I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 276, Section 275: The Beauty Trap!
"That's a really nice song. It's sung by that girl named Uta."

There was a projection screen on the wall directly above the administration building. Kalifa stood under an Adam tree and watched a red and white-haired girl singing and dancing happily on the stage.

A young executioner in a suit with a pigeon perched on his shoulder spoke calmly:
"What do you think of the theft tasks those adults above are making us do?"

Upon hearing this, Kalifa's expression turned silent. "There's a laboratory on the second basement level below the administration building. I heard that a blonde girl named Kureha, Trafalgar Law, and a reindeer herder often go in and out of there."

However, ordinary people simply cannot enter that place, not even those of us who have already surpassed the limits of human capability.

Inside, there are tamed red-eyed owls on guard and monitoring. These animals emit blinding infrared light from their eyes in the dark, and if it shines on a stranger, it will emit an extremely piercing scream.

Furthermore, Crocodile often resides in a side hall of the palace on the top floor of the administration building, and he arrives at the scene within three minutes of noticing anything amiss.

Even if you, as the executioner on the island ship, have been collectively taught the power of dominance, you still can't beat him.

Not to mention, if a riot breaks out there, it might even attract the attention of that guy, the Thunder Emperor.

Our chances of success are very small, but this is only a partial view.

The man beside her was Rob Lucci, who was now the captain of the executioner squad led by Asia.

"Through Bruno's Door-Door Fruit, we will have a 100% success rate in getting inside."

The chances of them getting the information and escaping are very high.

Lucci narrowed his eyes and revealed his plan.

Kalifa nodded indifferently, indicating her agreement with the idea.

"Spatial abilities are indeed very well concealed, but according to the intelligence we have, that guy Lei Di has multiple abilities, and he might also have spatial abilities."

Also, Bruno's Door-Door Fruit cannot be kept open for long, so we will eventually have to leave from the port in the central lake or one of the ports in Nine Serpents by boat.

So the question is, what is our evacuation plan?

Lucci looked at his partner, with whom he had been on missions for several years, and chuckled:
"It's not us who's looking for him. I've heard that Lei Di is a lecherous man and has ambiguous relationships with all the women around him."

You're on good terms with that guy named Reiju at the newspaper, right? Find an opportunity to get close to him and ask him to show you around.

Then, they gave Bruno their entry and exit times, which Bruno then secretly stole.

This way, none of us will be exposed, and we can continue to monitor them from here.

Kalifa's eyes widened as she stared at Lucci in disbelief, gritting her teeth.
"You mean you want me to use my femininity to seduce him?"

Lu Qi looked at her with a deep gaze, "Otherwise, why do you think the weakest among us could participate in such a high-level and dangerous mission?"

You're not at a loss; putting everything else aside, that guy's looks are top-tier in the world.

Otherwise, how could he attract so many top beauties from the sea? Those women are no pushovers.

He's very good to his women, even giving away Logia-type Devil Fruits like Reiju, Nojiko, and the Nami sisters. If it were you, you might even get a top-tier Devil Fruit for free.

Lu Qi spoke these cold words with a blank expression.

Kalifa remained expressionless, but her hands were clenched tightly; she was still innocent.

"Hmm, let me think about it. After all, it involves climbing into someone else's bed. Give me a day."

Lu Qi nodded silently. A day wasn't much time; it was acceptable.

Kalifa had no intention of listening to the song anymore. What she thought sounded nice just now now sounded strangely jarring. Her expression returned to its usual aloofness as she walked toward the administration building.

Lucci glanced at the big screen, then turned and left as well.

Unbeknownst to the two, an ear and an eye on the treetop behind them were turning into pink petals and disappearing.

A dozen seconds later, not far away, one of the crows took to the sky.

Silently weaving through the flock of crows in the sky, they followed Lucci's figure from afar.

One of the key features of the Eternal Ark.

A flock of crows.

There are many different kinds of crows here, some large and some small.

People in the city are used to it. Crows are smart and don't defecate or urinate indiscriminately in the sky. Some can talk, while others can't.

Legend has it that the island's inhabitants were very fond of these spiritually gifted crows.

These crows were all kept by the owner of the island ship.

As time went by, these crows have completely settled down here and live in harmony with the island's inhabitants.

Each of the CP agents that Robin discovered was monitored by twenty crows in rotation.

Each crow is responsible for a large area and they take turns monitoring it.

Whenever these CP agents gather together, Robin is notified and will personally monitor them at any time.

……

Uta's first concert has officially ended.

He bowed and left with a happy expression.

Cheers and praises filled the entire venue and the city.

The group returned to the ship.

In the cabin.

Uta, who had absolutely no idol image, slumped on the sofa, took a glass of juice from Mercer, and downed it in one gulp.

They sang for hours with almost no breaks.

"I'm so thirsty! I've never sung for so long before."

Uta, his face burning with exhaustion, slumped on the sofa like a lump of mud and said...

"It's because you got so excited that you kept singing nonstop. If you didn't sing so well, people might have left halfway through the show."

"Don't do this again next time. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your fans."

"A fan?"

Uta stared at Mercer on the opposite sofa with bright eyes, somewhat incredulous:

"Is Uta going to get fans too?"

"Be confident, your song is amazing. If it's made into a record or headphones and sold, it will definitely make you a rich woman."

"Hehehe, I don't want to. I just like letting people hear my songs. I don't want to use them to make money."

Uta stuck out his tongue at Messer.

Mercer said calmly, "Making money is a small matter; what's important is that your songs will be preserved forever."

Don't you want more people to hear your songs? The money you earn is just a byproduct.

Uta blinked and asked Mercer, "Then can I leave these matters to you?"

Moses pursed his lips. "I don't have that kind of free time. You can go find Robin, and she'll have her people handle it."

"Then you can just lie there and count your money."

"Hey, hey, hey, I haven't agreed yet!"

Seeing that the two had finalized the plan, Shanks quickly made his presence known.

Mercer smiled faintly, "Anyway, you're not losing out, and you have no reason to object, right? It's good that Uta is using his own skills to earn some pocket money."

Shanks was speechless for a moment.

Messer looked at Uta and smiled:

"After today, you're quite famous. When you and Shanks travel to big cities in the future, you'll probably be invited to perform and sing."

Remember to ask for an appearance fee.

To avoid working for someone else for free, but these things are none of my concern; Shanks and the others will handle them.

Shanks was taken aback; wasn't this going to keep Uta here?

When Moses saw his gaze, he smiled but offered no explanation.

It was already afternoon.

Not long after, we had lunch together.

After that, Uta and her friends went shopping in the city, where there were many high-end clothing brands.

Especially the top-tier logo panda and the crime starfish.

……

A high-end hotel in the city.

This is one of Robin's properties.

Inside a luxurious private room on the top floor.

The fog adheres to interior walls with excellent sound insulation.

Block perception.

At that moment, seductive sounds that stirred the imagination emanated from the bathroom.

"So, they're trying to use their beauty to trick me? Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"

"Well, who knows? Kalifa, that woman is very beautiful, and she knows a lot too."

"Again! Not as pretty as you."

Click!

The bathroom door opens.

He lay on the big bed, holding Robin in his arms.

Moses leaned against the headboard.

She is exercising.

Moses: "Have you figured out how to deal with them?"

Robin: "Hmm~ It's up to you."

The dragon's claws grasp the mountain peaks.

Moses thought for a moment, "Hmm, I'll talk to Doctor Doriel later and have her compile some information on the correct names and incorrect results so they can take it back."

I'll disgust them. I'll deal with that Door-Door Fruit user later.

That's all for now.

"Ha, what about Kalifa and Rob Lucci? That woman wants to get into your bed."

"She has no chance. I'm not interested in her. You said she's quite capable, so just keep her as a tool. If you don't want to do any of the hard work, just hand it over to her."

As for Lucci, I'll have Asiya assign him to the most dangerous locations.

Robin's face was flushed, and he was panting:
"To use as a tool?"

"The world government is handing over free henchmen, so of course we should make the most of them."

"By the way, these past few days, because of your presence, many underworld emperors have wanted to cooperate with us."

There are quite a few important people in our city. After discussing it with Crocodile, I decided to have him keep them company.

"However, I accidentally discovered that Queen Stussy of Pleasure Street seems to have had contact with that Kaku."

I strongly suspect she's also a member of the World Government.

Mercer narrowed his eyes, gazing at the breathtaking scenery before him, and after a moment's thought, said:

"I'll go hang out with her later." "Okay, go ahead. That woman is no ordinary person; she seems quite formidable."

"Don't worry, no matter what, he's just someone who can be put to sleep with one punch."

Robin smiled slightly. "Alright, enough of this small talk. Let's get down to business."

Saying,

His movements became incredibly wild.

……

evening.

After discussing it with Kureha,

Mercer had disguised himself and wandered around the island before arriving here.

Red Stone Arena.

Wearing sunglasses, Mercer arrived and sat at the highest point of the stands.

Looking down at the two people fighting each other with their bare hands, one was Ace, and the other was a pirate leader with a bounty of 250 million.

Pirates caused trouble in the city and injured people.

Ace brought her to the life-or-death battle.

Watching the two below deliver blows with such force, Ace clearly had the upper hand.

This is also a deterrent measure.

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

"You bastard, just die!"

The woman rushed to Ace and punched him in the face.

clang!
The blazing red, high-temperature steel face easily blocked her fist.

Ace's head lolled to the side from the blow, his eyes blazing with fire, and he swiftly swung a fiery steel fist at her face.

The woman suddenly tilted her head back, spat out a mouthful of blood, and flew backward. Ace's figure flashed, and he caught up with her, grabbed her legs with both hands, and spun her around with his right foot as the axis.

bang bang bang bang bang
Brute force!

A series of ear-piercing cracking sounds rang out.

The entire venue echoed with deafening cheers and shouts.

Moses looked down at the Red Stone Fighting Arena, which had turned a dark red as the gladiatorial combat continued.

One could sense a fierce, malevolent aura emanating from it.

"Ace! Ace! Ace!"

The cheers brought a wild look to Ace's face. With another slam, Ace released his grip, and the pirate was lifeless.

Execution!

Ace is also constantly growing.

At that moment, Ace sensed a strong gaze and turned to look, but there was no one there.

After leaving the Red Stone Arena, Moses strolled along the street.

Every day, many outsiders board this city ship, resulting in a very high volume of people.

Before long, he had a skewer of grilled meat in his hand, and Mercer ate as he strolled around.

I spotted Erii, Shirahoshi, and Uta shopping nearby.

Moses did not go over and play with them.

Before long, as they walked, Moses saw the town of Nine Serpents appearing in the distance.

Beyond it, they arrived at the side coast of Nine Serpents City, where they found a sandy beach.

The rest of the island is mostly characterized by low walls.

A layer of gray mist condensed beneath him, and Mercer took out a fishing rod from the "small world" and began fishing here, something he hadn't done in a long time.

The Eternal Ship sailed slowly forward on the sea, and Moses watched the seawater flow backward.

Fishing is very difficult.

Before long, a fish took the bait.

With a strong pull, Mercer caught a strange-looking ghost-faced fish.

It is about three meters long.

Armored scorpionfish.

A type of fish that contains highly potent toxins in its skin glands.

A single drop is enough to kill hundreds of people.

Mercer shook his head, then turned back and took it to Makino to handle.

The gray mist swallowed it back.

After dark, Moses caught six more strangely shaped large fish.

The evaluation results all indicated that the meat was of the highest quality and extremely fresh.

Back on the ship.

Mercer brought the fish over, and as soon as she released it, Reiju's eyes lit up at the small round table under the parasol:
"Armored Ghost Scorpionfish?"

After saying that, he put down his wine glass and jogged over, looking at Messer with a grin, "I'll take care of the poison in this fish."

As he spoke, his right hand transformed into steam, which adhered to the skin of the poisonous fish.

Mercer could see that the flowing steam was being manipulated with great precision, continuously extracting venom from the armored scorpionfish.

A group of people walked over with great interest to watch Reiju use steam to extract the poison.

Before long, a drop of purplish-black venom floated in the steam in her hand.

Reiju, beaming with delight, added the venom into the cocktail made by Makino.

Layers of white bubbles rose up.

The venom dissolves in the wine.

Reiju took a small, blushing sip, her face flushed with enjoyment, and looked at Mercer with a smile:

"You know, I absolutely love the potent venom of this armored scorpionfish. It tastes incredibly refreshing."

Mercer sat on the stool opposite her, watching her enjoy herself.

He stretched out his hand curiously and said, "Is it really that delicious? Let me have a sip."

Reiju's expression was somewhat strange, and she said irritably, "This is a potent poison; drinking it can kill you."

Despite uttering terrifying words, she handed him the wine glass. Anyway, with her there, he wouldn't die anytime soon given his physical condition. She could just suck it out for him herself.

Thinking to himself, he glanced at Messer's face without making a sound.

Looking at the drink, Moses took a sniff; it had a faint almond scent.

With the cup rimmed to her slightly parted lips, Mercer downed half of it in one gulp, leaving Reiju feeling incredibly distressed.

She doesn't drink such potent poisons often!
After waiting a few seconds.

"Wow, this is interesting. It tastes pretty good. It's just that my stomach is a little upset."

Mercer opened his eyes slightly.

Upon hearing that it tasted good, Reiju was in awe and quickly snatched the remaining liquor from Mercer's hand and drank it all in one gulp.

Mercer sensed patches of grayish-white markings appearing on his skin.

There was also a feeling of numbness throughout the body.

Reiju saw this scene and blinked:
"That's a deadly poison. You must be feeling terrible all over right now. Let me suck it out for you."

He stood up, leaned forward, and stretched out his right hand toward Moses.

Mercer grabbed her hand and squeezed it, smiling as he said:
"Don't worry, my body will eliminate this toxin on its own."

Moses was telling the truth; this common toxin didn't really have much effect on him.

Feeling the blood flow in my body increase, the body of all things operates spontaneously, and soon the body absorbs and decomposes this toxin.

As a transcendent being, it would be terrible if I were to be poisoned by such ordinary poison, which is not a conceptual poison.

Even if it's just a conceptual thing, Moses would be even happier.

Reiju looked at Mercer with a completely bewildered expression. "You've also undergone human modification?"

Moses shook his head and smiled:
"No, it's just that my constitution is a little special."

Reiju looked at Mercer speechlessly:

"Why didn't you say so sooner? You've wasted my feelings."

Mercer rolled her eyes at her. "You didn't ask."

Reiju laughed angrily, "Boring."

He then sat back down.

Without Mercer's command, a group of gluttons had already taken the fish Mercer had caught back to the kitchen.

They all know their stuff.

I know if I get it back quickly, I'll have extra food tonight.

……

The Grand Line.

Whiskey Peak.

On a small boat.

After many days, we finally arrived at the Grand Line.

A lot of time was wasted on the currents at the Dream Sea.

At this moment, the three of them were having lunch in a restaurant, and Ushiwakamaru looked at the newspaper in front of him with a helpless expression.

"Messer has actually transformed into the world's strongest Thunder Emperor, and also the world's number one swordsman?"

Karina, standing to the side, stared at the newspaper in shock, then glanced at Kuina, whose eyes were burning with intensity, and couldn't help but mutter:
"You look so determined to fight. You don't mean you're planning to challenge one of those monsters, do you?"
"You'll definitely die!"

Karina the little fox has come to accept these two powerful companions during this time.

Kuina's lips curled into a slight smile:
"I have three goals for going to sea."

First, we need to find the remains of our ancestors and the ancestral black sword, Qiushui.

Second, defeat Moses.

Third, to become the world's greatest swordsman.

Now that my second and third goals overlap, how could I not be happy?
You're right, aren't you, Uncle?

Niu Niu Ruowan smiled and nodded vigorously:
"Then let's set off for the new world."
