A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Thump!! Thump!! Thump!!

The pounding fists were like a storm, and the sounds they made were like the beating of gongs and drums, shaking the hearts of all the spectators.

Under the barrage of punches, Jack was hammered until he was dizzy and saw stars. He eventually reverted from his human-beast form back to his original human appearance.

until……

His hands, which had been used to resist, fell limply to the ground; the ivory used for decoration was knocked off, and the place where he lay had become a large pit full of cracks.

Jack finally passed out!

He lost the duel in a very humiliating way!

Chapter 946 Erza VS Jin

Fairy Tail vs. Beasts Pirates, Match 2!

Fairy Queen Erza VS. Flame Disaster King!

"You look a lot like that woman from earlier..."

Beneath the mask, Jin uttered these words softly.

Everyone knew that the 'woman' he was referring to was Eileen.

Erza and Irene look about 80% alike, and anyone who has seen them will inevitably wonder about their relationship.

“She is my mother.” Erza answered without the slightest hesitation, her tone as casual and firm as if she were saying, “My guildmates are all my family.”

The pirates watching the battle were immediately shocked.

"Eh?! They're... mother and daughter?! I thought they were sisters!"

"She looks so young and beautiful, how could she already be a mother? Disgusting!!"

"We're both mothers, so why does this older woman look so...unpleasant?"

"Exactly! It's so cringeworthy! I just saw it... Ugh! I can't even talk about it, it's too painful!"

The Big Mom Pirates couldn't stand it anymore and immediately shouted at those who were gossiping about Big Mom: "Shut up! Mom was beautiful when she was young! You're not allowed to make such comments!!"

No matter how ugly she looks, she's still their mother! She's one of the Four Emperors! She's the backbone of the Big Mom Pirates!!

How dare a bunch of petty pirates make such comments?

"I'm telling the truth. If you're so tough, come and hit me!" The man was fearless and even provoked, constantly testing the limits of his own sanity, and his attitude was extremely arrogant.

The other side couldn't fight, of course, because everyone was trapped in their respective seats by Kira and couldn't leave easily. They could only glare angrily at the person who was speaking.

"Just you wait, the Big Mom Pirates will come after you after the duel!!"

The Beasts Pirates laughed heartily, showing no fear of the other party's threat.

"Since they are mother and daughter, I must have inherited her talent, right? That red-haired brat sent you as my opponent, he must have had plenty of confidence in your strength!"

Jin dared not be careless in the slightest. As a descendant of the Lunaria race, he was very clear about the importance of 'bloodline' and knew what kind of terrifying talents the descendants of those strong people would have.

Putting aside other things, our young master Yamato is a living example. It is because she inherited Kaido's talent that she is able to have her current strength.

'Strong against strong, weak against weak! This woman's strength ranks at least in the top four among those mages; barring any unforeseen circumstances, she should be about the same as that kid who used lightning...'

Compared to Jack's recklessness, Jhin was much more composed and took this battle very seriously.

Putting aside the fact that this power struggle involved both sides betting on the precious Road Poneglyphs, the fact that one of them is the first mate of the Beasts Pirates means that he absolutely cannot lose!

Jin slowly drew the long sword from his waist: "Come on! Let me see just how strong you really are!"

"Then so be it!"

"Transformation - Black Feather Armor!!"

Erza gave a soft shout, releasing her magic. A red magic circle appeared beneath her feet, and when the light faded, she was already clad in armor, wielding a sword, and had entered battle mode.

Both were wearing black armor and had wings, and they looked surprisingly similar, except that Jhin was cooler and Erza was more stunning.

Jin looked at it curiously for a moment: "What is this... a new suit of armor?"

"Yes! What I'm using is disguise magic, which allows me to change into different armors to fight based on the characteristics of my opponent!"

"...Is it really okay for you to just tell me your information like this? We're in the middle of a duel!"

Erza looked completely at ease, as if she could easily gain the upper hand by exploiting the information gap, but she wouldn't take advantage of the situation: "It doesn't matter! Because I also know about you from my comrades, so it's fair that you know about me too!"

"...?!"

Even King couldn't help but feel a little suspicious when Erza said she had information about him.

Having served in the Beasts Pirates for decades and fought countless powerful opponents, none of them had been able to fully grasp his information. Could this woman before him… no, this newly emerged mage force really possess his intelligence?!

"Of course, there's another reason!"

"I will definitely win!"

Erza looked up and stared directly into Jin's eyes with unwavering determination. The more than four-meter height difference did not diminish her aura in the slightest; instead, she exuded an invincible confidence.

What a magnificent spirit!

Everyone present was stunned; they had never seen a woman like Erza before.

It's one thing to be fearless in the face of a formidable foe, since every mage who has stepped onto the field before has done so; the key is that this composure, confidence, humility, and integrity are a rare sight on this vast ocean.

Elegant! Absolutely so elegant!

For a time, some people laughed at Erza for being foolish and reckless, while others held her in high esteem.

The mages were also laughing, but it wasn't mockery; it was laughter of admiration.

"Hahaha... Just like Erza would do!"

"Seriously! I'm really fed up with her..."

"So cool, Erza!!"

Jin was silent for a moment, clearly not expecting Erza to say such a thing, and couldn't help but sigh, "Just in terms of this magnanimity, you are better than most people!"

"However, I cannot afford to lose this battle either, so I will not hold back!"

"That kind of thing is unnecessary!!"

Erza shouted and leaped into the air. Then, with the help of her armor granting her flight ability, she accelerated twice in mid-air. She swung her sword with both hands and slashed down with the black feather sword!

At the same time, Jhin also raised his sword and slashed down.

The two swords clashed in mid-air at a 75-degree angle, producing a loud clang. A powerful shockwave erupted from the point of impact, blasting out in all directions.

"I didn't realize you had such strength!" Jin's voice carried a hint of surprise.

"It's too early to be surprised!"

Erza used the momentum to retreat, and as she flew upwards, she swung her Black Feather Sword several times, unleashing four or five incredibly sharp aerial slashes. The slash waves were a bewitching crimson, and each one was enough to cleave through a hundred-meter-thick stone building.

"A swordsman?!" the audience exclaimed in surprise.

In the world of One Piece, there is no clear ranking system for swordsmanship. However, if a swordsman wants to hone his skills, he must learn three techniques: cutting through steel, aerial slashing, and Armament Haki binding. If he can forge his weapon into a black blade, it means he has reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

Generally speaking, if one's mental state and swordsmanship meet the standards, and one can successfully cut through steel and perform a flying slash, then one is qualified to be called a 'sword master'.

As for those who rely on their own destructive power or strong Armament Haki to forcibly achieve this effect, but who do not have the mindset of a swordsman or much basic swordsmanship, they are not worthy of this title.

For example, the old lady can easily cut through steel and can wrap herself in Armament Haki, but she doesn't know much about swordsmanship, so no one would recognize her as a swordsman, and no one would call her a sword master.

Due to physiological limitations, female swordsmen are rare on the high seas. Even in the Navy, there is only one Admiral candidate, 'Momosasa' Gion, and there are none among the pirates.

That's why Erza's appearance surprised everyone who saw it.

Once, she only inspired Tashigi, who was of average talent, but now she will inspire all women who love swords, letting them know that even women can become excellent swordsmen and have the hope of standing at the pinnacle of swordsmanship!

Sizzle—Clang!

He parried with his longsword, blocking all the slashing waves. After a brief stalemate, he deflected them all into the sky, where they exploded into a shower of crimson sparks, looking like a red starlight rain.

Jin looked at Erza again, his expression becoming even more focused: "Because of the live Den Den Mushi, I originally didn't plan to use this ability... but now it seems I have no choice but to go all out!"

Flames erupted all over his body, and then he raised his left hand, forming a bright fireball in his palm.

"flame?!"

In the audience, whether they were pirates, mages, or world leaders who were watching, everyone was greatly impressed.

In the world of One Piece, there are countless characters who can use fire to attack, but most of them are due to the power of Devil Fruits. There is only one reason why someone like King can produce fire on his own!

That is the legendary 'Kingdom of Gods' that lives on the Red Earth Continent, a race that can survive in all kinds of natural environments, but is now almost extinct.

Lunarians!

"Hahaha... This is incredible! Even the rarest Lunaria race has appeared? This live stream is so exciting!"

"That legendary race that's almost extinct? I heard there's a 100 million Berry reward just for reporting their whereabouts to the World Government!"

“I remember a rumor that this race truly lived on the ‘Land of the Moon,’ and that long ago, they were beings known as ‘gods’…”

"Among the 'Ten Thousand Kingdoms,' besides the giants, it's the only race that's missing. I never imagined there would actually be remnants of that race! And they're even in the Beasts Pirates, and they're such famous pirates..."

"Hehehehehe!!! Does this guy know that his actions will attract the attention of the World Government? Is he willing to expose his identity in public just to win? It seems that the successive victories of those mages have put a lot of pressure on him!"

Erza's lips curled into a smile, her eyes reflecting the bright flame: "So you're finally going to use your flames? Then... I should put on that armor!"

In order to finish the battle quickly, Jin decisively rushed forward, his six-meter-tall body traversing dozens of meters in the blink of an eye. His speed was extremely fast, and he did not become sluggish despite his enormous size.

"Emperor Yan!!"

With a loud shout, Jin raised the flame in his hand and slammed it down at Erza!

However, Erza neither dodged nor avoided the attack. Instead, she flapped her wings and charged forward, while a layer of crimson magical energy enveloped her body. She uttered a soft shout: "Change clothes!"

The audience was horrified, staring in disbelief at Erza's moth-to-a-flame-like actions, exclaiming, "Has she gone mad? The temperature of that flame is incredibly high!"

boom!!!

The fireball crashed down, causing a terrifying explosion. The fire spread rapidly, quickly turning the entire arena into a bright, fiery inferno.

But when everyone's gaze fell upon the center of the flames, they were completely stunned.

Amidst the raging inferno, Erza stood proudly, completely unharmed!
