One Piece: Power-Power Fruit

Chapter 118 Initial Test of Power - Strengthening

Chapter 118: First Test - Power Enhancement

At this moment, Keton, oblivious to everything else, only wanted to kill the bastard in front of him. He swung his double-edged axe with tremendous force, destroying the surrounding ship to pieces.

"enough!"

when!

boom!

Mu Chong sensed that Keton relied solely on brute force and lacked combat skills, so he lost the will to fight. He then enveloped his fist in Armament Haki, caught the axe blade, and kicked Keton away.

"Goodness, with this extra fat, my defense has increased dramatically!"

Feeling the sensation in his feet, Mu Chong looked at Keton's obese body and muttered to himself.

"Roar!!!"

"Damn! Again?... Wait, this is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit? No wonder it's so tough!"

Just as Mu Chong was about to make friendly contact with the other party, Keton, who was lying on the deck, began to growl. Immediately afterward, Mu Chong saw a huge wild boar appear before him.

This was indeed a wild boar, its jet-black fur gleaming, the towering bristles on its back resembling sharp steel needles. Its eight-meter-tall body was topped with a massive boar head and two pairs of large ears. What truly caught Mu Chong's eye were its pair of skyward-pointing tusks.

"My goodness! Is this the effect of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit? This is the first time I've witnessed a transformation in person, it's truly an eye-opener!"

Boom boom boom!

But there was no time for Mu Chong to marvel, because the enormous wild boar had already launched its charge.

Its enormous weight surged across the deck, causing a series of cracking sounds as the wild boar plowed through it like a giant tank.

"Hahaha! Very good! Test my strength!"

That's right, Mu Chong planned to take the boar's charge head-on. He wanted to test the Strength-Strength Fruit to see how much power it could currently grant him.

Ding!

Armament Haki covered Mu Chong's hands, then he bent his knees and firmly planted himself in a horse stance.

"bring it on!"

boom!

Just as the wild boar's tusks were about to touch Mu Chong, the latter's two dark hands firmly grasped the tusks.

Click!

The immense impact caused the deck beneath Mu Chong's feet to crack and shatter.

"Hahaha! That's awesome! Now it's my turn!"

Mu Chong quickly steadied himself, a smile playing on his lips, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Strength & Enhancement"

Boom!

The instant the Power-Power Fruit activated, all of Mu Chong's muscles expanded to varying degrees. At that moment, an invisible force swept through his entire body. Mu Chong felt every cell in his body become active, and with each heartbeat, every muscle in his body was filled with power.

"Hahahaha! This feels so damn good! Your strength seems to have weakened! You idiot! Get up!"

After laughing loudly, Mu Chong looked at the wild boar, which was struggling to break free of his grasp, and coldly mocked it. Then, he exerted all his strength.

A gigantic wild boar, standing eight meters tall, was lifted up by Mu Chong.

Roar! ! ! !

At that moment, Keton, transformed into a wild boar, roared wildly, his body dangling in the air, his four legs flailing frantically.

boom! boom! boom!

Mu Chong exerted his strength again, slamming the wild boar he had lifted high onto the deck repeatedly. The entire ship began to shake and rock violently, and it looked as if it were about to sink.

Click!

Boom!

"Huh?! It's broken?"

Just then, two crisp sounds rang out, and Mu Chong forcefully snapped off two of the wild boar's tusks.

Roar! ! !

The wild boar, which had fallen onto the deck, let out a roar before instantly transforming back into human form. Keton, clutching his bleeding mouth, stared in horror at Mu Chong.

"Here you go!

when!

The two fangs were thrown by Mu Chong at Kaden's feet, and the latter instinctively took a step back, the initial ferocity gone from his eyes.

"Phew! This feels great. Although my muscles are a little sore after the Devil Fruit power is removed, the power I can unleash in a short time is enough to change the course of the battle!"

Mu Chong looked down at his hands, savoring the feeling of increased power he had just experienced. He had gained a deeper understanding of the Power-Power Fruit's potential, and he was in high spirits.

"Cough cough cough! Who exactly are you?"

Although the injuries he was currently suffering were nothing to Keton, who had eaten a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, he no longer had the will to continue fighting against the man before him. He was simply too strong.

"Hahaha! I originally just wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect to actually run into a Devil Fruit user. Hey, what kind of Zoan-type ability do you have? A wild boar?"

Mu Chong took a few steps forward and then stopped, crossing his arms in front of him. His white robe swayed in the sea breeze, perfectly complementing the dilapidated pirate ship.

"Phew! The Devil Fruit I ate is a Zoan-type Common Porcupine!"

"What? A porcupine? Hmm! It doesn't look like the porcupine I remember. Is it not fully developed yet? Oh well, never mind, it's not important!"

Upon hearing Keton's answer, Mu Chong initially showed surprise, but after pondering it carefully, he regained his composure.

"Yo-ho! Captain! We're here!!"

Just then, a shout came from the side, followed by two figures appearing on the deck.

Slard appeared next to the seated Keton, looking down at the obese man, then looking up at the entire ship, a look of regret on his face.

"Sigh!! Do you know? If that accident hadn't happened, I should have been the one standing in front of you first. What a pity, what a pity!"

"Cough cough cough... And who are you?"

Keton gave the man with dreadlocks a look of utter disgust, then looked up at him and asked...

boom!

"Tch! That's a redundant question!"

Keton received no reply, only a kick and a cold stare.

Ignoring Slad's prank, Mu Chong had already instructed Baku, who had boarded the ship with Slad, to search for any treasure.

"Captain! What should we do with this guy?"

Slard pointed at Keton, who was glaring at him fiercely, then turned to Mu Chong and asked...

"Hmm? Keep him alive, Slard! Put him in seastone handcuffs and lock him up on the Liberty. I still have a use for him!"

Mu Chong stared at Keton, thought for a moment, and then replied to Slad.

"Huh? He needs to wear Seastone handcuffs? I didn't realize he was an ability user! Get up!"

Slad was taken aback; he hadn't expected the fat man in front of him to be a power user.

Subsequently, Slad used his Cloud-Cloud Fruit powers to transport Keton to the Liberty, and following Mu Chong's instructions, put Seastone handcuffs on him and locked him in a cabin on the second basement level.

Baku, who was in charge of searching for the treasure, brought out more than a dozen men and women, all covered in injuries, and even two or three children from the dilapidated ship's hold.

"Huh? What's this?"

When Mu Chong saw this group of people, he frowned slightly, then looked at Baku with a puzzled expression.

"Captain! These were found on the second basement level. There were a few more down there, but they were already dead. The rest were still moving, so I brought them up! They claim to be people from Drum Island, and that they were kidnapped by this pirate crew!"

Baku walked to Mu Chong's side, pointed to the group of men and women, and slowly began to introduce them.

"Heh heh heh! Pirates are pirates! They'll do anything!"

After hearing Baku's words, Mu Chong initially didn't want to get involved with these people, but when he saw the children, he was reminded of his own past.

"Phew! Take them aboard the Liberty. Since we've run into them, let's send them back to Drum Island! But tell them that if they have even the slightest wicked thought, throw them into the sea to feed the fish!"

"Understood, Captain!"

After saying this, Mu Chong returned directly to the Freedom, leaving the rest to Baku and Slad.

"Meow!!!"

"Captain! Juice!"

When the white cat Mumu saw Muchong return, it immediately pounced on him, rubbing against him repeatedly. Muchong stroked Mumu's head, a smile spreading across his face.

Mumu is getting bigger and bigger. From a distance, he looks exactly like a grown tiger, even a bit bigger. Plus, with his Maine Coon-like features, he's really cool.

Aisha came over carrying a tray with two glasses of juice on it. After giving Enel one, she walked up to Mu Chong and said...

"Yo! Hahaha! Thank you, Elsa!"

"whispering sound!"

"Hey! What's wrong? You got a problem with that, Enel!"

"Hmph! I can't be bothered with you!"

"Hahaha! Come on! Enel! Let's get intimate!"
