I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 192 191. Adam! Deep Sea Dive!
The two of them came to an abandoned stone bridge. Tom looked at Messer with some uncertainty:

"May I ask you are?"

A gray mist spread over Messer's body, covering his entire body, then dissipated, returning to his original appearance.

Yamato, Eri, and Kumabo also appeared here together.

Tom was relieved when he saw it, but a bitter smile appeared on his face:

"It's you, Brother Messer. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, but I'm still a little naive. Thank you for saving my life."

Mercer looked at him and nodded with a smile, "First, I promised Shanks. Second, I've already paid the deposit. If you die, my Pele will be wasted. Third, I don't hate you.

So, after today, you will definitely become a pirate and be put on the bounty list by the World Government. Have you decided where you want to go in the future?"

Tom scratched his head helplessly, then sighed:
"I haven't been back to Fishman Island for many years. I want to go back and take a look. I have a younger brother there who is also a shipbuilder. My brother and I can help you build a ship there.

After that, the round trip will take about three months, and I will come to see you then.

Of course, if you are dissatisfied with anything, I can refund you now and pay the penalty."

"Fishman Island?" Mercer blinked and asked, "Are you planning to go there from the deep sea trench beneath the Sabaody Archipelago?"

Tom nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"Yes, that place is indeed the closest to Fishman Island. I plan to say goodbye to Iceberg and Fram and then leave."

"What's your decision then?"

Shaking his head, Tom sighed inwardly, feeling that it was indeed a bit unreasonable. Fishman Island was too far away from here. He was about to ask for a refund when he heard Mercer say:
"Let's go to Fishman Island together. I've never been there before, so let's just stop by for some fun. If we do that, can we build the boat within two months?"

"By the way, do you have a target for the material of Baoshu Adam?"

Tom looked at Mercer in surprise, then laughed happily:

"Hahahaha. I have a friend who has a piece of Adam wood that's perfect for making a boat keel, but he's been keeping it in storage because it's too expensive.

But with our relationship, I can get 190 million berries. Since you are willing to go to Fishman Island with me, why not go to the black market with me? How about it?

Mercer nodded: "Okay."

Tom smiled and said, "Now, let's go to a place first, a secret base of mine and my two disciples.

They'll probably be waiting for me there."

"Is your injury all right? I have some bandages here. Let me treat your wound first. Let's put other things off for now."

Messer laughed.

To Tom's surprise, Xiong Bao took out a luxurious medicine box from his belly. After opening it, Messer injected Tom with an antibiotic injection inside.

"Although my medical skills are not very good, I have been exposed to it since I was a child, and I know how to treat some simple injuries."

As he spoke, he used surgical tools to thread the needle, disinfected it with alcohol, and sewed up the penetrating laceration inside Tom's chest.

His fingers were deft and precise, as he stitched, he said:
"There's no anesthetic, so just bear with it. The sutures are catgut, so they won't need to be removed. Your body will absorb them over time."

Soon, the wound was sutured, and Messer applied post-traumatic healing powder around the wound, and finally wrapped it with a large bandage.

The operation was successful.

Mercer laughed and said, "Mercemen are really strong, and Mr. Tom is also very strong. Most people with such injuries would be seriously injured if not killed."

Tom wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, it hurt, but there was still admiration in his eyes:

"I didn't expect you to be such an excellent doctor."

Messer waved his hand and smiled, "Not really. I can only say that you have more theoretical knowledge. You are one of the few patients I have."

After a while.

Under Tom's guidance, after several turns, a spacious basement of 100 square meters appeared in an abandoned underground drainage pipe.

As soon as he came in, Tom's two disciples came to greet him. Seeing that Tom was not seriously injured and even his injuries had been treated, Iceberg and Fram wiped their eyes and walked to Mercer.

With a thud, the two men fell to their knees.

He supported himself with his hands and slammed his head hard onto the ground.

"I will remember your kindness forever. Thank you for saving Mr. Tom." ×2
Gray mist filled the air and transformed into arms to help them up. He smiled but said nothing more.

Tom looked at Iceberg and Fram with satisfaction. Although these two were his apprentices, they were more like sons.

"I'm getting ready to leave here and go to Fishman Island. What are you two planning to do from now on? Do you want to go out with me and hide out?"

Fram blinked and nodded without thinking, "Well, I'll go with you and stay on that Fishman Island for a while."

Bingshan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said:

"I want to stay here. There are still too many things to deal with here. Our goal of building a water city has not been fully achieved. I want to stay here and complete it."

Tom's eyes were complicated and hesitant:
"I will have a bounty on my head from now on, so if you want to stay here, you'll have to change your name.

The name Icepago is no longer acceptable."

Bingshan smiled and said, "I will go to the hospital for plastic surgery later. Bingshan is a good name, but few people know it, only you guys know it."

Tom patted his shoulder and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for getting you into trouble. Since you're planning to stay, you better be careful next time."

Bingshan shook his head and smiled, "You don't have to be like this. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today. Don't worry, I will be careful."

Moses looked at the loving father and filial son and said with a smile, "If you want plastic surgery, I'll help you."

Bingshan looked at Messer in surprise, but since he had said so, he didn't refuse and nodded:
"Then thank you in advance. If possible, I hope to be more handsome."

Fram was speechless and said, "Damn Ice, can you please have some shame?"

Tom smiled and rubbed his gray beard.

Moses also smiled.

The gray fog spread and swallowed the iceberg.

Consciousness is invested in the devouring space.

The iceberg was covered in gray fog.

He and Moses are in a state between union and non-union.

Mercer controlled the gray fog to crush the iceberg's skull and flesh, and began to reshape it.

pain! Incomparable pain!

Devour excess flesh and bones, then rub and fuse them together again to solidify.

Because only the surface is transformed.

So soon, the transformation was successful.

The gray fog dissipated, and the iceberg collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

His face has been completely changed, his features are soft and pleasing to the eye, without any trace of artificiality, and he looks extremely handsome.

Flam looked at the iceberg and then at Mercer in shock, his mouth wide open as he muttered:
"How about you make me one too? I don't want much, just a little more handsome than Dead Ice."

Tom slapped Fram on the head and said with a silent smile: "Why do you have to be so handsome? A man should be a little rough to be manly."

As he spoke, Tom looked at Mercer and laughed:
"Brother Mercer, please help me fix this too. This will make our journey much easier. I won't cause you any trouble if I stay with you."

The corners of Messer's mouth curled up. It would be a waste if he could just take the free trial product right here at his doorstep.

After a while,
Due to Mercer's prank, Fram's face is very similar to Iceberg, except that his hair color is one sky blue and the other dark blue. If he walks outside and says that he is a brother, no one will object.

As for Tom, he became very tough, changing from a sturdy, round-faced fat man to a standard human figure. Even his height decreased from more than three meters to about two and a half meters. The horned fishman features on his face became invisible, and his serrated teeth became flat teeth.

The pair of small yellow horns on the forehead moved to the sides of the head.

The whole person seemed to be more than ten years younger.

The three masters and apprentices were pointing at this and that, having a lot of fun.

After a while, Tom and his friends quietly returned to their home and took away some money and necessities from the house.

……

Eleven o'clock in the morning.

At the edge of the Water City, Iceberg looked at Tom and Flam with reluctance:

"Mr. Tom, we'll part ways now. Remember to contact my Den Den Mushi when you get to Fishman Island. I'll explain things to Ms. Kokoro later, so don't worry."

Tom nodded reluctantly and patted his shoulder.

2 p.m.

Prudin.

A Quetzalcoatl descended from the sky and landed on this small, lawless island west of the Water City.

The island is surrounded by a ground made of driftwood from shipwrecks.

This is a trade market, a black market, and a secret place for selling stolen goods, and Tom's good friend is also here.

The five Mercers were all wearing black hooded cloaks and masks, hiding their figures and faces.

The architectural layout of this market is in the form of concentric circles, with six floors from the outside to the inside, and eight roads leading to the center.

Led by Tom, they went from the inside to a corner of the second floor and came to a wooden building surrounded by a wide fence.

People come and go in the fence.

But the most eye-catching thing was an old man with a worn face lying in a rocking chair outside the house, holding the latest issue of a photo album in his hands and a magnifying glass, looking very serious in his study.

Tom felt nostalgic when he saw this scene. He walked to the old man under the gaze of the people around him and said with a smile:

"Hahahaha. Mole, I'm here to get your big treasure."

The old man shuddered at the sudden, familiar laughter, and the photo album in his hand fell to the ground. A beautiful bikini-clad woman appeared before his eyes, hidden by a shred of white clothing.

Tom chuckled when he saw this scene:
"Your hobby hasn't changed."

The old man looked up at Tom in frustration. The next moment, his face froze in disbelief. "Tom? Why are you like this?"

"It's me, stop talking nonsense, I'm here to get Adam."

Tom said something else, then turned and motioned for Flam to bring the suitcase.

After a while.

Moses and his companions came to the backyard and saw a log over 70 meters long and 10 meters thick placed casually in an open space.

Although it is placed casually, you can still see that it is maintained very carefully.

Messer reached out and touched it, and a unique tough texture emerged in his perception.

As expected, it’s Adam Wood.

Moreover, after the ship is completed, Messier can place it in the devouring space and continue to strengthen it by fusing other materials.

It’s exciting just thinking about it.

Looking at the Mole arguing with Tom about the price, Mercer smiled.

After a while, Tom came over triumphantly, patted Adam Wood, and looked at Mercer with joy in his eyes:

"This Adam treasure is ours now. Have you figured out how to transport it?"

Messer smiled and said, "Just leave it to me."

With his right hand opened, gray mist emerged and coiled around the Adam wood like a spirit snake. In a breath, the gray mist enveloped the entire wood.

Then the mist quickly gathered back, and the entire piece of Adam wood was absorbed into the devouring space.

Sensing that nearly one-tenth of the space was occupied, Messer shook his head and muttered to himself:
"It seems I'll have to devour more things in the future."

Although the devouring space can grow on its own as Messiah grows, if it continues to devour various substances, it will also accelerate this process.

Every time Messier devours other substances, a portion of the extracted energy will be absorbed by the space itself to increase the size of the space. Of course, Messier can also control the degree of self-absorption of the space.

You can freely decide whether to use the swallowed things to improve yourself or to increase the size of the space.

The main thing is to do whatever you want.

Tom looked at Messer's ability in surprise and thought to himself, "What an amazing ability. Is it some kind of devil fruit ability?" Of course, if Messer didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask any further questions.

"Now that we're done, let's go. By the way, do you have anything else to do?"

Mercer looked at Tom and said.

"Hahaha. No, let's go." Tom said with a smile and nodded, then waved goodbye to his old friend the Mole.

Afterwards, Messer and his party walked around the market and were surprised to find a batch of high-quality iron ore there, which he bought for a sum of money.

I didn't find anything useful after that.

Come outside the market.

Xiong Bao transformed into a wind pterosaur, grabbed Fram with his claws, and flew into the sky with the four of them.

……

On the endless sea.

A red two-masted ship sailed on the sea.

deck.

A woman with a charming figure, wearing a red cheongsam and a beautiful face and a black Ji hairstyle was leaning on the fence.

A piece of white paper with words written on it floated in the palm of her open, white, tender left palm.

At this moment, Hancock looked at the sudden change in the direction of the paper in his palm, and his eyes became a little confused:
"Change direction again?"

In the past few years, she has been concentrating on practicing the various skills taught to her by Moses. Some time ago, she finally succeeded in practicing them all, so she thought about coming out to find him.

but.

Why does this direction keep changing?

I just ran to Alabasta a few days ago, and as soon as I got off the shore, I suddenly found that people were running towards the depths of the Grand Line again.

How is this going?

Are you avoiding me on purpose?

I couldn't stop grinding my teeth.

At this moment, an unpleasant pirate ship appeared in the field of vision, like a flamingo, and was heading towards him.

Hancock's eyebrows arched as she sensed it with her observation Haki, and she waved her hand and shouted:

"Drive the boat over here. I want to take a good look at who dares to enter my sight."

"Yes, Lady Snake!"
A group of excited little fans on the deck responded cheerfully.

Two days later.

Xiong Bao fell from a high altitude into the Yarqiman mangroves below.

It shuttled through the bubbles in the air and landed steadily on the soft green lawn below.

The entire island is made up of 79 huge Yarchiman mangroves, each with a different number high up on its trunk. Each area where a mangrove exists has towns and facilities with different functions.

People call this archipelago of 79 tree islands the "Chabaoti Archipelago."

28 number.

Stretching lazily, I sensed the situation on the island, and there was a fluctuating atmosphere everywhere.

The seeing and hearing color senses the situation inside.

One after another, not-so-pleasant images flooded into my consciousness.

An illegal zone?
"Brother Mercer, how about I buy a small boat and we go down to coat it?" Tom stretched his body. It was the first time he stayed in the sky so high for so long.

Fram was lying on the ground with his face spread out, looking like he wanted to cry but couldn't.

God knows how he spends his time except for meal times.

Mercer shook his head and asked, "Mr. Tom, how is your injury recovering? Can you go into the sea?"

Tom was a little confused, but still smiled:

"Yes, thanks to your precious medicine, my injuries have almost recovered. It's okay for me to swim in the sea. I'm a merman after all."

"Well, that's good, let's go now."

Messer turned his head to look at Yamato, Eri and the others, and the gray mist spread out, swallowing them up and taking them back into his body.

next moment.

Three pairs of eyes appeared on Messer's face one after another, from the forehead at the top to the cheeks, from top to bottom they were Yamato's, his own, Eri's, and Kumabo's eyes.

Tom couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he saw Mercer in this posture.

It's a bit scary.

Mercer moved his feet and jumped into the sea. After a few seconds, he emerged from the sea and looked at Tom:
"Come on, you lead the way and we'll swim over."

Tom's mouth twitched, and he asked with a dry laugh, "Do you have merman blood?"

Messer rolled his eyes.
"I am a pure human, not a rare race."

Tom nodded and jumped into the sea.

Swinging his arms and legs, he dived into the deep sea.

As his breathing rose and fell, the frequency of water and domineering energy interacted and circulated in his body. A layer of water film covered his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears. Messer followed Tom easily.

After a while, they arrived at a sea area a thousand meters deep. The surrounding environment became dim, but with Messer's spiritual vision, he could clearly see the scene in the sea.

Huge figures shuttled through the sea.

Various kinds of sea fish, sea beasts, and sea kings swam past not far away in the ocean.

The liquid oxygen in the deep sea was captured by Messier and inhaled into his body, and a part of it was sent into the swallowing space to prevent Fram from suffocating.

in consciousness.

"So this is what the deep sea looks like. So beautiful." Yamato's voice sounded in his consciousness.

At this moment, Eri suddenly spoke in her mind about a sea beast not far away: "Brother, do you think that's a sea dragon?"

Mercer turned around and saw a 17-meter-long creature covered with lizard-like scales. He raised his brows slightly.

"It's a Mosasaurus. I didn't expect there were dinosaurs here."

Mercer raised the corner of his mouth and swam over quickly. To Tom's surprise, he punched the Mosasaur on the head.

Bang! After a muffled sound, the water waves spread, and the whites of the Neptune's eyes turned upside down.

The gray fog spread rapidly in the sea water, enveloping and swallowing it, and a huge monster squeezed into the swallowed space.

It was quickly swallowed and "eaten" by the gray mist.

A C-grade soul crystal was extracted and was also swallowed by the gray fog.

After Mercer captured the Mosasaurus, he followed Tom into the deep sea again.
