However, they also had to admit that the plan of the Navy and the World Government was finally successful this time, unlike before when they made no progress at all.
At the same time, many other powerful figures and big shots reacted differently; they were shocked, but also felt that this was what the Pink Hat Pirates deserved, and what Luna should receive.
Now, even proud figures like Big Mom and Kaido had to admit that this little girl and her Pirate Crew were truly extraordinary, and that they certainly had the ability to become the fifth emperor. They accepted this fact.
At the same time, they were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. Looking at the Old Captain's brother, and then looking at their own children—Big Mom currently found her sons and daughters increasingly disappointing and disliked them. Moreover, when she suddenly thought of Lola, who had run away from her arranged marriage a few years ago, she immediately flew into a rage, nearly triggering a food addiction syndrome episode.
She immediately issued a bounty warrant, and the immediate order to hunt Lola shocked many people in the Big Mom Pirates, especially Big Mom's other children who were close to Lola. They all prayed for Lola, "Lola, please don't fall into Mama's hands!"
Kaido was also furious. Looking at the Old Captain's Granddaughter, and then looking at the daughter he raised as a son, why was the gap so huge? Especially since one was a good girl and the other was a rebellious girl; one was Admiral Level but still far inferior to the Three Admirals of the Navy, while the other was a current top-tier powerhouse, even stronger than any of the current Yonko.
My goodness, why is the difference so vast?
The angrier Kaido got, the closer he came to going out and committing suicide. But realizing that Old Captain Rocks was about to storm into the New World, he decided not to leave. Big Mom felt the same, as both of them had been betrayers back in the day.
Meanwhile, the other four Warlord of the Sea, excluding Moria, Kuma, and Crocodile, sped up their pace upon learning that Luna was actually absent and had gone to the New World.
After all, they had been hesitant, as even Hawkeye had to admit that they would be easily defeated, or even eliminated, by Luna.
However, if only the others remained, they still had the courage to venture into the current Pink Hat Pirates' stronghold.
Although the danger level was still very high, with at least Three Admirals and six Reserve Admirals, it was still better without Luna, so they all planned to try their luck.
Of course, there was an exception, and that was Jinbe, because he was different from the other three.
Within the Pink Hat Pirates, Doflamingo most wanted to see Shiro, Hawkeye wanted to meet Kuina and have a spar, and Hancock wanted to meet everyone.
But Jinbe was different; he wanted to go directly to see Luna, because he hoped Luna would use her resurrection ability to revive Big Brother Fisher Tiger.
Fortunately, Jinbe was still in the New World, having almost returned to Fish-Man Island and planned to enter the first half of the Grand Line through the passage beneath the Red Line.
However, now that he knew Luna had appeared in the New World, he immediately contacted Whitebeard Pops, learned the direction Luna had departed in, and immediately chased after her. He believed they would meet soon.
The Navy, who constantly monitored the Warlord of the Sea, were almost moved to tears when they saw four of them preparing to go after the Pink Hat Pirates, believing they had finally become obedient. Although Sengoku and Tsuru felt something was amiss, as long as they could help distract and provoke the Pink Hat Pirates, it was fine.
However, if they knew the true intentions of these Warlord of the Sea, they would likely fly into a rage and nearly cough up blood.
They had truly fostered a group of parasites, a group of freeloaders who were also eating their main rations.
But the Navy did not know this now, and instead issued renewed threats against Kuma and Moria, who had not left.
Kuma was spared, however, since he had helped the Navy execute many missions. Now that Kuma expressed his unwillingness to go, the Navy was willing to save face for him, and besides, there were enough cannon fodder Warlord of the Sea going out this time, especially since the current top three of the Warlord of the Sea had mobilized.
Nevertheless, they still instructed Kuma to immediately threaten Moria and tell him to get moving quickly.
Meanwhile, Rocks, who had already set sail, was also very happy after learning about this matter. He felt proud and gratified to have such a good Granddaughter as Luna. She truly was the Granddaughter of Rocks; the old man loved her more and more the more he looked at her.
On the other side, the Straw Hat Pirates already knew, but after receiving another bounty notice, they were still very happy for the Pink Hat Pirates.
Regarding which Pirate Crew in the world had the best relationship with the Pink Hat Pirates, even the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates were far inferior to the Straw Hat Pirates.
After all, there were bonds of familial love and friendship between the crew members and the captains of both sides.
At the same time, soon after escaping from Garp's deliberate release, they encountered Brook. Initially, they were very resistant to suddenly having such a strange skeleton join the crew; even though Luffy liked him very much, the other crew members were extremely resistant and afraid.
Even the most mature Robin and Franky were resistant, but when they heard Brook's self-introduction and learned that he was a former member of the Rumbar Pirates and the person the whale Laboon had been waiting for, the others were fine, but the East Blue Five were incredibly shocked that they had actually met him.
Based solely on this connection and dedication, the Straw Hat Pirates' attitude towards Brook shifted from initial resistance and fear to enthusiastic welcome and acceptance.
And just like that, Brook successfully became a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, staying on the ship as the musician.
Brook quickly integrated into the group. Perhaps this was what they called destiny... Meanwhile, although sailing on the sea, Luna was also dealing with the rewards from this incident.
Perona took charge of her duties, observing whether the weather conditions at sea would suddenly change. At the same time, she was responsible for cooking on the deck. Of course, this was only possible because she had brought out the kitchen utensils from inside the cabin; otherwise, how could she handle both the duties of Navigator and cook?
Luna unhesitatingly used the Conqueror's Haki Awakening Card. This mysterious power instantly crossed space and reached Dia, who was far away.
In Dia's room, she was sitting cross-legged quietly, practicing cultivation. Suddenly, a powerful force surged into her body, causing her body to tremble involuntarily. She snapped her eyes open, and a never-before-seen light flashed within them.
Dia felt the immense power of this force. She knew this was the awakening of Conqueror's Haki. A surge of unparalleled confidence and determination rose in her heart, and she was also extremely happy that she had finally obtained this power.
At the same time, this meant that the Pink Hat Pirates now had five Conqueror's Haki users.
