The Replica Magic Starting from Black Four

Chapter 298 Casino "Rainy Banquet"! Crocodile Appears!
A wind-magic-formed airship carrying Miki and the others flew towards a city in the Alabasta Kingdom called "Rainland".

Apart from the capital city of Arubana, the only other place in the entire kingdom unaffected by the drought is Rainfield, Crocodile's stronghold.

Vivi stood on a flying boat formed by condensed wind. Through the transparent boat, she could clearly see the human figures below, which had turned into ants.

Just started.

She was still somewhat surprised and excited, but now Weiwei was starting to panic. Even though the flying boat beneath her feet felt very solid, she still had a feeling that she might fall off at any moment.

"Don't worry, it won't fall."

A gentle, intellectual voice softly sounded from the side.

"Thank you." Vivi instinctively said after hearing the words of comfort, but then she realized what was happening and looked at Robin, who had come to her side, with anger and vigilance on her face.

The conversation at the port revealed to Vivi that the woman in front of her was also a member of Baroque Works, and even the vice president.

The current situation in the Kingdom of Alabasta is entirely due to Baroque Works, and this woman can be considered her enemy.

He was met with a wary and hostile look from Weiwei.

Robin glanced cautiously at Mumu and Conrad standing in front of the windship out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that the two of them did not make any moves, he smiled and continued to speak.

"You don't need to be so hostile towards me."

"We are not enemies now."

Robin gently shook his head, expressing his goodwill.

Vivi's hostility showed no signs of abating. She took a step back, distancing herself from Robin.

See this.

Robin smiled gently: "Speaking of which, I deserve some credit for you knowing that Crocodile is the president of Baroque Works."

"I'm currently being hunted down by Crocodile as well."

Weiwei was taken aback, her face initially showing some doubt, but then she seemed to remember something.

Before Vivi could speak, Robin had already turned his head to look in another direction and said in a low voice, "You are very lucky, Your Highness."

Vivi's nose wrinkled slightly.

"I think so."

Vivi's tone was stiff, but her gaze was fixed on Mumu, who was standing at the very front of the windboat.

Robin noticed Vivi's subtle movements, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

"So can you tell me why you believe you can defeat Crocodile?" Robin leaned forward, her blue-black eyes filled with deep curiosity.

They are now heading to Baroque Works' headquarters, where they will face Crocodile, who is recognized by the Navy as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

Let alone opposing them, just hearing their name would probably make most people extremely nervous!
however.

Robin didn't sense any tension from Vivi, especially the words she spoke to the captain of the Kingdom Guard, Jakka, as she left the port, as if Crocodile was destined to fail.

It's understandable that Mogi and Conrad of the Demon Eye Pirates are confident they can defeat Crocodile.

After all, the other party came from the weakest East Blue, and may not understand the terror contained in the title "Seven Warlords of the Sea".

How does Vivi gain this confidence?
She couldn't believe that Vivi, as a princess of a nation, wouldn't understand how terrifying Crocodile was.

"Because before we came here, we encountered another Shichibukai, 'Tyrant' Kuma, and a battle ensued." Vivi made no attempt to hide anything, her tone tinged with excitement, as if telling Robin that no amount of trickery would work.

It turned out to be the case.

Robin's eyes showed shock and speechlessness.

No wonder the princess in front of me is so confident.

Robin glanced once more at Mumu and Conrad standing in front of the windship out of the corner of his eye, took a small breath, and the unease in his heart completely subsided.

They really are two mysterious people.

Using fire to heal injuries and manipulating the power of wind, this was the first time she had ever seen a Devil Fruit user with multiple forms of expression.

“You are indeed very lucky.” Robin’s shocked expression faded, and he regained his composure, sighing again at Vivi.

Although Robin hadn't known Mogi for long, she could still sense that Mogi wasn't the kind of pirate she knew.

Robin could vaguely sense the indifference in Mumu's eyes as he looked at everyone; they were eyes devoid of malice and desire.

It's strange in itself that someone like that becomes a pirate!

"arrive."

A dull voice sounded.

Robin was taken aback. Looking down through the transparent windboat, he realized that they were now in the air above the rain-soaked land.

"So fast?" Vivi's surprised voice rang out.

It normally takes two to three days to fly from the rapeseed flower port to the rainy land, but they have already arrived in the rainy land in less than 20 minutes.

Using his aura to sense the area below, Mumu confirmed that Crocodile was indeed in the city below.

Not only was it a slightly stronger aura than that of ordinary people, but it also possessed a unique and peculiar "aura" that was close to nature, which, in Yumu's perception, was like a torch in the dark night.

A thought flashed through my mind!
The wind-borne boat, which had been hovering in the air, began to descend rapidly, landing directly at the entrance of "Rain Banquet," the largest casino in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

All of a sudden!

The once bustling street in front of the casino suddenly fell silent, followed by an uproar.

"My eyes are clear, right?"

"Flying...flying down..."

"Amazing!"

A chorus of shocked voices came from all directions, and pairs of eyes turned to the four people who stood calmly at the entrance of the luxury casino.

Standing on either side of the casino entrance, two security guards in black suits instinctively took a step back, their eyes wide with shock.

“As your base of operations, you should be very familiar with it.” Mogi glanced at Robin.

Robin stepped forward with a smile: "Lord Mogi, I'll show you the way."

Done.

Robin had already walked to the front and was heading towards the entrance of the Rain Banquet Casino.

The two guards standing at the casino entrance exchanged a glance upon seeing Robin's appearance, then quickly drew their guns from their waists and aimed them at him.

As the guards of Baroque Works' headquarters, they are naturally members of the organization, and the wanted poster of Robin has already been seen by all the members of the workshop.

No matter how you look at it, Robin and his group of four in front of them are clearly up to no good!
He looked at the gun barrels that were all pointed at him.

Robin gracefully raised her hands, crossed them in front of her chest, and moved her wrists slightly.

Two-round flower - mastered!
Suddenly, two arms sprouted from the backs of the two guards, quickly pressed down on their heads, and then twisted them violently.

Click! Click!
With two crisp snapping sounds, the necks of the two guards were broken on the spot, and the four members of the group entered the casino without any hindrance.

next moment!
A cacophony of screams erupted from outside the casino.

Inside the casino, the lively shouts and atmosphere completely oblivious to what was happening at the entrance. A large number of gamblers stared at the gambling tables in front of them, some excited and others with bloodshot eyes.

Vivi was clearly entering a casino for the first time. Seeing the lavish decorations and the casino patrons dressed in expensive clothes but with ugly expressions, she fell silent for a moment.

The kingdom's people, many of whom died from thirst or fell into poverty, seemed to exist in a completely different world from the extravagant casino before them.

Miki glanced at Vivi, who had suddenly fallen silent, with a hint of interest.

"Isn't it interesting how such a stark contrast exists between extravagance and poverty, water scarcity and waste?"

Glancing at the fountain in the center of the casino hall, where water gushed forth and flowers splashed everywhere, Miki chuckled, "This is the rule of this world. Your kingdom's rebels were doomed to fail from the very beginning."

"Why?" Vivi's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion.

"The Grand Line is a paradise for the strong. Only the strong can overturn the rules and make the rules. The rebels never had that ability from the beginning." Robin's eyes flickered slightly when she heard what Mumu said behind her.

Having roamed the dark world since the age of eight, Robin understood these words far better than Vivi.

"That's a really straightforward statement."

"Lord Mogi is not old, but he has a level of understanding that is beyond his years."

Robin turned her head to the side, raised her slender finger to her lips, and wore an intellectual smile.

"Being bound by age is not a good habit."

As Mumu watched Robin walking ahead, wearing brown Doc Martens and swaying her supple waist with each step, she raised an eyebrow slightly.

Based on the timeline, he is indeed not yet 17 years old.

Also.

Mogi suddenly noticed a detail. If he remembered correctly, Robin's height should be around 188 cm, while he was around 175 cm tall when he left the Black Clover world. Now, looking at Robin, he didn't feel that Nico Robin was much taller than him.

I sensed it briefly.

A look of surprise flashed across Yu Mu's eyes. He hadn't noticed before, but now he suddenly realized that he had grown so much taller without realizing it.

Talk about it.

Judging from his age, he is indeed at the age where he is growing taller, but he has only been in the world of One Piece for less than a month.

Does this mean that the environment and food in this world can naturally make people grow taller?

The thought flashed through Yumu's mind.

"Hmph." Vivi suddenly let out a barely perceptible hum.

The group entered the casino.

Led by Robin, they walked upstairs at a leisurely pace. The guards stationed at the top of the stairs were easily dealt with by Robin before they could even make a move.

The Flower-Flower Fruit's power allows Robin to grow limbs, such as arms, from flowers onto any tangible object within her field of vision.

Without mastering Haki, there's almost no way to deal with this kind of fruit unless you have a superhuman weight and a special way to counter it.

Such a fruit, if placed in the field of assassination, would absolutely be the most top-tier assassination ability!

With Robin leading the way.

The traps placed on the casino's rooftop were completely useless.

The four of them soon arrived at a large door decorated in champagne colors. Upon seeing this door, Robin, who had been appearing quite relaxed, once again showed a serious expression.

He pushed hard.

click!
With a heavy thud, the door was pushed open.

Seeing how easily it was pushed aside, and that there was no trap, Robin's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart tightened.

Crocodile couldn't possibly be unaware of what was happening inside the casino.

In this situation, not only did all the traps remain unchanged, but even the door that was pushed open showed no abnormalities.

"As expected of you, President Crocodile, as confident as ever."

Robin suppressed her emotions and looked at a desk directly opposite the door, where Crocodile was sitting in a swivel chair with his back to them.

Call ~
A puff of smoke was exhaled, and the swivel chair began to turn.

A man with slicked-back hair, a long horizontal scar on his face, wearing earrings, and a somewhat fierce and arrogant expression appeared before the crowd.

"Welcome back, Robin."

"It seems you've chosen betrayal after all. But it's not surprising that you survive by constantly betraying others."

Crocodile let out a low laugh, his ambitious eyes sweeping over the four members of the group.

“I wasn’t the first to betray you, President Crocodile.” Robin’s body tensed instinctively, but her face remained calm.

"Haha, it's not my fault."

"Your identity has been discovered by the Navy. Since that's the case, I'd rather kill you than let you fall into their hands."

Crocodile burst into laughter, a sinister glint in his eyes.

The appearance of the Navy made things complicated and disrupted his original plans. All of this was because of this group called the Demon Eye Pirates.

"Oh, I almost forgot, there's also Princess Vivi."

At this point, Crocodile straightened up, removed the cigar from his mouth, and his voice suddenly turned cold:
"You think your confidence comes from a pirate crew that popped up in a corner of the East Blue? Who do you take me for?!"

"Since you've chosen to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

Facing Crocodile's arrogant sneer, Vivi suddenly clenched her fists, her eyes filled with anger.

"It's because of you!"

"If it weren't for your arrival in this country, the Kingdom of Alabasta could have remained at peace forever!"

Vivi spoke loudly.

A soft "snap!" sound.

Crocodile ignored Vivi's words and snapped his fingers.

boom!
A huge cage suddenly fell from the sky, trapping Mumu and the others inside.

Robin and Vivi's expressions changed.

Robin rushed forward, and as soon as he touched the cage, a strong sense of weakness and powerlessness washed over him.

"A cage made of sea stone."

Robin's face paled slightly. She turned to look at the expressionless Mugi and Conrad, her slightly flustered emotions calming down a bit, though she was still somewhat worried.

Even if the two of them are very strong, Devil Fruit users are unable to exert their full strength in this environment.

Crocodile was also somewhat surprised.

They managed to lock everyone in the sea stone cage so easily. I had thought that the guy who could deal with Mr. 3 and the others would have some trouble.

Looking back now, it seems I overestimated these people.

"It's so boring."

"Whether it's you guys or this Alabasta Kingdom, you only deserve to be buried in the desert."

"Hahaha!"

Crocodile lay back in the swivel chair, letting out a wild laugh.

"so."

Yuki, who had remained silent, stared indifferently at Crocodile. "Is this your last words? It's certainly quite boring."

Crocodile's laughter paused, and he looked at Yuki with displeasure. When he saw Yuki's indifferent gaze, the same pair of eyes suddenly appeared in his mind.

That's Whitebeard!
The same indifference and disregard!

“I will gouge out your eyes.” Crocodile’s face darkened.

Mumu didn't speak, but simply waved to Conrad.

Conrad nodded slightly, and a golden key suddenly appeared in his empty right hand. He aimed it at the lock on the sea stone cage door and gently turned it.

Click!

The cage was opened on the spot.
