Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Chapter 266 The Petty-Minded Reina

Sure enough, when they returned home, they found Nami hiding in a corner crying, and Bellemere learned the whole story from Nami.

Little Nami made a deal with Arlong: she would buy back Cocoyasi Village from him for 100 million Berries, because she didn't want to see anyone die again!

Bellemere and Nojiko, who were standing nearby, were shocked by Nami's words. They did not believe that Nami could earn 100 million Berries.

“But… didn’t Bellemere say that being able to live is a happy thing? I hope everyone can be happy!” Nami looked at Bellemere with feigned ease and said firmly.

"What an idiot! But... I'll support you!" Bellemere patted Nami's head and said with a smile.

"Bellmere... Waaaaah..." Little Nami finally couldn't hold back anymore and threw herself into Bellmere's arms, bursting into tears.

Nojiko, standing to the side, silently shed tears. After a while, she quietly left and brought in a small box from outside, saying, "Nami, this is the gold that Reina left me. I gave one piece to Arlong, and the rest is for you! I don't know how much this is worth, but it should make things easier for you!"

"I don't want it! This is what Reina left for you! I'll earn that 100 million Berries myself!" Nami refused Nojigo's gold and shook her head.

"Nochigo, put the gold away. Don't take it out unless it's absolutely necessary!" Bellemere also shook her head in opposition.

"Why?" Nojiko looked at Bellemere in confusion and asked, "It's just some gold!"

“This gold must be something special. The name Reina is engraved on it, proving you have some connection with him!” Bellemere shook her head, took a deep breath, and said, “The reason Arlong and the others let us go so easily before must also be related to this gold! Reina’s identity… will make these pirates wary of you!”

"Reina's identity?" Nami and Nojiko exchanged glances and asked simultaneously, "Who exactly is Reina? Why are those pirates wary of him?"

"Phew~ I didn't want to tell you, after all, you two have both benefited from his care! But at this point, telling you might be your trump card to save your lives! Reina, full name Benedict D. Reina, that's the name printed on the gold!"

As he himself said, he was also a pirate, but not an ordinary pirate. He was the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, known as the world's number one pirate crew, nicknamed Akame, and a great pirate with a bounty of 1.5 billion Berries! Bellemere took a deep breath and said directly.

"1.5 billion Berries?" Nami and Noji didn't understand anything else, but the bounty of 1.5 billion Berries was indeed a shock to them.

Reina's bounty increased from 1.3 billion Berries to 1.5 billion Berries after the attack on the G10 division. Along with the bounty, his name was also changed. His full name was not published on the previous bounty poster, but it was added after the bounty was changed.

“That’s right. So before they’re sure about the relationship between Nojiko and Reina, they probably won’t dare to do anything too outrageous to Nojiko, because they’re also afraid of Reina’s retaliation! Someone of his stature could probably wipe out the Arlong Pirates with just a word!” Bellemere nodded and said.

"Then why don't we tell Arlong and the others that Nami's navigation skills were taught by Reina? If Nami becomes Reina's apprentice, will Arlong and the others stop doing anything to her?" Nojiko asked expectantly.

“You underestimate pirates!” Bellemere shook her head and said, “If Reina himself were here, they probably wouldn’t even have the courage to step into Cocoyasi Village. But Reina isn’t here, and he wouldn’t know what’s happening here. So just relying on a name to scare them isn’t enough!”

"So what do we do now?" Nojiko asked, somewhat disappointed.

"What we need to do now is save ourselves. Reina can only be used as a last resort to save our lives. I believe that those pirates will not risk offending Reina for the sake of ordinary people like us!" Bellemere was quite calm. She knew what those gold meant, which was why she told Nojiko not to use them casually.

"Yes! We understand!" Nami and Nojiko exchanged a glance, nodded, and replied.

Meanwhile, in a certain sea area of ​​the New World, the Moby Dick was sailing normally.

“Brother…” Reina approached Whitebeard, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “I want to go to Marineford!”

"Huh? What are you going to Marineford for?" Whitebeard asked, surprised.

“Find Magellan!” Reina replied succinctly.

Back then, after the Whitebeard Pirates attacked Impel Down, the Navy transferred Magellan away from Impel Down. According to Garp's words at the time, it seemed that Magellan was given a position at Marine Headquarters, which is why Reina wanted to go to Marineford.

"Do you think you can kill that guy in Marineford?" Whitebeard asked, turning his head to the side.

“No!” Reina shook his head and said, “I’m just going to confirm his location!”

"I don't believe you can resist the urge to attack him once you see him!" the white-bearded man chuckled.

"..." Reina was silent for a moment. He might indeed be unable to resist, because if the opportunity was good, he might just take action directly.

“If you just want to pinpoint his location, why not just ask around? Why go there yourself? In the end, you still want to kill him with your own hands, don’t you?” Whitebeard continued when he saw that Reiner remained silent. “Therefore… I will not agree to this!”

"But……"

"No buts! Alright, you don't need to think about this anymore. If you really want to know his location, you don't need to go there yourself. You can find out yourself, right? If you're really bored, take your people and go for a walk. Don't just sit around thinking about this all day long!" Reina was about to say something when Whitebeard ruthlessly waved his hand to interrupt him.

Left with no other option, Reina had to turn and leave.

After he left, Genia, who had been standing next to Whitebeard, asked with a smile, "Dad, what's wrong with the first mate?"

"Him? He's..." Whitebeard paused, seemingly remembering something, and after a moment of thought, said, "Go and fetch Marco for me!"

Marco soon came over, his eyes drooping and yawning.

"Dad, what do you want?"

"Go to Alabasta and bring Robin back to stay for a while!" Whitebeard said directly to Marco.

"Huh? Robin? Why? Does Reina know?" Marco was taken aback and almost asked.

"What? You don't want to go? If you don't want to go, I'll find someone else!" The white-bearded man glared at him and said impatiently.

"Okay, I'll leave right away... But how am I supposed to tell Robin? She seems to be working for Crocodile right now. I need a reason to suddenly go see her!" Marco replied, shrinking back.

"Just say I miss her, okay? Seriously..." The white-bearded man rolled his eyes and replied unhappily.

Seeing this, Marco knew he wouldn't get any more information, so he stopped asking and turned to prepare for departure.

A little while later, just as Marco was getting ready to set sail, he was spotted by Reina.

"Huh? Marco, Harta, where are you going?" Reina asked curiously.

"This..." Marco was momentarily at a loss for words. From Whitebeard's tone, he could tell that Whitebeard definitely didn't want Reina to know about this.

"Nothing much, just going out for a stroll... I've been so bored lately!" Marco said, feigning nonchalance.

Harta, standing to the side, was somewhat curious. In fact, he didn't know what Marco was going to do; he just happened to run into him, so Marco dragged him along to do it together.

"Oh...? So what you did is related to me? Did your older brother tell you to do it?" Reina could tell Marco was lying just by looking at him, so he made a casual guess.

He had just spoken with Whitebeard, so Marco was likely instructed by Whitebeard to do something at this time.

"Ah~ Hahaha... I don't know either? Alright, we're off now, goodbye!" Seeing Reina's smiling face, Marco chose to escape, ordering the crew to set sail immediately and fleeing like the wind.

"Heh... brat, you actually dared to play tricks on me... it seems you've forgotten the terror of being ruled by darkness!" Reina said with a sinister smile as he watched Marco flee.

He had already made his plans. When Marco returned, he would teach him a lesson and also educate all the captains on the ship, telling them that everything was caused by Marco.

It will probably be quite lively on the ship then.

Once he was far away from the Moby Dick, Marco secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he knew all too well how petty Reina was.

“That guy will definitely not let me off the hook once I get back!” Marco sighed and whispered to Harta beside him.

But this was a task given to him by his father, and he couldn't refuse. So Marco decided that after bringing Robin back, he would find an excuse to go out and have some fun for a while, and then go back after Reina had forgotten about it.

Little did he know, Reina had the same plan: once he returned, he would use the excuse of helping the captains improve their strength to give them a good beating.

"Then why didn't you tell him where you were going? You know how petty he is!" Harta rolled her eyes and said.

Marco glanced at Harta beside him and recounted what Whitebeard had asked him to do.

"You tell me... is it too late for me to ask to disembark now?" Harta rolled his eyes and said with a slightly innocent look.

"Hahaha... What do you think? Don't worry, when we get back, Reina will definitely think you're with us!" Marco replied happily.

So when one person is unlucky, it's really bad luck; when two people are unlucky, it's like they're laughing at each other.

With Harta around, Marco felt that things weren't so tragic after all, while Harta thought to himself that he was at most an accomplice, and that Marco and his father were the main culprits!

If Reina doesn't cause trouble for Whitebeard, then Marco will definitely be the first to suffer. As long as he admits his mistakes well and acts cowardly, Reina will definitely not do anything to him.

Chapter 267 Four Years Later

“Nicole Robin, our old man sent me to take you there!” Marco called out to Robin, who was standing not far away, at the port of Alabasta.

"Marco... that's enough! Nico Robin is one of my women!" Crocodile, who was smoking a cigar, roared angrily.

The Whitebeard Pirates' repeated visits had already annoyed him.

"Who is this guy? He's so awesome!" Harta, standing next to Marco, looked at Crocodile in surprise and asked.

"He's that so-called King of the Desert, Crocodile!" Marco introduced helplessly.

"Ah~~ Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? The one who challenged my father many years ago?" Harta asked after thinking carefully.

Marco nodded in confirmation.

Crocodile, however, was even more furious. The two men's conversation completely ignored him, giving him an urge to kill them both immediately.

"Marco... I'll say it one last time, this... is my territory. Even if you're from the Whitebeard Pirates, you can't mess around here! And I don't care what your relationship is with Nico Robin, she's mine now and she won't go with you!" Crocodile suppressed his anger and said to Marco.

He still has some sense and knows that the Whitebeard Pirates are not to be trifled with, but if they really annoy him, he wouldn't mind taking down two of the division commanders right here!

He is now one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, backed by the World Government. Plus, this isn't the New World, so while he has some reservations about Whitebeard, he's definitely not afraid of him.

"What should we do? Should we take action?" Harta, who was here for the first time, was a little unsure how to handle this situation and turned to Marco to ask.

"What else can we do? If we can't bring Nico Robin back, do you think Dad will let us off the hook?" Marco shrugged and replied.

"I mean... you didn't bring me here just for this reason, did you?" Harta asked after thinking for a moment.

"Of course not! Besides being a henchman, I'll need you to hold off Reina when we get back!" Marco said with a light laugh.

"Damn it... I knew I couldn't trust you, you pineapple bird!" Halta said with a hint of pain.

"Pineapple Bird" is a nickname Reina gave Marco because his head and hairstyle resemble a pineapple. In addition, he can transform into a phoenix after his transformation, so gradually his crewmates on the ship would sometimes call him that, for example... now.

Just as Marco and Crocodile were about to make their move, Robin suddenly stepped forward and said to Crocodile, "Boss, wait a minute. They probably came to me because they need me to decipher ancient script. Isn't your goal also to find something in ancient script? If I help them decipher it, I'll know even more!"

Crocodile was taken aback. He hadn't expected Robin to say that. At that moment, he understood why the Whitebeard Pirates had always cared so much about Robin. It turned out that she had the same idea as him, except that what Whitebeard was looking for might not be Pluton, but something else entirely.

"Guhahaha... So you want to go with them?" Crocodile looked at Robin and asked softly.

"No, I just want to know more about historical texts. That was also a promise I made with the Whitebeard Pirates!" Robin said calmly.

“Alright! I’ll be here waiting for you to come back. You’d better not disappoint me!” Crocodile said with a light laugh.

He also wanted to know what Whitebeard had found. Robin's suggestion was very appealing to him, but he was also afraid that Robin would not come back after leaving.

Then he thought again that if Robin wanted to escape, she would have left long ago and wouldn't have had to wait until now, so he agreed to Robin's suggestion.

Since they could take Robin away without fighting, Marco and the others had no objections, so the group took Robin and returned directly to the New World.

"Captain Marco, is there something the Godfather wants me to do so urgently?" Robin asked Marco directly after boarding the ship.

Marco was a little embarrassed. Could he really say that Whitebeard missed her? If he were to say such a thing, he would never have peace of mind again.

But Marco, unable to find a good reason, had a sudden inspiration and told Robin that his father missed her, but Reina didn't have time to come and pick her up in person recently, so he asked Marco to come and take her back.

Robin smiled slightly and did not expose his lie. She often corresponded with Reiner, so she knew that this was not the real reason. If Reiner really missed her, he would have come over long ago.

It's worth noting that since she arrived in Alabasta, Reina has been secretly visiting her every so often.
