Dream King

Chapter 18

Mo Mo "..."

"I'm not going back. Anyway, I'm already the captain's woman, so I'll follow him wherever he goes." Makino rolled her eyes at Mo Mo.

"You just realized? I knew from the first day we met the captain. No one who boards the ship can escape. Otherwise, why would the captain only date girls? The entire pirate crew is basically the captain's..." Olvia stared at Mo Mo with a resentful look. As if sensing the women's resentment, Mo Mo turned and fled to the bridge to start the ship. As for supplies, did the Goddess need them? No, because the Goddess itself had a small biosphere, about the size of a small island, slightly smaller than Ohara—really, just a tiny bit. This was one of Mo Mo's achievements over the past six years.

The voyage route was determined, and the destination was the East China Sea.

Donghai Cocoa West Village.

"Oh no, pirates! A pirate ship is coming towards our village! Ah, no, great news! A pirate ship is coming towards our village!"

"What are you saying? What's wrong with it or what's too good? Is it good or bad? And having pirates coming here is never a good thing!" Ah Jian scolded.

"It's...it's...it's Falling Flower...The Falling Flower Pirates are coming to our village."

"The Falling Flower Pirates, is it Nami and the others who are back?"

Leaving the villagers who came to deliver the news, Ah Jian ran towards the dock. "Nami, Nojiko, Bellemere, are you all alright? I miss you so much. Have you missed us? Have you missed everyone in Cocoyasi Village?"

When Ah Jian arrived at the dock, the Falling Flower Pirates had already been surrounded by villagers, and all that could be seen was a sea of heads.

"Make way, make way, stop crowding, quickly disperse and let people out, everyone stop crowding."

"Long time no see! Everyone is so enthusiastic! Did you miss me, everyone?"

"Who would want you, you naughty kid!"

"Exactly, exactly. We're thinking about Nojiko and Bellemere, who would want you, you naughty kid?"

"Oh my god, how heartless of you! You want to buy new wallets again?"

Upon hearing this threat, the villagers of Cocoyasi Village instinctively tightened their purses, as if they were about to fly into Nami's hands at any moment.

Seeing this, Mo Mo's lips twitched. Sure enough, even without a tragic childhood, Nami had still developed extraordinary skills, leaving nothing behind in her wake. In Nami's own words, "Since we can easily obtain beautiful treasures, why bother risking our lives? Besides, I'm just taking treasures that don't belong to them in the first place."

After dealing with the enthusiastic villagers, the sun was already setting. Although Mo Mo and his group arrived at noon, the entire afternoon was enough to demonstrate the enthusiasm of the villagers of Cocoa West Village and the popularity of the Falling Flower Pirates.

"You really are here. I knew you were in the orange grove when I didn't see you after I finished cooking. Nami wasn't lying to me. The sunset in the orange grove is really beautiful." Looking at the fiery red sunset, Mo Mo sat down next to Bellemere.

The two sat quietly watching the sunset, neither speaking, simply gazing at the fading light. Mo Mo glanced at Bellemere, who, bathed in the sunset's glow, appeared almost holy, shimmering with golden light. Combined with the languid allure inherent in the Nine-Lives Cat Demon, Bellemere possessed a fatal attraction. Mo Mo couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful!"

As if hearing Mo Mo's thoughts, Bellemere tilted her head and smiled, "What's truly beautiful? Is it me? Or the sunset?"

Even the most beautiful sunset can't compare to the beauty of you in this moment.

Bellemere, who had only been smiling, burst into a wide smile after hearing those words, then reached out and wrapped her arms around Mo Mo's neck, pressing her lips firmly against his.

As the sun sets, a young couple basks in the golden sunlight of an orange grove, indulging in unbridled revelry.

The setting sun sank completely into the distance, leaving only the clouds in the sky with a last glimmer of light, telling of the sunset's lingering resentment.

"You're finally back! I've been waiting for you so long, I'm starving! Let's eat!" Nami shouted, urging everyone to start eating, unaware that her mother had already been devoured by someone.

After spending three days in Cocoyasi Village, the Falling Flower Pirates, carrying everyone's blessings, set sail again for their next destination: Seymour Village.

Three days later, standing outside the Kendo Dojo of Kuina's family and looking at the small, knife-cut hill in the distance, Mo Mo sighed, "Nature is truly amazing. The top of the small hill looks like it was cut by a knife, and there is even a section of the hill at the foot that looks like it was cut off."

"Mr. Mo, you have quite the refined taste, even enjoying the scenery? But Mr. Mo, you have excellent taste. This mountain is called Knife-Cut Peak. It is said that this peak offended the gods because it soared into the clouds and reached straight into the heavens, and the gods, in their anger, cleaved it in two with their swords." Guina's father strolled out of the house, his words full of teasing.

"Ah! The weather is nice today! Have you eaten? The food I made was really good, and Kuina and the others loved it."

Seeing Mo Mo start joking around, Kuina's father shook his head and didn't pursue the matter further. "Treat Kuina well. If she's unhappy, I won't let you off the hook. Although it was Kuina's choice, I am, after all, Kuina's father. For my daughter's sake, I must do something. So come on, give it your all."

Kuina, Minami, and the others are making dumplings in the sword hall. As for why they know how to make dumplings, it's because Mo Mo taught them. As for the reason, as the saying goes, nothing tastes better than dumplings, and nothing is more fun than... well, you're all experienced drivers, so you all know what I mean.

Clang! Clang clang clang! Boom! Bang bang bang!

"There's a fight going on. One of them is a swordsman, and the other is Brother Mo Mo. Let's go out and take a look." As soon as she finished speaking, Guina disappeared from the house.

When Kuina arrived at the scene of the battle, the battle was already over. A middle-aged man and a young man were playing chess under a crooked tree. They looked so peaceful and focused.

"Father, are you bullying Mo? I made all these choices myself, and I'm very happy now. Why do you keep making trouble for Mo?"

"Ah! Kuina, what brings you here? Your father didn't bully me, we didn't do anything, we just thought the scenery here was nice and came to play some chess."

"Yes, we're just playing chess."

"Playing chess? Can playing chess result in sword marks everywhere? Can playing chess cause mountains to collapse and rivers to change course?"

Mo Mo looked around at the shattered environment caused by his battle with Kuina's father and smiled awkwardly.

"Don't worry, Ina, our matter has been resolved. From now on, your father will only bless you. Dad promises you that he won't cause any more trouble for Xiao Mo, right, Xiao Mo?"

"Um... Xiao Mo, oh right, I'm actually only about twenty years old, so I really am Xiao Mo." Mo Mo suddenly seemed to have thought of something and readily accepted the nickname Xiao Mo.

After staying at Kuina's house for three more days, the group continued their voyage towards the Grand Line.

The sun was shining brightly, the sea was calm, and a large, sailless ship sailed steadily on the ocean.

Boom! One second it was sunny and calm, the next it was dark and stormy.

"This weather is changing! Upside-down Mountain, Red Earth Continent, we're almost there. Stay alert, Nami, navigate, I'll steer, the rest of you, protect yourselves."

“I see it. It’s a light, a guiding light, a lighthouse that guides us into the Grand Line. Ink, proceed with confidence toward the light.”

“Received! Don’t worry, this isn’t my first time on the Grand Line.” Mo Mo added in his mind, “Although the previous times I just flew directly or crossed the Calm Belt without going through the Reverse Mountain, I have indeed been to the Grand Line a few times.”

"Wow! How spectacular! The seawater is climbing the mountain, and we are climbing the mountain right now. It's amazing that the ship is actually climbing the mountain."

"I've returned to the Grand Line! Ladies of the sea and sea, prepare to receive my favor!"

There were a lot going on during the Qingming Festival, so this chapter might be a bit low in quality. Please bear with it for now.

Chapter 30 Kidnapping Weiwei

"Wow...it's huge! What is that? It's going to crash into us, Captain! Turn around! It's going to crash into us! I don't want to die! I'm not an adult yet! I still have so many Berries to spend! Waaaaah!" Nami orz.

"What a huge whale! We can eat it for a long time! Captain, let's catch it and keep it as a pet!" Kaya shook Mo Mo's arm and started to act cute and charming.

Mo Mo: “(￣△￣；)” “Why do you catch them to keep as pets if they can be eaten for a long time? If they don’t behave, you cut off a piece of their flesh to eat?”

"Successfully dodged it. Nami, you actually didn't trust my skills? You're being fined half a month's allowance. And Kaya, this whale belongs to someone else, you can't catch it." Looking at the huge whale in front of him, Mo Mo stroked his chin and thought to himself, "It seems Luffy hasn't set sail yet, at least not into the Grand Line. Otherwise, Laboon would have a crooked Straw Hat Pirates symbol on his head. I've kidnapped Nami, I wonder if Luffy can still find the entrance to the Grand Line, or if he'll be captured by Garp and made a Marine? Hehehe, whatever, the Child of the World isn't so easy to kill, especially the protagonist Luffy, who's like a cockroach."

"No, Brother Mo Mo, please don't take away my allowance! As long as you don't take away my allowance, Brother Mo Mo, I'll do whatever you want." Looking at Nami, who was clinging to his arm and practically hanging on him, looking pitiful, and hearing the ambiguous words coming from her luscious red lips, Mo Mo swallowed hard.

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Nami is still young." Then Mo Mo's mind conjured up Nami's breasts, which were already close to a D cup. "They seem quite large now. Maybe I should just take advantage of this and eat them up." He swallowed hard and turned his head away with difficulty. "Then I'll deduct one-fifth of your allowance. That can't be any less. If you doubt me again, I definitely won't let you off the hook. The same goes for you. If you dare to question me, you'll all be punished according to family rules and executed without mercy."

On the other side, on the vast sea, a boy wearing a straw hat and a boy with green hair lay face up in a small boat.

"Zoro, I'm so hungry! How much longer until we get there? I've decided, the next crew member will definitely find a cook so we won't go hungry."

The green-haired boy leaning against the ship's railing glanced at the boy who was spread-eagled and said weakly, "Our most important task right now is not to find a cook, but to find a navigator. Without a navigator, let alone going on an adventure to the Grand Line, we'll probably get lost at sea before we even find the Reverse Mountain. I don't want to drift aimlessly at sea with an idiot anymore."

Luffy: "..." "Let's eat the bird, let's eat that bird!" He said, pointing to the bird flying overhead.

Zoro "..."

"old man"

"Aha! Ah! Ahh! Help!"

"That idiot, I knew it would happen." Zoro watched as Luffy was carried in the beak of the giant bird and desperately rowed after it.

Meanwhile, Mo Mo and his group had safely stopped. Looking at the lighthouse on the shore, Mo Mo suggested that they dock and ask around for information before making any further plans.

"Hey! There's someone in the sea, let's rescue them first!" Just as Mo Mo and the others were about to set sail, the sharp-eyed Nami spotted the person in the sea.

After docking the ship near the lighthouse, Mo Mo went to the living room on the first floor.

Mo Mo looked at the beautiful girl on the sofa and the girl with curly hair and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Isn't that Weiwei and that butler? What was the butler's name again? Oh! Right, I think it was Icarus. Weiwei! Tsk tsk tsk! She's really pretty!" Mo Mo shamelessly sized up Weiwei, whose curvaceous figure was revealed by the seawater.

The beautiful girl sitting on the sofa had long blue hair, fair and translucent skin, and large eyes. Although she was still young, she had a curvaceous figure, with long, straight legs. Her figure was no less impressive than Nami's, and her skin was even better. Having just been rescued from the sea, her clothes were clinging to her body, making her incredibly alluring. Although Weiwei was very pleasing to the eye, Mo Mo was a chivalrous person, so he asked Charlia to take Weiwei downstairs to change. As for the butler, after Weiwei left, Mo Mo waved his hand, and a flash of fire dried Icarum's clothes.

After Weiwei changed her clothes and came out, Mo Mo poured her a cup of tea and asked her to sit down before speaking: "Hello, I am the captain of this ship, my name is Mo Mo, are you all alright?"

"Thank you for your hospitality, Captain. We are much better now." He stood up and bowed to Mo Mo in thanks.

"How did you all fall into the sea? And what's the deal with that island whale? How did it get here?"

"We are residents of a nearby island. We were just about to buy some things and head back when we encountered this whale that went berserk and got swept away by the waves. Luckily, you appeared and saved us, otherwise we would have been dead. Thank you!" She then bowed to Mo Mo again.

"Oh, oh!" Mo Mo stroked his chin and walked around Weiwei, carefully examining her from head to toe until Weiwei's face turned completely red before letting her go.

"You saved my life! How do you plan to repay this debt? How about... you repay me with your body? What do you think?" Mo Mo teased.

"This...this...I...I need to go back and discuss it with my father."

Looking at Weiwei, who was blushing and fiddling with her fingers with her head down, Mo Mo thought to himself, "No way? She's shy already? That shouldn't be the case! She doesn't seem to be faking it. Oh my god, could it be that they haven't joined Crocodile's studio yet? Or is my charm so great that she fell in love with me at first sight? Hmm, I'll go with her and see what's going on."

"Where is your island? Is it far from here? If it's not far, I can give you a ride back on my way."

"It's not far. We have a permanent compass, so we can get there in less than three days. Besides, it's an island that one of the routes on the Grand Line must pass through."

And so, the Falling Flower Pirates followed the permanent pointer that Weiwei had been using.

Three days later, Whiskey Hill.

Wow! What a huge cactus!

"Yes, yes! It's huge!"

"That's not a cactus, that's just a mountain that looks like a cactus!"

Looking at the cactus before him, Mo Mo couldn't help but feel a chill. The anime paled in comparison to its real-life appearance. Even without having read the original work, Mo Mo's strength was enough to detect the mountain's anomaly. From a distance, the cactus's thorns were actually all tombstones, countless and densely packed. These were the tombstones of pirates killed by Baroque Works. Anyone who could come to the Grand Line was someone of considerable skill, yet this place was filled with tombstones. How many pirate crews could possibly manage to reach this point? This suggested just how terrifying the number of pirates on the high seas was, considering that even Crocodile's workshop could only retain a small number of its members.

With so many pirates, even if only a small portion of them committed evil deeds, the resulting tragedies would be countless, which further strengthened Mo Mo's determination to end the Age of Exploration.

"Roger, no matter what your reasons are, what you've done is unforgivable. How can you face those innocent people who died because of you?"

Looking at the Baroque Works bounty hunter Mo Mo who was lining the shore to welcome the Falling Flower Pirates, he couldn't help but sneer, "You'll be crying soon enough!"

The members of the Falling Flower Pirates were not like the Straw Hat crew. Apart from Momo, the others were not clear about the situation, but they were all on guard.

Looking at the crowd who were both immersed in the celebration and secretly on guard, Mo Mo felt gratified. It had not been in vain for his years of training.

They held a banquet, drank, sang, and reveled until late at night before finally coming to an end.

"These pirates are really stupid. They were all taken down so easily."

"These pirates may be stupid, but they're of really good quality! Look at their bodies! Look at their faces, tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it is exciting!"

"Yeah, it's a shame to kill them, but... hehehe! Let them have their fill of pleasure before they die!"
