The Replica Magic Starting from Black Four

Chapter 326 Purpose! The gifts bestowed by fate already come with a price tag!

Using the power of the Float-Float Fruit, Shiki the Golden Lion quickly ascended into the air and disappeared from Akainu and the others' sight in the blink of an eye.

boom!
Akainu angrily punched the ground to one side, creating a crater seven or eight meters deep filled with magma. Scorching gray smoke filled the air, making it extremely hot.

"These scumbags on the sea!" Akainu roared angrily, looking in the direction where Shiki had disappeared.

With Kizaru severely injured, he was no match for Shiki, who could fly, and Shiki was clearly unable to escape.

"Now is not the time to be angry."

"Before things get even more chaotic, try to collect all the Mystic Eye Crosses," Aokiji said calmly as he stepped forward.

With Kizaru injured and Shiki the Golden Lion appearing, he realized that both capturing Mogi and collecting all the Mystic Eye Crosses had become more difficult than expected.

Aokiji turned to look at Kizaru's position: "The fleet has already surrounded the entire Sabaody Archipelago. Given your current condition, commanding these fleets should not be a problem."

Kizaru nodded, his face pale. "That's all we can do."

While he's not completely immobile, he's clearly no longer capable of fighting opponents like Shiki the Golden Lion and Miki.

As soon as the words were spoken.

Without another word, Kizaru transformed into a golden light and vanished from the spot.

Meanwhile, Akainu, radiating intense heat, had already left.

Aokiji watched the two disappearing figures and exhaled a breath of chilling white mist.

What exactly is your purpose, "Mage" Mochiki?
Aokiji frowned slightly, recalling what Yuki had said back in the Alabasta Kingdom, as well as the other party's series of actions.

It seems to be guiding something.

Aokiji suddenly had the thought that the relatively calm sea might be disrupted as the incident unfolded, and the stable situation for all parties might be broken.

the most important.

This sudden global live broadcast has already affected the prestige of the World Government and the Navy. If the series of events caused by Mogi cannot be resolved...

The various forces that the navy has suppressed with its strong power may become restless again.

This ocean has never lacked ambitious people.

However, in many situations...

When things change, most people subconsciously ignore the thoughts of those at the bottom, especially in a world where individual power reigns supreme.

the other side.

Zone 13.

Rayleigh rested one hand on the tree trunk, the other in his pocket, staring blankly at the suddenly appearing figure in front of him, smiling at him with a wary look in his eyes.

“Even an old guy like me has been targeted,” Rayleigh said casually.

"Don't be so hostile."

"If you're going to watch the show, what's the point of hiding in a corner?"

Mogi spread his hands to indicate that he had no hostility, then slid his finger upwards.

On the thick branch of the Yarchiman mangrove tree that Rayleigh was standing on, a transparent bubble about the height of a person secreted from the resin and floated beside Rayleigh.

Through World Tree magic, Miki could manipulate the Yarchiman Mangrove and thus control the entire Sabaody Archipelago, but Miki has not done so at the moment.

He originally had no particular interest in the Sabaody Archipelago, but after discovering that he could indirectly control the entire island through World Tree magic, he had a good idea, but there was no need to implement it at the moment.

Mogi smiled gently and gestured for Rayleigh to proceed.

Looking at the bubble floating in front of him, Rayleigh stared intently at Mumu. It seemed like an invitation, but in reality, it left him no room to refuse.

"Ok."

"I'm also curious to see how this grand drama you directed will end."

Rayleigh paused briefly, then let out a hearty laugh, reached out and touched the transparent bubble beside him before disappearing inside.

With a thought in his mind, Mumu quickly took off with Rayleigh, and in no time they arrived above the Sabaody Archipelago.

The entire sky above the island was filled with countless bubbles secreted from the Yarchman mangroves. Due to the unique climate of the Sabaody Archipelago, these large amounts of bubbles could only exist within the island's boundaries; they would automatically disintegrate once they left.

These rising bubbles will also decompose and explode after reaching a certain height.

however.

The bubble Rayleigh was riding in was unaffected; it remained perfectly solid even after reaching the highest point in the sky, showing no signs of disintegration.

Rayleigh sat cross-legged inside the bubble, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the nearby sapling and the surrounding environment, pondering why the other had brought him here.

As for the peculiar phenomenon that the bubble he was in was still very firm, Rayleigh was somewhat curious but not at all worried.

Even if the bubble suddenly bursts and he falls from the sky, he wouldn't suffer serious injuries given his strength. Moreover, he doesn't believe that Mumu brought him into the sky to kill him.

Sudden.

Rayleigh noticed that there was a figure hovering high in the sky where they were.

Conrad, the vice-captain of the Demon Eye Pirates, known as "Black Robe"?

Rayleigh's sharp eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly. He remembered that before the live stream ended, the other party had been instantly defeated by Kizaru.

Seeing Conrad unharmed now only made Rayleigh feel more serious. This vice-captain of the Demon Eye Pirates seemed to be a mysterious fellow, just like Miki.

At least, the information that Shakky had gathered was extremely scarce.

These people are really...

Rayleigh was momentarily at a loss for words when it came to describing the Demon Eye Pirates. No matter how he looked at it, this pirate crew was different from normal pirate crews.

Surrounded by naval warships and with all three admirals present, the captain and first mate showed no sign of panic and made no immediate move to leave for the Sabaody Archipelago.

If Rayleigh remembers correctly, the other party should have just arrived on the island not long ago, and their ship shouldn't even have been coated yet, right?

Before this, Rayleigh might have thought that Mogi and the others in the Demon Eye Pirates were ignorant, but their battle with Kizaru just now clearly demonstrated Mogi's confidence.

No wonder they dared to ignore the Celestial Dragons and conduct a world-wide live broadcast—a move that far exceeded everyone's expectations!

at this time.

The ascent of Mumu and Rayleigh ceased, and Conrad appeared behind Mumu in a flash.

Rayleigh withdrew his gaze and looked up at the sky, where a floating island hung high above. "Truly magnificent," Rayleigh remarked calmly. He hadn't expected even that old fox, Golden Lion, would join in the fun.

He hadn't appeared in public for over 20 years, and everyone thought he was dead.

"It's quite an honor to attract the legendary Flying Pirates. Would you be interested in taking a look at these islands?"

Mumu also looked up and glanced at Rayleigh, who was sitting cross-legged in the bubble next to her.

Rayleigh looked helpless, took out a bottle from his pocket and took a swig, his eyes showing a hint of indifference: "Forget it, I don't intend to let that old lion go crazy."

"Alright."

Momo nodded.

Shiki the Golden Lion had been hiding for so many years in order to research "IQ," which could drive beasts into a frenzy. Such a thing held no appeal for Yuki.

Raise your palm and wave it at the void in front of you!
Four projections appeared in front of the group, showing images of Kabaji, Mochi, Mariannu, and Baki on the Sabaody Archipelago.

“This is…” Rayleigh paused in his hand holding the bottle, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Just a little trick to using magic."

Miki explained calmly with a smile.

magic?

Rayleigh remained silent, his gaze fixed on the images projected onto the four screens.

The situation of Bucky and his companions was extremely chaotic, and the magic eye crosses they held in their hands caused various forces across the island to stir up trouble.

Everywhere they went, there were ambushes and battles.

Given the strength of Cabaji and his crew, it's clear that the various forces in the Sabaody Archipelago alone cannot easily take it down. However, none of the major pirate crews that have reached the Sabaody Archipelago are weak.

Given the current situation, Kabaji and the others knew they couldn't afford to be held back, so the four of them split up and broke through on their own.

among them.

Bucky's situation drew slight attention from Muki and Rayleigh.

This guy is completely different from Kabaji, Mochi, and Mariannu, who are determined to protect the Mystic Eye Cross to the death. Whenever he encounters a dangerous situation, he throws out a Mystic Eye Cross in his hand to create chaos and escape.

As a result, Bucky was the least affected of the four, and didn't even have many injuries.

Rayleigh saw Bucky's behavior and a strange look flashed across his face. He glanced at the calm Mugi to the side and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Did you deliberately prevent the Mystic Eye Cross from spreading?" Rayleigh suddenly asked.

Such a precious item was casually tossed out by Buggy as bait, and Captain Miki didn't seem to care at all, which was completely contrary to his initial guess.

Such a treasure that could bring the dead back to life was clearly not valuable at all in the eyes of the other party!
If that's true!

Whether there are any problems with this incredible ability of "resurrection of the dead" remains to be considered.

"You guessed it."

Momo made no attempt to hide her surprise, letting out a sound of astonishment, but her face showed no sign of surprise whatsoever.

He created the "Mystic Eye Cross" for multiple purposes, one of which was to target Vegapunk!
If the World Government obtains the Mystic Eye Cross, it will inevitably conduct research on it, and among researchers, who can compare to Vegabank, known as the "world's number one brain"?

Although Mugi knew that Vegapunk was located on an island called "Egghard" in the New World, the location of this island was a secret of the World Government and had no way of knowing it.

As long as Vegapunk touches the "Mystic Eye Cross", Miki will be able to locate the island through the cross's position and enter directly using spatial magic to obtain the technology called "Green Blood".

"Green Blood" is similar to the "lineage factor" technology used to create artificial animal Devil Fruits, but it is not on the same level at all.

By acquiring the "Green Blood" technique and combining it with magic, Miki could master the abilities of a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit without consuming one.

“The gifts bestowed by fate have already had a price tag attached in secret.” Mogi withdrew his gaze from Rayleigh and spoke in a playful tone.

Rayleigh's gaze darkened.

really!

The incredible power of "resurrection of the dead" does indeed have some unknown influence on the user.

Think of this.

Although Rayleigh's expression was somewhat heavy, he felt a strange sense of relief inside.

Any powerful force without limits is terrifying, especially the power of "resurrection of the dead," which is not something humans should be able to control. If it were unchecked, it would be a disaster.

Without even looking at Rayleigh's expression, Muki could guess what the other was thinking.

But so what?
He wasn't worried at all about Rayleigh leaking the information, because even if there was some price to pay for the resurrection, it wouldn't affect the outcome.

The world has never lacked intelligent people.

Even Rayleigh could realize that the ability to "resurrect the dead" might have certain drawbacks and costs, so how could those intelligent people not be aware of them?

but!

When death comes, how many people in this world can truly face it head-on? Compared to the price of death, what are other mere costs?
In fact, if someone could figure out what the cost would be, the "Magic Eye Cross" might trigger even greater madness.

Rayleigh quickly realized this as well, his gaze becoming somewhat profound: "You're playing with fire, kid."

The power contained in the "Mystic Eye Cross" was already attractive enough, and the appearance of more than 30 Mystic Eye Crosses undoubtedly indicates that it is a man-made object!

Then.

It is highly likely that the creator of the tree is the source of the tree, and its allure to various forces on the high seas is entirely imaginable.

In Rayleigh's view, what is this if not playing with fire?
Putting himself in the spotlight is definitely not the way a smart person would do, and this makes Rayleigh even more unable to see through the man in front of him.

"When it comes to playing with fire, your captain Roger was the real master. The Great Pirate Era he started before his death brought the whole world to the brink of chaos."

Mumu sneered, ignoring Rayleigh's suddenly sharp gaze.

"Don't even think about getting any information about the final island from me." Rayleigh gave Yuki a serious look and said coldly.

"Laugh Tale, the final island?"

Upon hearing this, Yuki's face showed a hint of disdain. "That's the goal pursued by those guys who are attracted by Captain Roger and want to become the Pirate King. I have absolutely no interest in the title of 'Pirate King.'"

"The Navy, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the pirates are working together to maintain a semblance of stability, but to me, this stability is like walking a tightrope."

"To be honest, what I'm doing now is still in accordance with your captain's will, just giving it another push."
