A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

The dragon remained silent for a long time without answering.

It wasn't until Kira was about to leave that his voice was heard: "If that time really comes, another group of 'us' will naturally come to end the evil!"

……

The World Government's downfall was even more abrupt than Kira had imagined.

Now, all he could hope for was the One Piece, so he returned to the Fairy Kingdom and found Kaido drinking while waiting for Robin to solve the mystery.

The entire puzzle-solving process took a day because, in addition to each of the four road sign texts recording a location, there was also a quarter of a sentence explaining how to obtain the One Piece.

In other words, even if you find the location, you won't be able to get the text if you don't collect all four pieces!

With Robin's translation, the group learned that the location marked on the fourth signpost was 'Top of the Treasure Tree,' which is the top of the Adam Tree on Elbaf Island.

The other three locations are 'the bottom of Fujiyama,' which is the ancient land of Wano; 'the cave of the red earth,' which is the Ryugu Kingdom of Fishman Island; and 'the cave of the blue sea,' which is the destroyed giant kingdom, now the large crater in the sea on Enies Lobby.

According to existing nautical charts, their connection point should be in a region of the New World with a highly disordered magnetic field. More specifically, it should be on the seabed between Elbaf and the Calm Belt, surrounded by giant sea monsters.

Although the location was a bit dangerous, Killer felt he could handle it and that he still had time, so he set off with a group of people who wanted to search for treasure, including Robin, Kaido, and Luffy's crew who had come after hearing the news.

With the help of the location artifact 'spatial magic', the group collected the permanent pointers and locked onto the final location in just three days.

Coincidentally, when they arrived there, they happened to encounter Bucky, who had wandered in by mistake and should have been left to die.

That's absolutely fantastical!!

There was no need to coat the ship; they simply used water magic to separate the seawater and then froze it with ice magic. A wide road lay before them, and the group walked confidently through the giant sea king's lair to the deep seabed.

The final island is a sea island similar to Fishman Island, surrounded by bubbles, with deep-sea mangroves providing fresh air and a safe place to land.

The group landed on the island and discovered giant robots, unknown giant insects flying around, and giant statues wearing straw hats. It looked like a 'secret base' of some giant child, full of childhood memories.

The treasure trove naturally contains a large amount of 'treasure', but this 'treasure' is frozen and sunk in the sea outside the island, visible but untouchable.

Robin found a historical text here that recorded the story of this place, which roughly said:

Joy Boy, the leader of a tribe of giants in ancient times, spent a long time finding all the things he liked and building a secret base. When his friends heard about this, they all thought he was the most powerful hero among the giants and hoped that he would share these things with everyone so they could play together.

Joey Boy, of course, refused, shouting things like "I don't want to be a hero," and then moved his secret base here.

To protect his treasure from being stolen, he even built a massive iceberg outside that could only be opened by using his 'Nika ability' to rubberize it, serving as the final barrier to safeguard his treasure.

Throughout the entire plan, the only person he didn't hide it from was his good friend, the mermaid princess, who was Poseidon at the time, because he needed the mermaid princess to command giant sea monsters to help him protect this place.

The Little Mermaid felt that since her help was needed, she should also have a share of the treasure. The secret base should be shared among them, and Joy Boy agreed.

So, to be fair, the mermaid princess ordered the giant sea king to move the iceberg carrying the 'treasure' to a deeper part of the seabed.

Because Joy Boy is a power user and cannot go into the sea, when they want to retrieve this 'treasure', the mermaid princess needs to have a giant sea king lift up the iceberg, and then Joy Boy needs to use his power to open the iceberg.

"Well, how should I put it, he really is the kind of brat I hate..."

Kira gazed at the massive iceberg in the deep sea and suddenly understood why Roger had laughed like that in the comics—the situation before him was indeed quite absurd.

It wasn't just because the massive iceberg in front of them required such a childish, playful approach to open it; it was also because, at a glance, the so-called 'treasure,' apart from a small portion of gold, silver, and jade artifacts, consisted mostly of 'junk'!

Their true appearance is that they are simply discarded products from ancient technology!

For ordinary people, this might indeed be a treasure, because it's a giant's toy, with all sorts of mechanical cars and robots. Although they're broken down, they're still big enough, and many children like these kinds of things.

For scientists today, these toys are invaluable treasures, as the technology and materials used in them are rare. If they were sold on the market, they could easily rival Walpole, which made its fortune with Walpole alloys.

Kaido cried, and started drinking from his gourd while crying.

Luffy laughed, a loud laugh, pulling Usopp, Chopper, Franky, and the others along as they chased after the giant insect, then screamed in surprise at the giant robot.

Bucky was crying and laughing at the same time, I don't know what he was thinking, maybe he just bumped his nose?

Gazing at the scene before him, Kira remained silent for a long time before finally murmuring, "So this is what Joy Boy and the Little Mermaid's promise meant? This is a path I never imagined!"

Kira wandered around this secret base for a long time, trying to find something interesting, until he came to the giant straw hat and saw a photo album.

The album contains photos of four teenagers: a giant child wearing a straw hat, a sweet and lovely but enormous mermaid girl, a beautiful and youthful blue-haired girl, and a boy with an odd appearance but a resolute face.

Around them, there are always various broken mechanical toys and dirty rare metals. Occasionally, there will also be uniquely shaped robot figures, a bald doctor's laboratory, a girl in a kimono, a gentle and beautiful mermaid sister...

Based on the existing clues, Kira is almost certain that the four are Joy Boy, Poseidon, Lily, and Im, and they seem to be childhood friends.

"So, when Im was looking at the photos in Marienjoia, was he reminiscing about someone?!"

Kira stored everything in his personal space, then found a deserted island in the Fairy Kingdom to settle it on, and contacted Morgans that same day to reveal the One Piece.

The next day, the world was in an uproar.

Pirates from all over the world flocked to see the legendary 'Treasure of the Pirate King,' and Killer took the opportunity to sell admission tickets. The business hours were from 9 am to 6 pm, and 10,000 Berries could buy a day's admission for one person.

Chapter 992 Return and Legend

Magnolia, at the end of the central street, the Fairy Tail guild tavern.

As the spatial passage opened, about a hundred figures fell from the ceiling, crashing to the ground with a thud.

After more than half a month, the mages of 'Fairy Tail' are finally back!!

"It hurts so much...!!"

"Perfect landing!"

"You're pressing down on me! Get up!!"

"Levy, are you alright?!"

"You should lose weight, Lucy..."

"What?! That's incredibly rude to say that to a girl!!"

"Aaaaaah!! Lord Gray, feel free to lie on top of Juvia, you can do whatever position you want!!"

"It's the guild! I really miss it... It's been more than half a year since I last saw them..."

"Alcohol!! I want to drink!!"

After a brief commotion, everyone sat down in their usual spots.

Natsu sniffed the air like a dog: "Nothing's changed at all in the guild..."

"It's more than just unchanged!"

Gray touched the table, then showed his empty hand to those around him. "Look, there's not a speck of dust on the guild's tables, chairs, bar, or floor. That's truly unbelievable!"

Harpy stared with her clear, big eyes and guessed, "Could it be that someone helped us clean up the guild during this time?"

"Could such a good thing really happen?!"

Kira stated confidently, "Whoever helped us clean the guild, I think that person must be kind-hearted and love the guild very much!!"

"The only one who would be willing to do something like this for the guild is probably the First Generation, right? But she's not here right now, so you're flattering her too soon!"

Kira shook his head and sighed at Erza: "So you're still too naive, Erza! You need to work on your magical perception!"

"What's the meaning……??"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guild door was slowly pushed open, and a man and a woman walked in hand in hand. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful; they were Zeref and Mavis.

Seeing the scene in the guild, Mavis's face lit up instantly. She let go of Zeref's hand and rushed to Wendy, who was closest to her and the same height as her: "You're back?"

Welcome back!

"First Generation, I miss you so much...!!"

"Watch out! Jelf's over there..."

"So you were the one who helped clean up the guild, right?"

Yes, that's right.

"Waaaaah... I'm so grateful to the First Generation!!"

Mavis said with a slight embarrassment, "Actually, besides me, August and Larcade also helped..."

Kira glanced behind Zeref, not seeing the two unfortunate kids, then nudged Zeref and whispered, "So you guys... let the kids clean up and then leave to enjoy yourselves alone?"

“No, that’s not true! Those two went with Precito to teach magic lessons to the children at the orphanage.” Zeref smiled and placed the shopping basket he was carrying on the table.

"Oh...then what are you feeling guilty about?"

"I have nothing to be ashamed of!"

They don't even dare to look people in the eye, yet they say they have nothing to hide?

"Wow, you actually know how to buy groceries?!"

Kira peered into the basket and found it was full of fruits and vegetables, with not a single piece of meat. He was speechless. "I'm telling you," he said, "you guys can eat as much meat as you want and you won't get fat, so why do you only eat vegetables?"

"The meat isn't fresh today..."

After Zeref finished speaking, he skillfully picked up the vegetable basket and headed towards the guild's kitchen. Mavis followed him inside.

This scene utterly shocked Kira: "Are all the butchers in Magnolia this heartless now??"

After Kira had searched the guild thoroughly and finally followed a burning smell to the kitchen, he was certain that in the half-month or so since they had left, the guild tavern had been ransacked by the couple.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at the mess in the kitchen, anyone who didn't know better would think they'd been through some shady fight there.

Seeing Mavis frantically trying to do something at the stove while Zeref chuckled and gently gave her instructions, Kira couldn't help but twitch his lips.

No wonder I didn't buy meat...

The first generation's cooking skills still need improvement!

Having been away from here for more than half a month, everyone in the guild was eager to go home. So after a brief farewell, they all rushed home, since their homes were not the guild's and no one could help them clean up.

So those with family members looked for family members, those with partners looked for partners, those with best friends looked for best friends, and those with gay friends looked for gay friends.

Kira, who has nothing but money, can only hurry to buy some fresh vegetables before the morning market closes so he can cook at home.

"I knew that guy was lying. There's nothing wrong with the meat, he's so shameless..."

When Kira returned to Hope House, grumbling to himself, he was surprised to find the house incredibly clean and tidy, as if a smart home robot had cleaned it.

When he finally recognized the busy figure, tears welled up in his eyes, and he exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Hiring you as my housekeeper was absolutely the right decision!!"

At this moment, Ultear, who had been offline for a long time, was cleaning the Hope Hut with her magic.
