I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 283, Section 282: Celestial Dragons are not allowed to enter!
The pet Peipei in his arms transformed into a stone sculpture resembling someone being pushed.
Hancock's face darkened as the pink aura around her dissipated.

Exhaling, Hancock blinked as she looked at Moses, growing more and more delighted with her gaze:

My dearest! I miss you so much.

Just as she was about to give him another hug, something blocked her way. Hancock sighed, de-petrified, and threw the still-unresponsive Pepe out of the way.

"Whoaaah!"

Pepe cried out as she was thrown out, and the next second Hancock caught her.

However, in her overjoyed state, she was immediately struck through the chest by a negative phantom.

Hancock fell from the tree, landing face down with her buttocks sticking up, uttering incredibly negative sounds.

"I am sorry for being born a human. If there is an afterlife, I would like to be Mercer's shorts."

Floating in mid-air, Pepe listened to Hancock's words with twitching lips.

Robin and the others who came over were the same; how could this woman be so secretly passionate?

They'll definitely get killed soon.

The company must be dead.

Absolutely.

Seeing that Hancock was about to wake up, Pepe immediately fired another Ghost Shot through her chest.

He continued talking about how he was going to die.

"Mercy, the first thing I think of when I wake up every day is you. I wish I could be a bottle of wine so that you could drink it from my lips."

"If I have an afterlife, I wish to become air, to be absorbed into your body and become one with you forever."

"If there is an afterlife, I wish to become the blood in your body, flowing through you day and night."

Pepe just couldn't stay ghostly any longer. Hancock is a lunatic, and Pepe herself has been driven to the brink of collapse.

How did I end up helping her out?

This is a confession, right? It's definitely a perverted confession.

I will never let negative ghosts torment her again.

A few seconds later, Hancock regained her senses, got up from the ground, and looked at Moses with a blood-red face. An extreme sense of shame erupted, and the next second, her body turned into a stone statue and petrified herself.

"Hala! Hala! Hala!"

Pepe forced a dry laugh, on the verge of tears. Mercer sighed, and the gray mist spread out, engulfing her and merging into her body.

Meanwhile, the petrochemical industry was deregulated.

In her mind, Hancock felt incredibly ashamed:

"Did you hear everything?"

Mercer chuckled, "Hmm. As expected of Hancock."

"Oh my, how embarrassing!"

Immediately afterward, Hancock overloaded her senses and fainted. After three seconds, she awoke and weakly asked:

"Then what do you think of me?"

"Our current state is one where our flesh and spirit are completely fused together."

Moses felt the powerful beating of his heart, and Hancock felt their hearts beat as one.

Her consciousness calmed down.

"It gives me a sense of security."

Moses smiled in his mind's eye: "You belong to me?"

Hancock whispered:

"Yes. My body and soul, everything about me, belong to you."

Mercer smiled and said, "Thank you."

Hancock felt very safe and secure, her body and soul contained within Moses's body.

"I feel so relieved. I haven't been able to rest properly without you around, and now I'm feeling a bit sleepy."

He sank his consciousness into Moses' consciousness and fell asleep.

There's also a bit of an escapist tendency.

Moses didn't point it out.

Looking at the group of women before him, Mercer smiled and said, "It's been a long time."

Pepe looked at Mercer, pouting, and asked, "Where's that perverted guy?"

Mercer flew down from the tree and delivered a light chop to her head.

Peipei, channeling her inner drama queen, crouched down with her head in her hands, then looked up with teary eyes and said aggrievedly:
"Wow! You bullied me, I don't care, I want you to make it up to me."

With a casual wave of his hand, a peach flew over and was placed in front of her mouth. "Eat a peach."

"I'm not a monkey."

He took the peach and took a bite.

Moses looked at the women, and Robin walked over and began to recount the events that had occurred on the Ark of Eternity over the past year.

Ya Dabao would often come to report on the situation there.

After a short while, Moses listened to the developments there and smiled:
"Okay, I understand. So, are you planning to continue your trip or go back to stay for a while?"

Yamato looked at Moses pouting:
"And what about you? Are you planning to go back?"

"Robin said that the island ship is in the waters around this island, so let's go back and take a look."

Soon everyone arrived at the shore and boarded the boat.

Mercer gave the island weightlessness, causing the entire island to float and fly into the sky.

Runti asked in surprise, "Do you intend to take this island back to use as a food reserve?"

Mercer nodded: "This island is amazing, and I plan to integrate it with the stern of the ship."

The stern of the island ship will be transformed into a renewable food storage facility.

After all, a small portion of the island ship's food and supplies are currently purchased from outside.

"Mmm, it's great. The food on this island is delicious. Last time I came, I ate until I was stuffed."

A bright smile appeared on Yamato's face.

Mercer ruffled her hair and chuckled:

“That’s right, especially the peach tree on the mountaintop.”

Kureha then emerged from the cabin, drinking from a bottle of wine, and began to scrutinize Moses:

"You haven't changed much in the past year."

Messer looked at Kureha and smiled:
"Doctor Doriel, you've grown taller again."

After all, his physical age is seventeen.

Mercer blinked, looked at her and smiled, "That piece of pure gold is still in the Great Castle, isn't it? Are you planning to use it or not?"

Kureha shook her head. "I don't plan to use it now. My body still has enough room to grow. I'll use it when it reaches its peak."

Moses nodded in agreement. "That's right. Anyway, the stuff is at home. Just let me know how you plan to use it, and I'll make it for you."

……

Half a day later, Robin maneuvered the ship back to the private port at the center of the island ship and docked.

Mercer, on the other hand, was in charge of modifying the gourmet island along with the land at the stern of the island ship.

A terrifying burst of Conqueror's Haki shot out, suppressing all the creatures present.

The unique magnetic field of this region, and the division of different areas into different ferocious beast zones.

The two regions will be integrated in a reasonable way.

After doing all this, Mercer returned to the administration building and made an appearance.

After having a bottle of wine at Crocodile's place, he returned to Kuja Castle.

In the room, Hancock lay comfortably on her large bed, stretching out her delicate body.

"The beds here are still the most comfortable to sleep on."

Mercer sat on the bed, stroking Salome, who had her head resting on his lap. This snake was a bit clingy.

A clod of earth was waved in front of it, then tossed into the distance. Salome immediately darted out, bit it, and swallowed it whole.

It looked at Moses with longing eyes, its body coiled up, the tip of its tail wagging incessantly.

It looks just like a dog.

A water crystal appeared on Moses' fingertip, and as he moved his finger, Salome's eyes swayed from side to side.

leave!
Salome followed the trajectory of the water sprite's throw and darted out again, leaping out of the window.

At that moment, a pair of slender arms wrapped around Moses' neck, and Hancock said shyly:
"Why did you lure Salome out?"

Mercer turned his head and saw a stunningly beautiful face appear. He smiled and lowered his head to gently kiss the nearest fair and tender arm.

Look at the tears glistening in her eyes.

Moses asked her with a smile:

"Want something to eat?"

Hancock blinked and nodded slightly.

The bed curtains fell.

A unique battle has begun.

……

After the storm.

Hancock's eyes were filled with love as she held him tightly, her voice as soft as a kitten's:

"Will you stay with me all night?"

Mercer gently stroked the smooth back. "Hmm, we're not leaving tonight. Let's continue our sparring."

A cry of surprise!
The primal battle has begun once again.

The night sky was filled with twinkling stars, but a cloud obscured the moon.

Not many people lived in the palace of the Nine Serpents.

There were only two younger sisters.

In the silent, deserted palace.

In a room.

Sonia and Gorud lay on the bed with helpless expressions.

"My sister is in such high spirits as soon as she comes back after a year apart."

"Sister Sonia, do you think we might suddenly have a little niece someday?"

"Why not my nephew?"

"Look, you're joking again. It seems like we've never had a boy in our family."

"I wonder if Mercer prefers boys or girls. My older sister probably prefers girls, right?"

"You're wrong. My sister only likes what Mather likes. She doesn't care whether it's a man or a woman."

"That's right!"

……

As dawn broke, Mercer hoisted his exhausted opponent and stepped into a vortex of gray mist.

Water flows converge, causing temperature fluctuations.

Moses embraced Hancock as they relaxed together in the hot water.

Leaning against Moses's chest, Hancock's languid voice came: "My husband, you are so powerful. I am no match for you, but I will not admit defeat. We will fight again another day."

Mercer nodded, savoring the afterglow.

……

For the next two weeks, Moses fought tirelessly against different enemy forces every day.

He persuaded them one by one.

It's a pity that they each fought their own battles, too proud and arrogant to join forces against the enemy.

The result was that they were all beaten until they cried and called for their fathers.

After the battle, Moses, with an invincible aura, hid under the peach tree at the stern of the ship.

They ate peaches to replenish their supplies for future battles.

After this long battle, Moses realized something.

Even those who have transcended the limits are no match for this terrifying enemy force, which is as fierce as wolves and tigers.

It gets tiring too.

Having poured out the desires that had accumulated in his heart, he contemplated himself under the Peach Tree of Moses, merging with heaven and earth, and sensing the essential flame that existed in the world.

A day later, Messer dived into the deep sea.

They found an underwater volcano.

Sitting cross-legged in the crater.

The gray fog spread downwards, engulfing everything in its path.

A massive amount of scorching lava was swallowed up by the small world.

The decomposition and refining process yields earth essence, as well as a completely new fire essence.

"Identification"

【Fire Essence (A+)】: A fire element essence extracted from a large amount of natural lava, it has an exceptionally abundant natural energy. It is edible and long-term use can temper the body's energy, break through limits, and improve vitality.

Each high-quality fire essence is absorbed into the body, and the most essential flame frequency fluctuations appear within the body.

It tempers Mercer's physical and spiritual body, as well as the domineering energy within him.

The flames washed over everything inside his body.

Sitting cross-legged in the crater of a deep-sea volcano, Mercer's body radiated a translucent, flame-like quality.

An active volcano was completely swallowed up, and Moses continued to delve deeper, searching for the underground lava.

Devouring again and again.

Luck is on its side.

Mercer also discovered many rare metallic minerals underground, which he also devoured and refined in the small world.

The island ship stopped at sea.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On board the ship.

A group of people were having a tea party in the bar.

Various pastries and drinks were laid out on the table.

He was reading the newspaper, making light of interesting things that happened at sea.

Yamato buried his head in his rice, a happy smile on his face.

Erii, Ulti, Nami, and Nojiko ate strawberry cake while Conis played a beautiful harp.

Makino, radiant with a bright smile, brought over a plate of pastries and sat down.

Drinking alcohol that they have refined themselves.

Hancock, standing to the side, exuded a queen-like languor as she sipped her drink.

Pepe was quite far away from her, and looked at her with some fear in her eyes. Reiju and Robin sat together, looking at an exquisite invitation on the table in front of them.

This is an invitation I just received this morning.

Looking at the pirate symbol on it, it's an invitation to a tea party by the Big Mom Pirates.

Asia smiled and asked:
"Have you decided? We've received an invitation to Big Mom's tea party in three months. Shall we go there?"

Robin's eyes flickered slightly. "It's fine whether he goes or not. If he doesn't go, we don't need to worry about it. If he does go, who will go with him? Or should we all go together?"

But wouldn't it be a bit unfair to go together?

Pepe complained, "Even if Messer goes by himself, it's still bullying, isn't it?"

Hancock chuckled:

"Since the younger sisters don't want to go, then let the older sister and my dear go!"
"Perfect timing for our honeymoon."

Everyone's mouth twitched.

They all shook their heads in refusal.

“You’re not suitable. If we’re going to a tea party, it would be a bit of an overreaction to bring you along. You’re too eye-catching.”

Robin chuckled and declined.

Hancock pursed her lips.

A group of fox spirits.

Robin's eyes flickered as she looked at Yamato, a smile playing on her lips: "Why don't we let Yamato go? She's very strong, and she and Mather can look after each other."

A thoughtful look crossed everyone's eyes; Yamato, who was to become buddies with Moses, would be the most suitable.

People can rest assured about the single-minded Yamato.

Upon hearing Robin's words, Yamato blinked, then nodded and smiled happily:
"Sure, I've heard that Auntie's World of Wonders consists of some delicious islands, with so many delicious foods."

I've been wanting to try it for a while now.

As she spoke, a happy smile flashed in her eyes.

Makino and the others' lips twitched; these were the kinds of words Yamato could utter.

A glance is a sign of agreement.

Runti blinked, listened to their words, and a slight smile appeared on her lips: Hmph! If you won't let me play, then I'll go by myself.

With a quick glance, she muttered:
"But Mercer has disappeared again. He said he went to the deep sea to cultivate, but now he's out of contact again!"

The people in the cabin were stunned for a moment. That's right, everyone had disappeared. They were all speechless.

"Forget it, let's see how it goes. If he doesn't come back, we won't go."

"You're not giving her face?"

"Who cares about her? We're not afraid of her. Let her come and cause trouble here if she dares."

"Huh? We can't go? I was thinking of having a big meal then."

Yamato pouted, looking somewhat disappointed.

Everyone's eyes twitched; this silly girl.

Even Hancock was speechless; she was truly impressed by this guy who could fight her to a standstill.

A month later, Moses emerged from the underground lava.

The small world contained a large amount of fire spirit, earth spirit, and water spirit. I just returned to the ship and saw everyone here.

When Yamato saw Mercer return, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over, grinning as he put his arm around Mercer's shoulder.

He laughed heartily:
"Messer, we have an invitation to Aunt Zhang's tea party. They said you should take me to get something to eat."

Shall we go there and have some fun?

As she spoke, she looked at Moses with anticipation in her eyes and a bright smile on her face.

Moses raised an eyebrow.
tea party?
They actually invited me, offering such kindness for no reason. It seems they want something from me.

Messer looked at the anticipation in Yamato's eyes, and saw that he really wanted to go and have fun.

He thought for a few seconds and then smiled:

"Okay, let's go take a look later."

"Yay! Mercer, I love you the most!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Mercer's waist, lifted her up, and spun her around.

Mercer's eyes twitched, and he grabbed her cheek and tugged at it. "Put me down right now, are you a child?"

Yamato's eyes gleamed with joy as he put Messer down.

He chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head.

The people standing nearby all had smiles on their faces; Yamato was really interesting.

They completely fail to make you feel like they're your opponent.

Looking up at Mercer, her eyes were filled with a special emotion. Mercer ruffled her hair and smiled.
"How much longer?"

Yamato chuckled and said, "There are still about two months left, until May 25th."

Mercer pondered, "Then we'll set off in a month, and take you somewhere to have some fun along the way."

Yamato's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.

Mercer returned to the bar in the cabin, ordered a Bloody Mary, and downed it in one gulp.

Enjoy the unique spiciness.

After a month in the underwater lava, I've gotten used to the high-temperature environment.

The terrifying affinity of the four elements—that kind of environment is a huge challenge for Moses now.

It's just a drizzle.

Makino's eyes were filled with laughter:
"Want to come over for a drink tonight?"

Moses nodded: "Since you've invited me, of course I won't refuse."

Makino smiled.

Anyway, it's pretty much an open secret now. Although no one has directly brought it up, everyone understands it implicitly.

If you want to eat something, you have to be quick; if you're slow, you'll have to wait.

……

Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

After finishing his daily training, he would go to Ace and the others for guidance, then play games with them, or they would come to him.

Every day is very fulfilling.

The fantasy city lives up to its name.

It is a place that more and more people on the sea yearn for.

This is also an area that world governments are increasingly wary of.

Naval warships are constantly following and monitoring the island ship.

It's like an ironclad frigate.

Sometimes, the marines among them would come here for a visit.

After all, the Eternal Ark is a compliant and legal world-class metropolis recognized by the world government.

Sometimes Moses wondered why those foolish Celestial Dragons didn't come here to play. If they did, they could always bring him some fun.

First, seize the opportunity, then extort money from them.

Unfortunately, it seems they do have brains; the Eternal Ark is off-limits to them.

In conclusion,

Celestial Dragons are not allowed to enter.
