Chapter 919: Wizards Gathering
As we all know, the magnetic field on the Grand Route is very chaotic, and navigation tools such as compasses and magnetic fields are completely useless. If you want to sail here, you can only rely on recording pointers.
The climate and magnetic field of the new world are even more chaotic than those in paradise!
When you get here, you need to use an upgraded version with three recording pointers. These three pointers will point to three different islands. The more unstable they are, the more dangerous the road ahead is. Mature navigators need to choose the best route from them to ensure the safety of navigation.
For Kira and others, the New World is a completely unfamiliar place, and they don’t have any recording pointers, so finding the Torant Sea here is more difficult than going to Sky Island.
Fortunately, the New World is now a mixed bag, and the Torrant Sea has attracted the attention of almost all forces, so as long as you look carefully, you can still find a guide.
Kira turned on the signal transmitter on the Hope and quickly detected the nearby islands. After that, the group dispersed and spent a day finally getting the permanent pointer of Cake Island and several life papers of the people living there from a kind pirate friend.
After preparing everything, Kira drove the Hope towards Cake Island with high spirits.
But before he could think of a cool way to make his debut, the latest newspaper interrupted his fantasy.
"What?! Buggy beat up a Celestial Dragon?? Oh my god! As expected of Buggy, he stole Luffy's spotlight!! Does this mean that Buggy can only be the protagonist of the Pirate World? This has a much greater impact than the Impel Down Riot!"
Kira was amazed at Buggy's legendary deeds, then he looked down and frowned, "How come Gildarts, Cana, and Ace are involved? Could it be that they were the ones who beat the people, and then Buggy's lucky color domineering was attributed to him?"
Kira made this guess based on the plot development of the original work. After all, he is very clear about Buggy's strength and courage. That kind of personality would definitely not be crazy enough to take the initiative to fight the Celestial Dragons!
If nothing unexpected happens, he was persecuted by the people around him and "passively" attacked the Celestial Dragons.
After thinking about it, Kira continued to read on. When he saw the following content, his eyes suddenly flashed: "Is Ace really still unable to escape the fate of being captured? Doesn't that mean we have to go to war again?!"
"The Navy can now go to war with so many forces at the same time?!... What?! Akainu has withdrawn??! Does that mean I'm late again?? No no no... No! It's just that the Navy has withdrawn. The tense and exciting battle has not yet begun, and the alliance between Kaido and Big Mom is still there!"
"He came all the way here to witness the alliance of the two Four Emperors, but he went back without even firing a single shell. This really shames Akainu... So pitiful!" Kira couldn't help but complain, and mourned for Akainu for two seconds in his heart.
But compared to the Celestial Dragon incident, Kira is more concerned about the supernova collision incident.
He suddenly remembered that in the original work, Blackbeard was going to capture Luffy at this time, but he met Ace first. Now it seems that he missed it because Ace acted together with Buggy and Gildarts. As for the appearance of Bonnie, when he saw the three words "Food Street", he understood everything.
The ambiguous words like "we don't know whether we are alive or dead" indicate that the scene must have been very grand. This is normal. After all, Blackbeard is an old pirate, and his strength is not something that Luffy can easily defeat now.
Kira guessed that the Straw Hat Pirates were probably defeated miserably, but they should be able to escape successfully in the end by luck. When they saw the news that Ace was captured, they would definitely break into the war at the top like in the original work.
After completing all the analysis, Kira sighed, put down the newspaper in his hand, and focused his attention again on the severe weather that was raging in front of him.
Storms, huge hailstones, tsunamis, and thunder, the sky and the sea merged into one, like a huge beast that could easily swallow people up, and in the blink of an eye, it could eat up those pretentious pirates without leaving anything behind.
Fortunately, this kind of weather can't conquer Kira's steel airship at all.
Hail? Lightning?
That's just a snack for Gray and Laxus!
Magic clears the way, no matter how overbearing the weather is, it has to surrender in front of Kira. As long as he wants, it will be sunny if he wants it to be sunny, or it will be stormy if he wants it to be stormy. It's so cool.
At this moment, he is the best navigator on this ocean!
"This is what it means to conquer the sea!"
Amidst their complacent self-promotion, Kira and his companions finally arrived at the Torant Sea.
The Torrant Sea area contains 34 islands, which are not far apart and can be reached by boat in less than half a day. For some of the islands, you can even see the borders of adjacent islands by standing on the coast.
So when the Hope sailed in here, the first thing it saw was the large and small sailboats surrounding the island, and the heads of people coming and going like ants.
Kira turned on the magic signal receiver and was surprised to find that there were dozens of magic reactions nearby, and they were basically concentrated on Cake Island. If the people on the Hope were included, then more than half of all the wizards who had been teleported were already nearby.
“Those guys actually found this place by themselves??”
Laxus glanced at the large number of red dots flashing on the signal device and said calmly, "Isn't this great? It saves us from having to look for them one by one."
Kira was very unconvinced and retorted: "What do you know? Only those who can unite and lead their partners are qualified to be called the president of the guild! Now that these people are gathered around Irene-san, doesn't it mean that I am outdone by her?"
"You're still obsessed with the position of 'President'? I don't know why you're so persistent..."
Laxus complained that he used to be obsessed with the position of "President", but later he gradually became indifferent to it. "But then again, in terms of popularity, you can't compare to her..."
"…That's because those guys are just a bunch of perverts!"
Kira was silent for a moment, then pointed out the problem directly: "Seeing that Irene-san is a beautiful woman with great strength and can turn into a dragon, everyone rushed to please her and threw our deep friendship of more than ten years behind their backs!!"
"A bunch of guys who forget their principles for the sake of beauty. If there is no gentleman like me to lead them, I don't know what will happen to Fairy Tail in the future!"
Kira's voice was powerful and he straightened his back, his whole body seemed to be filled with an unprecedented sense of righteousness.
Ten minutes later...
" Irene-san , long time no see!!"
"Brother, I miss you so much!!"
Laxus and the others rolled their eyes at Kira's face, which was smiling like a wild chrysanthemum, and the way he cheered after driving away the old perverts in the guild and standing next to Irene. "This guy's attitude changed so quickly..."
Kira sneered at the attitudes of several people. How could the friendship between him and Sister Irene be compared with those outsiders?
What was more disappointing was that although Irene also welcomed Kira's arrival, what really made her happy was the appearance of Erza. As soon as the mother and daughter met, they started the "gentle mother" and "well-behaved daughter" mode, which made those who knew Erza's nature familiar with them amazed.
"Erza is usually so strong, but I didn't expect that she would show such a good girl side sometimes..."
"After all, they are mother and daughter, so this is normal."
"I really envy Erza. I also want to have a mother like this."
" Mother Irene, please pay more attention to me~"
"Uncle, how old are you? Can you please stop smelling this? It stinks!!"
“…”
With the arrival of Kira and others, a group of wizards started a party carnival on Cake Island.
It has to be said that whether as the queen of a country 400 years ago, or as the 'Scarlet Despair' of Albareth, or as the master of Cake Island today, Irene has demonstrated extraordinary management skills.
Under her rule, the entire Cake Island was peaceful and tranquil, leisurely and comfortable, clean and tidy, and full of order, very similar to Magnolia.
Now Irene is the manager of the island, Mira is her secretary, several Twelve Shields are the captains of the island's guard, and the wizards in the guild serve as guard team members.
Among the several guard teams, the two teams of Brandish and Timaria have the largest number of people. It is obvious what these people are thinking, and Kira is too lazy to point it out to them.
From Mira, Kira learned that those unstable elements who attempted to create chaos and conflicts were driven out by Irene, and the rest were all ordinary people who just wanted to live a stable life.
They now live in harmony with the wizards. They can lead a stable and peaceful life without having to sacrifice one-sixth of their lifespan. From this point of view, the degree to which these people accept the management of the wizards is much higher than that of the Big Mom Pirates.
As Kira walked along, he also found that this place was not like in the original work, where there were talking Homies everywhere. This was probably because Big Mom was defeated by Irene some time ago, and the Homies were ineffective at that time.
Apart from Homiz, the buildings on the island no longer looked like the rumored Cake Island. They had obviously undergone a major renovation and should have been torn down and rebuilt by Irene.
After strolling around the Cake Island, Kira finally found Irene who was having a mother-daughter conversation with Erza. Now it's time to reveal the real purpose!
"Irene-san, after you occupied Cake Island, did you find a red stone?"
Irene was stunned, obviously stumped by Kira's inexplicable question: "What red stone? I haven't searched every room, so I don't know what you are talking about..."
"Why? Is that something important?"
