A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

The streets were dilapidated, the buildings collapsed, and the ruins were in complete disarray.

Looking around, you see buildings everywhere that resemble those of the Mayan civilization, exuding a rich historical atmosphere.

"Could this be the ruins of Shandora?!" Robin was shocked. To an archaeologist like her who was dedicated to uncovering history, everything before her was like a strong, muscular man placed before a thirsty young woman, full of irresistible allure.

At this moment, Robin felt his scalp tingle, his face flush, his heart pounding, and his nerves trembling as if he were about to explode.

"Is this our homeland?!" The girl, Aisha, who had come with them, was already in tears.

Although she was still young, all her concepts of 'hometown' and 'ancestors' came from the adults in the village, and she had no concept of them herself. But when she stood in front of this ruin, her body reacted before her mind could react; it was a memory imprinted on her blood.

In the darkness, Aisha seemed to hear the cheers of her ancestors who had been left behind here, and the hymns sung by the land beneath her feet, all welcoming her, their descendant who had finally found them after four hundred years.

The two were completely captivated by the ruins of Shandora before them. Robin suppressed his excitement and began to explore the area, while Elsa turned and ran to inform everyone to come here and return to their homeland.

As for Kira...

Beep beep beep!!

"Huh? The gold is over here?!"

Kira, metal detector in hand, strode across the ancient buildings that had been buried for four hundred years, like an extremely vulgar person, not even glancing at these historical relics, his mind preoccupied with finding gold.

Finally, he arrived at a cave, and the metal detector pointed to it.

"That's it! I remember the golden ship was moored in a cave!!"

"The scent of gold, it's truly Spallanzani!"

Chapter 885 Enel: If I can't beat him, can't I beat you?

Enel was born on a sky island called Birka. From childhood, he always harbored the same dream as other sky islanders: to go to the land.

Later, by chance, he discovered a treasure in an ancient ruin.

The treasure contained three items: the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which made him a Logia-type Devil Fruit user and granted him the power of lightning; the high-tech ark blueprints left by his predecessors, designed to build a ship that could travel to the land and be powered by lightning; and a notebook that recorded the adventures of the treasure's owner.

According to the notes, he learned that the Sky Islanders did not live on the Sky Island from the beginning, but lived on a vast land with no water or clouds, the birthplace of 'gods', which was the moon.

The ancestors of the Sky Island people, along with their 'gods,' traveled from the Infinite Land to the Pirate Planet aboard an ark called 'Proverbs.' Using a certain substance there and their own advanced technology, they developed something that could solve their energy crisis—the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

After the energy crisis was resolved, they intended to return to their homeland, but for some reason, they were unable to do so. However, the power source, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the blueprints for the 'Proverb', and the books that recorded their adventures remained behind.

From that day on, Enel had an idea in his mind: he wanted to go to the infinite land, to become a god, to return to his homeland, and to put all unreasonable and abnormal people and things back in their place.

The 'gods' went to the place where they were born—the infinite land; the Sky Island people returned to the ground—the Blue Sea; and the Sky Island, a place that is completely illogical, should not exist!

So he destroyed his homeland, Bika, and began his journey to become a 'god'.

In the time that followed, Enel fought his way through the north and south, plundering more than a dozen sky islands. No one could rival him wherever he went. He selected a group of people with decent strength from those who surrendered to serve as his direct subordinates. He also appointed four of them, who possessed the Mind Network and had relatively strong overall strength, as his 'Priests'.

Six years ago, Enel came to Apayado, defeated Ganful and his "Gods", and learned about the war between Angel Island and the Shandians.

Having read the books left by his predecessors, Enel knew that the land before him was an island in the Blue Sea, not a creation of 'God'. Afterwards, he spent several months with Ganful's 'God Team' and his own 'God Soldiers' to find the golden city of Shandora.

From the notes, Enel learned that gold was highly valuable in Qinghai, and most importantly, it had excellent electrical conductivity, making it suitable as a building material for the Ark 'Proverb'. So he commanded the 300-plus-strong prisoner 'god squad' to build him a golden ship, preparing to implement his plan.

Originally, everything was going according to his plan, but unexpected events often come sooner than planned.

The man with lightning scars on his face, short blond hair, and a black coat actually possessed the power of lightning just like me. What's more, after being hit by my lightning, he wasn't injured at all; instead, he seemed even more energetic!

Everything that happened during his fight with Laxus completely overturned Enel's understanding.

Even if the other party had survived being struck by lightning, he wouldn't have been so surprised. If he hadn't been fast enough and the other party hadn't been able to use the Mind Network, they probably wouldn't have been able to escape.

However, although Enel successfully escaped, from that day on, questions such as "Why can someone eat lightning to restore their power?" and "What is the structure of his body?" have been lingering in Enel's mind.

After being defeated by Laxus, Enel fled back to the cave where he kept the golden ship and used lightning metal to speed up the construction of the 'Proverb' in preparation for carrying out his own plan. Now, after a month of frantic work, the 'Proverb' has finally been completed.

"Alright...alright...my plan is about to begin!"

Looking at the enormous golden ship before him, Enel's eyes revealed a clear sign of madness. "Even if you can absorb lightning to restore your power, as long as you can't fly, you're destined to perish along with the Sky Island!!"

Just then, Enel's voice stopped abruptly, his expression changed, and he turned to look at the cave entrance behind him.

Someone came in?? What happened? How come I didn't even notice?!

Enel's Psychic Array is at a very high level, capable of covering the entire Angel Island and Apayado. Furthermore, combined with the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit within him, he can even hear the voices of others.

Even though he was inside the cave, he kept a close eye on the changes in Apayado.

He knew that the Shandians had migrated to the island, but he didn't care, because they would eventually fall from the sky at an altitude of 10,000 meters along with them; he also knew that a group of Qinghai people had come to Apayado, but he didn't care either, because the gold they wanted was already in his own hands.

It can be said that from the moment Kira and his group set foot on Apayado, everything that happened to them was under their control!

But why...didn't my mental network detect that anyone had found this place?

In fact, that was because Kira knew about Enel's Psychic ability, so after arriving on the island, he added a layer of magic to shield himself from perception, even though he wasn't sure if it would actually work, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

Fortunately, things went as he expected. The shielding magic effectively blocked the perception of the mind network, which allowed him to arrive here safely.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Enel's expression turned serious.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a voice that displeased him: "The scent of gold, truly Spallanzene!"

Gold? That's mine!

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Enel's eyes: 'I might not be able to beat that guy who can withstand lightning, but surely I can beat you?'

Upon entering the cave, the view finally opened up, and the enormous golden ship 'Proverb' appeared before Kira:

The bow of the ship is a huge, ugly human face with close-set eyes, a pattern in the center of the forehead, large ears and thick lips. Combined with its golden color, it looks almost like a legendary Buddha statue.

This suddenly reminded Killer of the Mythical Zoan Fruit, Human-Human Fruit, Buddha Form from the Sengoku period. Vegapunk had said that Devil Fruits originated from human imagination, so it seems that the belief in Buddha in the Blue Sea might also have come from the Moon People.

Behind the 'Buddha statue' is a huge chimney, clearly serving as the ark's exhaust vent. A huge 'God' character is written on the side, with a series of propellers on both sides and in front, and a ring of oars around the bottom side.

Kira didn't understand what the oars were for. Wasn't the ship's destination the Infinite Land? There was no water there, so the oars seemed useless, right?

After thinking for a long time, Kira concluded that this was because Enel built the ship exactly according to the Ark's blueprints, and the Lunarians originally intended to use the Ark 'Proverb' to travel to the Blue Sea, which is why it had oars.

Kira carefully observed the Ark's appearance, which filled Enel with both smugness and anger: 'This ignorant human must be utterly astonished by my Ark!! But I, a god, stand here, and this brat completely ignores me... He's practically courting death!!'

"A Qinghai native? How did you find your way here?"

Enel's voice snapped Kira out of his reverie. He looked up at Enel, who was standing at the bow of the ship, looking down at him. A slight smile appeared on his lips. If anyone familiar with Kira were here, they would immediately realize that this guy was about to do something naughty.

"You're the Enel who was beaten to his knees by Laxus, begging for mercy, crying and screaming, and showing his ugly side?"

Upon hearing this, Enel's face instantly darkened. What 'kneeling and begging for mercy'?! What 'crying and wailing'?! What 'disguised shame'?! He had indeed lost, but how could he have lost so miserably?!

Consumed by rage, Enel raised his hand, blue lightning crackling in it with a sharp, piercing 'sizzle': "Mere human... who gave you permission to speak to me in such a tone?"

"3000 Million Volts Thunderbird!!"

Lightning erupted in response, coalescing behind Enel into a blue Thunderbird wreathed in blinding electricity. The Thunderbird then opened its sharp beak, flapped its wings, and swooped down, shooting towards Kira!

boom!!

The Thunderbird exploded, kicking up a large amount of smoke and dust.

"Huh? What's going on?" Enel sensed something was wrong and his expression changed immediately.

As the smoke cleared, Kira was seen with a rubber shield that had appeared in front of him, completely unharmed. He stood behind the shield, looking at Enel with a defiant gaze: "Are you any good, Enel?"

He acted without hesitation... This guy is really sensitive!

"What did you say?!"

Enel's face darkened with rage. He once again unleashed his Devil Fruit power, manipulating lightning to transform into a giant dragon that charged towards Killer, roaring, "6000 Million Volts Thunder Dragon!!"

boom!!!

It was a big commotion, but again there was smoke but no injuries.

"What is this thing? Why can it block lightning?"

Enel was completely stunned. Having lived on Skypiea since childhood, he had no idea that rubber existed, or even the concept of an insulator. But he had a vague feeling that he might lose again today.

"First, this guy who can eat lightning appeared out of nowhere, and now there's a shield that can block lightning... You humans... you all deserve to die!!!"

Enel raised his right arm, lightning crackling around his hand. Through his mind network and the cumulonimbus clouds above, he unleashed a terrifyingly powerful burst of lightning energy: "Divine Judgment!!"

In Kira's magical perception, a massive amount of lightning energy instantly condensed high in the sky outside the cave, and then poured down like a waterfall.

Kira: "..."

The effect and name of this ability are almost identical to my magic 'Divine Retribution'...

Chapter 886 Little God of the Sky Island, You Did Your Best!

Kira's magic 'Divine Judgment' is of the element of holy light. In addition to its powerful destructive force, it has a strong restraining effect on the power of darkness. On the other hand, Enel's 'Divine Judgment' is simply a pillar of lightning formed by gathering lightning energy. The two are completely different things.

"Since you took the initiative, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

Admittedly, this was Killer's first time fighting Enel, and also his first time fighting a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, but it wasn't his first time dealing with someone who used lightning abilities.

For over a decade, Laxus has never beaten him even once!

Just as the massive lightning bolt pierced through layers of island clouds and ancient ruins, bursting through the cave and about to strike Kira, he suddenly flicked his fingers and shouted loudly.

"distortion!!"

The long-lost power of words, almost like the power of a magic god, came true through the outpouring of magic.

As soon as he finished speaking, the lightning bolt that was about to hit Kira seemed to hit an invisible barrier. It suddenly made a 90-degree turn three meters above his head and rushed towards the cave wall!

boom!!

The lightning bolt, carrying immense power, easily blasted a large hole in the cave wall and struck the ancient ruins outside, sending debris flying and creating a violent wind.

"What?!" Enel was shocked again, this time so shocked that snot and tongue popped out of his eyes.

If the ability of someone to eat lightning shocked him, and the ability of a substance to withstand lightning puzzled him, then this mysterious power that could redirect lightning out of thin air truly astonished him.

"How did you...do that?!"

"I'm not telling you! Now it's my turn!"

Kira chuckled softly, then mimicked Erza's tone and whispered, "Change clothes!"
