Chapter 349: Logia and Paramecia
"Ok?"
Enel's words caused the relaxed crowd on deck to turn serious. Anyone Enel considered strong must possess considerable power.
"Hehehe! According to the information from the man in black, a group of pirates has been waiting for us in the waters near Jaya Island for quite some time. If they haven't left yet, then it's most likely them!"
Mu Chong slowly walked to the bow of the deck, put his hands behind his back, looked at the empty sea above, and slowly began to speak.
"What? Pirates? What kind of pirates would be waiting for us here? Are they planning to defect to us?"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Bartolomeo's face showed a hint of doubt, then he guessed...
While Bartolomeo was speaking, Crocodile, who had been sitting on a deck bench on the Liberty, had a deep frown on his face, his eyes constantly shifting between Enel and the sea.
At that moment, Crocodile saw no ships on the sea, but no one on deck doubted Enel's words; they all firmly believed that a ship was approaching.
At this moment, S. Crocodile turned his gaze to the wooden bow of the ship.
"Hahahaha! Pirates defecting? While your bounties are all decent, they're not high enough to make someone specifically wait to defect!"
Mu Chong first laughed loudly, then fixed his gaze on the sea ahead and continued...
"Gentlemen! The pirate we're waiting for is Charlotte Katakuri, the son of Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, and one of the Sweet Commanders!"
As Mu Chong finished speaking, the silhouettes of three ships slowly emerged on the sea ahead of the Freedom. As the three ships approached, the pirate flags flying atop the masts of each ship gradually came into view.
"Hey! Coming!"
Dick, who had been watching the front, spoke up the moment the three pirate ships appeared.
Swish!
As soon as Dick finished speaking, everyone on the deck of the Liberty rose to their feet and took their positions at the bow, their eyes fixed on the three approaching ships.
"Hehehe! No need to be nervous, everyone! The fact that these guys have been waiting here for so long without leaving means they're not here to fight. Perhaps Charlotte Linlin has something on her mind about us!"
Mu Chong sensed the change in emotions among everyone behind him and spoke calmly.
"Captain! Shall we go say hello?"
Hearing Mu Chong's words, the tense expressions on everyone's faces gradually relaxed, and Slad stepped forward to ask...
"No need! We can wait for them to arrive! Hey! Slade! How about sparring with Katakuri later?"
Mu Chong gently shook his head, rejecting Slad's suggestion, but after a moment's thought, he turned to Slad again and asked...
"what?"
Mu Chong's words instantly piqued everyone's curiosity, not because of the sudden threat of attack, but because with so many people behind him, why was he specifically asking Slad?
"Hey, Captain! Am I the strongest in your eyes? So you're right to ask me that, aren't you? In that case, I'll gladly take on this battle!"
Unlike the others' confusion, Slad burst into laughter, as if he had won the lottery.
"Tch! You idiot navigator!"
Standing to the side, Enel couldn't help but comment on Slard's smug expression.
"Hehehe! You silly shipwright! You'll have to enjoy my heroic battle prowess later! You might even learn something from it!"
Upon hearing Enel's sarcastic remark, Slade immediately gave him a smug look.
"Hey! Captain! Are you serious? That's Katakuri over there, with a bounty of over a billion Berries! As the second-in-command of the Big Mom Pirates, Katakuri's strength is definitely among the strongest on the seas! You're sending Slade to..."
Just then, Crocodile, who had remained silent until now, stepped forward, his tone full of suspicion.
"Hey! Old Sha! You're seriously doubting my strength, aren't you? Well, you've only just boarded the ship and haven't witnessed my power yet, so it's not your fault!"
Upon hearing Crocodile's words, Slade felt a surge of frustration at being suspected, but considering that Crocodile had only just boarded the ship, he waved his hand dismissively.
"Hahaha! Katakuri's strength is indeed second to none on the seas, but our navigator Slade is not weak either! However, the main reason I had Slade spar with Katakuri is that I felt their Devil Fruit abilities were somewhat similar!"
Mu Chong chuckled as he listened to the chatter behind him, then, his gaze fixed on the three pirate ships approaching ahead, he explained in a calm tone...
"Hmm? Similar Devil Fruit abilities? That's not right! I remember Katakuri's Devil Fruit is the Paramecia-type Mochi Mochi Fruit, while Slade's is the Logia-type Cloud Cloud Fruit. How can their abilities be so similar?"
Mu Chong's explanation left everyone puzzled again. Crocodile, who was more familiar with Katakuri's abilities, was the first to ask a question.
"Hmm! How should this be explained? Although their abilities are different—one is a Logia type and the other a Paramecia type—their Devil Fruit abilities share a common attribute: creation!"
"Furthermore, Katakuri's Mochi Mochi Fruit seems to have awakened. He can conjure up various attack methods out of thin air, and with the support of his powerful Observation Haki, he has developed a wide variety of attack styles!"
"Slad's Cloud-Cloud Fruit is a Logia-type Devil Fruit, making it easy for him to create clouds out of thin air. The reason I suggested that Slad spar with Katakuri was so that Slad could learn from Katakuri's method of developing his Devil Fruit!"
Mu Chong rested his chin on his hand, his eyes gleaming with excitement. In fact, ever since Slad ate the Cloud-Cloud Fruit, Mu Chong had been offering Slad suggestions on how to develop the fruit, and these suggestions had yielded positive results.
Ultimately, however, this fruit still belongs to Slard himself. Although the Cloud-Cloud Fruit awakened due to the previous storm, it still lacks sufficient offensive capabilities.
There's something else Mu Chong didn't mention: in the original One Piece anime, the powerful Logia-type Devil Fruits were almost overshadowed by Mythical Zoan-type fruits in the end. The fundamental reason for this is the difference in the use of Haki and its abilities.
In the original One Piece anime, Logia-type Devil Fruits were rarely used in detail, aside from large-scale attacks. In contrast, Paramecia and Zoan-type Devil Fruits utilized their abilities more thoroughly in battle, which led to the decline of Logia-type Devil Fruits.
As Mu Chong's voice faded, everyone on the deck fell silent, their minds replaying his words. Although some parts remained unclear, no one dared to ask further questions.
Because at this moment, the three pirate ships led by Katakuri were already very close to the front of the Freedom.
woo woo woo...
As a horn sounded, the three pirate ships that had been moving forward together on the sea slowly came to a stop, except for Katakuri's ship, which continued to move forward.
The pirate ship only came to a slow stop when it was almost touching the Liberty's hull.
"Hero Mu Chong! You've really kept us waiting for a long time!"
