The rain was still pouring down, but compared to the previous heavy downpour, the situation now was much better.
At this time, an old guy with short snow-white hair, a long beard, armor, and an eyepatch on his right eye had already walked to the bow terrace of a magic airship docked on the coast. He was silently looking at the dense forest of Tianlang Island that had fallen silent.
Now the entire island is silent, there is no more noise from the previous battle, and the massive troops, the Seven Families of Purgatory, the Vice-President and others he sent out have never come back.
Therefore, at this moment, he already had some bad premonition about what happened on the island, and he just stood there with his arms folded, waiting for confirmation of his bad idea.
"Well?"
Soon, from a high position, he saw that a group of people were walking towards him from the distant dense forest, and from a quick glance between the branches of the trees, he could see that those people did not seem to be him. His subordinates?
"..."
"I really didn't expect that the Seven Families of Purgatory and Brunotte would all be defeated..."
Seeing those people passing by a certain place in a file, this sturdy old man with short hair and long beard sighed sadly.
"Ah!"
"It seems that I should praise Makarov and his disciples frankly..."
"That's enough..."
"In that case, come on, let me play with those brats myself!"
"The time for fun is over..."
The tall old man wearing a black cloak, completely ignoring the raindrops in the sky that wet his hair, whispered to himself until a certain troubled little girl cooperated with Makarov. , with Erza, Mirajane, Gildarts, Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, Elfman, Lucy and several cats, etc., all the current "Fairy Tail" guilds are still there After the people on the island came to this huge magical airship and came to him, the last remaining president of the "Devil's Heart", he showed a ferocious smile.
"Makarov!"
"Now that we're here..."
"Then I'll be a little patient and have fun with you!"
Seeing that the visitors had walked out of the dense forest one by one and arrived at the open beach, looking at the "Fairy Tail" guild's army of twenty magicians, old and young, Hades, the president of "Devil's Heart", suddenly came towards them. An old man headed by the leader said loudly.
"Save it!!"
"Precito, although I don't know why you became like this, but it's all over. You have no chance of winning. Surrender quickly!"
Although Makarov is still not suitable for fighting, and he was completely defeated by the other party before, but seeing so many people in his own guild here, and seeing that the other party only has a pitiful lone person left, there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. At this moment, his courage suddenly exploded, and he proudly shouted and persuaded the 'Second Generation President' standing on the bow terrace of the aerostat.
"surrender?"
"No……"
"I will not surrender. On the contrary, believe me, you will all die here today. Even with the magical protection of Tianlang Island, it will not be able to save you!"
"I will defeat you first, and then completely destroy this island!"
"Devil's Heart" Guild Leader Hades, or it could be said to be "Fairy Tail"'s former second-generation Guild Leader Prechto said this.
Of course, destroying the island or something must happen after catching that Zeref.
"Huh?"
"Old man, do you know that guy?"
"Are you familiar?"
At this time, Natsu suddenly discovered some problems in the conversation between Makarov and the enemy, so he took advantage of the two people's silence and looked at each other, without a chance to officially start the fight, and suddenly asked Makarov.
"..."
However, Makarov had no time to answer him. Instead, he clenched his fists and silently looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar old man standing on the bow of the ship in a daze.
"Natsu..."
"And everyone..."
"Actually, that person is the second generation president of our "Fairy Tail" guild, Precito Gelberg! "
"He disappeared without a trace after passing the position of general president to Chairman Makarov. I never dared to imagine that he actually became the president of "Devil's Heart" and took the name of "Hardy" Si's name. "
At this time, without waiting for Makarov to answer, Gildarts, the oldest and most senior person present, who was completely different from the new generation of "Fairy Tail" such as Natsu, Erza and Gray, smiled bitterly and replaced Makarov. Rolf replied.
"W-what?!"
"He is the second generation president of our "Fairy Tail"? ! "
Natsu was the first to exclaim, his expression was very exaggerated and not artificial at all.
"how come……"
"No way? He is really the second generation president of our guild?!"
"this……"
"Oh my god, doesn't that mean that we, Fairy Tail, have been fighting a civil war? ! "
"Tsk!"
"This is really big news..."
"I see!"
"No wonder that Mester, that is, Mr. Doranbart, was sent to lurk in our guild! You see, the presidents of several powerful Dark Guilds were originally from our "Fairy Tail", and we are We are the most powerful guild in the Justice Guild Alliance. If this happens, the big shots in the Council will definitely not trust us! "
"ah!"
"Lucy, your analysis seems to make sense?"
"It really is……"
Obviously, the fact that Hades, the president of "Devil's Heart", was the second generation president of his guild was really exciting, so that everyone suddenly no longer wanted to fight against each other as before. The excitement of the meeting turned into loud exclaims and discussions.
Then, they quickly analyzed the reason why the Council has always been uneasy about them:
For those who don’t understand, the influence of the "Fairy Tail" guild in the Justice Guild Alliance and the Dark Guild Baram Alliance is really too great. Many guilds have different relations with "Fairy Tail". The unclear relationship, coupled with the appeal of "Fairy Tail" in the Justice Guild Alliance, once these connected people unite, it would be very difficult to overthrow the Magic Council and dominate the entire magical world in an instant. Easy, right?
"snort!"
"Makarov's children, have you said enough?"
"If you've said enough, let your horse come over here!"
Precito obviously heard the absurd topics that everyone just discussed, so he, who did not agree with those things, coldly interrupted everyone's words, and then made a provocation.
Because he is no longer a member of the "Fairy Tail" guild, and he does not agree with that sense of belonging.
"You guy!"
"Stop Natsu, calm down first!"
"What are you doing? Let me go!!!"
"A guy who can't even be beaten by President Makarov, do you want to go up there and die alone?"
"No! I'm much better than the old man now!"
"Shut up!"
"Ha! Natsu, let's let Annie grow up. Isn't this what we just agreed on?"
"ah……"
"Yes, I understand."
Natsu just wanted to be the first to rush forward, but was stopped by Erza and Gildarts, whom he was most afraid of. So he had to extinguish the flames on his hands in frustration and stood aside honestly. .
"oh?"
"President Anne?"
"Who is Annie? It can't be her, right?"
"Hmph!"
"Makarov, you are getting worse and worse. Not only your magic power has declined, but you still chose such a guy to be the guild president?"
Seeing Natsu and others arguing and hearing what they said, Preshito naturally scanned the people in "Fairy Tail" and quickly locked on a certain petite one who also had someone to help hold an umbrella. little girl.
"Eh?"
(???.???)????
"Bad guy, when you talk to people in this tone, do you have any objections to the president who became the president based on his own merit?!"
s(?`ヘ′?;)ゞ
Anne didn't admit that Makarov had passed her the position of president to her, because, it was obviously her job to grab it based on her ability, so how could she get the cynicism from the guy above?
"Yeah?"
"Okay, little girl!"
"Let me ask you, where did you take those people under my command?"
Obviously, Prechto did not believe that people like "Fairy Tail" would kill and eliminate the subordinates in his guild.
Therefore, before the fight started, he hoped to know the whereabouts of those guys. After all, after the fight, he might still need those useless subordinates to help deal with the follow-up matters.
"Here it is!"
(/^▽^)/
"Old man, look, this cage is very big. I even prepared a small cage for you inside. This is VIP-level treatment. After I defeat you, I will lock you in too!"
(? ̄?  ̄?) Hehe!
Anne didn't mind at all and picked up the birdcage in her hand, allowing the other party to see the pitiful pile of wet feathers inside, all staring at him with the goal of asking for help. , but the birds did not dare to make noise or make trouble.
During this period, the 'Seven Families of Purgatory' and a certain vice-president and others who were captured inside were taught several lessons by Anne, such as: soaking in sewage, wrapping them in mud and roasting them slowly on a bonfire, The super roller coaster spins in circles and the 'real caterpillars' are force-fed, etc., threatening to pluck out their feathers more than once and actually pulling out the fur of several of them, turning them into humans and turning them into humans again. After the birds continued to pluck their feathers, they all became more obedient.
"oh?"
"Is it transformation magic?"
"If that's the case, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. That kind of trick won't work on me."
After squinting at Anne and the poor birds in Anne's hands for a while, Precito sneered and shook his head, obviously not taking the little girl's words to heart.
However, now that he knows the whereabouts of his men, he can rest assured.
After a while, he will definitely knock down all the members of the "Fairy Tail" guild in front of him, and then release all his useless subordinates from the cage.
"Really?"
(?ˉ?ˉ?)
"What if someone can catch you?"
?(ˊ??? ??ˋ)
"snort!"
"impossible!"
Although he said that, Precito knew that Makarov would not pass the position of president to a little girl casually, so he was still secretly wary, especially now that the other party had With so many people.
In fact, not to mention anything else, Erza and Gildarts alone were enough to attract his attention.
"Hello!"
"The bad guy up there!"
"You will definitely not be able to defeat Annie. It's her. She almost destroyed your entire guild by herself, and she didn't even use all her strength. You will definitely not be her opponent. I advise you to surrender quickly. good!"
"otherwise……"
At this time, Lucy on the side didn't know why, but she suddenly started to help and shouted at the enemy on the bow.
"snort!"
"Young-haired girl who doesn't know whether to live or die!!"
Seeing that a useless Celestial Mage dared to talk back in front of him, Precito, who was already a little impatient, suddenly stretched out his hand, and let out a round of dark magic condensed like bullets. The magic missile hit Lucy who opened her mouth!
"!!"
"Lucy be careful!"
"ah!!"
"not good!"
Natsu and others on the side exclaimed, but fortunately, Erza was quite reliable. She transformed a shield with a lateral movement, stood in front of Lucy, and shot those black magic bullets for her. They were all resisted, leaving them to make black dents in her raised shield in vain.
"snort!"
"That little girl!"
"Since you are the president, come up here and let me see what you are capable of?"
"or……"
"Can you guys come together?"
Standing on the terrace at the bow of the ship, watching Erza block his attack, Precito didn't say much, just crossed his arms, talked leisurely, and made relevant battle preparations. .
"..."
(???)
"It's weird old man, actually... I've already gone up there!"
(????-)?
Surprisingly, at this time, before anyone could say anything, Annie suddenly made a face at Precito so nonsensically, and then turned into a line of smoke under the astonished gaze of everyone except Lucy, They turned into two cute blue puppet stars.
Now the time has come and they have to change back to their original form.
"!!"
"What?!"
"She is Lucy's star spirit?"
"No way?"
"Where's Anne?!"
"this……"
"what happened?!"
Everyone in the guild around the Gemini star spirit 'Jiminy' who saw Annie instantly transformed into Lucy looked at Lucy in surprise.
"I don't know either!"
"Anyway, that's what Anne asked for!"
With that said, Lucy quickly snatched the birdcage back from 'Jiminy', for fear that the captive inside would escape.
"!!"
"Well?"
"In the back?!"
However, at this time, Precito, who was also slightly surprised, had no time to care about the "Fairy Tail" people below. Instead, he immediately turned his head and looked inside his spaceship.
"laugh!"
(∩▽∩)
"I'm here, you weirdo!"
(?′?`?)
Seeing that Precito had discovered her, Anne was not in a hurry, because at this time, she had sneaked into a close enough distance, so...
“Wonderful idea!!”
(∩??ω??)?--*?
"Aha!!"
???(?)????
After discovering that the other person had been turned into a little bird by herself, Annie cheered, ran over and easily caught the other person in her hand.
"Look!"
|???ω??)???
"Is this fourth-generation president more powerful than his second-generation president?!"
Hahaha??(???*)
Just like that, Annie held the other person in her arms and stood on the bow terrace of the magic aeroboat. She held her waist and raised the bird in her hand, gaping at the people below, completely unaware of when she sneaked into the ship. His companions laughed proudly and showed off.
"!!"
"Annie!"
"careful!!"
However, Makarov saw something was wrong, and directly exclaimed to Anne to remind her.
"Huh?!"
Σ(°△ °|||)︴
"Wow! Why are you getting bigger?!"
(??ω???‖)?
At this time, Annie also discovered that the villain and villain Erwuzi in her hand, who was supposed to be shrunk by using the fairy magic to reshape reality and change the essential structure of the world, suddenly began to swell?
"Hmph! Bad guy, don't even think about succeeding!!"
(??ˇεˇ??)
The opponent's ability is obviously very powerful. He can break through Annie's 'whimsical ideas' with magic power alone. However, just being able to break through is of no use, because as the opponent gets bigger, Annie will also get bigger!
So, amidst the exclamations of the "Fairy Tail" people on the beach below, as Precito continued to grow bigger and turned back into a human form, Annie's body shape also continued to "grow wildly" Get bigger, and stubbornly continue to hold the other party tightly in the palm of your hand.
"Stupid little girl!"
"You wait!"
"I will burst your palms!!"
Precito roared angrily, and at the same time, a black energy wave began to form a black ball around his body, and it just grew bigger and bigger.
"Don't even think about it!!"
o(`⌒′o)
Seeing that the other party refused to give in, how could Annie be willing to give in?
Therefore, she also grew bigger and bigger under the influence of the magic of "Wild Growth". She held the opponent's ball tightly in her hands and refused to let go.
"not good!"
"Everyone, stay away from here!"
"Annie!"
"Let go quickly, his power is too strong, he will really burst you!!!"
Makarov exclaimed and asked everyone to run away from the beach. At the same time, he did not forget to shout a reminder to a little girl in the sky who was also continuing to grow in size.
“I won’t let you go!!”
o(′^`)o
A buzzing, thunderous sound came from the little girl.
At this time, she continued to grow as the enemy's energy sphere grew larger, even if the terrifying black energy had already shot out from her palms, and even if it seemed that a terrible explosion was about to happen.
After all, that was the prisoner she had finally captured. How could she let him go so easily?
"Stupid guy!"
"I will blow you and the entire Tenrou Island into ashes!!!"
Seeing that a little girl could actually master Makarov's giant transformation magic, and reluctantly knowing why she was chosen by Makarov as the fourth generation president, Prechto found that he couldn't get away no matter what. He also roared angrily, and at the same time began to frantically mobilize the demonic energy in his body.
He is also riding a tiger now. After all, if he doesn't continue to do this, the little girl's huge strength will definitely crush him!
"You can blow it up all you want, but people are scared!?"
(??ˇεˇ??)
Anyway, Annie refused to let go. Instead, she continued to hold on tightly, intending to squeeze back all of his energy.
But...
boom! ! !
At this time, both Anne and Precito seemed to have overlooked one thing, that is: Anne was now standing on the deck of the magic aerospace craft. As her size and weight gradually increased, she finally , the spaceship belonging to the "Devil's Heart" could no longer hold on, and was instantly crushed by Anne's enlarged weight and completely shattered.
"Huh?!"
━(?Δ?∥)━ン
At this moment, Annie realized that she seemed to have accidentally stepped on something, and then something even more surprising happened to her...
"!!"
"No!!!"
The stubborn old man she was holding in her hand, who wanted to burst out powerful dark energy to blow up the entire Tianlang Island, unexpectedly for some reason suddenly experienced a sharp decline in magic power, and then the black energy ball gradually dissipated. Come on...
"Strange……"
=????('ヮ'三'ヮ'=????)
At this time, Anne saw that a bad old man in her hand suddenly became extremely weak?
"What happened? It seems like they didn't do anything to him..."
=????(???*)
So, feeling puzzled, she used her huge fingers to easily lift one of the other person's feet and put it in front of her, and began to examine it carefully.
"Is it because someone just stepped on something?"
(°ー°〃)
After observing for a while, Annie seemed to understand something from the magic connection in the other party's body, and then looked down at the ground with some embarrassment.
There, a certain magical spaceship that had become like a toy compared to her current size had been completely crushed by her.
And since the spacecraft was destroyed, something inside the spacecraft, such as the opponent's energy source, must be impossible to save.
Anyway, Anne said that she really didn't mean it. She just wanted to catch the other person and not let go. How could she have thought that she would accidentally destroy the source of the other person's magic power?
