chapter 79

While conversing, Shanks kept glancing at Mu Feng. The scarlet armor, accompanied by Tian Wei's old man, had an unruly smile on his face, making him appear no older than twenty. Shanks was surprised by this revelation. He had not expected the vice president of the Hunter Guild to be so young. He had always assumed that Mu Feng was around forty years old.

Shanks couldn't help but feel a bit stunned. In his twenties, he had managed to defeat the legendary "Pluto" Rayleigh.

"Well, it's me," Mu Feng nodded and said, still holding a favorable impression of red hair.

"Although it has only been less than seven days, the BIG·MOM Pirate Group has been driven out of the nations. The mission is complete," Mu Feng inquired.

"Well, forget it," Shanks nodded. He had no intention of haggling over the payment. It was not worth offending someone as powerful as Mu Feng for a few Devil Fruits. Besides, Rayleigh had a relationship with him.

"Do you have any specific requirements for the type of Devil Fruit? If you want five Logia Devil Fruits, I won't be able to get them," Shanks said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, whether it's Paramecia or Zoan, as long as it's a Devil Fruit that's not too useless," Mu Feng shrugged. He didn't intend to consume the Devil Fruits himself anyway. He would exchange them for coupons, and as long as the Devil Fruit wasn't too low in value, it would be fine.

Upon hearing that Mu Feng didn't have any specific requests, Shanks looked at him in surprise.

However, he didn't inquire further and simply replied with a smile, "If there are no special requests, then I can provide you with the Devil Fruits later."

Hearing Shanks' words, Mu Feng looked at him in surprise.

It seemed that Shanks could easily produce five Devil Fruits. Mu Feng contemplated the fact that Golden Lion had 27 Devil Fruits in stock. Although Red Hair might not have the same background as Golden Lion, he could probably manage to produce 20 Devil Fruits if he tried.

Mu Feng secretly regretted asking for such a low price. However, since the mission was already completed, he couldn't increase the price now. He made a silent decision to kill Shanks next time. Little did he know, if Shanks found out that Mu Feng had spared him due to his casual personality, he might regret it.

Putting those thoughts aside, Mu Feng waved his hand and twenty hunter licenses appeared.

He tossed them to Shanks and said, "As per the general rules of the Hunter Guild, Senior Rayleigh must have already informed you that it's quite flexible. Here are 20 hunter licenses, the thirteenth one is yours, and the remaining nineteen cards should be distributed to the members of the Red Hair Pirates. I believe you can find nineteen Devil Fruit users or Haki masters among the Red Hair Pirates. It shouldn't be a problem." Demon Fruit users or Haki masters were the minimum requirement to become a hunter.

"Even if there were twenty more, it wouldn't be a problem," Shanks replied with a smile as he accepted the hunter licenses from Mu Feng.

As one of the Four Emperors, the Red Hair Pirates consisted of some of the strongest individuals. However, Mu Feng didn't want to give Shanks too many licenses. He needed to maintain absolute control over the Hunter Guild and prevent it from becoming divided and embroiled in conflicts.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, a muffled sound echoed from the depths of the sea.

Mu Feng furrowed his brows. He hadn't expected Kaido to break free from the shackles of the Myoshin Gate so quickly.

"How many Devil Fruits would it take to kill Kaido?" Shanks suddenly asked.

Mu Feng looked at Shanks in surprise. Did he want to kill Kaido? He replied, "Five Zoan Devil Fruits."

"Can you actually kill Kaido?" Shanks asked, equally surprised.

He had just asked casually, but Mu Feng's answer astonished him.

Looking at Shanks and his red hair, Mu Feng asked in return, "Can you find five Devil Fruits of Zoan monster species!?" His words carried an obvious meaning.

"Uh..." Shanks looked slightly embarrassed.

Five Zoan Devil Fruits? The only known Zoan Devil Fruits were Marco's Phoenix Fruit, Sengoku's Giant Buddha Fruit, and the Red Hair's Bat Fruit... There were only three, and even if Shanks exhausted all his resources, he wouldn't be able to find five.

As they were talking, Kaido finally broke free.

"Ahhhh!!!

Both eyes stared at Mu Feng, revealing a murderous intent... Two legs kicked on the surface of the sea, causing it to burst. Kaido's power was unleashed to its fullest, not giving Mu Feng a chance to release the Myoshin Gate again. He attacked directly.

His enormous fist hurtled toward Mu Feng's face.

In the face of Kaido's tremendous power, even a hundred-foot-tall mountain would crumble under the impact! Mu Feng had a profound understanding of this from the battle on Palmidore Island against Kaido.

But in this moment, Mu Feng showed no intention of dodging, and his fighting spirit grew stronger.

".｀ Diamond Power·Firm!"

Mu Feng shouted loudly, channeling the power of Xianshu into his right arm.

Facing Kaido's fist, he met it head-on. Kaido's head was nearly ten meters tall, and his arms were incredibly sturdy. When Mu Feng's arm collided with Kaido's arm, it seemed as if Mu Feng was a small car crashing into a man's arm.

The collision of their fists produced a tremendous explosion.

It created a series of airwaves that rippled outwards...

Mu Feng and Kaido both took five steps back simultaneously, their strengths evenly matched! Shanks and Rayleigh, who were watching from the side, were also astonished. They hadn't expected that, in terms of pure strength, only Whitebeard and Big Mom could compete with Kaido. And now, with Mu Feng's extremely powerful Devil Fruit ability added to the mix, there would likely be another monster in the world after today!

Mu Feng's arm felt a bit numb, but with his [LV7] Immortal Body and the added power of Vajra, he remained unyielding! He had initially thought that his power surpassed Kaido's, but it turned out they were evenly matched. The Four Emperors truly deserved their reputation. Mu Feng also dispelled the arrogance that had arisen from defeating Charlotte Linlin. He realized that if the battle had taken place on land instead of at sea, it wouldn't have been so easy to defeat the BIG·MOM Pirate Group.

"Let's call it a truce for now," Mu Feng suddenly said.
