Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"What are you talking about!?" Although he didn't know what Reina did, Franky wasn't the kind of person who would let people talk about him like that.

"Frankie, don't be rude!" Mr. Tom stopped Frankie first, then smiled apologetically at Reina and said, "The child is a little impolite, please don't be angry!"

Reina shook his head and said with a sigh, "I'm glad Mr. Tom doesn't mind! You must be building a train that can run on the sea right now, right? I saw that thing in his future! I must say, it's truly a magnificent thing!"

Reina's words stunned Mr. Tom, Iceberg, the angry Franky, and Kokoro who came over after hearing the commotion. Although the Sea Train they were building was not a secret, they had never told anyone about it before.

"Hahaha... So, does that mean my Sea Train will be built in the future?" Tom asked happily after hearing what Rainer said.

“That’s right, the day you finish will be the day you die!” Reina nodded and replied.

"Damn it! So I'm telling you... what nonsense have you been spouting? The World Government has already promised that once the Sea Train is completed, it will offset the teacher's guilt for building the Pirate King's ship! Do they dare to go back on their word?" Upon hearing Reina's words, Franky immediately objected and questioned loudly.

Reina ignored Franky and looked at Mr. Tom. Seeing that the man was deep in thought, he knew that Mr. Tom must already know about the World Government's interest in the Ancient Weapons.

"As expected, the World Government came for that thing!" Mr. Tom sighed and said softly.

“Since you already know, then I won’t say any more! So no matter what you’ve done, the World Government will not let you go. I see from his future that the World Government is just using him! And it’s obvious what choice you will make!” Reina pointed at Franky, nodded, and said.

Iceberg listened attentively to their conversation. Unlike Franky, he was unaware of Reina's identity. Although he didn't know Reina's abilities, he assumed that such an important figure wouldn't speak carelessly. Moreover, from Reina and Mr. Tom's conversation, he could tell that Mr. Tom agreed with Reina's words.

He glanced at Franky discreetly, a thought forming in his mind.

"What a pleasant day! I heard that you recently rescued quite a few fish-men and mermaids from Mary Geoise. I am very grateful!" Mr. Tom understood what Reina meant, so he didn't dwell on it and instead talked about Reina's release of Celestial Dragon slaves.

“You really don’t need to thank me for this. Do you know Fisher Tiger, the explorer from your Fishman Island? He was the one who orchestrated this whole thing. I just happened to be there!” Reina waved his hand and said.

"Anyway, I still want to thank you for releasing my compatriots!" Mr. Tom expressed his gratitude once again.

“Reina…is this also a merman? Does the merman race include a frog race?” At this moment, Hansen, who was standing behind Reina, suddenly asked in a low voice.

“Idiot, Mr. Tom is a horned fishman, not some frog fishman!” Reina said to Hansen, his face darkening.

Although Mr. Tom really does look like a frog, he does have two small horns on his head, but they are not very noticeable because Mr. Tom is a bit overweight.

"Hahaha... I'm not some frog-fish man! I'm just a little too fat!" Mr. Tom said, laughing loudly, clearly having heard Hansen's words.

Hansen smiled apologetically at Mr. Tom.

“This is the captain of our ship’s science unit escort team. He’s usually on the sky island where the science unit is located, so he hasn’t seen many fish-men. Please don’t take offense, Mr. Tom!” Reina glared at Hansen and said to Mr. Tom.

"Hahaha... It's alright. By the way, this is my secretary, Kokoro, a mermaid!" At this moment, Mr. Tom pointed to Kokoro, the mermaid who brought out tea from inside the house.

"Huh? She's a mermaid? But why does she have feet?!" Hansen was clearly shocked, looking at Kokoro's feet and asking in confusion.

Although Kokoro is not as old as she will be in a decade or more, she has lost the beautiful appearance she had in her youth, which is why Hansen was so surprised.

The mermaids he had seen were all young and beautiful; he had never seen one that could transform its tail into legs.

Reina sighed, rubbing his forehead, and said, "Don't you know? Mermaids can turn their tails into legs after they turn thirty!"

"Hehehe... It seems you know a lot about us mermaids!" Kokoro said with a smile as she handed the tea to Reina.

"Sister Kokoro, you flatter me. I have many friends who are fish-men and mermaids, so I know quite a bit!" Reina said with a smile as she accepted the tea.

"Hey Iceberg, what does this guy do? Why does Mr. Tom seem to know him so well?" Just as Reina was chatting with Mr. Tom, Franky came to Iceberg's side and asked in a low voice.

"He is the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, the great pirate Akame Reyna!" Iceberg glanced at Franky and said directly.

"Pirates?" Franky was taken aback and asked, "Hey~ you don't believe his nonsense, do you? I would never hurt Mr. Tom!"

Franky and Iceberg were quite familiar with each other, and just from the tone of the other's voice, he knew that the other must have believed what Reina had said earlier.

“Although I don’t know how he made that judgment, he’s right. Mr. Tom also said that the World Government won’t let him go because of something, unless Mr. Tom can hand over that thing, otherwise… what that person said might come true!” Iceberg said softly.

"What? But Mr. Tom doesn't have anything. I live here every day, how could I not know?" Franky said in confusion.

Iceberg glanced at him and said nothing more. He was too lazy to explain to Frankie. He would rather listen to the conversation between Reiner and Mr. Tom and get some clues from it.

After chatting with Mr. Tom for a while, Reina got up to say goodbye, saying, "Now that I know Mr. Reilly's old friend is in good health, I won't stay any longer. It was a pleasure to meet Mr. Tom today!"

He had just discussed some construction issues with Tom Hamheng. Although Mr. Tom was only a shipwright, at his level, he had mastered all methods and provided Reina with a lot of help and inspiration.

"Haha... If you have time in the future, you are welcome to come again!" Mr. Tom did not insist that Reina stay, knowing that the other party must have his own things to do.

As soon as they left Tom's studio, Franky blocked Reiner and Hansen's way.

"What's up?" Reina asked Franky with a smile.

"Of course, you'd better explain to me why I killed Mr. Tom! If you don't explain, don't even think about leaving here today!" Franky said seriously.

“Didn’t you say you didn’t believe it? If you don’t believe it, why ask again?” Reina said with a chuckle.

“Although I don’t believe it, Iceberg and Mr. Tom both seem to believe you! Then explain to me clearly why I would kill Mr. Tom!” Franky said stubbornly.

Reina was taken aback. He hadn't expected Franky's answer to be like this. Since Iceberg and Mr. Tom both believed Reina, did he also believe Reina's conclusion? Even if the conclusion was very unfavorable to him?

“There’s a barbecue restaurant up ahead. I’m a little hungry. Let’s go, it’s on me! We can eat and talk, how about it? And that kid in the back, come on over too!” After saying that, Reina walked straight toward the barbecue restaurant not far ahead.

Franky was taken aback by Reina's words, then saw Iceberg slowly emerge from the shadows and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"I also have some questions I want to ask him!" After saying that, Iceberg chased after Reina and the other two.

"Wait for me! I was here first!" Franky muttered as he chased after him.

Chapter 202 The Blackbeard Pirates

"The taste is really good, the juicy pork here is so chewy and bouncy!"

"Of course, this is our Water City's most famous specialty!"

The group sat at the barbecue stall, eating barbecue and chatting.

“So, this is… Carter Franky, right? What did you want to talk to me about?” Reina asked Franky as he turned his head while eating his barbecue.

"Huh? Oh! Right, why did you say that I killed Mr. Tom?" Franky, who was happily eating barbecue, suddenly realized that he hadn't come here to eat barbecue, but to question Reina.

Franky, oblivious to everything, left both Iceberg and Hansen speechless, one feeling embarrassed and the other finding it amusing.

“I never said you were the one who killed Mr. Tom!” Rainer shook his head and said.

"But you just said that to Mr. Tom. Are you trying to deny it?" Franky looked at Reina with a hint of disdain. He thought the other man was a real man, but he didn't expect him to be so cowardly.

“I mean Mr. Tom’s death will be related to you!” Reina chuckled and said, “I don’t mean you will kill Mr. Tom!”

"Is there a difference?" Franky asked, his face darkening.

"Of course, there's a big difference. Killing Mr. Tom means you did it intentionally, it was deliberate! But if his death is related to you, it's different. Maybe you did something unintentionally, or it had nothing to do with your intentions, but he died because of you!"

"You bastard... what are you even saying? Can't you just explain yourself?" Franky couldn't understand what Reina was saying at all.

“Alright, alright, I’ll be blunt. I saw your future. One day in the future, a ship you built attacked a World Government ship, and Mr. Tom, in order to protect you, used your achievement of building the Sea Train to offset your crime!” Reina said softly.

But his words left Iceberg and Franky speechless, staring blankly at Reina.

"You...you...how could such a thing be possible? How could I possibly attack the World Government? Don't be ridiculous!" Although Franky was trying his best to deny it, he knew that such a thing was possible.

Meanwhile, Iceberg was deeply shocked by Reina's words.

"You just said... you can see the future?" Iceberg looked at Reina and couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, who can see the future? Sure enough, everything you said was a lie!" Franky shouted, as if he had grasped at a straw.

“Yes! Is that so strange?” Reina smiled slightly and replied softly.

"So... that's why Mr. Tom believed you so readily... which means you made a prediction that came true!" Iceberg said calmly.

“Not bad, very insightful! But what I said is not a prophecy! Don’t get them mixed up!” Reina nodded, looking at Iceberg with approval, and said.

"Phew~ I can hardly believe it, but this world is so big, it's not surprising that some strange abilities appear. So... could you explain your ability to me?" Iceberg took a deep breath and said.

The two completely ignored Franky, who was standing to the side, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he listened quietly to Iceberg and Reina's conversation.

"Want to know my abilities? Then look into my eyes!" With that, Reina activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.

"This..." Iceberg and Franky both subconsciously took a step back, because Reina's eyes had turned red, and the three tomoe looked extremely tempting.

"Is this Akame?" Iceberg murmured to himself, looking into Reina's eyes.

"It's not over yet! Kaleidoscope... Open!" As Reina finished speaking, the three tomoe spun rapidly, eventually transforming into blade-like shapes.

Although there was no background music or BGM playing, Iceberg and Franky were still so shocked that they were completely speechless.

"See that? My eyes! These are eyes called Sharingan, which have many abilities. One of them is that when I see someone who can influence the future, I can see a brief glimpse of their future!" Reina chuckled as he closed his Sharingan and spoke to the two of them.

“Someone who can influence future trends… So, Fram…” Iceberg glanced at his companion with a complicated expression and said.

“Not only him, I also see your future, but it will be very short-lived, not as good as his! He is one of the top five people I have ever met!” Reina said with a smile.

His words not only shocked Iceberg and Franky, but even Hansen, who was standing to the side, was surprised. Before this, he had been watching Iceberg and Franky with a "let's have some fun" attitude, but Reina's words just now shocked him.

He knew that Reiner had said that the more important someone is to the future, the more of their future he could see in them.

"Hey... stop joking around, do you know what you just said?" Hansen looked at Reina in disbelief and said.

“That’s right, you heard me correctly. The time I saw in his future was enough to rival that of Roger, my older brother, and others!” Reina nodded, confirming.

"Roger... Roger and Dad?" Hansen looked at Franky, completely dumbfounded.

"Could this guy... become someone like Daddy in the future?" Hansen pointed at Franky and said to Reina.

Reina shook his head, rolled his eyes, and said, "It's not about his achievements and status, but his impact on the future! In terms of achievements, Roger has become an unprecedented Pirate King. Apart from the one in the future, who else can surpass him?"

At this moment, Iceberg and Franky had forgotten the purpose of their visit; they were stunned by Reina's words.

After a while, when the two came to their senses, Reina said with a smile, "You'd better not tell anyone about my affairs, or it will cause trouble for yourselves and Mr. Tom!"

Iceberg and Franky nodded somewhat numbly.

"Hoo~ So, Lord Reina... may I know the World Government's purpose?" Taking a deep breath, Iceberg asked directly.

Reina shook his head and said, "This is something I shouldn't be telling you. If it were possible, Mr. Tom would have told you!"

"Really? I understand!" Iceberg nodded, indicating that he understood.

“Well then, if there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave! Oh, and if there’s anything I can help you with, you can find me on Xuan Yue Island in the New World!” Reina said with a slight smile.

After Reina and Hansen left, Iceberg and Frankie sat in the barbecue restaurant for a long time without leaving.

"Once I get back, I'll destroy all those ships!" After a moment of silence, Franky spoke first.

“It’s no use. Even without those things, the World Government will use other means to coerce Mr. Tom. Their real goal is what Mr. Tom has!” Iceberg shook his head and said.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Franky asked, somewhat annoyed.

“Let’s go! Let’s go back and find Mr. Tom!” Iceberg said after thinking for a moment.
