A thick bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the town of Rogue, which was shrouded in night.
The group of people standing in the square of Rogge Town were clearly illuminated by this light.
"Hahaha! My lord! Your words just now were truly exhilarating! And the aura you exuded on the execution platform just now filled me and my brothers with the utmost respect!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"That's wonderful! My hero!"
As Bartolomeo's voice faded, his group of henchmen immediately echoed him, their eyes gleaming with a bright light.
"Oh? Is that so? Hehehe! I remember you guys aren't pirates yet, are you? What? You're thinking of fighting for that one great treasure too?"
Mu Chong looked at the group of people in strange condition in front of him, crossed his arms, and asked with great interest.
"Hahaha! Such a magnificent thing! Only a great person with a kingly spirit like you deserves to possess it. We will only cheer for you from behind!"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's question, Bartolomeo immediately put on a shy expression, covering the back of his head with one hand and wearing a playful grin.
"Hahahaha! Alright! Stop flattering me! Just tell me what you want to see me about?"
Mu Chong waved at Bartolomeo. Although he understood the guy's personality in the original work, this cloying manner was still making him feel uneasy.
"Yes, sir! Please allow me and my brothers to join your ranks and become your capable lieutenants in your future conquest of the seas!"
"Yes! Please grant us permission to join, sir!"
Faced with Mu Chong's question, Bartolomeo and his group of henchmen suddenly stood up straight, and addressed Mu Chong with utmost solemnity, saying in unison...
call!
Rumble!
A fierce wind howled through the air, thunder rumbled, and terrifying lightning continuously gathered in the thunderclouds, enveloping the entire square of Roguetown in this extremely peculiar atmosphere.
"Hahaha! What an interesting bunch of guys!"
Just then, a discordant voice suddenly joined in from the side, and a dragon in a green cloak slowly approached Mu Chong's side.
"Hey! Who are you? Don't disturb the hero's contemplation, okay?"
As soon as the dragon's roar faded, Bartolomeo strode over with an air of arrogance, his expression as flamboyant as could be when facing the dragon, a stark contrast to his respectful demeanor towards Mu Chong.
"Humph!"
call!
boom!
"Ok?"
Dragon snorted coldly at Bartolomeo's showy behavior and unleashed a whirlwind. However, instead of the expected flying motion, a transparent barrier appeared in front of Bartolomeo, instantly causing a look of astonishment to appear in Dragon's eyes.
"Hahaha! I am the invincible barrier man with the Barrier-Barrier Fruit. What can a mere breeze do to me?"
Bartolomeo stood with his arms crossed over his chest, his index and middle fingers interlaced, and a massive barrier stood before him.
when!when!when!
"Hahahaha! Not bad! Bartolomeo! Your barrier can even block this guy's wind! Hmm! It's really sturdy!"
Mu Chong glanced at the dragon, who was about to attack again, and immediately stepped in front of it, then tapped on Bartolomeo's barrier and slowly said...
Click!
"Wow! The hero's power is incredible! He shattered my barrier in an instant!"
"Amazing! Amazing!"
Just as Mu Chong finished striking, the massive, previously intact barrier shattered instantly, and Bartolomeo's body seemed to fly backward, landing in the arms of a group of underlings, all the while praising...
"Hiss! This... is really..."
The dragon behind Mu Chong was completely dumbfounded by Bartolomeo and his gang's performance.
"Hahahaha! Interesting! Interesting! Hey! Bartolomeo! From now on you can call me Captain! Hop aboard my Liberty!"
Mu Chong ignored the dragon behind him, laughed loudly, and then solemnly addressed Bartolomeo.
"What? What? What did I just hear? Captain? The chivalrous hero told me to call him Captain? Is this recognition? Hehehehe! I've been recognized by the chivalrous hero..."
The moment Bartolomeo heard Mu Chong's words, he could no longer contain his excitement. His body lurched backward with elation, and before he could finish his last sentence, he fainted.
"Hehehe! Interesting! Hey! Take good care of your boss! I have things to do! Someone will come and take you to where you need to go later!"
Mu Chong glanced deeply at Bartolomeo, who had fainted in the arms of his underlings, then slowly addressed the group.
"Yes, Captain!"
These underlings were quite sensible. In their hearts, since the chivalrous hero had acknowledged their leader, he had also acknowledged them, so they immediately changed their address.
"Ok!"
Mu Chong didn't dwell on what the other person called him. After all, only Bartolomeo was on board; as for the underlings, they would definitely be trained by Sky Island or Bellamy.
Swish!
"Hey! Dragon! Goodbye! But don't bully them while I'm not around!"
As Mu Chong turned around, his body slowly rose into the air. He had barely finished speaking to the dragon when he vanished into the vast thunderclouds.
I've done what I wanted to do in Rogge, so my long journey wasn't in vain. As for whether I'll ever return, who knows?
"Hmph! Hero Mu Chong! What kind of person are you? I've met you twice, and you've shown me two completely different sides of yourself! Freedom, you say? If you can get through this crisis, I'd love to fight alongside you in the future!"
Long looked up in the direction where Mu Chong had disappeared, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. After muttering to himself, he turned to glance at Bartolomeo beside him, then his body transformed into a hurricane and vanished.
In an instant, the entire square of Loguetown was left with only a group of gangsters staring at each other.
boom!
Sabaody Archipelago, a brightly lit naval base
In an incredibly eerie atmosphere, Hill Bott, covered in wounds and looking utterly disheveled, was thrown out of his cell by naval soldiers.
"Oh dear! They've already been beaten to this state? You're making things harder for me, Marshal Sengoku!"
Kizaru, who had sped back from Loguetown, glanced strangely at the man lying on the ground, barely alive. Then he looked up at the man, who wore a white justice cloak, frog-like glasses, a long beard tied in a braid, and a military cap, and said...
Indeed, the man appearing at the naval base at this moment was none other than Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who had come from Marineford.
"Kizaru! This guy is yours! Your next task is to control the arrival time in Loguetown! The World Government has already dispatched secret agents, and on the Navy side, Akainu and Chaton have also rushed over! This time, we must make sure that Kizaru and his crew get into Impel Down!"
Sengoku stared intently at Kizaru, his tone resolute, as if everything was under his control.
"Oh? There's only half an hour left before they can make their move. Will the World Government be able to get there in time?"
Upon hearing Sengoku's words, Kizaru raised an eyebrow, his expression remaining unchanged, and slowly asked...
"Hmm! Half an hour might not be enough, but as long as you can get there within half an hour and then stall for a little time, Mu Chong and his gang will have no chance to escape!"
Upon hearing Kizaru's question, a glint flashed in Sengoku's eyes behind his glasses as he stared at Kizaru and said...
"Oh dear! How terrifying! Marshal Sengoku! Are you going to make me face all of them alone again? Last time I almost didn't make it back!"
