I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 19. Mount Korpo on Dawn Island!

With a frown, Karp helped Ying steady herself and took the prescription from her hand.

Eyes glanced over.

His mouth twitched.
"So many medicinal herbs? Isn't this part of what I give to that woman Doriel every year?"

"Hey, Master, you know this." Mercer said in surprise, "Yes, this is a tonic prescription that can strengthen the body's foundation and replenish its essence, and can make up for the lack of Qi and blood in the body.

But the medicine is mild.

It was developed for infants and young children, and was specially developed for me by Dr. Dolly."

"We can't afford this." Ah Ying looked at a loss. "One dose of medicine costs 50,000 Baileys. One dose can only be taken twice at most, and it will take at least one or two years to be effective."

It was Mercer who thoughtfully added the cost relationship after the medicinal materials, so that Aying could understand it.

Karp sighed, feeling that he was destined to be short of money and a hard-working person.

“Aying, Slab, you know, I’m very busy and I barely have time to take care of the baby.

This time I came here because I learned from Slab that you, Ying, just had a child, so I was thinking if you could help me take care of Luffy at the same time.

It just so happens that the prescription was used by Messer. I will provide the herbs, and the price is that you help me raise Luffy.

Can you accept it? "

Ah Ying was startled, her eyes reddened uncontrollably. Slab looked at Karp and felt a little embarrassed, but gritted his teeth:
"I agree to this. Thank you, Garp. Don't worry, even if this didn't happen, with our friendship, our family won't let Luffy go hungry."

Garp breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone is happy, but your wallet will suffer.

Eh~ That’s not right. Didn’t Messer and his men just seize so many gold bars from the slave-hunting group a few days ago?
I still have my own 30%, plus the military merit from recovering the slave ship, which can also be used to exchange for supplies at the headquarters.

"Haha, I don't have to worry about that now. That money will definitely be enough."

Looking at Cap amusing himself, Mercer sighed, "Then could you prepare the herbs first?"

"I'm not staying here forever, and neither are you. We have to leave in a few days."

Garp stopped laughing and looked at Slab and Ying.

"That's right. Then I'll leave Luffy to you. I'll have someone purchase all the herbs today, and then bring Messer over tomorrow."

"Okay, then you go about your business."

Slab knew that every time Cap came back in the past few years, he would go to Mount Korpo behind, and he thought there must be something important.

With a wave of his hand, Cap took Messier away. Slab and Aying each held a baby and watched the two walk away.

"Dad, this time it's all thanks to Uncle Cap, otherwise I don't believe Arthur would be in trouble."

"Yes, I owe that old guy a huge favor again, so we have no choice but to raise little Luffy well for him."

"Well, I will raise Luffy as my own son."

……

"Master, are we going to see Ace now?"

Messer and Cap were walking down the street, "Where is he?"

Garp scratched his head awkwardly, "Go to the warship first and give the prescription to Bogart, then I'll take you to find Ace."

After a while, Garp gave the prescription to Bogart on the warship. Bogart was very happy about this, because on the way here, Garp did not punish him for teaching Messier wrongly. He was a little nervous, and now he could use this incident to "make up for it."

Ignoring Bogart's happiness, Cap just smiled and said, "Let's finish the internal affairs today. The previous things are in the past. The expenses will be paid with my commission.

Buy a hundred pairs first."

Bogart patted his chest and laughed:

"Don't worry, I'll do the job for you."

Messer smiled, picked up the bag he had packed, looked at Cap and said, "Master, let's go. I also want to see him soon."

Messi is quite curious about his younger brother whom he has not seen since birth, and he doesn't know how old he is now.

I think it’s about the same as me.

After all, they were born on the same day.

I don't know what his personality is like now.

Cap smiled and took the luggage from Messer's hand, "Let's go."

Under Bogart's watch, the two men got off the warship and went up the mountain along a small path.

……

From time to time, unknown roars could be heard in the lush jungle.

Capra led Moses into the forest. Seeing Moses looking around curiously, he smiled and said:
"How is it? Isn't it beautiful? It's completely different from Drum Island. It's not cold at all, right?"

As we went deeper into the forest, the trees around us became taller and the fragrance of grass and trees in the air became stronger.

Mercer couldn't help but relax, carefully sensing the subtle connection between himself and the natural environment.

The observation Haki fluctuated around him, sensing all kinds of aura in the forest.

Breaking free from Garp's hand, Mercer walked with Garp, his breathing rising and falling, his own breath gradually becoming different, as if gradually blending with the surrounding environment.

The whole person exudes an ethereal and peaceful atmosphere.

Cap's eyes widened, his mouth opened so wide that a balloon could fit in it, and he looked at Messi, feeling as if he was about to disappear from his sight.

The aura around him seemed to be assimilating with the surrounding environment, which was very strange.

"Devil fruit powers?"

"No, no, it's not Messer."

Moses savored the "breath" of the trees around him, controlled his own breathing, constantly approached and assimilated them, and imagined himself as a tree, a leaf, freely rooted in the earth, and growing freely and wildly.

Relax your body and let nature take its course.

Constantly align your breathing frequency and breath with the frequency perceived around you.

Keep going.

After a long time, Moses came out of that state of being in harmony with nature, retracted his observation color, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He looked at Garp beside him.

"What's wrong, Master?"

Karp blinked and looked at Messer carefully, and the feeling that he was about to disappear disappeared.

"What did you just say?"

Mercer smiled and said, "It's just an ordinary way of breathing, a way to cultivate one's body and mind."

Moses was not lying; this way of breathing evolved from breathing.

Garp was speechless. "Do you think I'm stupid? If I can breathe like you did just now, then why can't I?"

Mercer smiled and said, "That's because you are too stupid."

Cap was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and he felt his fists harden.

Just about to take action.

But he heard the words of Moses.

"Grandpa, do you want to learn? If you do, I'll teach you."

Karp's eyes widened, and he sighed, "I don't want to learn. I don't think you came up with this alone. It must have been the work of that woman Doriel."

As he and Karp continued to walk forward, Mercer looked at him in surprise:
"Yes, this is indeed a special breathing method that Doctor Doriel discovered from observing my breathing."

Karp's eyes showed understanding.

This secret breathing method can be regarded as a special inheritance, and it must have cost too much blood and sweat. So I can't just learn it from Messi casually. If I do such a thing, it would be a taboo.

Obviously, Karp is not that kind of person.

Seeing Cap's expression, Mercer understood and said with a smile:

"Although the breathing method was compiled by Doctor Doriel, I am the first in line and I have the right to teach it to others."

"Doctor Dolly wouldn't care about this kind of thing, nor would she care. I asked her, and she told me it's up to me." "As long as you can promise not to spread it to anyone, Grandpa, then I'll teach you."

Cap looked at Messer suspiciously, "Really? You're not lying to me?"

"Believe it or not, learn it or not, I'm not lying anyway. If you don't learn it, it's your loss, not mine. I'll just think of it as my kindness going unappreciated."

Garp's eyes twitched, and his teeth gnashed together with a "crackling" sound:

"Little bastard, how dare you call me a stupid ass?"

"I didn't say it, I didn't, you discovered it yourself."

"Ahhh, you bastard kid, you still say you didn't say that."

Seeing Cap jumping up and down in anger, Messier knew he couldn't say anything more, otherwise he would get beaten, which would be bad.

then.

"Master, do you want to learn?"

Messer asked again.

Karp sighed angrily, "Go ahead and learn it. I promise you, I won't tell anyone else about it without your consent."

"Well!"

The two men talked as they walked, Messer was talking and Cap was asking.

In order to teach him more conveniently, Messer also asked Garp to use his observation Haki to carefully observe his breathing rate.

As Garp understood, his breathing began to change.

From shallow to deep.

The breathing instinct of the past is slowly changing.

Messer was also using his Observation Haki to observe the changes inside Garp's body. Originally, it seemed like something was blocking it, making it difficult to observe. However, after Messer suggested it, with Garp's cooperation, everything became convenient again.

After a while,

Seeing that Cap had already mastered the breathing method, Mercer smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad, you are really smart."

Garp's face suddenly lit up with smiles, and he patted his chest with laughter:

"Of course I'm telling you. Don't you see who I am? If I can be your grandfather, how can I be any worse?"

Mercer looked at Karp with a strange expression and said lightly, "Shameless."

With the control over his body after the return of his life, he looked down from a high vantage point and actually said that he was smart. I was just talking, but he agreed to it. How shameless.

Karp's face twitched.

Just pretend you didn't hear.

At this time, Moses asked, "Master, why was it so difficult for my observation Haki to penetrate your body just now? Something was resisting. What was that?"

Sure enough, the next moment Cap said:

"Hey ha~, do you want to know? Then let me tell you, it's also a kind of Haki. That kind of Haki is called Armament Haki. It can be used as invisible armor and can also resist the invasion of foreign objects."

"Isn't it awesome?"

Mercer nodded.

"Well, it's amazing, but how can we stimulate it?"

Cap glanced at Messer and rubbed his chin. "You're still a little immature. Arousing yourself too early won't be good for your health. Wait a few years."

"Is it bad for the body?" Mercer asked curiously. "Is it related to life force? Or perhaps it's one's own vitality, qi and blood?"

Cap's face froze, and he looked at Messer helplessly, "Did Doriel tell you that? That woman says everything.

That's right, but don't deliberately activate your Armament Haki right now; it won't do you any good."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Look, we're here."

The two had just climbed over a hill when Cap pointed to a wooden building at the end of a path.

"That's it."

The surrounding forest is lush and green. It is a wooden house built on a flat land on the mountainside, hidden in the mountains.

Walking down the path, Mercer activated his observation Haki to sense the past. Garp raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything.

"There are quite a few of them." Mercer raised his eyebrows. "Sir, what are they?"

Garp's eye twitched, and he sighed, "You'll know in a moment. Let me be clear, although those guys have a bad reputation, the boss, Dadan, is a good man."

Messer closed his eyes slightly. Dadan knew that she was a woman who would risk her life for Ace.

An old woman who raised Ace.

A good person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Garp felt a little embarrassed, after all, he was being raised by bandits, but he didn't say anything else.

The two men arrived at the door of the building, and the next second, Cap started banging on the door.

A long series of noises occurred.

Looking at the dust falling from the crack of the door, Messer always felt that the door was about to collapse.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from inside the house, followed by a roar.

"Who is it?! Are you going to die?! Can't you knock on the door properly?"

"Crench!"

The door is opened,

An older woman with orange hair draped over her waist poked her head out, a cigarette dangling from her lips. When she saw the person coming, her eyes suddenly widened.

"Kapp, no, Mr. Karp?"

He backed away as if he had seen a flood or a beast. "Why are you here? Are you looking for Ace again?"

Garp said cheerfully, "You look quite energetic, Dadan?"

Dadan looked frustrated:

"Are you kidding me? Where's the spirit? That brat Ace was making a lot of noise last night."

"Really? Hahaha, Ace is so energetic. It seems you guys took good care of that guy."

Dadan looked helpless and heartbroken: "That little brat is hard to control now. He is as strong as an adult and is also very naughty.

Otherwise, you can take him away. My small temple cannot stand his disturbance."

Moses watched them chatting, and walked past Dadan calmly and went inside.

When Dadan saw Messer, his eyes bulged and he stammered, "Kakaka, Mr. Karp, who is this kid?
Why does he look a bit like Ace? Could he be him? "

Garp smiled and said, "His name is Messer, my grandson, Ace's twin brother."

Dadan's vision went dark, and his mouth twitched: "Then you brought him here?"

No, please don't, please don't let me raise another one. One Ace is enough for me to bear. If there is another one, I will really die.

Karp: "Don't worry, you don't need to raise this one. He has someone else to raise him."

Dadan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, with a look of exhaustion on his face.

Entered the house,
Messer looked at the layout inside: the smooth wooden floor, the spacious interior, and several compartments separated by blue curtains.

There is a fire pit on the ground to the left, with an iron chain hanging in the air and a kettle hanging in the air.

At this moment, it is being roasted by the charcoal fire in the fire pit.

At this time, the sound of "thumping" footsteps was heard, and Messer turned his head to look.

The sound came from the stairs leading to the upstairs compartment.

then.

A little boy with black hair and about one meter tall walked down.
