A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Kira and the others gasped in shock: Gray, you... why are you blurting out such obvious truths?!

"I don't want to!!" Lucy's cheeks flushed slightly, her chest heaving with anger. She felt both ashamed and resentful; she didn't want to be just a maid on a ship!

"But your magic doesn't seem to be very effective for navigation..."

Lucy pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I can have Rocky provide light at night!"

Rocky: ? ?

"Oh my god!! This is an angle I never expected at all?!"

Kira was genuinely shocked this time, and even Lucy smiled: "Right, right?? I'm still quite useful, aren't I?"

But before she could finish speaking, Kira's surprise vanished, because he realized why he hadn't thought of this angle before: "We have crystal chandeliers on our ship! We don't need Loki for lighting at all, okay?!"

Lucy's smile froze on her face, and the light in her eyes dimmed. She then quickly turned to Rocky, covered her mouth with her hand and cried, while casting a pitying look at Rocky.

Rocky: ? ?

Even though nothing was said, it feels like everything was said, which is really annoying!!

"Aaaaaah!! Am I really only left with jobs like being a maid on a ship? No way!!"

Lucy screamed, clutching her head in her hands, racking her brains to find her strengths. After much thought, she realized that her greatest talent seemed to be her honey trap, which had never worked before.

That's outrageous!!

"No, no... there must be other aspects!"

The thought that she might have to wear a maid outfit every day on the ship, serving tea and water, massaging waists and legs, made Lucy's expression visibly panic: "By the way, I have Pixis. The Protoss of the Compass constellation can determine direction in the presence of a strong magnetic field. This must be very useful for sea voyages, right?"

Lucy, being well-educated, quickly grasped the key point, but unfortunately...

"Once you reach the Grand Line, the magnetic field is completely chaotic. You can basically only navigate between islands using a log needle; the compass might not be very useful!"

"And then there's Lyra (Lyra), she can play the harp and sing, and the atmosphere is also important when sailing at sea, right?!"

"Lyra...you don't summon her very often in the guild, do you? Mira is much more popular!"

“Sachdarius…”

"Naval battles here are fought with cannons and pistols; arrows and the like are outdated!"

"Uh... well... and Keisha!! When sailing at sea, we usually only get to go ashore once in a long while, right? With Keisha around, we won't have to worry about getting haircuts!!"

"You've really run out of ideas... You even have the nerve to bring up something like getting a haircut..."

Lucy puffed out her chest haughtily: "Just tell me if you need it or not?"

"Hmm... okay."

Kira thought about it for a while and then agreed. After all, getting a haircut is really important. It's not easy to find a barber while sailing at sea. Moreover, Keisha's hairdressing skills are indeed very powerful. So powerful that even if a person is bald, theoretically, no matter how hard they try, they should not be able to grow hair. With just a gentle comb and a light snip of the scissors, he can make the hair grow back.

No matter the length of the hair or what the hairstyle is, there's nothing Keisha can't do. Her skills are truly top-notch in the hairdressing world!

"When it comes to hairdressing alone, among all the people I know, I would call Keisha the best!"

"I'll accept you then. From now on, you'll be our ship's barber!"

Chapter 810 Erza: Kill them!

Yay! I finally have a proper job on the ship!!

Upon hearing Kira's confirmation that she was now the ship's barber, Lucy was overjoyed, but a moment later she realized another serious problem: "Wait! What's the point of a proper job??"

Kira answered truthfully, "It would be a bit cooler."

Lucy immediately flew into a rage: "So you're completely useless?!"

"There is also a fixed share after each acquisition of treasure."

"I'm sorry!! I spoke a little too loudly just now!!"

"You change your expression really quickly..."

When it comes to money, isn't it normal for people to change their minds quickly? If it were you, you might change your mind even faster than me! Besides, didn't you say that 'girls can change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book'?

Lucy muttered a curse under her breath and pressed on, "By the way, there's a profit-sharing arrangement..."

"They're here!"

Before Lucy could ask her question, Kira interrupted her directly. Lucy seriously suspected that Kira was doing it on purpose, but when she turned around and saw that the group of fishmen had actually appeared, she began to wonder if she was being too sensitive.

Previously, apart from a few small fry who stayed behind in the park, the rest of the fishmen had gone out to sea. The group of fishmen who just returned were carrying large and small bags of things. If nothing unexpected happened, they must have robbed a passing ship.

There were no prisoners, and one can only imagine the fate of the people on the looted ship.

"Damn it!!"

Looking at the dozens of wet cloth bundles piled on the ground, Kira's sky-blue eyes seemed to be filled with some kind of symbol representing money. "How dare you commit evil deeds on human territory! If you don't die, who will?!"

Everyone: While that makes sense, can you explain what the Pele symbol in your eyes means?

After all these years together, this was the first time they had ever seen Kira look like that.

Could it be that this world can change people's art style?

Gray suddenly looked at Kira and asked, "What are we going to do? It shouldn't be that easy to drive them out, right?"

Over the past few days, they have come to know that the mainstream of this world consists of pirates and the navy. Pirates are equivalent to the Dark Guild, the navy is equivalent to the Council, and the small number of bounty hunters are equivalent to the Light Guild.

The Council is at most a bit weak and stubborn, but in reality, the people in it aren't bad. However, according to Killer's previous description, there are many people of low character in the Navy, especially in the lower ranks, who collude with pirates and prey on the people. So, for those pirates with powerful backgrounds, defeating them is only a temporary solution. Even if they are sent to the Navy, they will eventually be released.

"No doubt about it, just kill him!" Kira's voice wasn't loud, but his attitude was firm.

This startled Erza and the others, who stared blankly at Kira, their mouths agape, unable to utter a word.

It's important to know that Fairy Tail's consistent approach has always been to not take the lives of enemies even after defeating them. This was taught by Makarov, who emphasized giving people a chance to reform. This principle is even enshrined in the guild's rules, and like "no betrayal of the guild and comrades," it's a rule that everyone must abide by.

Throughout history, everyone in the guild, including Kira, has never violated this rule except when facing 'Tarren's Gate'. Moreover, that time it was a forced response, a life-or-death situation, so they had no choice but to act. But now these fishmen are clearly weak; one of them might not even be able to defeat Marcus. Is it really necessary to go to the point of killing them outright?

Why is Kira suddenly so ruthless? Has he turned evil? That's impossible, Gray has been using the Devil Slayer Technique for so long and he hasn't turned evil yet!

The group watched Kira silently, hoping he could give them a reason that would convince them.

"Don't look at me like that. If you knew what happened here, you probably wouldn't listen to me even if I advised you not to kill!"

real or fake?

A strange look flashed in the eyes of Erza and the other members of Fairy Tail, and then they looked at Lucy. She must have been here for a while and knew what had happened.

However, Lucy just kept nodding: "Mmm... Kira is right!"

This made the three of them even more curious.

Ultear and the other two didn't react much to Kira's plan to start a killing spree. They were originally from the Dark Guild, and although they had turned over a new leaf in the past two years, it didn't mean they hadn't taken lives during that time, especially since these people weren't human.

especially……

Eric twitched his ears and heard the conversation coming from afar very clearly.

……

Ah Long Paradise.

At the center of the park stands a tall, four-story cone-shaped building, topped with a shark statue looking up at the sky, bearing the flag of the Arlong Pirates. On either side of the main building are two pavilions, each also adorned with a shark statue. Directly opposite the main building is a rectangular swimming pool that connects to the sea.

Inside the courtyard, beneath the main building, directly opposite the swimming pool, sits a rattan chair. At this moment, a two-meter-tall sawtooth shark-man sits in this chair.

He had blue skin, wore a hat, a yellow floral shirt, shorts, and slippers, and had a sun tattoo over his heart. But what was most striking about him was his long, sharp nose.

This is Arlong, the captain of the Arlong Pirates.

"Hahaha... This is truly a huge harvest!"

Ah Long sat in the wicker chair, laughing unrestrainedly. His laughter was so awful it was nauseating. "I was just going out for a stroll, but I never expected to run into a wealthy merchant ship. I remember our reputation has spread throughout the surrounding waters, right? I never thought there would be any fearless humans who would dare to take this route!"

His henchman, a burly fishman, said, "Judging from the behavior of those humans just now, they didn't seem to be unaware of the Arlong Pirates. I think they were just looking for convenience, right? After all, for those merchant ships, taking this route is sometimes indeed shorter."

Ah Long laughed loudly again: "Would you risk your life for money? Humans, such inferior creatures, are truly short-sighted!"

"That kneeling and begging posture was both laughable and ugly! And they even said they were willing to hand over all their money just to spare the lives of the others, it's hilarious! Kill them all, and the treasure will still be mine! Not only short-sighted, but also naive!"

"They're a complete bunch of trash!!"

Ah Long cursed harder and louder, continuing his tirade for several minutes before finally stopping.

The reason for the stop was that the fishman henchmen had finally finished counting the looted packages. One of the fishman stepped forward and reported, "Boss, the stuff we stole this time is worth about 25 million Berries. That's almost the amount we collected from those humans in a month!"

Ah Long's face lit up with joy: "Not bad at all! This is much more efficient than that Nami guy!"

"Speaking of Nami, judging from the timeline, her voyage this time seems to have lasted considerably longer than her previous ones. Could it be that she stole a considerable sum of money? By the way, she should have saved up about 100 million Berries by now, right?"

"Yes, brother! It's at least ninety million already!!"

"Really? Ten to eighteen years old should be the most important eight years of a person's life, right? Yet it was used to accumulate such a huge sum of money. It must have been quite an achievement for a weak little brat like her!"

Arlong's expression was full of mockery, as if he had manipulated humanity at will, and ruthless ridicule of humanity's indomitable spirit in resisting evil in order to survive. "They were so stupid as to believe that I would keep my promise and let her buy the village for 100 million Berries. As expected, humans are not only naive, but also stupid!"

"Hahahaha!!!..."

Ah Long laughed heartily, and the group of fishmen laughed heartily along with him.

Suddenly, Ah Long's laughter stopped abruptly. He lowered his head, his face revealing an indescribable sinister look. He ordered his henchmen, "We can make our move now. Contact that Rat guy and tell him we can take 30% of the profits."

"I'm not going to let such a useful navigator go so easily!!"

……

Eric provided a live broadcast for Erza and the others, word by word.

Although no details were provided, based on the implied meanings in the fishmen's words, they were able to deduce what had happened to the girl named Nami.

In fact, their faces turned cold when they heard the second sentence. No one could remain calm after hearing a group of fishmen mock humans as inferior beings. By the time Eric relayed the ending, everyone's magic could no longer be suppressed.

"call……"

Erza let out a long breath, and when she opened her eyes, her face was unusually filled with murderous intent. This was not the kind of murderous intent she usually showed when she was teaching someone a lesson, but a genuine murderous intent that made her want to tear the other person to pieces with a knife.

"Kill them!"

Her voice was cold and ruthless, without any hesitation, and this time, neither Lucy, Grey, nor even the kindest Wendy voiced any objection.

"See, I told you I was right."
