I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 21 021. Fishermen often come back empty-handed!
Sure enough, I was right. If I want to deal with Ace, I have to use you.

clap clap clap!
Garp stretched out his hands and clapped them together, attracting the attention of the people in the room.

"Okay, this matter is over. You guys can do what you need to do."

It's easy for you to say that. You are a big shot and you don't care, but how can we ordinary people not care?

The table in my heart has been overturned more than once.

Dadan and his two henchmen looked as if their rage was completely ignited.

Moses put his hand to his forehead and said:
"It actually has nothing to do with you. After so many years, you just need to continue living your life as before."

Having said that, once they know it, they know it, unless their memory is erased.

Messier glared at Karp, speechless. How could he be so careless?

"Master, are we staying here tonight?"

Messer asked.

Karp thought about it and scratched his head:

"Stay here. Tomorrow, after breakfast, we'll go treat Slab's grandson. Stay a few days longer, and then I'll take you back to Drum Island."

Mercer nodded.

At this time,

Seeing Ace's stunned expression, Mercer immediately smiled and said, "Why? Can't bear to leave me?
Then do you want to go to Drum Island with me?"

Hearing this, Dadan in the field shuddered, raised his head and looked over calmly, but did not say anything.

I feel a little reluctant, but I also have a desire to escape.

Ace looked around and said in silence:
"Forget it, I'm here. Our identities are there. If we stay together and get caught later, we'll all be caught together.

Besides, I feel pretty comfortable here.”

Messer looked at Ace in surprise: "No, brother, are you so smart?"

Hearing this, Ai suddenly became furious: "Who are you looking down on? Do you think I'm a child? You're asking for a beating."

That’s right, if you calculate their real age, including the time they spent in their mother’s womb, they are almost five years old.

The filial son on the next-door set was already thinking about the meaning of life when he was five years old.

Ace is smarter and more thoughtful now, so it's not unacceptable.

"Well then, when grandpa comes back here, I'll come over to see you more often."

"Who asked you to come over and see? You were only born a few seconds earlier than me, and you really think you're the big brother."

Messer smiled and didn't take Ace's words seriously at all. He thought that he should just listen to what the arrogant and weird kid said.

At this time, a "katakata" sound was heard. Mercer looked up and saw a short and fat bandit with a cloth wrapped on his head.

Dogula.

Dadan's deputy.

His background in the original timeline is unknown, but he seems to be a good person with a story?
Well, good for Ace.

Mercer moved closer and watched him prying a lock with a thin piece of iron, which he successfully opened with just a few clicks.

"Not bad, you're quite good at it. It's quite fun. Can you teach me?"

unlock.

Dogula was startled by Messer's sudden voice.

I just heard such a shocking secret, and now I finally used the lock-picking technique to divert my attention, but I didn't expect to be scared to death.

But seeing the curiosity in Moses' eyes, Dogula also became proud:
"No, I won't teach you. This is inherited from my ancestors. I won't pass it on to anyone else."

Hearing this, Messer smiled, took out his wallet from his shoulder bag, and pulled out ten thousand-yuan bills.

"Skull Yukichi, one hundred thousand berries. If you want to teach me, this is the tuition fee."

Suddenly, Dogula stopped talking. One hundred thousand berries was almost a month's income for an average family. If he had it, he could at least buy a few more of his favorite books.

Dogula likes reading, but money is tight.

He happily took it and said, "Deal."

Cap's face darkened as he watched Mercer learning lock picking from the bandits.

I kind of regretted bringing Moses here.

"Messer, why learn that? It's useless. When you become stronger, just grab the lock and break it."

"I have nothing better to do anyway, so it would be nice to learn a skill. It's not expensive anyway."

Garp was tired, so he just turned his head away sullenly, thinking out of sight, out of mind.

Listening to Dogula whispering about various lock-picking techniques.

Moses listened carefully.

About what it means to locate a position by listening to sounds and what it means to have nimble fingers.
You can learn it quickly and understand it immediately.

People who are not familiar with the industry may find it difficult to unlock the door, but after knowing the specific principles.
Moses took the thin piece of iron and the lock of Dogula and pried it open in a few seconds.

Use sound to locate the position and have nimble fingers.

Learn about the color of seeing and hearing.

Let’s understand it through anatomy.

For Messer it was simple.

After playing for a while, Messier understood the principle of unlocking.

And practice makes perfect.

Dogula looked on in amazement, looking as if he was shocked.

"Really? I've spent most of my life learning this technique."

An expression of despair.

Moses was not paying attention to him at the moment.

The light curtain panel projects onto the retina.

In the Gifts and Abilities column, Moses gritted his teeth and used 1 merit point to refine his life history and experience. Then,

【unlock】

Another new gift is impatiently appearing, although it is gray and has not yet been truly manifested.

"Hehe, interesting."

"Should I try to manifest this gift?" Moser pondered. "Hmm, I feel like I'm still a little short of inspiration. Never mind, let it go. I'll just practice hard these next few days and try to manifest it."

As a little life hack, it is still somewhat useful to Messi at the moment.

More importantly, the locks in this world are generally just like that.

Most of them are very simple and primitive.

……

Children are in the growing stage and need to go to bed early. Mercer and Ace took a bath in a large bucket in a compartment on the second floor.

Sleeping on a mat on the floor.

Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, Messer squinted his eyes and felt himself through his own breathing.

Perceive your body with the help of the seeing and hearing colors, constantly perceive deeply along with your breathing, and exercise your spirit and will.

At this time, Ace on the side said:

"I can't sleep. We're the same age, so why are you so much stronger than me?"

After a few seconds, seeing that Messer ignored him and listening to the faint breathing sound beside his ears, Ace felt a little depressed.

"are you asleep?"

"In the end, it didn't."

Mercer said calmly, "It's about the way of cultivation. Do you know what cultivation is?"

“Eat, run, and box.”

"This is what Grandpa Stinky taught me."

Hearing the words next to him, Moses curled his lips and said, "How vulgar!"

Ace suddenly sat up and threw the covers off.

"You called me vulgar? You want to fight?"

"Why are you so anxious? Look, you are so anxious, but you can't beat me."

Messer rested his left elbow on the mat, leaned sideways and looked at Ace's face full of dissatisfaction, and said with a grin:

"Call me brother, and I will teach you how to practice."

Ace snorted, "No."

"Then I will learn how to practice, and I will become stronger and stronger. But you can never be stronger than me in the future, or you will always be my younger brother."

Ace's eyes twitched, and he turned his face away with his fists clenched. After a few seconds, he stammered, "Brother."

Mercer smiled and said, "I didn't hear you. You were speaking louder, like a girl. Not cheerful at all."

Mercer watched Ace tremble, waited for a moment, and then spoke a little louder:
"elder brother!!"

"Bigger."

Ace's face flushed red, he turned around and grabbed Messer's shoulders, pulled Messer up, and took a deep breath.

"elder brother!!!!"

A loud roar sounded.

The whole house seemed to tremble.

Suddenly, Messer heard a noisy sound coming from the floor below.

At the same time, a roar was heard, and Dadan's voice roared from below:

"Ace!! Are you going to go crazy by not sleeping so late at night?! Be quiet! If you dare to howl again, get out of here and sleep." Bang!
"What are you arguing about? Are you going to die if you don't sleep at night?"

Garp slapped the ground and roared, "Everyone, be quiet."

Suddenly, the room became quiet.

Mercer looked at Ace, seeing his smug expression, and said calmly, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Now go to sleep."

After saying that, he leaned back, covered himself with the quilt and continued to sleep.

In less than three seconds, a light snoring sound appeared.

Only Ace was left staring with wide eyes.

……

The next day.

The morning air was unusually fresh, and the green grass on the road was covered with dewdrops.

Mercer was jogging along the path in the morning, with a little dog following closely behind him.

He controlled his speed, putting Ace in a state where he was about to catch up, but just couldn't.

Listening to his heavy breathing.

Another moment passed.

Messer slowed down.

And Ace rushed over immediately.

After a few seconds, Ace looked back and saw that Messer had stopped and started to walk slowly.

He walked over with an angry look on his face.

"Why don't you run? I'm about to overtake you."

"Your illusion."

Messer spoke lightly.

Ace raised his eyebrows and was about to explode.

Messermann said logically, "The so-called practice is breathing."

Hearing this, Ace instantly calmed down. He was not stupid and of course he could see that Messer was much stronger than him.

Refusing to admit defeat is just refusing to admit defeat.

The principles of breathing, how to breathe, and how to learn.

Messer spoke clearly to Ace.

And provide step-by-step guidance.

Just like what he taught Hancock that day, silver needles were inserted into Ace's breathing nodes one by one.

Guide him step by step.

……

After breakfast, Ace coughed from time to time.

Only Garp knew what was going on.

As for the others, they just thought that Ace might have a cold.

Walking on the way down the mountain.

Garp observed the rhythm of Messer's breathing. He hadn't noticed it before and didn't think much of it. But now that he noticed it, he found it even more profound.

I was also breathing in a unique rhythm, and my eyes were filled with more and more surprise.

Not long after,
Come to the warship.

After taking the herbs purchased by Bogart, Messer and Garp came to the Slab's house. As soon as they entered the door, Garp happily took Luffy.

Play with it in your arms.

Messiah went into the house and used a small medicine pot to demonstrate to Ying how to decoct the medicine.

Go through the process again.

And write her a detailed process.

The medicine soup is ready.

Mercer looked at the naked baby in front of him and accurately inserted a silver needle into the acupuncture point in the baby's belly button.

Gently twist and grind with special techniques.

The baby's face turned visibly red and he started crying loudly.

After the baby stopped crying, Messer slowly put the "medicine" of suitable temperature into his mouth with a straw.

After a brief demonstration, let the baby’s mother Aying operate it.

A set of processes is completed.

Another hour or so passed.

If you are not physically tired, you will just be in trouble.

Seeing that he was no longer needed, Moses went out.

Holding a Slab's fishing rod in his hand, he went to play on the beach not far from the courtyard.

There is a reef over there, which is said to be a good place for fishing.

Moses was keen to try new things like this.

Because it is a coastal village, as long as you face the sea, no matter which direction you go, you will eventually reach the beach.

On a rocky beach, Messier sat on a rock close to the sea, put fresh bait on the fishhook, and relying on the rod-swinging action he remembered, he swung the rod hard, and the fishhook fell perfectly into the sea.

Looking at the float made of reed stems floating on the sea, Moses sat on the rock with a calm face looking at the endless sea.

Listen to the sound of waves in your ears and feel the sea breeze on your body.

The ocean is different from the one you feel on a warship.

There's always a sense of unease and drifting when you're on a warship.

But here, sitting on the ground, you will have a sense of groundedness.

Mercer enjoyed this feeling very much, comfortable, breathing up and down, feeling the breathing frequency in the sea breeze, the breathing frequency in the rolling waves, and the breathing frequency of the reefs on the shore.

Heaven and man are one.

Feel the beauty of nature.

His breathing rose and fell slowly, like a reef.

Gradually, the whole person seemed to be in harmony with the environment.

Empty your mind, imagine yourself as a reef, and keep a calm mind.

The float on the sea not far ahead rises and falls slowly with the waves, with blue sky, white clouds, beaches, reefs, and anglers.

Everything is so natural.

No fish took the bait.

Moses just sat there in a daze.

until.

Looking at the buoy stranded on the reef, Messi came to his senses and felt helpless.

"I chose an area with deep enough water, but I still ran aground due to low tide."

"What a mess."

Messiah complained helplessly.

"Puff! Hehehe, you're so funny, little brother?"

A clear and sweet laugh sounded beside him, but Messier did not turn around. The next moment, the person made an angry sound "hmm".

"Little brother, big sister is talking to you?"

Then a finger pointed over, and Messer leaned back at the right moment, and a slender index finger appeared in front of him.

Moses turned and looked.

A girl of twelve or thirteen appeared here.

About the same size as Hancock.

His dark green hair was tied up with a bright yellow spotted headscarf, and he wore an orange plaid sleeveless shirt and knee-length off-white shorts.

Bare feet wearing a pair of slippers.

At this moment, she was looking at him with her cheeks puffed up.

The outstretched right hand with five fingers spread out reached towards Moses' head.

"Big sister isn't a bad person, are you here alone? Where are your family?"

The girl asked curiously.

Moses looked at her outstretched right hand and raised his fishing rod a notch to block her right hand.

"By the way, who are you? Also, usually people who say things like that are human traffickers. We probably don't know each other, right?
This place is so big, is there something you need from me?

Also, don't touch others casually, we are not familiar with each other."

Mercer looked at her calmly.

"Hey, little brother, you are really interesting. I have noticed you here for quite some time, sitting here like a log fishing."

"And the noodles are unfamiliar. Are you new to our Windmill Village?"

"Oh, by the way, my name is Makino, and you, little brother?"

A flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, and Mercer looked at her, and her memory slowly merged with the neighbor girl.

"Messer, my name is Messer."
