Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

After a while, Bell also returned to the city from outside the city.

"My lord... how is the situation?" The soldiers of the royal army immediately stepped forward and asked when they saw that Bell had returned so quickly.

Bell shook his head and said, "Crocodile... has lost!"

"What?!" The soldiers of the King's Army were all surprised. They hadn't felt anything, yet Crocodile had been defeated.

Upon hearing Bell's words, a man with a tattoo visible on his arm among the King's Army, a flicker of panic in his eyes, asked, "Lord Bell, then Crocodile... is he dead?"

"No, it seems the other party didn't intend to kill him. They left after defeating him!" Bell didn't reveal what he had heard; the fact was rather shocking. He planned to report it to the king when he returned.

Soon after receiving news from Bell, the city lifted the alert. Although the residents were somewhat puzzled, the King's Army had always had a good reputation, so no one questioned it.

That day, after replenishing his supplies, Reina left Alabasta. He believed that after this incident, Crocodile would be much more cautious in dealing with Robin, and would not easily touch her unless he was absolutely certain.

After Crocodile returned to headquarters, he didn't mention the incident to anyone. However, Robin knew that her father must have done something, otherwise Crocodile wouldn't be so calm, so completely different from his usual self.

"Nicole Robin! We're going to be busy from now on, so we need to speed things up!" A few days later, Crocodile simply instructed Robin to expedite the tasks she needed to complete.

At this point, Robin didn't know much about Crocodile's plan. She only knew about the part she was in charge of. Crocodile had delegated many other high-ranking agents to handle other matters, so she was unaware of them.

But these things didn't concern her much, so she just did her job and waited for the group her father had mentioned to appear.

Right after Reyner and Crocodile's battle ended, Bell returned directly to Albana to report to the king everything he had seen and heard that day.

“Nicole Robin? Did you hear me right?” Cobra fell into deep thought after hearing Bell’s report.

"I never imagined that there would be such a person in our country. Since he has such a close relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates, why would he come here to join Crocodile? The Whitebeard Pirates even sent their vice-captain to warn Crocodile. This is just too strange!" Jackal asked in bewilderment.

"Well, well, well, cough cough... Whatever the reason, since the Whitebeard Pirates warned Crocodile, it proves that they also value Nico Robin very much. We'd better find out who she is, otherwise it would be bad if there were any misunderstandings!" Captain Icarus of the guard cleared his throat and then said.

"There's a reason why the Whitebeard Pirates value Nico Robin so much!" At this moment, the king suddenly looked up and said with a serious expression, "If nothing unexpected happens, this Nico Robin should be the one with a bounty of 7900 million Berries, the one known as the Devil's Child!"

"Ah? Your Majesty, you know this person?" Jaka, Bel, and Icarum all looked at the king and asked curiously.

“I’ve never met her, but I know her! She’s a survivor from Ohara, the last person in the world who can decipher ancient scripts. She’s a very dangerous being to the world, so even the Whitebeard Pirates must have been eyeing her abilities!” Cobra nodded and said seriously.

"Your Majesty... what should we do?" Jaka asked tentatively.

After thinking for a moment, Cobra said, "Don't do anything for now. First, arrange for someone to find Nico Robin and find out what her purpose is in coming to Alabasta. Then, have someone monitor her every move. She is very dangerous, and now the Whitebeard Pirates are behind her. We can't act recklessly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After bowing, the three men slowly withdrew and arranged for someone to search for Robin's whereabouts.

Meanwhile, Reina, who was riding in his hard-shelled vehicle towards the Sabaody Archipelago, suddenly felt a little out of sorts after being separated from Robin.

Originally, the hard shell only had one room for Reina, one study, and one guest room. Because of Robin, Reina converted his room into Robin's, and the study was converted into his bedroom.

So now, whenever he sees Robin's room, he can't help but think of Robin.

"Phew~ Oh well, the child's grown up, following Luffy is definitely the best choice for her!" Reina chuckled self-deprecatingly. When did he become so sentimental?

Time passed slowly, and when Reina returned to the Sabaody Archipelago, he couldn't help but smile. He figured Rayleigh would be very unwelcoming to see him!

After the Whitebeard Pirates wreaked havoc on Sabaody Archipelago, the Navy imposed strict controls on the islands, and Rayleigh must have had a very difficult time during that period.

However, having already arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, if he couldn't go see Rayleigh, he had to go see the Hancock sisters! So, after sending Hardshell off to play, Reina leisurely walked towards Shakky's shop.

"Dong dong dong..."

“Judging by the time, that guy should be here by now. Marigold, go open the door!” Rayleigh’s voice came from inside the room.

"Creak~~"

"Uncle Reina!"

The door opened, and Marigold shouted with delight.

“Call me brother! Marigold, it’s been a long time, you’ve gotten even more beautiful!” Reina patted Marigold’s head and said with a smile.

"Tch~ Don't you know what era you're from? You even make a little girl call you brother, how shameless!" Before Reina even went in, he heard Reilly's teasing voice.

“Brother Rayleigh, when you were making your names, I was just a kid! Now that you’ve all retired, it’s my turn to make my name. If you’re really sure, we’re not from the same era!” Rayleigh replied with a smile.

"Don't talk to me, go talk to the Navy and see if they believe you!" Rayleigh said dismissively, curling his lip.

"Huh? Gloriosa? What are you doing here?" Reina entered the room and discovered that, in addition to the Hancock sisters and Rayleigh and his wife, Gloriosa, the former queen of Amazon Lily, was also there.

“The King is seriously ill, and I have come to take Hancock and the others back!” Glorios said expressionlessly.

Compared to before, Gloriosa looks older and is now quite similar to her appearance in the original work.

"Oh? Is that so? In that case... Hancock, our plan can proceed!" Reina's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that he would arrive just in time for Hancock's return to Amazon Lily to inherit the throne.

"But...do we really have to kill Liuliu?" Hancock asked with a heavy expression.

"Idiot, I was just saying. Do you really want me to do it? The three of you and Gloriosa will go straight back to Amazon Lily. I'll arrange for Liuliu to change his appearance and launch an attack. Then you can just follow the plan!" Reina said with a smile.

"What plan? Why don't I know about it?" Gloriaosa frowned immediately and asked.

Reina knew that Gloriosa was no outsider, so he explained his plan.

He planned to have Liu Liu play Aragorn, a monster from the Calm Belt, a legendary creature whose gaze could turn anyone to stone.

Then the three Hancock sisters will step in to save Amazon Lily, making their return easier and also covering up the mark of the Dragon Hoof behind them.

Since Hancock already possessed the ability to petrify others, it can be directly explained that she stole Aragorn's power.

The three Hancock sisters were initially worried when they heard Reina tell Gloriosa about the plan, but to their surprise, Gloriosa clapped her hands in approval after hearing it and, following some of Amazon Lily's customs and style, made the plan even more perfect.

“Now all we need is a sea king that looks like Liu Liu. We can take its head to replace Liu Liu!” After negotiating all the details, Reina said with satisfaction.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? It's just hunting sea kings, isn't this kid more suitable?" Seeing that several people, including Reina, were looking at him, Rayleigh immediately felt an ominous premonition, waved his hand, and refused.

“Isn’t Uncle Rayleigh the right hand of the Pirate King? He’s a legendary and powerful pirate! Of course, I have to ask you for help with this difficult task!” Boa Marigold said to Rayleigh with an innocent look on her face.

"No, I'm too old to do this anymore. Let your brother Reina do it; he's young!" Reilly yawned and refused.

"Really? I was planning to give you a bottle of baijiu as a thank you gift, but it seems I won't be able to give it to you now!" Reina took out a bottle of baijiu from his pocket, placed it on the table, and said with feigned regret.

"Baijiu?" Rayleigh's eyes flashed, and before Reina could put the baijiu away, he snatched it from his hand, opened the cap, smelled it, and exclaimed, "No wonder it's baijiu that costs as much as gold, it smells so good!"

Seeing the liquor already in Rayleigh's hand, Reina's face darkened, and he said, "This... and you still dare to say you're too old?"

"Hahahaha... Just a mere Sea King? I'll take the job!" Rayleigh handed the bottle of liquor to Shakky and said with a loud laugh.

Xia Qi then swayed her body and slowly walked into the back room, carefully storing the liquor away.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Sister Shaki... How can you stay young forever? There's not a trace of time on you!" Reina said with admiration as he watched Shaki go in.

“You should say that to yourself! Look at yourself, and then look at us… If you say we’re not from the same era, some people might actually believe you!” Rayleigh said with a disdainful look.

Chapter 226 The Return of Boa Hancock

With Rayleigh's help, a mere Sea King was a piece of cake to capture. However, because it had to look similar to Liuliu, the search took some time.

Once everything was ready, Gloria set off first with the three Hancock sisters, while Reina followed behind them in his hard-shell car. Upon arriving in Amazon Lily, they would begin to execute their plan.

Not long after, Gloriosa brought the three Hancock sisters to Amazon Lily. Just as Gloriosa had predicted, many citizens came that day to see the three Hancock sisters.

At the banquet welcoming them, Reina received a signal from Gloria Osa and immediately ordered Liuliu to step forward and make intimidating gestures.

However, the people of Amazon Lily lived up to their reputation as the warrior race known as the Nine Serpents. Facing the Sea King Liuliu, they were not intimidated at all. On the contrary, they all drew their bows and arrows, attempting to attack Liuliu.

Fortunately, Gloria and Hancock together stopped the Kuja people, otherwise, Ryu might have really died here.

"Everyone, don't be impulsive! This monster is very likely Aragorn, the Demon Lord of the Calm Belt, who has the ability to petrify people!" Gloria stepped forward, drawing everyone's attention to her, while Hancock secretly used her power to petrify several Kuja warriors around her.

Sure enough, seeing their comrades petrified for no reason, and with Gloriosa's reminder, all the Kuja warriors became even more cautious.

Seeing this, Hancock and Gloria exchanged a quick glance, then stepped forward and said, "We three sisters have been away from home for most of the year and haven't done much for Amazon Lily. Now that Aragorn has attacked, let us three sisters handle it. If we unfortunately lose our lives, as long as we can protect everyone's safety, we will be willing to do so!"

After saying that, Hancock took her two sisters and boarded a small boat, heading towards Liuliu in the distance.

Seeing this, many of the Nine Serpents warriors also wanted to go together, since there is more strength in numbers.

However, Gloria stopped them and told them that although it was dangerous, it was also a test for the three Hancock sisters. If they could return safely, then Hancock could inherit the throne after the king's death.

At this moment, the Kuja warriors were in a frenzy, and without a second thought, they all agreed to Gloriosa's suggestion, which brought a satisfied smile to Gloriosa's face.

Over there, Hancock and Sloth ran further and further away, until they completely disappeared from the sight of Amazon Lily's Kuja citizens.

"Phew~ Alright, let's rest on that island for a few days for now!" After seeing that Amazon Lily was no longer visible, Hancock wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to her two sisters.

This was her first time acting, so she was naturally a little nervous. Her two younger sisters didn't say a word the whole time, afraid of saying something wrong and revealing a flaw.

After the three arrived at the island, they sat down to rest. This was the meeting point they had arranged beforehand, and they expected Reina to arrive in a little while.

Sure enough, Reina arrived at the island very soon.

"You guys... aren't you running way too fast? If I didn't know better, I'd think you were chasing after the enemy!" Reina teased the three sisters after landing.

"Uncle Reina, you have no idea how nervous I was. I was afraid someone would see through my act, and you actually laughed at us!" said the third brother, Marigold, with a hint of embarrassment.

"Hahaha...So what if you figured it out! What does it matter? You guys should learn from Hancock. Look at your eldest sister, she doesn't seem nervous at all!" Reina said, pointing at the seemingly calm Hancock and laughing.

"That...that's of course, it's just a small matter!" Although Hancock was also nervous, she still maintained considerable dignity in front of her sister.

Sure enough, as soon as Hancock finished speaking, she received admiring looks from her sisters.

Reina smiled slightly and did not expose her.

A few days later, Rainer returned to Amazon Lily with the three sisters.

Reina's original plan was for the three sisters to complete the achievement of killing the monster "Aragorn" on their own, but Gloriosa said that it would not seem realistic. Although it would seem powerful for three girls to kill such a terrible monster on their own, it would feel somewhat unreal.

It would be better to have Reina accompany the three sisters. This would not only appear more authentic but also showcase their connections, giving the public a better image.

So in the end, following Gloriosa's wishes, Reina accompanied the three sisters back to Amazon Lily.

When the three Hancock sisters appeared near Amazon Lily, the warriors of Kuja cheered, for they were simply worshippers of strength.

Although Reiner's appearance made them somewhat unhappy, they were relieved after learning that he was a friend the Hancock sisters had met on the high seas, since Reiner had no intention of entering Amazon Lily anyway.

After exchanging a few perfunctory pleasantries with Gloria and the others, Reina took the opportunity to say goodbye, leaving amidst the grateful gazes of the three sisters.

After leaving Amazon Lily, Reina simply went to the Calm Belt and entered the New World. Although the journey was a bit dangerous, with Reina's current strength, there shouldn't be too much danger. The only concern was that Hard Shell might be targeted by other Sea Kings, so Reina specifically asked Liu Liu to follow along so that they could support each other if anything happened.

Upon entering the New World, Reina received some big news: Shanks and Mihawk were dueling in the New World.

The news of their duel spread like wildfire throughout the New World, making them incredibly famous and the talk of the town.

Meanwhile, at Marineford, the naval headquarters, in the office of Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

"What do you think of this news?" Sengoku asked his old friend Garp with a serious expression.

"This matter... can't be confirmed yet! Although it's true that Reina and Olvia secretly married back then, there's no information to suggest that the child is theirs! And the possibility of this Nicole Robin being that child is even lower!"
