Chapter 252: The Demon-Slaying Order?!
"Hmph! What are you saying, Slard!"
Just as Slard finished speaking, Caroline, who had come up to the deck, glared at him fiercely, her eyes full of threat.
"Huh? Why are you on the ship? Captain! Her?"
Caroline's sudden appearance left Slad somewhat bewildered, and in his confusion, he immediately turned to ask Mu Chong.
"Hehehehe! Slade! You don't know yet, do you? Princess Caroline has decided to board the Liberty, and the captain has already agreed!"
"What?!"
Elsa's explanation made Slad's mouth drop in surprise. He looked Caroline up and down, then glanced at Mu Chong.
Snapped!
"Ah! I get it! So the captain fell in love with the princess, so..."
boom!
Slad only hesitated for a second before clapping his hands together, looking as if he had just realized something, and excitedly exclaimed. But before he could finish speaking, Mu Chong kicked him away.
"Ah! Captain! You've launched a sneak attack..."
Slard's figure flew directly off the deck of the Freedom, leaving behind a trail of increasingly faint sounds in the air.
"Pfft! Hahahaha!"
This farce brought a joyful atmosphere to the sea, and smiles were visibly appearing on everyone's faces.
"Hey! Are you really sure? Once you step onto this ship, you'll never again enjoy a safe haven like Tiger God Island. Danger is everywhere on this high seas, and you could face danger at any moment. Are you sure you won't regret it?"
Dressed in a white robe, Mu Chong turned to look at the graceful Caroline standing beside him and spoke calmly and slowly.
"Hmm? What? Captain! Do you regret agreeing to come aboard? It's too late now! My decision, Caroline's decision, is final! Besides, I've always longed for the world beyond these seas since I was a child! I don't regret making this decision!"
She had long, flowing white hair tied in a high, spirited ponytail, wore a white robe embroidered with golden patterns, and tall boots that accentuated her long, straight legs.
"Besides! I've already eaten the Devil Fruit you gave me, which is equivalent to acknowledging that I'm a crew member on the Liberty! Hehehe!"
After Caroline finished speaking, she smiled at Mu Chong, her beautiful face becoming even more stunning.
"Hehehe! I only have two Devil Fruits at the moment. They were originally meant to thank Grandpa Gashi for his help, but I didn't expect that old man to let you choose! It seems that the old man really dotes on you!"
Mu Chong looked at Caroline, his thoughts drifting back to yesterday evening when, as he offered two Devil Fruits as a token of gratitude, Grandpa Kashi gave the opportunity to Caroline, who then chose the Float-Float Fruit that originally belonged to Shiki the Golden Lion.
"Hehehe! Of course! My ancestors loved me the most..."
As Caroline finished speaking, her voice suddenly faded, and tears slowly welled up in her bright eyes. Her gaze then swept across Tiger God Island, landing on the towering Colossus Peak that seemed to pierce the clouds.
Woo! Woo! Woo!
Just then, a series of deep, resonant horn sounds suddenly echoed from Tiger God Island, the sound long, deep, and powerful.
"Farewell, Princess Garcia of the Kingdom!"
"Farewell, Princess Garcia of the Kingdom!"
"Farewell, Princess Garcia of the Kingdom!"
As the bugle sounded, deafening shouts echoed across the entire east coast. At that moment, Caroline's tears streamed down her face.
"Waaaaah! Father! Mother! Eldest brother! You must all take good care of yourselves!"
Even Caroline, who had always been passionate about strength, burst into tears at this moment, overwhelmed by the pain of leaving home. She gripped the ship's edge, leaned forward, and shouted loudly at the three figures standing in the crowd on the east coast.
Seeing this, Mu Chong, who was standing nearby, gently patted Caroline's back before slowly leaving the deck of the Liberty.
With Mu Chong gone, the others also prepared for their new beginnings, leaving this moment to Caroline.
"Reporting, General! All supplies have been loaded! There is not a single problem!"
After a long while, a soldier ran to the bottom of the Liberty and shouted loudly to the silver-armored general.
"Alright! All personnel, listen to my command! Assemble in front of the ship!"
Boom!Boom!Boom!
At the command of the silver-armored general, all the soldiers responsible for this loading mission stood in unison on the beach beneath the Liberty.
"Bowing! Respectfully seeing off the First Princess!"
"Respectfully seeing off the eldest princess!"
The next moment, two hundred soldiers solemnly saluted Caroline atop the Liberty, then retreated under the leadership of the silver-armored general.
Caroline, witnessing this scene, was already sobbing uncontrollably, her eyes blurred with tears, and in her vision, Tiger God Island seemed to recede further and further away.
The Freedom set sail again, heading for Roggetown in the East China Sea.
……
Sabaody Archipelago, a naval base
boom!
"Search! We absolutely cannot let that guy get away! He stole important documents from headquarters; if this gets leaked, we'll all be dead!"
A vice admiral, clad in a white cloak of justice, roared angrily at the soldiers of the entire naval base. Just moments before, some reckless individual had infiltrated the naval base office and stolen the emergency transfer order that had been sent from headquarters just two days prior.
"Yes!"
With the vice admiral's roar, the entire naval base sprang into action. Thousands of sailors rushed out of the base and began a thorough search of the entire area.
"Lieutenant General! What should we do now? That's a top-secret document! We should request support from headquarters. If that guy gets away, and the contents of the document are leaked..."
"Shut up! I don't need you to remind me, of course I know what that is! Damn it, how dare he make a move so close to Marine Headquarters, who is this guy anyway?"
The lieutenant general angrily interrupted the major beside him, then looked ahead with a dark expression, his anger impossible to suppress.
Meanwhile, in a dilapidated house not far from the naval base, a man in a black cloak was breathing heavily, his face obscured by the large hood of the cloak.
"The Buster Call!! The force they're using to block the captain is the Buster Call!! Damn it! Cough cough cough! No, I must get this information to the captain as soon as possible!"
Suddenly, a voice filled with terror and panic came from the cloak's hood. From the tone of voice and the coughing, it was easy to tell that the man before them was seriously injured.
"What? How could this be? Where's my Den Den Mushi? This...this...Damn it! The battle just now knocked the Den Den Mushi out of my arms!"
Just as the man was about to take out his Den Den Mushi to contact the captain, he suddenly realized his arms were empty. At that moment, boundless fear descended upon him.
"No, no! We can't just sit here and wait to die! I have to find a Den Den Mushi! Yes, this is the outskirts of the Sabaody Archipelago, there must be Den Den Mushi here! Cough cough cough!"
The man's tone gradually shifted from panic to determination. As he spoke, he struggled to his feet and, without hesitation, walked out the door.
"We have to be quick!"
After confirming that no one was around, the man raised his hand to adjust the hood of his cloak, and, with his weakened body, resumed his escape, searching for a Den Den Mushi.
Meanwhile, the area surrounding the Sabaody Archipelago was gripped by panic due to the sudden appearance of naval forces, and countless cowardly pirates hurriedly boarded their ships and fled.
The Navy's extensive search was aimed at finding the man in black who stole important naval documents.
