Chapter 114: Live Well
Quack quack quack!
Several seagulls flew over the sea, circled the coastline once, and then soared back into the azure sky.
At the port of the Kingdom of Alabasta, the long-unseen Freedom was happily welcoming its companions.
"Hey! Slade! Is the food all packed?"
Standing on the harbor, Mu Chong shouted to Slade, who was standing on the deck of the Liberty, "..."
"Hey! Report to the ship! The food has been loaded, everyone's already on board, just waiting for you!"
Slad gripped the edge of the boat with one hand, raised the other high towards the wooden boat, and shouted loudly at the same time.
"Hahaha! Let's go! But we have to say goodbye to our friends before we leave, right?"
With a happy smile on his face, Mu Chong responded to Slad and slowly walked towards the group of people beside him.
"Hey! Gal Dino, you really don't want to board my ship? My ship is much better than Sha Crocodile's! How about it? Think it over!"
The people standing beside them were the remaining members of Baroque Works. Even Mu Chong hadn't expected that these guys would come to see them off at sea.
"Huh? Hahaha! My lord, please don't joke like that. My captain is none other than Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
Gardiner was surprised that Mu Chong would invite him onto the ship so directly; his face showed astonishment, and the topknot on his head turned into an exclamation mark.
"Oh! Really? Tch! What a pity! What a pity!"
Upon hearing Gal Dino's refusal, Mu Chong's face showed a very dejected expression. Picking his nose, he walked over to the angry-looking Sha Crocodile.
"Hahaha! How does it feel to be rejected, you scoundrel! Trying to recruit my men right in front of me, do you want to taste the sand?"
Shakkyal, with a lit cigar dangling from his mouth, wore a smug smile as he saw Mu Chong rejected.
"Tch! What? Your scars have healed, and you've already forgotten the pain? Crocodile! I don't mind keeping you in bed for a few more days!"
Mu Chong glanced expressionlessly at the smug Crocodile, pointed to the bandages on his body, and mercilessly mocked him.
"Hahaha! You bastard, hero! I've found that the words coming out of your mouth are particularly unpleasant to hear, I really want to tear you to shreds! Get lost!"
Crocodile exhaled a puff of smoke, looking down at Mu Chong with an extremely arrogant expression.
It's impossible to know exactly how much Crocodile has changed because of Mu Chong, but judging from his current attitude towards Mu Chong, it's clear that he has taken Mu Chong's words to heart.
Perhaps this guy has already started to change, but just hasn't shown it yet; perhaps he hasn't changed at all, and is just waiting for Mu Chong to leave before going back to his old ways. Who knows?
"Hahaha! Hey! Old Sha! Don't try anything funny with what you promised me! Otherwise, I'll come back from the ends of the earth and give you another beating!"
Mu Chong stared intently at Crocodile until the latter's expression began to contort before slowly speaking, extending his right hand towards him.
call!
A gust of wind blew by; after a night of torrential rain, the air on the island had lost much of its dryness, and the cool breeze ruffled Shakrodall's coat.
Snapped!
"Hmph! I don't need you to remind me!"
After staring at Mu Chong for a while, Crocodile finally extended his right hand and clapped it on Mu Chong's palm.
"Hahahaha! You're quite interesting, aren't you? Crocodile! I'll be waiting for you in the New World!"
Mu Chong laughed loudly, then turned and slowly walked towards Robin, who had been standing quietly to the side.
"Hehehe! My esteemed hero! Have a safe journey!"
Robin smiled; she seemed more mature than when they first met. Their conversation over the night had brought them closer.
Mu Chong stopped in front of Robin, smiling at him, but his eyes held a complex expression, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.
Meanwhile, the deck of the Freedom became lively as Slad and his group stared at Mu Chong and Robin with shining eyes.
"Hey! Do you think that woman will accept the captain's invitation? Hmm! I guess not!"
Slade looked on with a gossipy expression, practically leaning over the edge of the Liberty.
"Huh? Why? Slade!"
Baku scratched the back of his head, looking puzzled, and asked...
"Hehehehe, because the captain's charm couldn't attract that woman. If it were me..."
boom!
"Ouch! Who hit me!"
"Meow!!!"
"Tch! How shameful, Slade!"
"Foolish boatman!"
The crowd was in a noisy, chaotic state, and no one was discussing Mu Chong and Robin, but their eyes kept glancing towards the shore.
"Ah! You really won't come with me? Robin! You know me! I don't care about the Poneglyphs or anything like that, all I care about is you!"
Mu Chong opened his arms wide, almost confessing his feelings, and invited Robin again, his face full of sincerity.
"Hehehe! Didn't we agree that you wouldn't invite me onto your ship again? I've had a very pleasant few days with you, that's enough! Captain Mu Chong!"
Robin stood with his hands hanging down in front of him, a happy smile on his face, his bright eyes gazing intently at Mu Chong.
"Tch! Hahahaha..."
Hearing Robin's repeated rejection, Mu Chong lowered his head in disappointment. But when he heard the last four words of Robin's words, Mu Chong raised his head again and burst into laughter, a clear and hearty laugh.
After a long while, Mu Chong stopped laughing, slowly stepped forward, opened his arms again, and gently hugged Robin into his embrace.
Then, Mu Chong slowly brought his mouth close to Robin's ear and whispered a sentence. He then lightly tapped his feet, and his body flew backward.
"what!!!"
The moment Robin heard Mu Chong's words, she was so overjoyed that she lost her voice. The next moment, tears welled up in her eyes, and her face was filled with a mixture of shock and joy.
Robin, suppressing her trembling body from panic, strained her eyes wide, trying to see Mu Chong clearly through her tear-filled gaze, her eyes filled with expectation, longing for a definite answer.
"Remember! Live well! Believe me! That person is always waiting for you! And I'm waiting for you too! Hahahaha!"
As the Liberty flew through the air with its back to the ship, Mu Chong opened his arms, looked at Robin who was already crying her eyes out, and shouted loudly with a smile, his tone full of determination.
"I know! I know! I know! Waaah... Thank you... Thank you..."
Watching Mu Chong walk away and hearing his resolute reply, a blissful smile finally appeared on Robin's tear-streaked face. Then, with all her might, Robin shouted loudly at Mu Chong.
At this moment, the wandering heart found its home.
At this moment, the lonely figure found a haven.
At this moment, light illuminated the darkness ahead.
The Liberty disappeared on the distant horizon, but for Robin at that moment, the loneliness and anxiety were gone; life had a future again.
"Meow!!!"
At the stern of the Freedom, the white cat Mumu gently rubbed its head against Muchong's body, sensing his emotions.
"Hehehe! If you're not going to get on the ship, then don't! I tried to persuade you all night, but it didn't work, hahahahaha! But you have to live well, Robin! I'll come back for you!"
Mu Chong sensed the white cat Mu Mu's movements, raised his hand to stroke its head, then looked back at the vanished coastline, muttering to himself...
"Pfft! Hahahaha! The captain's already missing her the moment we separated, what a loser! If it were me, I'd just tie her to the ship..."
Just then, Slade's irritating voice came from behind, followed by Enel's accompanying voice.
"Hahaha! This is the first time I've ever seen the captain like this. A guy whose talents are wasted on women! What a failure!"
"Hey! You two, watch out for the captain..."
Baku, who was about to speak up to stop Slad and Enel from their rant, saw Mu Chong walking over with a dark expression and quickly shut his mouth.
"Are you two bored? Slard, Enel! In that case, let's enjoy some pain together!"
"Gravity Field - A Merciless Hell"
boom!boom!boom! ...
"what!!!!"
"Too heavy, Captain!!!"
