Chapter 418: The Birth of the Fifth Emperor?!
Guaou! Guaou!
The following morning, several seagulls circled in the sky above the uncharted waters of the new world, staring in astonishment at an island overhead, seemingly exchanging glances.
Rumble!
The enormous island glided through the clouds and flew towards the sea ahead, leaving behind a mysterious legend for the seagulls.
Meanwhile, on the grassy area in the center of the island, Mu Chong and his group of five were sitting together around a campfire with sizzling pieces of roasted meat in the middle.
After a night's rest, Mu Chong's injuries had healed, and even the two deep wounds had begun to regrow granulation tissue.
This terrifying recovery speed shocked Crocodile and the others. Baku looked down at his injuries and a bitter smile flashed across his face. Which of these two actually ate the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit?
"Captain! According to the message from the man in black, the Red-Haired Pirates only had a brief encounter with the Navy and the World Government last night!"
"The two sides exchanged a few blows on the high seas. The Navy and the World Government were unable to catch up with the Red-Haired Pirates, so the exchange ended without any casualties!"
The voice came from a white Den Den Mushi next to Kioka; Hill Bot, who had been closely monitoring the movements of the Navy and the World Government, was bringing the latest news.
"Tch! The Navy and the World Government are still as useless as ever. Even Admiral Akainu leading the team himself couldn't inflict any casualties on the Red-Haired Pirates. What a bunch of trash!"
Hearing the words from the Den Den Mushi, Crocodile swallowed a piece of grilled meat and scoffed.
"Hehehe! I can only say that the Navy and the World Government are quite cautious!"
Mu Chong ate the roasted meat in his hand, glanced at Sha Crocodile who was speaking, and said with a smile.
"The captain is right! When the Navy received the information we provided, it did not immediately dispatch troops. Instead, it cooperated with the World Government's intelligence department to personally verify the accuracy of our intelligence before sending troops!"
"I suspect that the reason they didn't pursue the Red-Haired Pirates when they encountered them on the high seas was because they were unaware of Shanks's injured state and didn't rashly start a war against a Yonko!"
As soon as Mu Chong finished speaking, Hill Bot's steady voice came through the Den Den Mushi.
Baku and the others didn't seem too surprised by Hill Bot's words; Mu Chong had informed them beforehand about notifying the Navy.
Click!
"Tch! One of the Four Emperors?"
Enel took a bite of the apple in his hand, a flash of lightning in his eyes. His interest in the title of Yonko (Four Emperors) intensified once again.
"Yes! You've worked hard, Hill!"
Mu Chong turned to look at the Den Den Mushi beside him, said something softly, and then hung up the Den Den Mushi.
call!
The wind was strong high above, crackling and popping as it blew the campfire burning between the five people.
After eating a few more pieces of roasted meat, Mu Chong sat cross-legged by the campfire, slowly closed his eyes, and the morning sunlight shone on his handsome face, leaving Caroline beside him mesmerized.
Seeing Mu Chong's state, the others understood their captain's thoughts, so they all fell silent and rested quietly to the side.
At this moment, Mu Chong was completely immersed in his power. The power of the Power-Power Fruit was constantly flowing through his body, and his Observation Haki and Armament Haki were also occasionally revealed.
As the power within Mu Chong fluctuated, white energy waves began to swirl around his body. The swirling ripples stirred the surrounding air, causing even the flames of the campfire in front of him to flicker wildly.
"Ok?"
The commotion caused by Mu Chong woke everyone up. Caroline's bright eyes sparkled, and she activated her Float-Float Fruit power, causing everything around Mu Chong to float away under her control.
Everyone else left as well, leaving the area entirely to Mu Chong.
The battle with Shanks deepened Mu Chong's understanding of the three types of Haki; Shanks' powerful Haki could now influence the use of his own Devil Fruit ability.
Mu Chong wasn't surprised by this, and didn't even unleash his Conqueror's Haki. At this moment, he was more focused on contemplating his Devil Fruit ability.
Outward-facing Devil Fruit abilities are countered by Haki, so what about internalizing them? Attaching them to the surface of the body? Or to the various cells and organs within the body? And then combining that with one's own powerful three types of Haki?
At this moment, Mu Chong completely emptied his mind, enveloping himself in Observation Haki, with Armament Haki constantly circulating within his body, and even Conqueror's Haki faintly appearing, white energy waves clinging to his skin.
At this moment, Mu Chong was completely covered in red and white. His body, which had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly rose into the air and moved with the island. As time passed, Mu Chong's full head of black hair gradually turned white.
call!
The entire island fell silent. Coupled with its location floating above the white clouds, everything around seemed to have time frozen. If it weren't for the gentle breeze, the entire place would have been as still as a painting.
Everything was fine in Mu Chong, but a huge uproar was brewing on the sea below, all because of thousands of newspapers that had fallen from the sky at noon.
Shocking! The balance of power among the Four Emperors in the New World is about to change?! A fifth Emperor is born?!
"Heroic Mu Chong and Shanks from the New World meet alone... The two unleash a battle that shakes the sea... At the cost of the destruction of the entire island, the two fight to a draw..."
"...The power of the Four Emperors has been shaken. Can the chivalrous Mu Chong change the new world order...? The seas are once again facing a new wave of turmoil..."
Newspapers were quickly distributed to every corner of the sea, and explosive news stories attracted everyone's attention, making the entire ocean bustling with activity.
boom!
"Damn it! How dare that bastard Morgans write something like that? If this kind of news spreads throughout the seas, it will have a huge impact on the captain's authority..."
On the Red Fosse, the burly combatant Gob roared and threw the newspaper he was holding onto the deck.
"Wow! Morgans got the news way too fast! In just half a day, the newspapers were already out in the open!"
Ben Beckman exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes fixed on the newspapers that had fallen onto the deck, a deep intelligence gleaming in them.
Ben Beckman's words caused the assembled officials to frown, their faces showing anger.
Shanks, seated at the head of the table, remained silent, his expression utterly cold. He held a half-empty glass of wine in his left hand, swirling it gently, a strange light flickering in his eyes.
"Hmph! The chivalrous Mu Chong..."
After a long silence, Shanks slowly let out a cold snort, as if Mu Chong's name was being squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Beckman! Have your men keep a close eye on that guy's every move. Deal with them after this critical moment passes. Captain Roger's plan must not be ruined by that guy!"
Shanks downed his drink in one gulp, then, with his head bowed, gave instructions for the next steps. As Shanks finished speaking, the entire Red Voss gradually fell silent.
The other three emperors, scattered across the New World seas, merely showed a hint of surprise upon seeing the newspaper. They had been keeping a close eye on Mokō and his crew, who were active on the high seas, but in their eyes, the idea of them replacing the Four Emperors was still wishful thinking.
