Mu Chen Wasn't Actually an Ability User

Episode 14, and Kuzan and the others knew it. The current Kuzan could be called the third man after Sakazuki and Borsalino—the third monster.

They also wanted to know who was stronger: the Marine rookie Kuzan or the newcomer Mu Chen.

They were also curious about what exactly Mu Chen's eyes were, so they did not stop them.

As for Garp, he wore a broad grin and said nothing. He was also curious about Mu Chen's current strength. Even if Mu Chen lost, it did not matter. He had already won, and Jia Ji could not say anything about it. But Mu Chen did not want to fight Kuzan just like that. He had already won, so what was there left to fight for?

Sorry, I am not fighting. I have already won, right?

Teacher Zephyr!

Mu Chen merely shrugged, looking completely unconcerned. Even the way he addressed Zefa had changed to "Teacher."

What?

You are not fighting?

Kuzan was dumbfounded. Mu Chen had actually refused his challenge. Where was the confidence and arrogance of an expert?

Shouldn't he accept whenever someone challenged him?

That was the only way to live up to his strength.

Kuzan was at just the age when young blood ran hot. Even Zefa and the others were baffled by Mu Chen's refusal.

Hahaha, Mu Chen, do you know when to quit while you are ahead?

Not bad, not bad!

Garp said with a laugh. He had not expected Mu Chen to be so composed. But how could he know that this was not composure at all? Mu Chen simply could not be bothered. "Teacher Zephyr, I am an Elite Training Camp student now, right?"

Uh, yes.

Zefa answered calmly. At that moment, he could not find any excuse to deny it.

New slacking identity: Zephyr's student, Marine Elite Training Camp student.

After hearing the system's voice, Mu Chen knew that his new slacking identity had been completed. "Oh, right, Teacher Zefa, I still have three hours of slacking time. When the time comes, you had better not—"

Before Mu Chen could finish, Zefa cut him off. "What slacking time? Did I agree to that?"

"As my student, you need to train diligently. Stop thinking about slacking off all day. That is settled."

Mu Chen was stunned. Zefa was being a complete bastard, refusing to honor his word. Damn, Mu Chen had absolutely never expected this.

Mu Chen, that kid Zefa played you!

Garp watched it all as though he were enjoying a show.

That is right. As a Marine, and especially as an Elite Training Camp student, you need to work hard. Do not spend all day thinking about slacking off.

Let us go, let us go. Sengoku, do not forget to buy me senbei now that I won!

Garp dragged Sengoku away.

It turned out that when Garp and Sengoku had met earlier, they had made a bet over whether Mu Chen could remain in the Marine Training Camp. Now that Garp had won, he was in an excellent mood. It seemed Sengoku had misjudged Mu Chen as well. Still, Garp's eye for people... Although Sengoku had lost, he knew that with Mu Chen joining the Marines, their combat strength would rise considerably. But he was still curious about what was going on with Mu Chen's eyes, and he had not forgotten what had just happened.

Alright, alright, I know what is up with that kid's eyes. I will tell you.

Sengoku and Garp chatted as they walked away.

Mu Chen, come with me!

Although Zefa really wanted Mu Chen to fight Kuzan, Mu Chen did not want to fight now, so it would have to wait until next time. Still, like Sengoku, Zefa was very curious about Mu Chen's ability. Was he a Devil Fruit user?

Mu Chen followed behind Zefa and left. Meanwhile, Kuzan looked deeply disappointed. Why would Mu Chen not fight? I really wanted to see you fight him, Kuzan. Hahaha, I think that kid was just scared. After all, Kuzan was a Devil Fruit user. He did not even know Haki, so he probably knew he could not beat Kuzan.

As Doberman and the others chatted, Kuzan said nothing. He withdrew his aura and left.

Meanwhile, Jiaji slowly opened his eyes.

What happened?

Jiaji shook his head in confusion.

Jiaji, you are awake. Do you remember what just happened?

Wu Shu walked over to Jiaji and helped him up.

Jiaji was completely bewildered, his gaze unfocused as though he were thinking about something.

What just happened...

Hm?

Wasn't I married to Gion?

Jiaji spoke calmly.

At that moment, Doberman and Onigumo also walked over to Jiaji. When they heard what Jiaji said, they frowned deeply.

Jiaji married Gion?

What kind of joke was that?

Jiaji, did Mu Chen kick your brain loose?

Onigumo mocked him.

Jiaji's expression immediately darkened. "What do you mean, Onigumo? I am so strong. How could a newcomer kick my brain loose?"

But the truth was that Mu Chen had knocked him unconscious with a kick.

After hearing Onigumo's words, Jia Ji looked even more incredulous.

I, Jia Ji, was knocked unconscious by a newcomer? What kind of joke was that?!

Even now, Jia Ji could not believe that a newcomer had knocked him unconscious with a kick. It was simply too absurd. And Mu Chen was only a newcomer, which made it even more humiliating.

We are not joking. That is the truth.

What happened to you at the end? You suddenly stood there without moving, and you looked like your brain had turned stupid. Wu Shu went straight to the point. Everyone was curious about what had happened to Jia Ji at the time.

Although Jia Ji found it hard to believe, Wu Shu had always been honest. He was strong but never acted aggressively or competitively. Everyone had a good impression of Wu Shu, so Jia Ji did not think Wu Shu was lying to him.

Jia Ji shook his head and tried desperately to remember. "At the time... at the time, I saw Mu Chen's eyes. They felt very captivating."

"And then... then I... I married Gion."

What Jia Ji said made no sense at all. Marrying Gion was something that was impossible even to imagine.
