I'm at the top of One Piece

Bogart also seemed a little uncomfortable.

However, before leaving, he glanced at Messer and Ace, who looked somewhat like Messer.

As for Sabo, he was probably mistaken for the son of a bandit and ignored.

Mercer and Garp stayed for a meal.

Ace and Sabo reluctantly parted ways as the two disappeared into the deep forest.

We arrived at the windmill village.

Garp looked at Mercer and smiled, "Are you going to Makino's again?"

"Hmm?" Mercer feigned surprise. "How did you know, sir?"

Garp's face twitched, he curled his lip, turned and walked away. "I won't ask anymore. You figure it out yourself. Just remember to come early."

Messer watched Garp walk away, completely bewildered. "Something's not right."

As soon as Karp left, Crow Da Bao landed from the sky, grabbing Mercer's shoulders with its claws, and hoarsely asked, "Shall we go home?"

Mercer nodded. "Yes, it's time to go home."

Chatting with Ya Da Bao all the way, they turned a few corners and knocked on the door. Seeing that Messer had arrived at this time, Makino had a guess in her mind: "Are you leaving already?"

Mercer chuckled, "Yes, I'm leaving now. I'll stop by to pick up the honey."

Makino: "."

Seeing her puff out her cheeks in exasperation, Mercer chuckled, "Of course, it also means I'm saying goodbye."

Makino's expression softened a bit, but she was still reluctant to leave. "Come in first, have a cup of tea before you go."

Mercer did not refuse, nodded, and went with Makino to the bar on the first floor. They sat at the bar and a cup of black tea was brought to them.

Mercer held the black tea and sipped it slowly, savoring its unique richness.

Makino brought over a sealed ceramic jar.

"Here you go, your honey, I've packed it up for you."

Makino smiled gently.

"Méther, when are you coming next time?" Makino asked casually. "Is it going to be another two years?"

Moses laughed.

"I guess we won't need it, but I'm not sure. We'll have to see how things go. Otherwise, would you like to come to Drum Island with me?"

"That's Winter Island, covered in snow all year round, and there are several 5,000-meter-high Iron Barrel Mountains. Climbing them is quite fun. You can see the whole island from there."

"Are you going?"

Makino's eyes flickered with hesitation, and she looked indecisive.

Mercer looked at Makino, who was wearing a warm yellow tank top and blue-gray capri pants. She had fair skin and a slightly chubby face, and was currently wearing a conflicted expression.

It was actually quite fun.

"Hmm!" Makino thought for a while, and finally said apologetically, "I heard that the Grand Line is very dangerous, so I'd better not go with you. I'm very weak right now, so I don't want to cause you any trouble."

Mercer looked regretful, but didn't insist. "Alright, I won't force you."

Makino fell silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and looked directly at Mercer:

"I will practice the breathing techniques you taught me diligently. When I can smash a wall with one punch, can you take me to Drum Island for a visit?"

Moses laughed: "Then you'll have to work hard. The 'Free Breathing Method' I'm teaching you isn't simple; it's easy to learn but difficult to master."

"Fine, you seem alright today, so I'll help you one last time before I leave."

As he spoke, he took out a needle pouch from his waist pouch, and one by one, he took out silver needles and quickly inserted them into the key points of Makino's breathing, just as her eyes twitched.

"Can't you be a little gentler?"

Moses laughed and said, "Hurry up and finish this so I can get back quickly. Hurry up, stop talking, and start breathing."

Makino closed her eyes, her lips twitching.

Half an hour later.

Makino, covered in sweat, saw Mercer out the door.

Holding a ceramic jar in his arms, he soon arrived at the dock and boarded the warship.

It seemed they were just waiting for Moses; a few minutes later, the warship sailed away from the dock.

They walked further and further into the boundless sea.

……

a few days later.

noon.

Mercer stepped out of the cabin and looked at the dark clouds and rain over the sea behind the warship, with occasional claps of thunder.

Water stains had accumulated on the deck.

Several miscellaneous soldiers with the character "雑" on the back of their uniforms were already cleaning the rainwater off the deck.

"We've finally made it out of that sea area, but I didn't expect to run into a rainstorm."

"Gah~ all the hair is getting moldy."

Ya Da Bao followed and landed on Messer's shoulder, basking comfortably in the sun.

With a shrug, Moses raised his shoulder, and Crow Da Bao took flight.

Reaching the bulkhead, Mercer gripped the gaps in it with his fingers and climbed up, quickly reaching the top of the cabin.

I leaned comfortably against the railing on the top of the cabin.

Enjoy the sunlight in peace.

As the sun sank into the sea, Moses jumped down and landed on the deck.

At that moment, the aroma of food wafted from the ship. Mercer went to the restaurant, ordered two portions of meat, and sat down in an empty spot to enjoy a delicious meal with Ya Da Bao.

After going to play twice more, Moses was full and then left the restaurant.

Back in Karp's room on the ship.

As soon as I entered, I heard Garp talking on the phone, but it was almost over, and the call ended a few seconds later.

Karp then looked at Moses, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, before casually saying:

"Messer, I have a last-minute mission that requires me to go to the West Sea. Would you like to come with me?"

"If you go, we'll hike up Reverse Mountain to the West Sea. If you don't, I'll take you back to Drum Island first. Do you want to go?"

Chapter 45 Mission!

"The Western Sea?"

Moses asked in confusion, "What are you going there for? Are you still in charge of that area, sir?"

With a slightly unfocused look in his eyes, Garp felt this was a good opportunity to take Mather out and broaden his horizons.

To prevent him from staying on Drum Island, this is a good opportunity to teach him a lesson, so that he doesn't go astray and start talking nonsense to me all the time.

Of course, only he knows whether he has any other thoughts.

"Um, I just had a last-minute mission, and it happened to be on the way, so I thought I'd take you to some other sea areas to play around."

Unsure of what Kapu was up to, but after thinking it over, Messer didn't refuse: "Won't taking me along cause you trouble?"

Seeing that Messer did not refuse, Garp laughed, "I'm in charge of this warship. If I say it's okay, then it's okay."

Mercer nodded, then looked at Ya Da Bao, who was lying on the desk beside her. "I want to go play for a while. Can we go back a little later? Is that okay?"

Ya Da Bao blinked and nodded reluctantly, "Ya~"

Seeing it nod, Mercer breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had said a few days ago that he would take it back to see his wife and children, and he felt a little embarrassed to change his mind at the last minute.

Since Ya Dabao has chosen to follow me, I will treat it and Xiong Bao the same.

It possesses wisdom no less than that of humans, so it cannot be treated like an ordinary bird. Moses also believed that only by interacting with others sincerely can one gain their sincere treatment in return.

Garp witnessed this scene and his eyes showed approval. Of course, Garp knew that this was because Messer considered the raven one of his own.

"Haha, okay, it's settled then. I'm going to eat now."

Kap strode out of the room, and Messer went to Crow Da Bao and began to stroke its feathers.

Ya Dabao comfortably squinted his eyes, enjoying his leisure time.

……

Two days later,

Upside Down Mountain.

As the warship sailed towards the massive channel where the seawater flowed upstream not far away, a terrifying rumble of water echoed.

A seemingly endless stream of currents appeared before my eyes.

As we drew nearer, an unparalleled and magnificent beauty filled our eyes.

With a loud bang!

The warship crashed perfectly into the fast-flowing channel, the terrifying pulling sensation of the current acting on the entire warship.

On deck, without anyone shouting, the marines expertly lowered the sails and secured themselves to the ship.

The helmsman held the rudder firmly, controlling the direction of the warship.

Driven by the extremely fast ocean current, the warship rushed rapidly towards the mountaintop.

The Upside-Down Mountain is said to be 10,000 meters high, reaching straight into the clouds. However, driven by the ocean currents, the warship shot straight into the sky and reached the top of the mountain in less than ten minutes.

Boom! The warship crashed heavily onto the confluence of the four seas at the top of the mountain. The next moment, Moses heard a series of shouts coming from inside the cabin.
