Chapter 359: The Current Situation in Magic Valley Town

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

boom!

A lively banquet was held in the tavern of Mogu Town. Everyone on board the Freedom, along with all the familiar faces in Mogu Town, filled the tavern to capacity, yet no one seemed unhappy. They were all raising their glasses and drinking heartily.

Mu Chong also let his emotions run wild. After wandering for so long, returning to Mogu Town felt like returning home.

In fact, for Mu Chong, apart from the deserted island where he grew up, Mogu Town on Jaya Island was his second home. At least it was here that he made a name for himself and where his true adventures began.

"Hero! I toast you!"

"Hero! Let's have a drink together!"

"Hero! Are you raising fish?"

As the drinks wore off, some of the more tipsy guys started to let loose, each grabbing their glass and heading over to clink glasses with Mu Chong, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Immersed in this joy, Mu Chong also accepted all drinks offered to him, downing his wine in one gulp no matter who came to drink with him, his main goal being a hearty and enjoyable experience.

Mu Chong's actions further enhanced everyone's positive impression of him, leading to even more fervent praise for him.

The banquet continued until nightfall. Except for Mu Chong's group, who remained the same, the other groups drank in waves. Those who drank too much were carried out, and then another group would come in and continue drinking.

Only after Mu Chong announced the end of the banquet did the group of drunkards stagger out of the tavern, while Mu Chong and the others went to Bellamy's place to rest.

All the crew members on the Freedom, including Mu Chong, had drunk quite a bit. When they arrived at their quarters, they tidied up briefly and then went to sleep.

The night was quiet and peaceful. While Mu Chong and his group drifted off to sleep, the town of Mogu was buzzing with discussion about the banquet from the daytime, the conversation growing increasingly heated.

next morning

In the reception hall of Bellamy's residence, everyone of note was present, except for Slad, who was not sitting there.

Early in the morning, Mu Chong went directly to Slade and instructed him to return to Skypiea alone. His reasons were threefold: first, to allow Slade to reunite with Grandpa Skedek; second, to check if the Straw Hat crew was still on Skypiea; and finally, to bring down any Devil Fruit users from the island.

Upon hearing Mu Chong's idea, Slad didn't hesitate and immediately flew into the sky. With his Cloud-Cloud Fruit ability, flying to the Sky Island was a piece of cake.

At this moment, everyone was gathered in the reception hall to report to Mu Chong on the recent developments in Magic Valley Town on Jaya Island, as well as the next goals.

The intelligence organization in Mogu Town was established by Hill Bot using the resources of the Sky Island. Later, when he left, he handed it over to Montblanc Kuriket, who quickly expanded it based on the original salvage team.

Bellamy the Hyena serves as an armed force in Mogu Town, recruiting followers from the crowds at the dueling arena on Jaya Island. Combined with his existing followers, this force is now quite formidable.

Sitting at the head of the reception table, Mu Chong listened to Montblanc Coulicate and Bellamy's narration with a smile that never faded. Mu Chong was genuinely happy, after all, he had only given a greeting and hadn't participated in the whole thing.

"Hehehe! You two have worked hard these past few days! I'm very happy to see such great results! Jaya Island is a very special place. If you two have any difficulties, please feel free to bring them up, and I will help you solve them!"

After listening to their words, Mu Chong nodded with satisfaction, then acknowledged their efforts and promised to provide them with his full assistance.

"Hahaha! Hero! I don't need any help here! That guy Hill arranged everything before he left, and I'm just carrying out his plan now!"

"Also, Hill has already contacted me, and he will let me know as soon as anything happens, so I don't need anything here!"

Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Montblanc Coolidge paused for a moment before looking up and speaking with a decisive and confident tone.

"Oh? In that case! I'm relieved!"

A glint of light flashed in Mu Chong's eyes. Even he hadn't expected Hill Bot to have arranged everything so perfectly. Then, Mu Chong looked at Bellamy.

"Hehehe! Not me either! Magic Valley Town has always been like this. It's a chaotic place by nature and doesn't need any force to maintain it. Only by keeping it as it is can we keep attracting pirates!"

"My men are lurking in every corner of Mogu Town. They can hear all sorts of news from the many pirates who come and go, and while gathering intelligence, they can also keep an eye on them!"

Bellamy took a sip of tea and sat down to chat. Although he still had that roguish air about him, the presence he exuded at that moment gave him the air of someone in a superior position.

"Furthermore! Lorian's training is very effective. The strength of these subordinates is improving rapidly. Although none of them have mastered the so-called Six Powers of the Navy yet, they are much stronger than before!"

As Bellamy finished speaking, he glanced at Lorient, who sat silently beside him, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

This Lorian is the same Vice Admiral Lorian that Mu Chong defeated when he intercepted the Celestial Dragons' golden ship; he's also the man in the gray coat at the entrance of Mogu Town yesterday.

After being persuaded by Mu Chong, this guy ultimately chose life over death, which is why Mu Chong assigned him to Mogu Town to train Bellamy's men.

When everyone in the reception room heard the name Lorian, a hint of surprise flashed across their faces; some were surprised by his seriousness, others by his identity.

"Hehehe! No need to pay too much attention to my existence! I will fulfill the promise I made to you, but Bellamy's men really don't have any good talents! They haven't mastered even one of the Six Styles of the Navy after studying for so long!"

Sitting at the very edge, Lorion maintained a calm and indifferent expression despite the attention he received, seemingly oblivious to everyone around him. He spoke detachedly, though he did manage to tease Bellamy at the end.

"Hey! You bastard! What's wrong with my brothers? They might be a bit slow, but they train really hard! Why don't you just say it's because you didn't teach them in enough detail?"

When Bellamy heard Lorient talking about his brother crickets, he was immediately displeased and retorted, almost slamming his fist on the table.

"cut!"

When Lorion saw Bellamy's expression, he simply turned his face away, clearly indicating that he couldn't be bothered with him.

"Hahaha! Seeing you all like this puts my mind at ease! It seems I didn't make the wrong choice back then, Lorian!"

Mu Chong burst out laughing as he watched the two bickering. Perhaps only close friends would tease and tease each other like that.

"By the way! Lorian! We'll be staying here for a day! During this day, you'll teach them the Six Powers of the Navy in detail. Whether they can master them or not, just understanding the principles is enough!"

Mu Chong, who had just finished speaking, spoke again, pointing to the crew of the Freedom and addressing Lorian.

"Hmm? Okay! No problem!"
