But once they reacted, the happiest were the Straw Hat Pirates; they all cheered.
Their going merry was saved, in another special way, a way they could all accept, keeping this special companion with them.
This also meant that when they later burned the going merry, they didn't shed tears, because the going merry's ship spirit had been preserved, and that was the essence and true soul of the entire going merry!
"Thank you, everyone." And at this moment, everyone heard again the voice they had heard before, but this time, the Straw Hat Pirates all knew that this was the voice of their ship spirit, Merry.
Iceberg and the others, under Franky's introduction, learned about the function and capability of the soul extraction lamp, but it still left them with expressions of shock and disbelief, and they stared intently at the soul extraction lamp, which now contained the ship spirit, Merry.
This thing was too magical; it was a technological product that could contain a soul… Time flew by, and the Straw Hat Pirates, Iceberg and his group, and later the Pink Hat Pirates, successively arrived at Water Seven.
However, under Luna's command, the Pink Hat Pirates' pirate ship docked on the other side of Water Seven.
Midway, though, they discovered a Desolate Island at sea, at least 1600 square meters in size.
This was a good location for building a new ship.
Luna immediately launched a drone, so they could later instruct the drone's signal to return here.
However, before disembarking, she looked at the other soul extraction lamp placed in her room.
After a brief thought, she decided to use the soul extraction lamp later when they returned to that Desolate Island, to extract the ship spirit of this ship, which had not yet fully developed intelligence.
Their pirate ship docked in a relatively open area.
Sana and the Bei Group had been waiting for a long time, and seeing the large pile of materials next to them, which included adam wood, and Luna still standing on the deck, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
It seemed Sana had completely passed her test.
They immediately lowered the plank and walked down.
Sana led the Bei Group over.
"I have not failed you, Captain Luna.
All the materials are here, and this is the CP9 list you asked me to find." Sana said, handing over both the previous material list and the CP9 list she had investigated.
Luna immediately handed the list to Shiro and Deya, asking them to check the quantity and quality of the materials.
At the same time, she also looked at the CP9 list Sana had investigated.
She found that everything was verified.
It contained all the names of the CP9 members, even their appearance characteristics were noted, along with their positions during their many years of infiltration here.
"Luna, the quality is very good and can fully meet my equipment manufacturing and shipbuilding needs, and everything is complete."
Shiro and Deya walked over, and she immediately reported to her.
"Well done, but I'd still like to hear a general overview of the process." Luna said with a slight smile, looking at Sana.
Sana immediately began to explain.
Firstly, Water Seven was in chaos, making things difficult to manage.
But she still managed, by spending a small amount of money and with a clever tongue, to gather information from some residents here, and then analyzed and compiled the identities of all CP9 members, etc., into this list.
Then came the materials.
Many of the materials on the list were rare.
She had originally set her sights on Galley-La Company, the best shipbuilding company here, but Galley-La Company was in disarray, so she had to immediately find some underground black markets here to acquire these materials.
Of course, the Bei Group also helped midway, but she was basically responsible for the entire intelligence investigation and material procurement.
After listening, Luna was very satisfied with Sana's intelligence capabilities.
She was qualified to become an intelligence officer on her ship.
"Sana, congratulations on passing the assessment.
Welcome to be my crewmate, to be the intelligence officer of the Pink Hat Pirates." Luna said with a smile, this was a sincere and heartfelt congratulation from her.
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations."
"Welcome."
"Welcome."
"Welcome, welcome."
"Please guide me in the future."
"Welcome, our intelligence officer."
"From now on, everyone is a companion, a sister."
The Girls all smiled and congratulated Sana, welcoming her arrival.
Sana had already demonstrated her strong intelligence capabilities and was fully qualified to be an intelligence officer, their ship's intelligence officer.
The Girls naturally approved of her.
With youth and beauty, and with Captain Luna, Sana's strength would rise rapidly like a rocket.
And at this very moment, the system had already determined that Luna had completed the two previously announced tasks.
These were successfully forming a ten-person elite Pirate Crew and inviting the fifth native Pirate World partner onto the ship.
The reward items for these two tasks were two Conquerors Haki Infusion Comprehension Cards, one Ultraman World Skill Card, and two old friends: two Observation Haki Awakening Cards and two armament haki awakening cards.
Luna had already said before that two of the obtained Observation Haki Awakening Cards and armament haki awakening cards were to be used by Sana.
Now that she had them, she naturally wouldn't break her word and would use them shortly.
There was also the White Tiger Fruit that had been obtained before, as well as two special otherworldly weapons, weapons very suitable for Sana.
