I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 269, Section 268: The End of an Old Era!

It floats in the sea.

Erii and Shirahoshi swam and played quickly beside her.

Erii Messer's incredible affinity for the sea made her feel right at home here.

The seawater flowed around him with his thoughts, lifting Moses as he floated in the sea.

Further down on Fishman Island,

Dragon Palace City.

Otohime looked at Neptune and asked, "Are the latest batch of immigrants ready?"

For the past two years, although Neptune was on Fishman Island, he kept an eye on the Eternal Ark almost every day.

The couple would call each other every night.

He was even more concerned about the progress on the Eternal Ark than Moses.

There are now thousands of people living in the fishman special zone on the island.

Neptune then said with a subtle look in his eyes, "After two years, many citizens are already very envious and looking forward to it."

Incredibly, one of our citizens was even selected for the execution squad aboard the island ship.

Mr. Moses truly treats everyone equally.

Princess Otohime nodded with a smile in her eyes:
"Bai Xing gets along very well with them, and Sha Xing also plays and trains with his younger brother Ace and the others."

However, our Shark Prince is always the one who gets beaten up. They have a very good relationship.

Neptune's eyes widened. "But Shark Star told me that they had both won and lost in their sparring matches."

Otohime covered her mouth and chuckled, "Is that what he told you? It seems our Shark Star Prince has grown up quite a bit."

Neptune saw her smile and nodded with a smile in return. "I really wish I could come and stay with you up there for a while. Unfortunately, I can't leave."

"Oh, right, remember to bring those two Devil Fruits with you when you go up. From the internal exchange list Moses gave us, we'll choose the Angel 2 gene serum this time."

You'll get injected with Shark Star then.

"OK, dear."

A glint of fire flashed in Moses' eyes from time to time.

Ace merged with Sabo and Messer, sensing the conceptual frequency of fire.

combustion.

It felt like there was a furnace burning inside my body, and the surrounding seawater was constantly being heated.

Mercer regularly takes the two of them out for training, and the two possess flames, while Ace's mythical beast species also has the concept of shadow.

A pitch-black shadow unfolded beneath their feet, within which lay a shadow space.

The seawater was swallowed up.

Flames burned within it.
Compression occurs within a high-temperature steam space.

The shadow that flashed in front of him suddenly burst forth.

"The combination of shadow and fire. That's a pretty good use of it."

Ace's voice rang out, followed by Sabo's laughter: "It's precisely because you can't transform into an elemental form that you would definitely become even stronger."

Ace: "That's not important, I'm already very satisfied."

Moses simply said, "Focus."

Both of them shut up at the same time.

Messer sensed the presence of Otohime, the fish-men, and the mermaids below.

A moment later, Otohime approached Messe and said with a smile, "Mr. Messe, I'll take the people to the Fishman Special Zone to register now. I brought two fruits with me this time. See you later."

Okay. You go ahead and get back to work.

Princess Otohime led the expectant citizens from the central lake beneath the island ship along the river to their homes.

Shirahoshi swam over at that moment, wearing a swimsuit.

"Lord Mercer, I'll go take a look too."

Messe nodded in agreement, and Erii came over and said, "Brother, I'll go with Shirahoshi."

The two quickly caught up with him, one after the other.

An hour later, Moses appeared on the ship's deck like a bolt of lightning.

Amidst the billowing gray mist, Acesabo appeared outside.

Moses laughed and said, "Go and cultivate yourselves."

I walked through the cabin and returned to my room.

The bathtub was filled with water, and I watched a few little yellow ducks floating on the surface.

When squeezed in the hand, a strange and piercing duck-like quacking sound immediately rang out.

Taking a bath and playing with ducks.

"Hala halala".

A pink-haired head emerged from the ground. Pepe, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and skirt, sat on the edge of the bathtub, dipping her left foot into the water and playfully watching Moses soaking in the tub.

"Would you like a back massage?"

As they were speaking, a rustling sound appeared, followed by a splash as they entered the water.

Technician Pei is online.

Enjoy it comfortably.

Before long, the technician was drenched in sweat from exhaustion.

……

They hold the sun and moon in their hands and pluck stars from the sky.

in the starry sky.

A bolt of lightning swiftly streaked between the meteorites, engulfing them in a spreading gray mist.

Shaping.

Columns of meteorites, hundreds of meters in diameter, floated in the air.

They floated densely behind Mercer.

mid March.

The Eternal Ship sails along its predetermined route in the new world, without any sense of urgency.

But they always moved toward their established goal.

The undercurrent is surging.

All eyes were on Beehive Island.

Beehive Island.

A burly man in his sixties stared fiercely at the newspaper in his hand, his right hand gripping it tightly and creating creases.

The central structure of Beehive Island is a giant rock skull.

The skull was hollowed out, and a fortress was built inside.

Stand at the window of the skull's right eye.

His gaze was fixed on the distant sea, as if he could clearly see the island warship in the newspaper.

"Hahaha. You want my island, Wang Zhi's island?" A cruel glint flashed in his eyes. "But little do you know that I'm also interested in your island-ship."

An island that can sail on the high seas is a superb mobile fortress.

A cold voice rang out.

"Go and send out the surveillance ship. I need to know their real-time location."

A man behind him nodded with a grin, "Yes, Admiral."

Wang Zhi held an axe with a crescent-shaped blade in his right hand and a flintlock pistol at his waist.

The next instant, his figure suddenly appeared on top of the skull building.

Paramecia type. Teleportation Fruit.

"The reason I was able to occupy this pirate island is not because of anything else, but because of my unpredictable and direct assassination ability."

"Hahahaha. Hahahaha."

A terrifying laugh, like that of an owl, appeared.

Full of confidence.

As they approached Beehive Island, the number of pirate ships around them increased.

To avoid unnecessary losses, the Eternal Ark floated up and sailed at a low altitude of three hundred meters above the ground.

However, the ship below the island was Moses's ship.

As we traveled, we saw a yellowish-brown island standing in the sea not far away.

The top is missing green.

Sandstorms are everywhere.

Mercer flashed into the sky above Beehive Island, transforming into a streak of lightning.

As if walking on flat ground, standing upright in the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with wind and clouds, and thunderclouds rolled in.

The entire Beehive Island was shrouded in the gloom of the eve of a thunderstorm.

At that moment, a burly figure suddenly appeared above the skull's head.

"Big news! Big news!"

On a balloon-like spaceship outside Beehive Island.

An albatross-like birdman, holding a telescope in its wings, looked with delight at Moses standing in the sky.

"A user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, a rare talent unseen for centuries? Is this a battle of lightning speed and teleportation?"

Hehehe~ Hahahaha! Interesting, absolutely hilarious!

The specially modified Den Den Mushi's eyes kept flashing.

Ships from various factions appeared on the outskirts of the island, all watching this scene closely.

"Wang Zhi, right?"

Mercer looked at the man in her line of sight.

"Identification"

Strength rating: B+
However, his abilities are quite interesting.

The Instant Transmission Fruit ability is A.

Observation Haki A-, Armament Haki A-, Conqueror's Haki B+.

Spear skills B+, axe skills A-, physical skills B+.

No wonder he's the one who can occupy this island.

It can be considered to be among the top-tier combat forces in the ocean.

Hearing Moses's voice, booming and majestic like thunder, Wang Zhi's gaze sharpened:
"I heard you want to use my territory to host a major competition? Did you get my permission?"

A crackling sound came from the electrical current.

In an instant, Mercer appeared beside him, sizing up the man.

"And what's your answer?"

Wang Zhi's eyes darkened as he looked at the two-meter-tall figure of Messer beside him: "I can give you the venue, but you have to beat me first, otherwise where will you get it?"

"Is that right?"

The next instant, Mercer appeared in front of him and kicked him in the chest with a kick crackling with black electricity.

But at the very moment of contact, Wang Zhi suddenly appeared a hundred meters away.

His eyes twitched as he looked at the cracks in his side armor caused by the strong wind.

Mercer reappeared beside him, his right hand shaped like a knife, tightly coiled with dark arcs of electricity.

He stepped forward with his left foot, and his right hand, carrying the will to cut through everything, pierced through his chest.

Wang Zhi's gaze was ruthless as he gripped the axe in his right hand and cleaved it down angrily, at the same time a unique wave appeared on the axe.

The next moment, Wang Zhi's axe, as if out of frame, suddenly teleported to Messer's head and slashed down with a dark, steely sheen.

clang--

A piercing metallic sound rang out.

The ground beneath their feet instantly cracked, with spiderweb-like fissures spreading outwards. Mercer, having caught the axe blow with his steel head, now looked at Wang Zhi, who had suddenly appeared a hundred meters away, his face contorted in pain.

Thinking back to that instant, the axe, carrying immense pressure, suddenly teleported above his head, its power terrifying beyond measure.

If it were anyone else, even Asia, they would have gotten a head slit open.

The teleportation fruit is terrifyingly powerful.

No wonder he was able to occupy this place for decades.

Mercer could have actually dodged it just now because the spatial fluctuations were particularly noticeable.

After all, Kureha's spatial exchange meant that Ya Dabao's castle space wasn't just for show.

Although he hadn't been able to fully grasp the concept of space, he wasn't completely ignorant of it either.

In that instant, Moses sensed his thoughts and wanted to teleport the axe directly into his head to kill him instantly.

However, the domineering aura flowing rapidly within Mercer's body easily blocked the spatial fluctuations that wanted to invade his body.

His idea is flawed.

boom!
A gunshot rang out.

The next instant, Moses swung his hand in a chop.

A dark palm covered with dragon scale patterns sliced ​​through the bullet with a spark.

The next moment, silver snakes danced in the sky.

My gaze was fixed on his figure.

mark.

Boom! Crack crack crack crack crack!
Thick, white arcs of electricity, as thick as a thigh, meandered downwards.

Wang Zhi's eye twitched as he watched the dense lightning strike him in the blink of an eye.

His figure constantly teleported in the surrounding space.

pity.

The lightning bolts around him precisely veered and chased after him. In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhi's figure appeared in the sky as if hundreds or thousands of them were constantly appearing.

The lightning snake snaked and crackled, like an enormous fishing net constantly enveloping him.

Hard to fly with wings.

Thunder rumbled in the thunderclouds.

Mercer sensed that the spatial fluctuations around him became more active as he used his abilities.

The next moment, Mercer's body disintegrated into arcs of electricity that merged into the magnetic field of this space.

The field has expanded.

At the same time, incredibly terrifying crimson arcs of electricity began to travel and spread through the void, intertwining and entwining with blue and white arcs of electricity.

A terrifying roar of lightning echoed through the surrounding sky.

Wang Zhi's figure abruptly stopped.

There is a feeling of stagnation in the flow of energy within the body.

The next moment, black and red electric arcs erupted from his body, dispelling the influence of the outside world on him.

However, at this moment, within a radius of 500 meters around him, an incredibly terrifying crimson-blue electromagnetic field covered his body, causing it to suddenly become extremely stiff and rendering him unable to use his abilities.

at the same time,

Boom! Crack—

Amidst the terrifying thunder in the sky, a ten-meter-diameter, blazing white lightning bolt, wreathed in crimson light, pierced straight down from above his head.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the sky.

Messer sensed all of this, and he sensed Wang Zhi, whose body was paralyzed and charred black in the extremely penetrating high-temperature lightning pillar.

The figure weaved through the pillars of lightning.

They approached him and saw that he had lost consciousness after being carbonized.

The cold dew appeared in his hand, reshaped by elemental transformation, and thrust forward as a lightning spear.

Snap!

Through the heart!

At the same time, the gray mist devoured the Devil Fruit power and Soul Crystal that had escaped from his body.

The beam of light dissipated.

From the outside perspective at this moment.

Moses reappeared.

He held a lightning spear crackling with electricity, which pierced through Wang Zhi's heart.

The legendary pirate who roamed the seas for decades has come to an end today.

This is what I see through the telescope.

Morgans' eyes were filled with shock, nothing else.

The three-day, three-night battle that he had envisioned, with its evenly matched forces and a variety of tactics, did not materialize.

Wang Zhi's instant kill did not occur.

I immediately got goosebumps all over my body.

The person who has remained undefeated in the Pirate Emperor's forces for decades and firmly controls this island is no ordinary person.

The world is about to change.

This guy's come with ill intentions.

A thousand thoughts raced through my mind, then quickly turned into ecstatic excitement—it was big news!

On the Eternal Ark, the scene was projected onto the giant projection screen in the administration office. At that moment, the island's residents looked blank, but then they erupted into a roaring tsunami.

They knew that Mercer was the true master of this island ship, and his victories and fame meant that the island ship's safety level had increased, which excited them!

Not far from Beehive Island, on a large ship.

Kizaru's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the lightning-filled landscape of Beehive Island and noticed the stunned expressions on the faces of the vice admirals beside him. Silently, he took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed a number.

On Big Mom's ship, the long-legged Smoothie looked at her older brother beside her, her eyes twitching as she said:

"Katakuri, are we still going to the Ark of Eternity to capture Chiropterans?"

Katakuri fell silent. He had fought Wang Zhi before, and the two were evenly matched thanks to his ability to foresee the future.

He died just like that, even though his abilities, domineering aura, and magical techniques were no weaker than his own.

He felt that even his mother couldn't handle this one-sided situation, so he took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed Wan Guo's number.

"Gurarararar." Whitebeard stood at the bow of the ship and laughed heartily, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes. "So you've left the stage too? Just like that cunning lion."

A terrifying laugh suddenly echoed from the dark clouds, and a winding, bluish-black dragon body appeared.

"Oro ro ro ro!!!"

Kaido's dragon head emerged from the thunderclouds, gazing down at Moses, who held a lightning spear atop a skull-like structure.

"You brat, do you even recognize me?"

Moses waved his left hand and laughed:
"Hey! Long time no see."

Kaido's eyes flashed with rage, and he roared furiously:
"What should you call me? You have no manners at all."

Flames are ignited in the dragon's mouth, which is 100 meters in diameter, compressing and converging high-temperature heat.

As Moses watched this scene, his right-hand spear crackled with electricity, and the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly throbbed like a heartbeat.

A dense barrage of lightning bolts fell.

They converged on the tip of Moses's gun.

A blinding burst of lightning erupted.

next moment,
Fire Pillar Dragon Breath.

A beam of lightning.

It shot out.

They collided suddenly in mid-air.

The power of lightning and fire intertwined, sometimes pressing down on Kaido, sometimes on Messe.

finally.

thump—

A violent explosion occurred, with lightning and fire shooting out for hundreds of meters.

Suddenly, a terrifying hurricane swept across the entire Beehive Island.

Looking at the enormous azure dragon, thousands of meters long, winding in the sky, Mercer's gaze shifted slightly, and the island beneath his feet trembled as the ripples spread.

The surrounding buildings exploded and shattered.

Giant waves crashed against the rocks.

After a few seconds,
A thousand-meter-long rock dragon floated in the sky, with Moses standing at its head, looking at Kaido a hundred meters away.

"It's been years, and your temper hasn't gotten any smaller."

Kaido's eye twitched as he looked at Mather, who was suppressing his anger, and asked again, "What should you call me?"

Messer scratched his head, his Observation Haki revealing Yamato on the ship. The girl's eyes held a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

Moses shook his head and said calmly, "Two titles, one is Kaido, and the other is Father-in-law. I don't know which one you'd like to hear."

Mercer's soft voice echoed around them.

On the ship, Yamato's face was flushed red, and strange gazes swept over her from all sides.

A certain bird-like man's eyes suddenly widened; he had just stumbled upon a shocking piece of gossip, and his whole body trembled. Today's news was too explosive.

He doesn't even know which one will be reported tomorrow.

I'm having trouble making decisions.

Kaido's displeasure grew stronger. "I remember you're my son."

Mercer shook his head and said, "I didn't agree to that."

He laughed as he spoke, "When did you start learning from Whitebeard?"

What should I study?

Moses didn't say it explicitly.

Anyone present who knew about that guy's collecting fetish knew that he would collect sons from all over the place, regardless of their origin or what he liked!

Kaido roared, "You bastard!"

Surrounded by black flames, its winding body flew towards Messer, its massive, mountain-like claws slamming down towards him.

The body disappeared into the rock dragon, and the next moment, dark dragon scale patterns appeared on the rock, wrapped in Armament Haki.

The black dragon's right claw transformed into a fist and swung out.

Boom!

The menacing black lightning, accompanied by a terrifying shockwave, spread across the sky.

The next moment, the two divine dragons began to fight and bite each other in the sky.

A harsh metal collision sounded.

Terrifying roars echoed continuously.

Scarlet arcs of electricity kept popping up.

The dark clouds in the sky broke apart and then gathered again.

Flames and water.

Gale and rock.

Various lightning strikes raged.

Two thousand-meter-long dragons clashed in the thunderclouds of the sky, with pieces of dragon scales, blood, rocks, and dragon horns falling from the sky.

"Identification"

Strength rating: A+
Half a day later.

The two sat cross-legged on the body of the rock and earth dragon.

He drank the alcohol in large gulps.
