I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 36 036. Barbecue at the beach!

"Look, that's it."

Mercer looked at the water-logged areas of the surrounding reefs and soon found oysters clinging to a rock.

Pointing, Mercer said, "That is, you can eat the oysters by prying open the shells. The meat is very delicious and tender."

Ya Dabao took off directly and flew over the sea surface. His sharp claws grabbed an oyster from the reef.

Fly into the air and drop the oysters onto a reef below.

There was a crisp sound.

The oyster shells were smashed directly.

Moses saw the crow fly down, press down with its claws, and open the shell with its sharp beak, tasting the fresh seafood.

A palm-sized oyster was eaten in two bites.

Mercer smiled and asked, "How does it taste?"

"Ga~, tender and fresh! Let's eat it." Ya Dabao's eyes lit up and he continued to catch oysters to eat.

"Mei, you eat."

After a while, Ya Dabao brought a broken oyster and said to Mercer.

"Okay." Mercer smiled and did not refuse Ya Dabao's kindness. He clamped the fishing rod with his legs and reached out to take the oyster.

It tastes soft, elastic and smooth in the mouth, with a hint of sweetness, but also a strong fishy smell.

After they finished eating, Mercer said, "They actually taste better grilled. Go get some dry wood, and I'll go get some seasoning. We'll grill the oysters here later."

Ya Dabao nodded and flew away. Mercer inserted the fishing rod into the crevice of the reef and fixed it, then returned to the warship.

After a while, cooking oil, sesame oil, oyster sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped green onion, steamed fish soy sauce, and chopped onion were prepared in the kitchen.

It also comes with a special iron net for barbecue.

Some villagers pointed and talked about us along the way.

When we reached the reef,

A pile of dry firewood had been prepared by Ya Dabao and thrown into a stone pit.

He built a fire pit with stones, lit wood, and when the fire started, Mercer went to the reef to look for oysters and edible shellfish.

Soon he found a large pile of them, pried open the oysters with his dagger Hanlu, and washed them in clean sea water.

Half an hour later.

I was lucky today. A fish actually took the bait. It was an unknown sea fish, not small at all, weighing about seven or eight kilograms. Messer happily gutted and cleaned it.

All preparations were ready, the wood had been carbonized and there was not much smoke. The iron mesh on the fire pit was brushed with a layer of oil, and Moser placed the oysters with the left shell on the mesh.

Sprinkle the oyster meat in the shell with onions and garlic, and pour oyster sauce and sesame oil on it. After a while, the oysters grilled on charcoal fire will become sizzling and oily.

ripe.

Not minding the heat, he quickly took out a piece of oyster and placed it in front of Ya Dabao.

"Eat it. If you think it's too hot, wait a moment."

Moses took the roasted oysters and placed them between himself and Ya Dabao, and then continued to roast them.

When one side of the fish is almost done, apply a layer of sauce to it, turn it over and continue grilling.

"I was right. You are here, little Mercer."

At this time,

A familiar voice came and Messer turned his head to look.

A dozen meters away, a pretty girl of about fourteen or fifteen appeared.

He wore a red sleeveless jacket over a white plaid shirt, and light blue trousers with a simple pattern on his straight and somewhat fleshy legs.

On his feet were a pair of brown and black deerskin boots.

The skin exposed to the air is white and smooth.

Her long dark green hair was tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head.

There was a strand of hair hanging on each side of the forehead, and the beautiful face with delicate eyebrows was looking at him sullenly.

Messer blinked, looking at the suddenly larger Makino with some confusion, "How did you know I was here?"

"What do you think?" Makino walked over with puffed cheeks, not caring about the dirt, and sat down on the reef opposite Messer:

"You were seen with a barbecue net. Mr. Cap's grandson went fishing at the beach.

Everyone in the entire port knew about this. My home is not far from the dock, so I heard it.

You didn't come to see me when you came, but just came here to have a picnic by yourself. Do you still think of me as your sister?

Why didn't you come the last few times Mr. Karp came? Are you busy with something?"

Makino stared at Messer and complained for a long time.

In fact, what she didn't say was that after she knew that the Garp warship had arrived, she went over to ask.

After knowing that Moses had gone to the village chief's house, he ran there too. Then he knew that he had gone fishing, but when he looked for him, he saw nothing.

Not long after returning home, he heard from the villagers that Cap's grandson seemed to have gone to a barbecue half an hour ago, so he rushed over.

I finally saw it now.

Why is it so difficult to meet you?

Thinking of this, Makino glared at Messier fiercely, with an unhappy look on his face, as if to say, "Come on, coax me."

Mercer smiled helplessly and handed an oyster to Makino. "Plans can't keep up with changes. I've been busy with my own things these past two years, so I've been a little delayed."

Makino took a look, reached out to take the oyster, and asked curiously, "Can you tell me what it is?"

As he spoke, he took the small scalpel handed to him by Messer, and at Messer's signal, he picked up the oyster with the scalpel and took a bite.

As soon as he ate it, his eyes lit up. Looking at the rich ingredients inside, he squinted and smiled:
"Not bad, Messer. I didn't expect you could cook barbecue."

"Of course, I'm still confident in little things like grilling. It's not a big deal. I just learned a skill, blacksmithing," Mercer said simply.

"Are you a blacksmith?" Makino blinked, feeling a little surprised. "You are so young, are you an apprentice?"

Mercer looked at her with a strange expression and couldn't help complaining:
"I'm so young, who would want me to be their apprentice?"

Makino was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and then frowned and looked at Messer:

"Are you lying to me again?"

"How did I lie to you?"

"You said you weren't lying. You said before that you were alone, and then your grandfather, Mr. Cap, came out."

"That's because we're not familiar with each other! Besides, I've already apologized."

"Did you?" Makino asked doubtfully. "If you apologized, I would definitely remember it. I'm sure you didn't."

"Didn't I give you a deer before I left?" Moses said, "It was both a return gift and an apology. Didn't I tell you that?"

"You! Didn't!!"

Makino said it word by word, then laughed again, "You didn't say a word. You just said 'this deer is a return gift for you', and then left."

"Oh, I forgot, I'll make it up to you now." Mercer said with a smile. Makino complained speechlessly: "How can it be like this? I've been waiting for this apology for a long time."

After flipping the grilled fish, Messer glanced at Makino and said, "Eat it! Hurry up and eat it. I'm still grilling it."

"Oh? Oh."

Makino ate with big mouthfuls, not being polite at all, and Messer smiled at this.

The two chatted and laughed while eating oysters. The fish was grilled and Messer cut it into three pieces with a scalpel.

You get one, I get one, and it gets one.

I don’t know if my luck was particularly good next time, but a lobster and a flat sea fish took the bait one after another.

There are more varieties of seafood to eat.

"Mei, is that a sea worm?" Ya Dabao suddenly spoke, pointing a wing at the muddy sand between two rocks ten meters away. "Hmm, that's strange."

Mercer looked over and saw something pink and tender, like a long intestine, wriggling in the damp sand. "It's called a star worm, also known as a sea intestine. It tastes delicious, just like a sausage."

Before he could finish his words, Ya Dabao flapped his wings and flew over, grabbing the thing firmly with one claw.

When it reached Meser, the sea cucumber loosened its claws and flew towards Meser. Seeing this scene, Meser raised his scalpel.

The sand intestine was pierced directly. Messier rolled his eyes at it, stood up and walked two steps to the beach, cut open the sea intestine along the digestive tract, and cleaned the sand inside in sea water.

Wash it clean, apply some oil on it, and put it on the iron wire mesh to bake.

At this time, Makino looked at Messer in surprise and said, "Messer, did this crow speak just now? I've been wanting to ask you for a long time, is it your pet?"

The corners of Messer's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked at Makino and said, "I thought you never asked. I just saw you staring at my crow."

Makino blinked, then smiled and said, "Beautiful things will naturally attract people's attention. This crow is so beautiful, it's normal for it to attract attention."

At this time, Crow Dabao laughed, first glanced at Moses, and rang out in a hoarse voice: "The crow is not your bird, the crow's body and mind belong to you.

Mei, just, boss."

As he spoke, he looked at Makino again, and looked her up and down with his bird eyes. A "tsk tsk" sound came out of his beak, and then he said hoarsely:

"The woman is beautiful, I know that, but she has a family, a wife, and children. There's no chance for you and her."

Looking at Makino's dazed look, Ya Dabao laughed and said, "The woman is pretty, but unfortunately, she's a fool. Hahaha~, Mei doesn't like fools either, hahaha."

When Moses heard the last sentence, his face darkened. He reached out and pinched Ya Dabao's beak, saying speechlessly, "You haven't drunk anything, what nonsense are you talking about? People are just complimenting you, is it necessary to make personal attacks?"

Ya Dabao shook his head, and seeing that he couldn't break free, he stopped struggling and just glared at Makino, as if he wanted to say something. Seeing this, Messer said:

"I can let you go, but you are not allowed to make any more personal attacks."

Ya Dabao nodded.

As soon as Moses let go, Ya Dabao spoke directly: "I noticed you before. From the sky, I saw that you were in all the places Moses had been to. I thought it was a coincidence and didn't take it seriously.

Listen to what you just said.

But now, Crow has discovered that you have been looking for Mei, right?"

Listening to Ya Dabao's analysis, Messer looked at Makino with a smile, "Did you come to see me just now?"

Makino blushed, feeling a little ashamed. She had never expected that she would be exposed by a crow, and she had never expected that the crow could actually speak.

It was also said to his face.

Makino was a little flustered, but only a little. Then he looked at Messer with a smile and admitted generously:

"Yes, I have looked for you before. After all, you are so interesting, Messer, and I don't have many peers in the village.

Either you are older than me and it’s boring to play with you, or you are younger than me and childish. After all, you are still the most interesting. Although you are younger than me, you are not childish at all.

So I was thinking, if Mr. Cap is coming back, would you come with him.

But I didn't expect that Mr. Cap has come back several times in the past two years, but you haven't come once.

I also asked Mr. Karp, and he also said he didn't know what you were doing.

So, I decided that every time Mr. Karp comes, I will ask him, I want to see if you really mean what you said. How many times do you mean by 'next time'?

As he spoke, Makino glared at Messer resentfully and continued to complain:

"But I didn't expect that when you came this time, I couldn't find you for a long time. How could you run away so fast? Can't you just stay in one place when you fish?"

Messer blinked, looked at Makino who was spitting out beans in front of him, and gave her a look of pity:
"You've got it really hard. You don't even have anyone your own age to talk to. How pitiful! At least I still have Dr. Dolly, a panda, and a family of crows."

When Makino heard what Messer said, his eyes froze for a moment, then his eyes were filled with pity as he looked at Messer and sighed:

"It turns out you're even more pitiful than me. At least I have a whole village of people I can talk to, but you only have an old lady, a bear, and some birds."

Mercer's expression turned speechless. "Grandma?"

Makino nodded. "Mr. Cap once said, 'That fellow Messer lives in the mountains with a lonely old woman.'"

When Moses heard this, he felt a little annoyed, but he had to explain to avoid any misunderstanding.

After a while.

Makino laughed dryly.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that the "old woman" of Moses would be such a person.

Although he is physically older, his physical condition and mental age are the same as those of a young person.

There is also a chef who ate a devil fruit and a miner panda.

A family of talking crows.

Everything is completely different from what Mr. Karp said. Messer's life is extremely interesting.

As expected, Mr. Karp is too unreliable and even slanders others casually.

Makino couldn't help puffing up his lips, took a big bite of the grilled fish and ate it, "Sorry."

Moses was a little surprised and asked in confusion, "What are you apologizing for?"

"After all, I'm talking about that old doctor lady of yours."

"That's nothing. Some people in our area call her a witch or a dead old woman."

"Then the people there are really bad."

"It's okay. It's because Doctor Dolly charges a bit too much for her treatment. Besides, anyone who dares to scold her gets beaten back by her."

"beat?"

"Yeah, a beating. The kind that breaks down a wall with one kick."

"Messer, you are joking again, right? How can a person kick down a wall? Haha. Haha."

After two dry laughs, seeing that Messer looked calm, Makino had to calm down.

He rubbed his head in distress, sighed, and looked at Messer: "Hey, Messer, have you ever thought about why the gap between people is so big?"

“I can’t even break a wooden stake as thick as my fist, but some people can knock down a stone wall with one punch.

I saw it with my own eyes once, and it was so scary that I even thought the wall was dangerous."

"Why is there such a huge gap between people? It's like we are two different species."

"I am so lucky to be able to live so well until now."
