Chapter 102: Slad's Speculation
"Phew! It's over! Whew! It's been so long since I've had such a satisfying battle! Hahahaha! Although I don't want to get beaten up again, I still really miss the days of training with Uncle Yixiao..."
After unleashing his final strike, Mu Chong hovered in the air with his last remaining strength, looking down at the almost completely leveled Yu Di and muttering to himself.
Under the influence of Observation Haki, Crocodile, who was lying unconscious in the deep pit, was seen by Mu Chong slowly sheathing his White Serpent sword and then relaxing his body.
"Ok?"
Somersault Cloud!
Slad, who was already standing on the ground some distance away, was stunned for a moment when he saw Mu Chong falling from the sky. Then he immediately activated his Devil Fruit power, and a white cloud the size of a bed quickly flew towards Mu Chong.
As the somersault cloud carried Mu Chong safely to the ground, Slad and his group arrived at the side. Aisha quickly knelt down to check Mu Chong's injuries.
"Meow!!!"
"Aside from the wound on his chest, the captain's injuries aren't serious. He's just exhausted and asleep right now!"
Aisha skillfully took out medical tissues from her backpack and carefully wiped Mu Chong's wounds, her face full of worry as she spoke.
"Slard, we need a professional doctor to bandage the captain's wounds!"
Baku also approached Mu Chong, his eyes flashing with anxiety, and said to Slad in a muffled voice.
"Damn it!"
Slard looked up at the rain-soaked ground around him, now completely leveled, and there wasn't a soul in sight.
Stab it!
boom!
Just when everyone was at their wits' end, a flash of lightning appeared beside Mu Chong, who was lying on the ground, and Enel, dressed in white robes, appeared next to him. Along with him, an injured woman was thrown to the ground.
"She's one of that sandman's henchmen. I found her on the outskirts of the battlefield. I asked her to lead us to a doctor!"
Enel, who had just appeared, glanced at the unconscious Mu Chong, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes, before pointing at the woman he had thrown on the ground and saying...
choke!
As soon as Enel finished speaking, a black iron rod was pointed at the woman's head.
"Hey, take us to a doctor right now, or I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Slad's eyes were bloodshot, his face filled with anxiety, and even his voice trembled slightly. Mu Chong's safety was of utmost importance to him.
He recognized the woman on the ground; she was the one who had waited for them outside the town. He remembered the captain calling her Nico Robin, but at this moment, Robin was like a stranger to Slard.
Robin glanced calmly at Slad, then turned to look at Mu Chong lying flat on the ground, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
"Okay! Follow me!"
Robin slowly stood up. After a brief weighing of the pros and cons, she chose to compromise for the time being, because the man who had just captured her could easily kill her.
Moreover, in her eyes, Mu Chong, a chivalrous hero, was also a good ally.
As Robin got up, the group quickly grabbed Mu Chong and prepared to find a doctor, but they were stopped after taking only two steps by Slad.
"Baku, go and get that guy in the pit. Remember, bring him some seastone!"
After a moment's thought, Slade pointed to the unconscious Crocodile in the distance and said to Baku.
"Ok?"
"Him? Slad, why bring him along? He's the enemy!"
Upon hearing Slard's words, everyone reacted differently. Enel raised an eyebrow, Aisha's eyes were clear, Robin looked surprised, and Baku directly asked...
Faced with everyone's doubts, Slade didn't immediately explain. Instead, he frowned and stared at Crocodile in the distance. He wasn't sure why he had such thoughts, but he felt that his captain's battle with that guy was different from usual.
"Baku, take him with you! I have a feeling the captain has other plans, otherwise he wouldn't have talked so much with that guy during the battle! Don't worry, with me here, that guy won't be a threat!"
After a moment's thought, Slad spoke, his tone unconsciously carrying an inexplicable air of authority.
"Huh? Tch!"
Enel, standing nearby, keenly noticed the aura emanating from Slade. After a slight surprise, he put on an indifferent expression.
Upon hearing Slard's words, Baku didn't hesitate any longer. He quickly ran to Crocodile's side, saw the blood-stained ground and Crocodile's gruesome state, and curled his lip in disgust.
Baku skillfully tied a piece of Seastone to Crocodile's arm with a tattered rag, then hoisted Crocodile onto his shoulder, completely disregarding Crocodile's severe injuries. "Whether he's dead or alive," he thought, "it's a miracle he can even carry you."
Then, led by Robin, the group quickly headed towards a town not far from the Rainlands.
Meanwhile, in Arubana, the capital of the Kingdom of Alabasta, inside a luxurious palace, a military commander was reporting to a very haggard-looking old man.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers have investigated and determined that the battle took place in the rainy area. The individuals involved are suspected to be Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and Mokō, known as the Hero!"
"Damn it! How's the battle going?"
"The King of Alabasta, Neferutari Cobra, asked loudly with an angry expression."
"Your Majesty, the battle is over. The town of Rainland has been razed to the ground. Those who participated in the battle have left, and the casualties among the Rainland's citizens are still being tallied!"
The army commander, his voice trembling, answered Nefertari Cobra's questions word by word. The scene left behind by the massive explosion still filled him with lingering fear.
"Sigh, one problem after another. Send people to investigate the cause of their fight immediately, find out their current location, and report any developments immediately!"
Neferutari Cobra sighed softly. The rebellion within the kingdom was still not under control, and now this had happened, leaving the elderly man heartbroken.
"Yes!"
"Wait a minute, where is Princess Vivi now?"
Just as the army commander was about to leave, Neferutari Cobra suddenly called out to him and asked...
"Uh...no...no news of Princess Vivi!"
Upon hearing Neferutari Cobra's question, the army commander's face immediately showed a hint of panic, and he replied haltingly.
"Sigh! Weiwei, I hope you're alright!"
Nefertari Cobra waved her hand, dismissing the army commander, a gentle look flashing in her eyes, and muttered to herself.
In the city of Yoba, at the location of the kingdom's rebel army, inside an ordinary building, a similar situation was unfolding during a report.
boom!
"What did you say? That group is heading towards Joba? Have you found out why? How many of them are coming?"
A man with short, dark brown hair, a scar over his left eye, wearing a long reddish-brown trench coat, orange gloves, and carrying an extremely long sword on his back, asked in surprise.
"Yes! Chief Kosha! That group headed straight for Yoba after the battle. I didn't see how many people they were, and their purpose is unclear, but judging from the wounded they were carrying, they must have come to Yoba to seek medical help!"
A soldier dressed in ordinary clothes answered Kosa's question while recalling the events.
"Damn it! Of all places to go, they had to come straight for us! Give the order to tell the army not to make any rash moves; we can't withstand that kind of force!"
Kou Sha's face was grave; the terrifying battle scene had completely extinguished any will to fight him. He immediately gave orders to his soldiers.
"Yes!"
"Wait a minute, is there...is there any news about Vivi?"
Kosa suddenly called out to the soldiers who were about to leave, and asked in a slightly hesitant tone...
"Reporting to Chief Kou Sha! There is still no news of Princess Vivi!"
The soldier paused slightly upon hearing Kosha's words, then immediately replied...
"It's alright, go down! Keep an eye on those people's movements and report back immediately if anything happens!"
Mu Chong and his group were completely unaware of these events unfolding within the Kingdom of Alabasta. At that moment, they were frantically searching for a doctor in the city of Yoba.
And in a place they never expected, a special piece of intelligence appeared on a table in a dark room.
