I'm at the top of One Piece

"It's open! It's open! It's sea king-style grilled pork ribs, with bone broth and rice. Delicious!"

Moses laughed.

He glanced at Perona, who was sleeping like a log, walked over, grasped her ankles, and shook them, just like shaking a blanket.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Startled awake, Perona looked at Mercer in alarm, then her face darkened, and her spirit emerged from her body, slapping Mercer across the face.

"The Ghost King".

A sleazy ghost doll, baring its teeth and claws, charged toward Mercer's face.

Ignore it.

A subtle deterrent effect on consciousness.

Mercer released her ankle, a quiet arc of black and red electricity crackling between the fingers of his right hand. He slapped her spirit body, pressing her back into her physical form.

The next second, Perona suddenly sat up, mouth open, arms outstretched, revealing her white teeth as she lunged at Mercer, ready to bite.

He slapped her on the forehead again, then gently pushed her away, sending her back to where she came from.

Perona rolled around on the bed in a fit of rage, muttering curses under her breath.

Moses chuckled, "Dinner's ready! Sea King-style roasted ribs, rice, and bone broth. Want to come and eat?"

"eat!"

Grinding her little white teeth, she wriggled out of bed, got out, and put on her little black leather shoes.

Pedrone glared at Ya Dabao and raised her chin: "You stinky bird, get me and Messer out of here."

Ya Dabao yelled, "You little devil, who are you ordering around?"

He then activated his ability, and ripples appeared on the window, as did on Mercer and Perona.

The two disappeared from there.

Nico Robin watched this scene with a mixture of envy and confusion in her eyes, before realizing she was still there.

No?

Am I being completely ignored?

Ya Dabao tilted his head, curiously examining her.

……

Warship mess hall.

Mercer and Perona arrived here.

As soon as they entered, they encountered a group of six teenagers.

Will's eyes lit up when he saw Mercer and Perona walking together. "Hey, thanks for what happened before."

Mercer laughed, nodded, and casually patted his arm.

"This is a deal."

Perona asked curiously, "Merser? What kind of deal?"

Hearing this, Will blushed slightly in embarrassment, and Mercer chuckled mischievously.

"It's nothing, you won't lose anything anyway."

has a problem?

Perona thought back to her first encounter with Mercer that day, and it seemed that it was the thieves who told Mercer their location.

His expression turned strange, and he glared at them fiercely. He grabbed Mercer's arm with both hands, and a spirit arm suddenly emerged from his palm.

"Negative ghosts."

Four ghost dolls flew back and forth between them, passing through their chests one after another.

The spirit was withdrawn.

She covered her mouth and laughed happily, "Hmph, serves you right, who told you to tattle on me like that?"

As she spoke, she grabbed Moses's arm and led him toward the food serving window.

Several young men and women remained kneeling on the ground, chanting words of seditious rites.

Moses glanced back, and all the marines in the restaurant looked at him with strange expressions.

"Of all people to offend, you had to offend the petty Peipei. You're just unlucky!"

Mercer brought two servings of food and went to a table first, handing one of them to Ya Dabao.

"I've eaten plums before."

"Yes, I know. I need you to deliver this to the person in the castle. She hasn't eaten yet."

"Gah!"

Ripples spread across Ya Dabao's body as the plate and food were returned to Perona's room.

Nicole Robin stared blankly at the steaming food that suddenly appeared on the floor in front of her, ripples spreading across it.

At this moment, Ya Dabao landed on Perona's bed, his sharp eyes fixed on her:

"Mei, I had this brought to you. It's delicious, eat it while it's hot."

Nicole Robin hesitated, unsure of their meaning, but then stopped thinking about it. She was hungry; she'd eat first.

He picked up his plate, sat down on the sofa, and began to eat in small bites.

Warship mess hall.

After eating.

Moses arrived at the top deck of the warship.

Leaning against the fence.

Watching the orange-red sun sink into the sea, turning the entire sea surface a fiery red color.

The sea looked like it was on fire.

Looking up at the sky, there was a blurry black dot directly above. That was Ya Dabao, who had flown to an unknown altitude.

"Oh my, I didn't expect you to be so relaxed. I haven't seen you all afternoon."

Kuzan walked over.

Leaning against Moses, he scratched his head, a troubled look on his face:

"The sunset is so beautiful!"

“Speak like a human being,” Moses said speechlessly. “Say what you want to say, there’s no need to be so secretive.”

Kuzan: "."

He took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Mercer, and his eyes became somewhat deep.

"Is Nicole Robin with you?"

"Yes, it's with me."

Somewhat surprised by Mercer's directness, he watched Mercer in silence.

Moses nodded, turning to look at him with a calm expression. It was impossible to discern Kuzan's meaning or what he was thinking.

"Do you want her? Do you want to arrest her? If you want her, I can give her to you."

Kuzan looked away, and the atmosphere between them became somewhat silent. After a brief silence, Kuzan frowned and said somewhat angrily:

"I didn't object to you going to rescue her, but I also didn't say you should take her with you, did I?"

Do you realize how troublesome her identity is? If others find out you're hiding her, your life will never be peaceful again, and it won't just be trouble for you, it will also cause trouble for Grandpa Garp.

"Are you serious?" Mercer looked at him calmly. "She's right here, and if she wants to, I have no power to resist you."

You have a chance.

Should we do it?

Kuzan scratched his head in frustration, then turned and stared intently at Moses: "Kid, do you really think I wouldn't dare?"

"Dare not?" Moses laughed. "Or don't you want to?"

Moses just stared straight at him.

After a long while, Kuzan raised his hand and punched Mercer on the head. The movement was slow, and Mercer could easily have dodged it.

But Moses didn't dodge.

This was also a test.

In the end, the fist stopped at Moses' forehead, not landing. Kuzan's lips twitched, and his eyes flashed with anger.

Why didn't you dodge?

“You have no intention to kill me.” Mercer grinned. “Besides, you’re very strong. I can’t beat you right now, so there’s no point in hiding.”

"And most importantly, I have nothing to fear on this ship. Grandpa won't let me get killed. At most, I'll just get a beating."

And you probably won't kill me. We don't have any irreconcilable conflicts.

Moses was conflicted, but at least on this ship, Kuzan wouldn't make a move.

But this matter must be clarified on the ship.

What is Kuzan really thinking?

He exhaled a wisp of cold air.

Kuzan shook his head helplessly. "You little brat, you're really annoying. Be serious, what are your plans for that girl?"

Harboring her is a serious crime. Are you prepared to go against the world?

Moses laughed and said, "Then why don't we just drop her off somewhere after we get past Reverse Mountain? What do you think of the Grand Line?"

"Are you saying she's not living a miserable life enough? Are you adding fuel to the fire?"

"How about we go to Reverse Mountain and you find a chance to dump her in the East China Sea? There probably aren't many people in the East China Sea who know her, right?"
