"i...what are we meant to do now?"
by the side of the camp were the previous members of the butterfly guild, stood the butterflies.
yuri sat on the edge of the hill while dangling her legs off the edge, staring off into the sea. by the trees was lucy hugging her knees, yet to absorb anything that had just happened, but slowly...it had begun to sink in. gunafeng was crossing his arms and leaning against a bark of another tree, directly before lucy, hoping that his presence could bring comfort to the three girls.
by the side, [name] sat on the grass, legs crossed while looking down.
caelus was gone, no one knew how and no one seemed to care anymore. at least not [name].
they should have been prepared for this.
and yet...it seemed like a lot to take in at once.
erza atlas was gone.
the one piece was real.
and blackbeard...had stolen whitebeard's devil fruit ability somehow.
so much information all at once...it took much more than she thought to actually sink in.
a new era was about to begin, one more violent than the previous one.
and the center of it all...was straw hat luffy and red ribbon [name].
lucy's heart felt uneasy at [name]'s question, not sure what to do now. their guild master was gone, and they no longer had any protection guaranteed from the government's clutches. they were going to be hunted down soon, it was only a matter of time.

"...it's time we move on."
gunafeng questioned, "and how do we do that?"
"...by respecting erza-san's wishes."
she wished for all of them to stay safe, wasn't it?
the mere mention of her name and her wishes made tears rise to lucy's eyes.
"so you're the enchantress, huh?! haha, i bet everyone in the world government wants your head! let's strike a deal! fight for me and join my guild, and in return...i'll protect you, lucy!"
