Chapter 9 Fairy Queen Erza

The motorboat races fast on the vast ocean, causing impressive waves.

A girl with red hair, wearing silver and white armor, stands bravely in the wind.

Her name is Erza, also known as the Fairy Queen.

She was summoned by Su Yu, and she's a reliable and dedicated member of the Fairy Tail guild, just like Mirajan.

Right when Nami was surprised, Erza leaped and landed firmly on the ship's deck.

"I went on a mission to several islands, including Apple Island and Potato Town. I had to deal with bandits and even beheaded some Sea Kings and pirates. I successfully completed all our tasks, and this letter is just to let you know how it went."

Erza took the report seriously and also sent a bunch of feedback that was entrusted to Su Yu.

"As expected of Erza!" Su Yu couldn't help but praise.

"Great job, Erza! We can take a break now and relax." Mirajan smiled.

Erza nodded and shifted his gaze towards Nami.

Nami felt intimidated by Erza's powerful aura and couldn't help but tremble slightly.

She had heard of the title of Fairy Queen before, but seeing it in person was a completely different experience.

So far, she has personally witnessed it herself.

Nami had a strong gut feeling about how strong Erza was.

"Hey Erza, meet Nami, she's our new team member from Fairy Tail!" Mirajan made the introduction promptly.

"Ah, I'm aware already," Erza nodded.

The moment I laid eyes on Nami, I immediately noticed the Fairy Tail tattoo on her shoulder. That's a clear indication that she's a member of their guild!

"Hey there, I'm Erza, also a member of Fairy Tail. Looking forward to receiving more guidance from you in the future!" Erza extended her hand towards Nami.

"Sure thing, Miss Erza. I'm all ears for your guidance," Nami replied as she reached out to shake Erza's hand.

Following the short exchange of pleasantries, Erza's gaze once again landed on Su Yu.

"President, what's happening?" Erza asked as she presented a new bounty notice. It was worth 80 million and was for Su Yu.

Erza was confused and frustrated by the sudden appearance of the bounty notice for their family's president.

"Erza, let me explain to you," Mirajan interjected and proceeded to provide a detailed explanation.

"What?! What's going on? The Marines, who claim to be righteous, are joining forces with pirates? Such scum deserve to die a hundred times over, if not more! The president is obviously causing harm to others, so why is he being rewarded?" Erza expressed her outrage and frustration.

"Erza, this is just how the world works," Su Yu said, lifting his hand and softly patting the head of the fuming Erza.

"We just need to stay true to ourselves and have a clear conscience. The opinions of others don't matter," Su Yu added.

Erza nodded in agreement.

Without hesitation, Erza walked towards Nami again.

*Gulp* Nami nervously swallowed as she awaited her next move.

Suddenly, Erza approached her and placed her iron hands on Nami's shoulders, pulling her into a tight embrace. There was a loud bang as Nami's head made contact with Erza's sturdy armor.

"Ow, that hurts," Nami blinked her eyes as tears streamed down her face from the pain.

Despite the discomfort, Nami was more concerned about Erza's sudden actions.

"It's okay, Nami. You're a member of Fairy Tail now. Nobody will ever be able to bully you again," Erza reassured her with a serious expression.

Upon hearing those words, Nami finally understood Erza's intentions. It was her way of showing care and support, particularly given Nami's past experiences.

Although Nami was touched by Erza's kindness, she couldn't help but feel that her embrace was a little too tight.

As she touched the bump on her forehead, a mixture of pain and joy overcame her.

"Thank you Miss Erza, if you were a man, I might have feelings for you~" and Nami chuckled.

"Hey Nami, since I helped you defeat the dragon and rat yesterday, shouldn't you be in love with me?" Su Yu asked with a smile.

Nami replied with a cunning smile, "If you don't use this as leverage, I might actually start having feelings for you~"

Su Yu responded seriously, "Let's call it even and move on."

Nami protested, "Hey, you're not following the usual script. Shouldn't you say 'your debt is forgiven' here?"

Su Yu continued with enthusiasm, "The East Blue is behind us, now let's set our sights on the Grand Line!"

Nami interrupted, "Hey, don't change the subject!"

.....

Two days later, Su Yu and his group arrived at the end of the East Blue, the Town of Beginnings and Ends - Rogge Town!!!

As soon as the Fairy Tail docked at the port of Rogge Town, they caught the attention of the locals.

"Hey, look!"

"That's Fairy Tail!"

"Wow, I know them!"

"That guild is famous for helping people. They're like heroes!"

"Shh, you're outdated. Do you know what they did recently?"

"What do you mean?"

One person spoke up, "That man named Su Yu captured a Marine Base, and now he has a bounty of 80 million Berries!"

"What?! 80 million! He must be a dangerous criminal!"

"Absolutely, we should stay away and report to Colonel Smoker immediately!"

The rumors spread throughout the port and reached the ears of Erza, who became angry and was about to confront the people.

But before she could say anything, Su Yu stopped her and said, "The world can be ignorant, but we can still have a clear conscience."
