Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

“It’s over, Teach!” Reina looked at Teach, who had nowhere to run, and said softly, “Arrogance and recklessness are your weaknesses! Even if I hadn’t stopped you, you wouldn’t have been the one to reach the top in the end! The person Roger was waiting for… wasn’t you!”

Upon hearing Reina's words, the surrounding forces who had rushed over lit up, as if they had gleaned some additional information from him.

“Roger? I will surpass him!” Teach said firmly, looking at Reina.

“No, you’ve missed your chance!” Reina said as he walked toward Teach. He wasn’t going to waste any more words; killing Teach was what he wanted to do most right now.

"Kizaru!" At this moment, Teach suddenly looked at Admiral Kizaru, who was watching the commotion, and said loudly, "Your Seven Warlords are missing one, aren't you? I'll apply to join, in exchange for some information that you might be interested in, how about it?"

"Hey...hey...at a time like this, don't drag me into this, okay?" Kizaru shook his head with a helpless expression and said.

"A wise choice!" Reina took a step forward, and the Thousand Cherry Blossoms in his hand stabbed directly at Teach.

"when!"

A longsword gleaming with yellow light blocked Reina's Thousand Cherry Blossoms.

"Kizaru? Are you looking for death?" Standing in front of Reina was none other than Admiral Kizaru.

"Oh dear~~ Don't be so scary, okay? Although I don't want to get involved either, but... I'm a little interested in his so-called information... so I have no choice but to take action!" Kizaru said with a frightened look and a light laugh.

"Hahaha... Reina, you're not the only one with information about Roger, I have it too! And it's about Roger's bloodline... How about it? Doesn't Lord Kizaru seem even more interested?" Seeing that Kizaru had actually stepped in to help him block Reina, Teach's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly. Hearing Teach's words, everyone except the Whitebeard Pirates was somewhat surprised.

Is he a descendant of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King?

This kind of thing should be impossible, right?

"Fufufufufu... Things seem to be getting even more interesting!" Doflamingo said with a strange laugh.

Katakuri stood aside, showing no intention of continuing to make a move, but it was clear that he didn't mind listening to more of this kind of secret information.

But at that moment, countless streams of flowing gold suddenly appeared where they were.

“Gentlemen…is it not appropriate for you to act so recklessly in my territory?” Tesoro slowly walked out and said.

By this time, the area where they fought had been almost completely leveled, with traces of fire and ice everywhere.

"Teach must die today! Kizaru, if you dare to stop me, I'll kill you! For this... even if it means going to war with your Navy, I'll do it!" After parting ways with Kizaru, Reina looked at Teach behind him and said firmly.

Kizaru sensed Reina's determination and began to weigh whether it was worth fighting the Whitebeard Pirates for Teach's sake.

Whitebeard himself has not yet joined the battle. Once Whitebeard appears, the situation will inevitably change.

"Scattered! Senbonzakura!" Just as Kizaru was still considering, Reina did not give him time. With a wave of his hand, the Senbonzakura blade slowly dissipated, turning into countless tiny petals.

Kizaru and Tesoro both changed color.

One of them hadn't decided whether to give up on Teach, and the other had just said no fighting was allowed. Reina's actions were a slap in the face to their own words.

"Hmph! He has already applied to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Whether he succeeds or not is our business. Killing him now... is a bit disrespectful!" Kizaru stood in front of Teach, putting away his joke and speaking with a slightly serious tone.

"Face...? I'll kill anyone who dares to protect him! I won't give face to anyone! Slay him!" As Reina finished speaking, the petals floating in the air began to move towards Teach, as if a strong wind was blowing them away.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh... Pfft~ Pfft~ Pfft~~" The petals passed through Kizaru's body, directly cutting wounds on his body, but the wounds did not bleed, instead turning into yellow light.

"Hmm? These are... slashes?" Kizaru was slightly taken aback before realizing that the petals seemed to be composed of countless tiny sword blades.

Chapter 328 Reina VS Teach

As Reina launched his attack, Marco, who had just arrived, also launched an attack on Teach.

"Hahaha... Dark Water!" Teach was no pushover either, and naturally chose to retaliate.

A black aura rose from his body, directly attracting the ability user.

"I'll take care of him! You guys hold off Kizaru! Hyōrinmaru... let's go!" Reina, wielding Senbonzakura, charged straight at Teach. Just as Kizaru was about to stop him, Marco flapped his wings and kicked him.

"Zehaha...Zehahaha..." Teach, whose body was covered in black mist, had begun to go berserk, and his attacks began to be released haphazardly in all directions.

"Damn bastard!" The Golden Emperor Tesoro, who was closest to him, was immediately grabbed by the neck by Teach and enjoyed the same treatment that Doflamingo had previously received.

"boom!"

After being rubbed and rubbed by Teach, Tezzolo was thrown directly at Reina, who was attacking.

Reina spun around and kicked Tezzolo, who was flying towards him, away. Then, as he continued to advance towards Teach, he shouted, "Leave Teach to me. You just need to stop him from escaping!"

"Rayna... Come on! Black Hole Release!" Teach shouted, and a large black hole appeared in the air. The things that he had absorbed earlier seemed to be shattered and began to be slowly "spit out" from it.

"captain!"

"What's going on now...?"

"Looks like we're still here... It won't be easy for us to escape!"

The members of the Blackbeard Pirates who had been sucked into Blackbeard's black hole were also released by him at this time.

“Give me some time!” Teach said to his crew.

“Understood, Captain, leave it to us!” Zishas Bashas nodded in reply.

However, due to his previous battle with Ace, Idar was essentially powerless to retaliate at this point.

"They're here!" At this moment, Reina had already begun to approach them.

"Flame!" When Gamenio saw Reina rushing over, he immediately chose Ace's fire ability, which was the best way to deal with ice, and the large amount of fire could also help them buy time.

However, he didn't realize that Reina was no longer in his Bankai form wielding Hyōrinmaru.

"Hyōrinmaru!" Reina called out to Hyōrinmaru as soon as he saw Gamenio use Ace's power.

Seeing this, Hyōrinmaru, who was following behind Reina, waved his hand, and an ice dragon appeared, heading straight for Gamenio.

"Teach...you can't escape!" Seeing Teach constantly emanating black energy from his body, Reina waved the Thousand Cherry Blossoms in his hand, which once again disintegrated into countless petals.

“Leave it to me!” Lafayette drew the rapier hidden in his cane and went straight for Reina, while sniper Van Auger also raised his gun and aimed.

"Pfft!"

The petals flew past Lafayette, and suddenly several cuts appeared on his body.

"Watch out, these petals are the blades!" Lafayette warned her companion as she swung her sword to block.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out; it was Van Oka... He found an opening in Reina's defenses and fired directly.

"when!"

Reina, who had activated Armament Haki, was completely unafraid of bullets and simply blocked them with his arm.

"boom!"

Just as Van Oka was about to fire again, he suddenly rolled away to the side.

"You'd better not bother the vice-captain! If you want to have some fun... then let me keep you company!" Captain Izo of the 16th Division, who appeared out of nowhere, stood not far from Van Augur and said, holding up a pistol.

“Interesting… It seems our meeting was guided by fate!” Van Augur smiled slightly, and without saying another word, he raised his gun and fired.

Izo also dodged and counterattacked at an extremely fast speed, and unknowingly shortened the distance between the two.

"boom!"

"Well!"

"Close-quarters marksmanship?"

It wasn't until he was shot that Van Augur realized that he and his opponent were getting closer and closer. He was a sniper, and long-range sniping was his forte. He didn't know techniques like Izo's, which allowed him to fight at close range while dodging and shooting at the same time.

“Since you know it’s close-quarters gunplay, then you should also know… you’ve lost!” Izou said softly, his gun already pointed at Van Augur.

"Phew! I never expected to witness close-quarters gunfights. What a twist of fate!" Van Auger put down his sniper rifle and closed his eyes, saying.

Izang smiled slightly. Many of his close-range shooting techniques came from Reina. Although Reina himself did not know them, he knew this combat mode. So after talking to Izang, he began to practice in this direction. Now he can dodge bullets at close range and also use a pistol to counterattack.

His ability was so remarkable that not only Reina, the instigator, was amazed, but the entire Whitebeard Pirates were also in awe of it.

Anyone who has witnessed it cannot help but marvel at the brilliant tactics employed.

Just as Izang was about to deal with Van Augur, Blackbeard Teach suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hands, and a black sphere appeared, which then slowly began to grow larger rapidly.

"Reina! Take this... Black Hole - Devour!" Teach threw a giant black sphere at Reina, and the rest of the Blackbeard Pirates who were blocking Reina's way all ran away.

"Hehehehe...This is getting interesting! In that case...I'll show you the most beautiful scenery! Hyōrinmaru...Let's give it a try!" Seeing Teach unleash his ultimate move, Reina smiled mysteriously and said softly.

"Yes, Master! Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!" Hyōrinmaru, who had been following Reina, stepped forward and began to merge into Reina's body.

This was something Reina and Hyōrinmaru discovered by chance. Hyōrinmaru, who had taken human form, inherited Reina's swordsmanship and possessed unparalleled familiarity with himself. However, he lacked energy, which made it quite difficult for him to use many of his moves.

So, in a whimsical moment, Reina had Hyōrinmaru hold his hand while releasing his attack, trying to see if he could transfer energy from his body and steal it, as if Hyōrinmaru were still in his hand.

It was during that experiment that they discovered that the humanized Hyōrinmaru could actually fuse with Reina.

However, at the beginning, their fusion was quite unstable, and the techniques they used were not even as good as those used by Hyōrinmaru himself. But with their continuous practice, they are now able to fully fuse together.

However, when Reina used Senbonzakura, in order not to affect the use of Senbonzakura, they only fused half of it.

At this moment, Reina appeared quite bizarre in everyone's eyes. Half of his body was ice blue, covered by a layer of dragon-shaped armor formed from ice, and his eyes had also turned into an eerie ice blue. The other half of his body was in its normal form.

In reality, Reina's state in this condition wasn't as complicated as others perceived. He simply relinquished control of half of his body to Hyōrinmaru, allowing Hyōrinmaru to use the body's energy simultaneously with him, thus creating the spectacle of both Zanpakutōs simultaneously unleashing their Bankai.

"Roar~~~" A huge ice dragon rose from Reina's left hand and shot straight into the sky.

"Oh no! Everyone retreat! That guy... has he forgotten we're on a ship? Is he trying to destroy this place?" Seeing Reina's condition, Marco exclaimed in alarm and immediately ordered everyone to retreat. They didn't even care about the marines who were trying to stop them; they all ran faster than rabbits.

They all knew when Reina practiced this technique, since such fusion would cause changes in the surrounding weather, and its powerful aura was hard to ignore.

Especially Hyōrinmaru, who received support from Reina's body, generated a pressure when he made a move that made them feel like they were on Winter Island every time.

"Hey...hey...that guy...is he planning to destroy this place?" The Beast Pirates, who had been observing from the sidelines without even showing up, couldn't help but speak up when they sensed Reina and Teach's attacks in the center of the battlefield.

"Die!" Reina, clad in half-body ice armor, his eyes now icy blue, roared at Teach, and the giant dragon circling in the air charged directly at the massive black sphere that Teach was launching.

The collision between ice and darkness did not produce an explosion as everyone had imagined. Instead, the ice seemed to be absorbed by the darkness, and the dragon completely immersed itself in Teach's darkness.

Just when everyone thought Teach had the upper hand, the entire black ball suddenly began to glow with a strange blue light.

"Snap~~~Crack~~~"

The huge black sphere developed some blue cracks, making it look like it could break apart at any moment.

"Zehahaha... I knew it... As expected of Reina! But... I... am not so easy to defeat! Infinite Darkness!" Just as the huge black sphere was about to crack open, Blackbeard Teach's hands turned black again, and black smoke began to rise from his body, forming some strange phenomena behind him.

The cracked black sphere seemed to be devouring the blue fissures, slowly healing itself.

But at that moment, the right side of the body, which was still holding Senbonzakura's arm, suddenly let go of Senbonzakura.
