After spending a night in the sea, the coldness was bone-piercing. Luffy had been traumatized by the water and had learned his lesson.
Although his true thoughts had not changed, at least on the surface, he had learned to obey.
The next day, when he came out of the sea, he didn't say much. Instead, he picked up a tool and took the initiative to repair the crack that had been caused by the kitchen knife last night.
Mu Yang was not in a hurry. He had to take things one step at a time. Changing a person's mindset had to be done one step at a time. Luffy was different from the previous Three Great Generals. He was very firm in his stance towards the pirates at the beginning, so he naturally needed more time to change.
He picked up his teacup and took a sip of hot tea."Luffy, why do you want to become a pirate? I want to hear your reason.”
At this moment, Luffy, who was cleaning the deck with a broom after mending the cracks, shivered. This was his instinctive reaction when he heard this voice. Right now, his legs seemed to be emitting cold air. This lesson was engraved in his heart!
" No…no reason. Old man, after a night of self-reflection, I've already understood my mistake. There are actually many disadvantages to being a pirate. From now on, I'll just focus on cultivating with you…"
Luffy revealed an innocent smile to hide his true thoughts.
After seeing the difference between them, he did intend to follow Mu Yang to cultivate. However, it was not to become a navy officer. Instead, he wanted to find Mu Yang's weakness and seize the opportunity to take his hat. Then, he would go out to sea, find his companions, and realize his dream of becoming the Pirate King.
This was also what Shanks had taught him. A true expert must learn to be patient!
"Tell me the truth." Mu Yang knew what he was thinking and pointed it out." Did you not soak enough last night?"”
Luffy quickly shook his head and said," I've soaked enough, I've soaked enough…Alright, old man, I'll tell you because I think pirates are the freest people on this sea. Also, this is related to my agreement with Shanks and someone else. I want to gather my companions and start adventuring. I can't let Ace be ahead of me!!”
"Is this your answer?" Mu Yang asked calmly.”
Luffy shrunk his neck and nodded firmly.""That's right, this is my answer…You asked me to tell you the truth just now. I'm just following your instructions.”
As he spoke, Luffy felt more and more guilty under Mu Yang's calm gaze. His tone softened again, afraid that he would come up with more tricks to torture him. This was even more ruthless than old man Karp.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything. It's just that…are pirates really as free as you say?”
Luffy was confused, but Mu Yang picked up his teacup after he said that. He had no intention of continuing.
He was deliberately hanging his appetite!
Luffy scratched his head. He really wanted to know the meaning of this sentence, but he knew his place and did not ask any more questions. Who knew if he would be thrown into the sea again to experience the feeling of living a life worse than death because of some careless words?
After a while.
A ship with a skull flag was sailing towards them.
This was undoubtedly a pirate ship. It hung the pirate flag and sailed ostentatiously on the sea. At this moment, on the deck, the captain was leading his underlings to eat meat and drink wine. They had just robbed a village and had a good harvest.
"Look at them. They do whatever they want now. Do they feel especially free?”
Luffy nodded and then shook his head. He didn't understand why he suddenly said that.
Mu Yang's tone was calm as he continued to speak, completing the sentence that had left him hanging," They are indeed free, but that was before I fell asleep…"
Mu Yang raised his finger. At first, there was a spark. Then, the spark became brighter and brighter, and its volume became larger. This was the shape formed by the compression of high-concentration flames.
"Now that I'm awake, the pirates in this sea will be completely different.”
As the faint voice rang out in the air again, Mu Yang pointed out his finger in front of Luffy's shocked eyes. The spark suddenly expanded and turned into a red ray that emitted a scorching aura. It cut through the air and illuminated the surface of the sea. White steam actually rose in the area where it passed!
The pirates on the opposite ship were still immersed in their drunken dreams and did not realize that a great disaster was imminent.
The pirates of the Eastern Sea were all rare aptitude users. They usually fought with machetes and close combat.| Fighting? He couldn't understand that there was such a method of killing in the world!
"Oh?"
The pirates in charge of keeping watch saw the scarlet light rapidly approaching from within the white steam.
"Am I seeing things?"
The pirate rubbed his eyes. In the next moment, the ray was already close at hand.
Swoosh ~~
The beam passed through the entire pirate ship and did not give the pirate a chance to sound a warning.
The pirate ship was easily pierced through, and in the next moment, flames soared into the sky. The pirate ship exploded and disappeared. The ship was engulfed by raging flames, and black smoke rolled out, emitting an extremely dense charred smell.
"You…"
Luffy now understood what he meant.
None of the pirates on that ship survived. They were all dead. How could they talk about freedom?
"Freedom? What a luxurious term."
Mu Yang's finger fell. It was this slender palm that had unleashed a terrifying attack and taken the lives of everyone on the boat.
"Continue. I want you to see the so-called freedom of pirates again.”Mu Yang said.
