Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Huh?" Reina was taken aback, looking at Señor Piqué and asking, "If you die here, Doflamingo won't let it go!"

“Phew~ I know! In exchange, Lucia and I will live on Crescent Moon Island. If Crescent Moon Island is invaded, I will come out to fight!” Señor Piqué said firmly.

Reina's lips curled slightly as he said, "No problem, I agree to your request! But it has to wait until I get back!"

“Okay!” Señor Pique nodded in agreement.

Standing on the deck of the small sailboat, Reina's lips unconsciously curled up slightly. This haul was really good!

With Binz and Ain on Sky Island, the Doctor's safety has greatly improved, and Perona seems to be planning to settle there as well, since the environment there is now very suitable for him. So Reina no longer needs to worry about the safety of Sky Island.

The addition of Señor Piqué has further improved the defense system of Crescent Moon Island.

With Frank in charge of management, Reina doesn't need to worry about it much anymore. However, once the Moby Dick leaves, there won't be a single capable person on Crescent Island that Reina can trust. The addition of Señor Piqué fills this gap and puts Reina at ease.

“Mr. Reina…do you know where Nami is?” Seeing Reina standing alone on the deck, A-Jian walked over with a bottle of wine and asked.

"Hmm! I wonder if you guys know about the weather island of Visalia?" Reina asked with a smile.

“Weather Island? Never heard of it!” Ah Jian shook his head and replied.

“Don’t even mention you, most people wouldn’t have heard of this place, because it… is in the sky!” Reina pointed to the sky and said.

"Oh? It's a floating island?" Marco asked in surprise as he passed by.

“That’s right, the small sky island of Visalia is known as Weather Island because it is home to the world’s top meteorologists, just like Ohara in the past!” Reina nodded and replied.

“Oh? I didn’t expect there to be such an island! But we don’t have a permanent compass, how are we going to get there?” Marco asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, I got the permanent pointer there before we set off. I'll have to trouble you then, since none of us can get up there!" Reina said with a smile.

"So that's why you asked me to come with you!" Marco replied with a smile.

"By the way, where are Nojiko and Bellemere?" Reina looked around; he hadn't seen either of them since they set sail.

“Nochiko is resting in her cabin. She seems to have developed some interest in business lately, so she’s discussing something with Bellemere!” Marco replied, shrugging.

“Oh? That’s a good thing! You’ve traveled all over the country for years, don’t you know how to give her some advice?” Reina said to Marco.

"Me?" Marco pointed to himself in surprise, shook his head and said, "I don't know how, how can I give advice? It's better not to cause trouble!"

"Wouldn't it be better for you to help her than for her to figure it out on her own?" Reina said in a tone of disappointment.

Although Marco was somewhat confused, upon hearing Reina's words, he seemed to think he was stronger than Nojigo, who had never been to sea. So, urged by Reina, he went into the cabin to find Nojigo.

"Mr. Reina seems to..." Ah Jian hesitated for a moment, then pointed to Marco as he left and asked, "Does he seem to have some intention?"

Chapter 420 Arrival at Weather Island

"Oh? What does Mr. Jian mean?" Reina asked with a slight smile.

"I don't know if it's just my imagination... but I feel like Mr. Reina seems to be... trying to match Captain Marco and Nojiko together?" After hesitating for a moment, A-Jian still gritted his teeth and asked.

"Huh? Was it that obvious?" Reina was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Actually, it wasn't really matchmaking! After all, they're both adults. I was just giving them an opportunity. If they can get together, great. If not, I won't force it! I didn't expect Mr. Jian to be so observant. How did you figure it out?"

Ah Jian shook his head and said, "It wasn't me who discovered it... it was Bellemere!"

“So that’s how it is… This is Mother!” Reina replied with a sudden realization.

“But why doesn’t Bellemere come and ask him herself?” Reina looked at A-Jian and asked, “Are you afraid I’ll force you?”

"Well... I'll be honest! Bellemere sent me to ask! Actually, I didn't even realize it at first!" Ah Jian scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "And she said that if I asked, even if we disagreed, it wouldn't have much of an impact, but she's different, so that's why she sent me!"

"Hahaha...she's so thoughtful, but I'm not the kind of person who uses force...don't worry!" Reina laughed and shook his head, saying, "By the way, have you asked about Nojiko yet?"

"Well... if Bellemere hadn't told me, I wouldn't have even noticed!" A-Jian said embarrassedly, "But Bellemere must have told her something!"

“Ah~ I see. I haven’t asked Marco yet either, but don’t worry about that kid. If Nojiko agrees, he definitely won’t dare to refuse!” Reina said confidently.

To everyone's surprise, A-Jian, who usually respected Marco very much, actually nodded in agreement.

It seems that in every father's heart, his own daughter is the most outstanding, and no one is unworthy of her.

In the following time, Reina and the other two seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, trying their best to create opportunities for Nojiko and Marco, but without explaining it, leaving the two somewhat confused.

However, seeing that their relationship was getting better and better, but they remained just good friends, both Reina and A-Jian began to get a little anxious.

"Don't rush it, these things can't be rushed. What we need to do is give them a chance. As for whether it will work out, that depends on them! It's all about fate..." Bellemere said with a light laugh, a cigarette dangling from her lips.

“I know, but after seeing Nami, you’ll be heading back, right? I’m worried we won’t have enough time!” Reina sighed.

“If that’s the case, then it just means their fate has run its course!” Bellemere said with a smile.

Reina was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "That's all we can do. As for Marco... we can only wait and see if he can seize the opportunity."

“I think Marco is pretty good. He’s strong, takes good care of people, and has a gentle personality!” A-Jian said to Bellemere, who had a very good impression of Marco.

“Even if it’s good, it still depends on Nokiko herself…after all, this is a major life event for her!” Bellemere shook her head and said.

Reina and A-Jian exchanged a glance, and they saw helplessness in each other's eyes. This matter really depended on their own efforts.

However, even after reaching the area below the small sky island of Visalia, Marco and Nojiko did not seem to have any intention of developing in that direction.

“Alright, according to the log pointer, we should be directly above the small sky island! They’re different from the real sky islands, so their altitude shouldn’t be very high… Marco, why don’t you go up and take a look first, and then come back to pick us up after you’ve confirmed our location!” Reina said to Marco after looking at the permanent log pointer.

"Okay, I understand!" Upon hearing this, Marco spread his arms and transformed into a half-beast form, flying upwards into the sky.

"Be careful!" Nojiko couldn't help but shout as Marco flew higher and higher.

Although it's unclear whether Marco heard it or not, Reina and A-Jian were laughing happily, which at least counts as a good performance!

"Marco ate a Zoan-type Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Phoenix form! Even in the New World, it's an extremely rare Flying Fruit!" Reina explained to Nojiko with a smile, "So there's no need to worry about his safety in the air. In aerial combat, very few people can defeat him!"

Hearing Reina's words, Nokiko blushed. Unlike the blockhead Marco, she already knew what Reina was planning these days, and Bellemere had also told her, letting her choose for herself.

She just hadn't made up her mind yet. This time, she came to see Nami and wanted to hear her sister's opinion. Although Nami might not be familiar with Marco, they were both pirates and might know each other better.

Not long after, Marco, in his half-beast form, returned to the pirate ship.

"We've spotted the small sky island. It's moving due south, but not very fast!" Marco transformed back into human form, landed on the deck, and said to Reina.

“Okay! Take Noki upstairs first. Remember not to be too forceful. We’re just here to find someone!” Reina nodded and replied calmly.

Marco nodded and said to Nojiko, "I'll take you up first. Come on, get on my back!"

Nojiko hesitated for a moment, then climbed onto Marco's back, while Reina couldn't help but smile and give Marco a thumbs up.

Marco was somewhat confused for a moment.

Normally, he would grab people with his claws, which is more convenient, but since Nojiko is a girl and hasn't trained, he was afraid that grabbing her directly would hurt her, so he decided to carry her on his back.

But faced with Reina's inexplicable praise, Marco wondered if he had done something wrong and that Reina was now targeting him.

Before he could think any further, Marco sensed that Nojiko behind him was ready, so he spread his arms and flew towards the small sky island.

"Alright, let's just wait a little longer!" Reina said with a smile.

"Without Captain Marco, we really don't know how we would have gotten up there!" A-Jian said with a smile.

Reina smiled slightly, without telling them that he had a way to contact the small sky island. He said that once he contacted the small sky island, they would send someone down to pick them up.

This was a great opportunity for the two of them to get to know each other, and Reina certainly wouldn't miss it.

Marco's performance just now was excellent, wasn't it? If he had also intended to grab Nocigo with his claws, Reina would definitely not have minded giving Marco a lesson.

Fortunately, Marco had performed well, so Reina suddenly felt like a father watching his son finally grow up.

After a while, several balloon-like things slowly floated down from the sky. Marco and Nojiko were not inside; instead, there were two old men dressed in robes that resembled pajamas.

"So it's the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates!" an old man said with a smile as soon as he saw Reina.

"So, Nami is doing quite well here, isn't she, Mr. Haredas?" Reina asked with a smile.

“Of course, the little girl is quite energetic!” The old man, whom Reina called Haredas, replied with a smile.

"Ah, that's good! Marco has already gone up, right?"

"Yes! You mean that guy who can turn into a bird? He gave us quite a fright!" Haredas said with a laugh.

“Let’s go, we can talk as we walk!” Reina smiled and invited A-Jian and Bellemere to get on the balloon-like device together.

The two exchanged bewildered glances. So there was a way to get to the small sky island? Then why did Reina make Marco carry Nojiko up first?

However, seeing Reina's smile, the two naturally understood.

"Let me introduce you! This is the great meteorologist, Mr. Haredas. Nami owes a lot to him for taking care of her on Weather Island!" Reina introduced to Ken and Bellemere with a smile.

"Mr. Haredas, hello! Nami must have caused you trouble, right?" The two immediately bowed and greeted Haredas.

Whether considering their age or out of consideration for Nami, it was absolutely necessary for them to bow.

"Hehehe... No need to be so polite, the little girl has brought us a lot of joy!" Haredas replied with a smile.

"As for these two... I suppose they're Nami's father and mother!" After introducing Haredas, Reina introduced A-Jen and Bellemere to Haredas.

"Ah~ haha~~ that~~ haha..." Ah Jian felt a little embarrassed when he heard Reina say that, but seeing that Bellemere didn't object, he just smiled.

"Ah~ So you're Nami's parents! Are you here to pick her up?" Haredas asked in surprise.

“No, we just came to see her. She has her own life, and we won’t restrict her!” Bellemere shook her head and said.

“What enlightened parents! Hehehe…” Haredas replied with a chuckle.

Soon, the group passed through the bottom of the small sky island and entered the interior of Weather Island. Marco and Nojiko were waiting for them at the entrance, along with an excited Nami.

"Bellmere... Ken...!" Upon seeing the two, before they could even stand up straight, Nami lunged at Bellmere and hugged her tightly.

"Hehe...you've grown into a beautiful young lady!" Bellemere immediately transformed into a kind old mother upon seeing Nami, speaking with a smile.

"I really didn't expect... that you would actually come here... I was stunned when I saw Nojiko just now!" Nami seemed quite excited, and kept talking after seeing Bellemere.

"Alright, we still have plenty of time. Let's talk as we walk! Don't all stand here!" Reina was also very happy to see the family reunited.

Upon hearing this, Nami immediately nodded and then sincerely said to Reina, "Thank you so much, Mr. Reina. Nojiko already told me!"

"Alright! It's not a difficult thing!" Reina said with a slight smile.

"Then, little girl, why don't you take your family to your house first?" Haredas said with a smile when he saw Nami's excited expression.

“Okay, Mr. Haredas!” Nami nodded, then excitedly led Bellemere and Nojiko toward her residence, leaving Ken standing there with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Let's go! What are you still standing there for?" After walking a few steps, Bellemere turned around and called out when she realized that Ah Jian hadn't followed.

"Oh~ Oh~~ Here it comes!" Upon hearing this, Ah Jian immediately perked up and excitedly chased after it.

"Huh?" Nami was stunned to see Bellemere and Ken like this. She looked at Bellemere and asked, "Bellemere... could it be that you and Ken..."
