The Replica Magic Starting from Black Four

Chapter 389 Smoker's Nervousness Once Again Broadcast to the World
Hearing Luffy's shout.

Lucci then realized that his behavior had been a bit too extreme. After all, it was impossible for a former CP9 member not to react when someone suddenly appeared behind him.

Just as Lucci was about to stop his rapid retreat...

Bang!
Suddenly, a stream of colorful ink, like a spring, appeared all around him and rushed towards him at high speed.

In a blink of an eye!

The colored ink had already enveloped Lucci, leaving only his head exposed.

Furthermore, under the power of the ink, Lucci was able to revert from his human-beast form and return to his human appearance.

A strong sense of restraint enveloped Lucci's entire body, making it impossible for him to exert any force!
"Painting Magic: Spring of Binding!"

A clear, slightly childish voice rang out from the air.

Marianne's figure slowly descended from the sky.

"What is this doing?"

Lucci struggled violently, his face grim, only to find that he couldn't break free from the bindings of the colored ink, and that his Devil Fruit seemed to be restricted as well, unable to be activated.

Upon seeing this, Luffy immediately looked at Marianu in the air with dissatisfaction: "Release Lucci immediately, our battle is not over yet."

"Are you going to back out of the tournament organized by your Demon Eye Pirates?"

Luffy hasn't forgotten that it was this member of the Mystic Eyes Pirates, who looked almost like a child, who took Usopp away.

tread!
Marianu landed lightly on the ground, glancing expressionlessly at Luffy: "It's unbelievable that she knows you."

she?
Luffy was somewhat bewildered by the answer and was just about to speak again when...

"This battle is over."

A silvery-white spatial passage appeared, and Robin's calm voice came from within.

Followed by.

Robin and Buggy emerged from the spatial portal.

"Kid, you're in luck."

Buggy, head held high and grinning with his lipstick-covered lips, looked Luffy up and down. "Join our Magic Eye Pirates. I find you quite pleasing to the eye."

"Follow me, and you can have as much money as you want, hahaha."

Bucky burst into laughter, seemingly oblivious to everything else.

"do not want!"

Luffy refused without hesitation, then glanced at the remaining members of the Mystic Eyes Pirates, lingering briefly on Robin before looking away.
"I don't know exactly what happened, but I won, right?"

“That’s right,” Robin said softly.

"You bastard! You brat!" Bucky's expression stiffened slightly after being rejected so bluntly.

"I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

"How could you join another pirate crew!" Luffy stared at Buggy and shouted.

"That's hilarious, you think you can do that?" Bucky said sarcastically.

now.

With the successive appearances of Marianne and others.

All eyes in the arena refocused on the center of the ring.

"That is……"

"Members of the Demon Eye Pirates!"

"Buggy the Clown, Mochi the Animal Tamer, Cabaji the Acrobat, Mariannu the Painter, and Robin the Devil's Child!"

"This is a notorious pirate with a bounty exceeding 1 million!"

"...!"

A cacophony of sounds, a mixture of fear and excitement, rose from the audience.

Zone 67.

Naval base in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Upon seeing the members of the Mystic Eyes Pirates suddenly appear on the live stream of the Den Den Mushi, Smoker couldn't help but sit up straight.

"These guys, they all really came!"

"Where are Captain Mogi and First Mate Conrad of the Demon Eye Pirates?"

Smoker's expression was serious as he looked at the newspaper on his desk.

Even Smoker, with his personality, was startled when he saw the public execution of Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.

This is a major event that could influence the world order!
No wonder that after he was transferred to the Sabaody Archipelago, the headquarters' orders were only to stabilize the situation there, rather than to eliminate the pirates.

"They really picked a great time!"

Smoker watched the live stream from District 44, a smile spreading across his unkempt, stubble-covered face.

On average, only one pirate has ever been called a "Supernova" in the past, such as "Fire Fist" Ace five years ago and "White Horse" Cavendish three years ago.

This year, the number of pirates dubbed "Supernovas" has skyrocketed to 11th place!
There was even a powerful pirate crew called the Demon Eye Pirates, which was completely beyond the realm of common sense and easily transcended the rookie title of "Supernova".

It doesn't mention entering the new world in the shortest possible time.

The fact that he caused such a major incident in the Sabaody Archipelago and managed to escape from the encirclement of three admirals is enough to make anyone take him seriously.

This series of events almost pushed the pirates' influence to an extremely arrogant level!

Now, they even dare to openly recruit crew members in the Sabaody Archipelago, which shows that they completely disregard the navy!

Smoker knew very well that if the Navy did nothing about this, the damage to its reputation would be enormous.

This happened some time ago.

Smoker kept contacting Navy Headquarters, requesting support. Because of this, Smoker almost abandoned his post and returned to the East China Sea.

now!

Spreading the news of the public execution of Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, at this time not only dealt a blow to the momentum that the Demon Eye Pirates had built up over this period.

It was a blow to all pirates across the entire ocean!
Smoker propped his legs up on the desk, thinking to himself, when suddenly he was startled.

"Someone is coming!!"

Smoker yelled at the door.

Click!

The door was pushed open immediately, and soldiers in naval uniforms strode in. "Sir!"

"Immediately inquire with the people monitoring Sector 44 whether the captain and first mate of the Demon Eye Pirates have left the arena," Smoker said with an extremely serious expression.

He suspected that Miki had left the arena and returned to the New World.

The Whitebeard Pirates are now highly likely to go to war with the Navy because of Ace. If the Magic Eye Pirates were to join in at this time...

The Whitebeard Pirates invited Mogi not long ago, so it's not exactly a secret!
"Yes, sir!" the naval soldier replied hastily, just about to turn and leave.

Boo-roo-roo~

The phone on the desk rang.

Smoker frowned, reached for the phone, and upon hearing the voice on the other end, his impatience vanished instantly.

"Keeping an eye on the Demon Eye Pirates? I know."

"Is this so?"

"it is good."

Smoker's serious expression vanished, and he took the microphone from his ear and hung up.

"Honestly, I don't need to worry about this kind of thing." "Such a big thing happened, and there's been absolutely no reaction. Moreover, the Demon Eye Pirates didn't suffer any damage under these circumstances."

Smoker muttered to himself softly, then looked up at the naval soldier from before, "No need."

Although the naval soldier was somewhat puzzled, he still nodded respectfully and withdrew from the office.

Smoker scratched his short silver hair and plopped back down in his chair.

The Demon Eye Pirates have captured two of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders, making war inevitable. Under these circumstances, the Demon Eye Pirates are completely unable to provide support to the Whitebeard Pirates.

If headquarters has even considered this kind of thing, then the other two major powers must also be prepared.

Smoker looked back at the live stream and paused slightly, his expression momentarily blank.

Mogi and the vice-captain Conrad, who had not appeared just now, are now above the arena!
Zone 44.

A competitive arena.

After the members of the Demon Eye Pirates appeared, the atmosphere in the venue quieted down again, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the center of the arena.

"I'm here to participate in the competition, why are you binding me!" Lucci remained calm as he spoke, struggling to break free from the power of the painting magic.

However, with his Devil Fruit powers affected, he simply couldn't break free using his own strength!
"is it?"

"I don't think the former CP9 members just wanted to compete for the championship."

Robin turned to look at Lucci and spoke in a calm voice.

Last time in Water Seven, she was a prisoner, her fate completely out of her control. But now, fate seems to have reversed, and Lucci has become a prisoner.

only.

When she was in Water 7, Luffy and the Straw Hat crew came to save her, but who will save Lucci now?
Faced with Robin's cold words.

Lucci showed no sign of panic. Since Robin had joined the Magic Eye Pirates, the information about her being a CP9 member would naturally be obtained by the Magic Eye Pirates.

This was entirely expected.

"The mission to capture you in Water 7 failed last time, and I have been removed from the list. I am currently wanted by the World Government, just like you."

Lu Qi spoke expressionlessly.

"Heh." Robin suddenly let out a soft laugh.

Lu Qi frowned slightly, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

“You still don’t seem to understand one thing, Mr. Lucci.” Robin smiled and shook his head. “For us, we don’t need evidence; suspicion is enough.”

Lucci's pupils shrank.

hum-

Suddenly.

The air vibrated slightly, and a ripple spread out from mid-air.

The figures of Mumu and Conrad appeared out of thin air above everyone's heads, especially behind Conrad, where several unconscious figures were suspended.

Lu Qi looked at these people, and his expression completely changed.

"captain!"

"First Captain!"

Marianne and the others quickly and respectfully spoke up.

"As expected of a special operations organization, they are really cautious. They are completely scattered in various locations throughout the Sabaody Archipelago, and it took some time to find them."

Mogi shrugged and smiled as he spoke.

boom! boom! boom!
CP9 members such as Jabra, Kalifa, and Kujiri were thrown down by Conrad and slammed to the ground.

Miki and Conrad then fell from the sky.

As members of the Demon Eye Pirates appeared one after another, the audience was somewhat bewildered, completely unaware of what was happening, and whispers continued to rise from all around.

First, the Navy published newspapers announcing Ace's public execution, then all the members of the Demon Eye Pirates appeared at the arena. These successive events made everyone vaguely sense that a storm was brewing.

For a moment, the audience dared not make a loud noise.

“Conrad,” Mumu said, turning his head and smiling.

Conrad nodded and took out a projection Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

"Communication magic".

Miki raised her hand and gently tapped the video Den Den Mushi.

In an instant!
A communication signal, imperceptible to ordinary people, spread rapidly to the surrounding area with the aid of communication magic.

Every location with a video Den Den Mushi was forcibly switched to the scene in the center of the arena.

The whole world was in an uproar once again!

Countless tense, chaotic, and panicked voices rang out from all over the world, especially when they saw those familiar figures on the screen of the video Den Den Mushi.

This surprised many people!
After all, something similar happened last time.

Navy Headquarters.

In a huge conference room.

Many of the vice admirals and the three admirals, who are considered to be among the top fighters, have all gathered here to discuss the upcoming battle with the Whitebeard Pirates.

"asshole!"

"These pirates are too arrogant, how dare they do this!"

A lieutenant general, looking at the automatically activated communication Den Den Mushi and the video playing, slammed his fist on the table in anger.

The already tense atmosphere, stemming from the conflict with the Whitebeard Pirates, became even more agitated at this moment.

The Sabaody Archipelago incident, which was caused by the Magic Eye Pirates, took the Navy quite a bit of effort to completely suppress its impact.

At this crucial moment, if the Demon Eye Pirates cause any more trouble, then things will really get complicated!

"Don't worry, Lieutenant General Mozambique."

"No matter what the Demon Eye Pirates want to do, he has no energy left to interfere in the upcoming battle."

Sengoku gently tapped the table and spoke in a calm and composed tone.

Upon hearing this, the somewhat restless and tense atmosphere in the meeting room gradually dissipated.

It is evident that even the vice admirals of the Marine Headquarters felt immense pressure as they were about to face Whitebeard, the "strongest man in the world."

"The research department is working on instruments to block signal propagation, but they can't block the signal?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru appeared quite calm, leaning back in his chair with his hands crossed on his knees, his gaze fixed on the live broadcast.

When Zhan Guo saw this scene, his round-framed glasses reflected a slight light, making it impossible to see the changes in his emotions behind them.

"We can discuss the deployment issue later."

"Let's see what the Shadow Pirates are up to first." Sengoku decided to stop the discussion altogether.

No amount of caution is too much when dealing with the Whitebeard Pirates, and since a final plan cannot be determined quickly, this incident is a good opportunity for everyone to calm down.

aside.

Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji looked at the figures on the live stream screen, but their expressions were all different.

Kizaru frowned, his expression turning somewhat grim.

Aokiji hadn't changed much; he had just been looking lazy and about to fall asleep during the meeting, but now he was intently watching the live stream.

Especially Akainu.

The faintly emanating heat indicated that the other party's emotions were extremely volatile.

If it weren't for more important matters to attend to, Akainu would have already set off for the Sabaody Archipelago.
