Chapter 22: The Magnificent Fish-Man Island
Muchen couldn't contain his excitement as he approached the legendary Fish-Man Island. He Grow up while watching one pjece in his previous life, he had always dreamed of visiting this magnificent world. The temptation of the beautiful mermaids, these mythical creatures, was enough to make anyone silly with anticipation.
Despite his usually serious demeanor, Muchen couldn't help but wear a constant smile on his face. Standing beside him, Ain observed him intently, her curiosity peaked. She had never seen him behave this way before, which led her to believe that Muchen was simply a cold and stoic person. Naturally, she couldn't help but be concerned about his sudden change in behavior.
Finally unable to contain her curiosity any longer, Ain spoke up, "Mu Chen."
Muchen turned his head, looking at the beautiful face next to him in confusion. "Um?"
"What is making you so happy?" Ain asked, her eyes fixed on him with immense curiosity.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just excited to finally be going to Fish-Man Island," Muchen replied with a smile.
"Do you have any acquaintances on Fish-Man Island?" Ain inquired further.
"No, I have never been to Fish-Man Island in the New World," Muchen shook his head.
"Oh, do you have an appreciation for mermaids?" Ain's eyes held a hint of danger.
"Well, mermaids are known for their beauty, and it's common for men to appreciate beauty," Muchen replied obliviously, failing to notice the dangerous glint in Ain's eyes.
"Is that so? Do you think I'm beautiful?" Ain questioned, her eyes boring into Muchen's.
Unknown to Muchen, women tend to feel an inexplicable sense of competition when it comes to the men they like, especially when other beautiful women are in the picture.
"Uh, of course," Muchen nodded. Ain was indeed beautiful, there was no denying that. However, her arrogant personality sometimes overshadowed her physical beauty.
As Muchen spoke, Ain's lips lifted slightly, enhancing her already stunning appearance. She leaned forward, gently pressing against him, causing his heart to flutter. Her soft touch left Muchen momentarily breathless.
But their tender moment was abruptly interrupted by a warning from the soldiers monitoring the sea. "Alert! A large sea king is approaching!!!" The romantic atmosphere scattered instantly, Ain's face turned red, and she quickly distanced herself from Muchen.
Muchen couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. They were interrupted just as things were getting interesting. Sighing, he turned his attention to the enormous black shadow in the distance, feeling a twinge of annoyance. The sea king chose the wrong time to appear and ruin his....
In the blink of an eye, Muchen was standing in front of the large sea king, staring at him with cold gaze. Zephyr, who had heard the warning, quickly arrived at the scene with a serious expression. Facing off against a large sea king in the deep sea was no small matter. A single wrong move could result in the boat capsizing and everyone perishing.
Muchen paid little attention to Z,he crouch down slightly and clenched his right fist in front of his chest. The familiar white ball cover condensed around his fist, indicating the imminent unleashing of his devastating power.
Witnessing Muchen's actions, Z knew what was about to happen and he stepped back.
With a mighty punch, the space cracked and the sea was thrown into chaos. The large sea king's eyes rolled back, its blood gushing out uncontrollably. The NEO warship swayed violently under the force of the seaquake, and the soldiers and crew desperately clung to the hull to avoid being tossed into the sea.
The sea eventually calmed down, and the onlookers took a collective breath, their eyes filled with awe and reverence for Muchen's power. They had never witnessed such a display of strength before. The man who claimed to be Whitebeard's successor had demonstrated the same destructive capabilities as the famed pirate. There was no doubt that Muchen possessed the ability to shake the world.
They felt grateful that they were now part of an alliance, the soldiers and crew members were more determined than ever to create a new navy. Any lingering doubts or disrespect towards Muchen had been replaced by deep respect. In a world where strength dictated respect.
The journey resumed, and apart from a reckless sea king, the rest of the voyage was peaceful . Darkness enveloped the deep sea, prompting Muchen to retreat to his cabin and rest. Ain, on the other hand, didn't come to muchen after their interrupted moment earlier .
As they come closer to Fish-Man Island , Muchen couldn't help but admire its beauty. The island was surrounded by large bubbles and decorated with vibrant corals. Mermaids swam in the water, their laughter filling the air. It truly felt like a paradise.
Muchen's heart was filled with determination. He knew that he couldn't allow these beautiful mermaids to suffer in the current political climate. It was his admiration and love for them that drove him to take action. Of course, these feelings were purely platonic and devoid of any impure thoughts.
Unfortunately, Fish-Man Island was currently under the rule of Aunt Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors. Muchen knew that he couldn't take her head with his current strength. But he was confident that, with time and by defeating powerful opponents, he could gain the power necessary to protect the territories once ruled by Whitebeard.
With unwavering resolve, Muchen vowed to spread his name across the entire world and bring about a new era of justice. He was determined to make the Yonko and the World Government bow before him. Equipped with his system and unwavering confidence, Muchen knew that he had the means to achieve his goals.
After all, what was the point of being in this new world if he didn't strive for change?
