One Piece: Power-Power Fruit

Chapter 161 The Angry Celestial Dragons

Chapter 161: The Enraged Celestial Dragon

boom!

At the critical moment, Enel twisted his body and narrowly missed the white energy pillar.

Enel raised an eyebrow and immediately distanced himself from the opponent, his eyes lingering on Number Four's legs.

"Hehehe! Interesting! A martial art that allows you to change direction in mid-air? Or an ability?"

Enel didn't rush to attack, and seemed to ask himself a question.

"Hmph! I'm a Paramecia-type Jump-Jump Fruit user, and what's coming next is yet to surprise you! Prepare to die, pirate!"

boom!

The understanding Number Four directly answered Enel's question, and then launched himself out again as he spoke.

"Hmm? Just as the captain said, there really is someone who proactively reveals their abilities?"

boom!

Enel's eyes lit up, and without further ado, he swung his fist, which was coated in Armament Haki, and charged forward.

boom! boom! boom!

One was determined to kill the other, while the other was focused on honing his martial arts skills; for a time, the two fought evenly.

In contrast to the bustling activity on the decks of the World Government ships, the approaching Freedom was much quieter.

"Baku! Board the ship and catch any survivors. No one needs to be alive on this ship!"

The Freedom was parked not far from the World Government ships. Mu Chong turned to Baku and said...

"Understood, Captain!"

After a deep, composed reply, Baku leaped from the deck of the Liberty and headed straight for the opposite ship.

"Meow!!!"

"Hmm? You want to go too? Hahahaha! Come on! I'll take you! Belinda, Aisha, you two stay on the Liberty, be careful!"

Sensing the meaning of the white cat Mumu, Mu Chong raised his hand and patted its big head. Then, he said something to the two people behind him and flew over without waiting for their reply.

The World Government's ship was already badly damaged; the two intense collisions had nearly shattered it.

At the stern, the battle between Slard and Vice Admiral Lorian intensified. Both wielded iron rods and machetes, employing wide, sweeping attacks that drew the attention of everyone around them.

Near the bow, Enel's fight with Number Four resembled a training exercise. Although Enel chose not to use his Devil Fruit power, his Observation Haki made him someone Number Four couldn't easily injure. Moreover, Enel's physical skills were also formidable.

Compared to those two locations, the center of the ship was much safer, where the naval soldiers and men in dress uniforms who had survived the explosion were located.

However, with the arrival of Baku and the white cat Mumu, this place gradually turned into a land of death.

Mu Chong, with the white snake at his waist in his left hand, strolled leisurely towards the cabin, as if the surrounding noise had nothing to do with him.

"Hmm? A World Government ship is here, guarded by two pretty strong guys. So there must be either important people or important things on board. Hehehe, let's see what they are!"

As Mu Chong pondered, his eyes gradually brightened. Without further hesitation, he stepped directly into the cabin.

boom!

The moment Mu Chong stepped into the cabin, a bullet flew straight at his face.

"Humph!"

hum!

Mu Chong didn't move at all; he merely let out a cold snort, and the scorching bullet stopped right in front of him.

"Huh! This???"

Just as the shooter watched in horror, the bullet hovering in front of Mu Chong was propelled by a force, returning along its original path and piercing his chest.

puff!

boom!

"Hehehe! How rude! A sneak attack? But you've picked the wrong person!"

As Mu Chong spoke, he slowly walked towards the man in formal attire who had collapsed beside the wooden planks of the cabin.

"Cough cough... You, you can't kill me! I, I am a servant of God, if you dare to kill me, God will not forgive you!"

Despite the man in the tuxedo struggling to move backward, his eyes filled with fear, he continued to utter threatening words.

"Gods? Celestial Dragons! Then this ship must be a ship that serves the Celestial Dragons, right?"

Mu Chong stopped in front of the man in the tuxedo and spoke calmly.

"Cough cough... No, that's right! This ship is for the gods to collect heavenly gold, and I am the god's servant, so you can't kill me, or you'll be wanted by the gods!"

The man in the tuxedo clutched the bleeding wound on his chest, his tone gradually hardening, revealing a blind confidence.

"Hahahaha! I see! So this ship contains the Celestial Dragons' Heavenly Gold? Heh! However, you seem to have overestimated your own worth and the threat the Celestial Dragons pose to me!"

"You?...No..."

puff!

A flash of light, and a drop of bright red blood slid from the blade of the white snake.

He then sheathed his sword, and the man in the tuxedo slid his head off. He died without ever knowing who he had offended.

Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah!

Just then, the voice of a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) rang out from the man in the tuxedo.

"Ok?"

Mu Chong raised an eyebrow, raised his right hand, and activated his Power-Power Fruit ability. A silver-white Den Den Mushi with gold trim flew from the man in the tuxedo into Mu Chong's hand.

quack!

"Hey! Felice, you piece of trash! You must ensure the safety of the Celestial Gold for me! I've already notified the Five Elders to send troops to support us. If those bastards manage to steal the Celestial Gold before then, you can just die! Hey? Felice? Are you listening, Felice?"

The moment the Den Den Mushi connected, a furious roar erupted from the other end. The Den Den Mushi's lifelike appearance was further marred by spittle flying everywhere; it was incredibly ugly.

"Hello? Felice?..."

boom!

"Tch! I thought it was one of the Five Elders, but it's just a stupid pig. How boring!"

Just as the other party started calling again, Mu Chong crushed the Den Den Mushi, then casually tossed it aside and walked out of the cabin without even looking back.

Meanwhile, in a lavishly decorated palace in Mary Geoise, Celestial Dragon Charles Saint stared blankly at the silent Den Den Mushi in his hand, then angrily slammed it to the ground.

"Damn it! That damned Felice dared to hang up on me! I'll make him die, make him die!"

An angry roar echoed throughout the palace, but no one dared to step forward and speak.

"Someone! Go and inform the Five Elders again. Tell the men you sent out to kill everyone on that ship. All I want is the Heavenly Gold!"

The consequence of Charles Martel's anger was that the Five Elders notified Marine Headquarters, which then ordered naval bases along the Grand Line to send reinforcements. Whether they could actually find them, who knows?

Meanwhile, in another part of Mary Geoise, inside a luxurious palace, the Five Elders were having a conversation.

"Who is the CP member in charge of this Heavenly Gold event for Charmark Saint? Under such circumstances, not a single piece of information has come in; this is dereliction of duty!"

The blond-haired Saint Pitt paused slightly, then asked with a serious expression.

"Hmm? It's CP0's third team, number four. Because his strength improvement was slow, he was assigned to Charlmark Saint!"

The bald, obese Saint Volcholi looked up at the other person and then spoke.

"Number Four? In this situation, the fact that Number Four couldn't notify us clearly means the other side is quite strong. Can you find out which pirate crew it is?"

After hearing the other party's words, Piet Saint pondered for a moment and then spoke again.

"We've already notified the Navy by phone, and they'll dispatch naval forces from a nearby base. However, we don't currently have any information about the other side!"

The Saint Satan, with his curly hair, spoke calmly and slowly.

"Hmph! No matter who it is! Those bastards who dare to touch the Heavenly Gold will not be let off lightly!"

"Agreed!!"

While the Five Elders were discussing countermeasures, the battle on the high seas was drawing to a close.

Despite trading blows for injuries, Slad knocked out Lieutenant General Lorian with a single blow, and was himself covered in wounds. However, lying on his back on the deck, Slad wore a happy smile.

"Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters! Hahahaha! No longer the figure I once looked up to! Grandpa, Father, I did it! Hahahaha!"

Meanwhile, Enel, having thoroughly understood his opponent's fighting style, unleashed his full power. Although Android 4 possessed incredible speed thanks to the Jump-Jump Fruit, he was still defeated by Enel.

"Phew! Although it took some time, it was still a good experience to practice hand-to-hand combat. I'll spare your life for now. As for the Devil Fruit user? I'll give that to the captain!"

With Baku and White Cat Mumu finishing off the remaining enemies, the World Government ships were finally captured by Mumu and her crew.
