Chapter 105: Hades? It doesn't matter!
The moonlight, already peeking through the clouds, shone directly onto the massive black object, revealing a square Poneglyph before Robin's eyes.
"This is... the Poneglyph!"
Having clearly seen the object's true form, Robin muttered to himself and subconsciously took two steps forward. But as if something had occurred to him, he suddenly stopped and quickly turned to look at Mu Chong.
"Hero! Why do you possess the Poneglyphs? And why are you displaying them so openly outside? Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the World Government?"
Robin was completely baffled by Mu Chong's actions. Everyone who discovers a Poneglyph would carefully hide it, but this guy just left it out there for a whole day.
"Hahahaha! I discovered this Poneglyph by chance when I came to the Kingdom of Alabasta. Knowing that you were here, I specially prepared to give it to you. As for the World Government, pshaw! So what if they found it? It's not important to me anyway!"
Mu Chong crossed his arms and looked at Robin, who had a blank expression, with a big smile. And you have to admit, she was quite cute.
"Hehehe! That's hard to believe, hero. You're quite different from others. If this Poneglyph was discovered within the Kingdom of Alabasta, according to the information provided by Sha Crocodile, it's very likely that it contains information about Hades. Aren't you interested in that?"
Robin remained standing in place, not rushing to check the information recorded in the Poneglyphs, but instead curiously asking Mu Chong...
"Hehehe! Robin, actually, you have a pretty good smile!"
Mu Chong looked at Robin, who was smiling in the moonlight, and suddenly said something. Seeing Robin's face freeze instantly, he immediately continued...
"Ahem! That's not important, not important at all. I'm not interested in that thing. Putting aside whether the Hades that's been buried for eight hundred years can still be used, I can do that too, with its ability to destroy an island with a single shot. Um... I think I'd need two shots, hahahahaha!"
Mu Chong rested his chin on his hand, striking a cool, thoughtful pose, and confidently said to Robin...
Robin, who had initially composed herself after being praised by Mu Chong, lost control of her expression again upon hearing that Mu Chong could destroy an island in two moves; her eyes were filled with shock.
"Hehehe! What an unfathomable man!"
Robin, utterly shocked, said something, then turned and walked to the Poneglyph. By the dim moonlight, she began to read its information.
Behind him, Mu Chong stood with his arms crossed, his eyes constantly scanning Robin's back, a smile occasionally appearing on his face.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment; one person was working diligently, while the other watched her with a face full of doting affection.
After a long while, Robin slowly turned around, faced Mu Chong who was smiling, and said...
"Hero, this historical record states..."
"Hahahaha! You don't need to tell me what's written down, Robin! If the information is useful to you, just remember it yourself!"
Before Robin could finish speaking, Mu Chong interrupted her, his eyes filled with sincerity, and said...
At this moment, Robin quietly looked at Mu Chong, the faint wariness in her eyes gradually replaced by a clear light.
"Did you like the gift I gave you, Robin?"
Mu Chong lowered his arms from his chest, pointed to the Poneglyphs behind Robin, and said...
"Thank you……"
Robin pressed down on his wide-brimmed hat, struggling to control his trembling body, and said softly.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Stab it!
"Captain, the sandman has woken up and wants to see you!"
Just as Mu Chong was about to take another step, a white light suddenly flashed in the night sky, and then Enel's figure appeared on the Poneglyph.
"Damn it! Let's go see that sand crocodile!"
Mu Chong's gentle gaze instantly turned furious, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"Uh! I... I'm sorry to bother you! Goodbye!"
Enel suddenly sensed a murderous aura and decisively disappeared from the Poneglyphs.
"Hehehe!"
Seeing Mu Chong's embarrassed expression, Robin blushed and covered her mouth with a laugh.
Then, using his Devil Fruit power, Mu Chong transformed the Poneglyph back into the shape of a golden horse and a chariot, leaving it there once more.
Then, extending his right arm, he forcefully pulled Robin into his arms, and with a light touch of his feet, the two flew towards the inn in Yoba City.
Faced with Mu Chong's actions, Robin did not refuse at this moment, but simply stayed quietly close to Mu Chong's body.
……
The hotel, Shakrodal's room
When Mu Chong and Robin entered the room, they saw Crocodile leaning against the headboard, a room full of wounded soldiers, and Slade and others.
"Meow!!!"
When the white cat Mumu saw Mu Chong come in, it was the first to pounce on him and rub its big head against his body.
"captain!"
Slad and the others quickly stood up and addressed Mu Chong.
The remaining seven members of the Baroque Works all instinctively avoided Mu Chong's gaze when they saw him, except for Weiwei, who stared at him intently.
"Humph!"
Crocodile, sitting on the bed, saw Mu Chong sitting on the sofa and snorted coldly.
"Hahahaha! You're really tough! Crocodile! This didn't kill you!"
Mu Chong placed the white snake next to the sofa, crossed his legs, placed his hands on his lap, and said calmly.
boom!
"You bastard! Untie these sea stone handcuffs, or I'll skin you alive!"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Crocodile instantly flew into a rage, but due to the seastone handcuffs, although he appeared incredibly tough, he was actually quite soft-hearted.
The seastone handcuffs on Sha Crocodile's hands were his own; he hadn't expected them to backfire so badly. As for why the Baroque Works members didn't remove them, with Slard and his group present, they dared not.
Ignoring the enraged Crocodile, Mu Chong turned his attention to the remaining Baroque Works members.
"Tsk tsk tsk! That was ruthless! Are only these seven people left?"
Mu Chong glanced around, his lips twitching as he looked at the group of men all wrapped in bandages.
Bald man, candle man, ladyboy man, woman with umbrella, woman painting, Vivi, Icarus
They all sat listlessly to the side, their injuries clearly quite severe, judging by the thick bandages. Only Weiwei and the painting girl escaped unscathed; one was merely a bystander, and the other was knocked unconscious by the white cat Mumu. The others were all seriously injured.
Robin, who was standing at the door, had already been removed from the Baroque Works membership list by Mu Chong.
"What exactly do you want, you chivalrous hero!"
Crocodile stared at Mu Chong, a fierce glint in his eyes, and coldly asked...
"Hahahaha! Hey, Slade, take these guys out of here. I need to talk to this crocodile alone!"
Mu Chong didn't answer Sha Crocodile's question, but instead said something to Slade.
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Slad immediately stood up and used his Cloud-Cloud Fruit ability on the wounded. Thick, white cloud ropes bound them, and without waiting for them to speak, he dragged them out of the room.
Immediately, screams of agony rang out from outside the door. Slad's attack was truly like rubbing salt into a wound.
Before long, only Mu Chong and Crocodile remained in the room. Neither of them spoke first, and the room fell into a brief silence.
"Hey, Old Sha! How about we talk?"
Mu Chong leaned back on the sofa, arms crossed, a smile on his face as he spoke.
"Hmph! I have nothing to talk to you about!"
Crocodile was still furious, but he seemed much better than before.
"Hahahaha! Crocodile, didn't you want to know about Hades? I can tell you!"
A red light flashed in Mu Chong's eyes, but he maintained his calm and composed demeanor as he slowly spoke.
"What? You bastard, what did you say?"
