Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Who are you? Don't talk nonsense, I don't know you!" Reina rolled his eyes and replied.

The other party was indeed the same old woman as in the original work, and was not the same person as Miss Bakkin on the Rocks Pirates ship in his memory!

"Don't you recognize me? Hahahaha... If you hadn't made Lingling a cake when you boarded the ship, you might have died on board long ago!" Miss Bakkin said with a smile.

Reina was startled and looked at the other party with some surprise. When he boarded the ship, he did exchange a cake for Charlotte Linlin, thus gaining Charlotte Linlin's favor and having time to slowly gather his strength.

"Who exactly are you?" Reina asked, frowning.

“I… am Miss Bakkin! You brat, don’t you even recognize your own mother? You used to follow me around calling me 'Big Sister,' and now you’re pretending not to know me?” Miss Bakkin roared angrily at Reina.

Reina was startled by Miss Bakkin's tone and demeanor; she was indeed very similar to the great beauty Miss Bakkin from back then.

"You really are Miss Bakkin...? Good heavens... what have you been through all these years? How did you become like this?" Reina asked, somewhat amused and exasperated.

Chapter 269 Reina VS Weevil

Upon learning that the other party was indeed a former comrade of the Rocks Pirates, Reina stopped attacking. Putting aside everything else, Reina still had that much camaraderie; as long as the other party didn't provoke him, Reina would generally show some courtesy.

The four (including the humanoid Hyōrinmaru) returned to the tavern. Reina not only settled the bill for the drinks Miss Bakkin owed, but also gave the owner extra as a tip.

"Sister Bakkin, the guy you found, I must say, his beard really does look a bit like an older brother's. You didn't put it on, did you?" Reina said, intending to touch it.

However, Weevil seemed somewhat resistant to having his beard touched, turning his head away to avoid it.

Reina narrowed his eyes, ready to continue, but Miss Bakkin, standing to the side, took a sip of her drink and said with a chuckle, "Alright, Reina, that really is his beard, it's not fake!"

“Then why do you keep saying that you’re the eldest brother’s child? It’s really bothering us! You know… I won’t allow this to continue!” Reina withdrew his hand, raised a glass of rum, and replied.

“What? You don’t believe this child is mine and Newgate’s?” Miss Bakkin turned her head and asked Rainer.

Reina rolled his eyes and looked at Miss Bakkin, saying, "Sister Bakkin, it's a bit boring to say these things in front of me!"

"Hahaha... Alright, my request is simple: let me and my son join the Whitebeard Pirates, and get Newgate to acknowledge that he has the right to inherit the Whitebeard Pirates. In return, I will immediately declare that everything I said before was a lie!" Miss Bakkin said with a loud laugh.

“First of all, whether you can join the Whitebeard Pirates depends on my older brother, he’s the captain! Also, whether this silly kid has the right to inherit the crew depends on my older brother! I can’t promise you any of these! But if you’re confident… I can take you back to see my older brother!” Reina said with a slight smirk.

“No, that won’t do. You can go back and find out first, then come back to me later!” Miss Bakkin shook her head and said.

“Sister Bakkin…” Reina put down his wine glass and said with a light laugh, “I didn’t make a move immediately out of respect for you, because we were somewhat comrades back then, but that doesn’t mean anything! My goal this time is simple: either take him or all of you back with me, or… I’ll kill him on the spot!”

There were no customers left in the tavern at this point. When Reina and Miss Bakkin re-entered, the guests had all fled. So after Reina finished speaking, the room was extremely quiet. The owner, behind the bar, was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, fearing that they would start fighting.

"So you're saying there's no room for discussion? With that... you dare to say you're considering our past camaraderie?" Miss Bakkin squinted at Reina and asked.

Reina shrugged and did not answer.

Actually, he really wanted to say that he was being very accommodating. After all, John was probably already a member of Moonlight Moria's zombie army, yet he pretended not to see him.

“Mother…” Although Weevil was a bit slow-witted, he could tell that Reina and Miss Bakkin’s conversation didn’t seem to be going very well.

But as he reached for his weapon, Reina's longsword was already pressed against his neck.

“You’d better not do anything reckless, or… I might not be able to resist killing you!” Reina said softly.

"Hey... Reina, what do you think you're doing? He's your older brother's child!" Miss Bagin's eyes darted around, and she shouted loudly.

“Since you have made your choice… then I regret to inform you… that you are not leaving today!” Reina’s eyes narrowed, and he thrust the Senbonzakura in his hand directly at Weevil.

At the same time, Hyōrinmaru, who had been standing behind Reina as a guard, also suddenly unleashed a powerful icy aura and rushed towards Weevil.

Despite his seemingly foolish appearance, that guy possesses an incredibly strong fighting instinct. He dodged Reina's attack the moment Reina made his move, rolling to the side and grabbing the naginata beside him!

"Mother, I'm going to kill him!" Weevil's eyes seemed to turn red, and a bloodthirsty and violent emotion surged from him.

“Good boy, be careful. Reina is not so easy to deal with. Don’t be careless!” Miss Bakkin immediately stepped aside and shouted to Weevil.

"Hehe... Not bad! Come out and fight if you dare!" Reina said with a hint of appreciation as he saw the opponent dodge Hyōrinmaru's attacks one after another.

"Hmph, don't run, watch me tear you to shreds!" Seeing Reina leave the tavern, Weevil chased after him, wielding his naginata and unleashing a slash towards Reina.

"Clang!" Reina turned and blocked Weevil's slash, saying, "I told you, we're going outside to fight. This place is too small; we can't fight properly here! This isn't about running away!"

"Hmph! What's the difference between places when you're fighting? Watch me crush you!" With that, Weevil, who had caught up, kicked Reina directly.

"You're asking for it!" Reina had originally been thinking of not damaging the tavern, but since the other party dared to chase after him and attack, Reina wouldn't hold back and turned around to throw a punch.

"Boom!" As their fists and feet clashed, the shockwaves generated by their clash blew all the tables and chairs in the tavern away.

"Huh? You've got some skills!" Reina said with some surprise as he watched Weevil stagger backward.

You have to understand that his hands were wrapped in Conqueror's Haki just now. An ordinary person would definitely be sent flying by that punch, but the other party only staggered back a few steps.

"Ouch! I didn't expect you to be so strong! I'm getting serious now!" Weevil swung his leg, raised his naginata, and charged at Reina again.

"Boom!" A slash flashed, splitting the entire tavern in two, and then it collapsed on the spot.

“Hey…interesting! Hyōrinmaru…” Reina and Hyōrinmaru appeared in an open space not far from the tavern, looking at Weevil rushing out of the ruins, and said softly.

As Reina finished speaking, Hyōrinmaru, who was standing next to him, transformed into a blue light and appeared in Reina's hand.

"Bankai!" As Hyōrinmaru appeared in Reina's hand, he immediately activated Bankai mode, and a huge ice dragon emerged, seemingly darkening the sky.

"Then... let's have some fun... Flock of Birds - Ice Pillars!" Reina swung the Hyōrinmaru in his hand, and countless ice bullets flew towards Weevil.

Weevil immediately began spinning the naginata in his hand, blocking all the ice bullets flying towards him. However, when the ice bullets stopped, his hands and the naginata were already frozen together.

"If this is all the strength you have... then it's really disappointing!" Reina said as he slowly walked over to Weevil, whose hands were frozen and unable to move.

"Whoa~~~~~ Bastard... I'll tear you to shreds!" Weevil roared, shattering the ice on his hands, and then swung his naginata at Reina once more.

"That's more like it!" Hyōrinmaru blocked the opponent's naginata, and Reina actually felt a bit of pressure from above.

"Boom!" The two of them raised their auras again, and the burst of energy blew everything around them away.

"What a monster!" Miss Bakkin exclaimed, hiding in the ruins and watching Reina and Weevil fight. "I never imagined Reina had become so powerful!"

Since Weevil demonstrated his strength, she had never seen anyone fight Weevil to this extent.

Although Whitebeard Pirates captains had come to hunt them down before, Weevil had never lost a one-on-one fight.

Furthermore, the fact that former Admiral Zephyr had also been defeated by Weevil emboldened Miss Bakkin, which is why she dared to make those demands of Reina.

However, when Reina actually made his move, she realized that he had also grown to the level of a monster.

"Is this all the strength you have? If so... then you might as well die!" After exchanging dozens of blows, Reina realized that apart from his innate superhuman strength and instinctive fighting talent, there was no sign of any training on his part.

"Ooh~~~ I'll crush you!" Weevil roared, and the naginata slashed at Reina once again.

“Useless… Sharingan… Activate!” Reina raised his head, his eyes had turned red, and the tomoe in his eyes had transformed into blade-like shapes.

"Boom~~~"

"What about people?"

He blasted a large crater in front of Weevil, but Reina was nowhere to be seen.

"Pfft!"

"Ah~~~~"

Before Weevil could react, Reina suddenly appeared and Hyōrinmaru struck Weevil's left arm.

Seeing Weevil retreating rapidly, Reina did not choose to continue the pursuit.

After being injured, Weevil seemed to become even more ferocious. Moreover, since he was slashed by Hyōrinmaru, the wound was frozen and stopped bleeding.

However, if such a wound is not treated in time, the surrounding flesh will become necrotic if it is frozen for too long, and the damage may be greater than the wound itself.

"Tsk tsk tsk... No wonder he was praised by Kizaru..." Reina frowned as he looked at the wounds he had caused.

His original plan was to sever the opponent's arm, but he didn't expect it to not achieve the result he expected at all. This can only prove that the opponent's defense is stronger than he thought.

"I'm going to kill you!" Seeing Reina standing there motionless, Weevil punched Reina with his right fist.

After injuring his left arm, he could no longer hold the knife with both hands, so using his fists was more convenient.

Reina didn't dodge; instead, he threw a punch just like his opponent.

"Oh!"

The expected energy explosion did not occur. Weevil looked at his opponent with some surprise. He felt that he had not hit his opponent, but their fists were still clashing! This puzzled him greatly, as he was not particularly bright to begin with!

"Damn it, Weevil, get out of the way!" Miss Bakkin, who was standing nearby, naturally knew about Reiner's ability. It was an ability he had possessed back when he was on the Rocks ship, but as time went on, Black King's ability could no longer keep up with his growth rate, so he hadn't used it for a long time.

However, Black Emperor's ability has another way of being triggered, which is passive triggering. So every time Reina fights someone, Black Emperor's ability will be used passively.

Although it wasn't very effective against strong opponents like Whitebeard and Garp, it was still perfectly capable of dealing with Weevil.

He had only wanted to test Weevil's power, but he hadn't expected that the opponent's punch wouldn't even break through the upper limit of his Black Emperor's power.

Hearing Miss Bakkin's reminder, although he was a little confused, Weevil immediately tried to get out of the way. He was such a good boy who listened to his mother.

However, Reina clearly wouldn't let him leave so easily.

"Powerful Strike - Break!"

"Mmm~ Wow..."

Reina punched Weevil in the stomach with his left hand, sending him flying through the air as he crashed into several houses before coming to a stop.

Chapter 270 Scatter, Senbonzakura

"Cough cough cough... How is this possible... so strong!" Weevil, who was slowly struggling to get up, looked at Reina in disbelief. At this moment, not only was blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he also had several wounds on his forehead.

Reina was even more surprised to see that his opponent could still stand up. He knew that the punch he had just delivered was almost the limit of his Black Emperor power storage after absorbing the opponent's impact, plus a special way of gathering power for a single strike.

"You have some terrifying talent... Once you grow up, this world will probably really welcome a powerful figure! But who told you to be so unlucky... that you actually provoked our Whitebeard Pirates! Die!" Reina took a step and quickly approached the other party.

"Weevil! Run!" Miss Bakkin shouted at him, knowing that Weevil was no match for Reina at this moment.

However, Weevil, who had just taken a full-force blow from Reina, was still able to stand up, but he was inevitably a little dizzy and disoriented, and had no way to escape from Reina who was charging at him.

"Die!" A blue slash flashed and struck Weevil's head directly. The wound opened from his left forehead all the way down to his cheek, and blood gushed out. Then the wound was quickly frozen.

"Ah~~~" Weevil, who had fallen to the ground, clutched his head and rolled on the ground in pain. Miss Bakkin, on the other side, felt even colder. She had not expected that Weevil would be defeated by Reina so quickly and so miserably.

“You bastard Reina…you really have no sentimentality at all?” Miss Bakkin, who had been hiding, jumped out and accused Reina.

“I said… today you either come with me, or you all die here!” Reina deactivated Hyōrinmaru’s Bankai state and replied to Miss Bakkin.

"Stop! We'll go with you!" Miss Bakkin said, having no choice but to give in when she saw Reiner stepping forward to kill Weevil.

Upon hearing this, Reina nodded to the other party, indicating that Miss Bakkin could go and treat Weevil's injuries.
