Chapter 136

Coffin is the 136th chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

Full Summary
Deep into the Worth Woodsea, there is a place which is used by the Oracion Seis as their base of operations. The Dark Guild arrives, and Brain orders Wendy to heal someone. The members of the group do not understand the plan at first, but after he mentions Nirvana, everybody understands what he means. Brain, preparing for the worst, sends Hoteye, Cobra and Angel to look for Nirvana, while Racer is sent to get the unknown person. Happy demands to know what Nirvana is, and Brain answers, with “Magic that switches Light and Darkness”. Meanwhile, the allied forces split up. Lucy and Hibiki are left behind to guard Erza. Hibiki decided to, because he can easily assist the others in their path. Lucy on the other hand, is not confident in her skills, but Hibiki, being a gentleman, compliments her.

The next group is one composed of Gray, Natsu and Carla. She tells Natsu that Wendy went on this mission to look for him, because, as it turns out, Grandine, the Sky Dragon, disappeared the same day as Igneel. While looking for Wendy and Happy, they runs into a patch of dark woods, near which, the dark guild Naked Mummy stands. They declare war, and Natsu and Gray gladly accept, much to Carla’s frustration.

Elsewhere, Ren and Eve are ambushed by Dark Unicorn, while Jura, Lyon and Sherry meet with the Red Hood guild. Ichiya, now separated, stands against a dark guild alone.

Racer returns with a coffin in his hands. He thinks the transportation took too much time, but Brain commends him. He releases the chains of the coffin, revealing that inside lays none other than Jellal Fernandes. Wendy has an odd response to this sight, and Brain reminds her that he is Jellal, the man who saved her life.
