"Gurarara, little girl, I've already told Jinbe your location. You just have to wait where you are. Given your current position, you're not far from Fish-Man Island, so Jinbe and the others should arrive soon."
Whitebeard laughed heartily, clearly indicating that the matter was settled.
"Thank you. But do you know why Jinbe wants to see me?"
Luna first thanked Whitebeard, but she was still very curious about why Jinbe was looking for her, even though she already had some guesses.
She had no prior connection with Fish-Man Island, so it was unlikely Jinbe was seeking her out on its behalf. Aside from Fish-Man Island, there was only one other matter she had revealed, and Jinbe must be looking for her because of it.
Sure enough, the next words Whitebeard spoke confirmed her suspicion.
"Gurarara, little girl, did you forget the gift you gave so quickly?"
It was indeed that matter. Luna wore an expression of expectation, smiling with a hint of helplessness and bitterness.
She knew that even if she displayed the ability to resurrect the dead, those people wouldn't immediately covet her or take action, but someone would definitely seek her help. Although the One Piece World was low-level, it was a world constantly associated with death, and many people, regardless of their faction, had lost those they valued and trusted.
But this was a System mission, and she coveted the reward. Furthermore, their strength at the time no longer allowed them to remain low-key.
"Alright, thank you." After everything concluded and exchanging a few more words with Whitebeard, Luna proactively hung up the transponder snail.
Immediately, a virtual panel appeared before her, displaying a mission that the System had recently issued to Luna, though it was not yet complete.
"Please resurrect five famous powerhouses in the One Piece World. Currently completed: 1/5. Rewards: 100 portions of Devil Fruit Weakness Removal Potion, one Ultimate Crystal."
The former needs no explanation: the Devil Fruit Weakness Removal Potion is like a magical key. Upon drinking it, a Devil Fruit User can break free from the restraints of seawater and Sea Stone, thriving like a fish in water. This time, the System was exceedingly generous, granting Luna a full 100 portions, provided the mission is successfully completed.
The other item was a crystal that could allow Flower Fairy Beast to achieve Ultimate Evolution, shining like a brilliant pearl.
Moreover, Flower Fairy Beast could evolve into Rosemon at will, whose combat power was explosive. According to Luna's own estimation, once Flower Fairy Beast successfully evolves into Rosemon, her fighting strength would surge like a rocket, approaching the level of a half-step Yonko, and potentially even entering the Yonko tier directly.
Although it was only one mission, since it was a long-term task, Luna found it reasonable that it provided only these rewards.
This mission had only been assigned recently; therefore, previous resurrections did not count, and the tally had to start counting from Thatch.
Time flew by quickly. After resting briefly and eating something, Luna and Perona waited quietly where they were.
Not long after, Luna first froze, then broke into a joyful smile.
Because she could clearly sense that Flower Fairy Beast was rushing toward them. At the same time, she quickly checked the time—it was already half-past three, indeed approaching the threshold of dusk.
"Hmm, someone is flying over." Luna suddenly stopped eating and looked up, startling Perona. Perona immediately looked curiously in the direction Luna was staring, and exclaimed in surprise.
And the figure was actually flying. As the approaching person got closer, Perona's jaw dropped in astonishment, because the one arriving was not human at all.
She looked like a flower fairy elf, the kind Perona often read about in fairy tales.
The one who arrived was Flower Fairy Beast, possessing a beautiful appearance and a kind heart.
Her body was composed of pink and green, topped by a large, blooming pink flower bud, whose petals shimmered with crystal-clear light.
Her eyes were blue and extremely bright, giving off a refreshing feeling. Her arms and legs were very slender and delicate pink, making her look very graceful.
She also had a pair of four-leaf wings on her back, and she wore green boots adorned with yellow flower patterns.
"Luna, I'm here." Flower Fairy Beast quickly flew over, wearing a sweet smile. Where she flew, she left behind scattered green starlight and fluttering pink petals.
With a soft sound, she gently landed on the deck, smiling as she looked at Luna. As for basic information, the System had already implanted it into her mind.
Therefore, Flower Fairy Beast now knew what she needed to do.
Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that this was the Flower Fairy Beast from the main storyline. After discussions between the System and her, she expressed a desire to see the new world, especially since she could permanently maintain her Flower Fairy Beast form without having to revert to Togemon, Palmon, or Tanemon. Thus, she immediately agreed, and now, Flower Fairy Beast had appeared here, in this world.
"Welcome, my main lookout." Luna said with a smile.
Since the System had already arranged the lookout position for Flower Fairy Beast, Luna gracefully accepted the arrangement, smiling as she looked at Flower Fairy Beast and extended a hand.
Flower Fairy Beast also extended a hand and shook Luna's, immediately smiling.
"This is Perona, she is also a crew member on my ship, but she is not a core member."
Perona immediately spoke with a smile, showing no offense at not being a core member—the so-called officer—because she was well aware of her own capabilities.
She was already satisfied just being an ordinary crew member.
Moreover, after this trip, she would officially be confirmed as a permanent member.
"Captain Luna, who is this?" Perona still wanted to ask this question, especially since the other party seemed to belong to a special race she didn't recognize.
"Her name is Flower Fairy Beast. She is half plant, half animal. You can also think of her as a flower spirit, an elf born from a flower."
Luna gave a slight simplification, as she couldn't reveal the truth. Furthermore, the One Piece World naturally contained many diverse races, some of which even Luna was currently unaware of, as this was the real world, not the anime she had watched.
"There are really flower spirits?" Perona said, looking surprised.
"Hello, I am Flower Fairy Beast. Please take care of me from now on."
"I should be the one saying that. I'm just an ordinary member, and you are a core officer."
"It's fine. On my ship, everyone is like sisters, but those with ability and strength become officers. Everyone gets along very well normally."
Flower Fairy Beast, Perona, and Luna spoke one after another. Meanwhile, a new group of people arrived in the distance.
