Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Waaaaah... Doctor!" Robin hugged Dr. Chloe and cried.

“Mr. Giant, although I don’t know what your relationship with Robin is, but… I’m entrusting Robin to you!” Dr. Crohar moved and looked at the giant Salong, saying.

"I captured your expedition team, and I secretly released one of them. Didn't he come back to inform you?" Salong asked incredulously, looking at Dr. Kuroha lying in a pool of blood.

“No, he’s back! He’s inside the Tree of Knowledge right now!” Dr. Kuroh said with a smile.

"Then...why didn't you run away?" Salong asked, puzzled.

"Knowledge needs to be protected, even at the cost of one's life!" Dr. Kuroha said firmly.

Salong's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and he said, "You are all great people!"

“No, Mr. Giant… I have a request that will put you in a difficult position. Robin is still young, she is still a child, and she should not be buried here with us. Please! Take her away!” Dr. Croha pleaded.

"I will do my utmost!" Salong nodded and said earnestly.

“That puts my mind at ease! Robin... remember what I told you!” Dr. Croha said, then closed his eyes.

"No... Doctor! Doctor!" Robin cried out to Dr. Croha while in Saul's arms.

In her heart, Dr. Kuroha was her adoptive father, and her feelings for him were very sincere.

“Robin, you must be proud of Ohara! You are all amazing! The history of this island will depend on you to carry on! Robin, Ohara has fought against the whole world!” Salong said to Robin in his hand while dodging cannonballs.

"Boom..." Just then, a naval shell hit Salong, but fortunately Salong protected Robin in time, preventing her from being injured.

So Salong sent Robin to a refugee ship, while he stayed behind to fight the Navy.

However, the people on the refugee ship wouldn't let Robin board. Spandam also recognized Robin and knew she was also a historian, so he ordered CP9 to attack her.

To prevent the refugee ship from being damaged, Robin had no choice but to leave.

"Damn it, those CP9s are in the way!" Upon seeing this, Salong charged toward the CP9 warship.

Just as Salong was about to attack, a familiar voice rang out.

"Aokiji Kuzan!" Salong looked behind him with a grim expression.

"How pathetic! The one who stopped the Navy's Buster Call was actually the Navy, Saron!" Kuzan, now a Vice Admiral, slowly walked over and said.

"Was all of this right? Kuzan, did you feel there was any honor involved in that attack just now?" Salong knelt on the ground and said to the appearing Aokiji, "It's strange! You should know that what we're doing now is wrong, and it shouldn't be seen, right?"

"This is for the sake of the future world. There's no other way; these scholars shouldn't have broken the rules!" Kuzan said calmly.

"Boom boom boom..."

But at that very moment, the refugee boat that had just left the coast was blown up, and everyone on board perished; not a single person survived.

Aokiji, Salong, and Robin stared in disbelief at the blasted-away refugee ship, which was filled with civilians.

"That bastard!" Kuzan immediately spotted the warship that had fired the cannons; it was none other than Vice Admiral Sakazuki.

"Is this the justice you uphold? Even so... can you still tolerate it?" Salong seized the opportunity to punch Kuzan and roared loudly.

“Such foolish behavior won’t work!” Kuzan retorted, dodging Salong’s attack.

"Run, Robin! This guy is too strong, I'm no match for him!" Salong seized the opportunity to let Robin escape.

"What about Nasalon?"

"I'll stay and fight him!"

"No! Salong, let's run together!"

Robin looked at Salong, hoping he would leave with him.

Ice Age!

Just then, Kuzan froze Salong and slowly walked towards Robin.

"Robin, run! As long as there's a road, keep running! One day, you will inherit Ohara's legacy! You are Ohara's hope! Run! Don't look back!" Salong, frozen in ice, shouted at Robin.

Crying and too astonished to look back, Robin continued to run forward until she reached the shore, where she discovered that the powerful Marine known as Aokiji Kuzan was already waiting for her.

"When a person is pursuing their own sense of justice, they become frenzied, causing you to escape from this island. What will become of the seed that Salong protected... It doesn't matter who you hate... Just live well!"

“Sail along the ice on the sea, and you’ll reach the next island. I’ll keep an eye on you!” Kuzan said to Robin before leaving.

Crying, Robin boarded the small boat by herself. She felt very scared and lonely, but she remembered what Salong had said: the sadder you are, the more you should face it with a smile. So she forced herself to laugh out loud, but she started crying again as she laughed.

So, eight-year-old Robin once again lived a life on the run, just like in the original story. However, Reina was unaware of all this; he was still near Impel Down, waiting for Shiki the Golden Lion to escape.

He planned to use the opportunity of Smith's prison break to kill Deputy Commissioner Magellan.

On this day, as usual, Reina, who was watching Impel Down from his rooftop, suddenly noticed something strange about Impel Down.

"So it's finally here? Magellan... It's time for you to pay the price! Olvia..." Reina's eyes flashed, and he sent Slippery directly towards Impel Down.

"Boom!"

"Hehehehe... I'm out again!" Shiki the Golden Lion, with blood constantly flowing from his legs, flew out of Impel Down.

"Halt, Shiki the Golden Lion! I won't let you succeed!" A poisonous dragon chased after Shiki from behind, and just as it was about to strike Shiki, a slash froze the poisonous dragon.

"Who?" Magellan was shocked; he hadn't expected that Shiki would have accomplices.

"Hehehe... Magellan... Long time no see... You haven't... forgotten me, have you!" Reina, standing on the top of the swan, slowly approached Impel Down and said with a light laugh.

"Rayner?" Magellan and Shiki both looked at Rayner in surprise; neither of them expected Rayner to appear at this time.

"Brother Shiki, it's been so many years, what happened to you? Leave this to me! You can go now!" Reina smiled slightly at Shiki and said.

Although Shiki was confused about the situation, he nodded to Reina upon hearing this, and then floated away from the air.

Magellan wanted to give chase, but with Reina watching him closely, he dared not be distracted.

"Rena, since you dared to come, then don't leave! Take Shiki's place in Impel Down!" Magellan, now in his Venom form, shouted at Rena.

"Hehehehe... How many years has it been? Magellan, you haven't forgotten what I said back then about taking your head, have you?" Reina pointed at Magellan with Hyōrinmaru in his hand, speaking in a strange tone.

"Then you should try it! Poison Dragons!" As Magellan finished speaking, five poison dragons appeared behind him and pounced directly on Reina.

"This kind of thing...didn't we already try it? It's useless! Sharingan...activate!" Reina activated his Mangekyou Sharingan directly, took a step and jumped off Liu Liu's head, first unleashing several slashes, and then rushed directly towards Magellan.

As for the five poisonous dragons, they were directly frozen by Reina's slash.

"Poisonous pufferfish!" Magellan released venom from his body as he retreated.

"Seated atop the frost-covered heavens! Hyōrinmaru!" While still in the air, Reina activated Hyōrinmaru's Shikai mode, and a slender dragon rushed straight towards Magellan, freezing all the venom in its path.

"Poison Giant Soldier - Judgment of Hell!" Seeing Reina use his ability, Magellan also activated his strongest move, transforming into a giant skeleton and using venom to directly neutralize the ice dragon.

"It's no use! Today, you will die! Ice Dragon Whirlwind Tail - Skybreaker!"

"Crack, crack..." Reina's attack struck Magellan.

Although the part that was hit was frozen, Magellan, being a poison man, indeed abandoned that part of his body and then reconstructed a new body with venom.

“It’s no use…you can’t defeat me now!” Magellan said softly, looking at the astonished Reiner.

"Is that so? A mere Devil Fruit user dares to talk such big words?" Reina smiled contemptuously.

He hadn't expected Magellan to have such an ability, but now that he knew, he wouldn't let the other party dodge so easily next time.

"It's you again?"

Just as Reina was preparing to attack again, Hannibal, Shiliu, and others, along with a large number of jailers, chased after him. As soon as they came out, they saw Reina fighting Magellan.

"Hahaha... Just in time! Pressure control!" Seeing the jailers come out, Reina laughed loudly and immediately activated the pupil technique of his left eye.

A wave of energy emanated from Reina.

"Oh no! You all need to get out of here!"

Magellan, as if struck by a sudden thought, immediately turned around and shouted to all the jailers.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The jailers who had just chased after them stood frozen in place, their eyes vacant.

"Now it's your time to shine! Kill them!" Reina commanded the jailers, his left eye gleaming red.

The jailers, controlled by Reiner, were like puppets, raising their weapons and charging towards Magellan.

"Despicable bastard!" Magellan had no choice but to retreat, otherwise his poison gas would kill the jailers.

"Despicable? There's something even more despicable! Want to see it? But are these... any more despicable than when you attacked an unarmed woman back then?" Reina roared in fury upon hearing Magellan's words.

Magellan ignored Reiner and instead dodged the guards' attacks, but even so, guards continued to collapse from poisoning.

"Slash!" Suddenly, Shiryu of the Rain made his move, slashing at Reina with his sword.

"You better not get in my way, or I won't mind taking you down first!" Reina dodged Shiryu's slash, glanced at him sideways, and said.

"Magellan, if you're still worried about the lives of those jailers at a time like this, Impel Down is doomed!" Shiryu ignored Reina and instead shouted at Magellan, who was constantly retreating.

Magellan, who had been retreating, was taken aback. Then, with a roar, he covered all the jailers with his venom and shouted at Hannibal, "Go get the antidote! The antidote is in my office!"

"Hahaha... Didn't you say there was no antidote? Magellan, prepare to die!" Reina dodged Shiryu with his sword and then went straight for Magellan.

Chapter 149 Falling short of success

"Damn it, how could he be so strong?" Shiryu's eyes were now blurred with blood.

With his and Magellan's combined efforts, they barely managed to withstand Reina's attack. If Reina hadn't been so focused on killing Magellan and instead tried to kill him first, he would probably have already become a victim of Reina's blade.

Little did he know that if Reina hadn't borrowed a significant amount of his energy, he wouldn't have been able to suppress Magellan so effectively.

Although Magellan is not at his peak strength yet, he has already shown strength comparable to a Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters. It won't be easy for Reina to defeat and kill him.

Moreover, Shiryu of the Rain, a master swordsman, was also present. If the two hadn't been unfamiliar with Reina's abilities, they wouldn't have been so severely suppressed by Reina.

Meanwhile, Reina, his body covered in a layer of purple energy, continued to attack Magellan.

Magellan dared not confront Reyna head-on, and could only dodge and rely on Shiryu's restraint on Reyna to catch his breath.

However, Shiryu's attacks on Reyna had no effect whatsoever. Whether he slashed or stabbed Reyna directly, the latter seemed completely unaffected, and Shiryu's attacks on Magellan became even more ferocious.

"Huh? The reinforcements arrived so quickly?" Just then, Reina glanced at the huge Gate of Justice in the distance and saw that the previously closed Gate of Justice had been opened, which meant that the reinforcements from the Navy Headquarters had arrived.

"Since that's the case, then it's time for us to make a clean break! Hyōrinmaru... Bankai!" Reina slightly increased the distance between himself and Magellan, raised Hyōrinmaru in his hand, and shouted.

Reina's aura surged, and the arm holding Hyōrinmaru began to freeze. Then, the ice grew along Reina's body, sprouting a pair of huge ice wings on his back.

Behind Reina, a giant ice dragon slowly emerged, with three huge ice flowers floating in the air beside it.

"What...what is that?" On a warship heading towards Impel Down, a naval soldier pointed at the giant ice dragon that had suddenly appeared in the direction of Impel Down and asked in surprise.
