Encountering Chaton

"Jailer, instead of worrying about us, you should worry more about yourself. The outside world is very dangerous. Remember to stay far away if you encounter a Great Pirate, and don't ever come back," Mia said.

"Don't worry! I cherish my life very much and would never do anything risky." After speaking, Mosen waved to the four of them and walked towards the exit of Extreme Cold Hell.

Emerging from Extreme Cold Hell, Mosen made his way to Magellan's office.

However, Mosen's luck wasn't great this time. Magellan was suffering from diarrhea when he arrived. Mosen waited for nearly an hour before Magellan finally emerged from the restroom.

"Mosen, are you here to report on the situation in Extreme Cold Hell this past month?" Magellan asked while adjusting his clothes.

"No, Lord Magellan, I'm here to request leave."

"Leave? Are you lonely in Extreme Cold Hell and want to get out for some fresh air?" Magellan asked, frowning.

"No, I'm very satisfied with my work environment. I'm requesting leave to visit my relatives back home. My parents moved us away from our hometown when I was very young, and they would return about every six years. Counting the time, it's about time for us to go back this year. My parents are no longer around, and as their child, I should fulfill this obligation in their stead."

Mosen's reason for requesting leave was genuine. His parents did indeed return to the island called Sphinx every few years, but they never took Mosen with them. Therefore, Mosen didn't know the island's exact location, let alone how to get back.

But Magellan didn't know this. Mosen's reason for leave was plausible, and after some thought, Magellan granted it.

Magellan then issued Mosen a permit. With this permit, Mosen passed through without any obstacles and successfully left Impel Down.

"Ah-ooh~ Ah-ooh~"

As soon as Mosen stepped out of Impel Down, he heard the cries of seagulls. The sea breeze, carrying the smell of fish, blew towards him, giving Mosen a feeling of being reborn.

"Although I love the icy, snowy environment of Extreme Cold Hell, it's nice to feel the sea air once in a while!" Mosen muttered to himself.

"Hey~ Young man over there, you're from Impel Down, right? Where are you headed? Want us to give you a ride?"

The shout from a nearby warship interrupted Mosen's thoughts. Mosen turned his head and saw that the person shouting was an "old acquaintance."

Calling him an old acquaintance was a stretch, as they had only met once. When Mosen was first introduced to Marine Headquarters, they had met. He was one of the two Marine Admiral candidates from the original story, Chaton Tokikake.

Mosen found the codename "Chaton" quite amusing. As everyone knows, "ton" means pig. So, does that mean Chaton is a green pig when it's green tea, a red pig when it's black tea, and a spotted pig when it's flower tea?

Despite his thoughts, Mosen had a good impression of Tokikake. In the original story, Tokikake's personality was very easygoing, even a bit shameless. He had a great relationship with Fujitora and was very popular among citizens, although many within the Navy disliked him. Furthermore, he had been in love with Momousagi and had confessed to her 100 times, only to be rejected each time.

Of course, Mosen's good impression of Tokikake wasn't solely based on the description in the original story. It was more because when Mosen wanted to participate in Vegapunk's Lineage Factor experiment, Tokikake, who was present, expressed his opposition. Tokikake believed that a talented young man like Mosen shouldn't participate in such a dangerous experiment but should instead be trained by Zephyr to become a pillar of the Navy in the future.

However, Mosen at the time didn't understand Tokikake's good intentions. Thinking that Tokikake was hindering his progress, Mosen hadn't treated him well. Thinking back, Mosen felt a pang of guilt. He had mistaken kindness for malice, which was inexcusable. He should at least go and express his gratitude now, shouldn't he?

Thus, Mosen turned around and boarded Tokikake's warship.

"Young man, have we met somewhere before? You look a bit familiar!" Tokikake asked, scratching his head.

"Lord Tokikake, I'm Mosen. You objected to me participating in the Frozen Lineage Factor modification experiment before, saying it was too dangerous."

"Oh~ I remember now! It's you! I heard that out of the 50 people who underwent the Lineage Factor modification, only 8 survived. And those 8 people all suffered injuries to varying degrees. How are you feeling now? Any discomfort?" Tokikake asked.

"Thank you for your concern. My body is fine now. I didn't understand your good intentions back then, and my attitude was poor. Please don't take it to heart," Mosen said sheepishly.

"Hahaha! There are plenty of people in the Navy who dislike me, so you don't need to worry about it. By the way, Mosen, where were you headed? If it's on the way, I can give you a ride," Tokikake said with a smile.

"I'm going to the North Blue," Mosen said casually.

"North Blue! What a shame, then I can only take you part of the way. I'm heading to the East Blue."

Mosen remained outwardly calm, but inwardly, he was pondering. Tokikake was going to the East Blue. At this time, there shouldn't be anything significant happening in the East Blue, right? No, wait! Something is happening! Mosen suddenly remembered that in the original story, Ace was 20 years old when he was executed. At this point in time, Ace had most likely already been born and adopted by Garp. Garp should be frequently returning to the East Blue to see his child. Tokikake's trip to the East Blue was most likely related to this matter.

"Speaking of the North Blue! The North Blue hasn't been peaceful lately either! A few years ago, Flevance suffered an epidemic, and everyone in the country died. Not long after, a certain Donquixote Family emerged and started seizing territory. And the Vinsmoke family isn't behaving either. Mosen, you need to be careful when you go to the North Blue!"

Tokikake's words interrupted Mosen's thoughts. Mosen quickly replied, "Thank you for your concern, I'll be careful."

Seeing Mosen appear to be listening attentively, Tokikake felt he had gotten through to him and didn't say anything further.

For the next two days, Mosen stayed on Tokikake's ship. During this time, Tokikake also sparred briefly with Mosen to test his strength. When facing Tokikake, Mosen deliberately concealed his Frozen Lineage Factor, fighting only with the Six Powers and Haki.

With Tokikake's discerning eye, he could tell that Mosen's Armament Haki was still nascent and unrefined. However, his mastery of Observation Haki was quite high. More importantly, Mosen appeared to be only 15 years old. Tokikake was quite surprised that Mosen had awakened Two Types of Haki at such a young age. Even some elites at Marine Headquarters rarely awakened Two Types of Haki at 15, let alone the fact that Mosen not only possessed Two Types of Haki but had also cultivated the Six Powers to such a high level of proficiency. Tokikake estimated that Mosen's current strength would be more than enough to deal with Pirates with Bounties below 50 million Belly. Few below the rank of Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral could match Mosen; this child was undeniably a rare talent.
