Weapon fruit is rubbish? Have you ever heard of Ryujin Jakka?

"Break it, Mirror Flowers and Water Moon."

As the voice reached Crocodile and Nico Robin's ears, they both found that the picture in their vision suddenly shattered.

The space was like a cracked mirror, with shocking cracks extending across it.

It was like the sky was forcibly cracked by Edward Newgate using the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

next second.

After the sound of glass breaking, both Crocodile and Nico Robin found that the broken space in front of them was like a mirror falling to the ground, shattering into pieces.

then.

The frozen stone tablet recording the location of Pluto; the frozen underground burial hall, and even King Cobra beside him, all of these disappeared in the moment the space shattered.

It's like it never appeared.

Followed by.

A desolate, endless desert came into the eyes of Crocodile and Nico Robin.

Other than that.

There were also two figures wearing cloaks of justice, who appeared as the space shattered and the environment changed.

The distance is not far, less than ten meters.

These two people were clearly by their side the entire time, but neither Crocodile nor Nico Robin noticed.

"how is this possible?"

Faced with a series of sudden changes, even a shrewd person like Crocodile was horrified at this moment.

Not to mention Nico Robin.

Underground funeral temple.

A stone tablet that records historical texts.

King Cobra.

The three disappeared like a dream bubble.

what is this?

A mirage?

What about Rosen and Kuzan?

Is it also a mirage?

The successive changes made the president and vice president of Baroque Works unable to help but begin to doubt whether everything they saw was real or illusory.

"Rosen."

"Kuzan."

Nicole Robin looked at Rosen, then at Kuzan, her pretty face changing expression, and her body unconsciously stepped back as if she was frightened.

"Calm down."

"Don't panic."

"Robin."

Kuzan took in all the changes in Nico Robin's expression and quickly spoke to comfort her.

Even though he ate the coldest devil fruit, before Rosen, he was also known as the warmest admiral in the navy.

For Nico Robin.

The world sees her as the devil's child, but as a marine and an admiral at the headquarters, he treats her as his daughter.

One of the reasons for choosing to suppress the first half of the Grand Line instead of the New World was that by staying in Paradise, one could legitimately approach and even see Nico Robin.

"rest assured."

“What you see now is real.”

"I am real, Rosen is real, and everything here is real, not an illusion."

Kuzan could understand how terrible the psychological shock Nico Robin was suffering now.

Even if he was just a bystander, following Rosen and witnessing everything from the sidelines, he still felt cold and horrified.

Yes.

As a user of the Ice Fruit, Kuzan had no idea what icy coldness was. Just by watching Rosen use the ability of Mirror Flower and Water Moon to play with Nico Robin and Crocodile in the palm of his hand, he felt a chill running from his spine all the way to the top of his head.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that a pirate of Crocodile's level could fall into hallucinations and be unable to extricate himself.

First, he stood in front of the gate of the Alabasta Palace, and then used the ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit to fire at the air.

It was like he was fighting a group of invisible palace guards.

then.

To the air, talking to myself.

It was like having a conversation with the invisible Cobra and Vivi.

Followed by.

Led by Cobra, who did not exist in the first place, Crocodile walked out of the capital, Arubana, and came to the desert outside the capital.

In the end, although they were clearly standing in the desert, it felt like they had come to a non-existent underground burial hall, and Nicole Robin had to interpret a non-existent stone tablet.

This process.

Kuzan has a great view from beginning to end.

If he hadn't seen Nico Robin in life-and-death crisis and couldn't help but rescue her, neither Crocodile nor Nico Robin would have been aware of his existence.

What made Kuzan even more horrified was that after he intervened, Crocodile could not find him by sight alone, but after using his Observation Haki, he could not even sense his breath.

Of course, there is also the breath of Rosen.

What does this mean?

The Zanpakutō in Rosen's hand, named Kyoka Suigetsu, can not only completely control the five senses of a Shichibukai like Crocodile.

Even the observation Haki cannot see through the illusion.

Controls Crocodile's five senses.

Controls Crocodile's observation Haki.

The King of Desert became a complete captive of Mirror Flower Water Moon Knife.

"..."

Nico Robin said nothing.

Although she had experienced many ups and downs, and with Kuzan's comfort and explanation, the horror, shock, and a hint of unconcealable fear on her pretty face still did not subside.

Seeing that Nico Robin was still in shock, Kuzan had no choice.

He knew that now he could only leave it to time.

Only when Nico Robin calms herself down can she break free from the fear that is dominated by illusions.

"What is real?"

"What illusion?"

"Rosen, what on earth is going on?"

After hearing Kuzan's words, Crocodile seemed to understand something, but it was precisely because of his understanding that he found it difficult to accept.

The king of the desert was being played around with like a puppet.

No.

Not even as good as a puppet.

"Don't you already know?"

“This is your world.”

"Crocodale."

Facing Crocodile's excited and angry gaze, Rosen responded with an indifferent chuckle from the King of the Desert.

"my world?"

Crocodile's expression changed again and again when he heard this.

Even though Rosen said so, and his mind told him that what he saw now was real, after facing the power of illusions himself, he couldn't help but doubt that what he saw was an illusion.

Simultaneously.

He also tensed up, always ready to dodge with elemental moves and counterattack.

no way.

What you see with your eyes is false.

What you smell with your nose is fake.

What you hear with your ears is false

What you touch physically is also fake.

Even what you taste with your mouth is fake.

That's fine.

The real horror is that what is sensed by the Observation Haki is still fake.

Faced with this situation, even the Desert King, who had traveled across the New World and fought against Douglas Barrett and Edward Newgate, felt unprecedented terror and shock.

"Yes."

“This is your world.”

"Now, I am just returning it to you."

Rosen looked at Crocodile, whose nerves were tense, his face was alert, and his eyes were filled with anxiety and palpitations, and then spoke in a tone that was eerily calm.
