Lucy looked over at the sound, and it was Natsu's companion from the afternoon.
"I remember you're called... Ye Yang."
Ye Yang nodded, patting the sand off Happy's body.
"Natsu, finish up quickly. We need to go."
Natsu's voice came from afar: "Oh, got it."
Without the influence of the ship, Natsu's aura instantly changed.
"Hey, I heard you're the Fire Dragon of Fairy Tail?!"
Although Bora knew he was a fake, he wasn't flustered at all. After all, no one knew the Fire Dragon, so he was the Fire Dragon.
"So what!"
"Hurry up and take care of these guys, or we'll be finished if the Council catches us!"
Bora's subordinates all raised their weapons and charged at Natsu.
Natsu casually punched two charging men, sending them flying.
"I am Natsu of Fairy Tail, and I don't remember anyone like you in the guild!"
Lucy looked at Happy and Ye Yang in shock after hearing this.
"You... you're Mages of Fairy Tail?!"
"Aye!"
Then, the Fairy Tail emblem on Natsu's arm was also revealed.
Bora's subordinate hurriedly said: "Mr. Bora, it's... it's the real one?!"
Bora, seeing his lie exposed by his subordinate, angrily retorted: "Idiot! I told you not to call my name!"
Happy, munching on a fish from who knows where, unhurriedly said: "Bora of the Red Lotus, a Mage who was expelled by the Giant's Nose several years ago."
Lucy worriedly asked: "Then Natsu won't be in trouble, will he?!"
Happy, with a confident look, said: "Don't worry, Lucy, Natsu is very strong."
Then Bora instructed his subordinates: "Leave this kid to me, you guys go deal with that woman and that cat."
Hearing Bora's command, everyone picked up their weapons again, turned around, and walked towards Lucy.
Lucy immediately panicked: "What do I do! What do I do! They're coming."
Happy comforted her: "Don't worry, Lucy, with my big brother here, even 100 times these people wouldn't be his match."
After hearing Happy's words, Lucy looked at Ye Yang, who seemed to be almost asleep next to her, with a puzzled expression, constantly thinking about this man in her mind, but she had never heard of such a person.
Ye Yang looked at the group of minions in front, slightly raised a finger, and a golden light instantly streaked across.
"Boom—!!"
A small mushroom cloud rose from the ground.
That group of subordinates all lay motionless on the ground.
"So strong!" Lucy exclaimed in shock.
Bora, seeing his subordinates eliminated like that, knew he couldn't let this continue.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings!"
"Red Typhoon!"
Bora unfurled a red magic circle, and a large amount of flames surged from it, directly engulfing Natsu.
Bora disdainfully said: "A kid who only talks big."
After speaking, he prepared to deal with Ye Yang.
Just then, Natsu's voice came from within the flames.
"Disgusting, are you really a Fire Mage? This is the first time I've eaten such terrible flames."
Bora looked back and saw Natsu in the flames eating his flames. In a moment, the flames were completely devoured by Natsu.
"Thanks for the meal."
"After eating, power surges out."
Then Natsu clenched both fists, one in front and one behind, and a crimson magic circle with dragon patterns appeared in front.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
A scorching flame erupted from Natsu's mouth, rapidly heading towards Bora.
"Boom—!"
Natsu's attack directly destroyed the ship behind Bora, and at this moment, Bora was carried into the air by the flames, avoiding the previous attack.
Lucy looked at Natsu in surprise; she had never seen such magic before.
"What kind of magic is this, that can eat flames and also use flames as a weapon?!"
Happy explained by her side: "A dragon's lungs can breathe fire, a dragon's scales can melt fire, a dragon's claws can entwine fire. This is ancient magic that transforms one's body into a dragon's constitution. Natsu's magic was taught by Igneel, the Fire Dragon, which is why Natsu is—"
"Salamander!" Lucy exclaimed in shock.
Bora said with disdain: "Tch! What Fire Dragon, it's just something people brag about."
"I need to deal with you guys quickly, or it'll be hard to leave later."
Natsu said with a sharp expression: "You can't escape!"
Saying this, Natsu wrapped flames around his fists and quickly charged towards Bora.
Bora, seeing this, hurriedly cast magic.
"Red Flame Baptism!"
A large number of pink flame bullets rained down around Natsu.
Natsu dodged while disdainfully saying: "Your move compared to my companion's is like heaven and earth!"
Saying this, Natsu leaped up and directly punched Bora, knocking him down from high in the sky.
Bora was about to get up when Natsu was already in front of him, and his flame-covered fists and feet rained down on Bora's body.
Then a flame-condensed punch directly sent Bora flying, tearing through several houses.
Just then, footsteps approached, and Ye Yang and the others immediately understood what was happening.
Ye Yang flashed with golden light and instantly vanished from his spot.
Lucy, who didn't understand what was going on, was about to ask what happened when Natsu grabbed her and quickly ran forward.
"Huh~~~!"
"Why are you still standing there? The Council's army is here; it'll be troublesome if they catch us!"
"But why do I have to run!"
"Don't you want to join Fairy Tail!"
"Huh?... Hmm!"
The encounter of the boy and the girl caused the gears of fate to begin to turn.
At the Magic Council
"Bang!" A Council member slammed the table in dissatisfaction.
"It's these guys again! To catch a group of human traffickers, they destroyed half the port!"
"Council Member Org, please calm down. When does something like this not happen? Although they were at fault, no one was injured, and they've destroyed countless Dark Guilds. Let's just consider it a wash."
"Council Member Yajima, I know you are very familiar with the Master of Fairy Tail, so of course you'll speak for them."
Yajima was not at all bothered: "So what? Is there anything wrong with what I said? Not to mention the entire guild, even..."
Before Yajima could finish, he was directly interrupted by the Council Chairman. For the Council, that name was one they preferred not to mention, the man who indirectly nailed the Council to the pillar of shame.
Crawford Seam tapped the table and said: "Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. Now is not the time to argue. Let's deal with this problem. It's taken us a lot of effort these past few years to regain the Council's reputation among the public."
"This old man doesn't want our reputation to decline again."
The two who were spoken to by Crawford immediately quieted down.
At this time, two young people in the Council were whispering.
Female Council Member: "That existence no one wants to mention, what do you think of him."
Male Council Member looked at the Female Council Member: "What he's like, what does it have to do with me?"
Female Council Member smiled: "What if~"
Male Council Member confidently said: "No one can stop me."
Female Council Member smiled and stopped talking.
