Chapter 169: The Beast's Nest! Under Siege!
"Hey, hahaha! Captain! I knew you wouldn't spoil the fun!"
Seeing Mu Chong rush in, Slad also laughed loudly before dashing out.
"Hehehehe!"
Baku didn't say anything, but the excited look on his face completely expressed his thoughts.
The pitch-black cave swallowed Mu Chong and his two companions whole, and the roars from within grew ever louder.
The battle in the heart of the jungle did not disrupt the artillery fire of the Kingdom of Drigges, but it did allow some of the Davis Pirates to hear the commotion.
Because of Davis the Bear's decision, only half of the pirates were deployed each time they attacked the Kingdom of Driggs, so some pirates always remained at temporary outposts on the edge of the jungle.
"Captain Bamon! Isn't it dangerous for us to venture into the depths of the jungle so rashly? Captain Davis's orders to us are to rest, but tomorrow it's our turn to attack the Kingdom of Driggs again!"
In the jungle, a pirate wielding a long sword spoke with some concern to a man beside him.
"Hahahaha! What are you worried about, you bastard? The Kingdom of Driggs is nothing to us. We'll just scare them a little tomorrow, as usual. Besides, we're just going in to take a look. By the time the captain gets back to camp after dark, we'll be done! Don't worry!"
He wore a bright red coat over a green lining, had a burly build, and spoke in a sissy manner, but the large axe on his back made his presence impossible to ignore.
"Huh?...Okay! Captain Bamon!"
The pirate with the sword was skeptical of Bamon's words, but as a lowly henchman with no real power, he could only silently obey.
Captain Bamon of the Davis Pirates led twenty pirates slowly deeper into the jungle, their curiosity piqued by the commotion they had just heard.
Rumble!
Just then, a huge explosion came from the depths of the jungle again, followed by a tremendous earthquake, and countless birds flew into the sky in a frenzy.
"Captain Bamon..."
Such a commotion drew the attention of all twenty pirates to their leader, Bamon.
"Useless! It was just a shake, and you're all scared like this. If you're scared, get back home! I'll go get the treasure myself!"
The shaking of the ground still made Bamon uneasy, but as captain, he couldn't show weakness. After reprimanding the pirates behind him, Bamon looked at the distant mountains again, his hesitant expression gradually hardening into determination.
"Damn it, fortune favors the bold! Anyone with guts, come with me and charge in, we'll split the treasure!"
Bamon gritted his teeth, reaffirming his choice, and turned to shout loudly to the pirates behind him.
"Charge! With Captain Bamon here, we're not afraid of anything!"
"Yes! Captain Bamon! We're not going back!"
The pirates' reply gave Bamon a lot of confidence, and the hesitation on his face vanished.
"Hahaha! Let's go! Let's set off! Follow me to get the treasure!"
With a wave of his hand, Bamon took the lead and strode into the depths of the jungle. The pirates behind him exchanged glances and followed closely behind.
Roar!Roar!Roar!
The roars echoing from the depths of the jungle could no longer deter the pirates' determination to find the treasure.
The reason for the constant roars coming from deep within the jungle was the commotion made by Mu Chong and his two companions who had entered the cave.
"Holy crap! Captain! We've really messed up this time! We've really stirred up the gorillas' lair! There must be hundreds of gorillas in front of us!"
Inside the cave, in the center of a spacious area, Slad, while dodging the gorillas' attacks, shouted to Mu Chong, who was also fighting nearby.
"Hahahaha! Who would have thought, Saul! But! Don't you think this is a great opportunity to practice your Observation Haki?"
Mu Chong's eyes gleamed with a sharp light as he nimbly dodged among the dozen or so gorillas attacking him. Facing the frenzied attacks, Mu Chong always managed to dodge their sharp claws at the last second.
"Ok?"
Mu Chong's words instantly calmed Slad down. His previously agitated eyes sharpened, and the next moment, he put away the cloud staff he had conjured with his ability, and, imitating Mu Chong, closed his eyes.
hum!
With his Observation Haki fully activated, it enveloped the entire open space of the cave, allowing Slade to 'see' every move the gorillas made.
"Hahahaha! Come on, gorilla! I'll admit defeat if you can even touch me..."
boom!
Before Slard could finish speaking, a huge claw slammed into his back.
"what!!!"
The intense pain caused Slard to scream, his eyes snapping open again as he desperately dodged the attacks of the gorilla horde.
"Hey! Slard! Get your act together and stop underestimating us. This isn't your usual training. With so many gorillas attacking us, you'll be dead if you're not careful!"
Hearing Slad's shouts, Mu Chong frowned and immediately reprimanded him. That's just his personality.
boom!
"Hiss! Got it, Captain!"
Slard endured the excruciating pain, deflecting an attack from a giant gorilla in front of him. He then closed his eyes again, reactivating his Observation Haki.
hum!
Using Observation Haki, Slade could sense the number and movement of objects in his surroundings, easily dodging the gorilla's attack.
However, there were simply too many gorillas. Even with Slard using his full Observation Haki, he couldn't completely avoid their claw attacks.
However, Slad did not give up. Just as Mu Chong said, this was a rare opportunity to train his Observation Haki. Only under the pressure of life and death could the body's energy be stimulated.
Like Baku next to him, who had been blasted away countless times, he still hadn't opened his eyes, even though his body was covered in wounds.
boom!
"Damn it! I can't give up like this. I, Baku, am no weaker than anyone! Let's go again!"
As the fourth strongest fighter on the Freedom, Baku has his own ambitions. He doesn't necessarily need to surpass Slade and Enel, but he must not fall behind.
At that moment, while Slad and Baku were experiencing a life-or-death ordeal, Mu Chong opened his eyes.
"Phew! Not enough pressure! Your attacks have no effect on me whatsoever. Forget it! I'm done playing!"
boom!
Click!
Roar!
As Mu Chong opened his eyes, he punched a gorilla in the head. With a crack, the gorilla's head was knocked to the side, and its body flew backward.
Then, Mu Chong held back no longer and launched a fierce attack against the dozen or so gorillas that were surrounding him.
shave!
Gravel flew up from the ground as Mu Chong vanished. The next moment, another gorilla was sent flying. And that wasn't all; with a deafening roar, another gorilla's arm was severed.
Roar!Roar!Roar!
Mu Chong's clean and swift attack thoroughly enraged the swarm of gorillas in the cave, and dozens of gorillas of all sizes surrounded him.
Even the big guys that were originally besieging Slad and Baku have changed their targets.
"Hahahaha! I don't have time to play games with you guys! Since you can't give me what I want, let's end this boring battle!"
choke!
As Mu Chong spoke, he drew the White Serpent sword from his waist. The originally white blade was instantly covered with a layer of jet-black Armament Haki.
"White Serpent - Draw Sword Slash!"
Swish!
Mu Chong lowered his stance, gripped the hilt of the White Serpent Blade horizontally with both hands, and slashed the long blade from the left, a white light shooting straight at the dozen or so charging gorillas.
puff!
This moment was as if time stood still, or as if death had silently descended, instantly claiming more than a dozen lives.
puff!
boom! boom! boom!
Bright red blood spurted from the waists of the attacking gorillas, and one after another, they fell, all cut in half at the waist.
Roar!
Boom!Boom!Boom!
As more than a dozen gorillas fell, a tremendous roar echoed through the cave, followed by a tremendous shaking of the earth, and the light inside the cave suddenly went out.
From the depths of the cave, a colossal, jet-black creature slowly emerged, its feet planted firmly on the ground, its head hovering above the cave ceiling. Its imposing body exuded an overwhelming aura of power.
With the appearance of this colossal beast, the attacking gorillas retreated like a tide, standing in unison on both sides of the cave as if welcoming a king.
"this!!!!"
