"Send this recording to Marineford, to Sengoku, and then you'll be free."
Luna said as she opened the cage.
At the same time, she put the transponder snail, which the system had already processed and stored the edited recording in, into a small bag and handed it to the Newspaper Seagull in front of her.
The Newspaper Seagull immediately put the small bag into its satchel.
It nodded, indicating it would definitely complete the task, then walked out of the cage, flapped its wings, and flew out the window.
Luna went to the window and saw the Newspaper Seagull already high in the sky.
This was, after all, still the sea near Enies Lobby, very close to Marineford, so she believed the Newspaper Seagull would arrive very soon.
As for whether it would get lost, haha, a Newspaper Seagull that has been professionally delivering newspapers for so many years would get lost? What a joke!
However, while there was still some time before returning to Enies Lobby, Luna decided to deal with the rewards from the four completed missions.
First, the 20 tons of kaila giant crocodile meat, just like the sweet cola that appeared before, would be set aside.
The time for the long-distance journey was not far off, and they would discuss it during the Pink Hat Pirate Crew's internal feast, as it was such delicious meat.
Next, she saw the Electric King skill card from the Pokémon World appear in her hand.
"System, please help me process this again and use it directly on Shino, and also inform her," Luna said with a smile.
"Understood, Host, happy to oblige," the system immediately spoke in her mind.
At the same time, the card in Luna's hand instantly turned into a glimmering light and dissipated into the air.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Asada Shino, who had also just finished a bath, was wiping her hair with a towel, her proud and beautiful body revealed.
But suddenly, Asada Shino's eyes widened, and her movements stopped, as a memory suddenly appeared in her mind; her body instinctively gained a new reaction, as if she had acquired a skill that she could use through instinct.
The system's voice also immediately appeared in her mind, telling her what had happened.
"So that's it, thank you, Luna, this is great! Now I finally have a control skill, and combined with the bullets from my sniper rifle, I might be able to release an electric net attack over ultra-long distances to control opponents, and if hit and trapped by this Electric King, enemies will continuously take lightning damage. I must try it later."
After understanding, Asada Shino immediately said with a joyful smile, and at the same time, she explained how she could better utilize the Electric Net skill: by combining it with the bullets fired from her sniper rifle to unleash a greater combat effect of the Electric Net skill.
At the same time, in Luna's room, she was also dealing with the remaining rewards.
First was the Three Types of Haki Enhancement Luxury Pack. Luna used it directly on herself. A golden light flashed all over Luna's body. She greatly enjoyed this feeling, closing her eyes, a slight smile on her lips, silently savoring it, as if her entire being had been sublimated.
"Congratulations, Host, you have upgraded your Three Types of Haki to the top level, officially becoming a top-tier Haki master on the Grand Line, and have acquired special usage methods: Observation Killing, Armament Hardening, and Conquerors Haki Barrier."
"Observation Killing: Able to control one's aura, preventing opponents from using Observation Haki to foresee the future. This ability suppresses the opponent's use of Observation Haki, making them unable to foresee the user's next move, thereby gaining an advantage in combat."
"Armament Hardening: Can transform the Haki energy and flow of Armament Haki into a tangible object. This special Armament Haki weapon significantly increases defense and attack power, greatly enhancing the user's combat ability, thereby gaining an advantage in combat."
"Conquerors Haki Barrier: An upgrade based on Supreme King Haki Infusion, capable of condensing invisible Conqueror's Haki around oneself into a tangible barrier. It has extremely high defense and can block most attacks from a distance, thereby gaining a significant advantage in combat."
"Give it a try."
Luna immediately tried it. Observation Killing, of course, couldn't be tested because there was no one there to help Luna experiment.
But the latter two were fine. Luna extended her hand, clenching it into a fist, and a miraculous scene occurred: Luna's hand immediately donned a pair of pitch-black gauntlets, gauntlets made of Armament Haki, and a layer of Haki flowed over them, the unique purplish-gold color that Luna used with Ryou.
Luna also guessed that perhaps in the hands of some special individuals, the color of Haki at high-level application would be different.
But Luna could now fully feel that compared to Armament Haki: Ryuo, these Armament Haki gauntlets formed by Hardening had a greater increase in attack and defense.
And it wasn't just gauntlets that could be condensed. Luna subsequently condensed various weapons like swords and blades. Of course, long-range attacks were still not possible. Luna found that she could only condense close-combat weapons. If she wanted to condense long-range weapons for Haki energy attacks, she still needed more training and practice.
However, her close-combat ability had been greatly enhanced.
"Not bad, not bad." After playing enough.
After retracting her Armament Haki, Luna also tried the Conquerors Haki Barrier.
Dark red lightning flashed before her palm, but Luna could detect the presence of an invisible barrier, and its defense was very high.
But no matter what, her Haki had reached the peak, no matter which type. She really wanted to find someone to fight, preferably a strong one, using only Haki.
"I hope the Marines don't disappoint me and send some strong individuals," Luna said with a smile, taking out a summon card.
As before, she wouldn't summon immediately; she would first see who was summoned.
Luna quickly used it, and the system's prompt sounded once again.
"Ding, Host has used a summon card. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a character from the Pokémon World: Diamond Princess Diancie."
"No way, it's actually her." Luna was a little surprised, even stunned.
But indeed, she had previously obtained a skill card from the Pokémon World, and now her new companion was also from the Pokémon World—to be precise, not a person, but a pokémon.
It was a Mythical pokémon, and currently, among those she knew, the only Mythical pokémon capable of Mega Evolution.
First appearing in pokémon X and Y, it is a Rock/Fairy-type Mythical pokémon.
A mutant of Carbink, it shines with a pink glow all over its body and is considered the most beautiful in the world. It compresses carbon in the air with its hands, creating a large number of diamonds in an instant. No known evolutionary line exists.
With the help of a Diancite, it can Mega Evolve into Mega Diancie.
But suddenly, Luna seemed to realize something. She blinked, thought for a moment, and then immediately asked,
"System, when I summon, will it be a normal form Diancie?"
It wasn't that Luna was being precious; it was because, in her impression, a regular Diancie in its normal form, let alone a pokémon, even ordinary people could deal with her. In other words, in the One Piece World, ordinary humans could deal with this Diamond pokémon.
With this strength... "It is as the Host thinks, but Host, with my help, it shouldn't be difficult for you to raise her strength with mission rewards, as you have done it several times before." The system first gave an answer, then offered its opinion.
"You have a point." Luna thought of the rewards she received last time, the two armament haki awakening cards and two Observation Haki Awakening Cards, which were still in the system space. She felt that the system was indeed not wrong.
She planned to give one set of two different Haki Awakening Cards to Shana, and the remaining two would form another set for Diancie later.
Moreover, she might also obtain other items that could enhance Diancie's strength, such as Diancie's Mega Stone.
She could even make her Mega Evolve permanently.
But all in all, the matter of her joining the Pink Hat Pirate Crew would have to wait, perhaps until they left Water Seven and had acquired a new ship.
Therefore, Luna decided to fully summon Diancie later, but she still had the system bring up Diancie's virtual panel.
[Name: Diancie]
[Age: 16]
[Gender: Female]
[Occupation: None]
[Strength: Below Vice Admiral]
[Weapon: None]
[Abilities: Produces diamonds, proficient in multiple pokémon moves.]
Luna was stunned after reading it, just sitting on the bed.
Because seeing this virtual panel, Luna had many more questions. First, why was the age 16? And why was the strength listed as "Below Vice Admiral"? Was there no specific value? Also, "proficient in multiple pokémon moves"? What the hell? Didn't Diancie in its normal form only know how to create diamonds? Besides, Carbink, as a pokémon, isn't very strong in combat, is it?
Although the Pokémon World has its own leveling system, which is at least much stronger than the One Piece World, in terms of base stats, Carbink as a pokémon is really weak.
"System, what's going on?" Luna asked directly, unable to figure it out.
"Carbink can evolve into Diancie. In the Pokémon World, this is a very rare situation, as it is a Mythical pokémon, but it still hasn't deviated from pokémon evolution. A growth process takes time."
"The Diancie you drew, Host, took this long, 16 years, to evolve from Carbink to Diancie."
"Then there's the strength. Why is the 'Strength' column on the virtual panel written as 'Below Vice Admiral'? That's because the system's strength evaluation for people. Below Vice Admiral, it won't elaborate, uniformly categorized as 'Below Vice Admiral'."
"Finally, the pokémon moves that this Diancie you drew has mastered, they are indeed present."
"That includes the following..."
