Chapter 28 First Boarding and the Beginning of the Battle
Chapter Twenty-Eight: First Boarding and the Beginning of War
Under the watchful eyes of Slard and the white cat Mumu, the cannonball plummeted towards the pirate ship like a meteorite, its power more than ten times greater than before, simply because Mumu had applied gravity to the cannonball.
call……
The powerful impact and the resulting gust of wind stunned the crew of the pirate ship, leaving them momentarily speechless and unable to stop the cannonballs from landing.
"Huh? A bunch of useless trash!!"
boom……
Captain Rosio of the pirate ship immediately sensed something was wrong. After cursing, he charged towards the bow of the ship with a bang, two one-meter-long short swords with barbs appearing in his hands.
"Get out of my way!!"
Rossio stared intently at the cannonballs raining down from the sky, feeling the pressure, but as captain, he had no reason to retreat.
boom……
Click...
Rossio slammed his foot on the deck, using the recoil to charge towards the nearby shell. The moment he made contact, Rossio's expression changed drastically.
"Damn it, there's definitely something wrong with this shell!!"
shuh...
Boom...
The two short swords swiftly slid past the two cannonballs, causing them to explode instantly. The moves that used to be as easy as slicing through melons and vegetables suddenly lost their power.
boom……
The injured Rosio fell out of the smoke of the explosion and crashed heavily onto the deck.
"captain!!"
"Captain Rossio!!"
Before the pirates could even check on Rosio's injuries, the remaining cannonballs whistled through the air.
bang bang bang...
Rumble rumble rumble...
In an instant, the entire pirate ship was thrown into chaos, with explosions everywhere, flames erupting from the explosions, and the screams of the pirates filling the air.
"Ahhh, help me! Help me!!"
"Pull me up! I don't want to die!!"
"Captain Rossio, think of something quick!!"
Meanwhile, the pirate captain, Rosio, was helped up by another pirate. Looking at the raging fires and the dilapidated, sinking pirate ship around him, he couldn't believe his eyes.
Rosio only snapped out of his daze when he heard pirates calling his name, his eyes instantly turning ruthless again.
Rossio, gripping two broken swords, swiftly reached the bow of the ship. Seeing the Liberty already very close, he suddenly roared behind him.
"Men, launch the boarding ropes! Get me onto that ship! I'll tear him to pieces!!"
As Rosio finished speaking, the pirates who remained conscious launched their boarding ropes at the Liberty.
"What should we do, Captain?!"
As countless ropes and iron claws flew towards the Liberty, Slad frowned, feeling somewhat panicked as he had never experienced naval warfare.
"Hahaha!! Don't be in such a hurry, Slard. They're just a bunch of small fry. It'll be a good time to test the results of your training these past few days! Silly cat, wait for your chance to strike!"
Mu Chong laughed loudly and then spoke, but he did not stop the pirates who had already climbed the rope and were rushing towards the Freedom. For Slad, war was something he had to experience sooner or later, and this was an opportunity.
"Hehe, let's go then!!"
Growing increasingly excited, Slad charged out with his two-meter-long club, unleashing a sweeping blow at a pirate who had just boarded the Liberty.
boom……
puff! !
With a loud bang and a spurt of blood, the boarding battle officially began.
Standing over two meters tall, Slad charged ahead, wielding a two-meter-long club. He showed no fear against the relentless onslaught of pirates, displaying sheer ferocity. However, he couldn't withstand the sheer number of enemies and was gradually surrounded.
The other pirates shifted their focus, grabbing their weapons and charging towards the seemingly harmless Mu Chong.
"Kill them!!"
"Charge!! Kill this brat first!!"
"Hehehe! This kill is mine!!"
Swish! !
boom……
Just as the pirate's sword came down, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Mu Chong and kicked the pirate and his sword into the sea.
"Hmm? Is this 'shaving'?"
Mu Chong rubbed his nose and muttered to himself, looking at the Skidek who had appeared before him, and became curious about his entrance skill.
"With an old man like me around, how could we let you get close to our captain so easily?!"
The elderly Skidek, a cigarette dangling from his lips, stood imposingly in front of Mu Chong, coldly saying...
"Damn it, where did this old bastard come from? In such a hurry to die? I'll grant your wish today!! Go get him, kill him!"
"Die, you old bastard!!"
The pirates, now blocked, became even more frantic. How dare a white-haired, smelly old man provoke the great Rossio Pirates?
"Pah, that's utter nonsense!"
"shave!!"
Schidek spat out his cigarette butt, gave a cold shout, and charged towards the clamoring pirates.
"Hehe, it really is the Navy's Type 6 'Shave'! Bring it over here, bring it over here!!"
Mu Chong's lips curled up as he watched Schideke sweeping through the pirate ranks.
"Hey, hey, hey, as a lowly henchman, how arrogant do you think you are to face the other captain?"
Under the influence of Observation Haki, a fat pirate wielding a spiked club charged towards Mu Chong.
when!!
Without moving an inch, Mu Chong raised his left hand to meet the thick spiked club. With a clang, the club was forcefully blocked.
"this??"
"Let's go down and ask the sea kings!!"
boom……
A powerful punch landed on the obese pirate's abdomen, causing his enormous belly to visibly cave in, and the pirate was sent flying into the sea.
"Captain, come quick! There are too many people!"
Just then, Slad, who had been besieged for a long time, finally sent a distress call to Mu Chong, much longer than Mu Chong had anticipated.
"Hahaha! Not bad, Slard, you've improved! Here I come!!"
The instant Mu Chong finished speaking, he vanished from the spot.
bang bang bang...
Click!
"Ah ah ah..."
"Where did this brat come from? He's too ruthless!!"
With the sounds of fists striking flesh, bones breaking, and even weapons snapping, the pirates who had been besieging Slad began to fall into chaos, simply because Mu Chong was too ruthless, each punch deadly.
Mu Chong didn't choose to use his ability directly. Facing these pirate henchmen, using his Devil Fruit power would be a waste; a man should enjoy the visceral pleasure of fistfights.
"Phew! Captain, you're finally here!!!"
Slad smashed a pirate away with a single blow, then turned to Mu Chong with a miserable expression and said...
"It's not time to relax yet, Slard!! Let's take down these pirates first!!"
Mu Chong charged out again, his movements incredibly clean and efficient.
"Hahaha! Keep going! Keep going!!"
With the addition of Mu Chong to the battlefield, Slad's pressure was greatly reduced, allowing him to wield his long staff with even greater speed and power.
……
"Captain Rosio, what kind of pirates are on that ship? Why are they so powerful?"
The weasel-faced pirate standing on the half-destroyed pirate ship looked at Rosio with a frightened expression and said...
"Damn it, where did this pirate ship come from? Why isn't it flying a pirate flag? And these three people have such fighting power...!!"
Rossio plunged the broken knife deep into the wooden board, his eyes filled with an extremely sinister expression.
The moment he touched the falling cannonballs, he knew there were powerful figures on the opposing ship. That's why he ordered his men to board and fight, his aim being to hold off the enemy while he made further plans.
"Bari, go find a lifeboat. We need to leave here immediately and return to Mogu Town!!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Rossio's eyes, and he then spoke to the weasel-faced man beside him.
"Ah? It's the captain!!"
Without hesitation, Barge immediately turned and began searching the wrecked hull, while Rossio also left the bow.
Their actions went completely unnoticed by the pirates still aboard the Liberty.
