Bullet, Long Time No See

Episode 289. After all, Borsalino had just drawn Sakazuki's hatred onto himself, and he had no desire to have it pulled back his way.

But clearly, Mu Chen was only fooling himself.

The next second, Sakazuki's burning gaze turned toward him.

Before Sakazuki could speak again, Mu Chen immediately clutched his stomach and hunched over, putting on an agonized expression as he continuously groaned, "The old injury I got fighting Aramaki has flared up! It hurts so much! Ah, it hurts like hell!"

Mu Chen's terrible acting left everyone dumbfounded.

"Mu Chen, you were just about to lose your temper again!"

Sakazuki immediately found himself at a loss for words.

Sakazuki felt as though his punch had landed on cotton.

Just then, Garp finally couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

He found this whole scene incredibly satisfying and hilarious. He had been holding it in all along, but now he truly couldn't restrain himself anymore. "Hahaha!" Zefa was infected by Garp's laughter and immediately started laughing as well. The tense atmosphere in the office was shattered by Garp and Zefa's laughter, leaving things somewhat awkward instead. Sengoku felt like his head was about to split in two when he saw this. Not a single one of them was worry-free.

Sengoku was helpless. He had actually wanted to interrupt Sakazuki and the others from the start, but he had wanted to see how Mu Chen would handle relationships with his colleagues. The way Mu Chen handled it was something Sengoku had never seen before, and it had actually eased the tense atmosphere considerably.

In that regard, Sengoku felt Mu Chen was a real talent, and he was also extremely tactful. Of Mu Chen, Borsalino, and Sakazuki, Mu Chen was now the one Sengoku worried about the least.
