So this chapter will give you all an idea how the journey through Alvarez will be for Team Natsu and just how different it is from when they went to Scarlione, Draconia or even Fiore.
My aim is to basically build lore where there is none and although I won't be able to explore every last inch of Alvarez I'll be damned if I don't cram as much as I can into the areas they do go so yes if you are a fan of massive explanations of lore and just random facts and other stuff this arc is going to be everything you want.
If you are a fan of action and fighting that won't be coming until the escape and even then it may not be what you expect though you'll understand when you read this chapter why.
Anyway enough from me enjoy the chapter!
I do not own Fairy Tail Hiro Mashima does.
Adapting To Alvarez
/Capital Of Alvarez – Vistarion/
Zeref walked out of his library and resealed it before moving back to his throne still in deep thought about the last two sentences of the passage when the door to the throne room opened forcing him to shove the thoughts aside for now.
The man that walked through the door had long white hair that hung loosely over his shoulders, he wore a strange outfit consisting of a long garment that was tattered on the edges with armor in the shape of a crown guarding his neck which also served to hold his black tattered cape. In his right hand was a thin staff with a strange crystal embedded into the top that hummed with magical power with each subsequent tap on the ground with his free hand stroking his long beard as he approached Zeref.
The King Of All Magic
2nd Shield Of The Alvarez Empire And General Of The Spriggan 12
The Human Saigai, August
"I am glad to see you have returned my Lord I am here as requested."
"And I appreciate it … August," Zeref said as the old man nodded.
"You seem both pleased and puzzled, I had hoped you had finally found the answer to Ragnarok but perhaps not …"
"No actually I did find the answer though in Ishgar they refer to it as the Dragon King Festival however I have decided on an appropriate name for what we shall call it that I will reveal at the meeting of Swords and Shields later this week."
"Ah that is most pleasant to hear my Lord, now then what can I do for you?"
"I am currently in the middle of a plan and I don't want you interfering no matter what happens," Zeref said as August raised an eyebrow. "This plan involves my little brother who will undoubtedly be coming for the foreigner who I have just imprisoned at Vistarion Minar."
"So what exactly is this plan of yours my Lord so that I don't accidently interfere?"
"Quite simply I suspect my brother Natsu will break into the prison to free Makarov Dreyar and flee Alvarez and I want this to happen."
"May I ask why?"
"I am doing this for two reasons the first being it allows me to test the security of Vistarion Minar which has come into question in the last decade but mainly because I want to confirm my suspicions about something going on with him."
"Are the other Spriggan and Leichart members aware of this my Lord?"
"Not yet August however if you do see them please tell them not to interfere because I will have Irene playing the pursuit role."
"I see let us pray she doesn't call down a meteor near a civilised town again."
"Yes that was rather … unpleasant," Zeref sighed. "Anyway onto other matters you are to remain within Vistarion and not pull that cursed month of August nonsense."
"I understand my Lord it wouldn't be wise to upset the staff and citizens at this time especially for what we are gearing up to do."
"Indeed it is vital that you control yourself and if you cannot you may leave the city and head to the forests outside the city limits to expel magic."
"Thank you my Lord," August said as he bowed his head.
"Now then you are free to go but if you see Wahl Eehto tell him to stop making fun of Irene's personal hobbies or else she will kill him."
"Understood I shall leave at once."
Zeref watched August leave as he sat on his throne with his thoughts once again returning to the book as he tried to decipher it once again.
/Natsu's POV/
Team Natsu had spent the better half of a day crossing the desert and were now coming up on the forested area Natsu had mentioned earlier, the walk was uneventful aside from a scorpion Natsu decided to pick up.
The scorpion was highly venomous however one look at Natsu and it freely let him pick it up and soon joined the group, the scorpion was only the size of his hand so it wasn't at all a burden for him to carry however the girls were all eyeing it in case it tried something.
Natsu just laughed off their concerns the whole way stating that the scorpion would've attacked him right away if it wanted to since that's how they usually do things, another fun fact he named it Tim.
Arriving at the edge of the forest Team Natsu and Tim the Scorpion stopped for a break at what Natsu dubbed the mini equator where the desert and forest was literally divided by a line.
"Ok so once we're in the forest remember to watch out for poisonous animals and insects."
"Are you really going to bring that scorpion with us like why did you even take it in the first place," Elise asked clearly not impressed with this display of stupidity from Natsu.
"Hey Tim can come along Elise he's not hurting anyone see," Natsu said as he motioned to the scorpion in his hand that snapped its pincers together a few times in agreement.
"Something seems off you don't normally act this dumb Natsu?"
"Hey that's cold Erza!"
It was then that Elise's eyes honed in on a tiny puncture mark in Natsu's hand which allowed her to put two and two together.
"I know why he's acting like an idiot the damn scorpion already stung him on the hand."
"Well wouldn't that mean he'd be dying then not acting like an idiot," Erza asked as Natsu began to laugh.
"You're silly Erza if one of these stung me the best thing you could do is get it as far away from me as possible then have Wendy drain the poison out of me before it affects my mind because poisons don't work the same on me."
Elise looked at Erza then to Wendy and the three nodded and pounced, Erza sliced the scorpion in half as Natsu began whining about it. Elise rather forcefully made him lay on the ground as Wendy placed her hands over the puncture mark and began drawing a purple liquid out of it.
Everyone was quite concerned as Wendy drew a rather large amount of the venom out of the wound which ended up accumulating into a large liquid ball the size of Natsu's head.
"How the hell did he get that much venom in him!"
"Who knows Elise but at least he was able to tell us in his own way how to get it out but I have to say isn't it weird how the scorpion went with him?"
"It did that because that's a part of the venom process," Natsu said as the last of the venom was removed. "That scorpion is known as a Confusik Redback Scorpion and the venom in their tail confuses the target into believing the scorpion is their ally until the poison kills them however that wouldn't have worked for me because I'm a Demon and I eat poison so I just got the confusion part."
"Such a weird creature, so are there any like that in the forest?"
"Oh loads probably the worst one is the Tri Horned Venoblas Hornet as its name suggests it has three stingers instead of one and each is loaded with a different type of venom for whatever it needs."
"I don't like this place," Wendy muttered as Natsu smiled.
"Just kill them before they touch you and you'll be fine."
"But one of them got you though?"
"Yeah and we don't talk about that now come on," Natsu said keen to change the topic as he got up off the ground. "Now then since I'm not acting like a five year old I'll explain what the mini equator is, as you can see there is a thin divide of nothing between the desert sand and the forest dirt floor and this is known as the mini equator."
"Is it possible for anything to grow there?"
"I asked someone that when I was here and they said not yet but the Government was working on it so who knows, anyway as you can probably tell each side of the mini equator is a different temperature with the forest side feeling much more like a tropical heat while the desert side just being that really dry heat no one likes. No one is really sure why it's this thin line that determines the equator but I'm sure it'll be solved one day, all right into the forest!"
"Get's stung by poisonous, mind manipulating scorpion and brushes it off," Elise sighed with a shrug as the group made their way into the forest.
/Vistarion Minar – Makarov's POV/
Irene walked at a reasonable pace for Makarov since he was rather short though his stature did nothing to cause her to lower her guard as she was fully aware of just how powerful the man in front of her was.
"I do apologise for this Makarov Dreyar."
"No its fine I honestly didn't expect to be allowed the chance to speak with Emperor Spriggan at all so for that I am grateful."
"Could you answer a question for me," Irene asked as they turned down another hallway towards another cell block.
"Of course what is it?"
"Do you truly have no idea where Natsu is?"
Makarov's face hardened at the question but he shook his head with a sigh.
"I can tell you don't ask for the sole purpose of doing him harm but out of concern however I have not seen young Natsu for five years, I hold little doubt that he will return to the world and bring about a storm that will reshape things as we know it."
Irene smiled at the man's words as she opened a door that led to an elevator and the two went up to the top of the facility, walking out of the elevator Irene walked past the secretary and into the office with Makarov in front of her to meet a figure who was sitting in a large swivel chair looking out over the prison.
"I'd heard that you were in my sector Irene and it seems you have brought me a guest no doubt a test from the Emperor himself, a deep male voice said as he turned around in the chair to face her with a grin.
Lord Of The Great Iron Chain
7th Sword Of The Alvarez Empire And Chief Warden Of Vistarion Minar
Yuriel Zenothes
Makarov was shocked to see that the person in the chair was not human but instead some sort of gorilla with the kanji for IRON branded into his left cheek.
"You must be the outsider otherwise you wouldn't have such a reaction to me, my name is Yuriel Lord Of The Great Iron Chain and this is my prison. I am from a species known as the Gortar and we come from the upper left hand of the Empire."
"I apologise for appearing startled it's just back on Ishgar we don't have any other real races aside from humans."
"That is quite alright human since you did apologise, now then Irene what are my orders from the Emperor?"
"He is to be imprisoned here because he knows too much information to return to Ishgar, under no circumstances is he to be mistreated and access to his magic is to be restricted to one fifteenth."
"You must be quite a strong one human I don't think we've had someone with that level of magic restriction in here for a long time, very well will that be all?"
"There is the matter of the upcoming meeting of the Swords and Shields since his Excellency has returned and I trust you shall be attending?"
"Of course I would never show such disrespect to the Emperor!"
"Good I was merely checking, again Makarov Dreyar I do apologise for this but the Empire comes first," Irene said as she tapped his wrists and magic seals appeared over them binding his use of magic. "I shall take my leave," she said as she snapped her fingers and disappeared.
"Alright now human sit down so I can build my profile on you," Yuriel said as Makarov nodded and sat in the chair opposite the Gortar warden. "Alright so firstly what is your name?"
"Makarov Dreyar."
"Country of origin?"
"Fiore, Ishgar."
"Magic?"
"Body Expansion Magic and Light Magic."
"Any notable way to identify your status?"
"One of the Ten Wizard Saints of Fiore," Makarov replied as the warden raised an eyebrow before writing something down.
"Ok now that should be all I really need the rest is just crap Invel wants us to do that I don't have time for, typical pencil pusher stuff I'm sure you understand. Anyway time to run you through how this place works because our prisons don't work like the ones in Fiore care to guess why?"
"Because you bound my magic using runes instead of locking me in a cell with runes etched to the walls?"
"Well you are somewhat right I suppose we bind the person rather than the cells because on the off chance you escape you can be collected easily since access to your magic has been limited to just enough so that you can live."
"That actually isn't such a bad idea to be quite honest."
The warden seemed pleased to hear that as he continued explaining.
"The real reason we are different is the way we handle things here, prisoners are not confined to their cells and are allowed to freely walk around the prison with the obvious exceptions of course. We allow this because the Emperor believes most to be redeemable if we can help them learn an important skill or role within our Empire that may be lacking and the success rate for this program has been 93.72% with the rest being murderers who wouldn't be given such a chance anyway."
"So basically this is more just like a forced training camp then rather than a prison?"
"In some respects after all we do get the occasional person who will be a prisoner like you who has to stay here for an unknown period of time, anyway back to the rules fighting of any kind will not be tolerated within these walls. If you fight with a prisoner you must be willing to prove either just cause or that you did not start the confrontation through one of our Mind Reader Mages who will review a memory of the incident."
"So what happens to those who are found guilty of fighting here?"
"If you are found guilty of fighting and it is your first offence you are confined to your cell for one day and warned not to do it again, offend again and you are confined to your cell for a whole week and won't be given three square meals a day. If you offend a third time then you will be brought to me and I shall decide a punishment which is normally a trip to the labour mines in the desert where you will work for a month before returning."
"And what happens if someone offends again after that?"
"That is a pretty rare case human but it has happened, if you come back from the mines and offend yet again then you will be deemed a lost cause. You will be transferred underground to the maximum security section of the prison where the murderers and rapists are and confined to a cell where you will be forgotten about by society like the rest of the trash down there."
"So what happens if someone kills another prisoner?"
"That has only happened once but it's worth telling you the consequences, if you kill someone here then you automatically forfeit your rights and your life. Murder is unacceptable and the punishment for it if you do such a thing in any prison under the control of Alvarez is that you are sent to the labs and used as a test subject for the betterment of the Empire. As harsh as it sounds if you crave the idea of killing others even while being locked up then you don't deserve to live."
"Alright that's all the questions I have on that and you don't have to worry about me killing or attacking anyone I have no interest in fighting people."
"Well that's good to hear but I enjoy proof more than anything, now then continuing on with the rules we reach the part about attempting to escape and we have different punishments based on being in the prison or at a labour camp when the attempt takes place. If you attempt to escape from my prison you will spend time underground no matter what, if you are one of the underground prisoners then you go to the live testing section. If you are at a labour camp and attempt to escape most guards will just kill you and save themselves the trouble of having to waste manpower and resources guarding you."
"Is there anything else?"
"Not really no just basically act like a decent human being and not like a savage and you'll do just fine here, don't go where you aren't supposed to go and don't try to escape."
"Alright then that sounds fair, so do I have a cell number or something?"
"Yes I'll have a guard escort you to the grounds and they will let you meet up with your cell mate, also since you are from another country keep in mind there are a lot of different races and species down in the yard so make sure you let them know you aren't from the Empire."
Makarov nodded as the warden pressed a button under his desk and an Alvarez soldier walked in and escorted Makarov out after the warden handed him a piece of paper.
"How interesting a man from Ishgar comes here this close to the invasion …. not a coincidence."
/Alvarez Forests – Natsu's POV/
Team Natsu had just cut their way through the forest trying to find some sort of civilisation but weren't having much luck, Natsu was being much more cautious however with the poisonous wildlife as he was with the scorpion that managed to sting him without his knowledge.
"How much further until we find something," Wendy sighed as she leaned against Natsu who was deep in thought trying to decide which direction to head in.
"Just give me a sec Wendy I'm trying to …"
"Couldn't I just fly above the tree line and have a look?"
"Probably not a good idea to use too much magic in case it attracts unwanted attention Wendy so I wouldn't do it besides it shouldn't be too much longer then we can take a break."
Sure enough after another half an hour of wandering through the forest they came across a dirt road and in the distance was a small town.
"See I told you guys," Natsu said smugly as Wendy just grumbled about being bored and wanting a nap. "I thought you were a big bad Dragon Slayer like me Wendy this should be nothing for you?"
"She isn't the only one who feels tired Natsu," Erza growled as Natsu raised his hands in defence.
"Alright fine I can tell when I'm outnumbered you guys are tired, come on just a little bit up this road. Also I should probably warn you there will be a lot of races you've never seen before so don't stare at them its considered offensive and I doubt they'll stop to hear us explain we aren't from around here."
The three women nodded as Natsu led them to the town which seemed to have a very environmentalist feel to it, the buildings were actually the trees themselves with the trunks somehow expanded to fit entire houses in them a marvel of magic considering only people like the Wizard Saint Warrod would be able to create similar things using plant life.
"Alright so we've arrived so feel free to take a break while I go to see how we can make some money," Natsu said as he received grunts in response and couldn't help but grin. "They trained for years yet can't handle a little walk heh."
Knowing that the people of Alvarez used a different language Natsu was thankful for his eyes as he read the signs until he found the one that was most likely going to lead to him finding what he wanted, pub.
Walking into the pub Natsu was glad no one turned their attention to him as he looked around, again he couldn't help but find himself fascinated at how well the trees worked as a building he'd have to ask Warrod sometime if he could possibly make something like this for him. Pushing those thoughts aside Natsu noticed a map and another person who looked to be a traveller looking at it intently, walking over to the person he tapped them on the shoulder eliciting a hiss in response.
"What isss it that you require human," a strange snake like humanoid asked as Natsu kept a composed face and filed away the idea of finding a book of races to better understand this place.
"Hi I was just wondering if you know what town this is and where it is on the map I'm kind of lost you see, I just recently came from Alastaria and I'm heading to Vistarion to meet with Lady Belserion but along the way I got into a fight with a Mother Confusik Redback and may or may not have gotten a little er sidetracked," Natsu said as he played up the bashful and slightly ashamed act.
"I ssseee that isss mossst unfortunate human and you ssssaid you were on an errand to meet with Lady Belssserion herself I would be honoured to help. We are currently here," the snake humanoid said as it pointed to a forested region that was situated near a mountain named Abanaca Town.
"Thanks for your help I can't believe I got sidetracked," Natsu said as inwardly he was freaking out.
On the map they were about as far away from the coast as one could get and more in the centre of the continent even though they clearly started at the coast.
'When they said they were tired I really shouldn't have talked shit we crossed a massive amount of land in no time at all!'
"My adviccce would be to follow the Kalandra Trail over the Ryordan Mountains it sssaves weeksss of travel."
'It damn well better or I'll get beaten to death before we make it to the capital!'
"Thanks for the advice friend I'm Natsu by the way."
"Ssssyander," the snake like humanoid said as he nodded to Natsu before walking out of the bar leaving Natsu to gaze at the map alone.
The journey would actually be shortened considerably if they went through the mountain however travelling up one that looked so big would require provisions of that he had little doubt, sighing he made his way over to the bartender who was a strange rhino looking being Natsu had only had the pleasure of encountering once the last time he was here.
"Something I can help you with stranger?"
"Yeah I'm looking for a little work to make a bit of money so I can buy enough supplies to cross the Ryordan Mountains."
"Well you picked a good time there's plenty of paying work in town since its harvest season, heard you have no idea where you are so I'll give ya a rundown. Abanaca Town is a plantation set up to grow the Babananas for the entire country," the bartender said rather proudly.
"So you need pickers then?"
"Like a horse needs drink you bet you wanna sign on?"
"I have three friends who are coming with me can they sign on too?"
"Of course we always need more pickers and if you do a full shift you get free Babananas on top of your pay!"
"Sounds great," Natsu said grinning whilst inwardly he was thinking what the hell a Babanana was.
Five minutes later with four massive bags in hand Natsu returned to the three who looked at him sceptically.
"What are those for?"
"We're off to pick some Babananas," Natsu said amused at their reactions. "Don't ask what it is I haven't the faintest idea I assume it's like a banana."
With the team equipped with the massive picking bags they set out towards the plantation indicated on the map the bartender gave Natsu arriving Natsu's eyes nearly burst from their sockets.
"Holy hell they're huge!"
In Fiore a banana was considered a decent snack at best, an averagely sized fruit stored within a yellow peel they had nothing on a Babanana. Hundreds of Babananas which were each bigger than a train carriage of all different colours sat waiting to be picked as an elderly looking man walked over to greet them.
"Ah hello there young ones I was informed by Janus he'd be sending someone over and you're all just in time they're getting on the larger side and need to be picked soon."
"Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to take the job your elderness is there anything specific you would like us to do with the Babananas," Natsu asked as the rest of Team Natsu's jaws hit the floor at the way Natsu addressed the old man something he never once did for even Makarov.
"If you could sort them by colour please that would be most helpful it helps the drivers out and the poor lads never seem to catch a break on these roads what with all the dangerous creatures about."
"Yes I myself had a run in with a Mother Confusik Redback which is how I ended up in town though it works out since I can do some work to get supplies to cross the Ryordan Mountains."
"My you must be a strong and able young man to fight a Mother Confusik Redback are you by any chance in the military?"
"Sadly no however I was trained by my father in Alastaria City who is a Commander for Lord Ajeel," Natsu said as the elderly man nodded clearly happy with the answer.
"Ah yes such a fine young man Lord Ajeel always keeps his province in check, there a particular reason you didn't join the military?"
"Father didn't wish for me to join so young so that he could train me in specific family arts though really I'm the messenger between Alastaria and Vistarion," Natsu said playing up the sheepish part as the old man chuckled.
"Oh yes I've heard of quite a few young lads like you being roped into schemes like that but fear not you'll be the better for it, now then I've taken up enough of your time my home is just beyond the Babanana patch please come find me if you need anything."
"Excuse me your elderness but I feel it rude not to ask for your name."
"Oh of course you've been such a polite young man and I haven't even offered you my name I am Freud a pleasure to meet you."
"My name is Natsu and these are my friends Erza, Elise and Wendy and I'm escorting them to Vistarion on the request of my father and Lord Ajeel."
"Well its lovely to make your acquaintance too young ladies, now then I'll be at my home if you need me," the old man said as he disappeared behind a pink Babanana and the three girls rounded on him with ranged expressions.
Elise who looked impressed was the first to speak up once she got over the laughing fits she was trying to quell.
"You talked so much shit and were able to keep such a straight face even I almost believed you!"
"Natsu why were you so courteous to the old man you don't even show the Master that much respect?"
"Erza you forget where we are in Alvarez the elderly are a cherished part of society for all they've done and I was showing the amount of respect that is expected to be shown, I hope you were all paying attention by the way since that is how you should speak with the elderly if you encounter them."
"Let's save the conversation stuff for later and focus on how to pick these massive things," Elise said as she poked the pink Babanana next to her.
"It's quite simple really you take a saw and cut the stem off here like this," Natsu said as he began sawing away at the stem of the pink Babanana until it was separated. "Then we just put the pink Babanana in this bag here and voila one harvested Babanana. Now then I've got the pink ones so you guys can figure out what colour you want to do, once the bag gets too full take the Babananas over to that marked spot over there I assume that is where they are picked up."
Natsu walked off into the Babanana field leaving the three behind to quickly decide which colours they would take, in the end Wendy got blue, Erza got red and Elise got yellow.
Natsu was actually enjoying picking the Babananas since it reminded him of a time when taking a job was simple and you'd just do something simple like pick a field rather than battle against villains out to conquer the world and it was also something that he could do that required little thought.
"Maybe once things settle down I'll take a few more jobs like this," Natsu mused to himself as he finished picking another Babanana placing it in the large bag. Noticing the bag was full he walked over to the area he indicated before and unloaded the pink Babananas in a heap.
Walking back into the field Natsu chuckled to himself as he found himself enjoying the task something which his young self would berate him for.
It took the group a little over an hour to pick all the ripe Babananas and place them in their respective piles, Natsu went and told the old man they were done much to his surprise as he made his way over to the piles and nodded happily.
"I must say you four did a spectacular job today you've definitely earned a Babanana each I'd say so go on take your favourite flavour!"
"Is it alright if we just take one of each your elderness?"
"But of course," the man replied happily as he wrote down a note and handed it to Natsu.
"Hand this to Janus to collect your pay and I do hope you'll come back again," the old man said cheerfully as he made his way inside once more.
"Alright well I guess its lunchtime and we're having Babanana so how do we wanna play this?"
They are way too big for us to take with us it isn't practical," Erza said as everyone nodded in agreement.
"Alright how about this we'll peel open each Babanana and see what they taste like, then Erza and Wendy you'll store some of the ones we like into your requip spaces so we can have some more later and we'll eat the rest now."
"Well I don't see any better idea," Elise sighed as Natsu drew his sword and began to run it across the edge of the pink Babanana.
Sticking his sword into the Babanana he began to cut out four pieces for the group as they sat down in the shade the Babanana provided and each took their first bite.
The four paused for a brief moment before looking at each other with wide eyes as Natsu slowly swallowed his.
"Does this taste like cotton candy to any of you," Natsu asked as they all nodded in unison.
"A fruit that tastes like a sweet, this place is really ahead of its time," Natsu said under his breath as he took another bite of the pink Babanana.
After getting through most of the pink Babanana and rationing the rest Natsu turned his sword towards the blue Babanana, just like the first Natsu handed out four pieces and they sat down to eat them.
"This one tastes like blueberry," Wendy said between mouthfuls as she was scolded by Erza.
And so the blue Babanana was promptly devoured and rationed as they moved onto the red one, after cutting it open and dividing it they each took a bite with Natsu looking at the piece in his hand in shock.
"It tastes like a hot dog what the hell!"
"Who cares this is the best one," Elise said as she tore into the red Babanana with renewed vigour ashamed that she thought she couldn't eat anymore.
And so with three Babananas down the group set their hungry eyes on the last one as Natsu advanced on it with his sword, cutting it open and dividing it the group took a bite and were stunned to find it tasted like caramel ice cream.
"How has Alvarez been blessed with such beautiful food," Natsu said through tears as he devoured his Babanana.
"We're finding seeds for these I don't care what any of you say these are worth every cent," Elise said as Natsu stood up with his mouth half full.
"Even if we have to work extra jobs to get them we aren't leaving until we have a hundred of every Babanana flavour," he declared before being hit over the head by Erza for talking with his mouth half full.
An hour later the group returned to Janus the bartender with the slip given to them by Freud and he commented on the variety of Babanana on their faces and burst into laughter.
"Nothing beats picking Babanana am I right you guys should come back in a few months there'll be more to pick and I'm sure Freud would love to have ya."
"We'll have to see what we can do because that was a great experience thanks for sending us over," Natsu said sincerely as Janus nodded and handed them their pay.
"Here's ya copper now I'll be seeing you all around," Janus said as Team Natsu left the bar.
"Well that was awesome but now what?"
"We have to buy supplies since I found a shortcut but we've got to cut through a mountain," Natsu said as the group nodded. "So let's go get these supplies and get out of here," Natsu said as the group disappeared off into the town.
What really is a Babanana? Why are they random in terms of flavours? Why are they so big? Where did I come up with the idea? I have no answer haha it just came to me and I was like this has to go in and now I kind of wish they were real.
Also Makarov gets locked up but our heroes are picking and eating Babananas RIP haha.
Also in regards to the many races that populate the Alvarez Empire I'll be showcasing a fair few of them but also Natsu will eventually find that book that explains a bit about each one so if you are interested in that then it's coming.
Anyway hope you all enjoyed and I'll see you in the next one!
