Chapter 70: Call Me Master, Enel

As Hill Bott's eyes gradually brightened, Mu Chong slowly approached him, patted him on the shoulder, and then said...

"Hill Bot, Locas, I will entrust all of Enel's men to you. Before you leave, please handle the war on the Skypiea. As for how to develop the Skypiea afterwards, I will only give you some advice. The rest is up to you!"

Mu Chong faced the two with a solemn expression, not giving them a chance to speak, then turned to look at the approaching Ark Proverb.

"My requirements are: first, control the Sky Island and have sole authority; second, control the intelligence of the sea and be able to provide the Freedom with accurate information at all times; third, be allowed to engage in any kind of transaction, but absolutely not to commit arson, murder, looting, or other heinous crimes; and finally, surpass all dark forces and become the Dark King of this sea!"

As Mu Chong's voice faded, the deck of the Freedom fell eerily silent. No one had expected Mu Chong's idea to be so insane, and they all stared at him in utter shock.

A gust of wind ruffled the hair and clothes of everyone on deck, and Mu Chong spoke again.

"Hahaha! Don't feel pressured, Hill Bot, Locas! Although we can't go on adventures together on the Liberty anymore, there will always be a place for you on this ship. This is your home, and I believe in you!"

"Remember, develop slowly in the early stages. If you have any problems, feel free to contact me, and I'll help you!"

Mu Chong's face regained its usual smile as he squinted at the two people who were still stunned in place.

"Phew! Got it, Captain! Leave it to us! We'll definitely give you a trustworthy force!"

Hill Bott took a deep breath, then clenched his fists and solemnly said...

"Yes! Don't worry, Captain! We will definitely not let you down!"

Locas also looked solemn, his left hand resting on his sword, his right fist clenched and placed in front of his chest.

"Hahaha! Good, good, good! But you two must remember that everything in this world is built on the foundation of your own sufficient strength. Therefore, your training must not be neglected because you are busy. Only the strong deserve to have a voice, understand?"

Mu Chong laughed heartily, looking at the two with satisfaction, but still solemnly reminded them once again that in this world, strength is paramount.

After receiving affirmative replies from both men, Mu Chong turned his gaze to Baku, who was still covered in bandages but appeared to be mostly unharmed.

"Baku, come back to Qinghai with me, let's continue our adventure on the Freedom!"

"Hehehe, yes, Captain!"

Baku, who was over three meters tall, actually showed a happy smile, like a child, and stroked his big head with a buzz cut as he looked at Mu Chong and replied.

"Captain, we've arrived!"

Just then, Slad's voice rang out, and everyone looked over to see the enormous Ark Maxim docked before them, much to the astonishment of Hill Bot and the other two.

Ignoring the three men's jaws dropping in astonishment, Mu Chong called out Enel, instructing him to hand over some arrangements to his subordinates and finalize the restructuring of the Freedom.

Subsequently, Mu Chong and his group of seven, along with a white cat, embarked on their journey to find the Golden Land.

The surface of Apayado is mostly covered by huge trees, interspersed with various kinds of vegetation. If you don't know the environment, it's easy to get lost. But with Enel by their side, none of this is a problem for Mu Chong and his group.

The group moved quickly, as their destination was clear, and with Enel as their guide, they could have easily reached their destination by using Slade's Flying Cloud if Mu Chong hadn't wanted to get a closer look at the surroundings.

"Captain, Shandora is just ahead!"

As Enel's voice rang out, the path ahead suddenly opened up, and the sight before them filled them with ecstatic joy, making it difficult to suppress their excitement.

At first glance, all that could be seen were ruins resembling collapsed houses. Behind these crumbling walls, a relatively well-preserved building came into view. However, what excited the group was not the building itself, but the gold scattered all over the ground.

Imagine walking into a room filled with red banknotes, and being able to use them freely.

"This...this...gold? This is all gold...it's real! The Land of Gold really exists!"

The moment the ruins appeared, Locas immediately took a few steps forward, touching this and that, muttering to himself, clearly very agitated.

Mu Chong smiled, turned to look at the people still standing behind him, and seeing how they were all trying to suppress their excitement, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you guys doing? Go on, go experience the joy of being buried in gold, this will all be ours from now on!"

As soon as Mu Chong finished speaking, several figures rushed out from behind him, even the white cat Mu Mu ran out, and they all began to explore.

Click!

"Tch, you bumpkins who've never seen the world!"

Enel, munching on an apple, calmly walked over to Mu Chong, his face full of disdain.

"Remember what you said, Haenel. When you get to the high seas, remember to control your expression!"

Schidek, smoking a cigarette, walked to the other side of the wooden embankment and teased Enel. Compared to the youth's excitement, the old man seemed much more composed.

"Tch, I know, old man!"

"Call me Master!"

"whispering sound!"

"Huh??? Master??? You guys? What happened in the cabin just now?"

The brief conversation between Enel and Schidek left Mu Chong speechless. He took a step back, staring at the two in utter shock, desperately needing an answer.

"Hahahaha! Thanks to Brother Tom, my shipbuilding skills have been passed down. Enel may be a bit old, but he has a solid foundation, so I reluctantly took him on as an apprentice, hahaha!"

Schidek became more and more excited as he spoke, until finally his face flushed and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Hey, old man, you forced me, didn't you? My skills don't need anyone to teach me; I can naturally guarantee the Freedom's voyage!"

Enel, upon hearing Skedek's words, flew into a rage and immediately explained...

"Hahahaha! It's far from perfect. Some of your techniques are indeed unique, and I've only seen them a few times myself. But on the open sea, it's far from perfect. Keep learning, Enel!"

Schidek waved his hand dismissively, completely ignoring Enel's reluctance, as if he were truly being forced.

Click!

"Tch! That wretched old man!"

Facing the white-haired Skedek, Enel surprisingly showed no temper, coldly snorting as he ate his apple. Perhaps in the past, the old man would have been struck by lightning long ago, but now that Enel was on the ship, he had to give Captain Mu Chong some face.

"Hahaha! Thank you so much, old man! Enel is in your hands now!"

Mu Chong laughed loudly as he watched the two bickering, then took a deep look at Schidek's retreating figure. He probably understood what the old man was thinking: where was the inheritance? He was just worried.

Schidek was initially introduced to the ship by a friend of Ichisho's to help out. Although he was only on board for less than half a month, the old man's love for ships, which he had spent most of his life dealing with, was a feeling that young people couldn't understand. In addition, his grandson Slad was still on the Liberty. Perhaps this was the reason why he was determined to teach Enel.

But none of that matters anymore. Whatever Enel learns from Skedek, it will undoubtedly be beneficial for the Liberty.

boom!

Roar!

Just as Mu Chong and his two companions were chatting, an explosion suddenly came from deep within the ruins of Shandora, followed by a sound like the roar of a ferocious beast.

The ground tremors made Mu Chong and Sichedek's expressions turn serious.

"Hahaha! Looks like these guys have messed with that big guy!"

Enel, who was eating an apple, spoke calmly, showing no sign of nervousness.

"big guy?"

Schidek turned to look at Enel and asked...

"Ah! It's Nora, the giant python from the Isle of Gods, known as the Lord of the Sky by the inhabitants of the Sky Island! Tch, just a little snake!"
