Chapter 69 Stay! Hill Bot
Chapter Sixty-Nine: Stay! Hill Bot
After leaving the Ark's Proverb, Mu Chong and his companions flew straight towards the Freedom. Although Enel was still very weak, the presence of the cloud beneath his feet did not hinder his flight.
At first, this guy was unwilling to accept Slad's help, but when he saw Mu Chong lying comfortably on the white cloud, he chose to compromise with envy in his eyes and reluctantly accepted Slad's cloud. This made Slad so angry that he almost threw him out.
With Slard's cloud presence, the three flew very fast and soon arrived above the Freedom.
"Meow!!!"
White Cat Mumu was the first to spot Mu Chong and his two companions flying in from the sky, and excitedly jumped and danced on the deck.
"The captain is back!"
"Hey, who's that next to Slade?"
"Isn't that... Apayado's 'god'? How come it came back with the captain?"
The people on the deck of the Liberty smiled happily upon seeing Mu Chong and his two companions, but their expressions became even more interesting when they saw Enel.
Hey everyone! How are you all doing? Have you missed us?
As Mu Chong's voice rang out, the three landed on the deck of the Freedom.
Mu Chong was nearly 1.9 meters tall at this point, while Slad and Enel behind him were 2.3 meters and 2.66 meters tall respectively. Mu Chong and Slad were both dressed in white robes, while Enel was shirtless and wore white pants. It's worth noting that the thunder drum on Enel's back disappeared after Mu Chong destroyed it.
The three men standing there, three undeniably handsome men, instantly made the deck of the Freedom shine.
"Haha! Brother Mu really knows how to keep surprising people!"
Now, at the very back of the group, Schidek took a deep drag on his cigarette, looked at the newcomer Enel, and a hint of melancholy appeared on his face.
"Everyone! Let me formally introduce you. This is Enel, the official shipwright of the Liberty. From now on, he will be in charge of looking after the Liberty! His strength goes without saying, and his character is also pretty good, hahaha! In short, he's a reliable partner!"
Mu Chong moved aside, revealing Enel behind him, and formally introduced him.
"Ah! Everyone! Please take care of me from now on!"
Enel glanced at Mu Chong, inwardly scoffing, "What do you mean 'good character'? Am I that bad?" But he still formally greeted him.
"Hey, do you have a penchant for nudity? Why aren't you wearing clothes? And shoes too..."
Locas started by throwing out a royal flush, his face contorted with an irritating expression.
"Captain, may I punch him?"
Enel picked his nose and asked Mu Chong beside him, lightning already appearing on his body.
"Hahaha! Young man, don't be so hot-tempered. Come, come, let's discuss the modifications of the Liberty with this old man!"
At this moment, Schidek came up, reached out and forcefully pulled Enel towards the ship's control room.
"Hahaha! Enel, this is Skedek, he has a wealth of shipbuilding experience. Go with him, the refit of the Liberty is up to the two of you!"
Ignoring Enel's disdainful look, Mu Chong walked towards the chair under the mast, saying as he went.
Hearing Mu Chong's words, Enel snorted softly, sized up the old man pulling him up and down, and silently followed him.
"Slad, use your abilities to lift the Liberty to Apayado, dock the ship there, and then we'll go find the Golden City together!"
Mu Chong sat in a chair and said something to Slad, who was already resting on the deck.
Upon hearing this, Slad, without the slightest hesitation, raised his right hand without moving.
In an instant, Slard's right hand transformed into a pure white cloud resembling a cloud path, and a large amount of white cloud gathered towards the hull of the Liberty.
Boom!
In just a moment, the Liberty began to rise, and then, supported by the enormous clouds, it slowly began to fly towards Apayado.
"Wow! That's amazing, Slade! This ability is incredible; now the Freedom can fly!"
Locas quickly ran to the edge of the Liberty, looked down at the thick white clouds, and sighed repeatedly.
Looking at Slade, who had just withdrawn his right hand, he was panting heavily, with beads of sweat on his forehead. Dragging the Liberty into flight was proving quite strenuous for him.
"Hahaha! Your stamina is still lacking, Slade! You're already panting after just lifting the Liberty!"
Mu Chong looked at Slad's expression, his brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed, and he slowly said...
"Phew! I wish I had your monstrous physique, Captain. I only ate a Devil Fruit not long ago, so I'm already pretty good, aren't I!"
Slad took a deep breath and said helplessly to Mu Chong.
"Not enough, Slade! You must remember that no matter what kind of Devil Fruit power you have, you need a strong physique to support it. Never think that you have become a strong person just because you ate a Logia-type Devil Fruit. You will die a terrible death if you do. Enel is a living example!"
Mu Chong's tone was somewhat serious; there were some things he needed to tell this guy beforehand.
"Phew! Got it, Captain!"
Slad took a deep breath and replied solemnly, "This guy's advantage is that Mu Chong..."
"Not enough! The gravity training will be doubled from now on. Want to have my physique? Hmph! Then be prepared to die!"
Mu Chong's lips curled up slightly, and a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes, but it cleared up again in the next moment.
Ignoring Slad, who was lost in thought, Mu Chong turned to Hill Bot, Locas, and Baku and beckoned them closer.
"captain!"
Hill Bott adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses; he could sense what Mu Chong was about to instruct, and perhaps he could even guess.
“Hill Bot, Locas!”
Mu Chong raised his head and looked at the two men with a serious expression. Since boarding the ship, these two had been diligent and conscientious, and had earned everyone's recognition in every aspect.
"Does the captain want me and Locas to stay here?"
Just as Mu Chong hesitated to speak, Hill Bot spoke first.
"Oh? Tell me your thoughts, Hill Bot!"
Mu Chong's eyes lit up. He didn't interrupt Hill Bot's thoughts, but gestured for him to continue. Locas, who was standing next to him, was also listening attentively.
Hill Bot didn't speak immediately. Instead, he glanced around, gently adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Captain, Sky Island is a great place! It's located 10,000 meters above the ocean, and few people have the ability to reach it, which adds a layer of security to it. In addition, along with the unique combat equipment we've encountered on the Sky Island and the inexhaustible gold from the Golden Land, it's truly an excellent base camp!"
Hill Bott wore a confident smile, his eyes gleaming.
"Go on!"
Looking at the eloquent Hill Bott, Mu Chong's confidence soared. It seemed that entrusting the task to him was the right decision.
"Captain, now that you have brought the 'god' of Skypiea, Enel, the shipwright of the Freedom, down to the Blue Sea, this place will lose its ruler. Without the oppression from above, those ambitious guys on Skypiea will start an unpredictable war. But if you can stop this war, you will gain new control over Skypiea and thus take over this place!"
What happens after the occupation?
"First, because of the existence of the Golden City, the Freedom will have enough money to support it on the high seas. Second, it can also serve as a training ground for the strong. Its location is safer than any island on the high seas. Finally, when the captain needs a sky island, a force capable of shaking the world will descend upon Qinghai!"
At this point, Hill Bot opened his arms wide with excitement, looking at Mu Chong with immense emotion, and then bowed deeply to him.
Snapped!
"Hahaha! I knew I hadn't misjudged you, Hill Bot. You're right, I do intend to make this our base. But you're wrong about one thing: simply using force to suppress them will only breed resentment among the people below. A combination of kindness and severity is the way of governance for those in power!"
