"My current comprehensive strength is very poor. After all, even Conquerors Haki Infusion was something I barely managed to learn, and the other Two Types of Haki are still insufficient. My Haoshoku is also not up to par. I must also quickly improve my physical combat skills," Luna said with a serious expression.
She first evaluated herself, identifying her shortcomings and areas needing improvement.
If she wanted to become the queen of this world and depose Imu, she would have to continuously improve, despite her Void Ability and the destructive power of Gliza's skills.
She currently possesses at least Admiral Level combat power, and even some of the top powerhouses on the Grand Line would be unable to deal with her.
After all, her Gliza Void Ability is practically unresolvable. She is almost immune to all attacks.
"Although my other companions are doing well for now, their strength must rapidly increase once we enter the Grand Line," Luna murmured to herself again.
Her five current companions are:
Kuina, Swordswoman and first mate, with Reserve Admiral strength.
Shiro, Scientist, with Reserve Admiral strength.
Nojiko, Navigator, at the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Level, or even possessing that strength.
Kaya, Ship Doctor, with Marine Branch Vice Admiral strength.
Shino Asada, Sniper, is also of similar strength, but in Luna's opinion, she should be somewhere between Nojiko and Kaya.
This was also the system's evaluation of them.
However, she did not come away from this battle empty-handed; in fact, her gains were quite significant.
First, her initial Pirate Crew had been established, complete with a decent pirate ship, a Pirate Crew name, and a flag.
Through this battle, they had already made a name for themselves, as they had rendered Marine Hero Garp helpless, forcing him to retreat.
Luna was now eagerly awaiting the bounty posters the Marines would issue for them. She wondered how high her bounty would be.
Finally, in her system space, she had six Awakening Cards—two for Observation Haki, two for Armament Haki, and two for Haoshoku—as well as a magic person-seeking staff and two random Devil Fruits.
These were her biggest gains, crucial for increasing her own and her companions' strength.
Regarding the six Awakening Cards, after some thought, she decided to stick with her previous plan: use them on Kuina and Shiro first.
This would allow them to immediately awaken the Three Types of Haki and boost their strength. With the Three Types of Haki, Kuina and Shiro's strength would rapidly approach Admiral Level.
Then, with further advancements in their Haki or other abilities, they could directly reach Admiral Level strength.
As her left and right-hand subordinates, like Zoro and Sanji for Luffy in the Straw Hat Pirates, who were Luffy's Wings of the Pirate King.
And Silvers Rayleigh and Jabba, Roger's left and right-hand subordinates.
She naturally had to quickly raise their strength. After all, facing the impending thrilling and dangerous situations, the Marines' difficulties, and pirates and Bounty Hunters who would specifically seek trouble, she couldn't personally handle every single thing at all times.
Many matters required the crew members to handle them themselves, especially these two, the representatives of the Pink Hat Pirates below her.
Then there were the two Devil Fruits. She already knew what these Devil Fruits were, and she planned to give one to Shiro, as its ability was very suitable for her.
As for the other one, she intended to give it to a new companion. After all, this new companion's situation was similar to Nojiko and Kaya's, originally weak existences. But Luna believed she would like this Devil Fruit, and she was confident she could invite this person to join the crew.
Thinking of this, she immediately took out the magic person-seeking staff. After some manipulation, she quickly learned the location of the last companion she could invite in the East Blue.
"Hmm? Hahaha, heaven truly helps me! It's in the town we're currently heading to."
Luna was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter. She was very happy.
She hadn't expected to find what she sought without effort.
The new companion she intended to invite was in the town they had decided to go to next.
Luna's luck was truly good. She had originally thought this new companion might still be in Loguetown, or at a distant location, or even already left the East Blue. If it were the last case, that would be troublesome, unless she had entered the Grand Line, which would be a blessing in disguise.
But she hadn't expected this person to be in the town they were headed to.
What else could this be but heaven helping Luna?
"Hahahaha, to have three companions join the crew in one day, this is truly wonderful."
Luna suddenly thought of this, and her smile became even brighter and more joyful... Time quickly came to that evening. Luna and The Girls had, after all, sailed for a considerable amount of time.
They finally arrived at their destination, a small island town named Guevara Town.
After glancing through her telescope, Luna folded it and put it away.
After a few simple commands, Luna and The Girls docked their ship at a small pier, furled the sails, and cast anchor.
By the time they arrived, it was already completely night, with no trace of twilight. The pier at night was mostly deserted, adding a touch of tranquility.
"Let's go find a good restaurant," Luna said with a smile, leading the way. The Girls followed closely, also smiling.
They immediately disembarked from the ship, passed through the small pier, and entered the town. After asking some of the local residents.
They quickly arrived at a nice open-air restaurant in Guevara Town. It was especially cozy for dining in the evening.
This restaurant's outdoor dining area was a garden.
Next to it was a fountain and fishpond, surrounded by manicured flowerbeds.
Combined with the lighting, it was indeed a good place to enjoy dinner.
Luna and The Girls took a large round table. Kuina pulled out a small bag of money. After receiving the money and confirming they weren't dining and dashing, the waiter quickly brought them a large table of delicious dishes, fine wine, and tasty fruit juice.
Because only a minority of The Girls could drink alcohol here; currently, only Kuina, Kaya, and Nojiko drank.
Luna could also handle some, and Shiro had no problem; she could learn from Shino Asada to adapt her palate to the taste of wine.
But then again, they could drink whatever they wanted, whatever they liked. Although on this vast sea, both Marines and pirates enjoyed drinking alcohol.
But these were men's affairs; they were girls, so naturally, they could drink whatever they liked.
So at the dinner table, the six Girls drank what each preferred.
Moreover, this time they weren't here just to drink, but to celebrate their victory in repelling the Marines and the initial establishment of the Pink Hat Pirates.
Enjoying the food was the main point.
The Girls enjoyed the food on the table, some eating heartily, others with elegance and grace.
And most importantly, there was no one to disturb them. This was a relatively high-end restaurant. From their earlier understanding, although commoners could also come to eat, given the quality of life and economic resources of the commoners in this town, they could at most come once or twice a month.
So currently, besides Luna and The Girls, there weren't many people dining here, and Luna and The Girls had chosen a secluded spot.
This allowed them to dine peacefully and enjoy their victory.
Although the beauty of the six of them still attracted some male diners and waiters, upon seeing Kuina's demon blade thousand blades at her waist, Shiro's giant axe embedded in her armor, Shino Asada's hécate, and the strong aura that all six of them more or less possessed.
These people also understood that Luna and The Girls were not simple and did not want to cause more trouble, so they only glanced a few times before immediately returning to their tasks.
However, while Luna was currently enjoying the food, she had not forgotten her new objective for coming here: to find that new companion and invite her to join the crew.
And this person absolutely had to be invited, because her professional ability was too important for their current Pirate Crew.
But thinking of the information the magic person-seeking staff had given her, the companion she was to invite seemed to be in considerable trouble in this current town.
And this town was not as peaceful as they had imagined.
To put it this way, Guevara Town, where they were currently located, was like Shells Town not long ago.
There was a Marine branch here that often plundered and oppressed the local populace.
And upon learning this, Luna had already decided to raze the Marine base here to the ground.
But sometimes, what you wish for comes true.
Suddenly, a series of footsteps echoed from outside. An arrogant-looking, yellow-haired youth in a Marine uniform walked in.
Behind him followed a group of ordinary Marine soldiers with firearms on their backs or swords at their waists. But seeing the malicious, sneering expressions on their faces, it was clear they were not good Marines, but rather degenerates within the Marines.
Of course, in Luna's eyes, most Marines weren't much better.
"The Girls, get ready for action. Consider it a post-dinner stroll, good for digestion," Luna sneered, first downing her cup of apple juice, a slight smirk on her lips, and said.
The other five all nodded. They understood that Luna intended to take action against this group of Marines. Some had arrived early, some late, but more or less, they all knew their captain's intentions.
Whether you are a Marine, a pirate, or anything else, as long as you commit evil in my eyes, and I hear about it and it's confirmed, then you will be eliminated, eliminated by us.
The Girls also slowed their eating, as they were ready to act at any moment.
And subsequently, they indeed saw that this group of people truly deserved their fate.
As soon as this group of Marines entered, everyone, both waiters and diners, trembled in fear, their eyes filled with terror.
