"Space Teleportation." Deya, using the space gem again, activated the energy of space and utilized the ability of Space Teleportation, bringing everyone onto the deck of the Navy Warships.
The Girls immediately struck a fighting pose once more. Kuina pulled out the demon blade thousand blades and pointed her sword toward the Marines.
Shiro also took out her axe, pointing it at the Marines, while simultaneously aiming a finger beam at the Marines with her other hand; however, her subtle actions in the dark had not stopped.
Kaya, Carmen, and Nojiko entered Angel Form, Phoenix Human-Beast Form, and Snow Woman Form, respectively.
Shino Asada also released golden-yellow lightning all over her body, grew blue lightning wings on her back, and aimed her sniper rifle at the Marines.
Deya once again pulled out the Space Spear Array, aiming the long spears of spatial energy extending from the spatial fluctuations at the Marines.
The Marines, who were originally incomparably furious, immediately felt apprehension and fear.
The four, including Akainu and Staff Officer Tsuru, were the same, but what they feared most was not these young girls, but Luna in the air, who had also taken a corresponding stance. Luna used Multiple Light Sphere Crush, and several purple light spheres immediately floated next to her, looking full of oppressive power.
Luna looked at their expressions, which had turned from anger to fear, and immediately let out a disdainful snort.
She said: "Unwilling? Fine, then let's keep fighting. I believe the Marines are very willing to sacrifice one Admiral, two Reserve Admirals, plus one Chief Staff Officer, and so many elites on this vast ocean."
Her meaning was very clear: if they refused, they should keep fighting, since the advantage was on their side.
The Marines who heard these words immediately gnashed their teeth, but more than that, they felt apprehension, because they knew very well that they were simply no match for the opponents.
If the fight continued, they might all perish on this vast ocean.
Staff Officer Tsuru and Akainu also had extremely grim expressions. Luna's words made it obvious: which would they choose, life or dignity?
Moreover, if they really died here, it would definitely be a huge loss for the Marines. If two Reserve Admirals, one Admiral, and the exceptional Staff Officer Tsuru all died here, the Marines' strength would certainly be greatly reduced. There were too many forces hostile to the Marines on this vast ocean, and they would absolutely seize the opportunity to cause trouble and exert pressure.
It would not be possible for such severely damaged Marines to recover in a short period of time.
Considering this point, the Marines wavered internally between dignity and life; they had to choose.
But in the next moment, Luna's words seemed to give them a way out, though whether it was true or false, they couldn't know.
"I won't make things difficult for you. What happened here will not be spread. Firstly, there is no recording, and secondly, everyone will keep their mouths shut. How about that?"
Luna said with a hint of a cold smile, while silently retracting two purple light spheres.
Hearing this, the Marines below immediately stirred, including Akainu and the others.
After all, if the news wouldn't spread, what did it matter if they conceded a step here?
"Are you sure you won't spread it? No, are all of you sure you won't spread it?"
Staff Officer Tsuru stepped forward and asked. If no one saw it, that would naturally be best, but she absolutely did not believe this group would be so honest; not one of these young girls was decent.
At least, that's how they saw it.
"If you don't speak, and I don't speak, and everyone stays silent, who will know? Besides, did you see any surveillance transponder snail or anything similar? Furthermore, all eight members of our Pirate Crew can swear an oath." Luna smiled, pretending to be thoughtfully considerate of them.
"I, Luna, Captain of the Pink Hat Pirates, swear not to disclose this matter."
"I, Kuina, first mate and Swordswoman of the Pink Hat Pirates, swear not to disclose this matter."
"I, Shiro, Scientist and third-in-command of the Pink Hat Pirates, swear not to disclose this matter."
"I, Nojiko, Navigator of the Pink Hat Pirates, swear not to disclose this matter."
"I, Kaya, Ship Doctor of the Pink Hat Pirates, swear not to disclose this matter."
"I, Carmen, Chef of the Pink Hat Pirates, swear not to disclose this matter."
"I, Shino Asada, Sniper of the Pink Hat Pirates, swear not to disclose this matter."
"I, Deya, Shipwright of the Pink Hat Pirates, swear not to disclose this matter."
Next, the Marines conducted an investigation and confirmed that there were no surveillance transponder snails or similar devices nearby.
They then threatened Crocus, telling him not to speak of it. As for Laboon, hehe, an Island Whale couldn't even talk, so how could it spread the news?
Taking a deep breath, they still felt humiliation, gritting their teeth. Even Akainu was the same, his face filled with deep resentment and unwillingness. The four of them, along with the remaining Marine Soldiers, all knelt down, lying prone on the deck like dogs.
Finally, the entire group shouted one phrase.
"We Marines are dog scum."
After shouting, many Marines immediately shed tears of humiliation.
The four, including Akainu, bit down until they drew blood, which flowed from their mouths.
"Hahahahaha."
But what greeted them was naturally the endless ridicule from all seven members of the Pink Hat Pirates, plus Crocus, but they could only endure it for now.
"Is that enough?" Staff Officer Tsuru raised her head, gritting her teeth, looking as if she wanted to devour the people in front of her alive.
"Of course. Get up. My word is my bond. You Marines may leave."
Luna laughed, because the system prompt had already sounded in her mind: the second mission was complete, and the reward was secured.
Well, she had had enough fun this time. It was better to show some restraint and let the Marines leave quickly.
Of course, mainly it was 'out of sight, out of mind,' as she didn't want to see the Marines anymore.
After all, she still planned to talk to Crocus and learn a few things.
"We are leaving here." Having received permission, Staff Officer Tsuru no longer wanted to spend another moment in this place.
She immediately stood up, turned her head, and said.
The other Marines naturally followed suit, quickly leaving dejectedly. After all, they were the losers and had committed such a great humiliation.
Watching the warship slowly sailing away from the horizon, Luna and Shiro almost couldn't help but burst out laughing, but they had to hold it in. After all, those Marine powerhouses, even though they were far away now, could probably still hear them.
Soon, when the Marines had completely disappeared, the two couldn't help but laugh, communicating while they did so.
"Hahaha, Long Long, did you film it?"
"Hahaha, of course! The entire process, from every angle, was completely recorded."
It was not difficult to tell from their conversation that they had recorded everything that happened earlier.
"Wait, didn't the Marines already investigate? There were no surveillance transponder snails." Kuina cast a puzzled look.
But thinking of Shiro's identity as a Scientist, coupled with the fact that she had demonstrated her inventions several times in the past few days, all of which were very miraculous and practical, perhaps she had developed some special means of filming and recording?
Kuina immediately had this conjecture and idea, and The Girls basically felt the same way.
They also came up with similar ideas after their initial confusion.
"Hahaha, let me show you my new little invention." Shiro burst into laughter, then snapped her fingers.
A flash of light appeared in several places in the air, and some drone-like objects floated above. Most importantly, everyone saw the cameras specifically used for filming.
"Are these stealth unmanned surveillance or recording robots?"
"It looks that way."
The technology in the worlds of Deya and Shino Asada was also quite advanced, so they quickly guessed the general concept.
"It is exactly as you thought. However, they are equipped with anti-gravity devices, possess the ability to float in the air, are resistant to drops and impacts, waterproof and fireproof, difficult to jam, have automatic evasion capabilities, and even possess stealth capabilities, allowing them to evade pursuit, even Observation Haki." Shiro introduced them proudly, her face beaming with a confident smile.
"Does that mean everything that happened between us and the Marines here earlier was filmed and recorded?" Kaya widened her beautiful eyes and asked with a curious expression.
"Of course, and it was recorded with audio too." Luna laughed. She was very familiar with these drones, as Shiro had already told her about all the features when she developed them yesterday.
"But didn't we promise the Marines we wouldn't send it out?" Carmen was confused, her mind a blur.
However, one thing she understood clearly was that since it had been recorded, given Luna's character and style, she would definitely spread it, based on what she knew. But since they had already been generous to the Marines and even sworn an oath, how could they spread it? What was the point of recording it? Could they watch it every day as a joke later? To pass the boring time, since sailing the sea was sometimes very dull.
"We didn't film it; these little drones filmed it. We just activated them. Besides, since we can't spread it ourselves, we can find someone else to spread it for us! We can find Morgans, the Big News King. With a recording like this, I believe he would be very willing to help us spread it." Luna said shamelessly. The words she spoke were truly a bit brazen, and she had been very clear before: she only said *they* wouldn't spread it, not that *they* couldn't find someone else to spread it.
They were just a group of women; what was wrong with being a little rogue?
All the crewmates pouted speechlessly, then simultaneously gave Luna a thumbs-up. 'You really have a way of thinking.'
"Hahaha, what a truly cunning and interesting Little girl."
Crocus was stunned after hearing this. 'Holy cow, there's an operation like this? The Marines were still played!' He then immediately slapped his thigh and burst into laughter.
Thinking that the humiliation the Marines had just suffered would be known throughout the entire ocean, he truly couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably.
After all, the Marines' reputation could be said to have been completely ruined this time.
