Chapter 235: The Colossus Temple at the Summit
Mount Targon is a massive, towering mountain located in the center of Tiger God Island; its sheer size is breathtaking.
The summit of Mount Targon is perpetually covered in snow, and eight enormous streams rush down its slopes, forming a vast river that winds its way through eight directions on Tiger God Island. The places these rivers flow through are the lifeblood of Tiger God Island's inhabitants.
The capital, Lunasia, occupies the basin of one of the largest rivers. Its massive, white royal palace stands like a fortress built above the river, supported by sixteen enormous pillars.
Meanwhile, the white cat Mumu had somehow arrived at the back of the palace and was climbing up the river that flowed down from the sky.
With the arrival of Mumu and Enel, the white cat Mumu merely turned its head to glance at the two, then continued to use its hands and feet to rapidly increase its speed.
"captain?"
"Hehehe! Although I don't know why this silly cat is behaving this way, it's absolutely safe with the two of us here, so let it be!"
Regarding Enel's concerns, Mu Chong smiled gently and shook his head, his eyes fixed on the white cat Mu Mu, who was rapidly climbing up the mountainside, and slowly spoke.
"Hmm! Captain! What should we do about that aura that's appearing at the mountaintop? Judging from Mumu's actions, she seems to be attracted by that aura as well. It just doesn't feel right to me!"
Hearing Mumu's words, Enel stopped dwelling on the white cat Mumu's behavior and instead looked up at the summit of Mount Targon, his expression becoming solemn.
"Did you feel it too, Enel? The aura at the summit is strong, yet weak! The moment we first set foot on Tiger God Island, the aura emanating from the summit was a warning, but now it feels more like... a plea?"
Mu Chong's gaze also left the white cat Mu Mu, then he crossed his arms and stared at the rooftop shrouded in clouds.
"Hahahaha! Why bother with blind speculation, Enel? Let's go and see for ourselves! With our combined strength, are we really going to be intimidated by Mount Targon? Hahahaha! Let's go!"
call!
Mu Chong suddenly burst into laughter, his arms outstretched, the loud sound echoing through the sky. With a single word, "Go!", he sped towards the summit of Mount Titan.
"Hahaha! I just can't do anything with you, Captain! But you're right!"
Stab it!
Enel watched as Mu Chong rapidly disappeared, a flash of lightning crossing his eyes. As he spoke, his body slowly transformed into raging lightning, then vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye.
"You bastard! Stop right there!"
Just then, a shout pierced through the clouds and rang out from the beach on the south coast. The loud voice was mixed with Conqueror's Haki, and its momentum was so great that the entire Tiger God Island was shaken.
When Garcia Caroline recovered from the shock of Mu Chong's actions, she saw that Mu Chong was already heading towards the summit of Mount Targon.
Princess Caroline of the Kingdom of Garcia, who had never suffered such humiliation, was struck by a series of blows in a short period of time. Now, that figure was heading towards the forbidden area of the Kingdom of Garcia, which enraged Caroline.
"Moro, take me to the Temple of Titan immediately, quick!"
The next moment, Caroline shouted directly at the giant pterosaur lying on the platform.
"Roar!"
The pterosaur shuddered the moment it heard Caroline call its name, but without daring to hesitate, it roared and took flight.
call!
The pterosaur leaped off the platform and swooped down towards Caroline on the beach. In the instant they met, Caroline grabbed the pterosaur's talons, and with its help, leaped onto its back.
Roar!
Then, the pterosaur flapped its wings and took flight, its massive wings kicking up sand and stones from the beach. With a deafening roar, the pterosaur raced towards the summit of Mount Targon.
"Huh! She just left like that? What about this guy on the ground? Just left here like that?"
Watching the enormous pterosaur rapidly disappear into the distance, Baku looked utterly bewildered, then pointed at the drowsy eldest prince on the ground and said...
"Tch! Ignore him! This is the Kingdom of Garcia, and this guy is the eldest prince here. We can leave him here without any problems, unless there are rebels in the Kingdom of Garcia too!"
Slard glanced at the eldest prince on the ground, then waved his hand dismissively, preparing to call the others to head towards Mount Targon. Dick, standing nearby, spoke up.
“Slard! I suggest we wake the eldest prince so I can explain things clearly. If we choose to enter Garcia’s territory on foot, it will be much easier for us with the eldest prince by our side!”
Dick slowly walked to the eldest prince's side, squatted down, and said to Slade...
"Hmm? Okay!"
Upon hearing Dick's words, Slad paused for a moment, then nodded, a glint of light flashing in his eyes as he pondered Mu Chong's intentions.
Normally, if one wanted to reach the summit of Mount Targon, his somersault cloud could carry everyone directly to the top. However, Mu Chong did not ask Slad to do so.
Thinking of this, Slard suddenly looked up at the summit of Mount Targon, his eyes becoming profound at that moment.
Since he arrived on the island, he had never used the Cloud-Cloud Fruit's power to cover Tiger God Island. Furthermore, while his Observation Haki was not weak, it wasn't strong enough to easily cover such a large island, so he hadn't detected anything unusual.
"So it seems the captain's parting words had a different meaning! With the Freedom's current strength, plus Enel's Observation Haki, if there wasn't some danger on the island, why would the captain specifically warn me? Was it at the summit?"
Slade crossed his arms, his eyes fixed on the towering Mount Targon, and murmured softly to himself.
"Cough! Cough cough..."
Just then, a violent coughing fit rang out. The eldest prince, who had been lying on the ground, was now being helped to sit up by Dick, who was clutching his head.
"Huh? Dick? Hiss!"
The moment the eldest prince opened his eyes, he saw Dick's worried face. He was slightly startled, then a sharp pain shot through the back of his head, making him wince in pain.
"Your Highness! Are you alright?"
Dick didn't know what to say; he felt that offering comfort would only add fuel to the fire.
"Hmph! Wait, where's my sister Caroline?"
The eldest prince scoffed at Dick's expression, then turned to look around, but couldn't find Caroline. It felt as if someone was missing from the group.
"Uh! Princess Caroline is riding Moro to the summit of Mount Targon..."
"Ok?"
Dick's explanation made the eldest prince frown. Although the summit wasn't inaccessible to the royal family, and Caroline frequently went there, the external enemy was still present...
"Dick! Who else went to the summit?"
Thinking of this, the eldest prince suddenly grabbed Dick's collar and asked urgently.
"Uh! There's more..."
"Hey! I said! Stop wasting time here! The captain and the others have already gone to Mount Targon. Could this prince show us the way so we can get there as quickly as possible!"
Just as Dick was about to speak, Slater suddenly spoke up, his tone calm.
"Ok?"
"Your Highness! Listen to me, things didn't turn out the way you think. It was because the guardian deity Dale climbed Tiger God Peak that the heroes followed. Princess Caroline was chasing after the heroes. Now we'll stay here and climb up on foot!"
Seeing the eldest prince's puzzled expression, Dick quickly explained what had happened, which calmed the agitated prince down.
