The Replica Magic Starting from Black Four

Chapter 354 Usopp's Extravagant Life - Music Island!

That's fine.

What truly made Usopp feel powerless was that no matter where he ran or what secret place he hid in, guards would always appear in front of him around dusk the next day.

They forcibly took him to the area below the Golden Hotel.

After realizing he couldn't escape several times in a row, Usopp simply gave up the idea of ​​running away for the time being and became acquainted with Buggy, who also went to the top floor of the Golden Hotel every day.

"Who knows? If the captain told us to do this, there must be a reason for it."

When Buggy heard Usopp's question, he shrugged and said nonchalantly.

Usopp nodded, somewhat disappointed. "Alright."

He was surprised that Buggy didn't know that the Demon Eye Pirates had brought him here just so he could touch a golden pillar every day; it was really strange.

Usopp always felt that the golden pillar must be something very important.

Ding!
The elevator doors opened.

Bucky's face immediately lit up with an excited smile. His red nose twitched slightly as he strode towards the elevator doors, wearing his exquisite blue clown-themed leather shoes.

Usopp followed closely behind, instinctively straightening his back.

"Lord Buggy!"

"Lord Usopp!"

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, the two guards standing at the elevator entrance on the first floor immediately spoke respectfully.

It immediately attracted the attention of many people in the lobby of the Golden Hotel.

The two guards bowed at a ninety-degree angle, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. Lord Buggy needs no introduction; he is not only a member of the Demon Eye Pirates but also currently in charge of the entire Grand Entertainment City.

As for Usopp, they didn't know much about him, but it was said that Lady Mariannu personally brought him back from outside.

They even have the right to ascend to the top floor of the Golden Hotel, to the room of the true owner of the Grand Tesoro!
For these guards, neither Lord Buggy nor Lord Usopp were people they could afford to offend.

They were met with awe and respectful gazes from the people in the hotel lobby.

Usopp straightened his back again and strode confidently out of the hotel with Buggy.

Usopp had never felt this kind of awe-inspiring and envious gaze before, and each time it did, he felt a sense of elation.

pity.

That important figure named Miki seems to have said that he doesn't need to come anymore, so he probably won't feel the awe and respect from others anymore.

As Usopp thought about this, a sense of loss suddenly rose in his heart.

No!

I need to find a way to get out of here; Luffy and the others must still be waiting for me to come back.

Usopp quickly shook his head, clenched his fists, and made up his mind.

It was already close to evening.

The sky over the New World had long since darkened, but the entire Grand de Solo was as bright as day.

The lights throughout the Golden Hotel and along the roads were turned on.

It blooms against the backdrop of the bustling night sky, echoing the gold decorations laid out on the ground throughout the Grand de Solo, creating a dreamlike and magnificent golden spectacle.

Sexy young women, wealthy people in sharp suits, nobles, and even pirates walked merrily through the streets.

The entire Grand de Solo exudes an atmosphere of extravagance and radiates an irresistible allure.

Snapped!
Buggy put his arm around Usopp's shoulder, who was looking a bit dazed, and laughed as he asked, "What are you spacing out for?"

"is this real?"

As soon as he stepped out of the Golden Hotel, Usopp looked at the scene before him with a bewildered expression and instinctively spoke.

Even though this wasn't the first time he'd seen such a scene, Usopp still felt a strange sense of unreality.

Compared to the old days, this place is like paradise.

The white skull pattern on Bucky's forehead twitched slightly.

"Hahahaha!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course it's true."

"This is the world's largest entertainment complex, the Grand de Solo, a maritime kingdom, and it's our territory."

Bucky, clutching his stomach with both hands, tears welling in his eyes, burst into laughter.

"Let's go, stop spacing out. Where do you want to go next? Amusement park, aquarium, swimming pool, shopping district, or my entertainment center?"

Bucky walked toward the side of the street as he spoke, where two white luxury antique cars were already parked, with more than a dozen strange turtles on the front of the cars and on both sides of the engine.

This is the turtle-shaped vehicle unique to the Grand De Solo.

Bucky was the first to walk to the car at the front, comfortably resting his feet on the passenger seat. Two hot women who had been waiting in the car carefully massaged Bucky's legs.

As for the driver, there is naturally a dedicated driver.

Usopp got into the turtle-shaped car behind him, and two beautiful women came up to him. One of them massaged Usopp's shoulders, and the other brought him a delicate food box.

"Lord Usopp, the mackerel miso stew you like is made with top-quality ingredients from Wano Country." The beautiful woman holding a lunchbox puffed out her chest and said with a charming smile.

I've been a bit hungry for a while now.

Usopp's eyes lit up. He picked up the lunchbox, opened it, smelled the delicious aroma emanating from it, and began to eat heartily without any hesitation.

Seeing that Usopp didn't even glance at her, the hot, laughing beauty couldn't help but twitch her eye.

This guy with the long nose!
Thinking of the task that the songstress Karina had given them, the giggling beauty exchanged a glance with another woman massaging Usopp beside her, suppressed her anger, and a bright smile returned to her face.

The tortoise-shaped car in front.

While enjoying his massage, Buggy pulled a microphone from the armrest and put it to his mouth: "So, Usopp, have you decided where to go tonight?"

Buggy's voice immediately rang out from the turtle-shaped vehicle that Usopp was riding behind them.

"Um, the race car should be able to be assembled by yourself, right?"

"The materials that Boss Bucky found a while ago..."

Usopp swallowed the food in his mouth, a glint of light appearing in his eyes, and said in a low voice.

"Racing is inherently a no-rules competition; whoever completes a full lap first wins."

"So that's why you asked me to find the materials a while ago."

Bucky laughed casually as he spoke, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. He suddenly asked, "Is this also for Seastone?"

"Haha, of course, I've heard that Seastone is a very hard material." Usopp choked for a moment, then smiled somewhat awkwardly.

Waited for a while.

Usopp breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Buggy didn't ask any more questions.

Wuwuwu——

The two tortoise cars started up and quickly drove away from the Golden Hotel.

As the two tortoise cars drove away, they appeared on the street diagonally opposite the Golden Hotel.

A somewhat drunken, unremarkable figure leaning against a streetlamp looked up at the direction the two slow-moving cars had left, then got up and walked away in the opposite direction.

The figure was none other than the revolutionary army member, the legendary gambler Rez Max!

"Usopp?"

"This person seems to need some investigation; perhaps we could make contact with him."

Rez Max rubbed his slightly messy, spiky blue hair, swaying as he continued to feign drunkenness, but his eyes were crystal clear as he thought to himself.

Some time ago, the Demon Eye Pirates occupied the Grand Tesoro, and all of them, who were not on the ship, were assigned to repair the damaged buildings.

Not only him, the gambler, but also the navy personnel on the ship and nobles from various countries were all like that.

Now that the Grand de Solo has reopened, the nobles and merchants naturally boarded their own ships and left the Grand de Solo immediately.

The revolutionary army has already given him the order to evacuate.

but.

Rez Max did not agree to stay on the Grand Tesoro, believing that he could observe the movements of the Magic Eye Pirates firsthand.

"Kachi!"

Rez Max pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, put it to his lips, took a deep drag, and his eyes flickered slightly.

The top floor of the Golden Hotel is not a place that just anyone can go up to.

According to the intelligence he gathered, the guy named Usopp was brought to the ship by Mariannu, a crew member of the Magic Eye Pirates.

And over several days, he and Bucky the Joker frequently went up to the top floor of the Golden Hotel.

Other matters are unclear for now, but at least one thing is certain: that guy named Usopp must be highly regarded by the captain of the Magic Eye Pirates, Mogi.

"They're not members of the Demon Eye Pirates, yet they're receiving so much attention. Using this as a breakthrough point might be a good opportunity, though it could be a bit dangerous."

Rez Max exhaled a puff of smoke and thought to himself.

"Ah!"

Immediately afterwards, Rez Max chuckled softly.

First, there was the Mystic Eye Cross, which could "revive" people, and then they occupied the Grand Tesoro, which had a huge gold-making capacity. He wasn't the only one curious about the Mystic Eye Pirates' next move.

After several days of observation, it became clear that he wasn't the only one on the ship who had his eye on Usopp.

Having withstood the combined onslaught of New World pirates and the Navy's Buster Call, the Demon Eye Pirates have indeed firmly established themselves in the New World.

On the Grand de Solo.

In addition to the largest entertainment complex, there is also a very large commercial area.

At the very center of the business district stands a rectangular, golden commercial building.

We are currently at the very top of the building.

Marianne sat on the edge of the rooftop, her slender legs dangling in mid-air, swaying slightly, while she held a drawing board and sketched the scene below.

Every now and then, he would pick up the green tea placed next to him and take a sip.

hum-

Suddenly, a layer of dark purple light rose from the ground on the rooftop, and then a black figure emerged directly from the ground, appearing behind Marianne.

"Your Excellency Mariannu, these are the casino's revenue and accounts for today," Mr. Tanaka said respectfully, holding a stack of documents in his arms.

Marianne paused in her painting, a troubled expression appearing on her lightly rosy cheeks.

"You're such a spoilsport, Mr. Tanaka."

Marianne pouted her pink lips and spoke with some displeasure.

“I’m sorry, Your Excellency Mariannu.” Mr. Tanaka shrank back with his round head, a look of fear on his face.

On the surface, the entertainment center is managed by Bucky the Clown, but in reality, all the revenue and accounts are handled by Mariannu, as instructed by Lord Miki.

but.

Mr. Tanaka thought this in his heart, but he wouldn't say it out loud. After all, he wasn't a member of the Demon Eye Pirates anymore; he was just an outsider at best.

He had no right to complain in front of the real members of the Demon Eye Pirates.

"Just leave it there, I'll check on it later." Marianne knew this was the captain's instruction, and waved her hand without turning her head.

After setting the accounts aside, Mr. Tanaka did not leave immediately.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Mariannu frowned and turned to look at Mr. Tanaka.

"Your Excellency Mariannu, Lord Conrad has today withdrawn the massive whirlpool surrounding the Grand de Solo."

"The news of the world's largest entertainment complex reopening should spread again very soon..."

Mr. Tanaka paused slightly at this point, then cautiously began to speak:
"Once it reopens, both the daily turnover and the accounting data will increase exponentially."

Mr. Tanaka did not say anything more, but it was self-evident that he knew Marianne did not like dealing with these trivial matters.

Marianne frowned.

Dealing with these accounts is already wasting a lot of her training time, and if more is added...

Kabaji and Mochi have made remarkable progress in their training during this period, while she has wasted time dealing with these matters.

Thinking of this.

Marianne started to feel a headache.

“I understand. I will mention this to the captain.” Mariannu gave Mr. Tanaka a deep look.

Although she doesn't like to think about complicated things, she has been to Baroque Works after all, and her teammate is Mr. 3, who calls himself a master strategist.

It was easy to guess that Mr. Tanaka also wanted to take things further.

"There's one more small matter," Mr. Tanaka said again in a low voice.

“Say it all in one go,” Marianu said, her tone becoming somewhat impatient.

“I’ve noticed that the man you brought, named Usopp, seems to be being watched by someone,” Mr. Tanaka quickly said.

"Oh?"

Marianne raised an eyebrow, showing some interest, but didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she turned back around, twirling her paintbrush, and said...

"As long as Usopp doesn't leave the Grand Tesoro, we can just keep an eye on other things."

Mr. Tanaka paused for a moment, then said seriously, "Understood."

The words fell.

Mr. Tanaka's body emitted a pale purple light, then quickly sank into the rooftop and disappeared.

The next day.

News of the Grand de Solo's reopening began to spread among the merchants and nobles who had disembarked from the ship.

of course!

More often, it was the merchants and nobles who complained that they had been forced to do the work of slaves for more than a week.

However, few people sympathized with these merchants and nobles; most were more concerned with the message revealed by the Demon Eye Pirates reopening the Grand Tesoro.

From the navy's perspective,

This message is even more important, as it indicates that the Demon Eye Pirates are on the verge of stabilizing.

At a time when all parties are paying close attention to this.

As the captain of the Demon Eye Pirates and the new master of the maritime kingdom, Miki has quietly left the Grand Tesoro.

New world.

On a somewhat desolate island, with ruins everywhere, as if it had survived a great disaster.

"Is this the island of music that once existed?"

Miki walked along the street, which was overgrown with weeds and still had broken stone bricks on the ground, and curiously observed his surroundings.
