Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"you you……"

While making a prophecy for Reina, Xia Li opened her eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood. She looked at Reina with a hint of horror, unable to utter a word.

"You bastard! What did you do to my sister!" When Ah Long saw Xia Li vomiting blood, he immediately jumped up, grabbed Reina's collar, and asked sharply.

"Slap!" Reina slapped Arlong's hands away, straightened his clothes, looked at Arlong, and said, "Kid, remember, before you have the strength to fight against a strong person, don't be so impulsive, otherwise... you'll die!"

He activated his Sharingan as he spoke, and the eerie red eyes not only made Arlong tremble, but even Jinbe, who was standing next to him, was startled.

“Brother Reina, I’m sorry, Arlong didn’t mean it. He was just worried about Shirley! What did you do to Shirley?” Although Jinbe was also a little scared, he still stood in front of Arlong, looked directly into Reina’s eyes, and said.

Reina chuckled, deactivated his Sharingan, sat down, looked at Shirley on the ground, and said, "Now tell me, what did you see? You know, I haven't done anything from now until now!"

"It's none of your business!" With Jinbe's help, Shirley stood up again, shook his head, and said to Reina, "I didn't see anything about your future. I only saw a starry sky and... a black hole that seemed capable of swallowing everything!"

"Stars and black holes?" Xia Li's words puzzled Reina. Although he came from a different dimension, or rather, a different world, what did this have to do with stars and black holes? Did he encounter a black hole on Earth and thus travel to this world?

He remembered that he was sleeping when he woke up and found himself inexplicably in this world.

Seeing that Reina was somewhat lost in thought, Jinbe helped Shirley to a seat to rest, while Arlong turned around and rushed out of the coffee shop. He felt ashamed and embarrassed that he had been frightened by Reina's look.

As for the rest of the coffee shop customers and staff, seeing that nothing was wrong, they all left. Although they occasionally glanced at Reina, no one stood around watching anymore.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now!" Reina realized that Jinbe and Shirley had been staring at him the whole time.

"Brother Reina, why did Shirley cough up blood after giving you the prophecy? She's never done that before!" Jinbe asked, seeing that Reina had come to his senses.

Reina shook his head and said, "I don't know either!"

“This is my problem. Originally, I could only see a cloud of mist inside the crystal ball, nothing else. I was just curious and forced myself to look, which is why this happened!” Xia Li shook her head and said.

After the matter was explained, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and Jinbe apologized to Reina repeatedly, but Reina just waved his hand and smiled, saying not to mind.

After leaving the café, Reina did not go to the Dragon Palace, but returned to the Moby Dick.

Not many crew members remained on the ship. Apart from the captains who went to Ryugu Castle with Whitebeard, the rest of the crew wandered around Fishman Island, buying some local specialties.

Back on the ship, Reina was alone in his room, lost in thought.

He wondered why he had come to this world. Was he given some special mission? Or was it all just an accident? Where did the system he possessed come from? And why could he exchange physical items from it?

All of this seemed very unscientific, and Reina couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it for a long time.

What is his purpose in coming to this world? To help Luffy grow into the protagonist? It seems that he doesn't need to help at all, because according to the original trajectory of this world, he is the darling of heaven and earth, the child of destiny.

So why did he come into this world? To make up for the regrets in One Piece? But now even he himself has regrets, so how can he make up for them?

Lost in his own thoughts, Reina didn't notice the passage of time until the outside of the cabin became noisy and bustling, at which point he realized that Whitebeard had returned to the ship with his men.

"Hey~ Reina, so you're on the ship? We've been looking everywhere for you!" Reina ran into Laco as soon as he came out of the cabin.

“Yes, I had some things to take care of, so I came early!” Reina nodded and replied.

After meeting Reina, no one noticed anything unusual about him, because he seemed to prefer staying on the ship to other places, and he always had endless things to do on the ship.

It wasn't until they returned to the surface that everyone seemed to notice that Reina was somewhat downcast.

"Kid, what happened?" Whitebeard plopped down next to Reiner and asked.

"Big Brother?" Reina was startled and quickly made room for Whitebeard. He had been sitting on the ship's railing, gazing at the sea, completely lost in thought, and hadn't even noticed Whitebeard approaching.

"You seemed rather lost and disoriented ever since we left Fishman Island. What happened?" Whitebeard asked, frowning.

Reina's condition seemed more serious than he had imagined, just like when Olvia had her accident. Although he still greeted people with a smile every day, those who knew him well knew that Reina couldn't muster any energy for anything during that period.

"Brother, what do you think is the meaning of my coming into this world?" Reina asked, looking at Whitebeard with a slightly confused expression.

"Huh? What's gotten into you now? Why are you suddenly asking this?" the white-bearded man asked, puzzled.

“I’ve noticed that you all have your own life principles and goals, but I seem to have nothing at all, like a piece of wood floating on the sea, just drifting with the waves…”

"Snapped!"

Before Reina could finish speaking, the white-bearded man slapped him on the back of the head, laughing and cursing, "Speak like a human being!"

"Um... well... I just can't find the meaning of life!" Reina said helplessly, shrugging.

"Are you stupid, kid? What's the meaning of life? The meaning of life depends on what you do. If you do nothing, it has no meaning! But as long as you do something, it will definitely have meaning!" Whitebeard glanced at Reina and said.

Reina's lips moved, but he didn't speak.

He really wanted to tell Whitebeard not to imitate his tone of voice, as it didn't fit his own persona, but he held back and didn't say it, otherwise he was afraid he would get beaten up!

"Let me ask you, isn't protecting our family what you're doing right now? You've been constantly improving your strength, but what is it all for? Doesn't any of this have any meaning? If not, then what are they...?" Whitebeard pointed to the crew members around him who were playing Ludo, drinking and chatting, and asked Reina.

"But...but...I couldn't even protect Olvia! Big brother...am I really useless!?" Finally, Reina couldn't help but say sadly.

He has lived two lives. In his previous life, he was an orphan who didn't even have a girlfriend and lived at the very bottom of society. In this life, he finally found a woman he could love and wanted to protect, but he had to watch her die right before his eyes.

So after Xia Li's prophecy, Reina suddenly felt that he had accomplished nothing since coming here. Although he possessed power greater than most people, he felt that he was no different from his previous life and was still just a nobody.

Whitebeard was stunned by Reiner's appearance; in his memory, Reiner had never shown such weakness.

He knew that Olvia's death had been a huge blow to Reina, but he didn't expect that even after so much time had passed, it would still be affecting him.

"Did you kill that guy?" Whitebeard asked softly.

After Reina returned from Impel Down, no one asked about the outcome.

Although Whitebeard learned from the newspapers that Reyna seemed to have joined forces with Shiki, he knew that Reyna was just using Shiki's prison break as an opportunity to do his own thing.

"No, he was saved by Garp at the last moment!" Reina shook his head and said.

"Turn the ship around and head towards Impel Down!" Without the slightest hesitation, Whitebeard turned his head and said to Marco and the others who were eavesdropping.

"Yes!" Upon hearing Whitebeard's words, the crew members were all extremely excited.

"Hahaha... Finally, it's time to do something big! This sea has been too calm lately! Let the Whitebeard Pirates show the world what the world's number one pirate crew really is!"

"What incredibly exciting news! Impel Down... this time we must wipe it out completely!"

The crew members shouted loudly.

They seemed excited because of the fight, but Reina knew they were just after his revenge.

“No need, brother! I want to do this myself!” Reina shook his head and said to Whitebeard.

Reina's words made the crew stop what they were doing and look at Whitebeard. As long as Whitebeard gave the order, they would definitely attack Impel Down without hesitation.

"Are you sure?" Whitebeard asked Reina after a moment of silence.

“Reina, we’re family!” Lacourrell, who was closest to Reina, couldn’t help but say.

“That’s right, precisely because we’re family, how could I let you do such a thing! Don’t worry, as for myself… if I can’t win, I can always run away, there will be another chance next time!” Reina said, bowing his head.

He felt the warmth of family from everyone.

"Phew~~ Big brother... thank you for inviting me aboard!" Reina exhaled and looked up at Whitebeard.

"Gurarararar...you brat, what nonsense are you spouting? We're about to have a banquet!" The white-bearded man laughed loudly, then announced that the banquet was about to begin.

Reina's face darkened, all the emotion he had just felt vanished, and he immediately felt like he had been tricked.

Chapter 153 Big Mom's Invitation

"Haha... Beihai is mine now!"

"Fishman Island, I'll buy it!"

"Toll fee, one thousand yuan!"

"Damn it! It's Impel Down again! With my strength, how could I possibly be caught so easily!?"

"Hahaha... Travel around the world, pay me!"

Following the popularity of Ludo, a pirate version of Monopoly has become a hit on the Moby Dick.

Monopoly is more fun than Ludo, so the crew quickly became engrossed in it. Fortunately, Reina had prepared a lot in advance, so it was more than enough to meet the crew's needs.

Recently, even Dr. Asie came out of the lab to play board games with Olga, which was a pleasant surprise.

With board games, Reina felt that the Moby Dick's sailing speed had slowed down considerably. Fortunately, under Reina's supervision, everyone only played chess during breaks, so it didn't interfere with their work.

"Hey~ Reina~~ Come and see!"

On this day, Reina was practicing his physical skills as usual when he suddenly heard Laco's voice.

"Boom!"

"What's wrong?" Reina put down his exercise equipment, wiped his face, and asked Lacjo, who was running over.

"Look, what's this!" Lakyo said with a smile, waving a parchment scroll in his hand triumphantly.

"A treasure map?" Reina guessed with little interest.

Nowadays, even ordinary crew members, let alone Reina, have lost interest in ordinary treasure maps, so the Whitebeard Pirates haven't gone treasure hunting for a long time.

"This is no ordinary treasure map! Come and see if it's real. If it is, you'll be rich!" Lakio handed the parchment to Reina and said earnestly.

Reina took the treasure map, looked at it, and then froze.

“This is fake!” Reina handed the treasure map to Lacour and said with a strange expression.

"Fake? How could that be? I asked the navigator, and he said it looks very real!" Laco said anxiously.

Reina smiled and said, "I can tell you with certainty that the treasure map is indeed fake. There is no treasure there anymore; the treasure has already been moved!"

"How did you know?" Laqué asked, surprised.

“Because… I’ve been there!” Reina replied with a smile.

This treasure map was none other than the treasure map of the legendary pirate Captain Rocks, so Reina was somewhat surprised when he first saw it.

Moreover, the location marked on this treasure map is exactly where Captain Rocks buried the treasure. However, he and John later collaborated to stage a fake treasure theft, leading all the crew members to attack the Celestial Dragons.

It was that attack that led to the disbandment of the entire Rocks Pirates, and he himself was defeated by Roger and Garp working together.

"You've been there? What do you mean?" Lacou was taken aback. Did Reina secretly go treasure hunting on his own?

"Alright, I've told you there's no treasure there, don't overthink it!" Reina pushed Lakyo away; he still needed to continue training!

Although Laco was puzzled when he left, since Reina had said there was no treasure there, he must be right. It was just a pity that the treasure of the legendary pirate Captain Rocks was gone.

A few days later, when they landed on a small island, Reina, in a tavern, heard about the Lox Treasure again, but this time it was called Captain John's Treasure.

“Brother…this is a bit strange! Back then, only John knew about Captain Rocks’ treasure, so why are there such rumors now?” Reina whispered to Whitebeard, listening to the conversation of the other drinkers around him.
