Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Franky thought about it and, having no other choice, had no choice but to go back with the iceberg.

On the other side, Hansen, who had returned to the hard shell with Reina, was still somewhat incredulous and asked Reina, "Did that rude guy really have such a big influence on the future?"

"So what? He has a great influence on the future, but what does it have to do with us? We just need to take control of our own future, right?! If I wanted to, I could kill him right now!" Reina shrugged and said with a smile.

Hansen was taken aback, then said with a wry smile, "That's right, you see things clearly. If I had your abilities, I might have destroyed myself long ago!"

After leaving Water 7, the two headed towards Reverse Mountain.

Meanwhile, on a small island not far from Upside Down Mountain, a group of people had just finished packing and were preparing to set sail.

"As per the captain's instructions, everything is almost ready here. We can head back now!" A tall man patted the blood off his clothes and said softly.

"Hahahaha... Can we finally go back? I still miss the New World! It's a bit boring here!" another man, who was thin but tall, said with a strange laugh.

"Alright, let's go. If this operation succeeds, then it will be the time for our Blackbeard Pirates to become famous throughout the world!" A man in a black suit stood up and said next to the tall man.

When they left, all that remained were corpses scattered everywhere; the entire island's inhabitants had been slaughtered.

"Black... Blackbeard... Pirates!" From among the corpses, a soldier dressed in naval uniform slowly rose, looked around at the scene, tears streaming down his face, and shouted in a hateful voice.

Meanwhile, in the New World of Totto Land, on Whole Cake Island.

"Hehehe... How about that? BIGMOM! I told you, our plan would definitely succeed. Now that Reina has left Xuan Yue Island, as long as the rest of the plan succeeds, taking him down isn't impossible!"

"Mama~ This is only the first step of the plan. Let's talk about the rest after everything is successful!" Charlotte Linlin said with a smile.

"Don't worry, when it comes to understanding the Whitebeard Pirates, no one can beat me! Zehahaha..."

"Of course, as a former member of the Whitebeard Pirates, no one knows them better than you! Ma~mama~~ Hahahaha... I'm really looking forward to Newgate meeting you!"

The person talking to Charlotte Linlin is none other than Teach, who should be being tracked down by Reina.

"Don't worry, our plan... will succeed. Cooperating with my Blackbeard Pirates is the wise choice!" Teach, who now calls himself Blackbeard, has gathered a group of people and is now the captain of the Blackbeard Pirates!

Chapter 203 Hawkeye Mihawk

"Is this the desert superpower Alabasta? It's so hot!" After a period of sailing, Reina and Hansen arrived in Alabasta. They had been following the trail left by Teach, but they had not been able to catch up with him.

“You’re complaining about the heat here? We haven’t even gone into the desert yet!” Reina said, opening his clothes and lying on the deck chair.

Because Reina couldn't leave the pirate ship, the two of them had Hard Shell swim into the Alabasta River and travel by water to Albana, since they had received information that Teach seemed to have appeared in Albana.

"Luckily, the hard shell can adapt to this kind of place, otherwise you would have had to come and find it yourself!" Reina said with a smile, looking at Hansen who was already unbearably hot.

"Your problem is really strange. You have to finish all your work every day. I admire you!" Hansen said weakly.

In fact, almost everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates was used to Reina's behavior, but it was only when there were only two of them that they felt somewhat helpless.

Normally, everyone is together; one more or less Reina doesn't make a difference, so it's not a big deal. But now it's just him and Reina. If Reina doesn't disembark, he can't travel far alone.

"So, how do you usually spend your time when you go out to sea by yourself?" Hansen asked curiously.

"I just need to get back to the ship before tonight! I don't come to super-large countries like this!" Reina said with a smile.

Hearing Reina's answer, Hansen was speechless.

"But speaking of which, why did Teach come to Alabasta? And why did he do such a high-profile thing, as if he wanted us to know he was here?" Hansen asked casually.

They wouldn't have come here if Teach hadn't shown up here. This place is completely unsuitable for him; he doesn't like places this hot.

Reina, who was enjoying the cool air, was taken aback. He then sat up from his deck chair and said, "Do you think... Teach might have deliberately lured us here? He knew that I wouldn't let him off the hook for doing something like that, so he made these arrangements just to lure me here!"

"Why did we lure you here? To ambush you? Do you think he'd cooperate with the Navy? Besides the Navy, who else in a place like this could beat you?" Hansen said with an incredulous expression.

“The ocean is vast, don’t think there are no strong people there!” Reina shook his head and said.

"Then what can we do? Even if we know it's a trap, can we just not go? After all, there might be news about Teach there!" Hansen rolled his eyes and said.

“Let’s go, let’s turn back and wait at the port of Alabasta. If my guess is right, then maybe in a few days, Teach will appear in another place!” Reina said after a moment of thought.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Hansen asked, taken aback.

"Don't ask so many questions. I can't explain it to you clearly right now. Just do as I say!" Reina shook his head and said directly.

Although Reina didn't say anything, Hansen inexplicably felt hurt.

Meanwhile, on the new world's Crescent Moon Island.

"Sorry, Dad isn't on the island. Please go back!" Marco said, his eyes closed and looking like he hadn't woken up yet.

"I just want to witness the power of the man hailed as the strongest!" a man wearing a black top hat and carrying a sword as tall as a man on his back said softly.

"You think you can challenge Dad? If that's the case, Dad will be busy to death every day!" A member of the First Combat Squad said with disdain.

"So what conditions are required?" the man looked up at Marco and asked.

Marco was taken aback, not because there was anything wrong with what the other person said, but because the other person's eyes gave him a very sharp feeling, and they were also yellow pupils.

"Are you a swordsman?" Marco asked, noticing the longsword on the other man's back.

The man nodded, indicating that he was indeed a swordsman.

"Go and tell Captain Vista to come over!" Marco said to his teammates after thinking for a moment.

"Captain...you don't actually think he can fight Captain Vista, do you?" a teammate asked, puzzled.

"Just go!" Marco didn't explain anything; he could sense the aura of a powerful person emanating from the other person.

It wasn't very obvious at first, but once his own team members realized that the opponent didn't have the strength to challenge Whitebeard, the opponent's aura grew stronger and stronger.

"The captain of the third team... Vista the foil? Very well! I've been wanting to see his skills for a long time!" the man nodded and said.

Before long, Vista arrived and recognized the man at first glance, saying, "You're the swordsman who's recently become famous, Hawkeye Mihawk?"

The man known as Hawkeye Mihawk nodded and said, "I came here to witness the power of the man hailed as the strongest!"

"So you wanted to challenge Father. In that case... defeat me!" Vista drew his sword and said directly.

At this point, Vista's strength is significantly higher than in the original story. Under Reina's deliberate guidance, he, Marco, and Jozu are all stronger than in the original work. Marco, in particular, is highly regarded by Reina and has received the most special training, making him much stronger than in the original story.

“Then we have no choice but to offend them!” Mihawk said softly, taking “Night” from his back into his hand.

"Boom~~~"

The two fought for an entire day, even alerting Whitebeard in the center of Crescent Moon Island.

After their battle, the port of Xuan Yue Island was completely destroyed, and even part of the coastline was cut off.

"I lost!" Vista knelt on one knee, supporting himself with his two rapiers, and said, panting heavily.

However, Mihawk, having won, did not continue to challenge Whitebeard as Marco and the others had expected, but instead sheathed his sword and left.

"Hey..." Marco called out as Mihawk boarded his small boat, "Weren't you going to challenge Daddy?"

“It’s no longer necessary!” Mihawk shook his head and said.

Looking at Mihawk, who was far away from Xuan Yue Island, Marco said softly, "What a strange fellow, but his swordsmanship is really impressive! I wonder how he compares to Reina!"

“In terms of pure swordsmanship, Reina probably wouldn’t be his match, but in a fight… he probably wouldn’t be Reina’s match!” Vista said after thinking for a moment.

"Oh? His swordsmanship is that good?" Marco asked, surprised.

Although Reina is not a swordsman specializing in swordsmanship, his swordsmanship is quite formidable. Even Vista wouldn't dare say he could definitely beat Reina. But now he says that Reina's swordsmanship is inferior to that of the person from before, which surprised Marco.

“As you can see, I have lost!” Vista said softly.

Marco nodded thoughtfully, then returned to the center of Crescent Moon Island with the exhausted Vista.

Hawkeye's man went to Crescent Moon Island to challenge Whitebeard, defeated Third Division Commander Vista, and left. This news quickly spread throughout the New World.

It's important to understand that the current commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates are not nobodys. Even if they left the Whitebeard Pirates, they could definitely support a new pirate crew.

Therefore, Mihawk's fame soared after defeating Vista, and he instantly became a supernova in the pirate world.

A few days later, at the port of Alabasta, a desert superpower on the Grand Line, Reina and Hansen received intelligence that the Blackbeard Pirates had appeared on another small island.

"It really...it really happened!" Hansen was extremely surprised as he watched the people around him talking about how the Blackbeard Pirates had destroyed an island.

“It seems he is indeed intentionally leading us there…or rather…buying time!” Reina chuckled and said.

"So what should we do? Should we continue?" Hansen asked after thinking for a moment.

“Let’s go take a look. We’re almost at Reverse Mountain. If their goal is to lead us there, they’ll definitely set a trap. But if we find nothing there… we’ll return to Xuan Yue Island immediately!” Reina nodded and said.

“Should we just go over there openly? If he dares to do this, he must be confident in dealing with you! Why don’t we go over quietly?” Hansen suddenly felt that Teach was not as easy to deal with as he had imagined, and suggested to Reina.

"Don't worry! I know he'll betray me sooner or later. Do you think I'd show him my full strength?" Reina said confidently. "Besides, I deliberately left a weakness before. If he dares to exploit it, then his death is imminent!"

"Huh? How come I didn't know you had any weaknesses?" Hansen asked, taken aback.

“That’s because you’ve never paid attention to this aspect. Since I’m targeting Teach so much, he will definitely treat me as a potential enemy, and he will keep an eye on me at all times. In this way, he will know this weakness of mine!” Reina said with a grin.

Seeing Hansen's complete lack of understanding, Reina was speechless and said, "My ability isn't a Devil Fruit ability, so seawater and seastone are useless against me. Do you know how to prevent me from using my ability?"

"Huh? Your abilities can be targeted? How come I didn't know that?" Hansen asked in confusion.

Seeing Hansen's puzzled expression, Reina was too lazy to explain anymore; this idiot was getting dumber and dumber lately.

A day later, Reina and Hansen arrived around the island that had been destroyed by the Blackbeard Pirates.

"Let's go! Let's land directly. If there are any traps, they should be here!" Reina didn't hide, but planned to land directly on the island.

"I hope your guesses are true!" Hansen said softly, adjusting the longsword at his waist.

His sword, Muramasa, was lost when he was on Gengetsu Island; he is now using his original sword.

The two landed on the island head-on, completely ignoring the naval warships docked there, which surprised the naval personnel. When did pirates dare to appear in front of them so openly?

Chapter 204 Trap

"It's...it's the Whitebeard Pirates' flag...Quick, notify the Captain, the Whitebeard Pirates are here!" Just as the Marines were wondering, a soldier suddenly changed his expression and shouted in a trembling voice.

"What? The Whitebeard Pirates? Why are they here?"

"Quickly... quickly notify the colonel!"

The soldiers spotted the Whitebeard Pirates' flag hanging on the hard shell's back and immediately panicked.

However, Reina and Hansen ignored the navy and went straight to the island after the hard shell docked.

"Those...those are the members of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"There's no mistake, that person just now... was Akame Reyna! The vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, the great pirate with a bounty of 1.3 billion, Akame Reyna!"
