Starting in One Piece, I'll Build the Strongest Fairy Tail!

"Ah..."

After Saint Charlos was taken out by Natsu's punch, the Supernovas present grimaced and surrounded Natsu.

Jewelry Bonney, in particular, transformed into her adult form, pointed at Natsu's nose, and unleashed a verbal tirade: "Do you have any idea what the consequences will be, you fool? You'll be relentlessly hunted by the Marine Admirals! You bastard!"

"Bonney, calm down!"

"These monsters aren't afraid of the Admirals."

"The famous Kuzan lost to them..."

In response to Bonney's shouting, her crewmates—nominally her subordinates but in reality, elders from her village—pulled her back, trying to reason with her.

"Oh, right."

"Their captain defeated Admiral 'Aokiji'."

"But the problem is, they aren't afraid of an Admiral, but we are!"

"Now how are we supposed to get to the New World?!" Bonney said in despair.

"Hey, hey! Did he really do it?!"

"That was a Celestial Dragon!"

"He just took him out like that?"

Nearby, "Mad Monk" Urouge was completely dumbfounded. He never dreamed that someone in this world would dare to commit such an unpardonable act.

That was a Celestial Dragon, a noble of the great world, a descendant of the twenty kings who founded the World Government.

"Wendy, how are their injuries?"

Natsu paid this no mind. He only looked at Wendy, who was treating the wounded beside him, and asked.

"Leave it to me, don't worry."

"Their vital signs have finally stabilized thanks to my efforts. But whether they can make a full recovery will depend on their nutrition and rest from here on out," Wendy said, wiping the sweat from her forehead and smiling at Natsu, looking completely in control.

"You two are a nurse and a doctor, right?"

"I'll leave these two to you now..."

Hearing this, Natsu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the nurse who was almost taken as a wife by the Celestial Dragon, and the elderly doctor who had been pushed to the ground, and spoke seriously.

"But..."

The beautiful young nurse still hesitated.

"You don't want to marry that ugly guy, right?"

"And that man is your fiancé, isn't he?!"

"If that's the case, hurry up and get them out of here!"

"You can leave this place to me," Natsu assured the young nurse.

"Yes!"

"We have no words to express our gratitude for this kindness!"

The young nurse and the tavern worker, who had recovered, didn't hesitate. They bowed deeply to Natsu in thanks, then immediately took the doctor and patient and fled.

"You all should run, too!"

"Don't get caught again."

Next, Natsu undid the chains on the dancers and slaves. Just as he was about to remove the collars from their necks, the slaves resisted.

They looked at Natsu with panicked expressions and pleaded, "No, don't touch it! It'll explode!"

"Explode?!" Natsu froze, a look of confusion on his face.

"Our collars have explosives in them. The moment we show any sign of resistance, the collars will detonate," the man who had been used as a mount by Saint Charlos, his body covered in scars, explained earnestly to Natsu.

"This is going to be tricky," Natsu said, his brow furrowed, seemingly unable to think of a solution.

"I've got it!"

After thinking for a long while, something suddenly occurred to Natsu. His eyes lit up as he said seriously, "We can cut off their heads first, take off the collars, and then have Wendy reattach them with her magic!"

"How could that possibly work, you idiot!"

As Natsu's words fell, Nami, who had just finished paying the bill at the restaurant, smashed her fist onto Natsu's head.

"Ow, that hurts!"

"Is my body of fire a fake?" Natsu whimpered, clutching his head with tears in his eyes.

"Amazing! She can actually hurt Natsu?!" Lucy, standing beside Nami, looked on with envy at Nami's "Fist of Love."

"Want to learn?" Nami asked, looking at Lucy.

"Yes! Of course, I do!" Lucy nodded vigorously. She wanted to learn this ability more than anything.

"I'll teach you!" Nami said with a grin, one hand on her hip.

"Aye~"

As Lucy nodded emphatically, she'd gone full Happy.

Nami gained a little fangirl.

"Lucy, you said my line," Happy grumbled from the side, looking aggrieved.

Yes, he, Happy, didn't have many lines to begin with, and now Lucy was stealing them all. It was too much.

"Sigh..."

"You guys... as expected, you're causing trouble without thinking again," Carla sighed helplessly, a look of despair on her face. She could vaguely see what was about to happen in the near future, and it was, to put it mildly, utter chaos.

"ROOM!"

Just as Natsu was standing there with a large bump on his head, deep in thought...

A handsome, magnetic voice sounded in everyone's ears. In a daze, they saw a transparent hemisphere envelop everyone present.

"Amputate!"

The voice rang out again, followed by a silver flash of a blade. The necks of all the slaves present were instantly severed.

Then, one by one, the explosive collars were removed by a man who had suddenly appeared before them and thrown into the sky.

BOOM!!

With the sound of the explosions, the man reattached the heads he had severed back onto the slaves' necks.

"The collars are off!"

"We're alive!!"

In an instant, joy appeared on the faces of all the slaves. Their eyes, which had lost their light, suddenly shone with a brilliant gleam. This was the taste of freedom.

"Someone really did cut off their heads?! Then took off the collars and put them back on!" Lucy was completely stunned. She couldn't comprehend how someone in this world could actually pull off the nonsensical act Natsu had described.

"This is too ridiculous!"

"I'm at a loss for words."

"My snark-energy is depleted."

"This world is too bizarre," Lucy said weakly, clutching her heavy chest.

"But Lucy, you haven't stopped snarking," Happy pointed out helplessly.

"Anyway, who are you?" Nami asked, looking at the cool-looking handsome man with a goatee.

"My name is Trafalgar... Law," Law said, concealing his hidden name. At this moment, Law couldn't fully trust the Eden crew.

"Law?!"

"Who's that?"

After Law announced his name, Natsu tilted his head, looking like he couldn't remember.

Happy stood beside Natsu, also tilting his head and shaking it. "Don't remember at all."

"Sounds a little familiar," Nami said, her eye twitching. She felt like she had heard the name Law before, but it seemed her memory was getting worse from hanging out with Natsu and the others too much.

"I think Eden mentioned him?" Lucy offered, phrasing it as a question.

"Ah..."

Law looked at the group before him and was suddenly dumbfounded.

So these people, and the two reliable-looking ones from before, were really on the same team?!

For a moment, Law felt like he'd been scammed.

Eden: "Didn't expect that, did you, dear Law? To recruit you, I sent the two most reliable members of my crew."

Yes, even if Gray had a penchant for stripping... in Eden's eyes, he was still more reliable than Natsu.

"This is the guy Eden was looking for," Gray and Robin said, walking over from a short distance away. They looked at the Fairy Tail members, led by Natsu, who were staring blankly at each other, and spoke with resignation.

"So... what exactly happened here?" Gray asked Natsu.

"Well, it was like this..." Natsu began to recount the events from start to finish.

"What?!"

"I was wondering why this street was so quiet."

"And why all those trouble-making Supernovas had fled."

"You actually killed a Celestial Dragon?"

"Now the situation is completely out of control."

Law, who had been calm until now, was completely floored after hearing from Natsu that he had just knocked out a man calling himself a World Noble named Saint Charlos-something-or-other with a single punch.

So, was there anything in this world that these people wouldn't dare to do?! Damn it!!

"So, what now?" the group asked, looking at Law with eyes full of pure, unadulterated stupidity.

"Are you pretending not to know, or do you really not know?" Law asked after a moment of thought.

"A Marine Admiral is coming," Robin said with a smile.

"A Marine Admiral? Didn't we already beat one?" Nami replied nonchalantly, smiling.

"More than one might be coming, you know~" Robin patted Nami's shoulder and whispered, "After all, there are three Admirals! And that's not even counting the candidates or former Admirals."

"Three? That many?!"

"Pfft... you've got to be kidding me." Nami looked as if she were coughing up blood. She looked at Robin and said, "So, what do we do now?!"

"Let's go find Eden and meet up with him first," Robin suggested after a moment's thought.

"That's all we can do."

The group agreed that the best course of action was to find Eden first.

"By the way, where exactly is Eden right now?" Lucy suddenly seemed to remember something and asked the group.

"Ah?!"

At Lucy's words, everyone present showed a look of sudden realization mixed with endless confusion, as if they had completely forgotten Eden's location.

"These guys are hopeless."

Law nodded emphatically, a nearly hopeless smile on his face.

So, what on earth was I thinking, partnering with this group? Was I just dazzled by the 'Fifth Emperor' title?!

Meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates were also on the move.

"What? Camie was captured?" Sanji looked at Luffy and the others in disbelief. "How could the adorable Camie-chwan be captured?" he cried.

"Because Fish-Men and Merfolk are rare here," Hachi explained mournfully. "They're always being targeted by human traffickers! A young and beautiful mermaid like Camie could be sold for a high price of over 50 million Beri..."

"Even though Boss Jinbe saved me again, and I was planning to turn over a new leaf, in the end, I couldn't even protect my own friend, could I?!"

Yes, Hachi was one of the Fish-Men that Eden had casually sent flying on his way to Arlong Park, and because of this, he had dodged Eden's ultimate attack and survived. However, he was caught by the Marines who arrived later and thrown in prison. Since his bounty wasn't high, he was eventually bailed out by 'Knight of the Sea' Jinbe, who used his Warlord privileges.

"No matter what, I'm going to save Camie!" Luffy declared, sitting before the others with a serious expression.

"YEAH!!"

As Luffy finished speaking, everyone present nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, in the back room of the Human Auction House on Grove 1.

"So, old man Rayleigh, how about joining us?"

"If you join now, you'll be considered a founding member! When our enterprise succeeds, there will be plenty of benefits~" Eden sat casually among a group of slaves and asked the white-haired old man beside him—the legendary right-hand man of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, the famous "Dark King" Rayleigh.

"I'm too old. The world belongs to you young people now! I just want to enjoy a long-overdue normal life, maybe look at some pretty young girls! After all, I love pretty young girls," Rayleigh said, taking a sip from his flask and shaking his head, rejecting Eden's invitation.

"Don't be so heartless, Mr. Rayleigh."

"I sold myself just to meet you."

"I'm about to be sold as a slave in a little while."

"I hope my buyer is a beautiful big sister with a big chest, a great butt, and a gentle way of speaking," Eden wished.

"Dream on."

"Only perverted nobles with weird tastes would be interested in someone like you."

"The beautiful young noblewomen all prefer men like me," Rayleigh interrupted, speaking proudly.

Gulp, gulp, gulp~

Rayleigh then took a large swig of his drink to calm his nerves before adding, "But then again, whoever buys the famous 'Fifth Emperor' Eden is in for a world of trouble."

"Hahaha..."

"Not at all, not at all," Eden laughed modestly.

At this, a giant man sitting beside Eden and Rayleigh, his face covered in scars and exuding an extraordinary aura, felt his eye twitch. He thought to himself, "Hey, hey? Are you kidding me?! 'Sea Emperor' Eden and the 'Dark King' Rayleigh, big shots like them, are sitting right next to me?!"

"By the way, what kind of human trafficker could possibly capture these two?"

"Did the Fleet Admiral and the Admirals switch careers to become human traffickers, or did the 'Four Emperors' of the New World do it?!"

The giant was completely stunned, looking at Eden and Rayleigh in disbelief.

While Eden and Rayleigh were chatting, the auction in the main hall outside was in full swing.

Meanwhile, "Captain" Kid and the Straw Hat crew had also arrived and gathered.

In addition, sitting in the VIP seats at the very front of the hall were two World Nobles with bubbles on their heads, wearing cumbersome Celestial Dragon suits... Celestial Dragons.

They were Saint Rosward, Saint Charlos's father, and Saint Shalria, Saint Charlos's sister.

"Strange, Charlos is so slow," Saint Rosward complained, a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.

"That idiot was probably distracted by some lowly woman again," Saint Shalria said angrily, seeming to know her foolish brother all too well. Unlike her gluttonous brother who wasn't picky, she only liked the elites of the God's Knights and disliked these mortal commoners.

"A former pirate captain with a bounty of seventeen million Beri!"

"A dancer from the West Blue..."

"And for the grand finale, a young female mermaid from Fish-Man Island."

As the auctioneer sold off one "item" after another, it was finally time for the main event of the auction: the mermaid girl, Camie.

It was at this moment that Eden's group finally entered the hall.

"A human auction?!"

"How can something so disgusting exist?" Lucy said in disbelief, her eyes filled with rage as she looked at the people being auctioned off like cargo.

"What an ugly island," Nami's expression was also exceptionally grave. Her gaze swept over the lavishly dressed nobles participating in the auction. "A bunch of beasts in fine clothing," she spat. "They're supposed to be nobles, yet they do nothing noble. The more high-class the place, the more low-class the behavior."

"I'm going to stop them," Natsu said, already prepared to destroy the entire auction house.

"Is Eden really here?!" Gray, on the other hand, was much calmer. He looked at Robin beside him and asked.

"He should be in the back. Eden... was captured." Robin nodded lightly to Gray and used her Seis Fleur to cover the eyes and ears of the three little ones, Wendy, Happy, and Carla.

"Sister Robin, I can't see or hear anything like this," Wendy said, blushing as she touched Robin's hands.

"Oh my~"

"The things here aren't for underage children to see. Just stand here quietly, okay?" Robin shook her head. She couldn't let such filthy and profane things taint the eyes of her little angel, Wendy.

"Nami-swaaan~"

"Robin-chwaaan~"

"Lucy-chwaaaan~"

"Please have some snacks."

Elsewhere, upon seeing Nami and the others, Sanji appeared before them as if by teleportation, fawning over them.

"Heh."

As for Trafalgar Law, he was giving his acquaintance, "Captain" Kid, a universally friendly hand gesture from across the hall.

"An ill-mannered fellow," Kid sneered after seeing Law's gesture.

"The mermaid?!"

Meanwhile, on the stage...

After the auctioneer called out the mermaid's name, the "product," Camie, was not brought onto the stage.

"What?"

"Another incident?"

"Can you people do anything right?"

At once, the nobles and Celestial Dragons present frowned and shouted angrily.

"Natsu, wait a second. Something's up."

Gray, who saw this unfold, sensed something with his sharp intuition. He grabbed Natsu, who was about to charge forward and destroy the hall.

"My apologies, everyone!"

"I'll go backstage and see what's happening."

"I'm very sorry for the trouble."

The auctioneer said this and, without hesitation, ran towards the back, muttering angrily, "Those damn slaves."

However, when the auctioneer actually reached the backstage area, he couldn't smile anymore. His mouth fell open in despair. "Ah..."

All the slaves, including Camie, the giant, and everyone else, were free of their chains and collars.

The security guards were all lying on the floor, their eyes rolled back, unconscious.

"I'm taking this one."

At the same time, Eden picked up Camie with one hand and strode towards the auctioneer.

"Eh?!"

Just as the auctioneer thought he was about to be killed, Eden simply walked past him and spoke to the newly freed slaves following behind: "He's all yours."

"Don't come near me!"

"JOKER is behind me! You can't afford to mess with him!" the auctioneer yelled in panic, looking at the group of freed slaves before him.

BOOM!!

Unfortunately, what awaited the auctioneer was the iron-fisted blow of the newly freed giant.

Outside.

"Is there an end to this or not?!"

"Where is the mermaid girl you promised?!" Saint Rosward was running out of patience. He just wanted to see the mermaid girl the auctioneer had called a top-quality item.

"My apologies!"

"Sorry to keep you scum waiting, but the mermaid girl is not for sale."

Just as Saint Rosward was roaring, Eden walked out from the backstage area, carrying Camie. He smiled and spoke softly to the crowd.

"You bastard! Who are you to say she's not for sale?!" Rosward shouted, climbing onto the auction stage and yelling at Eden.

POW!

Without another word, Eden sent Rosward flying with a single punch.

"AHHH!!"

In an instant, screams erupted throughout the entire hall.

"A Celestial Dragon was hit!"

The crowd looked on in disbelief at Eden, who had just struck Rosward.

"Eden!"

As for Eden's crew—Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Nami, and Robin—they all smiled. Eden never disappointed.

"Heh."

In contrast, Law, who had arrived with Eden's group, was extremely calm. He chuckled. "What's the big deal? So what if a Celestial Dragon was hit? Among the people I came with, someone already killed one."

BOOM!

At the same time, a loud roar came from the sky! As a Flying Fish Rider crashed through the roof of the auction house, Luffy and Zoro made their grand entrance.
