A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

"I see! You're amazing!"

Kira didn't say anything more, but simply put one hand on Neinhart's shoulder, letting him activate his magic, while using the other hand to manipulate the ancient scripture, and several spells were connected in an instant!

……

On Whole Cake Island, all the attacking pirates suddenly felt a chill.

"What's going on? Why does it feel cool...?"

"This cold and eerie feeling is just like the legendary underworld..."

"Wait! Everyone be on alert, someone's coming!"

"Who is that person?! They look so familiar..."

"Huh?? You're... my dead dad? Weren't you dead? Wait, so you really are dead now?!"

"Brother XX?! Weren't you killed by the Navy?"

"Boss XX?! I remember you died after Mom took your soul!"

"That person... could it be that legendary great pirate?! Yes, it's him! I once saw him make a move from afar, and I still remember the scene vividly!"

"I'd heard before that mages had methods to bring the dead back to life, but I thought it was just talk. I never imagined it was actually true..."

"Could this be the awakened power of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit)? Summoning the dead from the underworld to fight?"

"I'm stunned! They even went after the mean old lady next door from my childhood?! What kind of incredible intelligence-gathering ability is this?!"

"Hey, hey, hey... this is no joke! How are we supposed to deal with a bunch of people who are already dead? Onions, garlic, or silver crosses?"

As the fallen warriors stepped onto the battlefield one by one, the pirates' expressions became visibly panicked, and the fear in their hearts almost made them lose the will to continue fighting.

On the battlefield directly north of Whole Cake Island, Kaido encountered an enemy who had died many years ago.

"I remember you, samurai of Wano Country! You should have died more than ten years ago..."

Kaido slung his spiked club over his shoulder, his eyes fixed on the burly, wild man in front of him, dressed in an orange kimono with two swords hanging at his waist. His gaze seemed to want to devour him alive.

"Kaido? You're not dead yet?"

Kozuki Oden strode out of the mist, his wooden clogs clattering under his feet. He drew his twin swords from his waist, raised his head, and stared intently at Kaido's towering figure.

"It seems that what Lingling said was true. Those mages really do have the ability to temporarily revive people and make them fight for them."

Kaido couldn't help but sneer, "Even in death you can't find peace, you're truly pathetic, samurai!"

"You're the pathetic one, Kaido!"

Kozuki Oden assumed a dual-wielding stance, saying, "One day, someone will come to punish your sins!"

"Oh my god!! Even in death you still have such unrealistic dreams? Just like you back then! Just as stupid! Just as cowardly! Just as incompetent!"

Kaido laughed loudly, reminiscing about the past, how he had outmaneuvered his opponent and built a great empire in Wano Country—those were such wonderful times.

But soon, the thought of the man's name and the terrible influence he had on his daughter ignited Kaido's fury. His hair stood on end, and he gripped his spiked club with even more force.

At that moment, Kaido felt that the person in front of him was so hateful and disgusting. He couldn't control his emotions and roared at Kozuki Oden: "It's all because of you. Now my daughter is like a demon, telling everyone she meets that she is 'Kozuki Oden'."

"You bastard, why can't you even let people rest in peace after they've died?!"

With a roar, Kaido swung his spiked club with all his might. Fueled by his burning rage, Kaido unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, causing the massive spiked club to create a high-level effect of black lightning in the air!

The pirate crew following Kaido were terrified by the Conqueror's Haki emanating from him, breaking out in a cold sweat and their hearts pounding: "Oh no!! Boss Kaido is angry!!"

"Wow...what terrifying power!"

"If we were hit by something like that, we'd probably be dead for sure..."

"By the way, who is that samurai? Does anyone know him?"

"I know, he's the son of the former shogun of Wano Country, named Kozuki Oden. He was defeated by Kaido and is very strong, but his personality is just that of a complete clown!"

"I heard that the young lord Yamato greatly admires him, and has been beaten up by Kaido a lot because of it..."

"Shut up! Is that something we should say?!"

On the other side, Kozuki Oden, summoned by the memories of the corpse, showed no fear in the face of Kaido's ultimate move. He resolutely raised Enma and Ame no Habakiri in his hands, wrapped them in Armament Haki, and then jumped up to slash. With a loud shout, he used the ultimate move that had once left a scar on Kaido.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!"

"Oden Two-Sword Style: Togen Totsuka!!"

clang!!!

Before the swinging twin blades could even touch the spiked club, they were blocked from a distance by the lightning bolts on it, the powerful force causing the twin blades to vibrate with a buzzing metallic hum.

The summoned corpse memory version of Kozuki Oden gritted his teeth and used all his strength, even turning his face red and his veins bulging on his hands, but he still couldn't get in!

After a brief stalemate, Kaido's strength finally prevailed. His spiked club broke through the defenses of the twin swords and slammed heavily into Kozuki Oden's chest, sending him flying like a chicken, plowing a huge trench dozens of meters long along the ground!

A powerful force whipped up a gale, sweeping out in all directions!

Kaido put away his spiked club, his fierce gaze fixed on Kozuki Oden, who was sprawled on the ground, his body rubbed like a rag for dozens of meters, and said with disdain and contempt.

"Tch! He couldn't even beat me when he was alive, let alone a dead man?"

Chapter 928 The Old Story of the Old Woman and Roger

"They won...they won...Boss Kaido won!!"

"Kaido, the boss, is mighty and powerful!!"

"I told you so, didn't I? That Kozuki Oden was a clown!"

"Ah... I knew it..."

"What are you all standing there for? Get up and follow me!!"

"Yes...!! Yes!!"

On the northern battlefield of Whole Cake Island, Kaido, relying on his Conqueror's Haki, swept across the entire front line and advanced towards the center of Whole Cake Island with unparalleled force.

Unfortunately, Kira was watching his every move.

On this modified island, neither those with awakened Devil Fruit powers nor those shrouded in Conqueror's Haki would be able to detect the magical traps laid by Giroud.

More than 2000 pirates, under Killer's control, marched rapidly along the attack route he had pre-designed for the enemy.

On the other hand, to the west of the island, the Big Mom herself, leading her team to attack Whole Cake Island, also encountered an incredible 'old rival'.

Charlotte Linlin, one of the "Four Emperors," has made ample preparations in just a few days in order to successfully reclaim Whole Cake Island and avenge her previous defeat.

She sharpened her knife, cleaned her hat, ate her fill of desserts, took a thorough bath, combed her hair, applied the most expensive and vibrant lipstick on the market, and finally changed into her favorite bright pink dress.

However, when she led her 2000 pirates to Whole Cake Island, she found the environment so unfamiliar that she almost couldn't recognize it.

You have to understand, she has lived here for decades, and the Homies are almost everywhere on the island, but the Cake Island she sees now is very different from the 'World of Treasures' she remembers.

If she weren't certain that she couldn't have been infected, she would have even suspected that her daughter, Pudding, had altered her memories.

After arriving on the island, she encountered the same purple barrier spell trap that could trap people, and casually but equally abandoned a bunch of useless minions.

Immediately afterwards, she encountered her second challenge.

At this moment, Charlotte Linlin is riding on the adorable and clumsy white thundercloud Zeus, carrying the pirate hat Napoleon which has turned into a longsword, and beside her is the arrogant orange fireball Prometheus.

Over the decades, the old lady has quelled countless battles with these three guys. It can be said that these three Homies are her most loyal and intimate followers. They even sleep together every night. Even her mature and steady children may not be as powerful as these three.

"Mama~ Mama~ You"

"This guy, even in death, he still wants to meddle in the war between the living? Roger?!"

The man blocking Charlotte Linlin's way had messy, short black hair on his head, a determined look under his eyebrows that hinted at excitement, and two thick, long, black hairs hanging from his nose that curled inwards at the ends, looking like nose hairs but actually more like beard hairs. His lips were upturned, and his whole face was beaming with a hearty smile.

This face is known to almost everyone who has ever sailed the high seas. He is the legendary figure who ushered in the Great Pirate Era.

'One Piece'!

Gol D. Roger!!

The members of the Big Mom Pirates stared blankly, their mouths agape, rubbing and wiping their eyes repeatedly, yet still unable to believe what they were seeing.

"No way?! That person really is 'Pirate King' Gol D. Roger?!"

"Please... how could anyone mistake this face?!"

"Although I had heard the generals mention him before, actually meeting him still felt utterly absurd..."

"The legendary Pirate King truly possesses an astonishing aura! Just standing there all alone inspires admiration and respect. To be honest, I've seen my share of the world, but this is the first time I've ever met someone like him..."

Roger stood boldly in the middle of the road, wearing a pirate cloak with an open chest that revealed rows of strong and well-defined muscles. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and his two thick and powerful arms were covered in thick hair. He carried Ace, one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords, and wore simple trousers on his lower body.

He has a kind of uninhibited and bold look.

"It's been so long, Lingling!"

Roger laughed heartily at the old woman and said, "I was able to reach Laugh Tale thanks to the signpost you had back then. I've never been able to thank you for that..."

Upon hearing these words, the members of the Big Mom Pirates immediately sensed something was wrong: "Oh no! This is one of those things that should never be mentioned in front of Mom...!!"

"That damned Roger, he definitely said that on purpose, didn't he?!"

"It's like stealing someone else's money to go out and have fun, and then showing it off in front of the host..."

"Such a wicked personality, truly worthy of the title 'Pirate King'!!"

Sure enough, Roger's casual words instantly enraged the old lady, who roared, "You...you actually dare to bring this up again?!"

Years ago, due to a carelessness on her part, the old lady allowed Roger to successfully infiltrate Whole Cake Island, secretly make a copy of the red Poneglyph she had placed in the treasure room, and then swagger away, thus successfully escaping and becoming the first to find the 'Final Island', Laugh Tale.

This matter has always been a source of resentment for the older woman. Whenever it is mentioned, she becomes extremely angry and must eventually binge eat or even rip out a few people's souls to vent her anger.

Now that Roger is specifically mentioning this to the old lady, whether it's out of genuine gratitude or arrogance after successfully getting what he wanted, to her it's all blatant mockery!

"You bastard!!"

The old woman yelled, controlling Zeus beneath her, and charged towards Roger in front of her. At the same time, she raised Napoleon in her hand, and with a thought, Conqueror's Haki instantly wrapped around it, drawing out several strands of black lightning. Then, she slashed down with all her might!

"The Emperor's Sword!!"

During this operation, those accompanying Big Mom were the elite of the Big Mom Pirates, who were already familiar with her Conqueror's Haki and therefore would not be stunned.

Even so, the pirates were still so stimulated by the powerful aura and voice that their eardrums ached unbearably, and many of them even had their facial features contorted, making them look extremely ferocious.
