It's not like he pulled it out of his ass, he had it planned from at least the panel earlier in the arc where we saw the same frame of the boy staring at the sea (Romeo?) back in 234 (I think that was the chapter anyway, give or take a few), plus all of lucys commentary about the battle that we get every arc that suggested something would happen.
It's about time we had a manga where the time skip was forced on them and not just some bs because they could randomly choose to wait x years to train and no-one would even think of looking for them.
Reread the chapter and makarovs crying when he realized that his "children" had come back to protect him, after he spent the entire arc trying to protect them and not being able to do so, and that he was ready to die to protect them kinda got to me. Well played Mashima.
