A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

In an instant, the entire sea began to boil once again.

"What? Is that how it is?"

"Wait, if that's the case, where is the final stop for us to record the pointer?"

"With that thing, will we be able to find the Great Treasure?"

"It seems this has saved us a lot of time..."

"You little brat... that thing really ended up in your hands!! But it was originally mine too!!" The old woman was very unhappy. She was absolutely certain that the road sign text Kira mentioned was the one she had collected!

The island was her territory, and the texts were her collection, but after a battle, they were all stolen and are now being used as stakes. Does this person even respect her, this "old lady"?!

If Kira knew what the other person was thinking, he would definitely answer her question righteously and firmly: No! He didn't even consider the mere 'Four Emperors' a threat.

"Sorry, it's mine now!"

Kira didn't include the islands in his private property because there were too many of them, they were too large, and he hadn't yet conquered them all, but the road signs could be stored in space.

What you've already got is yours!

"If you don't agree, I'll have no choice but to ask Nico Robin to release the contents of the Poneglyphs! You don't want others to share the results of your hard work, do you?"

"You brat!!" the old woman screamed instantly, staring wide-eyed at Kira.

The audience was stunned. What had they just heard?

Nico Robin? The orphan of Ohara? Is she now with this group of mages?

So, do these mages now have both historical texts pointing to Laugh Tale and Nico Robin who can decipher them?

Wouldn't that make them the people in the world closest to the One Piece?

Upon realizing this, all the big shots instantly became excited. Even Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru from Marineford, as well as the Five Elders from Marinejoia, couldn't sit still.

"They must be arrested!"

"Contact Sakazuki! Move out immediately and capture these lawless pirates!!"

What kind of mage? They are clearly dangerous elements just like the Revolutionary Army, one of the destabilizing factors causing chaos in this world!

They immediately dialed Navy Headquarters and Akainu's Den Den Mushi, and began frantically issuing orders.

Inside Whole Cake Island, Akainu has led a large number of Marines ashore and is currently looting the bodies.

Those tens of thousands of pirates from the Four Emperors' crews—whether dead, seriously injured and unconscious, or slightly injured and exhausted—will become another achievement in his naval career in a few days.

If he could also become king, he would undoubtedly be the king of finding bargains.

While obeying orders to arrest the pirates, the naval soldiers secretly rejoiced that they had stayed behind and gained such a great military merit for nothing.

"What do we do now, Admiral Sakazuki?" the surrounding marines asked, awaiting Akainu's answer.

They had clearly heard the commands coming from the Den Den Mushi, but they weren't really keen on obeying them.

Akainu put down the Den Den Mushi, his expression shifting between light and dark: "Catch pirates? He wants to too!"

But their opponents consist of two Yonko (Four Emperors) crews and a group of mages whose strength is no less than theirs, including three or four Yonko-level fighters! On the other hand, the Navy only has one high-end fighter here. How could they possibly win?

Without a second thought, he abandoned the mission and commanded, "Take those pirates on the island who have lost the ability to resist back to the G1 branch first!"

He hates evil, but he's not an idiot!

If they foolishly go looking for trouble now, they might lose even the pirates they've already captured.

"Yes!!"

The naval soldiers were pleasantly surprised, thinking to themselves, 'It seems Admiral Sakazuki is quite understanding after all, not as ruthless as the legends say…'

Inside the arena.

"Okay, I agree to your terms!"

After weighing the pros and cons, the old lady finally accepted Kira's bet.

Of course, she wasn't just after the Roadmap and Whole Cake Island, but also her sons and daughters—her loyal crew whom she had carefully nurtured for decades and couldn't afford to lose easily—Brûlée was still in Kira's hands!

Kira smiled and gave her a thumbs up: "Great!"

This is the spirit of the 'Four Emperors'. Even though she knew her opponent was not simple and that she was at a disadvantage in this bet, Big Mom did not shy away from the challenge because of her confidence in her own strength.

"Mother?!"

In the audience, Katakuri and his siblings stared at their mother in astonishment, seemingly never expecting that someone with her personality would compromise with a little brat.

"Want to join us? 'Beasts' Kaido?" Killer turned his gaze to Kaido, who had been watching the drama unfold.

These words stunned not only the online and offline audiences, but also Kaido himself.

"Kid, are you sure?" Kaido looked down at Killer in surprise. "Challenging two 'Yonko' at the same time? Aren't you being incredibly arrogant?"

"My name is Kira! Kira Hopelight!"

Killer ignored Kaido's taunts, simply stating his name before saying to himself, "You brought two of the 'Three Disasters' this time, right? Then let's have three battles. But I'm not interested in your territory, so let's wager the 'Road Poneglyphs'!"

"If you win, I'll give you a copy of the road sign I got from the 'auntie'; if you lose, give me a copy of the one you have!"

hiss--!

The audience was in an uproar.

"What?! Not just Big Mom, Kaido has one too...??"

"A bet on the road sign text? This must be the most influential gamble in centuries, right?"

"Two road sign texts that I've never heard of before have suddenly appeared. Is this sea really about to be hit by an unprecedented storm?"

"By the way, where are the other two pieces...?"

"Hahaha... How interesting!! From now on, is this world about to enter the final battle for the throne of 'Pirate King'?!"

On the arena, the tide is turning once again.

Upon hearing Killer's challenge to Kaido for a duel, Big Mom flew into a rage once again, screaming at Killer in her grating voice, "You brat?! You actually used my Poneglyphs to gamble with Kaido...?!!"

"Wow!! You've got some ambition, kid!"

Kaido interrupted Big Mom with a maniacal laugh, unleashing a terrifying aura that clashed with the auras of Killer and Big Mom, resulting in a stalemate. "While you're a bit arrogant, I don't dislike your tone!"

The three's Conqueror's Haki stirred up the storm, tearing a giant 'Y' shape in the sky above the arena, creating a tripartite balance of power.

"Although you call yourselves mages, compared to those 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' who are just playing house, and the countless Supernovas that emerge every year, your behavior is more like that of pirates than pirates!"

Immediately afterward, to the astonishment of the audience, Kaido shouted a statement that shocked everyone: "I'll admit it for once, your Haki is enough. It truly has the qualities to make you a 'King.' Given time, you will inevitably become the most troublesome existence on this sea!"

"So...why don't you want to join my pirate crew?"

The audience was once again horrified.

"Hey, hey, hey... Really?! What did I just hear?! That arrogant 'Beasts' Kaido actually said that person is superior to the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea'...?!"

"Has he forgotten that there's a Mihawk among the Seven Warlords of the Sea who's on par with Shanks?"

Killer hadn't expected Kaido to suddenly invite him. Even Luffy's display of Haki in the original manga hadn't earned him praise. Could it be that his own Haki...?

Actually, it's incredibly powerful?!

Chapter 935 Laxus VS Katakuri

"Kira Hoplight! Your bet is accepted by the Beasts Pirates!!!"

Kaido is a pirate, a very pure pirate. He is ambitious, cruel, ruthless, and cunning. These words are all appropriate to describe him.

Therefore, he looked down on Whitebeard, who was clearly very powerful but was just playing house at sea with a bunch of kids, and he also looked down on Shanks, who was equally powerful but dedicated to maintaining the balance of power and world stability.

But he didn't look down on the old woman. Although she also had a family, for her, the identities of her son and daughter were just an extra layer of protection for her identity as a 'crew member,' a lesson she learned from the Rocks Pirates.

Kaido, who once served as an apprentice on the Rocks Pirates, is well aware of what happens to an unstable and disunited pirate crew when faced with a major crisis.

By the time the audience snapped out of their daze at Kaido's challenge, the duel in the arena was about to begin.

Perhaps in order to gain the upper hand first, the Big Mom Pirates sent out Katakuri, the strongest member of their crew besides Big Mom, in the first match.

This was not unexpected for Kira, so he also put Laxus, the opponent he had prepared for the other side, on the field.

Laxus was initially not very satisfied with this arrangement, because in his opinion, as the third strongest mage, he should be matched up against King of the Beasts Pirates based on the amount of his bounty.

However, after Kira persuaded him that "Katani is stronger than King," he reluctantly agreed to Kira's arrangement.

Katakuri, also known as "Katakuri-san", is 48 years old, over 5 meters tall, and is the first mate of the Big Mom Pirates. He has a bounty of 1,057 million Berries, is proficient in all three types of Haki, and possesses the ability to awaken his Devil Fruit.

King, also known as "Wildfire," is 47 years old, over 6 meters tall, and is the first mate of the Beasts Pirates. He has a bounty of 1.39 billion Berries, possesses Lunaria blood, dual-color Haki, and the ability of an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit.

Although the bounty is lower, judging from their stats, Katakuri is undoubtedly stronger than Jhin.

In the arena, Laxus and Katakuri stood a few meters apart.

Laxus kept his cloak on, raised his head slightly, and stared at the man in front of him who was more than twice his height, his brows furrowing deeply.

"No matter how many times I see it, this height always bothers me!"

It's so tall, and you have to look up to see it. It looks like you're at a disadvantage from the start. How could someone as proud and arrogant as Laxus possibly stand for that?

So Laxus silently made a decision: 'Follow the plan, take him down as quickly as possible!'

Clang clang clang!!

"The match begins!!"

Amidst the intense anticipation of the crowd, Marcus rang the bell, announcing the start of the duel.

As soon as he finished speaking, Laxus raised his hand, clenched his fist, and gathered golden lightning. He launched a probing attack, leaping up and flashing above Katakuri's head before slamming his fist down!

"Lightning?!"

"Could it be the Rumble-Rumble Fruit??"

"No, the 'magic' those people are talking about seems to involve the ability to manipulate elements, and the other party doesn't show any signs of being a nature-based being..."

"Hmph! Even lightning is useless against it!"

"That's right, because Katakuri is perfect! His strength far exceeds your imagination!!!"

Watching Laxus's incredibly swift movements in the arena, the pirates remained completely calm, for they had absolute confidence in their brother, even knowing that he had been defeated by the 'resurrected' Roger in their last battle.
