I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 222, Section 221: You're mine, do you have a problem with that?

With each breath, I sensed the various blessings and abilities within my body.

As Mercer gazed at the indescribable, hazy "sphere of light" at the very center, a thought flashed through his mind, and the "sphere of light" disintegrated into rays of hazy light, scattering and merging into this "small world."

With the opening of this "small world," Moses discovered that he was now able to slightly interfere with this "orb of light."

In the blink of an eye, the "sphere of light" reassembled and then disintegrated into light rays that merged into the "small world".

Sensing that his physical and spiritual bodies were still undergoing transformation, Mercer's lips curled into a smile. He believed that when his transformation was complete, it would be the day he stepped into the world's top ranks.

The current bestowed abilities are mainly divided into four EX levels:
[Small World], [Body of All Things], [Spiritual Vision], [Free Breathing Technique]

Then there are three kinds of domineering power, plus "forging" and "unlocking".

Not counting those gifts and abilities that have not yet been truly manifested.

At this moment, all the blessings and abilities he possessed had undergone a small unification.

At this moment, Mercer felt a sense of comfort and ease throughout his body, inside and out, as if he had just regained his composure.

outside world.

Kureha was pleasantly surprised to find that Mercer's body was gradually regaining its vitality.

Even the cracks and fissures on the surface of the body are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Erii's deep rose-red eyes flickered slightly as she knelt down beside Messer, lifting Messer's hand and placing it on her head.

He stared intently into Mercer's eyes, his gaze filled with anticipation, completely ignoring everything around him.

Kureha looked at this scene with a sense of helplessness.

As her consciousness left the "small world," Mercer opened her eyes, her bodily sensations returned, and the first thing she saw was a pair of beautiful eyes staring straight at her.

Mercer's eyes widened slightly, somewhat puzzled, before a smile appeared on his lips.

Looking at the dense scabs on my arm, I knew without even thinking what had happened.

He gently rubbed the little girl's head with his palm and said softly, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

next second.

Erii opened her arms and hugged Mercer's neck, tightly burying herself in Mercer's arms, completely unconcerned about the bloodstains that had not yet dried on Mercer's body.

"Brother, I don't want you to die!"

Her delicate cheeks were buried in Mercer's neck, and a trembling, helpless voice came through.

Mercer embraced her, gently stroking her head, and whispered solemnly:
"Yes. I won't die."

Looking at Kureha, whose eyes were slightly red, Messer said softly:

"Sorry for making you worry."

Kureha looked at Moses with a deep, unsettling gaze, her lips twitching as she spoke:

"Give me a reasonable explanation."

"Just like when I peeled off that Great Bear King Devil Fruit that day, I peeled off, absorbed, and integrated all the abilities within me."

Sorry I didn't tell you beforehand.

The surgical field expanded, enveloping Mercer and carefully scanning her body. After a moment, Kureha raised her eyes and coldly snorted:
"There won't be a next time. You've wasted my precious time. If you dare to do this again, I'll tear you to pieces."

A haughty old woman.

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

Moses watched her retreating figure and smiled:

"Ok, I know."

Looking at Erii in his arms, Messe held her tightly until he felt the cracks in his body had completely healed, then smiled softly:
"Okay, I'm going to take a shower, I feel all sticky."

Erii looked up and nodded obediently, "Yes, I'll wait for you here, brother."

Mercer picked her up and placed her on the bed, rubbed her head, and then turned and went into the bathroom in the room.

With each breath, wisps of gray mist rapidly spread from the pores.

It devours and disintegrates the clothes on its body, then washes away the bloodstains under the showerhead.

Sending and receiving at will, all things fluctuate spontaneously and harmonize with itself.

It can be said that the state of harmony between man and nature has become his passive ability.

The frequency fluctuations of the various abilities within one's body are also controlled at will.

The water flowed over his body like a serpent, washing away the bloodstains and quickly cleaning him up.

Turn off the water.

Gray mist spread across Mercer's body, and he suddenly froze. That's right, everything in the Devouring Space had been thrown out.

Including one's own clothes.

"Eri, get me some clothes from my wardrobe."

Messer called out to Erii outside.

"Okay, here we go."

About a minute later, with a click, the bathroom door opened, and Erii handed over the clothes, saying, "Brother, these clothes."

Mercer took the door and closed it, but at that moment, Erii looked at Mercer expectantly:

"I want to take a shower too, help me scrub my back."

As she spoke, she began to take off her skirt. Mercer sighed helplessly but did not object.

……

Sitting on the bed, he wiped Erii's smooth, dark red hair.

Erii wore a cheerful smile on her face and hummed a lively little tune from the Uta Church.

The sun had cleared up outside, and the orange-red sunset streamed in through the window, shining on the two of them, creating a scene of unparalleled warmth.

Just then, a pink-haired head popped out from the floor, and Pepe's cheeks puffed out as she looked at the two people being intimate on the bed.

"Mercy, I was worried sick outside while you two were enjoying yourselves here. It's so unfair."

It popped its body out of the floor, flew over, and plopped down on the bed. It tilted its head to look at Mercer, then let out a sigh of relief.

Mercer ruffled her hair and chuckled:

"make you worry."

Perona puffed out her cheeks and glared at Mercer, giving him an adorable look that said, "I'm not happy, you better coax me."

Pinch her mouth and Mercer chuckled softly.

Perona pushed Erii aside, gently bumped her head against Mercer's chest, hugged him tightly with both hands, and her body trembled slightly.

He reached out and gently stroked her head.

Erii pouted slightly, looking at Pepe with displeasure. Messer pinched her cheek to comfort her.

A moment later, Perona looked up at Mercer and gritted her teeth. "You stinky thing, I really want to bite your face off. You always make me worry."

Mercer sighed helplessly, leaned over and gave her a light kiss on the cheek.

Perona froze, her face instantly turning bright red, and she began flailing her arms and legs in a panic:
"You, you, you, how could you just kiss someone like that? I wasn't ready yet."

Moses looked at her and smiled, "And now?"

"Eh?"

Mercer lightly bit her lip, looked into her vacant eyes, and released her immediately.

He pinched her cheek, looked into her eyes, and whispered:
"You're mine, do you have a problem with that?"

Peipei's eyes welled up with tears, her pretty face flushed red, and she lowered her head and whispered:

"What about Robin?"

Mercer said calmly, "I want them all."

Perona looked up abruptly, her lips twitching as she stared at Mercer's shameless remark, gritting her teeth as she said:

"Do you think she'd agree? With her controlling nature, would she really agree?"

"Yes, she agreed. You're the last one."

Moses felt that some things were better explained and clarified as soon as possible.

To avoid her finding out later and becoming unhappy.

Perona gritted her teeth and said, "I'm the last one to know? Who else is there?"

"Forget it, I'll go ask her myself. I want to see which mud cat dared to steal my things. I'll make her kneel down and repent properly."

Perona glared at Mercer, then transformed into a spirit and disappeared into the floor.

Upon arriving at the bar on the first floor, they saw that Robin, Makino, and their group were all distracted and looked worried, which immediately stopped the anger that was brewing in their mouths.

Because she suddenly realized that the worries in everyone's eyes seemed to be the same as her own back then.

They suddenly realized that their opponents were all of them, or at least most of them.

Suddenly I felt all alone and helpless.

Pepe muttered to herself, "No, I can't be a ticking time bomb. I can't beat them all by myself. Right, I need to find some help."

Looking at an empty wall in the corner, Perona flew over and disappeared into the invisible body of Asia.

A voice entered her mind, "Come out with me for a moment, I have something to ask you."

Stepping onto the deck outside, Asia asked casually, "Is Medea alright?"

Perona froze, then floated out of her body. "You like him too?"

Asia nodded naturally, looking at her with a puzzled expression, "Don't you like it?"

Perona's lips twitched. "Who else?"

"You should ask if there's no one."

"Then who isn't there?"

"The two new girls probably don't have it yet, but the rest of them almost all have it."

Perona was stunned: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Asia said calmly, "So you were the last one. How pitiful!"

Perona's lips twitched violently. "They're all a bunch of mud-covered cats. I was here first."

"So, you came to me just to ask me about this? What do you want to say?" Perona said with a dark face, "Let's form an alliance."

Asya chuckled, "Sure. Anyway, Runti and Yamato are definitely in cahoots, and Robin and Makino are in cahoots too."

The remaining Reiju is currently unknown, but she could be recruited.

"What about Erii? No, Erii is definitely in cahoots with Messe."

"Then it's settled. By the way, is Moses alright?"

"Yeah, that jerk is absolutely wonderful."

Asia breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Perona, thinking how silly the girl was.

Messer looked at Erii, who was blinking and staring at him, and smiled:

"what happened?"

Erii shook her head gently and hugged Messe's neck. "It's okay."

He gently stroked the little girl's head.

……

Coming down from the second floor, pairs of eyes stared at Messer with concern.

He laughed and said, "Don't worry. I'm perfectly fine."

Seeing that Mercer was full of energy, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Bepo patted his chest happily and said:

"It startled the bear; it thought you, Mercer, were dead."

The next moment, pairs of angry eyes turned towards him. Bepo trembled, quickly stood up, and bowed deeply in apology.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Xiong misspoke."

Luo muttered a curse in silence:
"You big idiot, why bring up something you shouldn't say? Be careful, they might beat you up and I won't help you."

Chopper whispered to himself:
"Luo, it's not that you can't beat them, is it?"

Luo glared at him angrily and said, "You think I can't beat you? You stinky cat, do you want to get beaten up?"

Chopper suddenly grew larger, grabbed Law by the collar and lifted him up, his sharp teeth baring as he roared, "I'm a reindeer, not a raccoon! Do you want a beating?"

"Negative Spirits"

At that moment, a faint voice came from behind.

"You're all making so much noise! ​​Get down on your knees, all of you!"

Ghostly dolls pierced through his chest one after another.

Law, Bepo, Chopper, and even Ace, Sabo, and Page One, who were watching the show, all knelt down on the ground.

He was uttering incredibly despicable words.

The position of the younger brother in the family is evident.

Mercer's lips twitched. He sat down next to Runti at the bar and looked at Makino:
"A glass of tequila."

Runti placed her hand on Mercer's chest, and after a few seconds, she chuckled playfully.

"His heart is healthy, so it seems he's really fine."

As she spoke, she put her arm around Messer's shoulder and patted her, "It's good that you're alright. You almost scared me to death just now."

Pepe watched with a wistful gaze as Yamato ran over, then lay on Mercer's back and reached out to touch his heart.

"Two female gorillas with horns have been identified as rivals."

Then, looking into Makino's gentle, affectionate gaze, the corner of his mouth twitched violently, and he thought to himself:

"This level is a bit too high, it's difficult to handle. How about we bring them on board?"

Asia watched Perona's little actions from the side, a slight smile curving her lips.

I feel like my home will definitely become a lot of fun in the future.

Several young, clueless guys silently got up from the ground without saying a word.

There's no other reason than that it's not shameful to admit defeat when you can't win.

Although the strongest person in the family is the man, the most capable people are actually the women.

Ace then shouted at Mercer:

“A woman named Hancock just called, saying she wanted to know about you. She was very rude, so I yelled at her. Then she hung up on me.”

Mercer's lips twitched, and she turned to look at him with a helpless expression: "How did you curse?"

“Idiot, moron, psychopath, etc., who told her to call me a bastard first?” Ace said smugly.

Yamato burst out laughing.

She was there too, but I didn't have time to talk to her.

With a sigh, Messer looked at Ace and said, "I'll teach you Haki in a few days. Your physical strength has already reached the required level."

Ace was stunned for a moment, then immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Great! I've been waiting for this day!"

Mercer sighed and looked at Makino. "What happened to my bullets, sword, and gun? Did Daibao take them?"

Makino said with a smile:
"Yes."

Mercer looked at Ya Dabao, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, and walked over.

Amidst the spatial ripples, Messer was retracted into the forging chamber.

Looking at his weapons and daily necessities neatly arranged inside.

The gray mist spread and engulfed the body.

As he watched the items being stacked in a corner of the "small world," Mercer sensed the difference between the interior and the space he had previously devoured.

After thinking for a moment, it dawned on me, "Does it possess the basic characteristics for biological survival?"

Gray mist spread out in front of him, and a circular portal of gray mist vortex appeared. Mercer stepped into it.

Shift of perspective.

Standing on the ground formed by condensed gray mist, he appeared here, constantly sensing his surroundings, and an instinctive intelligence surged within him:
"Now that we have the basic characteristics of the world, will my growth and that of the 'small world' reflect back on each other?"
The small world still has flaws; its basic concepts are incomplete. Does it need to be supplemented?

Earth, fire, water, wind, or metal, wood, water, fire, earth—these are the fundamental concepts of the world.

However, the "small world" has the concept of devouring, and can also devour everything stored inside it to grow.

Without hesitation, Moses left the castle and came to the outer deck, where he lay prone by the railing as the gray mist spread towards the sea.

At the same time, a large amount of seawater surged into the "small world," engulfing the gray fog. As time passed, wisps of aquamarine essence appeared inside the space.

"Identification"

【Water Essence (D+)】: A water element essence extracted from a large amount of seawater, it has an exceptionally abundant natural energy. It is edible and long-term use can improve physical condition and enhance affinity with water elements.

Gray mist spread from Mercer's palm, and a droplet of light blue water essence, about the size of a little finger, appeared in his palm without any strange smell.

One can sense the unique frequency fluctuations contained within this water essence, as if it were a concentrated essence of water frequency.

For Mercer, the concept of water has considerable advantages.

The gray fog formed a vortex in the seawater and continued to devour it, while the "small world" was constantly refining water essence.

The Frost Dew Sword appeared in his hand, and he compared it with the Water Essence Sword: "Hmm, the water frequency fluctuations contained in my Frost Dew Sword are more refined and active."

With his palm in front of him, the water crystal appeared before his eyes. Mercer opened his mouth and swallowed it, savoring the taste of the water crystal.

I felt a special moisturizing sensation, and after entering my mouth, it transformed into wisps of water element energy that permeated my entire body.

His eyes flickered slightly as he sensed the changes in his body. After a moment, he analyzed the situation and concluded:
"Just this wisp of water essence is enough to replenish all the water I need for the day."

Pure water elemental energy permeates the body, cleansing and purifying the physical form, subtly improving physical condition.

A slight smile curved the corners of Moses's lips.

It's getting more interesting.

"What are you doing, laughing so happily?"

Robin came to Moses' side, turned his head to look at him, and looked at him with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Mercer smiled, and the gray mist spread out, revealing a wisp of aquamarine water essence in his palm, gesturing for her to try it.

There was some doubt in his eyes, but he still leaned over and inhaled and swallowed.

Hmm~ A comfortable, soft humming sound rang out.

Mercer smiled, and the dozen or so wisps of water essence that had appeared inside the "small world" were swallowed up by the small world.

It senses the subtle, beneficial changes occurring within its small world and is slowly growing.

A smile returned to Moses's lips.

"What is this stuff? It feels even better than the life essence that Asia produced."

"What is it? Shall I try it?"

Asiya's curious voice rang out, and Messer handed her the water essence that had been refined again, which Asiya licked into her mouth.

The same soothing sound appeared.

Three minutes later, Asia's body reappeared, staring at Moses in shock:

"This thing can actually cleanse my body and purify the life force residue in my body. It's amazing."

"Residue?"

Asya nodded: "Even after being refined, the life force of other creatures will still carry the evil thoughts of the creature after its death. According to Sister Doriel, if you consume too much life force essence, your spirit and desires will become extreme in a subtle way."

"After consuming large amounts of food, I usually meditate and interact with nature to eliminate distracting thoughts and maintain my purity."

"But after swallowing that thing just now, I felt like my body and mind were cleansed, it was very comfortable, like I was freed from a shackle."

"Oh, there's such a saying? I don't know that. Looks like I'm the more knowledgeable one."

Asia rolled her eyes at Messer.

"how did you do that?"

Mercer chuckled as he explained how he extracted the essence of water from the ocean.

Robin's lips twitched. This guy is becoming more and more inhuman.

Can humans extract those kinds of elements?

"If there is water essence, does that mean there are other kinds of essences?"
