Chapter 77 Eden: Change of plan! I will no longer be a Shichibukai, but directly become the Emperor of the Sea! (Part 2) (Ch 77)

After all the powerful enemies were forced to retreat.
Magic Valley Town…
In the oasis created by Huangmu with his power, everyone began to party.
“Yo, Mirajane.”
“Did you know?”
“My current strength is incomparable to before!”
“Now I have entered a whole new realm!”
“He can already stand on equal footing with the founders of the Fairy Tail Guild, such as Volod Shinken and President Preshito.”
“The battle for the strongest candidate in the Fairy Tail guild has come to an end!”
“The strongest person under Gildarts is undoubtedly me, Lacusas.”
The first thing Lacusas did was to find Mirajane to show off that he had entered the “inhuman” realm.
Then, Lacusas added: “I am stronger than Eden now~”
“Yeah?”
“Great, great, you are really great…”
Mirajane clapped continuously as if she was coaxing a child.
“How long are you going to keep talking about reaching the ‘King’ realm faster than me, idiot?”
Because Lucy was not around, Eden, who had turned into a complainer, spoke helplessly.
“Natsu, are you going to die?!”
“You’re the one who’s going to die, Gray!”
On the other side…
Gray and Natsu had already been fighting on this thick vine, gritting their teeth and fighting each other madly.
“Natsu, you just released the Dragon Slayer Secret Art and targeted me, right?!”
Gray turned to Natsu and asked the question that had been bothering him.
“I missed the target. I’m so sorry!”
Natsu said matter-of-factly.
“You really are planning to kill me, aren’t you?”
Gray said, already in his ice form stance, ready to compete with Natsu.
“Now that you’ve discovered it, there’s nothing more to say.”
Natsu said as hot flames once again appeared around him.
Well, the ‘Blackbeard’ Marshall D. Teach was just a casual move for him. The one he really wanted to ‘eliminate’ was naturally this guy Gray…
“Calm down, both of you!”
Eden walked up to Gray and Natsu somewhat helplessly, then hit each of them on the head.
“it hurts!”
“asshole!”
“Even if you are Eden, you can’t stop us!”
Gray and Natsu turned to look at Eden and shouted angrily.
“Bulu bru bru…”
At this moment, the Den Den Mushi in Eden’s arms suddenly rang.
“Shh~”
Seeing this, Eden gestured to Gray and Natsu to keep quiet, and answered the call: “Hello? Erza! What do you want to talk to me about?”
“Eden, you bastard…”
Gray and Natsu, who were originally planning to pick a fight with Eden, immediately calmed down after hearing that the person talking to Eden was Erza. They pretended to be harmonious and said, “It’s Erza? Hahaha, you should have told me earlier! We are harmonious today, Erza!”
Well, if we want to subdue these two idiots, Gray and Natsu, Erza is the only one who can do it.
“oh?!”
“Eden, are Gray and Natsu with you too?”
At the Marine Headquarters, Erza was communicating with Eden while holding a Den Den Mushi.
“Here I am.”
“Not only that, Lacusas, Mirajane, Juvia, Happy, and the new members of our guild, Nami, Robin, and Aramaki, are all here.”
As Eden spoke, he pointed the Den Den Mushi in his hand at the people present and whispered, “The person opposite is Erza, also a member of our guild, one of the active S-class magicians, currently undercover in the Marine Headquarters, with the rank of Vice Admiral.”
“Have you already gone undercover to the level of Lieutenant General?”
“I have a feeling that one day, Erza will become the general of the headquarters!”
The person who said this was Mirajane, and it must be said that she understood Erza.
“Erusa~”
“I am now stronger than you and Eden!”
Lacusas crossed his arms in front of him, still with a condescending look on his face, and emphasized that he was stronger.
“Lacusas, Mirajane, you’re all here!”
“That’s great. I have something to announce to you…”
“Because just now, you successfully defeated the Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Aokiji Kuzan…”
“Marshal Zhan Guo just urgently summoned all the officers and soldiers above the rank of brigadier general in this department and held a large meeting with thousands of people.”
“Finally, after some discussion, the following decision was made!”
“Captain ‘Sea King’ Eden’s bounty is 1.8 billion berries!”
“Next are the nine top leaders of the pirate group…”
“The bounty on ‘Thunder Dragon’ Lacusas is 2 billion berries.”
“The bounty on ‘Green Bull’ Aramaki is 2.2 billion berries!”
“The bounty on ‘Demon’ Mirajane is 900 million berries!”
“The bounty on ‘Flame Dragon’ Natsu is 700 million berries!”
“Gray, the ‘Naked Man of Ice’, offers a bounty of 600 million Baileys!”
Before Erza could continue, the moment she said Gray’s nickname…
Natsu couldn’t hold it anymore. He covered his mouth with his hands, laughed and said, “Naked Ice Man? Haha! You and Gray are a perfect match~”
“I see. You want to die, right?”
Gray roughly understood what Natsu meant. He used shaping magic to make an ice sword and prepared to behead.
When Gray and Natsu got into a fight again…
Erza continued, “And finally, there’s ‘Rain Girl’ Juvia, whose bounty is 300 million berries!”
Because Nami, Robin and Happy did not participate in this major event, they were not included in the accumulated bounty.
“Very good!”
In response, Nami and Happy hugged each other and spoke with tears in their eyes.
Yes, these two ‘cats’ don’t want the high reward.
“Is it necessary for the World Government to offer such a high reward for defeating the admiral Kuzan?”
Eden spoke in shock after hearing that his bounty had reached 1.8 billion.
“Do you know how many years it has been since anyone on this ocean has defeated the ‘active’ admiral of the Navy Headquarters?!”
As soon as Eden finished speaking, the residents of Mogu Town who were saved by Huangmu’s oasis immediately complained loudly.
“That’s right Eden!”
“Although you haven’t entered the new world yet.”
“But the World Government has decided…”
“Treat you like the fifth emperor of the sea.”
“In other words, ordinary navy officers will choose to avoid you when they see you! Without the order of the marshal or higher-ups, you are absolutely not allowed to start a war without authorization.”
After thinking for a while, Erza repeated Sengoku’s original words.
“Hahaha……”
“Yeah?!”
“It seems that we have now caught the attention of the top leaders of the World Government.”
Eden smiled softly upon hearing this.
There is a change of plan. He will directly skip the Seven Warlords of the Sea and become the emperor of the sea.
“ha?”
“Why is Eden the captain?”
“This is outrageous…”
After Lacusas heard that Eden was the captain and he was a senior official, he was so angry that his nose was crooked. He approached Eden, took the Den Den Mushi in Eden’s hand, and asked, “Erza, go explain it to the World Government! I am not Eden’s subordinate.”
“How can I explain it?”
“Anyway, your bounty will be distributed to all over the world through Seagull around noon tomorrow!”
“That’s all I have to say. I’ll hang up now…”
Erza said this and hung up the Den Den Mushi.
“Crack~”
Den Den Mushi closed its eyes immediately after Erza hung up.
“Anyway, Eden, my bounty is higher than yours.”
Lacusas looked at Eden and said in a deep voice.
“I’m the captain!”
Eden replied.
“My bounty is high!”
Lacusas continued.
“I know……”
“But I’m the captain.”
Eden continued.
“Eden you’re going to regret this.”
As Lacusas spoke, the magic power in his body surged. The terrifying force shook the sea, causing the oasis created by Huangmu to shake constantly.
“boom!!”
Eden looked at Lacusas who suddenly burst out with powerful magic power. He chuckled, the magic power in his body rippled, and he said coldly: “Do you think I’m afraid of you? Lacusas…”
For a moment, the magic powers of the two continued to collide violently, causing strange changes in heaven and earth.
“Eden, your magic power has become stronger again?!”
As for Lacusas, he was somewhat shocked by the magic displayed by Eden.
At this moment, Eden’s magic power has reached the limit of human beings after the battle with Kuzan. It seems that he can cross the door to the “King” realm at any time and has reached the final step.
It turns out that fighting is the best medicine for breakthrough.
Since Eden traveled to the world of “ONE PIECE”, he has fought against Mihawk, the strengthened Erza and Lacusas, and Kuzan, and has been constantly honing his strength.
As for how to break through the final barrier leading to the ‘King’ realm, what method will Eden use? !
“It’s time to use this thing.”
As Eden spoke, he took out a Storm Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal from his storage space. It was almost at the same level as the Sea Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal in his body.
“Is this the Dragon Slayer Crystal?!”
After Eden took out the new Dragon Slayer Crystal, Lacusas, Mirajane, Natsu and Gray were all stunned. They didn’t seem to have expected that Eden could take out such a precious thing as he said.
“Where did you get this magic crystal?”
Lacusas asked in confusion as he looked at the Dragon Slayer Crystal in Eden’s hand.
“I bought it from a merchant in Kiltina, the northern continent!”
“That guy seems to be called Jorg Lessen. According to rumors, he is also a dragon slayer mage.”
After a moment’s pause, Eden answered truthfully.
In fact, all the dragon-slaying magic crystals in Eden were bought from this channel. (Note: The dragon-slaying magic crystal of the Thunder Dragon King Alexion in Lacusas also came from this channel.)
“Eden, how many Dragon Slayer Crystals are there in your space?!”
In response, Lacusas and Mirajane both asked curiously.
“Leave it alone.”
“I used all the assets I’ve saved over the years to buy the Dragon Slayer Crystal.”
Eden said so.
“You bastard…”
When Eden finished speaking…
Both Lacusas and Mirajane were silent.
“Originally, I was planning to completely merge the piece of Sea Dragon’s Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal in my body with myself, and then absorb the second piece of Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal. But I really can’t accept your face, Lacusas, so since there is no other way, then come on!”
Eden couldn’t stand Lacusas’ ugly face, so he directly absorbed the second Dragon Slayer Crystal.
“boom!”
With a flickering light…
Eden directly used the properties of space magic to integrate the Dragon-Slaying Magic Crystal into himself.
“boom!”
In an instant, the magic power in Eden’s body suddenly boiled up and rushed towards the limit of human beings…
After successfully breaking through the barrier, his magic power will directly reach the “inhuman” realm, that is, the “king” level.
“It will probably take another day for me to fully master the power of this Storm Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal.”
As Eden spoke, he came to Lacusas and whispered, “In other words, you only have 24 hours left before you get carried away. Cherish them, kid.”
“You bastard…”
The corner of Lacusas’ eyes twitched slightly, but he calmed down completely under Eden’s stimulation. He must not be careless and must not relax at all. Once he relaxes a little, he will be overtaken by Eden and others. He needs to be stronger and become even stronger.
at the same time……
Robin still couldn’t believe that Eden and the others actually defeated Kuzan, the admiral of the Marine Headquarters?!
“We actually won?”
Robin muttered, her eyes somewhat dazed.
Since Eden was able to defeat Kuzan, the admiral of the navy, in other words, she was completely safe.
No longer need to live in fear like before.
“I told you~”
“Just leave the fighting to us.”
Eden noticed Robin’s confusion and he whispered to comfort him.
“I just can’t believe that Kuzan, the government’s top fighter and one of the three admirals of the navy, would actually lose…”
Robin smiled and murmured.
“The three admirals of the navy?”
“Are there three more beings who can rival that monster just now?”
Lacusas caught the key point in Robin’s words and asked.
“Yes.”
“The Navy has three admirals…”
“They are Akainu Sakaski, Kizaru Borsalino, and Aokiji Kuzan.”
“Above them is Marshal ‘Big Buddha’ Sengoku, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, former Marine Marshal Sora.”
“Of course, in terms of combat power, they are not stronger than Kuzan, the general, but at least they are not inferior.”
“After all, they have all served as admirals.”
“Besides that, there is also the naval hero ‘Iron Fist’ Garp, who is said to have repeatedly refused to be promoted to admiral and once forced the ‘Pirate King’ Gol D. Roger into danger.”
“That’s all I know about the Navy’s advanced warfare.”
Robin told everything she knew about the Navy’s advanced combat capabilities.
“I suddenly realized that I have a long way to go!”
“When the time comes, I will fight one by one, Eden who has broken through will deal with one, and Brother Huangmu will deal with one. That will only take three admirals of the navy.”
“The remaining two marshals and the naval hero, a total of three people, can’t all be left to Gildarts to deal with, right?!”
Lacusas crossed his arms in front of him, and suddenly he realized that his own fighting power seemed to be a little insufficient.
Although, no matter who the enemy is, in Lacusas’ eyes, Gildarts will never lose.
“And Erza.”
Mirajane suddenly interrupted at this time.
Well, who is the number one Erza in the Fairy Tail Guild? !
It must be Mirajane.
“Erusa? Still young.”
After thinking for a while, Lacusas curled his lips.
If Mist was here at this moment, he would definitely point at Lacusas’ nose and say, “Lacusas, I think you are blind again.”
“…”
Just when Lacusas and Eden felt that the combat power of their Fairy Tail Guild was still not enough and their strength was still not strong enough…
Ace, who had been standing beside the two and listening to their conversation, and Teach, who had just woken up and was weak and unable to move, were both stunned.
“Are these guys serious?”
“Are they planning to take on the entire Navy Headquarters on their own?”
“And judging from their tone, it seems that there are some of their companions who are even more powerful than them?!”
Ace and Teach looked at each other, both of them with deep shock in their eyes.
At the same time, Teach also understood the current situation.
Well, Kuzan was defeated and left on his own.
Doflamingo saw that the situation was not right and ran away immediately.
Only he, poor Teach, was caught by Ace.
The world where only Teach was hurt was finally born.
Then……
“Bang!”
With a slight sound…
Under Ace’s iron fist, Teach fell asleep again.
“So Ace, what are you going to do with this guy?!”
Eden asked as he looked at Ace who had captured Teach.
Because of his intervention, the war at the top in the original novel might not have happened, and Ace was not caught by Teach. Instead, Teach became the one who was caught…
As for the other members of the Blackbeard Pirates? !
Don’t know?
Just now, it seemed that he was frozen by Kuzan, and happened to enter the range of the thunder released by Lacusas. Is he about to be reincarnated now? !
“I’m going to take him back and leave him to Dad.”
After thinking for a while, Ace spoke seriously.
“Didn’t this guy kill your companion?”
“Then can’t we just kill him here?”
Eden asked in confusion, seeing the stubbornness in Ace’s eyes.
“No!”
“I won’t kill him…”
“I want Dad to handle it himself.”
Ace said stubbornly.
“What a trouble!”
“If I leave it to you to handle it alone, I’m afraid that guy Teach will escape before you even reach Whitebeard’s territory.”
Eden spoke with some distress about this.
Based on Eden’s understanding of Ace, this guy would definitely let Teach run away while escorting her to Whitebeard’s territory…
What’s even more outrageous is that Teach might counterattack and capture Ace and hand him over to the World Government.
By then, the war at the top will be absolutely inevitable.
“ha?”
“Are you looking down on my strength?”
Ace looked at Eden angrily and said angrily.
“Isn’t this obvious?”
Eden sighed helplessly: “Although I really want to go to Whitebeard’s territory with you, after all, I’m really afraid that this guy Teach will run away!”
“But we have other things to do. It’s so confusing~”
“If Mr. Makarov were here, I wouldn’t have to worry so much.”
Eden looked helpless. If the old man was here, he could ask for his opinion.
As the saying goes, having an old person in the family is like having a treasure.
“Makarov?”
“Makarov Dorea?”
After hearing the name, Ace was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked Eden.
“Why, you know him?”
Eden frowned, confused by Ace’s reaction.
“Is this Makarov you’re talking about the one who is usually very short? But when he gets angry, he can become even bigger than Oz, the Colossal Titan?!”
Ace continued to ask Eden.
“Yes.”
Eden nodded.
“Forehead……”
“He’s on Dad’s boat right now!”
“He is Dad’s new sworn brother.”
Ace said this after being silent for a long while.
“ha?”
As Ace finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.
Finally, it was Eden who spoke to Lacusas who was in a daze beside him: “Hey, Lacusas! What good news! You have a lot of uncles now.”
“Shut up, you.”
Lacusas stroked his tense face and spoke weakly.
“uncle?”
Ace looked at Eden in confusion.
“This guy’s full name is Lacusas Dolea, the grandson of our guild leader Makarov Dolea.”
Eden explained to Ace.
“Oh! Hello, nephew.”
After Ace got Eden’s explanation, he finally understood the current situation. He waved to Lacusas and said hello.
“roll.”
Upon hearing this, Lacusas punched Ace away.
