Chapter 61: The Priest's Terrifying "Mind Web"

"Locas!"

"Asura!"

At the very moment the two fell, two urgent voices came from two different directions.

"Huh? You're taking so long!"

Mu Chong's gaze quickly shifted to the depths of Apayado, where three figures were rapidly approaching.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Three consecutive collisions rang out, and Slad, Hilbert, and Baku jumped off the Liberty and landed on the ground.

Go ahead! Be careful!

Sitting on the edge of the Freedom ship, Mu Chong watched the three people jump off and nodded slightly.

Then, he lightly raised his right hand, activating the Power-Power Fruit's power. A white halo instantly enveloped Locas, and the flames that had been burning on his body were extinguished with a "poof." His body then floated up and was carried onto the deck by Mu Chong.

"Please, sir!"

Mu Chong spoke slowly to Skedek, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes. Locas's injuries were extremely severe; judging from the current situation, he had lost the ability to fight again.

"Meow!!"

"Don't worry, Brother Mu, leave it to the old man!"

Without the slightest hesitation, with the help of the white cat Mumu, Skedek quickly brought Locas into the Freedom's cabin for treatment.

Having received a response from Schidek, Mu Chong said nothing more. Instead, he pushed off with his feet, leaping into the air and landing on a thick tree branch. He then stood there, arms crossed, looking down at the six people who had already made contact with him.

"Hmm? The other three high priests are all here. Enel is really giving me face. I just wonder how long you can hold out before you show up!"

As Mu Chong spoke, he unleashed his Observation Haki without reservation, completely enveloping the area. He wouldn't let his guard down against the elusive lightning.

"Roar, roar! So you're the damned invaders! Who hurt Shura?"

The obese Shadley's previously playful face instantly hardened with ferocity. Although the four of them constantly bickered, their bond remained strong. Now that Shura was severely injured, Shadley was consumed by rage and spoke harshly.

"Hmph, I suppose the three of you didn't come here to welcome us, did you? Even if we hadn't fought the Asura you mentioned, I imagine you wouldn't have been so polite, would you?"

Hill Bot took the first step forward, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and stared sharply at the three priests before him.

"Ignorant invader, you will pay the price for your arrogance. Surrender obediently and come back with us to meet our 'god,' or die!"

Bald Ohm slowly drew his white longsword, the tip pointing directly at Hill Bot and the other two.

"Roar, roar! Why waste words with them, Ohm? Just take them down!"

"Surprising Cloud - Snake Strike"

As the obese Shadley's voice faded, he pulled a sphere from somewhere, then waved it forward. A large white snake flew out of the sphere, heading straight for Hill Bot and his two companions.

"Roar, I'll do it!"

boom!

Seeing the giant snake flying towards him, Baku didn't hesitate for a moment. He roared, stomped his feet on the ground, and sprinted forward, his right fist slamming directly into the snake's head.

boom!

The immense force blasted the snake's head apart, and Baku was forced back two steps, a visible wound appearing on his right hand. Ignoring the injury, Baku charged at Shadley once more.

"Roar, roar! You're quite powerful, intruder! Then I, Shadley, will play with you!"

Shadri was momentarily stunned to see his giant snake explode with a single punch, but his movements didn't falter. A burst of air suddenly shot out from beneath his feet, propelling him into the air as he hurtled towards Baku.

"Iron Whip!"

Just as Baku charged toward Shadley, Ohm, who was standing to the side, suddenly swung his white longsword, which instantly transformed into a whip-like strike aimed at Baku.

"You can't interrupt my partner's battle, get lost!"

"shave!"

As Ohm lashed out with his white whip, Slad charged at him, his two-meter-long iron rod slamming down with lightning speed. If that blow landed, Ohm would be severely injured.

A white light flashed in Ohm's eyes behind his sunglasses. He decisively abandoned his attack on Baku, and just before the iron rod fell, he dodged away perfectly.

"Hmm? Observation Haki?"

Slad, whose strike missed its mark, noticed his opponent's evasive maneuver and his expression instantly turned serious. He wasn't some clueless novice; thanks to Mu Chong's rigorous training and his natural sensitivity to the surrounding air, he immediately understood the ability his opponent was using.

"Hmph, ignorant intruders! What nonsense about Observation Haki? This is the Mind Network taught by 'God'!"

Ohm sheathed his sword and stood still, ignoring Shadley who was already fighting beside him. His eyes were fixed on Slad, who was also standing with a club in hand. The flames of battle were burning fiercely between them.

"Hehehe! You two have your opponents now, so I'll leave the last one to you, Gaidaz! Huh? Where did he go?"

Gaidaz, with his spider-like hair, sneered at Hill Bott, but the wide roll of his eyes obscured Hill Bott's view.

"Uh! An opportunity!"

Hill Bot didn't stop to give his opponent a chance to adjust. Taking advantage of the opponent's panic, he quickly closed in and swung a punch at his face. But just as his fist was about to hit Gadaz, the latter miraculously dodged it.

"Hehehe! Foolish intruder, you can't attack me with my 'Mind Network'!"

"Jet Fist!"

boom!

boom!

As Gaidaz finished speaking, Hill Bott saw a fist slowly moving towards him, but the next moment that fist slammed into his stomach.

boom!

The immense impact sent Hill Bot flying, crashing into a nearby tree with a thud before tumbling several times before coming to a stop.

“Hill Bot!”

Baku punched a white iron sword away, and seeing Hill Bott being blasted away, he instinctively turned his head and shouted.

"Roar, roar! Foolish invaders, losing focus in battle can cost you your life!"

"Impact Shell - Palm Strike"

Shadley's sinister voice sounded behind Baku, and a hand wearing a yellow glove pressed against Baku's back.

boom!

boom!

"Waaah..."

The next moment, a burst of air shot out from Shadley's palm, slamming directly into Baku's back. The immense impact sent Baku flying.

boom!

Baku crashed to the ground a short distance away, and a large hole was visibly torn in the back of his clothes.

"Cough cough cough! Damn it! Roar!"

Despite his severe injuries, Baku only paused briefly on the ground before rising again and charging towards Shadley.

"Huh? Roar, roar! It was hit by the full force of the Impact Shell, yet it's completely unharmed? What kind of body is this?"

At this moment, Shadley was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but shout loudly, but when he sensed Bakuna's attack speed, his surprised expression disappeared immediately.

"Roar, roar! One attack isn't enough, then try a few more! With your speed, you can't possibly hit me, intruder! Roar, roar!"

As soon as Shadley finished speaking, his feet shot out air again, accelerating him once more, and the next second he collided head-on with Baku.

But this time Baku's attack missed again. For Shadley, who possessed the "Mind Network," dodging Baku's attacks was far too easy.

"Roar, roar! Too slow, you foolish intruders!"

"Impact Shell - Palm Strike!"

boom!

boom!

This time, Shadley's palm pressed directly onto Baku's stomach, and a powerful air blast resounded, striking him squarely with a loud bang.

"Ugh... Pfft..."

The immense force caused Baku to grimace in pain, his body flying backward uncontrollably, crashing to the ground again, spitting out a mouthful of blood. At that moment, Baku lay motionless on the ground.
