I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 11. Visiting relatives!

"Haki, the inherent potential power of all living things in this world, is equivalent to [Momentum] and [Deterrence], and exists like instinct."

In Messier's view, [dominance], to put it bluntly, is just a certain way of expressing the "essence, energy, and spirit" in the human body.

Through long-term breathing exercises and learning of medical skills, Moser's understanding of his own body far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Observation Haki is a unique perceptual power, a kind of "divine" perceptual ability.

Moses was born with the ability to perceive the colors of things.

Different from other people who are born with the ability to awaken their observation Haki, they have special abilities such as "reading minds", "emotional resonance", "image prediction", "listening to the voices of all things", etc.

Moser's observation Haki only has the most basic perception effects.

However, under the unique breathing method for many years, Moser's observation Haki and breathing are constantly coordinated and intertwined, and are gradually changing.

Feel your own breathing, and then follow your breathing to perceive your body in all directions.

When the gift of [Breathing] was manifested and reached A-level in one step, with the energy flowing through his whole body, Mercer's observation Haki suddenly possessed a unique "inner vision" effect.

Being able to sense things through his skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs, Mercer often felt a sense of nausea that was difficult to adapt to at the beginning.

But in the past year, since I cannot change it, I can only adapt. Anyway, I will not give up using the Jianbunhaki just because of some "minor" discomfort.

Observation Haki is originally used for outward perception. Naturally, this kind of "inner vision" that can be projected outward has become a kind of "perspective".

However, at present, Messer's observation level is not high enough, so the external perspective effect is not as clear as the internal perspective.

and,

Now that the gift of [Breathing] has been upgraded, it has the effect of unity between man and nature. Moser has a premonition that if nothing unexpected happens, his observation Haki should still have special characteristics in the future.

After long-term use, Moser's observation Haki has made considerable progress.

And now.

[C+ rank gift: Observation Haki] (can grow freely)
[Blessing Effect: Innate perception ability, the power of "perception", a strong sense of the surrounding atmosphere, the special effect of "sight", and permanent moderately accelerated growth of Perception/Agility/Mystic Attributes of C+ level and below.]

[Gift Evaluation: Among the three treasures of "essence, energy and spirit", this one belongs to the power of "spiritual" perception. Perception is the prerequisite for everything!]

The Observation Haki has changed from the original C-level to the current C+ level. There has not been a major breakthrough in level, and Messer does not think there is any problem.

because,

All of these are closely interdependent and influential. Observation Haki can accelerate the growth of perception/agility/mystery attributes. Conversely, these attributes also affect the growth of Observation Haki to a certain extent.

But now, Mercer's attributes have not changed much, there are only some insignificant changes.

Attributes:
[Physique]: Strength: F+→E- Endurance: F+→E- Agility: F+→E-
[Soul]: Will: F+→E- Perception: E-→E Spirit: F+→E-
[Special. Mysterious (Energy)]: F+ → E- (Gaining bonus to Observation Haki.)
In more than a year, the basic physical attributes were upgraded from F+ to E-, which was neither fast nor slow. Messi, who was in the stage of growing up, did not undergo any arduous training.

Every day I just follow the routine of long-distance running training, breathing perception training, or hunt various wild animals in the wild from time to time.

But even so, in Messier's opinion, his current physical fitness is better than that of Ace who was nine or ten years old in the original timeline.

Because of the E-level, the physical strength of those ordinary and common "powerful" pirates in the four major seas of the East, South, West and North is at most at this level.

He cleared his mind of all the chaotic thoughts, closed the light panel, and quietly looked at the magnificent natural beauty.

In Moses's perception, everything around him has changed, and the spiritual perception of the unity of man and nature has also given this natural beauty a unique "spirituality".

"No, rather, it's only today, now, that I truly see the natural world. Everything has come alive."

【breathe】

The breath of earth and stone.

The breath of the pine trees.

Breathing of water vapor.

Breath of ice and snow.

Everything has its own unique breath and special life frequency.

Messer curled his lips:
"What about the breath of all things, what about the power of slashing and not slashing? In the end, it's just some understanding of the unity of heaven and man."

“In fact, many complex and high-sounding things, once you have a correct understanding, are just that simple.”

After figuring it out and getting what he wanted, Messier no longer planned to stay here.

As for understanding nature?

joke.

"You can't become fat in one breath. You have to eat slowly and walk steadily. Taking one step at a time is the safest way."

All lofty perceptions and powers are often based on the most basic attribute, that is, the "body".

He reached out and pinched Xiong Bao's ears, then lifted him up by the scruff of the neck and turned him around. He looked up at him in confusion.

"Let's go home."

Xiong Bao shook himself and ran happily towards the cave, with Messiah following behind.

Put the slate back in its original seal.

The broad summit became silent again, with only rows of footprints confirming that some other creature had just visited.

The way down the mountain is more difficult than going up. Accompanied by the cold wind on the cliff, we walked halfway up the mountain, through the damp and cold clouds, and arrived at the foot of the mountain step by step.

Xiong Bao shook his fur vigorously to shake off the condensed water vapor on his body. Messier had already moved to a suitable distance and was not wet.

As if feeling the wetness of its fur, Xiong Bao opened the lower half of its mouth unusually wide, and then bit its own head, like chewing bamboo. After a few bites, the autophagy was completed, leaving only a ball of white fur in its place. After a few seconds, the fur ball unfolded, and Xiong Bao's body became dry.

Mercer was not surprised, after all, he was the one who taught him. When Xiong Bao stood firm, Mercer rode on his back, and Xiong Bao, swaying from side to side, walked towards home with his feet turned inward.

……

When I got home, I cleaned and dismembered a roe deer that I had caught on the way back.

Heat oil in a pan, add onion, ginger, garlic, and various suitable herbs, stir-fry for a few minutes, then add salt, MSG and other flavorings.

Add potato cubes and water, simmer over high heat. After the water boils, simmer over low heat.

After Messiah finished speaking, Xiong Bao stood up with a spatula in his hand and completed the steps one by one. The two worked together seamlessly.

Leaving Xiong Bao to look after the kitchen, Messer went to the desk to continue reading. This bookshelf had been almost finished by Messer, with only the last ten or so books left. After finishing them, he could declare himself "graduated".

Kuleha was doing her own experiments on the second floor. After teaching Xiong Bao, no, Messer how to cook, except for breakfast, lunch and dinner were all prepared by Messer.

Therefore, a gift representing [cooking skills] was soon formed.

And today, Xiong Bao also showed signs of making a breakthrough.

congratulations!

Therefore, from then on, except for meal times, Kuleha was seen at home every day. The rest of the time she was buried in the second floor doing her own experiments.

Nowadays, except for meal times or free time to observe Messi and learn knowledge, Messi and Kuleha basically play by themselves.

Once, Garp came and was surprised to see the way the two of them got along. He said, "If Ace was half as troublesome as you, I would be so happy."

Two weeks later. Mid-September.

I had just finished a long run this morning when I got home to see a burly figure sitting in the living room.

Drinking tea slowly and methodically.

As soon as he saw Messi, Cap grinned and said, "Hey, Messi. Your grandpa is here. Are you happy?"

Messer sighed. He always felt something was wrong with what Garp said. Somehow, it felt like he was insulting him.

"Will you beat me up if you're unhappy?"

A sinister smile appeared on Garp's lips, but his expression was quite kind.

"What do you say?"

As he spoke, he raised his fist, which made a "crackling" sound.

"Happy." Mercer gave Karp a big smile, "How come you have time to come here today, old man?"

Karp's face turned dark. This little brat was too unlovable. He didn't even call him grandpa. He was just about to teach him a lesson.

At this time, Kuleha came out of the kitchen with breakfast and looked at Garp with an unhappy expression.

"If you were to come, you wouldn't wait until breakfast is over. You came now, and I even prepared a meal for you. How could you be so ignorant?"

Taking the bowl of porridge and picking up the steamed buns to eat with the side dishes, Cap's face looked a little subtle. He was almost sixty years old, but he was called ignorant and treated like a kid.

At this moment, Garp finally realized why he rarely came to Kuleha before even though he and Kuleha had a good relationship.

But now.

He laughed "hehe" and felt happy. As he got older, more and more familiar people passed away. It was a blessing to have a friend like Kuleha.

His observation Haki flashed by, and he felt relieved to sense that Kuleha's vitality was still strong and she could live for at least another twenty or thirty years.

Just as he took a sip of porridge, he heard Kuleha say indifferently, "Do you want to get beaten again?"

Garp waved his hands, "Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Knowing that he had been discovered using his observation Haki, he immediately lowered his attitude and quickly admitted his mistake.

Kuleha glanced at him, then looked at Messer. "This old bastard is here today to take you to the East China Sea to meet your brother. After dinner, you can go with him."

Messer stopped what he was talking about, rolled his eyes, and immediately said aggrievedly: "Doctor Dolly, are you going to drive me away? I don't want Grandpa, I only want you."

The corner of Karp's eye twitched, and he suddenly felt that the food in his mouth no longer tasted good.

Kuleha glanced at Messer. Although she was happy in her heart, she sneered, "What are you pretending to be, little bastard? When did I say I didn't want you anymore? I just wanted to give you some time off. After you finish watching that brat named Ace, come back quickly."

"Oh!" Mercer continued eating, nodding as he said, "Okay! I'll leave Xiong Bao to you. He already knows how to cook, so he'll be just the right guy to take care of your daily life."

"Hey!"

Xiong Bao looked at Messier with reluctance, but his mouth was stuffed with food without any delay.

Karp looked at the panda who was also eating at the table with a look of amazement, looking at the way it was holding the bowl and chopsticks, "This little guy is so smart."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiong Bao pulled his bowl into his arms and looked at Karp warily, as if to say, "This is mine, I won't give it to you."

Karp's face darkened.

He continued to eat and drink feeling depressed.

This family is not a good family.

After dinner, Xiong Bao cleared the table and Messi simply packed up his things.

He mainly took some gold beans, a few changes of clothes, a few silver needles, a scalpel, and his own weapon, an axe.

There was no goodbye or anything, because after eating, Kuleha went upstairs by herself.

Walking in the deep forest with Cap, Mercer was not wearing his usual Laban coat, but just a simple cotton coat.

Because Cap said that the weather would get warmer after we passed the waters of Magnetic Drum Island.

At the window on the second floor of the tree house, Kuleha watched two figures, one big and one small, leave. A trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes, and then she muttered to herself.

"What's wrong with me? I'm not not coming back, so why would I be reluctant to leave? Why am I becoming sentimental? This is not like me."

After watching them disappear, Kuleha turned back to continue her experiments.

After walking for half an hour, we saw a medium-sized warship docked in a spacious river channel on the island, with shadowy figures on the deck.

You can also see seven or eight marines with the word "cook" written on their backs handling more than ten wild beasts on the river bank.

Some have already been processed.

Some are still being processed.

Mercer had excellent eyesight and recognized it as Labang at a glance. Mercer couldn't help but exclaim, "It's quite impressive that they hunted so many Labangs."

Karp reached out and rubbed Messier's head, laughing and saying:
"Of course. The marines on my ship are all skilled and skilled. Why, are you envious? Then why don't you come to my ship and be a marine with grandpa in the future?"

Moses pretended not to hear.

Karp looked depressed.

Come closer.

One by one, the marines, some with respect and some with smiles, greeted Garp, and all of them looked at the little guy following Garp with curiosity.

Mercer followed Cap onto the ship along the steps. The deck of the warship was spacious and very clean and tidy, with an open space at the bow and stern.

now,

There were quite a few marines exercising on the deck, some were brandishing swords, some were doing physical exercises, and of course, there were also a few who were leaning against the fence, smoking, chatting and gossiping.

At this time, with the return of Garp, those who were practicing paid attention and continued to practice, while those who were chatting and gossiping restrained themselves, put out their cigarettes, and greeted Garp.

These people all held official positions. When he saw Moses looking at their epaulettes and cloaks, Cap was stunned for a moment, then he smiled.

"You also think those epaulettes and capes are cool, right? Those guys are all school-level officers from the Marine Headquarters. They are quite powerful and can easily deal with pirates worth tens of millions."

Several officers blushed and looked embarrassed when they were praised by Garp.

Moses remained silent and listened without speaking.

At this moment, footsteps approached, and a slightly curious voice sounded, "Vice Admiral Garp, you're back. Shall we set off now?"

The visitor's eyes flashed with curiosity as he looked at Messer discreetly. Bogart thought to himself, "This little guy must be the baby from a few years ago. I didn't expect him to have grown so big."

Garp nodded and said casually, "Let's go. Let's go straight across the doldrums. It will be faster this way."

Bogart looked worried and asked bluntly, "Would it be inappropriate to cross the doldrums?"

Garp smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."

　New author, new book! Give it a read, everyone!
