Side Story 32: Let's Crash a Party

Ein, the Roger pirates, and Beidou's crew partied like there was no tomorrow. A staple in the particular setting they were in.

Almost everybody got blackout drunk, except Rayleigh, Beidou, and Linlin. Even Gloriosa started drinking heavily as she stared at Ein from a little distance away. Clearly shy in trying to interact with him.

"Really? You guys partied until almost everybody got blackout drunk?" Shakky arrived and thought she would check out the rowdiness that was heard from the outskirts of Amazon Lily.

There weren't any brawls, but shouting matches happened. Especially when Roger challenged Beidou to a drinking match which he lost miserably. Ein's drinks were strong as hell and Beidou's been drinking it for quite some time now.

"Well, hello there. Thank you for letting us stay here for now until we repair our ship." Rayleigh raised a hand and smiled.

Shakky lit up a cigarette. "Then repay us then, we need some houses made because those two over there destroyed some from their little clash." Shakky quoted the air and rolled her eyes.

"It wasn't even that bad, the island would've been torn into pieces if Ein-nii here didn't redirect the force." Linlin shrugged and Beidou nodded.

"Hah, I give up. You monsters." Shakky sighed and looked back at Rayleigh. "Well, that's a done deal then. But can you escort us out of the calm belt? It would be a shame if our ship got destroyed again after it got repaired." Rayleigh gave a wry smile.

"That's gonna cost you extra." Shakky snorted and left the area after taking a swig on the bottle he had on his hand.

"Damn, what a woman." Rayleigh whistled and Ein gave him a thumbs up. "Umu, they're clearly a cut above the rest over here." Ein commented and Beidou pinched his side.

"Now, we'll be going. We need to do some jobs here and there after all." Ein raised his hand and all the crew members of Beidou floated.

Rayleigh saw the scene and thought it was a devil fruit, but he just shrugged. Ein's entourage then went away to go to a particular marine base.

__

After some time, they arrived at a navy base near the calm belt. The Marines gave way immediately as they saw Beidou's destroyer. They were pretty famous pirate hunters that cracks down on any of them that even had an inkling in attacking villages or cities.

They were then welcomed by Tsuru who was wearing a cape now. As the trio quickly ranked up to commodores.

"Beidou-san, Linlin-chan, Ein-san. Welcome, we have been waiting for your arrival for quite some time actually." Tsuru smiled at them, she quite respected them even though they weren't marines. As they hunt down nefarious criminals.

"Heya, Tsuru-chan. You look mighty fine with that cape. I hope Garp hasn't been causing you trouble." Ein patted her on the back and Tsuru sighed.

"He's... The same as usual. Picking his nose like his surname and fighting pirates." Tsuru chuckled and the three snickered at her fate as the sensible one. Sengoku was too, but he was a bro of Garp's still.

"So, what do you got for us Tsuru?" Beidou asked as she wanted to beat some troublemakers.

Tsuru took out a map and pointed at an island that has a pretty large city on it. "This here, a certain upcoming guy named Kaido is getting a lot of clout. And he has some beef with this man called Edward Newgate. They'll be battling here and they have some quite destructive devil fruits." Tsuru fronwed.

"Ohhh? What are their powers then? We only encountered gimmicky ones like that guy who can shoot strings from his fingers. It was quite the letdown, making me realize why Ein-nii doesn't want us to get one." Linlin shared and Tsuru shook her head.

"They have the Uo Uo no mi, model: Seiryuu and Gura Gura no mi. Kaido can turn into a dragon while Edward can create earthquakes from nothing." Tsuru informed them and they were quite interested.

"We'll stop them then! Linlin will take on the earthquake guy while I fancy me some fish. And I'll take him out with a fish." Beidou took out her tuna sword and Tsuru stared at her with a deadpan expression.

"Tsuru-chan, you shouldn't judge the weapon based on its appearance you know? It's more durable than seastone. It has weathered tons of freezers." Ein gave a smug smile as he smacked the tuna with a sword.

"You guys are ridiculous as always. Anyways, don't tell Garp about this. He'll definitely want to co-" Before Tsuru could finish her sentence. She got startled as a wild Garp appeared and had stars in his eyes.

"What!? Tsuru! How could you hide this from me!? I thought you were my friend. So some snot nosed pirates are going to cause some trouble eh? This will be fun." Garp grinned and Tsuru facepalmed.

"I knew it, Sengoku! You goddamned idiot!" Tsuru ran away and Garp prayed for his friend's safety. "Hehe, so when will we be going?" Garp asked with a wide smile.

"How about now?" Beidou slapped him on the back and laughed. "Okay then, but don't get on my way. I'll be having a nice fight besides Beidou-nee here." Linlin huffed.

They then travelled to the island where the showdown will happen.

__

"Gurararara! Kaido, quite a nerve on you. Challenging me to a fight?" A tall ass blonde man laughed weirdly.

"Uorororo! Newgate, you seem to think you're better than me? I will show you who is the one above us." Kaido also gave a weird laugh and pointed his kanabo at him.

"Heh, let's see then." Edward brandished his bisento and prepared to fight with Kaido.

But a man suddenly crashed between them, wearing a marine cape with the word justice on it.

"You damned pirates, messing with the populace with reckless abandon... I'll definitely let you taste my fist!" Garp shouted out as his fist turned black with his haki.

"Garp... Stay out of this if you know what's good for you." Edward squinted his eyes. But Linlin suddenly appeared behind him and cast a shadow over him.

The blonde immediately looked behind and was surprised that such a huge person could suddenly sneak up on him.

"You're Edward Newgate?" Linlin asked with a raised brow, chomping on her steak.

"What if I am?" He replied with furrowed brows, thinking that Linlin must have been looking down on him.

"Then you're gonna have the beating of your life for troubling the citizens here." Linlin squinted her eyes and her leg crackled violently with emperor imbued haki.

She saw an island that was quite nearby and kicked. Edward quickly blocked the blow with his bisento, but he still turned into a shooting star that flew away.

"Hmph, you better take care of that guy." Linlin snorted and jumped away to fight her adversary.

Kaido and Garp was shocked and could only look for a solid minute. But an earthquake suddenly shook them from the island Linlin sent Edward on.

"Garp, a marine dares to meddle in our fight. Then I should kill you." Kaido lunged on Garp and the fights started in earnest.

"Ahh, Linlin has pretty impressive strength now. Edward isn't as capable as her in haki, but his devil fruit will equalize the fight." Ein commented after he sipped on his bubble tea.

Beidou took a swig on her stein and nodded. "Umu, Linlin will surely enjoy this fight. She wanted to fight someone on her level for a long time. I wish he could satisfy that desire." Beidou sighed and looked at Garp who was having a brawl against Kaido.

"Garp might be strong, but he will lose. This will go differently if you give him a few years. His haki is still lacking, but he will put up a good fight with the six powers." Ein analyzed and Garp got a good hit on Kaido, but his body that was strengthened massively by the devil fruit he ate dampened the blow.

"This will be a good learning experience for him, let him get beaten up for now. Hehe, I want to see what he would do if Kaido starts flying. You did told me that the fish could fly around like an eastern dragon." Beidou chuckled and Ein gave her some skewers to go with her beer.

Kaido wasn't as good as Garp in combat and haki. But he could still use it, imbuing his club with it and striking Garp after the marine gave an opening.

But Garp suddenly got really flexible, using kami-e as opposed to tekkai, because that would be a bad decision. He might be an idiot, but Garp is a competent soldier.

"Taste my fist Kaido!" Garp jumped up and delivered an uppercut. Making Kaido fly in the air, Garp then burrowed his fingers on the ground. With pure grip strength, he took off a chunk. He then threw it at Kaido with all his strength.

"Whew, that guy's like a berserker. I doubt many people from Teyvat could handle the people here. They're absurdly strong." Beidou whistled and saw Garp's relentless attacks.

But Kaido transformed into his dragon form and swatted away the boulder that now looked like a pebble. "Gunununu! You think I'll back down with just that!?" Garp took another rock and threw it.

He then jumped and landed on it, using it as a platform because geppo won't give him the necessary velocity. He barreled to Kaido with a roar, giving a hook at Kaido's cheek. Making the dragon plummet to the ground.

Ein clapped with Beidou and they were amused by the fight. But someone beside them furrowed her brows and her pupils constricted to a deadly degree.

"That's not a dragon..." Tohru clenched her fist. It was a dishonor to their race to call Kaido's transformation as a true dragon.

Ein patted her head and started calming her down. "Don't worry Tohru, Beidou and Garp will beat him up later. He doesn't call himself a dragon anyways." Ein shrugged and Tohru thought that was true.

"Boro breath!" Kaido charged his fire breath and released a stream of fire at Garp who was in mid-air.

Garp couldn't dodge because it came too quickly and he was already near Kaido. The breath attack hit him as he protected himself with his haki in front of him.

Tohru then snorted and thought his breath attack was lame. "His breath is like a candle compared to ours. Now I really want to show him what a breath should be." Tohru's chest and throat started to burn brightly, but Rita appeared and hit her on the head with a paper fan.

"Tohru-san, you are being disrespectful in front of our master. You will be having lessons about etiquette later young lady." Rita smiled at her and disappeared once again after bowing at Ein and giving him a kiss.

Tohru paled and was having flashbacks as she froze.

"Uororororo, Garp. Where are you? Got burned into cinders!?" Kaido gave his weird laugh once again and he was greeted by a rock to his face.

Garp then appeared through the dust and smoke, his uniform burnt in several place. But he didn't lose any momentum.

Garp released a wind blade with his leg, using rankyaku. He then stepped on the air, building velocity as the distracted Kaido that got hit by the rock and air blade shook his body.

"Eat my fist!" Garp delivered a downward punch right at the top of his head. Sending Kaido down to the ground once again. Garp was about to double down and attack. But he was swatted away by a tail, releasing a shockwave as Garp flew.

"Impressive strength Garp, but you are too weak to damage me!" Kaido's giant fist clashed with Garp's and the ground trembled from their power struggle.

But Garp lost the exchange due to Kaido's enhanced strength. "Hah, I guess I shouldn't let him get too injured?" Beidou stood up and took her tuna.

"Go get em tiger!" Ein cheered her on and Beidou laughed. She then disappeared with soru and appeared right in front of Kaido.

"You've been a naughty little fish. How about I kick you down a notch?" Beidou spun on the air and gave a devastating axe kick on the top of Kaido's head.

Even Tohru cringed a bit when they heard an audible crack coming from his skull. With a resounding explosive shockwave, Kaido hit the ground like a meteor. Immediately turning back into his human form.

"Awwww. He's down for the count already, Ein." Beidou looked at Ein and he shrugged. "You hit him too hard, dummy."

They then looked at Linlin's fight that was being contained by Ein on the island. Or the neighboring ones would experience tsunamis and earthquakes.

__

Edward landed on the ground at the island he was kicked to and he frowned. "That woman is strong." He smirked, thinking it would be quite a fun battle.

Linlin then appeared as she ran through the air with geppo. "You ready?" She pointed at him and her limbs turned a dark violet as it crackled with energy.

"Hoh? An emperor huh? Two can play at that game." Edward's eyes turned red as his fist got coated by a white sphere.

Linlin snorted and tensed up her legs. She lunged towards him with an obvious telephone punch. But her overbearing aura promises pain.

Edward roared and their fists clashed. The air cracked and the fight of wills lasted for a few seconds before Edward got blown away.

"Hmmm, my knuckles felt numb for a second. You're gonna be a fun fight, Newgate." Linlin smirked and used soru to go to him, faster than ever.

Edward corrected himself on the ground and anchored his feet. He then whistled. "God damn, that girl is insanely strong." He coated his bisento with haki and his fruit powers. Sensing a foreboding feeling as he slashed right in front of him.

His supreme grade weapon hit Linlin's leg and the whole island trembled violently. The ground cracked and trees got blown away like twigs.

"Entertain me, Newgate." Linlin gave a smile and Edward thought she was a crazy meathead. Which she was.

They collided against each other violently, tearing up the island. But Edward knew he was in a disadvantage. Linlin's body was too strong and her haki is too advanced.

He did a grabbing motion in the air and the island suddenly almost flipped over. Surprising Linlin as she gave away an opening.

Edward quickly used his powers and punched right at Linlin's midsection with all his might. Making her stomach ripple from the intense force.

But it was his turn to be surprised. As Linlin coated her stomach with haki and used tekkai. She was literally almost invincible against physical attacks with it.

"A great punch, let me show you mine." Linlin used rokuogan and slugged Edward on the face. Making him eat dirt on the ground as Linlin's fist buried the blonde deep in it.

His vision blacked out for a good few seconds as his brain got a good rattling. He then stood up shakily as he saw Linlin had a smile on her face.

"Good, good. You didn't die, then let us continue!" Linlin laughed and opened up the fight once again with a spartan kick.

__

"She's having a mighty fine time over there isn't she?" Ein smiled and thought that Linlin has really improved.

"Umu, they grow up so fast. She's beating that guy up over there. I'll need to stop her before she cripples him. He doesn't sound like a bad guy based on the reports on him." Beidou looked at their files and knew that the blonde didn't really mess with civilians.

They watched on what was happening, but suddenly. Tohru perked up and looked at the side with a serious expression. Like a comet, something suddenly hit the ground and raised dust everywhere.

"Tohru! I'm here to take you back, you don't belong here even if there is magic at this place!" A woman that was wearing a priestess outfit glared at Tohru. (pic)

"Woah, is she a dragon too?" Beidou stared at Elma's horn on the middle of her forehead and wasn't quite surprised.

"Elma... You fucking bitch... You dare put dust on my master!?" Tohru's claws showed up and her teeth turned dagger like. Her chest and throat burned up and she released a breath attack at Elma.

"Eh?" The other dragon was quite confused and she got hit by the breath, she screamed and got sent away like a shooting star. The sea then seemingly exploded like it was hit by a nuke.

"Ehhhh? Damn, they're really scary." Beidou saw the sudden attack and was amazed and awed by it.

"Don't worry, she held back properly. Her real breath attack is color blue, she would sink entire continents with that if it hits." Ein shrugged and Beidou looked at Tohru with a complex expression.

"Hmph, that stupid girl. Ein-sama, are you dirty? Did she put a lot of dust on you? Don't worry, my saliva has cleaning properties, hehehe~" Tohru drooled and was thinking of licking him clean.

"I'm spotless Tohru, and your inner desires are being shown." Ein deadpanned at her as Tohru wiped off her drool.

"Tohru! You sneaky bastard! That was unfair!" Elma appeared once again and Tohru snorted.

"And what do you mean your master? This human is your master?" Elma sized Ein up and he smiled at her.

"Ahh, that's me alright. But I'm not human, though you can technically say that's correct. Because I once was." Ein shrugged and Elma tilted her head.

"Heh, bow down to my master Elma! You are lucky he isn't making you kneel with his glorious presence!" Tohru had a smug expression on her face.

"What am I? A tyrant? Well, nice to meet you Elma. I'm Einheri, call me Ein alright." Ein patted her head and Elma closed her eyes for a bit.

"Wait! I still have to get you back to our world Tohru! You'll disrupt the natural balance here." Elma blushed as she enjoyed the patting.

"What are you talking about Elma? The natural balance here is on my master's palm. He can decide what to do to this world any way he wishes, he basically owns this place." Tohru shrugged and Elma went wide eyed.

"Pretty long story, don't wanna bore you with it. So how about some treats instead?" Ein gave her a variety of treats and Elma drooled.

She gulped and asked with her eyes if it was really okay. Ein nodded and Elma started eating them, quivering at their delightful taste.

"So, Elma. Why don't you scuttle along and go back to our world. I'm fine here, I won't go back to that place." Tohru crossed her arms and Elma went quiet.

"Hoh? You cannot make a portal to come back perhaps?" Tohru snickered and Elma did an orz. The magic needed to do that wasn't privy to her and she just followed the portal in which Tohru used to get some ingredients back in their world.

"Now, now. Don't bully her too much Tohru, Elma-chan, how about you travel with us instead?" Ein patted her head and Tohru fumed with jealousy.

"Ahhh, I. I can't." Elma tried to resist, but she remembered the delicious food. "I'll feed you regularly, how about it?" Ein gave her some more dishes and Elma snatched them up real quick.

"Heh, too easy." Ein chuckled and Tohru begged for some treats too. "Are they really incarnations of power, Ein? They're I don't know... Too easygoing?" Beidou scratched her head in confusion.

"Well, what do you want? Them going on a rampage? This is much better." Ein snorted and Beidou nodded.

Garp then appeared while dragging an unconscious Kaido. "Ein! Beidou! I'm gonna bring this guy to impel down! Thanks for the help!" Garp laughed and didn't let the loss affect him. But he was going to train more extensively later.

"Okay, cuff him in seastone okay? Newgate though, can you let him go? He isn't really doing anything wrong with his powers." Ein asked and Garp nodded after thinking for a moment.

"That's true, this guy was the one asking for trouble. Anyways, I'll see you guys later! Guhahaha!" Garp dragged Kaido to the navy ship he came with.

"A free spirit that one, too bad. He'll never achieve his dream of peace with the celestial dragons involved." Beidou furrowed her brows. She then thought that they'll surely get their just desserts when her crew gets stronger.

Ein was about to pat her head, but he suddenly felt a ritual that was calling out to him. "A summoning of a heroic spirit? But how?" Ein raised a brow and tried remembering what could be the reason that would happen.

"Ahh, shit. It's because of that experiment..." Ein remembered that he was throwing his crap into the void to get rid of them once. And it must have landed there.

"Girls, sorry about this. But something interesting just came up. Elma, Tohru, don't fight okay? I'll leave this here." He gave a food pouch to Elma and he poked her head, making her eyes shine as she understood what it was.

He then disappeared as the ground rippled. "Hah, he comes and goes that one." Beidou sighed and thought he was too whimsical.

__

Ein appeared at a magic circle and the magus that summoned him died. "Well rip. That's what you get if you mess with an unknown catalyst bro." Ein shook his head and looked at the magus that turned into dust.

He was fiddling with one of Ein's noble phantasms that could turn anything to the most delectable meat. He created it for shits and giggles, but he eventually threw it away. And the unlucky guy just had to fiddle with the thing, creating a connection with him. Draining his entire being to establish said connection.

"Hah, where am I anyway?" Ein teleported above the place and quickly concluded that it was the early 2000's.

"Huh, I'm in Romania? I thought grail wars happen in Fuyuki?" Ein was confused, but he felt that there were 14 heroic spirits in the area.

"Ahhh, Fate Apocrypha? Damn, I'm in a pretty spicy timeline aren't I?" Ein laughed and thought of how he should proceed.

"Maybe this will be a good learning experience for the kids? Kukuku~ I am wise indeed, this will teach them how to command others. Well then, let me think of who needs some training with that." Ein began contemplating.

"Alexis, Bellatrix, Argento, and Arcene could really use the help. They're pretty hot headed after all." Ein picked the first four out of seven.

"Ahh, Alfia also needs this. She's a lone wolf, I wonder how she'll do in a holy grail war with a servant to command." Ein mused and thought she would have a hard time.

"And for the last two... I guess Tora and Hua. Hehehe~ Hua's really bad at commanding people and Tora needs to be a competent leader if she'll be a great merchant." Ein summoned the new faction that will be coming in.

"Ein-sama? Where are we?" Alfia looked around and the kids were also confused. "Welcome, rejoice everyone. You are going to fight in a holy war. For a shitty grail that can grant shitty wishes." Ein laughed and gave everyone 3 command seals.

"A what?" Alexis asked, tilting her head in cluelessness. "Oh it's on, this will be a good past time!" Hua cheered and wasn't embarrassed that she was here to learn how to lead.

"Now now, think clearly of who you want to summon as your servants. They'll be your proxy for this war, you can fight too. But you'll be quite limited, that goes for you Hua." Ein chuckled and she visibly drooped.

"Alright, decide on what servant class you'll pick! Go, we'll settle this with a rock paper scissors tourney." Ein announced and everybody wanted first pick, so they battled seriously.

"Ha! I won, take that you losers!" Alexis won with her stupidly broken plot armor from her mother. Ein didn't really took it off because it was clearly an innate power.

"I pick saber class! It's gotta be the sword user right?" Alexis focused and she summoned a servant. A flaming giant appeared and it kneeled before her.

"My master, I am Surtr. The king of the giants." Surtr immediately gave his name and could only bow down to the being that established a connection with him. (pic)

"Coool~ Dad! He's giant you know? He's also made of fire!" Alexis rejoiced, happy that she summoned a pretty cool servant.

"Humu, a lostbelt servant. Nice, now who's next?" Ein looked at them and it was Hua. As she used her dynamic vision to win. Technically it wasn't cheating, but Ein would punish her later.

A little girl with black dragon wings and wielding weapons that looked like clock hands appeared. "Master, my name is Melusine. The fairy knight, Lancelot." She introduced herself and Hua nodded in satisfaction. (pic)

"Hehe, pretty nice. Not bad, not bad at all." Hua commented and started poking her around.

"Me next! Me next! Hehehe~ mine's a berserker!" Bellatrix started summoning hers.

"Hmmm, a holy grail war as a heroic servant? Such irony, my master. I am Morgan, pleased to work with someone at your stature." The woman with long, silvery hair, and icy blue eyes introduced herself with a curtsy. (pic)

"Ohhh! She's pretty, ain't she dad?" Bellatrix also felt that she was a pretty strong individual. But was quite disappointed that she didn't get someone that fights mainly in cqc.

"Yes she is, honey. Now let's get this going okay? It's almost night time. And we can get to the fighting and killing when it's night time." Ein nodded sagely and everyone hurried up.

Next was Alfia. She summoned a blonde woman wearing Aztec clothing. A bubbly woman that was pretty friendly. (pic)

"Hi~ My name is Quetzalcoatl! Master, you're pretty strong for a human. But why is my divinity back at one hundred percent?" Quetzalcoatl tilted her head as she got a cut on her powers because of Merlin. And servants aren't supposed to be full powered.

"Don't ask me, you should ask him." Alfia pointed at Ein with a sigh. "Hehehe~ a divine spirit with her full divinity? That's more interesting, isn't it? And your name is a handful, we'll call you Lucoa." Ein chuckled and Lucoa nodded, but she was curious on how he was able to do that.

"That's the rider class, come on come on, we still have 3 more." Ein hurried them up and Tora was the next.

She summoned a caster class and what appeared was a pretty gaudy looking blonde. "Hmmm, interesting. So I've been chosen by a true God? Woe is me, my charisma and greatness is too much. Hello, my master. I am Gilgamesh, the greatest hero in history." (pic)

Tora thought of someone that could help her with economy and Gilgamesh got summoned as a result. He was the king of Uruk after all.

Argento summoned an archer and what appeared is a woman in revealing clothing and Gilgamesh's mood soured when he saw her. (pic)

"I am Ishtar, master. Let me handle the enemies." She has a smug look on her face and furrowed her brows when she saw Gilgamesh.

"Geh, send her back. She's a bratty and useless goddess." Gilgamesh immediately announced and Ishtar pointed her hand at him. "Shut up, king of Uruk!"

Everybody ignored the quarrelling of the two and Arcene summoned her assassin. A woman in a swimsuit appeared. (pic)

"I am Scàthach, master. Where is the beach? We should enjoy ourselves." Scàthach introduced herself and Arcene raised a brow. Not really knowing if she was an assassin.

"Yosh. You guys have successfully summoned your servants! Now, of course. I need to have one of my own." Ein smiled and started summoning another.

But the space ripped apart instead of a servant suddenly appearing. A woman with huge horns appeared. Her glowing eyes with X's for pupils stared at the one who summoned her. (pic)

Ein smiled at her and took off her seals, the bindings on her arms that was like a straight jacket got taken off and she stared at her hands.

"T-Tiamat?" Ishtar, Gilgamesh, and Lucoa immediately got shocked. But they felt no further orders from their masters.

Ein then poked her on the forehead, giving her information and developed her mind. So she won't just react on her instinct to destroy humans in order to save herself.

"Hey, want a new purpose in life instead of creating things?" Ein smiled at her and patted her head. Tiamat internalized his words and the new information she had. Why everything happened that way. And the primordial goddess nodded.

"Un, please take care of me." She bowed and Ein laughed.
