Chapter 162: Mermaid Laura
boom!boom!
The two unconscious men were then thrown onto the deck in front of Mu Chong by Slard and Enel.
"Cough cough...! Captain! This guy is a Marine Vice Admiral, hahaha! Right now, without using my Devil Fruit powers, I can defeat a Marine Vice Admiral!"
Slad stood in front of Mu Chong, hands on his hips, completely ignoring his bleeding wounds, laughing as he spoke.
"Oh? A vice admiral! Hahahaha! Not bad, Slater!"
Upon hearing Slad's words, Mu Chong's eyes lit up; this was truly good news!
"Hahaha! Of course! I am..."
boom!
But before Slard could finish speaking, he collapsed onto the deck. He had won the battle, but he was also utterly exhausted.
Mu Chong smiled as he looked at Slad, who was fast asleep on the deck, his eyes filled with pride and joy—a joy that nothing could replace.
"Tch! What a weakling, navigator! Captain, this guy is a Devil Fruit user, a jumping man who ate the Jump-Jump Fruit..."
Enel also wore a smile, but he didn't miss any opportunity to tease Slard, and then introduced Number Four to Mu Chong.
"World Government? Number Four? He's from CP! The Jump-Jump Fruit is a pretty good ability!"
Based on Enel's description of Number Four's physical skills and abilities, Mu Chong was able to identify the person in front of him, but he didn't pay much attention to him.
clap clap!
"Hahahaha! You've all worked hard! Same as always, search the entire ship and take anything you can see. If what that servant of God said is true, there should be some interesting stuff!"
Then Mu Chong clapped his hands, waved his arm, and gave an order to the crowd in front of him.
Before long, the Freedom sailed away from this area and continued eastward.
Just then, a massive bolt of lightning, fifty meters in diameter, suddenly struck down from the sky, hitting the World Government's ship squarely.
boom!!!
……
Bubbles! Bubbles!
Click!
"Reporting to the Marshal! We have reached the vicinity of this sea area, but we have not found any ships. There are only scattered broken planks on the sea!"
Long after the Freedom had left, three naval warships arrived at the area where the battle had taken place, but found nothing but pieces of wood floating on the surface.
"Okay! Got it! Stay put and wait!"
Click!
The soldier hung up immediately after hearing a sound from the Den Den Mushi in his hand.
After a short while, the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) rang again.
Bubbles! Bubbles!
Click!
"Headquarters order! Three warships change course and head towards the Kingdom of Driggs on Steel Island. Lobby the CP organization there and be responsible for protecting the Kingdom of Driggs's Celestial Gold. Remember, the safety of the Celestial Gold is paramount!"
The voice coming from the Den Den Mushi was very serious, and at the end, it emphasized the name "Heavenly Gold" again.
"Yes, Marshal!"
After the other party hung up the Den Den Mushi, the soldier immediately got up and ran up to the deck.
"Brigadier General Mordes, orders from headquarters: target the Kingdom of Drigges on Iron Island, liaise with the CP organization, and protect the Celestial Gold there!"
The soldier reached the bow of the warship and shouted to a commodore.
"Hmph! Another Heavenly Gold! Let's go! The orders from headquarters have been issued; we just need to carry them out!"
Brigadier General Mordes was over two meters tall, with a robust and powerful physique, a square face, thick eyebrows, small eyes, and a deep, resonant voice. He wore a white cloak of justice draped over his back.
"Yes, Brigadier General!"
As the conversation ended, the three warships began to turn around, heading in the same direction the Liberty was traveling.
Meanwhile, a joyous banquet was being held on the deck of the Freedom.
A pile of delicious food and fine wine was laid out on the deck, and Mu Chong and his companions were gathered around it, enjoying a hearty meal.
Beside them lay a vast pile of items, gleaming golden in the sunlight—treasures plundered from the World Government's ships, the celestial wealth looted from countless kingdoms.
"Captain! She's awake!"
Just then, Belinda stepped out of the cabin and spoke loudly to the people on deck.
As Belinda's voice rang out, everyone turned to look, and there stood a female mermaid about three meters tall next to her.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
Her long pink hair cascaded casually down her back, her shy face flushed with a rosy hue. A wrinkled pink top barely concealed her ample bosom, while her lower body was covered in pink scales resembling a fish.
How to describe it? The female mermaid in front of me is like a miniature version of Shirahoshi.
"Thank you all so much for saving my life! I am Laura, a mermaid!"
Following closely behind Belinda, the somewhat frightened mermaid Lola whispered...
"Mermaids? Hahahaha! Don't be so polite, it's just a coincidence that we met. Come, come! Sit down and have something to eat!"
Mu Chong glanced at the mermaid Laura, his expression quite indifferent, pointed to the food in front of him, and said...
"Hehehehehe! Sister Laura, you're so pretty! Come sit with me!"
Aisha sensed Laura's nervousness with her Observation Haki and stood up to invite her to sit next to her.
"The merfolk! I've heard a lot about this race, but unfortunately, none of it has been good news!"
Slad took a sip of his drink, looking at Laura with a hint of regret in his eyes.
Everyone nodded in agreement with what Slard said. Take the mermaid Laura, for example; when she was found in the bottom of the World Government's ship, she was already so weak she was on the verge of death.
After receiving treatment from Belinda, he gradually recovered to his current state.
"Lola! How did you end up on a World Government ship? As far as I know, this area is quite a distance from the Sabaody Archipelago!"
Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, Mu Chong suddenly asked the mermaid Laura a question.
"Ah! To answer your question, sir!..."
"Hahaha! Laura! You don't need to call me 'Sir,' you can call me Captain or Hero!"
Upon hearing Laura's address to him, Mu Chong burst into laughter and then spoke.
"whispering sound!"
"cut!"
"Meow!!!!"
Mu Chong's answer immediately elicited three different responses from the surrounding crowd.
"Hey! What's wrong? You have a problem with that? Weren't you satisfied with the battle during the day? Want to spar with your captain again?!"
Mu Chong rolled his eyes at the two people in the crowd and said directly.
"Hehehehehe!"
"How boring!!"
"Hehehehe!!"
Laughter erupted on the deck, and even the mermaid Laura was infected by it, smiling at the humans around her.
As a mermaid, Lola had never imagined she could be so close, eating and chatting with these humans, laughing and joking together.
After composing herself, Laura slowly recounted her experiences.
Mermaid Laura is twenty-nine years old and has lived on Fishman Island, ten thousand meters underwater, since childhood. A month ago, she went on a sea voyage with her family. When they landed on land, they unfortunately encountered a group of vicious pirates.
And so tragedy struck: Laura's parents, trying to protect her, were captured by pirates and, to avoid becoming slaves, both committed suicide.
Laura, who tried to escape, wasn't so lucky; she was intercepted by a group of soldiers and taken back to the palace.
