Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Damn Navy... Prepare to die!"

The moment they saw Reina pierced by Aokiji, all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates went berserk and launched a frenzied attack, rushing towards Reina.

"Damn it...!" But at that moment, Whitebeard, carrying a naginata, finally arrived. The instant he saw Aokiji stab Reina, Whitebeard, enraged, slashed at Aokiji with his own sword.

Aokiji didn't expect Whitebeard to arrive so quickly, and didn't even have time to transform his entire body into elemental form, so he had no choice but to cross his arms and take the hit of Whitebeard's slash.

"Pfft!"

A splash of blood appeared, and the slashed Aokiji was sent flying like a cannonball.

"B-Big Brother!" Seeing Whitebeard arrive, Reina finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Quick... let's go!"

"You brat, hold on! Jozu! Take Reina and get out of here!" Whitebeard snapped off the ice spears that had pierced Reina with his bare hands and handed him over to Jozu, who had arrived shortly after.

"Joz...stop Big Brother! Now...retreat immediately...!" Reina grabbed Joz and said.

Jozu hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Whitebeard was about to continue chasing Aokiji to avenge Reyner, he still shouted, "Dad, Reyner is dying, we can't waste time here!"

Sure enough, after hearing Jozu's words, Whitebeard hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and threw a punch directly in the direction where Aokiji had been knocked away.

"Crack... Crash...!"

The space in front of Whitebeard seemed to shatter, followed by the complete destruction of the ice on the ground. The warship directly in front of Whitebeard was also smashed into pieces by his punch.

"Let's go!" After venting his anger, Whitebeard immediately protected Jozu and began to retreat, but Garp arrived at this moment and blocked Jozu and Whitebeard.

"Dad, leave this to us, you take the first mate and leave!" The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates also gathered around and blocked Whitebeard's way, urging him to leave quickly.

The remaining officers and soldiers of the Navy also gathered behind Garp, confronting the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Garp...do you really want to fight to the death?" Whitebeard stared at Garp and said in a deep voice.

Karp glanced at Reina, who was still coughing up blood, and after a moment of silence, said, "It's come to this point, we can't stop! Newgate... put Reina down, and I'll let you leave. This is my biggest concession!"

"You want me to abandon my family? That's wishful thinking! Men... charge out!" Whitebeard swung his naginata and charged straight at Garp.

"A battle is inevitable today... Everyone, for world peace and justice in our hearts! Kill!" Garp raised his arm and shouted, and all the marines raised their weapons to meet Garp, then charged towards the Whitebeard Pirates.

The two sides clashed again. Although it was not as intense as before, it was even more brutal. Pirates and marines fell at every turn, and in just a short time, the ice surface was covered in blood.

"Ice Block, Two-Spiked Spear, Barrage!" But just as the two sides were locked in fierce combat, Aokiji's voice came from behind the Whitebeard Pirates.

"It's Admiral Aokiji! That's great!"

With Aokiji's return, the Navy's morale soared.

"Don't panic! Cheer up! They're just a bunch of marines! Sink them all to the bottom of the sea!" Whitebeard squinted at Aokiji and roared.

At this moment, Aokiji had lost his original laziness, and his eyes were shining with seriousness. Although his naval uniform was tattered and there was a slash mark on his chest that was still bleeding, he was still not someone to be underestimated.

"fire punch!"

But just as Aokiji's ice spear was about to strike the Whitebeard Pirates, a flame suddenly appeared, melting all the ice.

"Phoenix Seal - Heavy Strike!" Marco, in his phoenix form, kicked Aokiji. Although Aokiji blocked Marco's claws, he was kicked down from the air by Marco.

"Dual Sword Style: Rose Dance!" Amidst the crowd, cherry blossoms began to fall, and as the petals drifted down, many Marine soldiers collapsed. It was none other than Vista, the captain of the third division of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Captain Marco!"

"Captain Ace!"

"Captain Vista!"

When the three landed in front of Whitebeard, all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates roared with excitement. Their arrival was like a shot of adrenaline for them.

"Father, we're late. How's the situation now?" Marco turned to Whitebeard and asked.

"Gurararara... Marco, go check on that kid Reina first, make sure he doesn't die!" Whitebeard was quite happy to see Marco and the other two, but he quickly thought of the seriously injured Reina, so he immediately asked Marco, who was also the ship's doctor, to check on Reina.

"The first mate...? How is he?" Ace asked anxiously, his heart tightening.

"Here!" From the crowd, Jozu, carrying Reina, walked over and handed the seriously injured Reina to Marco.

"Mr. Garp... what do we do now?" Aokiji came to Garp's side and asked.

"Wait a minute... let's observe how things develop!" Garp shook his head and said, "How's the situation on your end?"

“Magellan was severely injured by Reina and is currently unconscious. I have already sent someone to take him for treatment!” Aokiji shook his head and said.

“Mr. Garp, we can’t retreat now! We’ve finally managed to force the Whitebeard Pirates into this situation. We absolutely cannot retreat before we achieve our goal!” Onigumo stepped forward, supporting his shoulder.

Karp glanced at him but didn't say anything, seemingly waiting to see how Marco was treating Reina.

If Marco declares Reina beyond saving, he will immediately lead the navy to retreat!

Chapter 396 Spandam

While Marco was examining Reina, the Navy was also watching him closely. Once he announced Reina's death, their mission would be complete.

Ace and the other captains were even more nervous, glancing over here every now and then, fearing that Marco would shake his head and tell them that Reina was no good.

"Phew~ It's nothing, just exhaustion and serious injury, not a big problem!" After the check-up, Marco looked up and said to Whitebeard.

Upon hearing Marco's test results, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates cheered.

Meanwhile, the navy's expression turned serious.

"Mr. Garp..."

Aokiji looked at Garp, who sighed and nodded, saying, "There's no other way now... All troops, listen to my command... Attack!"

"Oh~~~"

All the marines raised their weapons and charged towards the Whitebeard Pirates.

"My men... show them... what the world's number one pirate crew is all about!" Whitebeard shouted, brandishing his naginata.

"Whoa~~~" The members of the Whitebeard Pirates also rushed towards the Marines.

War broke out again.

"Damn it... I knew it... I knew it... Reina and the Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't be so easy to take down!" Spandam cursed as he walked on the ice, limping towards a safe place to hide.

He was safely hiding inside the warship, but when the enraged Whitebeard attacked Aokiji, he smashed the warship he was hiding in to pieces. If he hadn't been lucky, he wouldn't have just suffered a leg injury, but would have been completely killed.

"Sir, what do we do now? All the warships are frozen, and we can't leave at all. That's the battlefield; if we go there, we'll definitely be wiped out!" A World Government official next to Spandam asked in a low voice.

The navy personnel responsible for protecting him had already gone to participate in the war, so apart from a few World Government personnel, he no longer had any protective forces around him.

"No! We absolutely can't go there!" Spandam said, shaking his head in fear.

He witnessed Reina fighting Aokiji and Magellan. Magellan, who was like a monster in his eyes, was beaten to the point of being unconscious by Reina, and Aokiji, one of the three major forces of the Navy and the man standing at the top of this world, was also cleaved away by Whitebeard with a single slash.

At this moment, he was filled with fear of the Whitebeard Pirates and only wanted to stay far away from them, not wanting to get close to them at all.

"Sir...look...there's a ship over there!" At this moment, a World Government official pointed to the rear of the Whitebeard Pirates not far away and said.

"Huh~ that's... the Whitebeard Pirates' ship!? No, no... if we go over there and get discovered, it'll be terrible!" Spandam quickly shook his head and said.

What they discovered was the pirate ship piloted by Marco and his crew. Because they joined the battle last, their pirate ship was not frozen.

"But sir... we've been here all along... it's even more dangerous! The Navy is currently fighting them. If we just sneak over, there won't be any problems!" the World Government official said anxiously.

They were afraid here too. As members of the World Government, they were usually tyrannical and no one dared to mess with them, but here... even if they died, it would be for nothing.

So, like Spandam, they were eager to leave.

Furthermore, if they were to attempt to rob the Whitebeard Pirates' ship, they wouldn't be in much danger. Even if the Whitebeard Pirates discovered them, they could simply escape. Right now, the Whitebeard Pirates are fighting the Marines, and no one will bother with small fry like them.

As for Spandam himself... he has nothing to do with them. Even if he is targeted by pirates, it is Spandam's own business and has nothing to do with them.

So, after their persuasion, Spandam finally agreed to join them in robbing the pirate ship.

After making their way to the pirate captain's meeting without any major incidents, the group was filled with smug satisfaction, knowing they would soon be leaving this wretched place.

"Wait, there are people ahead!" Just as they were about to approach the pirate ship, they suddenly discovered that several members of the Whitebeard Pirates were gathered there.

"Are they the men who stayed behind to watch the ship? You guys... go and kill them!" Spandam exclaimed in surprise, then whispered.

"Sir...it seems...it seems to be the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates...Reina is there!" The person who seemed to have been secretly scouting returned and said.

"What? How could we run into that monster... Let's run!" Spandam's legs went weak with fear when he heard it was Reina.

"Don't worry, sir! He's seriously injured and unconscious. If we launch a surprise attack... we might still have a chance!" The scout who had gone out to investigate grabbed Spandine and said:

"If we really manage to take down the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates... then you'll become a hero! Besides, the pirate ship is right in front of us. If we take down Reina, we can set sail, and then even the Whitebeard Pirates won't be able to do anything to us!"

Spandam was immediately swayed by his subordinate's words. He was currently retired from the World Government and had no power whatsoever.

However, if Reina is killed... he will likely be given a new position by the World Government, and his only child died at Reina's hands.

"Alright! How confident are you?!" Spandam asked through gritted teeth.

"We should be fine in a surprise attack!" the subordinates said after exchanging glances.

"Alright, let's get started!"

Upon receiving Spandam's orders, the men drew their pistols and aimed them at several members of the Whitebeard Pirates from the shadows.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With several gunshots, the Whitebeard Pirates members who were guarding Reina fell to the ground one after another.

"Hahaha... Not bad! Well done!" Spandam jumped out and laughed triumphantly as soon as the last barrier protecting Reyner disappeared.

"Hehehe... What Akame! What Whitebeard Pirates' vice-captain! He's still going to die at the hands of Lord Spandine!" Spandine, holding a pistol, walked towards Reina, who was lying there, and kicked the doctor who was lying next to Reina away.

Just as Spandane was about to make his move, Reina suddenly opened his eyes.

"Thump!" Spandam was so startled that he fell to the ground with a thud. Seeing Reyner slowly struggling to sit up, he immediately shouted, "Kill him! Kill him!"

Upon hearing this, several of his World Government subordinates raised their pistols, intending to shoot Reina.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Pfft!"

As the gunshots rang out, Reina, while avoiding vital organs, directly killed several World Government personnel.

"You...you don't come any closer..." Spandam, who was sitting on the ground, was so frightened that he almost cried when he saw Reyna slowly approaching him with a longsword.

At this time, Reina's condition was also quite bad. After Marco's treatment, his body had finally improved and he had regained consciousness. However, due to the severity of his injuries and the great depletion of his physical strength, he was resting here. Unexpectedly, he encountered Spandam coming to steal the ship.

Although he had just swiftly killed several World Government members, he had also been shot several times, and the loss of blood had made him even weaker.
