I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 261. Nine Serpents!

Yamato didn't necessarily want to sit on the sofa; he just wanted to find fault.

Everyone watched this scene with great interest.

Fun.

Hancock's pretty face then turned aggrieved, her long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and her hands gently grasped the hem of Moses's dress at the side:
“I am so afraid of Messer, she is so fierce to me.”

I feel pity for you.

Yamato's mouth gaped slightly as he looked at Mercer, who seemed somewhat at a loss. He waved his hands repeatedly and glared at her.
"You're talking nonsense! How did I bully you? Don't talk nonsense here."

Hancock shrank back, looking timid, and clung tightly to Mercer's arm. "Look, she's being mean to me again."

Yamato's body trembled, and he stopped talking. With a dark face, he walked to the opposite side and sat down, glaring fiercely at Hancock with his puffed-out cheeks.

He is not good with words, but only with fists and feet.

A hint of grievance lingered in her beautiful eyes, but more than anything, she was unhappy.

Runti, standing beside her, sighed helplessly, thinking to herself, "Yamato is so stupid, I can't handle her at all. But this woman is really beautiful." Her eyes sparkled like stars.

Jinbe and Crocodile's lips twitched. The contrast was too great. The domineering empress from not long ago had become like this.
As Otohime watched this scene, she blinked, sensing that there was going to be a good show. Women are naturally fond of gossip, and she subtly observed the girls present.

The amazement in my eyes was continuous.

Feeling the subtle elasticity on her arm, Moses rolled her eyes at her, while Hancock's eyes held a hint of smugness, as if to say:
That little fool, I no longer consider him a threat.

Hancock couldn't help but think of the precious book Sonia had given her, which described some really amazing things.

Just now, I was told to feign weakness to the enemy.

This makes me think, "This is how it should be done."

Although reluctant, he calmly released Moses's arm and sat up straight.

A gentle smile graced her exquisite face as she sat quietly beside Mercer.

That's called being obedient and well-behaved.

When Yamato saw Hancock release Moses and sit quietly and obediently, he looked somewhat bewildered, and his anger subsided rapidly.

Robin, who was standing next to Otohime, saw all of this and, based on what she had learned from the book, thought to herself, "Immature and full of flaws."

They just bully Yamato a little.

However, it is a potential formidable rival.

At that moment, Hancock blinked and looked at Sonia, who was sitting elsewhere:
“Give the Kuja Permanent Pointer to Moses, otherwise he might not be able to find it.”

Sonia nodded, took a permanent pointer from her chest, stood up, and handed it over.

Hancock took it and handed it to Moses.

"I've noticed you haven't asked for the address yet, and I'm a little curious. Do you know about it, Mercer?"

Mercer laughed and said, "Just like everyone has their own unique fingerprints, islands also have different magnetic field frequencies."

Unfortunately, I happen to be able to distinguish the differences in the magnetic fields of the islands.

"My Observation Haki range is a bit too wide, and I've been to Luscaina before, so I was able to find it."

At this point, Moses looked at Robin and smiled, "I told you before that there is an ancient kingdom on that island. I'll take you to see it sometime."

Robin's eyes welled up with tears, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, exuding an older sisterly charm.
"Okay, then I'll look forward to it."

Hancock blinked at Robin, sensing that this woman was different, giving her a faint feeling of danger.

Robin smiled at Hancock and gently touched her cheek: "Is there something wrong with my face? Can I call you Hancock?"

Hancock's eyes flashed; this woman was dangerous, in every sense of the word.

With a charming smile on her face, she said, "Of course, then I'll call you Robin too."

The two chatted happily, but it gave Yamato, who was standing next to them, an instinctive chill.

He glanced at Runti beside him without making a sound. Runti curled her lips. One was the one who managed the family's money, and the other was an outsider who had come from afar.

None of them are easy to mess with.

He couldn't help but grind his teeth and look at Messer.

Seeing Runti glaring at him, Messer was completely confused. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Are you thinking about Hanafza?"

Runti rolled her eyes. "I don't miss that stinky old man at all."

Mercer laughed and said, "Then he'll be sad."

Runti pouted and snorted!
Mercer closed his eyes slightly, his senses expanding, his spiritual vision perceiving the magnetic field in the outside world.

Distinguishing the familiar line from the chaotic magnetic field lines, the island ship outside quickly headed towards the calm zone.

Time passed quickly. Looking down at Enies Lobby, the ship passed overhead and plunged into the doldrums.

Mercer controlled the island ship to fall from the sky and crash into the sea below.

Until it connects with Snake Island.

Rumble!
A tremor arose, seawater surged from below, and the ship began to rock in the central lake.

Moses opened his eyes and laughed:

"We've arrived at Kuja. I'll maneuver the island boat next to Kuja. Let's go."

Her senses expanded, perceiving everything familiar, and Hancock blinked:
"Well then, come with me. We'll go to Nine Serpents City together, and I'll treat you all well."

He maneuvered the two boats along the river towards the bow of the ship.

The entrance port to Snake Island is directly opposite the island ship.

The port was filled with vigilant Nine-Headed Serpent Warriors.

With its enormous size, Amazon Lily is like the USS Merry compared to a naval vessel.

Panic filled every soldier here.

With Lady Snake away, the remaining warriors were all very uneasy upon seeing this scene.

Anxiety was spreading, but a few minutes later, the sight of a boat appearing in the river in front of them left them all stunned.

"Yes, yes, it's Lady Snake and the warriors."

The next moment, a deafening roar erupted.

"It's Lady Snake Princess!!!"

"The soldiers are back!!!"

"What is Hancock up to? This way of traveling around the island... Could it be that guy?"

Even now, the death of the Golden Lion is still widely discussed.

but.

The Nine Serpents of the Calm Belt are not included in this list.

Two ships were anchored in the port.

The group disembarked.

Old Sha's eyes flickered slightly. "The legendary Kingdom of Women? Their clothing is quite revealing."

Everyone wears a three-point bikini, maybe with a cape on top.

Hancock looked at Moses with delight and said:
"Come in with me."

After saying that, he looked at Crocodile and the other men, and said expressionlessly:
"You don't need to go in, just stay here."

How quickly she changed her expression?

Their lips twitched; how could there be such a huge difference in how people were treated?

The group entered the Nine Serpents City.

A white-haired old woman, about a meter tall, kept glancing at Mercer and muttering to herself:
"How can we let a man in? That's against the rules."

Hancock turned her head, her face dark:
"What's wrong, Mother-in-law? Do you have a problem with that? If you dare to have a problem, I'll make you stand as punishment."

Upon hearing this, the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably, her face darkening in tacit agreement, also because the aura emanating from Mercer was far too powerful.

Not to be offended.

Inside Nine Serpents City.

Hancock had Sonia and Gruud take Robin and Otome on a tour, and then brought Moses and Granny to her room.

A moment later, Grandma Zha listened to Hancock's words in stunned silence, then groaned and clutched her forehead:

"The Navy has the technology to enter the Calm Belt, and you killed a high-ranking official of the World Government right in front of them."

The Seven Warlords of the Sea can no longer remain in their positions.

She looked at Messer with resentment, thinking it was all because of this man; she wondered what kind of advice he had given this silly girl.

Moses laughed. "Just like Hancock said, it's no longer safe here. I'll give you two choices."

First, I'll help you move the Nine Serpents to another calm zone far away from here, even a sky island over 10,000 meters high.

two,"

At this point, Moses looked at Hancock and Zapa, "Integrate Kuja into my island ship, and I will give Kuja a self-governing territory."

However, this means being connected to the open sea, which is both good and bad. As long as you sail on the open ocean, you're bound to be attacked by pirates. Things won't be as peaceful as they are now. You should think it over carefully.”

Hancock didn't hesitate and said directly:

"I choose the second option. It's safer to be with you. They are very strong."

"If we join forces, I think our combined strength will be no less than that of the three largest Emperor pirate crews in the New World."

Yes, in this day and age, Whitebeard, the Beasts, and Big Mom in the New World are already being hailed as the Emperor Pirates.

It can be described as an era of three sovereigns standing side by side, and three superpowers and many strong forces.

As for strength, that's another pirate group.

A glint flashed in Grandma's eyes. To be honest, she had only seen Mercer's strength a year ago.

However, judging from Hancock's words, it was Moses who single-handedly overpowered the Marine Headquarters and easily brought her out.

And those who could actually do this, I suppose, could only ask timidly:

"Could it be that you're a Celestial Dragon?"

This is probably the only explanation that makes sense.

Moses glanced at her: "I'm not that kind of trash. I know what you're thinking."

"The reason why the Navy Headquarters did not stop me is because I was ganged up on by them and the Five Elders more than half a month ago."

The result is that I'm still alive and well, and they still give me some face. Although the words were few, the information contained within was rather frightening!

"Eh!!!"

Grandma's eyes bulged uncontrollably as she exclaimed in disbelief. That was something even Rocks couldn't do!

Hancock held Moses's hands in both, her pretty face filled with worry:
"You're not hurt, are you?"

Mercer held her hand in his own, and chuckled softly:
"Don't worry, I'm doing fine now."

Hancock blushed as she saw Messer holding her hand.

Moses looked at his mother-in-law and said, "I won't force you. I only came here because of Hancock. Don't overthink it."

Grandma glanced at Hancock, who had a shy expression, and cold sweat poured down her forehead.

It's a choice. But it's not.

Because once the navy acquired the technology to enter the doldrums, this area was no longer as safe as it used to be.

However, this man in front of them is too dangerous. If they provoke the Celestial Dragons, they will definitely be surrounded and killed. It is too risky for Kuja to follow him.

He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "I agree with Hancock's decision, although I don't really agree with it, but she is the queen of this country."

We'll deal with the future later. With the tides of time, we Nine Serpents can no longer afford to be complacent.

We've chosen to board your ship, but we hope you'll treat our Nine Serpent girls well.

We, the Nine Serpents, are a nation of warriors, and we will join in the work of defending our homeland. However, we hope you will not interfere too much with our traditions.

Moses nodded. "Kuzakaya belongs to Hancock, and I won't interfere with your affairs."

Moses chuckled:

"Then, welcome."

As Moses extended his hand, Grandma was about to reach out and shake it when she noticed Hancock staring at her with a dark, deathly gaze, her eyes gleaming with a fierce light.

Embarrassed, Hancock withdrew her hand and appeared before Mercer with incredible speed, extending her right hand to grasp Mercer's right hand with a radiant smile.

"Then please take care of me from now on, my dear!"

Mercer smiled and said, "Yes."

The woman was ignored by the two men.

The old woman was suffering, but no one cared.

……

Three days later in the blink of an eye.

The group had their fill of fun in Kuja and Luscaina, and Hancock also announced Kuja's relocation to the entire nation.

The room was buzzing with noise.

However, they wholeheartedly agreed to the orders of the most beautiful emperor in history.

Luscaina.

Moses arrived at this place, a ruin. Robin's eyes flashed with thought, "Humanity's struggle against nature, humanity lost, and this place became a paradise for wild beasts. The stone tablets here record everything."

Moses said calmly, "Rise and fall, prosperity and decline, life and death are also a natural law."

Robin chuckled slyly, "So, will we die someday too?"

Moses shook his head. "It's too early to talk about this now. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm taking this island with me now."

As he spoke, he activated his levitation ability, causing the entire island to tremble and be uprooted by Moses.

Volcanic eruption.

The earth cracks.

Terrified roars of wild beasts echoed across the island.

Mercer maneuvered the island into the air, brought it to the island ship, and placed Luscaina in an open area at the stern.

It was merged with the previous territory of the ferocious beasts.

At that moment, the entire stern section of the island ship became a paradise for ferocious beasts.

It was also Moses's hunting grounds.

Back on the Kuja side, the island was uprooted. On the right rear edge of the island ship, amidst the churning of earth and rocks, a huge crater several kilometers deep appeared, and Mercer placed Kuja Island into it.

From then on, the island's population increased.

This place will be known as Nine Snake Town from now on.

A waterway several hundred meters wide appeared in the original port of Nine Snake Town, connecting to the central lake.

The island ship left the doldrums.

Mercer maneuvered the island toward Alabasta.

One day later, behind the island ship.

Mercer brought Nojiko over.

Before them stretched a lush, green forest, preventing the ferocious beasts behind them from escaping their cages.

"How's the use of the Mountain Fruit going?"

Nokiko chuckled and said, "It should be alright."

"Then we'll create a cliff-lined isolation zone several hundred meters high here."

Nojiko's eyes widened. "Then how long do I have to work like this? You can't force me to do this."

Mercer gently slapped her on the head, his fingers clenching around hers. Nojiko said helplessly, "Can't I even try?"

He crouched down, placed his hands on the ground, and the next second his body turned brownish-brown. The ground began to rise and rise to both sides.

A moment later, looking at the mountain wall that was hundreds of meters long and fifty meters high, Nokiko blushed with embarrassment:
"I'm sorry! This is the only way. It will probably take several days to finish everything here."

Mercer rubbed her head, and the gray mist swallowed and merged her.

The next moment, Messer sensed the power emerging within his body.

Manipulate the earth and become an element.

Sensing the power within his body through his spiritual vision, Nojiko, who was now one with his soul and body, also felt the power he was experiencing.

"Oh! Is this your power, Mercer?"

Heavy, bearing, Earth's magnetic field.

The body transforms into rock and soil, sinking into the ground, sensing the earth's weight and the concept of bearing all things and the earth's magnetic field.

The next moment, the island ship began to rumble and vibrate, and a lifelike rock giant, hundreds of meters tall, rose from the ground.

Moses raised his arms, and the entire rear half of the island rose upwards.

It is 100 meters wide and up to 300 meters high.

The rock face is smooth and steep.

It's like a sheer cliff enclosing the primeval forest behind it.

The top and inner walls of the cliff are covered with dense, sharp rock spikes.

In the middle of the rock wall, there is an oval doorway with a diameter of fifty meters.

Forest entrance.

Sensing the magnetic field inherent in the interior of Luscaina and the island ship.
The rock giant merged into the earth.

Elementization.

Moses merged with the earth.

Perceiving the concept of the earth.

The concept interacts with itself.

Sensing the unique magnetic field frequency of the Forty-Eight Seasons Island.

Begin permanent modification and reorganization of the magnetic field.

The magnetic field variations of the Forty-Eight Seasons Island enveloped the rear half of the island.

Mercer traversed the island ship's land, sorting out the chaotic magnetic field that had arisen from the merging of different islands.

Nojiko watched all this in shock, because she was fused with Messe, so she could clearly perceive the application of the Mountain-Mountain Fruit's power.

A power akin to a natural disaster.

The ability to permanently alter the island's magnetic field to control the changing seasons.

Are you a deity?

He said it silently to himself.

Mercer chuckled: "Just an ordinary, unremarkable person."

Noki retorted, "You're lying. If you're just an ordinary person, then we're not human."

"What's that? A cute, upright-walking ape?"

"Cute is fine, but apes are not."

Mercer laughed, "You've even learned to grasp the key points."

"Hey! Mercer, can I be like you?"

Moses laughed and said, "You should say it like this: Hey! Moses, I'm going to surpass you."

Nokiko chuckled, "Can I really do it?"

"Girls should learn to daydream."

"Well???"

Nokiko was going crazy.

finally,
In the center of the island's central lake, a 300-meter-high rocky platform with a diameter of one kilometer appears.

From now on, this will be the center of the island ship.

Moses' castle will be built here.

The entire city will radiate outwards from this center.

Although it's still just a rough draft.

three days later.

Alabasta.

An island ship floated down from the sky.

Boom!

Waves hundreds of meters high surged into the sky, then calmed down under a ripple.

It's only a few hundred meters away from the rapeseed flower port.

Standing on the shore of the island ship, one can sense the stunned and terrified emotions of the port residents.

Standing next to Moses, Crocodile grinned and laughed: "You really have a twisted sense of humor."

But I must say, it was exhilarating!

“I’ve already made the call, my people are coming soon, and they’ll be in Bonnie’s care. Let’s go too, to Rainyland, and move my casino there.”

Crocodile couldn't wait any longer; his dream city was about to become a reality.

They maneuvered the island ship to appear on the shore not far away, bordering Alabasta.

Otohime looked at this familiar place; she had traveled here before, to this beautiful desert kingdom.

And then there's Crocodile, the "hero" of the desert. After observing him for the past few days, it seems that the so-called "hero" is just an illusion.

However, she believed that Mercer could keep this guy in check.

“Mr. Mercer, Neptune and I have discussed it, and we also want to move a group of residents into your city.”

"Then I can only welcome you."
