Chapter 419: That Devil Fruit?
Roar!
In the New World's Wano Country, a deafening dragon roar echoed throughout Onigashima. Accompanied by lightning and thunder, a colossal azure dragon, thousands of meters long, pierced the sky and headed towards the sea.
"Quinn! This time, I'm leaving with the boss. I'm entrusting the affairs of Wano Country to you. Make sure nothing uncontrollable happens during this time!"
On Ghost Island, Jhin solemnly instructed Quinn, who stood beside him, his body already itching with anticipation.
"Ha! Don't worry, Jhin! With me here, no one will dare to cause trouble! It's just a pity I can't go out for a stroll with the boss!"
Quinn watched the azure dragon gradually disappear into the horizon, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
boom!
After receiving Quinn's reply, Jhin didn't linger. He suddenly exerted force with his legs, and his body lifted off the ground.
Whoosh!
As King's body rose into the air, the Ancient Zoan Pteranodon Fruit power activated. Instantly, a gigantic black pteranodon appeared out of nowhere, its massive wings flapping before vanishing into the sky in the blink of an eye.
"Tch! He's just a rookie pirate, why make such a fuss? Boss even brought that guy King along..."
Quinn stared at the sky and muttered to himself, his expression quite intriguing.
"Ha! Speaking of which, that guy named Mu Chong was actually able to fight Shanks to a draw? Did Shanks underestimate him? Or has his strength declined?"
Quinn withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and dismissed thoughts irrelevant to him. He swaggered towards the interior of Onigashima. With the boss and King gone, he now held the greatest power in Wano Country. The smile on Quinn's face grew even wider.
In the waters of Whole Cake Island in the New World, a pirate ship flying the flag of Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, is slowly sailing away from Whole Cake Island, heading straight out to sea.
Two tall figures stood at the bow of the pirate ship, coldly gazing at the sea ahead.
"Hmph! That damned hero, what a troublemaker! He's already in the New World, and instead of visiting Mother in Tavern, he went to challenge Shanks? Now I have to make another trip to find him!"
Charlotte Owen stood behind Charlotte Katakuri, arms crossed, his face contorted with anger. Ever since leaving Whole Cake Island, he had been blaming Mu Chong.
"Hehehe! Alright! Owen! This time, Mom asked us to contact him not just to invite him to the tea party at the World Trade Center, but probably for something else..."
Katakuri listened to Owen's complaints, smiled helplessly, gazed at the sea ahead, and slowly began to speak.
"Hmm? Something else?"
Owen paused slightly upon hearing this. Before setting off, he hadn't received any further instructions from Charlotte Linlin, only that the chivalrous Mu Chong be brought to the Land of Treasures at all costs.
"Hmm! Mom didn't say what it was about! But this time, Mom's order came out suddenly after receiving a Den Den Mushi..."
Katakuri's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he recalled Charlotte Linlin's expression as she spoke to him before leaving. His expression grew increasingly solemn.
"……Yeah?"
Owen, upon hearing Katakuri's words, initially wanted to ask further, but when he sensed a faint aura emanating from ahead, he decisively chose to remain silent.
call!
The sea breeze billowed the sails, propelling the pirate ship swiftly across the ocean; silence fell upon the deck.
Guaou! Guaou!
The next morning, accompanied by several startled seagulls taking flight, an island slowly descended from the sky onto the sea, the churning waters constantly crashing against a nearby island.
"Captain! We've arrived!"
At the edge of the island where they had just landed, Enel, dressed in a white robe, pointed to the island ahead and spoke to Mu Chong, who was standing diagonally in front of him.
"Hahahaha! Didac, you lost! I told you Enel would bring the captain and the others, and you were right!"
"Get away from me! Barto! I never said I was betting with you..."
"Hmph! You two, that's enough! Aren't you going to go check on the captain?"
……
As soon as Enel finished speaking, several cheerful voices came from the island ahead, followed by several figures rapidly approaching.
"Hehehe! They found us so quickly? Looks like they haven't been slacking off in training lately!"
As Mu Chong saw the approaching figures, a broad smile spread across his face. He was overjoyed to see everyone, but the words that broke the mood were uttered by him.
"Tch! Everyone worried about you for nothing!"
Sure enough, no sooner had Mu Chong finished speaking than Caroline's voice rang out from the side.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Upon hearing this, Mu Chong laughed loudly, then flew directly towards the figures in front of him.
Enel and the others didn't linger either, following Mu Chong's footsteps towards the island ahead.
Before long, at the foot of a low hill on the eastern side of the island, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, the group arrived at a flat area at the foot of the hill.
crackling sounds...
Everyone sat around the campfire, all eyes fixed on Mu Chong, as Belinda carefully examined his injuries.
"Wow! The injuries on the ship are healing so quickly! They seem to be fine now!"
Belinda stared in astonishment at Mu Chong's body; she was shocked by the speed at which her captain was recovering.
"Hehehe! That means my injury was minor. Since I'm alright now, let's remove these bandages!"
Mu Chong smiled upon hearing Belinda's words and pointed to the bandages Caroline had applied to his body.
"Huh? What's wrong? Does the captain think my bandage doesn't look good?"
No sooner had Mu Chong finished speaking than Caroline, who was eating nearby, cast a disapproving glance at him.
"Hahaha...no, no! It's just that this constant pestering is affecting my daily training..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chong quickly waved his hand, using laughter to cover his embarrassment. Everyone else smiled as they watched the two joking around.
"Captain! You really defeated Shanks, one of the Four Emperors? That's incredible!"
Meanwhile, Bartolomeo, still staring intently at Mu Chong with shining eyes, felt his admiration for Mu Chong automatically rise to the level of having defeated Shanks when he heard that Mu Chong had emerged unscathed from his battle with Shanks.
"Hmm? Hehehe! Did I win? Shanks' mastery of Haki is very high. It won't be easy to truly defeat him. However, after this battle, I've learned a lot. Next time, it might be different!"
Mu Chong gazed at the flickering campfire before him, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes gleaming with confidence as he spoke.
Through this battle, Mu Chong experienced the power of Shanks' three types of Haki, and the new heights of Conqueror's Haki in a direct confrontation. Before arriving on this island, Mu Chong had already fully grasped their power; all that remained was to train and intensify his abilities.
Moreover, in this battle, Mu Chong not only improved his three types of Haki, but also his understanding of the Power-Power Fruit, from external to internal, from controlling all things to strengthening himself...
"Hey! Belinda! Enel said you're keeping that Devil Fruit?"
While everyone was happy about this, Mu Chong looked up at Belinda and slowly asked...
"Huh? A Devil Fruit? Yes! We got the Devil Fruit that the captain specifically asked us to get!"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's question, Belinda immediately got up and walked towards a small cave nearby.
"Captain! We didn't find that guy named Caesar Cullen when we arrived at the island. We only saw a lot of children, but those children were really big, like giants!"
As Belinda got up to leave, Didak looked up at Mu Chong and said...
