"It's not like abandoning it, oh, don't say it like that, I'll still find someone who needs a ship and cares for it, and sell it cheaply." Luna, hearing this, was first slightly stunned, then quickly and urgently explained.
She wasn't someone who would abandon something in the end; she would still give this ship a good home.
But suddenly, Luna realized something was wrong and immediately asked again.
"System, what does that mean?" But in reality, Luna had already guessed the answer, yet she just couldn't believe it.
The soul extraction lamp was related to the ship spirit, and it suddenly connected to the pirate ship they were standing on.
Then there was only one possibility, but Luna just couldn't believe it!
The pirate ship they were standing on, since the System had already provided them with the soul extraction lamp, proved that a ship spirit had also been born on their ship.
This made Luna truly unable to believe it, after all, they had never treated this ship as a true companion, truly only as a tool, and they didn't even really care for the ship, so how did it come to this? The System told her that her ship had already given birth to a ship spirit.
"Host, why don't you think about what you've truly done? From Syrup Village until now, through countless battles big and small, this ship has not been damaged at all. In this regard, you are even stronger than the Straw Hat Pirates; when they fought, they even accidentally damaged the Going Merry."
"Also, you had the robots clean almost 24 hours a day without interruption, both inside and outside the ship, and even the bottom of the ship, keeping it spotless, without any dust or strange odors. In this regard, you are also stronger than the Straw Hat Pirate Crew, and this greatly accelerated the speed and quality of the ship spirit's birth."
"Finally, after Dia arrived, she fulfilled her duty as a Shipwright, constantly repairing and mending, keeping the entire ship in a brand new state, unlike the Straw Hat Pirates who didn't have a Shipwright before and only patched big holes when repairing the Going Merry."
"Although you haven't treated this ship as a true companion, the effort you've put in far exceeds what is called care, and it has also allowed this ship to give birth to a ship spirit. However, your sailing time is still a bit too short compared to the Straw Hat Pirates, so the ship spirit currently being born is still in its embryonic form and does not yet possess its own wisdom, thinking ability, emotions, and so on."
The System, possessing its own emotions, took a deep breath and then immediately began to explain. Luna understood after listening; so that's how it was.
She hadn't even noticed that her care and protection for this ship were actually quite substantial.
At the same time, she understood, so she quickly asked again in her mind.
"You provided me with this thing, hoping that I could extract the ship spirit, which hasn't fully formed yet, and then have it reside in a new ship."
"Yes."
"I understand, and thank you for giving me such an opportunity."
"As a System that provides thoughtful service, this is what I should do."
After completing this final exchange, Luna and the System's internal dialogue ended, and they returned to reality.
Their pirate ship had already docked at a port in Water Seven.
The sails were lowered and the anchor dropped, but The Girls didn't disembark, because they all knew they were about to go fight a slaughter.
They were about to set off again, and it wouldn't be too late to return to this beautiful water city and have a good time after finishing this battle.
But Shana, standing by, was extremely nervous and serious, and the Bei Group was a little too, as they would be going down with Shana later.
If Shana was the test, then they were about to undertake their first mission.
"Shana, your test to become a full-fledged member of our Pink Hat Pirates main force has two parts. First, you need to investigate who the CP9 members are that have been lurking in Water Seven for many years. You don't need to worry about safety; they already succeeded and left yesterday. In other words, they have been exposed, but Water Seven is in chaos right now, so it's still a bit difficult."
"Second, you need to procure all the materials on this list. This is Water Seven, the world's largest shipyard, so it won't be difficult to acquire all the materials on it. The Bei Group will assist you throughout. This is your assessment, understood?"
Luna looked at Shana and the other girls in front of her, displaying the serious expression a Captain should have, but a smile still lingered on her lips, which was also a form of encouragement.
"Good luck."
"I hope you can make it."
"Everyone has grown quite fond of you these past few days."
"Don't disappoint us."
"You can do it, good luck."
The other girls also encouraged her, one after another, though when it came to Dia and Tatsumaki, their words were a bit teasing and sharp-tongued, perfectly matching their personalities.
"I will definitely complete this assessment." Shana's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. Such a task sounded challenging, but it wasn't difficult for her to complete. She had been to Water Seven before and had some interactions and connections with people there.
Carrying a large sum of money, Shana and the Bei Group immediately disembarked and walked along the streets into Water Seven.
"Alright, let's set off too. The next stop is Enies Lobby, where a thrilling battle awaits us." Luna turned around and said with a smile.
"Captain, we don't seem to have an eternal pose or a directional pose for Enies Lobby." Nojiko said with some difficulty.
"We don't need it this time. Look, what's that?" Luna extended her small hand and pointed.
All The Girls looked together, and then they were all momentarily stunned before saying in unison.
"The sea railway specially used by the sea train?"
That's right, the dock they were currently moored at actually offered a perfect view of a sea railway built on the sea level, especially the very distinct row of streetlights.
"Exactly. Although it doesn't go directly, following this path will allow us to reach Enies Lobby very quickly, and we should be able to just catch the Marines' Buster Call."
Luna smiled, as this was something she had specifically asked the System about, so she was very confident.
"I see."
"That's great, this looks much better."
"This way, we don't need any eternal pose."
"It's a good thing the Captain thought of this method beforehand."
The Girls immediately spoke happily, one after another. Now, the problem of determining direction and heading to Enies Lobby was solved.
"Alright, let's set off quickly, so as not to delay. Shiro, use both the underwater electric propeller and the rocket thrusters."
"Yes, Captain x 7."
"Okay, I understand."
After Luna finished speaking, all The Girls and Shiro spoke simultaneously, one after another.
At the same time, they quickly set off again, immediately hoisting sails and raising anchor, moving along the sea railway at an extremely fast speed, as if a cheetah had suddenly appeared, running swiftly across the sea surface.
After about an hour and a half, they finally arrived at Enies Lobby.
And on the other side of the sea level.
The Marine Buster Call, composed of 10 warships, 5 Vice Admirals, and elite Marine forces, launched a brutal attack that burned everything to ashes.
Each warship had at least about 1000 Marine Soldiers, so ten warships meant roughly ten thousand.
Arriving early is not as good as arriving just in time; they actually stumbled upon this.
Luna's eyes lit up; she never expected to arrive so coincidentally. She had originally thought that by the time she arrived, the Straw Hat Pirates would have already completely escaped.
But she didn't expect it, she really didn't expect it, the Buster Call had just arrived, and Enies Lobby hadn't even entered the Marine's firing range yet.
"Hahaha, truly heaven helps Luna! The Girls, prepare for battle." After Luna burst into laughter, she had completely activated the Greeza Template power within her body.
She was very happy now, after all, one of her missions was to destroy Enies Lobby. Destroying an Enies Lobby that was already on the verge of destruction from the Marines' attacks wouldn't be much fun. Destroying it from beginning to end, now that's what's interesting.
The other girls all smiled slightly after hearing this. Their entire bodies, and their eyes, were filled with fighting spirit and killing intent.
Kuina had already drawn the Demon Blade Thousand Blades from its sheath, her purple robes fluttering without wind, and she activated her Blood Eyes, her pupils turning a captivating red.
Shiro held the Galactron Axe in her right hand, had the Galactron Hover Cannon installed on her left arm, and the Galactron Tail Shaft installed on the armor at the back of her head.
Tatsumaki glowed green all over, the black shirt on her skirt fluttering without wind, and her Psychokinesis seemed ready to erupt at any moment.
Dia also glowed with a dazzling luminescence all over her body. The Space Stone, embedded in the left wrist guard she specially crafted for herself, perfectly matched the bluish-green rainbow stone she wore on her right forehead, both emitting brilliant light.
Asada Shino, with her hecate sniper rifle, from the stock to the bayonet, reflected a cold and murderous glint. Behind her, blue-gold lightning wings formed again, and occasional currents of electricity coursed over her body.
Carmen was ablaze with the fighting spirit of phoenix fire. She had once again transformed into a Phoenix Person, still holding her frying pan weapon, Red Wolf.
Nojiko transformed into her Yuki-onna Form, exuding chilling coldness, the surrounding moisture turning into snowflakes and ice crystals. Ribbons floated from behind her, passing under her wrists and armpits, and she held the cold core thousand illusions staff in her hand.
Kaya transformed into her Angel Form, radiating boundless holy light, incredibly pure and sacred, filled with warm and pure white light that flickered around her. She spread the angel wings behind her, wore a golden-glowing angel halo on her head, and held the angel dawn spear in her hand.
All The Girls were ready for battle.
The robots piloted the pirate ship towards the Marine's Buster Call fleet.
"Dia, we're approximately 2000 meters away now. When we're about 1500 meters, you can directly teleport all of us to the deck of the third warship from left to right. The deck of that ship doesn't seem to have as many Marine Soldiers gathered, making it a good landing spot."
