Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Merry!!" the Straw Hat crew exclaimed in surprise.

"You guys go first!" Reina's lips curled up slightly. Having been in this world for so many years, he had his own understanding of pirate ships. For those pirates who cherished their pirate ships, they were their partners.

The Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick was always maintained by Reina and the shipwrights, and the modifications were also done by him and Dr. So Reina cherished the pirate ship very much.

"Let's go!" Usopp was the first to jump towards the Going Merry, and the rest of his companions followed suit.

After seeing the Straw Hat crew leave, Reina stopped holding back and increased the frequency and intensity of his attacks.

"Powerful Strike - Break!"

"Boom boom boom..."

Reina punched the connecting bridge, instantly shattering it. The naval soldiers who couldn't escape in time all fell into the sea, but the vice admirals had already returned to their respective warships.

"We absolutely cannot let them escape, pursue them!" Vice Admiral Onigumo brandished his spear and immediately ordered the warships to give chase to the Merry.

"Want to play around some more, huh!" Reina, who had landed on the Going Merry, smiled slightly and immediately formed hand seals, shouting, "Summoning Jutsu!"

"Oh!"

"Roar~~"

After a cloud of smoke cleared, the enormous, slender figure appeared at the stern of the Merry.

"What...what kind of monster is this?!" The appearance of Liuliu not only startled the Navy, but also the Straw Hat crew, who were immersed in reuniting with Merry.

"Gagaga... It's actually a large Sea King! That's amazing!" Grandma Kokoro, who had brought Zimoni and Kumbbe aboard the Going Merry, laughed loudly when she saw Liuliu.

"Hehe... Liuliu, let's play with them!" Reina said with a light laugh.

"Hiss~~ Roar~~" Liu Liu roared, then sank directly into the seabed.

Liuliu already has a wealth of experience dealing with warships.

With Slippery keeping the warship occupied, the Merry could leave more easily. However, Vice Admiral Squirrel and his men clearly did not want to let Reina go; this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In their view, the only capable fighter on the other side was Reina. If they could just keep Reina occupied and wait for reinforcements from headquarters to arrive, they would have a great chance of taking him down.

"These guys... it seems they're not planning to let me leave!" Seeing that they were hot on his heels, Reina immediately understood their intentions.

“Father…” Robin was a little embarrassed. He was the one who asked Reina to take action, and now that Reina was being targeted, she felt it was still her fault.

“It’s alright… these guys aren’t a problem, but we need to deal with this one first!” Reina said with a smile as he walked toward Spandam, who had regained consciousness.

"No...don't come any closer..." Spadam struggled back in fear as Reina approached him, but Reina ignored him completely, picked him up, and carried him to the stern.

Robin, Zoro, and Sanji followed, leaving Usopp to take care of the immobile Chopper and Luffy, while Nami and Franky steered the course.

"Hey~ Navy over there, pass on a message to Spandam of the World Government for me..." Reina shouted to the pursuing navy warships while carrying the struggling Spandam.

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel and the others came to the bow of the ship to look at Reina, wondering what kind of trouble he was going to cause this time.

“Tell him… tell him to wash his neck and wait for me… since his son betrayed him, then… let him be prepared to pay the price!” After saying that, Reina threw Spandam into the sea and shouted, “Swoosh!”

"Oh no!" Vice Admiral Momonga and the others' expressions changed. Reina was planning to feed the CP9 commander to the Sea Kings!

But just as they were about to rush to the rescue, Reina suddenly drew his sword and swung it, shattering Spandam, who was still howling in the air, into several pieces. Then, he leaped out of the sea and swallowed the several pieces of Spandam whole.

As he leaped into the air, splashing through the waves, Reina smiled and walked on the water, heading straight for the warship of the strongest Vice Admiral, Onigumo.

"Damn it, attack together!" Upon seeing this, Lieutenant General Fire Mountain shouted, and the other four disappeared from their original positions at the same time, rushing towards the location of Onigumo to rescue Lieutenant General Onigumo.

"Let's go!" Seeing Reina make his move, Robin gritted her teeth and said to Nami ahead, "Nami, full speed ahead, get rid of the warships behind us!"

"Is this really a good idea? That's nine warships! And reinforcements from Marine Headquarters could arrive at any moment!" Zoro turned to Robin and asked.

If it weren't for Reina's intervention, they probably wouldn't have been able to leave smoothly at all.

They had witnessed firsthand the power of the Buster Call. Enies Lobby, a small island, was reduced to rubble in a very short time. If it weren't for them, Enies Lobby would probably have sunk to the bottom of the sea by now.

“No problem, with Liuliu and Hardshell here, Father shouldn’t have any trouble leaving!” Robin hesitated for a moment before saying.

Sanji, standing nearby, nodded in agreement and said, "I hate to say this, but Robin is right. We're just a burden! Without us, it would be much easier for Robin's father to leave!"

Robin glanced at Reina rushing towards the warship, then turned and left, going straight to the deck.

"Grandma Kokkoro, did you bring the Going Merry here? Where did you find the Going Merry? Wasn't he..." After shaking off his pursuers, Usopp remembered and asked Grandma Kokkoro.

"Huh? No! Didn't I come here with you in a rocket pilot?" Grandma Kokoro shook her head and said.

“But… I just checked, there’s no one else on the ship!” Nami said as she came out of the cabin.

"What's going on? This is definitely the Going Merry! Who brought it here?" everyone asked, puzzled.

"Everyone... I've come to pick you up!"

At that moment, the Straw Hat crew suddenly heard a voice.

“That voice…” Usopp paused, then exclaimed in surprise, “I heard it on the Bridge of Connection before! Who was it? Who was it?”

“I…I heard it too…” Chopper said, trembling.

Just as everyone was puzzled, Usopp suddenly looked at the bow of the Going Merry, where Luffy was lying on his VIP seat, a seat that no one was allowed to touch.

"Merry...is that you?" Usopp asked incredulously, "It's you, isn't it?...Merry!"

"I've come to take you home!" The voice appeared again, and this time even Franky, Grandma Kokoro, and the others heard it.

Chapter 375 Return Flight

"By the way, Robin! Is Mr. Reina really your father?" Nami asked curiously, looking at the calm sea in the distance.

Her words also attracted the attention of the other members.

“Yes! My full name is Benedict D. Robin! Nico is my mother’s surname. When I was little, my mother named me Nico Robin to hide it from my father!” Robin nodded and said.

"I never imagined that Robin's father was such an important person!" Sanji exclaimed.

During their trip to Enies Lobby, they learned everything about Robin's past, and were all quite moved.

"That's wonderful! I knew it! That's why Robin and I are so close..." Nami hugged Robin with a smile and told her about her childhood experiences.

"Ah~ Father never mentioned this to me... So it was Father who taught you how to sail!" Robin said with a sudden realization.

“That’s right. Although we don’t have the formal title of master and disciple, we are practically master and disciple! And if it weren’t for Mr. Reina… Bellemere might have…” Nami nodded and said.

"I never expected you to be Mr. Reina's daughter, it's truly astonishing!" Franky chimed in.

"Huh? Is that guy Robin's father?" Luffy asked in surprise at this moment.

"Idiot, didn't you hear what we said before?" Sanji said to Luffy. "Also, don't refer to Robin's father as 'that guy'!"

"Ah~ he was Ace's mentor!" Luffy recalled.

As a child, Ace didn't aspire to such an active and passionate life. However, after meeting Reyna, Ace seemed to become even more enthusiastic. Moreover, after setting sail, he became a member of the Whitebeard Pirates. So, when Ace met Luffy last time, he mentioned Reyna, referring to him as his mentor.

"I never imagined that so many people on our ship were connected to him!" Zoro exclaimed.

"Hahaha... Reina is known as the role model of the pirate world and has the title of the strongest first mate. Straw Hat Boy, don't you want to become the Pirate King? If you don't surpass him... you can't become a pirate!" Granny Kokoro said with a smile.

"Hmph! I will definitely surpass him!" Luffy replied firmly.

"The strongest first mate?" Zoro stroked the sword at his waist. As a swordsman himself, he felt that he had gained another target.

Just thinking about Reina's bizarre moves made Zoro frown deeply; he had never seen such strange swordsmanship before.

"So back in Alabasta... Reina went there for you too?" Nami asked, suddenly remembering something.

Robin shook her head and said, "At that time, my father was chasing after a traitor from the Whitebeard Pirates. Ace, the captain of the second division, was originally supposed to meet with me, but it seems that Ace encountered that traitor. My father was worried about Ace, so he came along!"

"Ace?" The group couldn't help but think of the man they had met in Alabasta, their captain, Luffy's brother.

"Oh, right, Luffy, your brother Ace was the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, wasn't he?" The group belatedly realized.

Lying on the bow of the ship, Luffy grinned and said, "Yeah! I know, he said he wanted Whitebeard to become the Pirate King! But it's okay, we can just have a fight then!"

"I'm really looking forward to that time!" Zoro said, his fighting spirit evident.

"Hehehe... Luffy! Although I support you, don't underestimate your father! Although his body isn't what it used to be, he's still the strongest man in the world!" Robin said with a smile. "Neither your brother nor my father are ordinary people, but they are willing to become your father's subordinates. That shows how powerful he is!"

"The strongest man?" Zoro and Luffy asked at the same time.

“Yes! Old man Edward Newgate, Whitebeard, captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, and a Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit user. Whether it’s pirates or marines, no one has any objection to his title as the strongest man in the world!” Robin nodded and said.

"Stronger than a Marine Admiral?" Usopp asked, his voice trembling slightly.

“Father said that if he wanted to become the Pirate King, he could reach the final island faster than Roger. But Father didn’t seem interested in that title, so he sent Kozuki Oden, the second division commander at the time, to help Roger complete the final voyage!” Robin nodded and said.

This is what Reina said to Robin to glorify Whitebeard. He didn't tell her that Oden was poached by Roger. The naive Robin thought it was true.

"What?" Everyone was incredulous upon hearing Robin's exclusive revelation. Someone who could have reached the final island even before Roger would give up such an opportunity?

"So Luffy... if you want to become the Pirate King... the Whitebeard Pirates are an obstacle you can't get past!" Robin said seriously.

"Hehehe... It's okay, we'll surpass them in the future!" Luffy replied with a confident smile.

Robin smiled slightly and said, "I'll tell you about the Whitebeard Pirates when the time comes!"

"That's not a good idea! After all, that's your father's pirate crew!" Sanji said with a smile, taking a drag of his cigarette.

“It’s alright, Father won’t mind! If it’s a fair and square challenge, they won’t refuse! But if we want to challenge the Whitebeard Pirates, we still have a long way to go!” Robin said with a smile.

"Hey? Look! A ship is coming!" Luffy, who was riding on Chopper and wandering around on the deck, suddenly noticed a large ship in front of him.

“It’s Iceberg from Water Seven!” Nami immediately recognized Iceberg standing at the bow of the ship.

"Idiot Iceberg..." Franky, wearing sunglasses, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly when he saw Iceberg.

"Oh~~ It's the Straw Hat Pirates! They really came back alive!"

"That's amazing! They actually made it through the tsunami!"

When the ship's crew saw Luffy and his crew, they shouted excitedly.

"This is really reckless. They went against the World Government and actually managed to get their crewmates back... I wonder if they've run into Mr. Reina yet!" Iceberg chuckled softly as he looked at Robin and Franky with Luffy and the others.

"Crack~~ Boom~~"

But at that moment, half of the Merry's hull suddenly broke off, startling everyone.

"What happened? Merry was just fine a moment ago!" Luffy was startled and shouted.

"What do you mean suddenly... Isn't this the most natural thing to do? After all, the Merry has already been diagnosed as a ship that can no longer sail!" Sanji said somewhat sadly.

"Uncle Iceberg...please, let Merry see this! Aren't you the best shipwrights? It's our partner!" Luffy immediately shouted at Iceberg.
