I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 251, Section 250: Compensation for Emotional Damages! A Continuing Conspiracy!
Mercer still seems completely unaffected.

The battle didn't last very long, and it was completely different from the battles with other monsters in the past.

It's not about going back and forth for five, six, seven, or eight days and then exhausting yourself with a lot of energy.

It's frustrating that he still has the energy to keep bombing.

Looking down at the abandoned port, a huge, bottomless crater had been blasted open, and water was already gushing out of the underground river.

"How terrifying! What are you planning to do? What are you trying to do?"

"Why don't you say something?"

Borsalino felt helpless when he saw that Mather was not saying a word, but just staring straight at him, and silently scanning his neck and heart.

It flew from the sky and landed on the edge of the deep pit.

He sensed the Sengoku soldiers, who were positioned in all directions and could rush over at any moment.

The levitation force spread out, enveloping the dark red, shimmering metallic debris in the deep pit.

That was the metallic ore contained within the meteorite sword.

Wow!
Like a tidal wave, streaks of metal debris floated out of the deep pit like a torrent, swirling and spinning rapidly around Moses, making a constant whistling sound.

Dark red, high-temperature flames erupted, enveloping and swirling around the smelting metal.

Ten seconds later.

A liquid resembling molten gold appeared.

It was like a fiery tornado swirling around Mercer.

Borusalino, forced back by the intense heat, stood at a distance watching the scene, his eyes behind his sunglasses becoming serious.

High-temperature calcination, continuous compression, and freezing cooling resulted in a red-hot alloy rod with irregular protrusions on its surface, ten meters in diameter and one hundred meters in length.

Moses looked at the big stick with satisfaction in his eyes, floated up, swung it, and smashed it down on Borsalino.

Boom!

The ground shattered instantly.

A golden light suddenly appeared from afar, its gaze fixed intently on Moses, somewhat puzzled:
"What do you mean?"

Because Mercer didn't seem to have any killing intent or fighting spirit, I didn't quite understand.

"Metal should be much harder than rock. This alloy rod was cast from high-quality metal from a meteorite."

The levitation ability was modified, resulting in weightlessness. The alloy rod circled around Mercer once before shooting into the sky and flying high into the air.

Admiral Kizaru's eye twitched. Replenishing ammunition right in front of him?

And what about a metal pillar falling from 10,000 meters, or even higher? Are you trying to destroy the world?

One shot would easily destroy a small island, right?

If you lack technical skills, you can make up for it with ability. In the future, you can combine and intertwine various conceptual forces, creating a visually stunning effect.

A smile played on her lips. Moses looked up at the sky, then at him, her face beaming with pleasure.

"Ten Devil Fruits, and I'm a law-abiding citizen. Isn't it a bit much to define me as a pirate?"

I demand compensation for emotional distress.

This is a fine for the Five Elders betraying me. Go ask them if they are satisfied with the outcome.

Borsalino gave Mather a deep look, then vanished in a flash of golden light.

Moses looked around at the devastation; it could no longer be called ruins.

After a while,
Sengoku walked over, and Messer looked at him indifferently at his current miserable state, noticing that Messer still maintained the demeanor of a dragon.

The Warring States period began with a complex expression:
"Ten Devil Fruits is impossible; the World Government's reserves are already depleted. The remaining stock has already been traded to you."

Messer simply looked at him calmly, while a hint of humiliation flashed in Sengoku's eyes.

For the first time, for the first time ever.

"If the World Government doesn't have it, does that mean your navy doesn't have it either?"

Mercer chuckled.

A look of astonishment flashed across Zhan Guo's eyes. How could he dare to do that? But then he thought about the battle just now, and it seemed that he really did dare.

Previously, they had always been the dominant party, but now a sense of helplessness flashed in the eyes of the Warring States period:

"One billion Berries, this is your compensation. One billion Berries. One billion Berries is just enough to buy ten Devil Fruits."

Moses's gaze turned cold.

Sengoku sensed a murderous intent, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

I get the feeling that this guy has a lot of opinions about me.

Whether it was the special attention they received just now, or the murderous intent they now harbor towards them.

Looking at Moses with some confusion, she said, "Have I offended you in any way? I feel like you have a lot of grudges against me."

Moses said calmly, "How could I dare? You are the Fleet Admiral, the future Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, and the future Five Elders."

Who told this guy to have struck the hardest before?

Zhan Guo's lips twitched violently. If this label were put on someone's head, then even if it wasn't shit, it would still look like shit.

The former is something we can still look forward to, but the latter is something I dare not even think about.

He glared at Moses with a dark expression, gritting his teeth as he asked, "How much do you want?"

Moses' gaze fell into thought. Now that he and the Five Elders were officially enemies, it seemed inevitable that they would both try to completely destroy each other in the future.

They probably won't go through with aiding the enemy, so what can they do since they can't kill us right now?

"Two hundred billion Berries, three Paramecia-type Devil Fruits. If you agree, I'll leave; otherwise, let's continue the war."

Mercer knew that they could definitely afford this small amount of money, and they were really trying to squeeze out as much as they could.

Sengoku left with a dark expression.

Moses used his Observation Haki to see Sengoku meet the Five Elders, with three generals guarding him. That was quite a show of power.

With synchronized breathing, Mercer relieved his physical fatigue, and the water essence continuously nourished his body. Although the fight was short, his mind remained highly focused.

Sensing the scene of them talking together, their faces were incredibly gloomy.

In the ruins far from the meteorite crater, five powerful figures, each with a different appearance and resembling a ghost, ready to fight at any moment, are currently present. Sengoku is reporting to them.

After listening, all five fell silent.

Vochuli: "Are we just going to give in like this? If we all gang up on him, we can wear him down even if it's just a matter of time. There's no such thing as immortality in this world."

He immediately shut his mouth at this point, showing how much he was sensitive about it.

Satan glanced at Sengoku and gestured for him to leave. Sengoku sighed helplessly; he was just a high-level employee and not exactly a core member of the group.

After Satan saw him leave, his gaze turned cold: "I didn't expect that guy to be D. Fortunately, we forced him to show his strength this time, otherwise, if he had been hiding like a rat, he would have posed a greater threat to us."

Maz's eye twitched:

"He had to die; I've never been tortured like that before."

Let's go kill him right now.

They were spouting harsh words, but at that moment, all five of them looked like disheveled and ragged beggars.

The other four ignored what he was saying at that moment.

A few seconds later, Nasujiro said:
"Not yet. We don't have a better way to deal with the power of his Float-Float Fruit. We need to find a way to counter his Float-Float Fruit ability, such as the Gravity Fruit or the Attraction Fruit?"

Pitt: "I've heard that there's a blind powerhouse on the high seas, what's his name again, Blind Swordsman or something? He's a user of the Gravity Fruit."

Satan: "After that, we sent people to make contact and recruit them."

Vochuli: "What if he doesn't want to?"

Maz: "Then destroy him."

At that moment, Nasujuro said expressionlessly:

"What do you think of the request that Zhan Guo mentioned earlier, that brat?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent again, a chilling killing intent and a helpless rage brewing within them.

Ten seconds later,

Maz said quietly, "No one can guarantee that he won't go to Mary Geoise and cause trouble. That lord is still there."

Vochuli cried out in hatred, "Damn it!"

Satan narrowed his eyes. "Then give it to him. This is just the calm before the storm. When we have everything ready, it will be time to execute him."

Nasujuro: "What kind of Devil Fruit should I give him? Will something too ordinary appease him?"

Vochuli: "Then give him something that doesn't actually improve his combat ability, something supportive. I just discovered that he seems to have some regenerative abilities as well."

His impact could cause rebound damage; he clearly felt the damage bounce back just now, but he only felt discomfort for a moment.

Upon hearing his words, the other four people's expressions changed immediately, and they all realized what he meant.

Indeed, they must possess a certain regenerative ability or other self-healing ability; otherwise, ordinary top-tier combatants wouldn't be able to withstand them for so long.

His eyes became deep and profound.

Satan: "I don't know if he still has any other unused abilities."

Therefore, in preparation for his future execution, I have decided to send CP agents to infiltrate his territory.

We're trying to gather information about him; we still know very little about him.

Pitt looked helpless: "But he hasn't built up any power yet, so we can't find him accurately."

A smug glint flashed in Satan's eyes: "It doesn't matter. A restless person like D will never be content with the status quo."

After this incident, he will definitely be very proud. Power, wealth, fame—he only lacks the last one now.

Every human being has weaknesses.

The other four nodded in agreement; those at the top of the world understood human nature very well.

"Then let's decide."

"agree."

"can."

"no problem."

"By the way, what about the bounty on him?" "Anyway, it hasn't been officially announced yet, so let's leave it at that for now. We shouldn't provoke him or give him another reason to blackmail us."

"That wretched brat, I'll grind him to dust when the time comes."

"I want to make him wish he were dead, I want to burn his insides with flames."

"By the way, where will we trade with him next?"

Satan said calmly, "Just say that we need to raise working capital, and then have him go to the Navy Headquarters to make the deal with Sengoku."

Will the Warring States agree?

"He just needs to follow orders."

"That's right. The navy is just a facade for us, as long as they follow orders."

"That's right, they have no right to interfere with our decisions."

……

The Warring States period has begun again.

He looked up at Moses expressionlessly and said:
"They've agreed to your terms. The transaction will take place at Naval Headquarters in a day. Be there on time."

On a stone statue a hundred meters high, Moses sits cross-legged.

The statue is none other than Satan, but he is kneeling on the ground with his hands behind his head, looking ingratiating.

Since Messer had nothing better to do, he used the time to practice his levitation and control abilities. Sengoku looked at the stone statue and thought to himself: I didn't see it, I'll just tell him when I get back.

Moses shook his head: "Have Kuzan bring men to Sabaody Archipelago to find me a day later."

Having said that, Moses said no more, floated into the sky, and flew towards Mary Geoise.

Zhan Guo's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly ran over. A moment later, accompanied by a series of angry roars, a dazzling golden light shot out and chased after him.

Moses, flying high in the sky, looked down at Mary Geoise and laughed at the guy a hundred meters away:
"Tell me, if I threw that big iron rod at the place where the Celestial Dragons live, wouldn't you be very happy?"

Borsalino's eyes widened slightly, and a bead of cold sweat immediately trickled down his forehead:
"That's terrifying. If you did that, the world would absolutely go crazy."

Moses looked at him and smiled faintly:
"You seemed excited just now, do you agree with that?"

He said in a strange tone:
"I was shocked, not excited. The Celestial Dragons are the gods of the world, and gods never die."

Mercer laughed, "I don't believe it. I'll have to try and see if they die."

Borsalino's eyes suddenly widened, and golden light emanated from his body.

But the next moment, Moses flew over Mary Geoise high in the sky.

He was dumbfounded.

Using my perception of the upper senses, I didn't detect any sense of danger.

So, this kid is making fun of himself. He's a little annoyed, thinking he'd be seeing a truly spectacular view.

The screams of the Five Elders were quite satisfying to hear.

It would be even better if I could hear the Celestial Dragons' cries of agony again.

pity.

They transformed into golden specks of light and caught up with Moses.

Like a guard.

Before long, the two crossed the Red Earth and arrived above Marineford.

Mercer stopped and looked down at the port, the headquarters building, and the residential area behind it.

"Won't you invite me over for a meal and a cup of tea? I'm so tired and hungry right now."

Borsalino's lips twitched. "You're a thoroughly dangerous person. This isn't convenient."

"Then I'll throw my big stick down."

Borsalino's lips twitched, and he was speechless.

A moment later, in the officers' private room on the third floor of the Naval Headquarters restaurant.

A variety of delicious foods were served.

Mercer and Pepe sat together, while Borsalino sat opposite them with a helpless expression, watching the two of them happily eating and drinking.

You can feel the food turning into a warm current circulating in your body after you eat it.

It can eliminate fatigue, restore physical strength, and also help improve physical fitness.

These were all determined through "identification".

Although physical improvement is useless to me now.

But it's delicious.

No wonder the backbone of the navy has never been interrupted; this is the foundation, the foundation of everything from food and clothing to housing and transportation.

Mercer smiled and took the pastry:

"Pepe, have this. This cream puff tastes great. It's soft, fragrant, sweet but not cloying, and has a strong milky flavor."

Pepe smiled brightly, licked the cream off her lips, and picked up a piece of meat patty: "You should have this too. This sea king-themed fried meat patty tastes pretty good too."

Messer opened his mouth and took a big bite of the steak, while Kizaru across from him couldn't help but turn pale as he watched the two of them showing off their affection right in front of him.

Mercer chuckled as he ate his fried pork cutlet:
"Old Huang, the food in your navy's mess hall is pretty good. You can tell it has a unique recipe."

"Bring me one later."

Old Huang's mouth twisted in anger:
"Who is Old Huang? You can call me Borsalino, or Kizaru, or Admiral, but don't call me whatever you want."

Besides, how could I possibly give you the recipe? That's a closely guarded secret of our navy.

"Not free, huh? I'll pay 300 million Berries to buy these nutritional recipes from your headquarters cafeteria."

Old Huang's lips twitched. There was quite a lot, but this really couldn't be told to outsiders.

"That's really impossible."

"Five hundred million Berries, that's the most I can do. Otherwise, I'll just go to Mary Geoise and ask those five old men for it directly. Then your navy won't have a single Berry left."

Besides, this technology isn't unique to your navy.

I just happened to be there.

Old Huang thought for a moment, then grinned crookedly:
"make a deal."

Moses laughed and said, "It's a pleasure to do business with you. The amount of peculiarities we traded will be deducted from tomorrow's compensation payment. Just give me 19.5 billion peculiarities then."

The 500 million pegories was an unexpected bonus.

This is the real Pelé.

I imagine the Warring States Marshal wouldn't refuse such a thing.

"By the way, as far as I know, there are at least 99 similar dietary supplement recipes. When we make the transaction, there must be at least 110 of them, otherwise I won't accept it."

Old Huang's mouth opened slightly, his eyes showing helplessness:
"We've run into an expert."

After saying that, Mercer ignored him and ate all sorts of delicious food. An hour later, she took a tissue and wiped her mouth.

Pepe held a cup of hot cocoa in her hands, sipping it slowly, her eyes filled with joy as she watched Mercer eat.

This kind of situation between the two of them is rare, and Peipei suddenly covered her mouth and laughed happily:
"Hello, Mercer, let's go shopping in Sabaody later. I want to go to the amusement park; I've never been before."

"Okay, we'll go in a bit."

Upon hearing Mercer's agreement, Pepe's face lit up with a bright smile, and her mood noticeably improved.

Old Huang grimaced. "Amusement parks, huh? They really are places only kids like to go."

Unlike him, he has never taken a pretty and cute girl with him.

I'm not envious at all.

People's lives are just different.

After dinner.

Mercer took Pepe away to the Sabaody Archipelago for a relaxing getaway, where they tried every single ride on the amusement park rides.

Even at 8 p.m., the two were still strolling around the food street, eating all kinds of delicious food.

Holding a pink bear-shaped cotton candy in her right hand, Peipei pinched off the bear's face with her left hand and put it in her mouth, a happy smile on her face.

"Mercy, eat this bear ear."

He handed it over, holding it by the bear's ears. Moses looked at the drool still clinging to her fingers and said with disgust:

"I'm not eating what's on your hand because it's drooly. I want to eat what's imported."

Peipei's eyes widened in surprise, her pretty face instantly turning bright red. "You, you, you... I'm ignoring you."

Stomping his feet, he hurriedly turned his head away.

Moses looked at her in surprise; she actually understood.

It seems those books weren't a waste of time.

This girl is quite knowledgeable.

He patted her head, and soon the two arrived at a high-end hotel.

Looking at the luxurious bed in front of her, Peipei's ears turned red.

Moses then rubbed her head and said with a smile, "I'm going out for a bit, I might be back a little late. You've had a long day, so you should rest first."

Perona was taken aback. "I've already prepared everything, and now you're leaving?"

With a dark face and grinding his teeth, he said in dissatisfaction:

"Then you should leave. It's best if you don't come back tonight."

Mercer chuckled softly, walked up to her, lifted her chin, looked at the soft lips before her, and lowered his head.

Peipei's eyes widened little by little.

A moment later, lying in bed, my mind went blank due to lack of oxygen, and my spirit was completely empty.

I sensed that the fluctuations in Messer's spirit body had disappeared.

He licked his slightly swollen lips, feeling the slight pain in his chest, and a smile curved his lips.

Shameless.
