Chapter 363: [Shalan]
Boom!
When Mu Chong returned to the Freedom, the crew members who were already prepared on deck looked at him with puzzled expressions.
"Huh? What's wrong with you guys? Why are you looking at me like that? Were you stunned by how handsome I was just now? Hahaha!"
Seeing the expressions on his underlings' faces, Mu Chong paused slightly before casually speaking.
"Uh! Captain! You've destroyed that pirate ship like that, how are we supposed to go up and search for treasure?"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, the underlings froze on the spot. When had their captain become so humorous? Nevertheless, they pointed to the wrecked pirate ship in the distance and said...
"Huh? Hahahaha! I accidentally hit a little too hard just now! I completely forgot about it! It's alright! I won't go then! Let's just do what we need to do!"
Mu Chong followed his underlings' gestures and glanced again at the pirate ship that was slowly sinking into the sea. An embarrassed look appeared on his face, and he waved his hand.
After the group of henchmen left with helpless expressions, only Mu Chong remained on the deck, while the Freedom continued its journey forward, the destroyed pirate ship in the distance growing ever more distant.
Guaou! Guaou!
Around noon, after a morning of gravity training, everyone on board the Freedom began to eat. The deck was piled high with food, and everyone gathered around to raise their glasses and drink.
After lunch, everyone left to attend to their own business, while others returned to their cabins to rest and recharge for the afternoon's training.
At this moment, only a few idle people remained on the deck who didn't want to rest, including Sha Crocodile and Daz Bones.
"Hey! Old Sha! How did you light that cigar in your mouth?"
Just as everyone was leisurely sunbathing on the deck of the Liberty, Mu Chong suddenly asked S. Crocodile a question.
This question left everyone present completely bewildered. How to light a cigar? Isn't it just a matter of having a flame? Is there some other procedure involved?
Upon hearing Mu Chong's question, everyone turned to Crocodile beside him, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation for his answer.
"Ok?"
At this moment, Crocodile was equally confused. He looked up at Mu Chong, then down at the cigar between his fingers, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer Mu Chong's question.
"Hahahaha! I'm just curious! Because when you light a cigar, you usually hold the flame in one hand and use the other to shield it from the wind, so I was wondering how you use that iron hook to shield it from the wind..."
boom!
Seeing the puzzled look on Crocodile's face, Mu Chong burst into laughter and then explained why he had asked the question.
But just as Mu Chong finished speaking, Shacrocodile leaped up from the deck and swung his golden hook at Mu Chong.
"Hero Mu Chong! Prepare to die! Today I will surely kill you!"
Enraged, Crocodile glared at Mu Chong, who was still sitting on the deck, and shouted as he reached him.
boom!
boom!
The golden hook slammed down without hesitation, but when it was still half a meter away from Mu Chong's head, it seemed to have hit a wall, making a dull thud. But that wasn't the end of it.
"What?!"
boom!
Just as Crocodile was wondering what was going on, a sudden, powerful rebound force came from the golden hook on his left hand. This force was surprisingly strong, and it threw Crocodile off balance. Because Crocodile was wearing Seastone straps, he landed hard on the deck.
"This……"
Daz Bonis, sitting to the side, watched all this in astonishment. Mu Chong was sitting there without moving, so why was it the boss who flew out?
"Hehehe! Don't be angry, Old Sha! I was just curious! Calm down! Hahaha!"
Mu Chong raised his hand to rub his nose, looking at Crocodile, who had already stood up on the deck ahead and was still fuming as he walked towards him. Mu Chong immediately began to explain and admit his mistake, but the sincerity of his apology was questionable.
"Hmph! How boring! Don't joke around with me anymore, or I might really kill you!"
When Crocodile was about to make a move, upon hearing Mu Chong's explanation, he simply snorted and sat back down, unsure whether to smoke his cigar or not.
"Pfft! Hahahaha..."
Only after Crocodile sat back down like a wronged woman did laughter erupt from the crowd, and the deck was filled with questions.
"Hey! Old Sha! We want to know the captain's problem too! So what's the reason?"
"Yes! Yes! We all know that the person you've fallen for is a good person, so please explain it to us!"
blah blah blah!
As a series of inquiries rang out, a crisp sound suddenly rang out, and a piece of Seastone fell from Crocodile's body.
"hiss!!!……"
"The crocodile is angry... what should I do?"
When everyone saw clearly what had fallen from the deck, the chaotic noise abruptly ceased, and they all gasped in shock at the sight of the enraged Crocodile.
"Shalan!"
The next second, a deep voice rang out from Shah Crocodile's mouth, and a small tornado appeared in his hand, instantly filling the deck of the Liberty with an extremely dry wind.
"Hey! Old Sand! This ship is the Liberty! You'll destroy it if you use that move!"
Sensing the power of the tornado, Slad, sitting next to Mu Chong, immediately shouted loudly; he certainly didn't want to be without a boat!
"Team... Captain..."
Even Daz Bones, standing next to Crocodile, tensed up at this moment. Ever since Munakata appointed Crocodile as captain of the Liberty's Third Division, Daz Bones had changed how he addressed him.
"Hehehe..."
Meanwhile, Mu Chong, sitting directly in front of Crocodile, simply smiled and showed no sign of nervousness.
Whew! Whew...
Meanwhile, the tornado in Crocodile's hand grew larger and larger, and those sitting around could feel the intense heat it brought.
Just as the atmosphere on the deck of the Liberty was becoming increasingly tense, Crocodile moved. He activated the Sand-Sand Fruit's elemental transformation with his lower body, then soared into the air, instantly appearing directly above the Liberty in mid-air.
boom!
The next second, Crocodile flung away the tornado that was about to explode in his right hand.
"what?"
"What?!"
Amidst several questioning voices, everyone on the deck of the Freedom rose to their feet, their eyes following the direction from which the tornado had originated.
A massive pirate ship suddenly appeared diagonally in front of the Liberty. This pirate ship had a huge prow shaped like a fox's head. The entire ship looked enormous, and at the top of a long mast in the center of the ship hung a black flag with a white skull and two crossed bones painted on it, except that the skull's nose and beard were red.
boom!
Rumble!
After escaping Crocodile's grasp, the tornado instantly expanded and grew larger, becoming a massive, catastrophic tornado by the time it approached the pirate ship.
Splash!
Where the tornado passed, the sea instantly surged with towering waves, and streams of seawater were swept up by the tornado and enveloped the pirate ship.
hum!
Just when everyone thought the pirate ship would be destroyed, Crocodile's tornado suddenly stopped, or more precisely, its forward speed slowed down drastically.
"Huh? What's that...?"
