I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 331, Year 330.X777, a casual...

"That was a mother and daughter that I met when Yamato and I were traveling in the northern ice fields."

"At that time, the little girl, who was a daughter, possessed immense innate magical power."

So when he had health problems, he happened to find a Primal Fruit and gave it to them.

"During that time, that mother even acted as our tour guide. We gradually became familiar with each other."

When we met them again a year later, they were facing trouble with the great demon Deliora, and we once again stepped in to save them.

After a while, they joined our guild, but the mother and daughter usually stay in the northern ice plains. They only come here from time to time to get some suitable quests to do.

That little girl's magical aptitude is indeed quite good. Did you know that she has a remarkable talent for time magic?

By the way, their name is Uru-Urutia.

A flicker of surprise crossed Moses' eyes, but Robin continued with a smile:

"By the way, both mother and daughter are great beauties."

Mercer said speechlessly, "Whether she's beautiful or not is none of my business."

Robin's lips curled into a smile as he turned to look at Mercer. "Who said it's none of your business? The magic they practice is your original source of extreme ice magic."

Mercer was even more speechless. "I passed on the primal magic four hundred years ago. You can't expect me to be responsible for learning even a little bit of it."

Robin's smile widened even more: "You know what? They're also huge fans of the Magic Emperor. Uru's greatest admiration is for the Magic Emperor who saved their ancestors from the dragon four hundred years ago and taught them the primordial magic."

Fate is truly a wonderful thing.

Mercer chuckled and shook his head, reaching out to gently pinch her delicate nose and rub the tip:

"To me, he was just a stranger I met once and who casually passed on some magic to me."

For me, the purpose of teaching them magic back then was simply to make the magic world more exciting today.

I just hope it will give me some inspiration.

Hearing this, Robin burst out laughing: "Hahaha, then you're going to be disappointed. You know what? The original magic you inherited is mostly lost magic in this magical age."

Moses raised an eyebrow. "So?"

“Not so!” Robin laughed. “Because after the Age of Dragons, humans had no natural enemies, so after about a hundred years of peace, they fell into a war of magic.”

Because of the power of primal magic, it has become a strategic resource that all parties are vying for.

Many vulnerable groups of mages were wiped out.

Many primal runes and primal spells have become fragmented and lost with each war. Even the Mildian Magic Academy, now a magical mecca in the Western Continent, experienced a rebellion. Some primal runes, already difficult to learn, have vanished into the annals of history.

At this point, Robin looked at Moses with amusement, "Because of the power of primal magic, the intensity of the war has undoubtedly become even greater."

Some even felt that it would have been better if the ancient magic emperors hadn't spread primordial magic so widely.

Mercer's eyes were serene, like a deep, mysterious sea, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

At this moment, Erii spoke up: "So what? Anyway, my brother has never cared about such things."

Could their discontent possibly influence their brother's decision?

Erii said this as a matter of course, and Robin agreed, "It's just that I get annoyed when I hear these kinds of comments. I wouldn't even say a harsh word to my own Messe, so how dare they gossip about me? I really want to punch those people to pieces."

"You agree, right, Moses?"

Robin blinked and chuckled. Mercer rolled her eyes at her and said, "Seriously, I can now use the power of existence to influence the river of time, making the existence of the primordial runes unknown to anyone."

In this way, primal magic will become true lost magic.

But after thinking about it, I forgot about it.

To me, they are as insignificant as Erii said.

Makino smiled and said, "Since they're unimportant, let's not talk about them anymore, so as not to affect your mood."

As they spoke, a cocktail of blood red and cyan was served.

"Come and try it! My new drink is a classic red and blue combination, it's so delicious!"

"Then I'll have to try it."

Mercer took it, sipped it lightly, and found it refreshing with a hint of spiciness. It had a perfect balance of sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy flavors, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

Makino sat behind the bar, resting her chin on her hand, a smile on her face:

"Like it?"

Moses looked at her and smiled. "What do you think?"

Makino rolled her eyes at Messer, then laughed even more happily: "Then I'll assume you like it."

Savoring the various wines offered by Marcino, offering their opinions and comments.

Magino smiled as he looked at Mercer. Indeed, only when Mercer was here did this feel like home.

At that moment, Kureha walked in from outside carrying a bottle of liquor, plopped down next to Erii, and said to Makino:
"A Bloody Mary."

Makino nodded with a smile: "Just woke up? Would you like something to eat?"

Kureha yawned and nodded: "I've been studying potions all night. Magic is indeed interesting."

He then looked at Moses with displeasure and said, "You come back and don't even come to greet me."

Mercer rolled her eyes at her. "Well, that's what happens when you're always holed up in the castle, working your ass off."

Kureha said speechlessly, "What's it to you?"

Mercer nodded and smiled, "That's right, we have plenty of time, so we don't need to work so hard on our research."

Kureha's eyes rolled back, "I'm willing."

Moses was helpless.

Kureha got up, came over, and ruffled Messer's hair, chuckling softly:
"Have you missed your old mother all these years?"

Mercer sighed helplessly, "Of course, how could I not miss you?"

"You pass."

Kureha chuckled.

The group of people were drinking and chatting.

Time passed day by day, and another half month later, Hancock and the others returned.

A blink of an eye.

Six years later.

this day,

July 7, X777.

In the morning, at a castle located within the Fiore Palace.

The group arrived at a huge, ancient door.

Gate of the Solar Eclipse.

With the arrival of this generation's Leila Heartfilia, due to an accident, only eleven golden keys were collected and inlaid into the doorway with a magical incantation.

Golden light shines brightly.

Leila's face turned pale instantly.

The missing Aquarius key was replaced with his own magic, but even with the enormous amount of magic consumed, it was still not enough, and his life force began to drain away.

at the same time.

The gates of the solar eclipse were slowly opened.

On the tower not far away, Moses sat on the edge of the tower watching the blonde beauty below open the door.

Jeff, who had also arrived and was standing nearby, smiled and spoke:
"Natsu, he's coming."

"And, Mercer, it's been so long. Four hundred years. You haven't changed at all."

Mercer laughed, "Aren't you the same, Zeref? But you've gotten a lot stronger."

Jelf's eyes are filled with remembrance:

"With four hundred years of accumulation, even a pig could transform into a dragon pig. Besides, I'm no less capable."

At that moment, the Gate of Eclipse opened, and five streams of light flew out from within, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye. Then, a blonde Anna dressed in a magic robe emerged from it.

He stared blankly at the blonde woman in front of him who looked about 70% like him.

Listening to their interesting conversation.

Seeing this, Mercer's lips curled into a smile. He flicked his finger, and spatial ripples spread outwards. A streak of light that had already reached the horizon flew back.

It floated beside Mercer and transformed into a cute little girl of about five years old with dark blue hair.

Jeff, standing to the side, looked surprised and was about to speak when...

A ripple of time spread across Mercer's body, pointing towards the blonde beauty below. Instantly, the timeline of Leila's body, not far below, was refreshed.

Her physical condition returned to what it was before she opened the door, and all the energy she had used to open the door was replenished.

Leila stared in astonishment at her outstretched hands, then looked blankly at her ancestor before her.
"Did you use magic to replenish my lost magic power and life force?"

Anna looked at Leila, her junior, with a blank expression, and sensed the time fluctuations emanating from Leila.

A vague sense of familiarity with magic arose, and following the direction, I looked up at the two figures on the tower not far away.

With a look of surprise, he said, "Magic Emperor Mercer, Dark Mage Zeref."

Leila turned around in surprise to look in that direction, but saw nothing.

He asked blankly, "Why was there only one person at our ancestor's place?"

Anna glanced at Leila and said helplessly, "It's those two important figures. It seems that even after four hundred years, they are still as impressive as ever."

You can't see him because the Magic Emperor probably doesn't want you to see him.

But we're really lucky; the Magic Emperor is here to heal you.

Leila, thank you.

Leila asked curiously, "How did you know it was the Magic Emperor who healed me?"

Anna's eyes flashed with longing as she said:
"Legend has it that the Magic Emperor Mercer has mastered all the magic in the world. He is omnipotent and knows everything."

Leila asked blankly:
"But if he is omnipotent, why doesn't he destroy that legendary world-destroying black dragon?"

Anna smiled wryly and said, "I don't know either. Maybe Black Dragon is just too strong."

Listening to the conversation below, Jelf, with a hint of resentment in his eyes, whispered:

"Messer, you're so unfair! You didn't even bring Natsu along."

Moses pouted and said, "Can't you do it yourself?"

As she spoke, she glanced at him and said, "By the way, your understanding of life and death has reached the conceptual level, and you can already begin to weave powers."

Jelf raised an eyebrow. "With the help of your primordial runes, it's been four hundred years, and it's time for me to take this step."

Ankhseram's curse has no effect on me whatsoever.

At this point, Zeref looked at Mercer with a hint of resentment:

"It is precisely because I have come this far that I am certain of my strength. The Black Dragon is definitely no match for me now. So, by the same token, why didn't I kill him back then?"

Moses disappeared with the little girl, leaving only a soft laugh behind:
"You all worked so hard back then, I couldn't bear to dampen your enthusiasm."

Jelf's lips twitched, and upon hearing this, he choked on his own words.

"A guy with bad taste."

Then, the space shifted and he disappeared from there, heading in the direction where his younger brother Natsu had disappeared.

……

In the blink of an eye, Mercer returned to the guild, where they were all. She handed the little girl floating beside her, Wendy, into the arms of a surprised Eileen.

Mercer laughed, "We're lucky today, we found Erza a little sister."

Eileen blinked, looking at the little girl who had appeared in her arms, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes. "Isn't this child Wendy?"

She then discovered the celestial dragon Grandine, located deep within Wendy's sea of ​​consciousness, but she didn't care.

He laughed and said, "Great! It's good that Erza has another friend."

As he spoke, Cao Cao, with his long crimson hair, arrived, followed by Erza and a little girl with black herringbone haircut.

Both of them looked at the little girl in Eileen's arms with curiosity.
Erza asked curiously, "Mom, do you know her? Tia, look, this little sister is quite cute."

Her friend was none other than Urutia, who had come here from the northern ice plains with her mother.

The two were the same age, so they played together.

However, the two of them acted like troublemakers.

Lawless.

Ultear blinked, looking at Wendy curiously, then looked up and asked Eileen:

"Sister Eileen, what's wrong with this little girl? Is she unconscious?"

Erza, standing to the side, looked annoyed and said:

"Tia, you're taking advantage of me again. You have to call her Aunt Eileen."

Eileen, her face dark, gripped Erza's head with her left hand and said with a forced smile:

"Why do you call Robin and the others 'older sister' too? They're all your aunts."

Erza blinked, looking bewildered. "They're all so young and beautiful. Calling them 'auntie' would make them sound old."

Rebellious woman.

Eileen was so angry that her stomach hurt.

They grabbed Erza's face and pulled hard.

Erza, her eyes blurry with tears from the pain, looked pleadingly at Moses: "Please, do something about your Irene! My face is being pinched raw!"

Mercer watched this scene with amusement, completely ignoring Erza's plea for help.

Instead, she looked at Wendy in Eileen's arms. The little girl's eyelashes fluttered, she opened her eyes, and looked at Eileen blankly, saying:
"Big sister, who are you? Where am I?"

Eileen's lips curled into a smile; she felt this girl was becoming more and more endearing, and chuckled softly:
“My name is Eileen, you can call me sister,”

As he spoke, he pointed at Erza, a devilish smile curling at the corner of his mouth:
"This girl is Erza, you can just call her your little niece."

It's just about hurting each other, who's afraid of whom?

Erza's face darkened. Calling this little girl "aunt"? Are you kidding me?

His gaze turned fierce, and Wendy immediately turned and hugged Eileen's neck, shrinking back in fear.
"The people outside Grandine are so scary, waaaaah~"

Sobbing began, and Erza sighed helplessly.
"I didn't yell at you, don't be scared."

Ultear covered her mouth and chuckled, "Erza, you're so mean! How could you bully a little girl like that?"

Erza immediately waved her hands frantically, "I didn't, you're lying, Tia, do you want to get beaten up?"

Mercer chuckled and shook her head, no longer bothering with their fun.
Instead, they turned their attention to higher, alternate dimensions beyond the planet.

Now that we've come this far, it's time to go and take a trip.

The next instant, Mercer vanished.

Erii tilted her head, her gaze fixed on Messe's position, and after thinking for a moment, she stopped thinking about it.

He just stared intently at that spot.

Robin Pepe, who was standing nearby, rolled her eyes and chuckled, "Hello, hello, what interesting thing is Erii looking at?"

Erii reached out her hand and said softly, "If you want to see it, I'll show you."

"Hurrah."

"I want it too, I want it too."

"Eri, I'm here too."

"Where did Messer go?"

People held hands, their vision connected through Erii's, and together they witnessed an incredibly magical scene.
