The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

Under the mask, Bruno's face was heavy.

Because he had a hunch that he was probably going to die today.

He was no match for Erza. The other party was determined to protect Nico Robin, so he would definitely not be able to catch him. As a senior agent under CP, the only outcome for failing the mission would be death.

In order to protect Nico Robin, Erza even said, "Is the World Government ready for a war with Fairy Tail?" This shows that the other party is not afraid of the rights of the World Government at all, and is definitely not a law-abiding person. power.

Because generally speaking, it is those who belong to the World Government who ask those lawless pirates whether they are ready to become enemies of the World Government.

What should I do now? Temporarily retreat first? Or stay and fight to the end?

Bruno made a decision: as a member of CP9, he not only had to risk his life to complete the orders given to him by his superiors, but he also needed to obtain information about his opponents for the subsequent battles of his companions!

Even if he really can't beat him in the end, he still has the air door to escape.

So he attacked: "Shave!"

Bruno increased his speed to an extreme this time. His figure disappeared and reappeared several times in the air, moving left and right, thereby interfering with Erza's judgment and shortening the distance between him and Erza in a very short time. The speed was so fast that Robin, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, could not see clearly, but to Erza, although his movements were fast, they were still within the predictable range.

Sure enough, the next moment...

"Point gun!!"

Bruno appeared, and with a loud shout, he thrust his right index finger forward. However, when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, his pupils shrank because Erza, who was still standing there, had disappeared at this moment. !

His attack failed!

In the flash of lightning, Bruno's peripheral vision swept to his side, and his charming red hair disappeared in a flash.

Uh-huh! !

There was a flash of sword light, and the two men were dislocated.

Bruno's finger still kept poking forward, one finger trembling in the air; while Erza looked calm, looking straight ahead, and there was a touch of bright red on the edge of the sharp sword in her hand.

Phew——!

Pillars of blood sprayed out from Bruno's chest!

It turned out that Erza had already slashed him in the blink of an eye! !

Bruno fell to his knees with a thump. The old face under the mask was full of horror and doubts about everything that happened at that moment. He coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and asked in disbelief: "You...are... How...did it...??"

"I have seen through your moves. The so-called 'shaving' move actually uses the explosive power of stepping on the ground dozens of times in a very short period of time, and you habitually point towards 10 o'clock and 1 o'clock when attacking. The direction of movement alternates; when using the 'finger gun', there is a short break in the left chest; when using the 'iron block', it cannot move..."

Erza kept talking about Bruno's combat flaws, and every point she pointed out made him deafening. After performing the mission for so long, this was the first time that he knew that he had so many 'habits' and 'flaws'. When he heard the end, he even had the illusion that he could win even if he was an idiot.

Bruno fell to the ground with a 'bang'. When he fell, he muttered to himself: "So... I have... so many flaws...?!!"

wrong! It’s not that I have many flaws! But this woman named Erza...

too strong! ! !

Ever since he became an agent of CP9, Bruno never thought that one day he would lose so quickly and be chopped down without even using his Devil Fruit ability.

Robin, who was not far away, had been stunned for a long time. She couldn't understand the principles and flaws of the 'Six Styles', nor could she understand Erza's explanation, but she was shocked inside.

How could there be such a strong woman in this world? !

This is not relying on the ability of a powerful devil fruit, nor is it relying on some innate racial talent, but simply relying on human beings' own skills of observation, analysis, and combat experience. In just one round, After a tentative fight, I found a way to defeat a CP9 so cleanly and easily that the results of the opponent's decades of hard training were easily wasted like a joke...

Robin felt that he could suddenly understand why Natsu, Gray and the other magicians respected and feared Erza.

"It turns out that she didn't show her true skills at all in that battle in the rainy land..."

…

On the other side, Spandam, who couldn't contact Bruno, turned around and called Lu Qi, Kagu and Kalifa. After getting through, he directly cursed the other party.

The three of them were annoyed to death because Kira came to their door and dragged Espagu to discuss his shipbuilding matters. Now they heard the scolding of their incompetent boss Spandam, and the good mood of the day disappeared in an instant.

But there was no way. They were just subordinates, and their mission came first. They still had to listen to what they should listen to, and they still had to do what they should do. In the end, after ignoring Spandam's abuse, a few people probably got the following information: Ni But Robin's abduction plan failed; Bruno was in trouble; take Nico Robin back.

Taking advantage of the time to go to the toilet, an undercover team of three people and one pigeon, headed by Lu Qi, quietly started a small meeting in a hidden place.

"Bruno actually lost to a woman?"

"What? Do you look down on women?"

"Ah no, I didn't mean that..."

"It seems that these five years of undercover time have made his hands and feet rusty."

"What should we do now? The order from above is to bring Nico Robin back..."

"Just do whatever you have to do! Since we can't do it alone, let's go together!!"

After a brief exchange, Lucci formulated a new plan: first retrieve Bruno, then use his Gate Fruit ability to take Nico Robin away by force, and finally carry out the 'plan to kill Espagu' and force out the truth from him. The drawing of 'Pluto' finally left on the sea train under the cover of the big tsunami 'Akura Ragna'.

This is almost a perfect plan!

Unfortunately, we ran into trouble at the second step.

The three of them asked for leave from Espagu at the same time on the grounds that they were going back to their hometown for a funeral. Then they found Bruno in the alley through the team's contact number.

So far, Erza actually still retains the stereotype of Aslant in her heart. She thinks that the world government should be an official organization similar to the Senate, so after learning the nature of CP9, she did not fight. The dead hand did not attack Bruno's vital points, so Bruno had only temporarily lost the ability to move and was not seriously injured.

When Lu Qi and others found him, Bruno had already recovered with his physical fitness far beyond ordinary people, and his wounds had been simply treated, and he was resting against the wall.

In fact, when they were practicing the Six Styles before, the injuries they suffered were much more serious than this. The one cut by Erza was nothing at all. They could return to the same things as before in a few hours. It was just that they were idle, so they might as well Bandage it.

Seeing Bruno leaning against the wall with a hopeless look on his face, even Lu Qi, who had always been the most indifferent, couldn't help but feel a sense of irritation in his chest: "What's going on? You lost?"

"I can't help it, that woman is really strong!"

Bruno laughed miserably and recounted the process of his fight with Erza just now: "She saw through the principles of the 'Six Styles' in just one round, and also found out my fighting habits. I am no match at all..."

Kagu narrowed his eyes: "Fighting habits? Why didn't I notice it?"

He is the strongest among all the members of CP9, except for Lu Qi. He is also a senior combat expert who can maximize the use of various parts of the body and various things around the battlefield to fight.

"Yes, this is also the first time I know that I have such a thing..."

"There is no need to say any more unnecessary words. The new order has been issued. If you have rested well, please cooperate with us and arrest Nico Robin."

Lu Qi interrupted the chat between several people and said calmly, "Fortunately, your door fruit ability has not been exposed. From this point of view, the success rate of our operation is still very high..."

"I see!"

Bruno had no objection. Based on his understanding of Lu Qi, this attitude was already very gentle. It was probably the temperament honed in the past five years as a boatman...

…

At the same time, on the shore of the Capital of Seven Waters, the undulating waves were blown by the sea breeze and hit this maritime city.

At this time of year, the tides in the nearby seawater become different from usual. They go out more completely and come out more turbulently, like a grumpy child brewing a temper.

Everyone here knows that this is a precursor to the coming of the water gods.

However, when the wave came to a certain place, it was frozen into ice by a cold air, turning into an ice road on the sea that was only one person wide. Suddenly, a bell jingled, and a figure appeared at the end of the ice road.

This is a tall man, wearing an eye patch on his head, humming a tune in his mouth, riding a bicycle under him, riding slowly towards the Capital of Seven Waters from a distance.

This person is none other than the admiral on leave, Kuzan, the ‘Blue Pheasant’!

"Are you on this island? Nico Robin..."
