The Replica Magic Starting from Black Four

Chapter 367 Morgans' Cooperation: A Journey to the Island of the Future
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Seeing Uta walking briskly towards him, Miki clapped and said, "Your first performance was an unexpected success, Miss Uta."

"Thank you, Mogi."

"This is the happiest day of my life."

Uta was slightly out of breath, having been suppressing her excitement, but now that she saw someone familiar, her face finally showed, her cheeks flushed red.

Miki lowered his hand and shook his head slightly: "This is your own hard work, it has nothing to do with me. And don't forget, I'm also your fan."

Uta looked a little embarrassed, her beautiful eyes subconsciously glancing around, "Where's Gordon?"

Having just performed a song in front of such a large audience, Uta wanted to share this joy with Mumu and Gordon, two people she knew well.

“He’s already left.” After Uta’s breathing had stabilized a bit, Mimu continued, “Before he left, Gordon asked me to tell you that even if he couldn’t see your first performance, he knew you would succeed.”

"Because you are the inheritor of 'Music Island Eligia,' your voice will eventually resound throughout the world and be heard by everyone."

As Mumu spoke, looking at Uta's already reddened eyes, he said, "I believe the same thing."

He had thought that the news of Gordon's sudden departure would seriously affect Uta's mood.

however.

Upon hearing what Mumu said, Uta's eyes reddened even more, but he remained unusually calm and composed.

"I see."

"No one can stop someone from heading to the sea, can they?"

Uta forced a bright smile, put his hands behind his back, and nodded heavily.

night.

Uta sat on a huge princess bed, with a soft mattress covered with a gorgeous silk quilt decorated with musical notes.

The room is very spacious, especially the exquisite grand piano located in the center of the living room.

Uta glanced at the murals on the wall, then turned to look out the window, where she could clearly see the sea.

A sea breeze blew in from outside, causing the light, sheer curtains to sway gently.

Bang~
Uta spread her arms and lay back on the soft bed, reaching for a pillow from the headboard and pressing it against her head.

Despite being exhausted, Uta couldn't fall asleep easily because so much had happened that day.

"Go for it, Uta!"

Uta's muffled voice came from under the pillow.

the other side.

The top floor of the Golden Hotel.

Miki listened to Robin's report with some surprise, flipping through a document in his hand.

"Tsk, no wonder he works in journalism, Morgans' eye for talent is really sharp." Mimu said with a sigh.

Morgans planned to add a lottery to the newspaper, with each issue featuring unique numbers, and then selecting a certain number of winners from among the newspaper's buyers each issue.

The lottery entertainment program on the Grand De Solo has only been running for about half a month, and many people are probably unaware of or even unfamiliar with this new type of entertainment activity.

Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency, was already able to perceive the astonishing profits that lotteries could bring.
Such a keen sense of smell is truly commendable!

Once lottery is added as a form of entertainment, Mogi believes that the sales of the World Economic News will increase significantly.

"A licensing fee of 100 million yuan per year? That's really clever."

Mumu closed the document in his hand and handed it to Robin, who was standing respectfully to the side. He said calmly, "Change the licensing fee to 500 million Berries per year. It must be paid in advance."

Robin took the documents, somewhat surprised and astonished.

It would be surprising if they didn't take the opportunity to raise the price offered by the other party five times.

but!

Robin believed that Morgans would eventually agree.

The combination of lottery entertainment and newspapers is incredibly important for global economic news.

The thought that they don't have to do anything and still receive 500 million in licensing fees every year is quite something.

Robin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Although Captain Miki invented the "lottery," there are no patents in this world.

Normally, Morgans wouldn't need to consult with Miki at all to publish the article directly in the newspaper.

However, the other party did not do that, and even paid money every year. The reason is very simple: the strength of the Demon Eye Pirates!

"Also, let Morgans help us publicize the selection of the 'Ten Yuan Generals' in the Sabaody Archipelago."

"In order to attract strong pirates to participate, the winner can choose to join our Magic Eye Pirates for 20 billion Berries, a Logia-type Devil Fruit, or one other request."

A faint smile appeared on Mumu's face as she spoke softly to Robin, who looked on in astonishment.

"Looks like it's attractive enough." Seeing Robin's shocked expression, Mogi nodded in satisfaction.

Hear this.

Robin quickly suppressed the shock on his face, his voice trembling as he hurriedly replied, "Yes."

The last time the Demon Eye Pirates caused a huge commotion in the Sabaody Archipelago, this time the commotion may be smaller, but it will probably still attract the attention of countless people.

Join the Demon Eye Pirates!
Two billion peles!
Logia-type Devil Fruits!
One request!
Of the four options, two billion Berries seems to be more attractive to the pirates, but in reality, it is the least valuable of the four.

The Demon Eye Pirates are currently one of the top pirate crews on the entire sea, and in terms of reputation, they are only slightly weaker than the Four Emperors.

With the Grand Tesoro, home to the world's largest entertainment complex, the wealth of the Demon Eye Pirates is unimaginable. Just joining the Demon Eye Pirates alone is worth far more than a mere 2 billion Berries.

Logia-type Devil Fruits are not ordinary Devil Fruits; they cannot be valued by price. A single Logia-type Devil Fruit can easily create a powerful individual.

As for the value of "a request", it is even more difficult to measure, since this request can be directly replaced by the option of "five billion Berries" or even "one hundred Berries".

If there is a loophole that can be exploited?

The thought flashed through Robin's mind, and he kept it in mind.

"Is there something you want to say?" Mumu looked at Robin, having already noticed that Robin seemed to have something to say.

"Captain, I ran into Usopp not long ago."

Robin straightened his expression and gave a general account of the speculation that someone might want to cause damage on the Grand de Solo.

Hear these words.

Momoki showed no surprise on his face, instead waving his hand dismissively.

"Ordinary people wouldn't dare cause trouble on this ship."

"Since they dare to do this, I'd also like to know who these people are. I can also take care of some of the scheming guys on this ship."

Yumu spoke calmly, then turned to Robin and said:
"Get things sorted out tonight, and come with me to visit someone tomorrow. I think it will be a pleasant surprise for you."

visit?

Robin was surprised when he heard the word.

For Lord Miki to use the word "visit," it's clear that this person's identity is either very special or that they possess immense strength on the high seas.

Could it be one of the Four Emperors?

“Yes, Captain.” Robin immediately answered respectfully, despite his inner doubts.

The next day, early morning.

It is located in a separate restaurant on the middle floor of the Golden Hotel.

A huge dining table, nearly five meters long, was laden with a sumptuous spread of food. Large expanses of transparent glass covered the balcony, allowing those at the table to easily see the sea outside.

The newly risen sun shone on the sea, turning the horizon a golden hue.

The salty sea breeze blew in through the window, feeling exceptionally comfortable.

Robin crossed his arms and leaned against the window, his dark blue eyes looking towards the restaurant entrance: "Am I the first one here?"

It didn't take long.

Two footsteps sounded.
Wearing a white trench coat and gold-rimmed glasses, looking very elegant like an aristocrat, Kabaji and Mochi, who was wearing only a vest and suit trousers and whose muscles were bulging, pushed open the door and strode in.

"I thought we were the first two to arrive, but I didn't expect you to be the first one here, Robin, the son of the devil."

Robin, standing by the window, looked on with interest.

Cabaji was very curious about why this woman, who had only recently joined their pirate crew and was known as the "Child of the Devil," was called that.

Robin met Kabaji's gaze calmly, though she could sense the dangerous aura emanating from him.

"It's just a simple title given by the Navy with a bounty on it; it doesn't have any special meaning."

"Besides, I'm not positioned as a combatant, and my strength is much weaker than yours." Robin smiled slightly and spoke calmly.

"is it?"

Kabaji's sharp gaze swept over the Mystic Eye cross around Robin's neck, and he gave a noncommittal snort.

He knew that the Mystic Eye Cross that Robin wore around his neck was not an ordinary one, but a Mystic Eye Cross that possessed magical power just like them.

It is not difficult to determine this.

These unique magic eye crosses are marked with numbers, which represent the ranking of their strength.

Now, his and Mochi's rankings have changed.

Kabaji now speculates that Robin is currently ranked tenth, Mariannu is ninth, he is eighth, and Mochi is seventh.

Marianne's talent was acknowledged by the captain and was considered superior to theirs. However, she had spent most of her time dealing with matters concerning the Grand de Solo, which had caused her to neglect her training.

Isn't the role assigned to combat personnel?
Ah!
The leader wouldn't bestow a numbered Mystic Eye Cross upon someone who isn't a combatant.

For example, Bucky's cross is just a regular Mystic Eyes cross.

Kabaji looked away from Robin and casually pulled out a chair to sit at the dining table.

As for Mochi, he wasn't very interested in the conversation between Kabachi and Robin, and had already found a chair to sit down.

"I remember the captain doesn't usually have breakfast with us, what's going on today?"

Mochi raised his thick arm and rested it behind his neck, speaking with some confusion.

Seeing the two of them sit down in order, Robin got up from the window and walked over to the dining table, just about to start explaining.

A reply came from outside the door.

“Because a new crew member has joined.” Mariannu and Bucky entered the restaurant.

"Good spirits, Mariannu, and Boss Bucky."

Kabaji turned to look at the two of them and spoke with a smile.

"What a feast today."

"I'm starving, hahaha."

Bucky's eyes immediately fell on the abundant food on the table. He laughed loudly and strode over to grab a seat in the middle.

"A new member? Who is it, and how strong is it?" Mochi leaned forward, looking at Mariannu with curiosity.

"We'll find out later."

Mariannu said calmly, glanced at where Robin was sitting, paused briefly, and then walked over and sat down next to Robin.

I noticed the subtle, unspoken actions of everyone present.

Robin's eyes flickered slightly, but he pretended to be nonchalant and smiled at Marianne, who had sat down.

but.

Marianne remained expressionless.

Robin didn't mind. By observing the seating arrangement among the group, she noticed that Kabaji, Mochi, and Bucky were closer together.

Marianne Nue responded relatively coldly to the three of them.

But that's normal.

Buggy and his two companions were all on the same pirate ship, and Mariannu, like her, was a former member of Baroque Works.

The people at the table didn't have to wait long.

With a mix of curiosity and nervousness, Miki led Uta into the restaurant.

The moment I saw Miki appear,
Everyone present immediately stood up from their seats and respectfully greeted, "Captain!"

A sudden loud noise.

Uta instinctively shrank his neck, while looking curiously at the people at the table.

Are these the crew members of Miki?
Uta's gaze swept over everyone, and it met Robin's smiling eyes. Her cheeks flushed, and she quickly looked away.

As Uta addressed the crowd, Marianne and the others also paid close attention to Uta, the newly joined crew member.

There was no sense of threat whatsoever.

He was even physically weak.

To the people present, Uta seemed more like an ordinary, cute girl than a pirate.

"No need to be so serious, it's just to let you get to know the new members."

Yumu simply waved his hand, then found the main seat and sat down, while Uta sat down next to Yumu.

As Yumu picked up the black tea on the table and took a sip, everyone at the table began to eat.

Bucky, in particular, immediately grabbed his favorite hot dog and stuffed it into his mouth.

The slightly serious atmosphere dissipated as everyone enjoyed their meal. Uta was a little nervous at first, but she quickly found herself immersed in the lively atmosphere.

They even occasionally start talking to other people.

Uta's apparent fear of interacting with others stems from her long-term isolation on Music Island; her true personality is cheerful and outgoing.

They seem to be a pretty good group of people.

Uta scooped up a spoonful of broth and put it in her mouth, her light purple eyes narrowing slightly, a smile playing on her lips.

As the mealtime came to an end.

Mochi, who seemed to have something to say, put down his knife and fork and suddenly looked up at Uta: "Um, what's that magic eye cross around your neck?"

When Moqi said this, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He could sense the magic contained in the cross around Uta's neck, which seemed somewhat similar to his own magic.

"what?"

"You mean this? It was given to me by Miki. After wearing it, I feel like my physical strength has improved a lot."

Uta reached out and picked up the magic eye cross hanging around her neck, and answered softly.

Is it not an ordinary cross for healing, but a magical cross with a magical eye?
As soon as these words came out.

Kabaji and Mariannu also looked up at the magic eye cross worn around Uta's neck.

Uta didn't think much of it, since she noticed everyone was wearing crosses around their necks.

"May I ask what the number is on the Mystic Eye at the center of your Mystic Eye Cross?"

Kabaji straightened up and spoke up as well.

"Oh, you said this."

"I didn't even notice. There was a number on it, it was 'six'."

Uta flipped his magic eye cross over, and after seeing the numbers on it clearly, he spoke.

hum-

Mariannu, Kabaji, Mochi, Robin, and even Buggy all paused at the same time, looking at Uta with surprised and uncertain eyes.

To know!
The magic eye crosses they carry, each containing a number, indicate the strength of the person represented by the smaller the number.

This seemingly frail and weak Uta, who appears to have little fighting ability, is actually stronger than all of them.

Mochi's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Robin, it's time for us to go too."

Ignoring the emotional changes in everyone's hearts, Mumu stood up and spoke to Robin beside him.

"Yes, Captain."

Robin suppressed his surprise and quickly got up and walked towards the tree.

next moment!
Miki and Robin disappeared simultaneously from the Golden Hotel.

When the two reappeared

They had arrived above a vast ocean, and not far away, an island shrouded in smog appeared in their field of vision.

"Where am I?" Robin asked, puzzled.

"Island of the Future".

Momo smiled gently.
