Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

On the west coast of Gaya Island, there is a small town called Mogu Town.

Many self-depraved lawless criminals from the Grand Line gathered here. Over time, even the World Government no longer had jurisdiction over this place.

Since then, the town of Mogu has become famous, attracting more lawless criminals and making it a violent place.

Of course, most of the guys gathered here are pirates.

-

"So many pirate ships!"

Luffy sat on the bow of the Goat Ship and sighed as he looked at the many pirate ships that were parked in the port openly.

"Is it really like what the ape said, a pirate town?"

Nami looked at the pirate ship in front of her, listening to the horrifying sound of "Murder!" coming from time to time, with a helpless expression on her face.

"A town full of pirates? That sounds like a good place to start."

Zoro raised the corner of his mouth with a satisfied look, as if he was thinking about whether he could knock down a few guys when he got ashore.

Finally, after some discussion, the Straw Hat Pirates decided to set off again.

Although I know Mont Blanc is on the other side of the island, how does that sentence go?

Come here.

On the one hand, Luffy is very interested in this place, on the other hand, he might be able to get some useful information here.

Of course, not everyone wants to go to the island.

For example, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper all have an aversion to the violence on the island.

It’s not that I’m worried about not being able to beat the other person, I just simply hate this kind of situation.

Of course, Zoro is suspicious of Nami and cites her usual violent behavior on the ship.

Then...

Violently suppressed by Nami.

However, they soon discovered that if they did not get off the boat together, they would face the same situation.

So we had no choice but to go to the island together.

Then, several people began to act in groups.

After all, it's such a big town, this can save time.

Moreover, if too many people gather together, it will be more likely to attract attention.

So Nami chose to follow Luffy and Zoro, under the pretext of watching them, to prevent these two idiots who were always ready to fight from getting into conflict with others.

As for Sanji, because he had the task of purchasing food, he had to say goodbye to Nami and Robin in tears, and Usopp chose to go with him.

The last group is Robin, Chopper and Byakuya.

While the first two groups chose their directions and set off, the last group seemed to have encountered some trouble.

Based on past experience, even if all the Straw Hat Pirates were dispatched, Bai Ye would not always choose to put the Merry into the interior because of the engraved formation.

This time, because Usopp was worried that some pirates would harm the Merry, he specifically asked Byakuya for help.

But this time, some unexpected situations seemed to have occurred.

"Bai Ye, what's wrong?"

Chopper tilted his head and looked at Bai Ye, who was pressing the Merry with one hand but hadn't moved for a long time, and asked.

Robin was also a little confused. In the past, it only took a moment for Bai Ye to collect the Merry, so why did it take so long this time?

Just when the two were confused, a huge wave of emotion rose in Bai Ye's heart.

He thought of a possibility, a possibility that made him extremely excited.

He opened his eyes and looked at the two of them:

"Nothing, just some minor problems."

"How about this, you guys go ahead, and I'll catch up with you after I solve the problem."

Bai Ye's speech speed was a little faster than usual, and he seemed to be a little anxious.

However, Chopper didn't think much about it. After all, Bai Ye's reliability was recognized by everyone on the ship, so he just nodded and agreed.

Robin was more careful, she also saw the anxiety in Bai Ye's tone and the...

expect?

But she didn't ask any more questions.

Over these days, she also gained a deeper understanding of Bai Ye.

This man seemed to have many secrets, but he had no bad intentions towards his companions.

"Okay, let's go first."

Robin said, pulling Chopper's little hand and turning away.

Seeing the two people leave, Bai Ye turned around and looked at the Merry again.

Although I am very confident, I am still afraid of getting a different result.

He took a deep breath and jumped onto the Merry. He spoke slowly, as if he was talking to someone:

"My inner vision can accommodate everything, but there are two limitations."

"The first is that the interior has been filled up by me."

"But that's obviously not going to happen."

At this time, Bai Ye used his magic to create a thick fog above the port.

He came to the middle of the deck, leaned against the mast, and raised a beautiful arc at the corner of his mouth:

"As for the other type, it cannot store living things."

Speaking of this, Bai Ye was also a little excited:

"So, do you want to come out and meet me?"

"Merry?"

silence...

After a moment of silence, a light voice sounded:

"You are indeed worthy of me, Deputy Captain!"

Then, a small figure jumped out from the thick fog and came in front of Bai Ye.

The figure gradually became clear in Bai Ye's eyes. The child was of similar size, wearing a raincoat and holding a wooden hammer in his hand.

It’s a pity that no matter how carefully Bai Ye looked, he couldn’t see the face hidden under the raincoat hood.

It seemed that there was only a tiny gap, like a lying crescent moon, showing its smile to the white night.

The figure came to stand in front of Bai Ye, tilted his body and posed in a cute posture, and a light voice sounded:

"You are the first one to find me."

Byakuya couldn't hold back his aunt's smile at this point, one of his biggest dreams since coming to the One Piece world had come true today.

He saw the ship spirit of the Merry.

This is a legendary creature that belongs only to this world.

As the name suggests, a ship elf is an elf born from a ship.

However, the conditions for breeding are very strict. Only when the crew on the ship devote 100% of their love to the ship can the ship spirit be born.

When the ship is about to encounter a disaster, the ship elves will run around the ship and tell others about it.

Sometimes, the ship elves will help repair the hull.

"Just call me Bai Ye, Merry."

At this time, Bai Ye and Merry were sitting together on the edge of the Merry.

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Meli stopped shaking her little feet and turned to look at Bai Ye.

The smile on his face once again showed a happy smile:

"Thank you, Bai Ye."

Merry's voice was filled with gratitude:

"If it weren't for you along the way, I might not be able to take you to so many places."

Meli gently stroked the edge of the boat, feeling the magic circle attached to it, and felt very happy.

"Because you are our partner too!"

Bai Ye couldn't help but swing his legs at this time. He looked into the distance, with an inexplicable feeling in his tone, and said softly:

"I will never let you disappear."

"What did Bai Ye say just now?" Meli didn't hear what Bai Ye said, so he tilted his head and asked.

Seeing Meli's cute look, Bai Ye couldn't help but touch her.

But it was all in vain.

Only then did he realize that the Merry in front of him was just a spirit-like creature and had no physical body.

When Meli saw Bai Ye's actions and his dazed look, he couldn't help but lower his head.

Some aggrieved and sad voices sounded:

"I can't meet with you all often, even with so many people. I'm sorry, Bai Ye."

"If possible, I hope you can hide my existence."

"After all, according to everyone's personality, if they knew I was like this, they would definitely be unhappy."

“I don’t want anyone to be unhappy.”

Merry looked down at his swaying toes and said slowly:

“Being able to carry everyone on a voyage is the happiest thing for me.”

Although it was born not long ago, it knows everything that has happened along the way.

Luffy's favorite thing to do is to take in the view from the bow of his goat ship;

Bai Ye likes to lean on the edge of the boat and enjoy the sea breeze;

Zoro often slept in the lookout;

Nami always draws sea charts carefully in the captain's room;

Usopp...Sanji...Chopper...Robin...

There are also Weiwei and Runkuai.

Merry remembered all the companions on the ship, but didn't want them to know him.

But at this moment, Meli felt a pair of big hands touching his head.

He suddenly raised his head and saw Bai Ye's smiling face.

"Really? How come you're like Nami, always making your own decisions?"

There are so many Taoist techniques that can allow people to contact spirits, so Bai Ye easily touched Meli's little head.

I have to say, it's very moist and not dry at all.

Very good.

"Eh?"

Merry did not stop Bai Ye's touch, on the contrary, he enjoyed it.

As a spirit, being able to touch his companions might be his biggest dream.

"Speaking of which, as a tradition of this pirate group,"

Hearing Meli's silly tone, Bai Ye said with a smile:

"When you have a physical form, remember to punch Luffy hard."

Bai Ye said something casually that shocked Meli.

"Eh?!!!"

When Merry heard the word "entity", he was so scared that he fell off the edge of the boat.

Fortunately, he was a ship elf, so he immediately emerged from the deck behind Bai Ye.

"Can I have a physical body? Bai Ye."

"Really? Can I meet everyone now?"

"really?"

Because he was too excited, Meli jumped up and down and asked a series of questions.

"It's not just a meeting, you can also eat the delicious food made by Sanji."

Bai Ye did not show any impatience in the face of Meli's excitement, but instead dropped another bombshell.

"Eh!!!"

At this time, Meli was completely down. He could never have imagined that Bai Ye could do this.

Just as he was stunned, Bai Ye turned his wrist and took out a puppet.

In the ancient era of Qigong practitioners, let alone monsters like the Merry, even spirits born from a gust of wind could later possess physical entities.

As mentioned before, there are simply too many of these methods.

From the day the Merry was born, Bai Ye began looking for a suitable solution.

Now, the wait has finally come!
