Here is the next chapter. Also, yeah, I saw that I forgot Lily. You try to remember everyone of Fairy Tail with a relevance to the plot. In the end all comes down to either the members of Team Natsu while the rest is just there. Now we are about to start the of meeting up with the Galley Law shipwrights. Now enjoy.
The Straw Hats pirates that were on the Merry moved to a fighting position and were ready to start a brawl against those mysterious and goofy looking intruders.
''Looks like we are going to have some fun.'' Said Zoro with a smirk.
''Natsu is going to be pissed that he wasn't here.'' Said Gray also with a smirk.
''The stupid Salamander must be feeling weird right now. I just know it.'' Said Gajeel.
''Not the time for this kind of talk.'' Said Lily.
Erza was walking towards the weird intruders with a cold look and a serious tone.
''identify yourself. What are you all doing in our ship?" Asked her.
''We are bounty hunters; we are looking for some prey. Well if isn't the pirate hunter Zoro. You are worth 60 million isn't?" Asked the first criminal.
''Yeah and I am not alone. Who are you people?" Asked Zoro
''We are the Franky Family. We can silence even crying children. We are also going to take your head and yours friends head to see if they are worthy anything.'' Said the main leader with a beer belly and a start on front.
The pirates just look at that group with a weird found. They were more but they appear to be weak.
''Do they really think that they can beat us?" Asked Gray.
''Its cute when they have this mind set.'' Said Gajeel.
''We need to make sure we don't make more damage on the Merry.'' Said Lily.
''Lily is right, the ship is already in critical condition. We cant let more damage ruin our new home.'' Said Erza.
''Let get them.'' Said the leader of the group.
The bounty hunters charged towards the pirates with just wicked and stupid faces. They were super convinced that they could win this fight.
''Yeah! Take their heads and soon we will be rolling in dough. We are so lucky!' Said the leader.
Zoro just blocked a sword attack with no problem. He wasn't even having any trouble moving, however the bounty hunter started to shake.
''More like unlucky.'' Said Zoro punching the bounty hunter away.
Gray was just fine as he prepare an attack while taking out his shirt.
''Ice make hammer!' Scream Gray hitting the bounty hunters in the face.
''AAAAH!' Scream them in pain.
Gajeel was eating some rusted nails and even thought it didn't taste good, was enough to get him boost to fight.
''Come on now. Iron Dragon Club!' Said Gajeel making the club appear in his hand.
''what is that?' Asked a member of the Franky Family as he was cracked in the face.
Crack
Lily was just swinging his sword as he was helind up the other members of the bounty hunting crew.
''You are people with no honro. Makes me sick to just look at you all.'' Said Lily.
''When did panthers started to speak?" Asked a member of the Franky family.
Erza saw that two members were coming her direction and she didn't move at all.
''You are alone now girl. We at least can end you.'' Said the member of the Franky Family.
She then transform into her Purgatory Armor and the situation for the bounty hunters got really bad.
''Time to end your lifes!' Scream her with a demonic look.
''aaaaaaah!' Scream the poor bastards trying to flee for their lifes.
The Franky Family was pretty much all done for it and they were now trying to flee.
''We are going to return with more enforcement. You will see!" Said the leader in horror.
The mages just smug about that and decided to end with a nice note.
''Zoro, do you want to finish up?" Asked Erza
''Sure.'' Said him.
The swordman prepared his swords and then got in the perfect fighting position.
''Two sword style Rhino Cycle!' Scream Zoro making a huge tuffon that wiped out of the members of the Franky Family away.
And just like that the bounty hunters were defeated and the Merry was with just a little more damage.
''So those were bounty hunters?' Asked Gajell.
''Man, they are so weak. It's almost like you have to pity them.'' Said Gray.
''We are on a total different level. We have to remind ourslefs that strength is very different here than it is in our world.'' Said Lily.
''Correct, even so we need to be on alert.'' Said Erza.
''Yes, so that's why we need to take precautions.'' Said Zoro going to lay down.
''So what are you going to do?" Asked Gray.
''Go back to sleep.'' Said Zoro.
''What!" Scream Gajeel and Gray in shock, while this happen Lily and Erza decided to keep a closer look on the ship to see If they could fix something.
With the Medicine and Book group
Robin, Levy, Wendy, Wendy, Freed, Charla and Chopper were observing the beautiful streets of water seven for all its glory. It was really something they have never experienced before.
''These streets are so beautiful.'' Said Wendy.
''Yes, truly a sight to behold in all its glory. Is a shame we won't be here for that long.'' Said Freed.
''We need to find the nearest bookstore. After that we don't know when we will return to a city with books.'' Said Levy all excited.
''Please Levy, don't start to get worried.'' Said Wendy nervous.
''Oh Wendy don't worry. I am just full of excitement.'' Said Levy.
''More like an obsession.'' Said Charla.
''The water is so clean and the town is so pretty.'' Said Robin.
''Agreed, not a sign of pollution anywhere.'' Said Freed.
''There are a lot of pedestrian areas too.'' Said Chopper.
''Yes, its incredible that someone build this city like this.'' Said Levy.
''AAAAH!"' Scream Wendy scared.
''What is it child?" Asked Charla.
''A store full of faces!" Said Wendy scared.
''Really?! Where?"' Asked Chopper scared to.
''There.'' Said Wendy pointing at the face store and Robin just laugh.
''don't be scared Wendy. Is just a mask maker.'' Said Robin;
''Oh really?" Asked Wendy now a little calm.
''Yes, haven't you seen those people wearing mask all around town?" Asked Robin.
''We been walking for a good amount of time. I thought you and Chopper would get the notice of it.'' Said Freed.
''They were really wearing masks. I thought it was just funny looking faces.'' Said Chopper.
''Of course they are masks. But why would people wear mask on this time of the year?" Asked Charla.
''At san Faldo, another island on the sea train route a costume festival is being held.'' Said Robin much to everyone surprised.
''How do you know all this Robin?" Asked Chopper
''I heard people on the street talking about.'' Said Robin.
''How much we learn by just listening to other conversations.'' Said Freed.
''Yes, but it's not very polite.'' Said Charla.
''How could you pick up all that?!'' Asked Wendy.
''Oh, its an habit of mine. Ever since I was little I´ve observed people moods and listened to them talk.'' Said Robin.
The group was surprised with that revelation, but Charla was the one that was feeling the opposite.
''I don't like this at all.'' Thought Charla.
''You are amazing Robin.'' Said Chopper.
''Yes, you are so cool and so smart.'' Said Wendy.
''I cant take credit for all that. A lot of people shaped me into what I am today.'' Said Robin.
The group kept walking and then they spotted what they were looking for, the bookstore.
''Oh there is a bookstore.'' Said Chopper.
''Really. Then what are we waiting for?" Asked Levy excited.
''Lets go.'' Said Wendy.
''Wait for me Wendy.'' Said Charla.
''Kids and reindeers. I will going with them.'' Said Freed.
''I will be there in a minute.'' Said Robin.
As Robin was walking toward her new friends, a figure with a big rope and a mask comes near hear and whisper something.
''I´m with Cp9.'' Said the mysterious figure.
Robin froze in place. She had the look she saw a ghost and look around to see if this was real.
Inside the bookstore.
''Wow. Look at this selection.'' Said Wendy.
''Yes, it seems they have interesting choices of literature.'' Said Freed.
''I can't wait to start reading all of these.'' Said Levy.
''Levy calm down. You are acting like Erza when she goes to a bakery.'' Said Freed nervous.
''Oh my, what crazy costume you kids have.'' Said the owner of the bookstore.
''Costumes?' Asked Chopper confused.
''She might think you guys are dressed as something.'' Said Freed.
''Yes, we are all ready for the festival.'' Said Levy.
''don't worry we wont cause any trouble.'' Said Wendy.
''We have money.'' Said Freed.
''Ha you kids are funny.'' Said the woman.
The group started to look around for some books and other curious things. It was going to take a while to check everything.
''This is such an interesting culture.'' Said Levy.
''Yes, better appreciate while we are in here.'' Said Freed.
''Robin, do you know any of these books?" Asked Wendy.
The group turn around to see that the woman wasn't there. Overall, like not even a scene.
''Huh?" Asked her.
''What's wrong Wendy?" Asked Freed.
''I don't see Robin anywhere.'' Said her.
''Really? Maybe she is outside.'' Said Levy.
The group went outside and started to look for Robin.
''Robin!'' Scream Freed.
''Where are you?!" Asked Chopper.
''We lost her.'' Said Levy in shock.
''Impossible we stood close to each other all the time.'' Said Freed.
''Charla can you look up from the sky?" Asked Wendy.
''Sure.'' Said the exceed.
The exceed did just that but unfortunately wasn't finding the archaeologist anywhere. It was difficult to find her among all those costumed people.
''Did you find her?' Asked Freed.
''No, is hard with all this crowd.'' Said Charla.
''I don't smell her.'' Said Wendy
''Me neither.'' Said Chopper.
The group started to grow more and more worried, looking for their friend all around town.
''Robin!'' Scream the group.
With Find Iceberg Group.
The group went to a currency agency, in order to exchange all the gold they gather in skypia into money. It was a lot of gold so they thought it would be worth a fortune.
''So old guy how much do you think this is worth?" Asked Natsu.
''Well I would say 100 million berries.'' Said the man.
''A MILLION BERRIES!' Scream Usopp, Luffy, Natsu and Happy.
''Not so loud.'' Said Lucy.
The man was looking at the gold with care and making sure it was althetic.
''Man we really hit big this time.'' Said Usopp.
''Yes, i told you get the gold was a good idea.'' Said Luffy.
''We are rich!' Scream Natsu.
''Aye sir I am buying a mountain of fish.'' Said Happy.
''We are not buying that!'' Scream Usopp.
''I never seen so much money before.'' Said Lucy.
''weren't you rich?" Asked Natsu.
''Yes, but I was kept away from business I just heard about it.'' Said Lucy.
''I guess this will be your first time rolling in dough.'' Said Usopp.
''So the gold is really worth all that much?" Asked Natsu.
''Yes, with the value of the antiques, plus the purity is just in great condition.'' Said the old man.
''With that much we´ll really be able to dix up the Merry! And we can spend the rest on a bronze statue.'' Said Luffy.
''Or a silver statue.'' Said Natsu.
''You guys aren't buying any of that crap.'' Said Usopp.
''If you agree on the price, I will just need you all to sign some papers and I will get the money.'' Said the old man.
''Oh yes, business is…'' Said Luffy ready to close the deal but Nami foot wasn't done yet.
BAM
The man stop talking as Nami set her foot right in the direction of the old guy. He almost had a heart attack because the way Nami did almost scratch the gold and ruined its value.
''Nami what are you doing?" Asked Lucy.
''Yes, we are almost close to finish a business worth 100 million.'' Said Natsu.
''I have three things to say. One, I forgot to tell you that he is has a bounty over 100 million berries on his head, I bet the marines aren't gonna like this. Two, I don't agree with your appraisal. Three if you lie one more time Ill scrap you for all you are worth.'' Said Nami.
The old guy started to shake in fear, it got worse when Natsu went very close to his face.
''Oh so you are trying to rob us?'' Asked Natsu flaming up his fist.
Natsu fire was making the guy more nervous and even burn the point of his mustache. He knew he was screwed right now.
''Well…I guess I can do a recount over how much this is worth.'' Said the old guy.
''Do it!'' Said Natsu with a fired smirk.
Later
'''300 million berries!'' Scream Usopp seeing the amount that the group got for all that gold. It was the hugest amount of money that they ever got in their lives.
''Our adventure in Skypie finally paid off! I am fabulously rich.'' Said Nami in love.
''We are so rich.'' Said Lucy looking at all that money.
''Gramps is going to have a heart attack. This is more money that we make in just a year of quests alone. I get now why people like this.'' Said Natsu seeing all the money.
''Aye sir, we can finally buy everything we dream of it.'' Said Happy.
''Please come again.'' Said the old man out of breath.
The group went out with briefcase. Each one with 100 million berries, they were looking at those things if they had their lives on the line.
''Three hundred million! Do I have to carry around all this? Is too much?" Asked Usopp nervous.
''Oh geez, you were super scared there Nami.'' Said Luffy laughing.
''Yes, I got spooked like three times.'' Said Natsu.
''I had an idea of what it was worth, and then he offered only 100 million. You guys are such softies that he was totally going to take advantage.'' Said Nami all sweet.
''Yes and I get that a portion of that was you taking advantage.'' Said Lucy.
''We must go on and find the iceburg guy.'' Said Luffy.
''Aye, he must be nearby. Lets go find our new crewmember. Maybe all this money make him change his mind.'' Said Happy.
''Well, it all went well…'' Said Luffy swimming his briefcase like a idiot.
The straw Hat captain ended up letting go of the briefcase and going straightly directly towards water.
''Ops.'' Said Luffy.
''AAAAAH THE CANAL!' Scream the rest of the crew.
'Happy get the briefcase!'' Scream Nami.
''Aye sir!' Said the exceed.
Happy managed to get the 100 million berries before they were destroyed in the water of the canal.
''I got!' Said Happy.
''See that was…'' Said Luffy all calm but soon he was kicked a lot by Nami, Usopp, Lucy and Natsu .
PUNCH PUNCH
''I am going to punch you.'' Said Nami angry.
''I am going to break your teeths.' Said Usopp angry.
''I am going to break your bones.'' Said Lucy angry.
''I am just going to break you several times.'' Said Natsu.
''I am sorry.'' Said Luffy in pain.
The group went off to the Yagaras and they were directly going towards the Galley La shipwright district.
''Say nami shouldn't we drop this off at the ship?" Asked Luffy.
''Yes, its better than just having all this money with us.'' Said Natsu.
''Its just going to waste our time. Don't worry were heading to see the shipwrights in a minute.'' Said Nami.
''Can't we let Happy grab the suitcases to the ship?" Asked Luffy.
''Sorry but I cant carry all this stuff.'' Said Happy.
''Its ok buddy.'' Said Natsu.
''After that well have to return to the ship anyway. So, we can get an estimate.'' Said Nami.
''Yeah, I guess you´re right.'' Said Lucy.
''Hey, look over there. Its says water water cakes.'' Said Luffy drooling.
''Oh good. I could use some cake.'' Said Natsu.
''Shut up, we don't have time to waste buying cakes.'' Said Nami.
''But what if we spend hours on the shipwright district?" Asked Usopp.
''Ok buy some for us and for Erza.'' Said Lucy.
The group bought the cakes and were now at full speed at the entrance for the factory.
DOCK 1
''Nice, looking place.'' Said Lucy looking at all those ships being build.
''I can't wait to wait to see these guys in action.'' Said Natsu.
''There must be someone here that is going to be the perfect crewmember.'' Said Happy.
''Good thinking but lets focus on that later. Right now, let's just fix the merry. By the way the crowd is gone.'' Said Usopp.
''Anyway, let's see if we can find this…'' Said Luffy trying to remember the name but failing.
''Mr Iceberg.'' Said Nami and Lucy.
''I wonder where he is? Can we go in?" Asked Usopp
''I hope so. I want to see all the action.'' Said Natsu.
The two knuckles' heads Natsu and Luffy decided to go around and start asking questions to the people around.
''Look over there, a lot of people. I bet some of them might know who Iceberg is.'' Said Natsu.
''Hey there!'' Said Luffy going over the fence with Natsu.
''Not again.'' Said Nami with a sweat drop.
''Natsu don't do this!'' Said Lucy.
Soon a hand appears and push both boys out of the perimeter. It was a tall man with a funny voice.
''Hey there, sorry but outsiders are not permitted in these areas. Lets talk outside shall we?' Asked the man.
The man was now on the same side of the fence as the straw Hats and the crew was just baffled by his long nose.
''What can I help you?" Asked the long nose man.
''Usopp?'' Asked Natsu and Luffy
''I am right here morons!"' Scream him hitting Luffy and Natsu on the heads.
So this is the right point to end this chapter. This was a fun to make and I hope to make more this year. After two years we finally reach Water Seven. If I was updating weekly, we would have arrived early, but hey I like to write stories.
We are going to have some really powerful scenes in this arc and the mages are going to play a large role in here. I know that some of you are nervous because of what's about to come, but don't worry I have everything ready. If Steven Universe can do that scene in a good way in their crossover, I can do it to. So yeah, just wait and see.
Note I am going to make a scene with Blueno later. I didn't put in this chapter, because its pretty obvious he was the cp9 member that talked with Robin. Kalifa was all day at Iceburg side, plus Lucci and Kaku were working. I will tell that Blueno was on his break time and then went back to his bar. So that's
