Chapter 201: [Drawing the Sword to Slash - White Serpent Dance]
Slard's attack on the pirate ship didn't cause much of a stir; the crew of the Liberty continued with their own affairs.
But from that moment on, the explosion of that pirate ship seemed to have opened some kind of Pandora's box; the Liberty's voyage thereafter was filled with continuous attacks.
The sun rose above the sea and slowly moved towards the sky directly overhead.
boom! boom! boom!
Just as Mu Chong and the others finished breakfast and were preparing to sunbathe on the deck of the Liberty, white smoke was billowing from the muzzles of cannons on a flashy pirate ship located to the right rear of the Liberty.
Three scorching shells plummeted from the sky, striking the deck of the Liberty with unerring accuracy.
"Huh? Who provoked this? Why are you firing at the Freedom all the time? Is there some great treasure on the Freedom?"
Seeing the three cannonballs flying through the air, Mu Chong immediately shouted loudly to everyone.
Swish!
When everyone heard Mu Chong's shout, disdain appeared on their faces. Then, they all pointed to a wanted poster affixed to the mast of the Liberty, which showed the Celestial Dragons' bounty of 10 billion Berries on Mu Chong.
"Depend on!"
Swish!
When Mu Chong saw the wanted poster that everyone was pointing at, a black line immediately appeared on his forehead. He drew the white snake from its sheath at his waist and swung it at the cannonballs in the air.
boom!
A white, arc-shaped, lightning-fast slash met the three cannonballs in mid-air. The next moment, the cannonballs split in two and exploded in mid-air.
"Damn it! My 10 billion is nothing to you little karami!"
boom!
As Mu Chong spoke, he stood up abruptly, then slammed his feet on the deck of the Freedom, launching himself into the air and shooting towards the pirate ship to his right rear.
The pirate ship, which was only a few dozen meters away from the Liberty, was instantly above Mu Chong's hull.
boom!
Wielding the White Serpent sword, the wooden dagger landed angrily at the bow of the pirate ship, its tip pointed directly at the entire crew of pirates on the deck.
"Listen up, all of you! Give me a reasonable explanation right now, and then leave all your valuables behind and get out of my sight!"
Mu Chong had no intention of wasting words with these pirates; he immediately issued a death warrant.
In fact, Mu Chong could have simply slashed the pirate ship to pieces, but he wanted to find out why these guys were bombarding the Freedom. Was it just a chance robbery?
"This……"
From the moment the wooden scythe cleaved through the cannonballs in mid-air to the moment it stood horizontally at the bow, this series of actions had left the pirate ship's captain stunned.
At that moment, he suddenly understood something: could a guy with a bounty of 10 billion on his head by the Celestial Dragons really be a man who could be manipulated at will?
Moreover, the Navy has issued a bounty of one billion Berries.
Gudong!
Thinking of this, the pirate captain cleared his dry throat, and a look of panic began to appear in his eyes.
The other pirate crew members on deck were terrified by the aura emanating from Mu Chong, and they all trembled as they looked at their captain.
"Cough cough cough! Misunderstanding... misunderstanding! My lord! It's a beautiful misunderstanding! I had no intention of attacking your ship, I was just... just, just giving you a friendly greeting..."
shave!
boom!
While the pirate ship's captain stood there, sweating profusely and rambling incoherently, Mu Chong's figure vanished from the bow of the ship. The next second, the pirate ship's captain was sent flying backward.
puff!
A mouthful of bright red blood spurted from the pirate ship's captain as he was thrown backward, then slammed heavily against the wooden planks of the cabin. His terrified face visibly turned deathly pale.
Clang!
This scene was witnessed by the surrounding pirate crew members. Overwhelmed with fear, some of them immediately dropped their weapons and involuntarily took several steps back.
"Heh heh heh! You bastard! Don't you even believe what you're saying yourself?"
Boom!Boom!Boom!
With his expression now calm, Mu Chong slowly walked towards the fallen pirate captain.
"Listen, I don't want to repeat myself, now tell me your answer!"
Swish!
A flash of light streaked through the air, the tip of White Snake's blade aimed directly at the pirate captain's forehead.
"Speak...I'll talk!"
Completely gripped by fear, the pirate captain chose to live the moment the blade touched his forehead.
call!
A gust of wind swept across the pirate ship's deck, but the coolness of the sea breeze did nothing to dispel the palpable terror that hung on the deck.
"Hero! I was blinded by money and foolishly tried to take your head to exchange for the 10 billion Berry bounty from the Celestial Dragons. That's why I bombarded your ship. It's all my fault as the captain. I hope you will spare my crew. I'll do whatever you want with them!"
The pirate captain slumped on the deck, not even looking up, and slowly spoke, his tone filled with regret.
"Captain Drew..."
The words of the pirate captain named Drew sent a shiver down the spines of all the pirates on deck, their eyes filled with reluctance.
"Ok?"
This sudden scene completely stunned Mu Chong. Good heavens, was someone putting on a melodramatic show right in front of him?
"Tell me! How did you identify my ship?"
Mu Chong glanced at the pirates around him, not taking the scene before him to heart, and continued to ask...
"Um...it's because everyone knows that the Hero's ship doesn't have any flags! So, it's very easy to recognize!"
Mu Chong's question startled Drew, who was slumped on the deck, for a moment before he slowly spoke.
"Depend on!"
Upon hearing Drew's bizarre reason, Mu Chong immediately swore. Then, he thought about it and realized that in the world of One Piece, it seemed that all pirate or merchant ships that went to sea flew flags, making the Freedom, which did not fly a flag, an anomaly.
"Ten minutes! Put all the valuables on deck and get as far away from me as possible!"
After getting the answer he wanted, Mu Chong prepared to leave the pirate ship, but how could he possibly leave empty-handed?
"Good, good, good! What are you all standing there for? Go and do as the hero instructs!"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Drew immediately nodded in agreement, then shouted loudly at his henchmen around him.
So, with the pirates working together, the deck was piled high with all sorts of items in just five minutes. The speed was so astonishing that Captain Drew's lips twitched in disbelief.
Boom!
boom!
But the next second, with the sound of two voices, a sudden change occurred.
Just as Mu Chong was about to leave with his belongings and turned around, a gunshot rang out behind him.
hum!
"You're in such a hurry to be reincarnated, you bastard!"
Just as the bullet grazed Mu Chong's back, a white energy wave enveloped it, instantly freezing the bullet in mid-air.
Swish!
The next second, before Mu Chong could finish speaking, the White Snake's blade had already sliced across Captain Drew's neck.
puff!
Boom!
As blood gushed from his neck, Drew's head rolled onto the deck.
call!
A sea breeze swept across the deck, carrying the smell of blood to the nostrils of the surrounding pirates.
"Roar! Kill him!!"
It's unclear which pirate shouted, but all the pirates on deck immediately brandished their weapons and charged towards Mu Chong. At that moment, everyone's eyes turned bloodshot.
"Hehehe! You guys are really good at acting! Too bad! I'm not the actor who's going to play along with you!"
"One-Sword Style: Draw Sword Slash!"
"White Snake Dance!"
Facing the horde of pirates attacking him, Mu Chong remained calm, but a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he swung his white serpent sword.
Swish!
*Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!* ...
A ring of white slashes emanated from Mu Chong, rapidly spreading outwards. Accompanied by sounds like flesh and bone being sliced, the attacking pirates froze in place.
Boom!Boom!Boom! ...
The next second, heads fell from the pirates' bodies onto the deck of the pirate ship, and the gushing blood stained the entire deck red.
