I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 199 198. Research on the power of devil fruits!
After realizing that his consciousness had been reconnected with Messer's and that he could see the deep sea environment outside, Bai Xing said blankly:
"Master Mercer, are we out of there yet? Is this done? Where's that Master Vanderdecken?"

"Don't ask questions, kids." Mercer said lightly.

Bai Xing replied softly, "Oh."

He felt a little aggrieved, but not too much. In the blink of an eye, he was attracted by the deep sea environment passing by outside and said happily:

"Master Mercer, where are we going now? I heard the sea is beautiful. There are forests and amazing land animals."

Mercer listened to the hint full of desire and smiled: "Don't tell your parents, this is a secret."

Bai Xing was a little confused, and then he realized that the two of them were rapidly moving upwards. After a few seconds, he nodded cautiously and said:
"Are we heading towards the sea?"

"Isn't this what you asked for?" Mercer smiled faintly as he displayed his Observation Haki.

"Hey! Is it really possible?"

Bai Xing watched the scenery around him pass by.

He sped through an underwater tunnel, the sea above becoming brighter and brighter. After about ten minutes, with a splash, he leaped out of the water, drawing a graceful arc in the air. The splashes of water reflected on his crimson tail, appearing incredibly beautiful.

thump!
Falling from mid-air into the water.

Wow!

With his upper body floating on the water and looking at the surrounding scenery, Bai Xing exclaimed in his mind:

"It's the endless blue sky, the vast sea, and those trees and islands over there? So beautiful."

Feeling the excitement in his consciousness, Mercer swam towards the island over there.

That place is none other than the Chabao Archipelago.

Like a black shadow, it flashed by under the sea, its tail split into two legs, and it sensed with its sight and hearing Haki, shuttling through the rivers among the archipelago.

Island No. 40.

Commercial street.

Gray fog spread.

In a deserted corner.

White Star appeared outside.

Standing barefoot on the green lawn, looking around curiously, with a cloak wrapped around his waist and his legs already separated.

Looking at the bubbles that occasionally popped up from the lawn, he reached out and popped one: "Master Mercer, is this the legendary Bubble Islands?"

Looking at the little girl playing happily, Messier nodded and said:
"Yes, this is the Sabaody Archipelago, located ten thousand meters above Fishman Island. This is the land you mentioned."

"It's so beautiful, completely different from Fishman Island, and there are so many different atmospheres here. Can I go inside and take a look?"

Seeing and hearing?

He reached out and patted Bai Xing's arm, smiling and said, "Okay, come with me."

The two walked on the lawn and after a few minutes, they came to the main entrance from behind a building, which was a women's clothing store.

Bai Xing asked curiously, "Master Messer?"

"You don't want to walk around here barefoot, do you? Even though it's all grass, won't your feet feel uncomfortable?"

Bai Xing looked at his feet, moved his toes, and laughed.

The two walked into the clothing store.

"welcome!"

Messer looked at the various beautiful clothes inside. Bai Xing stood beside Messer, her legs pressed together, her toes rubbing against each other, and she looked a little nervous:
"Lord Mercer."

The female shop owner came up and looked at Shirahoshi in amazement, "What a cute little sister."

Then he looked at Messer and asked, "Are you planning to buy clothes for this little sister?"

"A dress that fits her body and a pair of sandals, that's it. The best fabric, comfortable."

Soon, the shop owner took Bai Xing to the changing room to change clothes.

But when he came out, his expression looked a little strange.

A water blue suspender dress with beautiful water patterns on it and a pair of open-toed sandals.

Seeing Messier, Bai Xing rubbed her legs awkwardly, looking very uncomfortable, and opened her mouth.

Messer reached out and interrupted her, "No, you have to wear panties."

Bai Xing nodded aggrievedly.

After paying the money, take Bai Xing away from here.

The shop owner looked at Messer's back with a strange expression and whispered:
"It's hard for you, little brother. Your sister is so cute, but she's a fool. She fantasizes about being a mermaid princess. Alas! Although she's big, she doesn't have any brains."

On the street, Bai Xing held Messer's hand tightly, lowered his head and apologized softly:
"I'm sorry, Lord Mercer, I was wrong. I shouldn't have revealed my identity as a merman princess."

Mercer sighed, “Remember, Shirahoshi, this island is not friendly to the fishmen.

You are still young and don’t understand, but you will understand when you grow up.”

Bai Xing looked at the little Messier beside him and nodded weakly.

"But since we're here, let's go shopping."

Bai Xing said excitedly: "Yeah."

After this period of adaptation, Bai Xing also got used to walking on his legs.

The two were walking on the street.

Buy some special snacks from time to time.

In a high-end grocery store.

Moses paid the money and collected a batch of materials.

Bai Xing asked curiously, "Master Messer, what are you going to use these materials for?"

"These are the materials for making life cards. I have some interesting ideas that I want to realize, and I need these materials to support them."

"Life Card, what is that?"

Curious baby White Star is online.

After a brief explanation, Bai Xing blinked and said, "Can you make one for me? We can exchange life cards so that we can meet each other no matter where we are in the future."

smiled.

Messier took out two sets of life card materials, cut his nails, and quickly made the life cards.

Looking at the two life cards in his hand.

The big one with a corner missing was his, and there was a small one with Messer's name written on it. Bai Xing held it happily in his hand.

Then put it close to your body.

……

Carousel, roller coaster, Ferris wheel, bumper cars, pendulum
Leaving the amusement park gate, Bai Xing blinked and looked back every few steps. Reluctantly, he whispered to Messer:

"Master Mercer, can you bring me here to play again in the future?"

Mercer shook his head and smiled:

"There will be a chance."

"Then let's make a pinky promise?" Bai Xing blinked and looked at Messer, "Agreement."

Moses chuckled and said:
"Yeah, Lagou."

Two little fingers, one big and one small, hooked together.

Bai Xing's eyes were full of longing.

"Huh? Is that a pirate bounty?" Shirahoshi saw the pirate bounty posted on the wall outside the amusement park.

"That's Jinbe-sama's fishman, Tom? A bounty of 110 million, captured alive only? Look at that, Master Mercer, is that the black catman? Look closely, Garfield, a bounty of 100 million berries, for attacking a World Government official, dead or alive.

So scary.”

Messer looked at his bounty with subtle eyes. One hundred million berries in one go, which was even more awesome than Robin back then.

He glanced at Bai Xing, rolled his eyes, and walked over to take down the bounty orders for himself and Tom.

I didn't expect that just a few days later, the bounty order would actually appear.

I didn’t see any icebergs in Fram, so I guess he’s not guilty.

I looked at the sky outside. It was getting darker, and the orange sun and fiery clouds appeared in the distant horizon.

Extraordinarily beautiful.

Noticing Messer's gaze, Bai Xing looked up, her eyes shining like little stars.

Gray fog spread.

Fusion.

Spiritualization.

Messer's figure soared into the sky, and a few seconds later, he arrived at the top of the huge crown of the Yarqiman mangrove tree.

With a blanket spread out beneath them, the two sat in the treetops.

Bai Xing has changed back into her white dress with flowing ribbons, happily swinging her pink fishtail, her eyes full of light as she looks at the beautiful sunset in the sky.

"You won't see such beautiful scenery on Fishman Island, Lord Mercer. I will protect the secret between us. I won't tell my mother, my father, or the others about what happened today."

Shirahoshi said to Messer with a bright smile.

Mercer smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you say it or not. Just say it if you want to. Anyway, we're done playing and will be going back soon. It doesn't matter if they know."

Bai Xing blinked and shook his head decisively: "A promise is a promise, Bai Xing will abide by it. We made a promise."

Moses had reason to believe that the girl was reminding him.

smiled.

……

A six-meter-tall mermaid swam quickly through the deep sea.

After a while, I looked at the hazy Fishman Island below.

Messer adjusted his direction, transformed into a spirit, passed through the double-layer bubble membrane at the top of the Dragon Palace City, and landed steadily in the banquet hall.

The spirit form was released and the gray fog spread.

Bai Xing's body separated, blinked, looked at the clothing bag in his hand, and hid behind him calmly.

Looking at the somewhat quiet atmosphere in the banquet hall, Yamato pouted with an unhappy look on his face: "You're so slow, why did you just come back? I thought you ran away."

Messer said speechlessly, "Don't worry, if I run away, I will definitely take Eiry with me." As soon as he said that, Eiry, who came forward, suddenly smiled and happily hugged Messer's arm, looking up at Messer:
"Brother, the party here is going on until evening. Can we leave now? It's not as interesting down here as it is down there."

Rubbing the little girl's head, Messer smiled and said, "No problem, I'll listen to you."

Then he looked at the Neptunes and their husbands:
"I've already dealt with Vander Decken IX, and I've brought Shirahoshi back to you safely. The banquet is over, so it's time for us to leave."

Neptune breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing his beloved daughter intact, the uneasiness that had gradually grown in his heart as time passed also disappeared. At this moment, he heard Moses' words and smiled to persuade him to stay:

"It's getting late. Why don't you stay with us tonight, Mr. Mercer?"

Shirahoshi was reluctant to hear that Mercer was leaving, but her eyes lit up when she heard Neptune's words:
"Lord Mercer?"

He shook his head and smiled, "No, I won't stay and bother you."

The light in Bai Xing's eyes dimmed, and then he whispered, "Oh. Then where should I go to find you tomorrow?"

Moses was puzzled: "Why are you looking for me?"

Bai Xing asked blankly, "Will you teach me how to practice?"

Moses: “Didn’t I teach you all?”

Bai Xing looked at Messer dumbfoundedly and said aggrievedly:

"Don't you want to see Shirahoshi?"

"Ha, I won't tease you anymore. I'll be in the Sea Forest of Fishman Island soon. If you want to come, you can always find me."

Bai Xing breathed a sigh of relief: "Yeah."

Yamato walked over and looked at the two of them, then approached Messer, blinking and grinning.
"When did your relationship become so good?"

Mercer glanced at her and pinched her cheek.

He glanced at Neptune and said with a smile:
"Then we'll go. We'll talk again when we have time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gray fog spread out.

It swallowed Yamato, Eri, and Kumabo, transformed into a spirit, traveled through Ryugu Castle, and arrived high in the sky above Fishman Island.

Fly towards the coral hill below.

The gray fog dissipated, and Moses and his men disappeared without a trace.

Neptune's eye twitched. His own defenses were useless against this man.

He couldn't help but sigh. Having seen the vastness of the ocean, he knew very well that some monsters in the sea could not be viewed with common sense.

At the same time, he also realized one thing, that is, this mysterious Mr. Messer was someone he could not afford to offend.

Looking at his precious daughter, Neptune was about to speak when Shirahoshi spoke in advance:
"Father, I'm tired. I'm going back to rest. Goodbye."

As he said this, he turned around and swam out of the banquet hall.

Neptune stared at Shirahoshi running away in amazement, then turned back to look at Otohime.

"What's this, Shirahoshi?"

Yiji was also bewildered and said hesitantly:

"How about I go over and take a look?"

Neptune nodded hesitantly.

The couple looked at each other and could see the worry in each other's eyes.

In a conch hotel.

Mercer looked at the three of them and smiled:
"I'm going out to do something, you guys take a rest first."

Yamato complained speechlessly:
"You're leaving again just after coming back?"

Mercer rolled his eyes at her, "It's business. Don't worry, I'll be back soon. I won't leave you here. You housekeeper."

Yamato's mouth twitched, he rolled his eyes and complained:

"Who is your housekeeper? Isn't Robin our housekeeper?"

Moses turned into a spirit, left the hotel, bought a bag of fruit on the street, and then came to the coral jungle outside.

Sitting cross-legged on a coral reef.

His consciousness was absorbed into the devouring space, and looking at Vander Decken IX, who had not yet woken up, the gray mist spread and transformed into a gray palm, which pinched his neck and snapped, sending him to the west.

The soul crystal emerges.

In the perception of spiritual vision.

After a few seconds, a strange frequency fluctuation emanated from his body. It was the power of the devil fruit, the Target Fruit.

In the gray fog, an invisible existence wave constantly fluctuated in the space, but it was unable to escape from the devouring space.

Like a headless fly, I have completely lost my direction.

Messer's mind moved slightly, controlling the gray fog to begin absorbing the power of the devil fruit, to see if he could extract the essence of the concept of the devil fruit power.

Gray fog enveloped it and swallowed it.

After a few minutes, after trying various methods, Messer shook his head somewhat predictably. He couldn't say he was disappointed, but it seemed that it wasn't working at the moment. The gray fog could capture it and imprison it, but it couldn't refine it.

Is it of the same quality as the gray fog in terms of the essence of existence?
This is the only way to understand it at the moment.

No more wasted effort.

Looking at a fruit in the devouring space, the gray mist wrapped around it and pressed it down. Due to the strong dependence of the power of the devil fruit on the fruit, a devil fruit appeared.

Target fruit.

"Identification"

[Parahuman Target Fruit (A)]

[The presence of an item with legendary properties has been detected.]

【Merits can be plundered.】

There was a thoughtful look in Messer's eyes.

Looking at the small pile of historical text essence in the corner of the devouring space, the gray fog pulled out a part of it.

Aggregation and shaping.

An iron-gray ring appeared.

With a slight movement of his mind, the gray mist swallowed the devil fruit, and the power of the devil fruit manifested again.

The gray mist enveloped the power of the devil fruit and pressed towards the ring.

A sense of repulsion emerged.

However, as time passed, the power of the devil fruit could no longer be resisted, and he had no choice but to merge it with the ring.

Mysterious "Tangcao"-like spiral patterns appear on the surface of the iron-gray ring.

The appearance suddenly becomes better.

As the gray fog spread, Messer took out the target ring and started playing with it.

It just looks good in appearance, but you don't get the feeling that you can use the power of the fruit just by holding it in your hand.

Frowning slightly.

As his breathing rose and fell, he could sense the frequency fluctuations emitted by the ring in his hand. He could sense the frequency fluctuations of the power of the devil fruit, but there was a feeling of silence and difficulty in mobilizing it.

"Perhaps this is why only animal-type devil fruits can fuse with objects, transforming into living creatures and using their own abilities.

Among the animal-type devil fruits, there should be a more active alien factor that can support the life of objects.

This is probably why the jailers in Advance City who failed to awaken lost their human consciousness and turned into jailer beasts."

With something in mind, Messer took back the target ring. The gray mist spread and decomposed the ring again, separating the power of the devil fruit from the essence of the historical text.

The disadvantage lies in the material.

In life.

Messer directed his gaze to a location in the corner of the Devouring Space, where there was a pile of materials for making life cards.

The Life Card is a creation that has a unique connection with the life state of living things.

A magical creation that can reflect one's life status in real time.

The gray mist swallowed and fused the materials in proportion, refining a ball of essence. The soul and body merged into one, controlling the rapid growth of the fingernails, which continued to separate and fuse into the essence of the life card.

A mass of white, sticky substance appeared.

"Identification"

[Life** (C)]: A unique creation that can constantly reflect your own life state and has a deep sense of connection with you.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, then manipulated and merged the paste-like essence of the historical text with the sticky substance of the life card.

In the spiritual vision, using forging techniques, he adjusted the spirituality and veins within the material, allowing the two materials to fully penetrate each other, fuse and shape. Finally, an iron-gray ring with white lines appeared.

"Identification"

[Life Ring (B)]: A unique creation, a magical item with super hardness and toughness that can represent one's life state. It has a deep life connection with the person. When the person dies, the Life Ring shatters.

Nima!

The corners of Messer's mouth twitched violently, and he made this thing.

Why does it look so much like something called a soul lamp in some worlds?

But will this succeed?
Messier held the ring in his hand and could sense that it had a unique and close connection with him, and there was also a breath frequency fluctuation that belonged to him alone on the ring.

Messer controlled the gray mist and pressed the power of the devil fruit into the life ring. This time, surprisingly, the power of the devil fruit did not resist much.

It blends in very smoothly.

It's like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman.

Soon, mysterious and complex spiral "Tangcao" patterns appeared on the life ring again.

Exquisite, mysterious, and full of a unique texture of life.

Holding it in the hand, a warm feeling of harmony emerged, and at the same time, a message unique to the devil fruit's ability appeared in the mind.

"Identification"

[Life Demon Ring (A)]: A magical Devil Fruit creation. As you have a deep connection with this unique creation, you can freely use the ability of the Target Fruit possessed by the creation.

Oh, special weapons?

Explanation, my own weapon.

The corners of Messer's mouth rose slightly.
