Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Tiger, what do you plan to do now?" Reina asked softly as he led the slaves to the prison gate.

“You take them away, I’ll go set the fire in the back!” Tiger said without even thinking.

“No, I can’t escape with them before the fire starts! They can only escape when the fire starts! Here’s what we’ll do: all the slaves will move with us and set fires everywhere. Then we’ll gather at the main gate, and I’ll clear the way. Whether we can get out or not depends on your luck!” Reina said after thinking for a moment.

The situation is somewhat different from what they imagined, mainly because they didn't expect it to go so smoothly, so they are all a bit at a loss as to what to do.

Chapter 197 Future Empress

“Everyone, you’ve all seen the situation. I could indeed lead you straight to the main gate right now, but you know the success rate yourselves! So we can only leave safely after causing a commotion, because those Celestial Dragons care more about their own lives!” Reina said to the slaves behind him.

All the slaves nodded as they listened to Reina's words; they knew better than Reina how afraid the Celestial Dragons were of death.

“Alright, in that case, Tiger, you go first, and I'll bring up the rear!” Reina nodded to Tiger beside him and said.

“I’ll cover the rear!” Tiger shook his head and said.

"Stop talking nonsense, now's the time to talk about this. I don't know the way here. Alright, it's decided! My merfolk friends, follow behind Tiger. If you encounter resistance, kill them without hesitation!" Reina patted Tiger on the shoulder and said directly.

Seeing this, Tiger had no choice but to do as Reiner said. Reiner, after all the slaves had left, set the prison on fire.

He had just spotted the three future empress sisters in the crowd, but he didn't give them any special treatment. His main goal now was to escape, otherwise everything else would be pointless.

Perhaps Fisher Tiger was truly the chosen one to do this. Although they had some battles along the way, they had only encountered ordinary guards. There were no admirals or even any decent strongmen.

As a result of their arson, Mary Geoise was thrown into complete chaos. Just as Reina had predicted, the cowardly Celestial Dragons mobilized their guards to protect them, leaving the slaves to roam freely.

Seeing that he had successfully caused a disturbance, Reina ordered Tiger to lead the slaves to escape outside, where Hansen and some merfolk were waiting.

"Faster, faster! Mary Geoise has been attacked, and the Navy will definitely come to its aid immediately. We must escape before the Navy Admiral arrives, or we'll be in real trouble!" Reina shouted as he ran.

"Sister!" Just then, Boa Marigold, the youngest of the three empress sisters, suddenly fell to the ground, crying out in pain.

Hancock and her second sister, Sandersonia, immediately stopped and ran towards their third sister.

“Running back now? Are you looking for death?” Reina, who was bringing up the rear, grabbed Marigold and said to the Hancock sisters.

“That’s my sister, I can’t abandon her!” Hancock replied without the slightest fear.

“Alright, let’s go. I’ll protect your sister. There won’t be any problems!” Reina nodded, put Marigold on his back, and continued to run away with her on his back.

Hancock and Sandasonia quickly followed Reina.

Soon, Tiger arrived at the gate with his slaves, but there were many guards there, and a battle had already broken out between them and Tiger and his slaves!

"Quick, you guys go first, leave this to me!" Reina casually handed the Marigold on his back to Tiger, letting him take the men and leave first, while he drew the Hyōrinmaru from his waist and immediately began the slaughter.

Indeed, these ordinary guards were formidable opponents in the eyes of the slaves, but in Reina's hands, they were nothing more than small fry.

With Reina joining the fight, things became easier. Tiger led the slaves away while telling Reina to follow, something he was supposed to do, but Reina beat him to it.

“Uncle Fishman, he’ll be fine. Look, none of those guards are a match for him!” Hancock, who was standing next to Tiger, said, pointing at Reyner.

“I know he’s very capable, but this is Mary Geoise… If we’re surrounded, even he could die!” Tiger nodded and said, “Alright, let’s hurry! Don’t be a burden to him!”

With that, she led the three Hancock sisters and quickly fled to their designated location.

When most of the slaves had left, Reina's lips curled up slightly. He had already seen the assembled Marines, and sure enough, it was Akainu and his two companions leading the group; Garp was not among them.

"Hahaha... Consider this a lesson for you! Powerful Strike - Freeze a Thousand Miles!" Reina slashed at the gate of Jomaria with his sword, the slash carrying the aura of ice striking the gate directly.

"Boom~~~"

"Crackling sound..."

The gate was instantly shattered by Reina, and the surrounding Jomaria guards were all frozen in ice.

Seeing Akainu and his two companions rushing towards him, Reina turned and ran away.

"Quick, chase after them!" Akainu's face darkened, and he was about to give chase, but was stopped by Jomaria's men.

In their view, a few escaped slaves were no big deal, as long as the Celestial Dragons were not injured.

Not long after Reina left, the Five Elders, the highest authority of the World Government residing in Jomaria, also arrived. After inquiring about what had happened, they looked at Akainu and asked, "Where is Fleet Admiral Sengoku?"

"The Marshal is in Marineford!" Akainu replied, a cigar dangling from his lips.

“Very well, I will personally ask Sengoku about this matter!” said one of the Five Elders, dressed in a dark red suit, without a tie, with blond hair and a blond beard, and a scar on his chest, his face grim.

None of them expected that someone would dare to cause trouble in Mary Geoise and even successfully rescue so many slaves; this was a direct slap in the face to their World Government.

However, after questioning them, they discovered that the man wielding the sword was likely the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, the great pirate Akame Reina.

It's important to know that pirates generally don't attack the World Government and the Navy proactively, so they suspect that this incident is related to the Navy's previous scheme against the Whitebeard Pirates.

To them, Reiner's parting words were nothing more than a declaration of revenge.

"Do whatever you want!" Akainu sneered and turned to leave.

In his view, the Celestial Dragons were incredibly stupid for causing such chaos in Jomari with just Reina and a fish-man, and the World Government was a bunch of useless people who were no match for his Navy.

Aokiji and Kizaru left without saying a word.

On the other side, after all the slaves were on board, Tiger did not ask the ship to set sail immediately, but instead looked anxiously in the direction of Jomalia.

"Brother Tiger, aren't we leaving yet?" a merman asked as he approached.

“Wait a little longer… Reina hasn’t arrived yet!” Tiger shook his head and said.

"But if we wait any longer..." The merman's words were very clear: if they continued to wait, they might not be able to escape once the pursuers arrived.

“Alright, you sail away first, I’ll wait for Reina here!” Tiger said after thinking for a moment.

"How can we do that? Brother Tiger, please come with us! Akame is so strong, she'll definitely be alright!"

"That's right, Brother Tai, let's go!"

Tiger felt a little embarrassed by his compatriots' words. He glanced at Hansen, who had just snorted coldly and remained silent, and knew that his compatriots had already displeased Hansen.

Reina didn't have to come to such a dangerous place, but because he was worried about his own safety, his good brother Reina insisted on coming. How could he leave Reina behind and go first?

"Alright, that's enough. You take them and go first. I'll stay here and wait for Reina!" Tiger shook his head and said firmly.

"We'll stay too!" At this moment, the three Hancock sisters also stood up and said, "He rescued us. We won't be safe until we see him!"

"Good! Finally, a few people with backbone! Even though they're girls, they've impressed me! Come over here, don't worry, Reina will be fine! Where do you live? I'll take you home later!" Hansen, who was standing nearby, immediately shouted after hearing what the Hancock sisters said.

The three Hancock sisters did not know Hansen, so they all looked up at Tiger. They knew that Tiger was with Reina and was also their savior.

Tiger smiled and nodded to the three of them, saying, "This man is Reina's companion. It's good for you to go with him; they won't harm you!"

So Hancock and her two companions disembarked and went straight to the back of the hard shell.

“Sister…this…this doesn’t seem to be a ship!” The youngest, Marigold, whispered to her older sister, Hancock, after climbing onto the hard shell.

Hansen smiled and glanced at the three sisters, saying, "This is indeed no ordinary boat. This is Reina's partner, named Hardshell! Hardshell, greet the guests!"

As Hansen finished speaking, the entire "hull" slowly rose slightly, and a huge turtle head emerged from the bow, glanced back at Hansen and the three Hancock sisters, and then slowly turned back.

"A...a turtle! Sister! What a huge turtle!"

The second sister, Sandersonia, and the youngest, Marigold, hugged each other nervously, while only Hancock remained calm and said, "It's just a turtle, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Don't worry, the hard-shelled creature is very docile and won't attack anyone on its own!" Hansen said with a smile.

While they were chatting, Tiger had already disembarked from the rescue ship and asked his merfolk to sail the ship away first. He himself planned to return to Mary Geoise to see why Reynar hadn't arrived yet.

Unbeknownst to them, Reina was nearby, but someone was blocking his path.

"I never expected that Lord Garp would also become a lackey of the Celestial Dragons! It's truly astonishing!" Reina said with a smile to Garp in front of him.

"I'm not here to clean up the mess for those scumbags. I'm here because I need to talk to you!" Garp said seriously.

"Really? I thought we had nothing left to say to each other except for fighting!" Reina chuckled and said.

"What happened to Olvia back then..."

"Shut up! Garp, I've always respected you, even though you captured me in the West Blue and brought Olvia from the West Blue to Impel Down. But I know it's not your fault! So don't bring up what happened back then, or else... we'll settle this right here today!" Before Garp could finish speaking, the enraged Reina interrupted him.

Faced with the enraged Reina, Garp remained silent for a moment before saying, "Magellan has already been transferred to Marine Headquarters. From now on, you don't need to go back to the city!"

"Hmph, Naval Headquarters? So what if it's Mary Geoise? He can't escape! Let him wash his neck and wait, I'll take his life sooner or later!" Reina is relatively rational when Olvia is not mentioned, but he becomes extremely irritable whenever Olvia is mentioned.

After saying what he wanted to say, Garp looked at the still somewhat agitated Reina and left. He had no interest in fighting Reina here.

Reina watched Garp leave, somewhat puzzled. Had Garp come just to tell him this news? He would naturally know about it once the Navy published it in the newspaper. There was no need for someone like Garp to make the trip in person, was there?

Chapter 198 Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld

"Brother Reina, are you alright?" When Tiger found Reina, Karp had just left.

“It’s alright, let’s go!” Reina shook his head and said.

Tiger glanced in the direction Garp had just left. He had clearly seen a person dressed as a naval admiral, but there were no signs of a battle, which puzzled him.

When the two reached the shore, Hansen immediately went to greet them and asked, "Are you alright? Why did it take so long?"

"It's alright! What about those who were rescued?" Reina asked with some surprise, seeing only the hull of the ship on the shore and no rescue boat in sight.

"I let them go first!" Tiger said somewhat awkwardly.

Reina quickly realized what had happened, but he didn't care. He patted Tiger on the shoulder and said, "The road ahead won't be easy. The Navy and the World Government will definitely not let you off the hook. Although my name will protect you, the World Government will definitely find out about you!"

"It's alright, let them be!" Tiger said nonchalantly.

"Alright, enough talk. If you have any trouble, come find me on Xuan Yue Island! Or just join our Whitebeard Pirates, I think Big Brother would definitely like that!" Reina said with a smile.

Tiger's heart skipped a beat. This was indeed a good idea. He had known about it when he was on Crescent Moon Island. Many pirate crews had joined them directly and become Whitebeard's fighting force, but they were still very free in normal times.

He doesn't have a detailed plan for this yet, so he intends to wait and see.

After watching Reina climb onto the hard shell's back, Tiger also leaped directly into the sea. That's how convenient it is for their fish-man race; they can travel all over the world even without a ship.

"What are you doing here?" After returning to the hard shell's back, Reina discovered that the three Hancock sisters were also there.

"We're waiting for you here! You're the one who rescued us, and we won't leave until we get confirmation from you!" Hancock said with a hint of pride.

“That’s right, they’re amazing, unlike those guys! You risked so much to save them, and they didn’t even thank you, they wouldn’t even wait for you, humph! A bunch of ingrates!” Hansen nodded and said disdainfully.

"Really? Thank you so much! But... what are you going to do now? Do you still have family? Do you remember where you're from? I can take you back!" Reina asked, pretending not to know.

“Our home is in Amazon Lily, in the Calm Belt. Ordinary ships simply can’t get there!” Hancock shook her head and said sadly.

“Oh? Amazon Lily? You are warriors of Kuja?” Reina asked, feigning surprise.
