Chapter 122: The Terrified Elsa
As soon as Captain Mu Chong made his decision, everyone voiced their support for Aisha, and the entire tavern was filled with laughter and joy.
"Fine wine and delicious food, here they come!"
Just then, the tavern's chef pushed over a large pile of food and enthusiastically served everyone the dishes.
Elsa happily picked up two large pieces of meat and two pieces of fruit, and quickly ran out of the tavern.
Watching Aisha run off, Mu Chong frowned slightly.
"captain?"
Enel, with his strong Observation Haki, immediately noticed the change in Mu Chong's expression and stopped what he was doing, asking...
"Huh? Enel! Did you sense a few lives on that guy outside just now?"
Upon hearing Enel's question, Mu Chong turned his head and asked a strange question.
"Hmm? How many lives?"
Upon hearing the question, Enel paused, then briefly closed his eyes, his Observation Haki instantly spreading out and enveloping the beggar outside.
"One! Captain!"
After a long while, Enel reopened his eyes, looked at Mu Chong, and spoke, but his eyes were full of doubt.
“That’s right! It’s one! But according to the fat man’s description, someone modified by the fusion of the Gluttony Fruit’s power should still have life force, but your Observation Haki and mine only sensed one life. So what about his parents?”
At this point, Mu Chong's face instantly darkened. How could this Walbo be so depraved as to do such a thing?
"Captain, you mean?"
“That’s right. Observation Haki can sense the presence and number of living beings, but your and my Observation Haki only detected one life from that person…”
"what!!!"
Just then, a scream from Elsa suddenly came from outside the tavern.
The moment Mu Chong and the others heard the sound, they rushed out without the slightest hesitation.
When everyone arrived outside the tavern, they saw Elsa sitting on the ground, covering her mouth, staring in astonishment at the beggar at the alley entrance.
Everyone was stunned at first sight, then looked up at the beggar. At that moment, everyone's eyes narrowed and their bodies trembled.
Suddenly, the beggar's black coat hood was removed for some unknown reason, and everyone could clearly see three heads perched on his shoulders. What shocked them most was that two of the heads were covered in deep red scars, their faces completely disfigured.
"Ok?"
Just then, the beggar across the street noticed Mu Chong and his group's arrival. He immediately pulled his coat hood back over his head, glanced at Aisha on the ground, and quickly disappeared at the other end of the alley.
"Enel, use your Observation Haki to lock onto her. We need to find out where she lives!"
As the beggar turned to leave, Mu Chong turned to Enel beside him and said something, then immediately went to Aisha's side and helped her up.
"Captain! She...she..."
"Yes! It's okay! Elsa! We'll talk about it when we get back!"
While calming Aisha's panicked emotions, Mu Chong looked up at the other end of the alley.
"Meow!!!"
"Captain, should I go and take a look?"
Slad slowly walked over, his expression equally grave as he looked towards the end of the alley and asked...
"No need! Slard! I've already had Enel use his Observation Haki to lock onto her. We'll check the situation once she's settled in her location! Let's go! Back!"
After saying this, Mu Chong took a deep look at a certain spot on the street, then led Aisha back to the tavern.
Once everyone was seated again, the tavern was no longer filled with laughter and chatter. Everyone fell silent, and even the food on the table remained untouched.
boom!
"That Walpo is despicable! Doesn't he fear being discovered by the people? Those are two lives!" Slad slammed his hand on the table, his face contorted with rage, and said in a deep voice.
"Hehehe! Interesting! Very interesting! This makes me even more interested in that Devil Fruit! Let's eat something first! I'll go find her after I've filled my stomach!"
Mu Chong swirled the wine in his glass, his face expressionless, revealing neither joy nor anger. He simply spoke a few words calmly.
Hearing Mu Chong's words, the crowd temporarily suppressed their doubts and anger, and began frantically devouring the food on the table, unconsciously mistaking it for Wapol and consuming it.
At the same time, a panicked soldier rushed into a luxurious building; his hurried steps were so fast that even the snow on the ground couldn't stop him.
"Report...Report, Lord Jess! Someone...someone has been in contact with that guy..."
The soldier ran into the luxurious building and stopped in front of a tall man, immediately recounting everything that had just happened on the street.
"What did you say? Someone contacted her? And even gave her food?"
Dressed in green, white, blue, and purple stripes, carrying a longbow and arrows, with thick, wavy lips and long arms, Jess asked in surprise upon hearing the soldier's report.
"Yes! Lord Jess! That group of people were in a tavern in the village, and they looked like unfamiliar faces! Like pirates who just landed on Drum Island!"
The soldier hunched over, answering Jess's questions carefully.
"Hehehe! So you're an outsider. Under the rule of the great King Wapol, the people of the Iron Bucket Kingdom will never contact that guy again, unless they're tired of living! You go and keep an eye on those pirates, I'll go report to King Wapol!"
Jess let out a disdainful laugh, speaking in a somewhat nonchalant tone.
"Yes, Lord Jess!"
Upon hearing Jess's order, the soldier replied and immediately turned and ran out.
Jess then turned and walked into the palace behind him, heading towards Wapol, who was reclining on the sofa.
Inside the palace, Wapol lay on a sofa, two maids feeding him fruit, two rows of soldiers stood nearby, and six men dressed as doctors guarded him from behind.
"Great King Wapol! Unknown pirates have landed on Drum Island and violated your great policy by making contact with the cursed!"
Jess walked to the sofa, bowed, and reported the information he had just heard to Wapol.
"Oh? Hahahaha! What are you talking about? My strategist Jess! Unknown pirates have landed on Drum Island? Did you send people to monitor them? What's their strength?"
Walpo remained comfortably reclined on the sofa, ate a piece of fruit offered by a maid, and loudly asked...
"Great King Valpo, I have already sent men to monitor them. Their strength is still unknown. Should we send troops to drive them out?"
Jess remained hunched over, answering in the same posture.
"Hahaha! For now, let's ignore those pirates and wait for the soldiers monitoring us to send back a message before taking any action. But send someone to warn that guy to stay put and behave himself. If he has any other ideas, then he can die!"
Wapol leisurely ate fruit while giving orders to Jess, his tone turning ruthless towards the end.
"Yes, Your Majesty King Valpo! I will take care of it immediately!"
After Jess finished speaking, he slowly withdrew from the palace.
"Hahahaha! Anyone who disobeys my policies must be severely punished. That cursed person is the best example. I am the ruler of this island!"
Wapol muttered excitedly to himself, seemingly completely unconcerned about the group of pirates who had landed on Drum Island.
On a street in the Iron Bucket Kingdom village, Mu Chong and his group walked slowly forward, their feet sinking into the snow.
"Hey! Enel! Is this the way? Why does it feel like we're leaving the village the further we go?"
Slade kept turning his head to look around, noticing that the buildings were getting fewer and fewer, and then asked Enel in confusion.
"Tch! You idiot navigator! How dare you doubt my Observation Haki? There's no way I could be wrong at such a short distance!"
Enel glanced at Slade, his face alternating between disdain and arrogance.
"Heh! Look how tough you are, Enel! You think your Armament Haki is any better than Baku's!"
"Pfft, hahaha..."
