Starting in One Piece, I'll Build the Strongest Fairy Tail!

"Let's settle this!"

"Yeah!!"

Gildarts, Laxus, Eden, and Makarov stood together, seemingly about to fight to decide who would go to Amazon Lily to find their comrades.

As a result, everyone missed the next three images.

Fortunately, the attentive Mirajane had recorded them in advance.

"You all need to stop this at once!"

And just as the battle between Eden and the others was heating up, Mirajane personally stepped in to stop them...

After giving each of them a loving iron fist to the head, everyone finally quieted down.

"So painful."

In an instant, Eden, Laxus, Gildarts, and Master Makarov were all seen clutching their red, swollen foreheads, squatting silently in a corner to watch the remaining three images Mirajane had recorded.

"So, Mirajane is actually the one person in our guild you should never provoke, am I right?" Nami asked Lucy, who was beside her.

"Yes." Lucy nodded in deep agreement.

Meanwhile, under Mirajane's recording magic, the remaining three images appeared before Eden and the others.

The first image was a cream cake.

Hmm, no need to say it. One look and you knew it was Big Mom's Totto Land.

The second image was an ancient Roman colosseum.

"Is it Dressrosa?" Eden stared at the colosseum, thinking for a long time, seemingly a bit unsure.

The last image was a samurai sword.

"Wano Country." Eden didn't hesitate at all, immediately identifying the island represented by the final image.

"So, the remaining three comrades are on Whole Cake Island, Dressrosa, and in Wano Country?"

"Combined with the previous three comrades, their locations are Fish-Man Island, Amazon Lily, and Zou, which is Zunesha."

"Although it's unclear which of our missing comrades corresponds to which island."

"But as long as we search one by one, we'll eventually find all of them," Eden thought to himself.

"In short, Lisanna, Elfman, Freed, Bickslow, Evergreen, and Lily, the six of them are in these places."

"Although we haven't found them yet..."

"But according to First Master Mavis's magic, our comrades are all currently safe," As Eden was pondering, Mirajane summarized.

Meanwhile.

Currently imprisoned on Whole Cake Island, scheduled to marry one of the Four Emperors, Charlotte Linlin, next April and have children, thus reaching the pinnacle of his life, Freed expressed: "First Master, is your magic really accurate?! Can my current situation truly be considered safe?"

To this, the First Master's magic replied: "You're about to get married, of course it's safe! Just look at how healthy and powerful your partner is!"

"And look at the guard at your door (referring to Katakuri), how strong is he? Among our six missing comrades, you are the safest~"

Freed: "Just great."

At this moment, even if Freed had a thousand words in his heart, they all boiled down to one sentence: "Laxus, hurry up and save me."

Cough, cough...

"So, let's split up and take action!"

"We'll follow Fairy Tail's old rules and set out in our respective teams."

Hearing this, Makarov stood on a protruding rock on Tenrou Island, faced all the Fairy Tail mages present, and announced loudly.

"But our teams have been completely broken up."

"Erza is currently with Gajeel, Levy, and Cana, forming an undercover Marine squad."

"In my opinion, I don't think we should have Erza leave the Marines, where she has a bright future, just to team up with Natsu and the others again."

"Having Erza in a high-ranking position within the Marines will make it easier for us to operate in this world." At this point, after hearing Makarov's words, Eden raised an objection.

"I understand what you mean."

"So from now on, I will reorganize the teams for you."

Makarov naturally knew what Eden meant.

In fact, during his days on Whitebeard's ship, Makarov hadn't been idle. He had been observing this world from various angles.

First, the World Government and the Marines in this world are roughly equivalent to the Magic Council in their world.

Pirate crews are equivalent to Dark Guilds.

Hmm, their Fairy Tail guild has finally been defined as a Dark Guild, just as the 'Council' wished.

Cough, cough...

Of course, this definition isn't entirely accurate.

Because this world, compared to Fairy Tail's Earth Land, is actually more like Edolas.

A single, absolute power rules the entire world.

Within this world, no voice daring to defy that power is permitted.

All such voices, whether beneficial or harmful, are labeled as rebellious.

So, in Makarov's view, if Fairy Tail had someone in a high position within the Magic Council (the World Government and the Marines), it would indeed be a good thing.

Especially now, when most of their guild members have been branded as wanted by the government, putting them in direct opposition.

"So..."

"Erza, Gajeel, Levy, and Cana, the four of you will continue to stay within the Marines and the Government, and proceed with your original plan." Thinking this, Makarov first confirmed the mission for Erza's group.

"Understood."

"I am currently a Marine Headquarters Admiral Candidate. I'm probably not far from becoming an Admiral or Fleet Admiral," Erza said with her arms crossed.

"I'm already a Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral, ghe-he~" Gajeel said excitedly, having benefited from Erza's success.

Incidentally, Levy and Cana are now Commodores.

"Next, are the teams that will go out to find the other comrades." Then, Makarov began to name the members.

Instantly, all the Fairy Tail members present prepared to be called.

"First is Natsu." Makarov said, looking at the eager Natsu standing in the crowd.

Hmm, Makarov had no other reason for sending Natsu out to sea to find their comrades, other than not wanting that guy to stay on Tenrou Island and wreck the place.

With Natsu's destructive power, the island would be destroyed in less than a year.

"Hehe!"

"Leave finding our comrades to me!"

"My nose is the most sensitive in the world," Natsu said eagerly, rubbing his prized nose as he spoke.

Robin could attest to this; not even CP9 could escape Natsu's olfactory reconnaissance.

"Next is Gray," Makarov announced the second name.

"Of course." To celebrate the moment, Gray performed a three-second striptease for everyone.

To this, a speechless Eden remarked, "Gray, you should just go to Blue Pegasus and be a male model, performing a 'striptease'! I think that's the profession you were meant for, more so than being a mage."

No exaggeration, if Gray took up pole dancing, he would definitely become an ace.

"Next are Lucy, Happy, Eden, Nami, Robin, Wendy, and Carla."

"That is all."

Just as Eden was making his sarcastic comment...

Makarov had already rattled off the names of all the members he had chosen for the team that would be dispatched to search for the still-missing Fairy Tail members across the world.

"Wait, what's going on? What did I miss?" Eden stared at Makarov, dumbfounded.

"Why am I included?"

"Speaking of which, going with Eden and his group will be dangerous no matter how you look at it, right?" Lucy said with a massive headache.

"Even I have to go?" Wendy was also a bit dazed.

"Isn't this just a simple swap between me and Erza?" Eden complained about the list.

"By the way, if we're the ones going to find our missing comrades, what are Laxus and Mirajane going to do!?" Eden then looked at Makarov and continued to ask.

"Of course... special training." Makarov's expression was incredibly serious.

Who knows what that guy Precht said to Makarov?!

It made the current Makarov's expression, mood, and even his words become incredibly heavy.

"After the battle on Tenrou Island, I understood one thing!"

"As the enemies targeting our Fairy Tail guild grow stronger and stronger, we increasingly feel that we are not strong enough."

"Even if your strength, Eden and Laxus, has reached a level comparable to Warrod-senpai! It's still not enough, not nearly enough..."

"We need to become stronger, stronger than any enemy."

Makarov's words were powerful and resonant, his gaze carrying a force that seemed to shine into the heart of every Fairy Tail member present, calming everyone down from the joy of their reunion.

Hmm, everyone present thought of the black dragon that attacked Tenrou Island. Facing the threat of Acnologia, even if the current 'Heavenly King' level Eden and Laxus were to go back in time...

Their fate would likely not change at all! In the eyes of that monster Acnologia, they would have merely gone from being ants to slightly larger ants, and that's all.

"So I'll leave Elfman and Lisanna to you, Eden. I will stay on Tenrou Island for special training." Mirajane made her decision after long and careful consideration.

Rather than wasting time wandering aimlessly in this world with its chaotic magnetic fields, where you can't tell north from south without a Log Pose and can't set sail without a navigator...

She would rather stay on Tenrou Island and train hard. She wanted to become a Mirajane who truly possessed the strength to protect her younger brother and sister.

"I'm leaving the Thunder Legion to you too, Eden."

"I'm going to learn the power called 'Awakening' from Issho and Aramaki."

Laxus also decided to stay on the island. He wanted to become stronger, to become the strongest one, not to make Fairy Tail superior to others, but so that no one in this world would ever dare to bully his beloved Fairy Tail again.

In addition, Laxus planned to improve his stamina and endurance. He had heard from Aramaki and Issho...

...that if those two monsters went all out, they could fight for about a week without eating or drinking. That was just too absurd, no matter how you looked at it!

If he could do that too? As Laxus thought this, his eyes flickered with electricity.

"Brother Eden, I'm sorry."

"I want to learn the magic called the Arc of the Great Tree."

"So I'm really sorry, I can't travel with you." It was unknown what Precht had convinced Aramaki of, but he seemed to have already taken the old Precht, who was only a lingering soul, as his master.

"As for me, I want to learn things called Gravity Magic and Celestial Magic." Issho also chose to stay. He wanted to see just what this magic Precht spoke of was.

"By the way, do you two even have magic power in your bodies?!" Eden asked suspiciously.

Without magic power, one cannot use magic.

"Magic power?"

"Originally, I couldn't feel it. But ever since I received the Fairy Tail guild mark, my Observation Haki can indeed capture a strange energy from the air. That is probably what you call magic power, right?" Issho frowned deeply. From the moment he received the Fairy Tail mark, his world had completely changed, as if a new horizon had opened up.

Hmm, it's confirmed! The Fairy Tail guild mark is the guild's most powerful magic.

"Boy, you speak such nonsense."

"Even if they have no magic power in their bodies?! I can forcibly change the flow of energy within them, making them spontaneously generate magic power!"

"So what if they can't use magic?! With my abilities, I can forcibly teach them how to use it."

"Who do you think I am? I am the Black Wizard who has mastered all the magic in the Book of Zeref, the one closest to the abyss of magic in the entire world." Precht looked at Eden with a disdainful gaze, his voice filled with pride and ridicule for everyone. "To be honest, in my opinion, it's not just those two. You, Laxus, Gildarts, and even that brat Makarov, are all too crude in your use of magic! It's a complete waste of the powerful magic and potential within you."

"Oh my!"

"The mage closest to the abyss of magic in the world must be living a great life, right?"

"How come you're just a lingering soul? I wonder who defeated you?" Hearing this, Eden taunted old Precht with a cheeky grin on his face.

"..."

After hearing Eden's words, Precht slowly raised his head, his expression filled with helplessness and despair, his voice trembling as he said, "By those three damned cats from your guild."

Old Precht had never imagined that the reason for his defeat would be three cats finding his airship's power room and piercing his heart.

"Precht, you're not allowed to argue with your guildmates." Just then, the angelic Mavis came up to Precht, pounding on his thigh and ordering him sternly.

"Eh, okay, okay."

"Whatever you say is right, Mavis." Precht smiled and nodded repeatedly.

As long as Mavis said it, it was correct.

"Anyway, listen, Eden. If you encounter pawns... like Issho and Aramaki, who have powerful energy in their bodies and are exceptionally talented (capable of reaching the top tier of this world)..."

"I mean... comrades, as you call them, try to recruit them into the guild! Under my guidance, they can become a great force that can help us fight against our true enemies," Precht pulled Eden aside and instructed him in a low voice.

"How strong can they become? Strong enough to defeat you?" Eden asked, looking at Precht.

"A joke."

"Even if all of you came at me together, you couldn't defeat me." Precht sneered. Possessing the Devil's Heart, a replica of the infinite magic source Fairy Heart, he could crush everyone present.

"But with my guidance, after a few years of proper training and using some special methods, surpassing that old waste Warrod would be a piece of cake."

"If we can find a dozen, or even two dozen, fighters like them, we'll have a fighting chance against those guys."

Then, Precht added, "Of course, if you want to deal with Acnologia, or truly powerful beings, you're just daydreaming."

"Don't think that just because you've reached the 'Heavenly King' level, you can rest easy and consider yourselves strong."

"Perhaps your perspective is too narrow. The 'Heavenly King' level is just the starting point of the path of magic, not the end," Precht said this, feigning profoundness. Or perhaps he had truly seen what the real monsters of Earth Land were like.

Beings that could destroy a world, that could directly annihilate a planet.

"If that's the case, then the 'Heavenly King' level is the upper limit of this world," Eden thought with a sense of helplessness.

However, using his knowledge of this world, he could help Mirajane, Erza, and Makarov find suitable Devil Fruits and raise them all to the 'Heavenly King' level in a short amount of time.

But relying on just that still seemed far from enough to defeat that black dragon.

So, it's decided.

At this moment, Eden had made up his mind. He muttered to himself, "I will start building the strongest Fairy Tail guild from the world of One Piece."

Hmm, since Eden could travel to the world of Fairy Tail and also to the world of One Piece.

Then the path was clear: travel to more worlds, find more comrades, and then go back and kill that calamitous, magic-immune black dragon.

Of course, the immediate priority was to find their comrades scattered across the world.

But for now?!

"Enough with the heavy topics!"

"My brats, let the feast begin!" Makarov announced loudly with his hands on his hips.

"YEAH!!"

As Makarov's voice fell, all the Fairy Tail members present erupted in celebration.
