Chapter 57: Remember to finish it all
boom!
boom!
boom!
As the Express Shrimp came to a screeching halt, several slamming sounds echoed across the deck of the Freedom, followed by screams and howls.
"Ouch! That hurts, Captain! What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Hill Bott rubbed his face, which had bumped against the doorframe, and asked, looking bewildered.
"Help! Help! Captain!"
Locas, who had been thrown off, grabbed the edge of the ship with one hand and shouted with his eyes closed.
"Hahaha! Locas, you're too weak, this is how you were thrown out!"
Slad, as steady as an old dog, leaned on his two-meter-long iron bar and loudly mocked Locas.
Locas was about to reply when Baku suddenly lifted him up with one hand.
"Ah! We're saved! Thank you, Habaku!"
Snapped
"You're welcome, Locas, we're all family!"
Baku slapped Locas on the back, nearly knocking him out of his seat, which only made everyone burst into laughter.
"Hmm? What is Brother Mu looking for?"
Schidek stood on the edge of the boat, took a drag of his cigarette, and looked curiously at Mu Chong, who had already flown out, and asked in confusion.
"Meow??"
"Huh? What's the captain doing?"
Then everyone gathered around Skedek, all looking at Mu Chong flying back and forth on the sea of clouds, completely forgetting about the trembling Express Shrimp.
"Huh? It's gone again! I clearly sensed it was right here!"
At this moment, Mu Chong had his left arm crossed over his chest and his right hand supporting his chin, his body suspended above the sea of clouds, his eyes filled with confusion as he looked at the lower half of the white sea of clouds.
It turned out that just now, Mu Chong's Observation Haki had sensed that intriguing thing again. In that instant, he called for the Special Express Shrimp to stop, but when he jumped out of the Liberty and arrived above the white sea of clouds, the thing disappeared again.
"No, I'm sure I'm not mistaken! It must be right here! Hiding? Hehehe, you can't hide, so let me find you!"
Mu Chong decisively abandoned his thoughts, a smile appearing on his face, before his body rapidly descended, approaching Hai Yun.
"Phew! I should be fine!"
Just as Mu Chong's hand was about to touch Hai Yun, he turned his head and glanced at Slad on the deck. The latter felt Mu Chong's gaze, his body tensed up, and his grip on the iron bar tightened instinctively.
"Hey! You won't die!"
As soon as Mu Chong finished speaking, he reached his right hand into Haiyun without hesitation, burying his entire palm inside.
"Huh? Damn! This damn feeling of weakness... But thankfully, it's not to the point of exhaustion, and it doesn't affect the use of my abilities!"
The sea clouds over Sky Island and the seawater of Qinghai have the same effect on ability users, but given Mu Chong's current physique, contact over this area has virtually no impact.
"Well then, let me see where you are!"
"Gravity - Cloud Vortex"
As Mu Chong's voice faded, the sea clouds that had touched his palm began to converge towards it. But the next moment, the sea clouds started to swirl around Mu Chong's palm, and then, as the surrounding sea clouds continued to gather under the influence of gravity, the vortex grew larger and larger.
It turns out that Mu Chong first used gravity to attract the surrounding sea clouds, and then changed the direction of gravity to make them rotate around him, thus forming a cloud vortex.
call!
Mu Chong's cloak billowed as a massive vortex enveloped him, growing larger and larger, resembling a slowly forming tornado—except this tornado was formed from pure white sea clouds.
"Huh? Hahaha! Found you!"
Just as everyone on deck was watching this scene with bated breath, an excited voice suddenly rang out from within the cloud vortex.
boom!
The next moment, the enormous white vortex, which had already been hundreds of meters high, shattered with a bang. Sea clouds scattered from the sky like white snowflakes, and Mu Chong, dressed in white, stood amidst the white snowflakes, looking at the pure white Devil Fruit in his hand, as happy as a child.
This pure white Devil Fruit, resembling a pineapple, is entirely covered in white spiral patterns. Upon closer inspection, the patterns look like white clouds floating on its surface. At this moment, the fruit is spinning continuously in Mu Chong's hand.
"Hahaha! No wonder it was so hard to find you. Your color really blends in with the white clouds. If it weren't for the occasional differences in light reflection, it would be really hard to spot you! Hehe! Come with me, I'll find you a master!"
Mu Chong deactivated the buoyancy of the Strength-Strength Fruit's power, grabbed the white Devil Fruit, and turned to fly towards the deck of the Liberty.
"Meow!!"
"The captain is back!"
Seeing Mu Chong fly back from afar, everyone felt a sense of relief, and smiles immediately appeared on their previously tense faces.
Even Slad, who had been tense, relaxed his grip on the iron bar, and his expression softened.
"Hey! Slade! Eat it!"
Mu Chong approached the Freedom, squatted on the edge of the ship, and tossed the white Devil Fruit in his hand directly to Slade, then said in an unyielding tone...
Slard was startled by the sound and caught the flying object. When everyone saw what it was, some were shocked and incredulous, some were confused and didn't know what it was, some looked at it curiously from head to toe, and a cat looked at it with disgust.
"This, this, this is a Devil Fruit..."
Hill Bot was the first to speak, his eyes fixed on the pure white Devil Fruit, his face full of surprise, but there was not a trace of greed in his eyes.
"What? This is the legendary treasure of the sea? A Devil Fruit worth hundreds of millions of Berries?"
Upon hearing Hill Bot's voice, Locas's bewildered gaze instantly focused, then turned to astonishment. Although this guy was born on the Grand Line, he had only ever heard of Devil Fruits, never actually seen one. Now, seeing the real thing, he was utterly astonished.
But compared to the two men's overreaction and Baku's indifference, Slad and his grandson Schidek were unusually quiet.
"Brother Mu! This Devil Fruit..."
The cigarette in Schidek's hand was still burning, almost reaching his hand, but he was oblivious, looking at Mu Chong as he spoke.
But before Schidek could finish speaking, Mu Chong waved his hand to interrupt him.
"Grandpa, I believe in Slade!"
Mu Chong smiled slightly at Skidek and said just one sentence, which made the other's heart race.
"Hahahaha! I'm getting old, I'm getting old!"
With tears in his eyes, Schidek walked towards the control room, laughing heartily. The old man's back was slightly hunched.
A brief silence fell over the deck, even between Hill Bot and Locas. Even the slowest of them could tell how crucial this was for Slard.
Mu Chong squatted on the edge of the boat, a smile on his face, his eyes fixed on Slad, who kept his head down. He didn't speak, waiting for Slad's response.
At this moment, Slade was forcefully suppressing his inner excitement. Having grown up in a naval base, he knew very well what a Devil Fruit meant.
It was a power, a power that made him revered, a power that allowed him to unleash his inner desires, even a power that could touch upon authority.
"Phew! Captain!"
After a long silence, Slad, with his head bowed, took a deep breath and softly called out, "Captain!"
Then Slad slowly raised his head, and when Mu Chong saw those eyes, his smile widened even more; they were incredibly clear eyes.
boom!
Slad clenched his right fist and slammed it heavily into his chest, his eyes fixed on Mu Chong with unwavering determination.
"Captain, I, Slade, am the navigator of the Freedom! Leave it to me, Captain. I guarantee this ship will carry your ambitions to any place on this sea. Leave it to me, Captain!"
Slad, his face flushed, shouted at Mu Chong with all his might.
"Hahahaha! Great!"
Mu Chong looked at Slad, who was over two meters tall, with black dreadlocks, dressed in gray-white clothes, and had a very upright figure, and nodded with great satisfaction.
How could a navigator I chose be bad!
"Remember to finish it all, okay, Slade? Hahahaha!"
