Chapter 119 Landing on Drum Island

Chapter 119: Landing on Drum Island

Drum Island is a winter island in the Grand Line that is covered in snow all year round. The island is very large, and due to its weather, the surrounding waters are also very cold.

Wow! It's snowing! How beautiful!

On the deck of the Freedom, Mu Chong and his group changed into thicker clothes and fleece-lined white robes.

Elsa stretched out both hands, looked up at the sky, and while catching the snowflakes, she said...

"Meow!!!"

Mumu the white cat was also jumping around on the deck, having a great time playing with Elsa.

"Captain! Look! We've arrived!"

Slade, on the lookout tower, shouted loudly, pointing to the white island that appeared before them.

"Is this the Drum Island the captain mentioned? Are those tall, white cylinders mountains? They're so unique!"

Elsa stood at the bow, raising her hand to look ahead, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Hahaha! That's right, this is Drum Island, an island covered in snow all year round. We just experienced yellow sand and now we're surrounded by snow. The weather on the Grand Line is truly peculiar!"

Mu Chong also stood at the bow, looking up at Cigu Island, explaining as he sized it up.

The Freedom slowly approached the coast of Drum Island. The closer they got, the heavier the snow fell. When everyone stepped onto the shore, they were all astonished by the depth of the snow beneath their feet.

"Thank you so much for saving our lives, sir! If it's alright, we would like to invite you all to a meal in the village!"

At this moment, among those rescued by Mu Chong, a middle-aged man cautiously approached Mu Chong and his group and whispered...

"Hmm? Hahahaha! No need! Now that you've arrived at Drum Island, you're free. I'm sure you still remember the way home, so let's part ways here!"

Upon hearing the other person's words, Mu Chong turned his head to look at them, and then spoke calmly.

Amidst the constant expressions of gratitude, Mu Chong and his group stepped onto Drum Island. As for the issue of leaving the Freedom behind, it was completely unnecessary. With Enel as their radar, the Freedom's safety was guaranteed.

creak!creak!

The group of five, along with a white cat, moved slowly through the snow, the sound of their feet crunching against the snow with each step.

"Captain! Is there really a ship's doctor we need on this island? It looks so desolate!"

Baku tightened his coat, constantly turning his head to look around; all he saw was snow.

"There are doctors! Baku! This place was once known as a medical superpower, but I wonder if I'll meet any interesting people!"

Mu Chong looked up at a huge cylindrical mountain on Drum Island. He remembered that an old woman and a reindeer that had eaten the Human-Human Fruit lived there.

"Wow! That's so strange. It snows all year round. How do the people here survive?"

Slad raised his hand to feel the surrounding snow, then looked up at the clouds in the sky, a puzzled expression on his face.

Click!

"Hahaha! You've really never seen anything like this before, Slard! You don't even know this? I'm starting to doubt your seafaring abilities!"

Enel, munching on an apple while admiring the surrounding snow, couldn't resist teasing Slade after hearing his words.

"Tch! You, living on a floating island, have you ever seen such heavy snow? You're just ignorant! Boatman!"

"Meow!!!"

Just as Slard was refuting Enel, the white cat Mumu next to him suddenly meowed, the sound full of warning.

"Hmm? Hahaha! It's okay, Mumu, it's just a rabbit, albeit a rather big one!"

Upon hearing the white cat Mumu's meow, Mu Chong immediately reached out and stroked its large head, then looked at a large white ball not far away.

Labang, an animal unique to Drum Island, has the appearance of a rabbit but the body of a bear.

Actually, Mu Chong and his group had already spotted the Laban when it appeared. For those with Observation Haki, its hiding was useless; they simply ignored it.

But the Labang leader didn't care about any of that. His territory had been invaded by strangers, and he had to flex his muscles.

"Hey, hey, hey, really? That guy wouldn't be stupid enough to charge over there, would he? Is any of you going to lay a hand on a rabbit?"

Slard stared in surprise at the large rabbit charging towards him. "This guy's really fierce! Who can you beat out of this bunch of people? And he dares to charge at me?"

"Meow!!!"

Just as Slard finished speaking, the white cat Mumu, who had been on high alert, rushed out. It was incredibly fast, and Mumu's flowing white fur was quite beautiful as it ran.

"Captain! Is Mumu okay?"

Seeing the white cat Mumu rush out, Slade quickly stepped forward and asked...

"Hahaha! Don't worry, Slard! While you guys were training, this guy wasn't idle at all. To be precise, it spent more time undergoing gravity training than all of you combined!"

Mu Chong watched Mu Mu running with a smile on his face, his eyes revealing undisguised confidence.

Just as Mu Chong had predicted, the white cat Mu Mu gained the upper hand after only a few rounds of fighting with Laban.

boom!

With a final, stylish pounce, White Cat Mumu successfully pinned Laban down in a snowdrift, then looked down at him with unmistakable kingly authority.

"Oh my? Is this the same white cat I know, the one that lies on the deck sunbathing all day? Wow!"

When Slade saw the white cat Mumu win, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Tch! Slad...wait, what? Hahahaha! This is incredible, there are quite a lot of these!"

Enel, who was about to make a joke, sensed dozens of Laban appearing around him using his Observation Haki, and then slowly said...

"Meow!!!"

"Mumu! Come back! There's no need to waste time with these guys!"

Seeing that the white cat Mumu still wanted to fight, Mu Chong immediately spoke up to stop it, then walked forward on his own, with everyone following suit, completely disregarding the large number of Labang members.

Feeling ignored, the dozens of Labang suddenly turned red, their ferocity erupting, and they charged at Mu Chong and his group almost simultaneously.

"court death!"

"Baku! I'm coming!"

hum!

Seeing Laban charging towards him, Baku tried to rush out, but Slad held him back. However, just as Slad was about to unleash his power, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from behind him, and then... nothing more.

"Hahaha!! What a failure, Slade!"

"Hehehe! What a pity, Slade!"

“Slard! It’s not my fault, I gave it to you, but who could have imagined…”

"captain……"

"Hahaha! Relax! Relax! Eat more Slard later! I'll give you a piece of meat if necessary!"

Seeing Slad's resentful face, Mu Chong laughed mercilessly. The oppressive aura he had just unleashed was his Conqueror's Haki, which had instantly forced many of the Labans back.

As a result, Slade, who failed to pull off a successful maneuver, was mercilessly mocked by everyone.

"Hmph! So what if you have Conqueror's Haki! Just you wait! One day I'll have it too!"

Stubborn Slad threw down a sentence and strode away angrily.

"Hahaha! You're just like a little kid, Slad!"

"Hehehe! That's right..."

Amidst the cheerful conversation, a village enveloped in snow finally came into view. Seeing the buildings emitting smoke, the group decisively quickened their pace.

"Oh my! Today I'm going to eat my fill until I'm stuffed!"

Slad shouted loudly towards the village, looking quite excited.

"Huh? Have I never fed you enough, Brother Slade?"

Just then, Elsa's voice came from the side, her tone icy cold.

"Huh??? No, no, no, no! Let me explain, Elsa... it's not what you think..."

"Hahaha! What a failure, Slade!"

"That's it!"

"It's really not what you think..."

At this moment, Slad was left alone, bewildered in the wind.
