"Moonblast, Reflect, Stone Edge, Safeguard, Light Screen, Stealth Rock, Rollout, Power Gem, Tackle, Harden, Rock Slide, Ancient Power... and so on."
After the system's introduction, Luna had a general understanding. She immediately nodded, indicating comprehension.
The system looked down upon any existence below the rank of Vice Admiral, so it uniformly categorized all beings below Vice Admiral strength as "below Vice Admiral." She could understand this, just as she herself wouldn't put a Marine Vice Admiral in her eyes.
As for the age, thinking about it, it was indeed correct. In the world of pokémon, evolution is equivalent to the growth cycle of ordinary creatures, encompassing different age stages.
Bug Type pokémon are the fastest; they can evolve from their initial form to their final form in just one month, like Caterpie evolving into Butterfree, or even faster—sometimes within a week.
The slowest is the Dragon Type. As far as she knew, the slowest took 50 years just to evolve into its final form. However, this was a case of accumulating strength over time; Dragon Type pokémon are incredibly powerful later on, unlike Bug Types, which, despite completing their final evolution the fastest, only have one powerful individual out of a hundred.
At the same time, the evolution of Carbink, which contains both Rock Type and Fairy Type attributes, into Diancie is merely an anomaly. It is not the most difficult evolution among all types of pokémon. Given this age, it seems entirely reasonable.
But who cares? Anyway, Luna had already decided that she would summon Diancie to this world only after some more time had passed.
After the task rewards were processed, Luna felt she had nothing else to do, so she immediately lay down on the bed, covered herself with a blanket, and drifted off to sleep... Meanwhile, at Marineford.
Inside Sengoku's office, only he was currently seated at his desk, while sitting on a nearby sofa were Marine Hero Garp and Marine Chief-of-Staff Tsuru.
With the help of the two of them, although Garp had caused some amusing trouble that almost made him furious.
Sengoku still managed to finish all of today's documents ahead of schedule, allowing him a brief rest to eat some Rice Crackers and drink a cup of tea, accompanied by his two old friends.
But as he ate, Sengoku quickly recalled a small issue that had been reported earlier. Previously, wanting to quickly deal with the documents, and because the issue seemed minor, he hadn't paid much attention to it.
He had forgotten about it, but now that he thought of it, Aokiji had only recently returned, and now he had gone out again. This seemed unusual. What exactly was going on?
"Garp, stop eating. Did Aokiji go out again?"
Thinking of this, Sengoku asked directly. He asked Garp because he knew that among the Three Admirals, Aokiji had the best relationship with Garp; Garp had once mentored Aokiji, and Aokiji held some admiration for him.
Precisely because of this relationship, Garp should know why Aokiji went out again, right? After all, Aokiji had returned only two days after being defeated by Tatsumaki of the Pink Hat Pirates, and had stayed at Marineford for two more days.
Sengoku was genuinely curious about the reason for him leaving again now.
Even Tsuru cast a curious look towards Garp.
"That brat gave his golden transponder snail to Spandam of Enies Lobby. That Spandam is a scoundrel! There was an accident. Before Aokiji left, didn't Onigumo and others lead ten warships to launch a Buster Call? The target location turned out to be Enies Lobby itself. Aokiji went to salvage the situation."
Garp immediately chewed and swallowed the Rice Crackers in his mouth, then sneered as he spoke.
After all, it was such a stupid mistaken order. Of course, if he knew his own grandson was also at Enies Lobby, he would probably have been panicking and flustered already.
Sengoku and Tsuru stopped eating after hearing this, frowning. How could such a mistake be made?
But realizing that Aokiji was handling the matter, they immediately felt much more relieved, believing that at most, only some Marines and World Government personnel on the island would suffer some collateral damage and casualties.
Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, all three looked out the window. As strong, veteran pillars of the Marines, their Observation Haki was not low, and they naturally sensed a faint presence flying in from outside.
"A Newspaper Seagull," Garp exclaimed, somewhat surprised.
"Hmm, why is it flying directly into my office?" Sengoku immediately asked, puzzled, and Tsuru's face was also filled with confusion.
Because, while Newspaper Seagulls do come to Marineford to distribute newspapers—a practice the Marines tacitly allow—Newspaper Seagulls do not enter important locations. Usually, they arrive at the plaza and conduct newspaper sales with ordinary Marine Soldiers.
If they wanted to know the news, these Marines would bring the papers up to them. Why was it that today a Seagull seemed intent on flying directly into the office?
"Could it be that someone is trying to use the Newspaper Seagull to deliver information directly to me?" Tsuru immediately came up with a guess. It must be said that she was very smart, guessing at least 95% correctly.
Sengoku, who was about to speak up and stop the Newspaper Seagull from entering, thought for a moment. It seemed this was indeed possible, and the matter must be significant, so he allowed the Newspaper Seagull to enter.
This Seagull, of course, was sent by Luna to deliver a message to Sengoku and the others.
At this moment, it was filled with fear, which made its actions very swift. It immediately retrieved the small transponder snail from its bag, dropped it onto the table, and quickly flapped its wings to leave.
The three men frowned. Since it was right in front of Garp, he picked it up immediately. Upon opening it, they found it was a video transponder snail.
It intended to ask them to watch a video, with the content contained within the recording. The three immediately realized.
This definitely wasn't good news; the situation seemed quite serious.
The expressions of these three Marine veterans weren't good; there was trouble again, and likely a big one.
"Open it and see," Sengoku sighed, standing up with a resolute gaze, speaking as he walked closer.
Regardless of the severity or difficulty, he would accept it. Let's see what exactly has arrived.
Garp nodded and pressed the button on the transponder snail. Soon, a pre-prepared video began to play—the recording Luna wanted them to see.
Garp and the others immediately became more shocked and more distressed the more they watched, breathing heavily due to anger.
"Scoundrels!" Sengoku cursed directly. He finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"This is too lawless!" Even Tsuru swore in anger, the veins on her forehead throbbing due to fury, exacerbated by the humiliation she suffered at Luna's hands last time, and being told about the sea.
One might even suspect she would crush the staff that had accompanied her for many years, simply because her rage was now overwhelming, seemingly approaching the power of a volcanic eruption.
"This is indeed going too far." Garp's expression was also terrible, as if he had eaten a pound of chili peppers, gritting his teeth.
The Rice Crackers and the teacup in his hand were crushed, and he ignored the scalding tea in his other hand because he truly hadn't expected Luna to be so ruthless this time.
Ten thousand Marine Soldiers! That was ten thousand Marine Soldiers, plus ten of the Marines' most advanced and sturdiest warships. The Marines' losses and casualties this time were unprecedented in recent years, not even occurring in the twenty years since Roger was executed.
These three Marine veterans finally couldn't help but curse when they finished watching the Pink Hat Pirates massacre the Buster Call fleet.
But at the same time, they maintained a shred of composure. They were Marines who had survived the old era. Casualties like this were common among the older generation before Roger's execution, especially during the Rocks Era.
Of course, they only possessed strength, not intellect.
Garp and the other two were also very surprised; the overall strength displayed by the Pink Hat Pirates was indeed astonishing.
Furthermore, the individual strength was not low, whether it was Luna, whom they genuinely regarded as having Yonko level strength, or Tatsumaki, who possessed Admiral Level strength.
There were also some other young girls whose strength was not low, but what truly astonished the three of them was the power displayed by Kuina and Shiro. After a brief internal analysis, they were once again immensely shocked, forgetting even their previous anger.
"Those two have likely already reached Admiral Level strength," Sengoku said, gritting his teeth, his face full of distress.
"No way! The talent of those two girls is too strong! You must remember that the last time they fought Bogard, they were only Reserve Admirals."
"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel that Dia and that little sniper girl's strength are probably also rapidly approaching the Admiral Level."
Tsuru immediately followed up, having observed very carefully. She felt that the strength of Dia and Asada Shino was also unusual, and just as she said, they seemed on the verge of entering the Admiral Level.
No, there were also the last three girls. The powers of the Angel, the Snow Woman, and the Phoenix. Anyway, she had momentarily forgotten their names.
But after thinking for a moment, the strength of these three girls would likely soon fully reach the Reserve Admiral level, perhaps even faster than Dia and Asada Shino's speed in reaching the Admiral Level, in her estimation.
She herself was a Devil Fruit User, so she naturally wouldn't underestimate the power of those three legendary devil fruit—Angel, Phoenix, and Snow Woman. Furthermore, the talent and imagination of these three young girls were likely very high.
Therefore, she immediately mentioned this matter again, emphasizing that the talent of these three girls was likely not low, and coupled with the fact that the Pink Hat Pirates were all very young, fluctuating around 20 years old.
There's no guarantee they won't all become Admirals and Emperors in the future.
After hearing this, Sengoku and Garp both took a sharp intake of breath.
"We still underestimated the Pink Hat Pirates," Sengoku said with a heavy expression.
"Sengoku, Tsuru, there seems to be more afterward. Also, did you notice that the long-range energy punch Luna unleashed looked a bit like Magma?"
Garp immediately raised a crucial question.
