Chapter 404: Unexpected News

Swish!

"captain!"

"The captain's back! Quickly, prepare the food!"

When Mu Chong and his two companions landed on the deck of the Liberty, Moriarty and the others who had been waiting on the deck immediately got to work, and in no time the deck was piled high with food.

Meanwhile, under Mu Chong's control, the Liberty slowly sailed away from the coast of Banaro Island and headed towards the vast sea.

The three, having just finished their battle, didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the deck to eat and replenish their energy. Moriarty and the mermaid Laura also sat nearby, asking the white cat Mumu and Robin about the battle.

"Brother! Where do we go next?"

After a long while, when Mu Chong had almost finished eating, the white cat Mu Mu asked him...

"Hmm? Where to? Have you heard of the Thriller Bark on the Grand Line?"

Upon hearing the question from the white cat Mumu, Mu Chong paused slightly, his drink momentarily, then a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes as he addressed the crowd.

"Hmm? A three-masted sailing ship? What's that?"

The white cat Mumu and the mermaid Laura, both novices at sea, looked completely bewildered when they heard the name.

"Hiss! Captain! Are you talking about the three-masted sailing ship located in the Devil's Triangle?"

At this moment, Moriarty suddenly gasped, then said with a slightly flustered expression.

"Ok?"

"Meow? Moriarty! You know this ship? Tell me about it!"

Upon hearing Moriarty's words, Mu Chong turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow slightly. But before he could speak, the curious white cat Mu Mu asked the question first.

"Hehehe! I'm not entirely sure what this ship looks like, but I've heard legends about the Devil's Triangle!"

Moriarty first scratched the back of his head, looking at the white cat Mumu with embarrassment, and then said again.

"It is said that the Devil's Triangle is always shrouded in thick black fog. Many pirate ships or merchant ships have entered there and never come out again. It is known as the land of shipwrecks and is extremely terrifying!"

Moriarty racked his brains for the information he knew, and from the changes in his expression as he spoke, it was clear he was afraid of the Devil's Triangle.

"Meow? A black mist is shrouding everything? Could it be that guy on the island from earlier who did it?"

Upon hearing Moriarty mention the black mist, the white cat Mumu instinctively thought of the magical abilities of God on Banaro Island.

"No! Mumu!"

At this moment, Nicole Robin, who was sitting next to Mu Chong, gently put down her drink and spoke.

"Meow?"

Upon hearing Robin's answer, the white cat Mumu looked over, its eyes gleaming with intense curiosity.

"Hehehe! Let me tell you about Robin!"

Mu Chong's lips curled up slightly. Sometimes, having a historian like this beside you meant you didn't have to say a word. It was really nice.

Nico Robin raised her beautiful eyes to look at Mu Chong, a smile appearing on her face, and then began to introduce the three-masted sailing ship to everyone.

"Thriller is the pirate ship of Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. It is said to be the largest pirate ship in the world. Its size is enormous, like an island standing in the Devil's Triangle!"

"The Devil's Triangle is the only way to reach the New World from the Grand Line. It is said that hundreds of pirate ships disappear in the Devil's Triangle every year, swallowed up by the black mist that has shrouded this area for many years!"

Nico Robin paused here, then turned to look at Mu Chong beside her, a smile flashing in her beautiful eyes, before falling silent.

"Hmm! Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is our destination. It just so happens to be on our way to the Sabaody Archipelago. Let's go and meet this guy who's been terrorizing the Devil's Triangle!"

Mu Chong and Robin exchanged a smile, then calmly explained the next steps.

"Meow! Great! We can fight again! Leave that Moria guy to me! I'll beat him to a pulp!"

Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, the white cat Mu Mu became excited and brandished its cat fists, ready to fight.

"Go for it, boss! I'll be right behind you, protecting you and making sure you're safe!"

Moriarty, seeing his excited boss, jumped up from the deck, his expression even more excited than that of the white cat Mumu.

"Meow hahaha! Not bad! I didn't misjudge you! Moriarty!"

The white cat Mumu looked up at Moriarty, who had stood up, and nodded with satisfaction, as if he were a kindred spirit.

This scene was witnessed by Mu Chong, Robin, and the mermaid Lola. The latter two covered their mouths and chuckled, while Mu Chong simply shook his head helplessly.

Ever since the white cat Mumu awakened the Mink Tribe bloodline within him, his personality has been changing. Perhaps he's adapted to human ways of expressing himself, or perhaps it's the effect of the bloodline factor given to him by Grandpa Jiaxi. In any case, the white cat Mumu is now curious about everything.

"Hehehe! Once you get there, do whatever you want, just remember not to get yourself into trouble!"

Mu Chong took a sip of his drink, his eyes sweeping across everyone's faces, and then he said...

"Gecko Moria is a user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit. He can control everyone's shadow, and those who lose their shadow will disappear when exposed to the sun!"

"hiss!"

"One of Moria's subordinates is a user who ate the Ghost-Ghost Fruit. She can control all kinds of ghosts, and people who are touched by these ghosts will experience all sorts of negative emotions, thus losing their fighting ability!"

"Oh?"

"The last one you need to be careful of is also one of Moria's subordinates. He's a user of the Clear-Clear Fruit. This Devil Fruit grants the user the ability to become invisible to the naked eye. However, your Observation Haki should be able to sense his location!"

"Uh-huh!"

With each sentence Mu Chong spoke, the people in front of him simultaneously displayed a particular emotion. This sudden and strange tacit understanding left Mu Chong both amused and exasperated.

The atmosphere on deck also became lively thanks to this tacit understanding.

call!

After a long while, a cool sea breeze blew across the deck of the Liberty, the evening sea began to calm, and the Liberty's hull became steady.

After having a good meal and drinks on the deck, Mu Chong and his friends chatted and enjoyed the sunset over the sea.

Bubbles! Bubbles!

However, at that moment, a clear Den Den Mushi (snail phone) ringtone entered everyone's ears.

"Ok?"

Mu Chong raised an eyebrow, took out a white Den Den Mushi from his pocket, and answered the call.

"Moshi! Moshi! Captain! I am Hill Bot!"

As soon as the Den Den Mushi connected, Hill Bot's familiar voice came through, and the Den Den Mushi even presented his face in a convincing manner.

"Hey! How's everything, Hill..."

"Meow! Hill, it's Mumu!"

Upon hearing Hill Bot's voice, Mu Chong smiled, but before he could finish speaking, the white cat Mu Mu's large head poked its head over.

Snapped!

Mu Chong simply raised his hand and slapped it across the face. The white cat, Mu Mu, winced in pain and sat back down, looking at Mu Chong with a resentful expression.

"Hehehe! Hmm! Captain, there's some news I think you'll be interested in, so I called right away!"

Hill Bot was unaware of what had happened; he was only slightly pleased to hear Mumu's voice, but after a brief laugh, his expression turned serious.

"Huh? What news?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Chong's eyes narrowed slightly. The fact that Hill Bott could elicit such an expression piqued Mu Chong's interest.

"The Straw Hat crew, who are of particular interest to the captain, have wreaked havoc on Enies Lobby, which is flying the World Government's flag!"
