Chapter 146: The Advance of the Freedom
Two days later on the Freedom
"Ah! The sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the sea is full of water. The breeze feels so nice!"
After a morning of training, Mu Chong lay sprawled out at the bow of the Freedom, his bare upper body still glistening with sweat.
Mu Chong squinted his eyes, fully enjoying what was uniquely his.
The silence was quickly broken.
"Captain! Captain! He's out! He's out!"
A hurried voice came from the cabin, followed by Belinda running towards them with one hand raised.
"Lady! Lady! My ship's doctor, can't you be a little more ladylike, you're a girl!"
Mu Chong immediately covered his forehead, lying flat on his back, not wanting to move at all, and said helplessly.
"Huh? Captain! What's a lady? Is she a special race? Or is the captain secretly in love with a woman?"
Belinda stopped at the bow of the ship, a look of confusion on her face, and asked curiously.
"Cough cough cough! That's not important! What's wrong with you, Belinda? Why are you in such a hurry!"
Upon hearing Belinda's question, Mu Chong coughed a few times, his helpless expression turning into confusion.
"Ah! Captain! I've developed Chopper's Rumble Ball, and I've even slightly reduced some of the side effects!"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's question, Belinda's face immediately lit up with a happy smile, and she quickly held up a white pill in her hand in front of Mu Chong.
"Oh? Hahahaha! You're really amazing, Belinda! To develop it in such a short time, you truly deserve to be the ship's doctor I chose! Hahahaha!"
Mu Chong reached out and took the pills Belinda handed him, looking them up and down while praising them.
"Hehehe! It's not as good as you say. I just made it according to Chopper's experimental procedures. This pill still has side effects, and it only works on people who have eaten Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities. It has no effect on the abilities of the three of you, Captain, Slade, and Enel!"
Hearing Mu Chong's praise, Belinda smiled slightly, then earnestly explained the details of the pills.
"Hahaha! That's already amazing, Belinda! The Rumble Ball isn't an ordinary pill. To be able to learn medicine, conduct research and experiments in such a short time, and even reduce the side effects of the Rumble Ball, you're a genius!"
"As for the purpose of the Rumble Ball, don't worry. Medical knowledge is boundless. I believe in you, Belinda. One day you will be able to develop something amazing!"
Mu Chong smiled and patiently explained Belinda's thoughts.
"Okay! Don't worry, Captain! I will! However, I still need a lot of medical books, so please remember to collect them for me!"
After hearing Mu Chong's words, Belinda took the Rumble Ball from his hand, turned and walked towards the cabin, turning back to say as she went.
"And also, Captain! I found records of those bloodline factors, demon factors, and genetic bloodlines you mentioned before in the library within my body, though they're not very detailed. Remember to find me the relevant books!"
"Hahaha! That's amazing, Belinda!"
Upon hearing Belinda's words, Mu Chong was startled. He hadn't expected that his casual remark would actually lead Belinda to relevant information. From her words, Mu Chong could sense that Belinda had already begun her research.
"A medical genius combined with the power of the Gluttony Fruit, hahaha! Belinda! Just how many surprises will you bring me?"
Mu Chong muttered to himself, lying back down on the bow of the ship, intending to continue to enjoy his comfort for a while longer.
"Hey! Captain! The load capacity is insufficient; we need your great abilities!"
Just then, Slade's enormous roar came from the training area on the deck of the Liberty.
"what?"
Mu Chong sprang to his feet with a quick movement and then swiftly made his way to the training area.
In the middle and rear section of the Freedom, there is a relatively large open area filled with various training equipment, which is also where everyone trains daily.
At this moment, three shirtless men were resting on the deck, drinking juice prepared by Elsa. Beside them lay a cat that looked like a tiger, and next to the cat sat a little girl in training clothes.
When everyone saw Mu Chong approaching, they all stood up to greet him, and the cat that looked like a tiger pounced on him.
"Hahaha! You've gotten heavier again, Mumu. With your physique, I'm starting to suspect you're mixed race!"
"Meow!!!"
The white cat Mumu happily enjoyed Muchong's petting, rubbing its big head against him. As long as it was with Muchong, the white cat Mumu felt safe and secure.
"Captain! The weights we're carrying aren't effective for training anymore, add more!"
Slad wiped the sweat from his body; his bronze muscles exuded power, and he was a completely different person from when he first set sail. Now, he appeared more composed and gave off a sense of security.
"Captain! Are you slacking off? I feel like your abilities aren't working on me anymore."
At this moment, Enel, wearing baggy pants, spoke up with a slight smile, his tone revealing his dissatisfaction.
Enel now certainly has reason to be proud. He has mastered Armament Haki, awakened Conqueror's Haki, further developed his Devil Fruit abilities, and possesses terrifying Observation Haki. This man considers himself incredibly strong.
"Hehehe! Captain!..."
Just as Mu Chong was about to retort to Enel, Baku covered the back of his head, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled.
Looking at the burly man in front of him, who was over three meters tall and nearly four meters high, Mu Chong smiled.
His upper body was bare, revealing dark, bulging muscles that almost perfectly showcased what true power was. Baku was the most hardworking trainee and, besides Mu Chong, the strongest in terms of Armament Haki. What made Mu Chong even more gratified was that Baku had also awakened Observation Haki.
The relentless weight training has rapidly improved the strength of the main combat force on the Freedom. Coupled with their considerable talent, the Freedom, even without using Devil Fruit abilities, is no longer someone who can be easily manipulated.
Even though Aisha is only about thirteen years old and less than 1.6 meters tall, she possesses an extremely special Observation Haki. In addition, because she often trains with these guys, she also has considerable combat ability in physical combat.
Moreover, she had a white cat resembling a fierce tiger as her fighting partner; the two of them, one human and one cat, were not weak.
"Hahaha! You guys are really reliable! Well then, as you wish!"
hum!
Mu Chong laughed heartily, raising his hand to activate his Power-Power Fruit ability. A white ripple spread outward from his palm, instantly enveloping everyone. Except for Aisha, who was covered in a light white, everyone else, including the white cat Mumu, was covered in a deep white.
boom!boom!boom!boom!
Just as the white ripples covered everyone, four consecutive thuds of people falling to the ground rang out.
"Damn it! Captain! This is too heavy!"
Slad knelt on one knee, gritting his teeth as he tried to stand up, but he found that he couldn't do so at this moment.
"Tch! You're just too weak, Slard!"
Enel also tried to get up, but he found that apart from teasing Slard, he couldn't stand up quickly.
"Ahhh!!!"
Just then, a loud shout rang out behind the two. Baku, who had been kneeling on one knee, had already assumed a horse stance and was attempting to stand up.
"Meow!!!"
Just as everyone was astonished, what Slard and Enel found even more unacceptable was that the white cat Mumu was actually moving slowly.
"Hahaha! Keep it up, everyone! You're not even as good as a cat!"
Seeing this, Mu Chong burst into laughter, then exchanged a smug glance with the white cat before walking over to the side, picking up a dumbbell, and starting to work out, leaving the others looking on in pain.
Guaou! Guaou! Guaou!
Just then, a familiar sound rang out in the sky, and a news-delivering gull appeared directly above the Liberty.
Whoosh!
Before Mu Chong could even speak, newspapers began to fall from the mail-delivering seagulls, drifting lightly onto the deck of the Liberty.
This scene occurred almost simultaneously around the world, in any corner of the ocean.
Free newspapers? That's not a simple matter.
