I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 243, Section 242: Give him a single-person Demon-Slaying Order!
Garp and his two companions came out at this moment, and their mouths twitched as they looked at the scene on the deck. They had to admit that this kid knew how to control himself.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of Zefa and the other two.

"Oh dear, Mercer, that's about right."

Hearing Kuzan's words, Moses looked at Spandam, who was cowering as he got up:
"You've dirtied my deck. Clean it up for me."

"You," Spandam's eyes flashed with rage and fear. He wanted to say no firmly, but then he saw his father's eyes constantly gesturing for him.

With a frustrated and aggrieved expression, he said, "I'll go back and get the bucket and mop."

With a flick of his finger, a wet rag flew and landed on his head.

Spandam's eyes twitched as he squatted down with a rag to wipe his own bloodstains off the deck.

The work was done very poorly.

The more you wipe it, the dirtier it gets.

It's obvious he's lived a life of luxury.

Mercer said calmly, "If you don't clean it up in three minutes, I'll throw you into the sea. If you dare to lick it with your tongue, I'll cut it off."

Upon hearing this, Spandam's eyes immediately filled with terror, and he looked to his father for help.

It's like saying:

Help, Dad! I don't know how to mop the floor, please help me!

Spandam's eye twitched; he wanted to help, but was held back by his current position as the face of the World Government.

If I actually go to help, I'll be in big trouble if people find out when I get back.

next second.

A furious roar erupted from the sky, "Damn it, hurry up and wipe it clean, or you'll be dead!"

Spandam's eyes narrowed suddenly, fear finally showing in them, and his potential erupted.

They quickly cleaned the floor he had dirtied.

Indeed, people are often driven to their limits by pressure.

Moses glanced at it indifferently, "Get off my ship after you're done wiping. You're not qualified to come aboard."

He wanted to be angry but dared not, for once would be twice, so he could only slink off the boat in disgrace.

Spandam's lips twitched as he watched this scene, but there was nothing he could do, because not a single navy officer present spoke up for them.

I'll remember this grudge.

But he was also somewhat helpless, as there was no one present who he could afford to offend.

Even if it's Jiaji, he can't afford to mess with him; all he can do is say a few sarcastic remarks.

Suppressing his dissatisfaction and anger, he forced a smile and asked, "Can we begin the transaction now?"

It's called a transaction, but he's just a front man, here to inspect the goods. They haven't even discussed the price yet.

Moses looked at Gage, "Get Caesar out here, let's get down to business first."

Kaji looked helpless, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he was the only "little brother" in the navy here.

He walked over, grabbed Caesar's exposed head, and easily pulled him out of the water sphere.

Caesar was breathing heavily, his eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.

He hadn't experienced anything like this in many years. He was furious, but his eyes were clear at that moment.

The other party was too fierce, so he dared not be arrogant anymore.

His body transformed into a mist-like gas, suddenly floated into the air, and then returned to its original form, but the water stains on his body disappeared.

Mercer's eyes flickered. Nature type?

Looking at Moses with a fawning expression, Caesar said, "Swoosh. It was my fault just now, please don't mind. I'm here to assess the accuracy and value of the IQ data you have here."

Mercer said calmly, "Then you better watch your eyes later. If you dare to talk nonsense, I will definitely make you feel very comfortable."

Caesar chuckled dryly, cursing inwardly:

Damn it, I thought it was a lucrative, publicly funded trip, but it turned out to be such a dangerous mission.

I almost lost my life.

Seeing Caesar's eyes darting around, Moses's eyes flashed with satisfaction; he vaguely remembered this guy.

Greedy, lustful, and a bully who preys on the weak.

He was cruel, despicable, and shameless.

But their research capabilities are also undeniable; they are among the best in the field.

After all, they used to be colleagues of Vegapunk, Vinsmoke Judge, and Queen.

With a slight thought, Moses caused the large ship to float up and fly into the sky.

The three newcomers all looked surprised, with Jiaji staring blankly at Moses.

"This is... the power of the Float-Float Fruit?"

Mercer gave him an approving look, thinking, "He's a good straight man. You have good taste."

Kaji's eyes held envy; he couldn't help but speak out about this incredible ability:

"You ate the Float-Float Fruit that belongs to the Golden Lion? You're really lucky."

Moses didn't respond to him.

A look of shock flashed across Spandam's eyes. The Float-Float Fruit... This is going to be difficult.

Users of the Float-Float Fruit possess unparalleled mobility, making them among the most mobile on the high seas.

Moses said calmly, "When dealing with your World Government, of course I have to show my strength. Otherwise, what if I, a lone wolf, get double-crossed by you?"

His eye twitched, and Jia Ji was speechless with shock. This kid was getting more and more perverted.

They dared to fight the Celestial Dragons back in Alabasta, and now with the Float-Float Fruit ability, they're practically unstoppable, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

His danger and threat level is off the charts.

It seems that if headquarters has any plans for him in the future, they will have to think about it carefully.

After all, only Admiral Kizaru in the headquarters could catch up with a user of the Float-Float Fruit.

But can Kizaru really capture someone who can kill Shiki?
The headquarters and high-ranking government officials have already learned from Zephyr about his role in killing Golden Lion.

But now, everything is different.

In the midst of a brainstorming session, the large ship soared into the sky a thousand meters high and landed in a basin on the island.

Moses said, "The Golden Lion's laboratory is right here, and so are the data and experimental results."

Come with me, but don't touch anything you're not supposed to touch without my permission.

It flew up from the ship and drifted down.

Leading them into the spacious underground laboratory, Caesar's eyes gleamed as if he had seen a beautiful woman who had just undressed.

"Ahhh! What a beautiful laboratory! What's that? So beautiful! Ahhh, if only I could have all of this! Whoosh!"

A soft cough! Mercer let out a faint nasal sound, glancing at him with slightly narrowed eyes:
"Do you want to?"

Caesar's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly: "I want it, will you give it to me? If you give it to me, you'll be my father."

Mercer said indifferently, "I can't afford it. It's too ugly. I'm afraid I'll drown you in the latrine."

Caesar's lips twitched, and he looked at Moses with a resentful expression.

Upon entering the office area, Moses tossed one of the documents on the table into Caesar's lap, saying casually:
"This is just a part of the information and data; you can take a look."

Caesar's eyes lit up, and he began to flip through the pages with a rustling sound.

Wow! Incredible.

"Whoosh, what a brilliant idea! It shows wisdom second only to mine."

Holy crap!

"Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of IQ is this? I think it should be the source of evolution. Huh? Where did it go?"

He glared at Moses with furious anger, then said in a fit of rage:

"What happens next? I want to see what happens next."

My heart feels like it's being scratched by a cat.

A slight smile appeared on Moses' lips as his figure materialized in front of him in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, a fist containing unique frequency fluctuations and Conqueror's Haki-colored crimson arcs landed on his head.

With a thud, Caesar's eyes rolled back and his mind went blank as he flew backward. At the same time, wisps of azure smoke, as dazzling as the starry sky, emerged from his head.

Mercer waved his hand in the air, catching the azure smoke in his hand.

He flashed to Caesar's side and stepped on his chest.

The surging Armament Haki transformed into jet-black arcs of electricity that coiled around his body, sealing off his elemental transformation.

A few seconds later, Caesar regained consciousness in a daze, looked at Moses and roared:
"Who the hell are you? Do you know who I am? I am the greatest and most brilliant Dr. Caesar Clown. Get your filthy feet off me. I am a member of the World Government."

Do you know where you are? Punk Hazard, the territory of the World Government. An admiral is about to arrive.

"Let me go right now!"

Gage then approached Mercer, his brow furrowed slightly. "What's wrong with him?"

Mercer increased the force of his right foot, and Caesar's body suddenly turned into dark red gas, but he still couldn't escape.

With a powerful stomp of his foot, Caesar's sternum snapped with a crack! Caesar's painful scream vanished, replaced by a clear, tearful cry: "Spare me, sir, spare me!"

Looking at the azure blue memory smoke in his hand, a thoughtful look flashed in Mercer's eyes.

Without further thought, he shoved the smoke into Caesar's terrified eyes, and as he breathed, the smoke was inhaled.

Moses released his foot, and Caesar looked somewhat bewildered. A few seconds later, he moved away from Moses with a look of horror.

"Great- ...

Moses said calmly:
"Stop thinking nonsense. Even if you see the data, I can make you vomit it all out, and even strip away all your memories, turning you into an idiot."

Spandam, who was standing to the side, twitched at the corner of his mouth. He considered himself a smart man and felt that this guy was warning him.

Even if he's seen the data, it doesn't matter; he has ways to make him spill it all. Moses tossed another set of data to Caesar, "Take a good look. I'll need you to do a value assessment later. If you dare to spout nonsense, I'll kill you."

Caesar clutched his aching chest, looking at Moses as if he were a demon. Erasing his memories was worse than killing himself.

If his precious memories are no longer filled with them, what's the point of his life?

She gave Moses a fawning look, then moved a few steps to the side, trying to get as far away from him as possible.

Caesar diligently began reading the subsequent parts.

I dare not jump again.

Karp then came over and looked at Mercer with great interest, whispering:

"Mercy, how do you use that thing that can punch into someone's memory? It sounds interesting!"

Kuzan also came closer, his eyes also sparkling with interest, raising his eyebrows but remaining silent.

Mercer laughed and said, "It's very simple. It's just by imitating the frequency fluctuations when the Memory Seahorse uses its ability, and by interacting with Conqueror's Haki, you can unleash it."

Garp nodded seriously, Kuzan's lips twitched, and Messer looked at them and smiled, "It's simple, isn't it?"

Karp nodded to indicate that he understood.

Mercer grasped Karp's large hand, his breathing rising and falling in unison with his own, creating a unique frequency fluctuation between them.

The father and son are practicing spiritual cultivation.

After a short while, Caesar exhaled a breath of stale air, "A brilliant idea, with a very high feasibility. I believe that if this thing is successfully developed, artificial Devil Fruits will be nothing but garbage."

A priceless treasure, truly a groundbreaking product.

Moses glanced at Spandam and said calmly, "Did you hear that?"

Spandam looked at Caesar with a probing gaze: "Doctor? You're not mistaken?"

Caesar was furious, and his anger became elemental.

"What right or a complete novice like you has to refute the assessment results of a genius like me?"

This matter should be decided as soon as possible. The world government will never give up such a big project. If I can get my hands on this project, I will definitely become the greatest scientist in the world in the future.

Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

Spandam glanced at Caesar speechlessly. This idiot, he had absolutely no idea how to trade.

But I also learned the value of IQ.

If the mission succeeds, I will definitely get promoted and make a fortune.

He looked at Moses with a broad smile:

“Mr. Mercer, we have authenticated this item as genuine. What would you like our World Government to use in exchange for it?”

Moses grinned and said with a light laugh:
"Ten Mythical Zoan types, ten Logia types, ten special Paramecia types, plus one hundred billion Berries."

"Cough cough cough."

"Cough cough cough."

"Holy crap, are you crazy?"

"Oh my god, that's scary!"

"So much money! If it were all mine, Caesar's, slurp, slurp!"

Spandane stared wide-eyed at Moses in disbelief, as if to say, "Are you out of your mind?" He gave a dry laugh.
"Hehe, are you not being sincere at all? You'd better stop joking."

Whether there are actually that many Mythical Zoan and Logia-type Pokémon appearing on the seas right now is another matter entirely. And who can come up with 100 billion Berries?

You'd better be serious.

Mercer smiled and said calmly, "I'm all in good faith. You're not qualified to do business with me. Go call your superiors and have them speak to you."

Spandam's lips twitched violently, but at the same time he felt that he really didn't deserve it.

He took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket, dialed the number after about ten seconds, and said with a fawning smile:

"My Lord, Dr. Caesar and I have verified that it is genuine. However, there's been a problem with the transaction; the other party is asking for too high a price. Here's the thing."

Mercer watched him talk to the people above with a detached expression.

I was a little surprised that he could get directly to the emperor's ears; it seems those five old men also took this matter very seriously.

After the call ended, Spandam looked at the disconnected phone and then at Moses with a somewhat helpless expression.

"Please wait a moment. Those five gentlemen may need to discuss this further, since your asking price is a bit too exorbitant."

Moses smiled faintly and said, "I'll give them time."

Mariejoia.

Pangu City, Hall of Power.

Clean, tidy, and spacious.

Five middle-aged and elderly men sat on several luxurious sofas.

The Five Elders are the five publicly recognized rulers of the World Government, holding supreme power under the throne of the Heavenly King.

At this moment, one of the elderly men, dressed in a black suit, leaning on a cane, with a thick head of white curly hair, listened to the Den Den Mushi and his expression was quite interesting.

He is the God of Scientific Defense among the world's top power figures, the "Five Elders," and his name is Jaigolusia Satan Saint.

It's been so many years since this happened, it's really strange that someone is trying to extort them.

court death.

He stared coldly at an open document on the small round table in front of him, the front of which was a young, black-haired boy.

His name is Messer, his origins are unknown, but he is Garp's grandson.

He first came into their view when the Ope Ope no Mi incident occurred on Minion Island in the North Blue, where he crippled Doflamingo's forces.

The second time was in Alabasta, where he severely injured Shamrock of House Figarand, who was also a friend of Shanks of House Figarand.

A very strong kid.

Just like Barrett from over a decade ago.

The third time was this time, when he killed Shiki. Spandam just said that he also gained the power of the Float-Float Fruit.

It's a very dangerous ability.

Satan Saint looked at the other four beside him, his face dark, and spoke:
"That damn brat who was lucky enough to inherit the Golden Lion's legacy is making outrageous demands. What do you guys think? Should we give him a solo Buster Call? Kuzan Zephyr is there too."

Beside Satan, a bald, bespectacled old man with light gray skin, holding a long knife, wearing a white Taoist robe, a wrinkled face, a hooked nose, and thin eyebrows, spoke up:
“Satan, after all these years, you still have such a fiery temper. But when it comes to business, you can always bargain.”

He is Izambalon V. Nassuro, the financial god among the "Five Elders," the world's most powerful beings.

The remaining three Elders then spoke up.

"Making outrageous demands, huh? Interesting. He's young, but also a lawless person."

"However, since he defeated the Golden Lion, he must be very strong. He's not a pirate, so why don't you recruit him into your crew?"

"Let's forget about taking him in. It's better to eliminate this guy who dares to lay a hand on our great Celestial Dragons as soon as possible."

However, we still need to get our hands on that IQ, so I'll leave that to you, Nasujuro Sei.

Among them was Shepard X. Pitt, the blond, gaunt agricultural warrior.

Topman Vochuli Saint, a bald, round-faced, mustachioed legal warrior.

The tall, thin, white-haired, goatee-bearded environmental war god, Marcus Mazsa.

"agree."

"can."

"Then that's settled. But Nassuro, the transaction is your authority as the Financial God of War, but don't let him overcharge you."

Nasujiro nodded his bald head:

"Don't worry, but be prepared to spend a lot, since we have to get our hands on something as priceless as IQ."

After saying that, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number. It was answered almost instantly, and a fawning voice rang out: "Lord Five Elders, I'm here. What are your orders?"

Nasujuro Sei: "Give the Den Den Mushi to that brat."

Spandane hurriedly bowed and scraped, eagerly handing the Den Den Mushi to Moses.

A slight smile played on Moses' lips as he took the Den Den Mushi and looked at the image that had appeared on it, laughing as he spoke:
"I am Moses, and who are you?"

"You can call me Nasujuro Sei, the lucky little devil."

Nassou Sei's tone was flat.

Mercer shook his head and smiled, saying, "We all know the potential value of IQ. Without further ado, that guy just told you about my needs."

So, Your Excellency the Five Elders, what is your answer?

Nasujiro's lips curled up slightly:
“Your asking price is too high; it’s unrealistic and impossible.”

Don't try to take advantage of us. Be serious, I'll give you five Devil Fruits, plus 10 billion Berries.

That's enough. You should know when to stop.

Mercer's lips curled up as he looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand and smiled knowingly. A bunch of old idiots, trying to get something for nothing.

Are Devil Fruits the five common Zoan types?
"Do you know how many Berries I found in the Golden Lion's Treasury? It's a treasure worth a total of 10 billion! Are you trying to fob me off? If you're not sincere, then forget it!"

Click!

Mercer hung up the Den Den Mushi and tossed it to Spandam, who was staring blankly at him.

He stared blankly, bewildered, and terrified at Messe, then looked at the Den Den Mushi in his arms, feeling as if the Den Den Mushi had suddenly become unbearably hot to the touch.

That person was actually hung up on by the Den Den Mushi?
Is he really that brave?

What a young and inexperienced person!

The corners of their mouths twitched. Kuzan scratched his head, recalling the scene in the marshal's office more than a decade ago, and grinned, saying:

"The moves are so cool, just like Garp when he was young."

Brubrubru
Just then, the Den Den Mushi rang again.
