The Replica Magic Starting from Black Four

Chapter 279 General Kuzan Appears! Was what you said before true?
Snapped--

A tall, slender man wearing a dark blue shirt parked his bicycle, which he had ridden from the sea, on the shore and glanced up at the harbor.

"No boat? Did I arrive too early?"

"Logically speaking, they should have arrived long ago."

The slender man tugged at the green eye mask on his forehead, a hint of doubt in his lazy eyes, followed by slight surprise: "It seems a bit quiet."

While talking to himself.

The slender man had already started walking towards the town on Cactus Island. As he got closer to the town, a faint smell of blood, which had been lingering in the air, drifted out with the sea breeze.

This caused the slender man's previously lazy gaze to instantly become sharper.

Step into Whisky Hill, the only town on Cactus Island.

Looking at the corpses lying all over the town, some still holding weapons, the thin man paused briefly, then scratched his head and sighed helplessly, "Really, we're too late."

This slender man is none other than Kuzan, one of the three admirals of the Navy, codenamed "Aokiji"!

When the naval branch in Loguetown, East Blue, was attacked, Smoker, as the branch leader, naturally reported the situation, along with the information he obtained from the sea restaurant about Miki and Conrad.

The branch was attacked, and most of the remaining naval personnel were seriously injured.

This was a slap in the face to Smoker, so he specifically requested headquarters to pursue the Mogi pirates.

original.

While an attack on a naval branch in Shikai is not a small matter, it is certainly not a major incident either.

However, information about a Devil Fruit user who could manipulate seawater caught the attention of the Marine Headquarters and was even passed directly to Fleet Admiral Sengoku's desk.

The Devil Fruit ability to manipulate seawater poses an undeniable threat to any ship sailing at sea!

but.

According to the Navy Headquarters' analysis, it is impossible for a Devil Fruit to directly manipulate seawater.

It's highly likely to be a Devil Fruit ability similar to Kuzan's Ice-Ice Fruit or Shiki's Float-Float Fruit, which can indirectly affect seawater!

Even so, such a Devil Fruit user would be too destructive if encountered at sea!
Also.

Besides Conrad, who possesses the ability to manipulate seawater and poses an excessive threat, information about another mysterious boy, Mogi, is extremely scarce, and his strength is also unknown.

In this situation, the Navy Headquarters not only rejected Smoker's request to pursue him, but also took a very cautious approach and did not immediately issue bounties for Miki and the others.

At the same time, they dispatched Kuzan, who happened to be on vacation near the Grand Line and possessed the "Ice-Ice Fruit" ability, allowing him to completely control the seawater.

This is why Kuzan, one of the Navy's three top admirals, appeared on Cactus Island.

He glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground.

Kuzan suddenly crouched down, squinted at the wounds on the corpse, and then quickly examined the rest of the corpses.

The wounds on the several corpses were all located on the chest, near the heart, and the shape of the wounds appeared to be sword wounds.

"Were they all killed with a single blow?"

Kuzan raised his head, glancing at the hundreds of corpses on the ground, a hint of shock and seriousness appearing in his lazy eyes.

Using his Observation Haki, he was able to sense that these corpses had died at the same time!

In the New World, there are countless powerful individuals who could so easily dispatch over a hundred enemies. But to simultaneously and precisely pierce the hearts of 100 enemies positioned in different locations and directions with a sword-like object…

Such methods are extremely rare, even among the many powerful figures in the New World.

"Was it that boy's doing? Swordsmanship? Or the power of a Devil Fruit?" Kuzan stood up again, this thought flashing through his mind.

According to the information provided by Smoker, the man with the ability to manipulate seawater should be an underling of the mysterious boy. Although he never thought the mysterious boy was an ordinary person from the beginning, he seems to be more troublesome than expected.

"I originally thought it was just a regular mission."

Kuzan's eyes became lazy again, he sighed once more, and walked past the many corpses toward a tavern inside the town.

If he remembers correctly, the next stop on Cactus Island should be Little Garden, and it would take the Log Pose a year to fill Little Garden with magnetism.

Then there's no need to rush, let's find something to eat first.

Kuzan touched his stomach as this thought flashed through his mind.

but.

The only thing that puzzled him was that the other party didn't stay on Cactus Island for long before leaving.

They must have obtained the log pointer from the islanders, but their hasty actions suggest they have some ulterior motive.

On the sea.

After a brief period of oppressive, overcast skies, the sky instantly brightened with sunshine.

The seawater shimmered under the sunlight, showing no trace of the storm that had threatened to break out at any moment.

The unusual and unpredictable weather changes along the Grand Line still surprised Yuki, even though he had seen them many times.

Momo briefly studied this strange change before moving on to the next level. He wasn't a navigator, and he'd rather spend that time studying the magic spells.

If such a climate existed in the past, many scholars and scientists would have gone bald.

Wow!
The Demon Eye Pirate Ship broke through the water, creating a loud splashing sound.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Mogi looked at the relatively calm sea and glanced out of the corner of his eye at Buggy, who was obediently steering the pirate ship. An amused look flashed in his eyes.

It all begins with entering the Grand Line, which is known as the "graveyard of pirates."

Although they frequently encountered unusual weather changes along the way, they never experienced any truly terrifying weather conditions that could cause the ship to be destroyed and people to die.

I don't know if it's because of Pakistan.

"Luck?"

An amused look flashed across Mumu's face as he muttered to himself.

He had been studying Bucky for some time, but so far, he hadn't figured out much about the special power of "luck" and it seemed that he could only start with the Lucky Fruit.

Also.

Conrad, Bucky, and their group attacked the naval branch in Loguetown, East Blue, yet no bounty has been issued for them so far.

This struck Yuki as odd, as the Navy wouldn't just let it go like that, but in his eyes it was a trivial matter.

Whether or not there is a bounty, it's not something that matters to Mumu.

On the aft deck.

A blue-haired figure was cautiously approaching the tree, seemingly hesitant and wary.

"Is there something you need, Princess Vivi?"

With his hands casually resting on the edge of the boat, Momoko spoke without turning his head, his expression nonchalant.

The approaching figure paused.

"Um... um, was what you said before true?"

Vivi looked at Yuki, who was dressed in a pure white short robe with an ancient tree-patterned belt around his waist, his back to her, and gently bit her pink lips. Having been suddenly captured and brought onto the pirate ship, and having their permanent compass to the Kingdom of Astan stolen, Vivi and Ikaram naturally couldn't trust Yuki, who had appeared out of nowhere and possessed great power.

But after a short voyage, Vivi and Icarum discovered that the Floodwood had not imprisoned them; on the contrary, they could move freely on the ship.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, Vivi could sense from Yuki that he was completely different from the pirates she knew.

After learning some information from Icarum, Vivi finally mustered up the courage to step forward.

Below the mast of the pirate ship.

Ikalai looked at Vivi, who had walked behind Mumu, with a somewhat tense and worried expression.

He knew very well that the key to the Kingdom of Astan's current predicament was not the rebels, but the Baroque Works, which was hiding in the shadows.

Although they had figured out the Baroque Works' purpose, they still had little confidence that informing the king and the people would truly save the kingdom.

After all, he was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a powerful being!

Snapped.

Wearing a green suit, the furtive figure stealthily approached Ikaram from behind, raised his hand, and gently patted Ikaram's shoulder.

The simple action startled Icarus, making him shudder.

When Icarus saw that it was Mr. 9 behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a hint of wariness in his eyes.

Mr. 9, who boarded the ship with them, was a genuine member of the Baroque Works.

"Vivi is really a princess?" Mr. 9 was a little excited, stroking the "9"-shaped mustache on both sides of his mouth, and whispered to Icarum.

Icarum glanced at Mr. 9, his tone cold and distant: "That's right."

There's no need to hide it anymore at this point.

Although Mr.9 already knew this from the previous conversation between Mogi and the others, he was still somewhat shocked to see Ikaram admit it himself.

"Don't be so wary. Miss Wednesday is my partner. Don't worry, I'm on your side."

Mr. 9 chuckled softly and spoke in a low, excited voice.

Icarum glanced at the other person without speaking, but the serious expression on his face softened slightly.

"What are you two slacking off for?"

Just then, two footsteps sounded, and an annoyed voice came from behind them.

Icarus and Mr. 9 froze abruptly, quickly grabbing rags. One wiped the mast, while the other squatted down to wipe the ship's planks.

"Don't even think about slacking off. Captain Mimu has already done you the greatest favor by keeping you on board. Get to work!"

Mochi raised his head and lectured the two of them.

"Roar!" The lion Liki, who was following Mochi, let out a low, threatening growl.

Kabaji lagged behind, looking ahead smugly. The guy who used to be just a brute in his eyes now had such strength and status, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

hateful!

I also need the power bestowed upon me by Captain Mu.

Seeing how hard Icarus and the other man were working, Mochi nodded in satisfaction and walked past with Lion Liki and Kabaji.

As the two walked away, Icarus and Mr. 9 wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side, at the bow of the ship.

Upon hearing Weiwei's anxious question, Mimu turned to look at her, a gentle smile on his face.

"Your Highness, there's no need to be so nervous."

"The root cause of the Alabasta Kingdom's rebellion is the Shichibukai Crocodile, and you should have already investigated this clearly. So, as long as we deal with Crocodile, all the problems will be solved."

Momo shrugged and smiled as he spoke.

Vivi pursed her lips. She was aware of the problem, but after all, he was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a notorious pirate recognized by the World Government.

Without sufficient evidence, even the World Government and the Navy would not side with the Alabasta Kingdom.

"Captain Mimu, you can just call me Vivi."

With her slender arms outstretched in front of her, Weiwei bowed to Yimu, then said with a hint of resentment and regret, "But I don't have enough evidence."

evidence?

Hear these two words.

Yi Mu paused for a moment, then looked at Weiwei with amusement. He suddenly realized that Weiwei was even more innocent than she appeared in the anime.

Vivi also noticed the undisguised, almost comical expression on Yumu's face, and was just about to continue speaking.

Boom!

Suddenly, the calm sea surface exploded with a roar, and a huge octopus with an upper body over twenty meters tall emerged from the sea, instantly creating huge waves.

The Demon Eye Pirate Ship began to shake violently under the impact of the giant waves. Vivi, caught off guard, stumbled and fell onto the deck.

The entire ship looked like it could be capsized by the waves at any moment!
The enormous shadow of the octopus loomed overhead, and its tentacles, raised from the sea, were thicker than their pirate ship.

"Sea Kings!!"

Bucky's startled scream rang out.

Apart from Miki and Conrad, everyone else on the ship was thrown onto the deck by the violently rocking hull, with the surging waves crashing against both sides of the ship with a roar.

This caused Mochi and the others to show expressions of horror.

Boom!

The giant octopus also noticed the little toy that had appeared in front of it. Thick tentacles emerged from the sea and swept towards the pirate ship.

It seems they want to drag the entire ship into the sea.

"What, what should we do?"

Vivi gripped the protruding part of the deck tightly with one hand to prevent herself from being violently shaken and thrown away, her face pale with fear as she watched the scene unfold.

It was only then that she noticed that Miki was actually standing steadily on the swaying deck.

Before Weiwei could even react with surprise!

Mumu had already turned around and looked at the enormous giant sea king octopus. He calmly raised his arm, and a silver magic appeared on the tip of his index finger as he reached out and moved his hand in mid-air.

hum-

One by one, magical characters appeared in mid-air under the influence of magic, quickly forming a complete magical spell.

In an instant, it transformed into a complete magic circle, about the size of a basketball, radiating a faint silver light.

Momo pressed his palm against the magic circle.
