Anime Crossover: Post-Apocalyptic Base, Starting with Summoning Ship Girls

Page 13

If Shirou Emiya's origin is the sword, then projecting a "sword" would be easier. In that case, Luo Zhen's origin might be the "ship".

He has a deep bond with the ship girls and possesses their qualities. He has also explored Enterprise's body extensively and projected the Enterprise ship into his body with ease.

However, because he didn't have enough energy in his body, he could only project a miniature version, and it could only be maintained for a short time, but that was enough.

Luo Zhen explained the situation briefly to everyone, and then sent the little yellow chick off on a mini ship.

"It can only be projected after a thorough exploration. Although this ship is a miniature model, it is still quite exquisite, and the commander can project it very easily..."

"Hmph~ So, how many times have you done this?"

Tiancheng narrowed his eyes, his tone strangely tinged with a distinct sourness. Mei wasn't in Lin, I was in Lin Kong, Mei hadn't thought about it...

"Do you remember how many loaves of bread you've eaten?"

The company curled its lip in disapproval.

"Naturally, it's zero."

Not only have I never eaten any bread, but I've also never had any in-depth conversations with the commander.

She had only ever used her hands, feet, and mouth, and not long ago she was hoping to break through the current shackles of her relationship with Luo Zhen. Who would have thought that the fish-men would launch an attack?

Prince Eugen didn't speak, but judging from her expression, it was clear she was very unhappy; a sour feeling permeated the air.

After what just happened, she had accepted reality. It was impossible to have the Commander all to herself; he belonged to everyone and should be shared.

I accept it, but it's also true that I'm unhappy about it; the two are not contradictory.

Luo Zhen and Prince Eugen were also very close, so he naturally felt the same way.

The solution to all this was quite simple: he grabbed Prince Eugen and gave him a passionate kiss without hesitation.

Prince Eugen struggled symbolically for a few moments, but ultimately could only submit.

After the kiss ended, she blushed and playfully punched Luo Zhen.

"Can't we kiss a little longer?"

This pose was so cute that it brought a surge of joy to Luo Zhen's heart.

"Because I received a message from the little yellow chicks, they have discovered the enemy's tracks, and we need to start our operation."

Luo Zhen stroked Prince Eugen's head.

"Commander, you have to make up for it later, whether it's a kiss or 'deep communication,' you can't miss either."

Princess Eugen composed herself slightly, her shyness vanished, and she returned to her previous self.

"Please be careful during combat."

Because he needed to conceal his strength, Prince Eugen did not need to take action.

Luo Zhen made some arrangements, and Amagi and Prince Eugen only needed to deal with the few who slipped through the net.

Luo Zhen and Enterprise will handle the fighting.

"Don't worry, there won't be any that slip through the net. We'll wipe them all out."

The company smiled. She was already incredibly strong, and she had gained a lot of experience from Luo Zhen, upgrading herself many times.

She unfolded her ship's rigging, gripped her bow and arrow tightly, and the arrow shot out, transforming into the shape of an airplane in mid-air.

The plane circled in the air, and the company employee jumped up.

"No? What kind of operation is this?"

Luo Zhen stared wide-eyed, for he had witnessed something unbelievable.

The company stood steadily on the plane and took off smoothly.

"Airplanes are not such inconvenient things. Ship girls...aren't they amazing?"

Tiancheng smiled; she didn't think it was a big problem.

"The commander is using the cannon barrel to accelerate his own movement; I think that's even more outrageous."

Prince Eugen muttered something under his breath, complaining about what had happened earlier.

Who would have thought that Luo Zhen would approach in such a way? It's really hard to guard against.

That's enough small talk. The company has already set off, so Luo Zhen naturally can't lag behind and immediately speeds up as well.

The two accelerated at sea and soon arrived at their destination.

The sea surface was surging with waves, while beneath the surface lay a large, dark shadow.

Like ink spreading in water, these guys exude a dangerous aura.

"There's more than I expected."

Luo Zhen muttered to himself. He had fought against fishmen many times, and at most he had fought against fifty fishmen. One-on-one battles were just a bit annoying, but victory was always the result.

But this was the first time he had ever seen such a scene.

"coming soon."

As the company's voice became apparent, the monsters beneath the sea launched an attack and voluntarily surfaced.

"I am their target."

This was a clear fact from the beginning; we could simply start a war.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Insights from the Battle

The fishmen moved like a tide, but Luo Zhen was not afraid at all and launched a direct charge. The voice of Heart Steel was so pleasant to hear.

The company, hovering in its plane, launched a barrage of attacks, like a sudden storm.

Faced with the fierce attack of the humanoid aircraft carrier, these guys were completely powerless to fight back. Luo Zhen glanced at Enterprise when he had a moment to spare. He knew that Enterprise had not used its full strength.

Luo Zhen also restrained himself slightly, causing several of the projected miniature ships to self-destruct.

The light spread out, and the white sphere engulfed the fishmen, dealing a heavy blow to them.

Heart Steel is a good thing, but its cooldown time is too long, so Luo Zhen has to adopt a more efficient method.

He took a deep breath, his mind filled with various thoughts, all the details of the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier flowing through his mind, all because of his many in-depth explorations of the Enterprise.

"If ships can be constructed, then carrier-based aircraft should be able to as well, right? Why is projection so inconvenient?"

Luo Zhen only "thought" for a moment, and then something miraculous happened.

At this moment, he truly understood just how powerful the force within him was.

Because this energy seems to be "idealistic" and difficult to define using ordinary physical laws, it possesses infinite possibilities.

"Carrier-based aircraft...come out!"

With a shout, he stretched out his arms to the left and right, striking the same pose as Narancia from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind. The projected miniature plane took off and began firing randomly.

Because it's a cheap projection, after a burst of firepower, it can even directly collide with the fish-like crowd, instantly detonating all its energy.

Luo Zhen didn't go all out, but he can certainly try various approaches in this battle.

He layered his steel heart upon layer, his mind constantly brimming with brilliant ideas, and he would put them into practice at the slightest thought.

"Speaking of which, if I could absorb more of the essence of aircraft carrier girls, I should be able to summon real carrier-based aircraft. However, a cheap projection is actually good enough."

Luo Zhen made a gun gesture in front of him, and with a "bang," a plane accelerated forward, delivering the decisive blow.

"They fled in disarray, Commander, we have won."

The company landed on the water, the sea breeze ruffled her hair, and a smile appeared on her face; victory was something to be joyful about.

"But why do I feel like this matter isn't over yet?"

As soon as Luo Zhen finished speaking, sure enough, an unexpected situation unfolded before their eyes.

"Something's getting closer, it's a big one."

The company grabbed Luo Zhen's shoulder, intending to speed up and take him away.

The steel of the heart is resounding, and a massive shadow bursts forth from the depths of the sea.

This was a giant sea monster, its size was too exaggerated. When Luo Zhen looked up, he could only see a large shadow. The waves it stirred up made the enterprise and Luo Zhen stumble.

Without further ado, the company launched an attack, and the sea monster let out a series of painful roars.

"Should we continue to conceal our strength, or unleash our full power?"

The enterprise asked, "The situation has changed; I need the commander's orders."

"Your attack worked. It's fine to continue hiding. Let's use our current strength to wear it down."

The advantage of ship girls lies in their mobility.

Compared to bulky, massive ships, human-sized ship girls are much more agile, thus allowing for a wider range of combat strategies.

What warships can do, ship girls can do too; what warships cannot do, ship girls can also do.

Sometimes, the ship girls can also unleash some unexpected moves, like the previous "Enterprise taking a plane".

Although the sea monster possessed intelligence, it was too large. Luo Zhen and Enterprise worked together to pull and tug at the monster.

At this point, Luo Zhen discovered an even deeper characteristic...

“I am closely connected with the company, and under these circumstances, our cooperation feels seamless.”

No need for subtle gestures or eye contact; a mere thought is all it takes for the two parties to exchange ideas.

So they maintained a low output level and completely annihilated the terrifying sea monsters in front of them, and the battle finally came to an end.

Back at their base, there were some fish-man corpses on the shore, which were naturally dealt with by Amagi and Prince Eugen; they were just some low-level fish-men.

Luo Zhen explained the previous battle situation to Tiancheng and asked the strategist to help analyze it.

"Their target is the commander, or, to be precise, 'humans.' The flooding and the sea monsters' deliberate targeting all confirm this."

"It's as if there's a big hand controlling everything behind the scenes. If nothing unexpected happens, the subsequent offensive will be even stronger."

After some analysis, Tiancheng concluded that he had very little information, but the conclusion should be roughly correct. (The remaining text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the preceding sentences.)

The enemy's intelligence continues to grow, and there are even more dangerous entities lurking behind the scenes.

"We need more information. Before exploring the world of One Piece, we need to go out and explore some areas."

Luo Zhen said that this was something he had wanted to do for a while.

"Then let the company and Prince Eugen set off."

Everyone could hear the strategist using the abacus.

"So you're going to be all alone here at the base, spending time with the commander? Is that really okay?"

Enterprise curled its lip. It used to think that Amagi was a "teammate", but now it seems that the Sakura Empire people are really too bad. They will sneak up and stab you in the back whenever they have the chance.

“Prince Eugen and I will go. I hereby appoint Amagi as the secretary ship. You will be in charge of command while I am away. Enterprise is the strongest among us and can ensure the safety of the base.”

"I can project carrier-based aircraft to carry out the exploration."

Luo Zhen made the following plan, his voice firm and powerful.

"Who knows what unexpected situations might arise outside? I'll take over."

The company stated that she did not want Luo Zhen to be in a dangerous situation.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I understand this world better than you do, and I'm also quite clear on how to explore it."

"Moreover, Prince Eugen will be with me, so my combat strength will be guaranteed, and I can escape in time if I encounter danger."

Luo Zhen's words make a lot of sense; if he were to explore, the efficiency would likely be higher.

"Reassure the Commander's safety to me. You all should leave our time alone together."

Prince Eugen smiled, put his arm around Luo Zhen's waist, and struck a pose that said "beauty is only meant for the strong."

"Since this is the commander's decision, and it does make some sense, let's do it this way."

Amagi nodded, agreeing to the arrangement.

Now that things have come to this, even if the company is unhappy, it has no choice but to accept it.
