It's Romeo, Macao's son.

I don't think it's macao's son. 7 years after and he is still a young boy?
i think he is zeref in a child form, maybe he has a magic that can do that remember they said he is the most powerful dark wizard in fairy tail, and why he know natsu maybe because zeref is also a dragon slayer and he's mentor is acnologia.

oops sorry not fairy tail in earthland i mean.

uh.... yeah... there's no mistaking that it's Romeo. In terms of height I'm sure that it's just art perspective.

romeo? i don't think so. if romeo is the child staring at the sea it has no impact at the story he doesn't mention to have any potential to become a great magician. if zeref is the boy that would explained everything why he know natsu.

where did you get that pic?

Chapter 234 Last Page. Here's a Link or preview: (NOTE: If you read the earlier pages you can tell how ominous the narration feels (whether it was Lucy's or not))

http://www.mangareader.net/fairy-tail/234/19

AND as Fai mentioned, if you look VERY CAREFULLY at the newspaper you can see that it is year X791 (Seven years after the Acno incident).

So many sevens.....

777-07-07 - the disappearance of the dragons.
777 - Lucy's mother's (apparent) death.

WHAT A TWIST!!

so, some people already speculated about this weeks ago? guess i should come here more often ~w~ anyways, this'll make quite a change of pace, Im guessing that's Romeo there and he'll go searching the missing Fairy Tail members...

I just hope they don't age, or at least Wendy doesn't >w> can't lose the only loli in the series D:

Not to mention that unless Zeref ages backwards, in no way in hell would him being zeref make any sense at all.

I suppose :
1) that girl was something like " Tenryu islands fairy " ( Makarov once said that at the island there were living fairies )
2) a boy in the end, he looks like Natsu's child. same clothes, same place of FT mark, also has scarf . . . BUT his hair is somehow like Zeref's or Gray's.
3) disappearance of dragons is linked to this black dragon
4) maybe its black dragons fault that Lucy's mother disappeared or died

Pretty crazy how Fairy Tail is a super-generic, easy-to-call manga... until now. I can't believe what happened. Excited to see next weeks double-length chapter.

i liked these two ideas. but the first might need a bit of changing. i think the disappearance had something to do with the dragon king. but i have nothing to prove it

It looks like black dragon wanted to destroy whole Tenryu island and Fairy Tail guild , but this " Fairy of island Tenryu " moved island with people on it in the future for 7 years
( Looks like 7 is Mashimas favorite number O___O )

Holy... What's this.

So the boy is romeo. Most of powerfull member of FT died (or at least gone). And fairy tail is likely to be disbanded. Cant wait for next chapter.

Let's sleep for a better future.

A year.

however considering the amount of wtf that happens before it

, the effects of timeskip are far grander than longer timeskips in other fictional works.

Then a whole arc of story focuses on

The closest in length I can remember is the timeskip in Claymore(7 years) and timeskip in 666Satan(was it 4 years? can't remember exactly).

i though the 666satan was was 2...well i guess now i have a reason to read it again :p
also i forgot about claymore's 7 year gap. anyway fai, think Romeo will be the one to round up the "lost" FT members starting with finding natsu and lucy first?

Can't remember exactly on the length of 666Satan timeskip(especially considering it sort of had multiple ones, since Jio went from around 13 year old to 23 or 24 years old or something through entire series)

As for natsu, that depends.

pure logic of shonen genre indicates him to be the last person to rejoin or be found so he can do a heroic entrance saving everyone. Also if Mashima continues to take notes form FF6 plot, Lucy might not exactly want to be found nor to return.

The best bet is that FT members mos tlikely got separated and possibly somehow teleported/sent to different locations during explosion by that girl(who, my bet,is Mavis, the first guild master and an actual fairy)(which pretty much equals the ship exploding just before timeskip in FF6)

--------------------------------

Frankly what interests me more is the state of the world ft world is in now:
- Makarov, the only person keeping council away from FT guild disappeared. As well as all the strongest FT members.
- Tenrou island is gone, done in by a dragon no less.
- Zeref is alive and doing god knows what for 7 years(with what he implied, nothing good)
- There's a giant black dragon of apocalypse floating through the world ever since Gildartz encounter, doing god knows what
- The Council has taken an utterly aggressive stance against Fairy Tail already with the new leadership.
- Lucy apparently played some strange role in this whole timeskip.

- No matter how I look, I would not be surprised now if Council has labeled FT a "dark guild", since frankly theere's nothing and no one to protect them from Council with makarov's disappearance.
- Lucy's interesting role. Hm. What if she is the one teleported to the unusual place? Spirit world? The place Dragons were seen talking in? Last arc has been hinting VERy heavily at her mother's backstory so I bet we will get that in not too long, or at least bits of it.
- Cana has got to grown more powerful. She just gained one of strongest magic abilities and a TON of character development. you do not do that for character you don't plan to use.
- Makarov is a wild card. On one hand he might still be alive, on other hand he was already an old man with health problems and got beat up a lot, so I would not be surprised if he has passed away during those seven years peacefully.
- The world is mos tlikely in very dark place. No matter what one thinks about FT guild, FT guild was part of the power balance and had a lot of heavy-hitters. With most of it gone and Ft possibly being disbanded by council, there's bound to be a power vacuum.
- Zeref is intent on bringing upon a new age. Also the other two members of GH are alive and spared by him it seems. Would not surprise me if they joined him. No idea what will happen or what he wants though..

------

EDIT:
Oho ho ho ho ho:
Mavis m(a)-vis as a girl's name is pronounced MAY-viss. It is of Old French origin, and the meaning of Mavis is "song thrush". The name was first used in English by Geoffrey Chaucer (14th century), author of "The Canterbury Tales".
Mavis is a female name. Its usage was initiated by Marie Corelli's 1895 novel The Sorrows of Satan1 which featured a character named Mavis Clare whose first name is said to be "rather odd" but suitable for Miss Clare as "she sings quite as sweetly as any thrush".[1] Corelli patently was utilizing the common noun mavis2 which refers to the song thrush and was long obsolete by the 19th century but known from its poetic use as in Robert Burns' Ca' the Yowes ("Hark the mavis evening sang/ Sounding Clouden's woods amang") written in 1794[2]; also the popular love song Mary of Argyle, written circa 1850 by lyricist Charles Jefferys features the line: "I have heard the mavis singing its love-song to the morn."[3]

I think that those 7 years were 1 second for Tenryu island and Fairy Tail guild
And what about Jelal will he be still alive? I suppose he will play a huge role when FT returns "__"

i agree with this, i had been thinking this for a while since the area where Romeo is looks kinda abandoned. maybe the dragon has been busy these past 7 years blowing stuff up
but if your right about Lucy not wanting to join but, i'm failing to see a reason why she wouldn't unless she learns something during the timeskip about the dragons and her mother which makes her scared and not wanna get involved
the above statement would kinda work well. i kinda noticed that when i was writing it. If its done like that, then when FT is back together, we have a valid way of starting to uncover part of the mystery to this whole series.
I'm not saying Lucy would learn all of the truth, just enough to make things more interesting. so maybe something like, following the memory she remembered during that fight*. cause that was never explain what happened there
*the fight against Fairy tail's 2nd master(i'm bad with some names ;___;

Maybe you could start with "Why you think lucy have a apparently special/ abnormal role in FT/ last time skip?"
I mean, where do you get that idea. She is on that island too right.

Owh i remember something like that ^^
thanks everyone for explaining
I'm looking forward to it when it will be revealed ( something about Lucy and her mother ) come to think of it she hadn't mentioned the reason of her mothers death O...O

We believe Lucy's mother is a dragon, which would make Lucy half Dragon, half Human. reason's below

Fai said:
Lucy's mother disappeared same year as dragons did.
This arc we got implication that Lucy's mother had a big knowledge on the whole magic of one thing, as well as importance of seven, which is so far strongly connected to zeref and dragons.
We have strong background on how Lucy's father met her mother, but nothing from her mother's side.
We know Lucy will play "huge unexpected role in this event" as her ominous narration at the start of this arc suggests.
So far this manga has been strongly based on Final Fantasy 6 (like Rave was on FF7), this places Natsu into role of Locke and Lucy into role of Terra. Which pretty much makes it clear too.

EDIT: lol, didn't know Fai had all ready answered >.<
anyway, theres some more reasons and well as a few more answers

At the end of the chapter there is a strange girl (fairy ???) who starts to pray. It can thus they will be moved 7 years in the future and will be stronger as wrote Harlot? I hope so.

Well, almost forgot about that, chapter 201 right.
I think what she meant about "i will be participating this event in a suprising way" by become Cana's partner and then fought Hades and other. Or is it something grander?
The one about magic of one, is really interesting though. Maybe her mother was one of ten wizard saints.
