When Luna took out the alloy material, Shiro was first stunned, then immediately overjoyed.
She then immediately asked Luna why she possessed such a metal material, which was top-tier even in the Ultraman World.
Luna immediately explained, making both people present understand, especially Deya, who also understood why Shiro had been so excited earlier; it really was such an amazing material.
Intelligent and incredibly clever, Deya quickly realized that using this material, whether for weapons or vehicles, would result in outstanding and excellent creations, like adding wings to a tiger.
But then, when Luna said there were at least twenty thousand tons of such material, both Shiro and Deya were instantly shocked speechless, almost falling to the ground.
It took Luna calling their names several times to wake them up. But at the same time, Luna immediately stated her intention: that at least three-fifths of these twenty thousand tons of top-tier material would be used to build a pirate ship truly belonging to their Pink Hat Pirates.
It would be a top-tier amphibious steel battleship, also serving as a super luxurious cruise ship where all The Girls could live peacefully, happily, and harmoniously.
Simply put, the front part would be entrusted to Shiro, who excels at building various weapons, mastering various technologies, and creating various systems.
She is a top Scientist from the Ultraman World, especially skilled in mechanical aspects, because in the Ultraman World, there are far too many battleships constantly engaging in interstellar warfare.
The exterior would basically be her responsibility. As for the internal structure, suitable for The Girls to live in peace and harmony, experiencing boundless joy every day, that would be entrusted to Deya, a Shipwright.
Because this was what she was best at, she needed both of them to immediately create design blueprints for these two aspects.
After understanding Luna's intentions, both of them immediately showed confident smiles, stating that they would definitely complete the task.
After all, this was their strong suit, wasn't it?
After accepting this task, the two immediately began to work on it.
But at the same time, Luna also mentioned the time training house and Galactron genetic modification technology.
After understanding, the two also learned the size of the time training house and immediately promised to reserve space for it within the new ship's interior.
But at the same time, the clever Deya also proposed an idea regarding the Galactron genetic modification technology: they should find a large number of young women who could be useful to them.
Since there were Human Traffickers in this sea area, they could start with them. Perhaps among the people they had captured, there would be some who met their requirements.
Upon hearing this suggestion, Luna's heart immediately brightened, and she promptly adopted it, deciding that during the upcoming journey to Water Seven, they would pay special attention to those hateful Human Traffickers.
(Human Traffickers:..., let me say thank you, because of you, the four seasons are warm.)
With nothing else to do, Luna occasionally came out to direct The Girls.
But in practical situations, she spent more time on cultivation... The Pink Hat continued to sail, and by 1 PM, their harvest was also very good, having eliminated two large Pirate Crews and a Navy patrol ship.
Their total wealth, not counting gold, had reached 550 million Berries, and other supplies were also very abundant.
After having dinner at noon, as no sandbags appeared for a long time, The Girls also rested for a bit.
But after 1 PM, approximately ten minutes later, finally, another target appeared before them.
Although she was a sniper, Shino Asada, acting as the lookout, was the first to spot the target from the crow's nest.
"Captain, at eleven o'clock, about 1100 meters away, a ship has appeared, and judging by its flag, it seems to be Human Traffickers," Shino Asada reported while using her 8x scope to watch the distant ship.
"Oh, have they finally arrived? Deya, Carmen, go practice a bit. Kill them all, except for the people they've captured," Luna, who had been comfortably sunbathing on a lounge chair, said with a hint of interest upon hearing this, but not enough to make her act personally.
"Yes, Captain."
"Understood."
Carmen and Deya stepped forward with smiles. Carmen immediately transformed into a phoenix, and Deya stood on her back, which was not burning with flames. Carmen flapped her wings, letting out a phoenix cry, and carried Deya towards the distant Human Traffickers' ship.
Meanwhile, on the Human Traffickers' ship.
They had naturally noticed the Pink Hat Pirates' pirate ship approaching earlier.
"Boss, a pirate ship has appeared at our two o'clock," one of the Human Traffickers standing in the crow's nest, looking through binoculars, immediately said.
"Check, which Pirate Crew is it?" The Human Trafficker Boss below thought for a moment and then shouted.
"Alright." Twisting the binoculars in his hand, the Human Trafficker in the crow's nest began to look carefully, but the next moment, he was startled.
Sweat poured down his forehead and back, he was utterly dumbfounded, his eyes filled with fear. He couldn't even hold onto the binoculars, which accidentally fell, hitting the deck with a loud thud.
"Hmm, what's wrong? What did you see that made you so scared?" Seeing his usually calm and collected subordinate so flustered, the Human Trafficker Boss seemed to realize something was wrong and immediately asked.
"No, it's bad, Boss! It's the Pink Hat Pirates! The ship opposite is the Pink Hat Pirates' pirate ship!" The Human Trafficker, quickly recovering, shouted, his eyes filled with fear, as if he had just seen a devil descend.
"You, you... what did you say, Pink Hat Pirates?!" But upon hearing this, let alone the other Human Traffickers below, even the Human Trafficker Boss was startled, cold sweat pouring down his body, his eyes filled with horror and fear.
Nonsense, in this first half of the Grand Line paradise, or even across the entire sea, who doesn't know the fame and reputation of the Pink Hat Pirates?
In the eyes of many, these were not just a group of young, beautiful girls; they were clearly female devils carrying a ship.
From the East Blue to before Skypiea, the Pink Hat Pirates indiscriminately attacked any ship they encountered, regardless of identity—pirate, marine, bandit, or Human Traffickers.
This had long terrified many people active in the first half of the Grand Line paradise. And putting aside their actions, just the strength of the Pink Hat Pirates had already left a perception, or rather a legend, in the hearts of this large group of people.
In terms of overall strength, only a Four Emperor Crew or stronger could suppress them. In terms of individual strength, the power and abilities Luna had already displayed made many powerhouses from major forces extremely wary. The Navy now did not actively provoke Luna, only secretly investigating a series of relevant intelligence, and useful intelligence was the best proof.
And it was precisely these actions, combined with their strength, that had long made these people both wary and extremely afraid of the Pink Hat Pirates.
This included the Human Trafficker Boss, not to mention that he had no backing. He was just an amateur in this industry, unlike some who were backed by Doflamingo, or directly by high-ranking Celestial Dragons officials, or some kingdom nobles.
It can be said that in the Pirate World, Human Traffickers are definitely one of the most lucrative and also one of the darkest professions.
But in Luna's eyes, they were also her sweet treats and sandbags.
"Quick... quick, get out of here."
But at this moment, the Human Trafficker Boss didn't think that way; he just wanted to leave quickly.
He didn't want to die yet, and he still had many top-grade slaves in the ship's hold. As long as he completed this transaction, he would be able to enjoy a considerable period of wealth and luxurious living.
But unfortunately, it was too late.
The Human Trafficker in the crow's nest had no idea that Carmen and Deya had already appeared directly above them. After Carmen flew for a while, Deya used her teleportation ability to bring them above these people.
Carmen immediately transformed into a phoenix-human, holding a frying pan, flapping the phoenix wings on her back, and flew down like an arrow from a bowstring. She directly used the frying pan to knock the Human Trafficker in the crow's nest flying. He lost teeth, vomited blood, fell unconscious, and dropped into the sea.
Deya once again used teleportation to arrive on the deck, conjuring spatial energy blades in her hands. With a graceful spinning slash, she killed a large group of Human Traffickers, including the Human Trafficker Boss.
Carmen breathed fire, a fierce burst of flames incinerating a large number of Human Traffickers. These guys didn't even have time to scream before they were burned to ashes.
Many flammable parts of the ship caught fire, and flames erupted, with burning black smoke rising straight into the sky.
The outside was quickly left to Carmen, while Deya went directly below.
She walked down the stairs and into the ship's cabin.
Clearly, she and Carmen had already discussed it: after boarding the ship, Carmen would be responsible for dealing with the Human Traffickers outside and burning the entire ship.
She would deal with some Human Traffickers inside the cabin and rescue the captured slaves.
After Deya went down, she indeed encountered a few Human Traffickers who wanted to fight to the death but were very overconfident. Deya, with a disdainful expression, easily dealt with them.
At the same time, observing her surroundings, Deya quickly found the room where the slaves were held. She kicked open the door and indeed found a huge iron cage room. Inside the iron cage were seven young women, appearing even much younger than her, probably around 15 to 17 years old.
Deya's eyes immediately lit up. What they wanted hadn't just arrived, and so quickly too!
