' Supreme grade agility potion: Agility +8 permenantly after usage.'

' Moon Lord(Supreme grade passive skill): Host gains %10 boost to every stat during full moon or half moon.'

'Not bad.' Abel was satisfied. He immediately took out the supreme grade potion and drank it. These type of things were better used immediately. What use is there to keep them stored? 'This vanishing step skill... why is there only %25 increase. At least it can be upgraded.'

As for the Moon Lord skill, Abel didn't have many opinions. İt was a good skill but only usable during full moon or half moon. But the good thing was he could keep using it even when he got very strong. There were no downsides. After considering things for a while He turned to Merry and was surprised to see him bowing.

'' I will never forget the kindness you have shown to young mistress. Thank you so much for saving our lives.'' Merry expressed his gratitue immediately.

'Ding! Congrulations for forming a relationship with Merry(minor character). Current relationship +40(grateful)'

Abel looked at Merry indiffirently but he was fiercely scolding him inside his mind. 'Since you are so grateful then at least reach +60, what use is there in +40. Such an ingrate...'

'' Of course, no problem at all. I just did my job as a marine, no need to take it to the heart'' Abel humbly rejected the praise. Merry looked at him with admiration. 'Such a noble man...'

'Ding! Relationship updated with Merry(minor character). Current relationship +50(admiration)'

'Only increased by 10? Well, whatever' Abel couldn't be bothered to play mind games with Merry anymore and immediately asked some important information.

'' Did you check Kuro's subordinates? Have you got any news from my underlings?'' Abel asked casually.

'' Ah... The last time I checked they were surrounded. Right now they should already be defeated. Captain Morgan will probably get the news that Kuro is defeated before tomorrow. Since it is already too late he will arrive tomorrow at earliest. But I heard something big happened at Shell Town. Seems like a female pirate destroyed many shops while searching for someone, since Captain Morgan was away no one could stop her. İn the end she left after speaking with some shop owners.''

' Don't tell me...'

''What is her name?''

''Not sure... it was something like Alvida I guess. They are very strong for a rookie group. The remaining marines in the branch base couldn't do anything to them. But it is no trouble even if they come here, we have you and Captain Morgan, after all. '' Merry replied with a casual smile.

' Ah, Merry... İf you knew how much trouble I am in... I shouldn't speak so much nonsense in the future. They come back to bite me in the ass every time!' Even though Abel promised himself to not bullshit anymore, his promise was not worth a fart. İn his last life he made such promises every 2 days.

'' Well, did you broadcast everything?''

'' Yes, from the moment you put the mask on to the moment you took it off, everything is broadcasted, sir.''

''Good, help me tie him up and then let's go to the mansion. Staying at inn will be troublesome after all this chaos.'' Abel lied casually. The main reason was to meet Kaya, she will come back there eventually. After Abel and Merry reached the village, Merry took the tied up Kuro and went to the mansion while Abel went to pick Nami up.

When he reached the inn he heard that everyone was talking about the battle between Marine Headquarters Captain Ghost and Pirate Captain Kuro.

''I didn't know Captain Kuro was living among us. How terrifying.''

'' Yes... We are lucky that an undercover marine happened to be here.''

Abel was a bit speechless. He didn't give his name to Kuro, as a result he insulted him as a ghost. Abel didn't care and got along with it, he didn't expect that it would become his nickname. 'Whatever. İt's not like it is a bad nickname'

After he reached the inn he immediately saw Nami and Usopp looking at him with shining eyes. When the broadcast started, whole village was awakened. Everyone came to the village center to watch the broadcast. But they didn't see Abel anywhere. The voice in the broadcast was also literally the same as Abel.

'' Oh... What is it? Did something happened?'' Abel acted like he didn't know anything.

'' Teacher, stop acting! We know you are Ghost!'' How could Nami not know. She saw her teacher playing with that marine emblem on the boat before. She would also not mistake his voice.

'' Big brother! Why did you hide your face? You are a hero! Why don't you let everyone know?'' Usopp asked confused. Abel gave a conflicted smile. And then explained with a warm smile.

'' Haha, you guys caught me. İs there any need to expect anything back when you punish scum?''

Usopp felt like he was hit in the heart after Abel's words. His eyes teared up. ' That's right... He didn't ask anything after treating my mother as well. He hided his face, beated an evil pirate and yet he still didn't ask for anything at all! Not even fame.'

Abel's image in Usopp's heart grew exponentally at that time. He was his father's friend, cured his mother and beat the evil pirate that was bullying him everyday. Abel was simply a superhero for him!

Meanwhile Nami looked a little suspicious. Even though she believed that her teacher was a kind person deep in his heart, she didn't believe he was such a selfless person. Otherwise why would he steal things and beat people up randomly? But she couldn't find anything wrong with his words and kept silent.

''Ding! Relationship updated with Usopp(major character). Current relationship +90( Extreme adoration bordering worship)''

'' Ding! Relationship updated with Nami(major character) Current relationship +55(very close)''

Abel was satisfied with the results of his nonsense and broadcasting. His main reason for the broadcast was so that Nami and Usopp could figure out he was the man behind the mask. Abel frowned a bit when he saw Nami's relationship only increased +5.

His expression softened as he looked at her. 'She is getting smarter, haha. İnteresting' Abel figured that Nami didn't buy his act this time. He turned towards his disciple who was deep in thoughts and flicked her forehead softly.

'' Did you hear? You won't be cute anymore if you are so smart.'' Abel teased.

Nami blushed as she came back to her senses. ' Ah! I knew it. He definitely did it for a reason!' She looked at Usopp who was worshiping Abel with pitying eyes. ' That kid... got tricked.'

Abel saw where Nami was looking and warned her with his eyes. Nami pouted but didn't say anything. 'Hmph, fine. I won't break your play since you want to act cool!'

Abel sighed in relief. 'Brat, I got him to +90 after so much hardship. I will not let you off if you decrease it.' Abel and Nami said farewell to Usopp and went to the mansion. After they went to the mansion, Merry immediately took them to the living room. Abel sat casually as they waited for Kaya to arrive. While they were waiting Nami leaned towards him and whispered.

''Hey, Why did you go after Kuro? You can tell me! I won't tell anyone at all!'' Nami asked in a hushed tone.

'' Well, he should have hidden some of his treasures from when he was a pirate. We can interrogate him and steal his treasures. '' Abel lied casually. ' İf I say I wanted to play the hero for Usopp, she won't believe me at all.' After spending time with Abel, Nami was gradually grasping Abel's personality more so Abel could only make up lies with in line with his personality.

'' İs that so!? Teacher that treasure will also belong to me right? You said in the restaurant, your money or my money doesn't matter! İt is all the same.'' Nami's eyes brightened as she whispered Abel excitedly. Abel was speechless. ' Ah... Why do I have such a loose mouth.'

'' You can have it all for yourself. But, you should be obedient when I ask you to do something in the future.'' Abel said casually and he let out a laugh when he saw how excited she was after she heard this.

'' Really!? Teacher you are the best! I will be obedient, you don't need to worry at all!'' Nami started shouting, earning an awkaward look from Merry. Abel patted her head and calmed her down. After she calmed down he looked at Nami seriously and whispered to her ear.

'' Disciple... My identity as a master thief, master doctor , master demon slayer, master swordsman, also me being very awesome and strong and cool...''

'' Teacher, what are you saying?'' Nami pouted. ' Stop boasting so much.'

'' Well, these identities are secret. İt is enough as long as you know how awesome I am in your heart. Don't tell others. I am a humble person after all, I don't like boasting much. You should learn some humility as well.'' Abel lectured as Nami listened with a dark face. ' Teacher... Why are you so pretentious?'
