The Lost Fruits

"There is someone on my head, isn't it?" Tamatoa had a deadpan expression on his face when he realized that someone is on top of his shiny, golden, and stunning shell.

"Let's get this party started!!" Blue shouted on top of Tamatoa "A...Do the thing!" He said.

"You will not fight?" Ace asked.

Blue chuckled as he retreated back "h no, you know I can't do that, haha! Have fun!" Blue said.

"ENOUGH!!" Tamatoa shouted before swinging his sharp claw on top of his head towards Ace who jumped up evading the simple attack with Ariel in his arms. He shifted his gaze to Elsa and smiled "ELSA!! catch!"

"What?" Elsa tilted her head. But she soon understands when she saw a screaming Ariel heading towards her

"AAAAAA!!!" Ariel came straight up like a rocket towards Elsa who got scared "You idiot!!" She said before quickly forming a snow slide for Ariel but with the speed, she was coming with, she still was in danger.

"Don't worry, I got her!!" M.o.a.na jumped in the slide and slide down with Ariel, she quickly caught her and used her spear as breaks. It took a lot of effort with Ariel unconsciously choking her.

Finally, the two stopped Elsa's trembling feet "Holly shh!!" Elsa whispered with a terrified face.

"Gah! God!!" Ariel grabbed her pounding c.h.e.s.t and looked at Ace with teary eyes "Is this how you treat someone you're supposed to save?!" She called.

From far away, Ace's voice could be heard "Well... You're still alive." He called.

"Hahaha!! That was fun!" Just a little behind Ariel, M.o.a.na started "We should do that again." She said.

As for Poseidon, he was not sure if he should be happy to see Ace or frustrated for his survival from his deadly ice attack.

"Hey." Blue appeared right in front of Poseidon's face.

"Get out of my face, Marid. I am trying to see if my daughter is fine." Poseidon grabbed Blue from his shoulder and put him aside.

"Eeey, don't worry, she will be fine." He said. "But how does it feel?" She asked.

"What?" Poseidon asked in irritation.

"That your daughter's life is dependent on the people you tried to kill?" Blue smiled.

"... Don't play with me, Marid..." Poseidon trembled in frustration.

"Huh? What? Is that regret I hear?" Blue brought his ears near Poseidon who snapped and took his trident and struck Blue, only to be met with Blue smock and Blue disappearing. A very faint 'Trolololo!' could be heard.

"This is a strange situation we are in right now." Tamatoa sighed.

Ace landed on the ground and smiled "Hm?"

"I had things under control, I finally was able to get the Trident for my shiny shell..." With each word, Tamatoa's eyes turned red. "But you people just had to show up!!" he shouted before striking the ground sending erupting lava from the ground towards Ace.

Ace did not move and took the full hit head-on "Fool!" Tamatoa smirked. But his smirk soon disappeared when he still saw Ace still standing unscratched.

"Well..." Ace looked around him uninterested "Was that supposed to do something?" he asked.

Tamatoa flinched "You freak!!" He shouted before dipping himself into the lava and jumping up and striking down with his full weight on Ace "I will crush your skull out!!" He shouted.

Ace shook his head and coated his hand in Haki, as Tamatoa was landing, Ace stroke him in the bottom of his body sending Tamatoa flying through the cave, passing by Elsa, M.o.a.na, and Ariel who only saw a blur and the wind passes by them.

"Rhaaaa!!" Tamatoa crashed on the wall at full speed, but he quickly regained his bearings and dashed at Ace "How dare you do this to my shiny shell!!" He shouted in anger.

"That's what you were worried about?" Ace asked.

"Nothing is more important than the shine on my shell!!" Tamatoa went for a claw snap to split Ace's body in half. But as he snapped his claws, he couldn't harm Ace at all as his body was tough as steel.

"Does that also include your life?" Ace smiled at Tamatoa.

"What?" Tamatoa flinched at his words.

"Tell me..." Ace spoke while his body's started burning "Have you seen the face of the devil before?" he asked. Following his words, Tamatoa started shaking and trembling as he took a few steps back.

"N-No!!" He mumbled "NO!!" He then started running away from Ace.

"Not so fast." Ace jumped up "Elsa, shield yourselves with ice!!" He called. Ace burned with Green flames.

Ace smiled and shouted "[Code Break]!" From under Tamatoa, a green circle of flames surrounded him.

"Wh-What is this?!!" Tamatoa asked with fear. Then a few seconds later, a green fire pillar erupted from under him to the sky, Elsa quickly covered herself and the other two girls in ice, but with how hot the flames were, she needed t keep supplying her barrier with ice magic, or it will melt down and get them burned.

Even Poseidon was shocked "That brat..." He mumbled "He wasn't going all out!" he concluded.

That was an old habit of Ace from when he was young, dragging fights to learn more about his situation...He usually does this in unknow fights. And so he did here too, he currently doesn't know much about magic, and now gods started getting involved, Genie, Monsters and many more.

Ace still does not know where he stands in the food chains.

Tamatoa was getting burned alive, screams of pain filled the cave "Nghaaa!! MY shiny!! Rghlaaa!!" He kept on screaming, little by little, his voice became weaker and weaker, until he could no longer scream and can only succ.u.mb to his death.

The green fire disappeared and Tamatoa's burned body turned to ash, and the only thing remaining was a strange hook-like thing. Ace walked to it and held it in his hands, it was strange but he could feel something from it "It is rejecting me." Ace said with an intrigued smile.

"Ariel!!" Poseidon called "Come to me!!" after seeing Tamatoa dead, Poseidon called his daughter to him.

Elsa ran to Ace who was speaking with Blue to make sure he was okay. Ariel thanked him with every shard of her soul and floated to her father.

"Dad!" She called.

"Baby girl!"

"Dad!" It was an emotional scene seeing a father and daughter coming to each other's embrace...that is if Ariel did not unch her father in the chin "You maroon!!" she shouted, Ariel grabbed Poseidon's beard and pulled it over making him squeal in pain.

"How many times do I tell you to listen before you act, huh?" Ariel punched Poseidon's face "You trap me in a bubble and attacked the people who saved me! then you let me get kidnapped by a monster!! What did my mother even see in you to marry you, or did you trap her in water bubbles too?!!"

Ace, Elsa, Blue, and M.o.a.na felt sorry for him, no matter which universe you're from, that must hurt, especially if it's coming from your daughter.

After getting done from her father, she dragged him to Ace and Elsa and demanded that he apologies to them, which he did...unwillingly of course.

"Thank you very much, again, Ace and Elsa..." She then shifted her gaze to M.o.a.na who was all smiles "You too, you're a kind person to help a total stranger like me, I am most thankful." She said.

M.o.a.na chuckled "No need, it was my first time seeing a Mermaid, so I am fine with that."

Ariel laughed "Then I would like to formally invite you to our kingdom and give you a place to rest in. That is the least we can do." Ariel said, "Isn't that right, father?"

"No." Poseidon said firmly, but with one pull from Ariel on his beard "I MEAN YOU'RE WELCOME!!" he shouted.

"The Mermaids kingdom, ey?" Ace thought about for a second "I wonder how different it is from the one I know?" he said.

Elsa and M.o.a.na looked at Ace for his decision "What?" Ace asked, seeing their faces.

"They are waiting for you to decide." Blue nudged Ace.

"Decide what?"

"To accept the invite or not?"

Ariel was looking at Ace with hope, her father was cursing him in his mind over and over. Elsa and M.o.a.na were a little anticipating. And with that many people looking at him hopefully, Ace shook his head "Alright...Let's go to the Mermaids kingdom." He said
