Chapter 264: The Enraged Admiral Kizaru
Hey!
As Mu Chong finished speaking, his body slowly left the deck of the Freedom, and then, under everyone's gaze, shot into the distant night sky.
"Let's go, everyone! Proceed according to the original plan; we need to get out of here!"
After Mu Chong left the Freedom, Baku, who was usually not good with words, spoke first. As he spoke, he turned to look at Caroline, who was able to control the Freedom.
"Well! I see!"
At this moment, Caroline's expression was calm, her eyes fixed on the direction where Mu Chong had disappeared. Sensing Baku's gaze, she slowly spoke.
hum!
Caroline slowly raised her right hand, as if holding a conductor's baton, and with a wave of her hand, the Liberty began to move towards the calm zone of the South China Sea.
Under the bright moonlight, no one on the deck of the Freedom moved an inch; everyone stared in the direction where Mu Chong had disappeared.
At this moment, Mu Chong's body had already descended to a height of several hundred meters above the sea level. Then, using the power of the Power-Power Fruit, he was heading towards the Sabaody Archipelago at an extremely fast speed.
Mokō wasn't going directly to the Sabaody Archipelago; his goal was to intercept Kizaru en route. Given the World Government and Navy's track record, this personnel exchange wouldn't be completed easily, so Mokō had to catch them off guard.
Meanwhile, Slard and Enel, still hovering above Loguetown, were the biggest bargaining chips in this personnel exchange. Their role was to prevent Kizaru from easily engaging in combat with Kokuchō; otherwise, Kizaru couldn't afford the price of thousands of lives lost.
Swish!
"Hmm? That's about enough! We don't need to stray too far from the direction of Loguetown in the East Blue, otherwise, Kizaru won't get to see such a spectacular scene!"
After flying for a short while under the moonlight, Mu Chong stopped abruptly. He then glanced to his left and rear towards Rogue Town before hovering high in the sky, sitting cross-legged.
Currently, Mokō is positioned 500 meters above the sea level of the first half of the Grand Line below, and only 100 meters away from the calm zone to his left near the East China Sea. As for how far away the Gemini Caverns are, Mokō has no idea.
"Phew! Right here! With my current Observation Haki coverage, as long as Kizaru doesn't take a detour, I'll definitely be able to catch him! Hehehe! Kizaru! Don't let me down!"
Mu Chong gently drew the White Dragon sword from his waist and placed it across his lap. By the bright moonlight, he gazed deeply at the night sky before slowly closing his eyes.
hum!
The next second, Mu Chong's Observation Haki, which he had been using all along, intensified once more! It spread wildly across the surrounding night sky, instantly covering an area of tens of thousands of kilometers.
"Come on, Kizaru!"
This range of Observation Haki was the source of Mu Chong's confidence that he could capture Kizaru.
Originally, Mu Chong's Observation Haki perception range had increased to several thousand kilometers through years of meditative training.
The unwavering focus of his mind on the execution platform in Loguetown allowed Mu Chong's Observation Haki to reach a terrifying range.
That's not the most important thing. The most important thing, as Crocus said, is that Mu Chong's Observation Haki has also been enhanced. As for whether he can reach Roger's ability to hear everything, that remains to be further explored.
With a formidable enemy at hand, this was certainly not the best time to develop his Observation Haki. Mu Chong could only hover quietly in mid-air, awaiting Kizaru's arrival.
call!
The sea breeze was slightly cool at night, gently ruffling Mu Chong's black hair. Above him was a vast night sky filled with stars, and a huge full moon.
"Ok?"
After an unknown amount of time, Mu Chong, who had been hanging in mid-air with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and stared intently at the night sky to his left.
"Hehehe! We've been waiting for you, Kizaru!"
boom!
At that moment, Mu Chong raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips. As he spoke, his body shot forward, instantly disappearing into the night sky to his left.
Meanwhile, Kizaru, who had sped all the way from the Sabaody Archipelago, was looking at Hill Bottom, whom he had just knocked unconscious, and muttering to himself.
"Oh dear! What a hassle! You said you were awake, so why didn't you just stay put? You had to force me to take action. What if I accidentally hit you too hard and killed you? Who can I complain to then!"
Kizaru, who was already traveling with his men, had expended a lot of energy. The sudden awakening and struggle of Hill Bott provoked Kizaru to attack.
"Huh? Someone's here?"
"Hahahaha! Kizaru! Since you find that guy in your hand a nuisance, why don't you just hand him over to me now?"
Just as Kizaru was muttering to himself about the Silver Bot in his hand, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, causing him to stop in his tracks and his expression to instantly become extremely serious.
"Oh my! The chivalrous Mu Chong? This is truly beyond my expectations! You actually appear here?"
As he spoke, a glint of light flashed in Kizaru's eyes, and he subconsciously looked around. He didn't believe that Mokuchō would come to intercept him alone.
"Kizaru! You're so slow! I've been waiting for you here for ages! As agreed, hand over the people you're carrying!"
Ignoring Kizaru's doubts, Mu Chong knew he couldn't hold Kizaru for too long, otherwise it would be pointless, so he simply reached out his hand to Kizaru.
"Hehehe! This isn't part of the agreed-upon procedure, my lord! I need to see everyone in Loguetown unharmed before I can make the exchange with you!"
After Kizaru looked around, his Observation Haki didn't detect anyone else, but the more he did so, the more cautious he became.
"Hahahaha! Kizaru! Look to your right front towards Loguetown! See if you're willing to hand over my men to me right now?"
Upon hearing Kizaru's words, Mu Chong laughed loudly, then pointed in the direction of Loguetown and slowly spoke to Kizaru.
Click!
As Mu Chong spoke, he pulled a gray Den Den Mushi from his pocket, gently pressed the switch, and a pair of bright eyes lit up, staring directly at Kizaru.
"Huh? Hiss! What's that?"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Kizaru instinctively looked towards Loguetown, and what he saw immediately made this seasoned Marine Admiral gasp in astonishment.
This was because above Roguetown, which spanned the entire Calm Belt, hung an enormous, terrifying orb of light, resembling a full moon, whose radiance illuminated the night sky.
This scene instantly made Kizaru's expression extremely awkward. If they could see such a large size at this distance, how much bigger would it be at close range?
"gallant!"
Suddenly, an extremely heavy voice came from Kizaru's mouth. At this moment, Kizaru's face no longer had its usual lazy expression.
"Heh heh heh! Kizaru! This isn't the time to lecture me! Now, do you choose to hand the man over to me and let things remain peaceful, or do you choose to bear this infamy?"
Mu Chong could sense Kizaru's anger at this moment, which was exactly the result he wanted. As for whether he was worried that Kizaru would directly kill someone, Mu Chong never considered that.
At this moment, Mokō was absolutely certain that Admiral Kizaru could not kill him instantly.
Therefore, if he were to fight the other side, the giant orb of light above Loguetown would fall, and Kizaru would be unable to bear such a terrifying burden.
"Hero! You're forcing me! Aren't you afraid I'll kill you right now?"
call!
As Kizaru spoke, the surrounding air instantly became turbulent, and a suffocating sense of oppression swept towards Mu Chong.
"Hahahaha! Then let's try it! Kizaru! I'm not someone you can just bully now! Come on! Let's see if you kill me first, or if I make you lose face on this sea first?"
