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

On the grassy area by the guild lake, Makarov and the others looked up at the returning streaks of flame, while the intermittent hissing sound of flames spewing from beneath Hughes' feet could be heard from time to time.

With increasing skill, Hughes soared through the air like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, displaying his graceful figure.

One moment it flew in an S-shape over Natsu's head as he stole fish, and the next it left an X-shaped fiery trail in the sky above Makarov and the others who were watching.

Her charm made the boys, including Gray, visibly envious.

"President~ We want to learn this too!"

Hughes thought he was a genius. How could he have come up with such a great combination technique? Moonwalk and his self-created flamethrower were a perfect match.

He controls his flight speed by breathing flames from the soles of his feet, and uses Moonwalk to control his flight direction; he can go wherever he wants in the entire sky, unrestrained and fast, so the guild leader no longer has to worry about him being late for missions.

Oh, by the way, there's no low-altitude fee here!

At this moment, Hughes, in high spirits, wanted to find a mage who could use flight magic to have a match with him.

"President, is Hughes using fire-based flight magic?"

In response to Gray's question, Makarov coughed a few times and then nodded.

Makarov will not reveal Hughes's identity as an otherworldly being or his mastery of a cultivation system similar to magic in another world for the time being.

In his youth, he had traveled throughout the entire world of Aslant and witnessed countless instances of darkness; Makarov knew that the world was far from as wonderful as he had imagined.

If Hughes's affairs were to fall into the wrong hands, who knows what kind of schemes and plots might be waiting for him, especially those dark mages who have fallen into darkness and gone mad.

Even Laxus, at his instruction, always used lightning elemental magic instead of lightning dragon-slaying magic when carrying out missions.

Although Laxus's secret was exposed after his battle with Hughes...

Thinking of this, Makarov glanced at Natsu, who was still eating fish in the lake. Ever since he learned that Laxus was also a Dragon Slayer Mage, the kid had been sticking to Laxus's back, constantly asking about dragons, which annoyed Laxus so much that he didn't dare to come to the guild today.

While Makarov was lost in thought after Gray's words, Hughes, who was having a great time playing in the sky, rushed toward the lake. In no time, Hughes stood in the air in front of Natsu.

"Hughes, do you eat fish too?" Natsu, with a bright smile, handed over a fish that he had specially heated with a flame.

Hughes: ...Is this dark, carbonized lump a fish?

No wonder it's a demon raised by a dragon; it has a great appetite and eats things that are different from ordinary people.

A demon... Oh right! Hughes was shocked; he had almost forgotten Natsu's other identity!

This kid isn't just the son of a dragon; he's also the strongest demon Zeref created. END.

Demon == Increased strength...

Meanwhile, Happy flew over and kicked the charcoal fish out of Natsu's hand: "Hey, Natsu, eating burnt fish will make you sick!"

Natsu: "Ah~"

Hughes shook his head, clearing his mind of the random thoughts; he had come to see Natsu because he had something to discuss.

Natsu's Fire Dragon Slayer Magic has two characteristics: one is to devour, and the other is to strengthen the body. This is especially evident when flames cover his hands, making Natsu's fists heavier and harder.

Both use fire, but the flames produced by Hughes' Flame-Flame Fruit do not have these characteristics; therefore, Hughes came to Natsu to learn from him and see if their flames have anything in common.

Based on his physical attributes, which had been enhanced three times by the system, if he could learn Natsu's two fire-related abilities, his power ceiling would be raised even higher.

Perhaps taking down a demon with a single punch is no longer just wishful thinking.

While Natsu was puzzled, Hughes grabbed him and threw him near Makarov and the others.

Hughes flipped his palm over, and a ball of deep flame floated out from his hand, landing perfectly on Natsu and drying him off.

Natsu sniffed the aroma, the delicious scent emanating from the Hughes Flame making his eyes light up. He then opened his mouth wide and swallowed it in one gulp.

Natsu: *hiccup*

"Natsu, hit me with Fire Dragon's Iron Fist and Fire Dragon's Shattering Fang!" Hughes said seriously, looking into Natsu's eyes.

To increase the power of Natsu's flames, Hughes continuously fed Natsu flames that he swallowed.

Natsu, who had become round and chubby, looking no different from a fat pig, quickly waved his hands: "Hughes, I can't eat anymore~"

If he eats any more, he really will throw up!

Without the nourishment of the Hughes Flame, Natsu's body quickly returned to its original size, at a speed that would make any dieter envious.

Natsu, who inherited the dragon's fighting spirit, ignited flames in his eyes and his entire body surged with magical power. In a moment, his fists were enveloped in explosive flames.

"I've arrived, Hughes!"

Natsu, who had long wanted to fight Hughes, didn't bother asking Hughes why he wanted him to beat him up.

Natsu leaped high into the air, pulled his right fist behind him, gathered his strength to its maximum, and then slammed it down.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

With a loud shout, the flames of the fist seemed to emit a faint dragon's roar as the fist, engulfed in explosive flames, slammed into Hughes' chest.

Bang!

Without using his elemental powers or the iron block, Hughes staggered back several steps, relying on his exaggeratedly strong physique to withstand the attack.

Experiencing it firsthand is always the most effective way to understand magical techniques!

"Hey, Hughes, aren't you going to use some kind of physical magic that can make your body as hard as steel?"

Once he had steadied himself, Hughes, facing Natsu's question, simply placed his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Let's continue, Natsu; we don't need Iron Body to deal with you right now!"

"Damn you, Hughes! Fire Dragon's Fang!" Natsu, who was easily ignited, was enraged by Hughes, and the flames on his body became several times stronger.

With his hands forming claws, he charged angrily at Hughes, his fierce fiery claws slashing across Hughes' chest and knocking him back several steps!

Hughes looked down at his chest, where several white scratches were fading.

Sigh! He's still too powerful~

......

"President, is Hughes having another attack?" Mira, who was watching the match, asked anxiously.

Mira's condition, which is characterized by impaired vision, seems to be worsening! Makarov sighed helplessly, already mentally reserving a bed for Mira in Polyusica.

Going blind at such a young age is unacceptable!

At this scene, Hughes showed no signs of illness whatsoever; rather, Natsu was on the verge of having a seizure from anger...

"Damn you, Hughes! Use your physical magic now! Fire Dragon's Wing Strike!"

"The Fire Dragon's Claw!"

"The Fire Dragon's Flaming Elbow... Damn it, why is it completely useless!"

Hughes, silently sensing Natsu's flames, shrugged; he didn't want to discourage Natsu either.

He was simply relying on his physical body to withstand Natsu's attack; he hadn't activated Iron Body at all!

All I can say is that Natsu's strength is really lacking right now.

Dame dame~

Fearing that he would break the kid's confidence, Hughes grabbed Natsu's head and pressed it down just as Natsu continued his attack.

"Natsu, that's all for today. I'll come find you again in a while." Through direct physical experience, Hughes had already figured out some of Natsu's fire-related abilities.
