Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

He was completely baffled and couldn't understand why the Whitebeard Pirates were targeting him.

On the other side, after the battle ended, Reina first picked up Robin and Olga, said goodbye to Rayleigh, and then returned directly to the Moby Dick.

At this moment, Whitebeard and Garp did not make a move; they were simply facing off, waiting for news from Reina's side.

"Yo~ Mr. Garp, I didn't expect you to be cleaning up the Celestial Dragons' messes too!" Sure enough, Reina made a sarcastic remark the moment he saw Garp.

"Reina, what exactly are you planning?" Garp asked, his expression slightly changing as he looked at the Whitebeard Pirates returning to the crew.

"Don't worry, your people are fine, but we've finished our business, so... see you later! Bye-bye! Hahaha..." With Whitebeard here, and Garp worried about the safety of Aokiji and the others, Reina was certain that Garp wouldn't make a move.

"Let's go to Sabaody Archipelago!" Garp watched the Whitebeard Pirates leave and, as expected, did not pursue them but instead chose to land on Sabaody Archipelago.

When he arrived on the island, he was surprised to see that Akainu and his two companions were all injured. He immediately asked, "Sakazuki, what happened?"

"Phew~ Ask Kuzan!" Sakazuki said before leaving.

Being ganged up on by the Whitebeard Pirates today made the arrogant Akainu extremely unhappy, especially since he didn't even know the reason for the fight, which made him feel like he had taken a bullet for Aokiji.

"Kuzan?" Garp was taken aback and turned to look at Aokiji, who was the most seriously injured.

"Mr. Garp, I don't know the reason either, but it seems that the Whitebeard Pirates came for me today. If it weren't for Sakazuki and Borsalino, I'm afraid I would have been in trouble today!" Aokiji said with a wry smile.

“Alright, let’s talk about this when we get back, Mr. Garp. The Sabaody Archipelago has been severely damaged, and many civilians have been affected by the fight between Kuzan and Reina. They urgently need rescue!” Vice Admiral Momonga interjected from the side.

Garp nodded and said, "Let the soldiers rescue the civilians first. As for the rest... Kuzan, go back and explain it to Sengoku in detail!"

“Yes, Mr. Garp!” Aokiji nodded weakly in reply.

Aokiji greatly admires Garp. Ever since he left the Marine Headquarters training camp, he has been following Garp's lead. Therefore, he is very clear about how strong Garp is and is very willing to obey Garp's orders.

Chapter 219 Father and Daughter Have a Heart-to-Heart Talk

“Father… don’t do this again. It would be terrible if anyone got hurt because of me!” On the back of the hard shell, Reina and Robin sat in the front yard chatting.

After leaving Sabaody Archipelago, Reina and his daughter separated from the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates. They were heading to the West Blue to visit Ohara, and Reina also wanted to take care of those guys who had bullied his daughter.

“It’s alright. Because we’re family, there’s no need for such formalities! We won’t hide anything from them when they need our help! It’s a sign of mutual trust. If we keep everything to ourselves, it could cause even greater harm to our companions, which would be a huge loss!” Reina said with a smile.

"Does your father trust your companions?" Robin suddenly asked after a moment of silence.

“Of course, it’s precisely because of mutual trust that we’re partners; otherwise, we wouldn’t be partners at all!” Reina nodded with a smile and said, “You’re asking this because you haven’t met a true partner yet. When you meet someone you’d be willing to protect even at the cost of your life, you’ll understand!”

Robin remained silent and did not answer. Reina knew that because of her childhood experiences, she did not trust her so-called companions.

"Do you know about the Sharingan?" Reina suddenly asked.

"Are they the same red eyes as Father's?" Robin didn't understand why Reina asked that, but he nodded and replied.

“That’s right, that’s it!” Reina activated his three-tomoe Sharingan and said with a smile, “It’s a bloodline ability, you might even have it! But the way to activate it is a bit special!”

"How do I turn this on?" Robin asked curiously.

“The awakening and advancement of the Sharingan requires the individual to experience extreme pain. This pain is not physical, but mental. This stimulates the retina in the brain, allowing us to awaken the Sharingan! Or rather… even a very pure Sharingan can be awakened through training, but to advance, one must experience extreme pain,” Reina explained with a smile.

"Extreme pain?" Robin looked at Reina with some surprise, not understanding what kind of pain this so-called extreme pain referred to.

"Look into my eyes!" Reina said, activating his Mangekyou Sharingan. The three tomoe spun rapidly, eventually forming a sword-blade-like pattern. He said, "This is the Mangekyou Sharingan... the advanced mode of the Sharingan!"

Robin stared blankly into Reina's eyes, seemingly mesmerized by the Sharingan.

"Do you know when my Sharingan advanced?" Reina slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had returned to his normal appearance.

Robin shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

"When I first awakened my Sharingan, I didn't know how to use it or how to improve it. It was only through trial and error that I learned how to improve my Sharingan! But when my Sharingan became a three-tomoe Sharingan, I discovered that no matter how much I trained, my Sharingan could no longer grow!"

"So I thought the three-tomoe form was the ultimate state of the Sharingan, but... when I saw your mother die in front of me, the extreme anger and hatred made my Sharingan advance directly, and also made me know the method to activate and advance the Sharingan!"

"But if I could... I would rather have only the three-tomoe Sharingan than let it evolve into the Mangekyou Sharingan! These are evil eyes that need to be nourished with the blood of your loved ones!"

As Reina spoke, his mood became even more depressed.

Although he already knew everything about the Sharingan, and even knew that the Sharingan could evolve into the Rinnegan, he really preferred not to have this power unless he used the system's evolution scroll.

He also understood why the Sharingan was described as a cursed eye in Naruto. Behind every pair of Mangekyou Sharingan in the Uchiha clan lies an extremely heavy past.

After hearing Reina's explanation, Robin was shocked. She had been thinking about whether she could awaken the Sharingan, but after hearing Reina's words, she suddenly realized that if she insisted on awakening the Sharingan, then she would have to let Reina sacrifice himself in front of her, because Reina was now her only remaining close relative.

"Don't look at me like that. The closest relatives I'm talking about aren't just those by blood, but those by affection! Like right now, even though I'm your father, if your feelings for me aren't that deep, even if I die at your hands, you won't awaken the Sharingan!" Seeing Robin's eyes, Reina immediately knew what she was thinking, so he explained with a smile.

"Is there an age requirement for awakening the Sharingan? Or am I guaranteed to awaken it?" Robin asked after thinking for a moment.

Reina smiled, shook his head, and said, "There's no such thing as 100% certainty in these things. Besides, I estimate your chances of inheriting it are very low, because you already look very much like Olvia, so you'll definitely inherit more from her!"

“Then I might not be able to awaken this ability!” Robin said thoughtfully, “When Ohara was destroyed, I should have experienced extreme pain!”

“You’re right. If you had awakened the Sharingan when you escaped, Aokiji probably wouldn’t have dared to let you go!” Reina said with a wry smile. “So it seems you really didn’t inherit it! Are my genes that weak? How come you inherited everything from Olvia?”

"Perhaps my father's genes were too strong, so I didn't inherit them!" Robin said with a smile, covering her mouth as she looked at Reina's disappointed expression.

"Hahaha... Oh, right, there's something I need to tell you!" After thinking for a moment, Reina said, "My eyes have various abilities, one of which is the ability to see the future!"

"See the future?" Robin was startled and looked at Reina in surprise.

“That’s right, seeing the future! When someone who will have an impact on the world in the future appears in front of me, I can see some things about his future, but I can only see it once!” Reina also told Robin about his ability to “see” the future.

"Such amazing abilities!" Robin exclaimed after hearing this.

“That’s right, so when I met you in Ohara, I knew about your future!” Reina gave a bitter smile and said, “Although I also knew about the destruction of Ohara, the reason I saw it was because the Doctor and the others were studying historical texts. So I warned them that studying ancient texts was fine, but they absolutely could not touch historical texts. I never expected… sigh!”

Hearing Reina's words, Robin's mood also dropped. The destruction of Ohara, especially the death of Dr. Croha, had dealt her a great blow.

“Actually, before I met you… I was very cautious!” Seeing Robin’s downcast look, Reina suddenly smiled and said, “Even though I can see some parts of the future, I try not to change them, because I don’t know what the future will be like after it’s been changed. Maybe it will get better, or maybe it will get worse!”

"But do you know what? When I found out you were my child, the regret in my heart was almost maddening! If it weren't for seeing the future, I would have protected you when I knew you were still alive, even if you weren't my child, but just a survivor of Ohara, I would have done it, because you inherited Olvia's will!"

Robin looked up at Reina. She could sense some emotions in Reina's words, including regret, relief, and some other indescribable feelings.

"Father……"

"Don't worry about me!" Reina waved his hand and said, "I'm not that fragile. It's just that your appearance made me realize that I don't need to worry about so many things anymore... After all... I now have enough ability to protect myself and the people I care about!"

“Of course, my father is a renowned pirate!” Robin said with a hint of pride.

"Hahaha... So, I'm telling you now what I saw in you back then! The choice you make after that is up to you, and whatever decision you make, I'll support you!" Reina said with a loud laugh.

Robin nodded, a hint of curiosity about her own future creeping into her mind.

"Do you remember what Salong said to you?" Looking at the curious Robin, Reina asked the same question he had asked before.

“Salong?” Robin was taken aback, thinking of that adorable giant. He lowered his head and said, “Is it that explanation you gave to your comrades?”

“That’s right. In the future, you will meet such companions, a group of companions that you would be willing to give up your life to protect! How about that? Doesn’t it seem a little strange?” Reina said with a smile.

Robin nodded. She did find it somewhat unbelievable. Before meeting Reina, she knew how dark her heart was. She had survived until now by constantly betraying and being betrayed. Would someone like her ever meet a partner she would be willing to give up her life to protect?

“What I can see is that you’ll run into them in Alabasta. You know Crocodile, right? You worked for him and ended up running into those guys. When Crocodile is defeated by them, that’s when you’ll board the ship! How about it? Want to go see it?” Reina said with a laugh.

"Alabasta? Is it there?" Robin asked, a thought flickering in his mind.

“That’s right. After you return from the West Blue, you can make a choice: go to Alabasta and wait for those guys to appear, or come back to the Whitebeard Pirates with me. Whatever you choose, I will support you!” Reina nodded and said.

"We'll see when the time comes, I don't know right now!" Robin hesitated for a moment before replying.

Reina nodded and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter what you choose. Now that we've recognized each other, even if you go to Alabasta, I won't just stand by and do nothing! At the very least, I'll give you some means to protect your life! Actually, I'd rather you stay by my side and let me take care of you! But... I respect your choice!"

He already sensed what choice Robin would make.

Chapter 220 The Last Legacy

West Sea, the original site of Ohara.

"I never imagined that Ohara, which was so prosperous back then, would become like this!" he said with a sigh, looking at the deserted island that had shrunk to a tiny size.

Robin kept her head down and didn't speak; this place held too many memories for her.

“Let’s go, let’s go up to the island and take a look!” Reina patted Robin on the shoulder and said.

The two men disembarked from the hard shell and landed on the small patch of land remaining after Ohara sank.

“This is not the central area. The Tree of Omniscience in the central area should have been completely destroyed!” Reina said after examining the area carefully.

“This used to be a residential area!” Robin, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

Reina nodded. From some of the wreckage, one could still vaguely make out that there should have been buildings here, but they had been completely destroyed by artillery fire.

"Rustle, rustle..." Just as the two were moving forward, they suddenly heard some sounds coming from the bushes ahead.

"Hmm?" Reina used his Observation Haki to spot the other party. He had initially thought it was some kind of animal, but it turned out to be a pirate crew.

"Let's go take a look. They must be a pirate crew that happened to be here and are resting!" Reina said with a slight smile.

Robin nodded and followed behind Reina. With Reina by her side, she didn't think there was anything here that could threaten the two of them.

Sure enough, when the two emerged from the bushes, they found the pirate crew resting.

The two people's sudden appearance startled them.

"Who are you people?" the pirate closest to the two immediately shouted.

"I was just passing through. I saw an island here, so I came up to rest for a bit!" Reina replied with a smile.

However, after hearing Reina's answer, the pirates opposite them looked at each other and became enthusiastic, inviting the two to join their party.

This obvious ulterior motive was obvious to both Reina, a seasoned veteran, and even Robin could see it. However, with Reina around, Robin felt at ease and started following him around, eating and drinking for free.

"Father...?" Robin called out worriedly as he watched Reina drink the wine that was clearly mixed with something.

"It's okay, I only had a little wine, nothing will happen. But since you're a girl, you shouldn't drink alcohol, just eat something! They're so enthusiastic, it's hard to refuse!" Reina said with a slight smile.

He had already noticed something was wrong with the wine, but being immune to all poisons, he wasn't afraid of these things at all.

"That's right, that's right, come on, drink more!" Seeing this, several pirates refilled Reina's cup and urged him to drink more.

In their view, dealing with Reina was a piece of cake; she was just a young girl.

But as Reina drank more and more without showing any sign of collapsing, the pirates started to get annoyed. They didn't have much supplies to begin with, and if Reina kept drinking like this, wouldn't they be losing out big time?

"Clang!" The pirate captain slammed his wine glass to the ground, stood up, and said to Reina, "Kid, you asked for this!"

Because of his pure gold skin, Reina looks very young, even though he is thirty-two years old.

But the other party's sudden show of force left Reina completely bewildered. Why was it starting so suddenly? Shouldn't it have started after the banquet?
