The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

what happened? ?

Who is this man? ?

Why did he fall from the sky? ?

Is Captain Bucky okay? ?

What is the space channel in his mouth?

A series of questions appeared in everyone's minds with the appearance of the man.

The man is about forty years old, with short brown-red hair and short stubble. He has a strong build and a powerful look. He wears a black cloak on his shoulders.

He looks like an extraordinary middle-aged man!

Gildas was very depressed. He didn't expect that he would be on the sea after entering the space channel. Fortunately, this ship saved him. Otherwise, he would not know what to do on the endless sea.

"It's so dangerous...if I had known it earlier, I should have been prepared before coming here."

When he thought of falling into the sea without any support around him, Gildas couldn't help but feel lingering fear, and murmured softly, "Fortunately, the old man didn't come in in the end in order to stabilize the overall situation. If he didn't fall into the sea, he probably wouldn't be able to last long at that age, right? Hahaha……"

While laughing, Gildas's eyes finally met Ace and the others on the boat, so the laughter stopped suddenly, and the scene became a little awkward for a while.

"Brother, do you still want this meat?"

All the pirates:? ?

"You guys are familiar with this, aren't you?! Are all the people on the sea so rude now?"

"Looking at his clear and stupid look just now, it's obvious that he doesn't know where he is, so normally shouldn't he ask where he is first??!"

"Hey!! Uncle!! You just attacked our captain, we can't pretend that nothing happened!!"

"That's right! You have to pay compensation!! You smashed our captain's face and turned red!!"

Before the boys finished speaking, Bucky instantly got up from the ground and shouted angrily: "Whose nose are you talking about that is red and big?!"

The big brother was angry, and all the younger brothers had to lower their heads silently, but they were submissive and did not dare to speak.

at this time……

Gildas came close to Bucky and looked left and right at his face: "Huh?? They must be talking about you, right? Your nose is the only one here that is red and big. It's really strange..."

As he said that, he couldn't help but stretched out his right hand and flicked the red nose.

Bucky: (angry)? ? ! !

All the boys: (surprised)? ? ! !

"It's over. This uncle actually told Captain Bucky's taboo! Now he is dead!!"

"No, look at him suddenly falling from the sky, maybe what's the reason? Just like Ace, if he is also a big pirate, or a crew member of a big pirate..."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! This sea is so vast, and the number of big pirates is only a handful. How is it possible to encounter two of them at the same time in one day? What kind of luck does that have to be?!"

Just when Kabaji and others were in shock, Gildas had already arrived at the banquet, eating, drinking, talking and laughing with Ace.

"Hahaha... So you are pirates? It's a lot different from what I had in mind!"

"Really? Uncle, haven't you ever been exposed to pirates before? By the way, my name is Ace!"

"My name is Gildas! In the past... I had rarely come into contact with pirates, but I had encountered some merchant ships at sea that were engaged in human trade and slave trading."

"Slave merchant ships... there are many of them in this sea." Ace's voice was filled with sadness.

With the advent of the Great Pirate Age, more and more people have become pirates and run to the sea. As a result, more and more dark corners have been exposed. As a result, in the eyes of most people, the slave phenomenon has followed the Great Pirate Age. became rampant with the advent of time.

Admittedly, this is true. The Great Pirate World has indeed made the phenomenon of slave selling more serious, but this phenomenon cannot be entirely blamed on the Great Pirate Age!

Just because the slave trade rate increased from 50% to 70% during the Great Pirates Era, we can't say that 70% is the fault of the pirates, right?

In fact, the slave trade has been around for a long time, but when Roger opened the Age of Pirates, they were basically buried in the dark corners of the world, in places that most people couldn't see.

Ever since humans mastered mature maritime navigation technology, the trend of slave trading began to appear throughout the Great Sea Route, even within the four seas.

The weaker the place, the more people were captured as slaves; the more noble the place, the more people were sold as slaves. And one of the biggest participants is the world's nobles, the Celestial Dragons. Their disregard for life is known to everyone across the sea.

But as far as Ace knew, there was basically no such thing as slave trading in the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"What? From your tone, it seems like you've never done it before? I thought that's what pirates do!" Gildas looked surprised. Originally, he planned to eat all the pirates in one pot after finishing their meal. Understand.

"Not at all!"

Hearing that Gildarts had such a prejudice against pirates, Ashton became anxious and immediately turned around to show Gildarts the tattoo representing Whitebeard on his back, "The Whitebeard Pirates never do business. Such a thing as a slave!”

"Really? That was my misunderstanding! I'm sorry..."

When a person reaches middle age, he comes to a new world. Even for a person as crude as Gildarts, his mind is no longer as confused as before, and his eyes have become vicious. He can tell at a glance that the person in front of him is named Ace. The guy is not bad in nature, he is just a hot-blooded idiot at most.

"I said, do you two still take me seriously?!!"

Listening to the two people chatting and laughing, Bucky felt extremely angry: These two people dared to laugh at my red nose and eat my food unscrupulously on my boat, Master Bucky?

Arrogant! How arrogant!

The most important thing is that this man named Gildas gave Bucky a feeling of déjà vu - that face, that temperament, that way of speaking...it was almost like his lifelong enemy, the red-haired Shank Very similar!

This is exactly why Bucky is so excited and angry!

At this moment, Gildarts' exclamation made the anger in Bucky's chest calm down for a moment.

"What? Devil Fruit? Can you gain magical power if you eat it? Is there such a thing in this world??"

"Yes, uncle, don't you know?"

While eating the seafood sauce noodles on the plate, Ace looked at Gildarts with a puzzled face: "You are a person of this age, but you don't know about devil fruits?"

Gildas smiled and scratched his head: "Hahaha... Because I just came to this world! I used magic before!"

"magic?!"

Ace suddenly thought of Natsu, whom he met in Alabasta, and the news he had just read in the newspaper, and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, are you... are you a magician??"

"yes!"

Gildas answered subconsciously, but thought in his heart: 'Could there be magic and wizards in this world? ? ’

Ace's eyes suddenly brightened up and he continued to ask, "Then do you know Natsu?"

"Is the Natsu you're talking about a boy with cherry-colored hair and a white dragon scale scarf who doesn't look too smart?"

Ace nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes! He can also eat fire, that's so cool!! By the way, there's a flying and talking blue cat with him!"

"That's Happy! So do you know Natsu??"

"Yes, I met him in Alabasta not long ago, and he still owes me a meal!" Ace smiled brightly, and then raised his index finger on his right hand to light up a flame.

Now Gildarts could see clearly that Natsu must have been the one to take advantage of him.

"I am a person with abilities who ate the Shashao Fruit. I can release fire at will. That's how Natsu and I met."

"Hahaha... Really? Then you are really unlucky to face Natsu!"

Gildarts laughed loudly, without any thought of keeping secrets, and directly revealed all of Natsu's magic, "Natsu is a fire dragon slayer. He can eat fire and turn the magic power and physical strength in his body into it. He should be considered a complete master. I have restrained your ability."

"You're right!"

Perhaps because of similar personalities, Ace did not get angry when Gildarts said, "Natsu restrain himself." Instead, he recounted the process of getting to know Natsu, and then said in a depressed voice with a tearful face: "That guy was It suddenly appeared and ate all the fire I made, I was shocked at the time!"

"But I think he was afraid that the flames would burn the town..."

Ace said, "Although it was to protect my brother from going to sea, it was indeed my fault to set fire to the town unscrupulously!"

"No, I think that boy Natsu is just hungry..." Gildarts waved his hand.

Is Natsu worried about the flames burning down the town? ?

Are you kidding me? !
