A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Kira counted everyone individually based on their personal relationships, eventually deciding that all the mages in the guild would become members of the new guild, even adding a few top members from the Twelve Shields, leaving the two people standing nearby dumbfounded.

"Wait! You just mentioned Zeref and the original? They're here too?"

Kira then realized that he hadn't mentioned anything about his time before entering the pirate world, so he explained, "We were bound to come sooner or later! Because we wanted to have enough time to prepare, we decided to come in in batches. Ultear and I were in the first batch; Erin-san, the Chairman, Gildarts, and Zeref were in the later batch. As for who came first and who came later, I don't know. But I left them magical communication bracelets so they can contact me as soon as they come in."

At this point, Kira paused for two seconds: "Of course, there's a possibility that some people might want some alone time, so it's not impossible that they'll come in without contacting me..."

Everyone: "..."

You can just name Jelf and Mavis directly, everyone will understand!

"Heh, if that's really the case, they'll have to blame themselves if anything happens to them later!"

"You have to understand that this world is completely different from Aslant. The maritime forces are incredibly complex. Without my intelligence, those powerful individuals wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life!"

Although with their strength, they certainly wouldn't be in any danger...

Chapter 833 A Tribute to Laugh Tale, Kira's Treasure Game Left in the Little Garden

In the little garden, the Straw Hat crew's adventure continues.

Luffy and Vivi discovered the arena, where they encountered Dorry and Brogy. Apart from Vivi, the three idiots chatted enthusiastically, feeling like they had known each other for a long time. Compared to Killer's group, the two giants found Luffy much more adorable.

Zoro strolled along and unknowingly walked to the camp that Killer and the others had previously built. There were mechanical monsters left behind by Killer guarding medical supplies such as cold medicine, fever reducers, painkillers, bandages, and disinfectant, which were of little use. In addition, there were more convenient medical magic potions, but Zoro was not interested in the medical supplies. Instead, he became interested in the mechanical monsters.

Sanji was completely outmaneuvered by the candle beauty who had cast a space magic spell, running around aimlessly in the forest. He even got lost in the 'snow woman's' predicament after accidentally entering an area set up by Kira's illusion magic.

Nami and Usopp left the candle house and, with Killer's help, continued forward until they finally arrived near the crater.

Near the crater, Kira left several strange sets of clothes: socks were still inside the shoes, the belt was still fastened, gloves, necklace, pocket watch, and other accessories were scattered on the clothes, along with scattered books, pens, and an unfinished map of a small garden...

All of this was done to create the illusion that someone had vanished into thin air here.

It's like a game, a game called "Little Garden: Wilderness Survival".

The gameplay was set by Kira, the bosses were handpicked by Kira, the Easter eggs were created by Kira, and even when and how to leave were all planned by Kira.

Luffy and his crew didn't have a permanent GPS to Alabasta, so they had to travel from island to island. In the original story, it would take a year for Little Garden to store its magnetic energy. Fortunately, Sanji obtained Mr. 3's permanent GPS that contained Alabasta's information, which allowed them to continue their journey.

Although Mr. 3 has already packed his bags and left, the Little Garden, after Kira's modifications, can now store magnetic energy in just three days instead of a year, which has helped Luffy and his crew.

However, just in case, Kira still stole a permanent pointer from Mr. 3 and left it in the Little Garden. But to get this permanent pointer, you need to complete the game that Kira had set up in the Little Garden.

Near the crater, Nami and Usopp picked up some papers from their clothes that had fallen to the ground. Looking at the contents, they were immediately stunned: "These are... those pages of the torn-out diary?!"

[January 10, 1520 (Haiyuan Calendar)]

[Great! It turns out that by completing the four trials on the island, we can obtain four addresses. Connecting these four addresses on the map will give us a permanent pointer to Alabasta at the intersection! We're saved!!]

We decided to split into several teams. One team would draw the map of the small garden, while the other four teams would solve the challenges on the island. This way, we could leave the small garden quickly.

[January 11, 1520 (Haiyuan Calendar)]

The plan did not go smoothly. The small garden was too large, and the complex terrain, along with numerous dangers such as wild beasts, mazes, and poisonous obstacles, made map drawing extremely difficult.

The four trials are quite challenging. The 'disappearing snow woman,' the 'giant gladiatorial combat,' and the 'mechanical beasts of the camp' are understandable, but the last one, 'unknown luck,' is completely a mystery! Will we really be able to find the Alabasta Permanent Pointer and leave Little Garden?

Yes, this is the test left by Kira: to find the way to the permanent pointer that records Alabasta, just like the way to find Laugh Tale. This can also be seen as a tribute to Oda's symmetrical aesthetics.

Upon seeing this, Nami and Usopp's eyes lit up simultaneously, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes as they looked at each other.

Is this for real??

"No matter what, we need to give it a try!"

"That makes sense! Come to think of it, I've been pretty lucky..."

……

"Yosh! We've finally entered the old-fashioned split-team dungeon-crawling mode from Japanese anime!"

On the Hope, Kira, who was silently controlling the entire game process, wiped his sweat, poured himself a cup of milk tea, and slumped into a sofa chair to rest.

"Grey, some ice, please!"

Kira's incredibly natural tone, as if he were ordering a servant, infuriated Gray to the point of jumping up and down: "Can't you handle this little thing yourself?!"

"What a joke?!" Kira's eyes widened immediately as he retorted loudly, "Yes, you're right, I can do these little things myself, and even better than you! Even if you work hard for another ten or twenty years, the ice blocks you create might not be as exquisite as the ones I casually create. Besides, I'm much more handsome, hundreds of thousands of times more attractive than you, something you can never match..."

Seeing Kira's incessant chatter, Gray was speechless, his face contorted with embarrassment, veins bulging. He seemed utterly defeated by Kira's shamelessness. It wasn't until he noticed Wendy, Melty, Ultear, and the others staring at him with mocking eyes that he blushed with embarrassment and gritted his teeth, saying, "...I didn't say any of that, okay?! How narcissistic are you, you bastard?!"

"...But! Gray, you need to understand, you're now the Hope's full-time ice maker, a crew member with a proper job!! If I do these things, what will you do? Will you still want a share of the money from fighting and hunting pirates?"

Gray stood up angrily: "Enough! You bastard, I only said one sentence, did you have to say all this?! And since we're talking about money robbed from pirates, hurry up and distribute the money you looted from Arlong!! You want people to work but don't pay them wages, I don't remember you being this kind of heartless capitalist!! Kira, you've fallen!!"

Here it comes, the familiar Fairy Tail routine!

Before the two could even roll up their sleeves and start fighting, Natsu, like a bee smelling honey, rushed over from the second-floor kitchen with Happy: "What are you two doing? If you're arguing, I'll join you!!"

"...Natsu, you idiot! You've interrupted me after I'd finally gotten the words together!!"

"What?! You actually called me an idiot?!" Natsu was instantly enraged upon hearing this. If it weren't for the magic-sealing stones included in the materials used to build the Hope, it would have been burned to ashes by now.

Gray, unaware that the Hope possessed a sealing stone, panicked immediately. He hastily placed his hands together, releasing a chilling aura to extinguish Natsu's flames: "Idiot!! Do you want to burn the Hope down? Stop right now!!"

However, Natsu took this as a signal to start a battle. Instead of reducing his flames, he intensified them and even shouted excitedly, "Here it comes! Here it comes!! The long-awaited guild brawl!!! I'm fired up..."

Bang! ! !

A heavy iron sword slammed into Natsu's head, knocking him onto the airship deck!

Immediately afterward, Erza emerged from behind Natsu with a dark expression, her icy gaze sweeping over Natsu on the ground and Gray, who had just taken off his clothes: "You two are so noisy! Be quiet!!"

Natsu and Gray's faces turned deathly pale instantly.

Erza effortlessly lifted the broadsword, weighing several hundred pounds, with her slender right hand, displaying an air of effortless mastery. She then casually pressed the blade against Natsu, coldly demanding, "Natsu, have you gotten too cocky after defeating those two Titans? Do you think you're stronger than ever now, able to freely use the power left by Igneel, and therefore can defeat anyone? Tell me, have you gone mad?"

Pressed to the ground by the heavy sword, Natsu, unable to get up despite using all his strength, instantly broke out in a cold sweat: "No...no...absolutely not!!"

Erza nodded in satisfaction, then turned her gaze to the other person: "Gray! What are you trying to do by taking off your clothes?"

Gray froze instantly, his lips trembling as he stammered, "I...I...I'm hot...Look, the climate on the Grand Line is so hot, I'm sweating so much!"

Erza frowned, gave a cold snort, and said, "There are girls here, so watch your manners!"

"Yes!!!" Gray, completely at ease, raised his voice several decibels and then quickly put on his clothes.

Next, Erza turned her gaze to the last person, the source of the trouble, Kira.

Just as Lucy, Wendy, Happy, Ultear, Eric, Macao, and other onlookers were eagerly anticipating Erza teaching Kira a lesson, Erza suddenly smiled gently at Kira, her cheeks flushed, and asked shyly, "Kira, can I borrow that magical communication bracelet for a few days?"

Everyone: "..."

Who is this person? Where did that decisive and efficient disciplinary committee member go? All I see is a 21-year-old girl engrossed in a remote chat with her mother!

Kira's eye twitched, and he slowly uttered two words: "...Okay."

"Thanks! You guys continue, I'll go back to my room now."

Erza smiled brightly, her smile was very sweet. After speaking, she put away the heavy sword that was pressing down on Natsu, then turned around and went down the stairs. Without looking back, she quickly walked towards her room, leaving only the sound of her 'thump thump thump' footsteps lingering in everyone's ears.

Chapter 834 Daily Life on the Hope

Without knowing the underlying principles, magic descends, and 72 hours vanish in a flash.

During this time, Killer would occasionally keep an eye on Little Garden, and under his control, Luffy and his crew struggled through their own game, which included:

Luffy defeated Dorry and Brogy's combined attack in the arena; Zoro defeated Killer's mechanical monsters in the camp; Sanji saw through the Candle Beauty's trap and escaped after mastering the workings of space magic; Usopp and Nami, with a stroke of luck, managed to bypass the paint trap and two-thirds of the prank magic items...

After the group reunited, they marked the addresses they had obtained after completing the game on the map one by one, and discovered that the location where the Alabasta Log Pose was buried was the underground of the Candle House.

Of course, the Log Pose wasn't so easy to get its hands on. Kira placed it in a sturdy, semi-transparent box, explaining that it could only be opened by stuffing it with one million Berries.

One million Berries was a respectable sum for Nami, who had been a thief for eight years and had saved up nearly one hundred million Berries. Although it hurt, for the sake of the Eternal Log Pose and her good friend Vivi, Nami gritted her teeth and stuffed the money in with tears in her eyes.

Killer naturally used spatial magic to transfer the money into his own hands, and Luffy and his crew got their wish by obtaining the Eternal Log Pose. In the end, both Killer and the Straw Hat crew received satisfactory rewards.

Several days later, the Hope was still sailing high in the sky.

Looking at the leisurely white clouds in the sky and the shimmering sea below the airship, Kira felt that this unchanging scene of the sea and sky merging into one was utterly boring.

"Ugh~ At first, this kind of sailing was kind of fun, but it got boring after a while. I need to find a ship to change my mode of transportation as soon as possible. If I keep lying down like this, my thighs will start to get fat..."

Kira does have boats in his personal space, but they are all private yachts. If a dozen or so people were to board them, it would be too crowded.

Kira reached the edge of the airship, gazing at the vast, undulating sea below, and suddenly had a brilliant idea: "How about we organize a sea bicycle race?"

If that were to happen, Natsu, Wendy, and Eric would definitely be in the bottom three.

Even though the three of them are now wearing the 'anti-Dragon Slayer Mage Transportation' gadgets made by Kira, so they won't get dizzy even when riding bicycles, Kira is 100% sure that they definitely never practiced riding bicycles before!

Just as Kira was lost in thought, Natsu and Happy's listless voices came from behind him.

"Ugh, so boring!"

"I miss everyone in the guild so much!!"

Kira turned around and immediately looked annoyed. In the lounge area, the other ten people on the ship besides him were sitting around a table playing the card game "Fairy Tail Killer". Happy and Charlene were serving tea and water, massaging waists and legs, and secretly peeking at the cards in other people's hands. They didn't seem bored at all.

Kira: "..."

These guys are clearly enjoying themselves!

Although "Fairy Tail Killer" was a card game started by Kira, he had only ever played the eight-player version. He had never played the ten-player version before. After asking Happy, he learned that what they were playing was actually "Guild Battle".

There are five factions in the guild war: Fairy Tail, Ishgar, Dark Guild, Alvarez, and Dragon.

Normally, a mage corresponds to only one character card, and a character card belongs to only one faction. However, if it is a popular mage, in Fairy Tail, there will be a situation where a mage corresponds to multiple character cards and belongs to multiple factions. The skills and health of these character cards are also different.

For example, on the table right now, Wendy is using 'Fairy Tail Kira', a character card belonging to the 'Fairy Tail' faction, and its skills are 'Word of Power', 'Gunfire', and 'Fairy Judgment'; while Romeo is using 'Gira of the Ten Wizard Saints', which belongs to the 'Ten Wizard Saints' faction, and its skills are 'Sage', 'Divine Judgment', and 'Fairy Melody'.

However, Kira could tell at a glance that in this game, both 'Fairy Tail Kira' and 'Ten Wizards Kira' belonged to the group that led the game's direction.

In reality, neither of the two kids were very good at cards, nor were they as cunning as the adults. But fortunately, they drew powerful character cards, and with a bit of luck, their hand was destined to be extraordinary.

Soon, with the combined boost of luck and strength, Wendy, controlling 'Fairy Tail Kira', led the 'Fairy Tail' forces to defeat the 'Ten Wizards' forces led by 'Kira of the Wizarding Ten' controlled by Romeo, and the 'Alvarez' forces led by 'Alvarez Irene' controlled by Erza, successfully securing victory in this round.

"How is this possible?! We actually lost?!" Erza stared at the character card [Eileen] in her hand, her face filled with disbelief.

Gray, standing to the side, glared indignantly at the [Imbel] in his hand and complained, "This guy is so useless! He's actually pretty strong, but playing with him is so frustrating..."
