The Replica Magic Starting from Black Four

Chapter 304 World-Shaking News! A Brand New Bounty!

Robin looked at the Mystic Eye Pirates ship that had left the port, remained silent for a long time, and then sighed softly.

"The Straw Hat Pirates?"

"As expected, it's not an easy thing to completely submit to a powerful pirate crew like the Demon Eye Pirates."

Robin glanced at the bounty in his hand again, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

In Robin's view, joining the Straw Hat Pirates was a test from Captain Mogi, and what his purpose was was not something she should consider.

In this situation, she can no longer simply refuse.

Maybe.

The moment Robin's identity was discovered by the Navy, she needed to find a powerful force to rely on, and the Magic Eye Pirates were her best option at the moment.

"In short, safety should be guaranteed to a certain extent."

Robin thought of the mysterious pattern on the back of his hand, pressed down on the brim of his light white cowboy hat with a blue trim, turned around and disappeared into the sandstorm.

Now, on the other side.

The sea area more than ten kilometers away from the rapeseed flower port.

Pfft!
A huge block of ice was squeezed out from under the sea and floated on the surface of the sea.

With a series of cracking sounds, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the ice block in the blink of an eye, and then it shattered, revealing two figures emerging from the ice block.

Aokiji touched the sea surface with one hand, freezing the seawater into ice. He then knelt awkwardly on the ice and took a deep breath.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, he used his Devil Fruit ability to freeze himself in ice to prevent contact with seawater; otherwise, it would have been troublesome.

Turned.

“Adet…”

Aokiji looked at Adet, whom he had been holding tightly, and said in a low voice.

There was a fist-sized hole in Adet's chest, near his heart, caused by Mogi's attack.

The red laser-like attack was too fast. Although Aokiji reacted in time and condensed ice to defend himself, he still couldn't block it.

Such a long distance, such a precise attack!

Aokiji pictured the calm, black eyes of Yuki.

"They did it on purpose!"

Aokiji looked grim.

This was the first time he had been so humiliated since becoming a naval admiral, unable even to protect the men under his command.

A surge of anger welled up inside me.

He could tell that Mumu was not very old. Such a young person possessed such amazing strength, making him far too dangerous.

And Nico Robin!

If the two sides get entangled...

Aokiji suppressed his emotions, gently laid the lifeless Adet on the ice, reached into his pocket, and pulled out the shivering Den Den Mushi.

Aokiji glanced at the Den Den Mushi's two antennae, one eye larger than the other, and its bluish-purple appearance due to the cold. "It's alright, it looks like it works." He quickly dialed the number.

Navy Headquarters.

Marshal's Office.

"Porupo porupo!"
The ringing of the Den Den Mushi on the desk startled Sengoku, who was leisurely feeding the goat at his feet with the documents he needed to process, one by one.

"Solve it?"

Sengoku reached for the Den Den Mushi's receiver, put it to his ear, and spoke with a smile.

“Adet is dead.”

A somewhat deep, calm voice came from the microphone.

Sengoku paused, his smile fading. He didn't speak further, but waited for Aokiji's intelligence report.

"The intelligence was flawed."

"The strength of the Demon Eye Pirates is far beyond expectations, especially Captain Mogi and First Mate Conrad."

Aokiji paused for a moment, then continued, "I have already fought the two of them, and I was no match for them."

A very calm tone.

Aokiji seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Sengoku suddenly sat up straight, his eyes filled with shock. If one didn't know Aokiji's personality, they would have thought he was joking.

A high-ranking naval admiral personally attempted to capture two newly arrived pirates, but failed!

If Aokiji hadn't said this himself...

Sengoku's face had regained its composure, but his eyes held a serious expression: "Are you sure you're not joking!"

"kindness."

"Although we were unable to unleash our full strength due to the influence of the opponent's Devil Fruit, the fact remains that we were defeated."

Aokiji's voice came through the microphone, followed by: "There's more bad news. Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, has been defeated and captured by the Mystic Eyes Pirates. The specifics are currently unknown."

After a while.

Aokiji hung up the communication, stood up from the ice, hoisted Adet's body onto his shoulder, glanced at the direction where the Demon Eye Pirates ship had disappeared, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

He had originally planned to report the information that Nico Robin was entangled with the Magic Eye Pirates, but in the end he chose to suppress the matter for the time being.

I hope you will make the right choice... Robin!
Three days later.

A piece of news that shook the ocean quickly spread throughout the world.

Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was defeated by the Mystic Eyes Pirates!

Crocodile's plot to instigate civil war in the Kingdom of Alabasta and seize the throne was also exposed and spread around the world through the newspapers.

All of a sudden!
Many forces on the high seas were shocked by the formidable strength of the Demon Eye Pirates.

Many pirates who previously disagreed with Yuki's claim that his bounty had skyrocketed to 1 million Berries after he kidnapped the Alabasta princess now completely acknowledge the strength of Yuki and his crew.

Compared to the focus of the major powers and pirates on the high seas, the questioning of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system has once again risen from the nobles and commoners of the various kingdoms.

The Navy was extremely troubled by this, and almost at the same time the news spread around the world, the Navy also directly revoked Crocodile's title of "Shichibukai"!

Not only that!

A small news item in an inconspicuous place in the newspaper also attracted the attention of some observant people.

It was a photo of the port of "Rapeseed Flower" in the Kingdom of Alabasta reduced to ruins. If you look closely, you can still faintly see traces of ice around the edges of the photo.

Although this small news item occupied very little space and had very little text description, it left many people wondering, especially about the new bounty on the Demon Eye Pirates.

This makes the astonishment and doubt seem even more real!
"Magician" Mochiki: Bounty of 310 million Berries!

Conrad the Black Robe: Bounty of 150 million Berry!

Bucky the Joker: Bounty of 30 million Berries!
"Beast Tamer" Mochi: Bounty of 20 million Berries!
"Acrobat" Cabaji: Bounty of 21 million Berries!

The Demon Eye Pirates consist of five members, yet their total bounty exceeds 5 million Berries, making them a force to be reckoned with on the high seas.

The Kingdom of Dressrosa. "Fufufufu!"

"Taking over the Kingdom of Alabasta is an interesting plan, but Crocodile doesn't seem like the type to be interested in such things."

Doflamingo rested his chin on one hand, glancing at the newspaper with the other, and let out a low, mocking laugh. "Too bad, losers are nothing."

then.

Doflamingo's gaze fell on the inconspicuous photo below, and after a moment, a smile appeared on his lips: "The Demon Eye Pirates... something interesting seems to have happened."

New world!
Whitebeard Pirates.

Marco, holding a stack of newspapers, approached the tall, white-bearded man sitting on a barrel: "Dad, it seems a formidable newcomer has emerged this year, actually defeating Crocodile."

"is it?"

"Gurara! The sea is going to get lively again, haha!" Whitebeard glanced at the newspaper casually, then let out a hearty laugh.

The red-haired pirates.

Most people, however, focused their attention on Mogi, the captain of the Mystic Eyes Pirates.

Shanks stared blankly at the bounty on Buggy in his hand, a look of confusion in his eyes, as he scratched his messy red hair.

He remembered that Bucky wanted to be the captain, and that's why his invitation was rejected.

Now he's actually joined the Demon Eye Pirates?

No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like Bucky's style.

"What's wrong, Shanks?" A noisy voice came from the side.

"It's nothing, the banquet shall continue!"

Shanks slammed down the newspaper in his hand and burst into laughter.

…………

…………

On the sea.

Rumble!
A deafening roar of thunder echoed overhead, and thick, blue-white bolts of lightning flashed and exploded continuously within the dense, black clouds.

It was daytime, but under the cover of dark clouds, it was as dark as night.

Wow! Wow!
Waves surged and crashed, and the Demon Eye Pirate Ship swayed with the impact of the seawater, like a small boat adrift at sea, seemingly about to be swallowed up by the ocean at any moment.

however.

The torrential rain pouring down from the sky was pushed aside by an invisible force when it reached about half a meter above the pirate ship, causing a large amount of rainwater to spill onto both sides of the ship.

Invisible whirlwinds are forming a barrier above the ship, blocking the torrential rain pouring down from the sky.

The deck directly below.

Kabaji raised his hands towards the sky, his clothes soaked with sweat, but he dared not relax in the slightest, constantly manipulating his magic to maintain the wind magic barrier suspended above the ship.

"Damn it, when is this torrential rain going to stop?!"

Kabaji's arms were sore and swollen, and a feeling of weakness kept washing over him as he inwardly groaned.

The continuous drain on magic power was causing Kabaji's physical strength to be rapidly depleted, leaving him feeling as if his body was about to be completely drained.

But Kabaji dared not slack off in the slightest, and out of the corner of his eye, he carefully glanced at Conrad, who stood not far away with an indifferent expression.

Ever since the captain unsealed them from the ice, they have been undergoing hellish training!

Kabaji was quite certain that if he let even a single drop of rain fall on the deck, Conrad would coldly throw him into the sea.

He didn't want to experience that feeling of despair again!
While Kabaji was bracing against the torrential rain, Mochi lay on the bow of the boat, equally weak. He was using magic to control the fish in the sea, controlling the boat's course and stability!

As for Bucky, he would occasionally remind Mochi with the permanent pointer to prevent him from veering off course.

Compared to the two, Bucky was clearly much more comfortable.

"I'm glad I didn't try to gain any power like you guys, otherwise I'd be the one suffering now, right, Mochi?"

Bucky sat cross-legged on the deck, grinning as he spoke. He had been somewhat envious when he saw the two gain power, but now it seemed he had been much more cunning.

Fighting is not his style at all; finding treasure and riches is much more interesting than fighting!
Mochi couldn't help but roll his eyes; he didn't have much energy left to argue with Bucky.

"It's veering off course again, a little to the left!" Bucky glanced at the permanent pointer and shouted.

the other side.

Miki is currently in the ship's laboratory, studying the Devil Fruit users he has captured during this period.

Mr.3, Ms. Golden Week, Mr.5, Ms. Valentine's Day, and Crocodile!

All five of them had their Devil Fruit abilities disabled by key magic, and were suspended by their hands in the laboratory.

It's quite spectacular at first glance!
of course.

This only applies to the jujube tree.

"What exactly do you want?" Crocodile's lips were stained with blood, and his voice was weak. Compared to his agitation a while ago, he was much calmer now.

During this time, Miki had become immune to Crocodile's shouts and was now carefully observing the differences in blood between Logia-type Devil Fruit users, Paramecia-type Devil Fruit users, and ordinary people.

About ten minutes later.

After finishing his observation, Mumu raised his head and looked at Crocodile unhurriedly.

Before Crocodile was captured, Mr. 1 and the others would occasionally struggle, but ever since Crocodile was hung in the laboratory along with them...

Mr. 1 and the others became completely obedient and cooperated exceptionally well with the experiment conducted by the wood.

After all, their own studio's boss, Crocodile, who holds the title of "One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea," has been captured. What's the point of them struggling?

"You've already seen it all."

Mogi shrugged slightly and smiled as he spoke to Crocodile.

But to Mr. 1 and his companions, that smile was like that of a demon.

Crocodile's eyes were gloomy. His limbs were broken, but he had long since become accustomed to the constant pain. As for wanting to escape from here?

He thought of Conrad, who had easily defeated him.

And now there's this guy who's even more terrifying than Conrad, Crocodile has temporarily abandoned the idea.

"I can assist you with experiments and such."

"Overthrow the Kingdom of Alabasta? For powerful individuals like us, it makes no sense to either overthrow or seize the kingdom."

Crocodile paused for a moment, then raised his head and said seriously, "Aren't you curious about my real purpose?"

“I can be your crew member, and I can even share this secret with you.”

By this point, Crocodile had abandoned his last remaining pride and had no choice but to compromise.

however!
In response to his words...

Crocodile noticed that Mogi's expression hadn't changed at all, as if he didn't care at all. Just as he was about to continue speaking...

"You mean Hades, one of the three ancient weapons, right?" Mimu waved his hand and said.

Crocodile's pupils suddenly contracted.
