A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

"Who is it that exudes such domineering aura?"

"This feeling... I felt it the last time I fought a mage. If I'm not mistaken, it was from 'Pirate King' Gol D. Roger!!"

"What?! One Piece... Really?!"

"Katakuri-nii-san, should we go and help?"

The pirates looked toward the commander-in-chief of this war, their most trusted brother and subordinate, Katakuri. As long as he gave the order, they would immediately rush to Big Mom's location to provide support.

Katakuri simply shook his head: "Our mother's strength is none of our concern! That level of battle is not something we can easily interfere in! Our most important task right now is to reclaim Whole Cake Island!!"

"Operation continues!!"

"Yes!!"

Katakuri paused, then turned to look at the person in the group who had been holding the mirror: "Is there still no news from Brûlée?"

"Yes!! The mirror isn't reacting at all!!"

"Damn it!! What on earth happened in there?"

The Mirror-Mirror Fruit can connect the Mirror World, but only when the user, Brulee, is present can the two worlds be connected. Otherwise, it's just an independent alternate dimension. Although it can still be a fairy tale, people inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in.

However, now that Brulee has completely lost contact, there is only one possibility: something must have happened inside.

Katakuri couldn't understand how Brulee had gotten into trouble in the Mirror World, and who had done it to her.

It's important to know that Brulee led hundreds of elite members of his pirate crew into the Mirror World openly and legitimately, right under the watchful eyes of his brothers and sisters. Even after landing on the island, they maintained contact until he proposed 'bringing the trapped people into the Mirror World,' and nothing had happened yet.

In other words, the accident happened suddenly and instantly brought Brulee, the Devil Fruit user, and the hundreds of pirates with her, under control, thus silencing the communication between the two worlds.

Furthermore, to enter the Mirror World, Brulee must be present, but Brulee is unlikely to help others. Therefore, there are only two possibilities: either the other party is mixed in with those hundreds of pirates, or the other party entered the Mirror World long ago.

In fact, besides being strong, kind to his younger siblings, and honest with his opponents, Katakuri is also very smart and has a logical way of analyzing problems. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the second member of the Big Mom Pirates.

However, he was ultimately limited by his knowledge and lacked information about magic, which prevented him from making the correct inferences.

He never imagined that spatial magic existed in this world, let alone that spatial magic could affect the mirror world created by the fruit's power!

At this very moment, Katakuri's worried sister, Charlotte Brûlée, and her hundreds of elite pirates have been imprisoned by Killer in a small, dark room created by space magic, and are in a state of temporary unconsciousness.

Actually, after Irene and the others' first battle with the Big Mom Pirates, Selene warned Irene about the 'Mirror-Mirror Fruit'. So, after that, taking advantage of the time when the island was protected by 'space folding' magic, Irene ordered all the mirrors to be destroyed. This is why Brulee and the others couldn't find a single mirror in the Mirror World.

Once the battle began, Kira connected his Eye of Insight, Magic Perception, and Ancient Scripture, and easily discovered the surprise attack that had infiltrated Whole Cake Island from the Mirror World. He then used spatial magic to transfer them all to his little dark room.

It's called a dark room, but it's actually a place created entirely by magic, with nothing inside.

In Aslant, it is not uncommon for mages to use this kind of magic. For example, Minerva of Saberbite Tiger, Jacob of the Twelve Shields, Marin, a subordinate of Brandish, and Masaki of Diablos, the Azure Dragon, all possess this kind of magic.

Kira learned this trick early on to make managing his personal stash easier, and he was able to manage the space separately, eventually creating dozens of personal spaces of varying sizes.

"First, use spells to take care of most of the weaklings, then use the memories of corpses to deal with the mediocre extras. The surprise troops from the Mirror World have also been dealt with. Then, all that's left are the elite of the elite!"

"Hmm...we can begin the third line of defense!"

Looking at the virtual screen, where the number of pirates had decreased by more than half compared to when he first logged in, Kira nodded in satisfaction. Then, he tapped his fingers on the virtual keyboard, manually adjusting the controls once again.

"How is it, Kira?"

"Is it our turn yet? I can't wait!!"

The mages urged Kira on impatiently, saying, "If this keeps up, you'll wipe out all those pirates before we even get a chance to see them!"

"Hey, you wouldn't be thinking of pocketing all that bounty money, would you?!"

"You know what, this guy is actually capable of doing something like that!"

Kira remained silent for a while, then quietly looked away and said, "...How could that be? Don't overthink it. Am I the kind of person who would hog everything?"

You're absolutely right!

"Really? I don't believe it! Look us in the eye and say it again!"

Kira struggled to shift his gaze back, but still avoided looking them in the eye. His eyes seemed drawn to something, smoothly sliding down to the women's ample bosoms: "I really didn't..."

"He doesn't even dare to look people in the eye... He's guilty! This guy is definitely guilty!!"

At that moment, Kira suddenly realized: girls aren't always sensitive to men's gaze, so men can take advantage of any opportunity to feast their eyes without restraint...

"In short, it's not our turn to step in yet!"

The 'Spell Trap' and 'Corpse Memory' have worked. Now Kira will activate the final line of defense: by modifying the roads of Whole Cake Island, he will cause pirates on multiple fronts to collide. Then, he will use weather, geography, mental magic, and psychological suggestion to lower the pirates' intelligence, disrupt their ability to distinguish friend from foe, or exacerbate the conflicts between them.

After all, pirates are pirates. Even if they form an alliance, they still have their own agendas. As long as you put real benefits in front of them, the so-called alliance will be thinner than paper and brittler than a cookie!

"Huh ha ha ha... Swastika! The evil Eight Treasures plug!!"

Watching Kira sitting there laughing hysterically, Lucy and Happy, along with a few others, couldn't help but huddle together and whisper among themselves, "Kira's acting a bit off today..."

“Every time something like this happens, his level of adolescent angst is a hundred times higher than usual. I’m used to it!”

"Keep your voice down, don't let him hear you!"

On Whole Cake Island, the numerous pirates advancing towards the central castle were completely unaware that the castle they saw was just an illusion, nor did they realize that their direction of advance had long since deviated from their planned course.

Finally, pirate crews began to collide with each other.

Who are you people?!

BOOM!! BOOM!! ...

"Damn it! They've opened fire?! It must be the enemy!! Fire back!!!"

"Something seems off. How can those mages have such firepower?! Should we stop and assess the situation first?"

"No need! The allied forces number in the thousands, how could there be only so few people?"

……

"What a thick fog! We can't see the road ahead!"

"That's strange... there shouldn't be this much fog on Whole Cake Island!"

"Someone's coming?! Watch out..."

"We've been moving towards the center, they can only be the enemy! Set up the cannons!"

……

"Look! There's so much treasure there!! Could it be that we've found the old lady's treasure room??"

"How could treasure possibly be in a place like this?! Don't touch it!!"

"Never mind! Grab it now!!"

"Wait!! Stop it right now..."

"Don't even think about stopping me! You just want to take it all for yourself!!"

……

Similar situations are becoming more and more frequent and increasingly serious throughout Whole Cake Island!

Due to the influence of spell traps and environmental changes, a team of several thousand people can become several dozen, making it unclear for each squad leader and group leader to issue orders.

Pirates, who were already difficult to manage, were further confused and their judgment was impaired under these circumstances, ultimately leading them to believe that the entire island was an enemy.

Those with strong willpower can resist this negative impact on mental strength, and may even be able to drive away their followers, but that is only for a minority.

The endless external forces will cause most pirates' 'magic resistance' to be weakened again and again, until they eventually go berserk, riot, become uncontrollable, and kill each other, just as Kira planned.

The pirate alliance suffered heavy losses in less than half an hour after landing on the island!

Chapter 931 Some people are strategists on the surface, but are actually directors.

Kira knew that many 'guests' had infiltrated the island, and that these guests were broadcasting everything happening on Whole Cake Island to the world via live Den Den Mushi.

To ensure the best viewing experience for people around the world, he incorporated a game module into the war, first using three lines of defense to filter out the 2 pirates, leaving only the elite among them.

This also provides an opportunity for infiltrators from various factions to take photos, relay messages, and gather intelligence.

Then he will create a huge battlefield in the very center of Whole Cake Island, just like Marineford during the Marineford War, to lure the pirates who are still able to move to gather there.

This was done to focus the audience's attention on the single battlefield, rather than letting them be distracted by the hundreds or thousands of battlefields on the island and miss the most exciting parts of the war.

With the greatest fanfare, in front of the whole world, wipe out the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates in one fell swoop, thus announcing the beginning of a new era!

"Let's call this plan 'Gathering Under the City'."

Kira was smug about his plan: "This kind of 'scheme' is worthy of my title as strategist!"

The other mages had no idea what Kira was muttering about, but they felt that he was being too long-winded and deliberate, as if he wanted to show off in front of the whole world.

Kira, who has watched Fairy Tail countless times, knows very well how to design a powerful character. His core trick is to "crush the strong to rise to the top"!

Since the audience is viewing the story from the perspective of the pirate alliance, it's essential to make the early episodes exciting for them!

The specific approach is to let the audience witness the power of the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, such as a 2-strong pirate alliance, hundreds of pirate ships, and the "Two Disasters" and "Four Sweet Commanders," let them show off first.

Then the first act begins: Whole Cake Island opens three lines of defense, showcasing the power of mages while highlighting the core strength of the pirate alliance!

The low-level operatives were powerless against the three lines of defense, completely outmaneuvered, and even lost contact with the 'surprise troops' who had been secretly lying in wait; while the high-level combat forces remained unmoved, even unharmed, and broke through the three lines of defense effortlessly.

When the two are compared, the difference becomes apparent.

Seeing this, which viewer wouldn't exclaim, "Is that Katakuri? No wonder he's the first mate of the 'Big Mom Pirates'!", "Is this the power of the 'Twin Disasters'? I've truly broadened my horizons today!", "The renowned 'Sweet Commanders' are indeed not just for show!"

From then on, the idea that "mages have many tricks up their sleeves, but the pirate alliance has stronger high-end combat power" has been deeply ingrained in the minds of the audience.

At the same time, the second act is released, showcasing the power of the pirate leaders, namely the two 'Four Emperors'!

First came "Kaido brutally beats Kozuki Oden, domineering and mighty," followed by "Big Mom fiercely battles Roger, shaking the heavens and the earth." The clash of Conqueror's Haki made the visual effects absolutely stunning.

These two battles between top-tier experts will definitely get the audience's blood pumping and leave them cheering with excitement!

After Kaido easily defeats the samurai and Big Mom defeats the legend, the foreshadowing of Kaido and Big Mom's strength is perfect. At this point, almost no viewer would still think that the two of them would lose if they teamed up!

After all, they defeated 'Roger' and a seemingly strong samurai whose identity they didn't know!

Although Kira was surprised to find the bombshell news that Roger's bloodline still exists mixed in during this build-up of power, which slightly diverted the audience's attention, it was definitely not a bad thing!

Just like some movies include Easter eggs, they only enrich the viewing experience for the audience.

The film then moves on to its third act: the final battle, where the mages use their unparalleled power to defeat the pirate alliance!
