First Arrival in the West Sea

Tokikake felt that Mosen was exceptionally talented and became even more concerned about him.

For the next two days, Tokikake instructed Mosen on how to more skillfully integrate Haki and Six Powers.

As an old Marine, Tokikake had his own unique understanding of Six Powers and Haki. A few simple words and a few small tips on using Six Powers greatly inspired Mosen.

If it weren't for reaching Reverse Mountain and their destinations being different, Mosen really wouldn't have wanted to part ways with Chaton so easily.

"Mosen! Are you interested in returning to Marine Headquarters?" Tokikake suddenly asked as Mosen was about to disembark.

Tokikake's question caught Mosen by surprise.

"Mosen, your talent is immense and shouldn't be wasted in a place like Impel Down. If you return to Marine Headquarters, you can learn Two Types of Haki more completely and have the chance to obtain a Devil Fruit, which would be very beneficial for your future growth," Tokikake advised.

Hearing this, Mosen understood that Tokikake genuinely believed his talent deserved better cultivation.

To be honest, Mosen hadn't considered returning to Marine Headquarters at the moment because he still had things to do in Impel Down.

Ever since Mosen awakened his past life memories, he had been planning this. Controlling Extreme Cold Hell and learning Two Types of Haki were all preparations for this matter.

Whether this matter could succeed was related to Mosen's future, so Mosen absolutely would not go to Marine Headquarters at this time.

Thus, Mosen put on a righteous expression and said, "Lord Tokikake, I am very grateful for your appreciation. However, during my time in Impel Down, I discovered that Extreme Cold Hell truly needs me.

Due to the cold weather, Den Den Mushi cannot be connected here, making it difficult to monitor the situation of the prisoners within Impel Down.

The prisoners in Extreme Cold Hell are all extremely vicious individuals with bounties over 100 million. From my observations, these prisoners have already banded together for survival. They can cooperate to kill Military Wolves for food.

Once they gain a foothold in Extreme Cold Hell, it will be a disaster for Impel Down.

As a Marine, I absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen. I will protect Impel Down, and I will never let these prisoners return to the sea to threaten the safety of ordinary citizens.

Therefore, I will not leave until the hidden crisis in Extreme Cold Hell is completely resolved. Please forgive me, Lord Tokikake."

After listening to Mosen's words, Tokikake was deeply moved. What a noble young man! But the more he was like this, the more Tokikake couldn't bear to see Mosen waste the most important years of his life.

Tokikake said earnestly, "Mosen, you should think about it again! If you stay in Impel Down, no one can guide you in learning Haki, no one can teach you swordsmanship, and you won't have the chance to obtain a Devil Fruit.

If you languish in Impel Down for a few years, it could very well affect your future growth ceiling!"

"Lord Tokikake, I have my own plans regarding this matter, but as I said, if I cannot resolve the hidden crisis in Extreme Cold Hell, I will not leave."

Tokikake fell silent upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that a 15-year-old child like Mosen would be willing to sacrifice his future for the safety of Impel Down and its citizens.

The resources available in Impel Down and Marine Headquarters were worlds apart.

Even knowing this, Mosen resolutely chose to stay in Impel Down.

Putting himself in Mosen's shoes, Tokikake felt he wouldn't have chosen to stay in Impel Down.

However, Tokikake also understood that Mosen's attitude was so firm that he couldn't persuade him. Therefore, Tokikake stopped trying to persuade him and simply patted Mosen's shoulder, saying, "Mosen, if you change your mind, you can contact me anytime, and I will help you."

"I understand, thank you, Lord Tokikake."

Tokikake nodded and ordered the warship to sail away from Reverse Mountain.

After watching Tokikake leave, Mosen breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, Mosen hadn't expected Tokikake to suddenly suggest he go to Marine Headquarters. If he had left Impel Down beforehand, his entire plan would have been disrupted, and all his efforts would have been in vain.

Meanwhile, on Tokikake's warship, one of his trusted subordinates approached and asked, "Lord Tokikake, have you really given up on having this child return to Marine Headquarters?"

"His attitude is firm, and I can't persuade him. But if I can't, it doesn't mean others can't," Tokikake said with a smile.

"Are you referring to Mr. Sengoku?"

"That's right. After I pick up Mr. Garp, I'll report this child's situation to Mr. Sengoku. I believe Mr. Sengoku won't stand by and watch such an excellent young man waste his years."

Returning to Mosen's side, Mosen had originally planned to wait at Reverse Mountain to see if any ships would pass by.

However, Mosen waited for over two hours and still saw no ships. As it was getting dark, Mosen had no choice but to forcibly cross Reverse Mountain.

Mosen reached his hand into the seawater, controlling the cold to freeze a portion of it, creating a small boat made of ice.

Mosen steered the small boat across Reverse Mountain and entered the West Blue.

Just then, the scene was witnessed by Croccus, the former doctor of the Roger Pirates.

This old man guarded the lighthouse at Twin Capes every day, leisurely reading newspapers while waiting for the Rumba Pirates with the whale Laboon.

Tokikake's warship had attracted Croccus's attention earlier.

After all, Croccus had served on Roger's ship and was somewhat wary of the Navy. Every time a Navy warship passed by, he would pay close attention, and this time was no exception.

Mosen disembarking from the warship naturally caught Croccus's attention. Seeing Mosen standing there alone for over two hours, he guessed that Mosen wanted to hitch a ride across Reverse Mountain.

Croccus estimated that Mosen's destination was different from that of the warship, and they were likely heading to two different seas, which was why they parted ways midway.

As dusk settled, Croccus felt that Mosen wouldn't get a ride today. He was hesitating whether to greet Mosen when he saw Mosen reach his hand into the seawater. The next second, a small ice boat emerged from the water.

"Is this guy a Devil Fruit user? The ability to freeze seawater seems similar to the abilities of that kid named Kuzan who used to follow Garp around! Is it the Snow-Snow Fruit, a Logia, or the Temperature-Temperature Fruit, a Paramecia?" Croccus muttered to himself.

On the other side, Mosen had just crossed Reverse Mountain when he encountered a group of Pirates robbing a merchant ship not far away.

Mosen had no reason to stand by and watch such an event, but he didn't act rashly either.

On one hand, Mosen had told Chaton when they parted ways that he was going to the North Blue. Appearing in the West Blue now might attract unwanted attention from someone, which would be troublesome.

On the other hand, Mosen needed to first figure out the number of pirates and their approximate strength. The prerequisite for saving people is being able to defeat them; otherwise, it's not saving people but sending oneself to death.
