I'm at the top of One Piece

"Hehe, interesting."

"Should I try to materialize this gift in reality?" Moses pondered. "Hmm, I feel like I'm missing a bit of inspiration. Oh well, let it happen naturally. I'll practice hard these next few days and try to materialize it in reality."

As a life hack, it's still somewhat useful for Moses.

More importantly, the locks in this world are generally just so-so.

The vast majority of them are very simple and primitive.

……

Children need to go to bed early because they are growing. Mercer and Ace took a bath in a large tub in a cubicle on the second floor.

I slept on a makeshift bed on the floor.

Staring at the unfamiliar ceiling, Mercer squinted and used his breathing technique to experience his own body.

By using Observation Haki to perceive one's own body, and continuously deepening one's perception along with one's breath, one can train one's spirit and will.

At this moment, Ace spoke up:

"I can't sleep. We're the same age, so why are you so much better than me?"

A few seconds later, seeing that Mercer was ignoring him and hearing the faint breathing beside his ear, Ace felt a little annoyed.

Are you asleep?

"In the end, no."

Mercer spoke calmly, "It's about cultivation methods. Do you know what cultivation is?"

"Eating, running, boxing."

"This is what my stinky grandpa taught me."

Hearing the words beside her, Moses curled his lip and said, "How vulgar!"

Ace suddenly sat up and threw off the blanket.

"You're calling me vulgar? Do you want to fight?"

"What's the rush? Look at you, you're in such a hurry, and you can't beat me anyway."

Mercer propped himself up on his left elbow on the floor mat, turned to the side, looked at Ace with a defiant expression, and said with a grin:

"Call me brother, and I'll teach you cultivation."

Ace snorted, "I won't call you that."

"Then I will learn cultivation methods and become stronger and stronger. You can forget about being stronger than me in the future. You will only ever be my younger brother."

Ace's eye twitched, and he turned his face away, clenching his fists. After a few seconds, he stammered, "Brother."

Mercer chuckled. "Didn't you hear me? Speak louder, like a girl. Not pleasant at all."

Seeing Ace trembling, Mercer waited a moment, then raised her voice slightly:

"elder brother!!"

"Make it bigger."

Ace's face turned bright red. He suddenly turned around, grabbed Mercer's shoulder, pulled Mercer up, and took a deep breath.

"elder brother!!!!"

A deafening roar erupted.

The whole house seemed to tremble slightly.

Suddenly, Mercer felt a commotion coming from the first floor below.

At the same time, a roar came from below, and Dadan's voice howled:

"Ace!! Are you trying to fly to the moon by staying up so late?! Quiet down, you idiot! If you howl again, get out and sleep."

Bang!

"What's all the noise about? Are you trying to die from staying up so late?"

Garp slammed his hand on the ground and roared, "All of you, shut up!"

The room fell silent instantly.

Mercer looked at Ace, seeing his smug expression, and said calmly, "We'll talk about it tomorrow. Go to sleep now."

After saying that, he leaned back, covered himself with the blanket, and continued to sleep.

A slight snoring sound appeared in less than three seconds.

Ace was left staring wide-eyed.

……

The next day.

The morning air was exceptionally fresh, and the green grass on the road was covered with dewdrops.

Mercer was jogging along the path, with a little tail following closely behind him.

He controlled the speed, keeping Ace in a state where he was about to catch up, but couldn't catch up no matter what.

Listening to his heavy, labored breathing.

A while later.

Moses slowed down.

Ace rushed over immediately.

A few seconds later, Ace looked back and saw that Mercer had stopped and started walking slowly.

He walked over with an angry expression.

"Why did you stop running? I'm about to overtake you."

"Your imagination."

Mercer spoke calmly.

Ace raised an eyebrow, about to lash out.

Mercerman explained methodically, "The so-called practice is simply breathing."

Upon hearing this, Ace immediately fell silent. He wasn't stupid; he could tell that Mercer was much stronger than him.

It's just that they're unwilling to admit defeat.

The principles of breathing, how to breathe, and how to learn.

Mercer spoke clearly to Ace.

And they provide hands-on guidance.

Just like the day he taught Hancock, one silver needle after another was inserted into Ace's breathing points.

Guide him step by step.

……

After breakfast, Ace coughed every now and then.

Only Garp knew what was going on.

As for the others, they just thought Ace might have caught a cold.

Walking down the mountain.

Karp observed Mercer's breathing rhythm, something he hadn't paid much attention to before and hadn't noticed. Now that he was paying attention, he found it increasingly profound.

She was breathing in her own rhythm, and her eyes were filled with increasing surprise.

Not long after,

We arrived at the warship.

After collecting the medicinal herbs purchased by Bogart, Mather and Garp arrived at Slaven's house. As soon as they entered, Garp happily took Luffy from them.

He held it in the crook of his arm and played with it.

Mercer went inside and used a small medicine pot to demonstrate to Ah Ying how to brew this medicine.

After going through the process once.

And then write her a detailed procedure.

The herbal decoction is ready.

As Mercer looked at the naked baby in front of him, he precisely inserted a silver needle into the acupoint in the baby's navel.

They gently twisted and ground the material using a special technique.

The baby's face visibly turned rosy, and he began to cry loudly.

After the baby stopped crying, Mercer slowly fed him the lukewarm "medicine" through a straw.

After a simple demonstration, the baby's mother, Ah Ying, was asked to operate it.

The entire process is complete.

Another hour or so passed.

Not being physically tired is a hassle.

Seeing that he was no longer needed, Moses went out.

Holding a fishing rod, he went to play on the beach not far from the courtyard.

There's a rocky outcrop over there, which is said to be a great spot for fishing.

Mercer is eager to try these kinds of new things.

Because it is a village near the sea, as long as you face the sea, no matter which way you go, you will eventually reach the seaside.

On a rocky beach, Mercer sat on a rock close to the sea, baited his hook with fresh bait, and, relying on his memory of the casting motion, gave the rod a strong jerk, sending the hook perfectly into the water.

Watching the reed float drift on the sea, Mercer sat calmly on a rock, gazing at the boundless ocean.

I could hear the sound of the waves and feel the sea breeze on my skin.
