However, just as Luna said herself, in the morning's battle, whenever Akainu used a long-range attack, Luna used the Energy Shield and Gliza Absorption skills. These skills were not only for defense but also pure absorption abilities.
It's like the Void consuming everything, the same principle.
But precisely because she absorbed too much Magma in the morning, she now possesses the ability to control Magma.
In the Ultraman World, Gliza gains skills and abilities by devouring other creatures.
However, her Gliza power is not that of a true monster but a gliza template.
It's merely a resemblance, not a true transformation; otherwise, every time Luna used it, she would undoubtedly emit Gliza's standard sound and grotesque gait.
The absorption and replication here have also been modified. Luna absorbed Akainu's Magma, thus gaining the ability to control Magma.
Luna still possesses Gliza's original replication and absorption abilities. She can truly swallow a character or creature from the Pirate World into her stomach—more accurately, into the Void digestion space within her body—slowly digest them, and then acquire their abilities and skills.
But there's an added ability: as long as enough energy is absorbed, she can also master that ability.
However, this is a new ability brought by the gliza template, not an original one. Therefore, Luna only replicated Akainu's Magma ability, not Akainu's Magma-Magma Fruit development techniques.
Nevertheless, this is not difficult for Luna, a beautiful young woman from the 21st century in her previous life with a super imagination. Developing some techniques for this is child's play.
All in all, Luna also gained considerable benefits from this battle.
Next, she plans to go out and diligently train her Haki, Gliza abilities, and the development of her Magma abilities.
Before that, however, she had one more thing to do. She took out her transponder snail and immediately dialed the hotline number of the World Economic News Agency. After all, she didn't have Morgans' private number, so this was her only option.
But anyway, the intention and the practicality were the same.
"Hello, this is the World Economic News Agency. How may I help you?" said the person on the other end of the phone.
It was an employee, or rather, a switchboard operator, of Morgans' World Economic News Agency, on a hot-air balloon ship pulled by birds, flying above the dark night clouds. He spoke very politely from the other end.
This could be considered professional conduct.
"I will immediately send a video recording of what happened this morning. After you've seen it, you can decide what to do," Luna said immediately.
Luna said with a smile, speaking such a simple sentence, and then hung up the transponder snail.
Soon, after some operations, the video recording Luna had long obtained from Shiro was sent over... Meanwhile, Luna's mysterious operation immediately confused the operator.
It wasn't until he quickly received the video recording that he reacted.
"Tch, it's probably just some meaningless short video again," he said with a hint of disdain and contempt as he prepared to watch it. They had seen too many such uninteresting videos and small reports that brought no profit to their news agency.
These hotline callers always had a mysterious self-confidence.
But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore, especially as he watched further into the video and more time passed. During this period, the operator's facial expression changed from initial disdain and contempt to stunned disbelief, and finally to utter terror.
After he came to his senses, he immediately, in a panic, carefully took the extremely precious video recording and personally ran to find their president... Morgans, one of the six emperors of the Pirate World's dark underworld, president of the World Economic News Agency. His title is "Big News."
He is a user of the Zoan type, Albatross form of the Bird-Bird Fruit, who can transform into an albatross or an albatross-human. He has the ability to communicate with birds and control some ordinary birds, which is why he established such a large news agency and intelligence network.
And if such a person had a dream, it would be to spread all the major events happening on this vast sea, to let everyone know, because in his eyes, such things should not be concealed, but should shock everyone and be known by all.
If Morgans were in Luna's previous world or some other worlds, he would definitely be an outstanding broadcaster.
And it was this birdman who soon saw the video recording sent by the previous operator.
After watching it, Morgans' face immediately lit up with a wide smile.
"Hahahaha, big news, this is definitely big news!"
"Both a Marine Staff Officer and an Admiral were defeated. Is there really such a terrifying Devil Fruit in this world?"
"The Pink Hat Pirates are definitely the most attractive and powerful Pirate Crew today."
"And the Marines even knelt down like dogs, hahahaha, this sea is about to become lively again because of me."
After speaking, Morgans was incredibly excited and immediately began writing the news report that was destined to shake the sea tomorrow.
He personally attached great importance to this report, not even relying on his subordinates, but writing it himself.
Because he wanted to express all his excitement, thrill, and the good ideas he had already conceived within it.
After some time, he finally finished writing.
He immediately personally ran to the printing room, urging his subordinates to print quickly. At the same time, he said,
"Faster, faster, faster!"
"All of you, get moving! I want this report to spread worldwide!"
"By tomorrow morning, the Revolutionary Army, the Four Emperors, the Shichibukai, and even both the Marines and the Pink Hat Pirates will see this report."
...Time flew by, and soon it was the morning of a new day.
However, something else happened last night that left Morgans stunned: the Marines sent people yesterday to deliver some new wanted posters, hoping he would immediately print and spread them across the sea.
But after the Marines left, to Morgans' shock, these were actually wanted posters for the Pink Hat Pirates: increased bounties for existing members and first-time bounties for new members.
After a twitch of his mouth, Morgans directly instructed his subordinates to print these wanted posters and send them out along with the already printed report.
Tens of millions of News Coo immediately spread these two new pieces of news across the sea.
Especially the Pink Hat Pirates, who received special attention, got the newspapers and their wanted posters earlier than many others... The eight members of the Pink Hat Pirates, having just finished breakfast, were enjoying the morning sun and sea breeze.
However, when a News Coo passed by, Luna smiled and personally paid for a newspaper, also taking the wanted posters.
Because after calculating the time, she knew very well that this time, both the newspaper and the wanted posters were about them.
"In the Reverse Mountain Area, the Pink Hat Pirates once again thrashed the Marines, including the current Admiral Akainu and Staff Officer Tsuru!"
"Luna of the Pink Hat Pirates, Mythical Zoan Model: Void Demon God Gliza Hito Hito no Mi user, immune to all attacks!"
"Luna of the Pink Hat Pirates easily defeats Admiral Akainu!"
"Marines defeated, humiliatingly knelt and barked like dogs, shouting 'Marines are dog scum'!" After reading it, Luna had to admit that Morgans was truly good at creating headlines. But no matter what, after reading the subsequent report, she was very satisfied. Everything that happened yesterday was written in the newspaper.
It was simple and clear, letting everyone know exactly what had happened.
She was looking forward to the changes on the sea, but what pleased her even more were their wanted posters.
Whether it was Deya's first bounty or the significantly increased new bounty amounts for her other companions, including herself.
First, let's talk about Deya's wanted poster. Perhaps due to the Space Ability she displayed, the Marines still attached great importance to it. Of course, it's unknown whether Staff Officer Tsuru, who was previously tricked by Deya, deliberately inflated the bounty.
"Shipwright,'Space Spirit Fox Deya,' bounty 200,000,000 Berries."
"Sister Deya is truly amazing," Kaya said with a shocked expression.
"A first bounty of 200 million shows the Marines' regard for you," Kuina said, looking at Deya.
"A 200 million Berry bounty, I like it," Deya said with a playful and beautiful smile.
The next wanted posters were for the second bounties of the other members of the Pink Hat Pirates.
"Chef, 'Phoenix Chef Carmen,' bounty 163,000,000 Berries."
"Doctor, 'Angel Kaya,' bounty 156,000,000 Berries."
"Navigator,'Snow Woman Nojiko,' bounty 157,000,000 Berries."
When the wanted posters of the original three girls of the East Blue were revealed, everyone was stunned.
"No, how did you surpass us?"
"Yeah, yeah."
Nojiko and Kaya said with dumbfounded expressions, seemingly in disbelief.
"It might be because Carmen and Deya fought that old woman together," Shiro immediately said.
The Girls suddenly realized. Ah, that could only be the reason.
Carmen's outstanding performance earned her many points, while Nojiko and Kaya did not participate in the battle and performed rather ordinarily. The three, who should have been at the same level, naturally saw Carmen overtake the other two.
"Hahahaha, this is fantastic!" Carmen immediately burst into laughter.
Much of her previous resentment had diminished. After all, she had surpassed them.
