Chapter 53: Mu Chong Spits Blood
"captain!"
"captain!"
"captain!"
"captain!"
"Meow!!"
Seeing Mu Chong, dressed in white, return to the deck, the crew of the Freedom lined up in two rows, all watching him intently, awaiting his next instructions.
"Hahaha! Old man?"
Mu Chong's gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally landing on Schidek, who had also stood up, and he greeted him with a smile.
"Hahaha! The old man is the boatman of this ship, Brother Mu!"
With a full head of white hair, Schidek wore an expression of matter-of-fact indifference, showing no hesitation whatsoever.
"Hahaha! That's absolutely fantastic! So, everyone! Let's welcome this behemoth together! The thrilling journey has only just begun, hahaha!"
As Mu Chong finished speaking, he opened his arms wide. The sea breeze blew, and his white cloak fluttered in the wind. In that moment, he was unrestrained, fearless, and youthful.
"Roar!!!"
"Hahaha!! Let's go!!"
"Slad!"
"Leave it to me, Captain!"
After the conversation ended, Slad and Schidek went into the control room together. Their task was to bring the Liberty to a steady stop in the very center of the surging ocean current.
Since the Liberty is not a self-propelled ship, it can only rely on the wind to propel its sails. Therefore, Mokatsu stayed on the deck and used his Devil Fruit ability to control the ship's power.
Everyone else performed their duties, firmly controlling the enormous sails and ensuring the Liberty sailed steadily along the predetermined route.
"Look! That ship is moving!!"
"Is it about to start? I'm so nervous!"
"gallant……"
To all the onlookers, the small black dot moved forward a bit, then moved a short distance to the right, then moved forward again, and finally stopped at that position.
At this moment, the entire sea was eerily quiet, as if the entire space had been imprisoned by some kind of power. The wind stopped blowing, the sea stopped rolling, people stopped moving, and only breathing could sustain life.
call!call!call!
"The wind is picking up, furl the sails!"
After bringing the ship to a stop, Slad returned to the deck. The navigator had been watching the clouds intently. With a shout, the once clear blue sky was instantly replaced by thick, dark clouds. The light quickly dimmed, and the oppressive atmosphere became extremely tense.
Just as everyone worked together to furl the sails, a fierce wind surged towards the Liberty from all directions.
Boom! Whoosh! Whoosh!
"Captain, it's air turbulence! This kind of situation can easily form a tornado!"
The moment the wind picked up, Slad immediately shouted loudly towards the wooden bow, as if that figure was the ship's anchor.
"Got it, Slard! Leave the ship's stability to me, you keep an eye on this awful weather!"
Mu Chong did not turn around; he believed Slad's words without question!
"Hahaha! This is quite a commotion! Come on, let me see it!"
Mu Chong stood at the bow of the ship, his body remaining perfectly still despite the fierce winds. His eyes were fixed on the dark, cloud-covered sky, feeling every gust of wind that swept past him.
boom!boom!
creak creak...
Driven by the strong winds, the sea became increasingly turbulent, and waves began to pound against the hull of the Liberty, the wooden planks creaking incessantly.
call!
"Hurry, Captain! A tornado is forming!"
Then Slad's voice came again, sounding like a roar.
"captain……"
"Shut up, Locas. At this time, just follow orders and trust the captain and our navigator!"
Hill Bot gripped the mast railing firmly and interrupted Locas without hesitation.
"Damn it!!"
Locas slammed his fist into the mast; the feeling of being powerless at that moment was truly awful.
call!call!call!
The winds grew stronger, and the Liberty rocked more and more violently. With the waves crashing in ever more fiercely, it felt as if the ship might be pushed away.
"Hahahaha! Wind, I've found you!"
Just when everyone was extremely tense, Mu Chong, who had been silent all along, suddenly burst out with a loud shout.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Chong at the bow of the ship suddenly opened his arms, and rings of white light shot out from his palms, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Mu Chong then remained in this pose.
Until the moment the surrounding air turbulence was about to form a tornado, until Slad's bloodshot eyes could no longer hold on, until the Liberty's hull was about to be capsized by a gigantic wave.
Mu acted impulsively!
boom!
boom!
With a thud, his right foot slammed onto the deck, forcefully pressing down the rising ship as he assumed a horse stance. Then, his outstretched hands suddenly grabbed, pulling his arms back.
"Shut up, you bastard!"
"Wind Power - Tai Chi Formation"
hum!
boom!
call!
With a loud shout, Mu Chong completed the Tai Chi push-hands pull-back movement. Suddenly, the surrounding turbulent winds seemed to be drawn by some force, automatically forming a ring of air currents around the Freedom ship amidst the howling winds.
Layer upon layer of wind surrounded the Freedom, and the wind, which was originally transparent and imperceptible, now turned into a visible white, forming a vertical wind tunnel around the Freedom. The opening of the wind tunnel pointed straight to the sky. Outside the wind tunnel, there were raging winds and huge waves, while inside the wind tunnel, there was calm and tranquility.
boom!
Without the rolling of waves, the Freedom hull gently sank back onto the sea, remaining motionless.
"Phew! Hahahaha! Who else?!"
At this moment, Mu Chong straightened up, raised his head, and roared to the sky. His Conqueror's Haki erupted, unleashing an aura of absolute dominance over heaven and earth, displaying unparalleled grandeur.
Click!
Rumble!
Buzz!
"Oh no! What's that sound?"
"It's coming from under the ship! It's coming from beneath the ship!"
"It's it! It's the surging ocean current! It's coming!"
"captain……"
The sudden sound filled everyone on the ship with a heavy, oppressive feeling and an unknown fear. Even Mu Chong stared solemnly at the sea below.
"The big guys are coming, everyone! Hold on tight! Take care of yourselves and those around you, we're all going to the Sky Island together!!"
In this incredibly tense moment, Mu Chong shouted loudly, which not only calmed everyone's panicked hearts but also boosted his own morale.
"Come on! Soaring current! I'm waiting for you!"
Mu Chong slowly crouched on the bow deck, right hand in front, left hand behind, hands stacked one on top of the other. The next moment, dense, milky-white halos of light shot from his palms, flowing along the hull of the Freedom and into the deep sea.
"Force is a physical phenomenon produced by the interaction of two objects. The interaction between two objects is called a collision, and the unidirectional action of one object is called an impact. Therefore, if two objects act in the same direction, both of these situations can be avoided. So, at a certain moment, I only need to make the speed at which the Liberty ascends the same as the speed at which the Sky Current rises, and I can avoid an impact, and then..."
blah blah blah!
A bead of sweat dripped from Mu Chong's bowed forehead onto the deck. His face was now covered in sweat, and he clenched his teeth, frantically searching for a solution.
At the same time, his hands were frantically channeling his Strength-Strength Fruit power into the deep sea, attempting to envelop the entire area beneath the ship.
His Observation Haki was unleashed without reservation, covering the impending burst of energy and attempting to locate the point of explosion of the surging ocean current that was gradually forming deep in the sea.
Click!
Rumble!
"Huh? It's here! Damn! ...Pfft..."
Mu Chong, who was squatting, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"captain!!"
"Hurry! He's here!"
Just as Mu Chong was trying to cover the energy ball, the surging sea current suddenly erupted. Despite Mu Chong's extreme caution, he underestimated the power of the surging sea current. The sudden eruption caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood, and his chest felt extremely tight.
"Hehehe! Come on, come on, soaring to the heavens! I'm waiting for you!"
Feeling the sea level gradually rise, Mu Chong muttered to himself, a ferocious smile even appearing on his face.
