"Ah… ah… ah…"
"The situation is completely different from the intel!"
"Why are all the main members of Fairy Tail back?!"
"I've never heard of anything like this before!"
"Forget it! Whoever wants it can take it!"
"Go seize the Golden Clock Tower! I don't care!"
"Gold is fine, but life is more important!"
"Retreat quickly, everyone!"
"Monsters… the people of Fairy Tail are monsters!"
"We can't win! Absolutely can't win!"
The Hundred Regiments of the Pirate Alliance Fleet, which had come aggressively, were now scattering in chaos. Trees fall, monkeys flee—everyone fled in disorder as disaster approached. The terrifying power of Devil Mirajan had already shaken them to their core. The sudden return of Erza and the rest of Fairy Tail was the final straw.
Faced with overwhelming power, the weaker pirates were paralyzed with fear. Seeing their enemies flee for their lives, Nami, Vivi, and the others couldn't help but feel anxious. Nearly a hundred pirate ships had already been sunk, but with some pirate groups fielding multiple ships, the total number exceeded two hundred. Against such a massive fleet, even Fairy Tail was thinly spread. Only ten of them could fight at once, unable to cover everything.
Just as the Fairy Tail girls were nervously debating what to do next, a sudden, unnatural cold swept across the sea.
Ka-ka-ka!
The water froze visibly, spreading outward in a wave. Every pirate ship attempting to escape came to a halt, trapped in thick ice.
"Damn it!"
"What's happening?!"
"Why is the sea frozen all of a sudden?"
"Is a Marine Admiral here?!"
"Admiral Aokiji?! Why is that guy here?!"
The pirates shouted in panic, but on the Fairy Tail side, the girls were equally stunned.
"Is that Aokiji again? Didn't he learn his lesson?" Nami murmured.
"No! That's… ice modeling magic! This is the Great Ice Mage!" Erza said firmly.
"The Great Ice Mage?" Vivi blinked. She knew no one in the guild who wielded ice magic.
"W-What? The president? He's back!" Wendy gasped.
Following her gaze, everyone saw a colossal figure advancing from the southeast.
"Oh… Titan! The president has become a Titan!" Nami exclaimed.
"And a super Titan! Several times bigger than the Titans in Little Garden!" Vivi added in awe.
Boom… boom… boom…
Heavy footsteps shook the sea. Each step made the Titan grow larger, more imposing. After ten strides, Sugisawa Yuuto had transformed into a towering 100-meter Titan, looking down from the sky like a god.
"A… giant… titan?"
"W-what… why is there a titan?"
"Such a gigantic titan… I've never… never seen anything like it!"
"No! It's not just a titan… this is…!"
"The Five Emperors… he's the Fifth Emperor!"
"FIVE EMPEROR SUGISAWA YUUTO… the president of Fairy Tail!"
The remaining pirates, frozen in terror, couldn't even form complete sentences as they gazed up at the godlike figure.
Sugisawa Yuuto wasted no words. With a mere sweep of his hand, dozens of pirate ships exploded in midair. A single slap crushed pirate crews and vessels alike. To the 100-meter Titan, even massive warships were toys. Within minutes, none of the remaining two hundred pirate ships escaped. The Hundred Regiments of the Monster-Slaying Pirate Alliance were utterly annihilated. This battle would be remembered in history.
"President!"
"President, you're finally back!"
"Welcome back, President!"
Nami, Vivi, Wendy, and the others rushed forward, clinging to him in relief and excitement.
"Wow ha ha ha ha!" The news king Morgans descended, wings flapping.
"This is the ultimate battlefield! President Sugisawa Yuuto and the Fairy Tail ladies… the world will tremble at your power again!"
"Birdman, why are you here again?" Nami muttered, remembering his role in covering the Enies Lobby incident.
"In this incident, Morgans provided crucial intel!" Erza explained.
"Ah… could it be the president planned this with Erza already in mind?" Vivi and Wendy asked in surprise.
Nami blinked. "I thought it was hypothetical… but it's real!"
Morgans laughed, eyes sparkling. "After this, no one will ever underestimate Fairy Tail. The seas will be calmer than ever… all thanks to everyone's efforts!"
"Go!" Sugisawa Yuuto waved. "And send a message to the so-called underground world…"
"Yes! I'll deliver it!" Morgans flapped away into the sky.
Sugisawa Yuuto approached Mirajan. "Mira, are you hurt?"
"No!" she shook her head. "It's not me… the guild… the guild is hurt."
The Fairy Tail girls rushed back inside to see the chaos. Memories and mementos were trampled.
"President, it's all my fault! Even with me here, the guild was invaded!" Mirajan admitted.
"I was also at fault! I failed to stop them!" Perona added.
Sugisawa Yuuto placed his large hand on their heads, comforting them. "Don't worry. You've done more than enough."
"The president is right! Broken guilds can be repaired!" Nami said.
At that moment, a faint voice echoed. "Leave the guild repairs to me."
The girls turned to see a figure on the deck.
"You are…?" Nami and Vivi asked in unison.
"Urrutia," Erza recognized.
"Miss Urrutia?!" Wendy exclaimed. "Is she the partner the president recruited in South Blue?"
Urrutia nodded. "Please, let me handle the guild restoration."
"No, Miss Urrutia, you can't do this alone—" Vivi started.
"Leave it to me," Sugisawa Yuuto interrupted with a smile.
Urrutia, master of Arc Magic: Time, had previously restored the fallen Sirius Tree on Sirius Island. She was the perfect person for this task.
"Then please, Miss Urrutia!" Erza nodded approvingly.
"With her power, it will be easy," Wendy said.
Urrutia activated her magic. "Lost Magic—The Arc of Time, activate!"
Fragments of the ruined guild lifted into the air, reconstructing themselves in moments. The guild was restored as if nothing had happened.
"Thank you, Urrutia!" Mirajan exclaimed.
"Miss Urrutia is amazing!" Wendy cheered.
Nami and Vivi blinked, stunned. "Wait… what just happened? How did the guild fix itself?"
"It's the power of time," Urrutia confirmed.
Kalifa shuddered. Fairy Tail's lineup keeps getting scarier: Sugisawa Yuuto, Erza, Devil Mirajan, Perona, and now a time manipulator.
Suddenly, she realized the child nearby, Bonney, was also a formidable user.
"No, the one who froze the sea was my mother!" Bonney said.
"Mother?!" The girls gasped.
Before they could react further, Juvia appeared, salvaging sunken treasures and captured pirates from the battle.
"President, the treasures and bounties are secured!" she reported.
Sugisawa Yuuto smiled, patting her head. "Well done."
With the battlefield cleared, the Fairy Tail girls, joined by Erza, Perona, Kalifa, Urrutia, Wendy, and Bonney, began tidying up the ocean and the guild, laughter and energy returning to the guild hall.
But far to the southwest, a massive mammoth ship appeared on the horizon—the Beasts Pirates, long overdue.
"Jack… something's wrong!"
"The combined pirate army is destroyed!"
"The main force of Fairy Tail is here!"
"And the Fifth Emperor… President Sugisawa Yuuto is here too!"
Panic spread among the Beasts Pirates. Runti sneered. "Fleeing now will ruin our reputation!"
Jack the Drough, first Iron King of the Pirate World, slammed his fist. The mammoth ship surged forward with the power of the outer wheels…
Suddenly, a towering figure landed on the deck, radiating immense coercion.
"That is…!"
"The Marine… Hero of Justice…"
"Garp!!!"
Chi-chi!
Thick black and red lightning crackled across the sky as Garp, Marine Legendary Hero, pumped his fists.
Boom! Rumble!
