"The Straw Hat Pirates?"
"Zoro."
"Usopp."
"Sanji."
"Nami."
After Asada Shino finished speaking, all the crew members, including her, and their companions from other worlds, all looked at her with curious eyes.
Through Luna's previous descriptions and their interactions with the native companions on their ship, it was false to say that these companions from other worlds had no interest in the Straw Hat Pirates.
Of course, the four native companions, Kuina and the others, were very excited; they could finally meet them.
"Hmm? Wait, there's another Pirate Crew," Kuina was the first to react, frowning as she looked at Asada Shino standing on the crow's nest and asked.
"Indeed, and they don't look like good people," Asada Shino saw the Blackbeard Pirates through hécate's 8x scope. She saw Van Auger and Lafitte, whom she had met yesterday, as well as the other members of the Blackbeard Pirates, including the ugly Blackbeard Teach in her eyes.
Yesterday, she already felt that Van Auger and his group were not good people, and she didn't expect this group to be pirates. There were five of them in total, and they really didn't look like good guys. Anyway, Asada Shino had no good feelings for the Blackbeard Pirates now.
Their first impression on her was too poor.
"Don't mind them, the Knock Up Stream is coming soon, everyone pay attention," Luna snorted with a laugh. She knew very well that the temporary raft the Blackbeard Pirates were currently riding would immediately turn into scraps once the Knock Up Stream appeared.
Although these few people would definitely survive in the end, otherwise, there wouldn't be the Four Emperor Blackbeard Pirates later on.
However, here and now, they were nothing more than a clown.
Or perhaps, destiny favored Luffy.
It was a bit of a pity that the whirlpool before the Knock Up Stream appeared seemed to have ended. She had originally wanted to witness that giant whirlpool.
"Yes, Captain." After receiving her command, The Girls immediately got busy, and the pirate ship headed towards the center where the Knock Up Stream was about to generate.
And their sudden appearance naturally caught the attention of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates.
Adding the Pink Hat Pirates, who now had a certain reputation on this vast sea, and the fact that both of these major crews had more or less encountered members of the Pink Hat Pirates yesterday, plus some previous attention.
They all immediately recognized it: "Is this the Pink Hat Pirates' pirate ship?"
Everyone from both factions was startled.
But the reactions from both sides were different. After the shock, Blackbeard's side felt apprehension. Their original plan to immediately row over and capture straw hat Luffy had to be halted.
Luffy and his crew, on the other hand, were first startled, then overjoyed. After all, not to mention the relationship between the crew members of these two major Pirate Crews, the Straw Hat Pirates knew that the Pink Hat Pirates also wanted to go to Skypiea.
At this moment, Luna was also very happy because, in her mind, the system had assigned new tasks, and there were three of them.
"Detecting that the Host has come into contact with a significant historical event in the One Piece World, the following tasks will be assigned to the Host."
"Please successfully ride the Knock Up Stream into Skypiea. Reward: Ten thousand tons of top-tier alloy materials from the Ultraman World, one Conqueror's Haki awakening card."
"Please participate in the battle between the Straw Hat Pirates and Eneru. Reward: Ten thousand tons of top-tier alloy materials from the Ultraman World, Galactron gene modification technology."
"Please take a portion of the gold from Skypiea, at least one ton, and make an imprint of a related Poneglyph from Skypiea. Reward: One arbitrary Devil Fruit, one arbitrary world weapon."
Luna was extremely pleased right now. Not only were these tasks incredibly easy to achieve—they were a piece of cake—but the rewards were also incredibly generous.
First, she was finally going to get her third Conqueror's Haki awakening card, and there were also materials from the Ultraman World, twenty thousand tons of top-tier alloy. Shiro often complained about her technology because without materials from the Ultraman World, she couldn't create many things.
But now it was good, she had the materials. Twenty thousand tons would be enough for Shiro for a long time, and they would also have good materials for their upcoming shipbuilding plan.
Just thinking about building a ship with materials surpassing those of the One Piece World and the Ultraman World made Luna excited. After all, with materials from the Ultraman World, coupled with Shiro, a Scientist from the Ultraman World, and Dia, a top-tier Shipwright.
The combination of the three would make it possible to build a pirate ship that surpassed the pluton warship. This would also be their main ship in the future, a true partner. The one they were on now would eventually have to be abandoned.
After all, such a small ship couldn't carry them. However, like their previous pirate ship, Luna would still give it a good home.
An arbitrary Devil Fruit, needless to say, she would gain another powerful Devil Fruit. As for this so-called arbitrary world weapon, it should be a weapon from the myriad worlds, similar to the previous Demon Blade Thousand Blades, but she would only know what it specifically was after completing the task.
And as for the last so-called Galactron gene modification technology, to be honest, she understood every single word and phrase within it, but when put together, she didn't understand it. She could only quickly ask the system to find out what it was exactly.
This is a special technology from the Ultraman World. Through this technology, young women can be transformed into Monster Girls with Galactron features and powers.
Luna was overjoyed after hearing this. She knew that she not only wanted to travel and adventure in the One Piece World but also wanted to become the queen of this world.
And since Luffy would be able to form a straw hat Grand Fleet in the future, there should be no problem with her forming a Pink Hat Grand Fleet, right? Moreover, the current Yonko, even the future Blackbeard and Buggy, all have many subordinates, referred to as affiliated Pirate Crews, who are dependent on these Four Emperor Crew.
In short, Luna was very satisfied with this reward. She immediately excitedly ordered The Girls to navigate the pirate ship towards the center of the whirlpool. She was already impatient to go up and travel, adventure, and complete the tasks simultaneously.
"Hmm, everyone, look quickly." Carmen's eyes widened, and the other The Girls did the same. Luna also immediately looked over.
"There's a bubbling sound underwater, the seabed evaporation is about to begin. No wonder the so-called whirlpool the Captain mentioned earlier is gone; it seems to have temporarily ended." Nojiko observed and listened for a moment, immediately understanding what had happened.
"That means, the Knock Up Stream..." Kaya said, her eyes wide after hearing her words.
And after she finished speaking, they felt it, and the Straw Hat Pirates also felt it beneath their ship.
They were above the water column that was about to erupt, above the Knock Up Stream, a massive water column soaring into the sky, about to gush forth like a volcanic eruption.
The seawater slowly rose, and Luna and Luffy's Pirate Crews were all pushed to the very top by the Knock Up Stream. The protruding seawater was like a small mountain; they were on the mountaintop, while the Blackbeard Pirates were on the steep slope of the mountain.
Finally, it seemed to reach a critical point, and the water column, soaring skyward, suddenly erupted, pushing the two great pirate ships upwards. In contrast, the Blackbeard Pirates' raft pirate ship, as Luna had said earlier, and as the original plot developed, was directly destroyed by this great force of nature.
The two monkey and ape captains watched them leave. They were the ones who had escorted Luffy and his crew here earlier.
Also seen from the distant island was the Chestnut-Haired Uncle.
But they probably never imagined, especially the two ape and monkey captains who witnessed it firsthand, that besides the Straw Hat Pirates, there was also an additional Pink Hat Pirates that intended to use the Knock Up Stream to ascend.
At this moment, on the towering water column of the Knock Up Stream, the two great pirate ships were moving forward, clinging to the current.
But soon, everyone on both ships noticed something was wrong. On the Straw Hat Pirates' side, it was Sanji, and on the Pink Hat Pirates' side, it was Carmen. They both realized that the ship's hull was starting to float, and if this continued, they would definitely be thrown off.
Once they fell from such a high place, they would surely be shattered to pieces, and the situation would be dire.
Especially since they had all witnessed Sea Kingss falling from above, along with debris and remnants of other ships.
Of course, the Straw Hat Pirates were in trouble, as almost none of their crew could fly. As for the Pink Hat Pirates, whether it was their strength or their flying ability, they were not afraid.
But soon, both major crews took their own countermeasures.
Nami, as a gifted Navigator, directed her companions. Utilizing the huge air currents that appeared with the Knock Up Stream, the upward currents, with the help of their already modified Going Merry.
Finally, although the Going Merry detached from the surface of the Knock Up Stream, it also rode the strong air currents, moving along the surface of the sea.
Continuing to ascend.
On the Pink Hat Pirates' side, Shiro took out a remote control and pressed the switch. Rocket thrusters, installed on both sides of the ship beforehand, spewed out fierce flames. Coupled with the already open sails and wing-like structures also installed on both sides at the very front of the pirate ship to maintain balance.
The Pink Hat Pirates' pirate ship also very smoothly used the power of the airflow and rocket thrusters to continue flying upwards.
They even directly overtook the Straw Hat Pirates, leaving the originally excited and thrilled crew stunned.
Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
"The Pink Hat Pirates? We can't compare to them right now," Nico Robin said, a faint smile on her face as she watched the scene.
"They really are a ship full of beauties," Sanji said, his eyes forming pink hearts. Clearly, he had just seen all eight current members of the Pink Hat Pirates.
But soon, the ninth one would arrive.
"Tch, what a perverted cook," Zoro sneered, muttering a complaint.
But he also looked at the Pink Hat Pirates' ship ahead of them.
His mind was filled with the image of that figure he had just briefly glimpsed.
