Of course, Carmen held Luna in high esteem for saving her yesterday and bestowing upon her great power and a new life.
Naturally, the other The Girls felt the same. Shiro and Shino Asada were 100% loyal to Luna due to the system.
The other three original Pirate World companions also transformed into strong individuals with growth potential because of Luna. Therefore, the current six companions all held Luna in high regard and were willing to call her Captain.
This was much better than the Straw Hat Pirates, as the Straw Hat Pirates had a rule that the Captain could be beaten up at will, because Luffy was truly asking for it. He was a complete idiot who often angered his crewmates into hitting him, never acting like a true Captain.
So, in the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy was not only a subordinate but even had the potential to become a slave.
Chores and beatings were practically a daily occurrence for him.
But at least Luna wouldn't be like that. The sisters and The Girls on the pirate ship would joke with each other, and even like the Red Hair Pirates, if one person made a fool of herself, the entire Pirate Crew would gloat and mock.
The entire Pirate Crew still revolved around Luna, listening to her every command and suggestion.
"Then I won't be polite."
Luna said with a smile, then sat directly at the dining table and enjoyed her delicious breakfast.
Soon after, the other The Girls arrived one after another. In the middle, Carmen finally finished making all the breakfast. The seven beautiful women sat around a table, happily enjoying their delicious breakfast, and the scene was so warm and joyful.
However, in the middle of it, they discovered a very interesting and important thing: Shiro, after an evening and an afternoon of work, had finally completed the crafting of the storage ring for the three new companions.
While enjoying breakfast, she handed the three rings to the three companions who had joined yesterday.
Kaya received a golden ring, inlaid with a yellow gem.
Then came Shino Asada, with a blue ring, featuring an ice-blue gem.
Finally, Carmen received an orange ring, embedded with a red gem.
After receiving them, the three tried them out, which truly opened their eyes. The rings were so magical, especially when they learned that such powerful storage rings were invented by Shiro. They were as shocked as Kuina had been before.
At the same time, this was also their first glimpse of Shiro's research capabilities.
After this matter was concluded, their breakfast was also quickly finished.
After eating, Kaya stayed behind to help Carmen clear the dishes and wash up.
As for the others, it was getting late, and it was time for them to set off.
The other companions and Luna all came to the deck, hoisted the sails, and pulled up the anchor.
With the waves lapping against it, their pirate ship quickly drifted away from the port and then immediately headed towards the distant direction.
Last night, Nami had already determined the direction, and after confirming that the weather was fine, their pirate ship immediately set off for Loguetown.
Seeing them once again heading towards a new adventure, and the boundless sky and ocean before her, Luna's face showed a sweet and confident smile.
But soon she couldn't smile anymore. Her small nose sniffed, and she noticed a strange odor on the pirate ship. She rubbed the wooden surface of the deck with her shoe and felt that it was very rough, with many visibly dirty spots.
"No, wasn't it just cleaned when we left yesterday?" Luna pouted unhappily.
"Such stains and odors are very common on a pirate ship sailing at sea," Kuina stepped forward and said with a smile.
Having sailed the seas for many years as a Bounty Hunter, she was naturally all too familiar with such conditions on a pirate ship.
"Seriously, everyone, let's clean up. Long Long, you don't need to. See if you can make some chore robots. We're out for travel and adventure; we can't spend too much time on chores and cleaning. It's best if all future chores on the pirate ship are handled by robots."
Luna said somewhat unhappily, but quickly, she proposed a suggestion: to have Shiro create a batch of robots specifically for housework, responsible for the pirate ship's sanitation and chores.
Because, as she said, the companions on the pirate ship should spend more time on their duties and things they enjoy doing. However, the pirate ship was too prone to odors and stains, and a clean, beautiful, and odor-free environment was what a group of The Girls like them should have on a pirate ship.
But they couldn't clean every day, so it was best to have some robots do it. In her previous life, she was a homebody. She liked to rely on robots to clean her home.
And she believed that Shiro would have no problem creating just a few robots.
As for this time, it would be their last time actively cleaning the pirate ship.
"Okay, leave it to me." After Shiro finished speaking, she and the other companions all glanced at Luna. Was giving such an order not because she wanted to be lazy and avoid cleaning?
But thinking about it carefully, they also really didn't want to clean every day, and they couldn't stand the current odor and stains on the pirate ship, so they felt it would indeed be better to build some robots.
Shiro immediately walked into the cabin, returning to her room to build robots.
Seeing her walk in, the companions, including Luna, immediately became curious. They were all somewhat looking forward to what kind of robots Shiro would create.
But no matter what, they wouldn't have to worry about the pirate ship's sanitation or waste time on it anymore. Just thinking about it made them feel good.
Luna also felt good, but she immediately organized The Girls to start cleaning the pirate ship for this last time, because she believed that with just a few robots, Shiro would be able to build them quickly, at least not needing to wait until tomorrow, after all, the difficulty of robots was much easier than storage rings.
Soon, except for Shiro, and including Carmen and Kaya who had finished in the kitchen, everyone began to clean the outside of the pirate ship.
It took a little time, but no one felt tired. After all, everyone was more or less strong, and their physical fitness had already improved, not to mention that many people's physiques in the Pirate World surpassed that of normal people in Luna's previous life.
The outside of the pirate ship was cleaned thoroughly by them, without any strange smell or stains, because they brought special deodorizers, air fresheners, and powerful cleaning agents, which were kept in the pirate ship's storage room for daily cleaning, but in the future, they would be for the robots to use.
But no matter what, they spent some effort and time on this last, voluntary cleaning.
Luna wiped a few drops of sweat that had already seeped from her skin on her forehead.
The time spent at sea in the Pirate World was basically like summer all year round, and the weather would be very hot, even she found it a bit unbearable.
She was too much of a homebody in her previous life, afraid of heat and sunlight, but now that she had become so strong, she had to adapt immediately, after all, how could there be a Pirate Crew Captain who couldn't adapt to the weather at sea? She was going to push Imu down and become the Queen of this World.
"Caw caw caw caw —" But suddenly, she heard the cry of a bird from the sky, a sound Luna was all too familiar with, as were some of the other native companions from the Pirate World on the pirate ship.
But everyone still looked up at the sky and indeed spotted a Newspaper Seagull from the World Economic News Agency, under Morgans, specifically for delivering newspapers, and Morgans would even help the Marines distribute wanted posters.
At this moment, the Newspaper Seagull flying above also saw the pirate ship below and immediately dropped a stack of wanted posters from its bag. Wanted posters didn't require payment, only newspapers did.
Luna floated up directly, reaching out in the air to catch the stack of wanted posters.
After a quick glance, she slightly curled her lips, then immediately couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, everyone, come and take a look, our wanted posters are here!" Luna said very loudly, as she needed to call Shiro out of the cabin as well.
"Oh." Hearing this, all the companions excitedly widened their eyes and gathered around, including Shiro, who slowly walked out of the cabin.
And the topmost one, the first one, was Carmen's wanted poster.
"No way, I only joined less than a day ago, and I already have a wanted poster?"
Carmen said with a very shocked expression. She had originally thought that for their Pirate Crew's first bounty, her name wouldn't be on the wanted poster, as she hadn't participated in Luna's previous battles with the Marines.
Plus, she had only joined last night, so there shouldn't be a wanted poster for her this time, but she didn't expect there to be one, which made her feel very shocked.
"It's estimated that there were still a few stragglers hiding in the town last night. Your Phoenix Fruit is extraordinary; it was once a legendary Devil Fruit renowned throughout these seas. Your appearance last night, especially transforming into a Phoenix, was seen by everyone in the entire town. So, it's only natural that you have a wanted poster." Luna immediately figured out why this was the case.
So she immediately spoke out, especially the bounty amount, which was enough to show the Marines'Pay attention to of Carmen and the Phoenix Fruit.
"Chef, 'Phoenix Chef Carmen,' Bounty 68 million Berries." Shiro, standing beside her, read it out directly.
Such a bounty was already very high, considering it was their first bounty and they were from the East Blue. It surpassed Luffy, who had broken the record in the East Blue last time.
Especially for Carmen, who was the latest to join the Pink Hat Pirates, less than a day ago, and had no dazzling combat performance, to have such a bounty amount was indeed very good.
However, the other The Girls would naturally have even higher bounties than her.
