Chapter 143: The Post-War! A New Course!

Boo!

As Mu Chong's voice faded, a booming sound erupted in the air, and Mu Chong's figure vanished, reappearing in front of Dong Li the next moment.

boom!

"Well!!!"

From Dongli's perspective, the moment Mu Chong's figure disappeared from the air, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Despite the opponent's small size, the power of his attack was by no means weak.

Mu Chong hadn't expected that, with the enhancement of his Devil Fruit ability, he would possess such speed.

After delivering a punch to Dongli, Mu Chong was thrown backward, instantly returning to his initial position. He stared in astonishment at his own body and Dongli's pained expression.

"Cough cough! This guy's speed is truly amazing!! And why is his strength increasing so quickly?"

At this moment, Dongli could no longer stand upright; the pain in his abdomen made his body hunch over. He frowned and looked at Mu Chong, asking...

"Hahahaha! This is a new move I developed. Feel it, Dorry! But I'll slow it down. I want to know where the limits of my strength are."

Upon hearing Dong Li's question and feeling the surging power within his body, Mu Chong clenched his fist.

The Power-Power Fruit strengthens the body's muscles and bones, which does indeed increase Mokō's strength to some extent.

As his strength increased, Mu Chong's physical attributes also improved, most notably his speed.

"Hmph! Don't look down on me, buddy! Just attack! Don't insult the great warriors of Elbaf!"

Mu Chong's words angered Dong Li, who felt that Mu Chong was insulting him.

Thump! Thump! ...

Dongli launched the first attack, propelling himself forward with his feet, charging towards Mu Chong, his massive fist whistling through the air.

"Hahaha! Come on!"

Mu Chong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and Armament Haki covered his fists. Facing Dong Li's punches, he advanced instead of retreating.

boom!

boom!

The two fists, vastly different in size, collided, causing the very space to tremble and the aftershocks spreading outwards.

With this attack, Mu Chong's fist completely blocked Dong Li's force, and Dong Li's feet even slid back several meters.

"Hey there! This guy's strength is really exhilarating!"

As he spoke, Dongli threw another left punch at Mu Chong; he didn't intend to end it with just one blow.

"Hahahaha! Give it your all, Donri!"

Feeling the continuous power flowing through his body, Mu Chong became increasingly excited and charged forward to meet Dong Li's left fist.

boom!

boom!

call!

The two then exchanged punches, one after another. Despite the vast difference in their fist strength, Mu Chong, who was less than two meters tall, was able to consistently block the power of Dong Li, who was over twenty meters tall.

Boom!Boom!

The two forces collided, constantly compressing the surrounding air, and the resulting shockwaves began to wreak havoc on everything around them. Dongli's massive body was repeatedly knocked back by Mu Chong, even being pushed back dozens of meters.

Meanwhile, Mokcho, suspended in mid-air, was also suffering. The enhancement his Devil Fruit ability provided to his body couldn't last long, and coupled with the impact of Dorry's power, Mokcho was blasted back and forth dozens of times.

The last rays of the setting sun began to fade, with a few streaks of light struggling along the western coastline. The battle in the small garden had been raging for a long time, and night was about to fall.

boom!

Thump! Thump! ...

"Hey buddy, your strength is starting to weaken!"

After the attack ended, Dongli took a few steps back, looked up at Mu Chong who had regained his balance after being thrown backward, and said...

"Hoo! Let's settle this with one strike, Dorry!"

Mu Chong took a deep breath. He could feel that his stamina was almost depleted. Besides, this battle had already shown him his limits, so there was no need to continue.

Boom!

"Tell me your name, buddy!"

Dongli took a step forward, clenched his fists, and stared intently at Mu Chong in the air.

"Hahahaha! Hero! Mu Chong!"

boom!

boom!

……

"Captain! Dinner's ready!"

With the bright moon hanging in the sky and countless stars twinkling in the night, the Liberty cruises smoothly across the sea.

Aisha came out of the cabin and called out to Mu Chong, who was sitting at the bow keeping watch.

"Hmm! Here it comes! Whew!"

Mu Chong pulled himself out of his thoughts, slowly stood up, picked up the white snake beside him with his left hand, and walked towards the cabin.

The Freedom had been sailing away from Little Garden Island for a long time, and the battle between Mu Chong and his two companions and Dong Li and Brogy had ended. As for the final outcome of the battle between Mu Chong and Dong Li, it wasn't really that important.

A friendly sparring match brought Mu Chong and his friends together with the two giants from the Little Garden. After sharing farewell drinks, the Liberty set sail once more.

Importantly, Dongli and Brogy joined forces to demonstrate the terrifying power of "Overlord" to Mu Chong and the others, and before parting, they taught Mu Chong the relevant techniques for generating power.

"...'Overlord' is a combined technique of Brogy and me. Although I have told you all the physical techniques, with your current strength, you cannot unleash its true power. Keep going, hero! I hope that one day I can hear the sound of 'Overlord' echoing across the sea again!"

Before parting, the giant Dongli spoke solemnly to Mu Chong, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Perhaps this is the simplest and most sincere bond!

Since they parted ways, Mu Chong had been sitting at the bow of the ship, contemplating the application of the "Overlord" strategy, but due to his body being completely wrapped in bandages, he was unable to put it into practice.

"Hey hahaha! Captain! Isn't my Conqueror's Haki cool? Tell them and prove it to me! They don't believe me!"

As soon as Mu Chong entered the cabin, he heard Slad's voice. At that moment, everyone was sitting around the dining table waiting for Mu Chong.

"Hmm? Conqueror's Haki? Have you awakened it, Slade!"

Mu Chong's face was full of doubt, then he asked with a serious expression.

"Ok?"

"Hehehehe..."

"Pfft! Hahahaha! I knew Slade was lying to us! Hehehe, you big liar!"

Upon hearing Mu Chong's question, Belinda burst out laughing and mercilessly teased Slad.

Although the others didn't say anything, their flushed faces showed just how much Slad had been showing off.

"Huh?? No way?! Hey! Captain! You can't do this to me! Enel, that arrogant bastard, is one thing, but even you are doing this! Heavens above!!"

Slad beat his chest, stamped his feet, and wailed loudly, as if he had suffered a tremendous injustice.

"Pfft! Hahahaha!!"

His outburst caused another burst of maniacal laughter throughout the cabin, even bringing a sweet smile to the usually stern Enel's face.

Dinner ended amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, after which everyone went about their own business.

After examining each of the injured, Belinda went straight to her laboratory to study medicine.

Aisha and Baku went into the kitchen, one taking care of cleaning up the leftovers from dinner, and the other preparing bedtime dessert for everyone.

Meanwhile, Mu Chong, Slard, and Enel arrived one after another on the deck of the Liberty and sat around a round stool in the center of the deck, with the white cat Mu Mu lying beside them, seemingly dozing.

"Captain! Has the next route been confirmed? If we're still on this route, our next stop should be an island called Cactus Island!"

Slad took out a nautical chart from his pocket, which clearly marked a shipping route connecting several islands.

This is the nautical chart that Mu Chong obtained from Robin when he was in the Alabasta Kingdom.

Because the journey through Muchong is in reverse, the location of each island and the save pointer are recorded.

Hearing Slard's question, Enel turned his head to look. After this battle, Enel had a firsthand experience of the strength of the powerful figures in the Blue Sea, and he had become interested in the upcoming voyage.

"Ah! Slade! We're not going to follow the usual route from now on. The Freedom is changing course; we're heading east!"

"Hmm? East?"

Slade was taken aback by what he heard, then looked up and surveyed the Freedom's surroundings. It was pitch black. Where was he headed?

"Hahahaha! You're Slade, the navigator of the Freedom! I, as the captain, will set the course, and Enel will handle the ship's repairs. So, how to navigate the ship is up to you! Don't let me down!"

Seeing Slad looking a bit dazed, Mu Chong burst into laughter, regardless of whether he could handle it or not.

Next, we'll head east!
