A Summoning Like No Other
With Finn's command, the Heroic Spirit summoning pool erupted into a dazzling display of energy. Lightning streaked across the void, illuminating the battlefield with radiant arcs. The ground beneath the pool trembled, and ripples of magic surged outward as one figure after another emerged, each surrounded by their own unique aura.
"Senior, Mash Kyrielight reporting for duty!"
"I'm the third-rate servant Andersen—don't expect much and just shove me near some books!"
"El-Melloi II here, though the power of Zhuge Liang resides within me. I trust you understand what that means."
"I am the god Skadi, hailing from the ice and snow. Did you call for me, mortal?"
"A detective, Sherlock Holmes, at your service. If you need brains rather than brawn, you've come to the right place."
"Servant of the balance, Jeanne d'Arc! I am here to bring justice to your battlefield!"
"I am Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Whether I compose victory or merely inspire, your journey will be far more... harmonious."
"Lancer-class Servant, Leonidas of Sparta! Stand behind me and witness unyielding courage!"
"I am Asclepius, a healer and protector. I trust you've summoned me for practical purposes, not spectacle."
"Merlin, the Magician of Flowers, at your command. Don't worry, I'm more useful than I look."
In a flash, ten Heroic Spirits stood ready, their presence altering the very atmosphere of the battlefield.
A Sea of Doubt
Shanks narrowed his eyes as he took in the summoned allies. "Finn, what exactly are these? Some sort of joke? They don't even look like fighters."
Beside him, Bullet snickered. "These weaklings? No killing intent, no aura of power... What a farce!"
Finn smirked. "Oh? You think so?" His gaze swept over his Heroic Spirits. "Care to prove them wrong?"
Mash stepped forward first, her shield gleaming with determination. "Of course, Senior!"
She planted her shield into the ground with a thunderous crash. "My homeland that heals all wounds and shields all hope—manifest! The Ideal City Yet to Come!"
The earth quaked, and towering walls of an otherworldly city materialized, encircling the battlefield. Their majesty left both Marine and pirate forces stunned.
A Game-Changing Advantage
Ripples of energy spread across Finn's forces. One by one, shimmering auras enveloped the Marines:
Increased defense.
Damage reduction.
Boosted attack power.
The soldiers erupted in cheers, invigorated by the magical enhancements.
Andersen followed Mash, flinging his quill into the air. "I'll write you a tale worth remembering! Let's call it... 'Victory Woven in Ink.'"
Golden script flowed from the quill, weaving through the Marine ranks:
Further attack boosts.
Enhanced defense.
Continuous healing over time.
Skadi, Merlin, and Jeanne d'Arc unleashed their Noble Phantasms in unison:
Skadi: "The Gates of Death's Frozen Mirror!"
Merlin: "Utopia Beyond Reach!"Jeanne d'Arc: "Here Stands My Banner of Salvation!"
Each unleashed waves of power that bolstered the Marines further while crippling the enemy.
Chaos on the Battlefield
On Finn's side, soldiers felt invincible. "I've never felt this strong!" one Marine exclaimed, punching the air. "I could take on the world!"
On the pirate side, it was a different story. They stumbled, their strength sapped. "Why are my knees shaking?" a pirate muttered, panic setting in. "Why does it feel like the air is crushing me?"
Shanks' face darkened. "What the hell is happening?" He stared at his faltering forces, then back at Finn, who wore a confident grin.
"You underestimated us," Finn said, spreading his arms. "And now you'll pay for it."
With a flourish, Finn raised his hand. "Marines, forward!"
The Marine forces surged, bolstered by dozens of buffs. The pirates tried to rally, but the debilitating debuffs left them in disarray.
The clash began, and amidst the chaos, Finn's Heroic Spirits demonstrated that strength wasn't just about raw power—it was about strategy, unity, and resilience.
This battle wasn't just for survival. It was a statement.
Finn's forces weren't just prepared. They were unstoppable.
