A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

This day was watched by the world.

Fairy Queen Erza, slaying a dragon with her sword, once again becomes a legend!

Chapter 949 The Final Battle: Killer vs. Kaido!

The sudden emergence of a magical force that defeated the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates, two of the Four Emperors' crews, was unprecedented in the two decades since the start of the Age of Exploration.

It is foreseeable that after tomorrow, all those who fought today will become world-famous!

But now, there is one last duel.

"Now it's just the two of us left, Kaido!"

After cleaning up the trash in the arena, Killer looked at Kaido, who was already completely drunk, and said, "Of course, if you think I'm too strong, believe you can't beat me, and are afraid that you might make a mistake and ruin your reputation, you can choose to surrender and admit defeat!"

"Since you've already lost two matches, regardless of the outcome of this final one, according to the rules, your Beasts Pirates are the losers and owe me a Road Poneglyph!"

As he spoke, Kira glanced at the Beast Pirates in the stands not far away and noticed a few slightly familiar pirates. After thinking for a moment, he added, "Or if you're not satisfied, you can send out the 'Flying Six' from the Three Disasters to fight. We, Fairy Tail, will take on all of them, and we guarantee we won't send any more than one!"

The Flying Six are in the second tier of the Beasts Pirates. Killer doesn't recognize many of the minor characters, but he remembers a brother and sister, a former CP9 member who failed to escort the Gum-Gum Fruit years ago and thus hated Shanks and implicated Luffy, and a beautiful woman who is very attractive in every way, Black Maria.

There were four people who came with Kaido on this expedition, but Killer didn't see Black Maria, so he lost interest in them and only now remembered that there was such a group of people.

On the mage side, even excluding external aids, if we only send our guild members to fight, we still have Elfman, Juvia, Lucy, Wendy, and the Thunder Legion, which is more than enough to deal with the four Flying Six.

With Killer provoking him like this, how could Kaido possibly tolerate it?

"No need for pointless provocation, you arrogant brat! I'm not at the point of being a sore loser!"

Kaido roared, tossing aside his gourd of wine with an air of bravado. Then, fueled by alcohol, he grabbed the thick spiked club beside him and charged forward to fight: "I am 'Kaido of the Beasts'!!"

There are no unnecessary probing or tedious turn-based sequences; those are all performances specifically designed to create dramatic and suspenseful effects.

For those who truly want to decide the outcome, a single move is often enough, and it's a direct, all-out attack with no room for retreat!

The spiked club was instantly stained black by a massive amount of domineering energy, interspersed with faint crimson. Amidst the whistling wind that tore through the air, several terrifying bolts of lightning appeared out of thin air, wrapping around the spiked club like the most loyal subordinates.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!!"

An overwhelming aura, like the most dangerous and unpredictable waves of the new world, swept in like a stampede of ten thousand horses. The terrifying energy impact, with the swing of the spiked club, destroyed most of the arena.

"To think that a single strike was enough..."

"Wow...that's amazing!! Is this the power of 'Kaido of the Beasts'?"

"Looks much better than that old lady..."

Seeing Kaido unleash a powerful attack right from the start, the pirates were deeply moved, their hearts pounding, and they cried out in alarm.

In terms of sheer destructive power, Kaido and Big Mom are not that different. However, the former relies mainly on Haki in battle, while the latter relies mainly on Devil Fruit abilities. The strength of Haki depends on one's temperament, which means that Kaido needs to maintain an indomitable kingly aura at all times. Therefore, the way he appears in battle is naturally much stronger than Big Mom.

The oncoming airflow was like a typhoon hitting a coastal city in September, causing Kira's clothes to flutter wildly in the air. However, no matter how the wind lashed him, Kira remained as steady as a mountain.

The next moment, a large amount of magic power erupted from Kira's body.

Under Kira's deliberate manipulation, the surging magical energy compressed and tightly wrapped around his right arm, while Haki enveloped it. As his fist clenched, black lightning, just like Kaido's attack, burst forth from his side!

"Energy Surge!!"

With a loud shout, Kira pulled his right arm back, briefly gathered his strength, and then threw a punch!

boom!!!

A powerful energy shockwave, no weaker than 'Thunderous Eight Trigrams' and even far surpassing it, surged forth from Kira's fist, carrying violent winds and furious thunder!

The two attacks collided in mid-air, unleashing a deafening sound. Then, a black line extended outwards from the point of impact, cutting the entire arena in two at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow. A thin, yet unfathomable, chasm immediately appeared before everyone's eyes.

The ravines continued to spread, shooting straight into the sky along the arena's defensive barrier, once again splitting the entire sky in two.

Killer and Kaido's first attack divided the space in sight into two distinct black and white areas. Terrifying energy rubbed against each other along the dividing line, like two of the world's strongest men engaging in a contest of power, neither daring to yield.

"Evenly matched?"

A pirate, barely suppressing his shock, stared blankly at the clash on the arena, his lips trembling as he uttered a question: "Are you kidding me?! How can that brat be so strong?!"

"Don't worry! Boss Kaido will definitely win!"

"Hmph! That's not necessarily true! I think that red-haired brat is much stronger than your captain. Maybe 'Kaido of the Beasts' will also fall here today!"

"You bastard! What did you say?!"

"I bet you're all just jealous because Big Mom lost, so you can't stand to see our boss Kaido win, huh? How despicable!"

"Are you looking for death?"

"If you've got the guts, come and fight me! Do you think I'm afraid of you?!"

At some point, the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates began to quarrel, and there was a growing sense that they were about to have a major fight.

Today's duel is undoubtedly the heaviest blow in the history of the Big Mom Pirates. The five strongest members of the royal crew have lost, including their "royal". From now on, all members of the Big Mom Pirates may never be able to hold their heads high again in the New World.

In the world of the sea, it's not scary to be bad at fighting; what's scary is being the only bad one!

Now that the Big Mom Pirates have been completely wiped out, if the Beasts Pirates also suffer three defeats, the world will only think that the mages are very strong, and for some time to come, all the forces at sea will focus on the mages.

But if Kaido wins this final battle, the outcome will be very different!

The fact that the Beasts Pirates turned the tide in the final battle shows that mages are not so powerful as to be invincible. People will think that although Kaido is old, his power is still there, and he is still a king, just slightly out of control.

Conversely, older women couldn't do it.

She lost the duel, lost the territory, and lost the Road Poneglyphs. The world will regard her as a loser of the era, and all members of the Big Mom Pirates will be forever labeled as 'weaklings'!

After an unknown amount of time, the clash of the two energies finally subsided, and the arena temporarily returned to calm. But this calm was like the calm before the storm; an even more terrifying confrontation was just about to begin.

Clearly, this is not a battle that can be decided in just one or a few moves!

With a powerful leap, Kaido's massive body, over seven meters tall, soared dozens of meters into the air in the blink of an eye. After a brief moment of suspended motion, he plummeted down like a meteorite at an even faster speed.

At the same time, the Conqueror's Haki on the spiked club in his hand became even more intense, and there were several more black lightning bolts than before.

"Descend three times, and summon Naraku!!"

With a loud shout, the heavy iron rod, carrying black and red energy, plunged towards the ground with astonishing force.

"A blow from the sky? Perfect, that'll do!"

Kira smirked, his magic rapidly transforming, and a pure white magic circle appeared in mid-air. What then appeared before everyone was the super S-class magic he had stolen... no, I mean, learned.

"Dispel Evil and Reveal Righteousness - Annihilate Heaven!!"

It's still about fists!

It's still a persistent, aggressive approach!

It's that familiar energy shockwave again!!!

Crack!

In the second exchange, the iron rod and the fleshy fist still did not collide, but the energy clash changed from 'left and right' to 'up and down', causing the space to tremble and even produce a shattering sound.

Rumble!!!

Five meters away from Kira on the arena, the ground continued to roll outwards, as if dozens of excavators were working at the same time, digging out a huge pit, leaving only the hundred-square-meter area under Kira's feet to survive.

However, Kira being unharmed doesn't mean the ground beneath his feet is hard enough. The power of this move, 'The Three Worlds', was too overwhelming. The aftershocks alone eroded the arena beneath his feet by more than ten meters. If Kira hadn't blocked most of the attack, there might have been an underwater passage connecting to the open sea in the future.

"This is...this is terrifying!!"

"Is this... the battle of the world's top experts?!"

"Gulp—! A battle of this level, let alone getting involved, even just standing by and watching would be irresponsible with my own life!"

In mid-air, Kaido grinned wildly, his eyes filled with boundless fighting spirit. His body began to twist and change, transforming from a towering, muscular man into a blue-green dragon, clearly entering his beast form.

"That's... a dragon??"

Not everyone on the high seas knew the true power of 'Beasts' Kaido, so when they saw this scene through the live Den Den Mushi, they were all stunned. Soon, they learned a name from the old pirate.

"Zoan Type, Mythical Zoan, Fish-Fish Fruit, Azure Dragon Form!"

Its back is bluish-green, its belly is yellowish-brown, and its claws have four fingers. It can ride the clouds and control fire, just like the legendary Eastern dragon, representing absolute power.

The Azure Dragon hovered in mid-air, opening its massive maw towards where Kira stood. Scalding flames briefly flowed within its mouth before transforming into an extremely hot pillar of fire that shot out.

"Heat Breath!!"

Chapter 950 should end here.

In the audience, Natsu was overjoyed, his eyes shining, and he couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! It's the roar of a fire dragon!"

Although the creature unleashing the flames was an Eastern dragon, not a Western dragon like Igneel, the visual effects were equally stunning, making Natsu's blood boil.

He crossed his arms and said indignantly, "I told you I showed up too early! I should have been here to deal with this guy! The opponent I just encountered could have been handled by Juvia..."

"Natsu, you already said that in the last match."

Happy stretched out his two little paws and shook his head helplessly. "You know Kira's personality. It's obvious he wouldn't leave his strongest enemy for you!"

Natsu's expression instantly fell, and his gaze towards Kira was filled with resentment: "I know, but I still really want to fight that guy!"

Kaido's 'heat breath' is very hot, but compared to Natsu's flames, it's like comparing a candle flame to the sun—the difference is too great!

"That's it?! It's not even as good as Natsu's roar!"

Kira laughed, then waved his hand, unleashing his Word of Power magic: "Freeze!!"

In the blink of an eye, the pillar of fire turned into an ice pillar, broke free from Kaido's control, and returned to the embrace of natural gravity, falling into the giant pit beneath its feet under the influence of its own gravity.

The crowd was stunned for a while before they realized the temperature change in the arena, from extremely hot to extremely cold. A strong wind swept through the arena, chilling the audience to the bone.

When the flames proved ineffective, Kaido changed his attack method, but still roared, "Bad Wind!!"

Kira's wind blades, like the slashes of a katana weasel, could easily tear steel apart, but in Kira's eyes, such attacks were only good for clearing out mobs.

So he struck again, using the same sarcastic tone: "That's it? It's not even as good as Wendy's roar!"

Wendy, sitting in the audience, murmured weakly, "...Am I really that strong?"
