I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 1 001 Beginning!

Chapter 1 001. Beginning!

[Another stranger has arrived.]

In the dark and cramped space, a small figure stretched his body.

[Alas, every day I can only use this unknown sensory ability to see the outside world. When will this life end?]

"It's been almost twenty months since I regained consciousness. It seems the world I live in is truly extraordinary. Could I be from some wealthy family?"

Could it be some high-ranking martial artist?
No, no, how is that possible?

"Ahhh~ When will this kind of thing ever end? And this guy next to me, stop squeezing me!"

inside the house.

Looks silent,

In the dim light, you can see a gentle woman leaning against the head of the bed.

The breath of life is like a candle in the wind, and as tenacious as weeds.

More than 20 months
The man felt his throat dry at the thought and swallowed uncontrollably. "Are you Portgas D. Luju?"

Lu Jiu blinked her sore eyes, looking at the famous man who had arrived, a man who was a household name in this era, and seemed to finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief:

"Hello, Mr. Karp."

Hearing the weak voice, Karp felt powerless.

cough!
With a dry throat, he said:
"Now that I'm here, you can just give birth to them with peace of mind. Leave everything else to me."

"thanks, thanks"

Lu Jiu said gratefully.

……

[Merit Points +1]

[Hmm? What is this thing? Why is it so suctiony? I'm going to...]

Wow, wow, wow.
[It's so dark, is it evening? Oh my god, I was finally born.]

The "weak" cry of a baby echoed in the spacious room. A few minutes later, another louder cry was heard.

[It's so noisy, what's there to yell about? Unlike me, I prefer to be quiet.]

"That's great, mother and child are safe. Doctor, I'll go get that gentleman."

The nurse rushed out.

A moment later, the stranger who had been sensed before also entered the house.

See someone coming,

[Huh? Why does this person look familiar?]

Lu Jiu, leaning against the head of the bed, gently held the two babies in their cradles and rubbed them softly with her pale face.

Looking at the baby in her arms, her tone was gentle yet contained infinite reluctance:

"The one with freckles on his face is the younger brother, Gol D. Ace, and the one who looks a bit weak is the older brother, Gol D. Messer."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Jiu's arm slipped from the swaddling clothes, and her life came to an end.

[Gol D? Could it be]

When Messer heard his own name, he was stunned for a moment, and then he sensed that Lu Jiu's breath dissipated.

An uncontrollable sadness surged in my heart, "Wow"

At the same time, another baby next to him started crying as if infected.

The doctor beside him looked at the two babies with pity in his eyes. He said with regret: "Sir, please accept my condolences. Madam Lu Jiu is too weak and there is nothing we can do for her."

"Yeah." Karp was stunned for a moment, his face became silent: "I understand."

Soon, after taking care of Lu Jiu's funeral and finishing all the "things", Garp left with the two babies in his arms.

"Gol's surname is too eye-catching. From now on, you two will inherit the surname Portgas, your mother Rouge's surname. Your names will be Portgas D. Mercer & Portgas D. Ace."

Walking towards the coast where the warships were docked in the distance, Cap looked at the "well-behaved" Messer in his arms, his eyes a little gloomy.

Thinking about what the doctor had just said and the magical seahorse that could take away memories that he found in his pocket before coming here.

[Sir, I'm sorry, this baby named Messer seems to be born with some weakness and shows signs of premature death, but I can't find the specific cause, and I don't know how long he can live. I'm sorry.]

[Perhaps you could take him to the medical powerhouse of Drum Island in the Grand Line, or perhaps to a genius doctor who has recently emerged in the West Sea. Those places might be able to find out more about his condition.]

"Yes, I understand. This is a magical seahorse that has the ability to steal memories. Sorry, I can't let you have the memories of Lu Jiu and the children. Sorry."

"Well, okay, I understand. Even though Madam Lu Jiu is our master, it's better for such a secret to be known by as few people as possible."

Holding Messier and Ace in his arms, he could feel Messier's heartbeat, which should be healthy, but his breath was incredibly weak.

"I have this weird feeling of being both strong and weak at the same time. What's going on?"

Garp gritted his teeth a little frantically, but he had made a decision in his heart.

"Since I promised your parents, I will keep my word. From now on, you two will be my grandsons, Garp. Mercer, Ace."

At this moment, noticing the sight, Karp looked around, and finally looked at the little one in his arms who had not yet fallen asleep.

The next moment, two pairs of black eyes, one big and one small, looked at each other.

Cap was stunned, looking at Messi's open pair of black eyes, a white, wrinkled little hand reaching for his beard, and listening to the babbling baby cry.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he leaned his head towards Moses. The next second, he felt friction on his beard. At the same time, he saw that Moses just touched his beard and then left.

Karp grinned: "Little Mercer, do you like grandpa?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Messer's eyelids began to twitch. After retracting his arm, he closed his eyes.

Garp laughed again.

Mercer closed his eyes, thinking about what the doctor had just said. He was speechless: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

However, while holding the man in his arms, Messier used his perception to sense him quietly.
The terrifying height, the inhumanly strong body, and the terrifying power hidden in the body.

There is also a restrained, yet hidden inhuman aura.

As soon as he jumped onto the warship, Garp's body froze. He felt as if he had been stripped of his clothes, and a sense of perception was scanning him unscrupulously.

At this moment, looking at his adjutant Bogart who was walking towards him and glancing at him in his arms, Karp's eyes twitched and he said in a bad tone:

"Bogart, why are you using your Observation Haki to spy on me?"

The man was wearing a neat brown suit and a matching hat. He was holding a female baboon with its limbs hanging naturally and a large bump on its head.

Bogart froze, looking blankly at his "unreliable" boss, who was holding a pair of babies in his arms, his mouth slightly open.

"Me? No. Oh, and by the way, I brought you the newly-born female monkey you asked for. It's buy one, get one free. Um, it's cleaned."

Seeing that Bogart didn't seem to be lying, and then feeling "offended" again, Cap determined his direction this time and looked into his arms in disbelief.

The perception of sight, hearing, color and smell is a "collision".

Looking at the seemingly "asleep" Mercer in his arms, Garp's eye twitched, "Observation Haki? Innate, released unconsciously, true or false?"

Thinking of this, Karp gently opened Messier's left eyelid with his right thumb and index finger. Looking at the pupil that looked a little empty, his heart skipped a beat.

"Could this child be born blind? No, he can't be. He was looking me in the eye just now."

Thinking of this, Garp became a little uncertain again. Perhaps the eye contact just now was just due to his observation Haki.

said immediately.

"Bogart, set sail now, out to sea, for the Grand Line, Drum Island. Go fast."

Bogart stood at attention and immediately turned around to leave, but the next second, he heard Cap say, "Leave the baboon behind." Bogart turned back and put the baboon down.

Ten minutes later.

Cabin Cap's room.

"I see."

While eating baboon milk, Messer "looked" at the amorphous ball of light of indescribable color that he had discovered before, which was entrenched in the center of his consciousness.

Exuding a hazy luster.

It looks like a big round "egg".

Filled with an indescribable atmosphere.

I came into contact with [Merit Points] not long ago, just as they appeared.

As soon as you come into contact with it, a series of complex streams of information appear in your consciousness like flowing water, and are then naturally received and understood.

Reborn.

crossed.

There is also "Tongzi".

However, his own system is even more special. Not only does it coexist perfectly with him and complement each other, it is also constructed based on his own subconscious fantasy.

In the blink of an eye, a crystal blue, ultra-sci-fi light screen appeared in my mind and projected onto my retina.

Looking at the status bar:

[Real Name], [Attributes], [Gifted Ability], [Comprehensive Evaluation], [Merit Points], [Soul Crystal], [Legend Degree].

Open them one by one.

Real name: Portgas D. Mercer
Attributes:
[Physique]: Strength: F- Endurance: F- Agility: F-
[Soul]: Will: F- Perception: F- Spirit: F-
[Special. Mysterious (Energy)]: F- (Gaining bonus to Observation Haki.)
[Special Charm]: C- (Permanently increases the Devil's Heir's abilities.)
[Special. Luck]: C- (Permanently increases the Devil's Heir's ability.)
Gifted Abilities:

[A-rank gift: Devil's heir], [B-rank gift: Tens of thousands of grudges], [C-rank gift: Observation Haki].

Overall evaluation: [F- (Not an ordinary person?)]

Merit Points: [1]

Soul Crystal: [0]

Legend Degree: [Unknown (Merit Points +0/Day)]

He closed the [Attributes] column and used his mind to control the [Gift Abilities] column. Mercer looked at the three abilities that had appeared on the Gift Abilities column when he discovered the big "egg".

[A-level Gift: Devil's Heir] (Cannot Grow Freely)

[Blessing Effect: Just being alive is a blessing, a living legend unknown yet widely circulated. Gain a permanent +3 bonus to Luck/Charm attributes below A-level, and gain one merit point daily.]

[Gift Evaluation: Lucky or unlucky, you can't decide the beginning, but you can decide your end!]

[B-Rank Gift: Tens of Thousands of Resentments] (Cannot Grow Naturally)

[Blessing Effect: Because of your existence, the merit accumulated from the massacre of tens of thousands of infants in the South China Sea, the desire to be born, yet being ignored, pure prayer, pure hatred, you gain the blessing of strength, and the curse of weakness.]

[Gift's evaluation: Although you appear frail on the outside, underneath that frailty you are incredibly healthy. One plus one minus equals zero?]

[C-rank gift: Observation Haki] (can grow freely)
[Blessing Effect: The innate awakening of perception ability is the power of "hearing", the power of strong perception of the surrounding atmosphere, and the permanent moderate acceleration of the growth of Perception/Agility/Mystic Attributes of C grade and below.]

[Gift Evaluation: Among the three treasures of "Jing Qi Shen", this one belongs to the power of "Shen" in terms of perception. ——Perception is going wild! !]

These three can be said to be gifts and abilities extracted from one's own life experiences and history. This may also be one's own:
"Life start-up capital?"

As to whether it is true or not, there is an introduction in the information conveyed by the "light ball".

After a while.

After realizing that the two human cubs were full, the mother baboon looked at Karp ingratiatingly, looked at this ferocious two-legged human, and stretched out her claws to point at her own cubs beside her.

Cap: “.”

Ten days later.

Under the high-speed sailing of the warship.

A snow-white island appeared with several tall pillars like chimneys on it. At the same time, the temperature around it dropped sharply.

Glancing at Bogart beside him, Garp said with a playful smile, "I'll leave Ace to you. Keep an eye on the female baboon. These creatures are not easy to deal with, especially towards other creatures' cubs."

The warship sailed into the waterway inside the island and approached a dock. Cap jumped off the warship holding the tightly wrapped Messer and disappeared from Bogart's sight in a moment.

Looking from afar, Bogart sighed and murmured:

"Why bother."
