The Lost Fruits

After a long journey from Jahilon Kingdome back to Agrabah with Genie who never shut up about the hot sun, Alexander finally reached Agrabah. On his way in, he was recognized by some locals and greeted and thanked by them. News got leaked about his deeds from the palace. His killing all of the invading army's soldiers was a great morale boost that finally after years of humiliation, Agrabah has got itself a strong trump card.

"Oh! look who it is? the hero himself." Aladdin met Ace in the streets and greeted him.

"What Hero? I did nothing to be praised for." Ace high five Aladdin and smiled. He lowkey missed this brat.

"Oh, how humble of you! you came back on a vacation from the army?" Aladdin said as he walked with Ace.

"You talk like I am a soldier. I am still your boss and the owner of Morjan. I was never part of the army to get a vacation from it." Ace ruffled Aladdin's hair.

Aladdin didn't like that one bit, he spent a full hour to get a good hairstyle and now its missed up. "That's what you're saying, but the people around here are already calling you [The Greatest Soldier]"

Ace frowned 'Hope this won't go on, I am not that interested in going in wars.' On their way. Ace and Aladdin were stopped by the Royal Guards.

"Sheikh Portgas, you're being summoned to the palace." Razar, the chief commander of the Royal Guards spoke with his hand on his sword.

"I just came back, I will go after I am done inspecting my company and taking a shower." Ace responded. Aladdin looked at the guards and frowned. He doesn't like their behavior. It is almost the same when they used to chase him.

"You have mistaken me, my lord." Razar took out his sword "That was an order." The common people who were passing by noticed this and stopped in their tracks not understanding what is going on.

"Is that Portgas? what are the royal guards took their swords out on him?" One man asked.

"I don't know, but he is a war hero? why are they treating him like this?" An elderly whispered.

Noises started filling the area as more people surrounded the area. Ace sighed "I will go after inspecting my company." He said without any change in his emotions. The guards behind Razar took their swords and surrounded Ace.

Two men pulled Aladdin "Oi! what are you doing? let me go!!" Aladdin shouted as he was thrown away out of the circle.

Razar came closer to Ace "I will not tolerate anything further, comply with our orders and come with us." He put his hand on Ace shoulder.

Ace smiled and looked ar his hand "What a poor hand, it will get burned by such foolish owner." As sooner as he finished his words. Razar's hand was put on fire. His steel gauntlet melted and burned his hand.

"Ghaa!!" He shouted with pain as he watched his hand fall on the ground.

Ace walked to Aladdin and helped him up "I will go to the palace after i am done." He looked at the other guards and with a bit of conqueror Haki they couldn't feel their legs and they almost fainted as they felt the world spinning in front of them.

Seeing this, the common people were lost for words "Just what is going?" One woman asked with a confused face.

"Did you see Razar's hand, it got burned, the rumors are true, he is really a powerful fire Magus!!" One man said with his eyes widened.

"So he really killed the Jahilon Army!" Other added.

"Of course, I had some doubt but it turned out to be real, Razar's hand even melted!"

Back with Ace. Aladdin had a troubled face "Is those okay? you just harmed the royal chief commander of the Royal guards, whatever they wanted from you will get harder like this, you should have just went with them." He said. Abbu on his shoulder supported Aladdin with a worried body movement.

Ace chuckled "Relax, what will they do, send another squad to get me. Then I will just burn them and be done with it." He said, "Besides, I am tired from a month's journey on the carpet. Though he could have just traveled with his lightning in seconds, he wanted to annoy Genie for some time and traveling was a great way to calm the mind.

Ace pointed up at the carpet flying above their head in the sky. "Oh! yeah, can I get a ride?" Aladdin asked with sparkling eyes.

"Of course, but first, let's go see Walid." Ace laughed as he put his arm on Aladdin's shoulder.

Some Time Later - Royal Palace - Vizier's Tower

------------------------------------------------------

"Beg your pardon?" Jafar looked at Razar whose face was twisting with pain and despair at his melted hand.

"He refused to come with us and melted my arm!!" Razar responded, "I did I was ordered, but he attacked us, he is a ruthless Magus!!"

Jafar sighed and clenched his fist "You know...maybe you working for me for a long time made you behave in unexpected ways that i never paid attention to..." Jafar stood up and got his staff in his hand "This was a perfect opportunity that i have been thinking about for a week and a half after Hassan's message to the palace. The perfect chance to get rid of this guy forever..." Jafar smiled and raised his staff and put the end of it on Razar's forehead "I only instructed you to bring Sheikh Portgas to the royal palace for his trial on the orders he has given in Jahilon...yet, and I can swear you took out your sword in his face making him wary and expecting something..." Jafar chuckled and blood veins started lunging on his forehead. The room became dark and the red parrot screams in terror with Razar not been being able to utter a single voice "...You disappoint me, Razar." On his words, his staff glowed red and as if the life force of Razar was being s.u.c.k.e.d out from his.

Razar's body started becoming thin and grey like a mummy, no sooner he dropped to the floor and his body crumbled into dust.

Jafar looked at the little pile of dust and gritted his teeth, and with hatred filled scream the room went into chaos. Thankfully his Tower was far from anyone to hear him.

The Princess' Chamber

-------------------------

Sitting in front of et mirror with Dalia making her hair, Jasmine hummed a song with a happy expression.

"What are you so happy? you have been like this for weeks." Dalia smiled and looked at Jasmine in the mirror.

"Nothing," Jasmine responded with a smile and unchanging expression.

"Is it about the lover boy coming back?" Dalia took a wild guess and said.

"No." Yet, Jasmine denied it with a smile.

"So, it is about him." Being with Jasmine since she was a child, Dalia could understand her like an open book "Well, if that is the case, I have news for you."

"What?" Jasmine looked at her in the eyes through the mirror.

"I have heard from the servants in the throne room that he arrived today to Agrabah and that the Sultan has sent for him to come to the palace."

Really?!" Jasmine gasped "I never got wind of this!!" she said with a frown.

"Yeah, it seems that it was a secret thing. But it is true, i bribed the guards of the throne room for it. I Praise myself for it." Dalia laughed as she patted her own head with satisfaction.

"I see..." Jasmine mumbled, she looked at herself in the mirror "P-Put my hair down...I- I think it looks good that way." She said with a tint of pink on her cheeks.

"Is it really you that thinks it look good down?" Dalia laughed at how cute Jasmine become "Forget the hair and think about the princess Dalia thing you're gonna have to explain." She said.

"That is fine!" Jasmine said with a puffed c.h.e.s.t and a proud smile.

"Oh? you have a solution?" Dalia asked as she put a blue hairpin in Jasmine's hair.

"Yes. My solution is..." Jasmine smiled showing her perfect white teeth "...Act like nothing ever happened!"
