A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

"This isn't the original Whole Cake Island! Oh, and you know what? I just ran into Roger! And I defeated him!"

"I also encountered a dead ghost... Wait! You can defeat Roger? Are you kidding me?!"

The two chatted back and forth as if they were having a casual conversation, showing no sign of sadness or grief over the loss of a large number of their men.

"After all this talk, where are those mages who took over Whole Cake Island?"

"Why haven't I seen a single person along the way?"

"We're already here, and they still haven't come out. Are they too scared to fight, or did they run away long ago?"

Just as Kaido asked these questions, a dazzling white light suddenly burst forth from the castle in front of him.

A beam of white light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire island and dispelling all the gloom in the sky above Cake Island, as well as the thick fog and various traps within the island, instantly clearing the world.

The white light continued to intensify, blinding everyone.

After a long while, the light faded, and when everyone opened their eyes again, they were astonished to find that their location had changed drastically!

This place has become an arena!

Chapter 933 This is Whole Cake Island, the ones who should get out are...

The familiar arena, the familiar competition format.

This time the theme is 'One Piece VS Fairy Tail', and the host is still Marcus. This guy is talented, so Kira will definitely let him make the most of his talents.

Nearly 10,000 people were present at the event, all of whom were trapped in the audience seats and forced to watch, unable to leave. The number of online viewers watching the Den Den Mushi live stream was countless, spread across the four seas and the entire Grand Line.

Kira originally thought that this was a war and he could easily sweep it away with his "Fairy Judgment" move, but everyone else disagreed.

Some people are kind-hearted and believe that Fairy Tail never takes lives lightly, and even if the other party is a bad person, they cannot kill people indiscriminately. In addition, in the end, they were the ones who took over other people's territory first, and the other party was just taking back their own home. What's wrong with that?

Some people were much more straightforward. They felt that if Kira took care of everyone, they wouldn't get their bounties. Those were pirates with bounties of hundreds of millions; they absolutely couldn't let Kira get away with it!

There are several other attitudes, but regardless of which view is held, the ultimate opposition is to Kira's decision to stand guard alone.

Kira considers himself the current president of Fairy Tail, but not a dictator.

While one can make decisions on matters that benefit the guild's development and growth on a regular basis, one cannot make such life-or-death decisions concerning the guild's survival alone; otherwise, it would be irresponsible to the guild members.

After discussion, the group decided to restart the arena game.

It can not only demonstrate the powerful strength of mages to the world, but also leave the opposing pirate alliance speechless, and allow those restless warmongers to gain both fame and fortune by defeating the great pirate.

Inside the arena.

In the middle is a fighting arena, a very large and spacious area where even a person of this height, like an old lady, can move around with great ease.

In the 10,000-seat audience, the pirates' seats were ordinary, but the mages' seats were quite eye-catching. The most obvious difference was that the former had standing tickets, while the latter had seated tickets, and the chairs were very clean, tidy, and spacious, surrounding the magnificent throne in the very center.

At this moment, Eileen simply sat quietly on it, her graceful and noble figure attracting the attention of everyone present. However, her bright and charming brown eyes were silently watching the commotion in the arena.

In the arena, Killer, Big Mom, and Kaido stood in a triangular formation, with Marcus standing in the middle, explaining the rules of the fight to the audience.

Despite being surrounded by three men, two of whom were incredibly imposing and towering pirates, Marcus showed no fear whatsoever; in fact, he appeared excited and thrilled.

This scene, witnessed by the audience, led to an immense increase in their opinion of Marcus.

"A mere host, being watched by two 'Four Emperors' and ten thousand elite pirates, can still stand there chatting and laughing as if nothing happened. Is this the spirit of a mage?"

"That's terrifying!!"

Marcus, unaware that he had become famous worldwide, was speaking to a live Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) camera, explaining the game rules that everyone had agreed upon.

"The rules of the arena are simple: each side sends out seven people to engage in one-on-one duels to determine the ownership of a total of 35 islands in the Torant Sea, including Whole Cake Island. Each victory in a duel grants five islands."

Yes, they even put the Whole Cake Island they already occupied into the bet, which shows their magnanimity.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman immediately lost her composure. Her face contorted as she glared at Marcus, who was smaller than her palm, her Conqueror's Haki subtly emanating from him. "The Torant Sea has always been my territory. Why should I use it as a wager?"

Marcus was startled and took a half step back.

"You ask why? It's because of my abilities, of course!"

Kira slowly stepped forward to shield Marcus from the invisible impact of the domineering aura. He slightly raised his head, staring directly at the two 'giants' in front of him, his hands in his pockets, seemingly oblivious to the existence of any opponent.

"A fair duel is to give you, the 'Emperor of the Sea,' face. Otherwise, we could have swallowed up all the kingdoms and left you with no place to stand!"

"I advise you to agree, don't be ungrateful!"

Sensing the Conqueror's Haki pressing down on him, Kira also released his newly learned Conqueror's Haki. As their eyes met, the two energies collided in mid-air, creating intense sparks, before shooting straight into the sky.

The clouds over Cake Island have cracked for the second time today.

The simple confrontation, with its unparalleled momentum, stirred up a gale of over level 8 in the arena, blowing in all directions and almost blinding the pirates.

Luckily, I blocked it in time, otherwise Marcus would probably have had his soul ripped out...

Marcus, with his keen perception, silently retreated, hiding behind Kira, too afraid to speak again, while wiping away cold sweat with lingering fear: 'That was terrifying...that was terrifying...'

"This level of Conqueror's Haki...?!"

The old woman stared wide-eyed at Kira in astonishment. "You brat, it seems we really underestimated you!"

What surprised the older woman wasn't that Kira possessed Conqueror's Haki. As one of the Four Emperors, she had seen at least fifty or a hundred people with Conqueror's Haki, so she wasn't surprised by a young man.

What truly surprised her was Kira's mastery of Conqueror's Haki!

Kira's Haki isn't released across the entire area, but rather locked onto a single target and released at just the right moment, striking a perfect balance between maximizing psychological intimidation without causing physical damage.

It's important to know that Conqueror's Haki is very difficult to cultivate. Its strength depends almost entirely on the user's state of mind, knowledge, courage, will, and even the degree of willfulness. All of these require powerful opponents to hone one's skills, a certain amount of time to mature, and a bit of luck before one can achieve success in the end.

This is one of the reasons why Big Mom and Kaido still underestimated Luffy even after they knew he possessed Conqueror's Haki in the original work.

Because Luffy is too young, only 19 years old!

How strong could a normal 19-year-old pirate be, even if he had Conqueror's Haki?

Therefore, they were somewhat surprised by Kira standing in front of them, but not enough to make them take him seriously.

"Worrow! Isn't this great, Lingling!!"

Kaido clearly sensed the clash between Killer and Big Mom. He suddenly threw his head back and burst into wild laughter, forcing large tears from the corners of his eyes. "We're pirates, of course we should decide victory or defeat in the way pirates do! What kind of operation was that, splitting up into smaller teams? It was like the Navy leading troops into battle, what kind of operation was that?!"

"A duel, stakes placed, winner takes all, loser gets out—that's the way pirates should play!!"

Killer's wager was Whole Cake Island beneath his feet. The Beasts Pirates suffered no losses from the duel, so Kaido felt he could now relax and sit back and watch the show.

In this situation, you can't very well ask yourself to fight for the Big Mom Pirates, can you?

After all, according to the rules of the pirate world, when two pirate crews are fighting, a third party cannot interfere at will.

"Shut up, Kaido!!"

"Wanguo is the culmination of my years of hard work! If I win, I'll only be taking back what rightfully belongs to me; if I lose, I'll get nothing. Meanwhile, if they lose, they'll simply return to their original situation, but if they win, they'll take my Wanguo directly. It's not that easy!"

"Tell me, in a normal game of chance, where is there any logic in allowing only one side to place bets?! Is this what you call a fair duel?!"

As expected, Big Mom was displeased and turned to yell at Kaido. The three Homies beside her, Zeus, Prometheus, and Napoleon, were also furious, glaring at Kira.

Just then, the members of the Big Mom Pirates also started shouting.

"We can't say yes, Mom!!"

"You despicable mage, get out of Tavern Lore!!"

"Don't think you can control the whole world just because you've dealt with a few pirate recruits. The waters here are too deep for a young man like you to handle!"

Not only Big Mom herself, but also the members of the Big Mom Pirates in the audience expressed their dissatisfaction with the gladiatorial game proposed by Kira.

You have to understand that while World of Warcraft is Big Mom's territory, it's also a territory that they spent decades painstakingly conquering in the New World. How could they possibly suppress it in a fight like this?

But there's no use arguing; the situation is beyond our control!

Based on the fact that they were able to instantly control 10,000 elite pirates under the command of two 'Four Emperors', they have the ability to do so.

"This is Whole Cake Island, you're the ones who should get out, aren't you?"

Kira glanced at Big Mom's children, led by Katakuri, with a mocking expression.

Normally, these lawless pirates would never tolerate such stares, but things are different now because Killer has activated Haki.

A powerful, overwhelming aura of Conqueror's Haki permeated the entire area!

With a glare, an invisible, terrifying aura instantly spread out, directly assaulting the shouting pirates.

Under the powerful psychological pressure, more than half of the audience rolled their eyes back, foamed at the mouth, went limp, and their brains shut down, causing them to faint.

In the audience, Katakuri gasped in shock: "This guy..."

"How can someone use Conqueror's Haki with that expression on their face?!"

Chapter 934 The Master of Picking Up the Treasures - Akainu

"This live Den Den Mushi is working, which means that the major powers on the high seas are all watching the battle here, right?"

Kira turned his gaze to the live Den Den Mushi (live broadcasting Den Den Mushi) in the arena.

These were collected by him from the reporters who had infiltrated Whole Cake Island. Each visit was perfectly timed, allowing viewers to see the entire arena.

The woman turned her head and glanced at the Den Den Mushi on the ground; those little things were smaller than her eyes.

"Yes, you should. Do you want to say something to this world?"

Having been around the sea for many years, the old lady knew very well that young people like Kira were often arrogant and ignorant, not only liking to show off in front of others, but also thinking themselves superior, while pursuing unrealistic dreams and spouting nonsense about established "big shots".

Kira turned to face the Den Den Mushi, striking a cool pose: "You're right. In a game of strategy, there's no reason for only one side to bet. So if we end up with fewer islands than you, meaning we lose three or more out of five games, I'll return this red stone—the historical text pointing to the Laugh Tale coordinates—to you!"

As he spoke, Kira raised his hand, projecting the phantom of the historical text above him and rotating it 360 degrees for everyone present and those watching the live stream to see. However, the text on it was blurry and unclear, clearly because Kira had blurred it out.

"What?!" ×N

The whole world was stunned, and of course, many were completely dumbfounded.

"What is this? What is Road Poneglyphs?" Most pirates may know about Poneglyphs, but they don't know the difference between regular Poneglyphs and Road Poneglyphs.

Then Kira gave the answer to everyone in the world: "Some of you may not know what this is, so let me tell you! The road map text is the red historical text. There are four pieces in total, and each piece records a location. Connect these four locations on the sea chart, and the intersection point is the location of the final island, Laugh Tale!!"
