One Piece: Power-Power Fruit

Chapter 5 Please enlighten me, Uncle.

Chapter Five: Please enlighten me, Uncle.

Three days later, in the mountain stronghold halfway up the mountain behind the village

After three days of rest and with Yi Xiao's tireless and plentiful feeding, Mu Chong, who was originally seriously injured, has recovered to the point where his daily activities are no longer affected.

Aside from the bandages still on his body, he appears to have largely recovered.

Standing in the courtyard of the mountain stronghold, feeling the surge of power within his body, Mu Chong couldn't hide his joy.

Is this what they call turning misfortune into blessing? What, does surviving a great calamity mean good fortune is sure to follow? From being seriously injured and on the verge of death, to being completely healed in just three days, is it because of the special nutritional system of this world or because of my own regenerative abilities?

"Hey, that's not important. What's important is that I'm incredibly strong right now, hahaha..."

Mu Chong became happier and happier as he thought about it, and couldn't stop laughing out loud.

"Meow……"

Not far away, a white cat watched the crazed Mu Chong curiously from behind a stone pillar.

"Hahaha... Young Master Mu has just recovered from a serious illness, and I can feel his joy. But it seems that the speed at which Young Master Mu is recovering from his injuries is quite astonishing..."

Yixiao sat on the stone stool, his hands resting on a wooden stick, a kind smile on his face.

On the first day after Mu Chong was carried back to the mountain stronghold, his injuries had stabilized. By the second day, the large and small wounds on his body began to scab over. By sunset on the third day, which is now, the kid was already laughing heartily in the courtyard. His recovery was remarkably fast.

"Uncle Yixiao, what about the bandits in this mountain stronghold? Did you take care of them?"

Having vented his anger, Mu Chong reverted to his usual roguish self.

Now, having washed away the blood and grime and changed into clean clothes, a fresh and clean-looking young man appeared. He was slightly thin, with slender arms and legs, but there was no trace of malnutrition anymore, all thanks to Yixiao's feeding.

"Hmm? It's not really a cleanup. Three days ago, after learning that Brother Mu had been seriously injured by the bandits from the mountain stronghold, I came here to seek justice for him. I killed the ringleader and took his head. As for the others, I merely gave them a warning and then ignored them. As for why they're now deserted, I have no idea..."

He smiled, his white eyes scanning the entire mountain stronghold, and replied seriously.

"Oh? Hehe, Uncle Yixiao avenged me! Hohoho, thank you, thank you..."

Mu Chong felt a warmth in his heart, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yi Xiao, and then sat down on the stone stool next to him.

"Brother Mu isn't angry?"

Yi Xiao turned his head and "looked" at Mu Chong, who had sat down, and asked...

"Huh? Why are you angry?"

Mu Chong answered while unwrapping the bandages on his body.

"Oh? Wouldn't personally killing the enemy be a better way to vent your anger? Now that this mountain stronghold is deserted, Brother Mu has nowhere to seek revenge. Don't you have any regrets?"

Yi Xiao tightened his grip on the wooden stick imperceptibly, his expression turning serious.

"Hahaha, relax, relax, Uncle Yixiao, please stop testing me. We've known each other for so long, don't you know me? I've already vented my anger when I went up the mountain that day. As for being seriously injured, it was just because I wasn't skilled enough. I'm already lucky to have escaped from Madman's clutches. Besides, now that you've killed Madman, I don't have that much hatred in my heart anymore. It doesn't matter..."

Mu Chong removed the last bandage, touched the scars on his body, and grinned at Yi Xiao as he put his clothes back on.

"Haha, Brother Mu is really something else..."

Yi Xiao's hands, which had been tightly gripping the wooden stick, completely relaxed, and the slight worry in her heart vanished instantly.

bang bang...

"The recovery is really good...hehehehe"

Mu Chong clenched his fists and punched himself twice, like a gorilla tapping its nipples, feeling the hardness of his body and quite satisfied.

"Uncle Yixiao, let's begin our training... I feel like I could take down a bull right now..."

Mu Chong suddenly stood up from the stone block and shouted with boundless enthusiasm!

"Meow……"

"Haha, Brother Mu, it's not too late to rest for another day. You can start your cultivation with me tomorrow morning..."

Yi Xiao shook his head helplessly. This kid's attitude changed too quickly. If he had been this enthusiastic two years ago, he would have graduated long ago.

"Uncle Yixiao, what can you teach me...?"

Mu Chong sat back down on the stone stool, rested his chin on his hand, and picked his nose as he asked...

In the original work, Uncle Issho's appearance is relatively late; he doesn't appear in Dressrosa until after the World Military Draft following the Marineford War.

As a user of the Gravity-Gravity Fruit, Issho is terrifyingly strong. He was hailed as a monster from his very first appearance and was considered on par with Kizaru and Green Bull at the time, eventually becoming a new generation of Marine Admiral.

"Haha... Don't aim too high, Brother Mu. A solid foundation is the key to your future growth."

Tap, tap, tap, the wooden stick struck the ground, and Yi Xiao smiled and said...

"Oh dear, didn't you already teach me the basics two years ago? Why are you still..."

Mu Chong's little finger never left his nostril.

"You still have the nerve to say you practiced the basics two years ago? If I hadn't forced you to train, you little brat wouldn't have survived that blizzard. You're so lazy and lazy..."

Mu Chong's words provoked Yi Xiao to erupt in fury; the usually composed uncle was like a tiger whose tail had been touched.

"Meow meow……"

"Oh dear, Uncle Yixiao, don't be angry, don't be angry. I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong. I was just young and ignorant back then, please forgive me. Look at me now, I've realized my mistake and I'm asking you to teach me. Don't worry, I'll train hard... Relax, relax..."

Mu Chong quickly reached out and gently patted Yi Xiao's back, including the little finger that had been picking his nose.

boom……

Suddenly, Mu Chong felt a powerful force pushing against his body. In the next moment, Yi Xiao disappeared further and further from his sight until his back slammed against the wall with a loud bang.

"Meow……"

"Cough cough... Uncle Yixiao, I've just recovered... cough cough, are you trying to murder me...?"

Covered in dust and dirt, Mu Chong wore a bitter expression, clutching his aching backside, and staggered back.

"Brother Mu, remember to wash your fingers after picking your nose..."

Yi Xiao didn't care at all whether Mu Chong was injured. He was very confident in the strength of his abilities and knew he couldn't hurt that kid.

"Hehehe... Uncle Yixiao, you know him..."

Mu Chong sat up straight again, a sly grin on his face.

Yi Xiao ignored Mu Chong, sat up straight, and spoke slowly with a solemn expression.

"Brother Mu, I am a user of the Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, the Gravity Fruit. That move just now was made using my fruit's power, but I cannot teach you that..."

He paused slightly at this point, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Mu Chong raised an eyebrow slightly. Is there anything else that can't be said?

"Brother Mu, although I cannot teach you the Devil Fruit ability, I studied swordsmanship before I gained my own. I can teach you all the swordsmanship I have learned in my life. What do you say, Brother Mu?"

Yi smiled and "looked" at Mu Chong.

Mu Chong's expression turned solemn, and he immediately stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yi Xiao, and bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

"Please enlighten me, Uncle Yixiao..."

"Hahaha, good, good..."
