Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Now you know... it's too late. You've missed your best chance to escape!" Reina said with a slight smile.

"Don't be so smug! I have the same abilities as you now, so it's hard to say who will win!" Gamenio said, somewhat annoyed.

"No...you've already lost! You know...the Copy Fruit...isn't used like that!" After saying that, Reina vanished from the spot.

"Hmph! With eyes like these, your every move is within my sight!" Although Gamenio only has a single-tomoe Sharingan, he also possesses dynamic vision, so he can see Reina's every move clearly.

The two exchanged blows quickly, and after a few exchanges, Reina suddenly threw a straight punch at his opponent.

"It's useless. I have that energy absorption ability now too!" Gamenio said with a laugh as he absorbed Reina's impact.

"Tch~ What a troublesome guy!" I didn't expect that my Black Emperor ability had also been copied by the other party. In other words, the other party copied all of my abilities, instead of just randomly copying one of them.

"Now you know how troublesome your ability is, right?" Hansen said with a chuckle as he fought with Kadreik, the user of the Transformation Fruit.

As Reina had predicted, Kadlec's combat strength was indeed not strong; even Hansen in his current state could suppress him.

“But… do you know? Only I know the weakness of my own abilities!” After saying that, Reina took a step forward and charged towards Gamenio again.

"Is that so? Now I have the exact same abilities as you. I'd like to see how you break through!" Gamenio roared defiantly.

“Idiot… Haven’t you noticed? We’re not the same…! Focused Strike: Skybreaker!” Reina said, throwing a punch at his opponent.

"Uh... poof!"

"How is that possible...?"

Gamenho, who was exchanging punches with Reina, was sent flying by Reina's punch, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

"Haven't you noticed? The ability you copied is merely my basic ability! And I... after so much training, my mastery and application of abilities are far beyond your reach! So, your attempt to fight me using my abilities... was doomed to failure from the start!"

Looking at Gamenho, who was still lying on the ground in disbelief, Reina said softly.

"What? Is that how it is?" Hansen curled his lip and said disdainfully after hearing Reina's explanation.

He had heard Whitebeard say that when Reina's powers were first awakened, he couldn't absorb much energy and was often knocked down with a single punch.

"Watch closely, Mangekyou Sharingan... Activate!" Looking down at Gamenio, Reina activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and said, "Do you see that? The difference between you and me? With the Sharingan... you should be well aware of this difference!"

The Mangekyou Sharingan still exerts a significant suppressive effect on ordinary Sharingan users, which is why Gamenio's eyes were filled with fear at that moment.

"Reina!" Just as Reina was about to kill Gamenho, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

Reina turned around and saw that Whitebeard had appeared out of nowhere and was punching him. He immediately knew that this was the transformation fruit user.

However, upon seeing the energy ring of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit gathering on his opponent's fist, Reina chose to dodge.

"Oh!"

"Crackling sound..."

"Whitebeard" punched empty air, and the space itself seemed to shatter.

Reina looked at the other party with some doubt and uncertainty. Could this be the Transformation Fruit? It can even transform the other party's ability along with it?

"Are you alright?" Hansen asked as he approached Reina.

"What's up with this guy?" Reina asked Hansen, looking at the white-bearded man blocking Gamenho's path.

"I don't know either. He suddenly turned into Dad's appearance, and I was momentarily distracted. Then he attacked you!" Hansen said, shrugging.

"If the opponent can even change the eldest brother's ability... then that's going to be tricky!" Originally thought to be the weakest of the three, he unexpectedly gave Reina a pleasant surprise.

"call!"

"Oh!"

Kadlec took a breath and then deactivated the transformation. Judging from his slightly out-of-breath manner, it seemed that transforming into Whitebeard required a lot of energy, leaving him somewhat exhausted.

However, Reina, who had already activated his kaleidoscope, knew that this was an illusion created by the other party. He could see through the true reactions of the other party's muscles and body.

The other person was not actually tired at this moment; he was doing this to deceive himself.

Chapter 206 Defeating the Opponent

Although Reina could tell that the other party's state was feigned, he did not act rashly.

Firstly, he didn't know if the other party could really transform into Whitebeard's abilities, and secondly, it was obvious that the other party was pretending to be weak to lure him into attacking.

However, Reina wasn't too worried, because whether it was true or not, the other party couldn't possibly reach Whitebeard's level. So he was just being cautious, not afraid of the other party.

"I never thought you could become my older brother... Well then, let me test you... How much of my older brother's strength do you have?" Reina smiled slightly, took a step, and charged directly towards his opponent.

Kadlec knew his own abilities; his Transformation Fruit allowed him to transform himself into whatever he imagined, but it was merely a facade, and he could not possess the abilities of the person or thing he transformed into.

So he was somewhat at a loss when faced with Reina's attack.

"Oh!"

Reina's Hyōrinmaru was blocked by a longsword, which belonged to Gamenio, who had activated his Sharingan. Gamenio knew about Cadrek's abilities, so he knew that Cadrek was no match for Reina.

"Take Sani away, I'll hold him off!" Gamenio turned his head and said to his companion behind him.

Kadlec nodded and ran toward Sani, who was pinned to the ground by Reina with a dagger, but was stopped by Hansen.

"So it was all just a facade after all? The transformation was actually quite convincing! If you guys formed a con artist pirate crew, you'd be a huge hit!"

When Reina saw that his opponent didn't dare to fight him, he knew that everything that had just happened was an illusion, and that his opponent probably couldn't use Whitebeard's abilities at all.

"Hmph! Don't get too cocky!" Gamenio sneered, flicking his longsword and launching an attack directly at Reina.

While Reina and his companion were locked in a fierce battle, Hansen and Kadlec were also evenly matched.

Because both hands were injured, Hansen can no longer use many of his moves, but as a former swordsman of the highest caliber, he is not someone that just anyone can defeat.

Aside from the four currently engaged in combat, the only remaining fighting force consists of the Navy personnel observing the battle.

They had no idea what had happened and were completely baffled.

"Sergeant, what should we do now?" A group of marines were completely baffled as they watched the pirates start fighting amongst themselves.

"Phew~ Don't get close to them, let them fight it out, we can just watch from a distance! Maybe we'll even get a chance to pick up some loose ends!" Cao Chang took a deep breath and said.

So the naval officers, led by the sergeant, retreated further and found a secluded spot to hide.

Over there, Gamenio was completely suppressed by Reina. Reina, wielding Hyōrinmaru, possessed abilities that Gamenio could not match, whether it was the Black Emperor's power or the Sharingan's power.

Moreover, Reina is more familiar with his own abilities than he is, and knows what kind of opponents he fears most. Furthermore, the ability to control ice belongs to Hyōrinmaru, and Reina himself does not possess that ability.

"How...how is this possible? I just don't believe...there could be such a huge difference!" Gamenio charged at Reina again, his face now covered in blood.

"It's over!" Reina chuckled, and without even releasing his Shikai, he thrust Hyōrinmaru at the charging Gamenio.

"Pfft..."

As Gamenio watched Hyōrinmaru pierce his body, the Sharingan in his eyes slowly faded, returning to its original form.

Over there, seeing that the battle on Reina's side had been decided, Kadlec immediately separated from Hansen and looked at Reina warily, ready to run away at any moment.

“So next… it’s your turn! What kind of person do you plan to become to fight me?” Reina drew Hyōrinmaru and, ignoring the fallen Gameo, walked towards Kadreik with a light laugh and asked.

"Hoo!" Kadlek took a deep breath, leaped backward, and transformed into a giant dragon while in the air.

"Roar!"

Looking at the lifelike dragon in front of him, he could even smell the sour stench coming from its mouth when it roared.

"A... a giant dragon?" Even though he knew that this was a transformation of Kadreik, Hansen was still somewhat shocked.

"Die!" the dragon said, opening its mouth.

After he finished speaking, a huge fireball shot out of his mouth and headed straight for Reina and Hansen.

"Holy crap!" Hansen exclaimed in surprise, instinctively turning to run away.

However, Reina did not leave. He raised Hyōrinmaru in his hand and slashed at the huge fireball.

"A concentrated strike that freezes a thousand miles!"

The slash, imbued with icy energy, hurtled towards the massive fireball.

"Thorn..."

The expected explosion did not occur. Reina's slash cut through the fireball like paper, cleaving it in two. The two halves of the fireball then slowly turned into mist and disappeared.

"Tch~ I actually fell for it!" When the surrounding mist dissipated, Reina found that Gamenio, who was lying on the ground, and Sani, whom he had pinned down earlier, had both disappeared.

When his slash made contact with the opponent's fireball, Reina knew he had been tricked. The opponent hadn't actually released a fireball; it was just a transformation created using his ability.

Just like when the other party transformed into Whitebeard before, he also transformed into the form of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit when it was gathering power, making him believe that the other party really possessed the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's ability.

"Should we go after them?" Hansen asked as he approached Reina.

“Of course, with two injured guys in tow, they can’t get far!” Reina nodded, put away Hyōrinmaru, and chased after the fleeing enemy with Hansen.

The hidden navy personnel only emerged from their hiding place after Reina and the others had left.

"This...this is what pirates in the New World are like? They're all monsters!" a Marine soldier said, slightly terrified.

"Don't think about these things. Our navy also has strong people. Even Akame Reyna was captured by Vice Admiral Garp back then and almost imprisoned in Impel Down!" Although the sergeant was also full of shock, he still said firmly.

The thought of the Navy's own powerful members, especially their recent victory over the Whitebeard Pirates, rekindled the fighting spirit of these Navy soldiers.

But at that moment, an explosion suddenly came from the port. The navy sailors all looked towards the port, and after exchanging glances, their expressions changed drastically.

"Oh no, we have to go back!" Sergeant ...

At this moment, in the port, Kadlec, with Gamenio and Sani, was planning to seize the navy's warships.

They weren't without boats, but to avoid being discovered by Reina, they only hid a small boat nearby. At this point, it was clear that the small boat wouldn't be enough to escape Reina's pursuit, so they decided to steal a naval warship.

Despite having his hands pierced by Reina, Sani, even with only his legs remaining, still forced the naval soldiers into a retreat. The colonel, who had just regained consciousness, was kicked into the sea by Sani, and his fate was unknown.

"Sani! Don't linger, run!" Gamenio, who had just woken from his coma, said softly when he saw Sani still fighting.

"Go? Where to? Back to the New World? Can you give me a ride?" Reina appeared on the warship without anyone noticing and asked softly.

Upon seeing Reina appear, the three of them changed color simultaneously. Sani, who had just been clearing out the naval soldiers, was already looking around, attempting to escape.

He is a user of the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit, which allows him to accelerate his body, such as increasing the speed of his legs, so that he can move very fast and his kicking techniques are more powerful.

So if he were alone, he could even run on the sea surface for a short time.

However, Reina was also focused on him, because Gamenho had lost the ability to escape, and Kadlec was no longer worth mentioning after being seen through. Only he still maintained a certain fighting ability.

“Reina, don’t push us too far! Let us leave now, and when Captain Teach destroys the Whitebeard Pirates, we can plead for you!” Perhaps knowing that his chances of escaping were slim, Sani said directly to Reina.
