Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Captain!" Upon seeing this, the entire Blackbeard Pirates rushed towards Reina.

"Ice Heaven Hundred Flowers Burial!" Reina raised the Hyōrinmaru in his hand, and countless snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

"Watch out, everyone! Fire Fist - Great Fire Pillar!" Gamenio immediately switched to Ace's fire-type ability, instantly melting Reina's snowflakes.

“You guys actually didn’t die! At first I was wondering… how you managed to escape, but now it seems… Hansen must have let you go, right?” After seeing Gamenho, Reina understood how the other had escaped.

It must have been while he was chasing the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit user that Hansen had the Shape-Change Fruit user transform into someone else to escape.

"So what? Things are different now, so... today you're the one who will fail!" After using Ace's flames to eliminate most of Reina's ice and snow, Gamenio's confidence soared.

"What a bunch of stubborn fools! Aren't you two going to make a move? Once my reinforcements arrive, getting information... won't be so easy!" Reina chuckled, speaking to Katakuri and Doflamingo who were standing there without making a move.

The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously rushed towards Zishas Bazars, choosing to rescue Ace without prior agreement.

"Want to save someone... did you ask me? Dark Water!" Blackbeard Teach got up from the ground and saw Doflamingo and Katakuri trying to rescue Ace. He immediately used Dark Water to pull the two of them to his left and right.

"Hmm? What kind of ability is this?" Doflamingo was slightly taken aback when he saw himself being sucked in by Blackbeard. He then tried to use his ability to escape, but found that he couldn't escape at all.

Katakuri, on the other side, remained expressionless, a flash of red light in his eyes, and then threw a punch at Teach.

"boom!"

Katakuri's fist struck Teach directly, forcing Teach to release his gravity on him. However, Doflamingo, who was standing nearby, was not so lucky and was grabbed by the neck by Teach.

"How is this possible?" After being captured by Teach, Doflamingo immediately realized that he was unable to use his powers.

"Thief, hahaha... Impossible? There are too many impossible things!" Teach roared with laughter, his face covered in blood, making him appear exceptionally insane.

"Oh!"

"Ugh~~"

Teach slammed Doflamingo to the ground, and Doflamingo immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Hehehe...hehehe...meddling in other people's business...you should at least see if you have the ability!" Teach said, and directly pressed Doflamingo to the ground and rubbed him.

Having lost his Devil Fruit powers and suddenly suffering a heavy blow, Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was momentarily rendered powerless to fight back.

"Is this what they call the Dark-Dark Fruit's power?" Katakuri, who had escaped death, began to take Teach seriously.

"Oh!"

"Boom~~~" Just as Teach was feeling smug, a figure flew past him and crashed into the ruins next to him.

"With this little skill... you dare to boast in front of me!?"

Teach looked over and saw Reina with wings on his back, a tail made of ice swaying in the air, the Hyōrinmaru in his hand still emitting an icy aura, and his eyes strangely turned one ice blue and the other blood red.

His companions, on the other hand, were all lying on the ground.

"You're no match for him, don't make a move. Take Fire Fist Ace and get out of here!" Teach tossed Doflamingo aside and looked at Reina, speaking to his companions.

"Go? Where to?" Reina took a step and headed straight for Teach.

Seeing this, Katakuri headed toward Ace, who was lying on the ground, but just as he was about to reach Ace, he suddenly punched empty air.

"Clang!!"

Arms covered in Armament Haki blocked a pair of rapiers.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm planning to save him!" Katakuri said softly to the newcomer.

"Our companions don't need your rescue yet!" It turned out to be Vista, who had just arrived.

He saw Katakuri attacking Ace, so he came over to stop him.

When Katakuri heard Vista say this, he stopped making a move to avoid any misunderstanding.

"Pfft!"

Over there, Reina, who was attacking Teach, slowly shed tears of blood from his right eye, but the Hyōrinmaru in his hand had already been plunged into Teach's body.

“How…is this possible…” Blood flowed from the corner of Teach’s mouth.

"In your own words... there aren't that many impossibilities in this world." He had just used the pupil technique in his right eye to pause Teach for three seconds, which was enough time for Reina to kill Teach.

"Captain!" The rest of the Blackbeard Pirates rushed towards Reina, especially Laffitte and the others, who seemed to be risking their lives.

“Then it’s your turn… Don’t worry… I won’t kill you!” Reina drew Hyōrinmaru, kicked Teach’s corpse toward Lafayette, and then looked at Hansen beside him, saying softly.

"What do we do now?" Looking at Teach, who was motionless, Lafayette, who was holding him, asked the person next to him.

"The captain is dead... Is there any point in us continuing to exist?" Idar, who was lying on the ground unable to move, said softly.

"What? You're not thinking of breaking up now, are you? Even if you're going to break up, you should at least escape together first!" Gamenio, who emerged from the ruins, looked around and said.

"How is it?" Vista, who had already carried Ace on his back, came to Reina's side and asked.

“Hansen betrayed us; he ambushed Sachi! So… we absolutely cannot let him leave! As for Ace, he was probably just defeated by them; it's not a big deal. What's the situation on Big Brother's side? Is someone targeting us?” Reina briefly explained the situation here, and then asked.

"I don't know. I came over as soon as I saw the fighting here. Marco is treating Sachi, so he should be fine!" Vista shook his head and said.

"Fufufufufu... It's been so long since I've been beaten this badly... Blackbeard Teach, is it? Parasite Threads!" At this moment, Doflamingo, who had been thoroughly humiliated by Teach, slowly got up. His face was covered in blood, and he looked extremely angry.

As Doflamingo fired his parasitic filaments at the members of the Blackbeard Pirates, aside from Gamenio and others who managed to dodge, Jesus Burgess and Idal, who was lying on the ground, were both taken under his control.

"Oh no, he's a String-String Fruit user! Everyone be careful!" Laffitte, who had dodged the parasitic threads, shouted a warning to his companions.

"Fufufufu... Well then let me see... how you all fight each other!" With a flick of Doflamingo's finger, the Blackbeard Pirates members, whom he controlled, appeared to be attacking their own comrades.

"Watch out!" Suddenly, a red light flashed in Katakuri's eyes, and he shouted as he quickly retreated.

"Cough cough... Dark acupoints! Zhehahaha... I... won't die so easily!" But before the others could react, Teach, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly got up again, pressed one hand on the ground, and darkness immediately spread in all directions.

"They're still alive?" Reina grabbed Vista and Ace, spread his wings, and took off from where he stood.

Doflamingo, having received Katakuri's reminder, also used his abilities to temporarily ascend into the air.

"Zehahaha...Zehahaha...Rena...You can't kill me...Ugh...Cough cough cough...We'll meet again!" Blackbeard said, spitting out blood as he watched his companions being absorbed by the darkness. Then, he himself began to slowly sink, seemingly about to merge into the darkness.

"Trying to run?" Reina tossed Vista and Ace onto the top of a nearby building, then swooped down and headed straight for Blackbeard.

Chapter 327 Kizaru's Fate

"Dad!" When Lakuyo arrived with his men, Whitebeard and Shiki had already stopped fighting.

"What happened?" Whitebeard turned his head, looked at the unconscious Sachi, and asked with a frown.

“It’s Teach! When I got there, Marco was treating Sachi. According to him, Hansen ambushed Sachi and also kidnapped Ace! Reina and Vista have already gone after him, and Marco followed after bandaging Sachi!” Laqué briefly explained what had happened.

"What is Reina up to?" Whitebeard looked up at the direction where the explosions were still happening and frowned. "Have the ship's doctor treat Thatch. The rest of you go check it out! There are a lot of people around here, don't let anyone take advantage of the situation!"

"Yes, Father!" Fossa and the others standing behind Whitebeard nodded immediately and headed towards Reyner along with Laco. However, Jozu and the other captains did not leave.

"Hahahaha... Newgate... Looks like you've run into some trouble! Do you need my help?" Shiki the Golden Lion took a sip of his liquor and asked with a loud laugh.

“No need, Reina is capable enough for this!” Whitebeard shook his head and said.

"Really? That's a real shame! Speaking of which... why is the production of baijiu so low these days? That kid Reina used to send me baijiu all the time, but he hasn't sent any in recent years. Did he think I was dead?" Jin Shizi said, raising his baijiu glass.

"This stuff consumes too much food, so I had them reduce production!"

"Food? You still need that stuff?" The Golden Lion looked at him with disbelief and said, "It's all because of your weird sympathy... Newgate, I've told you many times, as long as you join forces with me! This world absolutely cannot stop us! How about it? I'll abandon Reina, and you come and join me!"

“I’ve already said I’m not interested in this kind of thing. Have you forgotten what happened to the captain back then?” Whitebeard shook his head and refused.

"Hehehehehe... He is him, and I am me! I am different from him! Come on! Newgate, let's conquer the world together! Hehehehehe..." The Golden Lion said with a somewhat crazy laugh.

"Go if you want, I won't stop you! But... don't mess with my family... or I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish... Shiki!" Whitebeard stared at Shiki and said softly.

"Fine, fine!" The Golden Lion pouted, unwilling to give up, and said, "Aren't you really even a little bit tempted?"

Whitebeard took a big gulp of sake and didn't bother with the other person at all.

On the other side, watching Teach attempt to escape using the black hole, Reina's right eye flashed red again.

Teach, who was slowly descending, was stunned and stood there for a moment, but he recovered in just a moment. Meanwhile, Reina's right eye became blurry.

"Damn it! Hyōrinmaru...stop him!" Reina threw the Hyōrinmaru at Teach.

A flash of blue light appeared, and Hyōrinmaru in mid-air transformed into a man with furrowed brows, blue eyes, a cracked cross-shaped scar on his face covered in thin ice, long dark green hair with slightly curled ends, ice dragon wings adorning his neck, a light purple kimono with dark blue armor tucked inside, and a long belt at his back, the ends of which were also covered in ice and snow, making him look like an immortal.

This person is the humanized form of Hyōrinmaru.

"Great Crimson Lotus Hyōrinmaru!" The Hyōrinmaru that appeared swung its sword directly at Teach. As the blade pointed, an ice dragon even larger than the one Reina used appeared. Moreover, the ice inside the ice dragon flowed like living water.

"Wow..."

When Hyōrinmaru's ice dragon collided with Teach, a strange sound of water appeared, and ice splashed everywhere like flowing water, freezing into ice wherever it was touched.

When the fog dissipated, it was revealed that everything within a radius of several hundred meters from where Teach stood was frozen into ice, and Teach himself had become a glittering ice sculpture.

Everyone looked at Reina and Hyōrinmaru with slight surprise.

"Crack, crack..." But at this moment, cracks began to appear on Teach's frozen body, and a trace of black aura emanated from it.

"Still not dead?" Reina waved his hand, and Senbonzakura appeared in his hand. He planned to finish Teach off with another sword strike, and he refused to believe that he couldn't kill him.

"Zeiha...Zeiha...Zeihahaha..."

But Teach broke the ice first and dodged Reina's attack.

“Reina! I told you, you can’t kill me!” Teach said to Reina, panting heavily.

“Is that so? You still think you have a place to run away? Hand over Hansen, and then surrender... I can spare your other companions!” Reina said, standing in front of Teach with Senbonzakura in his hand.

Teach looked around and found that in addition to the original people, quite a few members of the Whitebeard Pirates were heading here.

"Hahaha...Hansen?" Teach, covered in blood and frostbite, laughed as if he'd heard a joke after hearing Reina's words, saying, "I'm really sorry...I really can't do something like that!"

Reina's expression changed as he considered a possibility, and he stared at Teach, saying, "You killed him?"

"Hahahaha... You can't blame me! What can I do? Who told him to stop me from taking Sky Island? If it weren't for him... Sky Island would be mine, and I wouldn't be in such a sorry state now!" Teach said, sounding a little crazy.

"So... all of this... was planned by you all along?" Reina suppressed his anger and asked softly.

“Of course!” Teach said with a hint of pride.

"So... Captain Hansen was killed by you a long time ago? Then who exactly is this person all along?" Ace, who had somehow regained consciousness, said weakly, supporting Vista, to Teach.

"Who? Zehahaha... He's just an ordinary person! Now you've finally experienced the wonders of the Transformation Fruit? Don't worry, the real fun is yet to come! Reina, how about it? Want to try it?" Teach asked, looking at Reina provocatively.

“I never expected this answer… If that’s the case… I’d rather you tell me that Hansen did indeed betray us!” Reina sighed and said.

"Huff...huff..." Teach panted heavily, not answering Reina's question, but instead carefully considering how to escape from this desperate situation.
