I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 208. 207. A. Let's go! Let's go outside and practice!
"You're using your Devil Fruit ability a bit improperly."

"what?"

Hancock, who was furious, suddenly paused for a moment.

Mercer sensed the unique power within his body in his combined state, and the several unique frequency fluctuations within him.

With a slight thought, and by mobilizing his abilities, a peach-colored heart-shaped energy appeared on his finger, sensing its ability to petrify everything.

Whether it is a living organism or a material substance.

Under the control of intention, the energy of love fluctuates, and the body interacts with that frequency fluctuation, circulating within the body.

The domineering aura circulated throughout his body, interacting and resonating with that frequency fluctuation.

A powerful, peach-pink flame rippled and spread in his hand.

Then, as the domineering energy circulated throughout his body, it enveloped his entire being.

An invisible domain spread out, and the ice beneath their feet turned grayish-white at a visible speed, centered on themselves.

Petrochemicals.

Not only the ice surface, but also the sea surface along the edge of the ice is petrifying and spreading at the same speed.

Within the unique frequency fluctuations, I sensed the power in my arm, and a grayish-white hue gradually appeared on my skin.

Stones are not all the same.

Some stones crumble at the slightest touch, while others are harder than steel.

Stone Skin Technique.

Its rocky skin, harder than steel, possesses a uniquely soft texture.

As Moses continued to use this ability to petrify everything, his understanding of the ability deepened.

This dangerous ability combines offense and defense, weakening opponents while simultaneously enhancing oneself. Once the body is petrified, the effect is permanent unless removed by another user.

Just like Yamato, who fought her earlier, he only used Haki to resist the petrification effect.

As for the power of charm, it is an ability to seize the mind of the enemy; in short, it makes people lose their minds.

The state of oneness with nature allows one to maintain complete focus and remain unmoved by external things, providing a great degree of resistance to both allure and Perona's ghostly abilities.

However, as long as a living being has emotions, how can it possibly maintain absolute calm and focus at all times?

Allure, on the other hand, is the ability to stir up various desires within a person's heart.

As for her inability to influence Yamato, it's simply because she has always been passively applying her abilities.

As for actively using it on others, Moses said calmly in his mind:

"You probably never actively developed this alluring ability of yours, did you?"

Synchronized with Mercer's consciousness, they witnessed together how their petrification abilities changed in Mercer.

Hearing this, Hancock replied matter-of-factly:
"Why should I take the initiative to flirt with others? Isn't it natural for people to be infatuated with me?"

"Your understanding is flawed. Seduction is not about flirting or behaving; it's about manipulating and influencing the mind. It's a contest of wills between opposing sides."

"The losers will be captivated by your abilities and at your mercy. But you just passively wait for them to take effect, never actively using them, which is a bit of a waste."

Hancock thought to herself indifferently, "It is indeed a bit wasteful, but I don't want to do it. It would be more convenient to just rush over and kick him."

Moses was helpless but understanding; after all, she was Hancock, and that girl was a barbarian too.

"I can hear you, Messer, you're cursing me in your heart. So be it, I have no intention of seducing anyone."

Understanding her thoughts, Mercer smiled. "Well, you can decide for yourself what you're capable of."

“Aren’t you unhappy?” Hancock said, “I’m being so willful.”

"If you're not willful, you're not Hancock."

"Hey~ Don't say that about me!"

Hancock's somewhat embarrassed voice echoed in my mind.

Sensing that his physical injuries had disappeared, the gray mist on Moses's body spread out, and Hancock's figure reappeared.

Stepping onto the petrified ice, Hancock was suddenly overwhelmed by a sense of loss and emptiness.

Taking a deep breath, she looked at Moses, her beautiful face full of seriousness:
"Let's duel."

In Kuja, strength is beauty. If you want me to agree with your idea of ​​starting a war, fine, but only if you defeat me head-on. Otherwise, I will never approve.

Having said that, he pushed off with his foot, taking a step back three meters, a peach-pink halo surging around him, and smiled at Moses:

"Thanks to you, I have learned another powerful technique."

Isn't it just combining the powerful Ryuo technique with Devil Fruit abilities? Is it that difficult?
"I am ready."

He stepped his right foot back slightly, ready to attack.

Seeing the stubbornness in her eyes, Mercer's gaze narrowed slightly, and a layer of gray-black swallowing mist enveloped his body.

With a slight movement of her feet, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Hancock's eyes glowed red, and with her Observation Haki, she predicted Mercer's movements. She raised her right leg and kicked Mercer in the chest with lightning speed.

Mercer lightly touched the ground with his foot and dodged to the side. At that moment, a smug look flashed in Hancock's eyes, and her right leg, which she kicked out, crackled with black and red arcs of electricity.

Thump! A foot landed on the ground, crack crack crack crack! Thud! The petrified rock layer and the ice surface below shattered together.

Hancock winked playfully at Mercer, "I know I can't beat you, but I won't lose either."

thump!
His body fell directly into the sea.

"sister?"

"sister!"

"Hancock"

Hancock's two sisters and their grandmother exclaimed in surprise. The three of them were completely bewildered, not knowing what was going on. As soon as Hancock came out, the two started fighting.

With ice forming beneath his feet, Mercer sighed helplessly and bent down to dive beneath the surface of the sea.

"Mercy?"

"Why did you jump into the sea too? You're an ability user."

"Foolish brat."

I heard their exclamations beside me, and as soon as they entered the sea, they swam toward Hancock.

Seeing that the girl wasn't struggling and was floating on her back in the seawater, he watched as she sank in his direction. He moved his arms and legs and came to her side.

He grabbed her waist and swam upwards.

Looking at Moses in front of her, Hancock felt a wave of powerlessness wash over her. Splash! The upper bodies of the two of them floated to the surface of the sea, coughing heavily.

Mercer said helplessly, "Don't do this again next time. As an ability user, you must remember your current status as someone who can't swim."

She was still weak, but she wrapped her arms around Mercer's neck and clung to him tightly.

Hancock rested her head against Moses' neck and whispered:
"You will come to save me."

I know, but you're not an ability user?

I won't do it again, I'm sorry.

As she spoke, Hancock chuckled to herself:

"Take me back to my room on the ship. I need to change my clothes. I feel very weak right now."

Mercer said helplessly, "I don't know your room."

"I will show you the way."

Mercer looked at the Nine Serpents ship beside him, grabbed her legs from underwater, lifted her up in a princess carry, took a light step, and used Moonwalk to carry her out of the water.

Using the Moonwalk technique, they arrived at Kuja's ship. Amidst the gasps of the female crew members, and guided by Hancock, they reached her room.

The room was simply furnished with a round pink bed, a bedside table, a dressing table near the window, a sofa, and a coffee table.

There is also a wardrobe in the corner.

Seeing Hancock clinging to his neck and refusing to get down, Moses laughed:
"Now you know how to be shy."

"My legs are numb."

Hancock's face turned so red it was almost bleeding, and a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz rang out.

Water was still dripping from beneath them. Mercer shook his head, his breathing rising and falling, flames rising and wisps of steam evaporating from their bodies.

I walked to the bedside and helped her sit up on the bed.

He sat down beside her as well.

Hancock kept her head down and didn't speak, but Mercer could hear the incredibly strong, pounding of her heart.

He reached out and patted her head, then Hancock looked up at Messer with teary eyes.

Her eyes slowly closed, and you could see her long, delicate eyelashes trembling gently.

Her fair, delicate hands crumpled the bed sheet.

The other party has already extended an invitation.

Seeing Hancock's alluring and shy demeanor, Moses agreed.

Slowly, I moved up to A.

When lips touch lips gently, you can feel that soft and wonderful sensation.

His heavy breathing hit my face.

Hancock's body trembled slightly.

With her red lips slightly parted, the residents inside came out warmly, and Mercer was about to step forward to shake hands.

Just then, the door to the room was flung open with a loud bang! At the same time, a worried voice rang out:
"Big sister, are you alright?"

Hancock was startled and leaned back dramatically, her curvaceous figure swaying violently. She immediately covered her face, which had turned blood red.

The two younger sisters at the door stood there dumbfounded, speechless.

Mercer pressed his left hand to his forehead in exasperation, feeling dizzy, and exhaled a deep breath.

His gaze calmed, and he looked at the two of them, saying, "Don't worry, Hancock is fine." Just then, a sinister voice rang out, "Kid, do your lips taste sweet?"

Moses glanced at Grandma Zagi as she approached from outside, raising an eyebrow. At that moment, Hancock, her face dark, clasped her hands together in a heart shape and faced at her.
"It must have been you who sent them over, Grandma? Sweetie, sweetie."

Buzz.
Waves of pink, heart-shaped light shot out, instantly piercing through Grandma's body and turning her into a stone statue.

He was forced to stand as punishment on the spot.

Having vented her frustration, Hancock let out a heavy sigh, her chest heaving, and glared unhappily at her two tactless sisters.

"Sonia, Gordes, this is a one-time exception."

The two blushed and nodded awkwardly, exchanging a glance and seeing the shock and embarrassment in each other's eyes.

With her good deed interrupted, Hancock lost the courage to try again. She coughed, and a hint of shyness appeared in her eyes as she looked at Moses.

"Oh right, I encountered Doflamingo a while ago, fought with him, and obtained two Devil Fruits from him. I'll give them to you now."

Feeling somewhat like she was fleeing in panic, she took out two Devil Fruits from a treasure chest under the dressing table and handed them to Moses with a blush.

"Here you go, this is what I promised you. The effects of these abilities are as follows."

Seeing this, Mercer suddenly felt like he was being paid for his girlfriend afterwards, and his lips twitched.

She didn't refuse.

[Logia Type. Snow-Snow Fruit (A)]

[Paramecia Type. Flutter-Flutter Fruit (A)]

Looking at the two fruits with some surprise, he thought, "Doflamingo is really something else; his ability to find Devil Fruits is truly impressive."

Hancock looked at Moses in surprise:

"Do you know him? He still owes me one. I asked for three, but he only gave me two. He'll give me the other one within a year."

"Yes, I know him. The previous user of this Flutter-Flutter Fruit was a member of his family, whom I killed back then."

I didn't expect him to find me again.

Hancock frowned, her expression turning cold:

"He has a grudge against you, so next time I run into him, I'll help you take him down. He can't beat me."

"No need. He's so good at finding Devil Fruits. If you run into him again, just extort him a few more times."

Hancock blinked, thought for a moment, and then a slight smile appeared on her lips:

"Okay, I'll do it your way from now on."

Moses looked at the two Devil Fruits in his hand, thought for a moment, and then looked at his two younger sisters:

"Do either of you have any plans to become ability users?"

Sonia tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't mind. Rather, I'm quite curious."

Gruud looked at Moses in surprise: "Me too. Could it be..."

Moses laughed and said, "That's right, you two can divide it yourselves."

As he spoke, he tossed the two Devil Fruits in his hand over.

The two of them caught it in a daze.

Somewhat bewildered, they looked at Hancock, who in turn looked at Moses with equal surprise:

"Why? This is what we agreed on, it's for you."

"You are a Shichibukai, which can be dangerous sometimes. Their strength is still a bit weak, but the abilities of these two Devil Fruits are quite good."

The two of them together exude a powerful aura.

"Eating them will make your two younger sisters stronger. And when they're stronger, they can help you even more, right?"

Hancock blinked at Moses, then suddenly blushed, lowered her head, tapped the tips of her two index fingers together, and murmured:
"Two younger sisters? Mercer calls Sonia and Groot 'sister,' does that mean she's already accepted our relationship?"

Glancing at her lost in her daydream, Mercer smiled and looked at Sonia and the other girl:
"You can decide how to allocate them yourselves, according to your own preferences."

Sonia looked at the Snow-Snow Fruit in her hand, which resembled a snowball, and asked Gordo, "Logia type, do you want some?"

Gorud looked at the fluttering fruit in his hand and gently shook his head:
"It was just luck. Since it ended up in my hands, it proves that I have a connection with it. I think the Fluttering Fruit is pretty good."

As he spoke, Gorud looked at Moses and smiled happily:
"Thank you, Moses."

Sonia laughed in return:
"Thank you!"

The two of them stuffed the two Devil Fruits into their mouths as if they were eating apricots.

Moses watched this scene with a smile, and Hancock's eyes were filled with joy as well. Then, she suddenly paused, looking at Moses with a pained expression:
"You confiscated the Devil Fruits again this time, doesn't that mean I have to give you five Devil Fruits next time we meet? Where am I supposed to find those?"

Moses glanced at her and chuckled softly:

"You can hide from me and come see me when you've found them all."

Hancock vetoed it outright:
"No, at worst I'll just keep owing it. When I really don't want to pay it back anymore, I'll marry myself to pay it off."

Sonia, who was experiencing her own abilities, pouted and complained, "How audacious! I don't think my sister wants to pay it back now."

The same was true of Gorud:
"Indeed. I think so too."

Just then, a commotion arose outside, and a female crew member ran over and hurriedly reported to the door:

"Lady Snake Princess, naval warships are coming! What should we do?"

Hancock's eyes narrowed, and she was about to speak when a crimson glint flashed in Moses' eyes. He sensed an extremely familiar aura from afar using his Observation Haki.

He rubbed his face helplessly.

"Don't worry, it's Grandpa who's here."

"Lieutenant Admiral Garp?"

Hancock was taken aback and looked at Moses with some suspicion: "What's your grandfather doing here?"

"Looking for you?"

Mercer nodded helplessly. "If I'm not mistaken, he's here to see me. Let's go outside and wait for him."

The group went up to the ship's deck.

Moses saw the dog-headed warship sailing towards them in the distance.

Sonia looked at Hancock, her lips twitching, and asked:
"Sister, why isn't your mother-in-law taking care of things? She's still frozen in place by you."

Hancock frowned, glanced back at the cabin, and sent a wave of pink light towards it.

Then he stopped paying attention to it.

Just then, seeing Garp's warship approaching, Messer waved to the opposite side, and Bogart at the bow of the ship smirked and shouted:

"Aren't you coming over here? Are you waiting for Lieutenant General Garp to come in person?"

With a helpless expression, Mercer used Moonwalk to leap across the air and landed in front of Bogart a few seconds later.

Meanwhile, Hancock also landed next to Moses.

He glanced at Bogart and nodded slightly.

Bogart looked flattered, but then immediately complained:

"Why are you here too? This is a naval warship."

Hancock snorted, "I am one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and a colleague of your Marines. Can't I come?"

Bogart's lips twitched. That little girl from back then was getting more and more domineering.

Mercer looked at his Vivre Card in Bogart's hand and smiled:

"I'll go find him."

Just as he took a step, Bogart reached out and put his hand on Messer's shoulder, his expression strange: "The old man isn't in a good mood. Be careful later, or you'll get beaten up."

Mercer paused, then stopped. "I won't go then. I'll go up after he calms down."

Just then, Garp poked his head out the window. "Aren't you coming over? Should I come and fetch you?"

Mercer said helplessly:
"Don't rush, it's coming right away."

Upon arriving at Garp's office, Messer naturally sat on the sofa, filled Garp's cup with water, and poured a cup of tea for himself and Hancock, who had followed him.

Moses looked at Garp and grinned:

"Grandpa, it's been a long time. You're getting healthier and healthier."

Garp sneered and said:

"If you don't cause me any more trouble, I'll be even tougher."

Garp looked at Hancock again, raised an eyebrow, but said nothing.

Just take it as the default.

"Hey? Why aren't you answering me? I'm a grown man right here."

At this moment, the peacock sitting on the other side of the sofa grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Hancock raised an eyebrow and looked at Moses:
"Who is she?"

Messer curled her lip: "The granddaughter of the Grand Advisor Crane, what a slacker."

Then, looking at Garp, she asked, "Grandpa, what's this guy doing here? Is he running errands for you?"

Garp sighed. "Let's put aside the little peacock for now and talk about you. Be a little more discreet from now on. At least wait until you have the strength to be a top-tier fighter who can withstand the seas before causing trouble, okay?"

Moses's lips twitched: "I thought you were going to yell at me."

"If scolding you works, then I can scold you more than nine times a day."

Garp was speechless with anger. "Did you hear that?"

Mercer: "I'll try my best."

Garp's lips twitched, his eyes twitched, and he rolled up his sleeves and stood up:

"Come on, let's go outside and practice. Grandpa wants to see how much you've improved over the past few years."
