I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 281, Question 280: Existence is its own justification!

The two were walking down the street.

Erii, linking her arm with Messe's, turned her head to look at him, her eyes sparkling with curiosity:

"So, brother, you don't want that woman anymore?"

"Why would I want her? I don't even know her. Besides, I would never want someone who would dare to tamper with me."

"Tamper with it?"

Using her Observation Haki to sense the entertainment complex, Messer gave her a simple explanation. After listening, Erii pouted, clearly unhappy.

"Then I'll go teach her a lesson."

As he spoke, he didn't loosen his grip on her arm; Moses shook his head:
"She has already been taught a lesson enough."

Walking down the street, eating snacks I bought.

As they wandered around, they came to a corner of the city. Moses looked up at the blacksmith shop, pushed open the door and went in. Ding-a-ling!

The people inside were taken aback when they saw Moses, then immediately became tense:

"you"

Mercer's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed a burst of Conqueror's Haki to lull him to sleep peacefully. He then casually pulled out a few Berries and placed them on the table.

The gray mist devoured and merged with Erii.

Within the small world, pieces of high-quality metal were fused and refined to extract their essence, and life alloys were forged. Before long, the crisp clanging of hammering echoed from the blacksmith's shop.

Not long after, Mercer looked at the golden bracelet in his hand, covered with mysterious patterns—the Lucky Bracelet.

Separating Erii from her body, he grabbed her right wrist. Erii blinked, her five fingers closed, and Messe put the wristband on her.

Erii looked at the exquisite and pure gold bracelet on her wrist with great delight:
“Brother, Erii likes it.”

Mercer rubbed her little head and laughed:

"nice! You love it."

Erii sensed the power within the bracelet—the ability to manipulate fate—and at the same time, she could perceive a unique frequency fluctuation. She looked at Moses and blinked.
"Brother, your luck is so good, it feels like it's tangible, it's amazing!"

Holding Mercer's left hand, the two walked out of the blacksmith's shop and came outside. Their breathing rhythms were synchronized, and their auras naturally blended together.

Mercer sensed that ability to manipulate fortune, and could freely absorb and bestow upon himself or others the degree of fortune.

"Represents the power of good fortune."

Erii sensed Messe's current understanding and together they learned about the various applications of this ability. This was a top-tier Paramecia-type Devil Fruit.

"Manipulating fortune, indirectly controlling cause and effect. This ability is at a very high level."

Although conceptual forces are all fundamental forces of the world, concepts also vary in strength.

Erii nodded, agreeing with what Mercer said, because whatever Mercer said was right.

Sensing her thoughts, Mercer smiled, and the two went to the hotel room.

After washing up, Erii lay in bed, playing with the bracelet on her wrist, holding Messe's hand, and absorbing his fortune.
"My brother is so lucky."

As his luck reached its limit, Messer sensed his fluctuating fortune. Erii then began to give back the luck she had absorbed, causing the fluctuations to become even more pronounced.

Mercer was experiencing this special power, and Erii was having a lot of fun.

"Brother, during my luckiest moments, I feel like my wishes come true, and that feeling is magical."

Moses nodded and smiled:

"It's just luck!"

Erii smiled brightly, having found a fun toy. "What do you think will happen to them if I go back and absorb all their luck?"

Moses thought about it; the imagery was too beautiful.

"Then let's go back and try it out. By the way, don't play with Connie. She's too weak. I'm afraid she might get into serious trouble if I'm not careful."

It is true that some people can die from bad luck in this world.

For example, there's that unlucky girl who almost got her first blood taken by the Supreme Ladder, though she didn't reveal her name.

"Yes, Erii knows."

……

the next morning.

The moment I opened my eyes, I felt a sense of joy.

Erii came into view.

Erii seemed to sense something, and opened her eyes as well. She blinked and brought her delicate, slightly parted lips closer.

Soft and comfortable.

After getting up, the two checked out of the room.

Had breakfast.

The gray mist engulfed it, and a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky and disappeared from there.

Tezzoro spotted this scene immediately through the gold dust scattered throughout the city.

His gaze was deep, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Leaning against the headboard, holding Bakala in his arms, gently stroking her smooth back, he murmured softly:
"This incident is not your fault; that monster was a disaster."

I'll find you another suitable Devil Fruit.

Bakara nodded obediently, "Thank you, Lord Tesoro."

"Yeah, but that guy is really mysterious. He's capable of doing something like that. He's someone we can't afford to offend."

He can easily take everything from us.

Let's maintain a good relationship with the Eternal Ark from now on.

Bakara stared in shock at Tezzoro, this cruel and arrogant man, who would actually say such a thing to her.

A deep sense of emotion welled up in my heart.

Are they finally considered one of us?
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.

This is the depths of the new world, a place of constant and terrifying natural disasters, a nightmare for ordinary people.

For someone like Messer, the environment here is no different from the rest of the world.

Flying high in the sky.

At noon, it flew and landed on an island.

This place is full of strange and ferocious beasts, which are very powerful and have a strong fragrance.

Moses looked surprised; before him stood a herd of wild boars, their bodies muscular and robust.

That's not what's strange. What's strange is that their backs are shaped like sliced, steaming, and fragrant steaks.

Erii stared blankly at the beasts, then looked at Messer:
"Brother, am I dreaming? Can this animal be eaten fresh?"

Moses was also somewhat bewildered, but existence is its own justification, and his Conqueror's Haki was overflowing.

A chilling aura swept over the herd of beasts, and one after another, the ferocious creatures collapsed to the ground, unable to rise.

Approaching a five-meter-long beast, he grabbed a piece of meat and tore it off.

It took a gentle sniff and a light lick.

Let's test the poison first.

The next moment, I took a bite.

The eyes are slightly open, with a hint of saltiness, about 80% cooked, the meat is firm and chewy, an indescribable deliciousness.

Eat it in two bites.

Erii curiously picked off a piece of meat and ate it, looking somewhat bewildered:

"This animal was actually cooked, and it was still alive."

The two men ate all the meat from the backs of the wild boars, and the animals still didn't seem to be dead.

"Brother, is this phenomenon reasonable?"

Mercer shook his head. "I don't know either, but if it exists, it must have a reason."

There are many islands in this world like this, such as candy, cakes, juice, and meat; it's not impossible that we might encounter a special kind.

After finishing the all-you-can-eat pork chop, a short while later we encountered a group of nut baboons whose backs were covered with some kind of nut, and a sweet aroma wafted up.

Upon seeing Moses and his companion, they took nuts from their backs and threw them at each other. The nuts exploded violently upon landing.

However, the aroma of ripe nuts spread throughout the area during the explosion.

Before long, the ground was covered with baboons.

Mercer picked up a piece of brownish-yellow nut, put it in his mouth, squinted his eyes, and thought, "Delicious."

Erii, with a blank look in her eyes, ate as well, saying, "It's delicious."

Walking along the island's paths, you'll see pitcher plants, fruit-scented flowers, honey-roasted bears, and breadfruit trees.

Bang!

He stomped his foot into the ground, looking at the black earth beneath his feet. He pulled his foot out, dug it out with his fingers, and smelled it.

Erii also took a little bit with her finger, smelled it, licked it, and looked at Messer in surprise:
"Is it hot chocolate?"

Nodding,
Moses stared speechlessly at the black earth, five hundred meters in diameter, sensing with his Observation Haki that it was at least a hundred meters deep below.
"Hmm, Chocolate Land, this area is the dessert zone."

We crossed a small hill.

What you see is a dense array of cake mounds of all kinds.

Erii tilted her head and looked over, letting out a gurgling sound, "Brother, is this heaven?"

Moses looked at the dark chocolate stains on the girl's white skirt and laughed:

"Let's go try the cakes here and see if they're delicious."

Before long, the mountain peaks were devoured.

As Mercer sensed this place, a unique frequency fluctuation appeared, and the eaten cake peaks were regenerating at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Renewable?

The Boeing Islands are home to the carnivorous plant Stomakbaron, which is why they produce a variety of foods. However, the base of this island is entirely an island, not a living organism.

I can't figure it out, but I can sense a peculiar frequency fluctuation here.

Feeling a bit greasy after eating all the cakes here, Mercer listened to the sound of water and came to a stream with Erii.

His eyes were fixed silently on this place, inhaling the strong scent of citrus.

He flicked his finger upwards, sending two streams of water flying, and Mercer opened his mouth slightly to drink it in. It was incredibly pure orange juice.

There was absolutely no trace of water added.

Erii opened her mouth and drank the orange juice; she had already gotten used to it.

Erii and I walked downstream, and as we walked, the orange juice stream in front of us merged into a large river.

There are seven streams of fruit juice in all directions, while the main river in front of us displays seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.

Two clumps of rainbow juice were summoned, one for Erii and one for Moses. As they drank, Moses' eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's delicious; the seven different fruit juice flavors are perfectly harmonized together."

Erii took small sips, nodding repeatedly, her eyes sparkling with excitement. This was the first time she had ever experienced something so wonderful.

This ocean is truly amazing.

Moses's thoughts wandered; the source of the food and drink that grew on the earth here was indescribable, as if it had appeared out of nowhere.

The only perceptible frequency fluctuations on the island are the strange magnetic fields that permeate it.

Given the unprecedented arrangement and distribution of magnetic fields, could the situation here be related to this unique magnetic field?

The two explored the island, trying everything from hot and cold dishes to meat and vegetables, desserts and drinks.

Messe and Erii stood atop a mountain, with a strange pink tiger lying at their feet.

It's completely bald with very little fur because all its fur is a kind of dessert, and it tastes amazing.

A giant peach tree grows on the mountaintop, covered with pink peaches that look like jelly, resembling smooth fruit.

Furthermore, it has a very rich and delicate meaty texture when you eat it.

The meat is chewy, crispy, and flavorful.

Each bite offers the delicate fragrance of peach, the juicy flavor of rainbow fruit juice, and a uniquely textured, layered taste.

Looking at the tree laden with peaches, Messer turned to Erii and said, "This food island is quite peculiar. How about we stay here for a while?"

Erii nodded obediently, "I'm fine with being with my brother, no matter where we are."

Mercer rubbed the girl's head, then swallowed the gray mist, his body disintegrating into arcs of electricity and merging into the island's magnetic field.

A unique frequency fluctuation arose in my heart, and I felt the various changes here with Erii.

Furthermore, there are the various concepts associated with the Devil Fruits of Thunder, Luck, Bubble, and Absorption.

Messer and Erii entered a state of asceticism.

The sea outside was indeed in an uproar.

The old man, the Thunder Emperor, has made headlines again.

At the entertainment center, a man and a golden emperor spent billions just to compete for a hostess.

There are pictures and truth.

Countless women on the sea envied this woman named Bakala.

And then there's the extravagance of the Golden Emperor.

A tourist resort island.

Pepe stared at the newspaper in her hand, grinding her teeth, looking at Robin with a speechless expression:
"This bastard is really good at causing trouble! He's pulled off something like this, and now he's not answering his phone and has completely disappeared."

What do you think? "

Wearing a pink and white bikini and sunglasses, Robin reclines on a beach chair, sipping a cocktail, and chuckles confidently.
"Fake!"

Pepe nodded. "That guy doesn't like that kind of woman. I don't know why he did that. I'm a little curious."

"Robin, aren't you curious?"

"Pepe, you'll know when you see him, won't you?"

"You're right, aren't you, Asia?"

Asia, leaning against her, chuckled softly:
"I know that woman too. I heard she's a user of the Lucky Fruit."

She stopped talking at that point, and Robin pointed to several photos of the woman in the newspaper.

"Their complexions are very different; the faces of the people in the back are pale, as if they are enduring an unbearable pain."

Pepe looked at her, blinked, and asked with a strange look in her eyes, "You mean, Mercer isn't after her, but her fruit?"

Robin's lips curled into a slight smile:

"There are so many beautiful women in the house, and Erii, who is unrealistically beautiful, is by his side."

Do you think someone who's used to eating the finest delicacies would even look down on a woman of average looks?

Pepe nodded: "That's right, that bad guy isn't the kind of person who can't resist beautiful women. His taste isn't that bad."

"Besides, given his personality, if he really liked it, how could he possibly sell it to that Golden Emperor?"

All I can say is that that big news outlet is spreading false information and creating hype.

Peipei looked speechless. "Have you managed to contact him?"

Robin smiled and said, "No! He just vanished into thin air. I don't know where he's off gallivanting off to again."

Peipei looked at her speechlessly:
Aren't you worried about him at all?

"Why should I worry about him? If a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit wants to leave, no one can stop him."

Erii's Bubble-Bubble Fruit ability allows her to wash out anything she wants from a living being's body, and she's not afraid of being poisoned.

So, he'll come back on his own when he's had enough fun. We're on vacation now, so we don't need to worry about him.

Peipei sighed helplessly, "You really aren't worried at all."

"Worried? There's nothing to worry about. If you want to find him, you can take out your Life Card and go find him yourself."

Peipei's eyes darted around, and she chuckled:

"Okay, I'll go find him after we've finished having fun here in a few days. Are you coming?"

"Go ahead, I want to know where he's off gallivanting off to this time."

"Stubborn woman, why do you keep saying so much?"

"Heh, I think you've been wanting to."

Peipei blinked and looked at her blankly, saying:

"What are you thinking? I didn't understand."

Robin chuckled, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Never mind if you didn't understand. But, did you really not understand? Pepe, I've noticed you've been developing quite a bit lately."

An arm grew out of Peipei's body, supporting one of her teddy bears, and pinched it. "Heh! It's a nice shape."

Pepe's face darkened as a ghost shot pierced through her chest. "Stop right there!"

Robin spilled the wine he was holding onto the floor. He curled up, muttering negatively:
"I'm sorry for being born as a human. I'm so awful. If I could be reborn, I would want to be a tentacle."

Pepe quickly backed away, her eyes widening as she looked at Robin. Tentacles?

This woman's hobbies are getting weirder and weirder.

Did they play something weird?
A few seconds later, Robin stood up expressionlessly, looking at Pepe's pretty face, which was dark with anger:
"Pepe, let's have a fight."

As he spoke, he moved his foot, and his long, white, smooth leg kicked towards Peipei's bear without making a sound.

Pepe quickly transformed into her spirit form and retreated, a colorful halo flashing in her eyes as she unleashed a sloth attack.

The Conqueror's Haki, mixed with his emotional power, assaulted Robin's consciousness.
After a moment of distraction.

Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming number of spirit dolls surged out and pierced through Robin's body.

Having just entered a state of divine being, I was overwhelmed by a massive influx of emotional spirits that pierced my chest, stirring up my emotions and drowning my consciousness.

Looking at Robin, who was slumped on the ground, he looked like he had been completely ruined.

With her hands on her hips, Peipei wore an arrogant expression.

"Hah ah ah! Lady Pepe is not the same as before. Do you think you can ignore my ghost in your mere Celestial state?"

I am the Queen of Emotions and Ghosts, invincible except for Mercer. Hala hala hala.

The girls around them watched this scene with twitching lips; Peipei was going further and further down the path of being a monster.

It fell from mid-air.

The duck sat on Robin's lower abdomen.

He pressed his hands against her breasts and pursed his lips: "Disgusting bust size."

Let me think... I think I can assimilate you into a spirit and then sculpt a smaller bear for you.

what do you think? "

After she said that, the girls around her looked at Peipei in a completely different way.

This guy is so weird, how could he come up with such a weird idea?
Robin snapped out of his daze, looked at his hands wreaking havoc on his bear, and said with a helpless expression:
"I admit I was wrong, okay? If you dare touch my bear, Mercer will definitely deal with you when he gets back."

Pepe pouted: "Now you know how to beg for mercy?"

"Yes, I was wrong. You won this time."

It raised its head, gave it a hard squeeze, and let out a haughty "Hmph!"

At the same time, on the Ark of Eternity, Law and Chopper looked at the stolen experimental data in the laboratory on the second basement floor of the administration building.

They exchanged a glance, both seeing the amusement and strangeness in each other's eyes.

Law grinned slyly and said, "Chopper, something's been stolen."

Chopper chuckled and licked the malt candy on his hand: "Won't Doctor Kureha scold me when she gets back?"

At the same time, in another dimension within the laboratory, a man in a black bodysuit with horned hair ornaments watched Chopper and Law's retreating figures, a hint of tension flashing in his eyes:
"Luckily I was quick enough, otherwise I would have been discovered. Let's hurry up and leave, it would be dangerous if the whole city were placed under martial law soon."

You need to get back to the bar as soon as possible to provide proof of your presence.

Chopper and Law exchanged a glance.

To build up emotions.

Chopper suddenly shouted in a panic:

“Oh no!

Important documents have been stolen! We must notify Crocodile immediately; these documents absolutely cannot be taken by the thief.

Luo's eyes darted around in panic: "Yes, that's right, let's go quickly."

After gathering their emotions, the two quickly ran outside.
