Azur Lane Mobile Front.

"Ouch... Ouch, it hurts, meow!"

However, the next second, she realized that not only was her energy being drained, but the numbers on her memory card were also decreasing rapidly.

This pain reached its peak.

As a shrewd businessman, I can live without money, but I can't live without it.

At the same time, Akashi has a habit—she likes to carry her memory card with her at all times.

Correspondingly, she also invented a small device that allows users to check the status of their memory cards at any time.

After all, nothing is more gratifying than watching the numbers in your account grow rapidly.

But all of that has now changed.

Akashi, who was also a Pearl Envoy, realized at this moment that the huge warship in front of her, and its master, Shiranui, were the culprits behind all of this.

"Meow~ Aww!!!"

The excruciating pain nearly ripped Akashi's eyes apart.

Her mouth opened to its limit, almost tearing her cheeks apart.

Fiery lava erupted from all over her body.

The backpack that was originally folded behind her opened up amidst the flames, like a pair of mechanical wings, as Akashi roared.

"Akashi—you're going to get a good beating!"

Akashi opened his palm, his fingertips gleaming with a cold light.

Her once charming and adorable face had now become grotesque.

Just like the name of this machine, the cat has transformed into a lion at this moment.

...

Nie Yaga Ma.

Rob, who had already returned, looked at the changes that had occurred to Akashi in the system panel and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"As expected, it has to be this way~"

"However, I just feel a little bad about Akashi~"

"Well, whatever, it's not a big deal to let this unscrupulous merchant suffer a little loss anyway."

On second thought, why should I worry about this unscrupulous merchant?

"Zhenhai, notify Richelieu and Yorktown, and tell them to keep an eye on the place and not let Akashi Makoto tear down Shiranui."

Chapter 868: Assembly Complete

Akashi, radiating astonishing heat, transformed into a meteor and crashed into the bow of the Pleades Tora.

A sickening metallic tearing sound, accompanied by scattered sparks, echoed throughout the sea.

With just a simple claw strike, Akashi broke through the outer armor of Pleades Tora.

However, correspondingly, because she came into close contact with Shiranui, who was going berserk due to greed, the efficiency of Akashi's energy being plundered also increased significantly.

However, whether it's pearls and jade or a Rubik's Cube, they are all sources of infinite energy.

Therefore, this kind of energy plunder does not affect Akashi's actions at present.

However, with Shiranui's plundering, the tearing pain in Akashi's body became even more profound.

Thus, in the eyes of Richelieu and Yorktown, Shiranui and Akashi staged a scene where they ascended to heaven on the spot by stepping on each other's feet.

Akashi attacked Shiranui, and Shiranui's plundering became even more rapid.

Shiranui's plundering was even faster, and Akashi's pain became even more intense.

Akashi's pain intensified, so Shonyo exerted even more force and launched a more ferocious attack.

The greedy Taurus and the tormented Leo, through their mutual influence, shine ever brighter.

...

With a single punch, Priades Tora lost control and flew into the sky, with Akashi leaping after him.

She plummeted from the sky like a meteorite, crashing down upon Shiranui with a pained roar.

With another muffled thud, Pleades Toula was slammed into the sea.

The massive warship crashed, sending up a spray of water everywhere.

Akashi clung to the bow of the Priades Tora, tearing at its armor with his bare hands.

Piece after piece of metal was torn apart from Pleades Tora with a tearing sound.

Golden metal fragments were scattered across the surrounding sea surface.

...

"That's enough, it's time to stop them both."

Because of the two people stepping on each other's feet with their left foot, the surrounding space has begun to fluctuate under the influence of the power of the pearl.

The scene in sight has begun to lose its regularity.

Richelieu and Yorktown exchanged a glance, deciding it was time to end this farce.

"However, stopping these two ladies will probably take quite a bit of effort."

Yorktown looked troubled as he watched the two still locked in fierce combat in the distance.

"Hehe~ Sometimes, the method is also very important~"

However, compared to York City, which was in a somewhat difficult situation, Richelieu wore a calm and confident smile.

...

Akashi, clinging to the bow of the Pleades-Tora, raised his right hand after a struggle.

A huge wrench appeared out of thin air in her hand.

The moment Akashi grasped the wrench, it was fully extended.

It seems she's preparing to use this wrench to deliver the final blow.

However, everything came to a standstill at that moment.

It was as if someone had pressed the pause button at that moment.

"Miss Akashi, Miss Shiranui."

"If this keeps going on, I think your bills will be getting a really big one!"

Yorktown's words echoed directly in their minds.

Through the gaping hole in the bow armor, Akashi and Shiranui locked eyes.

In their eyes, they saw the emotions of "fear and hesitation" at the same time.

"Get off my bow... you stupid cat..."

Shiranui's words were still as sharp as ever, but this time, although her voice was a little hoarse, it also became ethereal.

The eyes, which had been clouded by greed, gradually became clear.

The few will-o'-the-wisps beside her slowly faded from their dazzling gold color back to their usual pale blue.

"After we get back to the port, I'll return everything I owe Akashi, meow!"

As for Akashi, the pain emanating from all parts of her body still brought tears to her eyes.

However, without Shiranui's plundering, this pain is gradually fading.

Even her unique verbal tic, which had disappeared for a while, returned.

...

"Looks like it's all over."

Upon receiving the message from Richelieu at the front, Rob finally felt relieved.

The most crucial part of this round of costume changes has now come to a complete end.

Although there were some minor setbacks in Poland during the process, the result was still good.

Rob successfully recruited two Pearl Envoys who had reached the second stage of awakening.

"Alright, you don't need to worry about things over there."

"Jean Barth, it's your turn to play."

"Ok?"

The pirate lady, arms crossed, looked over with a sour expression.

The long-awaited holiday didn't bring me any time alone with Luo; instead, I had to work overtime, which completely dampened my spirits.

"What are you looking at? These are your own soldiers, lead them yourselves!"

"What, do you want me to arrange for a company to give the first lesson to everyone in Iris?"

"嘁~"

Jean Bart stared at Rob for a while, then turned to look at Vauquelin and the others who were looking on expectantly not far behind him. In the end, he pursed his lips and accepted the task.

...

Three days later.

The port area of ​​Donghuang was unusually lively.

The fleet from Sakura Empire successfully rendezvoused with this side.

With the divine princess Nagato personally leading the team, the Sakura Empire's mass-produced ferocious bird squad finally embarked on their first expedition.

"Is the unknown world like Lord Amagi's hometown?"

The little fox, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, sat upright in Rob's office, holding a teacup, glancing occasionally at Rob, who was discussing the expedition plan with Tianzhen Hai.

Behind her, Jiang Feng stood gracefully.

"That Jiang Feng... actually, you can sit here with the Commander."

"..."

Jiang Feng simply shook his head slightly in response to Nagato's gaze.

Nagato sighed and gave up on trying to persuade the other party.

...

"Will they enter in batches?"

On the other side, Rob and Tianzhen Hai were discussing the final details.

The unique nature of this destination forced Rob to make even more thorough preparations.

"That's right, and I think it's best to have a reserve team in addition to all the teams."

"The reserves, you mean?"

"Heh, Commander, didn't the Northern Union not participate in this operation?"

Zhenhai covered half of his face with a round fan, his eyes gleaming.

"inappropriate."

However, Tiancheng objected to Zhenhai's plan.

"Although the Northern Union has a warship, they lack decisive power."

“If a situation arises that the Lord cannot handle, their involvement will not be of much use.”

"My suggestion is to have Miss Shiranui serve as the reserve team."

Chapter 869: The Cut-Off World

Looking at his two staff officers who had differing opinions, Rob felt a headache coming on.

He wasn't oblivious to the rivalry between Zhenhai and Tiancheng.

However, he couldn't come up with a good solution to this situation.
