I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 130 129. Is she shy?

Mercer looked at this scene helplessly and pinched her nose:
"You can't use that kind of power on your own people. It will kill him."

"Brother, do you hate that nasty power? If you do, then Eri won't have to use it anymore."

The well-behaved girl said kindly, and at the same time, the dangerous fluctuations around her were withdrawn.

Moses used a stream of water in his hands to wash away the grease on his hands and also helped clean the grease on her face. He looked at her pretty face and laughed lightly:
"That's not the case. That's a power that can be used to protect you. Don't reject her. Open your mind and body to accept her and control her. When the day comes when you can use her like breathing air, you'll find that she can be very well-behaved."

Eri tilted her head and reached out to poke the dark blue water ball in front of her.

"Just like my brother is now?"

"clever."

Messer rubbed her head, and Eri immediately gave Messer a bright smile.

Ace stared blankly at the interaction between the two, the corners of his mouth twitching violently. He always felt like an outsider. The two guys opposite him, who looked like harmonious brothers and sisters, looked more like family.

I couldn't help but feel a little sore in my nose.

Ace twitched the corner of his mouth, glared at Messer fiercely, and turned away.

Sabo saw this and hurriedly shouted, "Ace, where are you going?"

"Don't come over here, I want to be alone."

Sabo sighed helplessly. Once Ace got stubborn, it was difficult for him to persuade him. He could not help but look at Messiah for help.

Robin looked at Mercer and chuckled, "It seems your brother is a problem child."

Knowing Messer's background, she naturally knew Ace's background.

Messer watched Ace walk away, smiled, and rubbed Eri's head, "Then I'll go check on that idiot."

"Well, Eri is waiting for her brother here."

The girl is well-behaved and sensible.

Not like some dead tsundere who is tired of taking advantage of me.

Moses got up and followed him.

After a while, Messer was about ten meters behind Ace, keeping that distance.

Ace seemed to have sensed Messier's arrival and couldn't help but quicken his pace, but Messier still followed him at a leisurely pace.

After a long moment, Ace pretended to be expressionless and turned around, then spoke in a cold voice:

"Aren't you going to stay with that monster sister of yours? I don't need you to come to me."

Messer looked at him calmly, just looking at him quietly. After more than ten seconds, Ace opened his eyes wide as if competing with Messer to see whose eyes were bigger.

"What do you want to say? You chased me and said nothing. Are you looking for trouble?"

After taking a look at the surrounding environment, Messer walked to a big tree with a diameter of one meter, kicked the trunk with one foot, and with a dull bang, the whole tree fell to the ground. Messer took two steps and sat down on the fallen trunk.

He looked at Ace and smiled, then patted the tree trunk beside him:

"Come and sit."

"Tsk, I came here just because you asked me to. Who do you think I am?"

He was stubborn, but he came over and sat next to Moses, glaring at him sideways:

"What do you want to say?"

Messer grinned and put his hand on Ace's head:

"My stupid brother, were you jealous just now?"

Ace's eyes froze, his face stiffened, and then instantly turned red as he began to struggle violently, "You're jealous, your whole family is jealous."

Moses tilted his head to look at him and chuckled:
"In terms of blood relationship, you are the only one in my family now. Ace, my stupid brother!"

Ace's eyes flickered as he stared at Messer closely, his tone inexplicable:
"So is our relationship just based on blood?"

Moses thought for a moment and said, "That's part of it, but more importantly, I don't hate you.

No matter what you think, regardless of blood relationship, the fact that you are my brother will not be changed in any way."

"I don't hate you either. When I knew I still had you as my family, I was very happy, very happy."

"Over the years I've asked a lot of people what they would do if Roger had a child, but they all told him to just die.

I was angry and scared, but when I thought about the fact that I still had a brother, a real brother, I felt that what they said was nothing.

Because I believe that no matter what others say, you must want me to live.

Right? "

Ace stared at Messier closely, with hope in his eyes.

Moses chuckled and smiled while pressing his head:

"Yes, I hope you live, live freer and happier than anyone else. This is what you should do in your life from now on.

You must remember that you have an older brother, and your brother is stronger than you."

"There's no need to say the last sentence. I'm getting stronger too."

Ace smiled helplessly.

It's incredible, the feeling of being with Messer is completely different from being with Sabo and the others.

Ace felt an indescribable sense of security in his heart.

Incredibly, my heart became calm.

"Messer, how long will you stay here this time?"

Ace turned his eyes away and asked with an embarrassed look on his face.

Mercer looked at him sideways and smiled after a few seconds, "I think you'll be staying in the East China Sea more often in the future."

"Really?" Ace said calmly, "Aren't you going back to your home on the Grand Line?"

"I'm not going back. I killed the two only sons of the king's family over there. I can't stay there any longer."

"Uh, are you wanted?"

Ace was confused and stared at Messer with wide eyes:

"Are you bountyed? Doesn't that mean I'll be a pirate with you from now on? What did the old man say? What's your bounty now?"

Mercer burst out laughing and patted his head:

"What are you thinking about?"

"How could I possibly become a pirate if no one found out?"

"What? Do you want to be a pirate?"

"That's not the case. So, you were afraid of being discovered, so you ran away early?"

Ace looked at Messer speechlessly, "You're quite brave. You even dared to kill the king's son."

"They are not good people either. They have offended me, so... forget it, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about something else, like you."

"Me? What can I say? Every day I practice breathing techniques with Sabo, then go to the Uncertainty Terminal to rob, and go to the forest to fight wild beasts. It's just like that every day."

"Then you've lived a pretty fulfilling life. Unlike me, I first went to the West Sea for a tour, then stayed on Sky Island for nearly two years, and recently went to the New World for a tour. From time to time, I just ran around the ocean, which was not interesting at all."

Ace stared at Messer blankly, feeling that this bastard was showing off and pretending to be cool in front of him.

I'm so angry!
But I can't beat him.

I couldn't help but grind my teeth.

"Those guys who came with you, were they also people you met while running around on the sea?"

"And that pink-haired girl just now used that kind of devil fruit to attack me, right?"

"Did you eat a devil fruit? I saw you use fire just now. And that panda's mouth was so wide open, is that also a devil fruit? And what about Crow Dabao?"

Ace became inexplicably excited, looking at Messer with sparkling eyes and asking him questions.

With a smile on his lips, Messi happily told him about his experiences over the past three years.

Before they knew it, the two had been chatting for a long time, and Ace was completely immersed in Messer's story.

It was like being there. I laughed out loud when I heard something interesting, but frowned when I heard those annoying guys that Messier mentioned. I wished I was there.

At this time, Ace asked Messier curiously:
"By the way, Mercer, the domineering power you just mentioned, that's the domineering Haki I used to knock Sabo unconscious just now, right?"

Moses smiled and said, "Yes, it is the color of the overlord."

"Then do you have it?"

"look."

As "Bilibili" shone, black and red arcs of electricity burst out from Messer's right hand that was stretched out in front of him.

Ace touched it with his hand, feeling a little strange: "Why can't I feel anything?"

"You just passed out the moment you felt it, idiot."

Mercer curled his lips and cursed.

"Who are you looking down on?" Ace glared at Messer. "I also have Conqueror Haki. How could I possibly be defeated by you?"

Come to think of it.

As soon as Messier thought about it, the black and red electric arc wrapped around Ace's arm. Suddenly, Ace's eyes became dazed and he felt a surging impact on his consciousness.

"My consciousness is about to fade."

Ace fell down in a daze.

Moses reached out and grabbed his face, then he laid him down against the thick trunk of the tree, preventing him from falling headfirst to the ground.

After a long while, Ace regained consciousness, rubbed his brows and sat up, looking at Messer blankly:

"How long have I been asleep?"

"one day one Night?"

"what?"

Ace's mouth dropped open, his face filled with shock.

"Just kidding, half an hour."

"Phew, you scared me." Ace smacked his head helplessly, "Your Haki has a lot of staying power."

"Why don't you just say you're too weak?" Mercer corrected him. "If you were as strong as me, you'd just be dazed for a moment. Or maybe nothing would happen, you'd just feel clear-headed.

Instead of falling asleep.”

Ace's face darkened and he said nothing.

"When I came here, I told Grandpa that I would teach you how to practice during this time. Do you want to learn?"

Ace's eyes widened, "Is this true?"

"Then I want to learn your ability to release fire. That's so cool."

"Is that right?"

A quiet dark red flame ignited in his palm, and the flame kept changing shape under Messer's control.

Fireball, Fire Javelin, Fire Fist, Fire Fist.

Ace's eyes were full of envy.

Moses chuckled and said:
"You can't learn it without awakening Armament Haki, and you can't learn the breathing method without reaching the state of unity between man and nature.

I have many interesting abilities, but you can't learn any of them. Oh no, you can learn a few simple ones from the Six Forms of the Navy."

Ace's face suddenly became depressed, and he looked at Messer hopefully:

"Is there any other way for me to learn faster?"

"A suitable devil fruit can often transform a person. Do you want to eat it?"

Ace's face was a little tangled:

"But after eating it, I can't swim."

"Yamato can swim. It's just that she can't swim."

"You mean the guy whose asshole father locked him in seastone shackles for six years and who eventually adapted to it?"

"Well, the devil fruit is an unnatural evolutionary product of nature, so there will be defects after eating it, but this defect can be overcome without any accidents.

Just like Yamato."

"Yeah, that's right." Ace touched his chin, "Then eat it."

Then he looked at Messi and asked curiously, "So, what kind of food do you think I should eat in the future?"

As for those guys that Messer mentioned, they are all Devil Fruit users, and Ace believes that Messer must have some good insights.

"If it's you, I haven't thought about it yet. By the way, do you hate snakes?"

"snake?"

Ace was a little confused as to why Mercer asked this, and simply shook his head, but a hint of greed flashed in his eyes:
"I don't hate it. Snake meat is delicious, especially tender and chewy. Sabo and I often catch water snakes and grill them for dinner."

"Tsk, snake meat is obviously only delicious when cooked in soup. Snake soup is very nourishing. It replenishes qi and blood, strengthens bones and muscles, and beautifies the complexion."

Ace's mouth twitched when he heard this. This guy Messer always had so many reasons for eating, but it sounded quite delicious.

Isn’t it a bit of a waste to roast it over fire?
Shaking his head hastily, Ace brought the topic back to the previous sentence:
"You just asked me what the snake was doing?"

"secret."

Messer smiled, and Ace's face darkened. People who speak half-heartedly and make people feel uncomfortable are the most annoying.

"Then I will teach you how to practice from now on. Don't die when the time comes." When Ace heard this, he felt an unusually familiar sense of déjà vu, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Then I realized that this was what my grandfather, that stinky old man, often said to me.

The corners of the mouth twitched.

Moses smiled and patted his head, then stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come on, come back with me. Remember to get to know them well later. The weakest of Pepe and the others is stronger than you right now."

"Heh, it's just relying on the power of the devil fruit. If you don't use it, who's afraid of who?"

"But this is the fact. Devil Fruit abilities are part of your own strength. You can't deny that you just can't beat them."

As Mercer spoke, he walked back the way he had come. Ace stood up and followed him. At this moment, his face was a little nervous:
"By the way, I haven't asked yet, what happened to that little red-haired girl just now? I felt like she was almost killed just now."

"Eri, her name is Eri, she's my sister and your sister too. She has a name, so don't bully her anymore."

Ace's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, I have to be brave enough to do that, he doesn't want to die in vain.

"Why does that girl Eri look so dumb? Like she's not very smart?"

"You are the one who is stupid. Your whole family is stupid."

"Heh, you're the only one in my family. You finally admit that you're stupid."

Ace grinned and looked at Messer innocently.

They were talking back and forth with each other all the way.

A moment later, the two came to the place where they had roasted the bison. Ace looked at the empty chopping board and his mouth twitched. That was the dinner he had prepared, and he was not full yet.

But at this time, as he and Messer walked over, Ace saw that cheap sister Eiry walked up to Messer with a big piece of bone and meat and handed it to him in a coquettish manner, with an extremely cute smile on her face.

Seeing this scene, Ace suddenly realized that his cheap sister was a little too cute, like the most exquisite doll in the world.

It was much more beautiful than the top-notch doll worth tens of millions of berries that he had seen in the most exquisite doll shop in Goa City.

I also suddenly realized that the girls who came with Moses were all very beautiful.

Ace secretly thought:

"Could it be that this guy, Messer, has some special quirk?"

He hurriedly shook his head, looked at Peggy Wan, and suddenly felt relieved.

Eri secretly observed Ace and found that he seemed to have ADHD and looked stupid. She couldn't help but confirm in her mind the fact that this brother's younger brother was a fool.

Messer took the meat that Eiry had left for him and ate it with big mouthfuls. Eiry smiled sweetly and asked expectantly:

"Brother, is the meat delicious?"

Messer chuckled and said:

"Of course what I make is delicious."

Eri giggled.

Ace watched this scene and nodded secretly. This cheap sister was indeed a little silly.

Unconsciously, he had already accepted this family relationship in his heart.

Everyone was talking and laughing along the way as they walked towards Mount Korpo. Soon, they caught a giant bear, an anaconda, and a tiger and arrived at Dadan's doorstep.

Bang bang bang!
Three heavy sounds were heard as objects fell to the ground.

Dadan ran out in a hurry.

As soon as he saw the three prey outside the house, he couldn't help but open his mouth and scream, his jaw almost dropped and his eyeballs popped out.

With a runny nose, he asked Ace at the door in confusion after a few seconds:

"Little bastard, did you take the wrong medicine today? Or is it some kind of festival today? Didn't you just celebrate your ninth birthday a few days ago?"

At this time, Messer walked out from behind the giant bear, holding Eri's hand, looked at Dadan and smiled:

"Yo~ Dadan, Sasi is ignoring me."

Dadan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened again and he stammered:
"Memememe, Messer? Is that you?"

With a smile on his lips, Mercer smiled and nodded:
"it's me."

Dadan suddenly smiled, walked over, patted Messer on the shoulder, and laughed:

"You've grown taller since I last saw you. Unlike that jerk Ace, who's still so short."

"Dadan, shut up. How can you talk like that?"

Ashton was furious.

Ace's look made Mercer and Dadan burst into laughter.

Dismember the prey and light a fire.

Everyone was chatting, and when it was evening, they had a party outside the house.

rustle!

At this time, a sound was heard in the woods not far away. Messier turned his head and laughed. He saw Yamato with messy hair walking out from there.

Standing on his shoulder was Crow Five.

Yamato heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Messer, and came over to sit next to Messer with a helpless look on his face.

"Why are you here? I've been searching for you for a long time. The lingering scent in the forest made it easy to find you."

"Is the matter done?"

Yamato nodded, took the piece of tiger thigh meat handed to him by Messer, took a bite and ate it, puffing his lips and pouting:
"It was pretty simple. I was followed by a few thugs, and then I beat them up."

Mercer became curious: "Tell me more."

Yamato explained helplessly:
"Nothing much, just that someone saw we had a lot of Baileys on us, and some people got jealous and followed us, robbing us on the beach."

Messer laughed.

Yamato kept pouring out his bitterness to Moses.

Messer listened with a chuckle.

Those petty thieves were so unlucky. Not only did they fail to steal the money, but in the end, as Yamato said, they ended up having their legs broken.

Not only did he not get the first Pele, but he also had to pay for bone setting at the hospital.

At this time, Yamato took out a small bag from his chest, which was jingling with something inside, and handed it to Messier. He took it, opened it, and saw a smile in his eyes. There were Baileys, banknotes and coins.

Seeing Messer's curiosity and confusion, Yamato puffed out his cheeks and said speechlessly:

"Those little thieves paid me a tribute and asked me to let them go, saying it was compensation for me."

Messiah laughed happily, the total amount was almost 300,000 Baileys.

He casually handed it to Yamato and smiled:
"Just keep it as pocket money."

Yamato didn't refuse, nor did he care, and casually put it back into his chest.

Messi's eyes twitched and he was speechless, but he was not surprised.

A banquet is over.

Ya Dabao followed Moses down the mountain.

Messer took Luffy away from here. Now no matter how crazy he was during the day, he still had to go back to the village chief's house at night.

Not long after, he brought Luffy back to the village chief, talked to him about the construction starting tomorrow, and then left his house.

Walking on the brightly lit street.

Ya Dabao landed beside Moses and asked curiously:

"Are you going to find that Makino?"

"Well, our house is being built right behind hers, so you can stay at her place tonight."

Walking down the pier road, they reached the main entrance. Mercer looked at her front door with some curiosity, "Is the bar open yet?"

Then he opened the door and walked in. At this time, a clear and gentle voice came from the bar:

"I'm sorry, my bar hasn't officially opened yet, so we won't be accepting guests these days."

The bar has a simple layout, about 100 square meters, with several rows of seats, and various wines have been added to the bar racks.

Sitting on the round stool in front of the bar, he could see a pair of legs inside the bar. It looked like they were cleaning something inside the bar. Messer smiled:
"Then give me a glass of water."

As soon as the voice came out, there was a muffled bang under the bar. Makino screamed in pain, and then Messer saw her standing up with tears in her eyes and her hands covering her forehead.

This unlucky kid.

Moses saw her holding a rag in her hand, with some dust on her pretty face.

Makino looked at Messer without saying a word, his cheeks puffed up and resentment in his eyes. He raised his hand and threw the rag at Messer.

"You bastard, it was you this afternoon, you knocked me out and left without saying goodbye. How come I didn't realize you were such a bad guy before?"

Mercer took it, spread out the square rag, and placed the tip of his right finger in the middle of it. He began to spin it in his hand, and said with a smile:
"Then you'll know I'm worse later. I hope you don't hate me."

Makino reached out to Messer and said with a laugh, "Give me back the rag?"

Messer poked his index finger upwards, and the rapidly spinning rag flew over.

Makino's eyes twitched, and he reached out and grabbed it. Mercer sighed and said helplessly:
"There's no tacit understanding at all. You should just extend your finger and connect it."

"I'm really sorry for not connecting it." Makino glared at Messer with a forced smile. "I'm not as childish as you. If I can play with a dirty rag, can you play with anything?"

"Haven't you heard of it?"

Messer asked her curiously, and Makino was a little confused, "Have you heard of what?"

"A man remains a boy until he dies."

Mercer rolled his eyes at her, his words full of disdain: "You're so old and don't even know such wise sayings. You've grown up in vain."

Hearing these familiar words, Makino's eyes twitched, and he leaned over the bar, put his left hand on the table, and grabbed Messer's short-sleeved shirt collar with his right hand to pull his upper body in front of him.

For a moment, their faces were less than twenty centimeters apart.

Makino looked at Messer's long eyelashes, dark eyes, delicate skin and attractive face, and couldn't help but look away.

The corners of Messer's mouth curled up.

He put his mouth close to her ear and whispered, "Are you shy, Makino?"

The warm breath reached Makino's mind along with the words. Makino's body trembled suddenly, and his face turned red visibly, but then the corners of his mouth twitched, he was teased by a little brat.

A feeling of dissatisfaction rose in my heart, and I turned my head suddenly to look. The next moment, the two of them were face to face, nose to nose, less than a centimeter apart.

Messer could clearly feel her heartbeat quickening and her moist breath hitting his face.

Makino stared at Messer, who was so close to him, with a dull look in his eyes. His mind went blank. As he stared, a sentence suddenly popped up in his mind:

"If I'm this close, I can just pout and..."

Suddenly she shuddered, took a step back, looked away, put down the rag in her hand, and left a message:

"Wait, I'll get you some water."

Mercer looked at her utterly miserable appearance as she fled, his expression somewhat strange. He looked at Ya Dabao beside him:

"Is she shy?"
