Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

“Yes, Roger mentioned before that there was a tribe that had been guarding a historical text, so when I met them, I knew Roger was talking about them,” Whitebeard said, leaning against the ship’s railing.

"Then why fight them, brother? Why not just explain things clearly?" Reina asked, puzzled.

"Gurararara... These warrior races won't listen to your explanations. Roger said he also secretly infiltrated their holy land back then! So the best way to deal with them is to beat them into submission first!" Whitebeard said with a loud laugh.

Reina smiled slightly. Very good, this white-bearded man!

Whitebeard and Roger were very different, and they handled things differently. Reina preferred Whitebeard's domineering personality. After all, he was a pirate... so it was only right for him to steal from you, wasn't it?

Compared to Whitebeard, Roger was more of an adventurer than a pirate.

"Father, are we canceling the banquet today?" Sachi, who was carrying the prepared food back onto the ship, called out to Whitebeard.

"Let's get back on the ship and sail!" Whitebeard replied with a smile.

"Why did you leave in such a hurry, brother?" Reina asked with a slight smile, knowing the answer already.

"Gurarararar... A real man doesn't like owing favors to others, and I... don't like seeing a man shed tears!" The white-bearded man laughed and turned back to the cabin.

Reina smiled slightly, looking at the Moby Dick, which was ready to set sail at any time. He could sense that a powerful figure was rapidly approaching. Without a doubt, it must be the leader of the Piltovers.

Sure enough, the other side had already reached the shore as soon as the Moby Dick set sail.

"Hey... pirates... you must come again next time! Then... then... I'll fight you again!" Pilt's leader shouted loudly towards the Moby Dick while shedding tears.

He had a lot of gratitude to express to the other person, and now he fully understood the truth of the matter. Unfortunately, the other person left too quickly and didn't give him a chance at all.

But all his words, in the end, turned into an invitation to battle.

Reina stood at the stern and waved goodbye to the other person.

In the evening, the banquet on the Moby Dick finally began. Without the spirits, the crew members were surprised to find that... their alcohol tolerance had increased significantly.

As a result, even Sachi started to feel a little distressed about the amount of alcohol consumed at this banquet.

“These years… have really been tough on Reina!” Sachi said with a sigh, looking at the empty barrel of wine.

At the original banquets, Reina was in charge of the drinks, and they didn't know exactly how much alcohol was consumed at each banquet.

However, after Whitebeard ordered Reiner not to produce any more liquor, he also put Thatch in charge of the life management on the Moby Dick, completely freeing Reiner from these responsibilities.

After a banquet, Sachi realized... that they had unknowingly become such heavy drinkers.

"Father, it seems we need to find a small island to replenish our supplies as soon as possible!" As the banquet was about to end, Sachi found Whitebeard and explained the situation to him.

"It seems Reina has sacrificed a lot for the pirate crew over the years!" Whitebeard glanced at Reina, who was drinking with Lakuyo and the others, and said softly.

“Hmm! If it’s really as my father suspects, and Reina’s liquor was obtained by exchanging his body… then a complete ban on liquor is absolutely necessary!” Sachi replied, his expression turning serious.

"That's for sure... I know that kid's situation better than any of you! He had tremendous potential back then, otherwise Kaido, Shiki, and Linlin wouldn't have invited him to join their crew so many times!"

But I find it a bit unbelievable that he has never awakened Conqueror's Haki! However, this was decided at birth, so I didn't think much of it!

Later, when he suddenly awakened Conqueror's Haki, I found it a bit strange! If he really had that kind of talent, with all his hard work, it's impossible that he only awakened it at that time! But he's always been mysterious, and the origin of his abilities is unknown, so I couldn't ask him too much!

We know that he must have had some health problem this time, forcing him to stop supplying the liquor; otherwise, we'd probably still be in the dark!

The white-bearded man said, slightly annoyed.

In his heart, he always regarded Reina as family. Reina was a veteran who co-founded the Whitebeard Pirates with him. However, Reina kept such an important matter from him and kept bringing out white wine to satisfy his appetite.

In fact, Reina had said more than once that the supply of baijiu was limited, but he would still reluctantly bring out baijiu at every banquet.

At the time, everyone took it as a joke and didn't understand why he was so reluctant to part with it; they thought he was just being stingy.

Looking back now, Whitebeard felt even more guilty, because he was the "culprit" who made Reyner keep bringing out white wine!

“Dad…why don’t you ask Reina to find out if there’s any way to salvage this? Many hands make light work. If there’s a way, we can still get our hands on it!” Sachi said, looking guilty.

"Don't you know that kid's personality? Even if I ask him, he won't tell! Forget it... let him handle this himself! He'll tell us when he needs to!" Whitebeard thought for a moment and then shook his head.

Chapter 251 The Establishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea

"Brother Tiger... do you really think the Navy... no, the World Government will make me one of the so-called Seven Warlords of the Sea?" On a sea in the New World, Jinbe asked his captain Tiger with a helpless expression.

"Don't worry! There won't be any problems. Reina said he's already arranged everything!" Tiger said confidently.

Tiger was very happy after receiving Reyner's letter.

Although they did not find Reina on Crescent Island, they received a letter from Reina shortly after leaving.

In the letter, Reina told him that the World Government was planning to form an organization called the Seven Warlords of the Sea, which was essentially a way to recruit pirates and have them assist the Navy in fighting against pirates.

Therefore, the great pirates of the New World will not accept this invitation. As a second choice, the World Government will inevitably invite those who are second only to them in status as great pirates, but it is uncertain whether they can gather seven people.

So now their opportunity has come. If any of them becomes one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they will become a bridge between the fish-men and the World Government.

This matter is of extraordinary significance, and he, Queen Otohime of Fishman Island, and even King Neptune would surely agree and approve of it.

So as soon as he received Reina's message, Tiger started working on it and told Jinbe.

However, Jinbe felt that Tiger was more suitable to be the Shichibukai than him, so he somewhat refused.

"Idiot, Reina and I went to Mary Geoise! ​​How could the World Government possibly agree to let me become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? And have you forgotten? I've been expelled from Fishman Island! So it's better if you take this position!" Tiger wasn't unhappy that Reina recommended Jinbe; on the contrary, he felt that Reina's analysis was more reasonable, and Jinbe was the most suitable candidate.

"But...Brother Tai..."

"Alright, that's settled then. Once this is finalized, you'll go to Mary Geoise and get this done completely!"

Jinbe wanted to say something, but Tiger interrupted him.

On the other side, Shanks, the red-haired man, also received a letter from Reina.

"That bastard... just as Mr. Rayleigh said, he really went to find Luffy!" Shanks looked at Reiner's explanation in the letter and was both amused and exasperated.

However, no matter what, it was his own fault for not keeping his promise to Reina.

So he said to the pirate who came to deliver the message, "Alright, go back and tell Reina that I have agreed to his request!"

"In that case... I'll take my leave now!" The pirate who delivered the letter was not a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, but the captain of a pirate crew.

However, his entire pirate crew had already joined the Whitebeard Pirates, so he was considered Whitebeard's subordinate.

"Boss, what did Reina say?" Lucky Roux asked curiously after the pirate who delivered the message left.

"He said he had met Luffy, but didn't do anything to him! And as the party who breached the contract, I have to agree to one of his requests!" Shanks said, looking like he had swallowed a dead fly.

"What are the requirements?" asked the first mate, Ben Beckman, who was smoking a cigarette.

"That means when the Whitebeard Pirates need me, I must stand on their side in the name of the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates!" Shanks said solemnly.

"So... we'll be their allies when they need us? What a clever plan!" Ben Beckman instantly understood what Reiner meant.

"There's no way around it... That guy isn't one to suffer a loss. If I don't agree... do you believe he'll come knocking on my door right away?" Shanks said with a smile.

"So it seems... he foresaw that the Whitebeard Pirates would be in danger in the future, so he was preparing for it? But if even the Whitebeard Pirates are in danger... that's obviously not a good thing!" Ben Beckman exhaled a puff of smoke, sighed, and said.

"What? Don't you have confidence in yourself?" Shanks asked with a smile.

"Of course not... No matter the danger... it can't stop us!" Ben Beckman said confidently. "Rayner must have recognized our strength to make this decision! In that case, we are his trump card to turn the tide!"

Meanwhile, the port of Jomaria is under full lockdown because several notorious pirates have arrived today: Crocodile, known as the King of the Desert; Boa Hancock, the queen of Amazon Lily and captain of the Kuja Pirates; Gecko Moria, a former Supernova with a gigantic and bizarre appearance, the Shadow-Shadow Fruit user and captain of the Gecko Pirates; and Donquixote Doflamingo, who has recently risen to fame and is known as the Heavenly Demon and the Sea Rogue.

Meanwhile, in an office in Mary Geoise, the Five Elders were handing a stack of documents to Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

"Send someone to contact these three people as well. If there are no problems, then let these seven form the Seven Warlords of the Sea!" said one of the Five Elders, dressed in a dark blue suit, with long, straight white hair and a long beard, to Sengoku.

"King of the Sorbet Kingdom, the tyrant, Bartholomew Kuma? Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea of ​​the Sun Pirates, is that a fish-man? Dracule Mihawk?" After reading the documents in his hand, Sengoku said softly, "This so-called Seven Warlords of the Sea... it's an insult to the Navy!"

"There's no insult involved! You just need to follow orders. The four confirmed members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea will arrive in Mary Geoise today. Tell your subordinates not to cause any trouble!" One of the Five Elders, a bald man with a sword in his hand, wearing a white robe, and glasses, said to Sengoku with a hint of warning.

Sengoku chuckled lightly, stood up, and said, "Is there anything else you need to instruct me on? If not, I'll be leaving now!"

After saying that, he left the office without waiting for the Five Elders' reaction.

"Hmph! The navy these days is really..."

"Forget it, they're bound to be unhappy about this anyway, but we can just ignore it!"

After Sengoku left, the Five Elders showed some dissatisfaction.

However, an even more troublesome problem soon arose for the Five Elders: none of the four pirates who arrived this time were themselves; they all chose to have their subordinates in their place.

Crocodile's side sent a pirate codenamed Mr. 1, Boa Hancock sent her sister Boa Sandersonia, Gecko Moria's side was represented by Absalom who had undergone modification, and finally Donquixote Doflamingo's side was Diamante, the leader of the Diamond Army.

When the four arrived at the meeting room, Sengoku was not surprised. Which pirate was so easy to get along with? They were all shrewd and intelligent; how could they possibly put themselves in danger?

It is impossible for him to appear in Mary Geoise before a real agreement is reached with the World Government.

In Diamanti's words, their captain would only be able to come in person once the World Government publicly announced their new identities.

Therefore, none of the things that should have been discussed were discussed. After confirming that the four of them would become the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Sengoku dismissed the meeting.

"A pirate is a pirate... Hmph!" After the others left, Sengoku snorted and left the Mary Geoise conference room.

A few days later, a statement from the world government caused a huge uproar throughout the world.

"The World Government actually openly acknowledges the status of pirates... Are they insane?"

"When did... pirates become a respectable profession?"

"Huh? There are actually pirates willing to follow the orders of those bastards from the World Government and become their lackeys? We don't recognize people like that as pirates!"

The formation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea has sparked much discussion around the world, but nothing has changed the official announcement.

"Hawkeye" Jorah Mihawk

"Bartholomew Bear the Tyrant"

"Donquixote Doflamingo, the Heavenly Demon!"

"Empress Boa Hancock!"

"Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea!"

"Shah Crocodile, the King of the Desert!"

"Gecko Moria, the King of Terror!"

The bounties on the seven notorious pirates, recognized by the World Government, were simultaneously revoked, but their fame only grew.

The World Government's statement explained that the reason for establishing the Seven Warlords of the Sea was to resist the great pirates of the New World.

In the New World, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, and the Big Mom Pirates reign supreme on the seas like emperors, with the Whitebeard Pirates being the most powerful. The main purpose of establishing the Seven Warlords of the Sea was to control them.

What they didn't know was that, because of Reyna's existence, their initial goal was already impossible to achieve when the Seven Warlords of the Sea were formed.
