Fighting through pirates with Fairy Tail

Chapter 68 Ido: What was that Fairy Tail guild all about again?!

Chapter 68 Ido: What was that Fairy Tail guild you were talking about again?! (Part 3)

Several hours ago.

Inside the office of the mayor of the coastal city of Monnet.

"Can you really defeat the monster Unicol?"

Mayor Cappuccino sat across from Gildas and Gray, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

"Who do you think I am?"

"As long as the amount written on your letter of authorization is correct, I could kill a hundred more monsters of the level of Unicol."

Gildarts was very displeased with Cappuccino's doubts. He was a dignified S-class mage, and dealing with an A-class magical beast with a bounty of 300,000 J was a piece of cake for him.

"Feel sorry."

"I shouldn't have questioned you, it's just that—"

As Cappuccino spoke, he glanced at Gray, who was standing next to Gildarts. Although he didn’t say it outright, his words implied that he was questioning Gildarts about why he brought a kid along on the mission.

"Buzz!"

Gray, however, chose to let his strength speak for itself. With a wave of his hand, he used ice-making magic to create an ice sword that floated in mid-air, and said, "Unicron is a magical beast that lives in the sea, isn't it? In that case, it's time for me, an ice-attribute mage, to unleash my power."

"I see! My apologies, my apologies!"

"I didn't expect that you, who look so young, are already such a powerful archmage."

"With you and Mr. Gildarts working together, the mission to defeat the monster Unicol will be a piece of cake."

After Cappuccino confirmed that Gray was also a mage, and a rare ice-attribute mage in the city, his eyes lit up, he put away his doubts, and kept praising him.

After all, the Unicol that was living near the dock had seriously affected their coffee family's business.

Yes, besides being the mayor of the coastal city of Monet, Cappuccino is also Monet's underworld godfather, secretly leading the "coffee" gang.

Mocha, the leader of the "Coffee Gang," and Latte, the second-in-command, are both his younger brothers.

In this way, one person was in the open while two others were in the shadows, thus forming absolute control over the entire coastal city of Monnet.

"alright."

"Now that we've determined your strengths..."

"I won't stay here any longer and disturb your enjoyment."

As Cappuccino finished speaking, he sat up from the sofa and gave a wink to his underlings who were guarding the door.

"Understood."

The younger brother immediately understood what the other person meant from Cappuccino's eyes.

Before long, a graceful young woman with delicate features entered the room, facing Gildarts...

Gray and his companion smiled and said, "Hello, guests. I'm Emery."

"Gray, get out."

"Now it's time for the adults."

The moment Gildarts saw Emery, he felt a surge of anger and, without a word, threw the annoying brat Gray out of the third-floor window.

"ha?"

"Kildarts, you just wait, I'll tell the teacher."

Gray never expected Gildarts to be such a bastard. He looked up at Gildarts in the room on the third floor and roared.

"Whatever."

Gildarts ignored Gray and put his arm around Amelie, intending to have a long chat about adult matters.

"That damned Gildarts."

Gray got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and walked toward the side of the street, grumbling.

"Kid, get your work done faster."

It was while Gray was wandering aimlessly through the streets that he suddenly heard a shout coming from an alley.

"Um?"

Gray was drawn by the sound and walked over to take a closer look.

Then I saw a tall, middle-aged man pointing at a girl who was not yet ten years old, and shouting angrily at her.

The girl, carrying a box taller than herself, kept bowing and apologizing, "Please give me another chance! I'm sure I can do this job well."

"Fine, this won't happen again."

"If you don't perform well again, you'll have to accept the punishment."

Perhaps seeing the dirty young girl before him, the middle-aged man felt sorry for her and ultimately didn't scold her much. After giving her a verbal warning, he turned and left.

"Why."

After watching the middle-aged man leave, the girl gritted her teeth and picked up the goods on the ground, but perhaps because the goods were too heavy, she found it extremely difficult.

"I'll help you."

Seeing this, Gray felt a pang of pity and immediately stepped forward to help.

With Gray's strength, it was naturally very easy for him to help the girl lift the goods.

"Thank you for your help."

Upon seeing this, the dirty-looking girl immediately broke into a bright smile, nodded her thanks to Grey, and introduced herself: "My name is Mary, what's your name?"

"My name is Gray."

Gray said that.

"Grey, is it? I'll remember you."

Mary laughed as she led Gray, carrying the crates full of beer, toward the mayor's bar not far away.

"Hey, Mary."

"That's not a place for little kids, is it?"

Upon seeing this, Gray's pupils dilated slightly, and he asked Mary.

"It's alright, Gray."

My sister works there.

Mary shook her head, still smiling.

"?Yeah?"

Gray felt a little embarrassed; he always felt these were private questions that shouldn't be asked casually.

"Um."

"I heard that my sister and I were both bought by the mayor."

"So it's okay————"

Mary still had a smile on her face, but there was a certain protective quality to it.

"boom!"

Just as Mary finished speaking, a piercing roar suddenly erupted from the mayor's bar.

The walls of the bar were blasted to pieces by an unknown force, so that Gray and Mary could see inside the bar from outside.

In the bar.

Gildarts, with the hostess arranged by the mayor in his arms, sneered at the bartenders and gangsters around him, "Hey, this woman is mine."

"Are you kidding me! She's not included in the mission rewards."

"Do you really know how much a beautiful young woman is worth?"

Mayor Cappuccino, dressed in a black suit, arrived upon hearing the news. Upon discovering that the girl Gildarts was trying to abduct was actually their bar's top hostess, he immediately panicked and angrily rebuked him.

It would be fine if it were any other girl, but Emery is the top courtesan, so that's absolutely unacceptable.

"Feed".

"Human value cannot be measured in money, you bastard."

Gildarts frowned; in his eyes, the employer before him was nothing more than trash.

No.

Those who categorize people into different classes and even price them based on their appearance are worse than trash.

"Anyway, I'm taking this girl with me."

After saying that, Gildarts didn't give Cappuccino a chance to continue talking nonsense. He picked up Amelie and rushed out of the bar.

"elder sister?"

Outside the bar, Mary was startled when she saw the girl in Gildarts' arms.

"Mary?"

Amy noticed Gray and Mary outside the bar; she hadn't expected to see her sister there.

"what?"

"Mary, is she the sister you're talking about?"

Grey never imagined the world was so small. The sister Mary mentioned was someone he had met before, and she was with Gildarts.

"Kildarts, that child is my sister."

Upon noticing Mary, Emery immediately spoke to Gildarts, who was holding her in his arms.

"OK."

Gildarts gently led the way, and as he rushed to Gray's side, he used his remaining hand to lift Mary up as well, and then ran away.

Not only that, Gildarts also instructed Gray, "Gray, help me hold off the pursuers behind us."

"ha?"

Gray was completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

"That damned Gildarts!"

Just as Gray was still in a daze, Mayor Cappuccino emerged from the bar, dusting himself off. He angrily denounced Gildarts's treachery and ordered his men, "You guys catch up with that bastard and bring the Amelie sisters back to me."

"Yes, ma'am."

The Coffee Family's subordinates dared not say a word and immediately chased after the fleeing Gildarts.

"Did Gildarts fall out with his employer because of a woman?"

After Gray realized that the person chasing Gildarts was Cappuccino, he roughly figured out what was going on.

"Huh? You're Gray?"

"Arrest that black-haired brat too. He's in cahoots with that bastard Gildarts."

At the same time, Cappuccino also spotted Gray standing at the bar entrance and gave orders to his subordinates.

"Yes, ma'am."

Immediately, dozens of men in suits rushed towards Gray.

"Smash it!"

Gray touched the floor with both hands, instantly creating a smooth ice surface, causing these men in suits who lived in hot climates and had never skated before to slip and fall to the ground.

"I don't know why, but I don't think you guys are good people."

As Gray said this, he used ice-shaping magic to create a pair of ice skates for himself, and then quickly chased after Gildarts.

"What exactly happened with Gildarts?"

Before long, Gray came to Gildarts' side and asked him a question.

"I'll keep it short."

Gildarts glanced at Gray, who had caught up with him, and began to explain.

In short, Cappuccino was attracted to Emery's beauty, drove Emery's family to ruin, and then forcibly bought the Emery sisters.

Amélie couldn't bear the thought of her younger sister ending up like her, living a life of prostitution, so she asked Gildarts to send her sister to live with relatives in another city. Gildarts, on a whim, decided to send both sisters away, which led to a falling out with Cappuccino.

"So, Gray, what are you planning to do?"

"Should we continue with the mission, or take down those bastards behind us?"

Gildarts looked at Gray beside him and asked.

"Of course we'll take them down! To hell with the mission!"

Gray said that.

"As expected of Ido's apprentice."

Gildarts smiled with satisfaction.

And so, Gildarts and Gray fled while fighting off the mayor's pursuers, creating chaos throughout the streets, until they finally arrived at the docks.

"Grey, can you ride a jet ski?"

Gildarts looked at the motorboats docked at the pier and asked Gray.

"What do you want to do?"

A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in Gray's heart.

"Of course they escaped by boat."

With that, Gildarts charged straight toward the motorboat.

Since a motorboat can only carry two people, Gildarts left Mary with Grey and personally protected Emery.

"Hey, you bastard!"

Do you know whose motorboats these are?

"That's the mayor's motorboat!"

"Even this dock belongs to the mayor."

After Gildarts seized two motorboats, shouts and curses from the mayor's men immediately came from behind him.

"I see. Since it's the mayor's property, I'm relieved."

Upon hearing that the motorboat and dock belonged to the mayor, Gildarts immediately felt relieved. He then pointed his hand at the dock beneath their feet and said coldly, "Crush it."

"boom!!"

With a deafening roar that shook the entire city, the dock, which was hundreds of meters long, was instantly pulverized.

Those pursuers and the officials in charge of overseeing the docks, motorboats, and yachts for the mayor all fell into the sea and became soaked to the bone.

"hateful."

"Don't let them get away."

The pursuers, who had fallen into the sea because the dock was destroyed, were all good swimmers because they had grown up by the sea. They immediately surfaced and swam toward the scattered motorboats.

"I should have destroyed the ship too."

Seeing this, Gildarts curled his lip.

"Gildas, who exactly are you? I have never seen such a powerful mage as you."

At this moment, Emery, who was lying in Gildarts' arms, looked at Gildarts, who was speeding across the sea in a motorboat, with an incredulous look after witnessing Gildarts' true strength, and asked him a question.

"I'm just a mage from the Fairy Tail guild who happened to be passing by."

Gildarts replied with a smile.

"Damn, this thing is so hard to open."

Beside Gildarts, Gray, being too short to reach the throttle and brakes of the motorboat, had to use magic to make himself a pair of height-increasing shoes.

"Damn it, damn it!"

On the shore, Cappuccino looked at the ruined dock and Gildarts and his group who had fled. He angrily cursed, "That damned Gildarts, that meddlesome guy, he doesn't respect the spirit of the contract at all!"

"That despicable Fairy Tail guild! I'll never cooperate with you bastards again!"

"what?"

"Whether Gildarts is a bastard or not, I reserve my opinion and will not comment for now."

"But what did you just say about our Fairy Tail guild? Say it again if you dare."

Just as Cappuccino finished speaking, a black-clad man exuding a chilling aura appeared beside him without his noticing. He looked at Cappuccino with the cold gaze one would give a dead man and asked, "..."
