Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Kizaru then raised his hand and fired a laser beam directly at Jozu.

"when!"

"It's no use, I'm a diamond!" The light shone on Jozu, but was deflected in another direction.

"Is that so? I find that hard to believe!" A glint flashed in Kizaru's eyes, and he fired another laser at Jozu.

"Pfft... Sizzle~~"

"Ah~~!"

This time, Kizaru's laser pierced through Jozu's defenses, creating a hole in his body. Strangely, no blood flowed out, and wisps of burnt black smoke rose from the hole.

It turns out that Kizaru's laser, besides being a beam of light, also contains extremely high temperatures. Just now, his laser had switched to a high-temperature mode, directly piercing through Jozu's defenses.

"Jozu!" Marco landed beside Jozu, helped him up, and asked, "Are you alright?"

"It's alright, I won't die! This guy is really tough to deal with!" Jozu gritted his teeth and stared at Kizaru.

Just then, an explosion was heard, and a large amount of icy energy spread out, quickly covering the surrounding area with a layer of ice.

"Holy crap! Not again?" Marco was taken aback, then picked up Jozu and flew straight into the sky.

There, Aokiji, emanating a chilling aura, was confronting Reina, who had transformed into a giant ice dragon with four enormous ice flowers floating behind him.

The chilling aura released by the two froze the entire island, freezing many naval soldiers and pirates. Only those who reacted in time escaped.

“You should know about what’s happening on this island!” Reina asked softly, looking at Aokiji, who was radiating a chilling aura.

Aokiji just stared at Reina without answering.

Is this your idea of ​​justice?

"The Navy's reputation cannot be ruined here. Now that you have achieved your goal, why not leave? This world... needs the Navy!" Aokiji replied coldly.

"Hmph! That's not up to you to decide!" After saying that, Reina disappeared from his spot and reappeared behind Aokiji, slashing Hyōrinmaru directly at Aokiji's neck.

“If you keep fighting, you have no chance of winning... Our reinforcements will only increase!” Aokiji dodged Reina’s slash and thrust his ice blade at Reina.

"Is that so? Then let's see if we take care of you first, or if your reinforcements arrive first!" Reina replied with a smile.

It's important to know that not all of Whitebeard's pirate crews came here; their purpose was to intercept the Navy's reinforcements along the way.

Aokiji and Kizaru alone are not enough to turn the tide of the battle, because Whitebeard has not yet made a move.

Faced with Reiner's unwavering stance, Aokiji was somewhat helpless. He knew that if Whitebeard didn't give orders or make them feel threatened, these pirates would not retreat easily.

Although Kizaru and Dalmesia injured members of the Whitebeard Pirates, they also attracted Whitebeard's attention. Now Whitebeard has approached Kizaru, and with Marco assisting him, if Aokiji doesn't rush to his aid, Kizaru might be in serious trouble.

"Get out of the way! The old man is about to make his move!" Seeing the energy circle on the naginata in Whitebeard's hand, the pirates who were in the same direction as Kizaru fled.

"Gurararara... What does Reina call you? Yellow-skinned monkey? Very fitting!" Whitebeard slashed at Kizaru with his sword. The huge slash, accompanied by the sound of space shattering, arrived directly next to Kizaru.

However, Kizaru was naturally skilled in speed, so he easily dodged Whitebeard's slash, but the massive slash destroyed countless buildings.

“If we keep fighting… this island is doomed!” Kizaru said to Whitebeard with a grim expression.

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted? You'll erase all the evidence and then you can say whatever you want! Isn't this your usual style?" Marco, who had somehow appeared next to Kizaru, kicked him as he spoke softly.

"Bang!" Kizaru raised his hand to block Marco's attack, but the powerful impact pushed him toward Whitebeard.

Whitebeard's naginata seemed to have been prepared all along, and he slashed directly at Kizaru again.

"Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi!" Kizaru clasped his hands together, and when he opened them again, an energy sword appeared in his hands, directly blocking Whitebeard's naginata.

Although he managed to block Whitebeard's attack, the ground beneath Kizaru's feet was cracking inch by inch under the suppression of Whitebeard's immense power and energy.

"Where are you looking?" On the other side, Reina said softly as the Hyōrinmaru in his hand pierced Aokiji's shoulder.

"Bang!" Although Aokiji retaliated immediately, kicking Reina away, the blood from Hyōrinmaru still injured the Logia-type Devil Fruit user.

He was distracted by the fight between Kizaru and Whitebeard, which allowed Reina to exploit his weakness and hit him.

So, immediately after kicking Reina away, Aokiji attacked Whitebeard's direction, wanting to rescue Kizaru.

However, Whitebeard didn't even glance at him, because Reyna had already quickly caught up and stopped Aokiji.

"What are you thinking? You want to attack my captain without defeating me? Are you crazy?" Hyōrinmaru slashed at Aokiji, who blocked with his ice blade.

Although the ice extending from the Hyōrinmaru sword froze Aokiji, Reina knew that it couldn't do any harm to him at all.

There's nothing we can do about it; Aokiji himself is made of ice.

Sure enough, much of the ice that enveloped Aokiji was like water; it directly merged into Aokiji's body and then disappeared.

Although he failed to harm Aokiji, he successfully stopped him.

"This is really a headache, it's an ability that overlaps with yours!" Reina said somewhat dejectedly as he watched Aokiji easily neutralize Hyōrinmaru's biggest weakness.

“This isn’t your ability… isn’t it?” Aokiji smiled slightly and replied.

Having dealt with Reyner for so long, the Navy already knew that Reyner's ability to create ice came from the weapon in his hand.

"You're not trying to steal my weapon, are you? Here... if you like it... I can give it to you!" Reina smiled and handed the Hyōrinmaru to Aokiji.

However, Aokiji wasn't foolish enough to trust Reina. The weapon seemed to have some connection with Reina, and Reina could make Hyōrinmaru appear in his hands at any time if he wanted to.

They were unaware that this was the power of the system. Including the Demon Blade Village that Reina had given away, Reina could return these special weapons to his dimensional storage at any time and then easily take them out of the storage.

However, this ability is limited to weapons with special attributes; it doesn't work on other things. This is why Reina's weapons are never lost after his defeats or when he falls unconscious.

"Boom~~~" Without Aokiji's help, Kizaru ultimately relied on his own abilities to escape from Whitebeard at the last minute.

Looking at the huge crater created by Whitebeard's attack, Kizaru felt that today was absolutely terrible.

Having already been injured, it's clearly impossible for him to fight Whitebeard and Marco alone here.

However, apart from Aokiji's side, the other Marine commanders were suppressed by the Whitebeard Pirates' captains. It was already a great effort on their part that they didn't need his rescue. As for wanting to come and help him, it was simply wishful thinking.

After all, the number of captains far exceeded that of naval admirals.

Although the arrival of naval warships has made their numerical advantage less obvious, if things continue, he and Aokiji can still hold on, but the other naval commanders will probably not be able to hold on.

"What do we do now?" Kizaru flashed to Aokiji's side and asked.

The reunion of the two caused Reina to stop his attack, as he did not believe he was capable of dealing with both Aokiji and Kizaru.

"How long until Sakazuki and the reinforcements from headquarters arrive?" Aokiji turned his head and asked.

“They probably won’t last that long!” Kizaru didn’t answer directly, but pointed to the other wounded generals and said.

Because of their reunion, the other naval commanders also broke away from the battle and came to their side. All the commanders, including Doberman and Dalmesia, were wounded.

On the other side, the captains also came to Whitebeard's side. They were only slightly stronger than the Marines, and most of them had some injuries.

"Dad! Should we continue?" Vista came to Whitebeard's side and asked in a low voice.

He's in relatively good condition, unlike Joz and Satch, who are both injured.

"Those slaves have already reached the sky island and can be moved away at any time. In addition, those marines are not only attacking us, but even those marines from the original G10 division are within their attack range!" Marco, who had already noticed the situation on the battlefield, came to Whitebeard's side and reported.

"It seems the Navy and the World Government really intend to eliminate those scoundrels!" Reina, having deactivated Hyōrinmaru's Bankai state, slowly walked over and said.

Chapter 261 Reactions from All Parties

"How about... we leave them a gift before we retreat? If we stay here and entangle with the Navy for too long, the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates won't let such a good opportunity pass us by!" Reina noticed the shift in everyone's demeanor and said to Whitebeard.

"What do you want to do?" the white-bearded man asked, turning his head to the side.

“Let’s sink it to the bottom of the sea!” Reina replied with a slight smile.

"Gurararara...that's no simple matter!" the white-bearded man said with a loud laugh.

"Hehe... It's alright. If Aokiji and Kizaru try to stop us... we'll just launch a surprise attack!" Reina said with a sly laugh.

Their conversation was not kept secret, so both Kizaru and Aokiji heard Reina's words.

Upon hearing their conversation, all the navy personnel became enraged.

"You want to destroy the naval base? You will not succeed until we fall!" Doberman was the first to step forward and roared at Reiner.

"Even if this naval base is actually a devil's base? Is this your justice?" Reina chuckled and said.

His words shook some of the navy personnel. On their way here, they had also watched the live broadcast and learned what kind of crimes their comrades here had committed.

"Even if they did something wrong, they should be judged by justice, not by you pirates! You don't deserve that!" Aokiji suddenly spoke up.

“No, you’re wrong! I am a member of this world, and a member of humanity. No matter who I am, I have the right and the right to make my own voice heard… Moreover, besides all that, we also possess power!” Reina shook his head and said with a slightly domineering air.

Upon hearing Reina's words, the pirates cheered loudly.

"Your navy is so arrogant, thinking you represent justice. Little do you know, you represent nothing but yourselves!" Reina chuckled and continued, "If we wanted to wipe you all out here today, we might have to pay a price, but don't think we couldn't do it!"

Neither Kizaru nor Aokiji made a sound. If they wanted to escape, there would be no problem. However, if Whitebeard and Reina joined forces to deal with just one person, it was hard to say what the outcome would be.

Moreover, once they escape, the navy they brought with them will inevitably be wiped out here.

"Speak! What exactly do you want?" Kizaru asked after a moment of silence.

When Reina heard Kizaru's words, he smiled slightly and nodded to Whitebeard. They knew that this was already considered the Navy giving in.

"Gurararara... Tell Sengoku and the World Government to stop with their useless tricks. Seven mere pirates? You think they can hold me back? Don't be delusional! Men... let's go!" With that, Whitebeard led all the pirates away, laughing loudly.

Reina and the captains stayed behind to cover the rear.

After the pirates returned to Skypiea and their ships, Reina and the captains slowly returned to Skypiea.

However, the Sky Island did not take off immediately, but waited until the pirate ships had all left before slowly taking off.

"Aokiji... I'll surprise you next time! Go back and tell Magellan... it won't be long before I go after him for revenge! Hahaha..." Reina's arrogant laughter echoed from the sky island.

In a fit of rage, Doberman punched a large rock next to him, shattering it to pieces. This was the most frustrating moment he had ever experienced since becoming a Marine.

However, he couldn't say that it was Kizaru and Aokiji's fault. They were indeed at a disadvantage in their battle against the Whitebeard Pirates, so Aokiji and Kizaru's choice was to protect them.

But this kind of failure was hard for him to accept.

"Let's finish the mission we haven't completed!" Kizaru said before turning and leaving.

Although he usually appears lazy, he has always been among the top tier since joining the Navy. He has never experienced such a shock before, nor has he ever been beaten so badly by anyone. Therefore, Kizaru is in an exceptionally bad mood at this moment.

Aokiji shrugged, dusted himself off, and turned to leave, leaving Doberman with no choice but to take over the matter. They also had other tasks, the first being to figure out how to deal with what had been broadcast live.

The Whitebeard Pirates' attack on the Marine G10 branch unexpectedly exposed the fact that the Marine branch was secretly engaged in human trafficking, which instantly spread throughout the world. Although the general public did not know the final outcome, the major powers already knew that the Whitebeard Pirates had won and successfully escaped unscathed.

Far away at the G1 branch, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who had been gathered together, naturally received the message that they were to be disbanded.
