The white clouds that appeared in the sky were quickly coated with a gray cloak, and lightning flashed within them. A strong wind began to sweep across the entire area.
The pirates on the ship, who had already fainted, were unaware of this scene. If they were awake at that moment, they would surely be terrified.
Rumble!
boom!
Moments later, the energy gathered in the clouds began to stir. With a muffled roar, a massive, grayish-white cylinder crackling with dozens of bolts of lightning burst forth from the clouds, hurtling straight toward the pirate ship below.
boom!
Click!
Splash!
In an instant, the grayish-white cylinder crashed into the pirate ship, its momentum undiminished as it hurtled towards the sea. With a series of explosions, the entire pirate ship was reduced to ashes. As for the pirates on board, who knows what became of them?
Meanwhile, Slad had already returned to the deck of the Liberty.
"Captain! That pirate ship over there is a pirate ship built by the prince of the Kingdom of Sodler, who is ahead of the Freedom. It's a second-generation nobleman with slaves and soldiers disguised as pirates!"
After handing the black stick to his underling, Slard went to the training area on the deck of the Liberty, picked up a drink, and started talking as he drank.
"Oh? A prince of a kingdom? He actually chose to go to sea and become a pirate? Doesn't that king care at all about what his people think?"
Mu Chong, who was sitting next to the training field drinking a beverage, raised an eyebrow upon hearing Slad's words and said with interest...
"Hmm? Perhaps the people within their kingdom don't know yet! Because the prince who was just dealt with was wearing a ghost mask the whole time!"
Slad shrugged, an indifferent expression on his face, and sat down as he spoke.
"Hmm? Wearing a mask? Hehehe! Interesting!"
Just then, Hill Bott, who was sitting next to him, suddenly chuckled! At this point, his injuries had mostly healed, and he was resting after training.
"Hey! Hill! Tell me your thoughts!"
Seeing that Hill Bot had spoken first, Mu Chong turned to look at him and gestured for him to share his thoughts.
"Yes, Captain!"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Hill Bott immediately sat up straight, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses, before he spoke.
"First of all! Judging from the group of pirates that Slad dealt with before, who had only been at sea for five days, the Kingdom of Sodler must be in dire straits right now. Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't easily set sail as a pirate on the Grand Line; they were forced into it!"
"So, the person who forced them was the king of the Kingdom of Soderle, and their king suddenly became murderous five days ago. From this, we can infer that the king of Soderle's mood has changed drastically!"
"Usually, the reason why their temperament changes drastically in a cruel and inhumane direction is either that their king has suffered an extremely painful blow, or that they have gained some kind of power that causes their ambition to surge!"
"And now, the king's son is actually going to sea as a pirate wearing a mask, and the king, as the ruler of the country, is even aware of this. So, the king of the Soderle Kingdom has not lost his mind, but rather his ambition has reached a point where he is no longer satisfied with the small Soderle Kingdom!"
At this point, Hill Bott raised his hand to adjust his golden glasses, his expression brimming with confidence. He took a deep breath and spoke again.
"Hmph! What fuels ambition to grow is nothing more than obtaining some kind of power. Power is divided into external and internal forces. Based on the mask worn by the prince on the pirate ship, I boldly guess that what he obtained must not be an external force! Because if it were an external force, then the earliest group of pirates would not have been unaware of the reason! They wouldn't even be as cautious as this group of pirates now!"
"Therefore, the king of the Kingdom of Soderle must have obtained something that can enhance his own power! So, what on this sea can grant someone power in a short period of time..."
"Devil Fruit?"
Just as Hill Bot was finishing his analysis, Slade, who was drinking a beverage beside him, slowly spoke up.
"That's right! The king of the Sodler Kingdom ate a Devil Fruit! And it's a Devil Fruit that allows him to clearly feel an increase in power, and its abilities are quite unique!"
As Hill Bott finished speaking, he slowly picked up his drink, took a large gulp, and his excitement was palpable.
At that moment, Mu Chong and Slad exchanged a glance, then both turned to look at the composed Hill Bot beside them, their eyes filled with admiration.
"Uh! Captain! You..."
Feeling the gazes of two strange eyes fixed on him, Hill Bott paused, then asked in confusion.
Snapped!
"Hahahaha! Slard! What do you think? Aren't the people I chose excellent! Look at how logical and insightful this analysis is! Not bad! Not bad!"
Mu Chong suddenly raised his hand and patted Slad on the shoulder, laughing as he asked him a question, then praised Hill Bot with a beaming smile.
"Hill! What's going on in your head? Why don't you open it up and take a look?"
Slard nodded in satisfaction, but then his tone suddenly shifted, asking a question that made Hill Bott want to punch him.
"Captain! What about us?"
The rational Hill Bot chose to ignore Slard and instead turned to Mu Chong, asking for his captain's opinion.
Goo!Goo!Goo!
"Hmm? Us? No problem! We'll just go to the island to resupply as usual! As for the Soderle Kingdom's affairs, they have nothing to do with us, and I have no obligation to solve their problems!"
"Hey! Elsa! I've finished my drink!"
When Mu Chong heard Hill Bott's question, he was slightly taken aback at first, then shook his head slightly, appearing indifferent as if it were none of his business.
"Tch! Just like always, Captain!"
Mu Chong's words made Slad roll his eyes and couldn't help but mutter a sarcastic remark.
"Hehehe! Slad! How about we leave you in the Kingdom of Sodler? You can kill the king's son first, then kill the king himself, then become king, then lead your people to become powerful, then challenge the World Government's member states, and then overthrow the World Government..."
puff!
"Ah!! Hero Mu Chong! I challenge you to a duel! How dare you insult the resolve of a handsome man? Leave behind your two billion head!"
boom!boom!boom……
Clang! Clang! Clang...
Accompanied by Slard's roar, a chaotic commotion erupted on the deck of the Liberty as two figures chased and fought, appearing and disappearing across the deck.
"Hey! Hero, don't come any closer! I haven't finished my training yet..."
"Ah! Slad! Do you want to die? Prepare to die!"
"Tch! Boring!"
In no time, the sounds of fighting on the deck of the Liberty grew louder and louder, and more and more people joined in, gradually escalating into a chaotic free-for-all.
"Huh? Where's the captain?"
Just then, Aisha walked over with a drink. Not seeing Mu Chong, she asked Hill Bot.
"There it is!"
Hill Bot pointed to the chaotic area on the deck, said something, and then expertly picked up the drink Aisha was holding.
"Huh? You want to drink... Never mind! Here you go! By the time the captain finishes making the drinks, they'll be hot!"
Aisha turned around and saw Hill Bot's actions. She was about to speak to stop him, but then she changed her mind, shook her head slightly, and turned to leave.
