Chapter 197: The Monsters' Attention
hiss!
"The Four Emperors! Whitebeard!"
Mu Chong's words caused Baku, who was standing nearby, to gasp in shock. The identity of Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, still carried a certain amount of intimidation.
However, compared to Baku's shock, Slad, who also knew about Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, appeared much calmer. Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, only a flash of excitement crossed his eyes.
"Marshall D. Teach?"
Enel completely ignored the mention of Whitebeard among the Four Emperors in Mu Chong's words, and instead repeated Blackbeard's name with a somber expression.
Snapped!
"Hahahaha! Enel! Trust me! We'll run into that guy again, so let's not get tricked again!"
Sensing Enel's emotional shift, Mu Chong jumped off the edge of the Liberty, walked to Enel's side, patted him on the shoulder, and then headed towards the cabin.
"Tch! Don't worry, Captain! Why would I do something so stupid twice? You should worry about that idiot navigator!"
Enel glanced at Mu Chong, then arrogantly raised his chin, defending himself while also teasing Slade.
"Huh? Hey, hey, hey! What stupid things are you saying, Enel? You idiot shipwright! You even got injured on your way back to Skypiea! You're really unreliable!"
As Enel's longtime rival, how could Slard not retaliate? Sure enough, upon hearing Enel's words, Slard immediately retorted.
"whispering sound!"
Click!
Enel's face instantly turned expressionless. He took a big bite of the apple, lay down flat, and ignored the furious Slade.
"Huh? What's with your reaction? Boatman! Are you defiant? Come on! Get up and fight me for three hundred rounds..."
"whispering sound!"
"Wow!"
……
Amidst laughter and joy, the crew of the Freedom of the Seas reunited. Perhaps sometimes, a brief separation makes us cherish the present moment even more.
Afterwards, everyone shared a reunion dinner, and then, amidst Mu Chong's joyful shouts, the Freedom embarked on a new voyage once again.
Meanwhile, as the two bounty notices spread throughout the ocean, countless eyes were suddenly focused on the chivalrous Mu Chong and the seemingly newcomer team called the Freedom.
The first one was a bounty poster from the Navy:
The chivalrous Mu Chong, with a bounty of one billion Berries, is a heinous criminal, whose life or death is irrelevant.
Enel, the God of Thor, with a bounty of 550 million Berries, is a heinous criminal whose fate is uncertain.
Navigator Slade, with a bounty of 450 million Berries, is a heinous criminal, whose fate is uncertain.
Combatant Baku, with a bounty of 350 million Berries, is a heinous criminal, whose fate is uncertain.
Since only these four people participated in the last battle, the others on the Freedom were not wanted. However, even these four wanted posters sent a chill down the spines of everyone on the high seas.
The second bounty poster also came from a Celestial Dragon from Mary Geoise, Saint Charmac.
The chivalrous hero Mu Chong has a bounty of 10 billion Berries and is ordered to capture him alive!
In the New World, in an unnamed sea, on a massive pirate ship resembling a whale, a man with a purple coat and a pineapple-shaped hairstyle is looking at four bounty posters in his hand with great curiosity.
"Hey! Seriously, are all the new recruits this good? Not only are their first bounties over 100 million, but this chivalrous Mu Chong's second bounty is a whopping 1 billion Berries! Is the Navy suddenly rich?"
The man with the pineapple-shaped haircut pointed to the wanted poster in his hand, his eyes showing no fear, only curiosity.
"Huh? What are you talking about, Marco!"
Just then, a burly man sitting at the head of the deck, covered in IV tubes, asked the man with the pineapple-shaped haircut in a deep voice...
"Ah! Dad! This is the Navy's newly issued bounty poster. There was a newcomer before who had a bounty of 300 million Berries on his first try, and now his second bounty has reached 1 billion Berries. Moreover, even his other three crew members each have a considerable bounty!"
Upon hearing the question from the man in the head seat, Marco quickly raised the wanted poster in his hand and spoke.
"Gurarararar! What an interesting bounty! Sengoku, Sengoku! That's so typical of you!"
The man Marco called "Dad" suddenly uttered a strange remark upon hearing Marco's story, leaving everyone on deck momentarily stunned.
"Hiss! This is..."
Just then, an unusual bounty poster slipped from Marco's newspaper and was spotted by a nearby pirate. When he saw the bounty amount, he gasped twice.
"Hero Mu Chong, a bounty of 10 billion Berries, is offered for his capture alive!"
"Ok?"
The pirate's voice surprised everyone around him, and also caused the man sitting in the head seat to frown slightly. He then gently raised his gaze to the distant sea, seemingly lost in thought.
And the same scene is happening in every corner of the sea.
In the New World, on Whole Cake Island, in a lavishly decorated palace, a plump woman holds a bounty poster for Mu Chong.
"Oh my god! Perospero, go and find this chivalrous Mu Chong for me! I want him to serve me in my kingdom! Such an outstanding man must belong to my kingdom!"
The obese woman spoke to a long-tongued man below who was holding a cane.
"Mother! He's just a rookie pirate, why bother Perospero? I'm willing to go and recruit him for you!"
Before Perospero could answer, a man standing next to him, wearing a red cloak and with what appeared to be flames burning on his head, spoke first.
"Hmm? Well, well, well! Okay! Then I'll let you go on the errand, Owen!"
Yes, Mom!
……
Mu Chong's bounty of 10 billion Berries not only attracted the attention of the monsters in the New World, but also drew the attention of the strongmen of the New World and numerous pirates from the Grand Line.
On a pirate ship in an unknown sea area
"Hahaha! 10 billion Berries! This money must be mine! A mere newbie must have angered the Celestial Dragons to have such a high bounty!"
A pirate captain with a large beard stood on the deck of his pirate ship and shouted loudly.
"Men, turn the ship around! We're going to get my 10 billion Berries!"
Roar!Roar!Roar!
This same scene is unfolding simultaneously in various corners of the sea, and even across the four seas, people are stirring with ambition.
Meanwhile, Mu Chong, the protagonist who was the focus of everyone's attention, was completely unaware that he was sweating profusely on the Freedom.
call!call!call!
"Captain! This seastone is useless now! Is it because it's not pure enough, as you said?"
Slad, who was also training, raised his hand to touch the sea stone on his body and said to Mu Chong.
"Yes! The higher the purity of Seastone, the greater the restrictions on the ability user. Since we don't have Seastone of higher purity right now, we'll just have to make do with what we have!"
Mu Chong glanced at Slad beside him, but his own training continued.
In contrast to Slard's ease, on the other end of the Freedom's deck, Baku and Belinda faced an excruciating sense of exhaustion, worse than death.
Guaou! Guaou!
Just as everyone was immersed in training, several shouts suddenly came from above the Freedom.
The next moment, several newspapers fell from the sky, landing neatly on the deck of the Liberty.
"Huh? A newspaper seagull? Delivering newspapers for free?"
Seeing this, Slad got up with some curiosity and walked over, bending down to pick up a newspaper from the deck.
Swish!
Just then, five wanted posters slipped out of the newspaper and floated lightly onto the deck.
"Hiss! This..."
