Chapter 37 Jora, the Art Fruit User
Chapter 37: Jorah, the User of the Art-Art Fruit
In the spring of 1520 in the Haiyuan calendar, Mu Chong returned to the unforgettable Mogu Town after half a year.
The moment he opened his arms, familiar feelings flooded back. Although he wasn't in that packed fighting arena, the cheers from the surrounding crowd made him feel as if he were back in those nights of countless explosions, the clash of flesh and blood, the thrill of life and death hanging by a thread, and the exhilaration of escaping death.
The glow of the setting sun shone on the street, casting Mu Chong's shadow long and thin, as if it were about to connect with the entire town of Mogu.
Beneath the mask, Mu Chong smiled slightly, then gently removed the mask that symbolized his identity from his face. To everyone's astonishment, Mu Chong then crushed the mask.
Now that we've chosen to set sail, there's no need to hide anything any longer. From today onward, heroes will step out from behind the scenes and onto the stage.
"The hero actually crushed his mask?"
"Is the hero finally going to show his true colors?"
"That's right, that's exactly it! The strong should appear openly and honestly before everyone. I support you, hero!!"
"Ooh ho!!!"
Mu Chong's actions reignited the passion of the entire street, making this a memorable moment for everyone who remained in Mogu Town.
bang bang bang...
Just as everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, a series of gunshots shattered it. In an instant, the entire street fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned angrily towards the source of the gunfire.
"Wow, this place is really lively! Let me take a good look and see which one of them is the true hero!"
Da da da!
At the entrance to Mogu Town, the crowd slowly parted to make way, and a plump figure appeared in the glow of the setting sun. As the sound of high heels clicking on the stone pavement drew closer, the plump figure finally revealed its true face.
"Hiss!! It's her!!"
"What is Lord Jorah doing here??"
"Hmph, what's with the swagger? If it weren't for that man backing you up..."
"Shut up! Lord Jorah is here!"
When everyone saw who it was, they all gasped in shock. The important figure they had always feared had appeared right there.
But there were always a few people in the crowd who looked at the obese woman with disdain.
"Hooray!! Who's the hero? Let me see!"
Jorah was a burly woman with striking, sharp features, wearing triangular-framed glasses, and sporting curly hair parted in the middle with different colored sides, and wearing lip gloss.
"Holy crap, it's incredible that someone can look like this. The world of One Piece is truly amazing!!"
Mu Chong's lips twitched uncontrollably as he looked at the middle-aged woman who appeared before him, a woman whose appearance somewhat deviated from his aesthetic standards.
"Hooray!! You're the hero? You're quite handsome, how about becoming my subordinate??"
Jorah's extremely distinctive glasses cast a glint of light as he scanned Mu Chong, then surprisingly nodded in satisfaction and spoke.
"Auntie, who are you?"
Mu Chong didn't recognize this woman's character in the original work, and responded with a puzzled look to her question.
"Fool! This is Lord Jorah! You should kneel down immediately upon seeing Lord Jorah..."
Upon hearing Mu Chong's response, Jorah's smiling face instantly turned cold. "Auntie? Who are you calling?"
Jorah's men behind him immediately became unhappy and shouted at Mu Chong, but Jorah interrupted them.
"Wow!! What an interesting man, buddy. Don't you think my outfit is quite artistic??"
A faint smile flickered across Jorah's gloomy face, and he actually began to sway his body in front of Mu Chong.
"hiss!!"
"Oh no, Lord Jorah is angry!!"
"What should the hero do?"
As soon as Jora finished speaking, the people around him lowered their breathing again, afraid that they would be noticed by the angry Jora.
Holding his breath and staring incredulously, Mu Chong was also afraid. He was afraid that the woman would pounce on him and hug him; that would be the end of him.
"It's so ugly!!"
Before Mu Chong could answer, a voice came from the mouth of Schidek beside him. Although it was just a sentence in an exclamatory tone, those three words ignited the entire audience.
"puff!!!"
"I'm sorry!! Hahahaha!!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
It's unclear which bystander was the first to let out a fart, but the entire street erupted in deafening laughter.
"Shut up, all of you!!!"
But the laughter that filled the street lasted only a short while before being interrupted by this piercing scream. Only then did everyone realize who they were laughing at.
"It's over!!!"
"Should we leave right now?!"
"Run!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the onlookers closest to Jorah turned and ran, but after only a few steps, they heard a chilling voice ring out.
"Hooray!! Did I say you could leave? Keep laughing!! Appreciating art should be about having fun!"
Jorah slowly turned his head to look at those who were frozen in place, startled by his voice, and spoke again.
"Don't go! Stay and admire my artwork! Oh ho ho ho!!"
"The Art of Life!!"
As Jorah's voice faded, a plume of white smoke emerged from his raised hand, enveloping the pleading man. A moment later, an exquisite mural appeared within the smoke, and the begging man vanished.
"Wow!! Look, look, how beautiful and perfect my artwork is! Don't you think it's beautiful?"
Jorah's eyes lit up as he admired his masterpiece, but the smile vanished instantly, replaced by a somber gaze that swept across the room before he coldly spoke...
"Gulp!!!"
"Great, it looks good!!"
"Lord Jorah's art is the best!!"
"Hooray!! A bunch of crude idiots, you know nothing about art!"
Jorah's grim face emitted a demonic voice, and the next moment his hands suddenly opened to the sides, rapidly releasing large amounts of transparent, bubble-like smoke from his palms, which quickly enveloped everyone around him.
"Destructive art!!"
The people around weren't stupid; the moment the smoke appeared in Jorah's hand, everyone started scattering, their faces filled with undisguised fear.
"Run!"
"This is Lord Jorah's power!! It will be turned into a work of art!"
"Help me!!"
The once bustling street fell silent in an instant. Some people ran away, but others were not so lucky. Those shrouded in smoke became exquisite works of art, floating quietly in the surrounding area.
Mu Chong looked at the smoke drifting towards him, raised his hand and waved it away. This stuff seemed to be very afraid of the wind.
"Wow, ho ho ho!! Art, art! My art is the most perfect, don't you think? Young hero, right?"
Jorah turned his gaze to Mu Chong, his eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent, as if Mu Chong were already a preordained work of art.
"Doflamingo's subordinate, the Heavenly Demon??"
"Oh?? You know me, young master?"
Mu Chong didn't answer her, because when he saw Jorah's abilities, a scene from the original story flashed through his mind: a group of people being sewn together by a dwarf. This reminded him of the woman's origins.
Jora, an underling of Doflamingo, is a member of the Donquixote Family and an assassin belonging to the Trebol Army. He is a Devil Fruit user, seemingly possessing the Paramecia-type Art-Art Fruit.
I didn't expect to encounter Doflamingo's henchmen here. They shouldn't be among the family's top executives, right?
Mu Chong frowned, pondering how to handle the current situation, but there were always kind people who would help him make the decisions.
