One Piece: Power-Power Fruit

Chapter 22 Freedom Sets Sail

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Freedom Sets Sail

Devil Fruits are an indispensable form of power in the world of One Piece. Based on the different manifestations of their abilities, they can be divided into three categories.

Logia-type Devil Fruits allow the user to transform their body into an element, enabling them to evade most physical attacks. In the early stages of the game, Logia-type Devil Fruits are practically invincible.

Paramecia-type Devil Fruits grant the user a wide variety of superhuman abilities. Developing these abilities relies purely on intellect.

Zoan-type Devil Fruits are further divided into Common Zoan, Ancient Zoan, and Mythical Zoan. The last type is extremely rare, sometimes even more valuable than Logia-type fruits. Eating this type of fruit grants the ability to transform into various powerful animals, and it has a significant effect on physical strength.

However, as a treasure of the sea, most people will never encounter one in their entire lives. Therefore, Devil Fruits are extremely precious in this world, and even a very ordinary Devil Fruit can sell for hundreds of millions of Berries.

At this moment, Mu Chong had just eaten a Devil Fruit and was closing his eyes to feel the changes in his body.

Both Yixiao and the white cat Mumu stared intently at Muchong. Yixiao felt a mix of worry and anticipation deep down, while Mumu was purely curious.

"Meow...meow meow meow!??"

Just as the white cat Mumu was getting impatient and was about to touch Muchong, it suddenly felt its body leave the dining table and immediately started meowing.

"Huh? What's up with Brother Mu?"

Yixiao sensed a fluctuation of energy, and then, through his Observation Haki, he discovered the white cat Mumu floating above the dining table. His face immediately lit up with surprise.

"Meow meow meow……"

"Hehehe!!..."

Mu Chong didn't answer Yi Xiao's question immediately. At that moment, he was having a great time playing with the white cat Mu Mu, or rather, he was playing with the white cat Mu Mu.

Accompanied by the white cat Mumu's surprised cries, its body moved up and down, left and right in the air, achieving flight under Mu Chong's control.

"Cough cough! Brother Mu, please let it go!!"

Yi Xiao shook his head slightly and said helplessly.

"Hahaha!! Good, good, good!"

Mu Chong agreed, and the white cat Mu Mu was placed back on the dining table, its powers revoked.

"Meow……"

The white cat, Mumu, hissed fiercely at Muchong, waving its paws in protest, before quickly running out of the house. It didn't want to stay there a moment longer.

"Brother Mu, what kind of power does this Devil Fruit have? Will it be of great help to you?"

With a smile, she earnestly asked the question that concerned her, her expression serious as she faced Mu Chong.

"Thank you, Uncle Yixiao, for the farewell gift. This Devil Fruit is amazing, I love it!! And it's been a great help to me!!"

Mu Chong raised his right hand, feeling an invisible force at his fingertips. He was already overjoyed, and then said...

"Uncle Yixiao, this is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, hmm? What's it called? The Strength-Strength Fruit! That's right, it's a Paramecia-type Strength-Strength Fruit. Right now, I can feel that I can control everything related to strength!!"

After a moment's thought, Mu Chong named the Devil Fruit. As he said, it was a Devil Fruit with limitless potential.

"Oh? Manipulation power! So, Brother Mu, you can also manipulate my gravity?"

Upon hearing Mu Chong's description, Yi Xiao's face lit up with surprise. If it was as he described, then this Devil Fruit would undoubtedly be of immense help to Mu Chong.

Gravity?

Mu Chong was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then closed his eyes and fully felt the power of the Devil Fruit within him.

This power is as if it has been integrated into every cell in the body. If you want to use it, you only need to construct your own ideas and methods in your mind, using your physical strength as a carrier, and the power will leap out of your body and be wielded as easily as an arm.

"I've got it!! Uncle Yixiao, why don't you experience it for yourself!!"

After Mu Chong finished speaking, without waiting for Yi Xiao's reply, he gently pressed down on Yi Xiao with his right hand in mid-air.

hum...

An invisible force instantly enveloped Yixiao's body.

"Huh? What's this?"

Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Yi Xiao immediately relaxed her control over her body, demonstrating the trust between them.

From Yixiao's perspective, Mu Chong simply extended his right hand towards him, and the next moment, it felt as if something was pressing down on his body, making him instantly very heavy. Although it didn't have a significant impact on him, this force was extremely similar to his Gravity Fruit power.

"It seems that Brother Mu has mastered an extraordinary power! This feeling is exactly the same as my ability!"

Just after Mu Chong dissipated his power, Yi Xiao smiled and said, full of approval.

"Yes, Uncle Yixiao! I can manipulate gravity, even change its direction, and I can even manipulate other forces..."

Mu Chong seemed to have received a super favorite toy, and kept showing it off, only to be interrupted by a smile.

"Very well, seeing that Brother Mu is so satisfied, I am relieved! Since Brother Mu's abilities are similar to mine, then listen carefully, Brother Mu. I will tell you about my understanding of the Gravity Fruit and its techniques. How much you can master is up to you!"

Mu Chong was utterly surprised by Yi Xiao's sudden words. In that instant, he was deeply moved. How could he not repay such kindness?

As Yixiao began to speak, the only sound in the entire lounge was her voice.

……

Windmill Village, Goa Kingdom, East Sea

At this moment, a smiling boy wearing a straw hat and red clothes was standing on a small boat, waving his hands to the people on the shore. It seemed that today was also his day to go out to sea.

As the boy in the straw hat disappeared into the sea, the people on the shore gradually dispersed. Only a woman with wavy hair and a slightly plump figure remained, gazing at the sea with a worried expression, unwilling to leave for a long time.

……

"Uncle Yixiao! Please take care of yourself!"

At the stern of the Liberty, Mu Chong waved his right hand, shouting loudly towards the simply dressed, blind man leaning on a cane on the shore. Only when the moment of parting truly arrived did he realize how reluctant he was to leave; two lines of tears silently streamed down his cheeks.

On the shore, Yixiao stood there steadily, her smile never wavering, her pale eyes wide open, as if trying to "see" everything in her heart.

Under Skodek's control, the Freedom slowly departed from the nameless island where he had lived for four years. Mu Chong felt a deep sense of loss; who knew when he would return, who knew when he would see his mentor and friend, Yixiao, again on the shore.

"We'll meet Grandpa Yixiao again, won't we, Captain?"

Slad gently patted Mu Chong's shoulder and said softly, sensing Mu Chong's low spirits.

"Meow!!!"

"Yes, that's right. When we're famous throughout the world, when we stand at the top, we'll meet again!"

Mu Chong wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, a smile returning to his face, and the confident young man once again radiated dazzling brilliance.

Mu Chong turned around, glanced at Slad standing in front of him, then at the white cat Mu Mu standing beside him, smiled slightly, then opened his arms and said loudly.

"So, the Freedom officially sets sail today!!"
