Chapter 864: The war in Alabasta is not so easy to resolve...
Join 'Fairy Tail'? ?
It’s that simple? ?
The "price" Kira mentioned made Robin stunned, and her eyes were full of astonishment. She knew that the "joining the guild" mentioned this time was not the subordinate guild that the agents of Baroque Works joined yesterday, but their... guild headquarters? ?
"Join your guild? Of course I can!"
In Robin's opinion, isn't it normal to learn from others and join their forces?
"However, I think it's impossible to just announce the joining like this, right? Otherwise it would be too easy! What are the requirements for your guild to recruit people?"
"It seems... there are no requirements, right? When I first joined the guild, I joined directly, but now..."
Lucy said this and looked at Kira, the meaning was self-evident: this guy is the one in charge of the guild now, and he has the final say on any requests.
Kira met Robin's eager gaze and said, "You need to learn magic."
"Well...but I don't know magic..." Robin blinked.
Kira waved his hand generously: "It's okay, we can teach you!"
"Then I'll leave it to you!"
Robin smiled gently, but the next moment, her smile froze on her face.
"But I can only teach you if you join the guild."
"So, I don't know magic now!!"
"So I can teach you!"
"Then you... teach me!"
"You join the guild first!!"
“…”×3
I think you are just trying to make things difficult for me, Nico Robin!!!
Robin laughed awkwardly a few times and said, "Actually, after thinking about it carefully, I suddenly feel that learning magic doesn't seem to make much sense. Anyway, as long as I follow you, I can find more historical stone tablets, and I don't have to move them myself. If I have the time to learn magic, it would be more interesting to read a few more history books..."
"Really? You can't help it now? It seems like you're not a patient person..." Kira complained while using space magic to teleport the three of them back to the ground without anyone noticing.
"I feel relieved! Now I have the stone tablet in my hands. The first step of my plan is complete!"
"So, what are we going to do next?" Robin asked.
Kira stretched his back, stretched his arms and yawned: "You can arrange the rest of the time as you like. We'll leave when Erza and the others arrive."
"Where are you going?"
"Let's go to the Seven Water Capital... No, let's go to Sky Island!"
The familiar name took a turn the moment it came out of his mouth, because Kira suddenly thought that now he had taken over Crocodile's Baroque Works, wouldn't it be easy to requisition a few ships?
Since we don’t need to worry about the ship for the time being, gold must be prioritized!
Lucy 's eyes lit up : "You just mentioned the Sky Island?? Is it the kind of island that floats in the sky? Do places like those in fairy tales really exist??"
Kira nodded and smiled, "Yes, there is an island about 10,000 meters above the sea level, formed by special clouds. I think the Hope should be able to reach it."
Lebi closed the book she had been holding in her arms for a while and exclaimed, "This world is so magical! It's just like a fairy tale..."
"Yes! Everything in this world originates from the power of 'imagination'. This is very similar to the concept of 'powerful wishes can become reality' in magic..."
Kira continued to talk about the jokes he had copied from other magical worlds.
Lucy was speechless again: "Where in the wizarding world is there such a concept?!"
…
Happy times are always short-lived. In just half a day, Kira discovered that the atmosphere in Albana had changed. The reason for the change was that the royal army issued an emergency evacuation notice in the town.
Half an hour later, Kira and the others regrouped in an empty cafe.
Wendy, Melty and Romeo were the three children who were responsible for making coffee for the adults, while the adults shamelessly sat back and enjoyed the fruits of their labor. They sat around the largest table in the cafe, enjoying the coffee brewed by the kids, and then talked and gave advice on the future situation of the kingdom.
Old smoker Wakaba put out his cigarette, squinted his eyes and sighed, "What's going on? Kingdom soldiers suddenly appeared on the street and asked residents to take emergency shelter? This is the capital! Will this cause panic?"
Lucy pinched her chin and analyzed, "If I guess correctly, there should be a war, right? When we first learned that Crocus was about to face the attack of ten thousand dragons, wasn't it the same operation?"
"Fighting... those rebels? I heard that this country is in the midst of a rebellion..."
Since arriving in Alabasta, they have been to Nahana, Rainy Land, and now Albana, all of which are very important cities. Even if Makao and others do not care about Kira's actions and spend the whole time shopping and sightseeing, it is difficult not to learn about the rebels from the locals.
"Are you going to interfere in other countries' wars, Kira?"
After all, they are middle-aged uncles who have seen more, thought more, and even have much more life experience than young people like Marcus. They know that Kira wants to stir up some big news to gather his partners. There should be nothing bigger here than starting a war or ending a war.
Since they were from the same guild and Kira had grown up under his watch, he did not dissuade him from his actions. However, if this matter was not handled properly, he would likely be condemned by everyone, so he had to be treated with caution.
"Don't worry, this is not the first time this has happened. I have experience!" Kira patted his chest confidently.
"When did you have experience? Why didn't I know?"
"When the 20 million J was commissioned."
Okay, just ignore what I said.
" With Alabasta in this situation, it's not easy to end the war!"
Although there is only one day, Robin already knows the characters of these people, so she is sure that what Kira wants to do is not to intensify the war, but to end it.
"How dare you say that? Isn't this all Crocodile's fault? You're also his accomplice..." Kira blinked and looked at Robin beside him, "By the way, why do you keep wearing this hat indoors? Aren't you hot?"
During this period, Robin always wore a white fur hat and a white fur coat. I don’t know how she survived in Alabasta, where the average daytime temperature was about to reach 40 degrees.
Robin: “…”
Is my hat bothering you?
"The real problem of this country is the resource problem, we are just exposing this problem!"
Oh?! You are quite good at making up stories...
Kira nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, expose the problem, then solve the problem, sacrifice a group of people in the fastest and simplest way, and then let future people live better. I am familiar with this rhetoric!"
Robin chose to lower his head to drink coffee and continue studying the historical text he had just obtained.
Kira and his friends stayed in the coffee shop all afternoon, discussing how to end the war, and at the same time let the name of "Fairy Tail" and wizards spread throughout the sea in the loudest way.
The problem with Alabasta is the scarcity of water resources, so in order to end the war, they must be given enough water, otherwise the conflict will continue.
But Kira is not a saint, nor is he a pushover, so there is no reason for him to help them for free.
He is a wizard and a businessman. The only thing that can drive him is profit. As we all know, Alabasta is very poor, so it cannot afford to pay Kira to improve the climate and terrain.
Giving them a hearty rain was already a humanitarian act of help, and even Kira felt that he could gain a lot of merit by doing so.
After various analyses, examples, calculations, and speculations, a group of people listed thirteen plans and compared them with each other. In the end, they came to the conclusion of "showing up handsomely when the war is at its most intense, and then using magic to bring heavy rain to the entire Alabasta, or simply to Albana"...
It was exactly the same as the first plan they came up with when they first started the discussion.
Kira is very familiar with this situation. He often encountered this kind of thing when he was working before. A plan was changed again and again, and finally the other party said, "The first one is better."
If Kira was still an employee, he would definitely be furious, but now the situation is different. He is the boss himself. The purpose of the plan is to benefit himself, not to make money for the unscrupulous boss, so he must be more careful.
Not only does he take care of it himself, but he can also find a group of people to help him do it, and they don't have to pay them, which is very comfortable.
"After all, I have become the person I hate the most!"
When the sun set, the group finally finished their discussion. Kira looked at the guys whose faces were filled with tiredness and boredom, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Great! Another afternoon wasted! We have once again spent five very fulfilling but useless hours of our lives. To celebrate this, let's go to the most expensive restaurant in Alba for dinner!"
“Yeah!!”
"Long live Kira!!"
