"What?! Buggy hit a Celestial Dragon?! My god! As expected of Buggy the Great, he's stolen Luffy's spotlight!! Does this mean Buggy is the only protagonist in the One Piece world? This is way more impactful than the Impel Down riot!"
Kira was amazed by yet another legendary feat by Buggy, then his gaze fell downwards, and his brows furrowed immediately: "How come Gildarts, Cana, and Ace got involved too? Could it be that they were actually the ones who fought, but because of Buggy's lucky Haki, the credit was given to him?"
This guess was made by Kira based on the plot development of the original work. After all, he knew very well how much strength and courage Buggy had. Someone with that kind of personality would definitely not be crazy enough to actively fight a Celestial Dragon!
If nothing unexpected happens, he was persecuted by those around him and was "passively" beaten by a Celestial Dragon.
After thinking for a moment, Kira continued reading. When he saw the next part, his eyes suddenly lit up: "So Ace really couldn't escape being captured after all? Does that mean we'll have to go to Marineford again?!"
"The Navy can fight so many forces at the same time?!... What?! Akainu has retreated?! So I'm too late again?? No, no, no... That's not right! It's just that the Navy has retreated. The tense and exciting battle hasn't even started yet, and Kaido and Big Mom's alliance is still going strong!"
"He traveled all this way to witness the alliance of two Yonko, and then went back without even firing a single cannonball. Akainu has really lost face... How pitiful!" Killer couldn't help but complain, silently mourning for Akainu for two seconds.
However, Kira was more concerned about the Supernova Collision than the Celestial Dragons incident.
He suddenly remembered that in the original work, Blackbeard was supposed to capture Luffy at this time, but he encountered Ace first. Now it seems that he missed him because Ace was acting with Buggy, Gildarts and the others. As for Bonney's appearance, he understood everything when he saw the words "Food Street".
The ambiguous phrase "his fate is unknown" suggests that the scene was quite large, which is understandable, given that Blackbeard is an old pirate and his strength is not something Luffy can easily defeat at his current level.
Kira guessed that the Straw Hat crew had probably suffered a crushing defeat, but they would likely manage to escape by luck. Once they saw the news of Ace's capture, they would definitely storm Marineford again, just like in the original story.
After finishing his analysis, Kira sighed, put down the newspaper, and refocused his attention on the raging, severe weather.
Storms, hail, tsunamis, and lightning strikes; the sky and sea merge into one, like a gigantic beast that could easily devour people and leave nothing but scraps for those self-important pirates in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, this kind of weather was no match for Kira's steel airship.
Hail? Lightning?
That was just a snack for Gray and Laxus!
With magic paving the way, no matter how domineering the weather is, it has to obediently submit to Kira. As long as he wants, he can make the sky clear or make it rainy. It couldn't be more awesome.
At this moment, he is the best navigator on this sea!
"That's what it means to conquer the sea!"
In their self-satisfied boasting, Kira and his crew finally arrived at the Torant Sea.
The Torrent Sea contains 34 islands, which are not far apart and can be reached by boat in just half a day. Several of them are so close that you can even see the boundaries of neighboring islands from the shore.
So when the Hope sailed into this area, the first thing it saw was the sailboats of all sizes around the island, and the heads of people coming and going like ants.
Kira turned on the magic signal receiver and was shocked to find that there were dozens of magic reactions in the vicinity, and they were mostly concentrated on Whole Cake Island. If the people on the Hope were included, then more than half of all the mages who had been teleported over were in this vicinity.
"Those guys actually found their way here on their own?!"
Laxus glanced at the numerous red dots flashing on the signal device and said calmly, "Isn't this great? It saves us the trouble of searching for them one by one."
Kira retorted, unconvinced, "What do you know? Only someone who can unite and lead their comrades deserves to be called the guild master! The fact that these people are gathered around Erin-san means I've been outdone by her!"
"You're still obsessed with the 'president' position? I really don't know why you're so fixated on it..."
Laxus quipped, recalling how he too had once coveted the 'chairman' position, but had gradually become indifferent to it. "But then again," he added, "in terms of popularity, you simply couldn't compete with her..."
"...That's all because those guys are a bunch of lecherous bastards!"
Kira was silent for a moment, then pointed out the problem incisively: "Seeing that Irene is a great beauty, powerful, and can transform into a dragon, they all rush to curry favor with her, completely forgetting our deep friendship of more than ten years!!"
"A bunch of ungrateful bastards! If it weren't for a righteous gentleman like me to lead them, who knows how far Fairy Tail would have fallen!"
Kira's voice was strong and powerful. He straightened his back, and his whole body seemed to be surrounded by an unprecedented aura of righteousness.
ten minutes later……
"Eileen-san, it's been a long time!!"
"Little brother, I missed you so much!!"
Laxus and the others rolled their eyes at Kira's face, which was beaming like a wild chrysanthemum, and how he was cheering and jumping for joy next to Irene after chasing away those old perverts from the guild: "This guy's attitude changed pretty quickly..."
Kira scoffed at their attitude. How could these outsiders compare to the bond between himself and Erin?
To everyone's disappointment, while Irene welcomed Kira's arrival, it was Erza's appearance that truly delighted her. The mother and daughter immediately switched into 'gentle mother' and 'well-behaved daughter' mode upon meeting, leaving those of them who knew Erza's true nature speechless.
"Erza is usually so strong, I never thought she'd show this innocent, docile side of herself..."
"After all, they are mother and daughter, so it's normal for them to act like this."
"I really envy Erza. I wish I had a mom like her."
"Mom, please show me some care too~"
"Uncle, how old are you? Can you please stop smelling like this?! It stinks!!"
"..."
With the arrival of Kira and his companions, the group of mages began a grand banquet on Whole Cake Island.
It must be said that whether as a queen of a country 400 years ago, as the 'Crimson Despair' of Albares, or now as the ruler of Whole Cake Island, Irene has demonstrated extraordinary management skills.
Under her rule, the entire Cake Island was peaceful, tranquil, comfortable, clean, and orderly, much like Magnolia.
Eileen is now the island's administrator, Mira is her secretary, several members of the Twelve Shields are the island's guard captains, and the mages from the guild serve as guards.
Of the several escort teams, the Brandish and Timalia teams had the largest numbers of members. Their intentions were so obvious that Kira didn't even bother to point them out.
From Mira, Kira learned that those unstable elements who attempted to create chaos and conflict had been driven out by Eileen, leaving only ordinary people who originally hoped to live a peaceful life.
They now live harmoniously with the mages, enjoying a stable and peaceful life without having to give up one-sixth of their lifespan. This makes them far more subject to the mages' control than the Big Mom Pirates.
As Kira traveled along, he also discovered that this place was not like the original work, filled with talking Homies everywhere. This was probably because Big Mom was defeated by Irene some time ago, and the Homies were ineffective at that time.
Besides the Homies, the buildings on the island no longer resembled the legendary Whole Cake Island; they had clearly undergone major renovations, likely being demolished and rebuilt by Irene.
After wandering around Whole Cake Island, Kira finally found Irene, who was having a private conversation with Erza. Now it was time to reveal his true intentions!
"Eileen-san, after you took over Whole Cake Island, did you find a red stone?"
Eileen was taken aback, clearly stumped by Kira's seemingly random question: "What red stone? I haven't searched every room, I don't know what you're talking about..."
"What? Is that something very important?"
Chapter 920 Concept Addition: 'Three-Colored Haki'
Kira is looking for the Red Historical Texts, also known as the Roadmap Texts.
As one of the four landmarks leading to Laugh Tale, its importance to this sea is self-evident.
Of the four known Road Poneglyphs, one is in Zou, moving with Zunesha; one is in the basement of Onigashima in Wano Country, in Kaido's possession; and one is on Whole Cake Island, in Big Mom's possession.
The last piece was supposed to be on Fishman Island, but its whereabouts are now unknown. It's possible that Roger hid it to add some fun to the Great Voyage, or perhaps Fishman Island felt that the stone shouldn't be easily seen by others, so they hid it themselves.
Now that Irene has defeated Big Mom and taken control of Whole Cake Island, she should theoretically have the Road Poneglyphs, but she most likely doesn't know what they are, so she won't care.
Kira knew that Erin was a very intelligent person. Even if she couldn't understand what was written on it, logically speaking, a stone that someone like the old lady would treasure, with ancient characters that no one recognized engraved on it, and with an exceptionally hard texture, was definitely not simple. So it was impossible for her to throw it away.
My fear is that the stone will be stolen.
Charlotte Brûlée, the female version of Big Mom, is a user of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, which allows her to enter the Mirror World through any mirror and emerge from other mirrors.
With this ability, she could easily enter the Mirror World from other islands, then use the portal in the Mirror World to reach Whole Cake Island and transfer all of Big Mom's treasure away.
More than a week has passed since Erin defeated the old lady.
According to the newspaper, Big Mom has been working with the remaining forces to prepare for a renewed attack on Irene and to reclaim Whole Cake Island. If they had realized the importance of the Roadmap texts and that they shouldn't fall into the wrong hands so easily, they should have taken action long ago.
Before coming here, Kira had already questioned Mira and learned that there had been no unusual activity on the island during this period. In other words, if the other party had secretly moved the treasure, they must have managed to avoid everyone's detection.
Although Eileen's senses are strong, and she even doesn't need to sleep at night due to her dragon transformation, she has been focused on rebuilding Whole Cake Island and managing the administration, and hasn't been too distracted by the treasure. So if someone were to infiltrate and steal the treasure, she might not be able to detect it.
Led by Erin, Kira arrives at the so-called treasure room.
"Wow! So much treasure!!"
As soon as Kira entered the treasure room, he smelled the rich aroma of treasure. His eyes lit up and he drooled. He couldn't help but rub his hands together. "Old Lady really lives up to her reputation as one of the 'Four Emperors,' she has so much money!"
"Excellent! From now on, all this treasure is mine!!"
Boom! !
Irene tapped Kira on the head with her magic wand, neither too hard nor too soft: "This should be mine!"
"Huh?! I thought you were the kind of person who had transcended base desires and had no interest in money! Back when I was in the Alvarez Empire, I didn't see you caring much about the economy of the cities under your rule..."
Kira was slightly surprised by Irene's attitude: "What do you need so much money for? Are you preparing a dowry for Erza? If so, I think it's unnecessary. She's already rich enough!"
Eileen chuckled, saying, "How can money from my mother be the same as money from me?"
"I'm different, I'm very poor!"
"You're still poor? I heard you're so poor you only have money left?" Eileen gave Kira a disdainful look.
"What?! Who's spreading rumors about me behind my back? These are complete lies!"
I still have gold and gems, as well as various magic stones, magic crystals, metal ores, monster materials, magical items, a 12% stake in the Magic Merchant Guild, and...
Kira briefly reviewed his assets in his mind, but due to the sheer volume of information, he fell silent for a moment.
In short, I'm really poor!
"Who would believe your nonsense?!"
"Hey, hey, hey... In this day and age, is there no basic trust between people anymore? I'm your brother, right?"
Eileen's face darkened, and she rolled her charming eyes in exasperation: "...Come on, I don't have an immature younger brother like you!"
Doesn't this guy get tired of emphasizing that fake sibling relationship he had with me every time?
Kira: Not tired at all! Not tired at all!! Who could resist such a powerful, beautiful, and rich older sister?
Hmm... he definitely didn't do it so he could call himself Erza's uncle!
"Speaking of which, Eileen-san!"
"what happened?"
Kira's eyes searched the treasure room for road sign texts as he asked, "I heard they say you can use Concept Attachment to give yourself 'Overpower'?"
I heard the news from Mira. Apparently, during her battle with the Big Mom Pirates, Irene witnessed the three types of Haki for the first time and was amazed. Then, to the astonishment of the group, she used Concept Addition on all her teammates. This move made the opposing side curse and even doubt their own eyes.
"Yes! What's wrong?" Eileen's tone was indifferent, as if she were talking about something trivial.
What's wrong? Others spend years cultivating and barely manage to master this power, but you just add a concept and you can do it? That's way too unfair!
