The Green Dragon vs the Dragon Emperor

"So who's that?" Alex asked without any sense of urgency as the party crasher transformed into a dragon right before their eyes.

"Ef hg da heen hagon."

*Bonk!*

"Don't talk with your mouth full." Alex told Bonney after hitting her with Sir Bonkers.

The little girl just glared at him ruefully while rubbing the top of her head, before saying after swallowing her food, "You stupid old man, he's the Green Dragon, Francis D. Drake. A super rookie from a few years ago that's made quite the name for himself. People even say he's going to replace one of the Four Emperors one day."

Alex cocked a brow when he heard that, before looking to now fully transformed dragon as he muttered under his breath, "couldn't you have picked a less obvious name?"

Drake didn't hear him though, as he turned his deadly maw towards Alex with liquid fire dripping from his teeth.

"Hiding behind women? You coward!" Drake snarled at him, making Alex's brow rise even higher as if to say 'really?'

With a flick of his wrist both Shirahoshi and Bonney were teleported to the other side of the room, beside the former's father, and Alex said, "I'm not hiding, I was just enjoying myself. Now let's just get this over with."

"Gladly!" Drake roared as he unleashed a inferno of dragon fire right at him.

"Mr. Alex-Sama!"

"My food!"

Shirahoshi and Bonney shrieked at the same time, as the fire engulfed that entire side of the room with Alex nowhere to be found.

"Drake! There had better be a good reason for this!" King Neptune roared as all of the Merfolk readied their weapons, with the three Prince's at their lead.

"King Neptune! This man is not what he seems! Please trust that I did only what was necessary to protect Fishman island from the chaos and destruction that he brings!" Drake pleaded with him urgently.

"I see... And was offering my people a future where we needn't worry about being enslaved THAT horrible!? Was him helping my daughter be free of the curse of Vander Decken THAT bad!?! Or how about when he convinced her to tell me the truth regarding her mother's death!? I trust THAT was a part of his heinous plan as well!"

As he raged King Neptune lifted his great trident up high, and slammed the butt of it down onto the ground with enough force that the entirety of Fishman island shuddered.

Drake was struck dumb at their reaction, since he was only trying to help them! But how could he explain that without telling them the truth about their place in an 'anime'?

Just then...

*RUMBLE.*

<"...">

<"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!">

*CRASH!*

Demonic voices roared with laughter from within the flames before a massive scaled claw extended out to seize Drake by throat, choking him as his large draconic body was effortlessly lifted up off the ground.

<"When has a dragon last been foolish enough to challenge us?">

As the voices sneered at him, Drake was horrified to see the flames from his breath swept away suddenly to reveal a truly massive dark red dragon that easily dwarfed him, with glowing green eyes.

<"What's wrong little dragon? Cat got your tongue?">

In the face of the taunting, Drake's mind raced as he tried to figure out what to do. WHAT he was fighting.

<"Neptune, we will be taking our leave. But we shall return shortly.">

Saying such to the king of the Merfolk, the giant red dragon then threw Drake back towards the entryway like he was less than a sack of potatoes. Instead of a door though, a wall of mist appeared in the doorway that he flew through.

And on the other side, Drake found himself in an expansive desert filled with numerous cliffs and canyons. Before he could get his bearings though...

<"Now little dragon, come and fight us!">

Standing to its full height, Drake estimated that his opponent was roughly four times larger than himself, which was outrageous considering his dragon form was nearly fifty feet tall.

But what was that saying? The bigger they were, the harder they fall?

And Drake planned to make him fall, HARD.

With flames gathering in his mouth a second time, he rushed at his opponent with his claws raised up. Drake strained his wings to the limit to maximize his speed, his target being the other dragon's head.

With a bored look on its face though, the other dragon lazily flicked its tail at him in an attempt to bat him to the ground. Instead, the tail passed right THROUGH Drake while leaving a path of flames. Just like a Logia Devil Fruit.

<"Oh?">

"Takes this!" Drake roared at their curious look, raking his Haki-infused claws across its face in an attempt to tear it open.

Drake's claws were the terror of the Devil Fruits users all across the world. They could tear into the flesh of even Logia users, as well as the 3rd Division Commander of the Whitebeard pirates, Jozu, who had a body made of diamond after eating the Kira Kira no Mi.

And they WILL tear through the scales of the dragon before him. Drake believed that with all his being.

<"Tough luck, little dragon.">

Drake couldn't understand what the other dragon was talking about as it smirked down at him, until he looked down at his prided and feared claws, to see them completely shattered.

Meanwhile the other dragon's face was without a singe blemish.

<"Our turn. PENETRATE!">

Before he could even register the truth that his claws hadn't been enough, Drake found himself suddenly hurtling backwards after taking a hit from the other dragon's tail. A hit hard enough that he spewed up a massive amount of blood instead of fire.

*CRASH!*

An entire craggy mountainside crumbled and came crashing down as he hit it, burying Drake under the rubble as boulders the size of houses came down on top of him.

For a moment there was only the rumble and crashing of the boulders, before it all went still and quiet as the last of the rocks fell to leave only the slight haze from the dust in the air.

*CRASH!*

Drake exploded out of the rubble with enough force that small rocks were sent flying like shrapnel, his furious gaze focused on the other dragon as he roared,

"ENOUGH!"

His entire body then shimmered and gleamed as it turned into diamond, just like Jozu's, as he seemingly dared the other dragon to harm him now.

The larger beast however just smirked, before whipping its tail yet again.

The result was Drake being launched back into yet ANOTHER mountain as his diamond transformation was forcibly undone, doing nothing to protect him from the whip-like tail.

"H-HOW!?!" He demanded angrily while coughing up yet more blood. As far as he could tell, there had been no Haki in either of those attacks!

One of Drake's cheats allowed him to use Devil Fruit powers of those who's DNA he'd consumed, which had earned him a vast array of powers after all of the people he'd fought over the years. Paramecia, Zoan, Logia, he had several abilities from all three branches of Devil Fruit powers, each with its own uses for each situation. He even had the power of the Yami Yami no Mi from Teach.

Yet no matter what power he used, they were all worthless against the foe before him.

Any defensive abilities granted by Logia or Paramecia fruits were useless, while the numerous offensive powers were either deflected or ignored by his opponent completely. Even the Noro Noro no Mi he got from Foxy was useless, as all the other dragon did was 'move faster' to counter the slowing effects of the beam.

As if it was that easy!

Soon Drake found himself kneeling before the larger dragon, beaten and breathing raggedly. His scales were torn and bloody, his claws shattered, teach dulled, wings ripped.

"W-what are you?" He growled In frustration.

<"WE, are the Dragon Emperor!">

***

<We should really use that form more partner.>

"Yeah, but it's a royal pain with how large it is."

<Perhaps, but it's worth it.>

"Depending on the situation. The same could be said of my Oozaru form."

Alex and Ddraig debated as they returned to the palace where they'd left the Merfolk waiting.

"Sorry about that. Where were we?" He asked as if nothing had happened.

"Are you ok, Mr. Alex-Sama?" Shirahoshi immediately asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. Just a bit of light exercise to work off my meal!" He declared, before waving his hand and restoring the state of the feast hall with Regeneration magic.

"Amazing..." Fukaboshi uttered as he watched magic at work for the first time.

"My food!" Bonney exclaimed again, except this time in joy as she readily began eating yet again.

"This girl..." Alex said while wryly shaking his head. He then couldnt help but to wonder who would win in an eating contest between her, Luffy, and Goku.

Questions for later.

"If I may, what happened to Drake?" King Neptune asked him suddenly.

"I'll deal with him as I see fit." Alex stated seriously. "Shirahoshi is aware of the circumstances somewhat, but Drake and I belong to the same group of people. I'll have to be careful in how I deal with him, and it was the same reason why he attacked me on sight."

"I see..." Neptune said as he contemplated what Alex said.

Shirahoshi had basically told him all about the Chatroom and the people on it, though not the perverted nature of it. So he might've had an idea of what Alex was referring to regarding his and Drake's circumstances.

"That being said..." Alex began, regaining his attention.

"It IS about time for me to be returning home for the night. I just came back to let you all know that everything was resolved, and to clean up the mess here."

Alex then looked to Shirahoshi and added, "would you like to come with me Shirahoshi? It would let you meet the rest of my wives so you all could get to know each other."

"Eh!?! Can I really!?!" She exclaimed with excitement.

Shirahoshi had never left Fishman island before, and had spent the last eight years locked in a tower due to Vander Decken. To say she was eager to see and experience new things that she had been unable to until recently, would be a contender for understatement of the century.

She turned her pleading eyes to her father for permission, who also happened to be the only person present larger than her.

"Hmmm..." Neptune hummed in contemplation for a moment.

It was obvious he was reluctant to grant his daughter's silent request, which made sense given her history.

"Very well then." He eventually agreed with more than a little reluctance. Alex had already made clear his intention to 'claim' Shirahoshi as one of his wives in the future, and Neptune had no objection to their eventual union.

"Thank you father-Sama!" She cried joyfully, which was joined in by the Pokemon that had been sent to her.

A moment later Alex had collected her, and Bonney, before returning to Asora as a cloud of mist enveloped them.

"Please pardon my tardiness!" A new voice declared as a well known figured entered the dining hall.

"Boss Jinbe!" One of the Prince's declared when they saw the Fishman that arrived. One of the Seven Warlords, the Knight of the Sea, Jinbe.

***

"Thank you all for coming."

"What thanks?! You just suddenly summoned us here!"

"""Yeah!"""

Everyone protested Alex's greetings, which was understandable after he forcibly summoned them with magic to the Misty Manor.

Upon arriving in Asora he sent Shirahoshi and Bonney ahead into the space-time orb, and called a meeting to share information and discuss how the preparations for war were coming. And naturally, not all of them appreciated being summoned so suddenly.

"Can't you at least give us warning before summoning us like that?" Sephie, former queen of Deviluke, asked tiredly.

"But I did give you all warning." Alex said with a grin, making everyone glare at him since his warning had come RIGHT before he summoned them.

"Anyways, let's get this meeting started!"

Saying such, Alex waved his hand yet again to conjured a small feast before his 'guests' to pacify them somewhat. He then said with a more serious tone, "let's begin."

Though still annoyed, the rest of those present quickly launched into giving their respective reports.

Sephie began with a detailed reports of every kingdom in the One Piece world that had joined them or rebelled against the World Government. They weren't requiring every nation to join them, but the primary goal was convincing them to no longer support the World Government to cut their influence off at the knees.

Of course, there were still numerous kingdoms that remained steadfast in their support of the World Government, but they were almost entirely corrupt nations that regularly mistreated or took advantage of their own citizens. Unfortunately for them, it was practically child's play for a team of Devils to discover and air out every single piece of dirty laundry the corrupt nobles and royalty had, and then turn their own citizens against them in open revolt.

After Sephie they listened as Hajime detailed his progress on the Lambda status system, which he hoped would be done in a matter of days. The only real problem with it was that there weren't a lot of reliable ways for people to earn the experience points needed to improve their status in Asora. Something Alex would have to think about.

They then received the updated reports from the leaders of the various races of Asora regarding their own preparations for the looming war against Markus.

As per Alex's orders, only volunteers would fight on his behalf outside of their actual militant groups, such as the peerages and Valkyries. Most of his people had initially migrated to Asora due to conflict to begin with, so Alex would never force those who were unwilling to fight. The sole exception being their collective imminent annihilation.

Of course, there were exceptions to this rule.

Saiyans for example were a tribe that thrived on battle alongside the Ronso, the tougher the better. The same could be said of the races that once made up the Horde, while many warriors of the former Alliance were also refining their skills for the coming war.

And then there were the Nords and Orsimer of Tamriel, both of which valued honor and battle prowess. The former especially was drifting back to how they used to be before the empire made them soft, as their new High King Balgruuf encouraged ALL Nords to learn the secrets of their nearly lost art, the Thu'um.

Alex couldn't wait to see how they'd all grow once their new system was online!

Once they finished giving their reports regarding the people currently living in Asora, they then moved on to those living the various world they were connected to, DXD, Earthland, Tortus, Rosario Vampire, Spira, Universe 7, and Danmachi.

Throughout these worlds several groups were readying themselves for war, while several others were unable to do so for one reason or another.

Earthland was still in recovery after the actions of Darius and his cronies, so the only support they could offer was the few mages guilds that were already making their own preparations. Spira meanwhile was not filled with nearly so many combatants as it seemed, as most of its citizens were civilians, while their greatest assets for battle no longer existed, the Summoners.

Rosario Vampire was quite possibly the world least suited to helping them since its main population was just regular humans from modern society that would never be able to comprehend a war the likes of which they were repairing for, even after the existence of Youkai was revealed several years prior. However, Issa Shuzen did return with Moka, Kokoa and Akasha, and promised the help of all the vampires he'd been able to subdue in various regions around the world. Though he had yet to bring them all under his control, as Yue commanded him.

Contrasting these worlds though, all of the factions in DXD were busy preparing their forces for battle, which included the different pantheons, the Underworld, Heaven, and the Youkai. The same could be said of Tortus after Alex sent Tracy, Francesca, Altina and Tio back there, as they brought the Demon race, empire, Dragon-Kin, and Beastman races under their control.

Meanwhile in Universe 7 the tournament was winding down with its final day being tomorrow, and the four finalists that were participating were Goku, Frieza, Shia, and Vegeta Jr. Aside from them though, Sephie had already traveled to several entire planets within Universe 7 to secure their aid, which they all readily offered in an attempt to prove themselves.

Unfortunately they couldn't rely on any help from the Gods of Destruction from any of the twelve universes, as they couldn't become involved in conflicts outside their pocket of the Omniverse. Something that Heles in particular seemed upset about when she informed them over the Chatroom.

"Ok, now let's hear about Orario." Alex said, turning his attention to Cara and her entourage from that very city, Loki, Riveria, Ais, Tione and Tiona.

"Well..." Loki began as she organized all the going one of the last few days in her head.

"To start with, there is already work being done on Daedalus Street to make room for the shops and businesses of Asora, along with the portal you wanted to make. But our attention has been on something else over the last few days."

"What's that?" Alex asked, noticing the tension building within her body.

"For some reason, all travel into Orario has stopped. There's been no merchants or travelers of any kind entering the city, which is hurting some of the businesses somewhat, but we've already sent out scouts to see what's wrong. Were just waiting on them to return."

Alex nodded slowing in acknowledgment, even as he began considering sending his own scouts to verify what was going on. Just as he was thinking of doing that though...

"Perhaps I could be of some assistance, my master..." Drawled a sensual voice as a chill filled the room, before eight insectoid appendages began to wrap around his body from behind possessively.

"Mephala." Alex said as he greeted one of the few Daedric Prince's he'd allowed to live, the lady of plots and secrets, Mephala. She was also his chief spymaster thanks to her former divinities.

"I have been stretching my legs into each of these lovely world's around us... Such succulent secrets, ripe for the picking..." She continued with her slow and sensual voice, which Alex tell was inducing arousal in most of the men gathered there, despite her spider legs that were wrapped around him.

"And? What secrets do you have about this incident worth sharing?" Alex asked her.

"Just that a self-proclaimed God of war is marching onto the city, and preventing anyone from entering it as he does so."

"""!!!"""

"Ares!" Loki groaned, more from annoyance than anything at the news.

"Rakia is on the move." Cara added afterwards to Alex, who vaguely recalled her mentioning Rakia before.

"What's the big deal about this Rakia?" Azazel asked curiously.

"They're not THAT big of a deal, just an annoyance more than anything to be honest." Loki started explaining.

"It's an entire nation under the control of a God of war, Ares. He's not the king himself, but the king does answer to him since he's made the entire nation his Familia."

"They've attacked Orario several times already, but they have never even breached the walls surrounding the city."

Cara and Riveria supplied one after the other, all appearing fairly casual about the word of an impending attack. Though Cara WAS slightly worried since it was coming ahead of schedule, and Bell had yet to even arrive in Orario.

"Hmmm... And if I mentioned that this Ares is spreading the most terrible rumors about my master? And is using them to amass the largest army this world has ever seen?" Mephala added with a smirk.

"""!!!"""

"That might actually be a problem..." Loki uttered as her closed eyes parted slightly.

"Not really." Alex said, his hand moving beneath the table as he sent a message to a group that not even any of his wives knew existed, the Nightingales.

Karliah, Tess, and Garona.

All three of them were the best of thieves and assassins after receiving numerous blessings from Alex, and drew their power directly from the Evergloam, the realm of Oblivion that once belonged to Nocturnal.

Aside from himself, Nocturnal, Mephala, and Boethiah, no one even knew they existed. Not even Alex's own wives, the Haulia, or Brynjolf, the current leader of the Undercity that Alex had Hajime make for their thieves and assassins.

Without giving away what he was doing, Alex gave the three of them orders to infiltrate Ares' camp and locate any info regarding his plans and allies. He also told them what to do with the info once they obtained it, while continuing as he said to the rest of those gathered,

"I'm still dealing with the World Government in the home world of Nami and Robin. Can I leave the matter of Ares to you, Sairaorg?"

"Of course!" The other man declared confidently, his voice practically booming through the room.

With that decided they went over the few last things in the meeting, during which Alex also mentioned who he wanted to assist him when he destroyed the World Government. Then began another discussion between him and Sairaorg as they divided up which groups would be a part of which battle, as he also wanted some men ready to fight Ares when he made his attack.

It was only when they were wrapping their meeting up that Alex added as if it had almost slipped his mind, "oh yeah! I also defeated another reincarnator just a bit ago."

"""!!!"""

"You WHAT!?!"

"Yeah. There I was, just hanging out and feasting on Fishman island, when all of a sudden this guy bursts in and attacks me. He completely ruined my meal!" Alex stated irritably, which garnered him various reactions from those around him.

Cara was just gaping at him in disbelief, while others were either shaking their heads wryly or chuckling at the poor guy's expense.

"Did you kill him?" Hajime asked curiously.

"Nah, not yet. He doesn't seem like a bad guy, since as far as I can tell he was trying to protect his homeland like Cara had been. If I can get him to listen then he might be able to join us." Alex answered casually, to which several people nodded slowly in contemplation.

With only a few more things left to discuss, they all soon dispersed as Alex let them go. However the women amongst the group stayed behind, including Loki and Riveria as they joined Alex and his wives into the space-time orb. The latter because she wanted to see more Asoran Magic firsthand, while the former had less than honorable intentions...

"Look at all the tatas!" Loki declared upon seeing Alex's wives for the first time, her expression being perfectly in line with that of a perverted old man as her hands made groping motions in anticipation.

"Bad!" Ais declared in a monotone voice as she chopped her hand down atop Loki's head, but the goddess of mischief didn't even seem to notice since she was too busy ogling all of the women.

It was almost understandable though, as Alex's collection of wives was quite diverse in appearances and backgrounds, with there even being several amongst them that belonged to races completely alien to the goddess. Like the Draenai.

She wasn't the only one though, since Riveria, a proud High Elf of royal blood, even found herself feeling slightly intimidated by the numerous elves she saw wandering around, from both Azeroth and Tamriel. She still couldn't help but to ask Alex,

"Do you REALLY need so many 'wives' though?"

"But of course! Hell, ask any of them and they'll tell you there still isn't enough!" Alex declared, surprising both Loki and Riveria. And while it was true that many of Alex's wives thought there were too many of them, they also knew they needed all of the help they could get with Alex's rapidly developing skills in the bedroom, combined with his newfound divinities.

"My beloved!" A new voice cried out, making all of them turn around right as Alex found his face sandwiched between a pair of breasts.

"Oh my darling! How I've missed you since our departure so long ago! My heart has ached like no pain I have ever endured before, and I counted the seconds even as they turned into minutes, hours and days!" The woman cried emotionally, even as tears of joy welled up in her eyes.

"It's nice to see you too Hancock, and it's only been a few hours." Alex said in a muffled voice from within her breasts, though he didn't make any notable attempts to escape them.

"Greetings Dragon Emperor." Gloriosa said as she appeared from behind Hancock, appearing marginally younger since she accepted the gift of becoming a wereserpent.

She still appeared elderly though.

"We bring you a gift!" Boomed Sandersonia, who stupefied many of the women within the space-time orb since they had never seen a woman so tall before. Well, those that hadn't met Shirahoshi in person yet.

But Alex's attention was on the numerous Kuja that approached him with chests and barrels in their arms, each one practically overflowing with treasure. That wasn't all that caught his attention though, as one woman appeared within the space-time orb as she tried to bashfully cover her exposed breasts. Quite the feat considering she was a literal giant, towering over even Sandersonia and Marigold.

"She's new..." Alex muttered quietly, before a pair of faces that he recognized also appeared with the rest of the Kuja. Tashigi and Hina of the Marines.

"After you left we readied our fleet, and used those new gadgets you put on them to sack Marineford within a matter of hours! Not only did we get so much loot, but we also secured plenty of supplies for Amazon Lily to last us for quite a while, AND we picked up some new recruits!" Marigold helpfully explained.

"Well.... Ok then..." Alex uttered, not really knowing what else to say.

Thanks for reading!
