Chapter 32 Entering Magic Valley Town

Chapter Thirty-Two: Entering Magic Valley Town

"Great! We've arrived at Magic Valley Town!"

After several more days of sailing, the Freedom finally arrived at Mock Town. Since the Rossio Pirates had been sailing the ship for the past few days, they directly steered the Freedom into the harbor behind Mock Town.

"As expected of the gathering place for pirates on the Grand Line, there are so many pirate ships here!!"

Slade, who had already disembarked from the Liberty, stood beside Mu Chong, looked around, and sighed.

"Hmph, just a bunch of lawless thugs!"

Schidek lit a cigarette, glanced at the somewhat excited Slad, and snorted coldly.

"Meow!!"

"Hahaha! Let's go, none of this concerns us. Now that we're here, let's get on with our own business!"

Mu Chong chuckled, turned to look at the pirates on the Freedom ship who were busy behind him, and then said...

"Hey everyone, is it alright to hand over the Liberty to you?"

"Don't worry, my esteemed hero, we will take good care of her!"

"Yes, my esteemed hero, you can go in peace!!"

The pirates bustling about on the bow of the Freedom shouted with jubilation.

"Hehehe! Then I'll leave it to you all!! Let's go!"

Mu Chong smiled slightly, then turned and walked towards Demon Valley Town without the slightest hesitation.

"Captain, is it alright to hand the Liberty over to these pirates? I just can't shake this feeling of unease!"

Slad, his brow furrowed, followed closely behind with his two-meter-long iron rod slung over his shoulder, leaving deep footprints with each step. He asked Mu Chong, "..."

It's worth mentioning that the iron rod behind Slad now weighs several times more than before, with Mu Chong applying gravity to it; cultivation cannot be interrupted.

"Don't worry, Slade, Hill, the other two are still on the ship. They'll be fine with them here!"

Mu Chong smiled slightly, a hint of wisdom flashing in his eyes, and spoke.

"Is that so? I understand, Captain!!"

Slad wanted to ask something more, but seeing the smile on Mu Chong's face, he instinctively chose to believe him.

As Mu Chong and his two companions spoke, they disappeared from the port, which returned to its usual bustling state. Hundreds of pirate ships were gathered there, and countless pirate crews passed by every day.

Therefore, the appearance of the Liberty did not arouse their interest. After glancing at it for a while, they went about their own business. However, a discerning person would notice that the Liberty's mast was not flying a pirate flag, which made them pay a little attention.

"Hehehe! The three of them have finally disembarked. Our chance has come! Quickly contact Captain Rossio!"

"Hmph, he destroyed our ship, so let him pay for it with his own ship. This ship is ours now!!"

"Be careful, and move quickly!!"

In a dark corner of the Freedom's cabin, a small group of pirates gathered, each wearing a triumphant smile.

……

boom……

A figure was kicked to the ground in the street, followed by a barrage of curses.

"You idiot, how dare you eat on my turf and not pay me with Pele? You're asking for it! Get out of here!!"

A group of burly men, armed with weapons, stood in front of a tavern, roaring at the man on the ground, whose body was already covered in wounds.

"You just wait, you just wait! How dare you disrespect the Tiger Pirates! You're all going to die!"

Despite being beaten black and blue, the pirate on the ground still had a cold look in his eyes. After getting up and shouting at the group of burly men, he immediately ran away.

"Captain, is he talking about the Shiro Pirates?"

A hint of worry appeared on one of the henchmen's faces, and he whispered to the burly man next to him.

Snapped!

"What's there to be afraid of? Who cares what kind of pirate crew they are? Anyone who dares to cause trouble on that person's territory will die without even knowing how they died..."

"Oh dear, we have a guest! Please come in!"

Before the burly man could finish reprimanding his men, he saw Mu Chong and his group walking towards the tavern. The fierce expression on his face instantly turned into a series of smiles.

Mu Chong and his two companions all twitched their faces. What the hell kind of restaurant is this?

However, their hunger compelled the three to enter the tavern. They had originally intended to go to Lip's noodle shop, but it had long since ceased to exist since Lip joined the Rosio Pirates.

Cheers! Cheers!

"I'm awesome! Killing that piece of trash was so easy!"

"I heard the captain snatched another beautiful woman; she's got quite a look!"

……

As Mu Chong pushed open the door and stepped into the restaurant, a cacophony of sounds immediately filled his ears—the sounds of drinking and chatting filled the air; the restaurant was packed with people.

In the dim light, everything was blurry and indistinct; the air was thick with the smell of sweat.

Mu Chong's arrival caused no ripples; the noise continued unabated.

"This way, please, there's a seat available!"

The burly man smiled and led Mu Chong to an empty table. Everyone sat down, and the white cat Mu Mu jumped onto a chair, curiously looking around.

"What would you all like to eat?"

The burly man performed his job as a waiter exceptionally well, a stark contrast to his demeanor at the door.

"Bring on whatever food you have, I'm hungry, hurry up!!"

Slad took the initiative to speak, addressing the burly man.

Boom...

Just then, a dazzling Pele glided through the dim space and landed in the burly man's hand. The man's eyes lit up, and he immediately said "Don't worry," before happily turning and leaving.

This scene drew the attention of both Mu Chong and Slad to Schidek, who lit a cigarette and took a puff.

"Young people should be aware of social etiquette when they are away from home!"

"Huh? Hahaha!! That old man did a great job pretending! Ah, no, he did a great job!!"

Mu Chong's lips twitched. Looking at Schidek's arrogant little eyes, he couldn't help but complain.

Amidst everyone's casual conversation, the table was soon filled with food, but more than half of the plates were already empty as Mu Chong and Slade were devouring it.

"I heard Montblanc Kulik went treasure hunting in the sea again today, hahaha, how much treasure do you think he'll find?"

A man, holding a wine glass and looking quite drunk, spoke loudly and flippantly to his companion.

"Hahaha! That guy who always believed in that big liar Rolando? What a laughingstock!"

"Yeah, yeah, it's just a legend. People actually believe it. How could a floating island possibly exist?"

"Perhaps the Sky Islands really do exist? They're said to be overflowing with gold."

"Hahaha!!"

"Hahaha!!"

The entire tavern suddenly erupted in a frenzy of laughter, all mocking the words of one man.

"Brother Mu, do you really believe there are any floating islands up there?"

At this moment, Skidek gently exhaled a puff of smoke, turned his head towards Mu Chong, and asked softly, "Do you know that the person in front of me plans to go upstairs after he's finished eating and drinking?"

"Yes, the Sky Island really exists! Just keep going up for about 10,000 meters, and you'll see it. I plan to go up there and do some things!"

Mu Chong didn't even look up, continuing to frantically eat the food on the table.

"Ok?"

Mu Chong's voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough for a man with short, blond hair and a captain's uniform standing nearby to hear it.

"Tch ha ha ha! What a ridiculous idea! There are always some fools chasing after such an unattainable thing. Ha ha ha, how laughable!!"

boom!

The moment the man finished speaking, Slad stood up abruptly, furious and ready to confront him.

His commotion silenced the tavern, and just when everyone thought there was more to see,

boom!

The tavern door was kicked open with a bang, and a large group of people rushed in, shouting wildly into the tavern.

"Where is the esteemed hero?"

This shout made everyone in the tavern, who had been expecting a good show, turn pale, and the entire tavern erupted in chaos.
