call!
A gentle breeze swept across the lake, bringing a touch of coolness to the people on the shore, and Mu Chong's voice rang out again.
"Remember, Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and even Conqueror's Haki. Everyone on the Freedom must possess the first two, and master them to the greatest extent possible. This will be crucial for you when facing those monsters in the future!"
"Hehehe! As for Conqueror's Haki! That depends on your own courage! I won't be stingy with the position of king on the Freedom. As long as you can awaken Conqueror's Haki, that's your skill!"
After saying this, Mu Chong stopped talking, lay down on his back, and slowly closed his eyes, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
Meanwhile, the group sitting opposite Mu Chong were deep in thought, each with a different expression on their face. Slad and Enel seemed the most relaxed.
What Mu Chong just said was hard for them to digest all at once. In short, it was about not neglecting physical training because of Devil Fruits.
Meanwhile, in a forest on the island, Caroline and her three companions, along with the white cat Mumu, were leisurely enjoying the fresh air of nature.
"Hey! Belinda! Do you think this grass is useful?"
Elsa, holding an unidentified herb, called out to Belinda, who was bending over to pick herbs nearby.
"Hmm? Hehehe! Elsa! Just pick the plants according to the picture I gave you. The one you're holding is just a blade of grass!"
Hearing Elsa's call, Belinda got up and turned to look. When she saw the blade of grass in Elsa's hand, a helpless expression immediately appeared on her face.
"Oh! Okay!"
Belinda's answer disappointed Aisha, who threw the grass in her hand away and then wandered around listlessly.
"Hehehe! Elsa! You should find something to eat! Leave the herb gathering to Belinda!"
Seeing this, Caroline placed a blade of grass into the basket on the back of the white cat Mumu, and smiled at Elsa, saying...
Upon hearing this, Aisha stuck out her tongue at Caroline. As the youngest chef on the Freedom, she had always been the one pampered by everyone.
Even so, no one can ignore Aisha's special ability: her innate Observation Haki. If we're talking about Observation Haki alone, Aisha would rank among the top three on the Freedom, second only to Konoha and Enel.
"Ok?"
Just as the group was engrossed in playing, Elsa, who had been following the white cat Mumu, suddenly stopped, her brows furrowed, and looked up at the top of a large tree in the distance.
"Meow!!!"
Mumu, who was closest to Elsa, immediately noticed her unusual behavior. He stopped and pressed himself tightly against her, while his Devil Fruit power secretly activated, slowly transforming his body into human form.
Mumu's sudden transformation also caused Caroline and the other two, who were busy gathering herbs, to stop what they were doing and, in perfect unison, come to Aisha's side.
"Elsa?"
Caroline cautiously surveyed her surroundings, but found nothing amiss, then softly called out, "Aisha!"
"Sister Caroline, I feel a pair of eyes watching us from the top of that big tree about two hundred meters in front of us!"
At this moment, Elsa's previous childlike expression vanished, and as she spoke, her aura surged, revealing a powerful force that was rapidly growing stronger.
Swish!
The next second, as soon as Aisha's voice fell, an arrow carrying an aura of dominance flew from Caroline's hand. Now that Caroline had eaten the Float-Float Fruit, she no longer needed to take out her golden bow to send arrows flying.
boom!
In just a moment, the arrow had already appeared at the top of the large tree that Aisha had pointed to.
Fluttering!
As the arrow pierced the branches, a sound like the flapping of wings suddenly emanated from the top of the tree. The four people who were farther away couldn't hear the sound, but they could clearly see the vibration of the branches and leaves.
"Hmph! I thought this was just an uninhabited island, but it turns out we've been monitored!"
boom!
While Caroline was speaking, Mumu, who had already transformed into human form, vanished from her spot. A figure flashed through the jungle, rapidly approaching the large tree ahead.
"Caroline! Should we inform the captain and the others?"
Just then, Belinda, with a serious expression, asked Caroline a question.
"Elsa?"
Caroline didn't answer immediately, but turned to look at Elsa beside her.
"Hmm! Sister Caroline! I haven't found any other watchers around!"
Hearing Caroline's voice, Aisha slowly opened her eyes and said confidently, "Just now, Aisha instantly activated her Observation Haki, and apart from the figure being chased by Mumu, she didn't sense anything else unusual."
"In that case, there's no need to go looking for the captain and the others! Those who only dare to peek from afar are probably not strong individuals with integrity. We've done enough!"
Caroline's eyes flashed with an incredibly domineering light as she spoke, decisively deciding on the next course of action.
hum!
The next moment, Caroline gently waved her right arm, instantly activating the Float-Float Fruit's power. The four of them were lifted into the air, flying towards the direction Mumu was chasing.
Meanwhile, about 300 meters away, Mu Mu, who had stopped chasing, looked up and down at the person she had cornered.
The man was dressed in dark gray clothing, had slightly tanned skin, and his hair was styled in a way that resembled two pointed ears. He had large, round eyes, a round face, and a slender build. At that moment, he was looking at Mu Mu with a serious expression.
The man was tense all over, not daring to relax for even a moment, because just now, the guy in front of him had instantly covered a distance of more than 300 meters and caught up with him. How could he not be nervous?
"Hoo! Who are you?"
The man took a deep breath and spoke first, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with the atmosphere.
"Meow? You've been spying on us! And you even dare to ask me who I am? And who are you?"
The man's question made Mumu's eyes light up, and then her tone revealed a great deal of curiosity.
"Hmph! You don't need to know who I am! Now get out of my way!"
Upon hearing Mu Mu's words, the man's expression instantly darkened, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
boom!
The next moment, accompanied by a sound, Mumu vanished from her spot, a fist enveloped in Armament Haki slamming directly towards the man.
"you……"
This sudden attack caught the man off guard. He instinctively raised his hands to block, but he seemed to have underestimated Mumu's strength.
boom!
boom!
With just one punch, the once-tough man was sent flying by Mumu, his body crashing uncontrollably into a large tree behind him.
Click!
The tree trunk snapped with a crack, and the man fell to the ground, but he merely shook his throbbing arm and stood up again.
"Meow? Your body is incredibly resilient to beatings? Interesting!"
Seeing this, Mumu's eyes shone even brighter. It seemed she could finally have a proper fight!
Swish!
So, under the man's gaze, which seemed to want to curse, Mumu's enormous fist attacked again. However, this time the man was not distracted and responded the moment Mumu charged.
"Storm Kick - Slash!"
The man raised his leg and swept it horizontally towards Mumu, a white arc slash shooting through the air, heading straight for the oncoming Mumu.
"Meow? That attack looks so familiar!"
Swish!
Seeing the oncoming slash, Mumu's eyes flashed with a sharp light. As she spoke, she moved swiftly, almost brushing past the attack with ease.
