Chapter 195: Enel is Injured
Snapped!
The moment a smile appeared on Baku's face, a hand patted his shoulder, and instantly, the Conqueror's Haki that had been surrounding him vanished.
"captain!"
Baku suppressed his unease and stared intently at Mu Chong. At this moment, Baku's demeanor barely resembled that of a true powerhouse.
"Hahahaha! Baku! A strong person should possess an indomitable sharpness! Your mindset must be able to bear the weight of all your hard work over this long period of time, especially with us by your side! Isn't that right?"
Mu Chong's face was full of smiles, his eyes sparkling with encouragement. He had witnessed Baku's growth firsthand, and with the added enhancement from the Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, Titan Ape, Baku was sure to be a formidable force in the future.
Therefore, the only thing that can influence the extent of Baku's growth is his own mindset, the mindset that a strong person should have.
"Yes! I understand, Captain!"
Upon hearing this, Baku nodded heavily to Mu Chong, the panic in his eyes completely gone, replaced only by unwavering determination.
Just then, the dragon's voice rang out again from the floating Den Den Mushi.
"Hero! With your wisdom, you should be able to see the undercurrents beneath this 10 billion! The Revolutionary Army probably can't be of much help in this matter, so you'd better make plans as soon as possible!"
"Hahahaha! Don't worry, Dragon! Since the Freedom has the guts to challenge the Navy, it's not afraid of being bothered by those lowly nobody! But I still want to thank you for taking the time to call and tell me, you busy person!"
Mu Chong's expression remained calm and composed, his tone as even as ever. He glanced at the floating Den Den Mushi, then continued walking forward.
"Well! In that case, I won't bother you any longer! I hope you can safely get through this dangerous period!"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Long hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to end the call.
"Hey! Wait a minute! A dragon!"
When Mu Chong heard Long about to hang up the Den Den Mushi, a face suddenly flashed in his mind, so he quickly said...
"Hmm? Is there anything else, hero?"
"Ah! That's how it is..."
Mu Chong briefly explained the situation in the Kingdom of Derigos and his arrangements, then hung up the Den Den Mushi without waiting for any further sound.
……
Night fell on Steel Island, and the waters around the island began to calm down, with only gentle waves lapping against the hull of the Liberty.
"Captain! When will Slard and Enel be back? Hopefully nothing bad will happen on their journey!"
After dinner, the crew of the Freedom were all sitting on the deck, gazing at the starry sky. Only Belinda, sitting cross-legged, asked...
"Hmm? The two of them! Judging by their speed, they should be back soon! As for whether they will encounter any danger? We haven't encountered any special strong individuals on our journey from Sky Island to here! Besides, with their abilities, in the first half of the Grand Line, as long as they don't do anything reckless, no one can stop them!"
Upon hearing Belinda's question, Mu Chong glanced at the distant starry sky, a barely perceptible hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
There was no concern about Enel's strength. With that guy's power, it would be difficult to find a worthy opponent in this area. Besides, even if he were to stumble upon a strong opponent by sheer luck, he could easily escape unscathed.
Mu Chong is more worried about Slade!
"captain!!"
Just as Mu Chong's thoughts were drifting, a small, slightly warm hand suddenly covered the back of his hand, which was resting on the deck.
"Ok?"
Mu Chong paused for a moment, then turned his head to look, only to see Aisha smiling at him.
"Hehehe! It's nothing! Don't worry!"
Seeing Aisha's eyes, Mu Chong instantly understood what she meant. It seemed that Aisha's Observation Haki had improved again; she truly was a natural Observation Haki expert.
"what?"
Just as Mu Chong was about to say something more, Aisha suddenly looked surprised, her eyes fixed on the distant starry sky.
"Ok?"
Aisha's change in expression startled Mu Chong. He then followed Aisha's gaze, his Observation Haki spreading out. But the next moment, a smile appeared on Mu Chong's face.
"Hahaha! Good heavens! Speak of the devil and he appears! The ancients were right! Hmm? Slard is back even faster than Enel?"
The once star-studded night sky in the distance was suddenly obscured by a layer of clouds. This suddenly appearing cloud layer was extremely large, and accompanied by the thick darkness, it quickly drifted towards the Freedom.
"Meow!!!"
"Huh? Captain! Someone's coming from the sky! Clouds? Could it be...?"
Just then, Mumu the white cat and Baku stood up simultaneously, their eyes burning as they looked up at the clouds covering their heads. Mumu growled as a warning, while Baku's Observation Haki told him that the aura above was familiar.
"Tch! Let's go! I didn't realize it was so late! Time to go back to sleep!"
Mu Chong glanced at the clouds in the sky, then winked at the people on the deck, and made as if to get up and walk towards the cabin.
"Forehead!!!"
"Hehehehehe!"
Mu Chong's actions surprised Baku, and even made Aisha, who was sitting down, burst out laughing.
call!
boom!
"Hey! Captain! I've come all this way back, why didn't you even greet me? Why did you just turn around and leave?"
Just as Mu Chong stood up and took a step, a figure suddenly plummeted from the clouds, landing with a thud on the deck and giving Mu Chong a good beating.
The newcomer was none other than Slad, who had returned from Mogu Town on Jaya Island. He stood with his arms crossed, looking at Mu Chong with a face full of dissatisfaction.
"Hahahahaha!!"
Upon hearing Slad's words, Mu Chong laughed loudly, then slowly turned around and walked towards Slad.
"Ok?"
To everyone's surprise, including Slad's, Mu Chong opened his arms and gave Slad a huge, firm hug.
"It's good to be back! You've worked hard, my navigator!"
After doing all this, Mu Chong turned and walked straight towards the cabin without looking back, his steps incredibly graceful and unrestrained.
"What?! Hey, everyone! What happened to the captain while I was away?"
Mu Chong's actions left Slad completely bewildered, and he quickly stepped forward to ask the crowd.
"Hehehe! I'm suddenly sleepy too! Laura! Shall we go back to our room and sleep?"
Seeing Slade's reaction, Aisha immediately covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled, then beckoned to the mermaid Laura beside her to head towards the cabin.
Laura smiled slightly upon hearing this, and consciously collected the wine glass that Mu Chong had left on the deck, then followed Aisha into the cabin.
Snapped!
"You've worked hard, Slade! Get some rest!"
Baku walked over to Slad, patted him on the shoulder, and said something earnestly before turning and going back to the lounge.
Before long, only Slad, completely unaware of what had happened, remained on deck. He glanced around the Freedom's deck, then shook his head helplessly and went into his bedroom.
……
Guaou! Guaou!
call!
The next morning, a ray of purple dawn shone precisely on Mu Chong, who was sitting at the bow of the Freedom. Bathed in the light, Mu Chong appeared faintly visible.
"Hmm! That feels good! My Observation Haki has improved quite a bit! It seems that keeping my mind calm at all times is beneficial for using Observation Haki!"
As he spoke, Mu Chong slowly opened his closed eyes, his gaze sweeping across the sea before settling on the blue sky and white clouds.
"Hehehe! I still can't sense the meteorite in the sky! I always thought my Observation Haki was strong enough, but compared to Yixiao, it's still far behind!"
Just now, Mu Chong concentrated his Observation Haki and tried to sense the sky. His Observation Haki pierced through the clouds, and then he could sense nothing more. This made Mu Chong shake his head with a wry smile.
"Ok?"
Stab it!
Just then, Mu Chong's expression suddenly froze, followed by a streak of silver-blue lightning that hurtled towards the Liberty at incredible speed.
Boom!
The next second, Enel, dressed in a white robe, appeared on the deck of the Liberty with a slightly solemn expression.
"Hahahaha! Huh? Enel! You're injured?"
