A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Kizaru felt things were getting even more complicated, and gave Buggy a surprised look: "I didn't expect a mere pirate with a bounty of 1500 million Berries like you to have so many friends... That's terrifying~"

As a seasoned wage earner, Kizaru knows very well how important friends are to those who sail the high seas!

The Grand Line is not just about fighting and killing; it's also about human relationships and social interactions. This is no joke. If someone can be friends with figures like Whitebeard, Shanks, Kaido, or Big Mom, then even if they are incredibly weak and have a bounty of less than ten million, the Navy will have to take them seriously.

Just then, a voice rang out from among Bucky's henchmen who were watching—

"What kind of lowly pirate with a mere 1500 million Berries? Listen up, you bastard!!"

"Our Captain Buggy is a crew member of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, the top disciple of 'Dark King' Rayleigh, and a sworn brother of 'Red-Haired' Shanks!! If you dare to lay a hand on him, those people won't let you off the hook!"

"Are you, the Navy, going to fight the Big Mom Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, the mysterious Irene's crew, the Red-Haired Pirates, and the Whitebeard Pirates all at the same time??"

Kizaru: "??!!"

Bucky: "??!!"

The others: "??!!"

"Who?! Who just said that?! Step forward right now!!"

Bucky was instantly enraged by the voice, his nose turning red, his face turning ashen, his lips pale, cold sweat pouring down his back, and a chill running down his spine. He turned to his group of henchmen and roared, "Which bastard dares to expose my secrets at a time like this?! What good will it do you to ruin me?!"

He had been living in anonymity in the East China Sea for so many years. Although his income was not much, at least he was safe. He had also been as generous as possible to his subordinates, ensuring they lived comfortably. But now, a traitor had appeared in his team? He had exposed all his secrets in one fell swoop?

At this moment, Kizaru's feelings were similar to Buggy's; he also found it utterly absurd, his face filled with astonishment, and his mind racing: 'Really?! A member of the Pirate King's crew? Rayleigh's disciple? Shanks' brother? Does this "clown" Buggy have such a powerful background? How did someone like him manage to evade the Navy's searches before??'

But soon, Kizaru made his own judgment: these rumors might actually be true!

First, according to intelligence, 'The Joker' Buggy hails from the East Blue, where Roger was executed. He likely witnessed the execution, or perhaps he went there specifically to watch. Second, he is about the same age as Shanks. Third, it is said that 'Dark Lord' Rayleigh is on the Sabaody Archipelago.

If the above three points are too far-fetched, then there is the most important point: how could an ordinary person have the courage to beat up a Celestial Dragon in the street?

But if the other party is a member of the Pirate King's crew, then everything makes sense!

Lawless, the worst evil of the century, passed down through generations. Roger's character influenced his crew to the core, making it possible that he would do something like beating a Celestial Dragon many years later!

No, it should be said that it's very high!

Shanks was a member of Roger's crew, a fact known to the Navy's high command. So, if it's confirmed that 'The Joker' Buggy is related to Shanks, then the rest can basically be proven true!

But who was that voice just now? I think I vaguely saw someone who looked like a reporter, but I don't know if I was mistaken... Could it be that Morgans also knew about this?

No, no! The most important thing right now is still the Bucky problem!!

Judging from his reaction, it's almost certain that what that voice said was true. In that case, I really can't make a move now!

The war between Kaido, Big Mom, and Irene, along with the Navy, is about to erupt in the waters of Torrent. If I were to make a move against 'Fire Fist' Ace and 'Clown' Buggy at this time, which would then attract Shanks and Whitebeard, it would mean that the Navy would have to wage war against all the forces of the New World!

At that point, let alone just one navy, even if there were twice the naval strength, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to handle it!

"How terrifying! I never knew you were hiding this so well! This is really troublesome now..."

Kizaru stopped his attack. The situation had escalated beyond what a mere Marine Admiral like himself could handle. He had to contact his superiors immediately. As for here... for now, they would just have to remain in a stalemate.

With that in mind, Kizaru began dialing the Den Den Mushi in his hand.

Hmm... a black Den Den Mushi!

Chapter 914 The Five Elders' Decision

Even after Buggy, Ace, and the others had vanished without a trace, Kizaru remained rooted to the spot, staring at the black Den Den Mushi in his hand with a puzzled expression: "This is so strange..."

"No one answers the Den Den Mushi..."

Blue blue blue...

Just then, the other Den Den Mushi in my arms rang.

"Huh? Could it be..."

Kizaru seemed to realize something, but he wasn't quite sure. He just subconsciously took out the incessantly ringing Den Den Mushi and answered it with a 'click'.

"Grandpa, we're almost there. How are things going on your end?"

how about it?

Kizaru glanced at the now empty lawn, paused for a moment, and replied, "Something unexpected happened. I need to ask Fleet Admiral Sengoku for permission to continue, but I can't get through to the Den Den Mushi."

"...You must have mistaken it for a listening denial snipe again!"

On the other end, Sentomaru immediately understood: "How many times have I told you? The black Den Den Mushi is for eavesdropping, the white one is for making calls!!"

"Huh?? Is that so?"

"Of course! There are only two Den Den Mushi, you better remember that!!"

I really can't remember! Please have some understanding of this fifty-something-year-old!

Before Kizaru could even speak in his defense, Sentomaru's voice rang out again: "Forget about the Den Den Mushi, as long as we catch them..."

"Well...it seems they ran away while I was on the phone."

"Huh?! Are you kidding me?!"

The absurd words made even the Den Den Mushi laugh in anger. "How could a mere pirate with 1500 million Berries escape from your grasp?! No idiot would believe that!"

"I don't care, you go and explain this to the higher-ups yourself!"

"Also, I brought the Pacifistas out with me. Vegapunk asked me to test their power. I can't just slink back with them like this, can I?"

After finishing his sentence, Sentomaru hung up the phone and then turned to the three pacifists behind him, ordering, "Find 'The Clown' Buggy on the island and arrest him. Anyone who tries to stop you will be considered an accomplice and eliminated!"

Pacifistas are humanoid weapons created by Vegapunk based on Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The ones that Sentomaru has brought now are PX-1, PX-2, and PX-3.

As soon as the order was given, the three pacifists' eyes immediately glowed red, and then they turned and went off in three different directions. Sentomaru, on the other hand, headed towards Kizaru's location. He had to ask what had happened that caused the admiral to fail and not even catch a small pirate.

Under the big tree number 13, Kizaru finally found the Den Den Mushi and dialed Sengoku's number, reporting what had happened: "That's how it is. It's not just 'Clown' Buggy, but also 'Fire Fist' Ace, and two mages. I dare not make any rash moves!"

On the other end of the phone, Sengoku stared at the face on the Den Den Mushi with a dark expression, his fists clenched, a mouthful of blood churning in his throat, unable to be spat out or swallowed.

He had a premonition that if he continued like this, he would eventually be killed by this absurd world!

Can anyone tell him why an ordinary little pirate suddenly transformed into Roger's crew member, Rayleigh's apprentice, Shanks' brother, Ace's best friend, and a mage's friend?!

Let alone Kizaru, that lazy bum, even he himself couldn't handle this situation!

Although Sengoku really wanted to tell Kizaru, "Come back, stop chasing," he couldn't make a hasty conclusion about the life of a Celestial Dragon, nor could he let his subordinate Kizaru take the blame. So, there was only one way left!

Push the troublesome things upwards!

Even the Five Elders wouldn't stand idly by and watch their navy clash with the Four Emperors and this mysterious mage organization at the same time, would they?

Sengoku then told Kizaru to "stay put" and immediately made a phone call to the Five Elders.

"Sengoku? Has he been captured? Just have Kizaru bring him to Mary Geoise. As for Roswald Saint..."

"Actually, things took a little unexpected turn! Like this... and that..."

Mary Geoise, Between Powers.

After listening to the report from the Warring States period, the Five Elders remained silent for a long time.

"How could such a thing happen..."

The long-haired, white-bearded old man, 'Environmental War God' Marcus Maz, paused by the window. "I never imagined that this would involve the white-bearded and red-haired men..."

Shepard X. Pete Saint, the short-haired, golden-haired "God of Agriculture," frowned deeply: "'The Joker' Bucky? We never even noticed him before; it was our oversight!"

The bald man with spots on his head, 'Legal Martial God' Topman Vochuli, looked at the other four people beside him and asked, "What do we do now? The Celestial Dragons' lives can't be ignored! Otherwise, we won't be able to explain it to Saint Roswald!!"

'Scientific Defense God of War' Jaigolusia Satan Saint gripped his cane: 'But the navy cannot simultaneously face the pressure from five forces...'

"How about we withdraw one side first?" suggested the God of Wealth, who was holding a katana.

And so the room fell silent once again.

In truth, they all knew that even with the Pacifistas created by Vegapunk, the Navy could not possibly face five major powers simultaneously. This was because Whitebeard and Shanks had not yet been confirmed as their enemies, and Akainu's battles with Kaido, Big Mom, and the mages had not yet begun. There was still room for maneuver.

But they can't gamble, so they can only focus on handling things as much as possible.

For example, the situation in the Torrent Sea is not urgent. They can have Akainu temporarily withdraw from the New World, which would immediately reduce the number of enemies the Navy will have. They can even sit back and watch two Yonko fight against the mages, and then reap the benefits themselves.

Then, on the Sabaody Archipelago, as long as Kizaru is careful when capturing "Clown" Buggy and doesn't touch Ace and the mages around him, he can avoid the Marines from becoming enemies with Whitebeard and the mages.

Once things are settled in Sabaody, we can fight again in the New World. At that time, we can take advantage of the situation and wipe out the three already wounded forces in one fell swoop!

In the end, only one question remains: the red hair!

But they believed that Shanks wasn't the impulsive type, and he certainly wouldn't go after the Navy because of a 'clown' like Buggy.

Ten minutes later, Sengoku received the orders from the Five Elders: "Have Borsalino continue to hunt down 'The Clown' Buggy, and try not to involve Whitebeard or any magic-related forces in the process; then have Sakazuki temporarily withdraw from the Torant Sea and await further orders. The war two days later is canceled!"

Sengoku was completely stunned and immediately protested loudly into the Den Den Mushi: "Are you kidding me?! At this point, you're letting Sakazuki retreat?!"

"He brought 100 warships, 3 marines, and 10 Pacifistas, and quietly circled around to the Toland Sea, occupying six or seven islands. Was he just going for a stroll?!"

"With so much combat power, if they don't even fire a single bullet and just slink back like that, what will become of the navy's reputation?! What prestige will they have on the high seas?!"

However, no matter how loudly they shouted, Sengoku's protests had no effect. The voice coming from the Den Den Mushi was cold and ruthless, and its tough attitude left no room for argument.

"Watch your attitude, Sengoku!!"

"Is a game between mere pirates more important than the lives of Celestial Dragons?"

"If the navy has any questions, just brush them off with an excuse like 'military exercises'!"

"As the Admiral of the Navy, you just need to follow orders. If you don't want to do it anymore, we can replace you with someone else at any time!"

"Do you really want to start a war? As the Fleet Admiral, do you disregard the lives of your marines? Are you going to send them into war just to save face?"

These old guys actually turned around and accused us? They're incredibly shameless!

Having lived for so many years, Sengoku had seen all sorts of despicable, treacherous, filthy, and vile pirates, but even with his experience, he could not find anyone else with the same level of wickedness as these five.

"Damn it! You summon them whenever you want, start war whenever you want, and retreat whenever you want? What do you take the navy soldiers for?!"

Sengoku's questions went unanswered, but he clearly heard an undisguised, contemptuous laugh coming from the other end of the Den Den Mushi before the call was disconnected.

"These bastards!!!"
