Chapter 91: Emerging from the Ground (Historical Text)
After slowly finishing his speech, Mu Chong touched the Poneglyph and fell silent. He pondered the Poneglyph for a moment, then shook his head, as if he had thought of something.
"A hundred years of blank history? What's that? Why would history be blank? It feels so complicated! But Captain, we can go find those four red stones. Once we collect them all, we can go to Laugh Tale. That's where all the Pirate King's treasure is!"
Slad rested his chin on his hand, his eyes unfocused, like a thoughtful scholar. But after a moment's thought, he gave up, then his eyes gleamed, and he said to Mu Chong...
"Hmm? That's a great idea, Slard! Then you'd better get stronger quickly. Two or three of those four red stones are in the hands of the Four Emperors of the New World. If you want to get them, you'll have to face those old monsters, so you need to have the strength to match them!"
Upon hearing Slad's words, Mu Chong slowly turned to look at him and said seriously.
"Is that so? Alright, from today onwards, double the training! Sooner or later, I will personally take that red stone from the Four Emperors!"
Slad was taken aback at first, then roared in response to Mu Chong's gaze.
"Hahahaha! You've got ambition, Slard. I have high hopes for you. When we get back from Loguetown, I'll take you to meet one of the Four Emperors!"
Seeing the ambitious Slad, Mu Chong decisively gave him a thumbs up and said...
"Hahaha! The Four Emperors? How could I be left out, Captain! They're just four red stones! I've reserved them!"
Enel, who had initially shown little interest, suddenly brightened up after hearing Mu Chong's words, as if he was ready to go right then and there.
"Me too! Captain!"
Even Baku stepped forward and said firmly.
"You guys... fine, fine, fine! Then train hard, so you don't end up not even having the courage to face the Four Emperors!"
Although I'm still worried about those guys, going to see them without starting a war is still an option, right?
The group then spent another half day exploring the underground palace, but still found nothing except for the historical text.
"Damn it, there are no Devil Fruits at all! Novels are all lies, they made me so curious!"
After thoroughly exploring every corner of the underground palace, Mu Chong cursed under his breath and then prepared to leave with the others.
When everyone returned to the outside of the underground palace, Mu Chong, who had only taken a few steps, stopped.
"Meow??!!"
Mumu, the white cat that had been following Muchong, meowed in confusion upon seeing Muchong's actions.
Mumu's cries attracted everyone's attention, and they all stopped to look at Mu Chong, wondering what their captain's intentions were.
"Hehehe! What do you think Crocodile would do if I put this Poneglyph right in front of him?"
A mischievous expression appeared on Mu Chong's face as he muttered to himself...
"What is the captain muttering about?"
"Judging from that expression, it looks like someone's about to be in trouble!"
"No, he needs to use the restroom..."
……
While everyone was guessing, Mu Chong turned around deftly, then slowly untied the bandage he always wore on his arm and tossed it to Baku.
Just as everyone was wondering about Mu Chong's actions, a violent earthquake in the desert startled them awake.
"My God, Captain, what are you doing? Are you trying to turn upside down the underground palace?"
Everyone stared at the rumbling, shaking ground and the ever-flowing yellow sand, and the same question that Slad had in mind crossed their minds.
At this moment, Mu Chong's hands were enveloped in white ripples. He activated the Power-Power Fruit's power, and his Observation Haki locked onto the Poneglyph through the cave entrance. As he raised his hands, the long-sealed Poneglyph slowly rose upwards.
Rumble!
The ground shook, and the yellow sand caved in; due to the immense force of the historical text, a large section of the desert sand sank in.
"Back off!"
Slad shouted, decisively using his Devil Fruit power to lift everyone up and quickly retreat.
"Ouch! This thing is quite heavy! Humph, come out here, Poneglyph! It's time for you to see the sun!"
Mu Chong's feet were off the ground, his arms outstretched, when he suddenly raised his arms.
Rumble!
With a deafening roar, the historical text finally broke through the soil, reappearing above ground and shining brightly in the sunlight, showcasing its historical significance.
"Hmm? This is a bit too conspicuous. I'm not worried about anything, but there's no need to attract unnecessary attention. Hmm, let's decorate it up!"
Seeing the enormous rock suspended in the air, Mu Chong pondered for a moment, a glint of wisdom flashing in his eyes.
Immediately afterward, to everyone's astonishment, Mu Chong began his creative process.
As Mu Chong swung his arms back and forth, the yellow sand on the ground began to gather towards the stones. In no time, the originally bare historical inscription was completely covered by the sand, transforming into a ship resembling a gold ingot.
This wasn't the end. Mu Chong placed Jin Yuanbao's boat on the desert, then waved his hand again, and countless grains of yellow sand gathered once more, this time towards the spot in front of Jin Yuanbao. A moment later, two enormous yellow horses miraculously appeared in front of Jin Yuanbao, their height matching that of Jin Yuanbao's boat.
After completing these tasks, Mu Chong nodded in satisfaction and landed back on the ground.
"Meow!!!"
"How...how did you do that, Captain?"
"Can Devil Fruit powers be used like this? This is simply unbelievable!"
"The captain's control over his abilities is truly meticulous; it seems I still have a way to go to match him!"
"Hmph, all show and no substance, it has no offensive power whatsoever, what's there to be proud of?"
Seeing this, everyone started discussing it, but Enel was the only one who made a derogatory remark at the end.
"You know nothing! You idiot shipwright, the captain is saying that Devil Fruit abilities are about manipulating your own elements and what you can create or influence, the more precise the better. Your lightning is well-developed, but it's still lacking!"
Upon hearing Enel's words, Slade retorted in a serious tone.
"These? The captain said so?"
Enel raised an eyebrow and asked Slard in return.
"Yes! I told you this once on the Freedom, you arrogant guy, you didn't even remember. You'll only understand the improvement after you experience it for yourself!"
Can you do it?
"can!"
Faced with Slard's resolute determination to recover, Enel fell silent.
"Hahaha! Let's go, everyone. From now on, the Golden Ingot carriage will take us around!"
Just then, Mu Chong waved his hand, shouted, and jumped onto the gold ingot first.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately climbed onto the golden ingot. As they stood atop it and felt the sturdy surface of the golden ingot carriage, they were once again amazed by Mu Chong's abilities.
Especially for Slard and Enel, this was clearly just yellow sand, yet it had become so hard.
"set off!"
At Mu Chong's command, the golden chariot sped forward at an astonishing speed.
"Hey, Captain, why aren't those two horses' legs moving?"
At this moment, Aisha, sitting next to Mu Chong, pointed to the two horses in front and asked curiously.
"Hahaha! Who cares if it works or not, as long as it's functional! Adult matters are none of a child's business!"
Mu Chong laughed loudly, raised his hand and patted Aisha's head. Aisha, wearing a hat, had a wisp of red hair that swayed as it moved, making her look quite adorable.
"Oh, Captain! I'm not a little kid anymore, I'm almost twelve! Elsa will be an adult soon!"
Upon hearing the second half of Mu Chong's sentence, Aisha's face immediately turned red. She slapped Mu Chong's hand away and said angrily.
"Really? Hahaha! Okay, okay! From now on, Elsa, you have to protect everyone!"
"Hmph, who wants to protect you!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Meow!!!"
