Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Therefore, Xuan Yue Island is now more like a family concentration camp for the Whitebeard Pirates. Moreover, because of Sky Island, it is not afraid of being ambushed and can retreat at any time if it cannot win.

In addition, Reina has perfected the entire defense system, so even those who remain on the island can completely withstand attacks from ordinary pirate crews.

So Whitebeard once again led his crew on a life of adventure. The seas they were in now were seas they had never been to before, and the navigator was practically going crazy trying to perfect the nautical charts.

If we don't come to this unknown sea soon, not only Whitebeard, but even Reiner will be driven to the point of wanting to kill him by his constant nagging.

"Dad, a merchant ship has been spotted ahead! Should we go check it out?" Since Sky Island was left on Xuan Yue Island, their reconnaissance was naturally left to the lookout.

"Oh? It's been a long time since we've made a move. Hopefully, we can get off to a good start!" Upon hearing the lookout's voice, before Whitebeard could even speak, the crew members were already rubbing their hands together and shouting excitedly.

They set off from Xuan Yue Island, where they had always been on their own territory. The merchant ships there had all paid them protection money, so they naturally couldn't do anything. Now that they had arrived in unfamiliar waters, there were fewer rules, so the crew members were naturally excited.

"Go! Take all the treasure back! Don't forget, we're pirates!" Whitebeard said with a loud laugh.

So the Moby Dick charged straight at the merchant ship ahead.

As for the merchant ship opposite, Reina estimated that they probably hadn't reacted yet, since this wasn't a place the Whitebeard Pirates would come to.

Don't be fooled by those merchant ships; to trade in the New World, you really need some kind of powerful backing!

So when the Moby Dick arrived at the merchant ship, the other side had already raised a pirate flag that looked like a smiley face, and everyone came to the deck without resisting.

"Tch~ How boring!" Seeing that the other party had given up resisting, Lakyo said with a bored look.

“We are the Whitebeard Pirates, and anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn’t choose to resist!” Reina shrugged and said.

He had anticipated this. Once on board, they rarely resisted, unless they encountered a bloodthirsty pirate crew. Otherwise, most of them would choose to pay to save their lives!

Especially for a top-tier pirate crew like the Whitebeard Pirates, they have even less reason to take action.

Sure enough, after they boarded the ship, the captain first took out a lot of treasure, and in accordance with the regulations of this sea area, handed over half of the total value of the goods as protection money to the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, an angry Lakshmi refused their payment and claimed he would take all their treasure.

"My lords, we are a merchant caravan under the Don Quixote family. Could you please, for the sake of that lord, not take everything? If so, we really... really..." The caravan's captain was quite a character; tears streamed down his face without warning.

"The Donquixote Family? What the hell? Never heard of them. If he's not satisfied, let him come find me. I'm Rakuyo, the seventh division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates!" Rakuyo pushed the other man aside with an annoyed expression and demanded that his crew take all the treasure away.

The captain of the merchant ship, though heartbroken and shedding tears, did not dare to step forward to stop them.

"The Don Quixote family?" Reina frowned and asked immediately as he heard the crew members talking about what had just happened as a joke.

"Ah, yes, that's what the captain said earlier. Does the first mate know them?" a crew member asked in surprise.

"Hmm... I'll go take a look!" Upon hearing this, Reina jumped directly from the Moby Dick onto the merchant ship and indeed found the captain sitting to the side, crying sadly.

“Hey, who did you say your employer is? The Don Quixote family? The Don Quixote family from the North Sea?” Reina walked over and asked softly.

"Yes, yes, yes... Our young master was originally in the North Sea, but now he has come to the Grand Line. He also has some business in the New World, but it is not on a large scale. I really cannot afford the loss of this ship! Please be lenient, sirs!" The merchant ship captain said quickly, as if he had grasped a lifeline when he heard Reina's question.

"Ah~ So it really is one of Doflamingo's men! Rakuyo, they're from the underworld. I bet they have something else on this trip besides the goods. Check carefully!" Reina smiled slightly and said to Rakuyo.

Sure enough, upon hearing Reina's words, the captain's expression changed drastically, and the sadness on his face seemed to freeze.

Seeing this, Laco realized he had been deceived by this lowly merchant ship captain. He pulled out his enormous broom from his waist and said to the captain, "You dare to lie to me? I'll give you one last chance. Hand over everything, or else... I'll send you to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish!"

The merchant ship captain looked at Reina with a bitter expression. He didn't understand why, since the other party was an acquaintance of the young master, he not only didn't say anything nice, but also wanted to kill him.

"What are you looking at? You'd better do as he says. This guy's in a bad mood lately. If you anger him and get killed, don't say I didn't warn you!" Reina said with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, the merchant ship captain quickly led Lacjo to the bottom of the cabin.

It turned out that after they saw the Whitebeard Pirates' ship approaching them from afar, they immediately used ropes to hang all the smuggled weapons, packed them in waterproof boxes, and put them into the sea from the bottom of the ship to avoid inspection.

"Hahaha... These are really good stuff, more valuable than all the treasure on this ship! Luckily you were here, otherwise we would have been fooled by these guys!" After bringing all the smuggled weapons aboard, Lakyo and his team immediately beamed with joy.

Reina glanced at it briefly and then lost interest; he had absolutely no interest in the treasure or Berry.

"When you get back, just tell Doflamingo that I robbed him. If he's unhappy, he can come find me anytime... Oh, by the way, my name is Reina, don't forget... Benedict D. Reina, the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates!" Reina said to the captain of the merchant ship before leaving.

He told the other party his full name for two reasons. First, he wanted to protect Robin. Robin had a tag with his and Robin's names engraved on it. If Robin were in danger and the other party saw the tag, he hoped it would make them more cautious. That would be his goal.

Furthermore, as his strength has increased, he has gained the ability to protect himself, so it doesn't matter if the World Government finds out that his name contains the letter D.

Unless he does something that forces the World Government to eliminate him, the World Government will generally not provoke him.

Sure enough, after hearing Reina's words, the merchant ship captain was stunned for a moment before his expression changed drastically.

In terms of reputation, Reina is already famous throughout the world. He became a pirate quite early and was a contemporary of great pirates active in the New World, such as Roger, Whitebeard, Shiki, Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin.

Although he has always held the position of vice-captain, no one dares to underestimate him. If he had not stayed with the Whitebeard Pirates and instead established his own pirate crew, he would probably be the leader of a powerful force by now.

After robbing Doflamingo's merchant ship, the Whitebeard Pirates continued their journey, encountering many pirates along the way. Whenever Reina attacked, he would volunteer his full name, which piqued the curiosity of his crew and Whitebeard.

"Weren't you always hiding your name, kid? Why are you suddenly spreading it around?" the white-bearded man asked curiously.

“Robin has a tag with my name on it…” After Reina explained his thoughts, everyone burst into laughter, saying that he was about to become a doting father.

But Whitebeard didn't laugh. Instead, he said seriously, "Since you're worried about her, why not keep her with you? Even the World Government won't be able to take our family away from us!"

“My child has grown up and has her own ideas and pursuits. I shouldn’t stop her!” Reina said with a slight smile.

"Gurarararar... That's a great answer! Children... Let's have a feast today!" With the white-bearded man's command, everyone cheered.

Listening to Reiner and Whitebeard's conversation, they couldn't help but think of themselves.

Many of those who followed Whitebeard back then and considered themselves his sons have now formed their own pirate crews. Although some of them have become quite powerful, they still refer to themselves as members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

It was precisely because Whitebeard allowed them to go out and form a pirate crew that things turned out the way they are today.

This is similar to Reina letting Robin leave.

229 Delivery to Your Door

"What did you say...?" Doflamingo held the Den Den Mushi, a tic appearing on his forehead, and said in a deep voice.

"Young...Young Master..." A slightly fearful voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

"Hehehehe... Doflamingo... What happened?" Trebol walked up to Doflamingo and asked.

"The shipment of weapons destined for the Beasts Pirates in the New World has been stolen!" Doflamingo said softly.

"What? Who did this?" Torrebol asked in surprise.

"Benedict D. Reyna of the Whitebeard Pirates!" Doflamingo said in a deep voice, suppressing his anger.

“Beniri D. Reina? Reina?” Torrepol was taken aback and asked in surprise.

“That’s right… Fufufufu… This is getting more and more interesting! Tell Kaido that I will send him another batch of goods. Consider this one a gift for Reina!” Doflamingo suddenly laughed and said to the Den Den Mushi.

"Yes...yes! Young Master!" came the trembling voice from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Dover... what are you going to do?" Torrepol, with snot hanging from his nose, turned his head and asked.

"Fufufufu... The New World... It's time to move on! I heard the World Government is planning to establish the Seven Warlords of the Sea. I'll go find out more... and then try to get a spot. That stuff is useful! Also, the plans for Dressrosa can be moved up!" Doflamingo, wearing red sunglasses, said with a loud laugh.

"Hehehe... Is that so? That's really... great!" Torrebol replied with a slight smile.

"Also... about Corazon..." Doflamingo hesitated slightly before speaking.

"Hehehe...nei~ I think it's better to be cautious, after all, he's your brother!" Torrepol said in a strange tone.

"Hmph~ If he really did that kind of thing... then kill him!" Doflamingo said with a hint of cruelty.

“Then let’s not say such things before we have evidence! Hehehe…” Torrepol nodded and replied.

Just as Doflamingo was deciding on his next strategic plan, the Whitebeard Pirates arrived at a small island that was being attacked by pirates.

"Tsk tsk tsk... You dare to attack such a few stinking fish and shrimp? How boring!" Reina clapped his hands, knocked several pirates to the ground, and said with a smile.

"First mate, come quick! We've found a treasure vault!" At that moment, several members of the Whitebeard Pirates excitedly ran out of the cabin and shouted.

When they saw the island, they discovered that another pirate crew seemed to be robbing it, so Whitebeard led his men to attack.

Meanwhile, Reina led the members of the Second Division and directly occupied the enemy's pirate ship.

"Wow... my goodness... not bad at all!" Reina followed the team to the treasure vault inside the ship's cabin, discovered it was piled high with treasure, and immediately said with a grin, "Take all of this!"

"First mate, come and see... what's this?" A crew member excitedly approached Reina, holding a Devil Fruit, and shouted.

"Good heavens... we've struck gold this time! Take them all with you, and thoroughly search the entire cabin, don't miss anything!" Reina said, laughing as he took the Devil Fruit.

Soon, after moving all the treasures and valuables onto the Moby Dick, Reina prepared to take his men to the island. However, at that moment, he noticed that a naval warship seemed to be rapidly approaching from not far away.

"Tch~ These Marines came pretty fast~ Send someone to inform the captain that the Marines are here!" Reina stopped and said to the Second Division member beside him.

"Yes!"

Not far away, on a naval warship, a tall admiral wearing a perforated bull-horn mask and wielding a long-handled saw stood at the bow and said in a deep voice to his subordinates, "Damn it, why didn't you say the Whitebeard Pirates were here too? Immediately send out a signal requesting backup!"

"Yes, Major General Bastii!" The soldier beside him immediately saluted and replied.

It turns out he was Rear Admiral Bastet of the Marine Headquarters, known as the Shark Slayer. After completing his mission, he was preparing to return to headquarters when he received a distress signal from the island and learned that it was under attack by pirates, so he rushed over.

To their surprise, upon closer inspection, they discovered that the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick was docked in the harbor, its massive whale-shaped prow easily recognizable.

Even though he knew his opponent was the Whitebeard Pirates, his sense of justice wouldn't allow him to turn and run. So, aside from calling for help, the warship didn't slow down and headed straight for the port.

But just as he was about to reach the port, he suddenly spotted another pirate crew slowly sailing towards them... no, it was more like they were floating, because the pirates on board were all tied up tightly.

"What's going on? Pittman, go up and check it out!" Bastio, wearing a mask, said to his adjutant.

"Yes, sir!" Pittman leaped off the warship and landed on the pirate ship in mid-air.

"Hmm?" After carefully inspecting the ship, Pittman went to the ship's side and shouted to Bastiyu on the warship, "Sir, these pirates have all passed out, and it looks like they've been robbed!"

"Bring the warship closer and bring the pirate ship ashore!" Bastiyu said after a moment's thought.

Meanwhile, Reina, standing aboard the Moby Dick, saw that the Navy warship had actually brought the pirate ship over again. He curled his lip and said, "Are those Navy guys idiots? They know we're here and they still come ashore? Don't they like the gifts we're giving them?"

"First mate, you just threw the pirate ship over there like that, they have no idea what you mean by that! Besides, they're the Marines, why would they run away when they see us?" a member of the Second Division complained.

"Eh~? Alright then! In that case, we have no choice but to sink them!" Reina said, shrugging his shoulders and looking troubled.

"Boom boom boom..." Under Reina's command, the Moby Dick also fired countless shiny shells, but not a single one hit the navy's warship. The navy's cannons were the same; the Moby Dick was so big that they just couldn't hit it!

Of course, it was also related to the desperate defense of the members of the Second Division.

Finally, when the naval warships arrived in the port, the tentative artillery fire from both sides ceased.

"Whitebeard Pirates... I never expected you to be such a bloodthirsty pirate crew... Today, let my justice shatter your legend!" Rear Admiral Bastet shouted menacingly at Reina aboard Moby Dick, brandishing his long-handled saw.

Reina rolled his eyes and retorted, "Which eye of yours saw us indiscriminately killing innocent people? Didn't I just send the culprits over to you? You could have just taken them away. Why did you come all this way? Isn't this just making things awkward for both of us?"

Bastiyu paused for a moment, then shouted, "Who can believe you? This isn't something you pirates can decide!"
