Chapter 30: A Peaceful Freedom

"Two people, pull him up! I hate people who kneel down at the drop of a hat!!"

Mu Chong adjusted his posture, glanced at the pirates behind Lip, and slowly said...

As soon as he finished speaking, two pirates came out and grabbed Lip from either side.

"gallant?"

"Tell me what happened?"

"My lord, I know that!"

At this moment, a pirate who looked quite robust pushed his way through the crowd and approached Mu Chong, beginning to recount what had happened.

Lip's daughter, Lilman, is a chef at the noodle shop. She has been helping Lip run the business since she was a child, and now at twenty, she has grown into a beautiful young woman.

In the pirate-infested town of Mogu, a noodle shop could operate peacefully without any powerful backing. However, just half a month ago, a group of vicious pirates appeared out of nowhere, running rampant in Mogu and wiping out several sizable pirate crews, including the noodle shop's owner. Without its protector, the noodle shop became easy prey for the pirates.

But just as they were about to vandalize the restaurant, Lilman's delicious food won over their leader, who immediately took Lilman away, declaring he was there to be their ship's cook.

Lip, grieving the loss of his daughter, got into a fight with the other party in a fit of rage and was severely beaten. If it weren't for his daughter Lilman's pleas for mercy, Lip would probably have died.

Later, Lip was rescued by Rosio's subordinates and joined the Rosio Pirates.

"My esteemed hero, this is roughly how things went!"

After the burly pirate finished speaking, he stood respectfully to the side, awaiting Mu Chong's response.

"Lip, according to what he said, the other party kidnapped your daughter to make her a cook. This shows that your daughter is not in any immediate danger, so don't worry!"

After finishing his sentence, Mu Chong ignored Lip's reaction and turned to look at the burly pirate.

Are those pirates still in Magic Valley Town?

"Yes, sir, they have occupied a manor. It was still there when we left Magic Valley Town three days ago!"

The muscular pirate immediately replied

"The Freedom's destination is also Mogu Town. Since I accepted your daughter's fried rice, I should go and meet those pirates for that favor!"

Mu Chong slowly stood up and said slowly.

"As expected of a chivalrous hero!!"

"The hero is truly remarkable!!"

"Thank you, sir!!"

After Lip finished speaking, his knees buckled, and he tried to kneel down again, but he found that no matter how hard he tried, his body wouldn't move.

"Ok?"

This scene caused the burly pirate standing next to Lip to widen his eyes in disbelief.

"Hey everyone! You've riddled the Liberty's hull with holes..."

"Don't worry, sir, leave it to us!"

The pirates raised their hands and roared loudly, as if it were some great honor.

"Hahaha!! Alright, once you've repaired the Freedom, we'll have a banquet on the deck!!"

"marvelous!!"

"Heroic sir!!"

"Roar!!"

Mu Chong's words ignited the passion of these pirates. They never expected that the two sides, who had just been locked in a life-or-death struggle, could now be so peaceful, and they certainly never imagined they would encounter the chivalrous hero they had been longing for.

All the pirates sprang into action. Some began gathering useful timber from the sea, others relentlessly salvaged the treasure of the former Rosio Pirates, and still others followed Lip directly into the Liberty's kitchen.

Mu Chong ignored the pirates and wasn't worried about them making any moves; his Observation Haki had already enveloped the entire Freedom.

Only three people were sitting together on the deck. Mu Chong looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, Slad glanced at the busy pirates, and Schidek quietly smoked. The white cat Mumu had long since disappeared.

"Brother Mu, after arriving in Demon Valley Town, do you really intend to antagonize that group of pirates?"

Siddek, who had been silently smoking, couldn't help but voice his concerns. He knew about the chaos in Magic Valley.

"What is the old man worried about?"

Mu Chong didn't answer directly, but instead looked away from the sky and at the other person, slowly saying...

"The town of Mogu on Jaya Island is the most chaotic pirate stronghold on the Grand Line. Battles are constantly taking place here. Even the Navy was helpless against it in the past. Is Brother Mu going to deal with that group of pirates here?"

Schidek stared intently at Mu Chong, trying to detect a hint of panic on his face, but Mu Chong's face remained calm and smiling.

"Hahaha! Grandpa, you're worrying too much. Why think about these things? It only adds to your troubles!"

After Mu Chong finished speaking, he slumped down, lying comfortably flat on the deck of the Freedom.

"They're just a bunch of losers who only bully others in the first half of the Grand Line. If they had even a shred of ambition to become strong, they wouldn't have chosen to leave their ship at Mock Town and stop sailing. What's there to be afraid of when facing the weak?"

Mu Chong slowly raised his right hand and suddenly grabbed at the sky. The white clouds that had been floating in the air seemed to be drawn together by some force, miraculously gathering together.

"Besides, half a year ago I was able to wipe out three large forces together with Uncle Yixiao, so now it's just a pirate crew!"

The scenes from the battle six months ago are still vivid in my mind. Yixiao played a supporting role throughout, while Mu Chong, as the main force in the battle, truly experienced what it means to walk on the edge of death.

"Brother Mu..."

"grandfather!!"

Just as Schidek was about to say something more, a powerful voice rang in his ear. Schidek turned his head in confusion.

Slad, with a broad smile, was looking at him with confident eyes, a gaze that sent a chill down Skedek's spine.

"Grandpa, I trust the captain. Knowing how much he cares about this ship, he wouldn't recklessly push the Liberty into the fire!"

"Hahaha!!"

Upon hearing Slad's words, Schidek burst into loud laughter, his voice so loud it drew the attention of the busy pirates around him.

"I'm getting old! I'm getting old!"

Snap...

A match was lit, and Schidek held the cigarette close to the flame. In the light of the fire, two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.

"Hehehe, old man, how about we discuss something?"

Mu Chong sat up, picked his nose, and slowly said to Sidek.

"Brother Mu, please speak freely!"

"Grandpa, please teach Slade and me your Six Styles of the Navy!"

"Huh?? Hahaha!! Good, good, good!!"

Schidek, with a cigarette between two fingers, looked at Mu Chong and laughed loudly.

"Grandpa, is it really okay?"

Slad also looked expectant; it seemed he wasn't planning to learn in just a day or two.

"I'm getting old, I'm getting old! The future belongs to you young people!!"

Schidek patted Slad on the shoulder, nodding and talking happily.

"My lord, the Liberty's hull has been repaired!"

"My lord, the obstacles in front of the Freedom have been cleared!"

Just then, two loud voices came from the side, and two pirates reported excitedly to Mu Chong.

"Hahaha!! What are we waiting for? Raise the sails, Liberty, set sail!!"

Mu Chong stood up and then said loudly.

"Also, let's have a banquet!!"

"Roar!!!"

"The banquet is starting!!"

"The hero is amazing!!"

"Long live the captain!!"

"Meow!!"
