Chapter 485: Going out to sea
White clouds are floating in the sky and waves are surging on the sea.
On the boundless sea, a specially designed sailboat is sailing fast.
"Great! Finally I can ride a form of transportation that won't make me sick! Laxus, how did you get this?"
Natsu took Happy and ran back and forth on the boat, feeling the sea breeze on his face and feeling comfortable all over.
On the deck nearby, Laxus sat on his specially customized sofa chair, staring at Natsu who was running around like a fool with squinted eyes, his face full of depression.
He didn't expect that Erza would see through his thoughts and even drag Natsu and his gang onto his boat.
Who is this?!
"This is a specially customized sailboat, taking into account the characteristics of Dragon Slayers who may get dizzy when using transportation."
Felide explained to Wendy, who was also puzzled and staring at him with wide eyes, and then added, "I bought it from Kira."
This ship was indeed bought from Kira, but he was not actually involved in the manufacturing, he was only responsible for sales. This was his consciousness as a businessman, only doing business, not production.
"I see!"
Wendy suddenly realized something, but then she suddenly realized something, "Could it be that a second-generation dragon slayer like Laxus would also get dizzy in a vehicle? !"
Thinking of this, the little girl was secretly amazed. She used to think Laxus had no weaknesses...
"It's so noisy..."
Laxus stared at Natsu proudly, then turned to look at Erza who was sitting next to him, "Why do you want to bring them along? The fewer people who know about this, the better."
Erza crossed her arms and legs, not at all embarrassed about being on the boat: "That's true, but we can't ignore the factor of combat power, so I want to bring Natsu and others with me. Aren't you also bringing the Thunder Gods?"
"That's because I need them to drive the boat!"
Say one thing and mean another!
Erza always ignored this kind of arrogant denial and continued to talk to herself, "According to Gildarts, the president and his men did not go to the Albares Empire to negotiate to stop the war, but to visit old friends, trade, and travel."
"This operation is very important. We absolutely cannot disturb their plans, so it's best to pretend to be tourists. The less impact the better!"
“…”
Do you want to listen to what you are saying? You say the impact should be as low as possible, and then you bring Natsu and Gray, two of the most trouble-making guys?
Laxus looked at Erza in disbelief, and found that she was serious and not telling a joke. Suddenly, he felt as if he was struck by lightning.
How deeply does this woman misunderstand her own team? ! !
…
Fairy Tail, Guild Tavern.
Bang!!
Gildarts slapped his own face, feeling annoyed, "I was careless! I should have guessed that these guys couldn't keep an eye on me!!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Kana, who had been pestering him to drink since an hour ago and whose face was now flushed. She did not forget to raise her glass to him cunningly. He did not know what to say for a moment.
The emotions in his heart and lungs finally turned into a helpless sigh: "What a bummer..."
“Come on, come on…keep drinking! Drink!!”
Inhale...exhale...
Gildarts tried hard to control his high blood pressure, his mind full of thoughts : This is my daughter, I can’t be angry with her!
The reason why the president and Kira dared to go was because they were strong enough, and there were even two dragons among them, but what did Laxus and Erza have? Aura?
How dare a bunch of little devils who can't even beat me go out to sea like this? They have no idea at all! Who taught them such lawless personalities? !
"Oh! Now we can only hope that they are okay..."
…
In this world, there are currently four known continents, three of which are closely related to the Kingdom of Fiore, namely Kiltina in the north, Araquitasia in the west, and Ishgar to which it belongs.
The Kingdom of Fiore is located near the sea, facing the other two continents across the sea.
Because there is plenty of magic power in this world, compared to the equally famous hunters and knights, the magician profession has become very powerful and almost occupies the main combat power of the continent. So at first glance, the three continents have the same and very similar culture.
But only those who have been to other continents know that their cultures are very different, such as place names.
In Ishgar, most cities are named after flowers and plants, which means that the people here are full of passion for life; Kiltina is more accustomed to naming cities after food, because people there pay more attention to diet.
As for Arakitasia, due to the continuous baptism of war over the past hundreds of years, most of its city names come from war and military.
In the southeast corner of the continent, there is a coastal city called Cerisil. The name comes from the king of the magic kingdom that occupied this place hundreds of years ago. Although it was only a small country and was annexed by other kingdoms shortly after its establishment, the name was retained.
After many years, the city was incorporated into the territory of the Albares Empire and became one of the important trading ports of this magic empire.
And today, a peculiarly shaped merchant ship sailed into the city's port.
"What is this?"
"It looks like a ship... but a ship like this can actually sail on the sea..."
People in the port were all looking at the sailboat in amazement. This sailboat was different from the ships they usually saw. The biggest difference was that ordinary ships were made of wood, but the ship in front of them was made of a metal that looked like steel.
Due to the constraints of magic, the traditional technology of the Fairy Tail world has not yet been upgraded to the level of being able to use iron ships for navigation, so such a ship has subverted the imagination of the locals.
"Can a ship made of iron sail? How is it possible? Won't it sink?"
"Maybe it's magic..."
"Don't be ridiculous! Although I don't know magic, I know that it takes unimaginable magic power to support a ship like this on the sea!"
Kira stood at the bow, listening quietly to the conversation of the sailors, feeling the shock and admiration in their eyes and mouths. As the captain (self-proclaimed), he felt proud of it and couldn't help feeling proud in his heart.
Look! This is my boat!
On this ship, he was the captain and ship's doctor, Mavis was the chief of staff, Preshito was the navigator, Makarov was the deputy captain, Silver was the shipwright and sniper, Kurnuki was the lookout and mount, Desper and Gerald were fighters, and Urrutia and Selene were responsible for massaging waists and legs, and serving tea and water.
From now on, I will rely on it to travel the Grand Line, conquer the New World, overthrow the Celestial Dragons, find the great treasure, become the Pirate King, and reach the peak of my life!
Just thinking about it makes me happy… slurp——!
Urrutia, who was standing next to Kira, quickly noticed his abnormality and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
“A new era!”
“…”
Kira curled his lips and smiled evilly, secretly happy in his heart: This answer is so cool! ! This woman must be fascinated by me? But unfortunately, I am the man you can't even dream of getting! My heart belongs only to magic and freedom! !
Urrutia: What the hell is wrong with this guy?
"How is it? My boat is great, right?" Silver suddenly came over and asked.
The iron ship that Kira and others are riding on now is his work.
Even though the other party was a mechanical race, Kira could still feel the pride in Silver's heart. That feeling was like a parent showing off his child to others.
"It's my boat now! Watch your lines, Mr. Boatman!"
"Okay, Captain Kira!"
Silver responded cooperatively, then extended his hand to Kira, "Captain, please pay me the money for this month's ship repairs."
Kira was immediately dissatisfied, frowned, and said sternly: "Wouldn't it be better to go to the finance department for this matter?!"
Silver stood there quietly, looking at Kira expressionlessly.
One second... two seconds... half a minute passed...
"What are you still standing here for? I don't have any money!"
"Stop pretending, where's the money you used to buy the boat? How long has it been delayed?!"
