Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Oh no! It's that kid Reina!" Karp, standing on the deck, frowned as he recognized that the giant dragon was created by Reina.

Sengoku, along with Vice Admirals Sakazuki and Kuzan, went to the Western Blue to carry out a mission, while he remained at the Naval Headquarters.

After hearing about the Golden Lion's prison break, he came to check on the situation as one of the main forces that captured the Golden Lion. Unexpectedly, he saw Reina's signature move as soon as he passed through the Gate of Justice.

Meanwhile, Magellan and Shiryu, facing Reina head-on, were in a difficult situation. They were already struggling to hold off Reina, and now he was even using his ultimate move, which was simply bullying them.

"Step back!" Magellan glanced at the panting Shiryu and said softly.

Reina's target has always been him; as long as the two are separated, Shiryu still has a chance to save his life.

Shiryu was clearly not a selfless person either; upon hearing this, he immediately dodged to the side, leaving Magellan alone to face Reyna, who had unleashed her ultimate attack.

"Hyōrinmaru - Ryūsōka!" Reina, wielding Hyōrinmaru, thrust his sword straight at Magellan. The enormous ice dragon behind him seemed to merge with him, and the tip of his blade radiated a powerful icy force that seemed to freeze the air itself.

"Poison - Hell Judgment!" Magellan took a deep breath, gathered all the venom in his body, and charged directly at Reina.

"Pfft~"

"Click~ Click~~"

When the venom came into contact with the blade, the entire venom was frozen, and the ice even froze Magellan along with the venom.

"I told you... one day I'd take your head!" Reina slowly withdrew Hyōrinmaru, which had been deactivated from its Bankai state, and then walked toward Magellan, who was now frozen.

Shiryu, who had escaped unscathed, swallowed hard. The entrance to Impel Down had become like Winter Isle, covered in frost. A large ice sculpture there was Magellan, who had just fought Reyna.

When he saw Reiner walking toward Magellan, Hie instinctively took a step back, seemingly too afraid to continue fighting Reiner.

"So... are you ready to say goodbye to the world? My enemy... Magellan!" Reina spoke as he was already in the air. The navy reinforcements had arrived, and he didn't want to waste any time. The most important thing now was to completely eliminate Magellan.

"when!"

Hyōrinmaru was blocked by a pair of fists, and Reina knew that his wish to personally cut off the other's head was going to be in vain.

“Garp… I didn’t expect it to be you!” Reina’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Garp, who was blocking his Hyōrinmaru, and said.

“Reina…is it really you! Did you and Shiki work together?” After avoiding Reina, Garp glanced back at Magellan, who was now frozen in ice, and said with an ambiguous expression.

“Cooperation? You could say that!” Reina exhaled and said, “So now it’s your turn to stand in my way?”

“Of course! I won’t let you kill Magellan!” Karp nodded and said.

"Then let's give it a try!"

Reina's right eye suddenly flashed eerily. Garp was stunned. By the time he came to his senses, Reina was already in front of him. Garp had no time to defend himself and could only dodge. However, Hyōrinmaru still left a bloody mark on his shoulder.

"No one can stop me today!" Leaving Karp, Reina headed straight for the frozen Magellan, determined to kill him completely.

"I won't let you succeed!" Garp's fist followed closely. If Reina insisted on attacking the frozen Magellan, he would inevitably be hit by Garp as well.

"boom!"

Karp's fist struck Reina first, but Reina used the impact to crash directly into the frozen Magellan.

"Crack... Crash..." Reina's body smashed through one of Magellan's frozen arms.

"Cough cough... Ouch!"

Reina, who had just stood up from the ground, couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He had already expended a lot of energy in his previous battles with Magellan and Shiryu, and now facing Garp, whom he was already no match for, he had no chance of winning at all. If it weren't for his desire to take Magellan's head, he should have retreated long ago.

"Magellan... you're lucky this time, but next time... it won't be so easy!" After glaring fiercely at Garp, who was guarding Magellan, Reina had no choice but to retreat.

Seeing Reyna leave, Karp did not choose to pursue him. Instead, he ordered someone to quickly unfreeze Magellan and have a doctor come to treat him.

With Reina's departure, the Golden Lion's prison break incident can be considered to have come to an end.

Indeed, apart from a few people directly involved, including Shiki the Golden Lion himself, everyone thought that Reyner chose that time to attack Impel Down in order to cover his escape.

Shiki, now free, made a special trip to Whitebeard's pirate ship to express his gratitude and tell Whitebeard and Reyna that he planned to disappear for a while because the sea was just too boring.

Knowing what Shiki was up to, Reina didn't say anything, only that he had repaid the debt of gratitude he owed Shiki for taking care of him on the Rocks ship.

Just like Shiki the Golden Lion's prison break, the destruction of Ohara, the gathering place of historians in the West Blue, also shocked the world. Along with this event, the news that eight-year-old Nico Robin had a bounty of 79 million was also spread around the world.

Reina, who was recuperating on the ship, remained silent for a while after learning that Ohara had still been destroyed by the Buster Call.

He had warned them long ago not to touch the main historical text, but it seems the scholars did not heed his advice.

Although that was Olvia's hometown, Olvia is no longer here, so there's no need for Reina to do anything more.

Seeing that Robin looked almost exactly like the one in the original story, he simply marveled at the power of the plot and never doubted that Robin was Olvia and his child.

Originally, as the child of Olvia's younger brother, Reina did consider taking Robin in and caring for her himself. However, considering that she was a future member of the main characters, he did not try to change her fate. In his opinion, although Robin had a very miserable time, it was also the best training for her abilities.

Of course, he didn't know that Robin was his child. Otherwise, given his personality, he probably would have brought Robin back long ago. As for the main characters and such, he wouldn't care.

At this time in Wano Country, Oden also learned of Roger's death from Orochi and Kaido. Looking at the conversation between Roger and Reyna in the newspaper, Oden ran along the beach crying, then laughed, then cried again.

"Roger...you are truly...amazing! What an amazing life!" Having followed Roger to the final island, he naturally understood the meaning behind Roger's words, which is why he admired Roger even more.

Aside from Kozuki Oden of Wano Country, various events, both minor and major, are unfolding around the world, setting the wheels of fate in motion and ensuring the story unfolds according to its original script, except for the unpredictable factor of Reina.

On this day, after spending a day on a small island, Whitebeard, who was preparing to set sail, learned from a tavern passenger something that made him somewhat furious.

"You mean Fishman Island is in complete chaos right now? Anyone can go there and capture those fishmen?" Whitebeard stared at the pirate in front of him and asked softly.

"Um... I... I heard about it too!" The other person clearly recognized the white beard and was speaking somewhat incoherently.

"Big brother, do you want me to go to Fishman Island?" Reina naturally understood Whitebeard's meaning, so he stepped forward and asked.

"No need, I'll go myself!" Whitebeard said, leaving the tavern and announcing that the Whitebeard Pirates would set sail immediately.

The pirate from before had collapsed to the ground, watching Whitebeard and his crew leave. He swallowed hard, relieved that he hadn't said anything wrong.

Chapter 150 The Charm of Ludo

"I never imagined that the Whitebeard Pirates would have a connection with Shiki the Golden Lion! They actually rescued Shiki from that deep-sea prison!" Little Robin, who was hiding on a street corner, suddenly heard people talking about the Whitebeard Pirates.

She glanced over instinctively and saw two middle-aged men holding newspapers and discussing the news.

These days, she's been on the run, betraying or being betrayed, with nowhere she can find a safe haven.

Picking up the newspapers the two had discarded from the ground, Robin finally saw the news in the newspaper.

In addition to the destruction of Ohara, there was also news that Akame Reyner appeared in Impel Down and rescued Shiki the Golden Lion.

Looking at the incredibly powerful Reiner in the newspaper, Robin's tears flowed again, and she whispered, "How can I find you?! How will you view me, a daughter who shouldn't even exist?"

Yes, after this period of experience, Robin's heart was filled with darkness. She seemed to have become less trusting of anyone and was always on guard against everyone.

She didn't even know if she should go looking for Reina, because if Reina didn't acknowledge her or didn't want to care about her after she met him, then what should she do?

Furthermore, she is now a target of the World Government, and she is unsure whether her past actions might have caused trouble for Reina.

But as long as she couldn't find Reina, she still harbored a sliver of hope that she could attribute all the qualities of a good father to Reina, using it for comfort and fantasy.

So Robin was filled with anxiety; she didn't know what to do.

So when I saw Reina in the newspaper, I felt both happy and a little apprehensive.

Meanwhile, Reina, completely unaware of the situation, was following Whitebeard to Fishman Island.

"Huh? You mean this Crocodile once challenged Big Brother? Is he crazy? He doesn't even know Haki and he dared to challenge Big Brother?" On the ship, by chance, the crew members talked about Crocodile, the user of the Sand-Sand Fruit.

It was only then that Reina learned that during his training on Skypiea, Crocodile, then a super rookie, had challenged Whitebeard, just like Gecko Moria had challenged Kaido, and had suffered a crushing defeat.

"You know this person?" Marco asked in surprise.

“Yes, I encountered it before when I went to the East China Sea. It attacked me out of the blue. I thought it was a challenger. I didn’t know there was such a connection!” Reina nodded and said in recollection.

Back when he was outside the capital of Alabasta, he encountered Crocodile and taught this future Shichibukai, who was killed off by plot, a lesson.

"Hey~~ Reina! Shall we have a party? This is so boring!" Lacou called out listlessly to Reina from the side.

Because this was a purposeful voyage, they rarely stopped at the small islands they passed, except to replenish supplies. As a result, the long voyage left the crew somewhat exhausted.

"Open again? Didn't we just open last night? No way! We're almost at Fishman Island, and there might be a big battle. Everyone should get some rest and be in good spirits! We were saved by those guys on Fishman Island back then, and we can't forget to repay that kindness!" Reina shook his head and said.

“I know… but… it’s so boring!” Apart from Jozu, the other captains and crew members hung themselves off the ship’s side like dried salted fish.

"Ah~~ I really..." Reina put a hand to his forehead, truly impressed by them.

"Glug glug... Reina, this won't work either. Why don't you continue telling them stories?" Whitebeard took a sip of his drink and said to Reina.

He could also see that the crew members did indeed seem rather idle.

Reina's face darkened. He knew that the stories had been told almost completely, not only Water Margin, but also Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

However, when the topic of Romance of the Three Kingdoms came up, he suddenly remembered something he had played with as a child. His eyes lit up, and he said to the crew, "Wait here, I'm going to get something!"

After saying that, he ran back to the cabin.

The crew members were already used to it; Reina's room was like a treasure trove, and he would take out some new gadgets from it every now and then.

The members have gone treasure hunting inside more than once while Reina is away, but they have never found anything.

"Ta-da~~~" Soon, Reina returned from the cabin, holding a cardboard box in his hand. He proudly proclaimed, "This is the game that has swept the world and is known as the ultimate way to kill time—Flying Chess!"

"Flying Chess?" The crew members walked over curiously, even Whitebeard, who craned his neck to look at Reina.

“First, let me explain the rules of the game to you…” Reina opened a board of Ludo and then told them how to play.

"That simple?" After hearing the rules, Marco asked with some doubt, "This thing looks like something for kids to play with?"

"Easy? Hmph... You'll know once you try it. Ludo has its own charm!" Reina said, pursing his lips.

Because Reina only redeemed one set of Ludo, only four people could play at a time. Since it was the first time and no one knew how to play, Lacjo, Hansen, Olga, and Marco were sent to make their debut, while the rest of the crew watched.

As a prize for the winner, Reina specially brought out a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), which immediately boosted everyone's enthusiasm.

"666, 666!! Give me a six!"

"Haha... I'll eat you up, now go back!"

"Ugh... How unlucky! I've already reached the finish line, but I just can't get in!"

Before long, the four of them started to get lively. Marco, who had just said it was just a child's game, began to get anxious after Hansen and Olga captured his planes on the board.

"Idiot, don't take that plane, take this one!"

"Captain Marco, your hands are terrible! Not a single six?"

Meanwhile, the crew members watching were also very interested and offered suggestions to the contestants on the field.
