But at the same time, Luna also discovered something miraculous: her current Pink Hat Pirates, including herself, had a total of ten members. If her Void Ability was counted as an elemental attribute...
...then The Girls would also each represent one.
Kuina possesses the power of Darkness, Shiro possesses the power of Metal, Nojiko possesses the power of Ice and Snow, Kaya possesses the power of Cold Ice, Asada Shino possesses the power of Thunder and Lightning, Carmen possesses the power of Fire, and Dia possesses the power of Space.
Tornado possesses the power of Psychokinesis, which is considered a type of mental power, so she also counts as one attribute.
And then there is Shana. Once she eats the White Tiger Fruit and acquires those two weapons, the power she represents and possesses will be that of Hurricane.
At the same time, Luna also realized that she still had one unfinished mission: she had not yet killed Spandine to obtain the bb corn and the guiding light.
But she estimated it would be soon, no more than four days.
Because, hehe, do you know what it means to be instantly killed the moment you show your head, or even if you don't show your head?
"Oh, this is wonderful, this is wonderful! I've finally joined the Pink Hat Pirates! Thank you, Captain, thank you, everyone."
Shana cried tears of excitement, jumping up and down joyfully. Her crewmates and Luna simply watched her, maintaining their congratulatory smiles.
Because they all understood the joy Shana felt in her heart, which was like lightning and thunder tearing across the sky, or a volcanic eruption cleansing the entire continent.
"Captain, the materials are all ready. We can build the new ship and equipment anytime. Do you have any instructions for the next step?" Dia said with a sweet smile, her hands clasped behind her back, appearing both lovely and slightly cool.
"No rush. This place is too small. The new ship we need to build far exceeds our current pirate ship; it will be 400 meters long alone. When we arrived earlier, I found a good Deserted Island, so let's build the new ship there. Also, I have already sent a threat letter to the Marines, demanding that they bring what I want to ransom the hostages in three days. Everyone, play for two days, train for one day, and in three days, we will face the Marines. Once we defeat the Marines and get the items, we'll leave."
Luna thought for a moment, then laid out all her upcoming plans.
The Girls agreed immediately, finding her plan reasonable. Their hearts were filled with happiness and anticipation—happiness because they could play in Water Seven for two days, and anticipation for the battle against the Marines in three days. This time, they could fight with their full strength. While massacre battles were fun, evenly matched fights were also very interesting... Shiro had already created several spatial storage tools, and she immediately packed all the materials into them, but Luna quickly interjected.
The matter of the new ship can wait, but the task of cultivating the Bei Group into Galactron Monster Girls must be put on the agenda immediately, preferably completed within these three days.
Because although she was unsure of the situation with the Marines, with so many reward items in her hands, boosting the Pink Hat Pirates' combat power significantly within three days would not be a problem.
The most important task, of course, was to enhance the strength of the Bei Group, who currently seemed no different from normal people, and transform them into Galactron Monster Girls.
Shiro agreed, but then immediately pointed out that the space on the ship was a bit small, and the equipment needed for the transformation would take up too much room.
This instantly presented another problem. Moreover, the pirate ship would now serve as the prison for the six Marines they were holding, and the crew also needed to live there, so the modification plan was indeed unsuitable for implementation on the pirate ship.
"Water Seven is so big; we could temporarily rent a factory building," Shana suddenly suggested.
Luna's eyes immediately lit up. That's right! They could leverage their relationship with the Straw Hat Pirates to approach Iceberg. After all, the Straw Hat Pirates were the heroes of the entire Water Seven. Asking them to borrow a factory building—at the cost of a little money—would allow Shiro to transform the entire Bei Group into Galactron Monster Girls without worrying about the lack of space.
Night quickly arrived. In fact, it had already been late afternoon when they first arrived. Luna did not bring out the top-tier delicacies from the Toriko world; Carmen's cooking was utilized as usual, and The Girls ate happily and enjoyed the meal.
However, during dinner, Luna quickly drained the watermelon juice in her hand, then immediately spoke to Shana.
"Shana, since you have become a crew member of our Pink Hat Pirates, according to my rules, are you ready to accept a power boost like a rocket launch?"
Shana, who had been happily chatting and enjoying the food with The Girls, paused for a moment, then immediately stood up, excited and joyful, and replied.
"I am ready."
"Good."
Luna wasted no time. She immediately took out the White Tiger Fruit and briefly explained its abilities.
It granted the ability to control hurricanes, extremely strong close-combat attack power, the ability to transform into a White Tiger and a White Tiger Human, and a significant enhancement of physical fitness and attributes.
The Girls were stunned, especially the five crewmates native to the One Piece World. Good heavens, it was another top-tier legendary Devil Fruit.
"Thank you, Captain." Having already heard the experiences of The Girls, Shana did not hesitate. After expressing her sincere gratitude, she immediately took it.
She bit into it immediately, but soon, Shana's originally grateful expression instantly became as ugly as if she had eaten that thing.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh—the Devil Fruit really tastes awful." Shana had only heard rumors before, but now she believed it because she had tasted it herself. She suppressed the urge to vomit and swallowed it down, knowing that only by eating the flesh could she gain the ability.
But quickly, the changes caused by eating the Devil Fruit began to occur.
Centered around Shana, The Girls were surprised to find a faint breeze emanating from her body, which then grew larger and larger until Shana was suddenly enveloped in an azure tornado.
The strong airflow almost blew the food off the dining table. Fortunately, Shana reacted quickly. Startled out of her daze, she controlled the hurricane from spreading outwards, thus avoiding the tragedy of wasted food.
Seeing this, Luna thought to herself that sure enough, even though they were both Mythical Zoan types, the changes brought about by eating a Devil Fruit were still different; the transformation caused by wind was much less dramatic than that caused by fire.
Even though the Phoenix and the White Tiger were nearly equal, they were no worse than the Angel and the Fairy. These four legendary Devil Fruits were all Mythical Zoan types, each having its own advantages and disadvantages, with no distinction of good or bad, or strong or weak. It all depended on how the consumer used and developed them.
But suddenly, the transformation on Shana's body progressed further.
An astonishing change occurred on her body. Unconsciously, Shana adopted a posture of roaring toward the sky. With a tiger roar directed skyward, her entire body changed under the blowing and surrounding hurricane, eventually transforming completely into a majestic and handsome White Tiger, though it was clearly a female tiger.
Under the dark night sky, especially since Water Seven had just been cleansed by the Aqua Laguna, the roar of the tiger nearly woke up all the residents. It was only due to a glance from Luna that Dia immediately set up a soundproof spatial barrier. Otherwise, Shana's action would have constituted severe disturbance of the peace.
They certainly wouldn't do something so unethical.
At this moment, the White Tiger that Shana had transformed into was truly beautiful and handsome sitting before the dining table, with pristine white fur and black stripes. Its eyes were golden, appearing dazzling and awe-inspiring.
Its strong limbs and paws, beautiful posture, sharp claws and fangs, and a tail that looked very flexible and powerful left no doubt about its close-combat capabilities. The tiger, as a creature, could be said to be the most perfect fighting beast nurtured by nature.
But suddenly, another change occurred on Shana's body, and all The Girls knew she was about to transform into her Human-Beast Form.
Events unfolded exactly as they had anticipated; the White Tiger began to change again.
After the azure tornado enveloped the White Tiger, the White Tiger slowly changed shape and size, returning to Shana's original human appearance, but with some differences.
Her arms and hands transformed into tiger limbs and paws, her eyes turned golden, and a tail sprouted behind her. The fangs in Shana's mouth became sharper, more pointed, and longer, a few whiskers appeared on both sides of her cheeks, and a pair of tiger ears grew on her head. Her feet also transformed into tiger feet.
The overall color scheme remained predominantly white with black stripes—this was definitely a White Tiger Girl.
Shana was filled with excitement and thrill as she examined herself. I've become stronger, I've really become stronger! She could even transform into a giant White Tiger and possess the ability to control wind and super strong close-combat skills.
Thinking of this, Shana's gratitude toward Luna grew even stronger, comparable to a majestic mountain piercing the clouds and standing firm.
Luna and The Girls were also very happy to see this. Shana had become stronger, possessing immense power, specifically the power of the White Tiger, one of the four legendary divine beasts.
Even as a Devil Fruit User, she was naturally still afraid of seawater and Sea Stone.
But Luna still had to give her the remaining items. For instance, while Shana was still transforming, Luna had already used two Awakening Cards on her. Shana actually now possessed the power of Observation Haki and Armament Haki, but she was too excited to notice that she had gained the awakening of these two types of Haki.
"Shana, these are your weapons." After Luna finished speaking, she immediately took out two weapons that looked highly technological.
Their colors were mainly azure and blue, with a slight touch of white, and they clearly seemed related to the wind element.
One was a large steel gauntlet that could be worn over the forearm; the fist part was slightly larger than an average person's head. The other appeared to be a lion head cannon that could also be worn over the forearm.
