Trixie woke up to the smell of something declious being cooked. She opened her eyes to see the giant from behind hunched over a wok, cooking over a fire as he threw some vegetables in. A quick look around revealed that they were in a small clearing with the moon and stars overhead, incidating that she's been asleep for a while.

The smell once again reached her nose and made her stomach rumbled loudly, a blush appeared on Trixie's cheeks as it did. The giant looked at her and chuckled before putting some vegetables on a plate and held it out to her. While still wary of the giant's intentions, she grabbed the plate with her magic and greedly devoured it in seconds.

'How long has it been since Trixie had real food?' She thought, not caring at all on how she might have looked in the giant's eyes. 'Months? In fact how long has it been since Trixie was caught by those dogs?'

A cough from the giant caught her attention and Trixie blinked when she saw him holding up what appears to be a frozen symbol. No not just a symbol, a question mark! He gestured to it before pointing at her and Trixie quickly understood what he wanted.

"My name is The Great and er-," She cut herself off, remembering her promise and if there was some mysterious force that was watching her, Trixie did not want to anger it. "My name is Trixie," The blue mare saw confusion on his face before trying once more.

This time, he said it himself. <"Trixy?"> She shook her head before trying again, making a show of emphasing on the way her mouth moved. It was lucky that her career, well former career, required her to know at least more than one language for audiences that spoke other languages. This wasn't the first time she had to communicate with someone that didn't speak Equish but fortunately it seemed that whatever language the giant spoke, it seemed similar enough to Equestian for certain sounds to be the same.

<"Trixie?>"

Said pony was surprised at how fast he learnt how to say her name although it was rather choppy as if he couldn't make certain sounds. Still he managed to do so, making Trixie smile and nod her head. She then pointed at the question mark and him, wanting to know the name of her savior.


Kuzan was very grateful for the lessons about First Contact that his teachers taught him. There was always new nations that the World Goverment were encountering and thus all Marine officers above rank of vice-admiral had to learn how to deal with a First Contact situation peacefully. It was commonly assumed that all Marines soldiers spoke the same language but that only applied to the majority.

Marines recruited from more isolated islands or nations often spoke their own language and had to be taught English as a required course. While encountering people that spoke other languages were rare nowadays, it still happened enough times for it to be a course for recruits to learn on how to deal with situations when both parties couldn't understand each other. Speaking through actions was fairly simple and easy enough for anyone to understand.

It was a stroke of good luck that Kuzan aced that course and still remembered on what to do meaning show that you mean absolutely no harm and present them with something they might like. In this case, food and treatment for the unicorn but she seemed to have ignored the latter for the former. The former admiral was glad that he had stocked up on supplies before ending up here somehow.

He saw the unicorn, Trixie he mentally reminded himself, pointed to his question mark and then to himself, a gesture that was easy to understand.

"My name is Kuzan. Kuzan." He emphased his mouth movement like she did and was impressed that she managed to sound out his name rather well with the exception of certain sounds. It appeared that whatever she spoke was smiliar to English meaning that the language barrier could be gone in weeks if they kept this up on a daily basis. Even faster considering that Kuzan was hailed as a prodigy during his time as a recruit.

Kuzan pointed to the wok then to Trixie and got a very eager nod in return. She levitated the plate back to him, encased in a magenta colored aura and while most people would do a double take at something like this, he have seen much weirder than this. While her abilities could be because of a devil fruit, something told him that it wasn't.

Flap. Flap. Flap.

He frowned as his sharp hearing caught the sounds of several things heading their way. Judging from the sounds, whoever was heading their way would be here in a few minutes. Just enough time to make sure Trixie wasn't in harm's way.

Kuzan stood up, went over to Trixie and picked her up and placed her in the branch of a tree. He ignored her look of surprise and made sure that she was comfortable.

<"Well well well what do we have here?">

Kuzan turned toward the voice and saw what appeared to be three dragons and rather pathetic looking dragons at that. Really one looked too fat to even hover, another looked like it was on a bad diet, and the last one was attempting to look bigger. The effect was kind of useless when the person you were trying to intimidate was much bigger than you.

<"A pony and something hanging out in our woods,"> The leader took a step forward while Kuzan held up hands up, palms facing out. He really didn't want to get into a fight, he retired to get away from all that. <"I just had a bad night so I'm going to blow some steam off by having some fun with you two.">


Trixie was scared and she wasn't afirend to admit it outloud. Her reason for her fear was three teenage dragons, each one ready to inflict pain to her and Kuzan. While he was able to handle those dogs easily, dragons were a whole another level even if they were just teenage dragons.

"We need to run!" She tried to reach out to poke Kuzan and almost fell off for her troubles. "Please! You can't beat them! They're dragons!"

Kuzan ignored her and instead stepped forward, making the dragons laugh despite the sheer height difference between them.

"Looks like the thing is going to fight us!" The red one said, sharp teeth fully visible in a grin. "Alright then bring it on!" He flew forward, his powerful wings allowed him to cross the distance between him and Kuzan in seconds. Trixie wanted to look away but couldn't as the red dragon raised his claws and brought them down on Kuzan.

Who caught both of them effortlessly.

Trixie's jaw dropped open and her eyes were wide as they could be while the red dragon had an expression of complete surprise, both claws stuck in Kuzan's grip.

"What the AHHHH!" He screamed as his claws froze before Kuzan let him go, the ice extending up to his elbows. Trixie looked at Kuzan and saw that mist seemed to be coming off of him.

"Garble!"

"We'll help you!"

The two other dragons flew to their leader's aid but-

"<Ice Block: Partisan.>"

Several spears made of ice impaled themselves into their wings, quickly grounding them with cries of pain. They landed right near Garble and each of them looked up to Kuzan with fear in their eyes. Now a heavy mist was coming from him as ice slowly appeared on parts of his body. To the dragons, it was absolutely terrifingly but to Trixie, it was shocking.

Dragons were well known for their resistance to extreme temperatures but it seemed that the ice Kuzan can make was cold enough to affect even them.

Garble regained his courage and attempted one more attack. "Eat this you freak!" He puffed up his chest, ready to unleash his fire and his two friends did the same. Trixie felt fear and dread creep up in her heart once more. If Kuzan controlled ice then it would be no match against the flames of one dragon, let along three!

"<Ice Age.>"

A wave of cold washed over Trixie as the temperature dropped low enough for her to see her breath. The blue mare looked around and whispered, "Incredible."

Everything around them was frozen, so much that she couldn't even see where the ice ended. Trees, grass, bushes, everything besides branch she was on had frozen over in a second.

Not even the dragons were spared as they were frozen solid, stuck in their poses on the ground as they prepared to unleash their flames while Kuzan stood over them. He turned away from them and brought her down from the branch, hooves meeting the cold ground, making Trixie shiver. He ignored her and gather his supplies in his bag before throwing it over his shoulder.

"Go." Trixie nodded her head and allowed herself to be picked up once more. What he did next surprised her just as much as his 'fight' with the dragons. Trixie was pressed against into Kuzan's arms as the world around her became a blur, the gasp of surprise from her gone into the rushing wind. Looking up, she saw that Kuzan didn't even look troubled by the speed they were going at.

'Strong enough to stop a dragon's attack, ice cold enough to freeze three of them and acres of forest, and now he can move at speeds faster than even most pegasus!' The unicorn slowly eased into Kuzan's arms, eyes closing as she leaned into him. 'Just how powerful are you?'

In the weeks ahead, she would get her answer and not in a way that anyone could have thought possible.

Author's Note:

Well that was fun! I hope you all enjoyed it and if you have any questions, leave them in the comments for me to answer.

I got a question; why don't you have an editor yet?

I'M STILL LOOKING OKAY! Speaking of which, any editors out there want to help me out? I'll be very grateful for it. I'll also be trying to make my chapters longer in the coming days ahead.

And before anyone who lack One Piece knowledge wondered how Kuzan so effortlessly curb-stomped Garble and friends, keep in mind its three teenage dragons vs a highly trained and very experienced former admiral. In OP, an admiral is one of the most powerful characters in the world. The outcome was already rather obvious.
