The voices of concern for Slard from the deck were drowned out by bursts of thunder in the sky. As the Freedom approached the area ahead, the surrounding sea breeze and the ripples on the sea became increasingly noticeable.
"Captain! The Liberty cannot go any further! If we get any closer to that area, we might be swept away by the increasingly large waves!"
Shortly after Slard left, Dick observed the ocean currents around the Liberty, a serious look flashing in his eyes. He then stepped forward and spoke to Mu Chong.
"Hmm? Dick! Maneuver the Liberty forward another hundred meters! Such a magnificent natural landscape is a waste not to see it with our own eyes. Let everyone feel the grandeur of nature's power!"
Upon hearing Dick's words, Mu Chong paused slightly, but then told Dick his plan to move forward.
"Huh? Hmm! Got it, Captain!"
Dick was visibly taken aback by Mu Chong's words, but trusting Mu Chong, he turned and headed straight for the Freedom's cabin without saying a word.
Before long, under the combined control of Dick and Enel, the Liberty successfully approached the area covered by the clouds. At this point, the Liberty had already retracted all its sails; otherwise, the current winds alone would have capsized the ship.

Despite this, the violently churning sea beneath the Freedom caused the ship to rock violently from side to side.
"Ah! The boat is capsizing!!!"
"Shut up, you idiot! Didn't you see how calm the adults in front of you are?"
"Hoo! Hoo! Yes! The adults will definitely have a way!"
With the surrounding gale and the raging sea below, the Liberty swayed precariously, as if riding a roller coaster, experiencing an extremely thrilling and dangerous ride.
"Hmph! Mere waves! You dare to dream of capsizing the Freedom? Get up!"
Just then, Caroline, standing at the bow, activated her Float-Float Fruit power as she spoke, and the massive Liberty ship soared away from the churning sea.
The initial rocking caused by the waves disappeared the moment the ship left the water, but as it floated in the air, the surrounding gale began to rage against it.
call!call!call!
"Hehehe! Be a good boy, wind! Don't disturb my viewing of Slard's battle with nature!"
hum!
As Mu Chong's voice rang out, the Power-Power Fruit ability within him activated. A white energy wave instantly enveloped the entire Freedom, then rippled up and down around its hull.
Then, Mu Chong, standing at the bow, reached out with one hand and grabbed at the space in front of him. A miraculous scene unfolded: the fierce wind that had been blowing so hard that everyone couldn't open their eyes suddenly disappeared. In an instant, there was not a breath of wind on the Freedom.
"Using the power of the Power-Power Fruit! To guide the direction of the wind force, so that it circles the Liberty ship in a regular pattern, hehehe! It's been so long since I've felt this way!"
Mu Chong looked up at the pale white wind wall surrounding the Freedom, muttering to himself as he recalled the storm he encountered when he first set sail. A slight smile played on his lips.
"My goodness! The adults are amazing! This ship really flew!"
"The hero can actually control the wind! This is truly an incredible ability!"
"So handsome!! Just like me!"
The changes around the Liberty's hull made the crew on deck envious and eager to offer their praise.
Mu Chong merely smiled slightly at this, then plopped down at the bow of the boat, his eyes fixed on the storm several hundred meters ahead.
The other crew members behind Mu Chong either stared intently ahead or sat on the deck, chatting and drinking, seemingly oblivious to Slad's struggle in the clouds.

A massive storm not only brings torrential rain and strong winds, but also deafening thunder and lightning. Sometimes, due to changes in airflow, it can even produce hail and snowfall.
The storm that Slad is currently facing is all-encompassing, and its scale and intensity are extremely rare.

Time flies, and who knows how long it has passed!
"Damn it! I've tried so many methods! Why is nothing working? How can I completely disrupt the changes in the storm?!"
In the midst of a storm in the sky, Slade, his figure hidden in the clouds, frowned as he surveyed the chaotic surroundings, unsure of what to do next.
"Phew! Don't rush! There must be a way! Based on my research on weather changes and what the captain said, the only thing that can influence the storm and that I can control is these dark clouds!"
Slad took a deep breath, slowly calming himself down. Then, his eyes gleamed with intelligence as he meticulously observed his surroundings.
hum!
The next moment! Slard unleashed his Observation Haki without reservation. This time, it wasn't a wide-ranging coverage, but rather a more focused perception of the incredibly dense clouds in front of him.

"Clouds! Clouds? A nature-type cloud-cloud fruit! Nature? Nature itself! Hahahaha! I get it! I finally understand!"
The clouds in the sky continued to churn, and the wind and rain, mixed with thunder, grew increasingly intense, even drowning out Slad's sudden burst of laughter.
"Hoo! To uncover the secrets of these clouds, one must first become a cloud. I have always been in control of the clouds I have created, so the changes in these clouds are simply my mindset. But to get closer to the clouds of nature, one must let the clouds experience the changes themselves!"
boom!
At that moment, a brilliant light suddenly flashed in Slad's eyes, and as he spoke, a solemn expression appeared on his previously calm face.
"But! I remember Grandpa and the captain both told me about the deeper meaning of Devil Fruits—that the demons residing within the fruits are searching for bodies to inhabit! So, if I had given my body to a demon..."
Thinking this through, Slad's expression became hesitant, and a strange emotion began to creep in.

Rumble!
Whew! Whew! Whew!
As Slard's emotions shifted, the clouds he transformed into began to slowly change from pure white to grayish-brown.
At this moment, aided by the cloud cover, the storm suddenly became even more violent, manifesting as a sudden increase in its intensity.
Rumble!
"Ok?"
At the same time, accompanied by a deafening roar of thunder, Mu Chong, who had been sitting at the bow of the ship, instantly stood up, his eyes fixed solemnly on the rapidly changing storm ahead.
"captain!"
The next second, Enel appeared behind Mu Chong, his expression equally grim, and Aisha, standing in the crowd, shared the same expression.
"Slad!!"
Click!
Rumble!
Just as the three people's expressions began to change, another enormous thunderclap resounded, this time even louder than the last, with towering waves surging continuously.
hum!
boom!
"Hey hahahahaha..."
Suddenly, accompanied by a deafening laugh that echoed through the sky, a terrifying aura emanated from the dark, heavy clouds, instantly engulfing the entire sea area.
"This is... Conqueror's Haki!!"
This sudden burst of energy startled everyone on the Freedom, who then immediately rose and went to the bow.
"Hehehe! Enel! Looks like Slade has succeeded!"
"Tch! You idiot navigator! Too slow!"
