Chapter 167 Battle! Mountain Beast Horde!
Chapter 167: Battle! A Herd of Beasts in the Mountains!
Roar!Roar!Roar!
Swish!Swish!
Dozens of black gorillas appeared in Mu Chong and the others' sight, densely packed on tree trunks, the ground, and the nearby hillside.
These large creatures resembled the silverback gorillas Mu Chong had seen in his previous life, except that, unlike the silverback gorillas, these guys all had two sharp fangs.
"Hiss! Have we disturbed a gorilla's nest? Where did all these gorillas come from, and they're all so big?"
Big? Yes, that's right. The area around us was filled with gorillas, each over three meters tall, with the clearly higher-ranking ones being even more imposing.
boom!
The moment Slard finished speaking, on the hillside not far away, in the middle of a group of gorillas, a giant creature, easily eight meters tall, suddenly appeared.
Roar!
Boom!Boom!Boom!
A deafening roar erupted from the gorilla's mouth. The gorilla reared its head and howled, its massive fists pounding its chest repeatedly, producing a series of dull thuds.
As the action of the suspected leader gorilla ended, dozens of gorillas around it roared simultaneously.
Roar! Roar! ...
Rumble!
Some of the gorillas were even jumping around wildly, displaying their ferocity, causing the surrounding mountains to shake and the trees to be snapped in two.
Faced with the roars of dozens of colossal beasts before them, none of the three people and the cat standing in front showed any fear or retreat; in fact, their expressions revealed excitement.
"Roar!!!"
The white cat Mumu, who had been standing at the front, took a step forward and roared.
"Captain! The roars of these gorillas seem to be trying to drive us away; I can sense a strong warning!"
Just then, Aisha's voice came from behind her; her special Observation Haki allowed her to sense the meaning the gorilla was trying to convey.
"Hahaha! Looks like we've accidentally trespassed into their territory! But this fierce warning right off the bat is really annoying!"
Upon hearing Aisha's description, Mu Chong burst into laughter. As he spoke, he walked forward to the white cat Mumu, opened his arms wide, and loudly proclaimed...
"Hey! We've stumbled upon your territory by accident. We're just here to replenish our food supplies and will be leaving after a short rest. As residents, shouldn't you extend some hospitality, folks?"
Roar!Roar!Roar!
As soon as Mu Chong finished speaking, the leader standing on the hillside roared, and with its roar, the surrounding gorillas began to stir restlessly.
"Hey hahaha! You idiot captain! You actually dared to discuss things with a bunch of gorillas? Is there something wrong with your brain?"
Mu Chong's move made Slade next to him laugh so hard he almost fell over.
"Hehehe! Let's try diplomacy first, then resort to force! Since we can't reach an agreement through negotiation, let's fight them until they submit!"
Mu Chong ignored Slad's words and instead watched the gorilla that was gradually starting to move, his eyes gleaming.
Roar!
The next moment, the gorilla leader standing on the hillside roared to the sky.
The roar was like a bugle call, and the gorillas scattered around instantly launched an attack on Mu Chong and the others.
Roar!Roar!Roar!
"Captain! Let me handle this! A bunch of wild beasts from the mountains, daring to challenge the king, shall die!"
hum!
Faced with dozens of charging gorillas, Slard volunteered first, then took a step forward. With this step, a terrifying aura erupted from his body.
Slade unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, covering the gorilla troop without reservation.
Bang! Bang! ...
An overwhelming aura of dominance abruptly halted the gorillas' charge. One by one, the charging gorillas collapsed to the ground, their eyes rolling back in their heads.
Rumble!
Click!
As Slad unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, the entire scene descended into chaos, with the unstoppable gorilla crashing into tree trunks.
There were also some rather ferocious gorillas that crashed down next to Mu Chong and the others, their massive bodies making the ground tremble.
call!
Mu Chong nodded with satisfaction at Slad's proactive performance. He wouldn't deliberately hinder the crew's growth; on the contrary, he hoped they would grow quickly.
Mu Chong was very happy to see Slard and Enel both awaken Conqueror's Haki, as the future opponents the Freedom would face would need the support of this power.
Roar!
"Hahahaha! Slade! Your Conqueror's Haki needs a lot of improvement!"
Seeing that only a small portion of the gorillas had fallen, and the leader roaring to the sky on the hillside, Mu Chong burst out laughing.
At the same time, he was also marveling at the resilience of these giants. Even facing Conqueror's Haki, they still managed to fight with equal strength; this jungle was no ordinary place.
"Hmph! Captain! Don't make a move yet, let me have my fun first! How dare you look down on me, die!"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words and seeing the still restless gorilla before him, Slad grabbed his Cloud Staff, which was imbued with Conqueror's Haki, and charged forward.
"Hey! Slard! How can you enjoy such an exhilarating battle all by yourself? Captain, don't move! Let me have a go too!"
Just as Slard charged out, Baku also rushed up from the side, his over three-meter-tall body crushing him like a tank.
"You... Hahahaha! Fine, fine! But that leader is mine! Don't you dare touch him!"
Hearing what the two guys said, Mu Chong's face immediately showed a helpless expression. Slad and Baku were afraid that if Mu Chong made a move, they wouldn't have any combat experience.
"Roar!!!"
But just then, the white cat Mumu also rushed out, and its target was the gorilla standing on the hillside in the middle.
"Damn it! Fat Cat! You stop right there! That guy is mine!"
shave!
Seeing the white cat Mumu's actions, Mu Chong immediately activated the Navy's Six Styles Shave, instantly disappearing from his original spot and rushing straight towards the giant gorilla that was at least eight meters tall.
Roar!Roar!Roar!
As Mu Chong and his group attacked, deafening roars echoed through the mountains and forests. The gorillas unleashed their ferocity, as if the battle would only make them more ferocious.
"Cloud Staff - Sky-Piercing Strike!"
On the left side of the battlefield, facing a gorilla's pounce, Slard leaped up, wielding his staff, and hurled the black staff at the gorilla.
boom!
boom!
The gorilla, attempting to resist the cloud staff with its claws, was slammed into the ground by Slade's staff, causing the ground to crack and quickly create a deep crater.
Rumble!
The gorilla was completely crippled, but the surrounding gorillas did not retreat; instead, they pounced on Slard even more fiercely.
Roar!
"Hahaha! Again!"
"Cloud Staff - Sweep Across a Thousand Armies!"
The black cloud staff, originally two meters long, suddenly grew to about five meters, sweeping horizontally from right to left directly at the six gorillas that were pouncing on.
Bang! Bang! ...
Roar!
The sounds of collisions and roars filled the air. Six gorillas were swept away, but before Slad could catch his breath, another gorilla pounced.
Even the six gorillas that had just landed only lingered on the ground for a moment before rejoining the battle.
Slade, who hadn't used his Devil Fruit powers much, found himself at a stalemate in his battle with these guys.
On the other hand, the battle in Baku was even more perilous, with adrenaline surging.
Baku has never liked using weapons, and after mastering Armament Haki and Observation Haki, he prefers close-quarters combat even more.
boom!
Baku punched a gorilla in the head, then quickly twisted his body to dodge a claw, before placing both hands directly on the gorilla's arms.
"Haaah!!"
With both hands tightly gripping the gorilla's arms, Baku roared, strained his waist, and swung the three-meter-tall gorilla into the air.
boom!boom!boom! ...
The gorillas that rushed in from all sides were somewhat stunned by the impact of their own companion's body.
Baku ignored all of that, gripping the gorilla's arm tightly and using it as a weapon, charging towards the gorilla troop.
Roar!
boom!boom!
Boom!
The battle in Baku was a brutal affair, with rocks flying everywhere and tree trunks snapping one after another.
