The Lost Fruits

Breaking out if his ice prison, Ace cracked his stiff neck "God! This reminds me of my fight with Aokiji, this is the second time in my life I felt cold." He said while stretching his body "However...The ice of hell, ey? Quite interesting."

While Ace was stretching his body, the yellow-skinned fella is still watching him from his chair with his book in his hand "Hello there, my dear guest." The yellow man talked with an interested tone.

Ace stopped stretching and looked at the man finally giving him attention "Hm? Who the hell are you?" He asked with a blank face.

"Such a rude attitude towards the man who hosted you in his own home." The yellow-skinned man smile.

Ace's eyes widened "Oh? Really?! Thank you very much, sir. My name is Portgas D Ace, it is a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you." He bowed politely to 90 degrees.

"Sahaha! An honest fellow aren't ya? Then what got you in that ice?" The yellow-skinned man.

Ace tilted his head "Aren't you going to introduce yourself? Don't you have one?" He asked.

The yellow man was confused "Name...? Yeah, I do have one...it's been so long since I have used my name though..."

"Okay...?"

"Yeah..." The yellow guy looked at the cave ceiling "...mmm... Lucifer!! That is right, my name is Lucifer." He said.

As soon as he heard the name, Ace frowned "The devil?"

"Nah, the Marid...I am a Djinn." Lucifer said.

Ace could swear he felt his lamp necklace trembles when the man said his name "Hmm? Something wrong Blue?" He looked at his necklace.

Seeing Ace reach for the lamp necklace, Lucifer frowned "Is that a Genie Lamp?" He asked with clear disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.

"Yeah, my friend is inside." Ace responded, he also could hear 'Stop talking about me!' coming from Blue.

"Blue...?" Lucifer got intrigued "You mean there are still more Djinns alive other than us?" With a snap of his finger, Ace's necklace blinked from his neck to Lucifer's hands "Hm? I sense a familiar presence coming from this one..." He said while holding the necklace up to his face.

"Hey, that's mine!" Ace complained, "Don't just take my stuff." He said.

"Well... wouldn't you come out for this king here?" Lucifer smirked as he spoke to the lamp.

Blue did not respond and did not move, however, he was so angry hearing this voice.

Lucifer was clearly displeased by the lack of attention he was getting from the genie inside.

As for Ace, he decided to not do anything, he remembered that story Blue told him once about his fight with a yellow Genie...And this one is clearly a Genie judging by his early words.

Lucifer frowned "You will not come out with your own will, huh?" He then snapped his stingers and Blue smoke mixed with thunder immerged from the lamp.

"Roaaaa!!" Blue came out screaming "Son of A--!!" He shouted.

Lucifer was shocked at the sight of Genie "Iblis?" He mumbled.

Blue looked at Lucifer and with an old rage, he shouted "Who else motherf.u.c.ker?! Remember now? bitch!"

Lucifer smiled and laughed "Sahaha it is really you, brother, how long has it been, ey? I see you're as good as ever."

"Brother? Oh, now you remember that I am your brother?" Blue descended to the ground and walked to Lucifer "Didn't seem like it when you beat the shit out of me when our father wanted to pass the crown to me." It has been ages since that time, but he still can remember it like yesterday.

"Oh, c'mon, I did it for you, for the two of us," Lucifer said.

"For us?! imprisoning me into this lamp like the pleasant genies was for us? and you're not in no lamp either." Blue scuffed at this response.

Lucifer, for the first time, stood up, tall with a sharp gaze, muscular body that can amaze warriors "Listen, little brother, i will not justify my actions for you, I did what I did for us, once you took that crown, you think Nomrood would sit by and let you order him around?"

Blue was taken back "Eldest brother Nomrood? what? he did not even complain to our father, and he had every right to..."

Ace took a seat on a nearby rock and listened carefully, looks like Blue is not your everyday Genie at all, and this Yellow guy is his brother 'Interesting...' He mumbled.

"Yes, like he would? you were the kindest of us, unique...but not the strongest and neither the smartest...I took you out to protect you, if not, why would i be under the sea for thousands of years?" Lucifer poked Iblis' head.

"..." Blue had a blank look on his face. If he thought about it for a second, His elder brother may do it, he was a cruel Marid anyways, even dared to slap their mother once which got him imprisoned for a couple of hundred years while starving. "But did you really have to beat me that hard? I even thought you were jealous of me for getting chosen."

"Jealous? why would i be?" Lucifer asked after he went back to his chair and leaned on it.

Blue shrugged his shoulders "I mean...You just beat the shit out of me and then left, no words, no explanation..." Blue pointed at his brother "...Why would i have thought besides that you were jealous of me being chosen? I even had trauma for fighting, i can't even fight properly."

Lucifer smiled "Well, one of us was definitely jealous, and about your trauma..." He pointed at Ace "There is someone who will do that for you."

"What? hey!!" Ace didn't like what he was hearing "I don't get paid to do that job." he said.

"You get 3 wishes out of it, so why not?" Lucifer said.

"That is if he wanted to use them wishes,! can you believe that it has been almost a year and he still didn't wish for anything, not even a change in weather." Iblis added after him with an annoyed expression.

Lucifer had his eyes wide open "for real?!"

"Yeah!!" Iblis answered.

"I am not that interested in wishes, i wanted one but he can't do it for me." Ace shrugged his shoulders.

"Hey..." Lucifer stood up again and looked between Ace and Iblis for a second before a smile formed on his lips "You know...since you won't use your wishes, why don't you free Iblis from the lamp?" Hearing this, Iblis was shocked as he looked at his brother and then at Ace.

"..." Ace thought for a moment "Okay." He said.

Wait wait, hold on man, if he set me free, i will lose all my powers to the lamp." Genie was thrilled about the idea of being free again, but the cost will be his magic powers, he will be as good as a human.

"The choice is yours...I don't care what happens." Ace said with a smile.

Lucifer chuckled "Well, another solution is better suited, How about you form the soulbind Magic."

"Huh? what's that?" Ace asked.

"It is magic that binds a human with a magical being forever through their soul boosting their power and preserving their bodies from old age. but it will take a few wishes." Lucifer explained. Iblis who was listening was jumping up and down from excitement.

"Let's do it, let's do it!" He chanted.

Ace didn't see the downside of this, he also wants Genie to be free, he was just waiting for him to ask for it "Alright, how do i do it?" he asked.

"Simple, rub the lamp call his name, and say "Iblis wish for you to be freed from the lamp and form a soulbind magic with me and forever walk by my side as a true friend". It will consume your three wishes, and it will get the job done." Lucifer said with a smirk.

Ace looked at Iblis who had his eyes resembling an anime girl looking at her senpai, Ace shook his head and chuckled "Alright, Iblis wish for you to be freed from the lamp and form a soulbind magic with me and forever walk by my side as a true friend." Ace said.

"YOU F.U.C.K.I.N.G GOT IT!!" Iblis jumped and clapped his hands together making thunder sounds, Blue smoke spread across the cave with lightning mixed in it, like a tornado it surrounded Ace.

"Hm?" Ace looked at his arm and he could see a Tatto being formed on his right arm which made him feel weird and a lot more powerful than before. The smoke dispersed and Iblis came out from behind Ace like a [stand] "It is completed..." He said with a smirk. The lamp in Lucifer's hands broke down like dust
