Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

“That’s right, we need to catch them off guard!” Reina nodded and said, “Marco, if anyone dares to step forward, just take them down!”

“Okay!” Marco nodded in reply.

Dr. Assie immediately notified Olga, instructing her to launch the sky island into the air.

Sure enough, the commotion on the Sky Island immediately caught everyone's attention. When they saw the Sky Island seemingly preparing to take off, they hesitated for a moment.

"Everyone... I have other matters to attend to today, so I'll have to stay and keep you company! May the green hills remain and the clear waters flow forever, until we meet again!" Reina shouted loudly from the edge of the sky island.

"Wait... Mr. Reina, could it be..."

"Phoenix Seal!"

Just as a pirate captain was about to say something, Marco, transformed into a phoenix, unleashed his full power, stomping down and sinking the entire ship and crew to the bottom of the sea.

“I told you, I have other things to do! If you continue to pester me... you’ll die!” Reina, who had been smiling, suddenly turned cold and said in a chilling voice.

For a time, whether it was pirates, bounty hunters, or underground forces, they were all intimidated by Reina and dared not move.

As the floating island lifted off and drifted away into the distance, Liya suddenly widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Oh no! We've been tricked!"

"What's going on? What do you know?" Major General Gumir asked, looking at Liya with surprise.

"Major General, we've been tricked! Reina must have been seriously injured after the battle of Impel Down, but now he's here. Considering the time spent traveling, his injuries must not have fully healed, or he simply can't exert much strength, otherwise he wouldn't be like this!" Lia said anxiously.

Gumir was jolted awake. He felt that what Lia said must be true. Everyone had overlooked his critically injured and dying state in Impel Down because of his appearance.

"Alright, I'll give him a try! Get ready to support me!" Major General Gumir said through gritted teeth, looking at the floating island still in mid-air.

“My lord…” Hearing Gumir say this, Lia hesitated again. What if her guess was wrong and Reina had fully recovered? Then Major General Gumir, who made the move, would likely face a heavy blow from Reina.

"Don't worry, your guess is right, and this is my own decision! You're excellent!" Major General Gumir patted Lia on the shoulder and said with a smile.

After speaking, Major General Gumir went directly to the bow of the ship, leaped into the air, and used Moonwalk to rush towards the Sky Island.

The Navy's actions caused the pirates who had left headquarters to stop in their tracks, all looking at Rear Admiral Gumir, wondering what the Navy was planning to do next.

"Red-Eyed Reina! Your injuries haven't healed yet? So you only let Marco fight!? I am Major General Gumir from the main force, and I have come here specifically to learn from you!" Major General Gumir shouted loudly as he used Moonwalk to rush towards the sky island from the air.

Marco and the others, who had just breathed a sigh of relief because the sky island had successfully taken off, were now on edge again.

"I'll handle him!" Marco stepped forward, ready to make his move.

“Wait… let me do it! Look at those pirates… they’ve already become suspicious. If they launch an attack together, Sky Island will definitely be sunk!” Reina stopped Marco and said softly.

“But…your injury!” Marco said with some concern.

“There’s no other way. They won’t believe me if I don’t take action!” Reina shook his head and walked towards the edge of the sky island.

Marco and the others quickly followed, ready to rescue Reina at any moment.

"Since you're courting death... then don't blame me!" Reina drew Hyōrinmaru from his waist, took a deep breath, and said.

"Hahaha... Reina, why force yourself! Your injuries shouldn't be enough for you to fight me, right?" Major General Gumir was almost at Sky Island, and at this point, he had no way out.

"Hyōrinmaru...Swastika!"

As Reina unleashed Hyōrinmaru's Bankai state, a massive ice dragon appeared out of nowhere, along with a pair of icy wings behind him and three enormous ice flowers.

"Kaleidoscope Sharingan... Awaken!"

Reina's eyes transformed into kaleidoscopes in the form of blades, and with a single step, he charged directly towards Gumir.

Seeing Reina unleashing his full power, Gumir was startled; he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Ice Dragon Whirlwind Tail - Skybreaker!" As Reina swung the Hyōrinmaru in his hand, a huge ice dragon with wings rushed straight towards Gumir.

"As expected!" Gumir was about to dodge in mid-air when he suddenly noticed that Reina's eyes were bleeding tears, and his clothes on his chest and arms were soaked with blood. He was immediately alert. If he could dodge Reina's attack, he would succeed.

"Time... freezes!" A strange red light suddenly burst forth from Reina's right eye, and Gumir froze for a moment before losing consciousness.

Chapter 195 Return to Xuan Yue Island

"Lord Gumir!"

Lia, who was on the warship, saw Reina transform into an ice dragon, fly directly out of the sky island, and then hit Major General Gumir with a single move.

After striking Gumir, the ice dragon continued its momentum, hitting the sea surface and instantly freezing part of it.

"Anyone who dares to harass us again... die!" Reina, hovering in the air, spoke to the pirates below as if a god had descended to earth.

At this moment, Lia had no time to pay attention to Reina. She jumped off the deck and swam towards the frozen sea.

When she reached the frozen sea, she found no trace of Major General Gumir. After a moment's thought, she dived directly into the water.

Beneath the massive ice surface, at the very top of an ice pillar, lies Major General Gumir, frozen solid.

Without a second thought, Lia drew her weapon and severed the ice pillar, then brought Major General Gumir, who was frozen in ice, back to the surface of the sea.

"Serves him right! Is Akame Reyner so easy to provoke? Tsk tsk tsk... This is truly an eye-opener! A rear admiral from the Marine Headquarters, taken down in a single exchange. No wonder he's a great pirate with a bounty exceeding one billion!"

"Alright everyone, the show's over. Shouldn't we be leaving? Although we don't know why Akame let us go, since he's not pursuing the matter, we'd better get out of here quickly!"

As soon as Lia emerged from the sea, she heard the surrounding pirates mocking their navy's overestimation of its capabilities.

Biting her lip, Lia carried the frozen Major General Gumir and swam toward the warship.

If she hadn't been so talkative, Major General Gumir wouldn't be in this state. She doesn't know if she can save him now. If Major General Gumir dies in battle, then she will be the culprit.

"Quickly, call the ship's doctor!" As soon as Liya brought Rear Admiral Gumir back to the warship, she immediately ordered the ship's doctor to come and treat him.

"Major, those pirates are looking at us strangely. Should we leave here first?" At that moment, Sergeant whispered to Liya.

Liya nodded and said, "Let's go straight back to headquarters and inform them of what happened here!"

On the other side, Reina, who had barely made it back to the sky island, could no longer hold on and collapsed into a coma.

"Reina!" Marco exclaimed in alarm, immediately grabbing Reina in his arms and shouting to the crew beside him, "Quick, prepare a place, I need to treat him right away!"

Not long after, news spread throughout the world that the Whitebeard Pirates' vice-captain, Akame Reyna, was not only alive but had also single-handedly intimidated numerous forces.

After seeing the newspaper, Vista, who was on the rescue route, laughed and ordered the fleet to turn back. With Reina there, their past efforts were no longer of much use.

"Hahaha... I knew it, that guy wasn't going to die so easily!" Lakyo laughed until tears streamed down his face.

When Reyna covered the rear, it was Reyna who stopped Whitebeard from returning. If Reyna had actually died in battle, he himself would never have been able to forgive himself.

During this period, he became very listless. Although his companions comforted him and Whitebeard said that his decision at the time was the right one, he still found it difficult to get over his own conscience.

Now that he has learned that Reina is not dead, he is undoubtedly the happiest one.

"You're still laughing? Hurry up and go back before Reina returns. Demolish the cenotaph on Xuan Yue Island, or Reina will probably come to your house if he finds out!" Fosa said with a hearty laugh.

"Yes, yes, yes... the little ones... are returning! Time to have a banquet!!" Lakyo said with a loud laugh.

So the rescue fleet began its return voyage before even reaching its destination.

A few days later, on Xuan Yue Island.

"Dad...Dad...Look! It's a Sky Island! It's a Sky Island! First Mate Reina is back!"

A member of the Whitebeard Pirates stumbled and ran toward the banquet plaza behind the main building of Xuan Yue Island, shouting loudly.

"Oh...? That kid... is back?" The white-bearded man slowly raised his head and said listlessly.

"Um... Dad... how long did your banquet last night end?" The crew member who brought the news asked with a dark expression when he saw that the square was full of crew members who were hungover.

"Gurarararar... Idiot... What time is it?! It's not over yet! My men... let's continue the banquet!" The white-bearded man slowly rose and said with a loud laugh.

"Dad...please spare me! I really can't take it anymore, I just want to sleep!" Lakyo, lying on the ground, raised his eyelids and begged for mercy.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

"Oh!"

After taking another big gulp from his enormous gourd, the white-bearded man slammed it down on the ground beside him and said, "Tell that kid to come and join the banquet right now!"

On the floating island, looking at the nearby Xuan Yue Island, even though a month has passed, one can still see many traces of artillery fire on the island.

"The Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates, huh? We'll settle this score later!" Reina said softly, standing on the edge of the sky island.

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" Dr. Assie asked with a smile, standing next to Reina.

“Of course, Marco’s healing flames are still very effective!” Reina replied with a smile.

"If it weren't for her good care, would you have been able to get out of bed so quickly? She learned a lot about nursing from Sister Ginya!" Olga pouted and said.

"Yes, yes, yes... We should thank Miss Olga the most for her meticulous care!" Reina replied with a smile.

"Why do people feel that your thanks are insincere?" Olga asked, squinting.

“You’re mistaken! I’m very sincere!” Reina replied immediately, his expression serious.

Soon, the Sky Island stopped at the location designated by Xuan Yue Island.

However, when Reina, Marco, and the others came down from the sky island, they only saw a few ordinary members.

"Where's Big Brother? Isn't he on the island?" Reina looked around and didn't see Whitebeard, nor did he see Lacjo and the others, so he asked with some surprise.

"Yes, Dad's at Yuanhui Square, having a banquet!" the crew member who came to greet them said with a smile.

"Holding a banquet in broad daylight?" Reina was taken aback and asked, puzzled.

"Ahem... well... go see for yourself!" the crew member replied with a strange expression.

So when Reina, Marco, and the others arrived at the banquet square, they were stunned by what they saw: hundreds or even thousands of people were lying haphazardly across the square.

If you didn't know better, you'd think the Whitebeard Pirates had encountered some powerful enemy and had been wiped out.

"Gurararara... Kid! You're back?" The white-bearded man sitting in the middle took a sip of his drink and asked Reina with a smile.

"Yes! Big brother, it's been a long time!" Reina nodded with a smile.

The greetings I had prepared all turned into a simple hello the moment we met.

"It's good that you're back. Thank you for your hard work!" the white-bearded man said softly.

Upon hearing this, Reina's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "It's not tiring, I'm just a little homesick!"

"Gurararara..." Whitebeard burst into laughter upon hearing Reiner's words.

"Hehehe..." As he laughed, Reina also started laughing, and Marco and Dr. Assie next to him also joined in the laughter.

Awakened by the laughter, Lacourrell and the others saw Reina and Marco, but couldn't understand what they were laughing about.

"My lords... let's begin the feast!" The white-bearded man suddenly stood up, raised his gourd of wine high, and announced loudly.
