Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Reina shook his head and said, "It's too early for you to know now, you'll understand later! You were all probably unconvinced by what I said earlier, right? You wanted to say you could protect Robin, right? Let's try... If Luffy defeats Lucci without my intervention, then you win! I'll not only take you away from here, but I can even teach you for a few days!"

"But if Luffy loses and needs my help... I hope you can promise me one thing... that you will do everything in your power to protect Robin! As long as she doesn't die... I will avenge her for whatever she has lost!"

"Hoo~" Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke and said softly, "No need for a bet. Before I die, I will absolutely not let Robin get hurt!"

Reina smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Having this agreement made a difference compared to not having it.

"By the way, you said before that the World Government was related to your mother's death? What's that about?" At this moment, Reina remembered that Robin's reason for coming here was to find out the reason for her mother's death.

"Yes! He said it himself..." Robin recounted what happened back then, and Franky heard it too, so it shouldn't be wrong.

“Spandam? So it’s that guy… I knew I warned Ohara not to study the Poneglyphs, so why was your mother suddenly arrested by the Navy… So the World Government is involved! They probably just used that as an excuse to lure me there!” Reina’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the unconscious Spandam and said softly.

“That’s right. Later, the Navy and the World Government used this as a reason to destroy Ohara… They didn’t have any evidence at the time. They only found out about Ohara’s research on the Poneglyphs after they captured the expedition team that went out to find them!” Robin nodded and said.

“Very good…I will settle this score with them!” Reina nodded, keeping it in mind.

"Boom boom boom..." The naval bombardment intensified, not only leveling Enies Lobby but also blasting the road between the connecting bridge and the first pillar, turning the place where Luffy and Lucci fought into an "isolated island"!

"They're coming! Let's go down and fight! Don't destroy this ship!" Zoro grabbed his weapon and prepared to disembark, as the navy warships were already approaching them. However, they hadn't fired at them because they weren't sure if there were any navy soldiers left on board.

“Alright! Father, please stay here and wait. I believe Luffy will defeat the opponent, no matter how strong they are!” Robin said to Reina as she walked towards the connecting bridge.

“I won’t intervene until you are in danger, but once I do… you must immediately follow my instructions to evacuate!” Reina nodded and replied.

Soon, two hundred elite naval captains launched an attack on them simultaneously, while Luffy was also hit by Lucci's powerful attack and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

"Captain...!" Robin stood on the broken bridge and shouted loudly in that direction, "Haven't you heard my answer yet? Defeat him, then come... and take me with you to sea! I want to witness the moment you become the Pirate King, as the historian of your ship!"

"Whoa~~~" Encouraged by Robin, Luffy got up again and started fighting Rob Lucci.

"This won't do... There are more and more enemies! Be prepared to retreat at any time!" After the previous battle with CP9, almost every crew member was injured. Now, facing so many elite naval forces, they simply cannot hold out for long.

"Gum-Gum Jet Gun!!!" Luffy unleashed his final attack with all his might, knocking Rob Lucci down.

Rob Lucci's defeat also startled the Navy.

Just as Reina said, Rob Rocky, as the face of CP's intelligence department, is almost as important as a Marine Admiral. The impact of such a mission being defeated by an unknown pirate is enormous!

"Robin... let's go back together!" Luffy, lying on the ground, shouted with his last bit of strength.

"Yes!" Robin, with tears in her eyes, nodded and replied.

"Report to the entire navy... CP9's Rob Lucci... just now... was defeated by Straw Hat Monkey D. Luffy!" At this moment, the Navy's communicator used a megaphone Den Den Mushi to transmit the news of Luffy's victory.

"What?" Not only the naval soldiers, but even the five vice admirals who were dispatched looked at the first pillar in astonishment, where Rob Lucci had fallen into a pool of blood and was completely unconscious.

"Luffy, come quick! We're running away!" The Straw Hat crew were overjoyed to see Luffy defeat his opponent, but then they realized that Luffy was lying there motionless.

"Hey... Luffy, what are you doing? Come here right now!" Usopp shouted.

"I...I feel like I can't move. I have no strength at all!" Luffy said, panting heavily.

The navy seems to have noticed this as well and is moving closer to the first pillar.

"Hurry, we can't hold out much longer! All the items, get back to the ship, we'll sail over there!" Nami shouted.

"It's too late..." Sanji shouted anxiously, looking at the cannon barrel that was already aimed at Luffy.

"Father...please help me!" Robin suddenly shouted at that moment.

"Scatter, Senbonzakura!"

As Robin finished speaking, countless flower petals suddenly appeared in the sky, and then Reina's voice came through.

"Puff puff puff..." As the petals swept across the ground, countless naval soldiers fell to the ground.

"This is... a slash?" Zoro, a swordsman, was shocked to discover that these petals were actually countless blades.

"This is...?" Upon seeing this attack method and hearing that familiar voice, Vice Admiral Momonga's expression suddenly changed. He looked towards the connecting bridge, where a figure was slowly walking from the transport ship towards the connecting bridge.

"It's...it's...Akame Reina!!" At this moment, a naval soldier finally recognized Reina and shouted in terror.

"Why...why is he here?" With Reina's appearance, the previously relaxed lieutenant generals began to tense up.

“One, two, three… nine! Nine warships… quite a show of force! Can you tell me… what are you here for?” Reina asked softly, pointing at the warships, then a slight smile played on his lips.

Originally there were ten warships, but one was destroyed in Luffy's battle with Lucci, so now there are nine.

"Shhhhhh!"

"Da da da...!"

As Reina appeared, five lieutenant generals simultaneously appeared and blocked his way.

“Rainer…why are you here?” Lieutenant General Momonga drew his weapon and asked.

"Why am I here?" Reina chuckled and said, "Shouldn't I be asking you that? You kidnapped my daughter... what do you want?"

"Your daughter?" Reina's words stunned all the marines on the spot. They had no idea that Reina had a daughter, and had never even heard of it.

Only Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel seemed to have heard about it, but he didn't know the specifics.

"Ah~ Robin, say hello to these Marines! It'll be good for them to get to know you, otherwise it wouldn't be good if they got it wrong later!" Reina said with a slight smile.

Robin approached Reiner and addressed the Marines, saying, "Benelli D. Robin!"

“Benelli D. Robin… Benelli D… That’s… that’s Benelli D. Reina’s full name!” The Marines stared in shock at Robin standing behind Reina, their mouths agape.

"Then, as the culprit who captured my daughter... I will... publicly execute him!" Only then did everyone notice that next to Reina lay a man with a severed arm, none other than Spandam, the commander of CP9.

"Insolence! Who do you think you are?" Lieutenant General Onigumo roared and launched an attack on Reina.

"Humph! Courting death!"

A flash of red light appeared in Reina's eyes, and his three-tomoe Sharingan was activated. He instantly disappeared from his original spot and reappeared next to Vice Admiral Onigumo, kicking him in the stomach and sending him flying.

"So fast!" Sanji and Zoro said at the same time.

Neither of them saw Reina's movements clearly.

"Humph!"

Reina glanced at the remaining four people. He knew that he had to use swift and decisive measures to intimidate the Navy, otherwise, if they got entangled with them, things would be troublesome!

"Take your companions aboard first, I'll take care of things here!" Reina said softly to Robin as he returned to his original spot.

Chapter 374 I've come to take you home

Seeing Onigumo being kicked away by Reina, Vice Admiral Momonga and the other three looked at Reina with slight tension.

They were still in shock when they learned that Reina had a daughter, and a survivor of Ohara named Nicole Robin... no, they should now call her Benedict D. Robin.

"Boom boom boom..."

Just as Robin was about to lead his companions onto the ship, suddenly, the warships opened fire, destroying the transport ship. It turned out that Onigumo, who had been knocked away by Reina, had spotted the transport ship behind them and ordered his men to fire, thus destroying it.

"Oh no, Granny Kokkoro and Zimoni are still on the ship!" Nami said with a grim expression as she watched the transport ship turn into pieces and sink into the sea.

"It's alright, they escaped!" Reina looked at the destroyed transport ship, his face also looking rather grim. Although he had sensed with his Observation Haki that Granny Kokkoro and Zimoni had escaped from underwater, doing this in front of him was undoubtedly a slap in the face.

"Senbonzakura - Kageyoshi!!" Releasing Senbonzakura from his hand, Senbonzakura fell vertically to the ground and disappeared.

"Oh no..." Lieutenant General Momonga's expression changed, and he shouted, "Everyone, retreat!"

But he spoke too late.

As Senbonzakura disappeared, countless blades rose from the ground, and then began to shatter in the eyes of all the marines, turning into petals composed of countless tiny blades.

"This...is this even considered a swordsman?" Sanji unconsciously dropped the cigarette he was holding, and he felt a sense of surrealism as he watched Reina's attack.

“But those people… were indeed cut by the blades!” Zoro said, looking at the Marine soldiers lying on the ground.

With just one move, most of the two hundred elite marines who had previously surrounded the Straw Hat crew were knocked to the ground, and the rest were forced to retreat. As for the five vice admirals, they were also in a sorry state, especially Onigumo, who arrived last, and was given special attention by Reina.

Reina looked at Luffy lying on the bridge pier. The petals on the ground fluttered and slowly returned to his hand, forming the shape of Senbonzakura again.

"Slash!" Reina drew his sword and unleashed a semi-circular slash, flying directly towards the opposing navy, while he himself vanished from his spot.

"Don't let him succeed!" The enraged Oni Spider's hair flew wildly, transforming into eight arms, each wielding a weapon, and he charged directly at the attacking spider.

The other four vice admirals instantly understood Onigumo's meaning and rushed towards the bridge pier where Luffy was, trying to stop Reina from rescuing the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Damn it!" But the four people still in the air discovered that after Reina arrived at the bridge pier, he did not immediately go to save Luffy, but instead launched another slash at them.

"Clang!!!" Although the four of them managed to block the slash, they were all sent flying and were about to fall into the sea.

Among them, Lieutenant General Dalmesia is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user. If he falls into the sea, he will lose his fighting ability.

Fortunately, they were all powerful users of the Six Powers of the Navy, so they used Moonwalk to return to the connecting bridge before falling into the sea.

"Flying Squirrel, this won't do! Contact headquarters immediately and request reinforcements!" Onigumo, who had blocked Reina's attack, shouted as he saw his four companions being forced back by Reina.

Vice Admiral Momonga nodded, took out a Den Den Mushi from his person, and prepared to contact headquarters.

"Ultimate Kill - Firebird Star!" A fireball shot straight at Vice Admiral Momonga, taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention and destroying the Den Den Mushi in his hand in one strike.

"Damn it! Are you looking for death?" Upon seeing this, Vice Admiral Fire Mountain immediately attacked Usopp, but was blocked by Sanji.

"Thirty-six rounds of blooming!"

"Left-handed weapon!"

As Sanji and Usopp took action, the Straw Hat crew also joined in to prevent the vice admirals from contacting Marine Headquarters.

But this was of no use, because the naval personnel on the warships had already begun contacting naval headquarters.

"Here you go!" Reina returned carrying the immobile Luffy and threw him over to Zoro, then went to find the vice admirals.

"What do we do? We don't have a boat now!" Sanji asked anxiously, shielding Robin and Nami behind him.

Because of their earlier attack, the naval soldiers are now attacking again.

"What's that sound? Did you hear it? What's that sound?" At this moment, Usopp seemed to be possessed, running around and asking questions.

"Usopp, what are you doing?" Zoro said angrily, blocking the Marines who were attacking Usopp.

At a time like this, Usopp was still causing trouble, which made him a little angry.

"No, there was a sound. Didn't you hear it? It sounded like... it sounded like someone was calling me!" Usopp quickly explained.

"I...I think I heard it too!" Chopper, who was being carried on Sanji's back, suddenly said at this moment.

"It's Merry! It's Merry... She's come to take us!" Suddenly, Usopp pointed below the bridge and shouted while crying.

Everyone looked towards Fangfang and, sure enough, it was the Going Merry.
