I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

Teach her how to use a web crawler?

Who doesn't know how to use a web crawler?

They...they all came from the stars?!

Lynch wasn't stupid; he immediately made the connection and looked at Figo in surprise.

"You...you've been...for a while now..."

At this moment, Doflamingo, who had heard the news, appeared behind Lynch. Upon seeing the group inside, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully greeted them: "Admiral Kizaru, Admiral Linlin, Lord Figo."

He didn't recognize Nami: "And who is this?"

"Nami, Doflamingo, you got involved with Lanternfire Star too early. Back then, the Blue Sea Bank hadn't even been established yet. The Blue Sea Bank was the institution that issued Starry Sky Currency, and Nami was the president of the Blue Sea Bank. Now I've transferred her to Lanternfire Star to serve as the finance minister of the merchant group, on the same level as Kizaru, Linlin, Lucilia, and Lynch, managing all the finances of the merchant group."

So you mean you're half a grade higher than me?

Doflamingo understood what he meant and greeted Nami, "Minister Nami."

Greeting a little girl was no big deal to him, because he believed that this was just Figo's punishment period for him, and that Lucilia was not capable enough, and that he would be put back into use sooner or later.

At the same time, he was also shocked. Sure enough, they were all transferred from Qinghai. Lord Figo really did come out of the woods and brought people back!

Leaving the Flaming Lights wasn't too difficult for Figo. Unlike Asmodian, he didn't need to find a blind spot where the Lights' power blocked his way. He just needed to find a relatively weak spot, take the beating, and charge out.

After sharing drinks with the Holy Demon King, he left smoothly within a few hours and returned to the starry sky. To his surprise, during the months he was away, the starry sky was calm and peaceful, with no hidden demon generals causing trouble. The small groups that tried to take advantage of the starry sky demon race were easily dealt with by the Qinghai Navy and the demon race themselves.

Was his return already predicted?

However, peace in the starry sky is always a good thing. He contacted the kings of the starry sky, went back to Qinghai for a look, and then returned with his men. Many navy men wanted to go with Figo to the Land of Light, but after careful consideration, Figo temporarily refused and only brought back four people.

Aside from Nami, Kizaru, and Linlin.

There was another one, who stayed in the first-floor lounge because the upper floors of the merchant group were not tall enough.

Soon, Lin Qi fell into a state of mental instability.

He couldn't describe what he saw.

Is this real?

She has long, flowing pink curly hair, adorned with a taiyaki-shaped hair accessory, bright blue eyes, a beautiful face, a full bust, and a fishtail in varying shades of pink.

If Nami is cute...

This one is twice as cute!

Who can resist a 12-meter-tall mermaid girl?

She looked a little timid: "Hello, I'm Bai Xing."

"...Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!"

His catchphrase popped out again.

Chapter 340 Shirahoshi's Abilities

Bai Xing was a little nervous in front of Lin Qi.

In fact, she had often been looked at like this since she was a child. After all, fish giants are relatively common, but mermaid giants are relatively rare, and such a beautiful mermaid giant is even rarer.

But she always had a little bit of social anxiety.

"Hello, Mr. Lynch."

"Ah, hello." Lin Qi quickly closed his mouth, feeling that his loud greeting was rather impolite: "Sorry, I..."

"It's alright, I know Mr. Lin Qi meant no harm." Bai Xing's voice was soft and sweet: "Please... take good care of me in the future."

"Yes!" Lin Qi stood ramrod straight, as if answering a command.

"Alright." Figo tapped him on the shoulder. "You've met everyone you need to. Go get two web bugs and get down to business."

"Yes!" Lin Qi stiffly slipped away.

"Shirahoshi." After he left, Nami immediately pulled a small lamp wick from the dimensional pocket on her chest. "It's a pity your body is too big to go upstairs. We just went to the lamp wick storage warehouse with Lord Figo, and I brought you a cute little one..."

"Thank you, Miss Nami." Shirahoshi became much more lively around her, reaching out a hand to lift her to her chest, her smile as bright as a flower.

"Really, so cute."

"right?"

The two girls were chattering away.

Kizaru then said, "Well then, Mr. Figo, I'll go with Doflamingo to meet my new subordinates."

Figo nodded: "Go ahead, your new job will be more relaxed, but you'll be doing more than just being the Minister of Transport for the merchant corps, don't forget that."

Kizaru pouted and muttered, "This is troublesome~ I understand."

"Does Admiral Kizaru have any other missions?" Doflamingo murmured to himself, then said, "Admiral Kizaru, please come with me."

"Oh~ I heard that you've suffered a lot over the years, Doflamingo. Your walking posture has become quite unique..." As the two walked away, Kizaru's unique voice could still be heard.

Lingling had already sat down and said, "That child even tripped and fell while going up the steps."

She was referring to Lynch in the mind network, meaning she was asking Figo where he found such a silly boy, and that he seemed to value him highly, even using his name for the trading company he established.

“Fate, filial piety and understanding, plus some unique talents,” Figo said.

Lingling nodded in understanding, glanced at Shirahoshi who was chatting with Nami, took a deep breath, and mouthed something to Figo.

When are we eating?

'Later, secretly.'

Lingling immediately beamed with joy.

She had wanted to come to Lantern Star for a long time; the high-level sea kings were very attractive to her, but right now, being with Bai Xing, a mermaid princess who could communicate with giant sea kings, she couldn't make a fuss.

A moment later, Lin Qi ran back carrying two web bugs. The two girls immediately stopped talking, and Nami jumped down from Shirahoshi's palm.

"Is this the Network Bug? A unique product of the Light Star." She walked over to Lynch and took one from him: "It's a turtle."

Lingling and Baixing also cast curious glances their way.

Figo had briefly explained the functions of the Network Bugs to them. They were amazed to learn that such a small creature could accomplish what the Machine Race could do... The Den Den Mushi were different. In their eyes, the existence of Den Den Mushi was like a rule; they had never even seen a telephone.

The network bug that Nami was holding, its turtle head cautiously poked out of its shell, glanced at Nami, seemed to sense no danger, then glanced at Linling, and quickly withdrew its head!

"You're quite perceptive," Lingling said with a smile.

"This stuff isn't meant to be used to make soup."

Figo shook his head, then looked thoughtful: "Come to think of it, I'm also a little curious about the taste."

The grandfather and grandson smiled at each other.

Lin Qi's expression stiffened, and he hugged the internet bug in his arms even tighter. The uncle didn't seem to be joking. His granddaughter... seemed a little off?

Fortunately, Nami is still relatively normal.

"It's trembling. It seems to be much more intelligent than a Den Den Mushi. Here, Shirahoshi." She handed the Den Den Mushi to Shirahoshi.

Shirahoshi's large hand held the Network Bug more easily than an ordinary person would hold a Den Den Mushi. He placed it before him, looking at the round, plump turtle shell, and hesitated slightly before saying:

"Mr. Internet Bug?"

Nami smiled and said, "Shirahoshi, it has a pink shell, maybe it's a girl?"

"Hmm, Ms. Webworm?" Shirahoshi gently poked Webworm with her other finger.

The web-eating insect peeked out hesitantly, its eyes meeting Bai Xing's clear, large eyes.

It blinked.

Shirahoshi blinked too.

Lin Qi felt his heart rate increase slightly, and quickly coughed lightly, saying, "Um, its shell can be lifted up like this, and then used."

He demonstrated by showing the screen.

Nami observed for a moment, then reached out and gently stroked it.

Bai Xing asked softly, "Miss Network Bug, won't it hurt if you do this?"

The pink web-eating insect in her hand actually shook its head at her, and the next moment, the tortoise shell on its back rose up on its own.

"Huh?" Lin Qi said in surprise, "Miss Bai Xing, it seems to like you a lot. It raises its shell when its master wants to use it, which is a way for the network bug to show affection."

"Next, we'll open it like this..."

He tapped the screen lightly, and looking at Bai Xing, he suddenly realized what was happening and looked annoyed.

"Ah, sorry, I forgot, I should have gotten the biggest web bug..."

Bai Xing's fingers were almost as thick as the entire network bug on her hand. How could she operate that?

"It's alright, Miss Network Bug, I'm going to hand you over to Miss Nami." Shirahoshi gently shook her head, but Network Bug also gently shook her head.

Then the screen lit up by itself.

"Huh???" Lin Qi was stunned.

What? What? Even the network bug he's been using wouldn't automatically turn on for him, or rather, before today, he didn't even know that the network bug could do such a thing.

Figo's eyes flickered slightly: "White Star, have it bring up the latest news from Mars."

"Ah, yes..." Shirahoshi weakly replied, "Miss Network Bug..."

Before she could finish speaking, the page popped up on its own.

Next, under Bai Xing's command, the network bug autonomously completed a variety of functions.

They are extremely obedient, like an arm that can be commanded at will.

Lin Qi was a little dumbfounded.

“White Star, have it infiltrate the Flame Merchant Guild’s network again,” Figo said.

"...That's impossible." Lin Qi came to his senses: "The Flame Merchant Guild has experts in controlling network bugs that ignite the flames. Even if I led the entire guild to hack in, it's impossible..."

"That's impossible..."

"impossible!"

Looking at the images displayed on the screen of the network bug in Bai Xing's hand, he began to question the meaning of life.
