Chapter 111: The Booger Man's Abilities

Mu Chong berated Kobula from his superior position. At first, the old man would feign displeasure and offer a few words of explanation, but eventually he collapsed to the ground, realizing he was powerless to refute anything the man was saying.

So much so that when Mu Chong packed up all the sea stone in front of him and took it away, he didn't say a word to stop him. He just sat on the ground, motionless, as if his soul had been ripped out.

"gallant!"

Seeing Mu Chong walking towards her, Robin, who had already finished reading the Poneglyph, quickly spoke up.

"Hero! This historical text records the location of the ancient weapon Pluto, it is..."

"I know! Robin! I know the contents of this Poneglyph, and I know where Pluto is right now, hahaha! I brought you here to fulfill your wish to read the Poneglyph, how about it? Happy?"

Mu Chong waved his hand at Robin, refusing her request to recount the contents of the historical text, and then said sincerely with his eyes...

"Ok!"

"Hahahaha! Let's go! We've taken what we needed to take, seen what we needed to see, and said what we needed to say! We don't need to stay here in this dark place anymore!"

Mu Chong glanced at Cobra in the shadows, then spoke to Robin before taking a step towards the outside of the underground chamber.

"Okay!"

A happy smile spread across Robin's face, a hint of tenderness in her eyes. She followed closely behind Mu Chong, glancing at his back every now and then.

Behind them, a huge package floated in the air, accompanying them out of the secret chamber.

Ignoring the kingdom's guardian deity, Gaka, at the entrance, the two went to the palace hall and sat down on their own.

Boom!

"Huh? What's this?"

Robin looked at the package on the table with curiosity in his eyes. What else in the secret room could possibly interest this man?

"Hmm? This? Hahahaha! I didn't expect the Alabasta Kingdom to actually have Seastone stored away, and that Cobra guy even put it on the third floor of a secret chamber. What a waste!"

Mu Chong leaned back in his chair, legs crossed, and slowly spoke when he heard Robin's question.

"Seastone? It's said to be a magical stone that prevents ability users from using their powers?"

Robin looked on in surprise, staring at the package in front of him with disbelief in his eyes.

"Hahaha! As expected of Robin! She even knows the uses of Seastone so clearly, she's really amazing!"

Mu Chong's lips curled slightly upwards as he subtly praised Robin, his eyes fixed on her reaction.

Indeed, it's true that girls need more emotional support!

Da da da!

"Hero! I apologize for the long wait. Here is the Devil Fruit encyclopedia you requested! I'm so sorry, it's incomplete!"

Just then, Kobra emerged from behind the palace, holding a book in his hand. He placed the book in front of Mu Chong and slowly said...

"Hahaha! It's nothing, it's nothing! Oh, by the way, Cobra! Do you know what the Heavenly King, one of the Ancient Weapons, is?"

Mu Chong took the Devil Fruit illustration book, flipping through it as he asked a question in a very calm tone.

However, when Mu Chong asked the question, the entire palace fell silent instantly. Mu Chong could clearly hear Kobra's heavy breathing.

"A...a chivalrous hero...this, I don't know!"

Cobra used almost all his strength to make himself clear.

"Tch! Relax, relax! I was just asking! Hahaha! Look how nervous you are, do you think I'm going to go and see the power struggles?"

Clang!

No sooner had Mu Chong finished speaking than Kobula, who had just sat down, stood up abruptly, knocking over the chair he had just sat on due to the sudden movement.

Kobra's actions drew everyone's attention to him in the palace, except for Mu Chong.

"Hmph! Hero, who exactly are you? How do you even know that? Logically speaking, a fledgling pirate like you should be unfamiliar with that, but judging from your tone, you seem to know everything. So, who exactly are you?"

Cobra paid no attention to the chair behind him, his eyes fixed on Mu Chong. This man was incredibly mysterious to him at that moment, and Cobra panicked.

The others in the palace also looked at Mu Chong in disbelief. They were surprised that this man could frighten King Kobra so much with just a few words.

Robin, sitting next to Mu Chong, didn't show the same incredulous surprise. Instead, he looked at Mu Chong with great curiosity. This man was too mysterious.

"Hehehe! First of all, I'm not a pirate. Secondly, I am who I am, and I'm sitting right in front of you. As for how I know that, hahahahaha! Who knows!"

Mu Chong didn't even look up as he spoke, his eyes fixed on the constantly flipping through the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, before he said in a relaxed tone...

"Hmph! Hero! No matter who you are, that place is beyond your reach now, if you want to live!"

Kobra took a deep breath, stared at Mu Chong, and slowly spoke, his tone much heavier.

"Hahahaha! Maybe! Huh? Found it!"

Mu Chong's hand, which was flipping through the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, suddenly stopped. His eyes instantly brightened, and he reached into his pocket, taking out the Devil Fruit he had just obtained in the secret room.

"A Paramecia-type Bomb-Bomb Fruit! Wait, I remember this Devil Fruit was eaten by one of Crocodile's henchmen! No wonder I didn't see Booger among the remaining members of Baroque Works! Hahahaha! It's mine now!"

Mu Chong grew increasingly fond of the Devil Fruit in his hand, which allowed him to make any part of his body explode, even his exhaled breath could cause an explosion. Yet, that man had forcibly turned it into something more useful for picking his nose.

"It is said that after a Devil Fruit user dies, the Devil Fruit will be reborn anywhere in the sea. I never expected that this Devil Fruit would be reborn in the kingdom's secret chamber!"

Robin, watching the delighted Mu Chong, marveled at the wonder of fate. Perhaps this fruit truly was destined for the man before her.

Meanwhile, Cobra, sitting opposite him, looked utterly heartbroken. That was a Devil Fruit! It had just slipped right under his nose!

"Hahaha! This trip was worth it! Hey, we should go, Robin! Such a happy occasion definitely deserves a celebration party! Hahaha!"

Mu Chong put the Devil Fruit back into his pocket, then stood up and happily said to Robin, before waving his hand. The Seastone envelope floated back into the air, and he followed Mu Chong out of the palace.

Robin also stood up, bowed to Cobra, picked up the Devil Fruit encyclopedia from the table, and left the palace.

"Alas! I don't know whether letting them see the historical text is a blessing or a curse? I hope that you, sir, will use it for good!"

Cobra gazed intently at the two departing figures, and said with a hint of worry in his voice.

"Your Majesty, should we send someone to detain him?"

The adjutant standing behind him, Jaka, quietly walked to Cobra's side, and as he spoke, raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture.

"No, Jaka! You are no match for him. Even if the entire kingdom's army were to be mobilized, it would only increase the number of deaths. A hero is not a weakling!"

Cobra's face was grave. He placed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and seemed to be talking to himself.

"Sigh! Let it be! Jaka! Any news from Vivi?"

"Your Majesty, not yet! I have sent people to check, and I expect to receive a reply soon!"

Upon hearing Cobra's question, the adjutant, Jaka, immediately stepped forward and replied.

"Yes! Keep a close eye on it, and report back immediately if there's any news!"

Kobra responded softly, then fell into deep thought again, pondering what Mu Chong had said to him in the secret chamber.

"Nefit D. Lily..."
