Chapter 2: Welcome to Galuna
The island was beautiful lush green trees, sandy white beaches, one of which Fairy Law was now beached. Natsu didn't waste any time he immediately ran and jumped off the bow of the boat landing in the soft sand
"Well what are you waiting for?" Natsu yelled back to his crew and he was soon joined by Gajeel, Grey, Happy, Elfman and Erza, the rest of his crew decided they would take the gangway
"Jet scout out the area" Natsu ordered
"Right" Jet said before taking off with his super speed however as soon as he left he came back
"Wow you must be getting faster" Natsu said
"No I found… I found a body right over there, I think he's alive" Jet said
"Natsu and the others followed Jet to the spot where he found the body, Erza quickly examined the man
"He is still breathing"
"Right, Wendy check his health" Natsu ordered
Wendy ran over to them and used her magic to examine the man
"How is he" asked Erza
"I don't know he seems fine but something doesn't feel right" Wendy said
Before she took off the long glove on his right hand revealing a scaly arm with claws at the ends of each figure, most of the crew gasped at the sight all except one
"Wow cool" Natsu said "where can I get one of those"
"I'm sure it's not cool for him" Lucy said to her captain
"Really why not"
"That doesn't matter right now" Erza said "Wendy is he stable" she immediately asked afterwards.
"As far as I can tell, yes" Wendy said
"Ok then, Elfman take him to the infirmary"
It had been about twelve hours since they found the man
Most of the crew members spent the day in the commons drinking or playing cards since Erza advised them not to scout the land till they interrogate the man. Currently Gajeel was leaning against the wall with Lily, Erza was talking to Mira at the bar, Jet and Droy were napping at a table, Romeo, Wakaba, Elfman and Macao were playing Hargeon Hold'em, Wendy and Natsu were talking about taking more time to train up there dragon powers, Levy and Lucy were sitting at a table reading books and Happy and Carla where also sitting at the same table as Lucy and Levy
"Read them and Weep" Romeo said showing his cards to his father, Wakaba and Elfman
"How are we losing to a kid" Wakaba complained
"Are you cheating" Macao accused
"Losing with grace is manly" Elfman proclaimed
Romeo just laughed as he won the sixth hand in a row
"Hey Carla you wanna fish" Happy asked trying to give her his freshly caught fish
"No I do not" Carla said rudely turning her back to him.
"Awe that wasn't very nice" Mira said giving Carla some milk before returning to Erza
"The he-cat just can't take a hit, it's not my fault"
Lucy marked her place and put her book down, looking at the book her friend was reading
"The Dragon Tamer?" Lucy asked "is it any good?"
Levy looked up smiling "Yeah it's great, it's got princesses and dragons and a big complicated love story."
"Really, sounds cool" Lucy said
"You can read it when I'm done"
"Thanks Levy"
"No problem, I really love fantasy stories with ogres, Dragons and stuff like that" Levy said happily
"Hey Shorty, Dragons aint fantasy" Gajeel complained coming up to them chewing on a piece of iron, with Lilly on his shoulder.
"Oh hey Gajeel" Levy said before Gajeel took the book from Levy's hands
"Hey give that back"
"I don't see your fascination with these things" Gajeel said waving the book around
"It's a good story, it has dragons in it" Levy said trying to convince him it was cool
"Dragons?!" Natsu said running over with Wendy following him.
"What about Dragons?" He asked excited
"Nothing just a dumb book" Gajeel Responded
"Oh man those things are stupid just a bunch of scribbles" Natsu complained grabbing Lucy's book
"You wouldn't think that if you could read" Levy said still jumping for the book
"Hey it aint our fault" Gajeel said defensively
"Yeah it's not nice to make fun of people just because they can't read" Natsu pouted
"I told you guys I would teach you to read if you wanted" Levy said finally getting her book back from Gajeel
"Yeah she's teaching me" Wendy said with a smile
"Wait you guys can't read?" Lucy asked
"Dragons don't exactly read Princess" Gajeel said
"I can teach you" Lucy said to Natsu
"No thanks, I'm not completely ill…" Natsu was cut off by Virgo coming from the infirmary
"Master the man you found has awaken as requested I am letting you now right away" She said to Natsu
"Um thanks, but call me Natsu or Captain" he told her, uncomfortable with being called master
"Of course Captain"
Natsu, Grey and Erza went into the Infirmary to meet this man.
They entered the room the man was sitting up in his bed looking around the room
"So you finally decided to wake up" Grey said jokingly
The man got out of his bed hiding his arm in his cloak
"So you're the master of the ship"
"Actually that would be me" Natsu said stepping in front of Grey and Erza
"Natsu Dragneel at your service, this is my first mate Grey Fullbuster and my adviser Erza Scarlet,"
"A pleasure I'm sure, I'm Bobo I want to thank you for saving me I don't know many pirates that would save a stranger"
"Well we couldn't just leave you" Natsu told the man
"If there is anything I can do, just ask" Bobo offered
"What happened to you?" Erza asked
"I was attacked when out hunting I think by a Navy patrol but they had never been here before"
"Why would the Navy attack you?"
"I assume you have seen my arm yes?"
They all shook there heads yes
"Well I'm a demon and unfortunately we are not very liked by the fiore government"
"Well how about some dinner? to repay us, you got a village around here?" Natsu asked
Bobo was a little confused that all this pirate wanted, was dinner but he quickly shook it off, if these people helped him maybe they would help the village
"Of course I will lead you there, I'm sure the chief will want to speak with you"
"Well than let's go"
