Chapter 75: The Name of the Sword! White Snake!
After an unknown amount of time, when Mu Chong emerged from the giant python Nora's mouth, a mountain of gold of all kinds had been piled up in front of Nora, towering higher than a single-story building, resembling a golden mountain from afar.
"How can you eat everything? How can you even digest this stuff? Holy crap! Are you going to poop out gold?!"
Mu Chong said helplessly to Nora, "It's hard to imagine how this huge creature has survived until now with so much stuff inside its belly."
Roar!
The giant python Nora suddenly roared excitedly the moment it emerged from Mu Chong's path. It even swam and rolled across the ruins, seemingly happy, as if relieved of a great burden.
Because Nora caused such a commotion, several figures appeared beside her in just a few moments.
Enel arrived the fastest. He glanced around, then at the innocent-looking Mu Chong, and without a word, he vanished. Mu Chong could clearly see the "you bothered me" expression on his face.
Next up was Slade, who emerged directly from a large cloud of auspicious clouds.
"Captain, what's that noise?"
"Ah! A lot of gold was pulled out of Nora's belly, and that's how she looks now. Maybe she's been carrying too much burden and is feeling comfortable now!"
Mu Chong pointed to Nora, who was still jumping and darting around, and said to Scar...
Later, Ohm and Weber, who were patrolling Apayado, arrived with their team. After inquiring about the situation, they were waved away by Mu Chong.
"Captain, why don't you let them take all this gold?"
"Oh? Right, I forgot!"
Slard declared that since he was the captain, everything he said was correct, and then stood aside with his stick.
boom!
With a loud crash as the wall collapsed, the giant python Nora wriggled and slithered back, first lowering its head towards Mu Chong, then pointing its head towards the small mountain of gold.
"Hmm? Captain, what does this snake seem to be saying?"
At this moment, Slad, who was standing to the side, immediately spoke up, his tone full of surprise.
"gold?"
Mu Chong watched Nora's actions and fell into deep thought. Logically speaking, this girl lived in Shandora and shouldn't be so unfamiliar with gold, but now she came here specifically to have him examine the gold.
"Is there treasure?"
Two voices rang out simultaneously from Mu Chong and Slad. The two exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
Without a word, Mu Chong raised his hand and activated his Devil Fruit ability. The mountain of gold scattered rapidly and floated in mid-air.
For a moment, a blanket of gold covered the sky, its golden light gleaming brilliantly under the sun.
Mu Chong and Slad quickly looked up, carefully examining the gold in the air, but even after checking each piece, they couldn't find anything special; besides the gold, there were only a few weapons.
"Captain, I don't see anything different here. Besides all the gold nuggets, there are only a few weapons!"
Slade rested his chin on his hand, gazing at the gold lurking in the air. Aside from marveling at its sheer quantity, there was really nothing particularly remarkable about it.
"Am I overthinking it? Is this guy just trying to give these to us?"
Mu Chong also looked bewildered, and as he pondered, his gaze fell upon the giant python Nora beside him.
Roar!
Just then, the giant python Nora suddenly roared, and its more than one hundred-meter-long body instinctively retreated a considerable distance, its eyes filled with fear as it stared at the golden object floating in the air.
"Hmm? Something's not right, there's definitely something wrong with this gold!"
Mu Chong immediately noticed that Nora was acting strangely. If it were just gold, this girl wouldn't have reacted so strongly.
call!
Mu Chong flicked his white robe, and his body soared into the air, flying straight towards the golden object. Slad followed closely behind, also curious about what it was that could frighten the giant python so much.
Mu Chong and Slad examined the batch of gold closely, one by one.
"Captain! There's no problem..."
Slad examined it for a long time, almost pressing his face against it, but still couldn't find anything wrong. So he turned to Mu Chong and said...
But he stopped halfway through his sentence because he saw Mu Chong staring motionlessly at a white longsword.
"Captain, this knife?"
Slad flew over lightly and came to Mu Chong's side, also looking at the white longsword.
"Hmm, there's something wrong with this knife!"
Mu Chong hovered in the air, his eyes never leaving the sword before him. His Observation Haki frantically enveloped the blade. If he hadn't just checked each piece of gold, Mu Chong's Observation Haki wouldn't have been able to detect the trace of blood energy contained within the sword.
That's right, it's blood and qi.
The knife floated quietly in the air, seemingly no different from the gold beside it. However, its pure white hilt and scabbard, along with its nearly two-meter length, made it stand out from the crowd.
Looking at the knife, a red light flashed in Mu Chong's eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up. Then, he slowly extended his right hand and grasped the blade of the white longsword.
"Since you've consciously chosen me, wouldn't it be unromantic of me to leave like this?"
Just as Mu Chong completely enveloped the sword with his Observation Haki, a voice suddenly flashed through his mind, urging him to grip the sword.
But the moment the sound appeared, it was dispersed by another domineering consciousness, existing for only a fleeting moment before disappearing without a trace. Nevertheless, Mu Chong chose to grasp the knife.
A sudden change has occurred!
"Huh? This is..."
The instant Mu Chong grasped the knife, boundless blood energy erupted, enveloping his body and frantically penetrating his flesh. Thick, dark blood vessels even seeped into his temples.
In just a moment, Mu Chong was quickly enveloped in a bright red blood cocoon.
choke!
The next moment, the blade automatically left its sheath and hovered precisely above the blood cocoon. Strands of blood continuously emerged from the blade and seeped into the blood cocoon, gradually turning the cocoon a dark reddish-black color until it became completely pure black. Only then did the blood threads on the blade stop emerging.
However, the blade suddenly began to slowly descend, gradually piercing into the black blood cocoon.
hum!
"Hey, hey, hey, you want to devour your master so soon? Disobedient weapons will be buried by history. Behave yourself, or I won't hesitate to destroy you!"
Just as the blade was about to pierce the black blood cocoon, an incomparably domineering aura instantly filled the entire cocoon, and then cracks appeared on the cocoon.
boom!
In just a moment, the blood cocoon shattered completely, revealing Mu Chong in his white robe.
"Hahahaha! What a fine blade! From now on, you'll follow me! White Snake!"
Mu Chong held the scabbard in his left hand and the hilt of the sword in his right, his eyes fixed on the sword in his hand, and couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.
This knife is really interesting!
The entire knife is pure white, from the blade and hilt to the scabbard. It measures a full 1.6 meters in length, with the blade approximately 1.2 meters long and the hilt about 0.4 meters long. The overall design resembles a Miao knife.
The knife looked ordinary, except for the snake head with its forked tongue at the junction of the hilt and the blade, which made it stand out.
The snake's head, with its mouth wide open, is biting the blade. Its body extends backward and is embedded in the hilt. Two sharp fangs from its mouth are embedded in the blade on either side, and its forked tongue, also white, is inlaid on either side of the blade.
The moment Mu Chong grasped the knife, the name of the White Snake flashed into his mind.
"Captain? Captain?"
Just then, Slad's voice came from behind Mu Chong, his tone full of inquiry.
"Huh? What's wrong, Slad?"
Mu Chong sheathed his longsword, satisfied, and slung it at his waist. Then he turned and looked at Slad with a puzzled expression.
"Are you alright, Captain?"
"I?"
"Yes, Captain, you've been standing here without moving ever since you took that knife. The sun was almost setting, and I only came back to normal when I saw you smile just now!"
"Really?"
Upon hearing Slad's words, a red light flashed in Mu Chong's eyes again. He then looked down at the white snake at his waist and patted the blade with his left hand.
"Hahaha! What a fine knife! What a fine knife!"
