Fairy Tail Merged Guild rp

What about "Dragon's Majesty"?
I could see that as the name of a guild whose most notable feature is how pompous it is.

@DoomFlavored
Weird question: Are there a set list of elements, or will it be like in the shower were basically anything could be made into a type of slayer magics?

An Isekai Adventure

Here, have a bump!

One Piece: On the Strangest of Tides

Meishu lowered herself into the water. It was tepid but bearable. From the corner of her eyes, hidden by the dancing shadows, Gerld did likewise.

"When I was younger" the old man gritted his teeth while he lowered himself. "I would think about getting a devil fruit, as I rose through the marine ranks, and what kind it would be. But it never happened because the higher ups never had anything good for me. Now that I'm not sinking to the bottom of this ocean, watching the world dim because I couldn't move, I'm happy nobody ever knew where to find the ones worth eating."

"I didn't notice any traps when I swam to the shore, but that doesn't mean they haven't deployed anything yet. So keep your eyes open and stay close to me." Without hesitation she disappeared under the surface.

"Not one for small talk, that girl is, huh?" Gerld sighed before taking a deep breath and disappearing beneath the black surface of the water.

"Looks like the Fishman is on the boat."
The captain didn't bother to respond. His impassive face, with the lack of any interest in turning around to look at the hunchback, was a very clear indication he was well aware the fishman would make it to the boat, as it was a Fishman, and if nothing else, they could swim.
"Yes. Right. Well," the hunchback looked down at his hands. "Should we open fire then?"
"Hold it. I want to see if there are any more troublemakers. Would be best, if there are more than one, we get them all in a single fell swoop."
"Right. Right." The hunchback nodded.
"So don't do anything stupid. Wait for the boat to start moving."

@The Irish Tree
The tiny boat rocked ever so slightly as someone climbed aboard. Tere was a scent in the air wasn't the right one. Fenrir knew the right smell when it came to him, and this wasn't it. This was an intruder, an unwanted, several of them. Fenrir would get rid of them, post-haste.

Slowly, he uncurled himself from his spot by the wheel and sniffed the air. The intruder wasn't far. Grinning the large, Candid like creature got t his feet. Head lowered he left the cabin and started towards the smell. It wasn't far.

The intruder was female, that much he could tell. She was odd, smelling like fish and person. The others weren't odd, they were just unwanted. Not that that mattered though. The captain hadn't told him about anyone getting to board, which was WHAT DID matter.

Licking his chops Fenrir got closer. With a growl the beast launched itself in the air, jaws snapping at the strange human. He'd take care of her first and then throw the others off the deck. The only concern he had was if there was enough time to clean up the mess before the captain got back.

@Crimson Lion
"Oh damn it!" The captain shouted, pointing his hand at the devil fruit user, as the small man spread wings and flew over head. "If it's not one thing it's another!" The man thrust his fist at the sky. "Hurry up and shoot hi down." Spit flew from his lips, big angry globs, heavy enough to been seen in the dancing shadows.
The bullets flew, but it wasn't easy to get a good shot what with the dark and growing distance.

As he moved further out into the ocean he saw a small boat, purple and strange. It's design was unlike anything the pirates or marines were using. As he sailed towards it he became more certain the ship didn't belong to anyone who was actively trying to kill him.

Upon the last leg of the approach to the boat, the young man would see a pile of bodies, the odd female from earlier, in the cell, and a massive fuzzball of a creature, slithering up towards her like a snake before the huge thing leaped towards her.

*********************************************

One Piece: On the Strangest of Tides

"You made them nervous." Gerld's eyes didn't leave the purple woman, even as he heard the movement behind him as the pirate enemies hurried away. Their fear was palpable. There wasn't a chance in hell they'd make a move on them now.

"Cowards and the unenlightened get nervous easily," the woman said, meeting his gaze. "It's the price they pay for blissful ignorance."

The flames around them blazed on. Gerld was sweating buckets, but he noted the small woman didn't seem as bothered. "So you got a plan to get out of here?"

The purple-haired woman nodded. "I do, assuming you're up for a bit of a swim. I've got a boat stationed far a bit further than one traditionally sets their boats before getting on land."

Gerld nodded, lead the way.

@Crimson Lion
A devil fruit user, eh?" The lighthouse pirate captain rubbed the his chin. His one good eye narrowed in frustration. "And it looks like a logia user too." He shook his head and sighed. "WEll damn. Now we really should've transported them into the cells when all this fiery mess broke out. People bet higher on logia users. There's nothing quiet like the payday when everyone's jaw drops because the damn fool gets ripped apart as easily as the next one."

With something between a frown and a grin, the pirate captain turned to one of his men as the boat rowed on towards the land. "Hey, you."

Barrel Whippy."

"Hmmm?" The captain blinked.

"My name is Barel Whippy, sir. I've been your cabin boy for going on two decades now."

"Oh."

"I am your second cousin, you know."

"Ah. Yes. Well, it's been awhile since we've talked and all."

"It's fine. I guess. We've been busy."

The captain gave a brisk nod, suddenly all too aware of the men, under his command staring at him and waiting for an answer. "Good. Yes. Well, would you mind lending me your lantern?" THe man nodded and handed it over. "Thank you kindly." The man hefted the thing, noted it had been recently filled. "Good. Good. Much obliged."

The captain pulled back his arm, squinted his one good eye and flung the lanter in the logia user's direction.

Without waiting to see it land, he made a give me motion with his hand behind his back, and another lantern was given to him. He launched it just as quickly.

With a violent crash, the first lantern landed on the dock in front of Kukui. A split second later another one landed behind him. The flames quickly burst to life and spread to surround him.

"Hold on, my little meal ticket!" The captain called as he made a hurry and row motion to his men. "I'll be right there to take you back into my custody, where its safe. "

@The Irish Tree
What happened? The second had no way to know. One moment it felt victory, a pleasant rush of warm blood leaking from the fisherman's body. Then it felt pain, lot's of it. One moment it hit the ground, and then it was in the air, and then on the ground again, over and over again. When the motion stopped the second thought it would be safe, but then the finisher came. It ended. Hell began. The convulsions and pain wracked his body and he couldn't move or cry for help.

Sphear Thiloga, Marine Captain didn't react well to the sight of the burning ships around the lighthouse several meters off. His extra commissions were at risk and it was going to take a good several months before things could get settled here or he found another source of income. Though, one looking at him wouldn't be able to tell as much, because the man's appearance like stone didn't change. He seemed as calm as the water in the ocean behind him.

"Quite a mess going on there, isn't it?" The hunched-back man at his side sneered. "A big mess! The biggest mess in a while!" He was staring through a spyscope at the waters, looking for any sign of light, and noting a pile of bodies streaking through the water.

"What's this now?" The small man mumbled. "I think I see someone heading out." The figure turned to follow the path and noted a small, dark ship, with a strange purple and white flag he hadn't seen before, or even noted marked on their radar. He couldn't help but wonder at the shape of the shuttle. It wasn't built like anything he's seen before.

"It looks like it's the fishman we sold. She's making a run for it out to see." He continued to stare.

"Keep an eye on her, and have the guns ready for the moment that ship starts to leave the cannon's range."

"Aye-captain!"

One Piece: On the Strangest of Tides

"I am." Gerld blinked. He wanted to say something to cover up the confusion, uncertainty he was experiencing, but nothing came to mind. His temple was throbbing. It was hard to breathe.

"Good" The short woman with purple hair nodded. She stepped over the fallen pirate. "Glad to finally find you. The name's ." She paused. "I know Quibby." Another pause. The pirates stared, unsure what to do, but they knew not to make a move with their weapons. It was instinct. Something in the air was so thick and cold, despite the spreading flames. They couldn't have moved if there were swords at their backs.

Gerld gave the nod. "That's good enough for me." He turned to survey the remaining pirates. "And what about the rest of you?" The uncertainty had vanished from the giant's voice. In its place were coal and steel. "Do you want to continue the fight, or do you want to leave these flaming ruins and live to fight another day?"

The pirates paused to look at the woman. Her strange eyes were things they knew not to mess with. One by one, they put their weapons down. They took steps back, tentatively at first, but after three or four, the pirates turned around and rushed towards the exits.

@Crimson Lion
The captain of the Lighthouse pirates smiled. He wasn't happy. All the ships were as good as lost, and their prisoners were all gone. The derailed show and escaped prisoners were bad enough, but the political fallout, which would come crashing down due to the ships being burned while on his time, would create issues that would last for years. If anything, it would take decades before he'd return to his previous state of financial bliss.

So when the young man, the captive with a devil fruit, fell into their laps, he couldn't help but give a smile. It wasn't one of joy but of promise at what would befall the young man when things got settled. If nothing else, he'd take out his rage at the child, and make him pay for all the troubles that went on tonight.

At least that was what he was planning on before the young man, and an apparent devil fruit user did something foolish. He escaped, which to many would sound like the right decision under the circumstances. It wasn't, though, because the captain was going to get the man, come hell or high water, and he'd make the boy pay for every single individual step he had to take to put the lad back in chains.

"Well, don't just sit there looking shocked." He snarled at his crew. "Row after him. Get us back to the dock!" The men did as they were told.

The captain pulled out his flintlock pistol, one of a dozen, took aim, and started firing. He wasn't aiming for anything vital. He just wanted to take the boy's knees.

@The Irish Tree
"Argh!" The captain's second snarled as the fisherman's attack sent him reeling back. He didn't let the strike push him far, though. His leg shot into the floorboard, and he used it to stop and propel himself forwards. As he flew towards his target, his leg stretched, and the talon gleamed with three black points. They stretched outwards and slammed into the fisherman's back.

"You're not going anywhere!" The second squawked, his head white with beady eyes, perched upon a long, snake-like neck. The man's thin lips twisted into a razor-sharp beak. For a moment the head hung in the sky before he shot down like an arrow at one of the wounded invidiuals on the fishman's back.

One Piece: On the Strangest of Tides

One of the pirates cursed something. Gerld couldn't hear the man over the building roar of the flames, but the venom in his voice was clear. No doubt the figure was using language that would make an old woman blush, or bring down the thunder(It was hard to tell with old women.) The man raised a sword and swung at him. It didn't connect with anything but air. For the pirate's honest effort, he was launched across the room, into a wall, where he hit with a sickening thud. He slid down and made no effort to stand.

He countered another pirate's raised gun with a rock, and a precise blow to the temple. The man crumpled to the floor in a heap of sweat and body hair. "So many damn pirates," Gerld muttered.

The fisherwoman hurried past him. She said something about people and fighting. He didn't bother to respond, because he figured she wasn't interested in fighting him, unless there was a brand new martial art that centered on showing your back to someone while you run with a bunch of limp bodies tied on.

@The Irish Tree
"Hey! Hey!" The small skinny man with big eyes jumped and pointed as the fisherwoman made off with the majority of their entertainment. "What are you guys doing? Don't just waste all your energy with the old man. There's a perfectly good fisherwoman and weapon users getting away!"

"Sir! We'd love to get them, but" the pirate started before finding Gerld's fist pumped into his eye. The pirate went limp.

"Ugh!" The second in command shouted. Frowning, he turned and hurried off after the fisherwoman. He moved far faster than his thin form hinted at and was easily able to maneuver out of Gerld's outstretched arm.

As he closed the distance on the fisherwoman. His fingers twisted into claws. When he reached her, he full intended on taking off her head.

Tree captives back in their cells were better than none, and none was what he was afraid of if the woman managed to get to the water.

@Crimson Lion
"Ugg!" The lighthouse pirate's fist's creaked from the pressure. Frowning, he watched the ship burning. There wasn't any way to save it. There wasn't any way to save any of the ships. Whatever, or whoever he presumed, started the fire had done a thorough job. They'd seen to it that the ships burning would take just long enough to pull at the pirate's attention before bursting into flaming pieces of debris which wouldn't be saved.

"Damn it!" The giant shouted as he slammed his cap onto the ground.

"Somebody! Ppp-lease help me!" A thin voice called among a sudden splashing nearby.

"Oh." The captain's eyes narrowed as he noted a figure flailing at the water, one of their captives. "Well I'll be damned. Looks like that idiot Wolly let the dogs out." With a snap of his fingers, the captain pointed at the struggling man. "Alright. Let's go and pick him up. At the very least we'll need some fighters to try and recuperate for today's loss." The man whistled and motioned for the others to follow him in their rowboats.

*****
A long line of red appeared on Gerld's face. It started at the temple and ran down to his chin.

"Not so tough now, huh, old man!" One of the pirate's, a brash youth with black teeth and bug eyes, sneered as he hopped back before Gerld could knock his head off. "Looks like someone's getting a bit winded, eh?"

Gerld fought off the temptation to clutch at his chest. Instead he stood up to his full height and glared down at the grunt.

"You ain't so tough." The grunt's grin widened. Several of the pirates which he thought were knocked out started getting to their feet. A few others moved in, swords held out in front of them. "You're barely standing. Look at how hard that chest is heaving. At this rate you'll be lucky if just standing up won't lead to a heart att..."

The pirate stopped. His jaw dropped. Then his eyes rolled into the back of his head and the rest of him fell.

"Hey there!" A short woman with purple hair nodded. "You're Gerld, right?"

One Piece: On the Strangest of Tides

The prates were smarter than Meishu thought. A group of them came rushing out and raced towards the burning boats. She was certain it would take longer before they started to think something was wrong, and further after that for them to believe it was more than just their imagination.

Kudos to them.

She just wished she gave them more credit, and didn't assume they'd all blame everything on their imagination, because starting fires at the sides of the buildings to smoke them out wasn't needed. Judging by the way the numbers of people pouring out didn't seem enough to account for the entire pirate group meant they were either killing of the prisoners, waiting for them to kill themselves off, or rounding them up to take them back to their cells.

Either way, she'd wait for the men to stop pouring out and then head inside to aid in any way she could.

@The Irish Tree
Fsk offered no resistance as the fishwoman picked him up. Despite the utter defeat he was coming too. It wasn't much as he felt himself to be deep in an ocean with only a tiny prick of light to signal which way he needed to go. He was moving though and he'd get there sooner rather than later.

The woman gasped at the way the fishwoman moved. She knew that being out of the water didn't immediately mean a fishperson was at a disadvantage but she had no idea they could still move so fast. By the time the woman recognized what was happening she was already air born and reeling from the impact of the strikes. It was too much too quickly. All she could think up was how bad of a start this was to her adventure, but would it be the end too? She wanted to know, but she needed a long nap first.

"Where you need to go is stand by that wall" a pirate snapped "And wait for us to round up the rest of the prisoners so you all can be marched back to the cells."
**********************

"What now?" Gerld muttered, brushing the broken pieces from his hand. Something was up with the body at his feet. HIs attack was instantly fatal but there should've been more blood, any blood. He decided to put it outside his mind for the moment. Things were escalating in a strange direction.

Chaos erupted as the pirates cried for people to do one of two things: go out to put the fire on your boat out, or help with the prisoners. To his annoyance more of the pirates stayed, with guns pointed at them then not. Which was just as well. He didn't doubt he'd be able to get out now.

"I'm coming." He said, strolling forwards with his hand at his side. "Keep your hands where I can see them," a grunt snapped, raising up his rifle to look down the sights.

In a blur, Gerld vanished only to reappear in front of the pirate. "Here. YOu can see them now right?" With a violent shot to the chin, the man was lifted off the air. There was a crack and it left little doubt when the man came back down he wasn't getting back up.

"Oh shit!" ONe of the pirates shouted. "That's the one that gave us trouble." Without a word he raised up his gun and fired. "They're probably all going to try and get out. Don't give them a chance!" Without a word the others brought up their guns to fire too.

"Hold. HOld it." The Lighthouse Lt, a skinny man with big eyes, and strange pointed ears snapped. "Don't fire! If you kill them that'll be money burned and the captain won't be happy!"

The men didn't listen. They were spooked. The sound of gunfire filled the air.
**************************

@Crimson Lion
Getting up to a wall so they could be rounded up to be led to safety didn't sound too bad, at least it was a chance to live to fight another day. However, between the large man with the red hair starting a fight so pullets were flying everywhere and the fact that the fire was moving inside, along the ground, towards the cells was a bit disconcerting. It would reach the center arena in a matter of moments.
