Chapter 113: A Sleepless Night
The sky was completely obscured by dark clouds; the night was an intensely black.
At that moment, in Cobra's eyes, a human-shaped dark figure was sitting sideways on the windowsill in front of him.
The sudden scene made Cobra's heart skip a beat, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
"Someone come here!"
Kobra took a deep breath and began to cry for help, only to find his voice had become extremely hoarse.
boom!
However, despite Cobra's low voice, it still had an effect; the bedroom door was quickly flung open, and Jaka, wielding a long knife, rushed in.
"Your Majesty the King..."
Click!
Rumble!
A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed outside the window, followed by a deafening roar that echoed throughout the palace, completely drowning out the adjutant Jaka's voice. However, the light from the lightning illuminated the figure on the windowsill.
Mu Chong, dressed in a white robe, sat sideways on the windowsill, smiling as he watched the two panicked people, appearing completely harmless.
"gallant?"
"Sir, it is rather impolite of you to arrive so late at night without being invited. Please leave immediately!"
Compared to Cobra's surprise, the adjutant Jaka, who had already drawn his longsword, appeared much calmer, staring sharply at Mu Chong as he spoke.
"Hehehe! Don't be nervous! Jackal Jaka! The fact that you're here means you're still useful to me. Those who aren't useful to me can't come! Also, keep your knife safe!"
Mu Chong stroked the white snake in his hand, completely disregarding Jia Ka's intention to see him out, and instead said in a calm tone...
Click!
Rumble!
Amidst the constant rumble of thunder, a torrential downpour continued outside the window. The happiness that rain brought to this country was completely unnoticed by Cobra and his companion.
"Please leave immediately!"
Jaka completely ignored Mu Chong's words, remaining extremely wary, and even his voice carried a hint of anger.
"Oh? Hehehehe! Your master hasn't even spoken yet, what are you barking about? Remember, as a dog, you should have the awareness of being a dog!"
Upon hearing Jia Ka's words, Mu Chong raised an eyebrow, a red glint flashing in his eyes. A chilling aura emanated from him, and his tone became much more forceful.
"you……"
"Add a card!"
Mu Chong's words directly enraged Jia Ka, who, in a fit of rage, was about to rush at Mu Chong with his knife when Kobra shouted at him to stop.
Click!
Rumble!
Cobra sat upright on the bed, waved to Jaka to signal him not to act impulsively, then looked up at the wooden boat on the windowsill.
"Heroic sir! I already expressed my gratitude for your help to the kingdom during the day and even personally led you into the kingdom's secret chamber. Why have you returned so late at night? What brings you here?"
Kobra's expression was solemn. Although he was somewhat flustered inside, his composure as the ruler of a nation bolstered his courage.
"Hahahaha! This is the attitude a conversation should have! Cobra! You speak much better than the guy next to you!"
Mu Chong held the white snake in his arms, then jumped from the windowsill onto the bedroom floor. He stood by the window and slowly said...
"Hmph! Let's get down to business, esteemed hero!"
Seeing that Mu Chong, who had jumped into the room, merely leaned against the window and didn't go any further, Kobra let out a deep breath and then said...
"Hehehe! There are two guardian deities who have protected the Kingdom of Alabasta for generations: Jakka in his Zoan-type Jackal form and Pell in his Zoan-type Falcon form. As far as I know, these two Zoan-type Devil Fruits have always been passed down in the Kingdom of Alabasta. So, Cobra, I need to know the method by which the Kingdom of Alabasta passes down its Devil Fruits!"
Click!
A flash of lightning streaked past the window, illuminating the calm, serene expression on Mu Chong's face.
Rumble!
However, Mu Chong's words caused Kobra and Jaka to freeze in place, their faces visibly showing terror.
"you……"
"Outrageous! Your words are truly excessive! This is a secret of the kingdom, how could you possibly..."
choke!
puff!
boom!
Before Cobra could utter a single word, Jaka shouted angrily, taking a step forward with his knife in hand. But that single step brought him to an abrupt halt.
In an instant, the white serpent was drawn, and the slash landed instantly. Blood spurted from Jaka's chest, and his body crashed into the wall behind him.
"puff!"
With a single strike, Mu Chong severely injured the guardian deity of the Alabasta Kingdom, Jackal Jakka.
"Hero, sir!"
At this moment, Kobra panicked completely. He never expected Mu Chong to kill someone so directly. He quickly got out of bed, wanting to check on Jaka's injuries, but Mu Chong stopped him by raising his knife.
"Don't worry! Cobra! A Zoan-type Devil Fruit user won't die so easily! Actually, I'm a very reasonable person. As long as you tell me the method of Devil Fruit inheritance, we'll all be fine!"
Click!
Rumble!
In the light of lightning, the tip of the white snake's blade pressed against Cobra's chest. Mu Chong looked at him coldly and slowly spoke.
"Hmph! You esteemed hero! You demand the method of inheritance from me in such a manner, aren't you afraid I'll give you a fake one?"
Kobra clenched his fists, seemingly suppressing something, and looked directly at Mu Chong, saying...
"Hahahaha! Cobra! You seem to have misjudged your position. Do you think you or your kingdom can afford the consequences of deceiving me? Tch! Tell me the method of inheritance, and you will suffer no loss. If you don't tell me or lie to me, I don't mind and I have the ability to keep the Kingdom of Alabasta in chaos!"
Mu Chong twirled the white snake in his hand, then sheathed the sword and slowly walked to the window to stand still.
"So, how about we take a gamble, Cobra!"
Click!
Rumble!
"Hmph! Does Your Excellency truly have no designs on the Kingdom of Alabasta whatsoever?"
Cobra took a deep breath, a resolute look appearing on his aged face, his eyes fixed on Mu Chong by the window as he asked...
"Hahaha! You overestimate your kingdom! Cobra! This country holds no appeal for me whatsoever. I'm not some narrow-minded guy like Crocodile; I wouldn't confine myself to a mere country!"
Mu Chong slowly turned around, facing the troubled Kobra with an open and honest expression, and said loudly...
"Alas! Very well! Since that's the case! I will trust you, sir! However, even if I were to reveal the method of inheriting the Devil Fruit, you might not be able to use it!"
Cobra seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden; his whole body went limp, and he spoke in a calm tone.
"Oh?"
Mu Chong was taken aback upon hearing this, and his expression turned curious. Looking at Kobra, who was already deep in thought, he slightly raised his eyebrows.
"The Alabasta Kingdom's method of passing down Devil Fruits originated eight hundred years ago..."
Click!
Rumble!
This sudden, massive downpour washed over everything in the Kingdom of Alabasta, constantly awakening this kingdom, long buried in the desert, from its slumber.
This stormy night is destined to be a sleepless one!
creak!
creak!
"Hmm? A chivalrous hero is out in the rain so late; he must have done something remarkable!"
Mu Chong, who had been walking in with his head down, was startled by the sound and immediately looked up towards its source.
Robin, dressed in a light gauze nightgown, stood by the window like a fairy stepping out of a dream, swirling a wine glass in her hand, smiling as she watched Mu Chong enter the room.
"Huh? Isn't this my room? Oh? Hahahaha! I was so lost in thought that I went to the wrong room! Sorry! Sorry! Hahahaha!"
Mu Chong laughed loudly to cover his embarrassment, but showed no sign of opening the door and leaving.
"Hehehe! Well then, since you're here, how about we have a drink together?"
Robin looked at Mu Chong's expression, covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then slowly said...
"Hehehe! Okay! But I want to drink the one you're holding!"
Mu Chong smiled and walked towards Robin by the window, taking the wine glass from his hand as he spoke, and then casually pulled him into his arms with his other hand.
Mu Chong downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, then turned to look at Robin, who was smiling at him from his arms.
The two smiled at each other, and Mu Chong lowered his head to kiss her red lips, which still bore drops of wine.

This night is destined to be a sleepless one!
