Fighting through pirates with Fairy Tail

Chapter 24 The Birth of Erza~

"So, 'Devil Fruits' are in another world, right?"

At this moment, Zeref, who had been standing silently beside Eileen and Id, suddenly tried to smooth things over for Id.

"Another world?"

Eileen turned to look at Zeref, a questioning look in her eyes.

"Yes."

"In fact, the universe we live in is vast and wondrous! Every night when you look up, the countless stars you see are each and every unique world."

"As far as I know, the world we live in is called Eslandon. Besides that, there is Edolas, a world where magic is about to run out, and Elentia, a world where magic is so abundant that the entire planet is about to be destroyed by the abundant magic."

Jelf explained with a chuckle.

For the past four hundred years, he has traveled to countless worlds in an effort to remove the "curse" from his body and to destroy that damned "black dragon" Acnologia, but he still has no way to get rid of the "curse" or the "black dragon".

However, as Zeref traveled to more and more worlds, he became more and more accepting of those worlds with all sorts of strange and wonderful abilities.

Therefore, Zeref believed that perhaps in one of these starry worlds, there truly was a way to turn dragons into humans.

"The Location of Another World!"

After receiving information about the "other world" from Zeref, Eileen immediately turned to Ido and asked him about the location of the other world that possessed "Devil Fruits."

"I don't know for now."

Id opened his mouth and replied helplessly.

"But I believe in myself, and I will be able to go back someday."

Then, Id quickly added another sentence.

Yes, Ide believed that once his system's built-in "teleportation portal" was fully charged, he would definitely be able to return to the world of "One Piece".

"..."

After confirming that Id hadn't lied, Eileen fell silent once again, her emotions fluctuating wildly like a rollercoaster.

I believe you.

After a long silence, Eileen suddenly smiled. Her smile was like the warm spring sun, like a melting iceberg, carrying boundless vitality.

"hehe."

Upon seeing this, Id also laughed.

"boom!"

Just as Ide and Eileen exchanged a smile, Eileen's gaze towards Ide changed slightly. After much hesitation, she finally made this difficult decision.

At the same moment Eileen made her decision, the magic power within her erupted like a volcano, a massive amount of magic power that made the heavens and earth pale in comparison.

"Well."

As Id looked at the sky, which had been shattered by Eileen's burst of magic, his pupils dilated and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

"Eileen, what are you doing?"

"Calm down, you must calm down!"

Ide looked at Eileen and asked in a trembling voice.

"Ultimate Additional Technique: Dragon Slayer Magic!"

Eileen did not answer Id's question. She simply extended her slender, fair fingers and gently stroked Id's chest. Her smile was so bright that it stirred one's heart, and she recited the type of magic she was using.

"what?"

"Imbued with Dragon Slayer Magic?"

Id was clearly somewhat at a loss.

"Yes, Id."

Before Id could think further, Eileen spoke to him in the gentlest of tones, "Although I believe what you said, it doesn't mean I trust you as a person!"

"Therefore, in order to make 'Little Girl' become human again."

"It's also to prevent the 'Dragon Seed' within you from reaching its full potential and becoming one of my kind."

"Do everything in your power to find the 'Devil Fruit,' my dear Mr. Ido."

At this point, Eileen winked playfully at Id and continued, "Besides, I've already prepaid for the reward, so I won't hold you accountable for peeping at me 'naked' before."

"I…"

Ide wanted to refute something, but he didn't know where to begin. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he just couldn't bring himself to say them.

"There's one more thing."

Eileen didn't give Id a chance to say anything more. She gently stroked her lower abdomen, a maternal glow flashing in her eyes.

However, Eileen quickly suppressed this primal maternal instinct. Her expression returned to normal, and she whispered, "Separation!"

"Buzz!"

The moment Eileen finished speaking, she was holding a cute little baby in her arms. She held the baby tightly in her arms as if it were a priceless treasure, and her eyes were filled with deep reluctance as she looked at the baby.

But Eileen knew in her heart that she could not keep the baby by her side; her heart had been completely corrupted by the four hundred years of endurance she had endured.

If she were to forcibly keep her daughter by her side, she would one day be unable to suppress her inner impulses and thus possess her daughter's pure body, which had not been tainted by dragon-slaying magic.

"Seriously?"

Ide was so shocked by Eileen's "painless" childbirth that he was speechless. His eyes widened, and he was at a loss for what to do.

"I'm also entrusting my daughter to your care, Id."

As Eileen spoke, she placed her daughter directly into Id's arms.

"no?"

"You trust me that much?"

Ide, somewhat flustered, held Eileen's daughter and looked up at Eileen, asking a question.

"It's not that I believe you."

"Besides you, there is no one else here I can entrust my daughter to."

Eileen shook her head. As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to remember something, looked at Id, and continued, "Of course, if you can really help me break the curse within me, I wouldn't mind marrying you as a way of repaying you."

"what?"

"I'm already married."

Id shook his head, indicating that he was already married.

"It's okay."

"I can wait for you for four hundred years!"

"Id, what will you leave behind four hundred years from now?"

"In fact, you are now living much longer than you imagine, long enough for you to lose interest in everything in this world."

Eileen smiled at Id, her whole being radiating an indescribable composure.

"Well."

Id didn't refute anything. After all, he needed Eileen's help now, so it was best to say as little as possible.

"suck."

"call."

Seeing that the time was right, Id glanced at the adorable baby in his arms, took a deep breath, and looked up at Eileen, saying, "Eileen, it's not impossible for me to take care of your daughter! But before that, could you please treat my daughter first?"

"My daughter has a severe case of 'magic amplification syndrome'."

Yes, Ido brought up information about the "Devil Fruit" and agreed to take care of Irene's daughter, all in order to get Irene to help him treat Ultear's illness.
