Chapter 127: Chapter 127 - Mission Complete
Ace D. Portgas, a rather famous pirate and part of the Whitebeard Pirate crew. He was captured by the Marine and locked in Impel Down, one of the greatest prisons in existence because it is near impossible to escape it once you are thrown in.
Or so he thought.
"Hmn… Is your name Ace D. Portgas?" An eye-patched man with white hair and a metal prosthetic left arm stroll up to his prison cell and turn to stare at Ace who had been in better days.
Hajime looked at the target, at the verge of death from hypothermia, severe dehydration and exhaustion.
"Tanya! I found him." Hajime said before he used his strength to pry the bars open before entering the cell and help Ace with a vial of Holy Water to heal his condition.
Ace immediately recovered from his delirious state and looked properly at his savior or savior since Tanya, Kirito and Kazuma also finally arrived although Kazuma is seen with a thick cloak covering him while he shivers like twigs in strong wind.
"Who are you people?" Ace looks at them and can't pinpoint any guesses for his saviors' affiliations.
"Us? Just think of us as problem solvers and we are here by someone's request to bring you out and help you to reunite with either the Straw Hats or Whitebeard Pirate." Tanya approached and replied while holding her rifle aimed down on the ground.
"By the way, guys. We should save the talk for later because we're gonna have company soon." Kirito, who is on the watch out, grinned eagerly as everyone could hear the loud and many footsteps approaching them.
Tanya nods and acknowledges the information before he looks back at Ace and then Hajime. "He didn't look like he could run properly yet. Can you carry him?" Tanya asked Hajime.
Hajime simply nodded and immediately carried Ace who didn't even have the opportunity to protest and placed it on his right shoulder like a potato sack.
"Let's go!" Tanya ordered.
Everyone obeyed immediately. Even Kirito but not before performing some sword arts to collapse the ceiling to block the path of pursuing them.

On the cruise ship, while Tanya and her team are rescuing Ace. They are facing retaliation from the Marine with their fleets arriving not long after the big firework Ainz set off.
"Look fun! Can I play too?" Jack turns and looks at her elder sisters. Without even needing a moment of thought, Sirin and Sakura quickly shake their heads.
"No." They said simultaneously.
It's not that Jack would be in danger. She is more powerful than Sirin and Sakura in terms of effectiveness of using her power partly because she is formerly a Servant. But it is because she is too strong that she might kill too much.
Ray did warn them not to cause too much disruption to the world enough to cause a shift. If Jack accidentally kills all the Admiral and Vice-Admiral, it would indeed be a big problem for the world.
But since when can mere words not from Ray stop her?
When no one is paying attention to her, Jack uses her Presence Concealment and slips off in her merry way to take part in the fun too. Bringing along Ophis to join her as they sank a few ships before returning without anyone noticing and pretending to play at the arcade when Sakura came looking for her.

When the Chat Group members later regroup with the Whitebeard Pirate crew, they send off Ace to Whitebeard and complete their mission.
Everyone received various rewards and their awaited tickets. Kazuma in particular, won the grace of Lady Luck for receiving a Devil Fruit.
"This is ridiculous. How come he gets the best reward?" Frustrated, Tanya grumbles but there's nothing she can do since the distribution is by random chance.
"What? Without my luck, we will be spending hours looking for the target. It's obvious that the System noted my contribution and gave me the Devil Fruit!" Kazuma said and quickly took the Devil Fruit and gorge it down before Kirito could threaten him again.
Upon eating, Kazuma immediately choked like he just ate shit and the taste was incredibly foul. But with the promise of power, he power through and swallowed the mouthful of the Devil Fruit.
Immediately, his skin turns silky smooth and glistening. But that's it.
"Huh? That's it?" Kazuma looks confused and immediately checks his Status screen while Kirito is laughing off at Kazuma.
Instead of frowning, Kazuma smiled after reading the effect of the Devil Fruit and looked at Kirito like he no longer feared him.
"What was the effect?" Ainz were also curious and questioned.
Kazuma of course wouldn't let the opportunity to gloat go just like that and eagerly share.
"I am now immune to all forms of physical attack." Kazuma puffed his chest out and proudly said at Kirito's face which irked the sword maniac so much that he immediately drew his sword to test.
The moment Kirito's blade touched Kazuma's skin, the blade slipped off and left Kazuma untouched and smiling even wider.
"Heh! Long had I lived under your shadow! But today! I, Kazuma, am a changed man and I shall fear you no longer, asshole!" He flipped at Kirito before laughing his ass off.
On the side, Ainz is curious and casts a weak lightning spell at Kazuma and electrocutes him.
"Oh, so he really is immune to physical attack only." Ainz commented very curiously as he prepared another spell but Kirito is faster to coat his blade with Lightning attribute Sword Arts which zap Kirito into a black char.
"Hohoh. Changed man, you say? Fear me no longer was it?" Kirito said menacingly while preparing another Sword Art.
"Wait! I was joking! WaAAAAAAA!" Kazuma was electrocuted till he fainted while Tanya on the side made a satisfying snort.
As for Hajime, Shiroe and Lyoid, they slip off way before rather than joining the trashing of Kazuma.
