I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 256, page 255: The Ship That Ate the Ship-Ship Fruit and the Blood Wine!
During the day, their intimate moments were the limit of what she could accept, so they went to the rooftop lounge.

Moses finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The ground softened and shaped, and Ya Dabao's body emerged from it, sitting cross-legged next to Messer and watching with a strange laugh:

"If you ask me, one is enough."

Moses glanced at it indifferently:

"How about I tell Crow Girl that some young female crows have been showing you their tail feathers lately?"

Ya Da Bao's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Moses, letting out a piercing scream:
"Caw~ Don't talk nonsense. Crow is very focused. If the little girl finds out, Crow will be in big trouble."

Moses looked at it calmly:
"Is it wrong?"

"Wrong, wrong! Crow will never do it again!"

Erlang stopped crossing his legs, and Ya Dabao's body turned into clay and merged into the ground.

Mercer's eyes were thoughtful. He got up, walked to the French windows, opened the curtains, and jumped out.

Once on the outer deck, he saw Ya Dabao watching him and Ya Xiaoniu sunbathing together, his gaze shifting away.

I walked up to it and reached out to stroke its lush canopy. Back on the resort island, I had already merged the Adam sapling with it.

Therefore, it has fully evolved and awakened the ability to manipulate trees of the Adam species.

Furthermore, it can freely transform itself into flesh and blood or Adam wood by consuming physical energy.

Today, it is a completely new species of crow, an intelligent animal that is a perfect fusion of plant and flesh.

Abbreviation: tree jay

Moses sensed the unique resilience emanating from Adamwood, and looked at it with a smile:
"Da Bao, I'm short of Adam Wood. I'll take some materials from you."

The crow's eyes widened and darted around, then it let out a sharp cackle:
"Are you going to cut down crows like trees? Mei, are you a devil?"

Mercer rolled her eyes at it. "Stop fooling around with me. Just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush."

Ya Dabao shamelessly approached, cawing and laughing at Meise:
"That's right, I want to apply for a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that's suitable for Niu from you."

Moses glanced at it and laughed:

"Let's see how you perform in a bit. Make me some Adam's Branches. Of course, I'm not a devil. You can use all the water and earth spirits you need during this mission."

Ya Dabao flapped his wings excitedly at his chest: "Don't worry about it. Leave this to me. I'll get you as much Adamwood as you need."

The words fell.

Ya Dabao flew off the sailboat and landed on the shore. His body rapidly expanded and transformed into a wooden castle shaped like a crow with a diameter of 300 meters.

You can see dense roots growing from the castle's base, taking root in the earth and beginning to draw nutrients.

A row of Adam's branches, each a meter thick, grew out from every corner of the castle.

In the blink of an eye, the branches became winding and undulating.

When it had grown to about ten meters tall, Ya Dabao paused for a moment, then his deep voice rang out:
"Mei, do you have any requirements regarding the shape of the tree trunk?"

"No, you can decide for yourself."

As they spoke, water and earth spirits flew to Ya Dabao's mouth and were swallowed by him. At the same time, he seemed to be injected with chicken blood.

That's normal. High-quality water and soil provide excellent nutrition for plant growth, not to mention the essence of water and soil.

Under the control of his mind, the alloy pillar high in the sky fell down.

Watching Ya Dabao continuously regenerate Adam's branches, then cut them off and stack them on the ground.

A short while later, an alloy pillar with a diameter of ten meters and a length of one hundred meters fell down.

The gray mist spread out, swallowing, fusing, and refining the Adam Wood branches and alloy pillars on the ground.

An hour later, Ya Da Bao took a breath and continued regenerating materials. Moses, who was constantly absorbing them, nodded in agreement.
"Okay, that's enough."

Ya Dabao breathed a sigh of relief, returned to his original form, plopped down on the ground, and wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead:

"The crows are exhausted."

"Don't try to play the victim with me. I won't forget what I promised you."

"Gagaga~ Alright!"

As it took flight, Moses said to it, "Get everyone on the ship out; I'm going to modify the big ship."

Soon, the remaining people on the ship came out, and Messer glanced at Nami and waved.

It flew over in the form of clouds. Nami asked curiously, "Is something the matter?"

Mercer chuckled, "I've decided to promote you to second mate on this large ship."

Nami's eyes lit up as the gray mist engulfed and merged with her.

Mercer swallowed the large ship into the "small world," where life materials fused with the smelted wood and metal, and then all of them were incorporated into the large ship.

The size of the ships continued to increase.

The Ship-Ship Fruit appeared in the gray mist, which Moses crushed and then merged into the keel at the bottom of the large ship.

At the same time, the spirit of the large ship was invoked.

As time passed, the unique "arabesque" pattern of the Devil Fruit began to spread inside and outside the ship.

A huge three-masted ship appeared.

The entire ship was transformed into a Devil Fruit weapon, sensing the power of the Ship-Ship Fruit.

With a thought, the ship began to subtly change. The overall layout remained the same, but many new rooms were added upstairs.

The ship is 300 meters long overall, 292 meters long at the waterline, 283 meters long at the vertical, and 79 meters wide.

It was built in imitation of the size of the Yamato battleship.

The power source remains unchanged.

Sailboats and electric ships.

As for the remaining ship layout, Nami will continue to modify it later.

A vortex of gray fog appeared.

The ship flew out and fell into the sea.

With a loud splash, waves rose dozens of meters high.

Moses looked at the ship, which combined the characteristics of Adam and Eve wood and steel, and nodded in satisfaction.

Nami landed on the wooden deck, which had a C-grade alloy hardness, and appeared in the outside world, looking at the ship beneath her feet in astonishment:

"How amazing! It's like an extension of my body, Moses, is this the Devil Fruit weapon they were talking about?"

"Okay, that's it. From now on, you'll be in charge of the ship's layout. But if you dare to mess things up, I'll hang you up and whip you."

Nami's joy lasted less than three seconds before she looked at Moses with a bewildered expression:

"Isn't hanging me up and whipping me a bit too much? I'm a girl, you know."

"Looks like you're thinking of messing around? But I keep my word."

Nami silently ruled out several renovation plans based on her honest conscience.

She stuck out her tongue at Messer, then called Nojiko back to their room on the ship and began manipulating the layout of the room.

This is to accommodate the future overhaul of the entire ship.

Mercer returned to the ship's cabin bar, sat down at the counter, and took a drink.

A moment later, Makino came over from the kitchen.

He looked around the interior of the cabin and nodded in satisfaction. The interior space had become much larger and felt quite spacious.

His gaze fell on Mercer, his hands rested on Mercer's shoulders, and he exuded a sweet, mixed aroma of wine.

Mercer, sensing the frequency fluctuations emanating from her as he smelled the alcohol, his eyes flickered slightly:

"So you can now use your abilities to create alcoholic beverages?"

Makino shook her head. "The only thing the Wine-Wine Fruit can make right now is a kind of alcoholic bubble that can be described as all-purpose."

Making all sorts of different kinds of alcoholic beverages is probably only possible after the fruit awakens.

However, I can purify various alcoholic beverages by soaking them in alcohol, or I can modify my bodily fluids to become mellow alcoholic beverages.

As she spoke, Makino took out a small knife and made a cut on her index finger, letting the blood flow out and then presenting it to Moses's mouth.

"try it yourself."

Smelling a faint, metallic aroma, Mercer inexplicably opened his lips and took a sip.

A smooth, sweet, wheat-like blood wine slid down my throat and into my body, and I could feel the cells in my body becoming slightly more active.

It can be analyzed in just a moment that this is a wine brewed by vitality.

Mercer looked at her strangely pale face. Although there were no external injuries, she seemed weak.

Seeing the strange look in Moses's eyes, Makino looked away.
"Flour can also be used to brew wine, and the Flour Fruit can transform my body into flour. The alcohol bubbles of the Wine Fruit can also modify my bodily fluids. Combined with the Smooth Fruit's optimization and modification of my body, the three of them, when brewed with blood, will create a unique smooth and refreshing taste."

Hearing her explanation, Mercer's lips twitched. He grabbed her finger, looked at the healed wound, and stared into her eyes, leaving no room for refusal:
"I won't say this blood wine is bad, but from now on, only I can drink this wine."

Makino blinked her beautiful eyes, her delicate face close to Mercer's, her red lips parted slightly, and she exhaled a fragrant breath of wine:

"Is that so domineering? My blood brew can be described as a life-giving wine that can heal any injury. You're the only one who gets to enjoy it. Don't you think that's a waste?"

Mercer stood up, and with her right hand, she ripped the wine ring with its fiery veins off her left finger.

He said calmly, "It's confiscated. I'll return it to you only after you give me a guarantee."

Makino laughed helplessly, "Why are you so stingy? Can't I share my blood with others?"

Mercer glanced at her indifferently, gripped the wine ring, turned and walked upstairs back to his room.

The gray mist spread out, merging the ring into its body.

Perceive the spirituality and abilities that resonate with your mind and body.

Sitting on the sofa in the room, with his legs propped up on the coffee table, he held up wisps of clear alcohol bubbles in his right hand.

At the same time, it transforms the blood in the body into a unique blood-based beverage.

Subtle changes occur in the body; upon careful perception and analysis, pain perception decreases, and the mind and body can become violent at any time.

Just as Mercer was carefully experiencing this unique ability, Makino, sitting on the bar counter below, rested her chin on her hand, her eyes gleaming with a strong sense of amusement.

"Is he jealous? He's so possessive of me. Hehe!" My mood suddenly improved.

He muttered to himself, "How could I possibly give that kind of wine to anyone else? What a stupid, worthless bastard." Looking at his empty left ring finger, a slight smile curved his lips.
"That's mine, I can't let you take it away."

With a bright smile on her face and humming a little tune, she gracefully got up and went upstairs to the second floor.

As soon as the door was opened, an incredibly strong smell of blood and alcohol wafted from inside.

Makino stared blankly at Messer, the strong smell of alcohol making her head feel a little dizzy.

His bare, strong upper body had turned an incredibly blood red, with veins bulging all over his body.

A hideous wound appeared on his palm, and blood-red bubbles kept gushing out and liquefying.

A clump of blood-infused wine, exuding an incredibly alluring aroma, floated above the palm of the hand.

Gudong!

She swallowed hard, unable to resist, and gave her a dismissive look. "Close the door. Either come in or leave."

Makino walked over, staring blankly as she reached out to close the door. She sat down next to Moses and swallowed hard.
"It smells delicious, may I have a sip?"

Mercer tilted his head and looked at her, his eyes slightly narrowed. Blood from his palm flowed into his body through the wound as he presented his right hand to her.

He swallowed again, rolled his eyes at Messer, took Messer's right hand in his hands, and gently licked the blood from the wound with his tongue.

He then took a sip of the drink.

An indescribable sweet and mellow wine flavor appeared in my mind.

My whole body became hot, and my smooth skin was instantly covered in glistening sweat.

Feeling as if a raging fire was burning all over his body, his legs couldn't help but rub together more intensely, and the feeling of pleasure instantly broke through the barriers of his consciousness.

He watched as she leaned against him, her eyes glazed over, looking as if she had just gotten drunk.

Moses curled his lip: "You little noob."

Mercer manipulated the wound to suppress its self-healing, pressed his palm to his lips, and a cool, refreshing taste of blood flowed into his throat.

Warm currents flowed through my body, and a surge of vitality filled my entire being.

There was also an indescribable, wonderful flavor that assaulted my senses.

It was like falling into an abyss.

It is because the blood of the transcendent contains the primordial substance of the small world, a power that can elevate people from the bottom of their hearts.

Suffer!
Now it's become Tang Monk's flesh!
Mercer's lips twitched slightly. At that moment, Makino grabbed Mercer's arm and her nimble tongue touched his palm.

He opened his mouth and sucked the blood wine.

As she ingested the blood-infused beverage, her body gradually turned rosy pink, and she exuded a fragrance reminiscent of orchids and musk.

Uh!
I sensed that her body was changing and becoming stronger.

Mercer's lips twitched; it really had improved her physical fitness.

He reached out and patted her cheek:
"Hey? Are you still awake? Say something!"

Mercer narrowed his eyes, watching her now enter a state of unconscious euphoria.

It no longer inhibits the wound's natural healing process.

The wound healed in the blink of an eye.

Makino could only keep sucking on the skin at the site of the original wound.

How should I put it? This scene is a bit... suggestive.

I took out my camera Den Den Mushi and snapped a few photos.

Mercer captured a clear and perfect image of her flushed face as she licked her own hands.

The photo was placed on the table, and as the terrifying mental pressure flashed by, Makino's body went limp and she collapsed onto Mercer's lap.

He sighed, looking at her soaking wet body, and channeled his inner power, gathering water to wash her clean.

He picked her up and tucked her into the blankets.

The wet clothes on their bodies were also removed.

The photo and the ring were placed on her bedside table, and a ball of water essence was taken from the small world and merged into her body.

Purify and cleanse her body and mind.

After doing all this, Messer sighed. Wasn't this a test for the veteran cadre?

He reached out and tugged at her cheek.

Mercer left the room and closed the door.

A short while later, they arrived at the castle newspaper office. Moses found Robin, whose eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing Moses approaching.

"What brings you here? And what's with this smell of alcohol?"

Mercer smiled and said, "I had a few drinks at Makino's place earlier. By the way, I'm going to Clockwork Island to discuss some business."

Robin narrowed his eyes slightly. "Who are you planning to take this time?"

Moses shook his head. "It won't take more than a few days. I plan to go alone this time and I'll be back in a couple of days."

Robin nodded. "Then go ahead, I approve."

Reiju stretched and looked at Robin with some surprise.

Three heads of a family?

As for who comes in second, it goes without saying, it's Sister Doriel.

Moses left.

The cold dew deepens and reaches the high sky.

I took a few panoramic photos of the island ship using a photo den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter).

Moses sat atop the sword and charged straight toward the East Sea.

The next morning.

After traveling all night, we sped down to Clockwork Island, the main body of the island thousands of meters above the ground.

After having breakfast at a breakfast shop, Mercer went to the mayor's house, which was located at the highest point of the town.

Because I made a reservation in advance.

The mayor and his wife were waiting for Moses there.

The people here look so strange; they all have flowing, ice cream-like hair.

"Mr. Mercer, it's been a long time. It's so good to see that you're as healthy as ever."

Dr. Clockwork wore a happy smile; after all, he was a friend.

Moses laughed, and the gray mist spread out, carrying several panoramic photos with it:
"Let's get down to business first. Do you think the technicians here are capable of handling this job?"

The doctor and his wife watched intently, while Mercer looked at the one-year-old toddler sitting in a high chair beside them.

"This is our son, Archie. Isn't he adorable!"

The doctor's wife smiled kindly.

Mercer said indifferently, "It's so-so, after all, the Doctor isn't much better."

The lady's face darkened, and the corner of her mouth twitched:
"You're really telling the truth. Archis is so adorable."

Mercer rolled her eyes. "What's so pretty about her? She's nothing like I was when I was a kid."

At this moment, Dr. Clockwork stroked his long, flowing, gray-green beard, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes:

"We can modify this type of island ship, but then we will need more metal to support the frame."

A complete overhaul would likely cost tens of billions of dollars.

Also, where is the island ferry? And how do we get there?

Hearing his words, Moses laughed:

"We're all friends, so let me ask you a question first: how are you doing here? Are there any pirates bothering you anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Clockwork's eyes flashed with a glint of light as he looked at Moses, then he sighed:

"Our home is located near Upside Down Mountain."

It is not a member state. Although the surrounding area is relatively prosperous, pirates come and go in an endless stream.

We only rely on the natural defenses we built with our own technology to defend against the attacking pirates.

I can only say that I'm trying my best to live.

His wife also sighed. Last time the Poker Pirates attacked, she almost threw her son into the sea to drift and leave his fate to chance.

They are just ordinary people who can only try their best to survive.

Moses didn't mince words and said directly:

"I want to build an island ship that sails on the sea, a place so big that it can easily accommodate you technical talents to settle down."

how about it?
Do you want to come with me? I can't guarantee anything else, but I won't allow anyone to run wild on my turf.

Of course, this is one option I'm giving you.

If you're not willing, we can simply have an employment relationship.

The couple looked at each other.

Dr. Clockwork looked at Moses and said, "Before you came, I told my friends on the island that I would help you build the island, and they were all very enthusiastic."

If it were you, I imagine they wouldn't refuse, but leaving one's hometown would make some people uneasy.

If you can convince them, then it's not impossible for us to join your forces.

This world is ruled by fists, although Moses could easily take them all away and buy tickets later.

Moses looked at the couple and smiled:
"Okay, then bring them all. I'll be waiting for you at the banquet area on the rooftop."

The couple looked at each other and could see the joy in each other's eyes.

The weak relying on the strong may not be a bad way to make a living.

Besides, this powerful figure was someone they knew.
