I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 40. First meeting!
"Tsk, poor bastard, the three of us only have a little over a thousand Baileys on us." Ace said speechlessly:

"They all have broken corners, and I don't know if they can be spent."

"You can spend it. I know a bank that will accept this kind of money, which means they will take some of the credit limit." Sabo said.

"It's so dark."

"Yeah, it's just black, and each one looks like a vampire."

Sabo spread his hands and cursed unhappily: "Those people are stinking shit."

The two men took the seized money and left, heading towards the forest outside.

"Speaking of which, Sabo, how come you know so much? Did you live in the city before?"

"Ace, didn't we say that we don't ask about each other's origins?"

"Oh, yes. Sorry."

"It's okay. I forgive you."

"Hehehe." "Hehehe!"

Moses watched them go away and come out from behind the garbage pile, and the crow also flew down.

"Go follow them both, follow them in the sky, I'll come find you later."

"Ga~mei, be safe, be careful."

Ya Dabao flew into the sky with a bag of honey.

Moses appeared in front of the three unconscious people and looked at them expressionlessly.

After a while.

Moses left here and they did not die. Since the two guys did not take action, Moses would not take over.

However, they no longer have the capital to commit crimes again in the future.

Maybe there is some double standard, but that is the kind of person Moses is. This is to prevent them from feeling resentful and taking secret action in the future.

Moses never overestimated human nature.

There are saints in this world, but most are just ordinary people.

Mercer walked all the way to the coast and appeared near the coast at the "uncertain terminal", looking at the endless blue sea in front of him.

The water is calm.

This area is now empty, with a simple dock, but no ship docks here.

"No pirates?"

"That's it."

Since there was no target he wanted to find, Messier was not going to breathe the polluted air here anymore.

It smells really bad.

The smell of various daily necessities burning, mixed with some indescribable strange smell, is simply killing me.

Soon, Moses came back to the edge of the forest.

Take one step.

Returned to the forest again.

Take a few deep breaths, let the air flow through your body, exchange air with the fresh air, and refresh your mind.

Comfortable!

The observation Haki sensed the direction of Ya Dabao and also the location of the two boys.

Moses did not delay any longer and set out through the forest.

Tall trees with a diameter of at least five or six meters passed by.

Swish!
Moses pushed aside the bushes that blocked the way and walked out. He looked up and saw the crow Dabao flying in the sky. He also saw two small figures on the thick branches of a giant tree that was estimated to be a hundred meters high ten meters away.

It is at least twenty meters high.

The two of them were squatting there, twisting their buttocks, and no one knew what they were doing. Messer was too lazy to use his observation Haki to see through them.

He walked happily to the tree, in a state of harmony with nature, and disguised his breath lightly. Moser clasped the rough texture of the tree trunk with his five fingers and climbed up quickly.

Ten seconds later.

Moses sat on a higher branch, looking down at the storage space below him that was created by hollowing out the branches.

There were some jewels, coins, gold and silver products scattered inside.

"Ace, we're one step closer to our goal."

"Goal? Do you still want to go to sea? To do what? Pirate? Navy? Or something else?"

Sabo looked at Ace with some confusion, "In this day and age, pirates are the most free, so if nothing unexpected happens, I will become a pirate. What about you?"

"I don't know, I haven't decided yet, and that guy Messer hasn't said anything either. I'll ask him later and see what he wants to do.

But pirates?
I kind of don't want to be one. It feels pretty awkward, but as long as the pirate flag is up, it always feels like it's going to be troublesome."

Speaking of this, Ace thought of Garp and his fists. He always felt that if he said he wanted to be a pirate in front of him, he would definitely be beaten badly.

Thinking of this, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, that stinky old man with strange strength.

"Messer? I've heard you mention this name so many times. Could you please tell me? Of course, I don't mean to ask you anything. I'm just simply curious. It's up to you whether you want to tell me or not. I don't mean to force you."

"Puch!"

Suddenly, a laugh sounded above their heads. They were both frightened and almost jumped up.

The two looked up and were stunned. Sabo looked at it with horror, as he hadn't noticed anything just now.

As for Ace, his face was dull at first, then he became excited, and then his face quickly turned black, and then blue and purple.

Sabo looked at Messer nervously and warily, but Ace stood up, pointed his teeth at Messer and roared:

"Are you sick? Are you trying to scare me to death? Messer, do you want a beating? Get down here and I'll beat you up. Do you kneel down and call me brother?"

Sabo looked at the incoherent Ace with a confused look on his face. Only two words remained in his ears. He looked at the person who appeared on the branch above his head and muttered:
"Messer?"

Mercer smiled happily and waved to Ace, "Hey, my stupid brother, Sasi ignores me!"

After saying that, he ignored Ace's dark face and looked at Sabo, "Hey, I'm Messer, you must be Sabo, Ace's good friend."

Jumping down from the branch, Moses stood steadily in front of the two men, looking at them with a smile.

Sabo looked at Messer curiously: "How do you know my name is Sabo? We have probably never met before."

Messer suddenly jumped back, dodging an angry fist, and then pressed down with his left hand to hold down Ace's kicking leg.

Mercer looked at him helplessly and sighed, "Is this how you say hello after a long time no see?

I don’t remember ever teaching you that.”

Ace was immediately furious when he heard this. He looked at the leg that was grabbed by Messer and said with a dark face, "Let go?"

Messer smiled, grabbed his leg and swung it hard. Ace flew up and most of his body was thrown out.

A cry of surprise suddenly came out of his mouth.

Mercer took a step to the side, his left arm hanging on the outside of the tree trunk, and Ace was hanging in the air upside down.

Ace kept kicking his legs and yelling angrily, "Get me up, quickly?" Hearing the noise, Messer sat down on the branch, swinging his left arm, not giving Ace a chance to get up.

Just play like this.

At this moment, looking at Sabo in front of him, Messer smiled and nodded, looking him up and down, and seeing his bewildered face:
"Didn't Ace just call your name?"

"I'm not deaf, I can hear you, but you two are really brave, daring to compete with that desperado in the garbage mountain for food."

As soon as he said this, Messer felt the struggle on his left hand ease. He turned his head and happened to meet Ace's guilty eyes.

"Is that you? You saved me just now, Mercer?"

Ace asked, pursing his lips.

Sabo also looked at Messi with surprise.

"Yes, it was me." Mercer said cheerfully. Then, Mercer said, "Ace, why didn't you swing the axe at that time? Or dodge it?"

Looking down at Ace's silence, Messer smiled and said, "I won't preach anymore, but remember, you're my only brother. If you die, I'll be very distressed."

After saying that, Messer pulled Ace up with his left hand.

Ace sat up and looked at Messer, silent for a moment, then said, "Sorry, I won't do that again."

Mercer waved his hand and looked at Sabo, "It's not me you should apologize to, it's Sabo. He is your partner."

Hearing this, Sabo waved his hands repeatedly, a little embarrassedly saying: "No need, Ace has already apologized to me. By the way, this is back to you."

As he spoke, Sabo pulled out the scalpel stuck in the tree trunk and handed it to Messer.

A thought flashed in Messer's eyes, and he reached out to take it. With his right hand, he took out a sheath from the bag on his waist and fit the blade of the scalpel and the sheath together tightly.

Then he handed it to Sabo and said with a smile: "It's our first meeting, so I don't have any gifts for you. This knife is my masterpiece. If you don't mind, please accept it."

Sabo's eyes lit up, but he hesitated. He couldn't help but say, "This thing must be very valuable. It's better made than any weapon I've ever seen."

Messer smiled and shook his head. "You are a friend recognized by Ace. If you don't mind, I am also your friend. It's a meeting gift between friends, so don't be shy. Just accept it."

At this time, Ace saw that Sabo was still hesitating, and curled his lips and said, "Just accept what Messer gives you. He can give it to you because he treats you as a friend."

After hearing what Ace said, Sabo immediately took it with a grin, grinning with great joy.
"Thanks, Mercer. I like it very much."

He happily pulled the scalpel out of the sheath, then reinserted it, played with it in his hand, then put it in his pocket and then hid it in his sleeve.

I couldn't stop smiling.

Ace looked a little jealous and envious. He glanced at Messer's waist bag, blinked, and pretended not to care.

"I see you still have some. Where did you buy it? I have money now. Can you help me get one too?"

Moses smiled.

"Call me brother."

Ace's eyes widened, and after thinking about it, he felt that he was not at a disadvantage, so he smiled and said, "Brother, I want a knife."

Rolling his eyes, Messi always felt that he was at a disadvantage, but after thinking about it, it was no big deal. He could forge it himself anyway, and at worst he could forge a few more later.

He rummaged through the bag with his right hand and randomly picked up one of the four remaining scalpels and gave it to Ace.

Ace took it, pulled the scalpel's blade out of the sheath, and looked at it with delight. He couldn't let it go as he saw the delicate texture that ran through the blade and the handle as one.

Looking at Ace, Messer said, "My master is here too. He said he wants to teach us how to practice. Be prepared."

Ace's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he swallowed his saliva.

"real or fake."

Messer shrugged.

At this time, Sabo said: "Grandpa? Your grandfather?"

Mercer looked at him and suddenly smiled, "By the way, Sabo, do you want to go practice with us?"

Sabo hesitated, even though he was very curious and wanted to go. "I won't go. After all, I don't even know your grandfather, so I won't bother you."

"Okay, then come with us. Good friends should share the hard times." Mercer said with a smile.

Ace also laughed maliciously and said, "That's right, Sabo, let's go together. Aren't we good friends?"

Sabo became even more curious after hearing this, and was also very curious about one of the three people that Ace often mentioned.

Moses got to know him and they became friends.

All that’s missing is that mysterious grandfather and adoptive mother.

A sense of excitement of exploration came over me.

"Gah!"

Crow Dabao fell from the sky and landed on the branch next to Moses. He looked curiously at the glittering treasure in the tree trunk, and then said in a hoarse voice:
"Mei, Master, come here."

Ace and the other man stared at Crow Dabao and exclaimed in unison: "The crow is talking!!"

Messer tilted his head, used his observation Haki to sense out, and discovered Garp's presence in the distance.

He was somewhat confused, yet not confused, so he looked at Ace and the other man, and then at the treasure in the hollowed-out tree trunk.

"Let's go, my master is here to see you, let's go over there."

Ace and the others didn't care whether Crow said anything or not, and hurried to clean up the mess.

Seal the dug-out piece of tree trunk tightly into the hollow in the tree trunk.

Ace said: "Quick, let's go down and get away from here. The secret treasure cannot be discovered."

Sabo beside him nodded quickly.

And they all looked toward Moses and said together, “Come, let us go down.”

Both of them subconsciously ignored the fact that this was the first time Moses knew about their treasure.

Messer smiled and didn't care, and quickly climbed down the tree with the two of them.

And under the guidance of Messier, he ran towards Cap.

A few minutes later, crows were flying in the sky and three little boys were running on the ground.

Suddenly, the three of them stopped because a very sturdy middle-aged man wearing colorful beach pants, short-sleeved shirt and slippers appeared in front of them.

Leaving the two brothers aside, Sabo looked at Garp in amazement, unable to stop complaining:
"So strong. Is this your grandfather?"

When Garp arrived at Dadan's House in the morning, he was planning to beat his grandsons right away, no, to teach them how to practice.

But when she heard that Ace had disappeared early in the morning, she was very unhappy. But when she heard that Messer had also come in the morning and disappeared, she began to feel a little upset.

At this moment, looking at the little kid in front of him, and seeing at a glance that this kid's physical fitness was only slightly worse than Ace's, a look of interest flashed in his eyes:
"Kid, what's your name?"

The voice was quiet and quite gentle, but Sabo felt a little nervous. He immediately stood up straight and bowed:
"Hello, my name is Sabo. I'm a little over five and a half years old. I'm a friend of Ace and Messer. You must be their grandfather, right?"

The amusement in Garp's eyes grew even stronger. This kid had a pretty good sense of danger. He coughed and said, "Yes, I'm their grandfather. I guess you're ready too, right?"

Sabo looked confused. "Huh?"

Messier looked at Cap with a strange expression. The aura that just rose from his body was very powerful.

"Grandpa, where are we going to practice?"
