I'm at the top of One Piece

A white, transparent spirit, resembling a teru teru bozu doll, shot out from the little spirit girl's palm and rushed straight towards Mercer.

Chapter 48 Myself

This scene, so eerily familiar, startled Mercer, who quickly guessed her identity in her mind.

"The speed is not fast."

Mercer watched as the ghostly thing flew toward him, its trajectory clearly visible.

Mercer dodged to the side, watching the doll ghost fly past him with its long tail trail.

Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the ghost doll suddenly turned in mid-air and flew back towards me.

"Can you control the steering?"

Moses pondered to himself.

At this moment, the little spirit girl covered her mouth and laughed happily: "Hala halala halala, you can fall down now."

Laughing merrily, another identical ghost doll shot out from his palm and charged towards Mercer.

Upon seeing this, Mercer stopped playing and quickly ran towards her location.

Ignoring the ghost doll chasing closely behind, she focused on another ghost doll in front of her and quickly rolled to the side to dodge at the last moment.

After dodging, he immediately got up and rushed towards her body.

Seeing that Mercer had dodged her abilities several times in a row, the little spirit girl started to panic.

He hurriedly shouted in a shrill voice:

"Don't come any closer! Let me tell you, I still have a Ghost Bomb I haven't used yet. If you come any closer, I'll be ruthless and blow you to smithereens in one go."

Mercer ignored her and continued charging forward, drawing Cold Dew from his lower back with his right hand. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of her (the spirit), and the sharp blade sliced ​​across her neck.

Passed by.

The little spirit swallowed hard, touching her unharmed neck, feeling a little uneasy. But then she remembered that she was immune to physical attacks, and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up.

With a sense of smugness, he turned around, but the next moment, a look of panic appeared on his face.

Mercer looked at her with a smile, sitting on the ground, the blade of his Frost Sword slapping against her face as she lay on the ground.

"How to say?"

The next second, the little spirit girl landed on the ground with a thud, crying out, "Don't kill me! I don't want to die! I was wrong! I apologize!"

Seeing this, Mercer laughed and pointed with her left hand to the two ghostly dolls floating around her.

"Take it back."

Upon hearing this, the little spirit girl looked dejected and scattered the two ghost dolls.

Moses asked curiously, "What's your name? I heard them say you're an outsider. Why are you here? Where are your family?"

The spirit girl gritted her teeth, anger flashing in her eyes. "Was it those thieves who told you? I've only had contact with them here, it must be them."

"Well, I overheard them talking about you by chance, and I came over out of curiosity. Tell me your story."

The spirit girl's eyes lit up. "A story? My story? I've become a celebrity too! Hahaha!"

Seeing her suddenly become happy, Mercer felt a little awkward. Was she really that eccentric?

At this moment, she smiled happily and waved her hand: "I'm not that famous. My name is Perona, and I'm an independent woman who is currently supporting myself."

Moses looked at her subtly, listening as she began to tell her story.

After a long while, sitting on the ground, Moses ate an apple and listened to her story.

how to say.

An orphan living in an orphanage on another island ate a Devil Fruit one day. After a series of accidents, he was ostracized as a monster and eventually left the orphanage.

I wandered all the way here.

They temporarily settled here.

Having Devil Fruit powers, he lived quite well, sneaking out to play occasionally, since he wouldn't starve.

Because she shared her story and was subsequently captured, Perona is now speaking to Messer in her true form.

"Um, I've been talking a lot, and I'm a little thirsty. Can I have an apple?"

Perona whispered, and Mercer raised an eyebrow, "You're not shy at all."

As he spoke, he handed her the last apple, took it, and snapped it into a bite.

"Mmm, it's so sweet. Since you shared your food with me, I'll forgive you for threatening me earlier."

Mercer said speechlessly, "Who threatened you? Didn't you strike first?"

Perona waved her hand and smiled:

"That's not important. By the way, what's your name? We've been talking for so long and I still don't know your name. I can't keep calling you 'Hey' all this time, can I?"

“Messer, that’s my name.”

"By the way, have you been living here by yourself all this time? Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Perona tilted her head, looking at Mercer with some confusion: "I don't know, I'll just live one day at a time. Anyway, I'm pretty strong, I won't starve."

What do you mean by that?

"Do you want to go with me like those thieves?"

At this point, Perona looked at Mercer up and down, then suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, "Are you all alone, being so small?"

"No, I just arrived here today. I was just wandering around aimlessly when I heard about your situation, so I came to check on you."

"You're right, I think you're quite interesting. Want to come with me? You don't know what to do here all by yourself anyway. Why not come with me? It must be boring being here alone, right?"

"No." Perona pouted. "I don't want to. I'm fine on my own. No one will call me a monster. I can support myself."

Just like those thieves, they were telling me to come to them and be their partner, but they were all terrified of me, thinking I was a monster.

They say nice things, but who knows what they're really thinking? Their very spirit exudes a deceptive aura, just like those people in the orphanage.

Perona sat up, hugging her legs, lowered her head, and said in a muffled voice:

"I wasn't born a monster. Who knew that I would turn into this after eating a strange fruit back then?"

"Well," Mercer said with a light laugh, "didn't I tell you?"

The fruit you ate is called a Devil Fruit; eating it grants you strange and wonderful abilities.

"Does that mean the creatures we eat will be called Devil Fruit users?"

Perona jerked her head back, her face full of disbelief: "Really?"

"You're not lying to me?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Mercer said speechlessly, "This kind of information has been circulating all along the high seas."

"Just like when I was a child, I also received two, one of which I gave to my panda."

"After eating me, he became amazing. He could open his mouth really wide and eat anything. After he ate me, we could even merge together and play."

Perona shuddered, her eyes suddenly lighting up, "A panda?"

"Is it the kind that's chubby and round, with black and white markings? And has facial hair like a black hood, like a bandit?"

"No."

Upon hearing this, Perona pouted, "So that's not true. You liar."

"You're talking about pandas, those aren't good-looking. I'm talking about pandas, whose fur color is the complete opposite of pandas."

It has dark circles under the eyes, a dark nose, dark ears, and black limbs, while the rest of the body is white. That's what looks good.

Perona asked suspiciously, "Really? Isn't what you're describing just fiction? Does it exist in reality?"

Believe it or not.

Moses curled his lip. "It's like if someone told you such a thing existed before you ate the Devil Fruit, would you believe them?"

"You don't believe me, do you?" Perona blinked, then realized, "You really have that kind of panda?"

"Have."

"Could you bring it so I can see it?" Perona looked at Mercer expectantly.

"I want to see it, I really like bears."

"You're dreaming! Whether I come here again or not is another matter, but I don't have the time to bring Xiong Bao here for you to see. Who do you think you are?"

"Bear Baby?"

"His name is Xiong Bao (nickname) and Winter (formal name)."

"winter?"

"Yes, it's a homonym for 'winter'."

"Woo~" Perona rolled around excitedly in the grass, her face turning red: "Panda? Bear Cub? He even has a name, I want to see him so much, I want to see him so much."

"If you want to see me, come with me," Mercer said with a wicked smile. "Otherwise, you'll have to find me on your own from now on."

"You're lying to me, aren't you?" Perona suddenly felt that Mercer had been seducing her all along, and looked at Mercer with suspicion: "You really have a panda?"

Just as Moses was about to speak, he suddenly looked up at the sky and saw a black and white bird fall from the sky.

Mercer raised his left arm, and Raven landed precisely on it, its bird eyes gleaming with excitement. It cawed, "Messer! Guess what I found out?"

"Huh?" Perona suddenly widened her eyes and gaped in disbelief, exclaiming, "The crow is talking?!"

Ya Da Bao shook his head violently, glanced at Perona, and looked at Messer, saying:

"Who is this idiot? Is he stupid or what?"

Perona blinked, a snotty nose ran down her face, and she pointed at Mercer, then at Raven Da Bao:
