The World Government and those hateful Celestial Dragons, while evil, are not weak. They are truly powerful. The number of hidden experts alone far surpasses those who currently appear openly. They saw no hope of resistance, which led to the current situation.
They stayed isolated, living their own lives, but they had to admit that the ordinary residents and people living in the territories of both Shanks and Whitebeard fared quite well.
They truly are different from typical pirates; they still possess a conscience and a sense of justice.
In truth, they had all wanted to make changes before, but they lacked the power and ability, and they also harbored their own concerns.
But this time, they genuinely saw hope in Luna.
They believed she would certainly succeed.
"Shanks, Senior, what are your thoughts and goals? What will the Red Hair Pirates do next?"
Luna immediately looked up and questioned Shanks. It was a question she had wanted to ask earlier, but after the previous analysis and delay, she had nearly forgotten it. Now was the perfect time to bring it up.
"Really? I have a junior I highly regard, whom you also know. I plan to continue watching his growth, and then I will continue to stabilize the balance of the Great Sea, even though I know my strength is limited. At the same time, I also want to witness how far you will go, and whether you can achieve your grand and wonderful goals."
Shanks wore a smile, seemingly having finally come to a realization, and he immediately laughed.
However, Luna understood exactly what he meant.
But it was clear that Shanks and Whitebeard would not be her enemies. At the same time, Shanks still held faith in Luffy.
But at least, the relationships between the three parties were currently good, and they would not be mutually hostile.
The purpose of her visit had been accomplished, and she had received a satisfactory result. The system prompt sounded, informing her that another one of her missions was also complete.
After chatting for a while longer, Luna took Perona and departed from the area.
Shanks and his crew left shortly afterward.
At the same time, Whitebeard also had Marco inform Ace about the previous events, telling him to be a little more careful when facing Blackbeard. But alas, some things that are destined to happen will inevitably occur...
Meanwhile, on the other side, Luna and Perona floated in the air, remaining where they were.
"Luna, Captain, have you not decided where we should go yet?"
Seeing Luna still daydreaming, Perona immediately asked with curiosity. She also realized that the sun in the New World was too intense, so she quickly opened her parasol.
"Yes, but I plan to make a trip to the Sabaody Archipelago first. I want to find a suitable mermaid or fish-man companion," Luna quickly stated her next objective.
At the same time, she immediately took out the person-seeking staff, which was already loaded with the guiding light.
She had acquired many good things earlier, and it was time to search for this new native One Piece World companion.
"What is this?" Gazing at the staff in Luna's hand, which was inlaid with a dazzling, shimmering gem, Perona's eyes instantly lit up like two shining stars, and she asked with immense curiosity.
"This is a treasure I acquired accidentally, having discovered it while exploring ruins. It is like a beacon, capable of guiding us in the direction of the Sabaody Archipelago. After all, you are new to the New World and might not be familiar with it, and we didn't bring an eternal pose or directional compass that allows free movement in the New World this time," Luna quickly explained. Naturally, she couldn't say this was for finding a new companion, so she could only vaguely mislead Perona in this manner.
"Oh, I see. That truly is a magical treasure." Fortunately, Perona, the adorable girl, chose to believe her.
"Alright, let's hurry up and depart. However, the most ideal thing would be to look for a small ship. Whitebeard's territory has many town islands. I brought a lot of money this trip, so let's go purchase a small ship first." This was exactly what Luna had been thinking about. Although she herself could easily fly directly to the Sabaody Archipelago, Perona couldn't. Therefore, she could only come up with this solution and decide to buy a ship. After all, she had to look after Perona, and flying directly would also prevent her from assessing Perona's abilities as a Cook and Navigator.
"Yes, Captain." Perona's face was wreathed in smiles, like a blooming flower, and the two immediately set off on their journey.
Before long, they indeed encountered a beautiful town island. The residents lived happily and contentedly, which showed that Whitebeard had put his heart into it. He was one of the few good people among pirates, a truly loyal and righteous man.
The two immediately bought a small ship, and then set off directly, sailing in the direction of the Sabaody Archipelago...
However, some people were not in a good mood. This was currently taking place inside an office at Marineford.
"Bang!!!" Sengoku heard the news transmitted through the transponder snail, immediately smashed the desk in front of him in a fit of rage, and then cursed loudly.
"Bastards! How did you handle this? The three Emperors met, yet you didn't manage to get a single shred of news, not even a tiny bit."
A bitter and distressed voice quickly came from the other end of the transponder snail, sounding full of complaint and grievance. It was obvious that the person on the other end was the Marine spy aboard the Whitebeard Pirates.
They had seized the opportunity and immediately found a deserted place—or rather, the privacy of their own room—to report the matter to Sengoku.
"Damn it, how can that girl be so shrewd? Does she even know there are secret agents aboard the Whitebeard Pirates' ship?" After hearing this, even Sengoku suspected that Luna was responsible for this trick, and his expression immediately darkened.
After all, this young girl, who was now regarded by the Marines and the World Government as their number one enemy, was simply too shrewd and difficult to handle.
"However, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, we are not without gain, though it might be bad news for us Marines."
But suddenly, the words coming from the other side of the transponder snail startled Sengoku, and he immediately asked anxiously.
"Did the three parties join forces? Do they intend to cooperate?"
