Chapter 175: Arrest Us! (A General Has Been Acquired!)
On the west side of Steel Island, at a relatively flat point on the coast, the Liberty sat steadily in the water.
The treasure brought back by Mu Chong and his two companions brought smiles to everyone's faces on the Freedom, except for Aisha, who looked at Mu Chong with a resentful expression.
"Hahahaha! Don't look at me like that, Aisha! We didn't get any meat... but the situation is special, you know. Besides, we brought back so much treasure, which can buy a lot of meat, right?"
Mu Chong scratched the back of his head awkwardly, his eyes involuntarily glancing at Slad and Baku beside him for help, but the two pretended not to see him.
"Hmph! The captain is so unreliable! He's been busy all day and this is all he got? Is this even edible? Hmph! In that case, let's have vegetarian dinner tonight!"
Elsa muttered angrily, then turned and walked into the kitchen without looking back.
"Meow!!!"
The white cat Mumu also gave Muchong a look of displeasure, turned its cat face away, and went into the cabin. It was also angry that Muchong hadn't taken it with it that afternoon.
"Pfft! Hahahaha! Captain, you're such a loser! You look absolutely pathetic right now!"
"Hehehehehe!"
At that moment, Slad and Baku burst into laughter on the deck of the Freedom, unable to contain their teasing as they watched Mu Chong's embarrassed expression.
"Slad! Baku! Come on! As the captain, I feel it's necessary to have a battle test before dinner, otherwise it will be hard to quell the anger in my heart!"
"Ah!! No, Captain!" x2
But just as Mu Chong was about to rush forward, Enel's reaction made him stop in his tracks.
"Captain! A ship is coming!"
Enel, who had been sitting on the edge of the boat eating an apple, slowly stood up and looked at the distant sea.
"Ok?"
Mu Chong then arrived at the edge of the boat, crossed his arms in front of him, and calmly looked at the sea.
Slad and Baku also stopped laughing and stood quietly by the edge of the boat.
As night fell, the distant sea was shrouded in darkness, but the crescent moon hanging in the sky illuminated the shimmering surface, and three sailboats slowly emerged from the sea.
"Naval warships? Three of them? Why would such a force be here? Is it because of a war on this island?"
The moment the three ships were fully revealed, Slad exclaimed in amazement.
"Tch! The navy is really persistent! These three warships are probably coming for us! Slade!"
Feeling the gentle sea breeze around him, Mu Chong spoke calmly.
"Hmm? They're coming for us? Could it be because of that World Government ship? Heh heh heh! The Navy! Still obeying the World Government's orders as always!"
Thinking of this, Slad shook his head slightly, then plopped down on the edge of the boat. The sea breeze made his white robe look surprisingly dashing.
"Tch! Only three ships? I could destroy them with a wave of my hand. Who does the Navy think they are?"
As Slard finished speaking, Enel glanced disdainfully at the approaching naval warship and slowly said...
"Hahahaha! Enel! Although you can be quite annoying at times, I completely agree with what you said: if you want to capture us, you'll have to send in an admiral!"
"Full of vigor and confidence" perfectly describes Slade's current state; this confidence stems from his strength.
Mu Chong, who had been standing silently at the ship's edge, turned his head upon hearing Slad's words. A slight smile played on his lips, and a thought stirred within him. How long had it been since the Liberty had grown to its current state?
"An admiral? Hahahaha..."
"Hey! This is the Navy. Pirates ahead, surrender immediately! If you resist, we will take coercive measures against you. Please do not put up any futile resistance!"
Just as Mu Chong was speaking, the three naval warships, which were only a hundred meters away, slowly came to a stop, and a loud announcement suddenly came from the deck.
The horn blared repeatedly. At that moment, armed sailors were constantly running back and forth on the decks of the three naval warships, each one on high alert.
"Captain! They're telling us to disarm and throw down our weapons, or they'll take coercive measures against us! Should I go over and give them a heads-up?"
Hearing the shout, Slad remained calm and said to Mu Chong...
"Captain! Let me go! It's a perfect opportunity to try out the Devil Fruit I got today. I can't wait to fight!"
Baku, standing nearby, volunteered immediately. Having just eaten a Devil Fruit, every cell in his body was itching to fight.
"Ok?"
Enel raised an eyebrow upon hearing Baku's voice, scrutinizing him closely. Something had happened in the jungle today that I was unaware of.
"No! None of you are going today! I'm going to talk to them! They keep calling me a pirate, when did I become a pirate?"
boom!
Before anyone could react, Mu Chong's body soared into the air, flying rapidly towards the naval warship.
Slad and his two companions exchanged glances, shook their heads, and then kept a close eye on the movements on the other side.
"Brigadier General Mordes, look! There's someone flying over from the other side!"
On the deck of a naval warship in the middle, a sailor saw the wooden spike in the air and immediately said nervously to Modess beside him.
"Flying? A superhuman? Order: Prepare fire! Aim at aerial targets, fire!"
Modes raised an eyebrow and, seeing Mu Chong rapidly approaching, immediately gave the order.
boom!boom!boom! ...
As soon as Modes finished speaking, the central warship fired first, followed by the warships on both sides, and in an instant, a dense barrage of shells flew towards Muchong.
"Humph!"
Seeing the cannonball flying towards him, Mu Chong in mid-air raised his right hand and activated his Power-Power Fruit ability, instantly enveloping the cannonball in white ripples.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Mu Chong swiftly grabbed at the air with his five fingers, and the cannonballs in mid-air instantly exploded, thick smoke immediately filling the sky. The violent explosions pounded the seawater below, causing the waves to churn violently.
"Was it successful?"
At that moment, the same thought crossed the minds of all the naval soldiers, their eyes glued to the smoke from the mid-air explosion.
"Ok?"
"Hey! Navy! Don't draw your sword! Don't make me change my mind that I don't want to kill!"
Just as Commodore Mordes sensed something was wrong and raised his hand to draw his sword, a deep voice rang out in front of him. The terrifying aura caused Mordes to break out in a cold sweat, and his hand, which had been drawing his sword, froze in mid-air.
"what!!!"
boom!boom!boom! ...
However, the sudden appearance of the wooden ram along the naval ship startled the sailors on deck. Someone shouted, as if triggering a switch, and countless gunshots rang out.
"Ha, such mental fortitude is truly worrying, Navy!"
hum!
Mu Chong, crouching on the naval ship's railing, frowned slightly. As he spoke, Conqueror's Haki burst forth from his body, accompanied by boundless gravity, sweeping across the central warship.
boom!boom!boom! ...
In an instant, the gunfire ceased, the shouts vanished, and all the naval soldiers on board lay motionless on the deck, their eyes rolled back.
This scene left the sailors on the two adjacent warships dumbfounded, frozen in place.
"Hoo! Conqueror's Haki! Who exactly are you?"
On the central naval warship, only three naval officers were currently standing before Mu Chong: Commodore Modess and two captains. This was only under Mu Chong's deliberate control.
"Heh heh! You don't know who I am? Yet you dare to rush over and warn me? Who gave you the courage to chase my ship all the way here and still not know who I am?"
Mu Chong calmly looked at the marine speaking before him, completely ignoring the two marines on either side who were nearly exhausted.
"Hiss! A hero? You're a hero!"
Mu Chong's question made Mordes subconsciously take a step back, his eyes suddenly narrowing. The person in front of him was a pirate with a bounty of 300 million, and he was just standing in front of him like this.
"Hehehe, don't be nervous, Navy. I'm here because I don't want to start a war. Can your position contact the Navy Headquarters?"
Mu Chong maintained his calm tone, as if chatting with a friend, radiating peace.
However, the three sailors who remained awake on deck did not relax their tense bodies in the slightest.
Gudong!
"can!"
