Chapter 375: Discussing the Great War of the Future
Splash!
As evening fell, the rising tide relentlessly pounded against the hull of the Liberty, the sound amplified by the quiet night.
Mu Chong's words had caused the people sitting together on the deck to fall into deep thought, each with their heads down and brows furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.
Mu Chong didn't disturb them. He leaned back comfortably in his chair, looked up at the starry sky and the moon that was about to become a full moon, and his thoughts drifted far away.
The Straw Hat crew is currently very close to the major battle. At this point, Blackbeard is still focused on capturing Luffy or other pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million Berries, and has not yet encountered Ace.
Mu Chong frowned slightly as he thought of this. If the original plot were to continue as it was, achieving true freedom would take a very long time, at least until the Straw Hat crew reached Elbaf or Laugh Tale.
"Hehehe! Maybe it doesn't have to be that complicated!"
Mu Chong's heart stirred slightly. His eyes glanced at the people sitting on the deck without changing their expression, and a bold idea suddenly arose in his mind as he muttered to himself.
"Hmm! If the Marineford War escalates and those old guys are dragged into the battle, while simultaneously stopping Shanks' attempt to intercept Kaido, what a scene that would be! After all, the Liberty's current strength is enough to handle a major war! I wonder if Dragon is ready..."
Mu Chong put his hands behind his head, looked up at the night sky, and pondered various feasible and impractical ideas. Before he knew it, a long time had passed.
"Hey! Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
After an unknown amount of time, a gentle voice suddenly rang in Mu Chong's ears, interrupting his thoughts. Nico Robin sat down next to him.
Wow! So much time has passed without me even realizing it? Have they all gone to sleep?
Mu Chong smiled as he looked at Nico Robin, then reached out and pulled her into his arms. Now that everyone knew about their relationship, there was no need to pretend anymore.
"Hmm! Everyone saw you were thinking deeply, so they didn't disturb you! They left a while ago. Mumu originally wanted to stay and keep you company, but I told him to go back to sleep!"
Dressed in a white robe, Nico Robin nestled close to Mu Chong's chest, her face radiant with happiness. Mu Chong's reappearance had completely calmed her mind.
"Hmm! That's good! It'll save him from disturbing our time together! Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Chong's lips curled into a smile. He leaned down and kissed Nico Robin on the forehead, then said happily without any restraint.
"Hehehe! Hey! If you have anything on your mind, you can always tell everyone. Although I just boarded the Liberty today, I can feel everyone's support for you as captain! The Liberty needs everyone's concerted efforts to sail further! Besides, we, your crew, are very reliable! Aren't we?"
Nico Robin didn't flinch at Mu Chong's kiss on the forehead; instead, she happily accepted it, as it wasn't the first time. However, her words made Mu Chong's eyes sparkle.
"Phew! Hehehe! Yeah! You're right, Robin! I was indeed overthinking it! Hehehe! Luckily, you're here!"
Mu Chong took a deep breath, completely suppressing the emotions surging in his heart. Robin's words made him feel enlightened, and the light returned to his eyes.
"Tch! With your intelligence, you would have figured it out even without my reminder, and besides, you have a group of decent friends!"
Nico Robin turned her head and glared at Mu Chong, shifting slightly in his arms to find a comfortable position.
"Hahaha! You're right!"
Swish!
Feeling Nicole Robin's movements in his arms, Mu Chong laughed loudly and then disappeared from the bench with her, the echoes of his laughter still lingering on the deck.
As for Mu Chong's habit of developing his Devil Fruit abilities every night, let's end it early today! Taking a day off now and then is always good.
Guaou! Guaou!
The following day at noon, the deck of the Freedom was filled with people who, after a morning of training, were sitting together enjoying a meal.
During this time, Mu Chong told everyone in detail what he had been thinking about the day before. After listening, although everyone's faces were still filled with surprise, they were even more excited.
"Hahaha! Captain! Shall we set off now? I'll handle those five old guys; I'll teach them a lesson in the art of explosion!"
"Hey ha ha ha! Yeah! Captain! Since we're going to go all out, let's go now. My Barrier Fist is itching for a fight!"
"Hahaha! Although this sounds very surprising, if I can have a good, satisfying battle, then my Quick Slash will be just as sharp!"
As soon as Mu Chong finished explaining his ideas, Didac and Bartolomeo started shouting, and even the usually quiet Daz Bonis seemed eager to join in.
"Hahaha! Captain! Is this what you wanted to achieve freedom? I must say, it's quite exciting, but how did you know such a war would break out?"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Crocodile didn't react with the same commotion as the other three. Instead, after a moment's thought, he asked a question.
At the same time, everyone present fell into deep thought, because everything Mu Chong said was based on the premise of a major war. If this war did not occur, then Mu Chong's words would need to be reconsidered.
"Hehehe! Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach, who was once a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, cruelly murdered Thatch, the fourth division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, for a special Devil Fruit. After that, he defected from the Whitebeard Pirates and has been looking for the heads of pirates that he can use as bargaining chips with the Navy in order to obtain the status of a Shichibukai!"
"As for Portgas D. Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, he has left the Whitebeard Pirates and come to the Grand Line in order to capture Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach. Perhaps in the near future, the two will definitely have a battle, and this battle will be the beginning of that great war!"
As Mu Chong spoke, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. This war, in the original work, was a major watershed moment for the One Piece anime.
Some even say that there were no more pirates after the Marineford War.
However, for Mu Chong now, being able to personally participate in this great battle, and even having the ability to change its course, is an incredibly exciting thing.
"Hmm? Captain! Why was the fight between Blackbeard and Portgas D. Ace the beginning of that war? Judging from this, their conflict was merely an internal matter within the Whitebeard Pirates. But according to what you just said, the Navy will also be heavily involved, and may even be gathering the forces of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
After a brief moment of thought, Dick looked up at Mu Chong and slowly began to voice his doubts.
"Hmm! Could it be that their fight will result in both of them being severely injured, and then they'll be captured by the Navy, leading to a major battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy to rescue them!"
After Dick finished speaking, Baku slowly opened his mouth, resting his chin on his hand.
"No! The captain just said that the guy named Blackbeard defected from the Whitebeard Pirates, so Whitebeard won't save him, he'll only save Portgas D. Ace. If Blackbeard cooperates with the Navy and hands Portgas D. Ace over to the Navy, then he can become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, right?"
Caroline, sitting next to them, then spoke up and voiced her guess, causing everyone to pause slightly in surprise.
"Fire Fist Ace? But what does he have that would make the Whitebeard Pirates want to save him? Or what does he have that would make the Navy go to such lengths to start a major war?"
