Chapter 377 Bounty Increases Again, Ocean in Turmoil
Chapter 377: The Bounty is Raised Again, the Sea is in Turmoil
call!
Rumble!
As Slard's voice faded, the once clear sky instantly became stormy, with lightning flashing. The pleasant weather was transformed in an instant by these two nature-based beings into a scene resembling a pile of thunderclouds.
"Hahaha! I'm really tempted by what you said, Captain! How could such a grand battlefield be without me, Old Sand? Besides, I haven't seen that man in ages!"
boom!
Following Slard and Enel, another Logia-type Devil Fruit user on the Liberty, Crocodile, suddenly surged with power as he spoke, unleashing gusts of wind like sandstorms from his body.
Whew! Whew! Whew...
Rumble!
Click!
At this moment, under the ravages of these three Logia-type Devil Fruit users, thick dark clouds filled the sky, pale blue lightning flashed continuously, and a hurricane carrying yellow sand howled incessantly, turning what should have been midday into the approaching dusk.
"Hahahaha! They're insane! Insane! A bunch of crazy lunatics! How could I miss out on such a commotion? Let me show you the art of explosion!"
Swish!
boom!
Just then, the large, fat man Didac on the deck, his eyes fixed on the commotion in the sky, became excited. Before he could finish speaking, he leaped into the air and plunged into the thick black clouds, ignoring the thunder and sandstorm, and self-destructed.
"Damn it! Didak! You old scoundrel! Are you trying to blow us all up?"
"A protective barrier!"
Swish!
Didac's self-destruction immediately provoked Bartolomeo to curse, because the shockwave from the terrifying explosion was heading straight for the Liberty.
Without any hesitation, Bartolomeo erected a massive protective barrier, instantly shielding the Liberty and preventing the entire crew from being covered in dust and dirt.
"Hehehehe! As expected of a Logia-type, you can create such a huge commotion with just a wave of your hand! However, my giant ape is not made of clay either..."
"Hey! Baku! Stop!"
Just then, even the usually composed Baku was stirred up by the atmosphere and was about to activate his Devil Fruit power to transform, but was stopped in time by Mu Chong.
"That's enough, you guys!!!"
hum!
boom!
After Mu Chong raised his hand to stop Baku, a strong red light suddenly flashed in his eyes. The next moment, an extremely powerful Conqueror's Haki burst out of his body, and black and red lightning instantly filled the entire sea area.
The tangible black and red ripples struck each and every one of the crazed individuals with a direct, targeted impact.
boom!boom!boom!boom!
As several dull thuds sounded, Slad and his companions felt as if they had been struck in the chest with a blunt object, and briefly experienced a feeling of tightness in their chests.
The next second, all the natural elements that had filled the sky and the surrounding area, as well as Bartolomeo's barrier, were instantly shattered and vanished without a trace. Even Didac, who had self-destructed in mid-air, crashed onto the deck in a spread-eagle position.
"Forehead……"
"This……"
"Tch! The captain's Conqueror's Haki has gotten stronger again..."
After recovering, the group looked at Mu Chong with surprise in their eyes. They were astonished that Mu Chong had dispelled their abilities with just his Conqueror's Haki.
"Hahaha! Training begins, everyone! You can't even withstand the captain's Conqueror's Haki, what a disgrace!"
Crocodile first gave Mu Chong a deep look, then stood up from the deck and turned to walk towards the training ground.
Provoked by Crocodile's words, the group that had been sitting together stood up and headed towards the training ground with various expressions.
In no time, only a somewhat bewildered Nico Robin remained in front of Mu Chong.
"Hey! Captain! Give us some gravity!"
Just as Mu Chong was about to speak to Nico Robin, Slade's shouts suddenly came from the direction of the training ground.
"Hehehe! It was just a small favor!"
When Mu Chong heard Slad's shout, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Faced with such a group of people training so enthusiastically, what reason did he have to refuse?
hum!
As a white ripple spread out, a layer of power instantly enveloped the entire Freedom, causing the ship to sink one meter into the sea under this force.
"This……"
Feeling the gravity emanating from her body, Nico Robin's face visibly showed surprise as she stared at Mu Chong in disbelief.
"Phew! Now I finally understand why everyone on this ship possesses such immense strength! With this training environment, coupled with your encouragement as captain and their individual enthusiasm, it's no wonder they're so powerful!"
Nico Robin slowly stood up from the deck as she spoke; the weight of gravity made her movements somewhat sluggish.
"Hehehe! Of course! To have such a reliable group of partners! As the captain, I am very happy!"
Mu Chong slightly raised his head, smiling as he looked at Nicole Robin who had stood up. While wondering what she was going to do, he smiled and said...
"Hehehe! Then I have no reason to stay here so comfortably! Don't you think so, Captain!"
Nico Robin gave Mu Chong a sweet smile as she spoke, then turned and walked towards the training ground under Mu Chong's surprised gaze. Although her movements were somewhat slow, her steps were very firm.
"Um... training here is just as good! Why do we have to go over there..."
Mu Chong watched Nico Robin leave, shrugged helplessly, and muttered to himself before vanishing from the spot and reappearing atop the Liberty ship a second later.
And so, everyone on board the Freedom resumed their usual training, each striving to become stronger. Perhaps from this moment on, they had yet another reason to grow stronger.
Guaou! Guaou!
The next morning, news spread across the sea at breakneck speed: Nico Robin, the devil's daughter, had boarded the ship of the chivalrous Mu Chong. Initially, this news wouldn't have attracted much attention, but the two bounty posters interspersed in the newspaper drew everyone's attention.
Nico Robin, the Devil's Child, with a bounty of 120 million Berries, must be captured alive.
The chivalrous Mu Chong has a bounty of 2.856 billion Berries, regardless of whether he lives or dies.
One is an Ohara survivor who has been wanted by the world for centuries, and the other is a newcomer to the high seas whose bounty has skyrocketed in a short period of time. These two bounty posters are being talked about all over the world.
Aside from the monsters active in the New World who frowned slightly upon seeing Mu Chong's bounty poster, some of the other pirates showed disdain, but most gasped in shock.
Most pirates seemed to have sensed a certain signal and accelerated their journey to the New World. They believed that with Moku's bounty rising at such a rapid pace, he would soon be approaching the level of the current Four Emperors, inevitably causing further turmoil in the New World.
Once a major war breaks out in the New World, opportunities will arise, and for ambitious pirates, this will be a golden opportunity.
Thus, with the release of these two bounty posters, not only did the pirates of the Grand Line stir, but pirates in the New World also secretly began to make moves, and even certain forces in the four seas wanted a share.
The protagonist of this story is currently aboard the Liberty, having once again changed course and is heading towards Banaro Island.
