Next Chapter "King of Hades"!!!!! E.N.D IS COMING PEOPLE!! If not next chapter then maybe in a month or so. I just how that E.N.D is not Evil Natsu Dragneel, because that would be stupid. Plot Twist: It's Franmalth!

I am hoping maybe it could be Natsu's real father or something. Maybe 400 years ago he and Igneel were friends until Zeref turned him into his most powerful demon, E.N.D. After becoming a servant of Zeref, Igneel and E.N.D fought, and while both were neck to neck in power Igneel was stronger, but when he had a chance to kill E.N.D, he couldn't do it, thus allowing him to live. Remember Zeref's words, "you must also make that choice, to let live or to kill." 400 years later (about 24 years (17 years Natsu's age + 7 year skip) prior to present time) END banged some random chick and Natsu was born. Natsu then gets abandoned or mom dies, and Igneel finds him and after he sees the resemblance between him and END, decides raises him due to the bond he had with Natsu's real father. I feel that this would be good since this could build up on Natsu's character. Natsu needs character development other than fighting and nakama power.
