I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 127 126. Are you bullying me?

"Why are you going?"

Running to the window, Yamato called out to Messer.

Falling to the ground from mid-air.

Messi looked up and saw Yamato also jumped out. With a click, he landed lightly beside him.

"You ran away before I even finished speaking?" Yamato said helplessly, looking around curiously: "There are quite a lot of people here."

This is the east end of the village, at the doorstep of the village chief's house. The street not far away is bustling with people coming and going, creating a lively scene.

Moses looked at the wooden door in front of him, walked over and knocked. Suddenly, a childish voice rang out from inside: "Who is it? Who are you looking for?"

As he spoke, the door opened, and a chubby little boy emerged. He looked about six years old and was just over a meter tall. Mercer raised his eyebrows slightly. At this moment, footsteps were heard, and then the door opened.

"you are?"

The person who came was a pretty woman in her thirties. She looked at Messer with a puzzled look on her face. After a few seconds, she asked softly, somewhat unsurely, "Little Messer?"

"It's me. I didn't expect you to recognize me."

Hearing this, Ah Ying covered her mouth with her hands in surprise. "Messer, you've grown so much? You've changed so much in a few years."

"It's okay, but Sister Ying, you haven't changed much."

When Ah Ying heard Messer's name, she was stunned at first, then she smiled happily. This kid was quite sweet-mouthed. She immediately slapped the back of her curious child's head:
"Arthur, stop staring and call me Brother Mercer. If you hadn't had Brother Mercer when you were a baby, you wouldn't have survived."

Arthur was startled, looking at Mercer curiously, and called out in a sweet voice, "Hello, Brother Mercer, my name is Up Arthur. I know you. My mother always mentions your name."

Mercer smiled and patted little Arthur on the head, then looked at Aying and asked:

"Is Uncle Slab here?"

"Do you have something to do with your father?" Ah Ying was a little confused. "He's out fishing. Come in and sit down first. I'll ask Arthur to go find him."

He rubbed Arthur's head and signaled him to go find someone. After seeing Arthur run out, he looked at Yamato who was obviously with Messer, his eyes flashing with surprise, and asked with a smile:
"Is this little girl your friend? She's so pretty."

Yamato's lips curled up when he heard the compliment, and he greeted Ying happily: "Messer called you Sister Ying, so I'll call you Sister Ying too. My name is Yamato."

Ah Ying laughed and nodded, then took Messi into the house and poured a cup of tea for them.

Sitting on the sofa in Ying's house with Yamato, Messer asked curiously:

"Where's that kid Luffy? He should still be living with you, right? Why don't I see him?"

Ah Ying showed a trace of distress on her face and said helplessly:

"I don't know where Luffy went this morning, but I heard that he and two little rascals around nine or ten years old have been seen running up the mountain recently.

I also heard that the two of them often teamed up to rob people at the Uncertainty Terminal outside the Kingdom's side gate."

At this point, Ah Ying rubbed her forehead, looking like she had a headache:

"What are their names? Oh, by the way, they seem to have been pretty close to Makino in the last year or two, calling me 'Sister Makino' quite sweetly. The two little rascals are called Ace and Sabo. I heard they're the sons of bandits from Mount Korpo. I don't know what Makino thinks, but he often goes there to look for them. I heard he'd bring back a few silly roe deer when he came down the mountain.

Mr. Karp is the same. I have told him more than once, but he just laughed it off and told me not to worry about it and to let him have fun by himself.

When Messer heard this, his expression turned silent, the corners of his eyes twitched a little, and he looked at Aying with an awkward face.

"Isn't that kid named Ace the one with freckles and black curly hair? Is the one named Sabo the one with blond hair? They both look pretty cute."

Aying looked at Messi blankly, "You know that too? Did Uncle Garp tell you? Then Messi, why don't you go and catch Luffy back?"

Moses looked at her and said helplessly:

"That kid named Ace's full name is Portgas D. Ace, and my full name is Portgas D. Messer. So is there a possibility that Ace is my biological brother?"

Pfft!

Yamato, who was standing by, covered his mouth and laughed with his shoulders shrugged. Seeing Messer looking at him with an embarrassed expression, he slapped the armrest of the sofa vigorously.

"Hahahahahaha, Messer, are you trying to make me laugh to death? You're so funny! And Sister Ying, don't you know Brother Messer?"

The corners of Aying's mouth twitched violently, sometimes red, sometimes green, and sometimes purple, just like a dyeing workshop.

He spoke ill of the younger brother of someone in front of him, who was his benefactor. He was scratching his ten toes in his slippers, and at this moment, he had an awkward smile on his face:
"Haha, haha, sorry, Mercer, I didn't know. Your grandfather never told me about this."

Messier held his forehead and sighed helplessly. Garp's confidentiality work was really peculiar. Sometimes he was a big mouth, and sometimes he was particularly strict.

"Is Ace your brother? Then why aren't you two together? Why are you over at the Grand Line?"

Moses shook his head. "That's a long story, so I'd better not tell you."

Yamato then put his arm around Messer's shoulders, poked Messer's face with his other hand, and asked curiously:
"I want to know too, can you tell me?"

Mercer reached out and grasped her fingers, pressing the pads of their fingers. He glanced at her and said, "Let me play with the pink pads on your paws, and I'll consider telling you."

Yamato blinked, and amid Ying's exclamation, his body shape changed, entering the half-beast form, and under the fingers that Messer was holding was a pink flesh pad.

With a smile on his lips, he played with the smooth and warm pink pad on Yamato's hand. Looking at Ying's frightened expression, Yamato smiled and explained to her what a devil fruit is.

This made her sigh in relief.

After waiting for a few minutes, although the feeling in his hand was quite comfortable, Yamato saw that Messier still did not speak, so he asked in confusion: "Messer?"

"What?" Messer glanced at her. "Something?"

Yamato bared his teeth, his ice-blue eyes unfriendly, "What do you think?"

Moses laughed and explained to her:
"Then I'll make it short. It's this way and that way. That's it. Do you understand?"

Yamato looked at Messer with a bewildered expression:

"So and so. Like this and like this?"

"Well, Yamato is really smart. I'll give you a pat on the head as a reward."

As he said that, he reached out and stroked Yamato's head. Yamato squinted his eyes comfortably, but the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened and looked at Messier. This was not what he wanted, right?
Seeing that Moses was unmoved, he gritted his teeth and returned to his original state with an unhappy look on his face. When Moses saw this, a look of pity flashed in his eyes.

When Xiong Bao grew up, his black pads were not as comfortable to touch as when he was a child, but fortunately there was Yamato.

Yamato saw the pity in Messer's eyes, and his expression became a little subtle. "Does that bastard's meat pad feel so comfortable to touch? Why don't I feel anything?"

At this moment, there was a movement in the yard. When Moser saw Slab coming in, he stood up and walked out, saying with a smile:
"Uncle Slab, is it an empty pole?"

The corner of Slab's eye twitched. He didn't know whether it was because he was called a generation younger than his own, or because he was hit on his sore spot.

Glancing at Messer, Slab smiled and said, "Are you here to see your brother Ace?"

Ah Ying's eyes widened, somewhat surprised that her father knew about it, but she wondered why he didn't tell her.

"Well, I'm planning to live here soon. I'd like to ask if there are any large empty houses for sale or rent in the village, or if I can buy a piece of land and find someone to build a villa."

"Well, there aren't many vacancies in the village. But you can stay at my house. It's quite spacious."

Mercer smiled, appreciating Slab's kindness, but still declined.
"I have a lot of people coming this time, so it's not convenient to stay at your house."

"How long do you want to stay? If it's long, why not just build a house? There's enough bricks and stones in the village. I can help you hire strong laborers. You just need to pay the wages."

"Okay, what's the address?"

Slab thought for a moment and said, "There are quite a few places. Why don't you and I go around and start construction wherever we like."

"also."

Messier thought about it and decided it was a good idea. Although he wasn't sure how long he would stay there, it would be nice to have his own house.

Messer and Yamato followed Slab and his grandson out to look at the land.

After one hour.

Looking at the 300-square-meter open space in front of him, close to the coast, Messer nodded with satisfaction.

"Choose this place?"

Slab was a little surprised. The port was only two hundred meters away from here, but there were several buildings blocking the open space in front, making it seem a bit remote.

Looking at the familiar environment around him, Messer smiled, stretched out his hand and waved, and the crow flying in the sky landed.

Ya Dabao landed on Yamato's shoulder beside him: "Mei, what's the matter?"

"Take the money." "How much?"

Mercer looked at Slab and asked, "I'm going to buy this piece of land and build a small villa. I want to finish it within two months. How much will it cost?"

Slab stared at Messier, and after a few seconds, he couldn't help but ask:

"Messer, do you know that rushing the work like this is going to cost you a lot of money? If you add up the cost of the land, materials, and workers, it's going to be at least 100 million berries."

"Yeah, I can accept that."

Moses looked at Ya Dabao:
"Go to the treasure room and take out 100 million Baileys first."

Mercer looked at Slab and smiled:
"Uncle, I'll leave the construction of my house to you. If you need money, just come to me."

After waiting for a few minutes, Ya Dabao took out a suitcase. After Messer opened it, he asked Slab to count it.

It was the first time for Slab to see so many Baileys, and he was also very surprised. He quickly finished counting everything.

Slab said subtly:
"Then I'll go to the capital to find a professional construction team. Leave everything to me from now on."

At this time, Mercer looked at Yamato and said, "You go with Uncle Slab and act as a bodyguard. If there is anything that doesn't have eyes, you will take care of it."

Yamato blinked, feeling very curious, nodded in agreement, and asked, "Then where should I find you when I come back?"

"Use your Observation Haki to sense it." Mercer said speechlessly, "Forget it, I'll call a crow to follow you."

"Dabao, find Xiaowu from home. He's smart."

Mercer looked at Ya Dabao and said that Xiaowu, who was hatched from the first nest of eggs in Ya Dabao's family, was the smarter one among them.

He was the one who found the Thunder Fruit.

Soon, amidst the ripples, a sturdy white-necked crow with a two-meter wingspan flew out, landed on Mercer's shoulder, and asked curiously:
"Boss, are you looking for Crow?"

To explain briefly, Crow Five nodded his head, laughed strangely, tilted his head, looked at Yamato, smiled and nodded:

"Big Sister Yamato, I'll go with you after that."

Yamato couldn't help nodding her head. She was quite familiar with this crow. After all, there were not many crows that could have their own private room at home, and this guy was one of them.

Soon, watching Yamato and Yawu follow Slab away, Messer arrived at the back door of a house in front of the open space.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!
There was a knock on the door.

After a while, a clear voice came from inside, "Who is it? Who are you looking for?"

Mercer smiled at the familiar voice, and Crow Dabao also cackled, "It's Crow."

As Ya Dabao finished speaking, there was a pause of a few seconds, and then the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out.

A few seconds later, the door opened with a creak, and a graceful girl appeared in front of him.

She wore a burgundy lace cotton shirt on the upper body and a denim skirt that reached her calves on the lower body. Her chest was bulging and her waist was very thin.

There is a layer of black leggings on the slightly plump and straight legs.

On her feet were a pair of small leather boots with heels.

She has delicate features and is very beautiful.

She had dark green neck-length hair and beautiful big black eyes, looking at Messer hesitantly.

"Messer?"

The corners of Messer's mouth curled up:
"Why, you don't recognize me?"

Makino looked at the boy in front of him with surprise. He was less than five centimeters shorter than himself. You should know that even with high heels, he was only 1.66 meters tall. In other words, Messer was almost as tall as himself now.

And his face now doesn't look like a nine-year-old like Ace at all, but instead looks like a teenager of fourteen or fifteen years old.

"What have you been eating in the past three years? Why has it changed so much?"

As he spoke, he pinched Moses' face with both hands, pinching and pulling it, with joy in his eyes.

"Messer, you know what?" Makino blinked and looked at Messer: "I really want to beat you up right now."

Mercer raised his eyebrows and moved his head closer to her face. He looked at her flushed face and trembling eyelashes. He used his hands to squeeze her face, imitating her, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Don't worry, you can't do it. Even if I let you use your hands and feet, you can't beat me. I'll give you a look, and you have to lie down quietly."

Makino pouted slightly, let go of Messer's face, held Messer's hand, and took away Messer's hand that was placed on her face in a mischievous manner.

"Just brag, I'm holding your hand now, do you have the ability to knock me down with your eyes?"

Messer smiled, looked at her with a slightly fixed gaze, and released his domineering aura. A weak impact acted on her consciousness, and the next moment, Makino's head tilted and she fell down.

He flipped his wrist and grabbed her hands, so that she didn't fall to the ground. He held her wrist with his left hand and lifted her up, then bent his body slightly to carry her on his right shoulder, and put his right hand around her knees.

Moses carried her to the courtyard, leaving behind a message: "Dabao, close the door."

A few minutes later, Messer carried her into the living room on the second floor and laid her flat on the sofa. Looking at Makino sleeping peacefully, Messer smiled.

"Mei, you beat people up as soon as you meet them. You are so mean."

Ya Dabao followed Messer like a running chicken. Now he jumped onto the table and laughed strangely at Messer.

Moses smiled and said, "She didn't say she didn't believe it. I just wanted to satisfy her. It's not my fault."

"Come on, let's go meet Ace and the others."

Crow Dabao nodded and took Mercer into the castle. He flew out of the living room, closed the door, went down the stairs, and flew from the yard to Mount Korpo behind.

Standing in front of the French window on the top floor, looking at the scenery outside, Perona stood beside Messer, with curiosity on her face, "Messer, are you familiar with that woman just now? What's her name?"

"Her name is Makino. I met her when I was a kid. We were pretty good friends back then. The last time I saw her was a few days before I met you."

"After leaving the East Sea, I went to the West Sea with my grandfather, and then I kidnapped you with an apple."

"Uh, kidnap me?"

Perona's face suddenly turned embarrassed, and her cheeks puffed up with anger.

He took Moses' arm and straightened him up, then looked up at him with his eyes wide open.
"How could I be as gullible as you say? I only followed you after careful consideration. I, Pepe, am not that easily gullible."

Messer laughed and poked her bulging cheeks with his right index finger. With a "puff", the air in her mouth was released.

Patting her head, Mercer smiled and said, "Well, you are indeed not easy to deceive. I went to great lengths to trick you away."

Perona blinked, and angrily hit Messier's chest with her white right fist, but the next second, Messier played "cloth" and grabbed the "stone", winning!

Perona stared with an unhappy look on her face, and a ghost doll emerged in her left hand and rushed towards Messer's chest.

A wicked smile appeared on Messer's lips, and black and red arcs of electricity exploded on his body. He flashed brightly, and five ghost dolls in a row were directly shattered by the Conqueror's Haki.

At this moment, Messer watched Perona's legs soften and she sat down on the ground with her head drooping. She spoke negatively:

"I'm sorry~ I'm so weak, I was actually harmed by my own ability. If there is an afterlife, I want to be a puppy~"

Messer retracted the negative arc of domineering electricity that was wrapped around his body, and looked at the pink-haired loser whose hand he was holding with some subtlety.

A few seconds later, Perona suddenly raised her head, her pretty face flushed as she looked at Messer, baring her teeth and saying:

"I'm not a dog. Let me go."

Messer let go obediently, put his hand on Perona's head and rubbed it, saying in a gentle tone:
"Yeah, I know. Pepe is not a dog. Pepe is just a bit of a vegetable."

Perona went crazy, screaming "Ahhh" and suddenly jumped up, rushing towards Messer with her fangs and claws bared.

Messer looked at this scene. If he didn't hide, the next moment she would definitely hug his neck with both hands, then wrap her legs around his waist, and then open her mouth to bite his face.

This is probably the feeling predicted by Observation Haki.

Messer instinctively dodged her and grabbed the back of her collar with his left hand. Then, Perona was hung in the air by Messer's collar.

Perfect.

Messer blinked and put her down. Perona Duck sat on the ground and looked up at Messer with grievance.

"Are you bullying me?"
