Chapter 179: Battlefield?
"Don't be nervous, Wright! Perhaps these three conditions aren't difficult for you, but whether they're difficult for your kingdom, I don't know! After all, there will always be a group of people who die from comfort!"
Mu Chong noticed the worry in Wright's eyes and offered words of comfort.
"Hmph! Since you've already said so, whatever those three conditions are, I, Wright, will agree without hesitation! As for the kingdom, I will do my utmost to fulfill what you've said!"
Wright frowned, lowered his head and pondered for a long time before finally exhaling deeply and speaking.
"Hahahaha! Good! That's bold! We'll discuss the three conditions after we've driven those pirates away! I'm getting hungry after all this talk! Hey! Want to stay for a meal?"
Upon hearing Wright's answer, Mu Chong laughed and stood up, looking at Wright and saying...
"Ah? Dinner? No, no! I need to rush back immediately to tell my father this good news! Thank you for the invitation, Your Excellency. After we drive away those pirates, I will host a banquet for you at the palace!"
Wright finally smiled, and even his tone of voice became much happier.
"Hahaha! That's settled then! Slard, send them back!"
After saying this, Mu Chong turned and walked towards the cabin, already smelling the fragrance wafting from inside.
As Mu Chong left, Enel and Baku glanced at Slad with smiles before following him into the cabin, leaving a completely bewildered Slad behind.
"Hey! You guys? You think I do all the dirty work? I should have just killed you!"
Helpless, Slad grabbed Wright, who was sitting down, and sent him flying under Wright's apologetic gaze.
Nothing more was said that night!
The following morning, as the first rays of sunlight rose above the horizon, the Freedom slowly sailed away from the western coast of Steel Island.
Early in the morning, Wright sailed his small boat back to the west coast without alerting anyone, and is now leading the Liberty around the island.
The Kingdom of Driggs is located north of Iron Island, and the Freedom only needs to circle a quarter of the island to reach the rear of the Kingdom of Driggs.
"Captain! There are people on the shore. It seems Wright is quite thoughtful! He even knows to arrange for people to line up and greet them!"
On the deck of the Freedom, Mu Chong and his group stood at the bow, looking at the group of people standing on the shore. Slad spoke first.
"Hehehe! After all, you grew up in aristocracy, those worldly etiquettes are ingrained in your bones! Speaking of which, didn't you also grow up in the Navy Headquarters? How come I don't see these things in you?"
Mu Chong looked at the group of people on the shore and slowly began to speak, but suddenly changed the subject and asked Slade.
"Huh? Tch! Captain! I did grow up in the Navy Headquarters, but I'm not a nobleman! Besides, I've never received any noble etiquette training. I, Slard, am a child of the sea! Hahahaha!"
"Hey! That's enough, Slard! Look at you smug, Captain! Can I punch him?"
Seeing Slard's excited and smug look, Belinda, standing next to him, immediately spoke with disdain.
"Hehehehehe! Belinda is so fierce!"
The mermaid Laura gently tugged at Elsa's sleeve and whispered...
"Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!"
Aisha watched Belinda's expression gradually change and nodded frantically without any hesitation.
"Elsa!"
"Run!"
"Meow!!!!"
Suddenly, the laughter of three girls chasing and playing with a cat echoed from the deck.
Click!
"Captain! You're enough to handle the pirates on the island! I'm not going to go ashore!"
Just then, Enel, who was munching on an apple, suddenly spoke up, his eyes revealing a serious expression.
"Ok?"
Enel's words surprised Mu Chong slightly. This usually arrogant guy had actually chosen to guard the ship? It seemed the approaching opponent was putting pressure on him.
Snapped!
Mu Chong smiled slightly, raised his hand and gently patted Enel's shoulder, saying nothing but giving him an approving look.
"Don't worry, shipwright! I, Slad, am here! You just get some rest!"
Slade also sensed Enel's unusual behavior, but his tone wasn't comforting; it was blatant mockery.
"whispering sound!"
Enel glanced at Slard, then turned and walked back to the cabin without looking back.
"Captain! We've arrived!"
Just then, the Liberty came to a stop at the shore, where Wright was waving his hands and shouting loudly.
The northern coast of Steel Island is a flat slope, resembling an artificial coastline carved out of a mountain for emergency use. There is no harbor here, only a platform that can accommodate two ships.
"Let's go! Let's see what interesting stories this island has to offer!"
hum!
Mu Chong smiled slightly, and as he spoke, he raised his hand to activate his Power-Power Fruit ability. A white ripple instantly enveloped the group preparing to land on the island.
call!
Four people and a cat suddenly took to the air and flew directly from the deck of the Liberty to the shore.
This scene surprised everyone standing on the shore, and also made some people with ulterior motives put away their schemes.
Intimidation was the purpose of Mu Chong activating his Devil Fruit ability. He disliked trouble, so he deliberately revealed some of his strength to warn the people on the shore.
"Captain! Let me introduce you..."
"No need for all that trouble, Wright! Just take us directly to the palace walls. Our purpose here is to deal with those pirates; we can talk about the rest later!"
As soon as Mu Chong and the others landed, Wright stepped forward to introduce the people on the shore, but Mu Chong interrupted him with an unquestionable tone.
"Alright! I'll take you there right away!"
Wright paused upon hearing this, but his expression quickly returned to normal. Gritting his teeth, he led Mu Chong away from the coast and headed towards the palace walls.
The kingdom's people who came to greet them were simply left stranded on the shore.
"Your Majesty! This..."
"It's alright! Ghosn! Judging from the strength that man just showed, Wright was right about him. If he can really handle those pirates, then this is nothing!"
In response to General Gorn's words, old King Brut simply waved his hand, his gaze fixed intently on Mu Chong's retreating figure, and calmly said...
"Father! Can this guy my elder brother brought back really handle it? The opponent is the Fiery Bear Davis! Besides, Davis has a group of formidable subordinates!"
Prince Derigus Lane walked up to the old King Brutus and said with some concern...
“Ryan! Right now, we can only trust Wright! But no matter what, we can’t do nothing! Gorn, mobilize the troops according to the previous plan! If that man can’t handle it, we still need the kingdom’s army to stop those pirates!”
At this moment, the old King Brute's face was filled with a solemn expression. He didn't care about Mu Chong's attitude towards him; what he cared about was whether Mu Chong could deal with the group of pirates.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ghosn looked at the old King Brut, seemingly wanting to say something but ultimately bowed and accepted the order.
Meanwhile, led by Wright, Mu Chong passed through one luxurious building after another and finally reached the platform of the kingdom's city wall.
The numerous cannon fire marks on the ground outside the city walls, along with the pervasive stench of blood in the air, made Mu Chong and the others frown.
"Captain! Those pirates haven't arrived yet. Judging from the current time, we'll have to wait a bit longer!"
The eldest prince, Wright, looked solemnly at the empty battlefield outside the city walls and said to Mu Chong...
"It's alright! Let's wait a bit!"
As Mu Chong spoke, he didn't look at the battlefield in front of him, but instead silently gazed at the distant sky.
He agreed to Wright's request partly out of curiosity about what was happening on the island, but more importantly, he needed a place to fight Admiral Kizaru.
