I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 212, Section 211: Adam Bird! Dragon Man! Home!

"Whirring whirring."

His chest heaved heavily, and his lips parted slightly as he breathed rapidly.

Her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and even her smooth, creamy skin had a rosy glow.

She exuded a faint floral fragrance.

Sitting in the hot spring, with his hands resting on the edge of the pool until his breathing became even, he looked up and stared at Moses:

"That's it. This won't do, and it won't do in the hot springs."

Moses savored the metallic taste in his mouth, licking his now-healed lips. Robin, seeing this, blushed and said in a panic:
Don't overthink it.

Mercer chuckled. "Now that you've taken advantage of the situation, are you planning to renege on your promise?"

With his arms draped over the rocky shore, leaning against the hot spring, Robin could see a spirited figure roaring silently through the misty water.

His eyes trembled involuntarily.

She was scared.

"I still have some work to finish, I have to go now, you can handle it yourself."

As soon as she finished speaking, her curvaceous figure surfaced from the water. She grabbed her clothes from the shore and ran towards the bank. Watching her flee in panic, Mercer shook his head.

With each breath, one merges with the surrounding environment, sensing the unique frequency fluctuations of all things in nature, and extracting what is useful to oneself.

All things interact and operate, and spiritual vision perceives the most essential frequency fluctuations of all things.

Once the distracting thoughts in my mind were cleared away, my body and mind quickly became clear and serene.

After a while.

I stood up from the hot spring.

The gray fog enveloped her body and then receded, and after changing her clothes, she appeared in a pair of beach shorts and a short-sleeved shirt.

The swallowing of gray fog in the engulfing space involves the application of certain spatial characteristics.

Although not the main subject, Moses can still use this to perceive the changes in space.

It devours and refines clothing materials, then reconstructs them as the gray mist coats the body.

"Perhaps we can create some unique fabrics in the future."

My thoughts started to wander again.

The gray fog swallowed the fruit platter on the shore, and Moses picked up a bottle and drank from it.

Using his Observation Haki to sense Crow Da Bao's location, Messer stepped out of the hot spring, put on his flip-flops, and leisurely walked towards him.

Before long, we arrived at a hot spring near the top of the mountain.

Mercer's lips twitched as he looked at his bird, which was lying on its back taking a bath. Its head was topped with a lush green canopy, like an afro. Its claws, which were raised to the sky, had unique tree ring-like patterns, and even its beak had a unique tough, woody feel.

As for its other appearance, it hasn't changed much; it still looks like a white-necked crow, but its current size is five meters long.

In this hot spring pool, which is more than ten meters in diameter, there is a slender white-necked raven about three meters long, lying in the crook of Ya Da Bao's outstretched wings.

The bird turned its neck, opened one of its closed eyes, and Crow Da Bao's eyes gleamed with joy as it looked at Messer and cackled strangely.

"Are you frightened by the new form of the crow? This crow is a plant form specially modified by the doctor using the operation fruit."

The ravens named their species Adam the White-necked Raven. Isn't that cool?

"Yeah, that's awesome. Mr. Adam, could you explain it to me? I'm really, really curious right now."

Ya Da Bao wrapped his wings around Ya Xiao Niu, flipped himself up, and sat cross-legged in the hot spring. No one knew how he managed to come up with this position.

Seeing that even his bird-like eyes had turned emerald green, Messer's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Things are a bit complicated. Let's go back to the lab and let the doctor explain it to you. There are some things that even I can't explain. Anyway, I'm in great shape right now."

A wing extended, and amidst the ripples in space, Messer was drawn into the space.

laboratory.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived here.

A 1.6-meter-tall girl wearing a white coat appeared in front of me.

Bright black eyes, long, slightly wavy platinum blonde hair, delicate features, and a faint, nonchalant smile playing on her lips.

"You brat, you're finally back. I thought you'd forgotten you even had a family."

The moment he opened his mouth, a familiar feeling washed over me.

Mercer's expression turned awkward. Then he saw a pretty girl with medium-length pink hair and round eyebrows. Her bangs covered the right half of her face, and her purple eyes held a complex look.

He waved and nodded at her.

I looked around at the laboratory, which had now become much larger.

The ground has a sci-fi feel, with a silvery-white color, and there are rows of columnar culture chambers not far away.

There are some unique creatures inside.

Some of them are strange orange-red seahorses.

Some of them have a pair of black wings.

Some are strange trees.

There was also a strange-looking, gray-black flying dragon that resembled a giant dragon.

Mercer rubbed his temples; the image was a bit too shocking, he needed to calm down.

But business matters.

Seeing Messer's expression, Kureha chuckled happily, "Feeling a little strange? Well, that's understandable, considering you haven't been home for over two years."

"Doctor, Mercer wants to ask about Raven. Raven, please tell us the reasons, the process, and the result. You can tell us then."

Ya Dabao looked at Meise and cackled:

"Well, it's just that in the past two years, Crow has found that his growth has slowed down and he can't keep up with the group, so he asked the healer to think of a solution."

Crow remembered that the IQ plant could trigger a huge evolution in organisms, so Crow took a special modification drug.

The crow finished speaking.

"Just like Da Bao said, the extraordinary evolution of those IQ plants was originally uncontrollable. However, you brought back Germa 66's superhuman bio-modification technology and experimental data, plus Reiju's actual physical data."

Through the control of the Surgery Fruit, I extracted a unique evolutionary substance from the IQ Plant. By cultivating different kinds of lineage factors, it can be directed to induce a unique evolutionary direction.

The bloodline factor that Da Bao chose to evolve from is the Adam Tree that we planted on the rooftop of our house. It took me almost two years to develop it, and now Da Bao possesses the results of my research.

"Can plants work too?"

Mercer asked a stupid question, because lineage factors are not only present in living things, but also in plants.

Kureha nodded slightly: "Although Da Bao is still evolving in this special direction, the cycle is too long."

My next plan is to extract the lineage factors from the Adam Tree and continuously inject them into him to provide him with sufficient evolutionary nutrients.

Hearing this, Moses understood somewhat. Then, he heard Ya Dabao say:
"Mei, do you want to know what abilities the crow gained after undergoing this evolution?"

"Identification"

【.】

"Crows now possess some characteristics of plants, such as photosynthesis, or the ability to take root and absorb nutrients. Even more amazingly, the wooden structures of the Adam Tree can now appear in the crows' castles."

It's about the same as what I identified myself.

However, it's not without risks.

Messer looked at Kureha and asked:
"After all, it is the evolution of different species, so there is also the possibility that this stupid bird will slowly evolve into an asexual organism, that is, a plant bird."

Bloodline factors are not simple things; they also have a corrosive effect, just like Erii's.

Kureha nodded and chuckled, saying:
"This involves the issue of different proportions of lineage factors in evolution. Through the surgical fruit, I can extract some unfavorable factors from the body."

The risks have been minimized; otherwise, I wouldn't have prescribed that gene therapy drug for him.

Of course, this is a completely new experience, and since Da Bao is willing to be the guinea pig, I won't refuse.

Mercer rolled his eyes at her helplessly.

But I don't think there's a problem. Kureha must have talked to him about the risks before the experiment.

Messer looked at Kureha:
“I have a new ability to devour, refine and perfectly fuse different substances together, just like Xiong Bao’s Swallow Fruit. You said I devoured and fused this Adam Tree with Da Bao’s living flesh and blood. Could you extract an evolutionary material that would be beneficial to Da Bao from this?”

Kureha's lips curled into a smile:
"That's what I was thinking too. I was planning to have Xiong Bao swallow the Adam Tree and Da Bao and recombine them when you got back, and then I would extract the materials to see what would happen. I didn't expect you could do it too. So, you two can do it together and I'll do the comparative experiment."

Ya Dabao cackled and laughed:
"Mei, if only you were a bird, I would definitely, absolutely swear brotherhood with you."

Mercer gave him a mocking look, because Crow Girl had also come in from outside.

At this moment, she glared at him sideways.

He is dominated by his wife.

Ha!
"what is that?"

Moses pointed to the winged dragon that resembled a giant dragon, and Kureha chuckled:

"The only successful clone created from the Thousand-Year Dragon Egg and Erii's dragon blood factor is just a mindless idiot."

"Those black wings are clones of Asia's one-winged creature. I asked her if she wanted them transplanted back, but she said she'd wait until you got back." "Oh! I see. I'll transplant them back for her later. With wings, she can fly. She'll be complete then."

"Do you still have any use for this dragon? If not, I'll take it and use it."

The dragon's body was grayish-black, covered with scales. It had a pair of grayish-black membranous wings on its limbs and shoulders. It looked ferocious, and its slightly narrowed eyes shone with a dark golden luster like lava.

It exudes a fierce and imposing aura.

Mercer determined that he had a C+ level of strength, but he was anesthetized and his joints were broken.

It was processed by Kureha.

Kureha waved her hand and casually said:
"It's not very useful. You can take it if you want. Leaving it here is just like keeping a peculiar specimen."

Mercer smiled and walked over.

Open the culture chamber.

The gray fog spread and engulfed everything.

Within the Devouring Space, the gray-black dragon, two meters in diameter, was devoured and decomposed, with its soul crystal energy and flesh essence merging into Messer's body.

At the same time, as he manipulated his abilities, Messer was able to clearly perceive that he had acquired a completely new transformation template.

The gray fog spread across the body surface.

The appearance has changed.

It has a humanoid dragon head, black hair, dark gold dragon eyes like lava, two gray-black dragon horns growing from its forehead, and a pair of gray-black membranous wings with a wingspan of three meters growing from its shoulder armor.

The robust, muscular human form is covered with rough, dark gray diamond-shaped scales.

Looking at his own pair of five-clawed, sharp, gray-black dragon claws.

Moses smiled with satisfaction. The increase in physical strength wasn't significant, after all, it wasn't a Devil Fruit.

Because the different physical attributes that emerge are based on Mercer's physical attributes.

Furthermore, Mercer discovered that this dragon was just an ordinary dinosaur-like creature, only resembling a giant dragon, and had no unique or extraordinary abilities.

Even if she has Erii's dragon blood genes and looks like a dragon, she is still the lowest type.

As for anything related to dragons or magical words, there's not even a trace of it.

However, it does have basic scale armor defense, and it can also fly.

With the flapping of his wings and the vibration of his muscles and bones, a gust of air appeared, and Mercer slowly lifted off the ground.

Unlike flying as a spirit, it feels like suddenly having a completely new limb.

It felt really refreshing.

Moses flew freely in the laboratory, flapping his dragon wings. After playing for a while, he landed on the ground and transformed into a dragon.

It is 2.5 meters long, which is quite small.

Squinting, he sensed the various blessings and abilities within his body. Gray mist spread and enveloped him, beginning to reshape his bones caused by the change in his form.

The entire skeleton was remodeled into a dragon-like shape, and the sickening grinding sound of bones constantly echoed within the body.

The body of all things operates, with the domineering energy and the frequency of the dragon circulating and circulating within it.

He manipulated the fine-tuning of his internal skeleton, transforming it to resemble a dragon more closely.

With a slight movement of its eyes, the remaining meteorite crystal essence and historical text essence within the Devouring Space were completely integrated into the pair of dragon horns on its forehead.

A moment later, in Messer's perception, a pair of tough dragon horns with a grayish-black steel luster appeared.

Her body shape changed again.

Dragon-human form.

It has now transformed from its initial robust appearance into a more slender and graceful form.

Without the bulging of thick muscles, it has a tighter feel, more like the tautness of repeatedly folded steel wire, and even the diamond-shaped scales have become delicate and smooth.

Feeling even more comfortable than before, Mercer's lips curled into a slight smile.

The gray fog dissipated.

A completely new form of combat.

"Tsk tsk, so this is your kind of fusion? It's really similar to Xiong Bao's ability, and your body structure is also very unique."

"Come here, let's have a full-body check-up, it's been a long time. Reiju, go call Erii and tell her to come back too, we can get checked together."

Messe sighed, canceled his dragon-human form, and lay down on the operating table. Kureha used the Op-Op Fruit's domain to thoroughly ravage him, truly dismembering him into eight pieces. Messe could clearly see his heart, liver, thigh bone, and spine. The scene was simply too beautiful to describe.

During the inspection, Erii returned, the little girl staring blankly at Messe, who was now being dismembered.

Kureha's blunt remark, "Don't rush, you'll be the same in a moment," almost scared Erii away.

Mercer's lips twitched as he instructed Ya Dabao, "Go and find Grandpa too. It'll save us from having to make another trip in a couple of days. Give him a full-body checkup as well."

He is very filial.

Soon, after Messer's physical examination, Kureha reassembled all the parts of Messer's body.

It was the little girl's turn.

He laughed out loud, which was rather unkind.

At that moment, Reiju walked to Mercer's side, looked at Mercer with a complicated expression, and whispered:
"Tiger, is that you?"

Moses raised an eyebrow and chuckled:

“You can call me Mercer. We met before in Loguetown; you were already an employee of our newspaper back then.”

“My name is Reiju. I’ve already given up that surname. Have you forgotten? He has already given it to you.”

I will never forget your unique scent.

You are that big tiger.

Moses raised an eyebrow, looked at her, and smiled:
"You little clever fellow, I don't have any special smell on me. Trying to blow me up? Germa's cyborgs don't have any special modifications to their sense of smell."

Reiju looked at Mercer with a complicated expression. "So, the genetic modification technology here is the one you got from Germa that time."

Moses looked at her and nodded. "Aren't you working as Robin's secretary now? And you have this side business too?"

Reiju's expression was complicated: "Well, in the month when I first came to the castle, there was a major physical examination, and my body was found to have a special structure by my older sister, Doriel."

She also had the genetic modification instructions left by her father, and "could not disobey his orders," which were then eliminated by her older sister, Doriel.

After that, I assisted with some experiments, of course, voluntarily. I also helped out in my spare time.

As Reiju recounted her experiences over the past few days, Mercer listened quietly, perhaps sharing these words with only herself, not with anyone else.

Not long after Erii finished her examination, Kara Daibo brought Garp over.

Looking at Garp lying in the operating room with a look of utter disbelief, Messer couldn't help but chuckle.

Reiju looked at Mercer with a resentful expression. "I'm talking to you."

Mercer laughed and said, "I've heard almost everything I needed to hear. By the way, when did you realize that Tiger was mine?"

Reiju: "I had my suspicions when I discovered that you had Germa technology here."

"So now? What are your thoughts?"

"Which one are you referring to?" Reiju chuckled. "Am I your possession? Sorry, I've already gained absolute freedom. So I refuse."

Mercer patted her head and laughed:
“Little girl, there is no such thing as absolute freedom in this world, only relative freedom. Also, you know too much, so you can only stay here with us from now on.”

Reiju rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "I'm not an idiot, and please don't treat me like a fool. When I first came here, Robin and the others thought I was a spy sent by Germa to cause you trouble."

Moses chuckled: "And then?"

"Time will tell. And now, I am the personal secretary of Mei Luo, the editor-in-chief of the Global Times, and this is the result."

"It seems you've been through a lot in the past two years."

Reiju thought of Sanji, who had been found, and also of all the moments she had spent living and training with them over the past two years.

Without realizing it, this place had become a warm and welcoming place, just like Sanji's.

This is home.

The man in front of them was the patriarch of the family, a powerful man who could easily subdue Germa.

As long as he stays here, the man will have nothing to say.

Seeing that Karp had finished the examination and had a bewildered expression, Mercer walked over and picked up the examination report to read it.

"Hmm, not bad, you're in great health. Just try to stay up less late in the future, you've been a bit feverish lately. What do you do at night?"

Karp's lips twitched, and he snatched the medical report without a word. He glared at Ya Da Bao in exasperation and said, "Send me out. Don't leave me any dinner tonight. I'm not coming back. Just have someone come find me when you leave."

Garp's figure disappeared amidst the spatial ripples.

"Méther, why didn't you come to me when you got back?"

A hurried voice came from the laboratory.

Moses turned his head and a smile immediately appeared in his eyes.
