Fighting through pirates with Fairy Tail

Chapter 29: Successfully joined the Fairy Tail guild!

"You brats, all of you better behave yourselves!"

"Didn't you see? You all scared the newcomers half to death!!"

Before Ido could respond to the group of Fairy Tail guild members with such a stark contrast in personality, a hoarse, deep, and gruff voice rang out from above them.

"giant?"

When Ide looked up, he was shocked to find that a giant, whose head almost touched the guild ceiling and whose height was over twenty meters, had appeared in the guild at some point.

At this moment, the giant was standing deep inside the guild, angrily rebuking the guild members who were smoking, drinking, and behaving improperly.

"Understood, President."

Under the giant's reprimand, the group of unruly guild members returned to their seats and became unusually well-behaved.

"President?"

"So that's how it is. This giant is the senior Makarov that Uru mentioned?"

"I never expected that the guild master of Fairy Tail would be a giant."

Ido stood in front of the Fairy Tail guild gate, gazing at the giant in the distance, and muttered to himself.

"Buzz!"

However, the very next second that Id was pondering this, the enormous figure that was covering the guild's ceiling suddenly began to shrink at a visible speed.

He shrunk from a robust giant over twenty meters tall to a tiny old man less than a meter tall, then performed a difficult 360-degree spin in mid-air before finally landing in front of Id, Uru, and Eileen, smiling and greeting them: "Hello, I am Makarov, the guild leader of this guild. Please take care of me in the future."

"what?"

Looking at the little old man in front of him, Id found it hard to reconcile this little old man with the majestic giant he had seen before.

After a brief silence, Ido looked at the strikingly different, gray-haired old man before him and could only sigh, "Magic, it's truly amazing! Its myriad abilities are even more diverse than those of Devil Fruits."

"Senior Makarov, I've long admired your name!"

"I am Uru Mirkovich from the Kingdom of Islam, this is my husband Id, and this is my best friend Irene."

"We have traveled a long way to Fairy Tail guild not only to join your guild, but also to seek your assistance."

After Makarov arrived, Uru introduced herself and told him why they had traveled all the way from the Kingdom of Islam to get here.

"Of course, of course."

"Let's join a guild first."

With a wicked grin, Makarov took out the Fairy Tail seal he had prepared in advance and, with lightning speed, branded the Fairy Tail guild's mark onto the backs of Ur, Ido, and Irene's hands.

"Huh?"

"Is it that simple?"

"Isn't there any assessment before joining a guild?"

Looking at the golden seal on the back of his hand, which resembled a dancing dragon, a soaring phoenix, or the tail of a mysterious fairy, Ide asked Old Ma.

"You guys aren't bad people, right?"

Makarov raised his head, looked at Id with his eyes that seemed to see into people's hearts, and asked softly.

"Of course not."

Id shook his head.

"Then there's no problem~"

"From today onwards, we are family members living in one big family."

As Makarov spoke, he revealed a kind, unpretentious smile that was incredibly reassuring to anyone who saw it.

"This old man... is serious."

Ido was stunned. Both his Observation Haki and his inner voice told him that the old man in front of him was a pure and good person, like a father, a patriarch who treated the entire guild equally.

"Id, now you understand what the Archmage's Guild really is, right?"

At this moment, Uru came to Ide's side and asked Ide in a low voice.

"I see."

Id nodded slightly. He finally understood what Uru meant when he said that the relationship between the Archmage's Guild and the Archmages was closer than he had imagined.

The Archmage Guild is a big family, a family that embraces all members and provides support for all members within the guild.

"alright."

"Now can you tell me in detail what exactly this trouble you're talking about?!"

"Even if you don't end up joining Fairy Tail, I will still do my best to help you."

Makarov, with his hands behind his back, asked Id, Uru, and Eileen.

"Can I say it, Eileen?"

Before speaking, Ide consulted Eileen first, since this concerned Eileen's secret.

"sure."

Eileen, on the other hand, shrugged as if she didn't care.

"OK."

After obtaining Irene's permission, Ide approached Makarov and whispered, "It's like this, Senior Makarov, Irene accidentally pushed Dragon Slayer Magic to its peak, causing her body to irreversibly transform into a dragon. She has now completely turned into a dragon and lost all her human abilities! I wonder if you have any way to restore Irene to human form?"

"ah?!"

Makarov, who had been smiling, froze on the spot after hearing what Id said. He stared blankly at Id, his usually sharp mind seemingly frozen.

Well, Makarov could understand each word Id said individually, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand a single one.

Hey Hey hey!

What does it mean to have mastered Dragon Slayer Magic to its peak?

What does it mean when the body undergoes irreversible dragonification?

What do you mean by "having turned into a dragon and can no longer be human"?!

"ah."

"I don't understand a word you're saying!"

Just as Makarov was looking at Id and his group with a blank expression, somewhat at a loss,

Eileen walked straight up to Old Ma, put her hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile, "That's exactly what I mean."

"boom!!"

As Eileen finished speaking, Old Ma's pupils dilated sharply. He looked at Eileen as if she were a monster, his eyes wide with disbelief, and exclaimed, "What kind of immense magical power is this? It's unbelievably powerful!"

"Oh dear~"

"It seems this 'kid' in front of me can't solve my physical problems either."

"So it seems the pressure is on you again, Id."

Eileen seemed to have already guessed that Makarov was helpless in her situation, so she smiled nonchalantly and said to Id beside her.

After all, this is a symptom that even the 'Dark Mage' Zeref couldn't cure.

"So, in the end, we can only pin our hopes on 'Devil Fruits' after all?"

Ide sighed. It seemed that the only way to restore Irene to her human form was through the Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit in her ordinary human form.
