A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

She knew perfectly well that Kira spent his days playing or lounging on the airship and had no time to gather intelligence.

Kira could never reveal the truth, so he just smiled mysteriously and said, "Magic is very amazing!"

"This intelligence is quite comprehensive..."

"Wow, that's amazing! As expected of Kira!"

"Knowing the enemy's information makes things much easier!"

"It's not that easy, is it? These Devil Fruits all look incredibly strange!"

"Don't worry, with Erin-san's 'Concept Attachment' helping us temporarily learn 'Haki,' those Devil Fruit abilities are nothing!"

"But I didn't learn it..."

Previously, because Irene and Kira both believed that as long as Haki was applied once, the mage would be able to understand that special way of manipulating magic and thus learn the skill, Irene had already tried applying it to everyone.

However, after removing the additional attributes, it was found that less than half of the people could comprehend them, and the degree of mastery of Armament Haki and Observation Haki varied from person to person.

They then realized that not everyone could retain their domineering skills permanently; it still depended on talent.

What's surprising is that, besides Kira himself, Laxus, Erza, Natsu, and Lucy have also learned Conqueror's Haki!

If we include Selene, who isn't here, then there are now seven people on their side who can use Conqueror's Haki, which is a very shocking thing for any pirate crew!

Actually, no one was surprised that Laxus, Erza, and Natsu could use Conqueror's Haki, since their strength and mental state were obvious to everyone. But Lucy's ability to learn Conqueror's Haki was something no one expected.

Lucy has the mindset of a queen? That's way too far-fetched!

Everyone commented, "I never expected Lucy to be like this," "She seems timid, but she actually has a broad mind," "She's very ambitious, and her future achievements should not be underestimated," and so on.

Even Kira could only mutter under his breath, "No wonder he's the true protagonist of Fairy Tail," while still stunned.

After careful discussion, Kira and Irene agreed that Lucy's Conqueror's Haki talent should be related to the Celestials.

As a descendant of a Protoss family, she may have been born with the qualities of a 'leader', and now she is the master recognized by the Protoss of the Zodiac. It is not surprising that this potential has been activated.

You should know that although Lucy's usual performance is not very good, she can always show extraordinary courage when it comes to things related to the Celestials!

After a while, everyone finally finished receiving the data that Kira had transmitted.

The feeling of receiving information directly in one's mind is not very good. If the content is small, it is acceptable, but if there is too much, it can cause the brain to shut down or even directly cause shock and fainting.

In the original "Oracles of Demons" arc, Hibiki transmitted the super magic "Star Chart History" into Lucy's mind in one go, causing her to faint immediately after unleashing her ultimate attack, demonstrating just how dangerous this ability is.

Of course, Kira's transmission this time was limited and the information was very simple.

If we make an analogy, the Star Chart History is a compressed file of several gigabytes, while this document is only a document of about a hundred kilobytes. Therefore, the mages can accept it. Apart from a certain simple-minded blue cat who felt dizzy, most people didn't feel anything.

"I see... Is this the composition of their strength?"

"They're a family too...and they all seem pretty strong!"

"Hey...look! That guy named Kaido is a dragon! A dragon that can use wind, fire, and lightning! So..."

"Leave this person to me!" ×2

Laxus and Natsu both wanted to take the biggest monster for themselves, but when they realized that the other had also set their sights on their target, they glared at each other with hostility.

"I was the one who spotted him first!"

"This ability clearly means I'm the one who needs to deal with it!"

"Then let's just fight it out and decide who goes after him!!"

"Who wants to fight you, brat? Beat Mira and Erza first before you challenge me!!"

Their intense gazes clashed and rubbed against each other in the air, sparks flying and the arena fell into a tense standoff.

Seeing this, all the mages were speechless and facepalmed: "I knew it would turn out like this..."

"Wendy, why didn't you join in?"

"Heh... I guess I'll pass." Wendy's lips twitched, but she ultimately refused.

Admittedly, Wendy can also restore her physical strength and magic power, as well as enhance her magic, by consuming 'corresponding attribute' items, just like other Dragon Slayer Mages. However, strangely, she is almost completely immune to wind-attribute attacks.

Therefore, even when she encounters an opponent who has the advantage of wind, she is unable to exert any restraint.

"Fight! Fight!..."

"Don't be a coward, Natsu! Show us the results of your training!"

"Go Laxus!!"

"It's been so long since I've felt this kind of atmosphere... So, count me in if we're going to fight!"

"I already told you I don't want to fight, didn't you understand? Damn it! Looks like I have to teach you a lesson!"

"You've clearly been waiting for this for a long time, haven't you?!"

"Just because the president isn't here, do you all want to cause a huge uproar?"

"Oh no! Erza has drawn her sword!!"

"Who said the guild master isn't here? How many times have I told you, I am the fourth guild master of 'Fairy Tail'! Remember that, you bastards!"

"The market is open! The market is open..."

In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere in the room changed drastically, filled with cheers, laughter, and noise, just like in the guild.

Looking at the scene before her, Robin was momentarily stunned. She turned to her good student Levy and asked, "Do people in your guild... often start fighting over the slightest disagreement?"

With the added boost of her pregnancy glow, a tenderness she'd never shown before appeared in Levy's eyes: "Yes! Kira held it in before because he was afraid they'd damage things on the airship, but I bet they've been itching to get going for a while now, haven't they? Look at them now..."

"This is what daily life in 'Fairy Tail' is all about!"

Chapter 924 Burning Mountain: Is this a naval operation or a workplace power struggle?

This was a battle between 2 people and only a few dozen, a stark disparity in strength. Yet, no pirate dared to underestimate the group of mages led by Irene!

"Back from the dead?! What nonsense are you talking about? How could such a thing possibly happen?!"

"It's true! I was there at the time, and I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Impossible, who are you?"

"I am a sail~"

"..."

Although the two leaders had formed an alliance and spent several days together, the Beasts Pirates still couldn't get used to these ever-energetic Homies.

Several days ago, after Kaido and Big Mom joined forces, they set up their main base for the counterattack on Whole Cake Island on an island in the Torrent Sea. The two leaders and their main officers were all there, while the rest were assigned to various islands to guard against a surprise attack by the Navy.

On the first day, Big Mom imbued everything visible on the island with a soul, turning them into Homies. Kaido had no objection to this, and so the Beasts Pirates spent several days in this environment.

However, these days are extremely agonizing.

Every day I thought I was chatting with my friends, but when I turned around, I found that I was actually talking to the ship's deck beneath my feet, the ship's gunwale beside me, the sail above my head, the tables and chairs in the room, and the doors and windows behind me. The feeling that someone was watching me every moment was really eerie!

During the shift change, a fat pirate complained to his companion, "Let's hurry up and finish this fight and go back... I'm going to be driven crazy by those Homies if this keeps up!!"

His companion asked curiously, "Your mental fortitude is really weak, isn't it? They're just a bunch of Homies, is it really that big of a deal?"

"That's not how it happened... Today when I went to the toilet, a toilet made fun of me!"

His companion fell silent, then patted the man's shoulder and whispered comfortingly, "It's okay, brother! Small ones are cute too..."

The fat man was stunned for a moment, then angrily slapped his companion's hand away: "What nonsense are you talking about?! It's mocking my strength! It even said that our Beasts Pirates are weaker than the Big Mom Pirates!"

"What did you say?!"

His companion's face instantly turned angry. "The Big Mom Pirates got attacked, and Boss Kaido brought us all the way here to help them get revenge, and those guys actually dare to laugh at us?!"

Kaido clearly put on a good show and acted very well. Even though they were there to take advantage of the chaos and seize territory, some of his subordinates naively thought they were there to help.

Therefore, the Beasts Pirates are all brainless brutes, with an IQ lower than even a group of Homies—it is precisely because they know Kaido's true purpose that those Homies have given these guys who came to 'help' a cold shoulder.

"Hmph! Once we beat those guys, they'll know who's stronger!"

Not every pirate alliance is as stable as the 'Luffy-Law Alliance', especially since Big Mom and Kaido are both 'Yonko'!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Beasts Pirates' intentions are definitely not as good as they appear, so friction between the two sides is inevitable.

Small frictions, one after another, accumulated rapidly in just a few days, and had an irreversible negative impact on the already fragile alliance between the two sides.

Just one opportune moment, and the two mountains will collapse.

……

As the sea breeze passed, the seawater churned back and forth against the hull of the warship, trying to sweep it into the dark, cold ocean.

Fortunately, these warships had already dropped their anchors, and no matter how turbulent the seawater was, it could not shake them in the slightest. Just like the name of 'justice' behind the navy cloak, they were so steady and immovable.

With the permission of the Five Elders and Sengoku, Akainu led less than a third of the original Marines to keep a close eye on the changes on Whole Cake Island.

Even though the Navy is currently busy organizing its military forces to deal with Whitebeard and doesn't have much energy to deal with this matter, the upcoming war on Whole Cake Island involves two Yonko and a new force called "mages" that is no less powerful than the Yonko crews. Therefore, Sengoku and the Five Elders cannot turn a blind eye to the situation here.

"Any news about the Den Den Mushi?"

"not yet!"

In the office, Akainu smoked a cigar and questioned Kagura, who had just entered the room. However, the report he received was not ideal: "It seems those people were prepared and used Den Den Mushi to prevent eavesdropping!"

Huoshaoshan was also a smoker. His attire was similar to that of an ordinary lieutenant general: hat, cloak, samurai sword, and cigar. The only easily memorable feature was his perpetually smiling face and robust physique, which made him appear both gentle and powerful.

Akainu stayed here not only to bring the pirates of Big Mom's and Beasts' pirate crews to justice, but also to arrest all the troublemakers who attempted to disrupt order.

Besides the mages, there are also unsettling elements here, including people from several factions such as Whitebeard, Shanks, and the Revolutionary Army, which is why Akainu was allowed to stay here with his troops—it's no small matter for all those factions to gather together!

The only ones Akainu might spare are the reporters from the Economic News Agency.

Even someone as ruthless as Akainu wouldn't want to offend this organization that controls almost the entire world's news lifeline too much.

Fortunately, those reporters were also pragmatic and basically avoided appearing in front of all the factions, so Akainu simply turned a blind eye to them.

"General Sakazuki, there's something I don't understand..."

"what happened?"

"What exactly is the attitude of those higher-ups towards those guys who call themselves 'mages'?"

Fire Mountain maintained his usual smile, but his eyebrows furrowed in confusion, as if he had been pondering for a long time without finding the answer. After hesitating for a while, he finally asked, "They haven't acted as pirates, and so far they haven't done anything to provoke the Navy or the World Government..."
