I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 44. Are you going?

Fifteen days later.

“Bang!”

A ten-meter-high wave of water fell from the sky. Although it was not a natural disaster, it was worse than a natural disaster for Moses at that moment.

With a look of helplessness on his face, he gathered all his strength and threw a punch, "bang!", which only hit the water surface in front of him with a diameter of about one meter, forming a hollow depression, and then he was slammed to the bottom of the lake.

Lying flat on the sand at the bottom of the lake, Messier narrowed his eyes and paused for several seconds, floating with the undercurrent in the lake.

He blew out a series of tiny bubbles from his mouth, gripped the mud and sand at the bottom of the lake with his feet, exerted force from his waist, and straightened up under the buoyancy of the water.

Moses kicked his feet, swung his arms and legs, and floated upwards.

Wow!

His head hit the surface of the water, his mouth opened wide, greedily breathing in the fresh air.

He shook his hair and looked around, looking at Karp who was ten meters in front of him, and the two little brothers who were floating in the shallows not far away.

Looking ahead, Garp gave a wry smile, "You really don't show any mercy at all."

Hearing the word "you", Cap's face twitched and he looked at Messi with some embarrassment. Messi had just rushed to two meters in front of him, which should have been considered qualified.

But someone didn't know what went wrong. Cap got carried away and pushed out a wave with his palm, forcing Messier back, and then he raised another ten-meter-high "wave" to attack.

Logically speaking, he was the one who committed a foul.

Karp hurriedly explained, "Messer, you can't blame Grandpa for this. Grandpa just wanted to tell you one thing: never let down your guard just because you think you're about to succeed. You know, people outside won't reason with you."

As soon as these words came out, Cap was immediately satisfied with his own wit, and immediately continued to "talk nonsense" seriously:
"When dealing with an enemy, you must completely eliminate their ability to resist. Never let your guard down during battle.

You have to know that when you are about to succeed, it is often the most dangerous time."

"For example, about ten years ago, there was a great battle between your damn father and another great pirate, Golden Lion.

The Battle of Et-Wol, where your father might have died if he hadn't handled it properly, is a typical example."

Karp began to quote scriptures with a guilty conscience, trying hard to instill his own ideas into Messier.

Mercer listened to Karp's stories with great interest, and was too lazy to find out whether Karp was taking the opportunity to retaliate.

Golden Lion Shiki.

A person who lives only in impressions.

Now, in Garp's objective narration without any personal opinions, the image of the Golden Lion has become vivid in his mind, from his rise to his withdrawal from the current world "stage".

He is cruel, cold-blooded, calculating, domineering, ambitious, courageous, and a bit funny.

This type of person often plays the protagonist in the story, regardless of whether he is good or bad. It is a very charming story.

Moses' blood boiled when he heard this.

"So, Grandpa, where's Golden Lion now? Is he still in Impel Down? That world's largest deep-sea prison?"

As Garp started talking, Ace came over, holding up his hand and looking at Garp with sparkling eyes. The anticipation, curiosity, and excitement in his eyes satisfied Garp's vanity like never before. He immediately laughed while picking his nose:

"That bastard Ski wasn't incarcerated for long before he cut off his own legs and ran away. He was the first prison escapee in the history of Impel Down.

As for now, I don’t know where he is plotting evil.

Well, let’s not talk about him anymore. Just remember what I just said.”

Messer and the other two nodded immediately.

"As long as we haven't succeeded, we absolutely cannot relax, right? As long as it's an enemy, we must completely eliminate his ability to resist, right?"

Mercer concluded with these words, and Karp nodded with a smile:
"That's right, there are so many weird devil fruit abilities in this world. It's better to be cautious than to fall into a trap.

Do you remember it? "

Messer and the other two nodded again.

Garp finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally fooled the person. As for the matter of the Golden Lion, he couldn't just talk about it casually, right?

nonexistent.

For Garp, these are not a big deal. Is there anything wrong with me educating my grandson about the "badness" of pirates?
Is there anything wrong with me telling the truth through case studies?
Absolutely not.

I am digesting this internally.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Karp's lips.

At this time, Moses said calmly: "Grandpa, when you said these words just now, did you want me to regard you as an enemy?"

Garp's face twitched when he heard this, but he didn't hear "you" this time, so he felt relieved and said helplessly:
"I was just teaching you life lessons. We are not enemies. What are you talking about?"

“Oh!” “Oh!” “Oh!”

The three Messers said in unison.

Garp rolled his eyes, looked at the sky, and said to Ace and Sabo:

"You two should practice well in the future. I will come back to see your achievements next time. That's all for now."

Sabo was confused, but Ace frowned, "Are you leaving? Today?"

Garp nodded and spread his hands helplessly, "Well, it's almost time, and I have a lot of things to do."

"Yeah." Ace fell silent. "Then go ahead. See you next time."

"Snapped!"

Slapping Ace on the back, Messer said with a smile, "It's not a life-and-death separation, there's no point in being sad."

Messer looked at Garp and said, "Grandpa, please leave a Den Den Mushi for Ace. This way, if he misses us, he can call us."

Garp slapped his forehead and said awkwardly:
"How could I have forgotten about this? No problem. Leave your phone number to Ace so you can keep in touch later."

"I'll call Bogart and have him take it to Dadana. Let's go up first."

Although the sun is shining and the temperature is not low, it is inevitable that the skin will turn white if it is soaked in water all the time.

Freestyle.

breaststroke.

Dog paddle.

After showing off their skills, the four of them quickly got ashore, took a quick tan, and put on their clothes. Garp took the time to make a call using the small Den Den Mushi on his body.

Because it is autumn, the afternoon sun is particularly warm, and it makes me feel warm on my body.

……

Dadan's House.

Each of the three Moses carried a piece of prey, including a wild boar, a wild bull, and a large crocodile, and threw them into the yard.

Following three sounds of heavy objects creaking, Dadan and the others came out, looking at the plump prey with smiles on their faces.

They were busy dismembering, cleaning, and heating oil in a pan, while Messer and the other three were chatting under the shade of a tree on the side.

Click, click, click!
Click!

A palm-sized lock was pried open by a thin iron piece. Messer fastened the lock again and continued to play with it.

Messer lowered his head and seemed to be looking at the lock in his hand, but in fact he was looking at the light screen panel projected on his retina.

Gifts and abilities column.

[E-level gift: unlocking] (can grow freely)
[Blessing Effect: Fingers become nimble and sharp, and one can locate objects by sound. A slight improvement in understanding mechanical creations.]

[Enci's comment: You thought I opened a lock? Actually, it really is a lock.]

A year ago, I took some time to practice, and then at a certain moment, this gift was truly manifested.

Moses did not suppress it, but let it take its course.

Over the course of a year, I would play with the lock whenever I had free time, and this gift naturally grew to E-level quality.

The gifted ability was very ordinary and almost useless in combat. Even if it was useful, it would be covered by other gifts. But it was still a gifted ability after all. Moses also believed it.

"There are no useless gifts, only useless people with abilities."

"Speaking of which, if this gift continues to improve, will it develop into a conceptual ability? Once activated, as long as the concept of a 'lock' exists, anything will be unlocked?"

"Hey!" Messer smiled and closed the light screen panel. "Tell you what, with this ability, my finger dexterity and sensitivity are getting better and better."

Not only the fingers, but also the entire hands and feet, and the parts related to the "fingers" have become dexterous and sensitive.

Here comes Bogart.

Brought a small Den Den Mushi.

Then he left. Because of his arrival, the bandits here became particularly nervous.

It's professional oppression.

The mouse met the cat.

Bogart also felt a little uncomfortable.

But before leaving, he glanced at Messiah and Ace, who looked somewhat like Messiah.

As for Sabo, he was probably treated as the son of a bandit and ignored.

Mercer and Cap stayed for a meal.

With Ace and Sabo reluctant to leave, the two disappeared into the deep forest.

Arrived at Windmill Village.

Garp looked at Messer and smiled, "Are we going to Makinona again?"

"Hmm?" Mercer feigned surprise. "How did you know?"

Garp's face twitched, he curled his lips, turned around and walked away, "I won't ask anymore, you can do whatever you want, just remember to come early."

Mercer watched Cap walk away in confusion, "Why is he so weird?"

As soon as Cap left, Crow Dabao fell from the sky, grabbed Messer's shoulders with his claws, and croaked, "Shall we go home?"

Mercer nodded, "Well, time to go home."

Chatting with Ya Dabao all the way, he turned a few streets and knocked on the door. Seeing Messer coming at this time, Makino had a guess in his mind: "Are you leaving?"

Mercer smiled and said, "Well, I'm leaving now. I'll stop by to get some honey."

Makino: “.”

Seeing her face puffed up in silence, Mercer smiled and said, "Of course, I also want to say goodbye to you."

Makino's expression improved a little, but he was still reluctant to leave. "Come in first and have a cup of tea before you leave."

Messer didn't refuse. He nodded and went to the bar on the first floor with Makino. They sat at the bar and a cup of black tea was brought to them.

Mercer took a sip of the black tea, savoring its unique richness.

A sealed ceramic jar was brought over by Makino.

"Here~, your honey, I've packed it for you."

Makino smiled gently.

"Messer, when will you come next time?" Makino asked calmly, "Will it be another two years?"

Moses smiled.

"I don't think so, but I'm not sure. We'll have to wait and see. Otherwise, do you want to go to Magnetic Drum Island with me?"

"That's Winter Island, with perennial snow. There are also several 5,000-meter-high iron barrel mountains. Climbing them is quite fun. You can take in the entire island."

"Want to go?"

There was hesitation in Makino's eyes, and hesitant look.

Messer looked at Makino, who was wearing a warm yellow tank top and blue-gray cropped pants. She had fair skin and a little baby fat on her face, and at the moment she had a conflicted expression on her face.

It's quite fun.

"Hmm!" Makino thought for a while, and finally said apologetically: "I heard that the Grand Line is very dangerous, so I decided not to go with you. I'm very weak now, so I won't cause you any trouble."

Mercer looked regretful, but he didn't force it. "Okay, I won't force you."

Makino was silent for a while. After a short silence, he suddenly took a deep breath and looked straight at Messer:

"I will practice the breathing method you taught me. When I can knock down a wall with one punch, can you take me to Drum Island to play?"

Mercer laughed and said, "Then you have to work hard. The 'free breathing method' I taught you is not simple. It is easy to learn but difficult to master.

Forget it, I think you look pretty good today, so before I leave, I'll help you one more time."

As he spoke, he took out a needle bag from his waist bag, took out silver needles one by one, and quickly pierced the nodes of Makino's breathing as her eyes twitched.

"Can't you be gentler?"

Mercer smiled and said, "Hurry up and finish the job so I can go back. Hurry up, stop talking, and breathe."

Makino's mouth twitched and he closed his eyes.

Half an hour later.

Makino walked Messi out the door, sweating all over.

Holding a ceramic jar in his arms, he soon arrived at the dock and boarded the warship.

It seemed that they were only waiting for Messer, and within a few minutes, the warship left the dock.

Walking farther and farther towards the endless sea.

……

a few days later.

noon.

Moses walked out of the cabin and looked at the dark clouds and rain over the sea behind the warship, and the thunder that sounded from time to time.

Water stains accumulated on the deck.

Several miscellaneous soldiers with the word "雑" (雑) on the back of their uniforms were already cleaning the rainwater from the deck.

"We finally got out of that sea area, but we didn't expect to encounter heavy rain."

"Gah~ All the hair is getting moldy."

Ya Dabao followed and landed on Moses' shoulder, basking in the sun comfortably.

Moses raised his shoulder and the crow flew up.

Walking to the bulkhead, Messer grabbed the gap in the bulkhead with his fingers, climbed up, and quickly climbed to the top of the cabin.

Leaning comfortably on the railing on the top of the cabin.

Enjoy the sunshine quietly.

As the sun set in the distance and gradually sank into the sea, Moses jumped down and landed on the deck.

At this moment, the rich aroma of food wafted through the boat. Mercer came to the restaurant, ordered two portions of meat, sat in an empty seat and ate happily with Ya Dabao.

Only after playing twice and having eaten his fill did Messer leave the restaurant.

Return to Cap's room in the cabin.

As soon as I came in, I heard Karp talking on the phone with someone, but it was already at the end of the call and the call was hung up in a few seconds.

At this time, Karp looked at Messier, a thought flashed in his eyes, and then he said casually:

"Messer, I have a temporary mission and need to go to the West Sea. Do you want to go with me?
If you want to go, we will go up the Upside-Down Mountain and go to the West Sea. If you don’t want to go, I will send you back to the Drum Island first. Do you want to go?"
