While Lucy and Brandish were taking a bath in the bathroom, and they might start a fight, or they might not start a fight, the Magnolia town where the headquarters of the Fairy Tail was located was attacked by the Alvarez Empire.
The ones who led the attack were three members of the 12 Spriggan, who were the 12 strongest magicians of the Alvarez Empire.
Those two magicians were Wall Ehto and Ajeel Rahml.
Brandish should also join their group, but she moved by herself since she needed to meet Lucy, someone who held a connection with her mother. Still, it might be because her state had been quite sluggish that she was easily caught by Lucy and Cana.
However, even if Brandish was caught, the three members of the 12 Spriggan wouldn't stop their attacks.
The first person who attacked was Ajeel Rahml, who was on top of the flying ship and was about to wreck the Fairy Tail from the sky.
However, Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy, three Dragon Slayers of the Fairy Tail, wouldn't let that happen, and with their cats, they flew to the sky and were about to stop Ajeel, but as they landed on the flying ship.
"Ha! I have been waiting for ---" Ajeel showed an arrogant smile while thinking about the exciting battle he was about to face, but the three Dragon Slayers directly fell to the ground as they puked.
"....."
"What the hell are you doing?!" Ajeel thought that there would be an interesting battle, but he didn't expect that it would end so quickly, which made him disappointed. He could only sigh and say, "Well, I'll just end you all." While it might sound cruel, they were in the middle of a war, and the power of the Dragon Slayer was powerful, so while there was a chance, it wouldn't be bad to end them.
However...
*Swoosh!* *Swoosh!*
Half of the flying ship was destroyed, and Ajeel quickly jumped back, avoiding this attack, while watching the attacker who attacked his ship with a maniacal smile. "Hahaha, finally, you have come!"
Erza was in her flying armor, looking at Ajeel with a serious expression, holding two swords in both of her hands and twelve swords floating around her surroundings. "I will protect my family! I will stop you!"
"Ha! Let me see whether ---"
However, before Ajeel finished his words, suddenly, someone slammed into him directly and caused him to fly away directly.
"AJEEL!"
The group of people quickly shouted in worry when they saw Ajeel was knocked out by something. After all, unlike the rest of the members of the Springgan 12, Ajeel was royalty, and if it wasn't because of Zeref, then Ajeel would become a king, which was why they couldn't let him die.
However, before they were about to do anything, they were knocked out one after another, and all the flying ships in the sky fell directly from the sky by an irresistible force.
The process of the battle was extremely fast, and it only took a moment for all the flying ships and all the armies of the Alvarez Empire to be defeated.
Still, Erza, who was about to fight Ajeel, was stunned when she saw Korosensei suddenly appear in front of her. Of course, she remembered who Korosensei was. After all, his feat was extremely famous, especially when he had asked Juvia for a kiss during the Grand Magic Games in the past.
"You're ---" Before she finished her words, she was cut by Korosensei.
"Ah, sorry, I have a girlfriend, so I can't accept your confession," Korosensei said shyly.
"....." Erza.
"We have resolved this matter. You should gather up on your guild," Korosensei said, then left directly.
"...." Erza's lips twitched, but at the same time, she sighed in relief, thinking that they had a reliable ally.
However...
"Wha---?!"
Erza was dumbfounded when the ship that she was standing on suddenly fell from the sky with rapid speed, but when she was about to escape, she realized that her body was extremely heavy, as if she was pressured by something. She couldn't escape, and she was about to fall directly to the ground. She knew that if this continued, then she might turn into mincemeat and move all of her muscles and magic to escape, but she couldn't.
"Move!"
Erza screamed while screaming toward Natsu, Wendy, Gajeel, and three flying cats who were also affected by this force. However, no one could escape, and they were about to be slammed to the ground, but when they thought that they would die...
"Kouha, there's someone from the Fairy Tail there," a girl suddenly said.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot."
Suddenly Erza and everyone who was on the ship felt all the force that had pressured them had disappeared, and they could move freely, and their breathing also returned to normal. They quickly turned their heads and looked at Kouha, whom they hadn't seen for a while.
"It has been a while since we have met each other, but you are still this weak, huh?" Kouha said boredly.
"......."
Erza thought that everyone from the Infinite Guild was a reliable ally since they were all strong, but then again, she really wanted to smack this guy's head right now.

When Ajeel was defeated, Wall Ehto, who entered Magnolia from the harbor, also moved to the Fairy Tail with an army of mechas, attacking everyone along the path, but then Laxus, three members of the Thunder God Tribe, along with Ichiya, fought them with all of their might, but even so, they had trouble, after all, Wall Ehto was a mecha, so none of the magic from the Thunder God Tribe members were working on him. The lightning magic of Laxus and Ichiya also didn't work either on Wall Ehto since lightning strengthened his body instead.
Laxus decided to become serious, but then a familiar voice that had caused his nightmare in the past was heard.
"Gomu Gomu no...
"Pistol!"
The body of Wall Ehto, which couldn't be broken by their punches and magic even though they had attacked his times, was destroyed instantly by this punch.
*Baam!*
*Crack!*
The body of the Wall Ehto turned into junk, and the earth cracked hundreds of meters.
"......" Laxus, three members of the Thunder God Tribe, and Ichiya.
Ichiya stood silly and had snot on his nose, but he didn't care about any of that since the damage that was caused by this punch was too big, right?
"Hey, sorry, are you alright?"
They turned their heads and saw Luffy's silly smile.
"......."
Somehow, even though Luffy and Ichiya showed similar silly smiles, Luffy was so handsome at that moment.

Brandish was caught, and she was put in jail inside the Fairy Tail. She lay there lifelessly with her hands and feet being handcuffed, which made her unable to use her magic. She let out a sigh and just felt tired at that moment. She thought that she could see him, but she couldn't.
'It has been a year...'
Brandish's eyes reddened, and she felt something wet from her eyes, but she couldn't wipe it since her hands were handcuffed.
'Where are you?'
Brandish thought, but then...
"Lady Brandish..."
Brandish heard a murmur, and when she turned her head, she saw her subordinate. "Marin?"
"I have found you at least," Marin said with a bright smile, showing a gentlemanly gesture.
Brandish only looked at Marin lazily and said, "Hurry up and release my handcuffs ---" However, before she finished her words, Marin suddenly choked her neck. "Cough!" She couldn't utter any words since her throat was blocked. She couldn't breathe, and then tears and saliva came out uncontrollably because she was unable to breathe. "Agkh!"
"Hehehe, I have had enough of your treatment on me. Heh... Heh... and for that, you have received a failing grade, darling~~."
Brandish couldn't talk and couldn't breathe. The oxygen inside her lungs dissipated rapidly, and she knew she was going to die. 'Haru...'
Marin smiled and felt happy that he could kill Brandish, but then something hit him and caused his entire bones to shatter directly but then when he was about to see the person who almost killed him, his entire body turned into vapor before turning into dust, disappeared into the air.
But even so, the impact of the attack didn't disappear.
*BOOOOMM!*
The entire building of the Fairy Tail was shaking several times because of this force which caused everyone to be startled and need some support to stand up.
"Cough! Cough!" Brandish, whose neck was released, coughed several times and had a hard time breathing because of her coughs, but she kept staring at the man that had saved her, wondering whether she had a dream, but when his hand touched her hand, she knew that he was real and this bastard had come to save her.
"Sorry for being late."
Hearing this voice, Brandish ignored his words and directly greedily sucked the oxygen from his mouth.
"......." Haru.
Haru caressed Brandish's back as he released the handcuff that trapped her.
When her hands and feet were released, Brandish directly hugged Haru like an octopus and hugged him so tightly that he wouldn't escape from her.
Still, as Haru and Brandish kissed each other, Cana and Lucy, who were startled by the forces that shook the entire building of the Fairy Tail, quickly ran down to the jail where they kept Brandish, but they would have never expected that right now, Brandish and the man that almost stole their hearts were kissing each other.
"........"
'What's happening?' 2x
Lucy and Cana thought at that moment.
