I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 123 122. My body is like a sword!

"Ahem, I lost this one."

A few seconds later, Koshiro came over with a wry smile.

Moses looked at him and found that his clothes were a little wrinkled and his breath was a little disordered, nothing else.

She curled her lips and rolled her eyes at him, "Let's just call it a draw. You just like to hide your weaknesses."

Koshiro smiled bitterly. This time he really didn't hide his weakness. If he continued to fight, he would get hurt. His physical fitness was very average.

It's not some physical monster or some special race.

Seeing his bitter smile, Messier didn't say anything about fighting again. Anyway, he felt quite satisfied after he swung the sword.

He glanced at Hanlu's sword, which was still smooth and moist, but was still "playfully" absorbing his domineering aura.

The sword has ripples on it.

Moses had an idea and clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, then he calmed down. Swords also have tempers.

But here with Meser, he would not be too naughty. No matter how fierce he was, he had to behave well here with Meser.

Drops of water dripped from the sword onto the ground.

Moses sheathed his sword.

Glancing at Koshiro, Mercer said:
"Are you going back?"

Koshiro was puzzled: "Aren't you going back?"

"I'm going to exercise, you go back first."

Koshiro smiled and said, "Since I have nothing to do, and the instructors are in charge of the dojo, I'll train with you after a long absence."

Mercer looked at him strangely, and used his Observation Haki to sense the surrounding air, but there was no human presence here at the moment.

"as you like."

Finding a pile of rocks on the shore, Mercer watched Koshiro curiously following him and said speechlessly, "Why are you looking at me? Why don't you take off your clothes?"

To Koshiro's surprise, Messer took off his coat, shirt, pants and shoes, exposing his well-proportioned figure to the cold wind and snow.

Put the Cold Dew on the clothes as well.

I've already warmed up with Koshiro, so there's no need to warm up again.

Stepping on the snow, he took two steps forward and jumped up. With snowflakes and parabolas, Messi plunged into the vast sea, splashing a handful of small water.

Koshiro's face turned stiff as he watched this scene. He couldn't possibly go swimming in the sea in this kind of weather. He was just an ordinary person and couldn't do such a dangerous thing.

I couldn't help but sit on the rocks on the shore, feeling the cold wind and watching the waves rising and falling in the vast ocean.

At this moment, he glanced at the Cold Dew Sword on Moser's clothes, and thought appeared in his eyes. According to his father, Moser was also a swordsmith who could forge a big and sharp sword.

I couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

The next second, his domineering aura began to be absorbed by the sword at a very fast speed. He quickly let go of his hand, a faint smile on his face:
“It’s time to see the sunrise and sunset.”

The water was not freezing cold. Mercer nimbly moved his arms and legs in the water, feeling the contact of the sea water with his body. He looked at the shore and seabed that appeared beneath him and swam towards the deeper waters in the distance.

A big breath of air before entering the sea can allow you to survive for a long time underwater.

Even in winter, there are still many creatures in the sea, and various kinds of fish and sea beasts appear in sight.

As he continued to go deeper into the seabed, the water pressure around him became stronger. Messer floated on the seabed a hundred meters deep, but the temperature in the sea was higher than the outside environment.

With energy flowing through his body, he controlled himself to sit cross-legged on the sand and rocks on the seabed, watching the sparse water plants around him dancing with the ocean current, his aura in tune with the frequency fluctuations in the sea water.

He interacted with it using his own body, and the changes in the surrounding sea water were reflected in his mind. The sea water came into contact with him and was pulled and gathered by Moses. The oxygen bubbles that appeared from time to time in the surrounding seaweed were also carried over by the water current.

With the mouth slightly open, the domineering water flow forms a water film in the mouth, sending the collected oxygen into the mouth.

All of a sudden, the oxygen consumed in the body began to be replenished, although it was weak, but it was there. At the same time, Messier also sensed the presence of liquid oxygen in the sea water.

He is not a fish or a fish-man, and he does not have gills, so he cannot filter the oxygen in the seawater. However, he captures the liquid oxygen in the seawater through the water flow converted by the external domineering energy, and then recirculates it into the body.

Mercer sat cross-legged on the sand and rocks on the seabed, slowly performing this step. Through the subtle control of his own domineering power, the liquid oxygen in the water flowed through the water membrane and was sent into the body through the mouth. It quickly vaporized normally at the normal temperature in the body, and was finally transported to every corner of the body with the help of the qi.

Messier's brows relaxed slightly, and after getting enough oxygen, he began to catch the fish more vigorously.

Just like a greedy snake.

In sea water.

Constantly plundering the necessary substances for its own survival.

Messier began to stand up on the seabed and started walking around, stirring the sea water to make it move. More new sea water came into contact with him, and Messier also captured more liquid oxygen.

Time is passing.

This "gluttonous" behavior is becoming more and more skillful. Messiah continues to swim in the sea, swimming quickly towards farther and deeper waters.

shore,

Seeing that Mercer had not come up for half an hour, Koshiro couldn't help but look hesitant. After another half an hour, Koshiro could no longer sit still.

He quickly took off his clothes, unsheathed the Wado Ichimonji sword, grasped the hilt, took two steps forward, and quickly leaped into the sea.

As soon as you enter the water,

Seeing, hearing, and color are perceived.

Moses's presence was soon discovered, but another extraordinary presence was also discovered next to Moses.

He waved his arms and legs hurriedly and swam over quickly.

……

It was thirty meters in diameter, covered with dark brown scales, and had a minotaur that was five meters wide and was chasing closely behind it.

With his mouth full of sharp teeth wide open and his eyes red, he bit rapidly and snapped his teeth behind him.

Moses was as agile as a mermaid. He kept teasing it and occasionally turned around to kick it on the head.

Strength rating: D+
After luring it step by step, he lured it from the deep sea to the shallow sea in a short while. At this time, Mercer saw Koshiro swimming towards him with a knife in his hand, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

Didn’t he not come down to exercise?
Without thinking too much, he turned around to avoid the bite of the big mouth and punched back! A ripple spread out, and the bull-headed sea beast was hit so hard that the white of its eyes turned upside down and its belly turned upside down.

Mercer swam up, grabbed the bull's horns, stepped on the sea water, pulled the sea beast past Koshiro, and smiled at him.

But why does he look so confused?

Forget it.

Soon, with the inertia of the water flow, he grabbed the horns, turned around and threw the sea beast from behind, and it was thrown out of the sea.

Moses rushed out of the sea and chased after him with bang-bang steps.

He approached the sea beast that was flipping in the air and kicked it on the head. With a crackling sound, the force penetrated its brain and killed it.

At the same time, the sea monster flew towards the shore.

With a loud bang, it hit the beach on the shore heavily.

A soul crystal appeared shortly afterwards.

[Obtain D+ level soul crystal*1]

Moses followed closely behind and landed next to his clothes. Dark red flames rose from his body, evaporating the seawater and quickly putting on his clothes.

At this time, looking at Koshiro who emerged from the sea trembling, Mercer smiled and said:

"Winter swimming is great, right? It's good for both exercise and hunting sea beasts."

Koshiro's mouth twitched, he looked at his wet body, then looked at the already dry Messer, and pursed his lips with some envy:

"You didn't show up for so long, I thought you drowned."

He said, with a look of inquiry on his face,

"By the way, Brother Mercer, are you also a merman? Like Mr. Kawamatsu, but you look like a human. Or maybe you have merman blood in your ancestors?"

Moses rolled his eyes at him, a dark red flame ignited in his hand, and placed it on his arm. The flame quickly spread throughout his body, baking the sea water on his body at will.

"I am just an ordinary human, not a special race like the merfolk."

Koshiro looked at the dried body and nodded to Messiah, who then retracted the flames.

Koshiro said curiously again:
"Brother, are you also a person with special abilities?"

But then he denied it to himself. It was common sense that people with special abilities couldn't swim. He then looked at Messi with a wry smile:

"You are truly peculiar. This kind of flame should also have lethality, right?"

Moses smiled but said nothing, imitating him as a riddler.

Koshiro laughed bitterly, quickly put on his clothes, and looked at the bull-headed sea monster in amazement:

"There aren't any ferocious sea beasts like that near our island, right? Where did you go to seduce them?"

"Maybe it escaped from near the doldrums. Besides, it's not unacceptable for a sea monster to escape occasionally, right?"

"That's right, wow, this sea beast meat is absolutely delicious. I haven't tasted it in a long time."

Seeing his smiling face, Mercer laughed:

"Then we can go back and braise, steam, deep-fry, stew, or roast them. They're this big, so we should be able to finish them in one meal. Your dojo is so big, so consider it a treat for them today."

The corners of his mouth couldn't stop curling up, and Koshiro said with a smile: "How can I be so embarrassed?"

"Then just watch us eat."

Moses was speechless.

Koshiro laughed helplessly, "Just pretend I didn't say that."

Mercer grumbled speechlessly: "Are you also a user of the Reclaim Fruit ability?"

Koshiro was confused and waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm not a devil fruit user, I'm just an ordinary person."

Messer laughed out loud.

He stepped forward, grabbed the sea monster's head and lifted it up, and Koshiro consciously went to the back and lifted up its tail.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, carried the sea beast over a hill and returned to the dojo, where they were met with a wave of shock.

After bringing the sea beast to an open area and placing it down, Messer glanced at him and said, "Do you have a large vat? Don't waste its blood. Make it into blood tofu later."

Koshiro nodded and called a few instructors to get something. Xiong Bao and the others saw the sea monster and ran over one by one. Xiong Bao looked at Mercer and said with a chuckle:
“How do we eat it?”

"Come up with more tricks, and let yourself be inspired."

Koshiro on the side was not surprised. Mercer's panda could cook and cook very well. He was not surprised at all. It was because he had seen it many times and had eaten it once.

After a while, Moses took the cold dew and cut off one of the claws on the upper body of the sea beast, letting the blood out, and then dismembered it and took the meat.

A set of procedures flow smoothly.

This shows that he has a solid foundation in anatomy.

A fire pit was lit in the open space, and Xiong Bao started working enthusiastically, with Perona, Robin and Yamato helping out.

Large cauldrons were taken out of the castle.

Some useless internal organs and broken bones were eaten by the crows that came out of the castle.

Feeding this large family is indeed a problem now:
"Looks like I have to train them well and find something for them to do."

Without thinking too much, as time passed, in the afternoon, the sea beast meat that everyone had been looking forward to was cooked.

Not only meat, but also a variety of vegetarian dishes, pancakes, meat porridge, and roasted sweet potatoes.
Moses and his group brought together all the students and instructors in the dojo and started a sea beast banquet.

Kuleha appeared outside after a long absence, holding a bottle of wine in her left hand and a large skewer of barbecue in her right hand, enjoying it happily.

Messer sat beside her and helped her get her favorite food. Eri beside her had her mouth puffed up and stuffed full.

The little hands and face are covered with grease after eating.

Messer ate various delicacies with big mouthfuls, and wiped the grease off Eiry's face with a tissue, which earned him a silly smile. At this time, seeing Kuleha looking at him, Messer smiled and wiped her mouth with the folded paper in his hand.

Kuleha rolled her eyes at Messer speechlessly, "Did I ask you to wipe your mouth?"

"Can't you see my glass is empty?"

Mercer curled his lips and said speechlessly:
"Your drinking tolerance isn't very good right now. Do you want me to carry you back later?"

While saying this, he also refilled her glass with wine. The alcohol content of the wine in Koshiro's house was not high, so he let her drink it.

"That's pretty much it."

Just as Kuleha took a sip of wine, a green-haired man came up and looked at her awkwardly, his face slightly red.

"Dr. Kuleha, I want to offer you a toast to thank you for saving my mother."

This was the third time Zoro had seen Kuleha in the past three months. He glanced at him, and Kuleha raised the corner of her mouth and laughed strangely:

"You haven't even grown all your hair yet, go drink some milk, go get some milk and then come back and toast me."

Zoro's face flushed.

But at this moment, her mother came over with a glass of juice, replaced the glass in Zoro's hand, and looked at Kuleha with a smile:
"Thank you for your help."

As he said this, he drank the wine in the glass in a very generous gulp.

Zoro followed suit and drank the juice in the glass, imitating his mother's actions.

Kuleha took a sip of wine and smiled faintly:

"Now that the toast has been made, the matter is over. Now, go enjoy the banquet."

Tera saw that Kuleha didn't want to say more about this matter, so he smiled, grabbed the green algae head, and took him away.

The meal was very late.

Moses ate it from the beginning to the end.

However, after eating, Kuleha took Eri, who was also full, away, leaving only a sentence "Go back for a physical examination" and left without looking back.

The students who had enjoyed the banquet stayed behind to clean up.

Moses and his companions returned to the villa together.

……

Sitting at the low table, Messer was drinking tea from a cup. Ushiwakamaru was sitting opposite Messer, looking reluctant.

"Are you guys leaving?"

Mercer smiled and said, "Well, we'll leave early tomorrow morning. From now on, you have to practice hard. If you can't meet my standards in the future, I won't want you."

The corner of Ushiwakamaru’s mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes at Messer: “Then you might as well take me with you.

I feel like I can become stronger faster with you than staying here."

He knew that Messier had the ability to help people quickly learn breathing techniques and become stronger. He had experienced this firsthand during his time with Messier.

"You are a swordsman."

This sentence made Ushiwakamaru's mouth twitch and he couldn't say a word. He also knew that he was not good enough in swordsmanship, while Meser's swordsmanship was entirely based on talent.

He can't learn this.

Of course, it was also because Messiah had promised Kozaburo.

A man's promise is worth a thousand gold.

He also didn't want Moses to break his promise.

So that's the end of this topic.

Messer smiled and asked him to stay here, not only to allow him to calm down, but also because he did not have enough time to teach him.

Although Koshiro cannot be considered a top-level expert, he is still good at teaching students. With him and Kawamatsu here, Ushiwakamaru can also grow better.

Ushiwakamaru, who has already learned the breathing method, only needs time.

At this time, Messer handed a knife on the table to Ushiwakamaru. The knife was two meters long and as wide as a palm. The back of the knife was very thick, the blade was diamond-shaped, the blade was straight, and there was no sheath.

There are two characters engraved on both sides of the knife: "Luan" and "Feng".

This is an inscribed weapon, a large sharp sword. The built-in phenomenal patterns come from the Repelling Shell. It is a weapon that can store domineering power and can deliver destructive impacts. The side effects are huge. Even if one is of C- strength, the body will be in danger of collapse if more than five shots are used.

However, it is indeed a perfect match with Ushiwakamaru's fruit ability.

After giving him a brief explanation, Ushiwakamaru blinked and his brows suddenly lit up with joy.

"Don't forget to develop your fruit abilities. After the fruit awakens, your multiplying properties might be applied to weapons. Just thinking about swinging a machete that's over ten meters long is exciting."

Ushiwakamaru tilted his head and imagined himself, who was ten meters tall, carrying a sword that was more than ten meters long. With one slash, he could destroy everything in front of him. The picture was so beautiful that he couldn't stop smiling.

He held the knife in his arms and treated it like a precious treasure.

"I understand. I will definitely injure myself. I've also discovered that the Dairudo Fruit requires self-injury to develop its power."

The corner of Messi's eye twitched. He hoped that next time they met, this kid wouldn't become a masochist who became more excited the more hurt he was.

"Um, Mercer, can you spar with me once?"

After the two of them finished talking, Kuina, who also came over, looked at Meser with a tense face. In the past three months, when she was practicing with Meser and the others, she had never challenged Meser once.

"You're leaving tomorrow, so we don't know when we'll meet again. I want to spar with you one more time before you leave."

Kuina looked at Messer expectantly. Messer smiled and shook his head. Kuina's eyes darkened and she felt a little lost. She lowered her head and twisted her hands together on her legs.

Seeing this, Moses shook his head and said, "You are very brave. I will defeat you in an instant. Do you still want to do this?"

Kuina raised her head suddenly, a look of determination appeared in her eyes, and she nodded heavily:
"Please don't hold back."

Messer looked at her calmly.

"as you wish."

The next moment, he stood up and walked into the yard.

Kuina hurriedly followed out.

Stand three meters opposite Moses.

Holding a bamboo sword in his hand.

Moses looked at her, and she looked at him with a puzzled look and said, "Where is your sword?"

Moses smiled, put his right index and middle fingers together to form a sword finger, and held it upright in front of his chest.

"The sword is in my heart, and my body is like a sword."

He did not lie to her. As her breathing rose and fell, the frequency fluctuations of Hanlu were in sync with her own. Moser's aura was released, revealing his sharp edge.

Dark blue water lingered between the fingertips, and strands of black and red electric arcs belonging to the overlord color shuttled through the water.

As Messiah looked at her indifferently, his aura oppressed her mind.

At this moment, Kuina felt that the person of the same age in front of her had changed. She felt that she would never be able to resist and she didn't even dare to muster the courage to swing her knife.

My body was stiff, my mind was blank, and my legs felt like they were filled with lead.

Kuina tried hard to open her eyes, and after several seconds, she came to her senses and looked at Messiah with difficulty and stubbornness.

The next moment, Messer moved, and appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye, with his sword finger pointing at her brow, and a shock of consciousness acted on her mind.

Darkness is coming.

Kuina collapsed to the ground with her eyes rolled back.

Moses waved away the power in his hands.

He bent down, picked up her arm, put it on his shoulder, brought it back to the room and placed it on the floor.

Looking at Hiyori and Kawamatsu in the house, Mercer smiled and said, "Since you have decided to stay here to learn swordsmanship, then work hard in the future."

Hiyori looked at Messer with some reluctance and nodded heavily:

"Then take care of yourself from now on. I will study swordsmanship hard and become stronger."

He Song also nodded to Messier.

"Master Mercer, we'll see you later."

Moses smiled and nodded.

"The sea is vast, and one day we will meet again."
