A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Wendy: "With Kirasan around, I feel safe and secure no matter where I go!"

"Hahaha... Of course!"

Kira stood with his hands on his hips, nose in the air, looking incredibly smug. He shamelessly accepted all the compliments from the beautiful women, while completely ignoring the praise from Eric and Gray.

"Do you think I'm just a figurehead, serving as the guild's intelligence officer and chief of staff?"

Gray muttered under his breath, "That's what you called yourself..."

Kira raised an eyebrow and scoffed, "So what if someone calls themselves that? Who dares to look down on someone in our guild who gives themselves a title? Erza even called herself 'Discipline Committee Member,' do you have a problem with that?"

How could I possibly have that?!

Gray instantly fell silent with a pained expression, unconsciously touching his head with one hand. He wasn't injured, but it still hurt.

"By the way, how long can your magic airship fly?"

Ultear, who hails from the 'Heart of the Devil', is the person who knows the most about magic airships among everyone present, besides Kira. She knows that the power of an airship is very important, and she also knows how huge the power consumption is.

Upon hearing Ultear's question, Erza and the others were taken aback at first, but quickly realized the seriousness of the matter.

You should know, this is no longer Aslant!

In this world, the ocean is so vast that if their airship loses power and they have no other boat, it's easy to imagine what will happen to them at sea.

The power source for the magic airship should, without a doubt, be magic power or magic crystals. However, in this world, magic power has been replaced by a kind of ambiguous energy. It is unknown whether it can continue to serve as an energy source. If not, then even if Kira has a sufficient amount of magic crystals stored, they will eventually run out.

Thinking of this, the group couldn't help but cast worried glances towards their homes.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Kira simply smiled and then gave them a confident look that said, "Don't worry, I already got the 'heart' technology from the second generation and used it on this airship! Besides, the energy in this world is almost the same as magic, so you don't need to worry about the power at all."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

The technology of the 'heart' is infinite magic. The magic airship, the former stronghold of the 'Heart of the Demon,' was powered by the infinite magic provided by Hades' heart. As long as the 'heart' is not destroyed, the magic airship will have an inexhaustible source of energy.

Kira then changed the subject: "Although we don't need to worry about energy, we can't just have one airship in this world; we'll definitely need a few more!"

After all, this airship can only fly in the sky right now. Although it can land and rest, it can neither run on the ground nor move on the sea surface, let alone swim in the seabed. This is a defect that it cannot avoid.

Besides, once I gather all the Fairy Tail mages scattered around the world, it will be a fleet of over a hundred people. At that time, I certainly can't squeeze so many people onto one airship. I'll need at least four or five large sailing ships of the same size as the Sunny.

With this number of people, plus the strength of everyone in the guild, even if they can't become the Pirate King, they'd be more than capable of becoming one of the Four Emperors or the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

Moreover, when Zeref arrives with August, Irene, and the others, he will definitely be on the same side as them. Who knows, he might become the Pirate King before Luffy?

With this thought, Kira felt a surge of heroic spirit: "Let's conquer this sea together, Hope!!"

Chapter 806 The World's Number One Swordsman? That's too arrogant!

Both are main characters, but Luffy is only 17 years old now, has just set sail, and his strength is still very shallow. He even had to put in a lot of effort to fight Crocodile. Natsu, on the other hand, is already 20 years old. He has experienced the ultimate form of bosses such as Dark Lord, Zeref, and Acnologia, and his strength is much stronger than at the end of the manga.

Therefore, Natsu is definitely stronger than Luffy right now!

"This match between One Piece and Fairy Tail is completely incomparable!!"

Kira thought of the fighting games he used to play on a certain digital website when he was in junior high school, such as 'Bleach vs. Naruto', 'One Piece vs. Fairy Tail', 'Fantasy Emblem', and so on, and couldn't help but feel a surge of passion.

Although the Straw Hat crew hasn't grown strong enough yet, and they haven't even gathered all the members, Killer isn't in a hurry. They'll grow stronger in the next year or two, and there will be plenty of opportunities to fight them later.

Since all the top-tier pirates and marines are still around, if I want Fairy Tail to become famous, I'll definitely have to fight those people, not go after Luffy.

In the future, Devil Fruits and Haki will not be enough to dominate the world; only magic will be able to rise above everything!

I'm going to be the Magic King!!

"Kira, who are we going to find now?"

Erza's voice rang in his ears, but Kira was engrossed in his grand ideals and had no time to pay attention to her. He subconsciously waved his hand, "Who knows, whatever..."

Boom-!

Hmm? My hand hurts! I think I hit something hard?

Kira turned his head and breathed a sigh of relief: thankfully it wasn't armor, just his head.

"Ahem... I mean, I can't tell either. When the navigation was installed, they didn't include the function to display magic ownership to save time and effort. But whoever it is, they're definitely from the guild. We'll find out when we get there!"

"..."

Erza could only roll her eyes at Kira's attitude towards things. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly sensed something and leaned out to look at the sea below.

"what happened?"

Kira frowned and also stuck his head out. His senses also detected something unusual on the sea surface below, though not as keenly as Erza's.

This isn't to say that Kira's perception is inferior to Erza's, but rather that people in this world don't use magic, so the feedback Kira receives through magical perception is significantly reduced compared to when he was in Aslant. Furthermore, the aura emanating from below is pure sword intent, which swordsmen like Erza would be more sensitive to.

Directly below the airship, on the sea, a wrecked sailboat was slowly moving forward. Kira stood on the airship, taking in the situation on board: a large group of exhausted, disheveled, emaciated, and dejected pirates!

But that's not the key point. The key point is the extremely simple wooden boat behind the sailboat, which can only accommodate one person. The sword intent that Erza sensed came from that boat.

To be precise, it came from the man sitting up there.

The man was about forty years old, wearing a black top hat and a black trench coat. He had hawk-like eyes, a small mustache, and held a glass of red wine in his hand. He had an elegant demeanor like a noble gentleman. Most importantly, he carried a huge black sword on his back.

One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Dracule Mihawk, nicknamed 'Hawkeye'!

"Wow! What a coincidence..."

"Kira?!" Erza raised an eyebrow, looking at Kira with some surprise. "You don't know him, do you?"

"..."

Kira was speechless. At that moment, he suddenly realized that Erza's occasional silly and oblivious behavior was not an act: "Didn't I just tell you about the information in this world? You've already forgotten?"

"He is Hawkeye, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

Erza exclaimed in a low voice, "The world's greatest swordsman?!"

"Hey, hey, hey... are you serious about that sudden gleam in your eyes? I know you use a sword, but you're not the kind of person who's solely focused on the way of the sword, are you?"

"I think anyone who uses a sword would be tempted to challenge someone with that title, right? It's exactly the same as your ever-present, subtle covetousness for the title of 'Magic King'!"

"Huh?! Did I make it that obvious?" Kira was taken aback and turned to look at Gray and the others behind him.

The group didn't answer directly; they simply turned to look at the scenery.

Kira: "..."

Meanwhile, Hawkeye, sitting on the small boat, also became very interested in the airship above him, and gradually forgot about the Krieg Pirates who had seen him rowing in the dark.

"A ship flying in the air...?"

"Could it be that legendary person?"

This ability to float an object, especially a ship this big, is something even Hawkeye, who has been adventuring on the Grand Line for decades, has only ever heard of in one person: Shiki the Golden Lion, a world-renowned pirate who once rivaled the Pirate King Gol D. Roger.

"That kind of dangerous figure would be in the weakest of the four seas, the East Sea?... Hmm... that doesn't seem impossible? I remember he used to be a great swordsman, didn't he?"

Shiki the Golden Lion, a user of the Float-Float Fruit, wields the famous swords Sakura-ju and Kuki. More than twenty years ago, he was one of the most renowned rulers of the seas.

Hawkeye couldn't be sure if the person above was Golden Lion, but even if he wasn't, he could just fight him.

With that thought in mind, he slowly drew the darkness from behind him.

On the other side, on the sailboat being chased by Hawkeye.

"Captain, that person seems to have stopped!"

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing the news from his subordinates, Creek, whose body was already on the verge of collapse, was overjoyed. He didn't know where the strength came from, but he stood up abruptly and strode to the stern of the ship. Sure enough, he saw the terrifying man who had destroyed fifty of his ships. He had stopped chasing him and was now looking up at the sky in a daze.

“It’s really stopped…” Tears welled up in Crick’s eyes and streamed down his face.

Just seven days ago, he was a great pirate with fifty ships, more than five thousand men, and lofty ambitions to dominate the world. He was known to everyone in the East Blue who lived at sea. But as soon as he entered the legendary Grand Line, he encountered a terrible storm.

The weather there was completely different from that in the East China Sea. One second it was sunny, and the next it was a storm. It was so strange that none of the navigators I recruited were of any use!

Having barely weathered the storm, they were suddenly confronted by a man rowing a boat with a large knife.

He had only made a few mocking remarks to him, but who knew that although the man's boat was small, he had a terrible temper. Without saying another word, he raised the black knife in his hand and slashed down. What was even more devastating was that this one slash directly destroyed his forty-nine ships, leaving only a few dozen crew members!

All my life savings have vanished, all because of that one laugh!

In that instant, Krieg felt as if the sky had fallen, his mind filled with endless regret. He regretted that he had been idly laughing at others, and that he had rashly entered the Grand Line without making adequate preparations.

The Grand Line...it's terrifying!!

Even such an ordinary man can destroy his entire fortune in an instant. Isn't that terrifying?

What is he looking at?

Krick was very curious. The other party had clearly come to take his head, the overlord of the East Sea, so what was it that had attracted his attention?

Following Hawkeye's gaze, Creek looked up, but because he had been hungry for several days, his eyesight was not very good, and he could only vaguely see what looked like a huge black shadow in the sky.

"What is it??"

Creek closed his eyes, shook his head, regained his focus and eyesight, and looked up again. The next second...

"puff--!!!"

"What...what is that??"

At that moment, Creek's face was filled with shock and disbelief. "Am I hallucinating from hunger? There's a ship in the sky?! Did you see it...?"

Turning around, he saw his underlings stammering, their expressions mirroring his own, as if their worldviews had been completely reshaped: "We...we saw it..."

hiss--!

Krieg gasped, thinking: He saw it? This means it's real! Didn't I already leave the Grand Line? How could I still encounter something so absurd?! ...Wait! That person drew his sword? Could he be trying to cut down that ship?!

On the magic airship.

"Is that guy declaring war?"

Seeing his opponent raise the Black Night sword high and unleash a terrifying sword intent aimed at his magic airship, Kira couldn't sit still any longer. "Such an impolite guy needs to be taught a lesson!"

I'm a mage from Fairy Tail, how can I put up with this? So what if he's the world's greatest swordsman? His counterpart, Dispel, is the continent's greatest swordsman! Am I really that arrogant?

"If you dare to declare war on us, then you'd better be prepared for the consequences!!"

Kira angrily pressed the button at his feet, and suddenly a small hole opened at the bottom of the airship, followed by the protrusion of a dark cannon.
