Thoughts '...'
Attacks "..."
Erza was walking back to Magnolia, dragging her luggage after finishing her job a few days ago, find and capture the dark guild, Razorblack, and thinking out loud how to improve since that job since she feels it could go a lot better.
"I need to improve fighting being surrounded and in tight spaces, especially of a guild of that level, almost lost a head there," Erza muttered, and yep, you heard it right, Erza Scarlet almost lost her head, since the quest was an S Class quest, they weren't all just weaklings, sure a few were, but most of them were at least as strong as Elfman or Freed, brute strength or tricky, some were as strong as Natsu or Gray! Even worse, some of those got away, she was lucky they at least got the guild master.
While Erza was walking and muttering a rustle came out of the bushes, so the wizard quickly drew her sword in case it was a member of Razorblack, but to her surprise, it was a young man wearing a straw hat, red cardigan, with a yellow sash still attached, blue shorts, and sandals, and he was mostly with just a few cuts here and there, which surprised Erza most is the X shaped scar on his chest, she could tell it had to be very serious to leave a mark like that on a person.
"Oh, a person! Hey, do you got some food, or are with those other guys with the giant razor blades?" The Scared man asked.
"Razor blades... Wait, are you saying you met those guys, where are they, did you escape!?" Erza yelled out in concern with the man.
"I didn't run, I just kicked their asses, they were pretty weak, even though the circle thing was weird, it was cool though!" The Scared man responded, Erza would've said something as well, but she was shocked that this man has beaten some of the people she had trouble with a few days ago! "Oi, you in there, hello!" He was waving his hand back and forth trying to bring her back to reality.
"You, who are you." Erza decided she shouldn't take chances, for all she knows he could be a member of Razorblack, or a dark guild even higher up on the spectrum of them, heck, he could be in a guild-related to the Balam Alliance if he said was true.
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy." Said with no hesitation in his voice. "Who are you?"
"Erza, Erza Scarlet." She responded back, coldly. "How did you even beat up the remaining guild members of Razorblack, or even escape since they are known for assassinations?"
"I punched and kicked them." Well that her question, kinda, Erza thought he used some physical enhancing magic since he looks pretty wimpy.
"I see, so where are you from?"
"I'm from Windmill Village in the East Blue." Erza had no idea where East Blue is located but for all, she knows it could be across the world, so she went for another question, well two.
"What guild are you in and what magic do you use?"
"What's a guild, and what is magic?" Luffy asks.
Erza was shocked, she could tell he was being truthful in his eyes, but what kind of rock was he living under that he didn't know what magic or a guild was, Erza started to explain what they were, also showing her magic in the process. "So you get it now?"
"I see, a guild is like a family to you, and magic is a mystery power, right?" Well, the way she was talking about guilds, her feelings poured into the explanation, while with magic, she... tried, but she really knew about her magic, and most of the guild members, but she couldn't even explain in full detail, she was about to respond when Luffy quickly interrupted her. "Quiet, someones coming, hostile, three of them."
Erza was confused by the sudden command in his voice that she couldn't help but follow it, just the tone in his voice, and the discussion, well lesson, from earlier, she decided he was trustworthy since he was pretty honest, and blunt. She looked around trying to find what Luffy was seeing but couldn't see anything.
"Time to die, Titania, Straw Hat!" A man carrying a razor blade as large as a short sword comes out from the trees, with two more coming out in different directions.
"Gum Gum Gatling Gun!" Luffy quickly punched upwards quickly, making it seems like he grew at least twenty arms, afterwards they were barely standing. "Gum Gum Bazooka!" And now they were stars in the sky.
"Wha... You said you didn't have magic!?" Erza quickly questioned.
"I don't, I ate a Devil Fruit, the Gum Gum Fruit, making me a rubber-man!" He said like it was obvious while stretching his cheeks outward.
"What's a Devil Fruit?"
"Well a Devil Fruit is an awesome fruit, giving people awesome powers, but it takes away the ability to swim, there are three kinds Zoan, Logia, and Paramecia. Zoan gives you the ability to turn into an animal, and categorized into models, some are falcons, horses, giraffes, wolfs, leopards. Some cooler ones are dinosaurs and a Phoenix."
Erza to say the least is shocked, she didn't even hear of these things called devil fruits, sure some sound useless like giraffes and horses, but being made of rubber sounds useless yet he defeated those three in less in a minute. "What's Logia?" Urging him to continue.
"Logia could people make people transform and control elements, such as fire, lighting, sand, snow, smoke, ice, light, magma, and darkness." Luffy sounded like a train wreck when be mentioned the last two, but Erza didn't want to pry since she got secrets of her own.
"The last group is everything but the other two such as rubber, slowing things down, making doors, steal shadows, steal souls, control strings, mochi, spout hands and feet, and revive after death." Now Luffy smile was softer after mentioning the last two, but quickly but back up his normal smile on his face while laughing.
"So, did your devil fruit help locate those three?"
"No, that was Haki." Luffy noticed his her face and decided to explain further. "There are three forms of Haki, so I want you to attack me will quick."
Erza was confused but did so nevertheless, but when she noticed his eyes closed, she, for some reason, felt really pissed of, so she summoned another sword to replace the basic one she was using, she swings, "Attack from the right." And with the slightest movement, she misses. Erza swings a few more times, and it just repeats itself. "That's Observation Haki, capable of predicting your opponents moves to put it simply, now for the next form of Haki, now swing again, and make sure it's a weapon you won't miss again." He also takes off his cardigan, revealing his chest, and his whole upper body, he looks so wimpy, yet, he's so strong.
Once again confused, she switches out her sword to some sword she bought off whim, she once again swings kinda expecting him to dodge, "Armament:Hardening!" and upon impact the sword cracks and the arm it hit was covered in a black, steel-like appearance, but soon after it fades away, making his skin back to his tan, rubbery texture.
"What's the third one?"
"It's called Conquer's Haki, whoever possesses it has the qualities of a king, and this can't be achieved through training." Luffy put emphasizes on the "can't" part. "It's capable of knocking people out, but only those of wills weaker than yours, and it helps me make some new friends, such as Surume and Ucy!"
Erza kinda got it but was more curious who Surume and Ushi was. "Luffy who is Surume and Ucy?" Erza said bluntly.
"Surume's a Kraken, and Ucy a bull."
"...WHAT!?" It took about 5 seconds for Erza to process this, This man tamed the Kraken, a Kraken! Meaning there is more than one!' Erza was speechless, again.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" Erza screeched in the loudest voice ever heard in history.
"I'm Luffy, I'm the one who'll be King of the Pirates!"
"What's that?" Erza asked, breaking the awkward silence.
"You never heard of Gold Roger?
"No,"
"Um, where is this island at, New World, Paradise, East Blue?"
"This isn't an island, it's a continent."
After some, well lot's of explaining, Erza theory is that Luffy is from another world, Luffy agreed while saying he needs to find everyone else, his crew.
"Are you sure you're a pirate, aren't pirates supposed to pillage villages, rape women, and children, and kill everything in sight?" Erza asked since Luffy didn't seem very pirate-y.
"No, those aren't true pirates, they're fakes, true pirates seek adventure and excitement, not knowing what's next, kinda like Usopp's stories," Luffy explained.
"I see, who's Usopp?"
Luffy and Erza talked about Luffy's crew or about Erza's Guildmates while Luffy was munching on a bunch of fruit Erza handed him, then they started telling their adventures and his friends. Erza to say the least is impressed, saving over some five countries, befriended royalty, and even have a princess and a prince be honorary crew members (Vivi and Momo), made a promise with one, and reunited one with her father, punch a World Noble, just for almost killing an enemy turned friend.
"Are you really a pirate, are you sure you aren't a hero, if not you can easily be one?" Erza asked.
"Hero? No! I'm a Pirate! I love heroes, but I don't wanna be one! Do you know what heroes are? Say there is a chunk of meat. Pirates will have a banquet and eat it, but heroes will share it with other people. I want all the meat!" Luffy explained.
Erza was down founded with Luffy's speech, not because it was stupid, but he was saying indirectly saying that Luffy did all that stuff because he was a pirate because heroes have to help, Luffy did it on his own free will, to help his friends that day!
"Luffy, I got an important question to ask you."
"What is it?"
"Will you join Fairy Tail?"
"Okay."
"Think about, you go on jobs to get money and informa... Did you just say "Okay"'? Erza didn't think he would say okay, heck, she doesn't even know why he would say yes!?
"Yeah."
"Why though, you don't have a reason to join, to begin with!?"
"Because you're my friend," Luffy said bluntly while laughing his ass off.
"...That's it." Erza was very confused and embarrassed, due to Luffy saying he needs to find his crew and him laughing at her.
"But don't you need to find you're crew!?"
"Yeah, but their super strong, they can handle themselves, heck, might even get stronger than ever, so I'm not in a hurry." Another reason Luffy wanted to become stronger himself, he wants to be able to take down a Yonko by himself, and not with more of the Worst Generation, so why not do missions and get stronger why'll looking for everyone, but he kept that to himself.
"Erza, hurry up!" Luffy called out, excited.
"Be patient, Luffy."
Now, the two take off towards their destination, Fairy Tail.
"I forgot, I was hungry," Luffy muttered while collapsing, Erza sweat dropped in the process.
...After Lunch, they will head off to Fairy Tail!
A.N - Yo, welcome to The Fairy Pirate! Now, since I was too lazy to talk about guilds, and magic ain't entirely explainable, I'll leave it to your guy's imaginations, the only reason I explained Haki was mostly for Conquerors Haki, and Devil Fruits since it would've been very necessary later, so I decided to get it done now, and I just added in the other three to make sure it made sense. Now, how did Luffy get here, and where is his crew? And yes I did make Momo an honorary crewmate, why? Because I can! Also the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance, and it just... makes sense
Now with Luffy's Hero speech, It's kinda why I believe why Luffy didn't want to be a hero, so Erza's thinking process might be OOC, sorry, but wouldn't be the only character either! Since Luffy is smart-ish I guess, he's just slightly smarter than canon, but not by much.
So like, follow, review and thanks for reading The Fairy Pirate!
