Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

“These clumsy moves won’t work on me!” Reina said softly as he easily dodged Zefa’s attack.

"Luxuriant... Bind!" At this moment, Binz, who had been standing aside in ninja attire, also joined the battle, using his abilities to restrict Reina's movement and create an opportunity for his teacher, Zephyr.

"Huh? Outnumbering the weak?" Reina was taken aback. He really hadn't expected Zefa to send two of his disciples to make a move.

It's important to know that Zephyr values ​​the two of them highly. If they were to fight, Zephyr would likely be killed by Reina. Conversely, as long as the two of them don't fight, Reina wouldn't make things difficult for them even if Zephyr was defeated.

"Hahaha... I can't handle you alone!" Zefa said, laughing as he threw a punch at Reina.

"But adding your two disciples... is that enough? Sharingan... activate!" Reina became serious after activating his Sharingan.

"Gebrushhot, fire!" Ain seized the opportunity and fired a shot at Reina, but Reina ignored her and punched Zephyr instead.

"Boom~~~"

Reina's right arm collided with Zephyr's shredder, instantly generating a powerful airflow that forced both of them to retreat involuntarily. At the same time, the plants growing on the ground were blown away by the violent explosion caused by their battle.

"Oh no!" Upon seeing this, Zephyr immediately realized Reina's plan and shouted loudly to his two disciples, "Ain, Binz, watch out!"

"It's too late!" Taking advantage of the shockwave from the explosion, Reina had already reached Binz's side, but instead of killing him, he knocked him unconscious with a chop to the neck.

"Damn it, let go of Binz! Crush the Tornado!" Enraged, Zephyr punched Reina again, his right arm's crusher working continuously, as if gathering power.

"The Hand That Turns Back Time!"

Ain, who was right next to Reina, also attacked him. A peach-colored flame appeared in her palm. This was a flame unique to her Rewind Fruit. The flame itself could not cause harm, but as long as anyone or anything other than herself touched the flame, time would be reversed.

“A very interesting ability! The Doctor might like it... Now that you've made your move, be prepared!” Reina first ducked to dodge Ain’s attack, then punched her in the stomach.

However, at that moment, Zephyr's attack arrived, and Reina had to slow down his movements and kick Zephyr first.

"boom!"

Reina and Zephyr each took a few steps back again, while Ain took the opportunity to escape.

"You brat, let go of Binz!" Zefa roared angrily, looking at Binz who was being held by Renate.

"That won't do!" Reina chuckled and tossed Binz overboard. Hardshell, who had been waiting there, caught Binz and quickly swam away.

"You bastard... Looks like I have no choice but to beat you today!" Zephyr took off his sunglasses, revealing a serious expression, and said.

“Of course!” Reina smiled slightly and slowly drew out Senbonzakura.

Chapter 380 Aokiji Arrives to the Rescue

Just as Reina and Zephyr were fighting, three naval warships were heading towards the location of their battle on the sea not far away.

"Are you sure? Is Reina really there?" Aokiji asked in a deep voice, standing on the deck of the middle warship.

"Yes, Admiral Kuzan, Akame Reyner has already engaged Lord Zephyr!" The officer beside him nodded and said, "We've also contacted Lord Garp, and he's on his way!"

"Understood, have the warships speed up!" Aokiji nodded and said.

This ambush on Whitebeard was carried out by Aokiji and five vice admirals leading five warships. Although they repelled the Whitebeard Pirates, only three warships remained.

Although the newspapers reported that the Whitebeard Pirates were routed and forced to flee, Aokiji knew that this was simply because Whitebeard didn't want to increase casualties. Otherwise, it was hard to say what the final outcome would have been.

But now, they have the opportunity to ambush Reina, and if they do it well, they could capture or kill him.

"Boom boom boom~~~"

Just as they were approaching the target area, they suddenly heard an explosion ahead, and then they noticed that the sky seemed to have turned gloomy.

"It seems we've already engaged in combat! Notify all ships to prepare for the capture operation!" Aokiji said, his expression slightly grim, as he stood at the front of the deck.

Meanwhile, Reina, who was fighting Zephyr, also noticed the approaching warship. However, he did not panic. Instead, he smiled and said to Zephyr, "Old man Zephyr, it seems that this time, you really intend to kill me!"

“Of course!” Zephyr replied earnestly, shielding Ain behind him.

"Then I won't hold back. If you die... don't blame me! Hyōrinmaru... Bankai!" After retrieving Senbonzakura, Reina drew Hyōrinmaru and activated Bankai mode.

A gigantic ice dragon soared into the sky, and with the Sharingan in its eyes, Reina looked quite eerie.

"Ain, you take the soldiers and leave first... That guy is getting serious!" Zephyr whispered to Ain behind him.

“But teacher…” Ain wanted to say something, but Zephyr waved her hand to interrupt her. Helpless, she had no choice but to lead the soldiers away on a lifeboat and retreat towards the naval warship.

"Zeffa, you old man... die!" With his icy wings unfurled, Reina, wielding Hyōrinmaru, charged directly at Zefa.

"You're not qualified to kill me!" Zefa's right arm began to compress wildly, releasing large amounts of steam, before he punched Reina.

"Ice Dragon Tail!" Hyōrinmaru and Zephyr's right arms collided, neither able to gain the upper hand. However, after Reina's Bankai, a dragon tail made of ice chains lashed out at Zephyr.

"Crush the Short-Range Kick!" At the critical moment, the crusher in Zefa's right arm vibrated continuously, and the force released directly sent Reina flying.

“You old codger…you’re pretty strong!” Reina said with a light laugh, swinging his arm.

"Don't underestimate me, you bastard!" Zefa smiled slightly and charged at Reina again.

"Boom boom boom..." The two fought at breakneck speed, resulting in damage to the warship in many places.

"cut!"

"ah!"

"Oh!"

Reina's slash and Zephyr's fist collided again. Both were knocked back, and the warship could no longer hold on. It was smashed into two pieces and began to slowly sink.

“You don’t have much energy left!” Reina said, looking at the panting Zefa from the front half of the warship.

“Defeating you… is enough! Whew~~” Zephyr, standing on the stern of the warship, took a deep breath and said slowly.

“I hope you’re not just spouting nonsense… otherwise…” Reina didn’t finish his sentence. Instead, he leaped up, using his wings to stay in the air, and began to gather his strength.

"You brat... you really don't leave anyone a way out! But... I'm not so easy to defeat! Bring it on... Reina!" Zephyr's body hunched slightly, as if he too was beginning to gather his strength.

"Ice Heaven Hundred Flowers Burial!" After preparations were complete, Reina swung the Hyōrinmaru in his hand, and the seawater beneath his feet surged into the sky, turning into countless shards of ice that fell from the sky.

"Hey……"

Zefa chuckled and leaped towards Reina, but while still in the air, his entire body began to slowly freeze after he came into contact with falling ice shards.

"Crackling... Crackling..."

Before Zefa could even reach Reina, he had already turned into an ice sculpture.

"Teacher!" Ayn roared in grief and anger from the lifeboat, trying to rush towards Reina, but the distance between them was too great and she was powerless to help.

"Ice Block - Tyrannosaurus Beak!" Just then, an ice bird flew straight towards Reina, preventing him from attacking the frozen Zephyr.

"Aokiji...!" Reina cleaved the ice bird in two with a single strike, his expression serious as he looked at Aokiji, who had rescued Zephyr.

"Let's thaw Zephyr first!" Aokiji said directly to his junior sister, Ain, as he brought the frozen Zephyr to the lifeboat.

"Yes, thank you, Lord Kuzan!" Ignoring the cold, Ain used her ability to make the ice on Zephyr's body recede into seawater.

"Cough cough cough... This is really embarrassing! I never thought I would be defeated by that brat!" Zefa said, coughing as he recovered.

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher. Leave the rest to me!"

After Aokiji finished speaking, he stepped onto the warship that had broken in two, as Reina had already slowly descended and was standing on the front half of the warship.

"Judging from your appearance... it seems you've been through a major battle?" Reina squinted at the three approaching warships, which bore some damage from the fighting.

"Of course!" Aokiji didn't try to hide anything and said directly, "We ambushed the Whitebeard Pirates just a few days ago!"

"Tch~ What? Now you're targeting our Whitebeard Pirates? After ambushing the Moby Dick, you're here to cause me trouble again?" Reina said disdainfully, "You should understand that you alone... can't stop me!"

"Hmph, General Kuzan isn't alone this time!" Lieutenant General Gumir stepped forward on the warship and said with a cold snort.

"Just a few small fry, do you really expect them to help you?" Reina said disdainfully, looking at the vice admirals on the warship.

"Damn it!" Lieutenant General Basteo, known as the Shark Slayer, heard Reina's words and swung his greatsword at Reina.

"when!"

Reina blocked the massive long-handled saw blade with his Hyōrinmaru, but before he could speak, several other lieutenant generals attacked simultaneously, heading straight for Reina.

"Outnumbered, outnumbered?" With a forceful push, Reina forced back Lieutenant General Bastio, then blocked the attacks of the remaining lieutenant generals one by one.

Aokiji, who hadn't made a move, couldn't help but twitch his lips after hearing Reina's words. Reina had once led the Whitebeard Pirates' captains in ganging up on him.

"What morality is there to talk about with pirates?" Vice Admiral Gumir did not stop his attack because of Reina's words; on the contrary, he attacked even more fiercely.

"Interesting!" Reina fought and retreated, but due to the sinking of the ship, there was not enough space, so Reina was quickly forced out of the ship's range by several lieutenant generals working together.

However, he did not fly into the air, but instead lightly touched the surface of the sea a few times and landed on the sea. Where he stood, the sea had completely turned into ice.

"Ice Age!" Upon seeing this, Aokiji plunged his hands into the sea, freezing the surrounding waters and creating a small ice island for the marines to stand on.

This also prevented Reina from escaping; they hadn't forgotten that Reina could command a turtle-like sea monster and a large sea king with a crocodile head.

"Hehe... Looks like I'll be underestimated if I don't show you my true skills!" Reina released Hyōrinmaru from his grasp, a flash of blue light appeared, and Hyōrinmaru instantly transformed into human form, while Reina himself deactivated Hyōrinmaru's Bankai mode.

"Reina, this is where you'll die today!" Gumir and his men said in a deep voice after surrounding Reina.

"You guys?" Reina replied dismissively.

The vice admirals present are not among the top vice admirals in the Navy, and cannot compare to Onigumo, Kasugaiyama, Momonga, and others who went to Enies Lobby to carry out the Buster Call. If it weren't for Aokiji being here, Reina alone could have wiped them all out.

"Damn it, how dare you underestimate us!" Lieutenant General Bastio brandished his long-handled saw and attacked again. Several other lieutenant generals also moved at the same time, not giving Reina a chance to defeat them one by one.

"If you want to die, I'll grant your wish! Scatter, Senbonzakura!" With a flick of his wrist, the Senbonzakura blade vanished, turning into countless petals.

"Frozen Time Capsule!" Upon seeing this, Aokiji immediately took action, freezing all the scattered petals.

"Clang clang clang...!"

"Oh!"

Although Reina was missing his weapon, he still managed to dodge Basteo's attack and land a punch on his stomach, sending him flying.

As for the other vice admirals, they were blocked by Hyōrinmaru, who had transformed into human form.

"Ice Block - Two-Spiked Spear!" To prevent Reina from continuing to pursue Lieutenant General Bastey, Aokiji personally stepped into the fray and stood in front of Reina.

"when!"

Before anyone knew it, Senbonzakura, who had transformed back into a sharp blade, blocked Aokiji's attack.

"Aokiji... I heard you gave CP9 the Buster Call? Looks like you really like meddling in other people's business!" Reina, who had blocked the two spears, said to Aokiji in front of him.

"As a naval admiral, this is my right and my duty..." Aokiji said expressionlessly.

"Then... I hope you won't regret it!" Reina tightened his grip, separating himself from Aokiji, then released Senbonzakura and softly shouted, "Senbonzakura: Kageyoshi!"
