Sabaody Islands — Live Broadcast Plaza.
The massive public square was packed with tens of thousands of people.
Yet in that instant, not a single sound could be heard.
The silence was suffocating.
Everyone stood frozen in place—eyes wide, mouths hanging open—as they stared at the colossal broadcast screen before them.
Every viewer, from journalists to civilians, was trapped in utter disbelief, their minds unable to process what they were seeing.
No one could tell how long that stillness lasted—seconds, minutes—until finally…
"Ah…"
"Ahhhh—ahhhhh!"
A single shout broke the silence like glass shattering.
And then—
The entire plaza erupted into absolute chaos.
"He—he—he—!!! I—I'm not hearing things, right?!"
"That's Gildarts! GILDARTS!!!"
"And the blind swordsman Issho! And Jura the Iron Rock Mage!!!"
"They—they all called Fairy Tail's Guild Master—President Sugisawa!!!"
WOOOOOOAH!!!
"You've got to be kidding me!"
"The Gildarts Squad… they're Fairy Tail members!?"
"Wait—Gildarts, a man at the level of a Sea Emperor, is actually under Sugisawa Yuuto!?"
"This is insane! Absolutely insane!"
"Fairy Tail… just how powerful is this guild!?"
"Hurry! Contact headquarters immediately! This is a global-breaking event! This news will shake the entire world!!!"
Every reporter from the major news agencies went wild, shouting orders and scrambling to transmit the footage.
Even the Supernovas watching the feed were dumbstruck.
"Ha-ha-ha… I don't believe it," Haiming Skulachmanap muttered, his laughter trembling. "That Gildarts is Fairy Tail too? This is way bigger than when Golden Lion Shiki joined them!"
"Not just Gildarts," said Urouge, the Sky Monk, his grin fading. "The blind swordsman Issho, Jura of Rock and Iron—each one is a powerhouse!"
"Even if it's only three of them, those three could rival an entire group of Emperors," murmured Capone Bege, captain of the Fire Tank Pirates.
Killer Kira nodded grimly. "A squad that strong—under Fairy Tail? That's just terrifying."
"The alliance between Kaido and Big Mom is frightening," Trafalgar Law added coldly, "but compared to Fairy Tail… it's nothing."
"The strongest organization in history has just been born," said the stoic magician Basil Hawkins, his tone as calm as it was ominous. "We live in the same era as Fairy Tail—and in this era, there's no longer any hope for anyone else."
Kid's fist clenched, then slowly relaxed as his shoulders sagged.
"Not even the Marines or the World Government could stand against a lineup like this," he muttered, voice heavy with disbelief.
Naval Headquarters — atop the battlefield.
A thunderous wave of exclamations burst from both the Marines and the pirates alike.
"Hey, did you hear that just now!?"
"Gildarts—he and his group… they actually called Sugisawa Yuuto President!?"
"That means—they're Fairy Tail too!?"
"This… this can't be real!?"
"If it's true—then Fairy Tail is completely unstoppable!!!"
"Guild Master Sugisawa Yuuto was already an unbeatable force…"
"But now add Gildarts, who's as strong as a Sea Emperor, plus Jura and the blind swordsman Issho—"
"Fairy Tail is beyond anything the world's ever seen!!!"
Every Marine officer, every pirate captain—even the veterans of the Whitebeard Pirates—stood frozen in shock.
Marshal Sengoku's fists slammed against the table, cracking the surface.
"Damn it!!! How did it come to this!?" he roared, his voice echoing through the command post.
He had believed—
With the World Government's reinforcements, they might finally turn the tide.
They had prepared to face Whitebeard's might and Fairy Tail's interference together.
But never—never—had he imagined this.
Fairy Tail wasn't just strong.
Under Sugisawa Yuuto's command, it had surpassed even the legendary Rocks Pirates—the sea's greatest power thirty-six years ago.
As Sengoku's words faded into the chaos, a single truth reverberated through every heart on the battlefield and every broadcast screen across the world:
Fairy Tail, under Sugisawa Yuuto, had become the greatest force in history.
