Elder brother's garrison

Montana held a basket in one hand and pressed down on the exoskeleton legs beneath him with the other.

chi chi-

With a hiss of steam, several buttons on the exoskeleton's legs, which were connected to Montana, opened.

Montana moved from side to side, pulling her legs out of the exoskeleton's power system.

This was the first time Xiaobai had seen Montana's legs.

The sea temperature is unusually cold tonight.

Montana's legs, clad in black stockings, emerged from the power system, radiating a faint warmth in mid-air. She sat on the railing, her long, supple legs crossed, her feet resting on the entrance to the exoskeleton power system. A few delicate, slender toes could be vaguely seen through the black stockings at the toes of her feet.

Xiao Bai stared at Montana's feet for a long time.

"Let me clarify first, I'm a ship girl, I don't have smelly feet," Montana said to White. "This white stuff isn't a strange smell, it's just pure heat."

“I know.” Little White smiled at Montana.

Chapter 2996 Montana's Abilities

Montana sat on the railing of the yacht, her long, black-stockinged legs crossed as she pedaled the power system. She held a basket and grabbed slices of pizza from it, eating them in large bites.

"You can eat slowly." Xiaobai took out a bottle of mineral water from the ship's equipment space and handed it to Montana.

“Eat slowly, it’ll get cold.” Montana shook her head, chewing on her pizza. She glanced at the bottled water Xiaobai handed her, then looked up at Xiaobai and asked, “Do you have any beer?”

"Uh...no, no..."

“There’s some on the yacht, can you bring it to me?” Montana smiled and pointed to the supply box next to him.

Following Montana's hand, Xiaobai looked towards the supply crates and, sure enough, among the supply crates lined up on the deck, found some cardboard boxes marked "Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol".

Xiao Bai tugged at his tactical jacket, walked up to the cardboard boxes, and gently shook them.

Geleng geleng—

A crisp sound of glass clinking came from inside the cardboard box.

Xiao Bai opened the cardboard box and looked inside. Sure enough, the box was neatly lined with dark green beer bottles.

These admirals in Chapter 8 are really willing to give away any kind of supplies just to please Montana...

Xiao Bai thought to himself, bent down, picked up the two bottles of beer, and walked back to Montana's side.

"Montana, here you go."

"Hmm." Montana took a bottle of beer, but instead of drinking it right away, she smiled and looked at Xiaobai without saying a word.

"...?" Xiaobai blinked. "What's wrong?"

"My tactical jacket looks a bit like a skirt when you wear it."

"Ah..." Xiaobai cupped her cheeks in her hands, looking a little flustered. "I...I'm not as tall as you..."

"Quite good looking."

Montana's slender hand gripped the top of the beer bottle, and her thumb gently flicked the cap.

There was a loud popping sound.

The beer bottle cap flew into the air like a bullet and then landed steadily in the basket.

Montana picked up the beer bottle, tilted his head back, and took two big gulps. The traces of swallowing could be seen on his long, white neck.

The smell of alcohol drifted on the sea breeze to Xiaobai's side.

Xiao Bai subconsciously took a step back.

"Don't you like drinking?" Montana noticed Xiaobai's little movements, put down the empty beer bottle, and asked Xiaobai.

"Ah... well, I guess so..." Xiao Bai thought for a moment, then gave Montana a wry smile, "I can't drink alcohol."

"Minor?"

"I'm an adult."

"Not quite like it."

“You’re really an adult now.” Xiaobai stepped forward and said seriously.

"If you say so, then so be it." Montana put down his empty beer bottle and started eating again, taking big bites.

Xiaobai handed the remaining bottle of beer to Montana.

Montana nodded as he ate, took the beer bottle but didn't open it. He simply placed it next to his bottom, letting the biting, cold sea wind beat against it and make it wobble.

In just a few bites, Montana finally finished the food in the basket.

After finishing his meal, Montana placed the basket on his flat stomach, held onto the railing with both hands, leaned back, wrapped his legs around the railing, and stretched his upper body out of the yacht, gazing at the sky and letting out a long sigh.

"Um"

"This food is so delicious!"

Montana stretched while suspended in mid-air, then pulled back into his arms with his basket, and smiled at Little White.

"Pachina, thank you for bringing me dinner."

"I didn't cook the meal, but I'll help you convey her thanks," Xiaobai said with a smile as she took the basket.

“Alright,” Montana nodded.

As the sea breeze blew, Montana's twin ponytails swayed in the wind.

Perhaps because she had just finished drinking, Montana's fair and delicate cheeks were slightly flushed. She squinted at Xiaobai, and the smile on her lips gave her a dreamlike beauty.

Montana looks much gentler now than when she was burning with golden flames.

Does she show this expression to everyone?

Or... is it only for myself?

Xiaobai stared at Montana's face, then lowered her head and hugged her basket tightly, feeling the warmth from her tactical jacket. She couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Montana."

"Ok?"

“I saw your battle with those black-robed ship girls.”

"and then?"

"So... when you were fighting those black-robed ship girls just now, I was worried that they might do something to you because your equipment was destroyed by the EMP grenades." Xiaobai thought for a while and asked Montana curiously, "But I didn't expect that you would use an ability even more terrifying than that equipment later on—are those things that look like an army of robots your true power?"

"..."

Montana didn't answer Xiaobai. She just held onto the railing with both hands, crossed her legs on the power system, and looked at her with a half-smile.

"Ah... I'm one of your challengers too, so this counts as spying, right?" Xiaobai realized what was happening and scratched her head sheepishly. "Never mind, never mind, I'd better not ask about this kind of thing."

Upon hearing this, Montana's smile widened even more.

Actually—what I'm telling you isn't anything special.

After Xiaobai backed down, Montana became more generous. She nodded to Xiaobai and said slowly.

“These tactical jackets, tactical helmets, power systems—these auxiliary tools—they weren’t originally my abilities; they were just equipment that appeared in this era with me.” Montana stretched out his palm, gently rubbing the power system beneath him, and looked up at Little White, saying, “In other words, as long as I transfer the authority to use these devices to you, you can easily do what I was able to do before.”

"so smart?"

"Want to try?"

"I want I want!"

"I'll let you try these out once I've fixed them." Montana smiled at Xiaobai, then withdrew her hand and continued, "As a ship girl, at the moment of birth, your brain is filled with a lot of common sense and knowledge—but surprisingly, the knowledge and common sense I was given at birth doesn't seem to belong to this era. In my common sense, the era I should have lived in should have been a more technologically advanced place with a more futuristic setting. In that era I should have existed in, every ship girl warrior like me possessed similar tactical equipment."

"The future world is amazing!" Xiaobai exclaimed.

“It might not be the future world.” Montana thought for a moment, then rested her chin on her hand and shouted into the distance, “Actually, I’ve been thinking about something these past few days, and that is… maybe the world I know doesn’t exist.”

"does not exist?"

“After all, I only have common sense and knowledge about that world. Beyond that, I don’t know much about it. In other words, I don’t have a real sense of that world.” Montana shook his head at Little White and said slowly, “It’s like a dream.”

"..." Xiaobai blinked and quietly looked at Montana.

“It seems we’ve gone a bit off-topic.” Montana thought for a moment, then turned to Little White and smiled. She stretched out her snow-white arm and spread her five fingers. “Let’s continue talking about my story. Actually, my true power is this.”

A flame burst forth from Montana's palm as he finished speaking.

It was a golden flame.

Xiao Bai subconsciously stepped forward and looked at the golden flame in Montana's hand.

Golden flames burned fiercely in Montana's palm. As the flames burned, there was no change in temperature, as if they were a phantom. Even when the sea breeze blew, the flames that leaped on the ball of fire did not fluctuate at all.

"Montana, what is this?"

“I haven’t named this ability yet,” Montana said, flicking his hand to the side. “As for the effects of this ability… as you can see.”

Montana casually tossed the golden flame onto the deck.

With a whoosh, the flames began to burn and spread. In just a few breaths, the golden flames grew from a small ball of fire into a raging sea of ​​golden flames, engulfing the entire yacht.

"Hey? Montana, why are you suddenly burning the ship—" Little White was startled by Montana's actions and quickly hid from the flames on the ground.

“It’s alright, didn’t you notice that this flame isn’t hot at all?” Montana said to Xiaobai with a smile.

"Huh? It's not hot..." Xiaobai stopped dodging after hearing Montana's words.

No matter what, Xiaobai was once a weak and helpless human girl. Based on her more than ten years of experience as a human girl, Xiaobai would naturally and instinctively dodge the flickering flames.

After Montana said it wasn't hot, Xiaobai noticed that even though the entire yacht was covered and spread with golden flames, surprisingly, neither the flammable materials on the deck nor the piles of supplies were damaged by the flames. Everything was perfectly preserved and bathed in the golden flames.

It really is... a peculiar sight.

"What kind of fire is this?" Xiaobai asked, puzzled.

“This is not fire,” Montana said to Little White. “This is my ship equipment, or to be more precise, it is a free form that is formed by the disintegration of my ship equipment and aggregated together under the guidance of the phase array.”

"Uh... what was it again?"

As Xiaobai listened to Montana's words, he felt as if the CPU in his brain was starting to burn out.

“If you were to compare my ship equipment to puzzle pieces, these flames would be the pieces of the puzzle.” Montana smiled and continued to explain to Little White, “This is my ability; I can control these things.”

Chapter 2997 Nanotechnology, Girl

"Oh... I think I understand." Xiaobai nodded in confusion as Montana explained, saying with a hint of understanding, "So these flames are fragments of your ship's equipment."

“That’s one way to understand it,” Montana nodded.

"The mechanical army that appeared on the sea earlier, including that giant tank ship you summoned..."

“That is the true form of my ship equipment.” Montana said to Xiaobai. “Normally I only use a portion of my ship equipment—the two cubes I’ve been carrying on my back. In reality, most of my ship equipment is hidden in the ship equipment space. I just released them all in the battle just now.”

"Nanomechanics...won't they be affected by EMP?"

"Even nanomechanicals are essentially my ship equipment. The ship equipment of ship girls is different from ordinary technological products, so of course it is not affected by EMP."

"Your ship equipment... why does it have so many summoned creatures attached?"

“I also find it strange.” Montana thought for a while and said to Xiaobai, “Actually, in my understanding, my ship equipment is not like this. I can indeed summon mechanical warriors, but at most I can only summon six or seven warriors of similar level to me. But perhaps because I was born as a salvage ship girl, my abilities have been greatly enhanced to some extent, resulting in my ship equipment being larger than I thought, and there is also a lot more nanomaterial used to summon these mechanical soldiers.”

"Ah... I see, I've heard of that before." Xiaobai nodded quickly when he heard Montana say that.

Montana's words really hit the nail on the head.

The reason why the three special ship girls on Holy Day are exceptionally powerful is because all three of them have received some degree of enhancement in their abilities.

Take, for example, building ship girls, like Jean Bart.

Jean Bart once confessed to Xiaobai that her invisibility ability was actually only meant to reduce her presence by about 30%.

This is Jean Bart's perception of his own abilities.

This is also the absolute limit that Jean Bart should have achieved.

Jean Bart's abilities were only enhanced to the point of eliminating all traces of her presence after she was born as a special ship girl.

"So, Montana, your ability is these flames—nanomechanicals?" Little White looked at the flames around him and asked Montana for confirmation. "With these flames composed of nanomechanicals, you can summon a massive mechanical army, one person forming an army."

"My abilities are not limited to that."

"Oh—there's something else?"

"Nanotechnology is called nanotechnology because these things are like basic entities with all possibilities. As long as I use them correctly, they have infinite possibilities." Montana opened his palm to Little White, clenched his fist in the air, and flames instantly rose up around him. Several flames then rushed into Montana's hand and formed a submachine gun in the blink of an eye.
