I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 197 196. Limited Edition-Aquaman Form!
The greatest ups and downs in life are nothing more than losing and regaining.

In the huge banquet hall.

The atmosphere of joy is particularly high.

There are endless delicious sea animal meat, seafood, pastries, fruits, and drinks to eat.

But as time went by, it became obvious that the chef's speed in serving the dishes had slowed down.

Messi and Xiong Bao enjoyed this meal very much.

Neptune's cooking skills are really good, especially the soft and chewy pastries, which are soft and taste very delicious.

The Neptune family stared in amazement at Mercer and Xiong Bao, who were oblivious to the surroundings and kept silent, concentrating their attention solely on their meal.

The food was eaten quickly but without any rudeness.

Instead, it gives people a pleasing feeling.

As long as they don't speak, they will never waste a single ounce of saliva.

It was as if the hustle and bustle in the banquet hall had nothing to do with them, and the rest of the things here could not attract them at all.

Do not,
Instead, he was attracted by the beautiful girl with white gradient hair and dark red hair.

Watching Messier feeding the two girls beside him from time to time, she would look up at his topic and then finish the conversation in a few words.

Neptune's face was filled with black lines.

Otohime had to smooth things over with a wry smile, because she also noticed that her chef's efficiency in serving dishes had slowed down.

We had to send people to the Fishman Island below to urgently purchase a batch of delicious food.

"Well, Mr. Mercer, don't rush to eat. What do you think about today's events?"

"A lot of things happened today. Can you first tell me what specific incident you are referring to?"

Otohime said helplessly, "As a human, do you think it's feasible for us fishmen to coexist peacefully with humans?"

This was the fundamental reason why Otohime wanted to see Messer before.

She wanted to know what ordinary humans really thought.

Hearing her words, Moses was speechless. He felt that she was desperate and trying everything to save her life, like a drowning person looking for a life-saving straw.

Was it because of the assassination attempt by one of my own people today? My confidence was shaken.

Moses was silent for a while.

Seeing that Moses didn't speak, the atmosphere in the banquet hall gradually became quiet. The Neptune family, Jinbe, and the two ministers on his left and right all fell silent.

Even Bai Xing, the youngest one who lived not far from Messer and the others, felt that the atmosphere here had changed and became cautious.

Meser sighed, and seeing that Meser seemed to be about to speak, Yiji's eyes fixed.

next moment.

"I think you've made a mistake. I'm just an ordinary human being, unknown in the ocean. My personal opinions don't represent the collective of humanity.

My personal opinion is not important at all. As for coexisting with humans in a friendly manner?

If I remember correctly, there should still be quite a few hybrids of humans and merfolk in this world, right?

I guess this is what coexistence is?

As for friendship? That idea is too empty and too broad, because you can't even distinguish the most basic subject and predicate."

Moses stopped talking here, feeling speechless.

Otohime's face was silent for a few seconds, and then she asked:

"I understand the first part, but could you explain the last part to me more clearly? We have already obtained the signed consent form from the world's nobles, the Celestial Dragons, for us to move to the land."

Exhaling, Messer took a sip of wine and glanced at Yiji:
"You're nothing but a dreamer, aren't you? I see you don't understand the humans on Earth at all. The Celestial Dragons' consent letter is worthless; it's like a piece of waste paper.

Well, that’s not the case. It does have some uses, and that is that it can make some of your actions reasonable and legal.

After all, the current ruler of the ocean is the World Government.

Here's a little suggestion for you: ask the blue guy over there to go out on the ocean and buy you some history books from various countries.

Or you could ask him to take you on a tour of the various kingdoms on earth. After you've seen more, you'll probably understand more."

Having said that, he no longer paid attention to Otohime's confused and thoughtful expression.

Because her idea is totally unrealistic.

Friendship between countries.

It is maintained by fists and interests.

As for friendship with all races.

It was too big and too empty, and even Moses couldn't understand it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at his fist.

barbarian.

Seeing that Moses was silent.

The banquet scene suddenly became silent.

Messi was also speechless. They were eating, why were they talking about these heavy topics that would affect the atmosphere?

Can’t we just talk about which store has the cutest mermaid?

Which restaurant’s specialty food is delicious?

Neptune saw the atmosphere in the banquet hall and felt helpless. He raised his glass and said:

"Mr. Mercer, thank you again for saving my beloved wife. Let's have a drink."

Moses was speechless. He had said this at least five times.

Seeing Neptune like this, other people in the venue responded one after another, trying to improve the atmosphere in the banquet hall.

Mercer smiled and raised his glass, clinking it with him in the air.

You have to give me this little bit of face.

The delicious food is almost the same.

Messi also decided it was time to leave.

At this moment, a package with a red heart on the outside flew quickly from outside the banquet hall door, and Messer turned his head to look.

His expression couldn't help but show some confusion.

Then I saw the package fly to Shirahoshi, hit her and fell to the ground.

Bai Xing looked at the scene in confusion and swallowed the pastry in his mouth in a daze.

He picked up the package, looking at his mother Otohime with a confused expression:
"Mother. What is this?"

Otohime was also confused. She ran over and carefully opened it, and found a letter with a heart drawing on it.

After taking it apart.

After more than ten seconds, and having read it no less than three times, Yiji's eyebrows arched, her eyes filled with the kind of anger that was almost invisible on her face:

"Vander Decken IX, shameless bastard."

Seeing his beloved wife's attitude, Neptune ran over with a bewildered look on his face. After picking up the letter and reading it, he suddenly felt a surge of anger.

"Damn it, it's actually a love-making threatening letter. Damn Vander Decken, bastard, Shirahoshi is only six years old."

"Right Minister, after the banquet, go and issue a nationwide warrant for this guy. I want him thrown in jail. I want him to stay there forever. There is no forgiveness."

Hearing what they said, Messier raised his eyebrows slightly. It turned out to be that guy, a pervert who wanted to obtain the power of Poseidon.

The user of the Target Target Fruit.

Possesses the ability to mark a hit.

Quite an amazing ability.

In his perception, the power fluctuations on the package had dissipated after coming into contact with White Star.

In other words, Shirahoshi has the "coordinates" left by the user of the Target Target Fruit. Messer looked at Shirahoshi.

The little girl was a little confused at the moment and had no idea why her parents were so angry.

With the unique perception of clairvoyance, a strange "black" palm mark appeared on her left arm just above the elbow.

There is a unique fluctuation.

Messer stood up and walked over to Shirahoshi's side. He reached out and pressed the mark of the fruit ability on her left arm, sensing the existence of this power.

"mark"

The touch on his arm made Bai Xing look at Messer curiously and blinked:
"Lord Mercer? What's wrong?"

Shirahoshi's words attracted the attention of Otohime and the other girl, and they all turned their gazes towards her. Mercer looked at the little girl and chuckled softly, saying,

"Has anyone ever touched your arm like I did before? You're marked here."

Bai Xing was a little confused.

Attracted by Moses' words, everyone around looked over.

"I don't know either. No, I remember that after my mother was shot, there was chaos there, and it seemed like someone patted her arm at that time.

Then they were driven away by the soldiers.”

Hearing this, a trace of regret appeared on Otohime's face. It was because of her that her precious daughter was targeted by terrorists.

A hint of bitterness appeared on his face.

But he looked at Moses expectantly and said:
"Mr. Mercer, since you can discover the invisible mark, do you have any way to eliminate it?"

Mercer said calmly, "It's a type of Devil Fruit ability that can be cleared through Armament Haki or Domination Haki."

At this time, Jinbei walked over and looked at Messer in surprise, "I remember that only I can use my own Haki to expel the effects of the Devil Fruit that was bestowed on me by others.

And the strength of domineering power must reach a certain standard.

But Princess Shirahoshi isn't domineering, so it seems the only way to solve the problem is to find the criminal."

Moses looked at him as if he were a fool.

Jinbei's forehead bulged with veins, and he couldn't help but grind his sharp teeth. "What are you looking at? I'm not stupid."

Mercer nodded and said lightly:
"It seems he has some self-awareness."

Then he looked at Otohime and Shirahoshi.

"You've been in frequent contact with both of them, haven't you noticed that they're both born with the ability to awaken their Observation Haki?"

"And both mother and daughter are top-notch."

Look at White Star.

"Identification"

[Sea King (EX)]: An ancient power inherited in the blood. The awakened one has the ability to communicate with, guide and control marine life, and is the darling of the sea.

Jinbei looked at Otohime with a confused look in his eyes, "Otohime-sama, do you possess Observation Haki?"

Otohime's expression became a little strange, she blinked and nodded:
"So that power is called observation and hearing color."

Messer looked at Yiji pretending to be crazy and stupid, and sure enough, this woman was not a real naive person.

Although he is too naive, he is definitely not stupid.

After explaining, Otohime looked at Messer expectantly, "Since you can tell me so, I think there is a way to help Shirahoshi remove this devil fruit ability, right?" "If it is possible, could you please help my daughter get rid of it?"

Mercer smiled and said, “There are two solutions. One, I will exorcise her now, and two, use her as bait to catch the mastermind.

You decide.”

Otohime looked at Neptune, her eyes gradually becoming firm.

Neptune had no choice but to agree.

Yiji looked at Messer and said softly:
"Can I choose both?"

After this assassination, Otohime has clearly realized that this poisonous snake in the dark must be completely eliminated.

If it were just her, it might not matter, but this involved Shirahoshi, and she couldn't tolerate anyone secretly spying on her precious daughter.

And he's a dirty bastard.

He even wrote love letters.

Still for six-year-old White Star.

He must be put in prison forever.

Thinking of this, Otohime looked at Messer and asked, "Can you help Shirahoshi remove the mark on her body first? Then we can think of a way to lure that bastard out."

Mercer nodded and said with a smile:
"Well, there's one condition. After you fish that guy out, I'll take care of him."

Otohime hesitated when she thought of Mercer's tactics, but Neptune then spoke and made the final decision:
"Yes, he's a pirate."

Messer smiled. As expected, when it came to matters concerning Shirahoshi, the couple would be very decisive.

Maybe it is because we almost lost it that we cherish it more.

Mercer is quite interested in the fruit ability of Vander Decken IX, and he also has a good experiment that he wants to verify.

If I succeed, then some of my ideas will be better realized in the future.

"Give me your hand."

Messer looked at Shirahoshi and held out his hand.

Bai Xing looked at Messier curiously, glanced at his parents, and then handed his index finger to Messier.

Looking at the index finger in front of him, which was only slightly thinner than his wrist, the corner of Messer's eye twitched. Yamato, who was following him, blinked and began to shrug his shoulders.

"Hahaha, Messer, you feel like you've become smaller when you're with Shirahoshi."

Hearing Yamato's cheerful laughter, everyone's mouth corners curled up.

Rolling his eyes at her, Mercer smiled and said:
"You really deserve a beating~"

"Lord Mercer?"

Bai Xing placed her chubby index finger on Messer's palm with a puzzled expression.

He sighed and held her index finger.

"Next, I will merge you and myself into one, just like Xiong Bao and your mother at the square, so don't be afraid."

Bai Xing blinked, a little curious:
"Master Mercer, are you going to eat White Star?"

"Yeah, almost."

The next second, gray mist burst out from Messer's body and swallowed Bai Xing. Black mist wrapped around his whole body, and his soul and body became one as his breathing rose and fell.

Then the gray fog dissipated.

Moses's size had changed, becoming about six meters tall.

The facial lines became neutral and beautiful, between maturity and tenderness, and the soft waist-length black hair was interspersed with strands of pink hair.

There was no change in the upper body, except that the waist and abdomen were wrapped in gray mist, while the lower body turned into a slender and strong crimson fish tail.

Outwardly, he appears male.

The whole person was sitting on the gray mist that condensed into clouds floating in the air.

There was a mysterious gleam in his blue-black eyes.

In the synchronization of consciousness, Shirahoshi could also feel the changes in her body, and asked curiously in her consciousness:

"Lord Mercer, I feel like I'm very strong right now. Is that the feeling of being strong?"

"Well, I can easily knock your father down with one punch."

"Let's not do that. My father loves me the most. By the way, Lord Mercer, I'm a little curious about what we look like now. Can you let me see it?"

Messer and Shirahoshi communicated in their consciousness.

Everyone in the Dragon Palace City outside opened and closed their mouths silently, their eyes bulging out, with expressions of extreme shock.

"This, this, this is too handsome, right?"

This is what a left minister said.

"What's going on? Mother's appearance back then is completely different from what it is now?" A certain Shark Star prince whispered.

Xiong Bao blinked, grinned, took out the camera phone from his mouth, and started taking pictures quickly.

This is a great thing, a photo that must be kept forever.

Yamato came over curiously at this time, reached out and touched Messer's crimson fish tail, and said with a grin:

"Messer, your tail is so textured. It's much more comfortable to touch than the black cat form."

Messer's eyes moved slightly, and the domain expanded. With a click, an ice mirror with a diameter of ten meters condensed in front of him, looking at his current image.

Shirahoshi exclaimed in her consciousness, "Wow~" "So beautiful, is this me? Master Mercer, is this true?"

Mercer chuckled and said, "This is our fusion state. Pretty cool."

With their minds connected, Messer raised his left arm. In his spiritual vision, he saw a mark there. Messer saw it, and Shirahoshi saw it too. He said unhappily:

"Is this the mark you just mentioned, Master Moses? It's so ugly, so awful."

Messer stared at the ice mirror, and Shirahoshi looked at his new image curiously in his consciousness.

As his breathing rose and fell, he felt the unique body he now had after merging with Shirahoshi, and unique messages flowed through his consciousness.

He sensed a unique power, and Shirahoshi also sensed it.

In the fusion state, Messer instinctively learned how to use it.

The sight and hearing color spread out.

Pure thoughts and ideas flooded into my mind, and I instinctively understood the meaning of these thoughts.

"Lord Mercer, what is this?" Bai Xing asked in confusion.

Moses whispered, "The power that belongs only to you is the ability to communicate with the creatures of the sea and to guide and control their magical powers."

Bai Xing asked curiously, "What is that? It seems very interesting. Are they talking? Are they calling us?"

"Is this the power of the King?"

"What is a king? Do we still have a king?"

"Has he truly awakened? Our king has finally awakened once again."

"Foolish! You young, small fry know nothing. A king is a king, the king of us sea kings."

"Little ones, cheer for the King's arrival! Jump for joy! And obey with all your heart."

"..."

Hundreds of giant sea kings appeared in the sea outside Ryugu Palace.

There are also more than a dozen super-large sea kings.

The excited voice of the soul spread out in the sea along with invisible ripples, and huge black shadows appeared outside Fishman Island.

The spiritual vision and observation Haki spread out, and in the deep sea outside the Dragon Palace, huge sea king figures appeared.

Messer and Bai Xing clearly sensed their presence and heard the silent words coming out of their mouths.

Otohime and the others, who possessed the ability of observation, were shocked to sense powerful auras emerging from the sea outside Ryugu Castle.

"Do you want to go out and play with them? They seem really excited."

Mercer chuckled in his mind:

“Coincidentally, through this mark on our arms, we can sense a strange connection through our spiritual vision.

Let's deal with him while we're at it."

Bai Xing said timidly in his consciousness:

"Can I? They look scary."

"Don't worry, you can clearly sense them. They are harmless to us, no, to be more precise, to you."

"Then can I tell my mother and father?"

"Well, of course."

The next moment, Messer handed over the control of the speaking body to Shirahoshi.

At the same time, White Star spoke:
"Queen Mother, King Father.

They are looking for me outside, and I want to go out and meet them."

Moses' mouth twitched, he had made a mistake.

Otohime and Neptune stared at Messer in front of them in amazement, but the voice was: "Shirahoshi?"

Bai Xing nodded and said naively:

"Can I? Lord Mercer said they were attracted here by me. I want to go and see."

Otohime and Neptune looked at each other, and suddenly felt a sense of strangeness towards their daughter.

Moses took over the conversation:

"Don't worry, it won't pose any danger to Shirahoshi. Coincidentally, Vander Decken IX is also out in the ocean. I'll go over and take care of him later."

Otohime and Neptune's expressions were uncertain, and in the end they could only plead with their eyes wide open:
“You must protect Shirahoshi. Also, she is still young, don’t let her see the killing.

Okay? "

Messer nodded and looked at Yamato, Eri, and Xiong Bao, "You three stay here for now. Shirahoshi and I are going to play outside and will be back soon."

Yamato pouted and said unhappily:
"I want to go, too."

Eri looked at Messer eagerly.

Messer shook his head and said, "Be good, I'll take you out to play next time."

The sea of consciousness communicates with the spiritualized concept light point with one thought.

The body becomes spiritual.

Swinging its fish tail, it quickly flew out of the banquet hall and rushed into the sky. A few seconds later, it arrived in the sea outside the Dragon Palace City bubble.

Stand up as a mermaid and float in the sea.

as far as the eye can see.

A magnificent scene.
