Fairy Tail: I was transported to the wrong world and became a pirate

The next morning, the guild members arrived early at the outskirts of Magnolia Town; Hughes and Laxus were going to have a duel there, and they came early to reserve their spots.

The duel's protagonists hadn't arrived yet, but the lively atmosphere was growing stronger, with discussions everywhere.

"Have you heard? Hughes failed to catch any fish last night, and in his rage, he dried up the entire lake!"

Upon hearing this news, Lidas immediately shared it with Nabu beside him: "I heard that Hughes dried up the lake last night!"

Nabu, unaware of the truth, looked on in astonishment. "Can this lake really dry up?"

Completely bewildered, he turned and relayed the message: "Hey, did you hear? Hughes dried a fish last night!"

"No, no, I'm right here beside you! Nabu, you're lying! Lidas just told you that Hughes dried up the lake!"

Nabu shook his head: "How could a person dry up a lake? Lidas must be wrong. Hughes must have dried up fish!"

"Hey, Nabu, you don't know this, do you? The guild leader once got drunk and used giant magic, jumping onto..."

Cough cough cough... Makarov, his face flushed with embarrassment, couldn't help but cough to prevent these bastards from saying more and more.

Gildas, who had been eavesdropping quietly, clicked his tongue with regret. He was determined to get his hands on this secret; he was sure he had Makarov under his thumb.

"Hasn't that bastard Hughes arrived yet?" Eager for revenge, Laxus looked around, but he couldn't see Hughes, nor the three brats with him.

Makarov, who had reconciled with Laxus and was now part of Laxus's support group, was also searching for Hughes.

The agreed time is fast approaching, should we just declare Laxus the winner?

"By the way, did you tell Hughes that the duel venue has been changed to here?" Gildas asked, stroking his chin in confusion.

If Macao hadn't told him, he would have thought that Laxus and Hughes were fighting within the guild!

Upon hearing this, several figures in the crowd paused slightly. Makarov glanced at Macao, Vakaba, and the others, then closed his eyes in anguish.

"You bastards, how could you forget this? Go find them! Hughes and the others must have gone to the guild!"

Wakaba quickly pointed at Macao, saying that this was Macao's responsibility and had nothing to do with him.

"They say fishing leads to bad luck, but Macao, you insisted on fishing so late last night, and now look what happened!"

"Hey! Wakaba, how did you know I caught a 20-pound fish last night!"

Makarov: ...Erza, you'd better run the errand!

"Yes, President!" the reliable knight girl replied earnestly.

On the other side, Hughes was with the three little ones, eating and chatting in the guild. It was rare for the guild to be so empty, so they could eat more.

This time, he used Elfman's account. That kid is only 12 years old and can eat, drink, and stay in the guild for free.

Makarov reimbursed all of this money...

The young woman at the bar looked at the four of them curiously: "Hughes, didn't I tell you the fighting venue has been moved to the outskirts? Aren't you going?"

"Hmph! They didn't tell me beforehand, and they didn't come to invite me. They'll be standing in the suburbs until tomorrow!"

Do they still think he, Hughes, is a member of the guild? They didn't even tell him before moving to a different location. He's the main character in this whole drama!

Finally, after a series of kind words from Mira and Erza, Hughes walked with his head held high to the arena for the duel.

"You damn Hughes, are you scared now that you're finally here!" Faced with Laxus's mindless provocation, Hughes pushed Macao directly to his side.

"Ask him!"

"Laxus, how did you know I caught a 20-pound fish last night!"

Laxus: (Well▼Dish▼Well)

...He killed the fish from Macaoo and made fish head stew!

Makarov quickly led the shameful Marcao away, waving for everyone to step back: "Everyone, get back! Gildarts, make sure to protect Erza and the others!"

Gildarts nodded solemnly, with Erza, Mira, Natsu, and others behind him.

To let Natsu and the others witness a real battle between mages, Makarov specifically arranged for them to stand at the front, with Gildarts responsible for protecting them.

Makarov was responsible for watching over Hughes and Lagersas.

This time, Laxus is serious!

"Come on!" Hughes twisted his neck to meet Laxus's intimidating eyes.

Flames and lightning coalesced around the two men. Hughes held a blazing flame that condensed into a spear, while Laxus roared with thunder in his hand, compressing yellow lightning into a halberd.

"Sacred Fire Shiranui!"

"Thunder Dragon Halberd!"

"Bang! Boom!"

The flaming spear collided with the lightning halberd, creating a violent explosion and whipping up a billowing hot wind.

The surrounding area within dozens of meters instantly vanished into nothingness. Gildarts swung his fist, disintegrating the scattered flames and lightning.

"The Thunder Dragon's Jaw Horn!"

Laxus roared and slammed his fists, imbued with lightning, into the ground. The massive lightning bolts, carrying immense power, spread rapidly across the ground.

Knowing that Hughes couldn't fly, he first seized the ground and turned it into a thunderous field, which would make Hughes more cautious.

Facing the approaching, violent thunder, Hughes calmly looked at Laxus and said, "Don't embarrass yourself with such petty tricks!"

Lightning bolts pierced through Hughes's body and exploded on the ground. Hughes easily dodged it using his elemental powers, then opened his hands, which emitted a green light.

This is the firefly he created by studying the changes in the shape of flames!

Wisps of green flames drifted from his palm, spreading outwards and enveloping Laxus.

"Firefly Daruma!"

With Hughes's soft shout, the green light on his palms instantly turned into flames, and the green light surrounding Laxus exploded instantly, with flames continuing to burn on his body!

Laxus, severely injured by this attack, collapsed to the ground and howled in pain. Hughes almost mistook him for Blackbeard.

[Thor Enel has been detected. Defeat him!]

The quest "Challenge Thor Enel" is now active!

The system's voice appeared in Hughes's mind. Hughes glanced at the mission reward and accepted it immediately.

With Laxus not even S-rank right now, Hughes couldn't imagine any possibility of losing.

[Quest Reward: Ultimate Skill - Moonwalk (Perfect)]

Of the six techniques, Hughes wanted Moonwalk and Shave the most. Now that he's been given the perfected Moonwalk, it suits Hughes's wishes.

"Use everything the president has taught you these past two days!" Hughes said calmly.

"Heh!" Laxus chuckled as he stood up, using magic to disperse the flames on his body.

He took a deep breath, his mouth bulged, his chest rose, and a golden magic circle instantly formed in front of him.

Seeing this familiar move, Natsu was stunned.

"Roar of the Thunder Dragon!"

It was as if a dragon was roaring in the void, and a shockwave of lightning powerful enough to destroy mountains and the earth spewed out from Laxus's mouth.

Hughes shook his head calmly and directly transformed into his element to avoid the roar, but he did not expect that Laxus's attack was just the prelude.

The roar that passed through Hughes' body combined with the lightning on the ground, transforming into chains of lightning that instantly bound him.
