I'm at the top of One Piece

As dusk fell.

Mercer knocked on Makino's door, and upon seeing Mercer, Makino's face puffed out: "Why are you only coming back now?"

Mercer grinned and lifted the plump rabbit in his hand, saying, "I found it on the road. It looks pretty fat. Have you eaten it yet? Let's eat this later."

Makino reached out and took it, saying helplessly, "You're not back yet, so I didn't know what you wanted to eat and I haven't made it yet."

"Hey! You don't need to wait for me. I've been practicing cultivation on the mountain with my grandpa and the others lately. Sometimes I don't even know if I'll be back in time, so you don't need to wait for me."

Eat and drink as you please.

At this moment, Ya Dabao landed from the sky, looked at Makino and said, "Honey, you get a share."

As he spoke, he raised the lotus leaf bag on his paw towards Makino.

Makino was a little confused, so Messer gave her a brief explanation.

And then.

A sweet smile appeared on her face.

Once inside, they went to the bar on the first floor. Makino said, "I'll find you a jar to put the honey in later, so you can take your share with you."

"Oh, by the way, why don't you go upstairs and take a shower first? I'll go cook."

Moses nodded.

I quickly washed up and did the laundry too.

Top floor.

Watching her clothes sway in the wind, Mercer smiled, then went downstairs and soon had a meal with Makino.

The second floor.

One silver needle after another was inserted into Makino's body, continuing to help her deepen the impression of breathing.

After a long while, as her body began to tremble, Mercer pulled out the needles one by one.

Taking a deep breath, her clothes soaked with sweat, she coughed lightly, and after a moment, Makino spoke:

"I'm going to take a shower."

time flies.

When Makino came out, she saw that Mercer was already asleep. A smile appeared on her lips, and she said softly:

"She's asleep. Looks like she's tired today. She doesn't seem as infuriating as she was yesterday."

I tucked the blanket around Messer.

She turned her head and saw Ya Dabao staring at her with wide eyes, holding up his left index finger to his lips and smiling.

He went back to his room to rest with a happy expression.

……

The next day.

Moses got up early.

I had just finished washing up when I saw Makino's room door open.

Wearing her pajamas, Makino came out and smiled at Moses:

Good morning, are you going for a run?

"Hmm!" Mercer asked curiously, "Why are you up so early? Did I wake you up?"

"No, I usually get up around this time too."

"Go for a run, come back for breakfast later."

"Okay. Thanks then."

"Hmm, don't thank me, little Messer. You don't need to be so polite with me. After all, you're my brother."

"Tch, still harboring treacherous intentions."

"Hehe! Get lost, why are you swearing?"

……

After breakfast.

Mercer went out and headed toward Mount Colbo.

Halfway through the journey, nearing the forest, they encountered Garp, whose eyes still had boogers.

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Karp was a little confused. "Mese, didn't you sleep at Dadan's place last night?"

Mercer pouted, "There are too many people, I'm not used to sleeping here."

"But I haven't seen you return to the warship either."

"Oh, I slept at Makino's house."

"Huh?!" Garp's eyes widened. "When did you two become so close? I didn't know that."

"Huh?!" Mercer was also puzzled. "Haven't we always had a pretty good relationship?!"

"You wouldn't know?"

Messer looked at Karp with some confusion, "I was getting along really well with her two years ago, you know that."

"Is there?"

Garp scratched the back of his head, thought for a moment with a somewhat confused expression, and suddenly slammed his right fist into his left palm, which was held horizontally in front of him.

"Oh right, I remember now, there was such a thing, haha, I forgot."

"You must have a bad memory, huh? As expected, I'm too insignificant to be taken seriously by you."

"Mercy said softly."

Upon hearing this, Karp was instantly wide awake, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.

He finally understood: when Moses used "you," it was normal speech; but when he used "you" (formal), it meant he was up to no good.

Judging from the tone of his voice, he definitely learned it from Kureha. Whether he did or not, that's what he thought.

Garp's eyes widened slightly, looking pained, but he began to explain, "I was just busy, and besides, it's such a small thing, you can easily forget about it if you're not paying attention, so you can't blame me, can you?"

"So you're saying my matters are trivial and not worth your attention, right?" Mercer's lips curled up slightly. "Alright, then go ahead and do your thing. I promise I won't bother you again."

Garp's face immediately turned ashen, and he couldn't help but grind his teeth. "Bo! Gar! Tot!"

He suddenly remembered that this kind of "tea talk" was something Bogart had taught him more than two years ago.

Seeing that Garp was getting impatient, Messer knew to stop while he was ahead; if he continued, the Iron Fist might just land on his head.

Mercer immediately said, "I'll go first. If you want to take a walk, you can go by yourself."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and ran swiftly towards the distant forest as if fleeing.

Garp's lips twitched, and he followed with a sullen laugh: "I've been tricked by this little brat again. I really don't know how he learned that."

Speaking of which, should we keep him around and raise him? Otherwise, who knows what kind of person he'll become in the future.

After thinking about it, Karp hesitated again. Doriel was a troublesome woman, and he didn't know if she would be willing to let her go.

If it were just a normal relationship, it wouldn't be a problem, but now... that woman raised Mercer from infancy, all these years ago. If he were to go to her now to ask for his child back...

I felt a chill.

Garp paused, a grin spreading across his face.

"I'll die, I'll definitely be dissected by that woman, and we might have to break off our relationship."

Let me think about it some more.

Not quite understanding, Garp strode after him and shouted:

"Mercy~ You stop right there! Say what you just said again if you dare, and I promise I won't beat you up!"

Mercer, who was running ahead, twitched at the corner of his eye. "If I believe you, then I deserve to get beaten up later."

As he spoke, he took bigger strides, as if he wanted to run on two more legs.

Adding two legs is impossible, but Garp behind him doesn't seem to be seriously chasing either.

With the back-and-forth swing of his arms coordinated with his steps, Mercer's running movements were naturally fast.

The two walked one after the other until they reached the courtyard in front of Dadan's house. Moses stopped to catch his breath, but then he noticed a gust of wind overhead.

He began to twist his body to the left to dodge, following the direction of the airflow. Just as he dodged, a huge fist appeared in front of him.

Watching the trajectory of the incoming fist, Mercer clasped his hands together and collided with it. *Crack!* He used the recoil to stagger backward.

Deng Deng Deng!

Before he could even get his footing, Garp came at him again and again. Mercer's body swayed like a willow in the wind. When he couldn't dodge, he used his hands and arms to block.

Garp's punches came faster and faster, but Mercer nimbly dodged them using the force of the blows.

Seeing the crimson glint in Moses' eyes and his focused gaze, Garp also became interested:

"Is it 'Observation Color' combined with paper drawing?"

Suddenly, he lifted his right foot slightly and swept it across Messer.

A strong wind swept in.

Mercer made a quick decision, leaning back and bending over to dodge the kick, the whistling wind brushing against his face.

With his right palm on the ground, he twisted his body and flipped to the side with the force of his arm, but his eyes were fixed on Garp.

As soon as I landed and was getting up, my vision blurred, and the next moment I saw a large hand reaching for my face.
