Chapter 202: [One Blade, Dominate the Seas]
choke!
As the white snake returned to its sheath, Mu Chong, standing on the deck, frowned and glanced around at the scene. The words of the pirate captain, Drew, echoed in his mind.
"Phew! It seems the allure of the Celestial Dragons' 10 billion Berries is far greater than I imagined! Even a pirate crew with such low strength dares to try and get a piece of the pie, hehehe! Interesting, very interesting!"
Swish!
As Mu Chong spoke, a slight smile appeared on his lips. Then, with a wave of his hand, the items piled on the deck rose into the air with him, heading towards the Freedom.
Just as Mu Chong had thought, the enormous wealth of 10 billion Berries was like a guiding light on the sea, attracting countless greedy people.
boom! boom! boom!
Around noon, just as the Liberty had passed through a thunderstorm, three pirate crews, each bearing a different flag, silently appeared directly in front of it.
Without any communication or exchange, the three pirate ships lined up on the sea. The moment the Liberty appeared, countless cannonballs were fired, carrying scorching heat as they hurtled towards the Liberty.
"Hey, hahaha! Captain! You're really popular these days! You've even managed to get pirates to team up! That's bizarre!"
At the hull of the Liberty, Slad looked on with excitement at the scene before him, pointing to the three pirate ships on the sea, and spoke to Mu Chong, who was sunbathing on the deck.
"Hahahaha! Of course! Slard! Don't you know who I am, the captain?! Hey! Enel! This time, it's all yours!"
The wooden shovel, lying on its back on the deck, didn't move. After responding to Slard, it said something to Enel, who was eating an apple beside it.
"Tch! Got it, Captain!"
Hearing Mu Chong call his name, Enel lazily stretched and replied casually.
Stab it!
Then, a pale blue flash of lightning appeared on the deck of the Liberty, and Enel's figure vanished.
boom!
The next second, countless shells exploded simultaneously in the air, and the thick smoke from the explosions completely blocked out the sunlight, causing a brief period of darkness on the entire sea surface.
"Thousands of Thunder Thunder Spear Rain!"
Beneath the shadows of the thick smoke, a voice, seemingly rising from the heavens, slowly resounded. Accompanying this chilling whisper, the sky instantly filled with raging thunder.
Click!
Rumble!
Stab it!
The entire space seemed to be struck by a natural disaster at this moment, with countless bolts of lightning converging in the air.
"Tsk tsk tsk! This idiot shipwright! It's just three pirate ships, yet he's made such a commotion!"
Slard, aboard the Liberty, looked with disdain at the thousands of enormous lightning spears gradually forming in the air, and gently shook his head.
"Captain! Look! In the sky! There, that's..."
This scene was also witnessed by the pirates on the three pirate ships. Faced with the dense array of pale blue lightning spears appearing in the sky, an aura of fear quietly spread.
"Run! Turn the boat around! Run!"
On the middle deck of the pirate ship, a man who appeared to be the captain, his brows furrowed deeply and his face grim, immediately gave the order to flee.
boom!
However, by then it was too late to escape.
Thousands of enormous lightning spears, filling the air, pressed down on the pirate ship with terrifying force.
"what!!!!"
"Help!!!"
An overwhelming sense of fear gripped the three pirate ships. The pirates on deck fled for their lives, some even jumping off the ships.
boom!
boom!
Rumble!
The next moment, a dense barrage of lightning spears engulfed the three pirate ships. The explosions caused by the ships created massive mushroom clouds that shot into the sky. At that instant, the noise on the pirate ships ceased abruptly, completely consumed by the merciless flames.
At the same time, the shockwave from the massive explosion violently propelled the seawater outwards, creating increasingly larger waves.
Stab it!
At that moment, a pale blue lightning bolt struck the deck at the bow of the Liberty, and Enel, dressed in white robes, revealed his true form.
"captain!"
Enel turned and shouted at Mu Chong, then casually pointed to the huge wave that had appeared in front of the Liberty.
"Hahaha! Got it!"
Upon hearing Enel's shout, Mu Chong naturally stood up from the deck and, as he spoke, went directly to the bow of the Liberty.
call!
The waves caused by the explosion rose to a height of over fifty meters in a short time, crashing towards the Liberty with immense force.
choke!
The white snake was drawn from its sheath. Mu Chong stood against the wind, a slight smile playing on his lips. The raging sea breeze billowed the white robes on Mu Chong's body, and behind him stood the entire crew of the Freedom.
call!
"I possess a blade! It can cleave the heavens! It can sever the seas! It can cut down all the demons and monsters of this world!"
The white snake was slowly lifted above Mu Chong's head.
hum!
"With the edge of the blade, I will break through the world's constraints! With the might of a tyrant, I will shatter heaven and earth!"
As Mu Chong spoke, countless black and red lightning bolts condensed on the blade of the White Serpent.
"One Strike, Dominate the Seas!"
Just as this terrifyingly powerful black-red energy was compressed to its critical point, accompanied by Mu Chong's icy voice, a massive black-red energy pillar was unleashed by Mu Chong's sword.
boom!
Wherever the black and red energy pillar passed, the sea surface was instantly split in two, even the waves over fifty meters high were directly broken apart, and the sea of fire from the explosion in front was directly dispersed and cleared.
Rumble!
Subsequently, under the terrifying force, the black and red energy pillar continued its momentum, shooting nearly a thousand meters across the sea before finally disappearing.
choke!
"Hahahaha! The road is open! Let's go!"
As the white snake returned to its sheath, Mu Chong, standing at the bow of the ship, spread his arms wide, looked at the huge waves parting to either side, and shouted with high spirits.
"Hahaha! That's amazing, Captain!"
Slad, standing to Mu Chong's left rear, gave Mu Chong a thumbs up.
"Tch! This is the man I, Enel, acknowledge!"
Enel, standing to Mu Chong's right rear, crossed his arms and gave Mu Chong a satisfied look.
Woohoo!!!
Amidst the cheers and laughter of the people on the deck of the Freedom, the ship safely traversed the kilometer-long sea route.
This scene was deeply etched into the sea; the Freedom, fearless, cleaved through the waves.
……
Two days later, on the morning...
In the uncharted waters of the first half of the Grand Line, Baku brought back a bundle of treasure to the Liberty. Meanwhile, on the sea behind him, a wrecked pirate ship was ablaze.
In the sea surrounding the fire, one or two pirates could occasionally be seen struggling to survive; these were the ones who had deliberately jumped into the sea to escape.
"Hahaha! Well done, Baku!"
Looking at Baku who was completely unharmed, Mu Chong decisively gave him a thumbs up.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is truly a sight to behold! Baku! Your fighting style is absolutely amazing! Hehehe! Let's make a deal! Baku! Lend me your Devil Fruit ability for a couple of days! I want to experience that kind of thrill too!"
Slard, who witnessed the entire battle in Baku, had stars in his eyes. The fighting in Baku was incredibly exhilarating, and he was quite envious.
"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about, Slade? Do you think you can just borrow Devil Fruit abilities like that?"
Slad's words instantly enraged Baku, who yelled at Slad.
"Hey hahaha! Let's talk this over! Hey!"
"Hmph! No discussion!"
In the past two days, the Freedom has been attacked by five waves of pirate crews, all after Mu Chong's 10 billion Berry bounty.
Unfortunately, with Slardar, Enel, and Baku taking turns attacking, no pirate crew managed to escape unscathed.
This has resulted in the Liberty ship now being filled with Pelés; it's truly a case of "murder and arson bring wealth," and he's practically offering himself up.
"Captain! An island has been spotted ahead! Should we land and rest?"
After dealing with the pirate crew in front of them, the Freedom set sail again. As night was about to fall, Slade's shout came from the lookout tower.
