I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 124 123. Ant Nest Hell!

Kuina had a nightmare. In the dream, she met an extremely terrifying demon king. She could not defeat him no matter what. In the blink of an eye, she was ravaged by him.

Huh!

The blinding sunlight streamed onto the bed from the window.

Kuina opened her eyes, looked at her room blankly, and rubbed her dizzy head:

"Is it a dream?"

Ten seconds later, she sat up suddenly, the quilt covering her body slipped off, and she hurriedly got out of bed in her pink pajamas.

Ran out barefoot.

A few minutes later, I arrived at the training ground and saw Ushiwakamaru right away. He was simply too beautiful. I ran up to him and asked him with an unusually subtle look:
"Uncle, where are Messer and the others?"

Ushiwakamaru looked at Kuina and smiled faintly, which was extremely charming. Kuina stared at him anxiously and asked again: "Where are they?"

Ushiwakamaru smiled and sighed, then said softly, "They've been gone for a few hours."

Kuina's face was a little stiff. She wanted to ask what happened yesterday, but when she thought of the instant kill yesterday, her pupils couldn't help but shrink.

terrible.

Ushiwakamaru, observing her expression and movements, said:

"Messer asked me to bring you a message."

Kuina asked blankly:
"what?"

"Next time you want to spar with me, you must first face the me in your heart. If you are afraid of me, then you have no right to draw your sword against me."

That's what he said, and he asked me to tell you the truth."

After saying that, Ushiwakamaru looked at Kuina with a hint of worry in his eyes. He didn't know why Messier did that yesterday. That kind of power was a bit too much for Kuina now.

Kuina looked unhappy, but she couldn't help but recall the scene of yesterday. Every detail was clear in her mind. The finger surrounded by black and red electric arcs and dark blue water suddenly pierced her forehead.

It was so scary that my body couldn't help but tremble.

Ushiwakamaru looked at her, and after seeing this, he said:
"He also left a message, I'll tell you.

"Kuina, if I become an insurmountable mountain in your heart, then if you want to achieve success in the way of the sword, then you must step over me and shatter the fear in your heart. Otherwise, you will never be able to draw your sword in front of me."

That's what he said. "

"What kind of power is he using?" Kuina's expression tightened after hearing this. "How do you control that power?"

Ushiwakamaru's face turned strange. He thought of what Messer had told him yesterday: "If that girl asks, tell her the truth." He was speechless.

"The dark blue water flow is a power that can only be mastered after the advanced use of breathing techniques. The black and red electric arc is an advanced application technique of Conqueror's Haki."

"What is that Conqueror's Haki?"

Ushiwakamaru began to tell her the story. After a moment, Kuina looked unwilling and stared at Ushiwakamaru with gritted teeth:
"Uncle, I will fight you every day from now on. I want to become stronger so that I won't be scared by him. Sooner or later, I will give him a blow.

Who am I looking down upon that I don't have the courage to draw my sword against?"

Looking at his stubborn little niece with twinkling eyes, Ushiwakamaru didn't know whether to laugh or cry:
"Okay, then you have to work hard. Otherwise, I'll defeat you in one blow, and then I won't feel any sense of accomplishment."

Kuina gritted her teeth, her face full of anger, and asked him again: "How did I get back yesterday?"

"It was Hiyori who brought you back."

"Hiyori?"

Kuina turned her head and looked at Hiyori, who was sweating, gritting her teeth, and swinging a bamboo sword with a determined look on her face as she did basic training in a corner of the training ground. There was also the strangely interesting-looking fishman Kawamatsu, who was also swinging a sword beside her.

She nodded and said, "Well, I'll thank her in person when the time comes. I'm going to go back and change my clothes first. See you later."

Having said that, he left barefoot.

Ushiwakamaru smiled, then his eyes became calm as he began to practice swordsmanship, using his own sword, Luanfeng.

……

Castle space. Treasure room.

Next to a treasure chest placed casually in the corner of the wall.

Messer looked at the four devil fruits placed in the treasure chest in front of him. Three of them were just for show and had lost their effects, and the remaining one was the Yamata-no-Orochi fruit.

This fruit is very good.

It is a top-level mythical beast species.

"Who will eat it?"

"Ace or Eri."

"No, forget about Eri. Yamata no Orochi is too ugly and doesn't suit her."

"Forget it, let's see then."

I stood up and glanced at the treasures around me. On one side were piles of ancient gold ornaments, and on the other side were neatly stacked gold bricks. It was quite visually impactful.

Moses closed the door of the treasure room.

Leave here and go to the laboratory.

As soon as I came in, I saw Kuleha doing research.

At this moment she is observing the reaction of a drug.

The laboratory has been expanded.

On one side there are some columnar glass containers with wires connected to the base, and the glass containers are filled with light red culture fluid.

The culture medium contains solidified embryos of various dinosaurs, which are raw materials for research and pharmaceutical production.

"How come you have time to come to my place?" Wearing a white coat, Kuleha continued to do her experiments without raising her head.

"The serum extracted from dinosaur eggs and the medicine made with my bloodline factor, after using it for a while, how long will the effects last?"

Messer asked her, Eri's problem, which is rooted in her own nature, is not so easy to solve.

"In about two years, that girl will either learn your unique ability and complete her own evolution. Yes, evolution.

Or find a thousand-year-old dragon, or other dragon species to create a new medicine.

Or find a unique devil fruit that matches her own and adjust her bloodline factors.

There are only three methods, and except for the problem in the middle, the first and second methods can be cured without any problems. "

After listening to Kuleha's explanation, Messer nodded. It was similar to what he had guessed.

There was thought in his eyes.

Eri's bloodline comes from a dragon called "White King" in that world. High-level bloodlines are naturally able to control spiritual elements, that is, soul power.

So,
As his direct descendant, Eri was born with a powerful soul.

This is also the fundamental reason why even though her bloodline is not stable enough, she can still control the "Spirit of Words" and prevent it from going out of control after awakening.

Pure dragon bloodline and a powerful soul endow Eri with superior "learning" abilities.

If Eri takes the medicine made from the special bloodline factor brought by the "Body of All Things" for a long time, and with the almost daily hands-on teaching, Eri might actually be able to learn the "Body of All Things".

After observing for a period of time, Messer discovered that he and Perona and the others were practicing the fusion of breath frequency fluctuations.

They didn't accept everything like Eri did, but instead became specialized, more like a weakened, specialized type that adapted to them.

For example, after practicing, Yamato felt that she seemed to become more sensitive to the frequency fluctuations of ice.

Perona's sensitivity to spiritual bodies has increased.

As for Robin and Runti, their insights were relatively ordinary.

As for Xiong Bao, there is no need to say more.

My appetite has increased a lot in recent days.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Messer watched as Kuleha used a syringe to inject a drug into a hatched, anesthetized dinosaur cub.

"It's a drug that can promote nerve cell regeneration and repair brain function. There's been a new breakthrough recently, and they're currently trying in vivo experiments."

"Did it work?" Messer asked curiously. Kuleha smiled and said, "We'll see when the time comes. Anyway, we'll take a slice and observe it later."

Messer watched Kuleha doing the experiment with great interest and helped out at the same time.

After a while, the skull was opened, a piece of brain tissue was taken out, sutured, anesthetic was injected and finally placed back into the culture chamber.

Kuleha took off her sterile gloves, rubbed her shoulders, and glanced at Messer.

He took off his shoes and lay on an operating table.

Seeing this, Messier tactfully walked forward and pressed the acupuncture points on her shoulders. Through the arrangement of acupuncture points and muscles in the human body, he used special pressing techniques and the characteristics of domineering defense to stimulate the human body and achieve the effect of quickly eliminating fatigue.

This is the massage technique that Kuleha taught Messer.

Messer learns quickly and keeps innovating, so after each experiment, Kuleha would ask Messer to come over for a massage.

Breathing fluctuates.

In the state of celestial concentration,

The two of them interacted with each other at the same frequency, and the domineering energy circulated through their fingertips along with the same breathing method, relieving her fatigue. This was also the small way that Messer could help her.

No matter where they are, top scientific research talents are treasures and need to be carefully cared for.

During the massage, Messer's mind was full of thoughts. The Phoenix's healing blue flame, the healing light of the healing fruit, or the Yamata no Orochi's immortal regeneration, the frequency fluctuations contained in these were all very suitable for massage.

More suitable for sustained combat.

What else did you not expect?
thinking in mind.

At this time, Kuleha said calmly:

"What are you thinking about? It's time to move somewhere."

Messer recovered and began to press the legs.

A moment later, Kuleha, with a rosy face, and Messer came to the top-floor lounge together. At this time, they saw Yamato, who was wearing a dark blue swimsuit and a swimming ring around his waist, learning to swim in the swimming pool.

Dog paddle.

Mercer approached curiously. Seeing Yamato's tired face, Mercer asked her:

"are you tired?"

Yamato's eyes were empty: "I've been swimming all morning."

"Then have you learned it?"

"We are all landlubbers. No one teaches me."

Mercer laughed out loud.

Indeed, everyone in the room except himself, Kureha, and Eri was a user with special abilities.

He glanced at Runti, Robin, Page One, Chopper, who were sweating profusely in the training room with the door open and wearing weights, and Eri who was sitting cross-legged doing breathing exercises.

Mercer looked helplessly at Kuleha who took out a bottle of sherry from the wine rack and held it in front of him. He reached out to take it, and the ice-blue mist wrapped around it and quickly cooled him down.

After it was almost done, he opened the bottle and handed it over. Kuleha took it with a smile and drank a sip. She smiled with satisfaction, walked to the sofa in the living room, sat down, and picked up the dried fruits on the table to eat.

At this moment, Yamato swam over, stretched out his hand to Messer, and grinned:

"Pull me up, I have no strength left."

You wear Hailou Stone all year round and walk briskly, but you are tired after swimming for a whole morning? You must be kidding.

Messer reached out, held her hand and pulled her out of the swimming pool. Some water splashed on his trouser legs, and Messer sighed silently.

Yamato shook his hair, and cold mist condensed on his body. The water turned into ice crystals, and he jumped on the spot. Ding ding~, they fell from his body.

I went to the changing room on this floor and came out after a while, changed into casual clothes.

Her gradient white hair was simply tied into a low ponytail at the back.
Wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with a panda head on the chest, a pair of denim shorts, and a pair of flip-flops.

A pair of smooth, long legs, straight and strong.

He walked over to Kuleha and sat down next to her, then grabbed some dried fruits on the table and stuffed them into his mouth.

Kuleha, who was standing by, saw the generous Yamato's mouth curl up slightly and handed the wine in her hand to him, "Take a sip."

Yamato looked at the wine curiously. He was a little thirsty after swimming all morning, so he took it and drank it.

"How about it?"

“It tastes okay, a little sweet.”

"Do you want to drink again in the future?"

"sure."

on the sofa,
Watching Kuleha recruiting drinking buddies, Messer got up and went to the kitchen restaurant. It was almost noon, and Xiong Bao and Perona were busy in the kitchen.

Several dishes had already been placed on the table, and Xiong Bao was still in the kitchen shaking the big iron pot with a spatula.

Perona was using a spoon to stir a bowl of fruit salad as a dessert.

Seeing Messer coming in, Perona's eyes rolled, and she picked up a strawberry on a toothpick and handed it to him, saying "Ah~" with a smile:

"Hahaha~ Come and try it."

Messer reached out to take it, but Perona turned her wrist, dodged Messer's hand, and screamed "Ah~" again.

Seeing this, Messer opened his mouth speechlessly. Perona smiled and stuffed the strawberry into his mouth, and Messer took a bite.

Am I being fed?
The strawberries are delicious though.

"Halala, Mercer, is the fruit salad I made delicious?"

Perona looked at Messer with a smile and anticipation:

"How about it?"

"It's a little sweet," Moses answered truthfully. "It would be better with less sugar, but it's okay. It's edible."

Perona pouted, wrinkled her nose at Messer, and clenched her fists as if she was going to hit Messer.

"Hmph~ Then just eat less for a while, they really like it."

At this time, Xiong Bao picked up a piece of bone-in pork ribs with chopsticks. It smelled very fragrant. Messi reached out to take it and took a bite.

The color is bright red and the meat is soft and tender!
The taste is a little sweet, salty and fragrant, and it is very enjoyable to eat.

Even the bones were stewed until they were tender. Moses chewed the bones and swallowed them along with the marrow.

Seeing the way Messer ate, Perona blinked and asked curiously:

"How do bones taste?"

"It's like chewing sugarcane, but it doesn't sting your throat. It's okay, and it also provides calcium."

Perona laughed dryly and waved her hands to indicate that she couldn't learn it.

Moses smiled and said, "How can you know if it won't work if you don't try? Don't you know that eating bones can make you grow taller?"

"Really?"

This was the pain in Perona's heart. She was three years older than Messier, but she was shorter than him. They were both of ordinary races, so why was he different?

"You didn't lie to me?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Mercer said seriously, "Why do you think I grow so fast? It's because I eat big bones."

Xiong Bao, who was cooking on the side, curled his lips. If it really worked, he would have grown bigger long ago.

Why would I need to take giantizing potions?

Perona looked suspicious.

Then he rolled his eyes at Moses.

He stuck out his tongue at Moses, as if to say, "I'm not stupid."

"I don't believe you, you just lie to me. I can't even bite my bones, how can I eat them? Eat them raw? Do you think I'm a bear?"

Messer sighed and spread his hands helplessly, with an expression that said, "There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me."

He sighed helplessly and left the kitchen.

He looked deeply shocked.

Perona looked at Messer walking away with a confused expression, and couldn't help but look at Xiong Bao, with some hesitation in her eyes:
"Did I piss him off?"

Xiong Bao rolled his eyes and continued to do his own thing. He didn't want to talk to a fool.

Perona gritted her teeth and looked at him with a dim gaze. Xiong Bao felt a chill on his back, as if there was a ghost, and shivered inexplicably.

Messier came to the door of the training room, looked at the five people inside and said, "Dinner will be served soon, go and prepare it." Then he sat on the sofa, admiring the slightly tipsy Yamato across from him, and the little Kuleha who was helpless as her shoulders were hugged and her face was rubbed.

It was obviously the scene of Kuleha's car accident.

Instead of finding a drinking buddy, he was used as a pillow.

Didn't have to wait long.

Lunch is ready.

Everyone enjoyed a very sumptuous meal in the restaurant.

After lunch, it was Ms. Robin's turn to teach Eri, Yamato, and Runti, not just about learning to read, but also about personal judgment and ideological education.

This is to enable them to have correct cognitive values no matter what they encounter in the future.

However, I don’t know whether Robin mixed in his own “dark” private matters with Messer, probably not.

one day later,

A sloop with a panda-shaped bow was floating on the clear blue sea.

Yamato was sitting on the mast of the boat and fishing.

sudden,
With a loud splash, a huge figure exploded from the sea like a cannonball, and a fathead fish with a diameter of five meters was thrown up.

Crow Dabao, who was flying in the air, swooped down, ripples appeared on his body surface, and pulled the big fish into his stomach.

Time passed slowly, and big fish would occasionally appear on the sea surface.

Hardcore fishing.

Moses swam happily in the sea.

Replenish food for the home and feed the thousands of crows, big and small, in the castle.

"what happened?"

At this moment, Robin hurriedly sat up from the recliner and looked at Yamato on the fence:

"Why is the ship tilting?"

Yamato tilted his head and looked around, only to find that the ship had been sucked into a strange swirling current.

And was pulled by the ocean current in one direction and began to be pulled rapidly.

"Is that an island? The ship seems to be being pulled towards the island."

Crow Dabao flew down from the sky and landed on the deck railing. He made a "quack" sound, pointed his wings and said, "Don't worry, we've just reached our destination."

Wow!

At this time, Moses emerged from the sea on the side of the ship and asked Ya Dabao:

"Have we arrived at the Ant Nest Hell?"

"Ant Nest Hell? What is that?"

Robin and Yamato asked together, Robin then rubbed his smooth forehead, feeling somewhat helpless:
"Why are you here?"

She wasn't quite sure about the route planned by Messer, she only knew that it would pass by here, and she thought Messer would avoid it.

Moses smiled and said:
“I heard that this is the most famous ocean graveyard in the East China Sea. The strange ocean currents around the island will pull ships, unable to escape, and will eventually be taken there.

It is also said that the island is deserted, meaning there are no animals and fish don't come ashore. If an ordinary person goes there, they are basically dead."

"Eh~" Yamato shuddered, "How scary, let's get out of here quickly."

"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished speaking yet."
