Auction House: Flames of Azula

[11 Years Ago]

A young girl lay on the ground lifeless, with cuts and wounds all over her body. Her body was not the only one laying on the ground as a large number of deceased people were scattered around her.

On the shore, one could see a pirate ship that was sailing away while cheering and drinking booze. The island where the girl resides was attacked by a group of pirates using the " hit and run" method to not waste too much time plundering.

However, little did the pirates know that killing off the girl will change the fate of the future. The girl that was lying lifelessly on the ground suddenly coughed up blood and opened her eyes.

' What happened? Was I not killed saving the princess?' she thought to herself confused by the fact that she was alive. As she slowly sat up, she realized she had cuts and wounds all over her body and the pain made her wince.

' Wait a moment this isn't my body and I don't remember having these wounds,' she thought as she examined her body. ' It seems like my soul has reincarnated in this body, but what happened here? Why are there so many dead people?' she thought as she looked around her.

As the young girl pondered on her situation, she realize that her previous life as a heroine in a fantasy world has come to an end after her sacrifice to ensure that the princess was safe.

The girl used to be a royal guard of a kingdom and from a young age, her mission and purpose was to always ensure the princess was safe as she was next in line for the throne.

But now in this new life, she had no idea what her purpose was or where to go from here as she was stranded on an island all alone. The girl knew that she had to survive and find a new purpose in this life.

' Nothing, I have zero mana! How can I survive without my powers,' she thought as she tried to use magic only to come disappointed. She began to look for something to help treat her wounds and for something to eat.

After a few hours on the island, the girl saw a massive ship in the distance that was approaching the island. As the ship grew closer, the girl saw an old man with a scar on the left side of his face and he looked enraged.

The ship made its way onshore and the old man as well as other men who were dressed in similar uniforms got off the ship and were greeted by the sight of corpses. The old man's anger escalated at the sight that greeted him.

The girl didn't trust them and stayed hidden watching them afar, wondering what their intentions were. The old man with a scar looked in the direction of the girl and said, " You can come out kid, we won't harm you."

The girl was shocked at how the man knew she was there but she didn't sense any ill intentions coming from him and decided to approach him cautiously.

" My name is Garp I'm a Marine Vice-Admiral, I'm sorry we couldn't arrive sooner to save everyone," the old man said in a solemn tone as he crouched toward the girl.

' Vice-Admiral? Marines? I'm guessing that maybe these guys are the good guys,' thought the girl as she listened to Garp.

" My name is Azula, as you can see I'm the only survivor and I have no idea what happened here," Azula said, feeling a sense of relief after finally making contact with someone who seemed trustworthy.

Garp nodded and asked Azula if she had any family outside of the island, to which Azula responded no. " I see well then I have a grandson who's about your age, how would you like to come and live with us?"

Azula felt a feeling of warmth in her heart as she realized this might be her new purpose in life, to have a family. She accepted Garp's offer and followed him back into the ship to get treated and ready to start her new life with her newfound family.

[ Present Time]

' Why did I suddenly remember the first day I met Grandpa Garp?' Azula thought as she tried to regain her footing after she received a devastating blow from Alexia.

Her mind raced as she struggled to even injure Alexia, let alone defeat her. But then she remembered all the harsh training she had to go through in this new life as she couldn't utilize mana.

Azula gritted her teeth and remembered the promise she made with Ace and Luffy, to become the strongest and always watch over them as long as she lived.

With newfound determination she got off her feet and picked up her swords, ready to fight Alexia head-on. ' How durable can this girl be?' Alexia thought to herself as she observed Azula's sudden change in demeanor.

Azula took a fighting stance and ignited her swords once again, however, this time the swords were not the only thing that ignited.

Flames started to emit from Azula's back, her hair color also changed from black to silver. Her height suddenly increased, her skin color darkened and turned brown and she grew massive black wings from her back.

' What the hell is that? Is that her transformation?' Alexia wondered as she watched Azula's transformation in awe.

Azula let out a deep breath as she finished her transformation. " What kind of mythical creature is that?" asked Alexia in a curious tone.

" I have no idea, I found this fruit in Little Garden and ate it," Azula calmly responded as she also tried to understand her new powers.

While sailing at sea with Ace and the others, Azula had come across a Devil fruit in Little Garden, which she had eaten without knowing it type.

She ate the Hito Hito no Mi model: Lunarian, granting her the power to transform into a Lunarian, a mythical creature with the abilities of flight, enhanced power, speed and durability, as well as the ability to ignite her body and attacks into flames.

Azula tested her new powers as she launched herself toward Alexia, her wings flapping and leaving a trail of fire behind her. With her new powers, Azula had become a force to be reckon with and was ready to take Alexia down once and for all.

Alexia was at a disadvantage, not knowing how to counter Azula's newly acquired powers and abilities. Azula had the upper hand as her attacks started to work against the Quetzalcoatl dragon Alexia.

Azula was enjoying the rush of her abilities and adrenaline pumping through her veins as she fought her opponent with all her might, determined to come out on top.

As the battle continued, Alexia found an opening and she fired a wind blast attack on Azula that sent her flying backward. The blast was so heavy that Azula broke through the wall and ended outside of the building.

Azula got up on her feet not feeling any pain whatsoever. ' I need to understand the mechanics of this fruit,' thought Azula as she flapped her wings and flew back into the building ready to continue the fight.

Alexia was stunned by Azula's durability and quick recovery. ' I need to shrink my size because I'm just a huge target for her to keep hitting,' thought Alexia as she shrank in size trying to transform into her hybrid form.

Azula watched as Alexia shrank and took the form of a dragon/human hybrid which also had wings and could fly. ' Interesting she also has wings,' thought Azula as she watched Alexia's new form.

She quickly ignited her flames and charged toward Alexia determined to end the fight. Their battle continued with more ferocity and intensity, with each fighter determined to be the victor.

The battle sent shockwaves across the entire building, causing the fighters who were fighting at different battlefields to pause and look in their direction wondering what was causing the commotion.

Azula and Alexia's battle become more and more intense with the two fighters exchanging blows that shook the foundation of the building.

Reiju who was fighting nearby, felt vibrations that made her lose her balance for a moment. ' What kind of training did Lami enforce on Alexia,' she thought as she dodge another attack from Page One and countered with a swift kick.

The flames that Azula was emitting started to burn on the walls and floor of the building and some of the fighters felt the heat coming from the battle.

' Alexia and that swordswoman are running wild,' thought Lami as she continued her battle with Oven. Lami could sense the immense power that Alexia and Azula were unleashing in their battle and she knew that they were both having fun.

Despite the chaos caused by their battle Alexia and Azula continued their fight with relentless energy and determination.
