I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 142 141. The concept of burning!
"What?"

The slippery fruit was placed against her mouth, and Mercer said with a smile:
"Eat it, I think it suits you well."

Makino blinked at Messer, tilted his head back, chuckled, and shook his head:

"I can't take it. It's too valuable. You've taught me so much. I can't take something like this from you anymore."

As he spoke, he pressed down Messer's hands with both hands, his eyes filled with emotion, and he gently refused: "You should leave this kind of thing to them. Eri and Ace haven't eaten it yet, right? I'll forget it."

Mercer smiled, hooked the fruit stem, held her hand with his backhand, and pulled her to sit on the bar stool beside her as she opened her eyes slightly.
"Aren't you curious about the effect of this fruit?"

Makino became curious after hearing this. Although he couldn't accept it, it didn't matter if he listened to it. He smiled and asked:

"Hey~ Then tell me?"

"A devil fruit that can beautify your skin. It's unique and can make your skin smooth and slippery for the rest of your life."

"How is it? Not only smooth but also moisturizing. It also has beauty-enhancing properties. What do you think now?"

Messer looked at her playfully. Makino couldn't help swallowing, his eyes slightly widened.
"Does this kind of devil fruit still exist in the world? Is it true or not?"

"Making your body slippery and smooth is just the most basic body transformation. It's more than that. It can also make your body surface have the effect of sliding away any ordinary attack."

"Well? What do you think now?"

Makino blinked, and looked at Messer with a twitching mouth, his eyes slightly narrowed:
"Do you think I'm ugly? That's why you want me to eat you? I'm telling you, I won't have any money to pay you back after you eat me."

Hearing her words, Mercer smiled and said jokingly, "It doesn't matter if you don't have money. Just compensate me with yourself. I still need a little cook here. You can come with me from now on."

Makino's pretty face suddenly turned red, her eyes became a little vague, and then she covered her mouth and chuckled softly:

"Did you trick Yamato, Pepe and the others into coming here like this? I've talked to them these days and I know how you abducted them."

Hearing this, Messer laughed and said, "We are a two-way street, one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. I like them very much, and they don't dislike me, so we stay together.

What about you? You're a person, too. You've become very strong now, no longer an ordinary person. After you eat the fruit, you'll become even stronger. The world is big. Let's go out and explore together. Just follow me from now on.

Isn't it fun for us to be together? It saves you from being lonely here alone. You keep scolding me on the phone, asking me when I'll come back to see you."

Makino's face turned even redder. She looked at Messer, the little guy she had met on the beach many years ago, who was now taller than her. The corners of her mouth turned up:
"Go away, you're the one who's lonely, not me. Um, do you want me to go with you? Then I'd have to think about it carefully. Although the devil fruit is very precious, I can't sell myself for it."

As he said this, he covered his mouth and laughed:
"Messer, I've discovered now that you're very good at deceiving little girls. I think they're all very beautiful. If you grow up and get married, will you choose one of them?"

Makino looked at Messer with a gossipy smile, his eyes full of curiosity, but the smile on the corners of his mouth was a little stiff.

Why are you saying this? What's wrong with me? What am I thinking about?

Makino's eyes became a little vague.

Messer looked at her in surprise, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "So what do you say? Who do you think I should choose in the future?"

Makino's face was stunned, and he blinked, then tutted, "That's your business, not mine. You can choose whoever you want. Even if you choose all of them, it's none of my business."

As soon as he said that, Makino felt a little regretful, and his expression became complicated. He really wanted to slap himself in the face for what he had just said. Why did he say such a thing?

Messer rolled his eyes at her and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you then."

Makino looked at Messer blankly, "What do you mean? I don't understand? Can you explain it to me?"

"I usually don't repeat myself twice. If you don't understand, forget it."

"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. Eat the devil fruit quickly. I want to see what changes will happen to you after eating it."

Makino looked at Messer with a twitching mouth, and she reacted:
"you"

Messer rolled his eyes and put the Slippery Fruit against her lips. "This thing is also a birthday present for you the day after tomorrow. Consider it my gift to you in advance."

Makino's eyes widened slightly, and then he smiled brightly:

"It's expensive, isn't it?"

He took the fruit with both hands and looked at Messer with joy, "Since you insist on giving it to me, I will accept it reluctantly."

"You don't have to force it."

Mercer said to her speechlessly, "If you don't want it, then give it back to me."

Makino said with a smile: "How can you take back a birthday gift you gave to someone?

Don’t I have any dignity?”

"If you don't want to give it back, then shut up and eat it quickly. This thing is very valuable. If someone finds out and steals it from you, you can just hide and cry."

"How do you eat it? I haven't eaten it yet."

"Open your little mouth wide, bite down hard, and eat it all, bite by bite. Although it may feel a little uncomfortable at first, you will feel better after a while."

"Uh!"

Makino looked at Messer with a twitching mouth, and glared at Messer fiercely. After seeing this, Messer said speechlessly:

"Didn't you understand? Do you want me to give you some guidance?"

Makino rolled his eyes, opened his mouth and took a bite. Snap! A gap appeared. Makino chewed it and his face turned green.

"It tastes terrible."

"It's okay if it tastes bad. If you don't want to suffer, eat it quickly. Finish it in a few bites and then drink some wine to rinse your mouth."

Makino obediently took big bites and ate all the slippery fruit after a few bites. At this time, Messer sensed that a familiar frequency fluctuation began to appear in Makino's body.

What the eye sees.

In the blink of an eye, Makino's body began to change slightly. His skin became unusually smooth and tender, and the originally fine pores on his face seemed to have disappeared.

The body also becomes extremely coordinated.

It was as if it had been carefully carved by the best sculptor. The already beautiful face now seemed to have been given the finishing touch.

A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Makino swallowed the last bite of fruit pulp, looked at the teapot beside him, picked it up and poured water into his mouth.

Gudu Gudu!

A trickle of water slid down from the corner of his lips.

Makino saw Messer looking at him, a little puzzled, and tilted his head and asked:

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Go back to your room and look in the mirror and you'll know." Mercer chuckled.

"I guarantee it will surprise you."

Makino nodded hesitantly, walked past the bar and went upstairs.

After a moment, Makino walked down with a confused look on his face. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. When he saw Messer, he smiled and asked:

"Is my sister beautiful now?"

"Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, so beautiful that it's bubbling."

Messer said speechlessly, and Makino smiled and stretched out her pink and smooth slender hand.

"My hands are so slippery right now, how about you try it?"

Winking at Messer, Makino hooked the finger of his left hand at Messer.

Seeing this, Messer held her hand with his right hand. The next moment, Makino pulled his hand away, and an extremely smooth and forceless feeling appeared, and the tender hand in his hand broke free.

"Hehehe~ I feel like I can do a lot of things now."

Makino looked at Messer happily and reached out her hand again. A hint of amusement flashed in Messer's eyes. Armament Haki wrapped around her right hand and grabbed her wrist.

Pull it towards you.

The next moment, Makino let out a cry of "Ah" and her body was pulled over at once. Looking at the body rushing towards her, Messer put his left arm around her shoulders.

The weight on the legs follows.

Seeing Makino sitting sideways on his lap, and now looking down into her eyes, Mercer held her left hand and smiled:
"Do you really think your fruit ability is invincible? Stop kidding. You can bully ordinary people, but when you meet someone like me who can use domineering power, you are still very weak."

Mercer released her left hand, tugged at her cheek and said with a smile:
"But you know what, your face is really tender and smooth."

Makino's mouth twitched as he looked at Messer who was pulling his face:

"So my ability can only make me beautiful?"

"Just have some fun."

Moses explained silently:
"Your beauty is only the basic effect of the fruit's ability, primarily the ability to eliminate friction and achieve super-slipperiness. Your body should be a super-human transformation. It's not just your skin, but that super-slippery ability should be a conceptual ability. You should strive to develop in that direction. People get tired, so see if you can smooth it out. There's also the issue of pain, vision, and so on."

"Fruit abilities need to be developed, especially this kind of conceptual superhuman fruit. Use your smart brain well and don't act like an idiot." Mercer said, poking her forehead with his finger.

"If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me and I will help you develop it. This ability to eliminate friction is very interesting."

Makino blinked at Messer and said with a smile, "How long do you want to hold me?"

Moses curled his lips when he heard this. "Why don't you get up then? I'm not forbidding you to get up. I'm not holding you captive."

Makino blushed, and quickly jumped off Messer's lap and stood up.

Makino's expression turned serious, and he looked at Messer seriously and said:

"I'm too beautiful now. If I stay here alone, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble. Didn't you just say that you want me to go out to sea with you in the future? Well, I promise you."

"Okay, I see."

Mercer nodded calmly, and raised his head to show her that he understood. Makino's face froze for a moment.

"That's it? That's it?"

Moses looked at her speechlessly:
"Otherwise? Should I be grateful? What a joke."

Makino puffed up her lips and said angrily, "I'm a super beautiful woman, and I'm talking to you like this, and you don't want to put on a happy expression?"

"Happy, I'm very happy, I'm so happy, okay?"

Messer looked at her helplessly, with an expression that said, "Don't be childish."

The corner of Makino's mouth twitched, and he felt a pain in his chest due to anger. He took a deep breath in a hurry, and his chest began to rise and fall heavily.

Messer looked at her with a smile, "Are you trying to seduce me?"

Makino: “.”

He laughed speechlessly:
"Are you looking for a beating?"

Mercer sighed and rolled his eyes at her helplessly. Makino's face darkened.

"Just wait for me, I will deal with you properly later."

Moses' eyes lit up with joy, and he said with a grin:

"Then I'll wait for you to deal with me, but remember, don't make me wait too long."

Makino "."

He rolled his eyes at Moses helplessly. He felt like he was being taken advantage of. He was speechless and sighed in his heart.

"Hurry up and leave. Don't delay me from cleaning up the bar. Go and practice."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Moses stood up and laughed, then he walked over to her and touched her head.

"Bye bye."

Makino turned around and looked at Messer walking away, his face slightly red and his lips curled:

"You stinky little brother, you have no respect for your elders."

……

Dazzling,

Two days later,
Afternoon. On a large rock on the shore.

A panda man sat here, with flames burning on his body.

Breathing fluctuates.

Wisps of flames rose up, and with a roar, the panda man turned into an orange-red fireball, floating in the air one meter above the reef.

The fireball kept changing its shape, turning into a fire snake, a fire dragon, a fire crow, and a fire cloud, expanding and then extremely compressing.

The flame turned dark red and then turned into bright white.

The surging temperature made the rocks below crackle with fire.

Suddenly, the dark red flame began to beat like a heartbeat. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! It seemed unusually strong and powerful.

Moses carefully experienced the feeling of this incarnation of fire, and deeply felt the burning fluctuations from the flames, which belonged to the conceptual power of burning.

The flame turned into a panda man sitting cross-legged on the reef.

The spiritual vision carefully felt the fluctuations of the burning flame,

The terrifying scorching flame energy gushed out in all directions, but the heat was confined to a five-meter radius.

Flame burning concept.

As his breathing rose and fell, the fluctuations of domineering aura and burning concepts blended in his body. The terrifying temperature was instantly ignited, and the reefs under his body turned into lava in the blink of an eye and flowed in all directions.

Thick black smoke rose from beneath him. Moses opened his eyes and the flames on his body dissipated instantly.

He stood up and let out a breath.

Consciousness returned, his mouth opened, and Sabo's figure was spit out, followed by Messer's body being taken out by Xiong Bao.

With a satisfied smile on his face and his feet on the ground, Messer looked at Sabo happily:

"Have you learned it? The burning concept fluctuations of the Flame-Flame Fruit in your body?"

Sabo looked at Messer in amazement, his face full of disbelief:

"Is that the temperature the Mera-Merma-Merma Fruit can reach? Doesn't the illustrated guide say the maximum temperature of the Mera-Merma-Merma-Nomi is only over 800 degrees Celsius? That temperature just now was at least higher than the temperature of ordinary magma, right?"

During this period, Sabo was not only practicing, but also did not neglect his studies.

Teacher Robin is teaching this family very seriously.

"Didn't you just experience it yourself? Seeing is believing. This is the potential of the Flame-Flame Fruit. As long as you can reach this level and improve your physical fitness, you will be the most powerful person in the world.

The Flame-Flame Fruit is very powerful, isn't there a saying? Water and fire are merciless, but flames are always strong.

Sabo looked at Messi excitedly. Just now, when the three of them were in a combined state, Messi's special perspective and that special perception of fire were still deeply engraved in his mind.

"Messer, you're really strong. If we really fight, how long do you think I can last?"

Sabo asked curiously.

Moses was wearing brown trousers and a purple short-sleeved shirt, grinning softly.

"How about giving it a try?"

Sabo's eyes showed a fighting spirit, and he nodded heavily, "Come, I will use my ability."

Xiong Bao ran back and stopped twenty meters away. He grinned at the two people ten meters away and shouted:
"Ready~Go!"

Messer looked at Sabo and smiled at him. The next second, his figure came in front of him silently and threw a punch lightly.

boom!
He tightened his whole body, and the moment his fist touched his body, a surge of power erupted.

The next second, Sabo in front of Messier exploded instantly, turning into flying orange flames all over the sky.

Mercer looked at the flames scattered in the air not far in front of him and began to gather together. He chuckled, took a step forward, and his figure suddenly appeared in front of a ball of fire. His right arm, which had turned as black as ink, grabbed him slowly but quickly.

With a flick of his arm, the next second, flames gathered rapidly around him, and Sabo's body was pulled out of the flames. Mercer grabbed his neck and laughed:

"Nature-types aren't invincible. You're still a bit naive, Sabo. You should have generated a large amount of flames to conceal yourself, instead of concentrating your body."

When facing someone stronger than you, you should use that attritional approach instead of thinking of other options."

Feeling the slight suffocation on his neck, Sabo's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he said helplessly:
"I understand. I will pay attention next time."

Mercer let go of his hand, and Sabo landed lightly on the ground. He rubbed his neck and grinned, "Messer, how strong are you now? On the sea?"

"Me? I'm only third-rate at best, top third-rate."

"Third rate?"

Sabo was confused, "What's the top level of strength then?"

"Grandpa counts as one, and so does that great pirate Whitebeard."

"What about the second-rate ones?"

"There are those I can't kill, and those I can't beat Grandpa and the others."

Sabo was very curious:

"for example?"

"Then let me think about it first."

Messi squinted his eyes and thought, at this moment, a black dot appeared on the sea in the distance in his field of vision.

He raised his eyebrows, a little curious, and his observation Haki spread out instantly. Then, a large red dragon-headed ship appeared in his perception, and two familiar auras also appeared in his perception.

Mercer glanced at Sabo subtly, "I'll tell you about the second-rate one later."

Sabo blinked, looking confused.
"OK then."

At this time, Xiong Bao came over, looked over with a pair of hawk-like eyes, and pointed at the sea over there.

"Messer, it's the pirates we met a few days ago."
