Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Hey, what did you show him just now? Why did he believe it?!" Marco, who was standing next to Reina, couldn't help but ask curiously.

“I showed him a blank sheet of paper, nothing on it, but I was quick, so he probably didn’t see anything!” Reina said with a smug smile.

"What?" Marco looked at Reina in shock and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"

"What's there to be afraid of? If we're exposed, we'll just take care of the two of them, won't we?" Reina said with a matter-of-fact expression.

"And then? Ask two more people?" Marco said with a dark expression.

"Of course!"

"..." Marco was speechless for a moment in the face of Reina's composure.

Soon, the two arrived at the G10 branch prison, led by the naval soldier.

"Alright, that's all for you here. You can go back now!" Upon arriving at the location, Reina first gave a quiet instruction to the navy officer who had led the way. Then, he repeated his previous tactic, showing his identification to the prison guard and indicating that he wanted to go in and look for a criminal.

"This..." The prison guards were clearly hesitant. They had not received any information, so they were unsure of what to do about the sudden appearance of Reina and Marco.

“Don’t worry, Lieutenant General Steger knows why I’m here! But I can’t tell you, it’s for your own good!” Reina said to the guard with a mysterious air.

The two guards looked at each other and then opened the prison gate.

"Sir, do you need us to accompany you?" a guard asked cautiously.

"No need! We won't bring anyone out, we're just going in to find someone!" Reina walked in without looking back, and Marco immediately followed.

"Did you figure anything out?" Reina asked, his face darkening as he went inside.

“It seems there’s something wrong with the navy here…” Marco finally saw through Reina’s intention. He was deliberately speaking to those navy soldiers in this tone. If they didn’t know anything, this situation would not have occurred.

The implication is that now that they have achieved their goal, it can only prove that... the navy here knew that what they were doing was somewhat shady, which is why they did it this way.

“Let’s go! Let’s go in and take a look first, that way we can make a final decision!” Reina took a deep breath and said.

Marco nodded and followed Reina into the prison.

Chapter 256: The Attack Begins

When Reina and Marco saw that the prison not only held many human children but also many fish-men, they knew that their intelligence was correct. This naval branch, which appeared to be protecting the safety of civilians, was actually a cannibalistic hell.

“Let’s go! Tomorrow… we’ll rescue them again!” Reina said to Marco as he walked to the end of the road.

Marco nodded and followed Reina without saying a word.

That night, the two did not alert anyone, including the two marines whose clothes they took. They also staged it as an accidental death before returning to Sky Island.

“Dad…this is indeed a human trafficking base!” Marco said to Whitebeard with a heavy expression as they returned to Skypiea.

“In that case… let’s proceed according to plan tomorrow!” Whitebeard nodded and replied.

“Big brother… this is a simplified map of the G10 branch. The prison is located here. It’s full of human children and women, as well as some fishmen!” Reina drew the location of the prison from memory.

"Other places? Where is their headquarters? Your simplified map is way too perfunctory!" Hansen, who was standing next to Reina, looked at Reina's simplified map and laughed as he complained.

There are only buildings on it, but no markings. It doesn't even show where the other side usually sits. It's drawn rather perfunctorily.

“Because… there’s no need to know about those places!” Reina grinned, revealing his teeth, and replied.

Although he was smiling, Hansen inexplicably sensed a murderous aura that sent a chill down his spine.

"Those guys...did they go too far?" Hansen turned his head and asked Marco, who was standing next to him.

Marco nodded, and said with some reluctance, "There are only children inside..."

He himself was an orphan, so he was particularly sensitive to such things.

"Looks like tomorrow... will be a rainy day!" Hansen sighed upon seeing this.

The next morning, contrary to Hansen's expectations, the sun rose early on the horizon, signifying the arrival of a new day.

"Then... Brother, please give the order!" On the sky island, everyone was ready to go, only waiting for Whitebeard's command.

"Gurararara... My little ones, let's have a big fight!" Whitebeard shouted, brandishing his naginata.

"Whoa~~~" Everyone raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

Dr. Assie had been preparing in the control room for a long time, waiting for Whitebeard's orders.

"Foolish father, Dad has given the order to attack!" The door to the control room was pushed open, and Olga, in her combat suit, entered and shouted to Dr. Asie.

"Understood!" Dr. Assie nodded and began to control the descent of the sky island.

Olga, like Robin, has grown into a young woman. Although Reina thinks she is still weak, she is actually more than capable of dealing with ordinary marines and even officers. So, after consulting with Dr. Assie, he did not rule out Olga for this battle, but instead gifted her a combat suit.

This made Olga very excited, and she even looked forward to the start of the battle.

Although Whitebeard never allowed the women on his ship to appear on the battlefield, he was unaware that Olga was going. This battle involved not only the Whitebeard Pirates but also nearly thirty other pirate crews under his command, with a total of over two thousand people. Therefore, Reina was handling the details of the battle, and he only needed to focus on the fighting.

"Whoosh~~~ Boom!"

"What's going on? Where did that shelling come from?"

As the sky island descended, it fired a shell at the G10 division, and this shell, like a signal, ignited a war worthy of being recorded in history.

"Look, in the sky... it's a sky island! It's the Whitebeard Pirates' sky island!"

"Damn it, the Whitebeard Pirates are after us! Quick, contact headquarters and request reinforcements!"

As the sky island descended from the sky, it was immediately spotted by the Navy on the ground. The enormous Whitebeard Pirates flag was instantly visible to the Navy through their binoculars.

But before they could react, the soldiers in the surrounding bunkers and defensive towers were horrified to discover that they had been surrounded by countless pirate ships.

"It's...it's...it's the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"They...they came from the seabed!"

Seeing that the coating on some pirate ships had not completely disappeared, the Navy immediately understood how the enemy had appeared without anyone noticing.

"Vice Admiral Steger! What do we do? It's the Whitebeard Pirates! There are pirate ships everywhere outside! And their sky islands in the sky too. What do we do now? Should we launch a counterattack?" Rear Admiral Abbott, the adjutant of the G10 branch base, asked anxiously.

"At this point, do you think there's any other way besides resisting with all our might?" Steger looked at the countless pirate ships outside with a grim expression and said in a deep voice.

"Boom boom boom~~~"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of countless exploding cannonballs rang out. It turned out that in addition to the sky island, the pirate ships that had been approaching the island had also begun their attack.

"Counterattack...All cannons, fire immediately!" Although the navy was caught off guard, they reacted quickly and launched a counterattack against the pirates.

However, Reina had anticipated this situation and had dispersed the captains during the assignment process. This allowed the captains to protect the ordinary members and prevent them from suffering unnecessary casualties from the navy's artillery fire.

Sure enough, the navy's cannons had barely been fired when the scattered captains intercepted them.

With the help of the captains and the sudden attack by the pirates, pirate ships soon began to dock at the shore.

"Shining Impact!" Jozu, who landed first, didn't head towards the gate but charged directly at the naval base's walls. His entire body was diamond-like, and he smashed a large hole in the walls of the naval base.

"Quick! Follow Captain Jozu and charge in!" All the pirates in Jozu's direction followed behind him, charging towards the Marine base.

On the other side, Vista's twin swords transformed into flower petals, and two slender slashes struck the city wall, causing a section of it to collapse.

In other areas, the captains also used their own methods to attack the G10 branch.

"Damn it, Abbott, you take your men out and hold them off immediately! We must hold out until reinforcements from headquarters arrive!" Lieutenant General Steger said to Major General Abbott beside him.

"Hoo~ The pirates' offensive is too fierce! Vice Admiral Steger... I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on!" Rear Admiral Abbott said with fear on his face.

He had no desire to go to the battlefield at this time. His years of lording it over the G10 had long since extinguished his passion and enthusiasm.

Chapter 257 Breaking Through the G10 Branch

"Get Kizaru to the G10 branch immediately!" Sengoku shouted, holding a Den Den Mushi, looking somewhat frantic.

"Yes, Marshal! Vice Admiral Kizaru and Vice Admiral Aokiji have already departed!" came the soldier's reply from the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku plopped down on a bench. He was somewhat puzzled as to why the Whitebeard Pirates would choose to launch a surprise attack on the G10 branch.

In terms of importance, the G5 branch is obviously more important. The G10 branch is located on the periphery, and there are not many small islands around it. If it weren't for the fact that the Navy's power in the New World was suppressed by pirates, they wouldn't really pay much attention to the G10 branch.

So Sengoku never imagined that the Whitebeard Pirates would attack the G10 branch, because the feeling was like two people trying every possible way and using all their strength, only to find out that the other person just came to your house to steal a roll of toilet paper.

While you might feel relieved, you might also have a feeling of "I have countless gold and jewels in my house, and you only stole a roll of paper?"

Upon receiving the message from the G10 branch requesting assistance, Sengoku immediately dispatched reinforcements. However, he knew in his heart that with the Whitebeard Pirates making such a large-scale operation, the G10 branch was likely doomed.

However, he still did his best to rescue them, and even considered a counterattack.

"Notify Sakazuki and have him confirm whether Whitebeard is on the Moby Dick. If not... sink it!" Sengoku picked up the Den Den Mushi again and gave the order.

Sakazuki, far away in the waters of the world, received Sengoku's order and immediately ordered his warships to head towards the Moby Dick. However, as they were about to arrive, they saw that the Moby Dick was beginning to sink.

"Vice Admiral Sakazuki, the enemy ship has completed its coating and is attempting to escape from the seabed!" the lookout shouted to Sakazuki, lowering his binoculars.

"Hoo~~ Trying to escape? Artillerymen, attack!" Sakazuki exhaled a smoke ring and said directly.

Seeing his opponent escape, Sakazuki was quite certain that Whitebeard wasn't there, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to escape in this way.

Following Sakazuki's orders, the naval warships began shelling the Moby Dick, which was diving. However, the Moby Dick was prepared, so the naval bombardment mostly missed.

"Looks like Dad has already made his move!" Blenheim removed his disguise and transformed into his true form, watching the approaching navy without showing any concern.

"Captain, should we return to Xuan Yue Island as planned, or... go over there?" a member of the Ninth Division asked with a hint of anticipation.

"Stop overthinking! By the time we get there, it'll be over already! So let's just head back to Xuan Yue Island! Men... say goodbye to the Navy, we're off!" Blenheim laughed as he stood up and said.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Ninth Division burst into laughter, ran to the side closest to the naval warship, and shouted, "Thank you for seeing us off, everyone... we'll take our leave!"

After the members of the Ninth Division finished shouting, a powerful gust of air shot out from the stern of the Moby Dick, causing it to sink rapidly and leave.

Watching the Moby Dick disappear rapidly, Sakazuki punched the warship's railing, angrily ordering it to return to port and head towards the G10 division.

Although he knew that by the time he arrived at the G10 branch, the war would probably be over, as a vice admiral, he had no other choice but to do so.

Meanwhile, at the G10 branch, the Whitebeard Pirates had breached the outer walls of the base and were launching a full-scale attack on the interior.

Although Rear Admiral Abbott was extremely unwilling, there was no way out now. The pirates had given them no hope of escape and had completely blockaded the entire sea area, so he could only lead the marines in a desperate resistance with Vice Admiral Steger.

Just then, on the sky island, a phoenix engulfed in blue flames charged directly towards Lieutenant General Steger.

"Oh!"

"Phoenix... Marco!" Lieutenant General Steger blocked Marco's kick, his heart sinking slightly.

Now that Marco, the first division commander, has appeared, will Whitebeard also appear? If Whitebeard doesn't come here, he still has a chance to escape; otherwise... he will surely die.
