The manga begins with Fairy Tail characters Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia and the anthropomorphic cat Happy relaxing on True Island. While on the island, Natsu meets Shiki Granbell and Rebecca Bluegarden, the protagonists of Edens Zero. Shiki and Rebecca reveal that they came to the island in search of something called "Oasis". Meanwhile, Haru Glory has come with his friends Elie and Hamrio Musica from the universe of Rave Master to destroy Oasis.
