I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 177 176. Totemjika!
As the stone door opened, what she saw flashed with shock in Asiya's eyes:

"So many. So dazzling."

Hearing her mumbling, Messer smiled and said, "Do you feel a sense of security when you see these things here?"

Asiya was startled when she heard this, then she reacted, pursed her lips slightly and nodded. This was the sentence she had heard most often in her life.

The Lunalia are valuable.

Even if it's just true news, you can get 100 million berries.

Over the past six months, she and the Mercers had been running around the East China Sea, seeing how lavishly they spent money. Even the newspaper was now paying out more than it was getting back. She knew Mercers had never lacked Bailey, but now seeing this...
"The bounty of the Lunaria tribe is nothing to him."

At this time, Messer took out a devil fruit from the box in the corner, looked at her and asked:
"Ashia, are you willing to become a devil fruit user?"

Hearing this, Asiya was startled and asked in surprise:
"Can I, a Devil Fruit user?"

"Ah."

A white devil fruit with spiral spots was handed to her, and Messer said:
"This is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that suits you well. If you like, eat it."

Asiya looked at the familiar devil fruit and thought:

"Is it the one that Lord Mercer stole from CP earlier? No, the one he got?"

Asiya slowly took it and asked, "Are you really going to give it to me? I heard that the cheapest devil fruit costs 100 million berries, and the ones worth billions or even billions."

Mercer laughed teasingly and said, "The more I pay for you, the more at ease you will be, right?"

Asiya thought of the genetic drug Angel No. 2 that she had injected with Luo and Bebo some time ago, and she felt inexplicably at ease. The more she got from Messer, the less likely he would abandon her.

With a smile on her lips, Asiya took a rotten corner of the fruit and took a big bite without caring at all. After one or two bites, her face turned blue. After three bites, she swallowed it whole.

"The devil fruit is just as rumored, it tastes terrible."

Thinking of this in her heart, Asiya let out a breath. After finishing her meal, Asiya looked at Messer and asked:

"What kind did you give me? I'm a little curious."

Mercer smiled and said, "You'll understand if you experience it yourself."

Asiya closed her eyes silently and began to feel a new power surging in her body. This power was extremely magical, as if a new organ had appeared in her body.

After a few seconds, Asiya opened her eyes and looked at Messer with a complicated expression.

Then the body shape began to stretch and change, and white hair began to grow all over the body.

In the blink of an eye, a huge white leopard appeared, nearly three meters in length, with mysterious gray-brown markings all over its body.

With a slender figure, a strong body, sharp teeth and claws, the extremely beautiful figure seemed to be looming in the treasure room.

The next moment, Asiya stood up, and her body shape changed again. Her legs were bent backwards, and she had a slender figure, white fur stripes, leopard ears and a human body. A long, strong tail hung behind her, and her ruby-like eyes stared at Messer in shock.

"Master Mercer, this is a mythical beast, right?"

Mercer smiled and said, "Cat-Cat Fruit. Mythical Beast Species. Mengji Form, what are their abilities?"

Asiya blinked her ruby eyes:
"Currently, I can only display one camouflage ability, similar to a chameleon. In your words, I can synchronize with the surrounding environment to hide my form and aura.

You see, it’s like this.”

The next moment, Asiya slowly disappeared from Messer's sight. Her body seemed to become transparent. Her figure was still in the same place, but the wall behind her could be seen.

The breath also became vague.

In the eyes of ordinary people, there is no longer anything in front of them.

Even through the most basic perception of sight and hearing, Moses had a vague feeling.

Has the effect of shielding perception.

However, from Messer's spiritual perspective, he could clearly sense the unique frequency fluctuations she emitted.

You can also sense the frequency fluctuations of a spirit.

Through the ability of camouflage, you can synchronize with the surrounding environment and discover a sense of disharmony in the surrounding environment.

Realizing that Moses was sensing her through his ability, Asiya stayed quietly where she was, allowing Moses to sense her.

Mercer walked forward and gently squeezed her shoulder. "Is it impossible to completely harmonize with the environment, or even become ethereal?"

Asiya's voice appeared, as if it appeared out of nowhere:
"I don't know, but I think it's because I haven't developed my abilities enough. I feel like this ability to tune in with the environment has even greater potential to be tapped."

"That's right, then you should work hard."

Asiya looked at Messer who was so close, blinked, and said softly:

"Lord Mercer, I'll let Asiya be your shadow from now on. Is that okay?"

Messer smiled and said, "You are a healthy person in every aspect. You will have an even brighter future. You are you, Asiya, not anyone's shadow."

Asiya pursed her lips and continued:

"My ability is very useful. How about I stay by your side and protect you from now on?"

"Come on, even though my family owns a newspaper, you can't really be a paparazzi, right? If you follow me around, then you're not going to give up on my privacy."

Messer smiled silently.

Asiya laughed and said, "Lord Mercer, I feel like I have another ability that seems a bit cruel. Can you take me to test it?

Just find a wild beast."

Messer raised an eyebrow, "Follow."

Asiya did not remove the environmental disguise and followed Moses to the top floor. Moses looked at the crow Dabao who was lying on the top of the Adam tree:

"Dabao, go outside, go to the forest outside, and find a wild beast."

Ya Dabao blinked and said, "Ga."

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, I watched Crow Dabao fly out of the underground library, come to the outside of Elegia Castle, and fly towards the distant forest.

After a while, looking at the forest below, Ya Dabao fell from the sky.

With his claws, he precisely grasped the back of a two-meter-long wild boar and flew into the air, then threw it down again. With a bang, the wild boar's leg was broken and it could no longer get up.

Come out of the castle.

Landing in the forest, Asiya's body appeared, still in half-beast form, looking at the wild boar in front of her:
"My ability should be able to enhance myself by consuming the life force of living things."

As he spoke, he walked up to the wild boar, looked at the howling pig, pressed the pig's head with his right hand, opened his mouth slightly and made an inhalation motion towards the wild boar's head.

The next second, nothing happened.

Asiya blinked, turned back and glanced at Messer, a trace of shame appeared in her eyes, and she said softly:
"I'm a bit unskilled this first time. I should make sure the target can't resist."

With a bang, he knocked the wild boar unconscious. The next second, he opened his mouth and sucked, and a light red gas continued to emerge from the wild boar's seven orifices and was swallowed into Asia's mouth.

As the light red gas precipitated, the wild boar's body began to shrivele. After the meal was completed, a wild boar mummy appeared.

Asiya licked her lips, felt it, looked at Messer excitedly and said:

"Lord Mercer, this is an ability that allows me to devour the vitality of living things. I can improve my physical fitness by devouring vitality.

This kind of improvement can be divided into temporary and permanent. If it is temporary, the improvement will be greater, and if it is permanent, it will be much smaller. Moreover, the vitality can be returned before it is completely digested.

like this. "

He opened his mouth slightly, aimed at the seven orifices of the mummified wild boar, and exhaled slightly. A stream of light red gas drilled back into the wild boar's body again. At the same time, the mummy began to become "inflated".

After a while, it returned to its original state, but it was a little thinner.

Is it loss?

"Then can this kind of vitality consumption heal your injuries? Or replenish your physical strength?"

Messer asked, and Asiya blinked and mummified the boar again.

By permanently digesting this stolen vitality, Asiya used one claw to open a narrow wound on her arm. Blood flowed out, and then her physical strength was exhausted and the wound healed itself.

Asiya closed her eyes and silently felt it.

After a long time, Asiya opened her eyes, her wounds healed, and she looked at Messer and said softly:

"Yes, Master Mercer. Consuming vitality can enhance self-healing and restore physical strength."

Mercer nodded and chuckled, "Devour vitality to improve your own physical fitness. Does it have any side effects on your body?"

Asiya shook her head: "Temporary swallowing enhancement is like gaining a temporary state of strengthening the body. It is by consuming external vitality as fuel to improve oneself.

The feeling of permanent devouring is very unique, as if only the purest part of the vitality is taken, and most of the rest will be wasted."

Mercer rubbed his chin, looked at her and smiled:
"It's a very good ability. Although it doesn't have any elemental attack power, it is the best and most suitable ability for you."

Asiya nodded gently, and then an orange-red flame suddenly ignited behind her head. The temperature began to rise, spreading over her body and gathering in her hands. Her red eyes were illuminated by the flames and became even brighter.

“Well, I was born with the ability of fire, so I have no shortage of these offensive methods.

This Mengji Fruit has brought me great improvement and can make up for my weaknesses very well.

Thank you for giving me such a precious fruit. Well, I don’t think you need to thank me. My life is yours.” Moses rolled his eyes.

Ya Dabao flew over and landed on Moses's shoulder. His large body completely filled Moses' left shoulder. Moses slapped him down with a slap. Looking at Ya Dabao, who was only slightly shorter than him, lying on the ground, he said speechlessly:
"Don't you have any idea of your age? You're almost as tall as me if you stand on the ground. Do you think it's appropriate for you to stand on my shoulders?"

The crow bird rolled its eyes and clucked:
"Why is it inappropriate? It's not like you can't carry the crow. The crow isn't heavy."

Then he looked at Asiya, "She's so strong now."

Mercer curled his lips and said speechlessly:

"Ashia was stronger than you before, wasn't she? She entered a flame defense state, and it's still unclear whether you can break through it."

Ya Dabao looked at Moses speechlessly.

"Let's go back to the library and read." Mercer looked at Ya Dabao and said, then looked at Althea: "Would you like to continue familiarizing yourself with your new abilities here or come with us?"

Asiya blinked, pursed her lips and said, "I want to hunt here to improve myself, and then I will come to you."

"Okay, let's go."

Mercer glanced at Ya Dabao, who was taken back to the castle and left under the watchful eyes of Asiya.

It was not until Ya Dabao flew out of sight that Asiya began to use her Vision and Hearing Haki, sensing the scent of wild beasts in the forest. She disguised her body shape with the surrounding environment, and in a flash, she went after the prey she had set her eyes on.

……

"Hello, beautiful lady. My name is Meloladen. Ever since I saw you in the vast crowd, I have been unable to take my eyes off you. May I know your name?"

At a desk in the corner of the second floor, Robin was quietly flipping through an ancient book. She had a beautiful profile, exquisite curves, and exuded a quiet and intellectual beauty that was unique to scholars.

The whole person exudes an ethereal and beautiful atmosphere.

Robin raised his eyes slightly and looked at the blond young man who appeared beside him with doubt:
"I'm sorry sir, I have a partner and we are not suitable."

This was already the fifth man who came up to chat with her. Robin was very annoyed. The young man looked embarrassed because he was rejected too bluntly.

Youth: "I"

Robin waved his hand to interrupt him, his face turned cold, and he stared at him unkindly, as if he could see through his heart:
"Put away those thoughts in your mind. It's impossible for us to be together. I'm not interested in you at all. Don't disturb me while I'm reading."

The young man's face suddenly turned as pale as a pig's liver, but looking at Robin's unfriendly eyes, he inexplicably felt a sense of fear in his heart.

He wanted to say something harsh, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only flee in embarrassment with his tail between his legs.

Robin rolled his eyes and pouted.

A few minutes later, a hand was placed on her shoulder. Robin's face changed, and then she turned her head away expressionlessly. But at the same time, a trace of helplessness appeared on her face:

"Where have you been? There are so many flies here, it's really annoying me."

Moses placed the Epic of Elegia on the table and sat opposite her to read it.

"If there are too many flies, just swat them away with one slap."

"He's just an ordinary person. It's not good to beat someone with a disability."

"Ruthless enough."

"Hehe, you think I'm cruel? Then just stay here with me and be my protector."

"Well then, if anyone comes to harass me again, I'll throw him off the building."

Robin: “.”

"I should say it or not, you're the more ruthless one. By the way, where did you take Asia?"

"Nothing much, I just gave her a devil fruit. She's out in the forest training now."

"She's so hardworking."

The two chatted idly, each looking at the book in his hand.

In the following time, there were no blind flies coming to bother us.

time flies.

After finishing a book, Moses returned it.

Messer stood beside a bookshelf against the wall on the first floor, tilting his head and staring curiously at a stone wall next to him.

The seeing and hearing color can sense that there is nothing behind it and that the wall is a secret door.

It was quiet all around.

No one else came.

As his breathing rose and fell, the "spiritual" light spots in the nebula vortex in his mind, which were neither real nor imaginary, began to shine.

Spiritualization.

His body floated lightly and Messer passed through the wall.

Next second,
A spacious rocky underground palace appeared in front of me.

This is the entrance to the underground palace.

On both sides stand two huge stone statues of giants.

Moses took a look and saw that the walls surrounding the underground palace were covered with many ancient murals.

People holding hands and singing.

People fought with spears.

The giant demon king wreaks havoc, using lightning, lasers, and whipping.
Looking at the walls one by one, Moses came to the end, which was a wall carved with colorful murals depicting crazy scenes.

Seeing and hearing colors see through the past.

A stack of yellowed parchment was found deep inside a compartment in the wall.

Demon King Music Score:

Totemjika

Sensing the extraordinary presence revealed above, Messer's eyes fell into thought:

"It feels like the legendary Seven Star Sword that possesses the power to bewitch people. It's also a magical and special creation."

"A unique object with a unique spirituality."

Concept. Spiritualization.

It can make Moses' body spiritualized, and after spiritualization, the size of the body can be made as desired.

Moses's spiritual body shrank and he passed through the wall. The next moment, there was a long corridor in front of him, followed by a series of doors. He passed through them one by one and finally arrived at a circular platform.

A stack of parchment sheet music was stored on it.

My feet landed on the yellowed music score. Looking at the black staff and the edge of the score that looked like a skull painting from Ukiyo-e, the score as a whole gave people a creepy and depressing feeling.

Messer looked at the music score at his feet, squatted down and touched it with his right hand, and a strange touch appeared.

"plunder"

The next moment, a large amount of merit was plundered, and at the same time, layers of black mist appeared on Totumjika.

The spiritual fluctuations rose and fell endlessly, and there seemed to be sharp, miserable howls and the harsh sound of claws scraping against iron sheets in the ears.

Of course, all these images and sounds occur from a spiritual perspective.

[Merit Points +50000]

With the end of the merit plunder, the spiritual power on Totumjika shrank significantly, giving Moses a feeling of uncertainty.

Messi sensed that there was still a faint amount of merit gathering on Totumjika, but he didn't know how long it would take to replenish it.

Moreover, the spiritual fluctuations on it gave Moses the impression that it was made up of a collection of negative thoughts.

For example: loneliness, sadness, anger, destruction.
"Oh, can't these cookie-cutter rags bring together love, hope, and the beauty of humanity?

The monotonous destruction, the demon king, the cursed holy sword, the destroyed world.

If only the world could be destroyed so easily."

Messi curled his lips and stepped on Totumjika:

"Now that all your achievements have been plundered, I want to see if you can still cause more damage."

Moses turned and left here, left this underground space, and soon came to the library outside.

I took an interesting book and sat down across from Robin's desk. Robin asked in confusion:

"You seem unhappy? What happened?"

"No, I'm quite happy."

"Then why are you making such a sullen face?"
