"Yes, Mr. Garp." Bogard nodded in agreement and immediately went to make arrangements.
Garp's warship continued towards its destination, Shells Town, late at night.
Many people on the warship had fallen asleep in the dead of night, including Garp and Bogard. After all, with their Observation Haki mastery, any slight disturbance or danger would immediately wake them.
Bogard arranged night shifts for the Marine Soldiers to maintain the warship's navigation, patrol, and so on throughout the night.
This is also why Garp's warship can still sail at sea now. But honestly, whether in Lu Yue's previous life or in the Pirate World, anyone who can sail at sea can basically make such arrangements.
Even though the ocean is more dangerous at night... Meanwhile, in the town of Whiskey Peak, the Straw Hat Pirates' adventure had reached this point.
Luffy and Zoro were having a close-quarters battle, exchanging blows.
In short, it was a misunderstanding, and they would soon depart with Vivi. They would also meet Robin during the day.
If Lu Yue knew, she would suddenly realize that the current specific time had already reached the Alabasta arc...
Time quickly arrived at a new morning.
"My Lady, this is your iced milk with honey."
On the fishing boat, the captured pirates were now serving Lu Yue and Kuina like true servants.
To be precise, it should be that chef pirate.
As for the other pirates, they were at their respective posts.
"Mm, you may go now." Lu Yue showed him a slight smile.
The pirate, having received a precise order, quickly departed.
After all, he did not want to stay a moment longer in front of these two beauties, who were as beautiful as peacocks but as fierce as eagles in battle.
"Are we that scary?" Kuina asked with a puzzled smile, thinking she wasn't ugly. She was definitely a beauty on the high seas.
"On this sea, strength is paramount," Lu Yue said, lowering her head, then took a sip of milk. Mmm, it was still as smooth and icy sweet. She just liked iced milk with honey.
"By the way, Captain, when will your so-called partner arrive?" Kuina asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"This... should be soon, right?" Lu Yue glanced at the clock placed nearby.
She saw that it was already past seven-twenty. According to the request she had made to the system earlier, she should be arriving soon.
"My Ladies, there's a raft drifting towards us from the southeast, and there are people on it."
A pirate quickly ran in. Lu Yue and Kuina both recognized him; he was one of the two combatants.
"Your friend?" Kuina asked Lu Yue.
"We'll know if we go out and look, but calculating the time, it should be her." Lu Yue placed the glass of iced milk on the table, waved her hand, then immediately stood up and walked out.
Kuina followed closely, and then came the combatant.
They quickly arrived on deck, and then, apart from the chef pirate, all the other captured pirates were there.
"My Ladies." They all bowed to Kuina and Lu Yue, but what was revealed in their eyes was mostly fear.
Lu Yue didn't care about this. She immediately went to the side of the boat, or more precisely, looked in the direction the combatant pirate had mentioned earlier.
Kuina followed.
And sure enough, they saw a raft sailing towards them.
Lu Yue pulled out her telescope and immediately saw Galactron MK2 Musume on the raft.
"Yes, that's right, it's my friend, haha, she's here!" Lu Yue smiled and laughed aloud. At the same time, she also saw the virtual panel of this Monster Girls partner through the system.
[Name: Platinum Longlong]
[Age: 22 years old]
[Gender: Female]
[Occupation: Scientist]
[Strength: Vice Admiral Candidate]
[Weapon: galactron axe]
[Abilities: Monster Weapon System, Monster Ability Skills.]
Galactron MK2 Musume, Lu Yue felt it was a bit awkward to call her that directly. It didn't sound like a name, but rather a code name, lacking a sense of team integration.
So Lu Yue had specifically discussed it with the system last night and changed the name to the current Platinum Longlong.
Since she was originally gold and white, starting with 'Bai' (white) was also good, but 'Platinum' sounds better than 'Gold White', and it's more catchy.
Moreover, Galactron MK2 itself is a dragon-humanoid mechanical monster, but since she's a girl, using 'Long' from 'Jiaoxiao Linglong' (petite and exquisite) as the last two characters of her name would be perfect.
So she was called Platinum Longlong.
However, her age was actually one year older than Kuina, and five years older than her, which she hadn't expected before. But thinking about the Straw Hat Pirates of the future with even larger age gaps, she was already doing well, so she didn't think too much about it.
Moreover, the age gap in the Straw Hat Pirates was mainly widened by Brook, who had lived for over 90 years.
Luffy and Chopper were the youngest, only 19 and 17 years old.
This is calculated two years later, as the Straw Hat Pirates crew would be most complete two years later, because Jinbe would have joined by then.
As for why her profession was Scientist, Lu Yue had already understood.
Through the system's introduction, Platinum Longlong had a vast amount of scientific knowledge and invention knowledge from the Ultraman World in her mind. Here, on the Pirate Crew she was about to form, becoming a Scientist was perfectly suitable.
It's important to know that on a Pirate Crew, a Scientist is not the most important profession.
However, their importance cannot be underestimated. Their existence can bring many advantages and opportunities to a Pirate Crew.
Firstly, a Scientist's professional knowledge and skills can provide technical support for the Pirate Crew's weapon development, ship improvements, and other aspects. They can invent more powerful weapons and equipment, enhance the overall strength of the Pirate Crew, and give them a greater advantage in battle.
Secondly, a Scientist's wisdom and creativity can help the Pirate Crew solve various problems. They can apply scientific knowledge to deal with harsh marine environments, explore unknown territories, and provide scientific basis for the Pirate Crew's strategic decisions.
In addition, Scientists may also possess some key intelligence or secret technologies, which are crucial for the Pirate Crew's development and status. Their research results might even change the entire landscape of the Pirate World.
However, Scientists can also bring some risks. Their inventions might be exploited by hostile forces, or they themselves might become targets of other forces. Therefore, the Pirate Crew needs to find a balance between protecting the Scientists' safety and utilizing their talents.
In summary, Scientists hold an important position in a Pirate Crew, and their contributions can have a huge impact on the success and development of the Pirate Crew.
And Platinum Longlong, who could be said to be a Scientist from the Ultraman World, possessed scientific technology that was far superior to both her previous life and the current Pirate World.
It could be said that the latter two were just small stars, but the former was a sea of stars.
With such a Scientist who could both fight and help Lu Yue conduct scientific research, inventions, and creations, bringing immense benefits, she was now like a tiger with wings!
"So that's the new partner." Kuina, of course, also saw Platinum Longlong on the raft at this time, and spoke with curiosity in her voice.
Especially since she had already seen her appearance, she was definitely a great beauty.
It's just that her attire, why was it so strange? Was that armor?
All the pirates also looked over. Although they were still very scared, they were now more curious. To be invited by these two ladies to become a partner, her strength must not be low.
"Lu Yue, I'm here." Platinum Longlong, who had long been instilled with relevant memories, immediately waved her hand and greeted them with a confident smile on her face as the raft approached the fishing boat.
"Haha, welcome, it's been a while, old friend."
Lu Yue laughed. She was the one who put on the act, so she naturally knew how to play her role.
"Come on up," Lu Yue continued.
"Okay." Platinum Longlong smiled, leaped, and jumped onto the deck.
"Haha, welcome! Kuina, this is one of my old friends, the one I said I would invite last night. I still have a few other friends whom I will also invite later."
"This is Platinum Longlong. She is a Scientist, especially skilled in mechanics, with some involvement in other areas. What she's wearing now is her self-developed Magic White Dragon Armor, also called the Galactron MK2 Armor. This set of armor she developed herself has given her very strong combat power."
"Platinum Longlong, this is the swordsman I newly invited, named Kuina. She has strong talent and conviction, and is now my second-in-command, also known as the first mate."
Lu Yue said a lot, one after another. She believed that in the future, she would also obtain summon cards to summon summoned partners from other worlds.
So, this was considered giving Kuina a heads-up.
Making her believe that she had made a lot of good friends in the past.
Soon, she introduced the two to each other.
Especially letting Kuina know what was going on with the armor on Platinum Longlong that had made her feel puzzled.
"Hello."
"Hello."
The two also greeted each other. Kuina was naturally friendly, and Platinum Longlong was the same, after all, anything from the system must be a masterpiece.
And so, Lu Yue's not-yet-fully-established Pirate Crew welcomed its second member.
Platinum Longlong, serving as the Scientist on her ship.
At the same time, with just the initial trio, all of them had already reached at least Vice Admiral Candidate strength.
Being this powerful from the very beginning is something else, but then again, Lu Yue is a transmigrator, right? A cheat, just sayin'.
