Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"You've drunk so much of our wine and eaten so much of our food, shouldn't you leave something behind?" The surrounding pirates also stood up, looking at Reina with wicked smiles.

"Um...didn't you treat us to this?" Reina, still holding a large piece of meat, blinked and looked at the other person, pretending to be puzzled.

"Pfft!" Robin couldn't help but laugh out loud at his father's poor acting skills.

"Damn it, I'm a pirate! Do you even know what a pirate is?" The pirate captain drew his sword, pointed it directly at Reina, and roared.

"Oh? Pirates! What's wrong? I heard pirates are all very hospitable, right? I saw it for myself today, and it's true! I didn't believe it at first!" Reina nodded, looking innocent.

"Captain, why waste words with him? Just tie him up and sell this woman too. We were originally planning to give you a quick death and kill you, but you've eaten so much of our food. How can we recoup our losses if we don't sell you?" A crew member stepped forward and shouted.

"Ah~ Ah~ They really are human traffickers! Wasn't Devil's Island destroyed by the Navy? How come it's still so easy to run into human traffickers!" Reina sighed and said.

"Oh? You actually know about Devil's Island? But let me tell you, the sea isn't so easy to navigate!" Another pirate swung his sword at Reina from behind.

"Two-round Flower - Binding!" Before Reina could even make a move, Robin had already struck first.

Suddenly, two hands grew out from behind the pirate who was wielding the sword, grabbing his hands firmly and preventing him from striking.

"Evil...a Devil Fruit user?" The pirate captain's expression changed immediately upon seeing Robin make her move.

But just as he was about to say something, Reina, who had been sitting there, appeared beside him at some point, grabbed him by the neck, and whispered, "You'd better not say what you're about to say. She's my daughter! My beloved daughter. Even if you just say something that makes her uncomfortable... I will... tear you to pieces!"

When Reina suddenly grabbed their captain, the pirates didn't rush to their rescue. Instead, they stared in terror at Reina and his daughter, too afraid to move.

"I didn't originally intend to do anything to you, after all, I've eaten quite a bit of your food, but since you're human traffickers..."

"Run...run!"

Before Reina could finish speaking, the pirates abandoned their captain and ran away.

The pirate captain, captured by Reina, was now flushed red, partly from holding back his anger and partly from the performance of his subordinates.

"Looks like you're not qualified to be a captain! Fine, I'm in a good mood today, so I'm too lazy to do anything. Get lost!" Reina shook his head and released the pirate captain.

"Cough cough cough..." The pirate captain, who had fallen to the ground, glanced at Reina with fear on his face, and immediately ran away without looking back. These two were no match for him, and he also wanted to go back and settle accounts with those bastards who had abandoned him, their captain.

Although it was unknown how the pirate captain treated his crew, the pirate ship docked at the shore soon set sail. Unfortunately, it was hit by a cannonball before it had gone very far.

"Boom~~~"

"Hmm?" Reina looked at the naval warship approaching from another direction and said with some surprise, "Is this place really that lively? Not only are there pirates, but there are also naval forces?"

It's worth noting that throughout the entire One Piece series, very few beings can be hit by bullets and cannonballs, but this group of pirates was just that unlucky. Not only did they run into Reina, but they were also directly hit by the Navy.

Soon, the pirate ship hit by the Navy began to sink. The pirates on board had no choice but to abandon ship and escape. However, because Reina was on the island, the pirates dared not go ashore and remained in the sea.

Before long, the warships in the distance slowly approached, and the huge number 23 on their sails made Reina feel a little dazed.

He fought Garp at the 23rd Division and was eventually defeated and captured.

"What's going on with those pirates? Why didn't they escape to the island?" The newly appointed Rear Admiral Hodge of the 23rd Division, standing at the bow of the ship, asked the naval soldier beside him, a cigar dangling from his lips, as he looked at the pirates in the sea.

The naval soldiers on the ship were also somewhat puzzled. After the group of pirates jumped into the sea, they neither ran away nor went ashore, which was completely different from the usual pirates.

"What's on that island?" Rear Admiral Hodge, cigar in mouth, looked at the island and said, "Those pirates seem to be afraid of something!"

The naval soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment, but just as they approached, Reina led Robin slowly to the shore.

"That is..." When Major General Hodge saw Reina's appearance clearly, his expression changed immediately, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to stop the ship.

"Sir?" The soldier looked at Hodge in confusion, not understanding why their major general would show a fearful expression after seeing those two people.

"Quickly, leave this place immediately and return to base!" Without time to explain, Hodge gave his subordinates the order to return.

Seeing the naval warship preparing to turn around, Reina was speechless; he hadn't even done anything yet!

"Father truly lives up to his reputation as a great pirate; even the Marines are scared away when they see him!" Robin said, covering her mouth and chuckling.

“These guys… are really hopeless!” Reina said with a laugh.

The pirates floating on the sea had been hoping for a battle between the Marines and Reina, which would give them a chance to escape. However, they were surprised to find that the Marines ran away as soon as they saw the two of them, which completely overturned their expectations.

Seeing that the navy was about to leave, Reina did not stop them. Instead, he went to the shore, and his hard shell slowly rose from the water, scaring away some of the surrounding pirates.

“Let’s go, we should go back!” Reina said to Robin as he climbed onto the hard shell’s back.

“Yes!” Robin nodded and followed Reina onto the hard shell’s back. This was no longer the Ohara she remembered. Ohara was destroyed, and she was the last one to inherit it!

With Reina and Robin gone, Rear Admiral Hodge of the 23rd Division of the Navy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir...who are those two people? Why are we running away?" the young naval soldier asked, puzzled.

In his view, no matter who the other party was, they were the navy, the most powerful force on the sea, and they shouldn't have to run away in such a sorry state.

“I don’t know who that woman is, but that man… I can’t be mistaken!” Major General Hodge exhaled a puff of smoke before slowly saying, “That man… destroyed half of the 23rd Division, and my predecessor, Major General Meck, died at his hands!”

"Huh?" The young naval soldier looked at Rear Admiral Hodge in surprise and said, "Destroyed...destroyed half of the branch? How is that possible?"

“Nothing is impossible… because that man… is… the great pirate… Akame Reyna! The vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, with a bounty of 1.3 billion Berries!” Rear Admiral Hodge said slowly.

Chapter 221 Robin's Decision

“That’s right, that’s exactly it. Your talent is far superior to mine!” Reina said, looking at Robin in front of him.

With nothing to do on the ship, Reina began teaching Robin a few things.

At first, he only taught Robin some fighting techniques and told her some ideas about joint locks. Robin, as expected of a future member of the main characters, learned very quickly and could even apply what she learned to other situations. She could quickly grasp many things that Reina had not mentioned or explained.

While learning combat skills, Reina also began to train Robin in some life skills.

But whether it's music, painting, sailing, or even playing games, Robin has shown extraordinary talent. If it weren't for Reina's system support, he would probably have been outshone by Robin.

"Hehehe... Father is truly amazing. Without Father's guidance, I would never have learned these things!" Robin covered his mouth and said with a laugh.

"Don't underestimate these skills just because they might seem useless. Sometimes they can save your life while sailing on the high seas. Learning a new skill gives you an extra ability to protect yourself in dangerous situations!" Reina said with a smile.

"Yes! I know. I've been exposed to these things since I was little, and my father taught me very clearly, which is why I learned so quickly!" Robin shook his head and said modestly.

Reina was taken aback. He then remembered that Robin was different from other children when she was young. While others were playing, she was already running around trying to save her own life.

"Feel sorry……"

"Why is Father apologizing? It's not your fault, and I'm perfectly fine now!" Robin said with a smile, tucking her wind-blown hair behind her ear.

“It will get better in the future!” Reina nodded and said.

As the two of them made their way toward the Calm Belt, Reina taught Robin all sorts of skills and knowledge.

"So? Have you thought it through? Do you want to come back to the Whitebeard Pirates with me, or go to Alabasta?" On this day, the two finally arrived at the Calm Belt, and it was time for Robin to make a choice.

"What choice does Father want me to make?" Robin asked after a moment of contemplation.

“This is a choice you should make yourself, not one I should make for you! From my personal perspective, I would like you to come back to the Whitebeard Pirates with me! But… I know very well that your future is not with the Whitebeard Pirates, so if it’s for your own good, you should go to Alabasta!” Reina replied seriously after thinking for a moment.

Robin remained silent for a long time, still unable to make a choice. She knew very well that Reina wanted her to go to Alabasta. Back then, Reina knew she wouldn't die in the destruction of Ohara, but he didn't choose to look for her. Besides not knowing she was his daughter, it was also because he knew his own future.

"Then I choose to go to Alabasta!" Just as Reina was about to ask Robin to return to the Whitebeard Pirates with him, Robin finally spoke up.

"Why?" Although Reina hoped Robin would go to Alabasta, he was heartbroken when Robin actually made the decision.

“Because…that’s what Father wanted!” Robin replied with a smile.

“No!” Reina suddenly shook his head and said seriously, “This is not what I want. What I want is your own choice!”

“Father…” Robin was taken aback. After understanding Reina’s words, she suddenly felt a warmth in her heart, a warmth that came from feeling loved and cared for.

“Although it’s great that you’re going to Alabasta, I believe… coming back to the Whitebeard Pirates with me won’t be any worse!” Reina said confidently.

Robin took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "I want to go to Alabasta. I want to see what kind of people those guys are. If they don't satisfy me, I'll tell my father to bring me back!"

Reina was taken aback; he hadn't expected Robin to say that.

That's right, the Robin of today is different from the Robin of the original story. He is no longer the Robin who was alone and helpless, and even considered giving up on life.

Now she has a loving father, a pirate crew known as the world's best, and Whitebeard as her godfather. She is no longer the Nico Robin with no background in the original work; her name is now Benedict D. Robin.

"Alright! Then just treat it as a fun trip! Here's my Vivre Card, take it safe. Also, keep this safe, it's a special Den Den Mushi that the professor researched. If you're in danger, just take out this Den Den Mushi and crush it. As soon as this Den Den Mushi dies, I'll know you're in danger immediately and will come as fast as I can!"

Reina first handed his Vivre Card to Robin, then gave him a mini Den Den Mushi, and gave him instructions.

"Okay, I understand!" Robin nodded. With her confusion resolved, she felt full of energy again.

Having decided on their next destination, the two changed direction and headed towards Upside Down Mountain.

If it's a calm zone, it's best to avoid it if possible. Even if they're riding in a hard-shelled vehicle, they could still be in danger if they encounter some ferocious sea kings.

After passing Reverse Mountain, the two arrived at the lighthouse at Twin Gorges.

“Hey~~~ Crocus~~ Are you there?” Standing in the front yard of the hard shell, Reina shouted loudly towards the lighthouse.

"Hmm? Is there anyone here that Father knows?" Robin asked curiously.

In her opinion, her father, who had been active in the New World for a long time, shouldn't know anyone here.

"Ah~ that guy! He's an old rival. He was the ship's doctor on Roger's ship. He's been staying here ever since the Roger Pirates disbanded!" Reina explained with a smile.

"A member of the Pirate King's crew?" Robin was surprised. She hadn't expected that such a legendary figure would be at the entrance to the Grand Line.

"Now he's just a leisurely old man!"

"Hmph, talking badly about others behind their backs is never a good thing!"

Just as Reina finished speaking, an old man emerged from a small house by the strait, looked sharply at the two of them, and said...

"Hahaha... Crocus, aren't you a leisurely old man now?" Reina ignored the other's gaze and laughed loudly.

Robin, on the other hand, upon learning the other person's identity and seeing the look in their eyes, immediately felt that they were indeed a great person.

But the old man's subsequent behavior immediately disappointed her.

"What? It's Reina! What brings you here?" Crocus immediately dropped his disguise and laughed loudly when he saw Reina.

Just as Reina and Robin were catching up with Crocus, at Marineford, Fleet Admiral Sengoku was in his office.

"Has the matter been settled?" Sengoku asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, it's confirmed. The girl next to Reina is none other than Nico Robin, the Devil's Child with a bounty of 7900 million Berries, a survivor of Ohara!" an officer replied, saluting.

“Nicole…” Sengoku fell into deep thought upon hearing Robin’s name. After a long while, he turned to Aokiji, who was wrapped in bandages, and said, “It seems that Reina recently found this Nico Robin, which is why he attacked you. It’s a way of avenging us for destroying Ohara back then. But who exactly is this Nico Robin? What is her relationship with Nico Olvia?”

Aokiji, sitting there, had a wry smile on his face. This explained why Reina was focused on hitting him, but then showed mercy in the end!

Afterwards, he thought about it carefully. Reina's last move could have been even more ruthless. Although it was related to Kizaru's timely rescue, he probably wouldn't have died there even without Kizaru. It seems that this is the favor he owed for letting Nico Robin go back then!

“Olvia… This matter was handled by the World Government back then. If we want to know the answer, it seems we have no choice but to go to them! But don’t get your hopes up too high, after all… Ohara has been destroyed!” Garp said seriously, which was unusual for him.
