Natsu patted his round belly with satisfaction.

"Wow! I haven't eaten this much in ages!"

"You two are really not polite at all! You'd better try to avoid causing trouble in the future. If Erza finds out... ugh~~~!" Qi Yan shuddered.

Natsu's face turned pale instantly: "Don't say such scary things at a time like this!"

"Now he knows fear, hahaha!"

Qi Yan felt very happy to tease Natsu.

"Oh right, Fire Dragon said he was going to have a party on the ship, right? That ship, isn't it?"

Just then, Happy, who was walking on the seaside railing, saw a ship sailing into the distance and remembered that the man named Fire Dragon had said he was going to have a party on the ship during the day.

"Boat... ugh... I feel a little nauseous..."

Natsu felt nauseous the moment he saw the ship.

Suddenly, a girl's voice came from the side.

"Look! That's the ship, Lord Fire Dragon's ship! Ah~~! I really want to go to the party too!"

The girl's best friend, who was traveling with her, seemed unaware of her real name.

"Don't you know? A super powerful mage has come to our town, the very famous Fairy Tail mage."

Natsu and Happy were stunned and looked at Qi Yan, who shook his head.

Natsu's eyes changed instantly, veins bulging on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "That bastard... how dare he impersonate Fairy Tail!!"

"Harpy!!"

Happy immediately spread his wings, grabbed Natsu, and flew toward the departing ship.

Qi Yan didn't even have time to stop it.

"This idiot, has he forgotten he gets seasick again?"

He had originally planned to wait until the other party was far away before chasing after them and taking care of them without them noticing, but now he had no choice but to go for it.

"Full Body Absorption - Ulquiorra Cifer!"

A blue light emanated from Qi Yan's body, and his appearance began to change rapidly, transforming him into the form of Xiao Wu in the blink of an eye.

Qi Yan stomped hard on the guardrail.

The railing shattered, and Qi Yan's body flew rapidly towards the ship.

At this moment, on the ship, all the girls dressed up in their finest attire to attend the party.

Inside the cabin, Lucy sat dressed in a black evening gown, a fake smile on her face.

She met the man named Fire Dragon again in the park. Fire Dragon promised to take her to join the Fairy Tail guild she had always dreamed of, on the condition that she attend this party. In order to successfully join Fairy Tail, she agreed. After dealing with this idiot and joining Fairy Tail herself, she would kick this annoying guy away.

"Your name is Lucy? That's a lovely name."

"Let's have a drink first."

"Isn't it a bit unfair to leave the other girls alone?"

She didn't want to spend any more time with a guy like that.

"It's okay, it's okay. Right now, I just want to drink with you."

Fire Dragon snapped his fingers, and the wine in the glass slowly floated up, forming droplets.

"Please open your mouth, and the jewel of wine will slide down your throat."

Lucy inwardly groaned: How annoying!

This kind of trick might work on ordinary girls who don't know magic, but for her, it would only make her feel physically uncomfortable.

But there was no other way; she had to endure, endure, endure. Lucy closed her eyes and opened her mouth.

Lucy suddenly stood up, swiping the wine bottles away, and said with a grim expression:

"What are you planning to do? There are sleeping pills in the drink."

Chapter 51 Pay the price

Lucy's servants had taught her from a young age to be careful of bad people when she went out, and she was very familiar with the smell of sleeping pills.

"Get this straight, I want to join Fairy Tail, not become your woman."

Although she wanted to join Fairy Tail, she was willing to use her looks a little, but she would never give up her body for it.

"Haha, you actually found out. You're such a headache. You could have just fallen asleep and avoided all this suffering..." Seeing that her little trick had been discovered, the fire dragon simply stopped pretending and laid her cards on the table.

Just as Lucy was somewhat bewildered.

The curtain behind her was suddenly pulled open, and two large hands grabbed her arms, rendering her unable to move.

"Oh, as expected of Mr. Fire Dragon."

"It's been a long time since I've come across such good stuff."

Lucy then realized that a group of menacing-looking guys were hiding behind the curtain.

"What are you doing! Who are you people?!"

Lucy cried out in a bit of panic.

Fire Dragon gripped Lucy's chin with his right hand, a sinister smile spreading across his face: "Welcome to my slave ship. Behave yourself until we reach Bosco, little girl."

"Bosco...wait?! Fairy Tail?!"

"Didn't I tell you? This is a slave ship. From the beginning, I planned to take you away as commodities. Give up on that idea."

"Mr. Fire Dragon had long anticipated that the bewitched women would come to him of their own accord."

"It seems that charm doesn't work on this girl. Looks like I'll have to train her properly."

"Hey hey hey!"

The human traffickers around Lucy looked at her hot figure and all laughed maliciously.

Lucy panicked upon hearing this; she hadn't expected to encounter something like this so soon after running away from home.

Abuse of magic, deception, human trafficking—is this what Fairy Tail's mages are like? She felt her dream about Fairy Tail shatter into pieces.

"Let me brand you with the mark of a slave first. It'll be a little hot, but you'll be fine in a minute."

Fire Dragon took out a red-hot branding iron, preparing to brand Lucy with the mark of a slave, so that wherever she went in Bosco's territory, she would be treated as a slave.

Lucy gritted her teeth, tears of resentment streaming down her face: "Fairy Tail mages... they're the most shameless of all..."

Click!

The ceiling of the cabin suddenly shattered, and a figure fell from above.

"Natsu?!"

Lucy was shocked to see who it was.

"Is that kid from earlier today?!"

Fire Dragon recognized Natsu as the brat who had barged in during the day.

"Ugh...no, I feel so dizzy...uh..."

"Huh?! How useless—!!"

Lucy thought she had been rescued, but Natsu collapsed less than a second after appearing on the scene.

"What happened? How did this kid fall from the sky? Never mind, you guys go break his arms and legs, then throw him overboard to feed the sharks."

Fire Dragon commands other human traffickers.

The two human traffickers immediately rushed towards Natsu.

The cabin door flew straight in and crashed into the two human traffickers who were about to attack.

Two human traffickers screamed as their bodies were smashed through the door.

"Honestly, they knew they would get seasick, yet they still rushed over so recklessly."

At this moment, a figure appeared at the broken gate. Qi Yan, dressed in Ulquiorra's style and wearing a white robe, appeared at the gate.

"and who are you?"

One uninvited guest after another appeared, making the fire dragon somewhat irritable.

"Ugh! Qi Yan, save me!"

"Qi Yan?!!"

Lucy's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing Natsu's words. This person was Qi Yan? The change was too drastic.

Happy flew to Qi Yan's side and saw Lucy. He asked in surprise, "Lucy, what are you doing here?"

"Happy! I was tricked! He said he could get me to join Fairy Tail, so I came to the party. I never imagined they were a bunch of human traffickers."

Qi Yan tilted his head and looked at the fire dragon, a disdainful look on his lips: "Fairy Tail? You think you can take it?"

"What? Do you have any opinion?"

Fire Dragon raised his chin and looked at Qi Yan.

"Yes! I do have a problem with that! It's fine if you abuse magic, and I don't really care if you lie to people. Human trafficking is a matter for the Magic Council to handle, but you shouldn't have impersonated Fairy Tail to do these things."

"Impersonation?!"

Lucy was stunned by his words, her eyes widening as she looked at the fire dragon: "You're an imposter?!"

The fire dragon scratched its face and said disdainfully, "Huh? Who told you I was an imposter? What proof do you have?"

"Evidence? I'm standing right here, why would I need evidence? My words are the evidence. Since you dared to impersonate Fairy Tail and do something like this, are you prepared to pay the price?"

"Hmph! You brat, I can't be bothered arguing with you. Didn't anyone tell you you can't just board other people's ships? You lot! Hurry up and take him down."

Two burly human traffickers immediately rushed towards Qi Yan.

"Oh no!! Danger..."

When Lucy saw the human traffickers about to attack Qi Yan, she quickly warned them.

However, the two of them had just rushed in front of Qi Yan.

The two people screamed and were sent flying backward at an even faster speed.

The two men smashed through the walls of the cabin.

"what?!"

Everyone was shocked to see this; before they could even see what had happened, the two men were killed.

Fire Dragon said irritably, "You bunch of idiots! Don't you know how to use a gun?!"

"Ah! Yes!"

The traffickers immediately pulled out guns from the side.

"A gun?! Qi Yan, run!!"

Lucy's expression changed drastically when she saw the human traffickers pull out guns.

Bang bang bang! ! !

Many human traffickers raised their guns and fired at Qi Yan. Lucy immediately closed her eyes and turned her head away, unable to bear to look. She was afraid that if she saw Qi Yan's body being riddled with bullets in the next second.

Ding ding ding! ! !

All the bullets struck Qi Yan, making a clanging sound, and then bounced off.

"How...how is this possible?!"

Everyone who witnessed this was stunned. Someone could actually withstand bullets with their bare hands. Was this guy's body made of iron?

"Tch! As expected, a bunch of ordinary people are completely useless!"

"Red Flame Typhoon!!"

The fire dragon raised its hand and released a ball of flame that blasted onto Qi Yan.

"Qi Yan!!"
