Bisca's hands. "I like that outfit, such beauty you have m'lady!"
Alzack wasn't like this, but before he could muster a word, his wife delivered on the cook's face. "Get away creep!"
"Such pervy curly brow," Laki muttered.
"Moron..." Zoro grumbled.
"What'd you call me moss head!?" Sanji abruptly shouted getting up in a split second.
"We're in the middle of introduction, you curly brow idiot!" Zoro barked as he and the cook glared at each other.
"Why does this look so familiar?" Warren asked with his hand under his chin.
Bonk Bonk
Nami delivered two punches at the two pirate idiots leaving them unconscious on the floor.
"C'mon you two knock it off!" The navigator demanded with shark teeth.
"Whoa, she's scary!" Jet and Droy yelled in unison.
The navigator cleared her throat. "Anyway, I'm Nami, I'm a Navigator and have the skills to draw maps."
"Wow, she's dressed like Bisca," Macao whispered to Wakaba.
The smoke mage chuckled pervertedly. "Yeah, image what kind of bikini that chick wears."
"What are you two perverts thinking about?" The two old mages saw an angry Nami looking at them.
"Nothing!" The two replied with their eyes popping out.
Usopp did a thumbs-up pose. "Hello, I'm Usopp, sniper expert and the leader of thousand men!"
"Wow, are you a sniper!?" Asuka asked eagerly.
Usopp smiled. "That's right, little girl, take a look at this tool of mine."
Bisca and Alzack were a bit impressed and intrigued at the strange-looking slingshot.
"Are you a leader of thousand men for real!?" Asuka asked.
Just before Usopp was about to answer, Nami covered his mouth. "Don't answer that..." She whispered to the long-nose man, who nodded.
Robin saw her turn was up. "I'm Nico Robin, Archaeologist and able to read ancient writing."
"She looks hot..." Vijeeter swooned with hearts in his eyes.
"Oui..." Reed nodded.
"You know, we have Archaeologists here Magnolia too," Warren spoke.
Robin was very intrigued to hear that. "I see, I hope I get to meet them."
"Hello dudes, I'm Franky!" Franky did his super stance. "I'm a Cyborg and the shipwright, I can modify any machines!"
"Yikes, that pervert is not wearing any pants!" Laki exclaimed completely flustered.
Kinana looked away shyly.
"Young man, don't you have any decency!?" Bisca asked.
"Sorry sister, but, this is my style!" Franky replied with a huge grin. "Also, I'd be happy to show what weapons I have to help you in this battle!"
Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, and some of the Fairy Tail wizards knew what he was referring to.
"Yeah, the giant robot!"
"What they are talking about?" Macao asked.
Makarov chuckled. "Oh, you kids will find out."
Chopper waved his hoove-like hand. "Hi, I'm Tony Tony Chopper, I'm the doctor of my crew, any injuries you guys get in the war, I'll treat you."
"Oh, he's so cute!" Kinana said in a cutie tone.
"Such a cute little critter," Laki cried with a playful smile.
Chopper began to do his happy dance. "Aw, saying flattery like that isn't going to make me happy you jerks!"
"You look happy..." Nab, Max, Wakaba, Romeo, Warren, and Reedus said in unison.
Brook began to approach. "Hello, I'm Soul King Brook, also, the musician of my crew, I do hope we can get along fine."
"Freaky..." Jet and Droy said a little scared.
Brook then saw Kinana. "Oh my, are you the bartender at this bar?"
"Uhh...yes, I'm Kinana, if you're thirsty or hungry, I'll be at your service," She answered nervously.
Brook bowed his head. "I appreciate it, though, can I ask you..." He took a short breath. "Miss Kinana, can you show me your panties?"
"Huh!?" Kinana said a bit freaked out.
The other members were stunned at such a question.
Bonk
"You idiot, don't ask her that," Nami muttered in a whispering tone, but, she then delivered a second bonk on the skeleton's head. "And, no way in hell am I going to show mine!"
"Scary again..." Droy and Jet thought comically hugging each other in horror.
"At last, but not least," Luffy spoke.
Jimbei approached the other members. "Hi, I'm Jimbei, a Whale Shark Fishman, also, a former warlord and a new upcoming member of Luffy's crew."
"That guy is huge," Warren said completely taken by the size of the Fishman.
"He's even bigger than the others," Naba added.
"Hold on, what do you mean by former warlord?" Max asked.
Macao was a little curious about the recruits and allies that stand before him and the others. "Excuse me, master Makarov and...Erza, where did you find these guys?"
Makarov looked at the news recruits as well as their new friends and allies. "I think we start with Akame, Leone, and Chelsea."
The three former assassins nodded, knowing what to expect and how the others will react. "Okay, we're all about to tell you all something very important, also, Mest, we'll need your assistant."
Mest nodded his head.
At the Tartaros Guild
Mard Geer was in his former throne room.
"Ooh...poor Jackal, Dr. Stylish, Leon, Syka, and Aquaus, all of them have perished...however..."
In the Tartaros lab
Leon, Aquaus, Dr. Stylish(rather Goliath), and Syka were in containers, they were in sleep mode and their bodies begin to regenerate.
"To think their spirits would find their way back to our world despite them being in another,"
Kay
Necromancer/Ghoul Demon
Curse Powers: Neo-Necromancer/Stealth
"Yes, but, soon our comrades will be awakened and ready to cause hell again...as well as my children...too bad Hell's core wasn't rebuilt in time to revive the others lost in the world of corruption and evil,"
Rachena
Spider Demon
Curse: Web
"Hiss...I shall spread fear into those lowly primates..." A humanoid-like reptile resembling a monitor lizard with a strong muscular body that and about taller than Jimbei. He wore a black leather jacket and green baggy pants, he wore no footwear. He had a reptile-like snout with rows of sharp teeth and humanoid hands with sharp claws and a tail on his lower back.
Slither
Reptilian Demon
Curse: Revenge
Ability: Regenaration
"Yes, each detail that Mard Geer has shared with us gave me some ideas for my curse power to create..." A demon female that had black hair that went down to her lower back and wearing a similar scientist outfit to Lamy's, though her footwear was high heels.
Shino
Mad Scientist Diva
Curse: Creation
Weapon designer of Tartaros
"Anyway, fufufufu...you mentioned before you suspect who E.N.D is your majesty," Lamy asked which got every other Demon's attention.
"Is that true Underworld King?" Shino asked.
Mard Geer had his eyes closed for a minute until he opened them. "Yes...though it's just theory...anyway, for now, we need to focus on Fairy Tail's war against Alvarez Empire, not only that their Emperor Spriggan is also Lord Zeref."
The Demons gasped in surprise. "Does that mean we'll get to see our creator!?" Lamy asked.
"If things go according to plan then, we shall," Mard Geer replied as another thought occurred to him. "It'll be time to exact my revenge." The memory of his creator destroying his book and killing him was like a knife stabbing him in the back. "Zeref...we shall meet again and this time, it'll be different, no matter what, our purpose is to kill you..perhaps if my theory is correct, we'll know who E.N.D is."
At the Sabertooth Guild
Sting's group was having a meeting with their other guild members.
"Let me get this straight, Fairy Tail went to another world, where pirates and these navy guys rule?" Orga asked completely perplexed.
"That's correct, honestly, I heard there are countless pirates causing havoc across different parts of the sea not to mention there are corrupted people like these nobles caused the Celestial Dragons," Sting spoke.
"Yes, they're quite wicked for nobles, they enjoy making commoners suffer like it's entertainment to them," Yukino commented with disgust.
"Not to mention that the Navy isn't doing anything about those noble families," Lector added.
"Those Celestial Dragon bastards practically have the navy wrapped around their fingers," Rogue hissed in anger.
"They're so mean too," Frosch commented.
Minerva had her piece to say. "Yes, but, it seems Fairy Tail has recruited more people not to mention you guys brought these Straw Hat pirates them."
"Yeah, I know those guys are pirates, but, they're still nice people, despite that their captain Luffy is like Natsu, he's reliable and loyal to his friends," Sting replied.
"At any rate, we'll have new allies that'll sure be worth remembering," Rufus said tilting his hat.
"Another thing, Tartaros is still out there, no doubt, they'll attack once the war begins, so, anyone is on their guard and we'll show the Alvarez Empire Sabartooth's power!" Sting declared with sheer determination.
"YEAH!" The other members roared.
At the Mermaid Heel.
Kagura and Millianna revealed their adventure through the world of pirates and the navy.
"So, there's another world out there,"
Arana Webb
"Not only that, there's an island called Fishman Island, that has mermaids...real ones,"
Beth Vanderwood
"This is quite the interesting story,"
Risley Law
"Meow, the world of pirates is insane, there's more sea than land, though, and there are sure to be countless islands, also, we learned of their four ocean seas, South Blue, North Blue, West Blue, and East Blue," Millianna explained.
"Grand Line also has another sea known as the New World, that's where these four pirate emperors rule," Kagura added. "From what Jimbei the former warlord mentioned, she must be strong as the Alvarez Empire or perhaps more."
"Meow, that makes two of us," Millianna commented.
"What scares me the most, is that Tartaros is still among us," Beth said a little scared.
Arana had her say on that detail. "Right, no doubt those monsters are going to intervene in the war, so, on top of that Alvarez is going to attack probably sooner than later."
"In any case, we need to be careful, those Demons will attack whenever they have the chance," Kagura said narrowing her eyes with seriousness. "So, once the time comes, we'll show Alvarez Empire what happens when they threaten us and our friends!"
"YEAH!" Her female guild mates cheered.
Back at the Fairy Tail Guild.
Fairy Tail's other wizards learned of Akame, Leone, and Chelsea's history, learning of them being part of the Revolutionary army. A group of assassins known as Night Raid took jobs from their clients and assassinated any targets that were corrupted and doing harm to innocents. They each got to see the Night Raid assassins.
The Straw hat pirates see the person that wore the suit of armor was none other than Bulat, a former Imperial soldier, though, he defected after seeing the Empire's true colors. Though, learning that he was into other guys wasn't what the Straw Hats nor some of the Fairy Tail wizards were expecting. Even the Minks and Fishmen were totally in awe of learning of something like that.
Sanji, Zoro, Brook, and Usopp were creeped out.
Luffy didn't get it, as he was oblivious as usual.
Robin just giggled.
Gajeel, Lily, and Levy showed their memory of watching Tatsumi fight against Ogre, learning of his evil doings and does that were beyond unforgivable.
Sanji was disgusted at the thought of making a woman suffer and making her cry by killing her fiance.
Luffy was beyond enraged, but he cooled down as soon as Orge was slain by Tatsumi.
Akame showed a memory of what happened after Tatsumi returned to the case, which led to her body scanning him, much to Lucy, Nami, and Chelsea's shock.
Sanji and Brook were beyond envious. "That bastard..."
Gray, Juvia, Taran, and Gajeel's team showed what they did during their time helping Night Raid take out each of their targets by helping to break into secret hideouts.
Sheele and Levy became friends due to their love for books, Levy even shared her time telling the airheaded girl about a book she got from the Celestial World, and told her of Lucy writing a book, though, she wanted to be the first one to read it, she promised that she would share it with her.
Lucy was happy to hear that.
However, such a promise had to be not fulfilled, the scene showed Mine with the others outside during a rainy night, revealing Sheele's death at the hands of a girl from the Imperial Guard.
Chopper, Usopp, Franky, and Nami felt a bit sorry for the Night Raid assassins, who lost a friend.
Luffy was enraged as much as Tatsumi was, only for Bulat to intervene and remind the boy of how they work though it was clear he was just as angry too, but, he kept his composure.
Levy was just hurt as the others were knowing that her promise won't be made.
Akame showed her memory of her little chat with Tatsumi, which leads to her breaking down after Tatsumi points out her calmness, but, it is obvious that she calm as Tatsumi says she is. Her tears showed her pain, sadness, and broke hearted. Tatsumi then punches himself to get his senses back together and makes a new promise to Akame.
Franky, Brook, Chopper, and Usopp bawled their eyes out with joy and respect for the boy. "Oh! Tatsumi's such a kind-hearted guy!"
Sanji had other thoughts. "That bastard better keep his promise since he's making one to a girl."
Brook wasn't feeling envious though. "Quite the declaration."
Jimbei observed the scenery seeing the fire in the boy's eyes made him realize how spirited he was. "He's someone I could respect."
Leone remembered this, she was happy to hear that declaration again.
Akame smiled a bit, knowing that he kept his promise in the end.
the former minister and his daughter were about to be killed by the three beasts, only to be saved by Gajeel, Lily, Levy, and Taran.
Taran reveals herself being a prisoner whom Erza was imprisoned once upon during childhood.
Then another village not further away was attacked and blamed Night Raid for it.
Gray, Juvia, Bulat, and Tatsumi boarded a ship.
Luffy, Franky, Usopp, and Chopper were amazed despite it wasn't a battleship.
Nami wondered if there were any goodies on the ship, as in treasure since the boat was all fancy.
One of the three beasts was playing their flute-like Imperial Arms known as Scream to put everyone on the ship to sleep.
Tatsumi fights with one named Dadara, who has an Imperial Arms, Bulat intervenes the moment he sees Tatsumi makes a reckless move. Bulat summons his armor, he and Gray knock away two, and the other Dadara is killed.
One named Liver approaches Bulat, revealing the two were once partners in the Imperial army, but, Liver was accused of a crime and was taken away. He and Bulat duel each other.
Tatsumi and Gray take on Nyau, though, the strange feline-like boy was more strong than he appeared to be.
Bulat and Liver's Imperial Arms were deactivated after the immense power they used. Liver then requested that his former partner and Gray should join Esdeath's army, but only the two refused to do so.
Liver and Bulat decided to take each other out using their blades.
Zoro was impressed, though, he was mostly gazing at the Imperial Arms that Bulat wielded.
Bulat delivered a lethal blow to Liver, however, he manipulated his blood in the form of blades.
Nami, Lucy, Chopper, Laki, and other Fairy Tail wizards were disgusted at the attack.
Zoro saw how strong the attack was despite how disturbing it was.
Bulat manage to deflect most of the blood swords, only taking a few hits to his arms and legs, but, Liver also revealed his injected poison into his blood, which concluded that Bulat won't have much time to live.
Nyau used his trump card to make himself bigger and stronger.
Bulat gave the newbie his Imperial Arms, Tatsumi was a bit hesitant to wear it after a warning from Nyau, but, Bulat reminded his friend to think of his training and experiences.
Tatsumi was inspired by his mentor's speech and decided to use the weapon, which summoned out the Dragon that was living within the armor.
Natsu was astonished at what he was seeing.
"Where'd that dragon come from!?" Usopp comedically yelled.
Leone laughed. "The Incuriso was made from the S-Class Danger Beast known as Tyrant, it was capable of surviving through the burning hot desert and coldness of the frozen area...to this day, the dragon's flesh is still alive!"
"That is so cool!" Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, Franky, and Natsu yelled with sparkly eyes.
Robin had to admit that these legendary weapons had such power.
Tatsumi's armor was on him and he along with Gray and Juvia teamed up and took down Nyau once and for all.
Bulat was soon dead but with a smile on his face.
Everyone felt sad that Bulat died.
Zoro had other thoughts. "He might've been a strange guy, but, he's someone I can respect."
Sanji lit a cigarette. "Yeah, that guy is someone I wouldn't dream of being next to, but, he's a loyal person."
Jimbei had to agree. "Indeed, despite the unique behavior, he's a well-respected man."
Miyaka agreed as well. "Yes, he's a true friend and always gives good advice about battles."
Eventually, Night Raid decided to do some training, and Najenda informs her group of delivering the three Imperial Arms to the Revolutionary Army.
Lubbock then had a meeting with Gray, Juvia, Tatsumi, and Leone, learning about General Esdeath, and martial arts tournament, and prize money.
"Did someone say something about prize money!" Nami questioned excitedly with money-like signs in her eyes.
"Just calm down Nami," Lucy and Usopp whispered.
During the martial arts tournament, Tatsumi defeats a steer-like man, though, Gray makes it to the finales, fighting a martial art warrior Carlos.
Gray emerges as the winner, then is approached by General Esdeath.
Sanji was smitten by the blue-haired woman's beauty. "Wow, she's so hot!"
"Yohohoho! I wonder if she'll show me her panties!" Brook laughed.
"Seriously!" Usopp, Chopper, Lucy, and Juvia exclaimed comically.
Esdeath then began to approach closer to Gray, who seemingly thought she was getting the prize money, only that she places a collar on his neck. "Starting today, you'll belong to me and only me."
The general began to drag Gray away, only the ice mage began to struggle, but, the general pulled him closer to her and she struck the back of his head which knocked him unconscious.
Everyone especially the Straw Hat Pirates, Minks, and Aquapad along with his friends minus Robin were completely stunned but mostly confused about what just happened.
The scene turned to Gray being tied up, Esdeath was there, but she wasn't alone, she had a new team of people.
"Who are those guys?" Nami asked.
"Her new team is known as the Jaegers," Akame answered not even blinking.
Sanji was smitten once more after seeing Kurome and Seryu.
"Focus moron!" Usopp demanded with shark teeth.
Esdeath revealed that Gray of being her lover, much to Sanji and Brook's chargin.
The general asked if any of her team are in a relationship or married. One had their hand raised, which belonged to Bols, who was married to a woman and had a daughter. Esdeath asked for advice on how to get Gray to return her affections.
Sanji glared at the ice mage. "That lucky bastard..."
Juvia disliked Esdeath even more than she did when she heard of this, but, seeing it was another.
Timeskip
Gray was scouting the forest with Kurome, who was suspicious of him, though, a group of tree-like danger beasts surprised and attacked the two, but, they eventually fought back.
Gray managed to escape later and reunites with Juvia and Akame, only their reunion was short-lived by Esdeath's sudden appearance.
Gray takes on the general, who demonstrates her Blood Type in Imperial Arms.
Her ice powers were strong, and Robin flinched as a reminder of her enemy Aokiji.
Gray revealed his Ice Demon Slayer magic and used it to overcome Esdeath's ice and send her flying away.
The Straw Hat Pirates, the Minks, the Fishmen islanders, and Fairy Tail cheered at Gray's victory.
"Cool! Gray kicked her ass!" Luffy cheered.
"Not bad," Zoro praised with a small smile.
Sanji was upset. "I know she was the enemy, but, striking a woman is beyond uncool!"
"Gee, you got to be dramatic!" Usopp, Chopper, and Lucy said in unison.
Later, Gray revealed what he learned of the Jaegers, also, the Straw Hats and everyone else in Fairy Tail learn that Kurome is Akame's younger sister.
Elfman, Lisanna, and Mirajane still remember how Kurome's bitterness towards her older sister Akame.
Jimbei had never seen two sisters wanting to kill each other, however, it was almost similar to what he and Arlong tried to do, but, he couldn't bring himself to kill someone that was like a brother to him.
Franky felt sad that Akame and Kurome were enemies and had the desire to kill each other.
Luffy couldn't imagine he and his brother wanted to kill each other either.
Dr. Stylish and his team invade Night Raid's hideout, each of the members fighting against the Stylish team. Gajeel helped Leone from Troma, who was planning to ambush the blonde woman in the water hole.
Tatsumi, Taran, and Mine come across a large man named Kaku, who was wielding Extase, then Elfman appears and takes on Kaku, easily overpowering the large man.
Mine held the Extase in her arms remembering Sheele was once the user, Erza then showed up.
Najanda arrived on Air Manta.
"Whoa, that thing is huge!" Luffy, Chopper, Usopp, and Nami exclaimed comically.
Jimbei was astonished. "A manta...on land..."
Aquapad and his friends shared the former warlord's reaction.
"An Air Manta..." Aquapad began to say.
"Amazing..." Jula said completely surprised.
Thorn had his eyes popping out. "That thing doesn't need a bubble coating either!"
"That's for sure, I bet we could ride on it and perhaps Neptune could use one like that!" Angela commented.
"I doubt he or his family could, they're bigger than the Manta," Rena pointed out.
The minks were completely astonished.
"To think creatures like exist!" Pango exclaimed with his eyes popping.
"Snort...snort...amazing creatures Night Raid has in their world."
Tigress was impressed. "That world is full of surprises."
"Interesting indeed," Usagi said with his hand under his chin.
Tatsumi, Elfman, Lubbock, Mine, Leone, Gajeel, Tatsumi, and Juvia met up.
Just the same masked skimpy outfit men ambushed the helpless Night Raid assassins,
"Why didn't they set off my trap?" Lubbock asked.
Then most of everyone fell to the ground.
Juvia then used her water mass to help others breathe. "Juvia's water mass should help prevent any poison in the air from entering your bodies."
Erza and Mirajane arrived just in time and sent the masked men away.
A dark blue-haired man appeared out of nowhere.
"Who's that guy?" Chopper asked curiously.
Akame smiled. "Susanoo..."
Susanoo saw Mine on the ground and approached her.
"What is he doing?" Sanji asked glaring.
Susanoo crouched down and straight out Mine's messed up hair. "Fixed..."
"Huh?" The female sniper wondered in confusion.
Lucy couldn't blame her.
Najanda found the attackers and their leader, she then ordered her Imperial Arms to intercept them.
Not too long, Dr. Stylish and his last remaining men flee only for Gray, Gajeel, Lily, and Lisanna, who arrived later.
Dr. Stylish took out a syringe and injected whatever serum was inside his arm. "This is the ultimate Stylishness...I successfully merged myself with a Danger Beast so that I can personally kick your ass!"
"Holy crap, he's huge!" Usopp and Chopper shrieked with their eyes popping out.
"Oh my, did he do that himself?" Brook cringed in disgust.
"Talk about insane," Franky commented.
It got worse when Dr. Stylish started to devour his remaining teammates including the big-eared girl, which enraged Sanji.
Dr. Stylish's mutant form grew bigger and bigger.
After some teamwork, they brought Dr. Stylish down and Akame delivered the killing blow using her Imperial Arms.
They all went to another location where Susanoo demonstrated his strength, cooking skills, and house chores.
Seeing a different kind of meat made Luffy, Akame, and Natsu drool especially when Happy saw the fish that the Human Imperial Arms caught.
Levy revealed the small conversation she had with Chelsea including the cold opinion or rather fact of Bulat and Sheele's skills.
Some of the other Fairy Tail wizards were upset at Chelsea's advice, though, Akame eventually eased the tension by revealing she was just worried about their safety and remind of the work of assassins.
"Oh! Chelsea is so caring!" Franky cried in a joyful tone.
"Do you have to cry so loud?" Present Chelsea sweatdropped.
Later, the Night Raid took on some new Danger beasts that resembled humans.
Franky was perplexed at the creatures, learning that someone was mutating humans and turning them into monsters. He remembered the blueprints of bio-creatures, though, seeing creatures that resembled humans was quite disturbing.
"Who would do something like this?" Robin asked.
"If I have to take a guess, probably that Dr. Stylish person, he create that serum to himself into that monstrous mutant," Sanji guessed.
"Man, who knew scientists could create something like that," Aquapad commented.
"I don't want to think of him doing to Fishmen or merfolk," Rena thought nervously.
Later, they were having fun at a nearby lake.
Leone, Chelsea, Juvia, Taran, Erza, and Mira were in their bikinis.
Sanji was a lover boy struck at the beautiful ladies in swimsuits. "Oh yeah!"
Brook was in awe while blushing red. "Yohohohoho! Such beauty before us, my eyes are popping out...if I had any eyes...skeleton joke!"
Lubbock shared their reaction. "Girls...in... bikinis...so...hot..."
Leone, Chelsea, and Juvia approached Gray and Tatsumi, questioning which one has the best bikini.
"Those bastards..." Sanji muttered with enviousness.
Time passes as each of the Night Raid and Fairy Tail have some training sessions together and some friendly chit-chats.
Mirajane and Lisanna were shown to be helping a young girl, who explains what happened to her and her companions.
"Hold on, she's talking about that Seryu chick?" Wakaba asked.
"I figured she would a bit nuts, but..." Macao began to say.
"Not everyone is perfect," Zoro spoke getting everyone to look at him. "If there's one thing I learned through human nature, people aren't perfect, and on top of that looks can devising. "
Sanji hated to admit it, but the vice-captain had a point.
"I have to admit, you're quite wise, I can see why you're the vice-captain," Gildarts complimented.
Zoro smiled proudly.
"Despite that, you have a bad sense of direction," The S-Class wizard continued.
Zoro face faulted on the floor then got back up. "Oh shut up!"
Sanji chuckled in amusement.
Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Wendy, and Carla showed their arrival and they soon approach a snow village on the outskirts.
Then, the five come across a mother and her daughter being attacked by a humanoid danger beast.
Natsu and Wendy both take on the monster, Lucy finishes it off using Taurus.
Sanji scoffed. "That pervert cow again."
Soon the scene changes and Najanda has an important discussion.
"The Revolutionary Army is raising as we speak, it's time to explain our first order of business!"
"What does she mean by that?" Angela asked.
As if Najanda heard the Angel Fish Fish woman. "Have you heard of the pact Religious known as the Path of Peace?"
"Path of Peace?" Nami wondered.
"Oh yeah, I remember that was something happening in my village, in fact, the day I left, the mayor gave me a statue of their god." Tatsumi summarized.
Najanda nodded her head. "Exactly." She then looked at the map, which caught Nami's interest.
"In the past, ten years more and more people have been joining, and influences are quite high in the eastern part of the Capital, we have a reason to believe they're taking up arms, to take a religious rebelling!"
Everyone narrowed their eyes in surprise.
"Therefore the plan is to use that to our advantage!"
Tatsumi, Gray, and Erza were against this plan.
"Wait for a second, that sounds dangerous!" Tatsumi barked.
"How many people could die in this?!" Gray added.
"Agreed, should we still it or something?" Erza asked.
Najanda could understand their outburst. "This country has just come this close to its end."
Tatsumi and Gray lowered their heads.
"Before you and the ice boy burst a vessel, remember what happened to the Ban Tribe Revolt?" Chelsea asked.
"Along with the Hero of the North," Lubbock added.
"They both revolted against the Empire on their own and were suppressed by Esdeath," Chelsea explained.
The Straw Hats, the Minks, and Fishman islanders cringed in fear, some of them.
"No way..." Chopper muttered with wide eyes.
"Esdeath was that strong?" Nami asked.
"The Empire is still incredibly powerful after a while of the Path of Peace insurrection would be suppressed as well with large amounts of people killed in the end," Lubbock said.
Najanda decided to give the final details. "Yes, when that happens the Revolutionary Army will make its move when the Path of Peace wings their armed uprising and we have the tribe in the west to being an attack as well." She put her hand on the map. "Secondly, when that happens the Empire will be forced to defend both sides of the border, however that won't be enough so for the finishing blow the Revolutionary Arm will cause a riot in the south as soon we march into the Capital then the Empire will be brought to its knees."
"Quite the unique strategy," Robin praised.
Jimbei agreed. "Indeed, she's quite strategic too."
"Reminds me of Mavis," Macao thought.
Usagi was impressed. "I can see why she's the leader of the Night Raid."
Sanji was swooned by the eye-patched woman. "She's so hot too!"
Past Mirajane and Elfman agreed to this.
"I see, we're planning a three-way offensive,"
"Sounds like a plan to me,"
"The Empire has a history of underestimating us, however, they don't that we have trumps like wizards," Najenda added.
"Is there anything else we should know of?" Gray asked.
"Yes, the starting point is the Frontier of the Empire to get the Capital from there, they'll need a cut through the several forts and castles, luckily we've already arranged betrayals by the crown princes of several of the castles since there were many cases, so, it was a simple matter to convince them."
Zoro smirked. "Sounds like some action is going to occur."
Luffy grinned. "I want to kick some butt!"
Natsu likes that idea. "Let's get their asses!"
"Morons..." Nami spoke. "This is just a memory."
"Another thing, our forces will be able to storm the capital to claim castle after castle without spilling any more blood, also, the empire will send their trump cards General Budo and Esdeath along with the royal guards which work in our favor," Najenda informed. "Also, we've promised to give the Western Tribe their land back as well,"
Mine decided to speak her piece. "I have a feeling that was the case, after all, the part of the Western Territory was originally owned by the foreign tribes."
"The last thing will be the kill the source of this," Akame pointed out.
"The Prime Minister Honest," Mirajane spoke with a hint of anger in her tone.
"He's pretty slick too," Lubbock said.
"So, the bastard will escape," Taran commented.
Leone cracked her knuckles. "Right, but, that won't matter because I'll be able to find him and make him pay with his life."
"If the Empire falls, its laws disappear with it, the angry citizens will be also abated," Najenda informed. "If we continue to move things smoothly towards the sinking of the Capital, there won't be much bloodshed."
Chelsea looked at Erza, Gray, and Tatsumi. "Do you three understand now?"
"Yeah, we're sorry about that," Tatsumi spoke a little embarrassed.
Erza bowed her in apolegitc. "Yes, I overacted, my apology."
Zoro seemed to have understood the situation. "I may not know that Najenda woman well, but, I don't think she would do something so rash if necessary."
"Perhaps you can learn something from her," Usopp joked.
"Yeah, she probably could give Zoro some lessons about directions," Chopper laughed.
"Shut up!" The swordsman retorted as the two whimpered in a corner.
That's when Najenda decided to inform the last detail. "There's another thing, a commotion going on within the Far East of the Capital, there's is a man named Borick, a spy sent by the Minister, his goal is to seize the Path of the Peace, and stop the armed uprising from happening."
"What a sneaky rat!" Taran remarked.
"That's for sure," Thorn agreed.
"He also plans to kill the lord and make him into a true god, and stand at the peak himself," The Night Raid leader added.
"Again with this god stuff," Zoro groaned rubbing his head.
"Isn't there any way you could pass the information to them and prevent that?" Tatsumi asked.
"There's a group within that sides with Borick and they have a great deal of influence, they also back up the Empire too," Najenda replied.
"That's not good," Franky said.
"Indeed, the Minister doesn't ever try to suppress the outer parts instead tries to seize the inner workings," Robin agreed.
Past Chelsea heard the Archaeologist and said the same thing.
"Yes, therefore we must go to the headquarters of the Path of Peace and kill Borick," Najenda stated. "There's more, we have information about him mixing drugs into the food for women and using them as his playthings."
Most of Fairy Tail was disgusted including the Straw Hats and their friends.
Sanji's eyes widen with anger and shock. "That bastard...messing with food is one thing, but, someone that uses it to do something horrible to women makes me want to barf!"
Brook glared angrily. "Indeed, such a dirty man that uses food to drug young innocent women is lower than scum."
Angela, Rena, Nami, Lucy, and Jula felt a quiver go down their spine.
"Snort...snort...Borick is a pervert," Temukai spoke blowing air out of his nostrils.
"He's more than that..." Tigress thought.
Eventually, Najenda got to the point of Jaegers will be ordered to stop them, also, informing of the most troubled enemies Bols and Kurome, both must be eliminated.
Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Wendy, and Carla knew it was their turn to show.
"Excuse me..."
Time break.
Akame had to speak her piece and turned to the rest of Fairy Tail. "As you can see, the Empire was more corrupted than it is...even when I started working for them, I began to question myself of what I was fighting for that including the former team was I once part of."
"You were part of a different group back, I assume that group was part of the Empire too," Robin inquired.
Akame nodded. "Yes, I tried to convince my friends about what I was considering, but, like my sister Kurome, they didn't see that way."
"I have questions for Chelsea and Leone," Romeo spoke as he walked to the two older girls. "Leone, why did you become an assassin, and how do require your Imperial Arms?"
Leone was glad to answer that. "As you know I used to work in a massage parlor in the slums ever since I was a kid, then one day I saw some noble assholes trampling kids with their horses for fun."
The Straw Hats, Minks, Fishman Islanders, and the Fairy Tail wizards were horrified at the details.
"I was so pissed off that I killed them, after that, I was scouted," The blonde assassin continued. "On top of that, I don't like seeing any smaller or weaker getting picked on for no reason."
"Oh! You're so sweet!" Franky cried with joy.
"Leone!" Sanji grabbed the blonde girl's hands. "Such a sweet woman caring for others especially young children!"
"Thanks...but..." Leone bonked the pervy curly brow man on the head. "Get off creep!"
Zoro chuckled at the cook's beat.
"As for the Lionel, I bargained with a guy from the black market into giving it to me," Leone patted her belt proudly.
"How come no one else could use it?" Fujika asked again.
"Others tried but, to no avail, I mean Imperial Arms aren't just weapons that you can just use, you have to make sure the weapon you choose is a proper match, others that tried to use Imperial Arms either got hurt or died." Leone replied.
"Scary!" Usopp, Chopper, and Nami yelled comically.
Chelsea decided to answer her reasons and she took a few steps forward. "Way back before I became an assassin, I worked under a viceroy, I was hoping to marry into the rich life so I wouldn't have to worry about working."
Nami liked that idea and a sneaky smile formed on her face.
"The viceroy was a monster, I presume?" Bisca asked.
"You presumed correctly, what he did is that he took bribes and killed innocent people for sport, hunt the humans to be exact," Chelsea continued.
"That's scary!" Nami, Chopper, and Usopp whimpered in comical tears.
"Anyway, once I stumbled across the Imperial Arms Gae Foundation, I used its power to kill the viceroy, when that happened a new viceroy took over but treated the people better," Chelsea concluded.
Robin giggled.
Sanji twirled over to recon the assassin. "Chelsea!" He cupped her hands in lover-boy mode. "Such a sweet young lady, protecting innocent people! If you want to marry into riches, I'd be happy to-"
Bonk
Nami delivered a punch on the cook's head. "Anyway, are there all the memories we're seeing?"
Makarov decided to answer that. "Yes, I'm sure everyone else is convinced the three assassins are good people, I witnessed that myself back in the world of pirates, so, everyone else from Fairy Tail, I would like to know these three helped our own when they were trapped in their world and helped during sorrow moments!"
Romeo smiled brightly. "I can trust them, Natsu and the others do so too."
Bisca and Alzack agreed.
"Those ladies are sure to be great additions to our guild!"
"Yes, they have such good relationships with our friends too!"
Macao chuckled. "I agree, everyone else trusts them, not to mention seeing their memories is convincing that they help those weaker than them."
"We would like the know the past of the Straw Hats and the others that came with them if that's okay?" Wakaba asked.
The Straw Hat pirates, the Minks, and the Fishmen islanders didn't see any problems with that.
Mest nodded and used his magic on them.
"This won't hurt right?" Nami asked.
"Don't worry, this should be interesting," Zoro answered.
I decided to end the memories of the assassins because there was no need to, on top of that, next will be Straw Hat Pirates, Minks, and the Fishman islander's memories.
End of chapter.
