Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Shoot! Don't let him get away!"

"Quick, over here! He's running this way!"

Reina's wandering around caused chaos throughout the naval base.

"That bastard, I'll catch him myself!" Major General Franco roared angrily, looking at the chaotic scene at the branch base.

"What a waste of my 16 million Berries! Next time I should let those bounty hunters collect their bounties first, and then I'll rob them of their Berries! Hmm... that's it, I really am a genius!" Hiding in the corner, Reina watched the Marines running around outside, but he was secretly plotting his get-rich-quick scheme.

"Here! Come quick!" A passing naval soldier suddenly spotted Reina hiding in a corner and shouted.

"Damn it, we've been discovered so quickly?" With no other option, Reina had to continue his escape.

"Damn it! I'll make you pay! How dare you look down on our branch like that!" Rear Admiral Franco was furious. If word got out that Reina had brought pirates to collect his bounty and caused a ruckus at the Marine branch, he would lose all face as the base commander.

Unfortunately, the Navy failed to capture Reina, who escaped successfully. Because so many people witnessed the incident, it was impossible to hide it, leaving Rear Admiral Franco with no choice but to report it to headquarters.

When Reina returned to the hotel, Mischina and his daughter had already woken up and were sitting in the hotel lobby listening to the other guests outside recounting the major events that had just occurred at the naval base.

"I heard that the pirate Akame Reina is a cannibalistic demon who goes mad if he doesn't eat a few girls every day. I heard that after he came to our town, he was planning to prey on the girls in town, but he was seen by the soldiers patrolling the streets, which is why he caused such a commotion!"

"That's right, that's right! I heard that his eyes became so bloodshot because he had been drinking the blood of young girls for a long time!"

When Reina heard the travelers' nonsense, his face darkened, especially since Olga was listening intently, seemingly very interested.

"Hey~ I said... have you guys ever seen Akame Reina? Why are you talking nonsense here?" Reina couldn't stand it anymore and went over to interrupt the travelers' gossip.

"Hey... Reina, do you really drink the blood of beautiful girls every day?" Olga ran to Reina's side as soon as she saw him and asked in a low voice.

Reina glanced at Olga and said, "Is it really possible that you don't know?"

"Hehehe... By the way, why did you go to the naval base? Did you get spotted by the navy by accident?" Olga asked curiously.

Reina's face darkened; he didn't want to answer her at all, otherwise he was afraid he would be ridiculed for a long time.

“Now that you’re all awake, let’s get going! I’ve got everything ready!” Reina said to Mischna Asie, ignoring Olga’s questions.

“Alright! Let’s set off then!” Mischina Asie nodded and said.

So the three of them went straight to the port and boarded the small sailboat that Reina had bought. The boat wasn't big, even smaller than Luffy's Going Merry, but since there were only three of them plus two water lizards, it wasn't too small.

Meanwhile, at Marineford, the naval headquarters.

Zephyr, who had just been promoted to general, was busy processing documents in his office.

The New World has been quite turbulent lately, with the newly emerged Whitebeard Pirates, Flying Pirates, Beasts Pirates, and Big Mom Pirates all being formidable opponents.

Garp doesn't care about anything except chasing Roger all over the world, while Sengoku has to chase the Whitebeard Pirates and prevent the Flying Pirates from causing trouble everywhere. He's almost too busy to handle everything.

"Huh~ This is... That kid really wasn't so easy to kill! I just didn't expect him to appear here!" Zephyr said softly, holding a document on the table.

The document above was clearly a document sent by Major General Franco to headquarters, proposing to increase the bounty on Akame Reina.

After thinking for a moment, Zefa simply stamped the mark with "agree".

"Knock knock knock... Lord Zephyr, Admiral Kong requests your presence in his office!" At this moment, a naval soldier suddenly entered, saluted Zephyr, and said.

Zefa nodded and got up to go to the marshal's office.

"Zeff, I'm sorry to call you over at this time, but a group of powerful pirates have recently emerged in the New World. Garp and Sengoku are already struggling to cope, so I have no choice but to ask you for help!" Admiral Kong said directly, getting straight to the point.

"Marshal, rest assured, leave it to me!" Zefa nodded, got up, and left.

Upon arriving at the port, his warships were already prepared for deployment, awaiting Zefa's orders.

“Let’s set our target here!” Zephyr hesitated for a moment before choosing a small island as our target.

"Yes, sir!" The subordinate immediately saluted and instructed the navigator to plan the route.

"Sir, why did we choose this place? Recently, both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Flying Pirates have been quite active. Aren't we going over there?" the lieutenant Karadan asked, puzzled.

“No! We’re going here!” Zephyr shook his head and said, “Neither Whitebeard Edward Newgate nor the Flying Pirate Shiki are easy to capture! But here, there is someone who is a perfect candidate in terms of both identity and strength. If we can capture him, it will be a great victory for us!”

Karadan stared at a small island on the map, puzzled. He couldn't understand if there was some important mission there.

Zefa smiled and looked into the distance, offering no explanation to Karadan.

Meanwhile, Reina, who had already set sail, hoisted the Whitebeard Pirates' flag on his ship. Unexpectedly, the system assumed that his ship was also a Whitebeard Pirates' ship.

So at this point, he finally had the attendance tracking function restored and could start working again.

"Rena... I'm so bored! When are we going to the next island?" Olga asked Rena listlessly, slumped on the deck.

"Bored? If you're bored, go clean up for me! You bastard!" Reina rolled his eyes as he trained hard, sweating profusely.

It wasn't that he was deliberately targeting Olga; it was just that the child, apart from the initial excitement and curiosity upon boarding the ship, spent the rest of the time complaining of boredom.

Mischna Asie, on the other hand, helped take the helm, which greatly reduced Reina's burden.

Having been a scientist before, he was used to this kind of monotonous life, so he didn't find sailing so boring.

"Reina~~ Were you guys this bored when you were pirates?" Olga shouted, rolling around on the deck.

“Of course not, there’s no one on the ship right now, just the three of us. Of course you’d be bored! If there were more people, we could have a party, and everyone could drink and sing together and have a lot of fun!” Reina wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

"Hey? How about we have a banquet too?" Olga sat up abruptly and said happily.

“Why would the three of us have a banquet? If you’re bored, go fishing! If you catch a big fish, I’ll make you grilled fish for dinner!” Reina pointed to the sea and said.

"Hey? Grilled fish? That's great! Watch me catch a super, invincible, huge, and delicious fish!" Upon hearing this, Olga immediately ran back to the cabin, grabbed her fishing rod, and started fishing.

“I’m sorry, Olga, for causing you trouble!” Mischna Asie said to Reina with a smile.

“It’s alright. Sailing is inherently boring. With so few of us, she’ll find it even more boring!” Reina shook his head and said.

In fact, Reina's target has always been Mischna Assie. Compared to Olga, her father is more talented and can research pure gold on his own, which proves that Mischna Assie's abilities are not bad.

Even the future Whitebeard Pirates don't have such a scientist, so Reina hopes to recruit such talent for the Whitebeard Pirates.

Never underestimate the scientists of this world. Whether it's Vegapunk and M. Caesar Clown of the Navy, or the Vinsmoke family of Germa 66, they have all shown the world that scientists can be incredibly powerful.

In the evening, Reina grilled a small fish, no bigger than the palm of his hand, and looked at Olga, who looked utterly dejected, and said, "This is the super, invincible, huge, and delicious fish you were talking about?"

"Damn Reina... Fishing is really hard! Not everyone can catch fish, I'm already pretty good at it!" Olga said through gritted teeth.

"Is that so?" Reina said with a slight smile.

Chapter 40 News of Reina

"Dad...look!!" Marco shouted excitedly as he ran toward Newgate with a newspaper in hand.

"Marco? What's wrong with him? He's usually so composed!" A pirate with a red pirate belt around his waist, a yellow scarf on his head, messy brown hair, and a mustache pointed at Marco, who had just run past, and asked Vista beside him.

Vista shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe he's discovered some incredible news!"

"Gurararara... What a delightful day, my little ones, let's start the feast!" Soon, they heard the white-bearded man laughing as he announced the start of the feast.

"Dad, what's making you so happy?" Vista asked with a smile.

They now truly regard Whitebeard as their father, and the crew members on the ship have a very good relationship.

"Gurarararar... See? I knew that kid wouldn't be taken down so easily!" Whitebeard tossed the newspaper Marco had given him to Vista and laughed as he spoke.

Vista took the newspaper, and after reading the news, he laughed heartily and said, "This is truly a momentous event worthy of a banquet! Joz... come and see, there's news about Reina!"

Since Reina went missing, Marco and Joz have been the most worried about him, since the three of them went into battle together, but only the two of them came back.

Although it wasn't their fault, they felt they had abandoned their companions and run away alone! This caused them immense suffering.

Hearing Vista's voice, Jozu, who was training, slowly walked over and asked, "Any news about the first mate? Was he captured by the Navy?"

“See for yourself!” Vista handed the newspaper to Joz and said with a smile.

"Huh? The first mate caused a ruckus at the naval branch base? How is that possible?" Jozu said in disbelief after reading the news in the newspaper.

He knew perfectly well that Reina wasn't the type to act recklessly.

"Gulp gulp gulp... That kid is no peaceful fellow, but since he's alright, he'll probably be back soon! Glug glug... That brat, he doesn't even know how to share such good stuff with his big brother. Wait until he gets back, and I'll teach him a lesson!" Newgate said happily, taking several big gulps from a gourd.

If Reiner were here, he would recognize it as his gourd, which could hold ten times its volume of liquor, though it is now Newgate's prized possession.

"First mate? Besta, do we have a first mate on board?" Laco asked curiously.

Lacjo didn't say a word while they were talking because he had no idea who they were talking about.

“Yes! Akame Reina! A pirate with a bounty of 80 million, very powerful. He stayed behind to fight Zephyr of the Navy to cover our escape, but he fell into the sea and disappeared!” Vista nodded and said.

Along with the newspaper came Reyner's latest bounty poster. Because of the disturbance at the naval branch base, his bounty had been increased to eighty million.

"Zeff? You don't mean Black Arm Zeff who was recently promoted to Admiral, do you? Is our first mate a great pirate who can fight Zeff?" Laco asked in surprise.

“That guy’s strength is not bad, but there is still a considerable gap between him and a Marine Admiral. However, if he wants to escape, Zephyr won’t be able to stop him!” Marco said to Laco with narrowed eyes.

“Really? I’m really looking forward to seeing him!” Lacjo said with a smile.

"No...you wouldn't think that way, believe me! If you don't believe me, ask Joz and see if he wants Reina to come back right now!"

Joz, standing to the side, couldn't help but shiver and said, "Well... I think things are fine as they are now. The first mate doesn't need to rush back!"

He thought back to the time when he was dominated by Reina; it was like hell.

Just as the Whitebeard Pirates were having a joyous banquet, the Roger Pirates spotted them sailing nearby.

“Captain, they don’t seem to have spotted us. Shall we pull off a heist?” Spark Jabba said to Roger with a sly grin.

"Oh? It's Newgate? They've let their guard down like this? In that case, let's teach them a lesson! Men... rob them of all their treasure!" Roger said with a loud laugh.

So the Oro Jackson charged straight at the Whitebeard Pirates' ship.

"Roger... Today is a happy day, so I won't fight you! How about it? Dare to come over and have a drink? We're having a feast!" Edward Newgate shouted at Roger, holding up his gourd and laughing.

"What's got you so excited? If it weren't for some good wine... I would have emptied your ship of all its treasure! Newgate!" Roger replied, laughing just as loudly.

Before long, the two pirate ships docked side by side, and the two groups of pirates happily sang and drank together.

"Hahahaha... Newgate, this wine is good, give me some!" Roger's face was flushed, and he was holding a wine glass, grinning mischievously at Whitebeard.

“That won’t do! I only have this much wine right now. I’ll have to wait until that kid Reina comes back in a while. Only he knows how to brew this wine!” Whitebeard shook his head and said.

“Rayner?” Roger was taken aback, then looked around and asked, “If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten. Isn’t he the kid from the Rocks’ ship? I didn’t expect him to be on your ship! Why haven’t I seen him all this time?”

The conversation between the two captains caused the surrounding pirates to stop what they were doing and listen to them.

"Gurararara... That kid was defeated by Zephyr not long ago, and then fell into the sea and was swept away by the currents somewhere!" Whitebeard said with a loud laugh, "We only met you for the first time after he disappeared, so naturally you haven't seen him!"

"What? He can already fight a Marine Admiral?" Shanks, who was listening to Whitebeard chatting with his captain, clenched his fist and asked with a look of resentment.
