Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Ever since he was defeated by Reiner last time, he wanted to get revenge. However, when he encountered the Whitebeard Pirates last time, he did not find Reiner and thought that the rumor that Reiner had joined the Whitebeard Pirates was just a rumor. He did not expect that there was such a thing behind it.

"Oh? Shanks, you don't know Reina, do you?" Marco asked in surprise.

“Yes! I was defeated by him before!” Shanks nodded and replied.

Marco and the others exchanged bewildered glances. Reina had been on board when they boarded, and they were completely unaware of what had happened before.

While the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates were having a banquet together, Reina was not on his way to them as Whitebeard had expected.

On the contrary, he was heading towards Fishman Island.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

On the deck of a small sailboat flying the Whitebeard Pirates' flag, Reina was diligently practicing his physical skills.

"Rena~ Rena~ Look, I've found an island!" Olga shouted excitedly to Rena.

Reina wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up, and sure enough, he could vaguely see a small black dot in front of him.

“You have such a sharp eye! Let me tell you first! I’ve already used up all the Berries I had to buy this little boat. Once we get to the island, we won’t have any money for a hotel, so we’ll have to stay on the boat!” Reina said to the excited Olga.

"Really, there's absolutely nothing left?" Olga asked, her face darkening, clearly unwilling to give up.

She wants to buy a lot more things! She didn't know sailing was so boring before, but now that she does, she definitely wants to buy more things to prepare.

“There really aren’t any left, but you can try after you get to the island. If you’re lucky enough to encounter a bounty hunter, I can play the role of a bounty hunter for a bit, but you and Dr. Assie will have to go and collect the bounty first!” Reina nodded and said.

"Why do I have to go with Father? Can't you go by yourself?" Olga asked in surprise.

“Because… I’m also a bounty hunter! If I go to the Navy branch to collect the bounty, the Navy will find out, which will cause a commotion and I won’t be able to collect the bounty!” Reina replied calmly.

"..." Olga stared at Reina for a long time before asking, "Was that the reason you caused a commotion in the naval forces last time?"

Reina silently turned away, completely ignoring Olga.

"Pfft, hahaha... Hey! Reina, are you an idiot? A pirate with a bounty on his head, you actually dare to swagger to the naval base to collect your bounty? Why don't you just capture yourself and exchange it for the bounty? This is hilarious... Pfft, hahaha..." Olga laughed so hard she was clutching her stomach, rolling around on the deck as if she had heard the funniest joke of the century.

Reina remained silent with a dark expression. He had indeed made a mistake back then, no... he should say he made a mistake just now, he shouldn't have let it slip.

As their small sailboat approached the island, they discovered that thick smoke was billowing from it, as if a war had just taken place.

"What...what's going on?" Olga had never encountered this situation before, and she was puzzled.

Dr. Assie and Reyna stood silently at the bow of the ship without answering, because they knew very well what these words meant.

“Could it be…?” Olga suddenly remembered something; she seemed to recall seeing a similar scene before.

“They must have just been robbed by pirates…” Reina sighed softly.

Neither Assie nor Olga spoke; they simply waited quietly for the small boat to dock.

“Let’s go, let’s go see if we can help!” Reina said as he disembarked after the boat reached the shore.

"I...I won't go!" Olga, who is usually very carefree, was somewhat afraid and did not follow Reina off the ship.

Reina knew she just didn't want to see the island's miserable state, as it would remind her of the time her mother was killed by pirates.

“Alright then! Dr. Assie, you and Olga wait for me on the ship, I’ll go check it out! Be careful, those pirates might not have left yet! If anything happens, send out a signal flare immediately, I won’t go too far!” Reina nodded and said.

Although no pirate ships were found in the port, it's possible that the pirates didn't land from this direction. Their pirate ships are most likely elsewhere, so it's better to be cautious.

"You should also be careful. This island was just attacked by pirates. If you go there... you might be misunderstood!" Dr. Asie nodded and said.

Chapter 41 The Angry Reina

When Reina landed on the island, he saw only ruins; many buildings had been destroyed, and the ground was littered with the bodies of ordinary residents.

"Damn it..." Even as a pirate, Reina was furious at the sight.

Just as Reina was about to check if there were any survivors, he suddenly heard some faint sounds not far away. Without thinking, he immediately went to check.

Turning the corner, Reina found a woman lying in a pool of blood, still struggling to crawl into the house, seemingly muttering something.

"Child...child...child...save...save..." Reina heard the woman's words as he approached, checked her injuries, shook his head, and went straight into the house.

However, he didn't find any children in the room. Instead, he saw a man lying in a pool of blood. There were signs of a struggle in the room, so Reina guessed that their child had probably been kidnapped by pirates.

Seeing this, Reina's face darkened. These pirates were nothing short of executioners. Not only did they kill and rob, but they didn't even spare the children. He guessed that the pirates had probably kidnapped all the children in the town and planned to sell them.

Judging from the situation in the town, the pirates must have left not long ago. Reina went straight to the top of the tallest building in town and sure enough, he saw the pirate ship on the other side of the island. However, they seemed to be preparing to set sail and leave.

After jumping off the roof, Reina immediately returned to his boat.

“Let’s go around the island and catch up! These bastards… we can’t let them get away so easily!” Reina told the Misch father and daughter about their discovery in the town, and then said in a deep voice.

Without saying a word, Assie set sail, intending to bypass the island and pursue the pirates, as Reina had suggested.

Olga then pulled Elizabeth over and made her obey Reina's command to intercept the pirates.

"Thanks, Olga! Elizabeth, let's go!" Reina rode on Elizabeth's back and took the lead along the coast.

He had tried to subdue Chabes on the previous island, but failed. Although he could conquer them by force, Reina knew that it wouldn't be very effective. These aquatic lizards were quite intelligent, and they could escape at any time unless they were truly submissive.

So if it weren't for Olga's orders, Reiner would have been unable to command Elizabeth at all.

With Elizabeth's help, Reina quickly approached the group of pirates, while Mischi and her father followed in their pirate ship.

Their pirate ship had just left when a naval warship approached the island.

"Sir, we've spotted the Whitebeard Pirates' flag ahead, but it doesn't seem to be their ship!" a Marine soldier reported to Zephyr, who was standing at the bow of the ship.

"That's right, it's them! Follow them!" Zefa grinned and shouted, "Kid, you can't escape!"

"Sir, the island ahead seems to have been looted. Shall we land?" Just when Zefa thought he would capture Reina soon, a soldier suddenly came to report.

"Looting? Did he do it? That's not like him at all!" Zefa was a little puzzled. According to Reina's style, he shouldn't have looted the town. However, he ordered his men to go down to the island to check the situation. After all, Reina's small triangular sailboat couldn't outrun a naval warship. Once he found it, Reina would have no chance of escaping.

However, when the navy arrived at the island and saw the devastation there, Zephyr's face darkened.

"Leave half the men behind to check if there are any survivors. The rest of you, follow me and give chase!" Zefa shouted.

"Yes!" The naval soldiers were furious at the sight of the horrific scene before them, wishing they could catch up with the pirates immediately and execute them on the spot.

Meanwhile, Reina, riding Elizabeth, finally caught up with the pirates shortly after they set off.

"You bunch of bastards...you run really fast!" Reina arrived at the bottom of the pirate ship, but instead of rushing to board, he planned to secretly find out where the children who had been captured by the pirates were.

Otherwise, if a fight breaks out and the pirates take the children hostage, it will be troublesome.

After Reina secretly boarded the ship, he realized that he had overestimated these guys. They had just plundered a small town and were celebrating with a banquet in the cabin.

Quietly sneaking into the bottom of the ship's hold, Reina discovered the children who had been taken away; most of them were crying loudly out of fear.

"Shh~~ Don't cry or talk. I'm here to save you. Keep your voices down and follow me!" Reina broke down the cell door and went inside to speak to the children.

Because of Reina's appearance, the children hid in a corner in fear. A slightly older child stood in front of all the children, seemingly not quite trusting Reina.

"Big brother...you...you really came to save us?" a little girl asked, sobbing as she hid in the crowd.

"Well, now is not the time to talk about this. Those pirates are having a banquet and won't find us for the time being. Follow me and move to another place first, then I'll deal with those pirates and come back to rescue you!" Reina tried to sound gentle as he spoke softly.

The children looked at each other, and finally the older children made a decision together. They decided to believe in Reiner because the outcome couldn't be worse than it was now.

So, led by Reina, the group of children slowly moved in another direction.

"Wait!" Reina, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, gestured to stop behind him, and then slowly poked his head out from around a corner.

At the far end of the corner, two pirates were sitting there drinking.

"Wow, we really pulled off a big heist this time! Not to mention the treasure we stole, those kids alone will fetch a lot of Berries!" one of the pirates said to his companion with a hiccup.

However, instead of a response from his companion, he received a punch from Reina.

Upon spotting the two, Reina acted decisively, knocking one pirate unconscious with a single chop to the neck, and then punching the one who was speaking in the neck.

"Alright, you guys stay here for now, I'll go out and deal with those pirates!" Reina found a storage room, let the children hide inside, and whispered to them.

"Big brother, be careful! If things get really bad... just leave us and run away!" one of the older children said after a moment's hesitation.

Reina patted his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm very strong!"

After saying that, Reina took the weapon he had just picked up from the pirate and left.

"Oh!"

A large hole suddenly appeared in the cabin where a banquet was being held, and a pirate fell to the ground unconscious.

"Who goes there?" The pirates who were having a banquet all stood up and looked outside.

Reina slowly walked in, carrying a weapon.

"Boy...who are you? How dare you come here to die?" The one-eyed pirate sitting in the main seat looked at Reina and asked fiercely.

“Me? Reina of the Whitebeard Pirates!” Reina chuckled and replied.

"The Whitebeard Pirates? Is that the Whitebeard Pirates that have recently risen to fame?"

"Why would the Whitebeard Pirates be here? We don't think we've offended them, have we?"

Upon hearing Whitebeard's name, the pirates became tense, and even their captain, One-Eyed Wells, was stunned.

"Don't worry, I'm the only one here this time! As for my purpose... as a pirate, robbing you isn't too much to ask, is it?" Reina slowly walked into the cabin and said.

Upon hearing that the other party was only one person, One-Eyed Wells immediately gave his subordinates a wink, then said with a smile, "Since you're after money, that's easy. Young brother, please have a seat. We'll naturally offer you treasure later! Men, hurry up and serve wine to this young man from the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Receiving a signal from the captain, several pirates immediately brought over wine jars, intending to pour wine for Reina, while two of them secretly walked out of the cabin.

Reina saw everything but did not stop them.

Sure enough, the two pirates who had just left returned quickly and nodded to the captain, indicating that it really was only Reina.

"Hahahaha... Kid, I don't care if you're a member of the Whitebeard Pirates or not. Since you dare to come here alone to die, I'll grant your wish! Men... kill him!" One-Eyed Wells received the message from his subordinates and immediately changed his expression, shouting loudly.

“It should have been done a long time ago, shouldn’t it?” Reina smiled slightly, casually punching down the pirates who rushed at him, and slowly walking towards One-Eyed Wells.

Seeing that his subordinates' shots and knife strikes had no effect on Reina, One-Eyed Wells said with a grim expression, "A Devil Fruit user!"

"No... To you, I am the real demon! Scum, die!" As Reina spoke, he was already very close to One-Eyed Wells. As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from his original spot and appeared directly in front of One-Eyed Wells.

"Oh!"

"Aww~~"

"Kid, don't think you're the only one with a Devil Fruit!" One-Eyed Wells grew much taller and bigger, with yellow fur growing all over his body. After exchanging a punch with Reina, he roared, "I'm a Zoan-type Lion-Lion Fruit user!"

"Hmph! Trash is trash, even if you're a Devil Fruit user, it won't change anything! I'm taking your head today!" Reina curled his lip and took another step, charging towards Wells once again.
