Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Who goes there?" Just as Reina finished speaking, several torches suddenly appeared on the closed port, illuminating the surroundings. Several female warriors of the Nine Serpent Clan stood on the defensive measures above the port and asked Reina.

"I was passing by and noticed this small island. I'd like to buy some nautical supplies. Is that alright?" Reina didn't continue forward but asked with a smile.

Not to mention that these Kuja warriors are all beings with Haki, even an ordinary person like Reina can't beat them now.

"A man? Get out of here! This is the Amazonian Kingdom of Women! Men are not welcome here. If we find you, you will be killed!" a female warrior said quickly upon seeing Reina.

“Um… this is the Amazon Lily Kingdom of Women? So you are the Kuja, a female warrior race? I know you don’t like men, I’m not going in, I just want to buy some navigation supplies! My fresh water and food are not enough to sail to the next island!” Reina said, feigning surprise.

Seeing the female warriors above seemingly discussing something, Reina finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He'd be happy to talk to them. What he fears most is that they'll just ignore him and drive him away. If he can't take action, he'll really be helpless.

"You wait here, we'll go get some supplies to exchange with you. Don't make a sound, or you'll be executed if we're discovered!" Soon, the female warriors above seemed to have reached a decision and said to Reina.

"Thank you so much!" Reina bowed and said.

Before long, the Nine Serpent Warrior returned, carrying a large bundle on his back.

"Here you go, there's some fresh water and food in here, that should be enough to get you to the next island! But this is the Calm Belt, so it might be difficult for you to leave!" A Kuja warrior tossed a large bundle to Reina and said.

"Thank you... It's alright, I'm not on a boat, this is my partner, the turtle shell!" Having received the gift, Reina felt embarrassed to keep it a secret any longer, so he patted the turtle shell, causing it to rise a little.

The Kuja warriors were taken aback when the hard shell rose from the sea.

"It's such a big turtle! Is it your partner? I thought it was a ship!" exclaimed one of the Kuja warriors.

“Yes! It’s my partner, named Hardshell. It’s great in every way, except it always gets lost. I happened to be short of supplies this time, so I had to come here to ask to buy some supplies!” Reina said with a smile.

Having not chatted with anyone for a long time, Reina didn't rush to leave after getting the items, but instead chatted with several Kuja warriors.

"Hehehe... You're really interesting. By the way! Why aren't you leaving yet?" After chatting for a while, the Kuja warrior named Moriarty asked Reina with a smile.

“I’ve been sailing alone for over two weeks now, and I haven’t had anyone to chat with, so I just started talking to you all. I’m really sorry if I’ve offended anyone, I’ll leave immediately!” Reina said, getting up to leave.

He indeed had no intention of going to Amazon Lily, even though it was known as a paradise for men and a legendary land of women, but Reina wasn't very interested.

"Are you leaving?" Another Kuja warrior, Olinka, asked with some regret as she saw Reina preparing to depart.

She was reluctant to see Reina leave. The outside world that Reina had just told them about filled them with longing. However, although Amazon Lily, where they lived, was not a closed country, it was very difficult to enter or leave because it was located in the Calm Belt.

This is both a form of protection for them and a form of blockade against them.

"Hehehe... Are you longing for the outside world? Then you can go out to sea on your own! With the strength of your Nine Serpents warrior race, as long as you find a certain number of warriors, you can go out to sea too!" Reina said with a smile.

"How dare you! You wicked man, you actually tried to lure our Nine Serpent warriors out to sea! Tell me... do you want to capture them?" Just then, a slightly aged voice suddenly rang out.

"Lady Gloriosa!" The Kuja warriors, who had just been chatting quite pleasantly with Reina, immediately bowed and greeted him with slight panic.

Reina didn't know who the other party was at first, but after hearing Moriarty and the others' address, Reina knew that the person who came was the former, former, former Queen of Kuja, whom Empress Hancock would call "Grandma." No, the Empress hadn't succeeded to the throne yet, so she was still the former, former Queen.

"I apologize if my words have caused any misunderstanding!" Reina bowed first, and then said:

“I didn’t mean to deceive them, nor did I intend for them to go to sea with me. I just happened to come here! But I could sense their longing for the outside world, so I suggested that they form their own group and go to sea, which would be safer!”

"Who exactly are you?" Gloriosa slowly walked to the edge of the defensive harbor and asked.

Each of the people she brought carried a torch, illuminating the harbor area even brighter, and finally they could clearly see the figures of Reina and Hardshell.

“I’m just a passerby. I was unlucky enough to get lost, so I came here to buy some supplies! I happened to run into these girls, and we hit it off, so we chatted for a while! I haven’t entered any of your Amazon Lily’s territory!” Reina shook his head and said.

"Judging from your manner of speaking, you're no ordinary passerby! You're not even willing to reveal your name?" Although Gloriosa was short in stature, Reina thought she was quite intelligent.

“It’s not that I’m unwilling, but I feel it’s somewhat inappropriate. If you really want to know, I can tell you!” Reina said calmly.

Now it was Gloriosa's turn to hesitate. From Reina's words, she could sense that if they knew Reina's name, they would be drawn into some kind of incident.

"Are you some kind of wanted criminal? Is it inconvenient for you to say your name? It's okay, this is Amazon Lily! Even the Navy doesn't dare to come here!" Olinka asked curiously after hearing Reina's words.

"Well, I guess you could call me a wanted criminal! I'm a pirate, and I have a bounty on my head!" Reina thought for a moment, then nodded and said.

"Alright, you can leave now! Don't say anything more, get out of Amazon Lily's territory immediately!" Seeing that Reina seemed about to reveal his name, Gloriosa's expression changed immediately, and she shouted.

Although she didn't recognize who Reina was, since he had said so, she figured it was better not to know.

Unlike ordinary Kuja members, Gloriosa knew that the Calm Belt was not an insurmountable barrier for the Navy, and that if the Navy really wanted to attack them, they would be unable to resist.

It's worth noting that even the Whitebeard Pirates, who were once known as the world's strongest pirate crew, were recently defeated by the Navy!

Because of their geographical location, it's difficult for them to receive newspapers, making it hard for them to get information. She only learned about the battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy today; the other Kuja warriors are still unaware of it.

“I am deeply grateful for your help today. If we ever meet again, I will do my best to help you if you need anything!” Reina waved to the Kuja warriors he had just met and said.

"Hehehe... Goodbye... Be careful at sea!" The most lively Olinka waved to Reina and replied with a grin.

"Put your hands down. Today it's just me. If anyone else finds out, none of you will escape!" Gloriosa tapped Olinka with her snake staff and said sternly.

"Yes, we understand, Lady Gloriosa!" The group exchanged glances and bowed their heads in apology.

"Good to know!" Upon seeing this, Gloriosa glanced at the spot where Reina had left, then turned back thoughtfully.

Actually, she had already followed Moriarty when he went back to get supplies, but seeing that Reina didn't seem to have any bad intentions, she had been hiding with her men and hadn't come out.

She only stepped forward because she heard Reina urging several girls to go to sea; otherwise, she probably wouldn't have come out to meet Reina.

"Hehehe... Do you guys think what that person said was true? Is the outside world really that wonderful?" After Gloriosa left, Olinka said to her companions with a grin.

“It should be true! Didn’t you hear him say that? He seems to be a pirate!” Moriarty said after thinking for a moment.

"Pirates... What do you guys think? How about we form a pirate crew someday? We could call it the Kuja Pirates!" Olinka said with a hint of longing.

Chapter 191 is dead?

After leaving Amazon Lily, Reina originally wanted to visit the island where Luffy had trained for two years, but considering his physical condition, he gave up the plan, fearing that he would be killed by the wild beasts on the island.

After emerging from the Calm Belt, Reina finally found a small island before running out of food and fresh water. However, considering his current situation, he waited until after dark before having Liu Liu lead him ashore.

As for the hard shell, it was waiting for him not far from the island.

He now needs to purchase some nautical supplies and also needs the latest intelligence. When he was chatting with the warriors of Kuja, he had subtly inquired about the Whitebeard Pirates, but they didn't seem to know anything about it.

After landing, Reina's first stop wasn't a tavern, but an inn. It was already night, and he needed to find a place to rest.

After checking into his room, Reina took a shower and changed into some clean clothes before slowly making his way to the tavern.

The tavern was packed at this time. After entering, Reina casually found a corner, ordered a bottle of rum, and slowly drank it while listening to the conversations of the other patrons around him.

"Tsk tsk tsk... I can actually taste the most delicious rum that I usually look down on. It's really unexpected!" Reina said with a self-deprecating smile, shaking the bottle in his hand.

"Excuse me, is this seat taken? Can we sit here?" Just as Reina was sighing, a woman's voice suddenly rang out.

Although Reina really wanted to say no, because he had already seen the navy uniform the other person was wearing, he knew that would make him seem even stranger, so he could only nod vaguely to indicate that he was willing.

"Thanks, and another bottle of rum for this gentleman, it's on me!" the leading naval woman said generously.

"Major Lia, what is our mission this time?" Just after the navy officers sat down, one of the soldiers asked the female officer in charge.

"As you all probably know, our destination this time is the Whitebeard Pirates' Sky Island!" The woman, known as Major Rea, said softly, "There are rumors everywhere about how amazing the Whitebeard Pirates' Sky Island is, but headquarters has analyzed it and believes it's not that amazing. So our goal is to go there and verify it, to see what abilities the other side's Sky Island actually has!"

"But the ocean is so vast, where are we going to find a sky island? The sky islands fly in the sky, but we can't fly!" a soldier asked, somewhat puzzled.

“A while ago, there was news about Skypiea. Not only did pirates and bounty hunters rush there, but I also heard that Marco, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, showed up! So we need to go and take a look!” Major Lia said with a smile.

"Is it true? Even Whitebeard's men went there, but isn't Skypiea theirs? Couldn't they just contact Skypiea directly?"

“I don’t know the specifics, but someone saw Marco there, so it’s probably true! After the Whitebeard Pirates suffered a major defeat at Impel Down, their base, Crescent Moon Island, was also captured by the Big Mom Pirates. It’s said that some kind of fusion happened there, which caused some problems on Skypiea, and it’s no longer under Whitebeard’s control!” Major Rea explained to her subordinate.

While pretending to drink with his head down, Reina was actually listening carefully to the navy men's conversation, from which he learned quite a bit of information.

First, it seems that Crescent Moon Island was taken over by the Big Mom Pirates. Also, Sky Island has flown away, and Marco is currently chasing after its location.

Reina pondered for a moment and decided to follow the navy first, since they were heading to the Sky Island, where Marco was also located.

Xuan Yue Island is probably still under repair. With Whitebeard in charge, no one would dare to cause trouble on Xuan Yue Island, so rushing back now wouldn't be of much use.

Instead, Reina felt it necessary to bring the floating island back first.

"Alright, don't stay out too late tonight. We'll be setting sail again early tomorrow morning, understand?" At this moment, Major Lia finished her drink in one gulp and stood up to say.

"Is the Major going back to the ship now? Why not stay a little longer?" A subordinate asked in surprise when Liya got up.

"No, I need to practice my swordsmanship a bit more tonight! You guys drink up! Remember not to stay out too late!" Major Lia put down a stack of Berries, then smiled, waved to her subordinates, and left the tavern.

After Major Lia left, Reina looked thoughtfully at her retreating figure, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

"Hey, you, why are you staring at our Major?" At this moment, a naval soldier shouted at Reina in annoyance.

"Ah? Sorry, I've just never seen a female naval officer before, so I was a little surprised!" Reina quickly put on an "apologetic" and honest look.

"Hahaha... Don't underestimate Lieutenant Commander Lia just because she's a woman. She's incredibly capable!" The naval soldier said smugly after hearing Reina's words.

"Oh? Is that so? What are your beautiful major's achievements?" Reina asked with a smile.

The soldiers didn't react when they saw him, so he could chat with them without worry.

"Hehe... Do you know Reina, the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates? He's the great pirate who single-handedly injured Vice Admiral Kizaru and Vice Admiral Akainu during the Impel Down battle!" Upon hearing Reina's words, a soldier asked him mysteriously.

Reina was taken aback. Akame Reina? Wasn't that himself? How could I not know him? So he quickly nodded and said, "I heard he's a very powerful pirate! What's wrong? Did your Major defeat him?"

Several naval soldiers looked at Reina as if he were an idiot, and said, "Are you kidding me? Although Lieutenant Commander Reina is very strong, how could she possibly defeat a legendary pirate? However, when Lieutenant Commander Reina was still a sergeant in the branch, she did fight Reina, but unfortunately, she was defeated!"

Upon hearing the naval soldier's words, Reina thought carefully, but he couldn't recall them at all. After all, he had defeated too many naval soldiers. He really didn't care about a mere sergeant in a branch office. Unless the other party was a future famous naval admiral in the original story, he wouldn't bother to remember him.

"Don't underestimate Major Lia just because she was defeated by Reina. After that, she entered headquarters and followed the former general, now Marshal Sengoku, in battles all over the world, and her strength has increased a lot! It's a pity that she has no chance to take revenge now!" Seeing Reina's expression, a soldier quickly said.

"Why is there no chance for revenge? Can't we just defeat that Reina guy next time we encounter him?" Reina asked in surprise.

"You... don't you even know about something as big as the Impel Down battle?" The Marines looked at Reina with surprise again and asked.

"I know! I heard it was the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates fighting in the waters around Impel Down, and in the end the Whitebeard Pirates were defeated!" Reina nodded, looking like he knew it.

"Since you know that, why are you still talking nonsense? The great pirate Akame Reina died in that battle! How do you think Lieutenant Commander Reina can get revenge on him?" The marine soldier who spoke looked at Reina as if he were stupid.

"Dead...dead?" Reina's eyes widened. How could he be dead again? This seemed to be the second time he had been killed.

No wonder these naval soldiers didn't recognize him; in their subconscious, Reyner was already dead, so how could he possibly be sitting and chatting with them?

After chatting with the naval soldiers for a while, they left slightly drunk. According to them, they would be scolded by Major Rea if they went back late. That's the downside of female officers; they never drink with them.

After the naval soldiers left, Reina also got up and left. He had obtained a lot of information tonight, and after buying all the supplies tomorrow, he could follow the navy and leave.

The next morning, Reina got up early to buy supplies. When he arrived at the port, he saw the naval warships that had already set sail. He circled around and used his hard shell to communicate with the naval warships, then followed them at a distance.

Navy warships are much faster than ordinary pirate ships, but despite their large, hard-shelled bodies, they are actually quite fast in the ocean. However, they are easily attracted by food in the sea, which often causes them to go astray.

A few days later, when Reina arrived at the target area with the naval warship, he spotted the Whitebeard Pirates' flag.
