Chapter 330: Return Journey - All for Robin

Whoosh!

In an unnamed area of ​​the Grand Line, the Freedom was rapidly advancing on the surface of the sea. Driven by Enel's electric power, the Freedom was moving at an astonishing speed.

Boom!

Just then, Slad jumped down from the lookout tower above the Liberty and slowly walked to the bow, where Mu Chong was sitting.

"Captain! Where are we going next? At the Freedom's current speed, it will probably take two days to reach the route to the Sky Island!"

As Slard spoke, he pulled out two permanent pointers, the permanent pointers for Alabasta and Jaya Island.

The Freedom is currently sailing across the Grand Line, so when the permanent compass in Slade's hand changes direction, it means the Freedom has overlapped with that route, and it can then change course.

"Hmm? Let's go back to Jaya Island first, then find out where the Straw Hat crew is, and then make a plan!"

Upon hearing Slad's question, Mu Chong hesitated for a moment before deciding on the Freedom's sailing route.

"Captain! Can we catch up like this? Why don't we go to Alabasta first?"

Mu Chong's words puzzled Slad. The incident in the newspaper clearly occurred within the territory of the Alabasta Kingdom.

"Hehehe! Given the Navy's speed in handling incidents, by the time that newspaper reaches our hands, the Straw Hat crew will have already left Alabasta, and their next stop will be Jaya Island!"

"Given the time it would take us to get to Jaya Island from here, we might not be able to catch up with them, but once we pinpoint their ship's location, there's no need to rush!"

Mu Chong sat at the bow of the boat, gazing up at the blue sky and white clouds, slowly analyzing...

"Hmm! I understand, Captain! But how can you be so sure Nicole Robin is on that ship?"

Upon hearing Mu Chong's explanation, Slad initially nodded and was about to leave, but he couldn't help but ask a question that had been bothering him.

Slade knew that the reason Mu Chong left Bora Bora a day early was because he was worried about Nico Robin's safety, which was why he was in such a hurry.

"Hehehe! I'm not sure if Robin will board the Straw Hat crew's ship either!"

Slad's question made Mu Chong hesitate slightly. After a soft chuckle, he said uncertainly...

"Hmm? This..."

"After Crocodile was defeated by Luffy, he was captured by the Navy. His subordinates must have been in a similar situation. If Robin hadn't been captured by the Navy, she would have definitely tried to leave Alabasta, and the Straw Hat crew's ship would have been the best option!"

Mu Chong placed the longsword, White Dragon, horizontally across his lap, tapping the blade incessantly with his fingers as he spoke, his expression slightly grave.

"Captain! If... if the Navy also captures Nico Robin, then what will we do?"

Slad, standing behind Mu Chong, listened quietly to what Mu Chong had to say, and after a moment's thought, said...

"Hehehe! Probably not! Robin's identity has always been a key focus of the World Government. If the Navy had captured her in Alabasta, that newspaper wouldn't have kept it a secret. That's not how the Navy and the World Government operate!"

"Besides, even if Robin is captured, I will definitely rescue her! If the Navy and the World Government dare to touch anyone I've set my sights on, I won't hesitate to let them experience the pain of being dominated again!"

boom!

As Mu Chong's voice rang out, a domineering aura burst forth, sweeping outwards from Mu Chong's center in an instant.

"Tch! How capricious of you, Captain!"

Sensing the aura emanating from Mu Chong, Slad shook his head helplessly, muttered a complaint, and then turned and left the bow of the ship.

At this moment, only Mu Chong remained at the bow of the Freedom, his fingers tapping on his longsword, White Dragon, as he silently gazed at the distant sea.

The Freedom ship did not pause in the slightest, but continued to speed forward.

Meanwhile, in a tavern in Mogu Town on Jaya Island, Bellamy was sitting at the bar, silently drinking away his sorrows, though his body was covered in wounds.

"Hey! Bellamy! You're already injured like this, so don't drink so much. So what if you can't beat them? You can fight them when you get stronger!"

Standing behind the bar, Lilman frowned as he looked at Bellamy in front of him, his expression full of helplessness.

A day earlier, Bellamy insisted on challenging a guy on that pirate ship, and ended up getting badly beaten. If they hadn't found out Bellamy's identity later, the guy might have been killed.

"Hmph! You don't understand! Lilman! That guy said he came to find the hero, but they don't seem like good people to me. I'm just testing the enemy's strength for the hero in advance!"

Bellamy picked up the bottle from the bar and gulped down several more mouthfuls of liquor. The alcohol made her face flush even more.

Pfft! Hahahaha!

But just as Bellamy finished speaking, a loud burst of laughter erupted in the tavern.

"Hahahaha! Bellamy! This isn't testing the enemy's strength at all! It's just getting beaten up!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! Look at how badly he's been beaten. I knew I shouldn't have gone to sea that day. It's a pity I missed such a spectacular battle scene, hahahahaha!"

"Ouch! Does that hurt, Bellamy!"

In an instant, all the diners in the tavern laughed at Bellamy's disheveled appearance without any restraint.

"Tch! You know nothing! A bunch of weaklings! If you want to become stronger, you should have the guts to challenge the strong. What's there to be afraid of when you're covered in wounds? I'm still alive, aren't I? If those guys hadn't left Demon Valley Town beforehand, I would have made a move!"

Bellamy, instead of getting angry at the laughter of the crowd, wore a disdainful expression and loudly retorted without turning her head.

"hiss!!!"

Bellamy's words caused everyone present to gasp, their faces visibly showing surprise.

Bellamy, the hyena who used to be so arrogant in Mogu Town on Jaya Island, has suddenly changed his temperament? That's truly unexpected!

boom!

"Hey! Look how capable you are! Here, have one last bottle! Don't drink anymore after you finish this!"

Bellamy's boastful remark made Lilman, behind the bar, gleam with a knowing smile, and as he spoke, he handed Bellamy a new bottle of wine.

"Oh? Hahaha! Thanks, Lilman!"

Bellamy was taken aback by Lilman's action, but he immediately took the bottle of wine and drank it without any hesitation.

Everything in the tavern seemed so harmonious, except for one guy sitting in the corner who stood out from the cheerful atmosphere.

This guy had long, curly black hair, a black headscarf wrapped around his head, and wore an open white long-sleeved shirt, exposing his chest. He sat alone in a corner of the tavern, looking at Bellamy with a meaningful gaze.

Strangely, it seemed as if no one noticed him; even the diners at the next table ignored him.

"A chivalrous hero? I've been hearing legends about you all this time, hahahaha! A man with a bounty of 2.56 billion Berries, how intriguing!"

The man in the corner, his eyes gleaming with a strange light, spoke in a low voice, still sitting inconspicuously in the corner, drinking alone.
