I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 146 145. Oh, the pupils are dilated.

The next day, early morning.

"Then I'll leave the bar work to you today."

Messer looked at Xiong Bao and Perona at the bar, with Robin and Makino standing beside them. Perona asked:
"What about Yamato and the others?"

“They go to practice.”

Mercer said with a smile, and then Ya Dabao took the three people back into the castle.

Ya Dabao flew out of the bar. Mercer and his companions stood at the window and could see the village dock which had become bustling.

A moment later, in an alley at the port of Goa Kingdom, Messer and his three companions appeared. Messer took Eri's hand and looked at Robin and asked:

"Where is the newspaper you're interested in?"

Robin's appearance at this moment was a kind of heroic face that was blended with Mercer's face.

She wore a pair of black ankle boots and denim shorts, black leggings on her legs, a black short-sleeved top, and a purple waistcoat on the outside, revealing the full curve of her chest.

Hearing what Moses said, he chuckled and said, "Just come with me."

As he said this, he tilted his head towards Moses and then led the way.

Messer motioned for Makino to follow.

Makino walked forward with a smile, put his right arm around Messer's left arm, and winked:

"Well, let's go then."

Messer glanced at her and followed with Eri in his right hand.

Like a family of three.

The crow Dabao flew in the air following Moses and his four companions.

Soon, we were walking on the spacious and clean street. At this time in the morning, the street was bustling with people, various hawking sounds, and vendors had set up their stalls.

Robin slowed down his pace.

Walking beside Eri, he looked at Makino and raised an eyebrow, chuckling softly.
"Last night, I used Den Den Mushi to make an appointment with the president of that newspaper. The newspaper is called Diandiantong, a niche newspaper with poor performance and on the verge of bankruptcy. So I used 11 million Baileys to buy out the entire newspaper, including all its equipment, including the camera Den Den Mushi, cameras, printers, fax machines, storefront rentals, and so on."

It is worth mentioning that the other party rented the store for ten years at one time, and there are still eight years left.

As they walked, Robin began to transform herself into a pretty secretary, chattering to Messer about the composition of the newspaper. After a while, they came to the door of a slightly remote store with the words "Diandiantong" written on the doorplate.

Pushing open the door, it looked like a small workshop inside, with tables piled with papers and the interior space was only about 100 square meters.

At this time, as the doorbell rang, several people came in. There were seven or eight people inside, both men and women. A middle-aged bald man in his fifties came up and extended his hand with a flattering look on his face:

"It turns out to be Miss Mello (Robin). I have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time."

Robin laughed and reached out to shake his hand gently. "President Ross, then let's deliver it directly to the newspaper office at the price we agreed on yesterday."

Ross glanced at Messer and the others and laughed dryly:
"Okay, okay, then we'll pay and sign the contract. Um, where's your money? Hahahaha."

Seeing him like this, Messier smiled and shouted to Ya Dabao at the door. Then a black shadow flew in, with a suitcase in Ya Dabao's claws.

It fell on the table beside Moses,
Messi opened the suitcase, and inside were rolls of Baileys that smelled of ink.

Robin smiled and said, "Then let's sign the contract."

Ross smiled brightly and took the contract, property lease transfer certificate, pen and seal from the table beside him.

Robin Makino began to sign and seal the document with Ross.

Messer looked at the reporters working in the newspaper office, whose faces had some complicated expressions.

Soon, everything was over.

Ross clapped his hands to attract the staff's attention, wiped his eyes, and soon his eyes were red:

"Everyone, I've enjoyed spending time with you all, but something happened at home and I'm in urgent need of money, so I have no choice but to transfer the newspaper. I apologize. Now, I'll let your new president, Ms. Melo, speak to you. I'll be leaving now. Goodbye."

Having said that, he ran out with his suitcase in hand, as if he really didn't want to face such a farewell.

Messer curled his lips and fanned his nose to smell the pepper spray. The evil capital,

At this time, Robin walked up to them with a smile and spoke to them, roughly explaining the future work content of the newspaper, the bonus system, when the monthly salary would be paid, annual leave and other miscellaneous matters.

"Mello (Robin) is amazing. I definitely couldn't do that."

Makino easily wiped off the red ink on his thumb with a tissue, and looked at Miss Melo, who was using Robin's alias, with sparkling eyes as she drew various cakes for the newspaper staff.

"Hey, President Melo, I want to know when we'll get paid? President Ross hasn't paid us this month's salary yet. He said the new president will pay it at the end of the month.

Today is the 27th.”

A reporter looked at Robin and said, "I'm sorry, President Melo, but we're really struggling to make ends meet and need the money."

Robin narrowed his eyes and laughed angrily, "No wonder that guy ran so fast, it turns out he left a trap for me here."

but.

“How much was your monthly salary before?”

Robin asked.

"The base salary is 70,000 baileys a month, and then performance is factored in. Bonuses are given for breaking news, but the newspaper has been lukewarm, so I've only been receiving the base salary for the past few months."

The other person complained bitterly with a bitter face.

Robin chuckled:

"From today on, everyone will receive a base salary of 100,000 Baileys per month, with the remaining performance bonus calculated separately. Come over here now to sign your employment contracts. After you sign, I'll pay you your salaries.

With me, there's no cap on your salary. As long as you're willing to work hard, I guarantee you'll earn more than you've ever seen in your life."

"Thank you so much, thank you so much. You are nothing like that Ross. He would never do this to you."

"That's right. I, Al, have decided. I will work hard in the future, follow the president's footsteps, and strive to make our newspaper bigger and stronger."

"Yes, me too, Mel."

Looking at the newspaper staff expressing their loyalty one by one, Robin smiled slightly. This was considered a breakthrough.

After a while, Robin discussed the next work content with them, introduced Messer and Makino to them, collected some printing equipment and Den Den Mushi, and left.

Walking on the street,
Moses and Robin said:

"Then I'll leave it to you to buy the crows' uniforms and the camera-phone mushi. The crows will be paired up in pairs, with a newspaper deliveryman and a paparazzi."

“The next job is to train them for these jobs.”

Robin looked at Mercer and nodded:
"Don't worry, just leave these things to me. If I'm too busy, I'll ask Pepe to help me."

"Then let's go purchase equipment for the newspaper office."

"Okay, let's go."

Messer and Robin began to purchase special equipment from specialty stores in the city.

Half a day later, they had bought everything that could be purchased, and orders had been placed for those that were out of stock, which would be ready in the next few days. They spent the rest of the time shopping and having fun.

In the evening, the group went shopping and bought a lot of clothes and daily necessities.

Return to the castle space.

After washing up, Mercer sat on the sofa in the living room and began to meditate. Not long after, at Ya Dabao's invitation, he went down to the top-floor restaurant for dinner.

at the dinner table,
Runti raised her eyebrows and asked Messer:

"Do you need my help with the newspaper you guys are running?"

Messer thought for a moment and said, "When you're free, you can go with Robin and help. If you're interested, you can practice on your own and become a thug in the future."

Runti rolled her eyes at Messer:
"I'm not stupid. If you really need help, Xiao Pei and I can do it."

Mercer nodded and smiled:
"You are still young. Your main task now is to practice, learn to read, and grow up well. Put everything else aside for now."

Runti nodded and then buried her head in her meal.

"Messer, what about me? I can help too."

Chopper swallowed the food in his mouth and asked Mercer that he had a good relationship with Robin at home and wanted to help.

Messer looked at Chopper. Besides practicing, this kid was also learning various kinds of knowledge. The Human-Human Fruit gave him the full potential of the human species, which could support him in learning various kinds of knowledge with twice the result with half the effort.

"As for you, you can learn whatever you want when the time comes. But don't skip your daily drills, or I'll beat you up."

Messer looked at him with a smile, Chopper blinked, scratched his head foolishly, and laughed along with him.

"Messer, what about me?"

Sabo looked at Messi with a smile and asked:
"Can I study with Sister Robin after my daily practice?"

Messer smiled and said, "You can arrange it yourself. You are a person with your own ideas. Just make your own decision."

Sabo nodded happily.

"What about me?" Ace, who was next to Sabo, looked at Messer with a cocky look on his face. Seeing this, Messer squinted at him:
"You? You should practice well first."

Ace curled his lips, thought for a moment and said:
"Messer, when I was training today, that Shanks came to me and said a bunch of incomprehensible things to me. He asked me what I wanted to do in the future and asked me if I wanted to be a pirate."

"What did you say?"

Moses asked him curiously.

Ace's mouth curled up:

"I ignored him. He said his thing and I did mine. He obviously had bad intentions. What good is being a pirate?"

"Well, it's up to you, but he probably has no ill will towards you."

Ace nodded.

Kuleha found it quite interesting to see that Messer was like a patriarch, constantly answering questions for his companions.

I took a sip of the wine and found that the house was becoming more and more lively.

Looking at his whole family sitting at the big round table in the restaurant, eating and chatting, Messer's lips curled up.

"What are you thinking about? So happy?"

Perona placed a cutlet on Messer's plate with a smile in her eyes.
"During the meal, I saw you smiling from ear to ear."

Moses picked up the steak and put it in his mouth. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. He ate it very happily and said with a smile:

"nothing."

"Hala hala."

Perona covered her mouth and smiled, then picked up another piece for Messer, "Then you should eat more."

Messer rolled his eyes at her.

Soon, the meal was over.

Xiong Bao, Makino, Perona and others went to wash the dishes, while Messer came to the Adam sapling in a corner of the leisure area. It had been watered with life-catalyzing solution every day for several months, and it had grown a lot over the past few months.

The roots are also constantly spreading downwards, and under Ya Dabao's control, there is enough space for it to grow in the cracks in the castle walls.

Moser sat under the main trunk, feeling the unique and tenacious frequency fluctuations in the Adam Tree, integrating it with the domineering energy in his body, circulating and interacting with it, and constantly improving himself.

……

The next day.

noon.

"Stop."

A sweet voice like a lark appeared, and Uta shouted to Messer who was walking out of the bar:
"Moses, stop."

Mercer glanced back at her, then left without looking back and walked towards the rocky shore.

Uta gritted his teeth, stomped his feet hard, and ran out to chase after him.

In the bar.

A yellow-haired man with a khaki headband on his forehead with the letters "Jesus Bu" written on it looked at Shanks with drunken eyes:
"Boss, don't you want to go out and take a look? Aren't you worried that Wuta will be bullied by that kid?"

Shanks took a big gulp of wine, his eyes hazy with drunkenness. He pulled the corners of his mouth, confusion flashing in his eyes. He couldn't help but think of the words he accidentally got out of Ace when he went to see him yesterday.

"Moses? Why are you asking him?"

"What's my relationship with him? He's my brother. What else?"

"Nonsense, what else could they be but brothers?"

"Of course I know you exist. Grandpa talked about you when we were little."

As he recalled, the corners of Shanks' mouth twitched. He had been looking for someone for so long, but he didn't even recognize him face to face, and he was even tricked. A smile appeared in his eyes:
"You little brat, wait and see how I'll beat you up. Captain Roger is also capable, and the twins, Mercer and I, are just like him."

He waved his hand and said casually:

"Don't worry, Messer won't bully Uta."

Jesus sighed helplessly, "Since you're not going, I'll go take a look. I'll get some fresh air while I'm at it."

Coastside.

Uta stared in amazement as Moses jumped into the sea with his upper body and feet bare, and disappeared in an instant.

I was so angry that I was jumping up and down.

Wearing small leather shoes, he stepped hard on the gravel ground.

"You are a scoundrel, shameless, you are naked in front of girls."

Walking to where Messer kept his clothes, he blinked and found a very beautiful short sword. "Is that the weapon of that bad guy? Boys like to wield swords and guns, just like Shanks."

With curiosity flashing in his eyes, he reached out to touch the hilt of the sword and drew it out of its sheath. The blade was smooth and translucent. He looked at the two words "Han" and "Lew" on the hilt of the sword.
"What a beautiful sword. But it's so heavy. Oh, I can't lift it."

bass!
The tip of the sword pierced directly into the reef under his feet. Wuta held the hilt and breathed a sigh of relief:

"Why is there water seeping into the sword? It's dark blue, huh? Why do I feel a little tired and sleepy?"

Uta's knees softened and she knelt on the ground. At this moment, she suddenly noticed that her hand holding the sword had become shriveled and her eyes had become blurred.

"Huh? What's wrong with me? Why is there a river in front of me? Is this an illusion?"

At this time, Jesus Bu came over and looked at Uta who was kneeling on the ground with his head down. There was a daze in his eyes and he scratched his head:
"Uta?"

When he got closer, he saw that the arm holding the sword had become shriveled. His pupils shrank suddenly, and he bent down and stretched out his hand.
At this moment, a loud bang erupted on the sea surface not far away, startling Jesus and stopping him.

At this moment, Moses rushed out of the sea and stepped on the air, making a buzzing sound. In the blink of an eye, he came to Uta, pressed his left hand on the chest of Jesus in front of Uta, and pushed him away:

"Go away and don't stop me from doing my work."

Moses pulled the corner of his mouth and looked at Uta on the ground. He had just been practicing under the sea, and his observation Haki spread out, and he discovered the situation of this girl.

"You wouldn't do that to get yourself killed."

She stretched out her hand to grasp the sword of Hanlu, and the armed color domineering aura flowed, cutting off the effect of absorbing vitality. The armed color domineering came from vitality. Although Uta did not have domineering aura, she had vitality.

After cutting off the life drain.

The corner of Moses' mouth twitched as he looked at Uta, who now looked like a shriveled old woman. He pinched her chin with his left hand and lifted her face up.

"Oh, my pupils are dilated."

As their breathing rose and fell, the breathing rates of the two people fluctuated in sync. Messer's domineering aura flowed through the sword, returning the vitality to her. At this point, Uta's body was becoming full again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Breathing fluctuates.

The dark blue water of Messer soaked her body, adjusting some of the withering problems in her body.

By the way, Messer sensed the frequency fluctuations of the "virtual reality space" hidden in her body.

After a moment, when Messer sensed that there was no problem in her body, he began to concentrate on sensing that unique and complex frequency fluctuation.

As their breathing rose and fell, the two people's auras merged into one, and a layer of dark blue light appeared on their bodies. Jesus Bu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he murmured:
"What is this? A devil fruit power?"

"No, it's domineering."

Jesus suddenly turned around and looked at Shanks and Ben Beckman who had suddenly appeared. Shanks looked at Moses and Uta with a serious look and asked Jesus:
"Bu, what happened just now? Why did I sense that Wuta's aura became unusually weak?"

Jesus scratched his head, unable to explain. "Just now, when I came over, I found Uta kneeling here, holding the sword in their hands. His body was shriveled and looked very creepy. I was just about to go over and separate Uta from the sword, and then this guy jumped out of the sea and lifted me up. I don't know how he did it, but now Uta is back to normal."

Shanks felt that Uta was no longer in danger and breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but glare at Jesus:
"It's a good thing you were stopped by Messer, otherwise things would have gotten worse."

Jesus looked at his leader blankly, "Why?"

"Because that sword is a demon sword, the kind with great swift sword quality, and one with a very bad temper."

"Demon sword?"

Shanks was about to explain when Mercer took the sword from Uta's hand, put her on the ground, and said lightly:
"It's a kind of sword that has its own spiritual power. The characteristic of Hanlu is to absorb the sword owner's domineering aura at will. But what if there is no domineering aura? That would be life force."

At this point, Messer changed the subject and looked at Shanks unkindly:
"Uta, that naughty kid, deserves a beating. Shanks, you too, how can you be a parent? Are there some things you can't just touch casually?
If I had dived a little deeper and come up a little later, the little yellow-haired creature beside you would have separated Wuta and Hanlu, and the vitality that was taken away would have been irrecoverable.

If things go wrong, your Uta will be an old woman for the rest of her life."

Shanks couldn't help but sweat on his forehead and looked at Messer gratefully:

"Thank you for this time, Messer. I owe you a favor. I'll tell Uta about it later."

"Tsk, words alone won't cut it. If I were you, I would definitely pin her down and spank her with a belt. If I don't teach her a lesson, what will happen next?"

"Well, that's not necessary."

Shanks laughed dryly and waved his hands.

At this moment, Uta came back to his senses and looked at Moses blankly:

"I just seemed to be dreaming."
