Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"By the way, do you know why the captain came here?" Reina pursed his lips to indicate that he was different from them before asking.

"I really don't know, but I guess the officers know! Whatever, our Rocks Pirates can roam freely on this sea, going wherever we want! Our captain is going to be the King of the World!" Simpson said cheerfully.

Reina sighed. They simply didn't understand how deep the waters of this world really were!

However, his current strength is too weak, and he has no good options other than going with the flow.

After parting ways with Simpson and the others, Reina returned to the ship alone. The pirate ship was extremely quiet at this time. Apart from him, there was no one else. The crew members had been bored during the several days of sailing without seeing anyone, so they were now releasing their energy on Devil's Island.

After warming up a bit, Reina started training. Although he didn't know exactly when the God Valley incident happened, he didn't want to die inexplicably, so strengthening himself was the only way to save his life.

The next day, the crew members began to return one after another. When they came back, they saw that the deck had been polished to a shine, and the traces of the battle with the navy had been cleaned up by Reina.

This was the result of his early morning work. He didn't know how many days Captain Rocks planned to stay here, or if there was anything he needed to do there, so he tried to finish his daily work as early as possible so that no matter what unexpected events occurred, he could keep up with his continuous attendance.

The fact that he missed a day of full attendance last month was a huge blow to Reina. He wasn't sure if he would go crazy if this happened a few more times.

Most of the returning crew members hadn't rested the night before, so they went straight back to their rooms and fell fast asleep after boarding the ship. The rest of the crew continued to have fun on the island!

After finishing his work for the day, Reina would continue to train, and occasionally he would go ashore to sit in a tavern.

Three days later, Captain Rocks finally issued a call to the crew to return to the ship.

"Brother Newgate, you look great! Looks like you've had a good time these past few days!" Rayner quickly went up to greet Edward Newgate as he returned after finishing his workout.

"He must be having a great time! We paid for all the Berry he drank these past few days. Newgate, aren't you being a bit stingy?" a crew member drinking with Newgate muttered.

“Gulp gulp gulp... I never give Pele when I drink!” Newgate said with a hint of pride.

Reina's face darkened. Why did Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, sound so melodramatic when he said that? He had witnessed his dark past; would he be silenced later?

The crew members, who hadn't seen each other for several days, greeted one another, while Captain Rocks watched over them from the attic on the second floor.

"Captain... Shall we set off now? We don't have enough food and drinks!" Longbread, the head chef, suddenly shouted at Rocks.

"Oh? Not enough? Then... rob them!" Rocks smiled slightly, pointed to the pirate ship docked beside him, and said.

"Oh~~ Let's make a huge scene then!"

"Hahaha... As expected of the captain, that's so cool!"

Upon hearing Rocks' words, the crew members immediately cheered excitedly. Although they had been relaxed these past few days, what kind of pirates would they be if they didn't rob others?

Previously, everyone had been somewhat restrained because they knew the captain was on the island, afraid of causing trouble for him. But now that Lockes had given the order, these lawless guys immediately perked up.

"Boom boom boom~~~"

"Run! It's the Rocks Pirates!"

"Help! Someone save me!"

"Thump thump!!"

The pirate ships docked next to the Rocks Pirates were all attacked. Apart from the crew members left behind, these pirate ships did not have much fighting power. Just like before, after a continuous voyage, they would inevitably go to the island to play, so the attack was very easy.

Reina also participated in this operation. He had no psychological burden at all in dealing with pirates, and he also wanted to find out if there were any suitable weapons.

However, he not only failed to find a satisfactory weapon, but also did not gain much treasure. Perhaps the pirates took all the treasure with them when they left, but they did gain a lot of food and drink.

After destroying the fifth pirate ship, their food and drinks were replenished, and everyone slowly returned to their pirate ship to prepare for departure.

Meanwhile, in a monitoring room in the center of Alcatraz.

When they discovered that the Rocks Pirates were attacking other pirate ships, they reported it to their superiors, but they were ordered to pretend they didn't know anything.

"Damn Rocks, how dare he act so ostentatiously in the port! Is it really a good idea to cooperate with him?" a man with a small mustache said angrily.

He is Gavial Freitas, one of the three main figures on Alcatraz, who runs all the taverns on the island and is responsible for two main businesses: intelligence selling and weapons selling.

"There's nothing we can do. If they really cause trouble, they'll demolish not only the port, but this whole island!" Another slightly overweight man sighed and said.

"Alright, what's done is done, so let's not think about anything else. Find the owners of those pirate ships, give them a sum of money to shut them up, and if they refuse... just kill them!" Sitting in the main seat was a burly man with a mask on his face, making it impossible to see his features.

"Yes, elder brother!" The two who had spoken earlier bowed their heads simultaneously and replied with slight respect.

This masked man is the master of Devil's Island, in charge of the entire island, and trades with all the pirates and villains who come here.

On the other side, on the pirate ship that had already set sail.

After handing over some of the stolen treasure, Reina left the rest in his room before walking towards a shirtless man with a dragon tattoo on his left arm.

"Hey~ Mr. Kaido!" Reina greeted him with a smile.

"Huh? Reina? What do you want with me?" Kaido was taken aback, looked at Reina, and asked.

“I want to learn physical skills from you!” Reina said directly without wasting any words.

"Hehehe... Learn physical skills from me? My body is natural, you can't learn it!" Kaido shook his head and said.

Reina sighed, nodded, and left.

He didn't know if Kaido was lying to him, but since the other party said so, he couldn't force Kaido.

In fact, Kaido's physical skills are quite crude, but his physical strength is extremely strong. So even though Kaido doesn't know any techniques, he still possesses superhuman combat power.

Reina originally hoped to learn how Kaido transformed his body, but Kaido's words had already explained things clearly, so there was no need for him to keep bothering Kaido.

"What an interesting kid!" Kaido chuckled as he watched Reiner's departing figure.

"Mama~ my little brother! What brings Reina here?" After Reina left, Charlotte Linlin came out of the cabin, still holding the sweets she had just stolen, and asked Kaido directly.

"He wants to know why my body is so strong!" Kaido said without any attempt to hide it.

"Oh? Another ambitious guy?" Charlotte Linlin looked thoughtfully in the direction Reina had left and said softly.

“Ambition… must be matched with strength!” Kaido sneered.

Although he had only recently been promoted from trainee to full-fledged crew member, his strength was already comparable to that of ordinary officers. Only Shiki the Golden Lion, Newgate, Linlin, and others could suppress him. The other officers could defeat him, but not beat him.

Because of his abnormal physique, ordinary attacks are not even qualified to cause him any damage.

Chapter 17 Reina's Worries

"Beep... Eighteenth consecutive day of clocking in... Payday being settled..."

You have received a base salary of 180 points.

Overtime pay: 90 points

Another day has come to an end. After receiving his salary, Reina's points have surpassed the three thousand mark.

He should have had enough points long ago, but he redeemed liquor several times during this period, which consumed some of his points.

His proficiency in basic physical techniques is now almost complete, and he expects to have mastered them by the end of this month! After spending 1,000 points to upgrade his basic physical techniques, his strength will increase significantly.

"Pfft!"

Just then, Reina suddenly heard the sound of something falling into the water. He stuck his head out and looked towards the stern of the boat, where he saw a small boat floating on the stern, with what appeared to be a dark shadow on it.

"Sharingan! Activate!" Reina activated his Sharingan directly, and his pitch-black vision became slightly brighter.

“That’s…John?” Reina was taken aback, recognizing the man on the small boat as Captain Rocks’s trusted confidant.

When Reina saw that it was one of his own, he closed his Sharingan and pretended that he hadn't seen anything.

That guy's strength was among the lowest of the officers, but he was Captain Rocks' confidant, so he still held a high position on the ship. No matter what he was up to, Reina thought it best to pretend he didn't see it.

The next morning, Reina got up as usual and began practicing physical skills. After two hours of physical training, he also finished two hours of work. Then he picked up his tools and started working. By the time he was almost done cleaning, the crew members also began to slowly get up.

"Ah, what a beautiful day! Reina, get us some feed, I want to go fishing!" Simpson yawned, looked at the sun in the sky, and said to Reina.

"Me too! I want to go fishing too!"

"Haha... Since we're all fishing, count me in!"

Reina's face darkened as he looked at the crew members who had been ordering him around since he got up.

"Hehehehe... Kid, tell me, what's so magical about the bait you made? Why is it easier to catch fish than ordinary bait?" Shiki the Golden Lion chimed in, asking.

“There’s no unique recipe! I’ve already told you, the bait I make is exactly the same as the bait you make yourself!” Reina said helplessly.

He only has himself to blame. He saw Shiki fishing and went over out of curiosity. However, Shiki was getting angry because he couldn't catch any fish. Reina came over and gave him an excuse, so he beat Reina up and gave him the fishing rod.

Out of revenge, he redeemed a type of bait from the store that was very easy to catch fish, and then, right in front of Shiki, he kept pulling up the hook, almost driving Shiki crazy.

From then on, everyone knew that his specially made bait could catch fish quickly, so whenever a crew member wanted to fish, they would come to him for bait.

In the end, Reina still exchanged some bait for these guys, otherwise he wouldn't have a moment's peace all day. Fortunately, the bait required very few points; 10 points could be exchanged for a big bag.

Plus, he still has a lot of points left over; otherwise, he wouldn't have exchanged for these useless things even if you killed him.

"Brother Newgate, want to give it a try?" Reina handed the remaining bait to Newgate, who was sitting on the side of the boat, and asked with a smile.

"No need, but your bait is really magical. Even Shiki lowered himself to ask you for it!" Newgate said with a smile, shaking his head.

"Tch~ I remember what happened last time. I can't beat him now, but when I can, I'll teach him a lesson!" Reina wrinkled his nose and said angrily.

"Gulalalalala... Well, you'd better work hard. His personality is prone to offending people, and he might get killed at any time!" Newgate said with a loud laugh.

Meanwhile, inside the cabin, Longbread handed Charlotte Linlin a strangely shaped fruit, saying, "This is the Devil Fruit I discovered!"

"Take it away, take it away! Damn it, don't you know I already have a Devil Fruit? Legend has it that when two Devil Fruits meet, something terrible will happen!" Charlotte Linlin waved her hand and said with a hint of disdain.

Longbread's face darkened, and he said, "You're talking about one person eating two Devil Fruits! Just holding them is no problem! Have you forgotten that I'm also a Devil Fruit user?"

"Huh? It seems real. Are you sure you're okay?"

Charlotte Linlin carefully examined the long bread, and only after confirming that he was alright did she take the strange fruit from the long bread's hand.

"What kind of power does this fruit possess?" Charlotte Linlin asked curiously.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, but I can't be sure what it is!" Longbread shook its head and said.

"Zoan type? That's useless! If it were a natural type, I could at least train my own people!" Charlotte Linlin immediately lost interest upon hearing that it was an Zoan type.

"Our own people? Where are our own people now? Are you talking about Kaido? Or Reina?!" Longbread asked warily.

The reason he sought out Charlotte Linlin was because he valued her strength; it would be bad if she got out of control!

“Of course it’s Reina! Kaido… he’s very ambitious!” Charlotte Linlin’s eyes narrowed as she said directly.

“Rainer? His abilities are indeed a bit strange, but... he might be a different kind of person from us, and perhaps he's closer to Newgate?” Longbread shook his head and said.

"Don't worry! Have you forgotten my abilities? No one will refuse when it comes to lifespan! Ma~mama~~" Charlotte Linlin said with a loud laugh.

That evening, everyone's meal turned into grilled fish. There was no other way; they had caught too much, and it would be a waste not to eat it.
