I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 178 177. Water of Life!

"Really? I don't think so."

Mercer smiled and said, "You're overthinking it. Read your book."

Robin looked at Messer suspiciously. She didn't believe what he said now. She could tell at a glance that something had definitely happened just now.

But since he didn't want to say it, she didn't ask.

The two continued to read the books in front of them. Time passed quickly, and from the windows at the top of the library, they could see the sky outside getting darker.

At this time, Crow Dabao flew in from outside and took the two back to the castle for dinner.

Amidst the ripples of space, Messer and Robin returned to the top-floor lounge with two books.

As soon as he landed, Messer looked at Uta, who was sitting on the sofa drinking juice, with some surprise, and waved with a smile:

"Yo? When did you get here?"

Uta smiled:
"I came here in the afternoon, and then I went to the castle with Shanks to visit Mr. King Gordon. They all said that Uta is a genius, and starting tomorrow, Uta will study here for a while.

After the visit, I went to a piano classroom to audit a class. Pepe and Eri were also there. Then we went out shopping together. Since you guys were open for dinner, Uta came along too.

Don’t you welcome Uta?”

Uta blinked and looked at Messer with a smile.

"Will you leave if I say you're not welcome?"

Messi said this. Upon hearing this, Uta stuck out her tongue at Messi and snorted softly, "I'm not leaving. Pepe said he would treat me to delicious food."

Messer rolled his eyes.

"Why don't you come and wash your hands and wait for me to treat you?"

Uta chuckled, stood up quickly, and followed Messier to the restaurant.

The dinner was sumptuous.

Six dishes and one soup, served with rice.

There was laughter and chatter at the dinner table, and Uta and Pepe told each other about their journeys during this period.

Everyone listened with great interest.

after dinner.

8 o'clock in the evening.

There was a musical performance in the cathedral on the third floor of Elegia Castle.

Led by Pepe and Uta, everyone enjoyed an auditory feast here.

After the performance, Messer leaned on the rooftop balcony, enjoying the sea breeze and clearing his mind from the melodious music that was still echoing in his head.

The night sky tonight is exceptionally beautiful, with dark blue and emerald interwoven. The sky is full of shining stars, twinkling one after another. Standing on the top floor is like standing in the starry sky.

"Would you like a bottle?"

Shanks came over with two bottles of drinks in his hands and offered one with a smile.

This time, Mercer didn't refuse. He gave him face. With the cold air flowing through his hands, he chilled the bottle, pried open the cork, and took a sip.
"Tell me, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Shanks glanced at Messer's wine and handed over his bottle with a smile. Messer smiled, took a deep breath, and exhaled gently, and wisps of cold air blew away.

Freezes in seconds.

Shanks pried open the cork and took a sip of wine with great pleasure, and said under the smell of alcohol:

"I really envy you. You know so many things."

Moses looked at him and smiled:

“It’s just some tricks that can’t be put on the table. I don’t believe you can’t understand the principles behind it, especially since you spend every day with Uta.

You've already understood a little bit, right?"

Shanks scratched his head awkwardly:

"I asked Uta a little bit, just a little bit, and the child said it was a secret. She promised you not to tell anyone the principle."

".However, although I said that this technique cannot be spread outside, I never said that it cannot be practiced in front of others."

“You may not be able to learn the exact breathing rate of the breathing method, but some of the basics are not that difficult to learn.”

"so you"

".I learned some of it secretly."

Shanks said cheerfully, "This isn't really Uta's fault, is it?"

Moses shook his head and said, “You learned it by your own ability. It’s your ability that you can learn it.

I’m not such an unreasonable person.”

Shanks secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Mercer really wanted to pursue the matter, he would have no way to stop it. It was also unlikely that he would learn not to use it. He laughed and laughed:
"I didn't expect you to come here too. I was thinking we might have to wait a while until my next trip to the East China Sea before we could meet again."

"Are you still going to the East China Sea?" Mercer raised an eyebrow. "Logically speaking, with your strength, shouldn't you venture out to the Grand Line?"

Shanks shook his head:
"For me, being a pirate is more about adventure. I want to travel around the world with my companions on my own ship.

I will go to the Grand Line, but not now. My companions are not strong enough to conquer that dangerous sea.

It's too early for them to go there now.

I'm still young and have plenty of time. Besides, aren't you too?
You are strong enough to sail the Grand Line, so why are you still staying in the East China Sea?"

"I'm younger than you, and I'll return the same words you just said. It seems we have the same idea.

However, as for me, I will go out for a walk from time to time, like now, I came to Elegia to play."

Moses smiled and said:

"Okay, enough small talk, let's get down to business. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"It can't be that I haven't seen you for a long time and come to talk to you."

Shanks said speechlessly: "Could it be that in your heart, I am someone who only comes to you when something happens?"

Messer's lips curled up, and he looked at him indifferently. After a few seconds, Shanks's mouth twitched, and he raised his hands with a helpless look:
"Okay, I said, isn't that okay?

I got some information from some intelligence channels that I am concerned about. I have to take a look at it, which may take about two months.

I originally planned to let Beckman stay here with Uta, and now that you are here, so..."

At this point, Shanks clasped his hands together and said with a playful smile:

"Please, my Uta will take care of you for about two months. I will come back and bring you a small gift."

The corner of Moses' eye twitched, and he said speechlessly:
“This is not a nursery.”

Hearing this, Shanks looked at Messer in shock.

What?
You said this isn't a nursery?

Are you kidding me?

Moses looked at his shocked expression. Although he didn't say anything, it made no difference whether he said it or not.

With a smile on his face, Messer said, "No matter what, she's not my daughter. Why should I care?"

Shanks blinked and grinned, "Okay, it's decided. I'll go back and tell Uta that she'll be staying at your place for the next two months.

Don't worry, I will pay for your food.

Although we are not very rich here, we can still afford the food expenses for Uta. Remember to eat a balanced diet. "

After Shanks finished speaking, he patted his butt and ran away.

Mercer curled his lips speechlessly.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kidnap her?"

Are you so confident in me?

Mercer leaned against the fence, looking at the beautiful scenery in the night sky, taking a sip of fruit wine from time to time, and muttered to himself:

"If you're not here to ask for help, why are you bringing orange wine? Do you really think I'm stupid?"

……

The next day.

In the early morning, it was just dawn.

High in the sky,
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the lounge, Uta squatted and looked at a dragon-headed ship sailing away on the sea below.

He looked at it eagerly, then looked up at Moses, pouting his lips as if to say, "I'm very unhappy, please comfort me."

Moses curled his lips and looked down at her, saying lightly:
"That bastard Shanks said he would pay for your food, but he sent you here and then just ran off.

What do you say we should do about this?"

Wuta said in a low voice with an embarrassed look on his face:
"How about I sing a song for you?"

"Poor Uta, do you think Shanks doesn't want you anymore?" Messer rolled his eyes at her. "Is he dissatisfied with your eating habits and left you with me?"

Uta gritted her teeth and looked at Moses:

"Shanks promised me that he would come and take me back in two months.

Besides, I don’t eat even a fraction of what you eat. You’re the glutton.”

"Whoo~"

Mercer exhaled. "I heard that Gordon will be teaching you music here starting today?"

"Yeah." Wuta said sullenly, "I will speed up the progress and try to learn all the basics within three months.

Oh, and Pepe and Eri will also go with me to learn."

"Well, they told me yesterday that you are very talented in music, so you should help them. If you do so, I will give you free food.

You can sleep with Pepe at night."

"You guys go after breakfast. Don't keep them waiting too long."

"ok, I get it."

"Okay, the boat has gone far away, stop looking, let's go eat."

After breakfast.

Robin and Crow Dabao went to the library to read.

Yamato, Runti, Kumabo, Ace, Sabo, Law, Chopper and others were training in the forest on the island, and also practicing fighting in pairs.

Uta, Pepe, and Eri went to Gordon's school to study music.

The Little Bear slowly sailed out of the harbor, to a sea area not far from Elegia.

On the endless sea, the water was sparkling, and Messer was warming up on the deck in his swimming trunks.

Makino, who was standing next to her, was wearing a burgundy bikini swimsuit with a layer of sea blue gauze on the outside, sunglasses and a sun hat, and was leaning against the fence with a fishing rod, ready to go fishing.

Under the warm sunshine, her smooth and tender skin is glowing, and her delicate face is wearing a sweet smile.

She smiled at Messer and Asiya, who was also wearing a khaki bikini and doing warm-up exercises.

"Is it really okay for just the three of us to go out and play?"

Makino asked Messer with a smile.

Messer chuckled and said, "There's something wrong with what you said. You came out to play with the two of us, while Asiya and I came out to practice.

We two came out for serious business.

Oh, and you should practice well too. Remember to use the ability of the Slippery Fruit to slide away all the ultraviolet rays. That way you can even save money on sunscreen."

Makino puffed up his lips and laughed angrily:
"How can you be so stingy? You can't even afford to buy me a bottle of sunscreen?"

"You bought it and brought it here. Don't you want me to apply it for you?"

As his breathing rose and fell, the domineering energy in his body circulated in an interactive cycle with the fluctuations of ice, and Messer came to Makino's side.

The biting cold spread from under the feet, and a thick layer of ice spread from the hull down to the sea surface.

Click click click.
A thick layer of ice spread out from the Little Bear.

The sea surface with a diameter of one hundred meters was frozen, and wisps of white frost rose from the ice.

"Eh! It's so cold."

Makino's mouth twitched, and he looked at Messer helplessly: "Is it too late for me to go back now?"

"It's too late. Use your ability to slide away this cold temperature. Once you slide away, you won't be cold anymore."

"Can you do that? Something like that?"

Makino was a little shocked, she had never tried this kind of operation before.

Messer said calmly: “Yes, I can testify.

You may not trust yourself, but you can trust me. In this regard, I am quite an authority."

As his feet left the ground, the ice that was stuck to the deck broke apart.

Messer picked up a roll of red carpet from the wall of the deck, jumped onto the ice, and spread it out on the ice.

Non-slip.

Heat preservation.

He looked up at Makino and said with a smile:

"Go sit on a bench on the street and fish."

"Axia, keep an eye on Makino up there. If she hooks a sea monster, don't let her pull it down."

Asiya smiled and nodded, while Makino pouted and complained:

"Who knows how to fish for kingfish?"

"Sister, are you stupid?"

Mercer said helplessly, "We are now in the Grand Line. Of course there are many sea kings in the waters here."

As Makino's red lips whispered, Messier walked to the edge of the ice, jumped up, and dived into the sea.

Plop!

There was a splash of water.

Makino looked at Asia with a smile, "I'll leave it to you then, Asia."

Asiya nodded and smiled.

Looking at the sea with anticipation, he used his Observation Haki to sense Moses' figure downwards.

Then he closed his eyes slightly, and as his breathing rose and fell, he disguised himself in harmony with the surrounding environment and concealed his figure.

Makino glanced around and saw that there was no one beside him, but he could feel the wind from his punches blowing across his skin.

Under the sea.

A film of water covers the mouth and nose.

Messi swam quickly towards the deep sea.

As we dive deeper, the environment becomes darker and the water pressure around us becomes terrifying.

His chest and abdomen rose and fell slowly, controlling the surrounding seawater and separating the liquid oxygen in the water.

The domineering energy in Messer's body is in sync with the fluctuations of the water flow, circulating back and forth in his body.

With the help of the deep sea water pressure, his body was tempered from all directions, and his observation Haki spread out. Soon, a small sea king about 30 meters long was discovered.

Messer swam over quickly, and when he got close, a sea king that looked like a cutlassfish attacked him with its serrated fangs bared and its body twisted rapidly.

The moment the two got close, Messer stepped lightly on the sea water to avoid being bitten by it. At the same time, a slap caused the rapidly flowing water to hit its eyes heavily.

Bang!

The lens first became concave, then deformed, and then it rippled like water waves and suddenly shattered, impacting the brain.

Half dead in an instant.

Messier grabbed the fish's fangs and swam towards the surface of the sea with it. After two minutes, he had swum almost a thousand meters.

Messer emerged from the sea with a splash. The ice surface was five meters away. Messer threw the sea king out, and the sea king hit the ice surface with a splash.

Crashed headfirst into the Little Bear,
Moses floated in the sea and looked at where Asiya was.

"devour."

Asiya's figure emerged, looked at Messer and nodded heavily, then walked over, held the fish's head, opened her mouth slightly, used her ability, and began to suck the vitality of the sea king.

Makino opened her mouth wide as she watched this scene.

Moses dived into the sea again.

We dived and surfaced continuously, and for lunch we caught a big deep-sea lobster.

A full fifty meters in diameter.

A pair of shrimp claws have a blue-black iron-like luster.

In Mercer's perception, there were frequency fluctuations of high-purity steel in the shrimp claws. After eating the shrimp meat, he used high-temperature flames to melt a piece of C-grade quality alloy with a radius of one meter from the shrimp claws.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Messer won twice.

evening.

After taking back the carpet and breaking the ice around the Little Bear, Messer placed a lobster with a diameter of ten meters on the deck and drove the boat towards Elegia.

Board.

Sitting on Daoyun's sofa.

Messer looked at Asiya, who was doing push-ups beside him, with her afterimage. Her brown skin was glowing with rosy light, and white steam was lingering on her body.

With super high dynamic vision, you can see that she looks a little tipsy at the moment.

The vitality is overwhelmed by food and the body can no longer accommodate it.

Perceiving.

At this moment, Asiya's body was like a furnace.

The blood is flowing at a high speed.

"Axia, if you can't digest it all, why don't you try to crystallize the purified life force outside your body?"

Upon hearing this, Asiya stopped doing push-ups and sat cross-legged on the deck, which was soaked with sweat.

He activated his ability to extract the life force that should have been permanently consumed. Unfortunately, as soon as it was extracted from the body, the life force began to dissipate into the air.

It's wasted.

Asiya blushed, turned away her eyes, and whispered:
"Lord Mercer, I can't do this operation now."

Messer's eyes moved slightly, and he walked up to Makino in surprise, holding her shoulders. As their breathing rose and fell, their breathing frequencies were synchronized and their breath fluctuations matched.

The domineering aura circulated in the two of them. In their minds, Messer said:
"Follow my lead and release the purified life force."

Under the attraction of domineering power, the lustrous light red vitality flowed into Messi's body along the domineering power. Under Messi's control, with the intervention of the body of all things, the vitality began to gather and compress in his mouth along with the restraint of domineering power.

The light red mist slowly gathered, constantly compressed and condensed, just like saliva, slowly gathering into shape.

As time passed, as they arrived at the port of Elegia, all the life force that could not be digested in Asiya's body was transferred to Messer's body.

Messi opened his eyes, his face embarrassed. This guy is like drooling.

There was a small sip of light red vitality water in his mouth.

At this time, Makino parked the Little Bear.

Waving towards the sky, Ya Dabao flew down. When Makino was about to come back, he called the landline in Ya Dabao's castle.

The time is right.

In the ripples of space.

Moses and his two companions were taken back to the castle.

laboratory.

Meser went in and went straight to Kuleha. Seeing Meser coming in a hurry, Kuleha asked in confusion:
"What is so urgent?"

"A sealed container. I need to store some saliva. No, life force water. Asiya and I made this together."

Kuleha raised an eyebrow and took out an injection. Messer took it and pulled it out of his mouth.

After a moment, Kuleha understood what Messer said and her eyes sparkled with interest:

"Interesting, I'll have to experiment with this. Maybe I can develop a healing potion using this as the core ingredient.

It just so happens that my ability of the surgery fruit allows me to perform precise operations."

Moses laughed and said:

"That's what I thought, too."
