The magic in Fairy Tail is often more flashy and physically powerful compared to Harry Potter's magic. So Harry might face the challenge of his spells being less effective against the Fairy Tail opponents. Also, he may not understand the social and political dynamics of the Fairy Tail world. If Ace is in trouble because of some internal Fairy Tail conflict, Harry might accidentally make things worse by not knowing who the real enemies are.
One challenge could be the unfamiliarity with the Fairy Tail world. Different rules of magic and different types of magical creatures might be new to Harry. Another is that the Fairy Tail characters themselves might be very powerful and have their own unique abilities that Harry has to figure out how to counter.
Well, in such a fanfic, perhaps Harry uses his magic skills like the Patronus charm to ward off any danger threatening Ace. Maybe he apparates into the scene just in time to pull Ace out of harm's way.
One possible challenge could be the opposition from dark wizards. They might try to stop Albus from saving Harry because Harry is a key figure against the dark forces.
Yes, there might be. The 'Harry Potter' and 'One Piece' (where Marineford is from) fanfic communities are quite large and creative. There could be a crossover where Harry Potter somehow saves Ace at Marineford. You can check fanfic platforms like Archive of Our Own or FanFiction.net to see if such a story exists.
Well, perhaps in this fanfic, Ace is on a mission in a strange new world that combines elements of both One Piece and Harry Potter. He gets into a tight spot when facing some magical creatures that are beyond his normal combat abilities. Harry Potter, who is familiar with this magical world, swoops in. He casts spells to disable the creatures and rescues Ace. After that, they might team up to explore this new and dangerous world together for a while.
One challenge could be betrayal. There might be some so - called allies who are secretly working for Voldemort. Another is the lack of resources. If he is constantly on the run, he may not have access to enough food, water or magical supplies. And he has to be constantly vigilant against dark magic spells that Voldemort might send his way.
Well, Harry Potter might be magically transported to the 'One Piece' world just in time to save Ace. He could use his Patronus charm to fend off the attackers at Marineford. Since his Patronus is a powerful form of positive magic, it could be strong enough to hold off the Marines for a while. He might also use his knowledge of potions to heal Ace if he's already injured. And perhaps he forms an alliance with Luffy and the Straw Hats to help them get out of the dangerous situation at Marineford.
A powerful magical creature that has a grudge against both Harry Potter and Ace. It might see Ace as an intruder in its territory in the Harry Potter universe and Harry as someone who is interfering. So it tries to stop Harry from saving Ace and becomes the main antagonist.
Well, I've read a fanfic called 'Potter in Fairy Tail Land'. In this one, Harry Potter somehow gets transported to the Fairy Tail universe. It's really interesting to see how he adapts to the new magic rules and makes friends with the Fairy Tail guild members. There's also 'Fairy Tail's Hogwarts Visit' where members of Fairy Tail visit Hogwarts, leading to some really funny and magical encounters.
The Dementors are a huge challenge. Their presence alone can drain his happiness and will to escape. He has to find a way to avoid them or protect himself from their effects.
One challenge could be controlling the assassin's violent tendencies. Since the person is being groomed to be an assassin, it's likely they have a natural inclination towards violence, and Harry has to find a way to temper that while also teaching self - defense.
