"when!"

"puff!"

Just as Reina had managed to block the demon's slash, he was struck from behind by Katakuri, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Thunder!"

Without giving Reina a chance to catch his breath, Zeus, the thundercloud in the sky, had already gathered, and a bolt of lightning struck Reina directly.

"Boom!!"

A massive bolt of lightning struck where Reina was, and Zeus's attack also brought everyone to a halt, as they waited for the smoke to clear.

"Hyōrinmaru! Swastika!"

As the smoke cleared, a huge block of ice was revealed, protecting Reina and rendering Zeus's attack ineffective.

At this moment, Reina also used all his trump cards, even Hyōrinmaru's Bankai form.

"Everyone be careful!" Katakuri was startled when he saw Reina in this state. Without thinking, he shouted to his brothers and sisters.

"Millennium Ice Prison!" Reina raised Hyōrinmaru in its Bankai form, and countless ice pillars appeared on the ground, surrounding the enemy. These ice pillars closed in an instant, attempting to freeze everyone.

"Mom!" Katakuri, Perospero, and the others used their abilities to dodge the ice pillars, but many of their younger siblings were still frozen by Reina's ice pillars, so the two of them shouted to Charlotte Linlin at the same time.

"Heavenly Fire - Flame Strike!" Although Charlotte Linlin was currently enraged, her fighting instincts remained. Facing Reina's ice pillars, the sun Prometheus directly enlarged, attempting to melt the ice pillars with high temperatures.

Charlotte Linlin's fire attack not only neutralized Reina's attack, but also shattered two of the twelve giant ice flower petals behind him.

"Hoo~ No, I can't fight them head-on, I have to break through!" Reina, who was going all out, became incredibly powerful, but he was also expending a lot of energy. In just a short while, he felt his strength was completely depleted.

"Stop him! We absolutely cannot let him leave! Candy Wall!" Perospero saw Reina's intention to retreat, and with a wave of his candy scepter, countless candy liquids began to flow, forming a wall that blocked Reina's retreat.

"Trying to stop me?" Reina moved swiftly, taking a step and charging directly towards the candy wall, with the pursuers behind him quickly following.

Chapter 158 The Chase

While fleeing in a panic, Reina also had to figure out how to deal with the pursuers behind him. Soon, due to exhaustion, he had to deactivate Susanoo.

"Is this the end?" Reina said with a wry smile after being caught up by Katakuri again.

"You have nowhere to run. Even if you escape the castle, there are our people outside. You can't escape at all!" Katakuri said softly.

"Cough cough... Katakuri... You should know that the Whitebeard Pirates won't let the consequences of attacking me go unpunished!" Reina coughed twice, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said.

There was no other way. Just as Katakuri said, this was the territory of the Big Mom Pirates. Although Reina's chances of escaping would be much higher after leaving the castle, this Whole Cake Island was not so easy to get out of.

"It's too late to talk about this now. This was already destined when Mom took action!" Katakuri said calmly.

"Why waste words with him? Let's take him down first!" Dafu said, glaring fiercely at Reina.

"Hehe... Since that's the case... then are you prepared to pay the price?" The ice wings behind Reina had long been broken and were now in pieces, and only two of the twelve huge ice sculpture petals remained. However, his aura was still not to be underestimated.

"Dong dong dong..."

As Reina fended off the attacks and retreated, he heard Charlotte Linlin's footsteps approaching. Reina knew that his chances of escaping were slim.

He was also somewhat helpless. He hadn't expected that Charlotte Linlin would go crazy with anger just from hearing the truth, believing that Reiner was slandering the nun. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have exchanged this secret with Charlotte Linlin. He would have just told her that Longbread knew the nun's whereabouts.

But it's too late to say all that now. All he can do now is try his best to escape!

"Elbaf Spear - Mighty Kingdom!"

With Charlotte Linlin's appearance, the moment she saw Reina, she immediately unleashed her ultimate move, wielding the bicorn hat Napoleon transformed into a large sword and slashing directly at Reina.

"Boom~~~"

A massive energy wave suddenly rushed towards Reina, but with the vision of his Mangekyou Sharingan, he had already found a way to dodge.

Reina dodged, and the massive energy wave grazed past him without hitting him. In fact, the massive energy wave pierced through the castle wall.

"Chance!"

Reina finally saw a glimmer of hope for escape. If he could break out of the castle, he would have a chance to fly away with the ice wings created by Hyōrinmaru.

"Don't even think about it! Candy Barrier!" Perospero waved his candy cane, quickly filling the gap that had just appeared with candy.

However, Reina was already moving quickly towards the gap, and it seemed he was about to escape the castle before the candy filled the hole. At that moment, a biscuit soldier appeared in front of Reina, blocking his way.

"Damn it!" Reina naturally knew that this was a biscuit soldier summoned by Charlotte Cracker, one of the future three Sweet Commanders, but he didn't know if it was the one whose true form was hiding.

"Oh!"

"Splash splash splash..."

The biscuit soldier struck Reina, but Reina shattered into ice cubes scattered on the ground, leaving the biscuit soldier stunned.

"Creek, behind you!" Katakuri shouted from afar.

It turns out that Reina just used a technique from Hyōrinmaru's Bankai: Remnant Ice Humanoid!

He used an ice-made substitute to take the enemy's attack in his place, thus deceiving the biscuit soldiers.

"You can't escape!" Because of the biscuit soldier's obstruction, Reina's speed seemed unable to keep up with the candy's speed. Before he could escape, the candy would fill the hole.

"Whoosh~ Focus your power and strike! Break!" Reina, who was running, suddenly raised his arm and punched the candy barrier with his fist covered in Armament Haki, shattering it directly. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Reina jumped and leaped out of the castle.

"Even if you escape the castle, you can't escape Whole Cake Island. This is the territory of our Big Mom Pirates! Chase after her!" Katakuri stood inside the castle, watching Reina fall from the sky, and waved his hand as he spoke.

At this moment, Reina, who was in the air, used Hyōrinmaru in its Bankai state to create another pair of wings, and then spread his wings and flew towards the coastline.

To conserve his energy, he had already deactivated his Sharingan and was relying entirely on his Bankai Hyōrinmaru to support his rapid flight.

"Bang bang bang..."

On the ground, the Whole Cake Island forces, having received the message, were firing at Reina in the air. Behind him were several powerful members of the Big Mom Pirates who were catching up using Moonwalk. Reina adjusted his flight direction while calculating how long his remaining strength could last.

"You can't escape, you who slander the nun, you all have to die!" Charlotte Linlin, riding on the thundercloud Zeus, chased after Reina at an extremely fast speed. The Big Mom Pirates' executives who used Moonwalk along the way all made way for her, because blocking Charlotte Linlin's way was a dead end.

Reina gave a wry smile and increased his speed again.

Soon, Reina arrived at the coast. Although a considerable number of troops had already gathered there, Reina did not take them seriously at all.

"Emperor's Sword - Shattering Blade!"

Just as Reina was about to break through the soldiers' defenses and reach his small boat, Charlotte Linlin caught up from behind and slashed at Reina with her sword.

Reina's expression changed, and disregarding the Big Mom Pirates members around him, he leaped directly into the sea.

"Boom~~~"

The immense energy of the slash destroyed a section of the coastline, Reina's small boat was also destroyed in the slash, and countless members of the Big Mom Pirates died from Charlotte Linlin's slash.

"Where did you go? Come out here!" Standing on Zeus the Thundercloud, Charlotte Lingling looked around but did not find Reina.

"Mom~ that guy should be dead by now, right? After all, not everyone can withstand that attack!" Napoleon, who had transformed into a large sword, suddenly spoke up.

“That’s right! No one can withstand Mother’s attack!” Prometheus, the sun, nodded and said.

At this moment, Katakuri and the others, who had just rushed over, immediately understood what had just happened.

"We can't be careless. Everyone, search the nearby waters. Order the sea slugs on the seabed to monitor the surrounding waters. Report immediately if you find anything!" Mondor commanded the chess soldiers with a serious expression, ordering them to continue searching for Reina's whereabouts. He didn't believe that Reina had been killed so easily.

"Brother Perospero! If Akame Reyna really dies here, then we must prepare for war!" Katakuri sighed and said.

He never intended to kill Reina; he only wanted to capture him because the difference between a living Reina and a dead one was too great.

As long as Reina is alive, there is still a possibility of negotiation between the Big Mom Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates. However, if Reina dies here, they will definitely face the wrath of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"There's no other way. We can't just let him escape, can we? It's better to kill him on the spot than let him escape. Now we can only prepare for war!" Perospero said helplessly.

At this moment, Charlotte Linlin, who had lost her target, seemed to regain her senses. However, after a fight, she was also a little hungry, so she ordered Zeus to return to Cake City, as she needed to eat some sweets to replenish her energy.

When Charlotte Linlin returned to Cake Town, she was fully awake. However, upon seeing the destroyed Cake Town, she still angrily asked, "How was it destroyed?"

After learning that she was the one who did it, she stopped paying attention to it. It wasn't the first time she had done something like this, so there was nothing to be surprised about. She just asked someone to repair the castle.

At this point, the important thing is for the chefs to serve the desserts, because the tea party is still going on!

"What should we do, Perospero? Mom doesn't seem to remember killing Reina!" Mondo asked helplessly, standing next to Perospero.

"Hey... There's no other way. We have to tell Mom as soon as possible, otherwise we'll be in a very passive position if we're not prepared when Whitebeard launches his full-scale attack!" Perospero sighed and said.

"Ma~mama~ Huh? Where's that kid Reina? Why isn't he here? Has he already gone back to his ship?" Charlotte Linlin, who was eating dessert, only then realized that the seat next to her was empty, and Reina, who had been sitting there, was gone.

This was because she didn't want to accept the information Reina had told her, so her body chose to forget what had just happened.

“Um… Mother, don’t you remember? Just now, you and Reina went into the castle, and then you started fighting! When we rushed over, we joined you in attacking Reina, and in the end, you chased him to the shore and destroyed him and his small boat!” Perospero had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward to answer when Charlotte Linlin asked.

His words not only stunned Charlotte Linlin, but also surprised the surrounding guests.

"Whitebeard Pirates' vice-captain, Akame Reyna, was killed by the Big Mom Pirates?"

"War is about to begin!"

"How could this happen? Weren't we just talking perfectly fine a moment ago?"

The people below exchanged glances. If Reina really died here, then war would inevitably break out, and the two behemoths, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, would inevitably fight to the death.

As allies of the Big Mom Pirates, they might have to participate in the war, but they really don't have the confidence to win against the terrifying Whitebeard Pirates.

Charlotte Linlin, sitting in the main seat, seemed to recall something after hearing Perospero's words, and her expression turned gloomy and terrifying once again.

Chapter 159 Whitebeard's Decision

After dodging Charlotte Linlin's attack, Reina, who jumped directly into the sea from the shore, immediately summoned the Sea King, Liu Liu. He then hid inside Liu Liu's mouth and swam rapidly across the sea towards the border of Whole Cake Island.

Whenever Reina felt the lack of air, he would have Liu Liu quietly rise to the surface to breathe. In this way, he used Liu Liu to evade the surveillance of the sea slugs on the seabed and successfully left the territory of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand.

"BIGMOM Pirates! Remember this, next time... I'll make you feel like you're ganged up on! The reward I was finally about to get was ruined by you guys again!" After leaving the territory of Whole Cake Island, Reina climbed out of Liu Liu's mouth, sat on Liu Liu's head again, and headed into the distance.

Eight years ago, he was arrested by the Navy, which interrupted his consecutive sign-in period and prevented him from receiving the sign-in gift pack for five consecutive years.

Four years ago, after obtaining 100,000 points to exchange for Hyōrinmaru's Bankai, he fainted on the same day because the energy of the Bankai was too powerful. He only regained consciousness the next day and had no choice but to interrupt his practice once.

Now, four more years have passed, and just when he was about to receive the gift package for the fifth consecutive year, this happened again, and he was almost going crazy.

Looking at the 170,000 points he still had, he wished he could go back now and throw out the Nine-Tails to destroy Whole Cake Island.

But when he thought about what he still needed to exchange for, he quickly dismissed the idea that had just arisen.

"Don't be impulsive! Impulsiveness is the devil! If your heart is clear, you won't be alarmed even if the sky falls..." Reina recited the calming mantra several times and finally managed to calm himself down.

"Damn it... I'm still incredibly annoyed!" Standing atop Liu Liu's head, Reina looked at the vast territory of the Myriad Kingdoms behind him, and his recently calmed emotions began to surge with anger again.
