Fairy Tail’s Strongest - Chapter 99 Messing with Crawford

The next day Adrian left early to head to the guild and speak with Makarov. Where he had informed him of everything going on with the Dark Guild Tartaros, and how they were targeting the members of the council, and that they were then going to fire up ‘FACE’

Makarov immediately put on a serious expression and had all of the stronger Fairy Tail members head off to where the cube was located, where they would then meet up with Sabretooth, who agreed to alongside them, after hearing of their plans, and to thank Adrian for bringing Minerva back

Adrian knew how Minerva would feel after becoming a demon, as she had craved power, but after being defeated in the anime she realised that there was more to life than just that. Adrian decided to speed things up slightly and used Kotoamatsukami on her and erased the negative thoughts that she had before he gave her to Sabretooth

Adrian stood outside of the guild, in its training yard, and used his sensing abilities to find Crawford and then teleported over to him

‘Well well well…’ Adrian thought to himself as he watched Crawford in his disguise board a ship while having a few of his men bringing his luggage

“Hey be careful with all of that, what your carrying costs more than anything you or your families are worth!” Crawford screamed

“Y-yes sir”

‘It would seem that he’s trying to run away… can’t have that’ Adrian thought before a mischievous idea popped into his head. Adrian aimed his finger to the bottom of the ship and shot out a ki blast which created two holes, one where it entered from, and another on the other side from where it exited

Adrian then flew up into the clouds and watched as they set sail, thinking that they all made a quick getaway

—————-Crawford POF———–

‘God damn it! Everything’s been ruined by that bastard from Fairy Tail!’ Crawford thought to himself as he paced in his private room

Crawford was a simple man who only craved one thing…. Power. By joining forces with Tartaros, he believed that he would posses all the power that the Magic Council had in its grasp all to himself, as he’d be the ‘sole survivor’ of the attack, and would then be able to bring in his own people who would blindly follow his orders

However never once did he imagine that the anomaly known as ‘Adrian Knight’ would ruin all of his plans, and on top of that he saved all of the members of the council

Not wanting to be ousted to them, Crawford made the only logical decision he could’ve come to when faced against The Council, Tartaros and Adrian, and that was….. to run away

An hour into their trip

“Hey! Isn’t there any food on this ship!?” Crawford who was starving from their quick escape, exited his quarters and shouted out to the nearest goon, who was scared from the sudden outburst and replied “O-of course sir, I’ll be right back with some food” he said before he ran towards the kitchen and started telling the cooks to prepare something for Crawford

“Tch, I can’t believe I have to ask for food, they should’ve already served me..”

“Hey someone find out why we’re slowing down!” Shouted the captain of the ship, and a member of the crew then went to check the sails, and after seeing that they’re okay, went to check on everything else, and then headed underneath the ship to see if there was something wrong

TTSHSHHSHH

(A/N: I don’t know what a sinking ship sounds like so just imagine it in your head)

“W-whats going on” Crawford wondered in worry, as he saw all the men begin to run around and get to work, before one came up from below the deck who looked pale

“This isn’t good, we’ve got a breach in the hull of the ship, and there too much water in the ship, we’re gonna need to use the life boats to get off and head back to Hargeon Town!” One of the goons shouted, causing all the men to prepare the boats

“Wait what! We can’t do that! Just fix it then!” Crawford shouted back, as heading back was not an option for him, since he’d be dead if he went back

“No can do, the holes are too big, we’re carrying too much weight, and the ship is already filled with too much water. By the time we do finish blocking the holes, the weight of the water will have sent the ship down” said the goon before he joined the others in taking the valuables off the ship

“Grrrrrrrr….. Fine! We’ll abandon ship, but we can’t go back to Hargeon, anywhere else will do” He said grudgingly, before he packed his things and escaped on a life boat with a few other men

Since they couldn’t head back to Hargeon they had to make a trip to another port which was 5 hours away. Unfortunately all Crawford could do was watch them row, while he sat there and made sure that all of his things were safe

Up in the clouds Adrian saw this and had an evil smirk appear on his face

WATER STYLE: WATER WAVE JUTSU

As the members of the crew, and Crawfords personal goons were rowing they saw a huge wave appear, and was heading straight for them

The only thought they had in their head as they were shedding tears was ‘Which devil cursed us today!?’

Crawford meanwhile stared at the wave with tears as he was also wondering why he had such bad luck today, and was then hit by a wave which threw off all of his things

“NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!”
