I'm at the top of One Piece

Mercer laughed and said, "I already had a piece, but I just didn't have a hand to hold it."

Bogart pursed his lips, then couldn't help but ask, "Seriously, don't you give away those crow eggs you laid?"

“No need to see me off,” Mercer said. “That’s Ya Da Bao’s cub, it’s in charge. Or you can go outside and catch one yourself, and I’ll train it for you for free.”

"Okay then. I'll think about it."

Bogart ate with relish. He wasn't angry at all; he just felt a little embarrassed, so he took the opportunity to run away.

As an adult, he wouldn't get angry so easily, nor would he hold a grudge against Moses.

Besides, Moses wasn't talking nonsense.

It's just that I'm not good with women.

a few days later.

Around 5 p.m.

The warship docked smoothly at the windmill village pier.

Mercer and Garp disembarked.

We arrived at the village chief's house at the east end of the village.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard two childish voices banging on it.

Slab opened the door and came out.

He was furious the moment he saw Garp, his beard bristling and eyes bulging.

"Did my front door offend you? Is it really necessary? It's like this every time I come over."

Garp chuckled, casually pushed him aside, and went inside.

Mercer shrugged at Slab, whose face was dark, and said, "Hello, Uncle."

Slab laughed when he saw Moses, but his face darkened even more when he heard Moses address him.

“Little Messer, I’m only a few years younger than Garp, I’m also of the grandfather generation.”

"But you look young."

"Mercy said with a grin."

Slab looked helpless yet somewhat pleased. "Oh well, whatever you want."

Moses and he went into the house.

In the living room, two two-year-old toddlers were playing on the floor, laughing and joking.

At this moment, Garp stood aside, cheerfully calling out the names of the two little ones. When the two little ones came over, he picked them up and held them in his arms.

He rubbed his beard against this and that, but the two little ones kept dodging away, disgusted.

Moses watched for a while, teased and played with it for a bit, then took the fishing rod from Slab's house to prepare for fishing.

Rocky beach.

In the same spot as last time, Mercer sat on the reef, baited his hook, and forcefully cast his line.

The fishing hook fell into the sea in a perfect parabola, and the float bobbed on the surface of the sea, rising and falling with the waves.

With his fishing rod in hand and the sea breeze blowing, Mercer quietly enjoyed this pleasure that only anglers could understand.

Feeling the afternoon sun shining on my body, my whole body felt warm and comfortable, a feeling that I couldn't experience on Cigu Island.

After a while.

After circling the village in mid-air, Ya Da Bao fell from the sky and landed on the rocks next to Messer.

Tilting his head to look at Mercer, Ya Da Bao asked curiously in a hoarse voice:

"Mei, what are you doing?"

Mercer chuckled, tilting his head to nuzzle Crow Da Bao's head. "Fishing, of course. What else can we do?"

"Fishing, come ashore, and I'll eat?"

Ya Dabao's bird-like face was very aloof.

Messer smiled and said, "We'll talk about it once you catch it. If you can't, you can just catch some shellfish on the shore and eat them yourself."

Upon hearing the word "shell," Ya Da Bao was somewhat confused. It had never eaten shellfish on Cigu Island; it was too cold there, and it had never even seen them before.

"Be, that, what?"

Chapter 36 Beach Barbecue!

"Look, that's it."

Mercer looked around at the submerged parts of the surrounding rocks and quickly discovered oysters clinging to a rock.

Pointing, Mercer said, "That's it. You can pry open the oyster shell and eat it. The meat is especially fresh and tender."

Ya Dabao took off directly, skimming the surface of the sea, and used its sharp claws to snatch an oyster from the reef.

Fly into the sky and drop the oysters onto a rock below.

A crisp cracking sound.

The oyster shells were smashed open.

Mercer saw Ya Da Bao fly down, press down with its claws, and use its sharp beak to open the shell, tasting the fresh seafood.

A palm-sized oyster was devoured in two bites.

Mercer smiled and asked, "How does it taste?"

"Caw~, so tender and fresh! I want more!" Ya Dabao's eyes lit up as he continued to grab oysters to eat.

"Mei, you eat."

A moment later, Ya Da Bao brought over a piece of smashed oyster and said to Moses.

“Okay.” Mercer smiled and did not refuse Ya Da Bao’s kindness. He clamped the fishing rod between his legs and reached out to take the oyster.

When you eat it, it's soft, smooth, and bouncy, with a subtle sweetness in its umami flavor, but also a noticeable fishy taste.

After finishing the meal, Mercer said, "Actually, they taste even better when they're roasted. Go and gather some dry wood, and I'll go back and get some seasoning. We'll eat roasted oysters here in a bit."

Ya Da Bao nodded and flew away. Mei Se secured the fishing rod in a crevice in the reef and then returned to the warship.

Before long, cooking oil, sesame oil, oyster sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped green onions, steamed fish soy sauce, and chopped onions were prepared in the kitchen.

It also comes with a special iron grill for barbecuing.

Along the way, they were pointed at and gossiped about by some villagers.

When we arrived at the reef,

A pile of dry firewood had already been prepared by Ya Dabao and thrown into a rocky pit.

They built a fire pit with stones, lit the wood, and the fire roared up. Moses went to the rock pile to look for oysters and other edible shellfish.

In no time, they had found a large pile of them. They used the short sword Hanlu to pry open the oysters and washed them in clean seawater.

Half an hour later.

I was lucky today; a fish actually took the bait. It was an unknown sea fish, and quite big, weighing seven or eight pounds. Mercer happily gutted and cleaned it.

With everything prepared, the wood charred and there was little smoke, the wire mesh over the fire pit was brushed with oil, and Moses placed the oyster with one left shell on the mesh.

Sprinkle the oyster meat inside the shell with scallions and garlic, then drizzle with oyster sauce and sesame oil. In no time, the oysters, grilled over charcoal, will sizzle and release oil.

ripe.

Not minding the heat, he quickly took a piece of oyster and placed it in front of Ya Dabao.

"Eat up, if it's too hot, wait a bit."

Mercer took the roasted oysters and placed them between himself and Ya Da Bao, then continued roasting them.

Brush the nearly cooked fish with sauce, flip it over and continue grilling.

“I wasn’t wrong, you really are here. Little Messer.”

At this time,

A familiar voice came from behind, and Moses turned his head to look.

A pretty fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl appeared a dozen meters away.

She wore a white plaid shirt under a red sleeveless jacket, and her straight, slightly fleshy legs were covered with light blue trousers with a simple pattern.

On her feet were a pair of brown-black deerskin ankle boots.

Skin exposed to air is fair and smooth.

Her long, dark green hair was tied in a high ponytail at the back of her head.

A strand of hair fell on each side of her forehead, and her pretty face with delicate features was looking at her with a sullen expression.

Mercer blinked, looking at the suddenly larger Makino with some confusion. "How did you know I was here?"

"What do you think?" Makino walked over, cheeks puffed out, and plopped down on the rock opposite Mercer, not caring about the dirt.

"You were seen carrying a barbecue grill, Mr. Karp's grandson went to the beach to fish."

Everyone in the port knew about it. My house isn't far from the dock, so I heard about it.

You came all this way but didn't even come to see me. You just came to have a picnic all by yourself. Don't you even consider me your older sister?

Why didn't you come when Mr. Garp came over the last few times? Were you busy with something?

Makino stared at Mercer and complained for a long time.

What she didn't say was that after she learned that Garp's warship had arrived, she went over to ask about it.

After learning that Mercer had gone to the village chief's house, he also went there, and then learned that Mercer had come to fish, but when he came looking for him, he found nothing.

Then, not long after returning home, he heard from the villagers that half an hour earlier, Kapu's grandson seemed to have gone to a barbecue, so he rushed over.
