Luffy raised the Poké Ball and aimed it at the Merry's clearing.

A red light flashed, and Merry's figure reappeared in front of Luffy's eyes.

Mei Li, who had just come out of the Poke Ball, seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and looked at her surroundings suspiciously.

In the end, it seemed to be confirmed that he was still on the Merry, and then he raised his head again.

The face covered by the cloak seemed to be looking at Luffy, and the cute little mouth opened and closed, and asked with some confusion:

"Just ...... What was that place just now? ”

I don't know why, Mei Li always feels that her current self has suddenly become much smarter, and her feelings have become more complex and diverse.

And, in her inherited memory, the ship elves were not allowed to leave the ship itself.

But in that place, she could be sure that it was not the hull of the Merry.

But that place made her feel very comfortable and warm, and she also felt very secure.

It's just that I don't know if this sense of security comes from Luffy's body or from that place just now.

……

……

"That's your Poké Ball!"

Luffy directly handed the Poké Ball in his hand to Merry.

Mei Li also directly held the Poké Ball in her arms and looked at it curiously.

In her memory, the only real object that the ship elves could touch was the ship itself.

But this strange red and white ball can even be touched by itself.

It's really, amazing!

Merry took a closer look at the Poké Ball, and eventually, handed it to Luffy.

After taking back the Poké Ball from the two illusory little hands, Luffy smiled at Merry again and said:

"Well, so you can stay with us all the time, right!?"

The pets captured by the Poké Ball have been included in the system, and the rules of this world and the rules of the system will be applied to Merry at the same time.

However, when the rules of the pirate world do not meet the rules of the system, the system will kick the world out of the way, and everything will be bigger than it!

Therefore, Mei Li, who was entered into the pet system, as long as she was not harmed by the system, no longer had to care about some of the rules that those ship elves had to follow!

Little Merry spun around happily, as if she felt that she was starting to become different.

Looking at Luffy again, the two little hands stretched out, looking like they wanted to be raised high, and happily replied:

"Uh-huh!!"

However, in the face of the cute little Merry, Luffy still showed a little regretful gaze.

After all, he still can't touch this cute little elf.

Mei Li didn't seem to have this regret at all.

In her opinion, it is already a joy to be able to stay on the ship all the time and be able to chat with people who like her!

The outstretched hand, she was not frustrated when she didn't get Luffy's hug.

Instead, he began to surround Luffy, throwing his arms behind him, but his body was straight, like a child who had just learned to run, and went crazy on the Merry.

In the past, she never dared to do these things.

Because any action is done, it will consume the special energy that gathers into a ship spirit.

Therefore, ship elves usually have a habit of hiding.

It is only in special times that you will use your abilities, control the ship, or do something else.

From today, though, everything is different!

She felt that she didn't have to worry about the weird rules anymore.

In the future, she can do what she wants to do on the Merry!

……

……

"Road ~ Luffy, thank you !!"

After going crazy for a while and venting her emotions fiercely, little Lori returned to Luffy again.

With an expression completely different from the timidity just now, he smiled happily at Luffy.

Luffy also smiled, crouched down, reached out and stroked Merry's head twice.

Mei Li, who was touched, seemed to be able to feel it, and the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a smile of enjoyment.

"Oh, that's right~"

Looking at Mei Li's smile, Luffy, who was slightly obsessed, suddenly remembered.

I still have a chance to open up my natural skills for Xiao Meili.

Although the other three normal skills and one ultimate skill cannot be opened at all due to the lack of gold.

But the opening of talent skills is free.

And!

Thinking of Rab's magical talent skills like a small world, Luffy really wanted to know quickly what kind of powerful abilities Xiao Meili would gain.

Looking at Xiao Meili with a puzzled face, Luffy leaned directly back again, sat on the deck, and said to Meili:

"Wait a minute~ Little Merry!"

"Then it's time to witness the miracle!"

Little Merry walked forward curiously, learning Luffy's movements, and also sat in front of Luffy.

And Luffy, who had already opened the system interface, didn't pay attention to Mei Li's movements.

Because he hadn't used it for a long time, Luffy thought for a few seconds before finding the interface of the pet system again.

I clicked it in with my mind, and sure enough, next to Rab, there was a three-dimensional picture of Merry's ship elf.

Luffy clicked on the trend, and a property page appeared instantly.

【Merry】

Race: Ship Elves

Stamina: 0

Strength: 0

Dexterity: 0

Spirit: 3000

"Huh?"

Luffy looked at Merry's strange attribute in surprise.

Although the spiritual attribute is as high as 3,000 points, which is already considered an extraordinary level in the world of pirates, the other three are all zero attributes, which really makes him feel too strange.

The curious Luffy immediately asked the system in his heart:

"System, why are Mei Li's other three attributes all 0?"

【Ding! 】

The system instantly emitted a sound and answered Luffy's question:

[Answering the host, the ship elves are formed by the spiritual power exuded by the love of everyone on the ship.

The higher the mental power of the ship's personnel, the greater the chance of gathering ship spirits and the stronger their abilities.

Therefore, what supports the existence of the ship spirit is the power of the spirit.

The other abilities and behaviors displayed by the ship elves on weekdays are also transformed through spiritual power.

The ship spirits that gather with spiritual power do not have all the attributes displayed by the physical body, including speed.

Because as ship elves, they can appear anywhere on the ship, but they can't leave the ship.

This is limited to the ship elves. 】

Hearing the last explanation of the system, Luffy immediately asked:

"Can't leave the ship!?"

"Even if you enter the Poké Ball and be included in the system, can't you?"

[Answer the host, the system only has the ability to change the characteristics of living organisms, but not the ability to change other rules.]

Although Merry will no longer consume mental energy due to normal life activities.

But some of the other limitations of the ship elves, the system is not able to change.

Entering the Poké Ball at the same time will allow you to take the Ship Spirits away from the ship, but you will still not be able to release them from the outside world. 】

"That's ......"

Luffy looked at the cute little Lori sitting on the ground in front of him, supporting himself with his arms back, and his two calves swinging slightly in front of him.

The thought that she could only survive on the Merry made her heart ache slightly.

Luffy secretly thought in his heart:

"It's a big deal to carry the Merry to go shopping in the future! I see who dares to laugh at me!! ”

"Humph!!"

Luffy, who couldn't take Lori shopping, turned his gaze to Merry's skill bar again after venting his unhappiness in his heart.

The last four are all big krypton skills, and Luffy doesn't have much to do about it.

Moria has entered the New World with his terrifying three-masted galleon, and it will take a while longer to farm for gold.

I don't know how he has accumulated in the past few years.

When I think of the upgrades of the Merry, Merry's skills, the facilities in the ship, the equipment of my companions, and one or two more fun random items that pop up from time to time......

It's all money!

Real money!

I only hope that the pirates of the Great Voyage can give some strength so that Luffy can escape from "poverty" in advance.

The thought returned to Merry's system interface, and the mind clicked on the plus sign, and a system prompt sounded again.

【Ding! Congratulations to Merry for her innate skill, Spirit Transformation! 】
