The entire ten-member Pink Hat Pirates, along with the seven members of the Bei Group, instantly vanished from their original spot, and soon there was no one left.
They had truly left, but Rocks wasn't worried. After all, he had already left his transponder snail number, and through the previous battle, he clearly understood that his Granddaughter and The Girls of this Pirate Crew were not to be trifled with.
However, when he thought that his Granddaughter actually had a crew member who could use Space Ability, to be honest, he felt a bit envious.
After all, whether for combat or mobility, Space Ability was simply too powerful and practical.
The scene just now had stunned him and the other Rocks Pirates crew members. Was this the power of Space Ability? It was truly amazing.
Not long after, the ice ship and ice rafts were built. All members of the Rocks Pirates boarded the ship and rafts, taking the sky fire robot with them, and immediately set sail for Water Seven.
All that remained was the pockmarked, ice-covered battlefield, with several large chunks dug out. But as time passed, this place would eventually return to being an ocean, as ice was destined to melt.
Meanwhile, on the other side, on a sizable Deserted Island that Luna and The Girls had previously scouted, with a familiar flash of silver light, Luna and The Girls instantly appeared.
"Oh?" But to The Girls' surprise, this was not just a Deserted Island; there were also some wooden houses, very suitable for living.
There were also some wooden houses that looked like warehouses.
Only Luna and Shiro knew the truth, as they were the ones who had built them.
The two of them immediately spoke up.
Luna: "That day, when I returned from Enies Lobby, I saw this island."
Shiro: "Yes, after some discussion between Luna and me—oh, and Dia—we decided to build our true pirate ship here, a colossal pirate ship that can both fight and serve as our home."
Luna: "Since we'll be staying here for a while, we couldn't go without a place to live. So, I had Shiro transport some robots and building materials here in advance. These wooden houses were already built yesterday at 3:30 AM."
The two spoke back and forth like a rapid-fire cannon, instantly answering The Girls' questions. They suddenly understood why there were wooden houses here, as if enlightened.
But at this moment, seeing that The Girls were all exhausted, Luna pondered for a moment and then immediately issued new instructions.
"Shiro and Ina, quickly arrange everyone's living quarters. Carmen, come with me to the kitchen; lunch will be ready soon, so please prepare it quickly. Kaya, prepare some potions for everyone to restore their energy and clear their minds. You will come with us; I will take you to the medical room."
Their temporary living arrangements here had to be properly organized first, and it was most fitting for Kuina, the head housekeeper, and Shiro, who knew the place inside out, to be in charge of this matter.
At the same time, as lunchtime approached, everyone deserved to treat themselves well.
This was also a celebration of their triumphant return from battle.
Kaya's medical skills had improved by leaps and bounds recently, so preparing some potions to replenish energy and refresh everyone was a simple task for her.
Coincidentally, the wooden houses included dedicated kitchens and medical rooms.
At Luna's command, The Girls immediately became busy like nimble little birds.
After Shiro and Kuina entered the residential wooden houses, the former patiently explained, and the latter listened carefully. Soon, they arranged satisfactory rooms for each of The Girls.
As for their luggage, it had already been prepared before they set off from Water Seven and was safely stored in their storage rings.
Now, they only needed to take it out and arrange it slightly to transform it into their beloved bedrooms, where they could live as they always had.
As for Luna's room, after taking Carmen and Kaya to their designated areas, she returned, chose a room she liked, and meticulously decorated it.
In the kitchen on the other side, the "sizzling" sound of stir-frying and the "clanging" sound of knives chopping ingredients soon emerged, along with the tempting aroma of cooked food, which even reached the residential wooden houses.
And in the medical room, the sounds of pounding herbs and something similar to boiling water were soon heard as well.
Kaya and Carmen both seemed to be doing their utmost to complete their tasks.
Even though they were tired at this point, they understood the principle of 'no pain, no gain.' However, the other girls, after arranging their rooms, had already started taking showers in the bathroom.
After all, even though they hadn't suffered any injuries in the battle, they had worked up a sweat and had some blood and other unpleasant odors on them. The Girls couldn't stand it, so they all took showers.
At this moment, Luna, who was bathing in hot water and washing her hair with shampoo, first paused, then a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Because this time, all missions were completed.
Meanwhile, on the other side, ten minutes earlier.
"Tsuru, what did you say? The thrilling battle we just experienced was filmed entirely by Morgans and even broadcast live to the entire sea!"
At this moment, in the conference room of Staff Officer Tsuru's warship, Garp, along with the Three Admirals of the Navy and Bogard, who had just awakened from their unconsciousness, were thunderstruck. Each of them was dumbfounded, their mouths agape wide enough to fit an egg, as they looked at Staff Officer Tsuru in disbelief and spoke.
They simply couldn't accept this cruel reality, as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed. Didn't this mean that everything they had displayed throughout the battle, especially those embarrassing moments, had been exposed to the public, making everyone across the entire sea fully aware?
Thinking of this, all of them felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their moods utterly dreadful. They now stared uniformly at Staff Officer Tsuru, praying that this was all just a nightmare.
Unfortunately, reality is often so cruel and merciless.
As Staff Officer Tsuru nodded helplessly, including Black Horse, Momousagi, and Tokikake.
Everyone wilted like eggplants hit by frost. They had no choice but to painfully accept the fact that their recent fierce battle had been broadcast live to the entire sea, from beginning to end, like a grand performance.
Now, everyone across the entire sea was aware.
"Damn Morgans!" The moment he thought of his wretched appearance while unconscious, and the several times he was beaten to a pulp and humiliated by those girls, all witnessed by the entire sea, Akainu immediately became furious and cursed loudly. He now believed that that old birdman was ten thousand times more detestable than those pirates and those girls.
Kizaru and Aokiji, and Bogard's faces were also overcast, ominously grim. Setting aside whether it was embarrassing or not, their thick skin, especially Kizaru's, was only slightly thicker than Akainu's, but the thought of their failure being so mercilessly exposed made them feel a mix of emotions, like a spilled five-flavor bottle, leaving a sour taste.
In comparison, Garp felt a little better, as he had neither failed nor made too much of a fool of himself.
