I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 145 144. Global Daily!

"Who is he? Your friend?"

Ace walked over at this time, looked at Messer and asked, then looked at Shanks, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Red-haired Shanks?"

He recognized the man before him.

Garp once said that the little devil on Roger's ship was a guy that Roger liked very much.

He was also a famous figure on the sea in recent years. He had also paid attention to him, from the bounty order.

How did Moses get along with him?
Shanks looked at Ace's face, frowning slightly, feeling a sense of familiarity: "Well, I'm Shanks, what's your name?"

"Ace, my name."

Shanks' heart skipped a beat. It had the same name as Captain Roger's sword. "So what's your last name?"

Ace looked at him subtly, then looked at Messer, thinking, "What's going on?"

But I don’t think there’s anything I can’t say.

"Portgas D. Ace, my name is Portgas D. Ace. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Ace said his name openly and looked at him unkindly. Shanks was startled when he heard it, his eyes were filled with indescribable complexity:
"Who are you, Mr. Karp?"

Ace's brow furrowed, "Why are you asking that? Is he your enemy?"

Shanks laughed, "No, it's an acquaintance. I wanted to know."

Messer rubbed his forehead speechlessly. From Shanks's question just now, he realized that this guy came here to look for someone.

Based on my own guess, he should be looking for them, no, to be more precise, he is looking for the possible son of Roger.

Ace, you idiot.

At this time, Ace curled his lips: "He is my grandfather, is it clear?"

Then he stopped talking to him and looked at Moses.

"Come on, accompany me to practice."

Shanks looked over at this time, and Mercer also looked at Shanks. The former asked with a twitch of his mouth:
"Didn't you just say you didn't know? Then who is Ace?"

Mercer rolled his eyes. "Who knows whether you're telling the truth or not? I don't even know you well, so why should I tell you?"

Shanks smacked his lips and felt that it was right. Just as he was about to ask again, Messer had already walked away and got off the pirate ship.

Watching the two people walk away, Shanks looked at them silently, his eyes serious, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Why are you playing with him?"

Ace looked at Messer with empty eyes. Messer rolled his eyes and looked at him speechlessly:
"You tell me everything I ask you? How can you be so stupid?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Ace turned to look at Messer in confusion: "You're not familiar with that guy?"

Mercer held his forehead, speechless:
"We've only met a few times and chatted a bit. He just asked if there were any people in the village named Gol or Portgas. I just said I didn't know, but I didn't expect..."

The corner of Ace's mouth twitched, and his eyes became a little vague. Looking at this scene, Messer couldn't help but punch him on the head.

A crisp sound rang out.
Ace's mouth twitched, but he had to endure it.

"From what you said, it seems that guy is here to find us? What do you think?"

"Just stand there and watch. Never mind him. Just remember that when he asks you something, don't be stupid and tell him everything."

Ace: "Do I look stupid?"

"Aren't you stupid?"

Moses rolled his eyes at him speechlessly.

"Just wait for me."

"Boom!"

Mercer punched him on the head again, "How dare you talk like that? I think you deserve a beating."

Ace covered the large meat bump on his head, his mouth twitching in pain, and he shouted in frustration:

"You want to kill me, can't you be gentler?"

"How could that be? I love you the most. I can't bear to let you go."

Ace's face darkened and he rolled his eyes:
"You're kidding me, I think you just want to take advantage of the opportunity to hit me."

"Ah, you figured this out! You're amazing. As expected of Ace."

"Can you please be normal? I'm not a child."

The two men came to the rocky coast laughing and joking. Messier began to spar with Ace and taught him how to fight. Of course, the process was not important. The result was that Ace was beaten badly. In his opinion, Messier felt that he was taking his anger out on him.

However, the gains were not small, so he endured it reluctantly.

After a while.

thump! thump!
Mercer took Ace and jumped into the sea. The two of them breathed in sync. Holding his right hand, the frequency fluctuations of water circulated in their bodies.

Under Messier's manipulation, a layer of water film appeared in the mouths of the two people. The liquid oxygen in the seawater was captured and sent into the mouths of the two people. Ace looked at Messier with wide eyes, and a series of bubbles poured out of his mouth.

Three hundred meters deep offshore.

The two of them walked on the sand and stones on the seabed.

With the rise and fall of breathing, and the wash of the sea water, he was honing his body, punching, kicking, and refining his own strength.

Unprecedented experience.

After one hour.

Mercer brought Ace to the surface of the sea, holding a five-meter-long lobster in his hand.

On the shore, the lobsters were dried, their heads and tails cut off, and roasted over the flames.

An enticing aroma wafts into your nose.

"When did you learn this skill?"

Ace cracked a three-meter-long shrimp claw, took out the crystal-clear shrimp meat, and ate it happily, looking at Messer excitedly:

"Breathing underwater, that's so cool. When are you going to teach me? I want to learn it too."

Mercer ate the shrimp legs and rolled his eyes at him: "Am I not teaching you?"

"Messer, you are here. I was wondering why I could smell a fragrance near you."

At this moment, Yamato came over with his long legs, looked at Messing happily and asked, then took a one-and-a-half-meter-long shrimp leg handed to him by Messing, cracked the shrimp shell and started to eat it happily.

"Yamato, do you have a dog nose? You can smell Messer's scent from such a distance."

Ace complained speechlessly.

Yamato rolled his eyes and sat down on the rocks next to Messer. "I'm a mythical beast, the Great Mouth Shinshin, not an ordinary dog. Ace, do you want a beating?"

Ace's mouth twitched, and he shut up instantly. Yamato was no match for her. When she sparred with him, she was really ruthless.

"Can you be more ladylike? Can't you learn from Robin and Pepe?"

Yamato curled his lips:
"Why should I be a lady? Can I eat that? Besides, Robin is barely a lady, but Pepe is not a lady at all."

Hearing this, Mercer laughed out loud, "Indeed, Pepe is no lady. When she gets mad, you all have to kneel down."

Yamato and Ace froze while eating shrimp, their mouths twitching. Yamato looked at Messer pitifully:

"When will I learn to become one with nature? When will I become immune to Pepe's ghostly abilities?"

Ace nodded hurriedly.

Mercer laughed. "If Pepe knew what you were thinking, she would be sad."

Ace said angrily:

"You don't know what it feels like to not be affected by her perverted ability, but I feel very uncomfortable, don't you?"

Yamato looked at Moses with his eyes wide open:

"If you have the guts, why don't you use Heaven and Man Unity to defend against Pepe's ability? Why don't you kneel down and say such shameful words?"

"Well, it's really shameful. I have to find a way to help Pepe develop her abilities. I can't let that girl suffer in the future, otherwise she will be sad."

Messi stroked his chin and said such cruel words. Yamato and Ace's mouths twitched violently. Ace said angrily:

"Messer, please be a human being. Her ability is already powerful enough and does not need to be developed further."

"That won't do. Pepe's fruit ability is very powerful. I don't want her to be sad in the future."

Ace looked at Yamato helplessly, both of them feeling a bit upset.

Finished the lobster.

The three of them returned to the bar together.

Sit on a stool at the bar.

"A glass of juice, please."

"A glass of water, thank you."

"A beer, thank you." The next moment, Messer glanced at Ace. Ace's mouth twitched and he looked at Makino:
"Give me a glass of juice."

Makino covered his mouth and laughed, and soon placed a drink in front of each of the three people.

At this time, Shanks, who was also sitting at the bar, looked at Ace calmly. The more he looked, the more similar he looked, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Ace looked at him sideways:
"Why are you looking at me? Are you looking for trouble?"

Shanks laughed:
"Sorry, I just thought you looked like someone I know. So I was fascinated by you for a moment."

Ace's mouth twitched, and he looked at him unkindly. Seeing this, Messer curled his lips:

"You're a pedophile."

Shanks opened his mouth and his face twitched suddenly.

"Hahaha, boss, you've been bullied by that kid again. Are you a pedophile? Hahahaha"

"Boss, if I were you, I couldn't stand it. Go beat that kid up. He just bullied Wuta."

"I'm dying of laughter. I can't take it anymore. Hahahaha, boss, you're such a loser."

Loud laughter rang out, and the bar suddenly became extremely noisy.

Messer scratched his ear, speechless. He gulped down the water, looked at Makino and said, "You go ahead, I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he left through the back door under Makino's smiling gaze.

Return to the villa through the back door.

Seeing Crow Dabao and Robin on the swing in the yard, Mercer walked over.

"Why are you here alone?"

Hearing what Messer said, Robin looked up and smiled: "It's too noisy there. I prefer a quieter place."

"Ok."

Moses sat on the wide swing, looked at Ya Dabao and asked:
"Have you recruited all the white-necked crows in the mountains?"

Crow Dabao laughed "Gaga",
"We've recruited them. All the white-necked crows on the island have become crow's minions. Now there are more than 3,000 of the same species here."

"They've all taken the medicine the doctor prescribed, and they've all become much smarter. Many of them can even speak human language."

Mercer nodded.

At this time, Robin pulled Mercer's sleeve. Mercer looked over, and Robin pursed his lips and looked at him:

"Messer, what are we going to do in the future? I've been thinking about it for a long time. Makino opened a bar, and I also want to find something to do for myself."

"So what do you want to do?" Mercer looked at her calmly and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Robin chuckled and said, "Why don't you tell me what you want to do in the future? I want to know."

"In the future? I'm not sure. I don't want to be a pirate, and I don't want to be a marine either. Maybe I'll be a bounty hunter. Or a treasure hunter. I want to explore every corner of the ocean with you. I want to become the strongest man in the world, and take you with me to become the happiest and freest people in the world."

"I didn't expect you to think this way. It's a beautiful wish. We will definitely be very happy then."

"Robin, you're wrong. It's not a wish, it's just an idea, a goal. Only something that is difficult to achieve can be called a wish."

"Now I want to say," Robin looked at Ya Dabao beside him, "If we want to live a better life, we must know the intelligence information on the sea. I have done this before. Mercer, let's set up an intelligence agency that can provide convenient intelligence for our future lives.

how about it? "

Robin looked at Messer with hope. As she lacked a sense of security, she naturally wanted to control the intelligence.

"How specific?"

Moses raised his eyebrows, looked at her and said:

"Now that you've said it, you must have a plan in mind, right?"

"Well, after you left a few days ago, I took some time to go to the Kingdom of Goa and ask around. I was wondering if we could start a news agency first."

"News agency?"

"Well, we can set up our news agency's headquarters in Crow Dabao's castle. The crows are smart and powerful, making them the best newspaper deliverymen. Just like the World Economic News Agency, we can open branches on other islands and have all sorts of Den Den Mushi operations. The crows can also act as paparazzi with their camera-operated Den Den Mushi, and we can operate completely behind the scenes."

Robin looked at Messer with sparkling eyes, eager to get his approval:

"We have plenty of initial capital, and we can also make money by reporting on news and selling newspapers. If we control the news, we control public opinion, which will also be our source of intelligence in the future."

"Let's call our newspaper the Global Times, what do you think?"

Mercer looked at Robin and smiled:

"I don't understand intelligence work. How about letting you handle all of this from now on? How about you become the president of the Global Times?"

"Well???"

Robin stared at Mercer with wide eyes:

"Have you thought about this too?"

Moses shook his head and nodded, explaining:

"In the past, I wanted a few crows to serve as my eyes and ears, so I could gather intelligence. But as the number of crows grew, I started to have some ideas. It just so happens that we've come up with the same idea. What do you think?"

Crow Dabao blinked and said, "Mei, it's up to you to decide on this matter. The crows fully support you. There are too many crows in the castle, and food is a problem every day. Letting them out will make things easier for us."

Robin looked at Messer and smiled. "You're the president of the newspaper, and I'll be the vice president. So, tomorrow I'll go buy another newspaper. Let's build the framework first. Our newspaper will be published in the East China Sea first, and then we can expand into the other three seas and the Grand Route later. How do you do that?"

Messer smiled and nodded. "Sure. Yamato and I will be the newspaper's thugs. Entering this kind of news industry will definitely offend people. We will then deal with all kinds of dissatisfaction. Our goal in the next few years is to unify the newspaper industry in the East China Sea. How do you say that?"

"You're really thinking too far ahead. I'm just thinking of opening a newspaper first."

Mercer laughed. "But while the newspaper is the newspaper, you can't slack off in your cultivation. This world is still controlled by powerful barbarians."

Robin looked at Mercer and blinked:

"I'm sure I won't have enough time by then, so it'll be up to you to help me practice. Please, Mercer."

Robin smiled, blinked, clasped her hands together, and looked at Mercer, begging him in a playful manner.

"Since you can help others cultivate, I'll leave the cultivation matters to you. I'll help us gather intelligence, and you can help me train. How about that? We can divide the work and cooperate."

Mercer chuckled and said, "Your abacus beads are really well placed. Okay, I'm sure."

Moses looked at Ya Dabao:
"We'll clear out a large room in the castle's work area, where the newspaper office will be located. I remember several of your family members have learned to write, especially Crow. Let them help Robin first."

Ya Dabao nodded his head and said with a smile:
"No problem, the girl has enough time, and there are also Crow One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten. They can do it."

Messer laughed and looked at Robin, who extended his hand. "Then our [Global Daily] is established today."

Robin stretched out his hand and placed it on Mercer's palm, and Crow Dabao also stretched out his wings and came over.

"Well, hello, President."

"Then you too, Vice President. I'll leave the rest of my work to you."

"What about Crow? Mei."

"You will also be the vice president of our Global Daily's mobile newspaper headquarters. When the time comes, you can come and help Robin if you have nothing to do. Your whole family should come together."

"Crow agreed, okay."

"So, Messer, what's the content of our newspaper?"

"All kinds of celebrity gossip on the sea, interesting sights and scenery, the locations and cooking methods of various delicacies, anything is possible, and anything interesting can be written about." Messer said his thoughts with a chuckle.

"Since you've made preparations in advance, have you solved the problem of acquiring the newspaper?"

"Well, I've asked around. We could invest in a newspaper office that has all the necessary facilities. We could use it as our branch office, and we could recruit all the reporters there."

"Then let's take Makino there tomorrow. We can acquire the company in her name and then give her the position of vice president."

When Robin heard this, his eyes froze for a moment, then he covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

"That's right, you've thought it through. Both of our identities have some issues. For the sake of the future, it would be best to use Makino, who has a normal identity and experience, as a shield. But will she agree?

When we become bigger, we might cause trouble for her."

"Hmm? Didn't I tell you?" Mercer asked doubtfully, "We'll take her with us when we go out to sea in the future."

Robin twitched his lips and rolled his eyes at Messer:
"When did you tell me? I was wondering why Makino suddenly became a person with special abilities. It turned out to be you who did it."

"Hahaha, that's right, it was me who did it."

"Then let's go back to the castle and build the newspaper's office framework. Then we can stop by the Kingdom of Goa tomorrow to buy the office equipment."

"Yeah, okay, let's do it."

The two of them became smaller and were taken into the castle space by Ya Dabao.

work area.

After a while, a 200-square-meter room was cleared out some distance away from the laboratory.

It's very empty.

All that's missing is the skeleton filling.

Under Robin's command, Ya Dabao began to fine-tune the layout of the room.
