I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 252, Section 251: The Power of Emotions!
night sky.

Moses stood upright in the heavens.

The stars shone brightly in the night sky, and the entire sea shimmered with a silvery light.

Directly below, in the sea, stands a concentric, iron-gray building—Imperial City, also known as the world's largest prison.

Impelton.

Several warships were docked in the port, and the massive outer walls were densely packed with cannons, brightly lit.

At every corner of the outer city wall, there were patrolling guards with guns on their hands.

"Is the main prison building inside only accessible by the drawbridge connecting the port? There's seawater flowing between the inside and outside, and those seawater, which resembles a moat, must be teeming with ferocious sea monsters."

This prison was built in the doldrums.

There is no wind in the sky above the doldrums, and even ordinary birds cannot fly over them.

Beneath the surface lies the nest of large sea monsters.

Even fish-men generally cannot get close to it.

Beyond the calm zone lies a massive whirlpool current.

Apart from special ocean current paths, it is impossible to enter from other places.

Furthermore, this path is still controlled by the Navy Headquarters.

No wonder it can be called an impregnable fortress.

Only Shiki, with his Float-Float Fruit powers, could achieve that level of skill.

Hmm, Kaido would be fine too.

Spiritualization.

It flew down from the sky, its body blending in with the surrounding environment to disguise itself.

Moses passed through the walls as easily as if he were in his own home, and entered Impel Down.

Gloomy, terrifying, and oppressive!
The surrounding prison environment gave Moses this feeling and atmosphere; in his perception with Observation Haki, it was filled with all sorts of negative emotions.

Sadness, pain, anger, madness, negativity, optimism? Joy? Contentment?

I feel a bit lost!

Could someone be having a party inside?

First layer, omitted.

The second layer is omitted.

The third and fourth floors, omitted.

The fifth level is the extreme cold hell.

A vast expanse of ice and snow stretched before my eyes, and from afar, I could hear the howling of snow wolves devouring carcasses.

The entire Impel Down is comparable to an island.

Each floor we passed through had its own unique environment.

Especially on the upper level, there is a scorching lava zone.

There, Moses discovered Warden Magellan, a very dangerous fellow.

Compared to the more dangerous Venom-Venom Fruit ability, especially in a confined environment, it makes him a natural-born jailer.

Although his strength rating is B+, if he relies on his Devil Fruit ability, even an Admiral would probably have a hard time defeating him here.

They had a significant advantage in terms of terrain.

Crack! A sound of breaking came from under his feet. Mercer looked down and saw half of the gnawed ice sculpture arm standing there.

"As expected of the extreme cold hell, it is indeed extremely cold. In terms of temperature, it must be over minus thirty degrees Celsius."

Because of the low temperature, there were no monitoring Den Den Mushi on this floor, and the creature exhaled wisps of cold air as it breathed.

Concept: Freezing.

The body harmonizes with its surroundings.

The terrifying freezing air spread out, and the surrounding temperature continued to drop at a visible rate, reaching minus one hundred degrees Celsius.

Everything around turned into an ice field, and the entire fifth level became a true ice and snow hell. As he walked along, countless soul crystals, large and small, floated over and were swallowed by the gray mist on Mercer's body.

The highest grade is C+, and the lowest is D+.

In terms of quality, it can be described as excellent.

After absorbing thousands of soul crystals, it didn't make a ripple on Messer at all.

Moses materialized and sank into the ground. After walking dozens of meters, he arrived at the sixth level of the Great Prison through the ceiling.

Infinite hell.

Every ten meters, there is a monitoring Den Den Mushi on the ceiling, and directly above each cell, there is also a Den Den Mushi that monitors in real time.

In the spacious corridor, there are also huge, self-moving surveillance Den Den Mushi (snail-shaped insects).

The situation here is fed back to the monitoring room above in real time.

However, it's unclear what its function is.

The Conqueror's Haki is enough to stun these little cuties.

Following the rhythm of his surroundings, Mercer walked through the spacious corridor, moving as swiftly as the wind yet silently.

Identify, identify, identify.
Before long, outside a special cage, inside was a man in his forties or fifties wearing a helmet with only one bull horn, frozen in a huge block of ice.

Bondi Wald.

The man known as the destroyer of the world.

The body passed through the cage.

Upon reaching him, a terrifying mental pressure swept out in the next moment.

At the same time, all the Den Den Mushi (snail phones) on the sixth floor of the building went into hibernation.

The terrifying aura was like water droplets falling into boiling oil, creating huge ripples here.

A series of angry roars, like those of a night owl, rang out.

"Who is it! Who's using Conqueror's Haki like that? Are they looking for death?"

"Just because you think you have it?"

"Huh? Unfamiliar Conqueror's Haki, who is it? Has a newcomer arrived? It seems the seas have been quite lively these past twenty years."

"Tch! Just another unlucky guy getting ganged up on by the Navy's righteous cause."

"Instead of recklessly unleashing Conqueror's Haki, you should save your energy for physical training. Utterly foolish!"

"Interesting, another new companion has arrived? Mruhoho. I wonder if it's a boy or a girl, I hope it's a beauty."

A noisy sound is coming from here.

Moses glanced around calmly. He had come here to find suitable Devil Fruits, a process known as "stocking up"!
Bondi Wald, Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the power of Multiply-Multiply Fruit.

The gray mist spread out, enveloping his body, his left hand pressed against the frozen surface, and a bone-chilling cold emanated from it.

To continuously cool the ice cubes.

Suddenly, his eyes, which were frozen in ice, snapped open, and a burst of violent rage erupted from them.

However, the water in his body quickly froze into ice. When he tapped the ice with his index finger, a ripple spread out, the force penetrating through him.

Click!

The ice inside shattered its heart!

dead!
The gray mist devoured the Devil Fruit power and a B-grade soul crystal that were seeping from his body.

The Soul Crystal devoured itself, and the power of the Devil Fruit was stuffed into a fruit floating in the "small world," multiplying the fruit's rebirth.

As I walked by, searching for the right person, I found the big barrel, Basque Chote.

Paramecia type. User of the Sake-Sake Fruit.

The ability type is super-creation.

Hunting.

Upon closer inspection, he appeared disheveled, bound by sea stone.

With a casual wave of his hand, a ripple swept across, slicing through the concept attached to the ripple, and the entire head was split in two from the neck.

His eyes widened, and his head rolled to the side.

The gray mist absorbed the power of the Devil Fruit.

[Obtained 1 B-grade Soul Crystal]

A moment later, she looked at the man in front of her with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

An elderly man sat elegantly on the ground, reading a newspaper, but his black and white striped bodysuit somewhat marred his elegance.

Red Earl.

Baron Redfield.

Remove the disguise from the environment.

A figure appeared in the outside world.

Noticing the sudden appearance of a pair of unfamiliar feet in front of him, the Red Earl paused, slowly raising his head to look at Messer, who was watching him with amusement, and suddenly burst out laughing:

"Hehehe! Interesting."

"Today is really interesting, I actually encountered such a situation."

Kid, you…

Thump! Mercer punched him on the head, and the Red Earl slammed his head into the floor.

Boom!
It produced a loud, muffled thud.

"Using Observation Haki to sense a stranger's thoughts without their consent is the most infuriating thing you can do."

Moses looked at him calmly and said.

Count Red looked up, his entire body tightly bound by sea stone chains. Blood trickled from his forehead, flowing down his eyes and into his lips, as he stuck out his bright red tongue to lick his own blood.

He stared at Mercer with his scarlet eyes, like those of a lone wolf, uttering no threatening words, but only a terrifying, invisible sense of intimidation.

It seems he is well aware of his current situation.

Mercer smiled, then turned and left.

The Red Earl watched as Moses passed through the wall and disappeared, then lowered his head after a long while.
"It seems they're not very interested in me."

I don't want to take him as a subordinate, and I can't take him in either, plus he's not a good person.

So, I just came to take a look out of curiosity.

His skills are decent, and he even has an A- rating.
We've arrived at the home of one of the most notorious female criminals in history.

Katerina Depon.

Mythical Zoan type. Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit user.

Hunting.

As he examined each person's actions, Mercer sensed the emotions of the people present, which were mostly numb. After the brief incident, the place fell into absolute silence once again.

Moses looked at the muscular man in front of him.

During the assessment, it was discovered that he possessed an ability called the Paramecia-type Instinct Fruit.

The ability has a very strong effect and can greatly activate one's wild instincts.

It's a pretty good functional Devil Fruit. We'll hunt it down in the same way.

A C+ grade soul crystal was devoured.

Not a moment.

I've found another suitable Devil Fruit, the Paramecia-type Emotion Fruit, which would be perfect for Piper.

Moses has just received it.

At that moment, the elevator started making a creaking sound.

Moses disappeared, and Warden Magellan hurriedly came over to inspect the situation.

Seeing this, Mercer took to the air and flew away. This is the end of this purchase; I'll come back next time.

You can't eat too much at one meal.

We must pursue sustainable development.

Upon reaching the high altitudes outside, breathing in the free air, the gray fog spread and condensed into clouds, where Moses lay down.

The psychic vision perceives the entire prison below, and from its unique perspective, it displays a myriad of strange colors.

A variety of emotions spread here, like a big hodgepodge.

The frequency fluctuations of various boiling emotions.

Gradually peeling away perception, one by one verifying the emotional concepts possessed by the Spirit Fruit, one comprehends the unique concepts belonging to emotions.

Joy, anger, sadness, fear.

Life has many facets, but what exists here is mostly negative emotions.

Where in this world can one find more positive emotions?
Perhaps it is a relatively peaceful place.

Messer thought to himself, "Elegia, Windmill Village, Cocoyasi..."
I won't think about it anymore.

Mercer was immersed in sensing the frequency fluctuations unique to various emotions.

With heightened perception, these negative emotional fluctuations from the outside world resonated with Moses.

The spiritual energy fluctuations became extremely intense.

Pride, envy, anger, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust.

These extremely negative emotions arise in people's hearts.

Perceive the various changes that occur in the body due to changes in one's own emotions.

In short, it has both advantages and disadvantages.

As time slowly passed, Moses ended his training.

flight.

It's the direction to the Sabaody Archipelago.

……

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

A phone call woke Zhan Guo, who was about to go to sleep. He felt a little helpless; today had been really eventful.

As Sengoku watched the Den Den Mushi mimic a somewhat familiar appearance, his heart skipped a beat:
"Magellan, don't tell me something happened at Impel Down?"

He circled the sixth level, but no escape attempt had occurred. However, too many people had died. After hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind. But upon hearing his words, Magellan fell silent, and after a few seconds spoke:
"I don't know what happened, but several prisoners died suddenly on the sixth floor. They all had one thing in common: they were all dangerous ability users."

Bondi Wald, Katerina Depon

After listening, Sengoku fell silent for a moment. A face suddenly flashed into his mind, and he shook his head. That guy was in the Sabaody Archipelago, after all.
What if he/she wasn't here?
With a sudden tightening in his chest, he immediately said, "Alright, I understand. I'll send Kizaru over there right away. You keep patrolling."

After hanging up, he immediately dialed another number.

A dozen seconds later, a blinding golden light, imbued with emotion, rose above Marineford and shot off toward Impel Down a few seconds later.

Sengoku felt a pang of stomach ache watching this scene; it was clearly an expression of dissatisfaction.

However, in this kind of emergency, the only option is for the capable to do more.

There's nothing we can do but let him suffer.

Sitting in my study, I brewed myself a pot of fresh tea and waited silently for news.

On the way back, sensing Old Huang's presence flash by, Messer smiled:
"A life of toil."

Fortunately, I was well-prepared and kept blending in with the environment to remain invisible.

Back in my hotel room, I quickly washed up.

Seeing Pepe sleeping like a little pig on the bed, Mercer pushed her aside and then crawled into bed.

The next day.

The warm sunlight shone on my face.

When Mercer opened his eyes, he saw a delicate face, now in spirit form, lying on top of him and staring intently at him.

Mercer looked at her and chuckled, "Have you seen enough? How much longer do you want to look?"

Sit up.

Pepe, dressed in a nightgown, sat cross-legged in mid-air. Looking at Mercer's well-defined and muscular chest, she couldn't help but swallow hard.

He plopped down in front of Moses, looked up at him, and covered his mouth to chuckle.
"Hala. Why don't you sleep a little longer, and I'll watch some more by myself."

As she spoke, she knelt on the bed and stood up, her fair right hand gently patting Mercer's head:
"You have to be a good girl and listen to your big sister, okay? Hahaha!"

Mercer rolled his eyes at her, took her hand away, and kneaded it in his palm. It felt very comfortable to hold her soft, boneless hand.

Pepe's eyes widened as she watched Mercer casually play with her hands without her consent.

I don't think I agreed to let you play with my hand.

Mercer looked at her, his other hand resting on her cheek, his thumb teasing her lips. "Then will you give it to me?"

Moses looked into her eyes and asked her a question.

Peipei looked away, pouting as she muttered, "Whatever. Even if I refuse, you'll still continue. Play if you want. I'll just pretend it was all a dream."

As she watched, the other person's eyes became moist, and their lips pursed slightly.

Mercer chuckled and said, "Alright then."

Seeing that Moses didn't do anything else and was just continuing to play with her little hands, Pepe's face darkened:
"That's it? You're satisfied with just touching my hand? Nothing else?"

Moses noticed the displeasure in her eyes, and a slight smile played on his lips:
"If this continues, I'm going to eat you all up. It's a bit too early for you right now."

Pepe's eyes turned red as she looked at Messer.

Spiritualization. Multiplication.

Its size increased to two meters, and the duck materialized itself, sitting in front of Moses, its gaze lingering as it said:

"Coward, you have the desire to steal but not the courage."

A ghostly doll representing excitement appeared in his palm and passed through Moses's chest.

Feeling her mind and body become incredibly excited, the next moment, a soft little hand pressed down.

fiddling with
Her face flushed, but her eyes held a defiant glint: "He's much more honest than you. He seems to really like older sisters."

I felt a shift in my body's heightened emotions, and my desires were constantly expanding.

Add to that the lingering negative emotions from last night's experience in Impel Down.

Mercer's pupils turned crimson, and a slight smile played on his lips:

"Are you playing with fire? Are you sure you want to keep playing with fire?"

Spiritualization. Physical reconstruction.

Her body immediately became curvaceous, expressing her thoughts through her actions.

Her pajamas slipped down.

She pressed her body against him.

Their heartbeats were perfectly synchronized.

"Rather than be outmaneuvered by those vixens at some unknown time."

"Then I'll just eat it all myself now. The rest of them will only ever deserve to eat my leftovers."

A playful voice rang in my ears.

The body immediately adjusted its direction accordingly.

The blazing sword of Damocles knocked on a warm door.

A vortex of gray mist spread out, and two figures disappeared from the room.

The gray fog condensed into a dense gray cloud.

Looming.

Accompanied by a painful scream.

"Can't you slow down? Why are you in such a hurry?" Mercer said speechlessly.

"Hmph! I will remember the pain you caused me. Look, I can swallow him whole in one gulp."

Peipei said angrily.

"Damn it! Why is it so big? Can't you make it smaller? If you really can't, you can just find a mini fruit to eat later."

"Don't move around. This kind of practice is like breathing exercises; you have to maintain a unique rhythm."

Mercer said speechlessly, "I've already told you, can you stop being so impatient?"

Pepe retorted with a dark face, "I don't need your permission. Today I'm going to be the Queen, and you're just my slave. You have to obey me in everything you do."

"Ouch! It hurts so much! Can't you be a little gentler?"

"You have so many demands. If you're afraid of pain, then make it bigger."

"No way! I'll bite you to death. By the way, is this your first time?"

"Nonsense, there was never any time like this before."

"Hahaha, I won! This is something I can brag about for the rest of my life! Hahaha!"

"Wow!!! Slow down."

in the afternoon.

Two figures appeared on the bed, where Peipei lay panting heavily.

Her face was flushed with an unusual redness.

Looking at Messer, who had sat up beside him, he smiled smugly:

"Hala halala!"

Mercer sighed, got up, and went to the bathroom to fill the bathtub with water.

He then picked her up and carried her to the bathtub.

Looking at her clinging to him like an octopus, touching and groping him, he was speechless:
"That's enough! When will you stop? Haven't you had enough fun yet?"

"Hmph! I don't care, I'm going to eat my fill in one go. I read in a book that your thing can be squeezed dry, so I've made up my mind."

"Uh! I forgot to tell you, my stamina is inexhaustible."

Mercer looked at her strangely. "And even if you lose consciousness, I won't have any problem with you."

Peipei stared in disbelief, her mouth agape.

I'm so stupid.
