Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

The remaining members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, after receiving the message from the Navy, also prepared to go to the New World. They did not expect to fight the Whitebeard Pirates; they just wanted to go and see what was going on.

Meanwhile, on a small island in the New World, the Red-Haired Pirates were preparing for their mission, but they had not received any news from Reina.

"Boss, someone's here!" A pirate approached Shanks and whispered.

"Hmm? Are they from the Whitebeard Pirates?" Shanks asked, looking up.

"No, it's me! You really did reach some kind of agreement with the Whitebeard Pirates!" Mihawk, carrying one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords, "Yoru," walked over from a distance and said.

"Oh, it's Mihawk! What brings you here?" Shanks said with a slight smile.

Mihawk handed the summons to Shanks and said, "The World Government has issued a summons to us! What exactly are you planning to do?"

"If I said I didn't know either... would you believe me?" Shanks shrugged helplessly and replied.

"Hmm?" Mihawk looked at Shanks with surprise, then said directly, "Then I'm leaving!"

"You're leaving already? You're not really planning to fight the Whitebeard Pirates, are you? You know how petty Reina is. If he holds a grudge again, you'll have to deal with him yourself next time! That guy is getting stronger and stronger!" Shanks said with a resentful look.

Mihawk, who was about to leave, paused and said softly, "Thanks for what happened last time, but if there's a next time, I'll handle it myself! After all... you're disabled now!"

Shanks' face darkened upon hearing Mihawk's words, and he immediately stood up, saying, "You bastard, who's disabled? Want to try and fight me?"

“I have no interest in you now that you’ve lost an arm!” Mihawk said softly.

Although Mihawk remained calm, Shanks was so angry that he jumped up and down, threatening to teach him a lesson.

Meanwhile, at the center of everything, on Xuan Yue Island, Reina stood on the slowly rising sky island, stroking a longsword.

"Does this mean I should adopt a dual-wielding style?" Reina looked at the Hyōrinmaru hanging at his waist, then at the longsword in his hand, and for a moment he was at a loss for what to do.

He obtained three weapons from the system. The first one was the Muramasa, a demon sword, which he gifted to Hansen.

The second sword was the Hyōrinmaru at his waist, the sword that accompanied him throughout his battles.

The third weapon in his hand was the second Zanpakuto he had obtained from the treasure chest after the last treasure hunt—Senbonzakura!

"It's really... impossible to choose! I'm already quite used to Hyōrinmaru, but Senbonzakura is also very powerful and cool!" Reina stroked the blade of Senbonzakura, truly unable to make a choice.

It wasn't that he didn't want to possess two Zanpakuto at the same time, but... the Zanpakuto wouldn't allow it.

Unlike ordinary weapons, a Zanpakuto possesses its own soul, and it will never allow its master to have another Zanpakuto.

Therefore, Reina must make a choice, otherwise he might not even be able to activate the Shikai and Bankai states of Hyōrinmaru.

"This is really troublesome! But Hyōrinmaru has been my partner in battle for so long, I really can't give up on him! Senbonzakura, I guess you'll have to continue resting!" Reina sighed and put Senbonzakura back into his dimensional inventory.

When Reina made his choice, the light on the Senbonzakura sword dimmed instantly, while the Hyōrinmaru at his waist shone brightly.

Chapter 255 Arrival at G10 Branch

"How's the situation?" Reina asked Marco, who had just arrived at the Sky Island.

"Everything is proceeding according to plan. The movement of the Moby Dick has taken away most of the naval and other forces' surveillance ships! Only a few naval surveillance ships are still around, but they have all been dealt with!" Marco replied with a smile.

"Do you know how they monitor the Sky Island?" Reina nodded and asked.

"Just as you guessed, they're checking if Sky Island is still on Crescent Moon Island!" Marco said, shrugging slightly.

“Very good! Then let’s set off!” Reina glanced at Xuan Yue Island below and said with a smile.

Just as the sky island took off, the people who remained on Xuan Yue Island filled the large pit left by the sky island with good quality stones. Although it was obvious up close, from a distance it looked as if the sky island was still on Xuan Yue Island.

On the Moby Dick, Blenheim paced restlessly around the deck for a while before deciding to return to his cabin.

"Captain Blenheim, where are you going? You're the boss now! You're supposed to sit here!" The members of the Ninth Division couldn't help but laugh at their captain's timid manner.

"Um... can't I go back to my cabin? Dad often stays in his cabin too!" Blenheim said somewhat awkwardly.

He's currently impersonating Whitebeard, and everything from his clothes and weapons is exactly the same as Whitebeard's. From a distance, it's really hard to tell the difference, but once you get up close, you can immediately tell the difference.

"Please... Captain, you're pretending to be Daddy right now, deceiving those guys. If you go back to the cabin, what will they still be watching?" The members of the Ninth Division all spoke up.

Left with no other choice, Blenheim sat in the chair that Whitebeard usually sat in, but he still felt uneasy sitting there.

“This is Dad’s seat. Is it inappropriate for me to sit here? Maybe I should go back to the cabin!” Blenheim asked tentatively.

The members of the Ninth Division rolled their eyes and looked at their captain. They never realized that their captain was such a coward.

However, in order to avoid giving away the secret, they had no choice but to let Blenheim go into the cabin to rest.

Their destination was the Big Mom Pirates' Whole Cake Island, in order to draw everyone's attention there and make it easier for the real Whitebeard Pirates' main force to act.

"It's about time, let's get started!" On the seabed, several pirate ships, similar in shape to Moby Dick but smaller, were traversing the ocean floor.

“Reina’s idea is really good. If we go underwater, we won’t be discovered!” Vista said with a smile.

Surrounding him were the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates, members of various combat squads, and most of the captains.

"We're heading in the right direction, aren't we? It would be terrible if we ended up in the wrong place!" Lakyo looked around and asked with some concern.

"Don't worry! Liu Liu and Namuel are leading the way, there won't be any problems!" Sachi said with a smile.

According to Reina's plan, the entire Whitebeard Pirates were divided into several parts, each using its own methods to converge on the Navy's G10 division.

First, there are the various pirate crews under the Whitebeard Pirates, which are the largest in number. They are numerous and the most difficult to control, but once they are broken up into smaller groups, they are also the most difficult for the Navy to track.

Therefore, Reina ordered them to split up and head towards the G10 branch, and to lie in ambush in the various sea areas leading to the G10 branch.

This not only reduces the chances of being detected by the navy, but also avoids attracting attention from others.

In addition, Whitebeard, Reina, and Marco are on Skypiea. They used a trick to pretend that Skypiea is still on Crescent Moon Island, but in reality, they have already made their way to the G10 branch via Skypiea.

Finally, there were all the main combat units, including the captains, who used the coated small Moby Dick to travel underwater to the G10 branch, doing so without anyone noticing.

In addition to these, Reyner also had Blenheim, who was the closest in stature to Whitebeard, impersonate Whitebeard and travel to Whole Cake Island, the headquarters of the Big Mom Pirates, aboard the real Moby Dick, in order to attract the world's attention.

The clash between two pirate crews that control the New World is bound to attract global attention, and the Navy will not dare to relax its vigilance, certainly deploying a large amount of surveillance resources in this regard.

Furthermore, he took advantage of what Shanks had promised him, causing Shanks to misunderstand and resulting in the Red-Haired Pirates gathering, making the situation even more chaotic.

Although the Navy has the addition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Reina had already learned through Moria and Hancock that they were gathering at the Navy's G1 branch. Reina had also made arrangements so that even if they rushed to the G10 branch to provide assistance, they would definitely not make it in time.

That night, the Sky Island finally stopped advancing.

"Rena, we've arrived over the G10 naval division!" Dr. Assie approached Rena and said with a complicated expression.

"Doctor, don't worry! Although we are pirates, we are definitely not indiscriminate killers. This operation is only to settle accounts with those bastards who traffic people!" Reina knew what Dr. Assie was worried about.

Such a large-scale battle would inevitably involve many innocent people, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, so he felt somewhat reluctant.

“I know, just be careful!” Dr. Assie nodded and replied.

Reina smiled slightly and asked Marco beside him, "How long until the assembly time?"

“The assembly time is tomorrow morning!” Marco replied softly.

"Then let's proceed with the attack as planned, first thing tomorrow morning. I'll go down and confirm the intelligence now!" Reina said after thinking for a moment.

"Go down there by yourself? That's too dangerous!" Marco stepped forward and stopped him.

“Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems. I just want to know… whether the navy here is involved in human trafficking. If so… then tomorrow I will definitely turn this place into ruins, even if it costs me some money. But if there are innocent people among the navy here, then we can’t do that!” Reina nodded and said.

“Then I’ll go with you! We can look out for each other!” Marco said after a moment of thought.

"Reina, take Marco with you. This isn't the time to play the hero!" Dr. Asie said somewhat embarrassedly, believing that it was his words that made Reina make this decision.

“Alright then! But your flames are quite conspicuous in the darkness. Land from another direction, and I'll wait for you below!” Reina nodded in reply.

"Alright!" Marco leaped off the sky island and transformed into his phoenix form mid-air.

Reina, on the other hand, drew Hyōrinmaru and activated his Bankai mode. With wings made of ice, Reina could easily fly off the sky island.

Soon after, he and Marco met up on the coast of the G10 branch.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Reina said softly, looking at the fortress-like naval branch behind him.

"You're not planning to just walk in like this, are you?" Marco asked, taken aback.

“Ah~ what else?” Reina turned his head to look at Marco and replied.

"..." Marco was speechless.

"Wouldn't they find out?"

"So what's your idea?" Reina rolled his eyes and asked.

"Let's find two lone guys and change into their clothes!" Marco said after thinking for a moment.

"Is there any difference between that and going straight in?" Reina pouted, unconvinced.

In his view, since only the navy was present on the island, they must all know each other. To think that one could infiltrate the island simply by changing clothes would be to underestimate the navy.

But after the two of them knocked out two naval soldiers and changed into naval uniforms, Reina realized that his understanding of this world was still too superficial.

"I didn't expect to get through like this!" The two were dressed in naval uniforms and walked openly inside the G10 branch. No one suspected them. In fact, many naval soldiers greeted them, but none of them recognized them.

"Let's go, let's see if there are any captured slaves!" After the two strolled around for a while, Reina said to Marco.

"Weren't you looking for it just now?" Marco asked, surprised.

“No!” Reina replied matter-of-factly.

"Then what are you doing with me? Taking a walk? I thought you were surveying the terrain!" Marco said, his face darkening.

He felt that Reina seemed less reliable than before, and was becoming increasingly capricious in his actions.

"Ah~ ah~ don't worry about it, I've already found the best solution!" Reina said with a slight smile.

"Huh?" Marco was taken aback. Had he misunderstood something?

“Let’s go ask over there!” Reina said with a slight smile, pointing to the naval soldiers standing guard nearby.

"Ask?" Marco was completely confused, not understanding what Reina was planning to do.

However, when it comes to serious matters, Reina never acts recklessly, so he followed Reina to the naval soldiers on guard.

“Hey you! Take me to prison!” Reina stepped forward, took something out of his pocket, and said to one of the soldiers.

The naval soldier was taken aback. After glancing at Reina and Marco, he asked somewhat bewilderedly, "May I ask who the officer is...?"

"Don't ask any more questions! I'm on a secret mission! What I showed you just now was my identification, but don't leak it, or I'll be in big trouble!" Reina said, feigning a deep expression.

"Yes, sir!" the naval soldier replied immediately, saluting.

Then, surprisingly, he turned around and led Reina and Marco directly toward a building.
