When Lan Luo threw the World's Greatest black blade to Kuina, Kuina couldn't believe Lan Luo had actually done it.
She wasn't being coy; she immediately drew the sword from its sheath, and intense heat instantly emanated from the blade, making the airship difficult to control.
If it weren't for the sheath suppressing the blade's power, the airship wouldn't have lasted long.
Lan Luo rolled his eyes at Kuina; after getting the Phoenix and Mera Mera no Mi, the girl had become overconfident, now feeling like she was the Worlds Greatest Swordsman.
"Your swordsmanship is still far from perfect. Practice hard, and when you have time, you can go find Hawkeye." The current Kuina is essentially immortal; her recovery ability and stamina are practically limitless, and the slashes from her sword require little to no power to unleash.
"Brother Lan Luo, aren't you going to forge a sword for yourself?" Nami, the thoughtful little darling, also stepped forward and asked.
"I want to get the Momo Fruit before forging a sword, and while I'm at it, I can also make a sniper rifle." After Lan Luo obtained the Target-Target Fruit, he had already created his infrared scope, but the gun barrel still lacked the Momo Fruit's ability.
"I want a weapon too," Nami said, stepping forward and wrapping her arm around Lan Luo's, pressing herself against him.
"Lan Luo, I also want a new spiked club." Seeing Kuina's sword, Yamato also wanted a better weapon.
"All of them will take some time. This time, I used all the gems on my person for that sword. If I want to forge more, I'll need new gems." Lan Luo thought about forging weapons for everyone, and Chopper and Vegapunk could create a Daji clone for them.
Speaking of weapons, he thought of Mikita and Perona, who usually carried umbrellas into battle. Lan Luo was speechless; Nami and Yamato were much more normal.
Recently, after Chopper and Vegapunk gained the Phoenix's ability, they had been continuously researching and improving the life potion Lan Luo mentioned. Although they thought it was good, Lan Luo still felt that it needed the blood of a Phoenix from the wizarding world to be truly perfect.
Robin stepped forward and said, "Lan Luo, I've already visited the Sea Forest you mentioned. Are we going to pick up Shirahoshi next? You've been forging swords for several days now." She didn't know why, but seeing Nami's actions, she instinctively wanted to interrupt their conversation.
"Alright then, let's set off to pick up our crewmate!" Lan Luo also shouted.
Soon after, Lan Luo and his group landed their airship directly above Ryugu Palace. Not long after, Neptune appeared beside the airship with his three princes and Shirahoshi.
Lan Luo and the others also disembarked to greet Shirahoshi. When he saw Neptune's red, teary eyes and red nose, he said, "Your Majesty, if you have time, you can use the ring's ability to travel with Shirahoshi on the airship anytime."
"I'm just a little sad." After saying that, Neptune turned his head away, wiping his tears, not wanting his daughter to see him cry. This was his greatest stubbornness as an old father.
After he finished speaking, he beckoned with his hand to the back, and the palace guards carried treasure chests of various sizes. It was clear that these were treasures for Lan Luo and his group.
"These treasures are for you. Thank you for taking care of Shirahoshi." After saying that, he bowed his head.
Nami then stepped forward, and with a wave of her hand, all the treasure chests were absorbed into her ring: "Don't worry, King Neptune, we will take good care of Shirahoshi."
Lan Luo then asked, "Have you considered whether you want some of the Fishmen to live in my territory?"
"We discussed it for a long time and decided to let some of our people live on Sky Island first," Neptune said cautiously.
"Then I'll leave Daji here. Once you've made arrangements, you can have her help you with teleportation," Lan Luo said, gesturing to the tall figure beside him.
"Thank you, Sir Lan Luo," Neptune said, genuinely grateful.
Lan Luo simply waved his hand, indicating he didn't mind, then returned to the airship with his crew.
Shirahoshi, seeing the airship for the first time, was very curious. She had lived in Ryugu Palace since childhood and rarely left, especially after encountering Vander Decken IX, she dared not leave the palace at all.
Robin then took on the role of a caring older sister, using the Float-Float Fruit's ability to fly to Shirahoshi's height and say, "Well, little Shirahoshi, aren't you surprised by the sights here?"
"Yes, I am. Shirahoshi has never seen such a magnificent sight," Shirahoshi said with a cute appearance, some cautious movements, and a gentle tone that made people feel pity for her.
Everyone who heard this burst out laughing. The very familiar Yamato also spoke up: "Right? Right? When I was first'snatched' onto the ship, I felt the same way!"
Hearing Yamato's words, Shirahoshi also thought that she might also be considered to have been'snatched' onto the ship. She couldn't help but think of her father and brothers, and tears welled up again.
Lan Luo stepped forward, pulling out a succubus potion and comforting her: "Alright, don't cry. Don't you want to have the power to protect Fish-Man Island? Drink this potion, and you'll become stronger."
Shirahoshi looked at the small test tube of potion and carefully took it, holding it with two fingers and pouring it into her mouth.
Soon after drinking it, Shirahoshi felt an endless power continuously surging from her body to her entire being, and then to her fish tail. Slowly, Shirahoshi's fish tail could be controlled to transform into legs. Not only that, having gained the Succubus ability, she could now control the size changes of her body. After all, a Succubus uses her beauty and magic to bewitch the opposite sex, and if she were too large, she wouldn't be able to use her abilities at all.
Seeing her height, which was similar to theirs, and her perfectly rounded, fair, and well-proportioned thighs, along with her delicate and lovely demeanor, truly made her irresistible.
Originally, Shirahoshi's voice was very charming, but after she drank the succubus potion, her voice evolved even further, like a Siren, possessing the ability to mesmerize anyone who heard it.
Just then, two arms grew from beside Lan Luo's ears, covering his eyes, and then Robin's voice came: "Captain, that's rude. Shirahoshi just transformed and doesn't have pants yet."
"I didn't do it on purpose. This is my first time seeing a mermaid transform into a human; I was just curious," Lan Luo said, shrugging his shoulders.
Everyone who heard this also chuckled. It seemed that everyone except Lan Luo could look. Vegapunk was still in the laboratory researching, and Chopper was just a small pet in their hearts.
Nami then huffily went over, took Shirahoshi's hand, and walked straight to her room, saying halfway, "Brother Lan Luo, you did that on purpose!"
Hearing Nami's words, Shirahoshi lowered her head in embarrassment, her face flushed crimson.
"If you keep teasing Shirahoshi like this, do you believe she won't dare to attend the banquet with everyone tonight?" Lan Luo teased them.
Perona then floated into the air, hands on her hips, and said, "Captain Lan Luo, you're truly awful."
Mikita then said, "I was forced onto the ship, and so was Perona. Later it was Yamato, and then Shirahoshi."
"Oh, me too!" Robin then spoke up.
Hearing this, Lan Luo's face darkened as he said, "Look at yourselves now, then think about yourselves before. One was a pirate hunter, who might have died at the hands of a strong enemy at any time. One was following a Captain without Haki power, waiting to be annihilated together. And another treated her father like an enemy, potentially being killed by her own father one day."
With each word Lan Luo spoke, the women's foreheads darkened a bit more. Robin was the first to attack Lan Luo; she didn't want Lan Luo talking about her like that. Then the other women followed suit and joined in.
