Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Seemingly sensing something, Zoro, who was sleeping, opened one eye, glanced at Robin's nameplate, then closed his eye again and continued sleeping.

He knew about Robin's trump card, so Robin would definitely be worried after learning from Moria that the Navy was targeting the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, the Straw Hat Pirates are not yet qualified to participate in the battle between Whitebeard and the Navy; their strength is still too weak.

"Hey... Nami... let's play One Piece Monopoly together!" Luffy, holding a game board, called out to Nami, who was chatting with Robin.

Nowadays, board games like Monopoly and Ludo, which are popular among pirates, are no longer exclusive to the Whitebeard Pirates. Through the Whitebeard Pirates' grand banquet, these two board games have spread throughout the world and received countless accolades. A pirate ship without these two board games is no longer a proper pirate ship.

"Nami~~ Hurry up, hurry up!!" Usopp and Chopper, who were next to Luffy, also joined in the commotion.

"Alright~ Let's make this clear first! The loser will each receive 100,000 Berries!" Luffy and his crew were being too noisy, so Nami had no choice but to stand up and say this.

However, seeing that Robin didn't seem to be interested in joining, she paused for a moment and asked, "Robin, aren't you coming along?"

Robin smiled and shook her head. This board game was invented by her father, and she had already learned it long ago, and was even very good at it.

In Reina's words, if she participated in the Whitebeard Pirates' annual board game tournament, she would definitely be a top contender for the championship.

In the evening, when Sanji called his crew to the restaurant for dinner, he found that Luffy, Brook, and the others, who were usually the most boisterous, were unusually quiet.

"What's wrong with you guys? You seem to have been hit by something..." Sanji asked, somewhat surprised.

"Those guys owe Nami millions of Berries, they'll probably never be able to pay it back in this lifetime!" Zoro said with a sneer.

"Hahahaha... From now on, you lot are my slaves!" Nami said triumphantly.

"Hi~~~ Nami-san~~ I'll be your slave for life~~" Sanji instantly changed his style and became Nami's lapdog.

"It's not fair... Nami... We all lost to Robin, not to you!" Usopp said, still somewhat unwilling.

"So what? It was agreed from the beginning that Robin and I are on the same team! If you lose to her, you lose to me!" Nami replied, looking like she was being very reasonable.

Usopp, arguing his case, naturally wouldn't give up, while Luffy and Chopper had already started stuffing food into their mouths. Beli wasn't important to them; food was more important.

Looking at the restaurant that had become noisy again, Robin smiled slightly, and his worries about his father seemed to have lessened considerably.

Let's turn our attention back to the battlefield between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines.

The battlefield was now divided into three areas. On the outermost edge, Whitebeard and Jozu were fighting Garp and Zephyr. Although the pace of the battle was not fast, every move was incredibly powerful, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. The sky was torn apart, and the sea was surging, as if the end of the world had come.

Not far from them was a large expanse of frozen sea. The Navy's elite forces, led by three Vice Admirals—Onigumo, Momonga, and Kasakatsuzan—were fighting against several division commanders and most of the Whitebeard Pirates' combat squads.

The battles here weren't flashy or earth-shattering, but they were the most brutal, with people falling every second, their blood staining the pristine ice red.

Behind the ice block was a fleet of naval warships. Here, Reina, with all his firepower, was engaged in a fierce battle with Aokiji and Magellan. The battle here was the most intense, with neither side holding back.

"Boom boom boom~~~"

Another naval warship could not withstand the battle between the three of them and began to slowly sink to the bottom of the sea.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry... It's too dangerous here, evacuate immediately! Let's go!" Spandam, who was hiding in the cabin watching the battle outside, kept urging the naval officer beside him to take him away from here.

He had already replaced one of the warships, but it seemed that Reina was doing it on purpose. Wherever he fled, Reina would leave the warship there. As a result, two of the naval warships were destroyed, and Spandam was terrified and kept running away.

"Damn it! Ice Age!" Seeing the warships being destroyed again, Aokiji knew he couldn't let this continue. So he activated his ultimate move, freezing not only the surrounding sea but also all the warships.

"Poison - Nine-Headed Dragon!" Magellan then conjured a nine-headed dragon from venom and continuously spat venom at Reina.

Reina, who was about to head to the next warship, had no choice but to retreat a bit to avoid Magellan's venom.

By this time, he had exhausted a great deal of his energy and had multiple wounds on his body.

However, Aokiji and Magellan didn't have it easy either, especially Magellan, who was constantly being targeted and beaten by Reina. Sometimes, he even risked getting injured himself to drag Reina down with him.

“Magellan…” Reina gasped for breath, staring at Magellan.

Whenever he was about to attack Magellan, Aokiji would come and interrupt him, but he would usually keep moving around. Although the two had never cooperated, Aokiji was better at teamwork than Garp, so Reina felt that dealing with these two was more tiring than dealing with Garp and Magellan.

"Reina... after today... there will be no more Whitebeard Pirates!" Magellan seemed to sense Reina's struggle, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face as he spoke.

"You dare to talk such big words...?" Reina's eyes narrowed, he took a deep breath, and began to use Life Return to convert the energy in his body.

However, the conversion speed and energy were not much. Although he had trained very hard during this period, the results were not satisfactory. The speed of energy conversion in battle did not increase much, but the speed of conversion into physical strength after eating food increased a lot.

But no one will give him time to eat during a battle!

"My lord, I'm running out of stamina. If we continue the fusion battle... it will be disadvantageous for me!" Reina thought to himself.

"I don't want to either, but if I'm not in this state, it's basically impossible to defeat the two of them!" Reina replied helplessly in his heart.

“Then let’s try one more time. If that doesn’t work… we’ll have to separate. Otherwise, it will be bad if you exhaust yourself too much!” Hyōrinmaru said immediately upon hearing this.

“Alright! This time I’ll use my Sharingan and work with you to kill that bastard Magellan!” Reina said, pursing his lips.

"Okay!" Hyōrinmaru responded and immediately began to charge up his power.

"Watch out!" Aokiji came to Magellan's side. He sensed a powerful icy force, which meant that Reina was about to launch a full-scale attack!

"Aokiji... if I can't dodge Reina's killing move... don't worry about me, just kill him!" Magellan took a deep breath and said to Aokiji beside him.

"I understand!" Aokiji nodded, knowing that things had reached a critical point.

"Hyōrinmaru... Let's go!" Reina, wielding Hyōrinmaru, charged directly towards Magellan.

"Deadly Poison - Hell's Judgment!" Without saying a word, Magellan's body began to surge with venom, as if his body were a bottomless pit, constantly releasing venom.

"Ice Block - Giant Tyrannosaurus Beak!" Aokiji also began to gather the surrounding cold air, forming a giant ice bird, ready to attack Reina at any moment.

"Ice Burial of a Hundred Flowers!" The icy blue light in Reina's left eye shone brightly, and a huge aura of ice shot into the sky, causing the surrounding temperature to drop rapidly, as if it had the power to freeze everything.

"Kill!" Aokiji pointed at Reina, and the giant ice bird flew straight towards Reina.

"Rena... make your final farewell! Accept the judgment of justice!" Venom coalesced into a gigantic giant, its left hand holding a shield, while its right hand transformed into a dragon, charging straight at Rena.

"Want to take my life... let's see if you have the ability! Annihilation Scenery - Thousand Cherry Blossom Scenery!" Reina, flapping his icy wings in the air, charged directly at Magellan. The Thousand Cherry Blossoms in his right hand disappeared and transformed into countless blades that enveloped Magellan. At the same time, Aokiji's ice bird was also being frantically cut by countless petal blades.

"You actually think you can take on two opponents at a time like this? How naive!" Aokiji stepped forward and disappeared from his spot.

Reina ignored Aokiji, because Magellan's poison dragon had begun to freeze and was showing signs of spreading towards his body.

Chapter 395 Reinforcements

"What's wrong with that brat?" Sensing the intense energy fluctuations coming from Reina's side, Whitebeard and Garp, who were in the middle of their battle, couldn't help but stop fighting and look over there at the same time.

Garp hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sengoku brought Magellan over!"

"What? Aren't you afraid of something terrible happening? That kid goes berserk whenever he sees Magellan! Are you really planning to start a war with us here?" Whitebeard was taken aback, then asked in surprise.

“He’s too dangerous… Even if it means going to war with you, you must eliminate him… Newgate!” Karp sighed and said.

"You guys are really crazy! But... I won't let you succeed so easily!" Whitebeard's eyes narrowed, and the naginata in his hand began to gather energy. Then he slashed at Garp with the naginata.

"Are you crazy..." Garp was shocked when he saw Whitebeard's actions and immediately raised his fist to resist, but because he was a step too slow, he was knocked away by Whitebeard's slash.

Meanwhile, Jozu, who was fighting Zephyr, took a deep look at Zephyr, then abandoned him and followed Whitebeard toward Reyner.

Zephyr chuckled and followed Joz at a leisurely pace, catching up as well.

Garp only surfaced after they had all left.

"Damn it!" Garp slapped the surface of the sea and jumped out of the water. Standing on the deck of the warship, he watched Whitebeard rushing towards Reina. He took off his wet coat and chased after him.

Meanwhile, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, seeing Whitebeard charging towards them, desperately tried to clear a path for him. Even though the Navy's counterattack was fierce, they still couldn't stop Whitebeard.

However, just as Whitebeard charged toward Reyner, Aokiji cut off the gradually freezing venom beforehand, preventing Reyner from using the venom to freeze Magellan.

Magellan did not retrieve the severed venom; instead, he took the opportunity to send it all rushing toward Reina.

At this moment, Reina used Hyōrinmaru and Senbonzakura's Bankai in succession, as well as the Sharingan's eye techniques. Unable to dodge for a while, he had no choice but to use the ice wings on his back to protect himself.

However, after the icy wings came into contact with the venom, they were slowly corroded away by the venom.

After using his ice wings to deflect a wave of venom, Reina quickly retreated. At that moment, several ice flowers behind him shattered instantly, and Hyōrinmaru on his left hand also broke free of his fusion state, allowing him to exit Bankai mode.

"Master!" Hyōrinmaru called out with some concern, supporting Reina, who was exhausted.

At this moment, Reina had not only exited the Bankai mode, but his Sharingan had also been deactivated, leaving him extremely weak.

"Hahaha... Reina...I told you..."

"Pfft!"

Seeing Reina's weakened state, Magellan laughed triumphantly, but before he could finish speaking, he seemed to have been struck by something, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

"How...is this...possible?" As Magellan fell, the venom that continued to attack seemed to lose its life and dissipated directly on the ice.

"Hmph! Idiot!" Reina said with a hint of disdain.

Actually, when he used Senbonzakura's Bankai, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, he also used his right eye to pause time, so as to ensure that Magellan would definitely be hit.

It was precisely because he used multiple techniques at the same time that he consumed too much energy in an instant, which led to his current exhaustion.

"As expected of the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, you still managed to succeed even under these circumstances... But you've reached your limit, haven't you?" Aokiji took a deep breath, not having time to check Magellan's injuries. With a wave of his hand, countless ice spears appeared around him and then shot directly towards Reina.

"Clang clang clang..."

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Despite Hyōrinmaru's best efforts to block, several ice spears still managed to break through his defenses and strike Reina directly, as they came from all directions.

"My lord!" When Hyōrinmaru saw Reina being hit, he swung his longsword and cut several ice spears in half. Then, he picked up Reina and tried to escape.

However, Aokiji was clearly not going to let him escape, and while chasing after him, he kept creating more ice spears.

"Pfft...My...Lord!"

Hyōrinmaru, who was fleeing, was hit by Aokiji and turned into a blue light, falling to the ground in the form of a Zanpakutō. Reina, whom he was holding, also fell onto the ice.

"Huff~ Huff~ Huff~ Hyōrinmaru..." Reina struggled to get up slowly from the ground and picked up Hyōrinmaru from the ground.

"Red-eyed Reina... I represent the Navy and justice, and now I execute you!" Aokiji, wielding an ice spear, approached Reina and said this.

"Hehehe... You want to kill me? Not so easy... Life Return... Convert it for me!" At this moment, Reina could only rely on Life Return to convert his stamina, otherwise he would really die here.

"Life returned?" Aokiji's expression changed, and he thrust the ice spear in his hand directly at Reina.

As a naval admiral, he naturally knew what kind of move "Life Return" was, so he did not intend to give Reina any chance to retaliate.

"Pfft!"

Aokiji's ice spear pierced through Reina's body, and blood flowed from the corner of Reina's mouth. In the end, his life return was not instantly restored.

"Rayner!!"

"First mate!"
