Chapter 211: Natural Disasters and Man-made Calamities - Natural System

"Hehehe! As expected of Kaido's subordinate, the future Kaido can create a sun god with just three hits. Now, under the strong pressure of Jack the Drought, I wonder how far Baku can improve. I'm really looking forward to it!"

Mu Chong stood proudly at the bow of the Freedom, his eyes fixed on the battlefield while his mind pondered...

"Huh? Captain! There seems to be some activity from the Big Mom Pirates! Charlotte Oven is coming over in person?"

Just then, Slard suddenly pointed to the ice on his left, where he saw a group of people, led by Charlotte Owen, slowly walking towards the Liberty.

"Oh? Hehehe! Is it because you don't want to waste your energy on the frozen ice, or are you so confident in your abilities that you actually stepped off the pirate ship?"

Mu Chong watched Charlotte Owen slowly approach, raised an eyebrow, and muttered to himself...

On the ice, the right side was a scene of constant clashes and battles, while the left side was a scene of leisurely greeting guests—a truly rare sight.

"Captain! What should we do with this guy?"

At this moment, Slad seemed not to have heard what Mu Chong was saying at all. As soon as Mu Chong finished speaking, he rubbed his hands together and continued.

"Hmm? You really want to fight, huh, Slade!"

Sensing Slad's changing emotions, Mu Chong's eyes brightened slightly. He glanced at Slad, then turned back to look at Charlotte Owen, who was slowly approaching.

"Slad! Listen carefully to and remember what I'm about to say!"

"Ok?"

The sudden seriousness in Mu's voice caused Slad's expression to freeze, and then his entire aura instantly changed, a faint aura of dominance appearing.

"what?"

The aura emanating from Slard's body sent a shiver down the spine of the fishman Dick, who had been standing to the side. Dick's pupils dilated instantly, his face filled with disbelief.

Even Enel, who had been staying at the top of the mast, was silently watching this place.

"Charlotte Owen is a high-heat human who ate the Heat-Heat Fruit. He can transfer heat to any object he touches, instantly heating it up. He can also heat himself up, burning anyone he comes into contact with. He can even transfer heat to most parts of the ocean, causing it to boil. He can also heat his target from a distance, burning his opponents!"

Upon hearing what Mu Chong said, a hint of confusion flashed in Slard's eyes. The captain's serious tone meant he wasn't just giving him information about the enemy, was it?

Just as Slad had expected, Mu Chong paused slightly after saying this, then looked up at the churning clouds high in the sky.

"Paramecia-type Devil Fruit users can develop their abilities to the point of altering themselves, influencing things, and even creating objects, while these are not difficult for Logia-type Devil Fruit users! The Cloud-Cloud Fruit is no exception!"

"So, Slade! You're going to fight Charlotte Owen next, and my requirement for you is to make full use of these three points!"

At this point, Mu Chong turned to look at Slad, who was deep in thought, and then continued with a slight smile.

"However, you are not allowed to use Armament Haki or Conqueror's Haki during the battle. You must rely entirely on your Cloud-Cloud Fruit to complete this battle. If you can do that, Charlotte Oven is yours! Hehehe, if you can't, Enel probably wants to fight too!"

hiss!

Slard didn't react much to Mu Chong's words, but they left the fishman Dick standing nearby completely stunned.

Logia-type? Armament Haki? Observation Haki? And Conqueror's Haki, which only one in a million possesses? All of these are concentrated in one person?

"But, hero! Won't such restrictions lead to some unexpected problems?"

Fishman Dick paused in surprise, then spoke to Mu Chong.

Mu Chong didn't answer Dick's question directly. Instead, he smiled and looked at Slad beside him, quietly waiting for the other's reply.

"Hey! Hero Mu Chong! We've come on behalf of Mother to invite you to visit the Kingdom of Ten Thousand. Please disembark and we'd love to talk!"

Just then, a shout suddenly came from the ice below the Liberty. It turned out that while the three were talking, Charlotte Owen and her group had arrived at a short distance from the Liberty's hull.

Hey!

"Hehehe! Captain! Leave the rest to me! After all, as the captain of the Freedom, it would be beneath your dignity to personally deal with these small fry! Besides, I trust your suggestion, Captain, and I also want to see where the Cloud-Cloud Fruit's limits are?"

Just as Mu Chong was about to turn around to face Charlotte Owen below the ship, Slade, with a smile on his face, took a firm step forward and then slowly said...

"Hahahaha! I knew I hadn't made a mistake in choosing the navigator for the Freedom! Remember, Slade! Logia-type abilities, scattered, are natural disasters; united, they are man-made calamities."

Upon hearing Slad's words, Mu Chong's face instantly lit up with a happy smile. He raised his hand and gave Slad a thumbs-up, adding emphatically, "..."

"Hmm? I understand, Captain!"

Mu Chong's last sentence made Slad pause, then his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he nodded heavily.

boom!

Slard confidently replied with a "Mu Chong," lightly stepping onto the deck of the Liberty and leaping directly onto the ice, landing gracefully directly in front of Charlotte Owen and her group.

"Hero! Aren't you worried? Although the opponent isn't one of the Four Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates, he still possesses considerable strength, and besides, he's a Devil Fruit user..."

Seeing Slard leap from the Liberty, the fishman Dick, who had been listening from the deck, stepped forward again and spoke to Mu Chong.

"Dick! To become a strong person, you must have a mindset of constantly striving to improve and become stronger. However, the skillful use of your own abilities and power is only the beginning of the path to becoming a strong person!"

As Mu Chong spoke, he slowly turned around to face Dick, who was taller than him, and stared intently at the fishman he held in high regard.

"It would be a huge regret if we gave up the opportunity to grow because of fear! We would also completely lose the chance to become a true strong person!"

Mu Chong withdrew his gaze from Dick, turned back to face the battlefield ahead, raised his arms, and his white robe fluttered in the wind.

"Of course, danger and opportunity go hand in hand! But that cannot be a reason to give up! Besides, with Enel and me here, the danger is practically zero! Hahahaha! Don't you agree, Enel!"

"whispering sound!"

Mu Chong's words earned him a glare from Enel at the top of the mast. Enel then ignored Mu Chong, instead muttering to himself what Mu Chong had just said.

"Phew! Really? Hahaha! I really envy Slard and Baku! They have a captain like you, a true hero, and partners like Enel! That's wonderful!"

Fishman Dick stared intently at Mu Chong's retreating figure; in that instant, the man before him was etched deeply into Dick's mind.

Dick, a fish-man born from an orca, possesses innate and powerful fighting talent. Now twenty-eight years old, Dick has mastered both fish-man karate and mermaid jujitsu. Furthermore, he has also learned human martial arts from a powerful figure on Garcia Island.

Furthermore, Dick has mastered both Armament Haki and Observation Haki, skills he honed in the ocean.

Therefore, Dick, who possesses such strength, greatly admires those stronger than himself. For example, Jinbe, a fellow fish-man, is respectfully addressed as "boss" by Dick.

At this very moment, however, Mu Chong's image remained deeply etched in Dick's heart.

"Um! Brother Dick... if you also think the Liberty is a good ship, you can stay on this ship!"
