A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

"This god is so cool!!"

"God, please save Ace!!"

"Colonel, do you believe in God?"

"I've always been an atheist, but if there really is a God in this world, then He must be on the side of justice, otherwise that kind of God is nothing but bullshit!"

"God, I am willing to offer all my wealth and loyalty, just please take us away from this battlefield!!"

"..."

In an instant, both pirates and marines looked at Killer with reverence. This entrance ceremony, which exceeded everyone's expectations, immediately earned him a large number of fans.

In the sky, Kira watched the changes on the battlefield and nodded slightly in satisfaction.

People in the One Piece world are so easy to fool!

Chapter 984 'Fairy Guild' Recruitment Advertisement

Under the holy light, Kira, like a god descended to earth, attracted everyone's attention.

Some people were disdainful of his actions, some were shocked, and some were puzzled, but they all waited quietly for his next move. A strongman whose strength was comparable to the Four Emperors held a pivotal position on the current battlefield.

Finally, once he had captured most of the attention, Kira began his speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, and all you new humans whose genders are not defined, good afternoon! I am Kira Hopelight, a mage from Fairy Tail!"

"The past 22 years have been extraordinary, 22 years of devastation by pirates. Because of the sinful 'Pirate King' Gol D. Roger's dying words, everyone on the high seas has had their lives and work greatly affected, and their mindsets have undergone significant changes. To this day, we have experienced countless battles filled with the smoke of war, and the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing both the overall situation and the overall dynamics) is quietly shifting..."

After reciting a few opening lines from a speech he had read in a book, Kira began to go off-script and start criticizing people from various factions. The first group he called out to criticize was the Navy.

"Nowadays, the Navy is riddled with problems, and many branches of the Navy across the seas are rotten to the core. There are countless people who abuse their power to exploit the people, and some even collude with pirates. This behavior is even worse than that of pirates!"

"Just now, I even saw quite a few naval deserters on the battlefield. They carried the name of 'justice,' but they were cowardly before the battle even began and deserted in the face of danger. Even the captains of the Navy Headquarters were like this. You can imagine what the quality of the naval personnel in the Four Seas Branch is like!!"

Upon hearing this, the navy immediately lost its composure.

The higher-ups are not unaware of the corruption at the lower levels of the navy and have considered rectifying the situation. However, the pirates on the Grand Line have become increasingly powerful in recent years, so the number of naval personnel sent down to the four seas is actually severely insufficient.

In other words, they simply didn't have the time or energy to deal with this garbage that tarnished the name of 'justice,' so they could only turn a blind eye and try their best to maintain the image of the navy on the surface.

But now this stain has been presented to the whole world without any courtesy, which is undoubtedly a great humiliation for the Navy, which has always upheld 'justice'.

In contrast, dealing with deserters on the battlefield is much simpler. There are precedents for this phenomenon in the past, and it can be dealt with directly according to military law.

After Kira exposed the Navy's dirty secrets, he immediately turned his attention to the pirates.

"Since the beginning of the Great Pirate Era, pirates have become an unstoppable force. Most of them do not engage in production, but commit all kinds of atrocities, such as burning, killing, and looting. Some even sell slaves, and phenomena such as usurping power, seizing authority, and plotting to seize countries are endless. Their behavior is insane and outrageous!..."

Hearing the endless hurls of abuse directed at the pirate forces, the marines and pirates below were dumbfounded: "First they cursed the marines, then they cursed the pirates... What on earth is that guy doing?"

"He's offended everyone. Isn't he afraid that the people here will gang up on him?"

"It's completely impossible to tell which side he's on or what he's trying to do..."

After exposing the shortcomings of both the Navy and the pirates to the world, Killer finally revealed his true intentions and began to pursue his ultimate goal: "Given that both of these forces have their own flaws, and that people all over the world have suffered because of them, I have decided to end the Great Pirate Era and bring a new look to the world!"

These words moved the entire audience.

End the Great Pirate Era? How do you plan to end it? By finding the One Piece?

"I believe many people have already heard that the Torant Sea is now the territory of mages. We have established a brand new organization there called the Fairy Guild, and I am the first guild master."

"The main purpose of establishing the Fairy Guild is to solve the increasingly serious problem of re-employment for the elderly on the high seas, to end the harassment of innocent people by pirates, and to curb the exploitation of commoners by nobles! At the same time, it is also to promote the unity of the world and lead everyone to live a life where they are well-fed and clothed, the elderly are cared for, children are supported, and there is freedom, equality, and happiness."

"The Fairy Guild belongs neither to the Navy nor to the pirates; we are independent of any other force. Anyone who has troubles in life can post a request at the Fairy Guild. No matter how small the request, as long as you can afford enough money, we can help you solve any problem."

"Moving mountains and filling seas, calming the winds and creating rain, repelling bandits, and punishing evildoers are all minor issues for the 'Fairy Guild.' I believe everyone has heard about the seven consecutive days of heavy rain in Alabasta and watched our live stream of defeating two Yonko-level groups. So you can all rest assured about the strength of our guild!!"

"Now, as the guild master of the 'Fairy Guild,' I am officially recruiting talents from all fields around the world. Whether you are a chef or a shipwright, a bounty hunter or a retired navy officer, as long as you have a skill and are not a heinous criminal, you are welcome to join our guild at any time!"

This unprecedented job advertisement left everyone completely bewildered.

"Is this guy spouting all this nonsense just to advertise his own organization?"

"A guild independent of the Navy and pirates... That's a nice dream, but with someone like that leading it, they'll probably make a mess of the world very quickly, right?"

In fact, there is no shortage of such forces on the high seas that are independent of the World Government and pirates. For example, shipping companies, news agencies, loan shark companies, etc. are all organizations of this type. However, these organizations are seriously lacking in strength and cannot make a ripple in front of the World Government or the Four Emperors' crews.

But the current 'Fairy Guild' is clearly different!

These people's strength is undeniable. They achieved their titles by stepping on two Yonko crews, which is unique in any organization. Their 'magic', which has been proven not to belong to Devil Fruits but has similar effects, has a huge impact on the current power system of 'Devil Fruit × Haki × Technology'.

The pirates were alright; they were mostly illiterate, short-sighted, and couldn't see the significance of the 'Fairy Guild.' They thought it was just another stronger 'Four Emperors' in the New World, at most the future 'Pirate King.'

The navy couldn't immediately determine whether the guild was good or bad. They weren't committing any wrongdoings; instead, they were solving employment problems and cracking down on pirates and greedy nobles. It seemed like they were doing good deeds and in line with the 'righteous' path. So what reason did they have to attack them?

But the world government leaders don't think so!

Hearing the voice coming from the live Den Den Mushi, they immediately realized the negative impact the 'Fairy Guild' would have on their rule.

From the description, within the sphere of influence of the 'Fairy Guild,' those with special skills can earn money by helping others complete quests; everyone can freely spend money and buy supplies from all over the world; if they see someone or something they don't like, they can pay thugs to teach them a lesson, and afterwards, the other party can't get revenge...

Most importantly, Kira hasn't mentioned paying taxes yet!

Once ordinary people have a platform to earn money, spend money, hire thugs, or even curry favor with powerful figures, will they still be willing to obediently hand over 'heavenly gold' to the kingdom's nobles as before?

Absolutely impossible!

Therefore, the World Government is the first country that does not want to see such a new force emerge on the high seas.

But what they least wanted to see was yet to come!

"Furthermore, there is one more crucial point!"

"We have contacted Morgans News Network and agreed on the cooperation! After today, the Fairy Guild will release rubbings of the three road sign texts and their translations to the world. In the coming period, we will also release methods for learning ancient scripts, with Nico Robin, the only survivor of Ohara, serving as the instructor."

“If someone comes to us with rubbings of other historical texts, we can translate them, but we will also make them public afterward.”

"In other words, if someone has the fourth Road Poneglyph right now, they could set off to find the One Piece as early as tomorrow!!"

These words caused an uproar in the audience!

Publishing the road sign text? And even taking charge of teaching and translation? Wouldn't that be equivalent to completely revealing the One Piece to the world? Neither Roger back then nor the current Four Emperors were that generous!

No wonder they dared to boast about ending the Great Pirate Era; is this how they intend to end it?

Chapter 985 On the surface, they lost; in reality…

The Five Elders, who were having tea in Maringjoy, were getting restless!

Whether it's ancient texts or secret treasures, because they involve a period of history sealed away 800 years ago, these are things that absolutely cannot be made public for them. If someone wants to reveal them now, it will absolutely not be allowed.

The five immediately found a Den Den Mushi and contacted Sengoku, intending to order him to eliminate Kira regardless of the consequences. However, Sengoku didn't have time to answer the phone because he had already taken action.

However, Sengoku's actions were not out of obedience to the World Government's orders. While the Five Elders were still thinking about protecting their rights, status, and the secrets of the Celestial Dragons, Sengoku was thinking about something else entirely.

For Sengoku, he always adhered to the principle of "justice of ruling the world," which meant ensuring the stability of the seas under the management of the navy. His strategic plan was to strengthen the navy, fight pirates, and then, starting with Whitebeard, use scientific weapons to eradicate the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" and "Four Emperors" one by one, finally restoring peace to the seas.

In order to carry out his plans, he always maintained an attitude of 'trying not to disobey' the orders of the World Government.

Sengoku knew that few of the world's nobles were good people, but he also understood the importance of order. Even the worst order was better than a chaotic sea.

What Kira is about to do is to plunge the world into an era of rampage, and then use his immense power and a new set of rules never seen before to control the ocean and reshape the winds.

In other words, one is "taking steady steps and making solid progress", while the other is "destroying the old and then building the new, creating chaos before order".

Sengoku was unsure whether Kira's 'guild order' was feasible, nor was he sure if this group of people of unknown origin and possessing mysterious powers had other motives. However, he knew that even though Kira painted a beautiful future for the world, this process was destined to cause immense harm to the entire world.

The Navy's image is damaged and it is no longer trusted. Pirates lose their dreams and begin to indulge their desires. The existing labels of 'justice' and 'evil' on both sides will become blurred and the boundaries will be broken, turning them into 'birds of a feather' in the eyes of the world.

The existing order will be severely disrupted, and a new order will not be able to be built in a short period of time. During this period, the whole world will fall into endless chaos and confusion.

At that time, people will no longer believe in 'justice' and will easily turn to the idea of ​​'money is everything' and 'money can solve everything' after losing their spiritual support. After all, neither the Navy's 'justice', the pirates' 'freedom', nor the Revolutionary Army's 'equality' are as direct as the 'fairy guild's' 'interests'.

This would undoubtedly be a catastrophic blow to a civilization.

"Your thoughts... are far too dangerous!!"

Kira's actions can be seen as a kind of spiritual 'revolution'. There is already enough trouble on the sea with a revolutionary army led by a dragon. Sengoku naturally cannot sit idly by and watch a second dragon, or even a more dangerous being, appear!

He transformed into a golden Buddha and flew towards Kira, creating sonic booms along the way at extreme speed. But the next moment, everyone heard a loud bang in the air, and then the six-meter-tall golden Buddha was blasted back at an even faster speed.

The Buddha, a being embodying wisdom, strength, and composure, ultimately suffers the consequences of all its attacks when facing Kira's 'double bounce' magical barrier.

"He started hitting people right away. Is this the kind of quality a naval admiral has?!"

Kira made a sarcastic remark, then looked down at the crowd below with a compassionate expression and said, "That's all for the advertisement about the 'Fairy Guild'."

"Next, I hope this war will end, everyone can go home, have a good meal, take a hot bath, and then have a good night's sleep, ready to welcome the new era."

"If anyone feels they haven't had enough fun yet, then come and fight me!"

Unfortunately, not every red-haired man has enough face.

Sengoku ignored Kira's complaints and wouldn't give up after one failure. So he raised his palm, which was radiating a dazzling Buddhist light, and unleashed a shockwave at Kira.

His expression seemed to say, "Fine, I'll fight you then! Who's afraid of who?!"

The shockwave from the Buddha was quickly and visibly bounced onto the battlefield, creating a scene of utter devastation. Sengoku attacked time and again, only to be repeatedly knocked away. Before long, he experienced the same treatment as Kaido.

Looking at the 'Super Buddha' on the ground, Kira's eyes were full of confusion: "Something's not right!! Shouldn't they be announcing the end of the war by now? Is it really because I didn't save face?"

Kira pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

In fact, Kira's words did have some effect. With his appearance, all parties accelerated their actions, either actively or passively participating in the final melee, fearing that one or two new forces would emerge later, making the situation even more chaotic.

After an unknown amount of time, the chaotic battlefield came to an end.

The battle between Kaido, Big Mom, the Three Disasters and Four Stars, and Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru remains undecided; Garp was defeated by Gildarts and is lying on the ground panting heavily; Sengoku was unable to defeat Killer and was instead beaten up with bumps all over his head.

Whitebeard was defeated and killed by the combined forces of Shiki and Bullet; Rayleigh took advantage of the chaos to rescue Ace with Luffy and the others, and then led Ace to reunite with Marco and the remaining crew. The group covered Whitebeard's body and fought their way back.

With the battle seemingly over, the Seven Warlords of the Sea began to withdraw and prepare to leave. Some of the criminals in Impel Down joined forces with Kaido, Big Mom, or Shiki; some successfully seized a ship and began new lives; and a small number were recaptured and returned to prison.

Having achieved their goals of 'attacking the Navy,' 'gaining fame and prestige,' 'recruiting subordinates,' 'slaying Whitebeard,' and 'ushering in a new era,' Shiki, Kaido, and Big Mom decided to call it a day and began to command their subordinates to retreat.

However, the Golden Lion was truly inhuman. Before leaving, he threw two islands into Marineford, almost smashing it to pieces. In the end, Kira had to step in to avert this disaster.

With its combat power greatly diminished, the navy no longer had the strength to pursue them and could only watch as Shiki and his two companions led their pirate crew away in a swaggering manner.
