Chapter 890: Merry, you don’t want Luffy and the others to get into trouble at sea, do you?
There is a concept of soul in the Fairy Tail world. In the original work, Mavis appeared as a soul for a period of time. In the Hundred Year Quest, "Diabolos" had a spirit dragon. After Irene's death, her personality was also attached to Wendy.
If you want to see or feel the soul body, you either have to leave your body (Natsu's soul left his body to fight Reiss), or use special magic to connect with the soul body (Fairy Tail Guild Emblem), or be able to use soul-related magic (Jacob's assassination magic). The nature of the word magic used by Kira is the use of language at the soul level, which meets the third situation, so you can see the soul body even without casting magic.
"Merry looks angry? ? Could it be that she is upset because I just suggested changing ships to Luffy and the others ?"
Thinking of this, Kira suddenly fell silent. He felt extremely embarrassed. His toes were itching to move, as if he wanted to dig out a Magnolia on the ground.
He realized that his actions just now were like coaxing a naive husband who had just been married for two months to go out and find a new lover, but when he turned around, he found that the man’s wife was standing behind him with a hammer in her hand.
It would be strange if the other party is not angry with you!!
"I'm sorry! I was wrong just now!"
Kira sincerely apologized to Meili, "Don't worry! I will help you with a major plastic surgery soon. I promise that you will be radiant and happy again, and you can start a second life on the boat again!"
I don’t know if Kira’s words touched Mary, but she nodded with satisfaction, retracted the hammer and took a step back, as if she had forgiven Kira’s recent sin, while allowing him to do whatever he wanted to her next.
It seems that this 'wife' doesn't want to see her 'husband' encounter any accidents at sea!
This is so touching!
"Who are you apologizing to?" Kira's actions stunned Luffy and others.
"Of course it's your Merry! Well... although it doesn't have Sunny's myriad styles, thousands of changes, super fierce firepower, excellent toughness, and visible size, but it's still cute even though it's small!"
Several people were confused by Kira's inexplicable words and frowned: "What do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything..."
Kira deliberately mentioned it, arousing their strong curiosity, and then kept silent, pretending that he had let the cat out of the bag. "By the way! Listen to my advice, never do any unspeakable, shameful secret private things on the ship in the future, otherwise it will be tantamount to a live broadcast!"
"Huh? What secret private matter..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. Everyone, step aside and just watch quietly from the side!"
Kira's mouth curled up slowly in a happy arc, which was the legendary evil smile, "Merry-chan can't wait, waiting for me to restore her original appearance!"
"Ooooh…ok!"
"Why do I feel like it's weird when he says this..."
Before everyone could react, Kira had already taken action. The huge amount of magic power turned into white light visible to the naked eye, pouring out from his palm and rushing towards the Merry in front of everyone like a rushing stream.
The next moment, something happened that shocked everyone!
The entire Merry seemed to have fallen into a time reversal mode, and began to constantly regress to its past appearance.
First he took off the flying bird headgear that his ape brother had made for him, and then removed the broken wings on both sides. The cracks on the mast and crossbar gradually disappeared, and the sails and pirate flags suddenly became bright and clean, as if they had just been made, spotless. The deck and the sides of the ship that had been damaged beyond recognition were also restored to their original appearance at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The old, damp, rotten wood on the bottom of the ship seemed to have been replaced by hard, dry wood, and the green algae that had covered the bottom of the ship due to long-term immersion in the sea, as well as the foul smell that had been tainted, were also completely dissipated.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Golden Merry was reborn like a phoenix, returning to the way it was when they first saw it.
“Amazing!!!”
"She's actually exactly like the original Merry!!"
"If I can learn this trick, I won't have to spend money to repair the Merry in the future?
They were sure that Kira had never seen the original appearance of the Merry, so the fact that he was able to restore it to this state proved that the magic he mentioned was really an operation like "time reversal".
However, the changes to the Merry are far more than that!
Under the shocked gaze of Luffy and others , the size of the Merry suddenly swelled up, as if its belly was filled with Kira's powerful magic power and bulged. The size of the entire ship suddenly expanded by about one third.
"What's going on?!"
"Merry has grown bigger?!"
It's not that Luffy and the others don't want to ride on a big ship. There are six of them now, and except Nami, everyone else has to squeeze into one bedroom, so life on the Merry would still be crowded. But Merry is their partner after all, and she has been with them for so long, they can't possibly abandon her. But now that Merry has become bigger, it will naturally make it more convenient for them to sail without leaving their partners behind, which is the best of both worlds.
Merry was originally just a small sailboat, and this type of boat can generally accommodate 4-6 people, which is basically the limit for carrying the Straw Hat Pirates. Kira's time return magic can repair it, but to make it bigger, another kind of magic is needed, that is, the form change magic.
Kira has practiced magic to the point where he can cause permanent changes. Even if the magic power is removed, the changes previously caused by the magic will not disappear. There are only a handful of wizards in the history of the magic world who can use magic to this extent.
"It's done! This way, the Merry should be able to last for a while longer."
Kira clapped his hands and looked at his work from left to right, extremely satisfied. "Even though it has become larger, it is just ordinary wood after all, and the craftsmanship is only average. I'm afraid it won't last long. You must be prepared for it to be shattered by wind and waves at sea at any time!"
"There won't be a time like that!"
Luffy's smile was full of confidence, "Because Merry is the best ship in the world, and we also have the best navigator in the world! Hehehe..."
After the Shandians and Angel Islanders declared peace, they held a large banquet, and Kira took the opportunity to hold a trade fair at the banquet, preparing to conduct trade transactions with the Sky Islanders.
As local specialties, various shells are naturally Kira's preferred trading items.
"Rice, wheat, plastic, glass, rubber, cloth, iron, firewood... and the sand you long for the most, are all things you don't have in Baibaihai!"
Kira placed a bunch of things that the Sky Islanders hadn't seen for hundreds of years on the ground, lined them up, and sold them openly: "How about it? You want it, right? I can sell you as many as you want, but I don't want money, I only want shells! Wind-spraying shells, flame shells, cloud shells, water shells, lamp shells, flavor shells, impact shells, slashing shells, and repelling shells... anything is fine!"
The shells from Sky Island have a very long shelf life and will not go bad even after hundreds of years. Moreover, this thing is made with pure natural craftsmanship and the cost is almost zero. Almost every person on Sky Island has a batch of them, so Kira quickly purchased a large batch!
The primitive trading method of barter made the value of the goods of both parties blurred. In addition, Bei was not very expensive for the people of Sky Island, and they wanted to thank Kira for helping them defeat Eneel and board Arpayard. Therefore, Kira made a lot of money at a very low cost.
Three days later, under the watchful eyes of the residents of Sky Island, Kira, Luffy and others set out on the journey back to Qinghai.
Before leaving, in addition to taking Laxus, who had been insignificant in the past few days, the most important thing was to take Eneel away. As for the four great priests, their strength was not strong, and they would not be able to cause any trouble even if they were taken to Qinghai, so they were left in Sky Island. Anyway, even if they wanted to continue to make trouble in Sky Island, they could not defeat the combined forces of Angel Islanders and Shandia people.
…
New World, Torrant Sea.
Ever since the Big Mom Pirates were defeated by Irene, the residents of this sea area have been caught in a tense atmosphere. Everyone lives in fear, fearing that without the protection of the 'Four Emperors', their lives will become precarious like most people in the world, living under the scourge of pirates and the oppression of Tenjo Jin.
For several days in a row, the entire Tollante was peaceful and peaceful, without any conflict. Even the most ordinary quarrels in life almost disappeared without a trace, and most people on the streets did not dare to speak loudly.
The only change is that there are a lot more unfamiliar people around, including navy, pirates, underground forces, revolutionary army... People with all kinds of costumes and strange looks almost fill the entire island in the sea.
Everyone knows that a war is about to break out!!
In a hidden reef somewhere in the Torant Sea, dozens of warships are quietly anchored here. No one knows how these warships got here from the navy's territory and avoided everyone's sight. At this time, there are crowds of people on the warships, and even if there are no ships moving, a tense and solemn murderous aura is faintly revealed.
Akainu, the representative of the Navy in the New World, was smoking a cigar in a room of the main warship and listening to the orders from the Five Elder Stars coming from the Den Den Mushi on the table in front of him.
"Gather all soldiers and launch a general attack on Cake Island in three days!!"
