Chapter 337: An Acquaintance - Lieutenant General Onigumo

boom!

Standing next to Bartolomeo, Baku slapped him on the back of the head, his face showing a look of utter disappointment.

"Huh? Hahaha! So it was detected using Observation Haki! I thought there was something wrong with my eyes! You scared me to death!"

Bartolomeo seemed to realize something, raised his hand to cover the back of his head, and laughed awkwardly.

Swish!

Just then, Slad, who had just left, descended from the sky and landed steadily on the deck.

"Captain! Look closely! The three ships appearing to our left are not pirate ships, but three warships, and they are quite large. Judging from the direction they are heading, they should be coming from the Alabasta Kingdom! Captain! Shall we make a move?"

Slad pointed to the sea to his left and spoke slowly, a hint of excitement on his face, indicating that his fighting spirit was stirring.

"Oh? Three warships? And three warships coming from the direction of Alabasta? Hmm! Do you think there might be something interesting on those three ships!"

Upon hearing Slad's introduction, Mu Chong frowned slightly, a look of surprise in his eyes. He then turned to the crowd and asked...

"Ok?"

Mu Chong's sudden question caused everyone around him to pause and fall into deep thought.

"Captain! You mean to say that these three ships are very likely the warships escorting Shah Crocodile?"

After a moment's hesitation, Slad tentatively offered his answer to Mu Chong's question.

"Hahaha! Very likely! Slard! If we calculate the time, we might just make it in time for the Navy to escort that crocodile. A force like the Seven Warlords of the Sea can't be contained in an ordinary prison. Only the underwater prison located in the Calm Belt is the best place for them!"

Upon hearing Slad's conjecture, Mu Chong's eyes lit up. He had also been considering this possibility, and Slad's words had solidified Mu Chong's gaze on the sea to his left.

"Gentlemen! Intercept these three warships! Regardless of whether Crocodile and the others are being held captive on board, since we've run into the Navy that often causes us trouble, shouldn't we make them suffer this time?"

After a moment's hesitation, Mu Chong smiled slightly and decided to stay and test the waters of these three warships.

"Hooray! Finally, it's time to fight! Captain, I'll be leading the charge this time!"

Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Didak, who had been standing idly to the side, immediately became excited, rolled up his sleeves, and assumed a fighting stance.

"Hey ha ha ha! Me too! Me too! How could I be left out when it comes to attacking naval warships! Captain, how about we leave this battle to Didak and me? You just wait for good news!"

Bartolomeo, not to be outdone, even made a gesture reminiscent of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit while speaking.

"Hehehe! You can do whatever you want in this battle. If you want to fight, go ahead and do it. But I have one requirement: you must end this battle in the shortest possible time. Don't play games with me. If you choose to fight, you must do it with swift and decisive action! Understand?"

Mu Chong had absolute confidence in the strength of everyone present. Even Aisha, the youngest and without a Devil Fruit ability, could fight a Marine captain with her unique Observation Haki, not to mention the group of battle maniacs who spent all their time in the training grounds.

"Hey ha ha ha! That's awesome, Captain!"

"Hehe! Come on over! I can't wait!"

As soon as Mu Chong finished speaking, Bartolomeo and Didac, who were the most excited, began to warm up.

call!

The sea wind howled across the surface, ruffling the clothes of those on the deck of the Freedom, while the surrounding waves rolled and surged, creating sprays of water.

"Hey? They're here! Captain!"

After an unknown amount of time, Bartolomeo, who had been gazing at the sea to his left, suddenly shouted a loud cry, drawing everyone's attention in that direction.

Several hundred meters away from the hull of the Freedom, three massive warships were slowly approaching, their white naval ensigns, symbolizing the maintenance of world peace and order, fluttering atop their masts.

At the same time, the lookout on the warship also spotted the Freedom, which was stationary.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

In an instant, three deep, long warning blasts sounded from the warships, and immediately the naval soldiers on the three ships began to run.

In just a short while, the cannons on the warship were ready, and naval soldiers stood on the deck, weapons in hand, ready for battle.

At the very center, on the prow of a warship, stood a burly naval admiral, who was observing the Freedom through binoculars.

"Vice Admiral Onigumo! All cannons on the three ships are ready. Shall we fire?"

Just then, a soldier ran up to the deck of the central warship and shouted to the general at the bow.

However, after the naval soldier finished speaking, Vice Admiral Onigumo, who had his back to him, did not respond for a long time. Out of curiosity, the soldier looked up and saw that Onigumo's body was trembling slightly.

"This... Vice Admiral Onigumo??"

The bewildered naval soldier tried shouting again.

"Phew! Give the order! Tell everyone to be on high alert. The enemy we're about to face is no ordinary person!"

Onigumo slowly lowered his binoculars, exhaled deeply, and his expression became more solemn than ever before.

"Yes!"

"Wait! Contact Naval Headquarters immediately! Tell them we've encountered the gang of chivalrous knight Mu Chong and request immediate support!"

Just as the naval soldiers were about to relay the order, Onigumo spoke again, this time with a tone full of helplessness.

As one of the executors of the Demon-Slaying Order in the East China Sea, Onigumo knew all too well the strength of Mu Chong and his group. They were a group that even an admiral couldn't handle. He never expected to encounter them here.

"Huh? Yes!"

Upon hearing Onigumo's words, the naval soldier's expression visibly froze, but he quickly recovered and immediately ran towards the ship's cabin.

Meanwhile, on the deck of the Liberty, which remained stationary, Enel recounted in its entirety the conversation between Onigumo and the marines.

"Hehehe! I didn't expect to run into an acquaintance here. Onigumo, huh? That guy was involved in the Demon Buster Order in the East Blue!"

After hearing Enel's words, a glint of light flashed in Mu Chong's eyes, and the corners of his mouth subtly turned up in a smile.

"Since they've already called for reinforcements, we can't wait for them to arrive! Slard, take the men and take those three warships! Enel! That Onigumo is yours! Remember! Quick and decisive!"

"Understood, Captain!"

"Hey ha ha ha! Come on!"

At Mu Chong's command, Slad activated his Cloud-Cloud Fruit ability, leading everyone except the four girls towards the warship ahead.
