One Piece: Power-Power Fruit

Chapter 24 Young people should pay attention!

Chapter Twenty-Four: Young People, Be Careful!

"Hey! Wait a minute, Captain, what's this??"

The sudden gravity startled Slad. While struggling against it, he looked at Mu Chong with surprise and then asked...

"Hahaha! This is one of my abilities. I can apply gravity within a certain range, making the entire space feel heavy. I call it a gravity field!"

Mu Chong smiled as he looked at the trembling Slad. At that moment, Mu Chong's mind was filled with memories; he had lived in this environment for two whole years.

"Ah! Captain, this is too heavy! How am I supposed to move it?!"

Slad collapsed instantly, constantly complaining.

"Is it heavy? Look at that cat next to you!"

Mu Chong raised an eyebrow and said to Slad...

"Holy crap, how is this possible??"

Upon hearing this, Slard turned to look at the white cat Mumu beside him, and what he saw left him speechless.

Under the same gravitational field, the white cat Mumu appeared incredibly relaxed, watching Slade with curious eyes.

Seeing this, I have to say that over the past two years, the white cat Mumu has almost completed Yixiao's gravity training alongside Muchong. This gives you an idea of ​​just how strong this cat's adaptability to gravity is now.

"Keep trying, Slade! You're not even as good as a cat right now!"

After finishing his sentence, Mu Chong ignored Slad and turned to walk towards the bow of the ship, where a dragon head protruded from the bow.

Mu Chong plopped down, closed his eyes, and began to sense the power of his Devil Fruit. He planned to properly develop his Devil Fruit during this voyage to prepare for the events to come.

The Paramecia-type Power-Power Fruit, as the name suggests, is related to force. If someone from the One Piece world were to use this Devil Fruit, their potential would be quite limited. However, Mu Chong is from that new era, and his high school physics knowledge of force is quite good.

The most common forces we encounter in daily life include gravity, elasticity, and friction.

Gravity: The Earth's attractive force on objects, such as the force of gravity that keeps an object on the ground.

Elastic force: The force exerted by an object to return to its original shape after being deformed by an external force, such as the elastic force of a spring. Friction: The resistance generated when there is relative motion or a tendency for relative motion between two contact surfaces.

Besides the three types mentioned above, there are other types of force if we explore them further, such as...

Magnetic force: the attractive or repulsive force between magnets, such as in a maglev train.

Buoyancy: The upward supporting force exerted by a liquid on an object immersed in it, such as a boat floating on the surface of water.

Universal gravitation: The attractive force that exists between any two objects, and the reason why all objects in the universe attract each other.

Having said all that, we must mention the four fundamental forces of the universe: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force.

Thinking of this, Mu Chong, sitting at the bow of the ship, rubbed his forehead. He hadn't expected that even after transmigrating, he would still have to review high school physics.

Looking up at the vast ocean, Mu Chong decisively shook his head, clearing his mind of all the complex physics concepts, and said...

"Don't make it so complicated. We have to take it one step at a time. Gravity, attraction, and repulsion—just those three alone have kept me thinking for a long time. As for the other forces, I'll take my time. Maybe a sudden inspiration will come to me in the next moment, hahaha! I'm such a smart and handsome guy!!"

Then Mu Chong smiled slightly, closed his eyes again, and recalled Uncle Yixiao's explanation of the Gravity Fruit's development to him in the ship's cabin. As the saying goes, one generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade; so he had to master gravity first.

"Hmm? Why is the deck so heavy? Is that old guy Yixiao here?"

Just as Mu Chong sat on the bow contemplating his abilities, Skedek emerged from the Freedom's control room. With a tailwind, the Freedom was able to sail smoothly.

But as soon as he stepped out of the cabin and onto the deck, he sensed something was wrong. The gravity on the deck was significantly greater than in the control room. He instinctively thought Yixiao had boarded the ship, but after looking around, he couldn't see him.

With a question in his mind, Skodek slowly walked up to Slad, who was struggling to swing his stick, and asked...

"Slad, what's with the weight on this ship? Why do I feel a force pressing down on me?"

"Phew... It's the captain's ability. He just raised his hand and it turned into this. I don't know why?"

Slard was panting heavily; it was clear that the gravity was taking its toll.

"Ability? Could it be?"

Schidek was taken aback upon hearing this, understanding Slad's words almost instantly. However, seeing Mu Chong sitting quietly at the bow, he didn't disturb him but instead went into the galley to prepare food.

As the saying goes, "An elder in the family is a treasure." Besides Schidek, no one on the ship knows how to handle food, so Schidek currently holds two positions.

The moment Schidek stepped onto the deck, Mu Chong, sitting at the bow, sensed his presence. It wasn't until Schidek left the deck and entered the galley that Mu Chong slowly opened his eyes.

"Hehe!! This old man is no simpleton. No wonder he was a shipbuilder who once served in the navy. He seems to have held a high position. This gravitational field of such weight has no effect on him at all. He's impressive. I'll chat with him later and see if I can learn anything from him?"

A not-so-pure thought flashed through Mu Chong's mind, then he closed his eyes again, muttering to himself.

"Gravity...force...direction...downward...is that right?"

hum...

Splash... The ship suddenly dropped, and the seawater was forced outwards.

boom……

"Hey, Captain, what are you doing?"

Just as Mu Chong was getting into the swing of things, a scream suddenly rang out. Mu Chong quickly turned around to look.

Slad was lying on the deck in agony, his face contorted with a complex mix of pain and grievance.

"Oops, sorry, sorry, I didn't quite control the range of my ability for a moment, hahaha."

Mu Chong covered the back of his head and laughed awkwardly.

"Who's there? Is there an enemy?"

Just then, Schidek, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, rushed out of the kitchen, asking as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Hahaha! Sorry!!"

Mu Chong obediently jumped down from the bow of the ship, and respectfully clasped his hands and bowed to Sidek.

"Young man, watch your hands! You're so clumsy, you almost ruined the food!"

Schidek glanced at Mu Chong, muttered something, and turned to walk back into the kitchen.

Mu Chong rubbed his nose, helped Slad up from the deck, adjusted the gravity field back to its initial weight, and then returned to the bow.

Just now, Mu Chong was contemplating the direction of gravity's application and subconsciously released his power, which led to what happened just now.

"Huh? Something's wrong, Captain..."

Slade, who was training, suddenly sensed something was wrong, before he could finish speaking.

call……

creak...

A gust of wind suddenly picked up, causing the sails on the Liberty's mast to creak and groan. The once clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds, and the calm sea began to churn and ripple. At that moment, it seemed as if something terrible was about to happen.

"Holy crap, no way! How could the weather change so suddenly?!"

Mu Chong stood at the bow of the ship, facing the wind, looking at the dark clouds filling the sky and the sea that was already churning up waves, and said helplessly.

"Captain, a strong wind has picked up! That's just how the weather is on the Grand Line. Quickly, let's all furl the sails! Grandpa, hurry and take control of the ship!!"

Slade, who had somehow already reached the mast, was shouting as he furled the sails.

Upon hearing this, Mu Chong immediately joined in, finding it incredibly exciting as it was his first time at sea.

"This awful weather!!"

Schidek stormed out of the kitchen, cursed, and ran straight into the control room.

The three began to fight against the "gift" that the Grand Line gave to newcomers on their first voyage.
