Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Hearing Reina's words, Shiki was somewhat displeased, but he still stepped inside. However, when he entered and saw that there were three women inside, his expression became even stranger.

"Don't make wild guesses, they're family, they're all my friends!" Reina quickly explained as soon as he saw the look in Skeeter's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Shiki the Golden Lion immediately understood. He plopped down on a stool and said, "Kid, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you're just like your older brother, making friends with all sorts of people. A strong person should have the demeanor of a strong person!"

"Were you born a strongman?" Nami, who had already noticed that Shiki was somewhat dissatisfied, finally understood why he was unhappy. So, before Reina could speak, she directly retorted.

She didn't learn much else from following Luffy on his journey, but she did learn to be fearless and just do what she was told.

"Hmph~ This little girl isn't very capable, but she's certainly sharp-tongued!" Shiki sneered in response.

Reina wasn't worried that Shiki would attack Nami. Just as he himself said, he wasn't interested in the weak, and as a strong person, he wouldn't bother with the weak unless absolutely necessary.

Upon hearing this, Nami let out a cold laugh and was about to retort again when she was stopped by Reina and Bellemere.

“Alright, Brother Shiki, they are all my friends!” Reina said in a deep voice.

"Alright, for your sake... I'll let it go!" Shiki the Golden Lion glanced at the sulking Nami and said with a light laugh.

The dinner table, which should have been filled with laughter, became quite awkward after Shiki's arrival.

Shiki, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind, and continued eating, drinking, and chatting with Reina.

However, Shiki quickly put down his chopsticks and said to Reina, "You know the situation here, brother. How about it? Can't you recommend a good navigator for me?"

“It’s not that it’s impossible, it’s just that Brother Shiki’s requirements are too high!” Reina said with a wry smile. “Even the navigators on Roger’s ship didn’t discover that back then; they were just lucky! So I really can’t find the kind of navigator that Brother Shiki needs!”

Hearing Reyner's words, Skeeter was silent for a moment before speaking, "If you can't do it, come help me! I'll talk to Newgate!"

"No! You know my brother's temper. If you go and talk to him about this, I really can't think of any other outcome besides you two fighting!" Reina quickly stopped him.

"This won't work, that won't work... Give me a solution!" Shiki the Golden Lion seemed increasingly agitated and said to Reina.

"Hmph! Aren't you a strong person? Why do you need to ask others for help? Why don't you do it yourself!" Seeing Shiki getting angry at Reina, Nami, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help but speak sarcastically.

"Little girl...do you think you can do whatever you want just because Reina is protecting you?" Shiki, who was already a little irritated, began to show a fierce glint in his eyes.

“Brother Shiki…actually, I’ve never really understood…” Seeing this, Reina immediately changed the subject and asked, “You’re building an air fleet now, right? Then why do you still need navigators?”

"You also own a sky island, but does that mean you can go anywhere from your sky island? You can't escape natural disasters like storms and tornadoes! If all else fails... I'll just have to invite these old men to my place as guests! They can study the weather anywhere!" Shiki sneered.

"What? What do you want to do to Haredas and the others?" Upon hearing Shiki's words, Nami immediately stood up and asked in shock.

However, Shiki completely ignored her and looked at Reina instead!

In fact, his words were a form of threat to Reina, forcing him to come up with a solution.

However, Reina didn't seem to care, shrugging and saying, "You're taking a bunch of old men back with you... to conquer the world? Hahaha... Brother Shiki, stop joking!"

“Hehehehe... What? You think I wouldn’t do that?” Shiki squinted at Reina and asked.

Reina nodded and said, "If you're sure you want to do this... then you'll have to defeat me first!" With that, Reina put down his chopsticks and said softly.

"Heh heh heh heh... You've got guts! Then come and try to stop me!"

Before Shiki could finish speaking, he kicked Reina beside him. Reina seemed to have been prepared, and Senbonzakura appeared in his hand to block Shiki's Sakura Ten slash.

On the other side, Marco grabbed Nojiko and Bellemere the moment Shiki made his move, protecting them, Nami, and Gen.

"boom!"

Reina and Shiki barely touched each other before Nami's little house was split in two.

"Let's go!" Marco led the four of them out of the hut, preventing them from affecting Reina.

"Hehehehe... You little brat from back then, now you dare to fight me?" Shiki looked at Reina, slowly floating up, and said.

Reina waved the Senbonzakura in his hand and said with a light laugh, "Brother Shiki... if you're careless... something terrible could happen!"

Chapter 424 The Golden Lion's Purpose

"What's going on? What's going on?" The explosion caused by the battle between Reina and Shiki immediately attracted the attention of Haredas and the others. The group of old men, dressed in robes that looked like pajamas, rushed over from all directions.

"Oh no! You guys stay here and don't move! I'll go tell them not to come any closer!" Marco immediately said to Bellemere behind him upon seeing the situation.

"Don't worry, we won't do anything reckless. Just be careful!" Noki nodded and said.

"Okay!" Marco nodded, spread his arms, and flew directly towards Haredas and the others.

“Brother Shiki doesn’t want to ruin this place or hurt those scholars, right? How about we go somewhere else?” Reina also saw Haredas and the others arrive, so he suggested with a smile.

"Idiot... This is my advantage! How could I give it up? What did you learn from Newgate? Slash!" Shiki the Golden Lion not only refused, but also mocked Reina, and then directly unleashed a slash with his feet.

"What have you learned? Hehehe... Since Brother Shiki wants to see, then... take a look! Scatter, Senbonzakura!" Faced with Shiki's initiative, Reina also launched a counterattack, directly releasing Senbonzakura.

As the longsword in Reina's hand disappeared and petals filled the sky, Shiki let out a strange laugh and charged directly at Reina.

The scattered petals couldn't even get close to Shiki before being bounced away.

"You're not the only one who uses two swords!" Seeing that his moves were useless against Shiki, Hyōrinmaru had appeared in Reina's hand without him even noticing.

"Dual swordsmanship? Hehehehe... Let's have some fun! Wave Slash!" Two bouncing slashes flew straight towards Reina.

"Hehe... This kind of move... seems to have been underestimated!" Reina waved his right hand, and Hyōrinmaru directly blocked the two leaping slashes. At the same time, he swung the hilt of Senbonzakura downwards with his left hand, and countless cherry blossom petals formed a flower path, directly engulfing Shiki.

Meanwhile, Marco, who had stopped Haredas and the others, told them to find a safe place to take refuge, and that they would deal with the enemies here.

Looking at the ground destroyed by Reina and Shiki, Haredas and the others felt a pang of heartache, but they knew they couldn't worry about that now. After reminding Marco to be careful, the old men disappeared as quickly as possible.

"Oh!"

"Boom~~~"

"Hehehehe... This kind of move... is not enough to deal with me!" The cherry blossom petals surrounding Shiki were shaken off by him, and Shiki, who was completely unharmed, slowly floated in the air, laughing loudly as he spoke to Reina.

"This is indeed a bit troublesome!" Reina frowned as he watched the two of them wreak havoc on the place after only a brief exchange of blows.

"Damn it... This isn't a place for you to run wild! Thundercloud Weather - Electric Bubble!" Nami immediately took out her Weather Stick, used Electric Bubble, and launched an attack on Shiki.

"Hmm? Interesting!" Shiki easily dodged Nami's attack and said with a light laugh, "Since you dare to attack me... can you afford the consequences?"

However, upon seeing Nami make her move, he immediately frowned.

He wasn't worried that Shiki would kill Nami, but rather that Shiki would discover Nami's talent for meteorology.

"This is Weather Island... Do you think you can do whatever you want here? Thundercloud Weather - Thundercloud Lightning Gun!" Nami swung her Weather Stick, and the electric bubble that Shiki had dodged immediately turned into a bolt of lightning, heading straight for Shiki.

"Oh no, Marco!" Upon seeing this, Reina immediately rushed towards Shiki, shouting at Marco in hopes that he could protect Nami.

"This is getting interesting! So you're the talent I need... Hehehehehe..."

Sure enough, Shiki immediately perked up when he discovered that Nami could control the weather in battle.

As for the lightning that struck him, a large rock rose from the ground of the Sky Island to block it when Shiki raised his arm slightly.

"She's not the kind of talent you need! Hyōrinmaru... Bankai!" Reina, who had tucked Senbonzakura back into his waistband and was heading straight for Shiki, activated Hyōrinmaru's Bankai state. After activating Bankai, a giant ice dragon and a pair of ice wings appeared behind Reina, and twelve ice crystal lotuses also appeared around him.

"Hehehehe... Looks like it's time to get serious! Lion's Might - Earth Roll!" Facing Reyner, who had activated Hyōrinmaru Bankai, Shiki was not careless. With a wave of his hand, the ground was lifted up, forming multiple lion heads that crushed towards Reyner.

"Dragon Shot!" Reina pointed with Hyōrinmaru in his hand and headed straight for Shiki the Golden Lion. As for the lion heads that were sweeping in, Reina ignored them completely, as if he hadn't seen them at all.

Marco, who heard Reina's shout, flew directly towards Nami, but Shiki's attack was faster. He couldn't save Nami in time and could only watch helplessly as the lion head Shiki created engulfed Nami.

"Nami!" Bellemere, Ken, and Nojiko rushed towards Nami at the same time, but were stopped by Marco who arrived in time.

"Don't go and cause trouble! Don't worry, Nami will be fine! Shiki wants to kidnap Nami, but he definitely won't kill her! You guys step back, I'm going to help Reina now!" Marco stopped the three of them and said seriously.

“Phew~ Bellemere, Marco is right, that’s not an opponent we can defeat. Let’s not go and cause trouble!” A-Jian, his eyes red, grabbed Bellemere and whispered.

"Marco... I'm counting on you for Nami!" Bellemere clenched her fist and said to Marco.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. With Reina and me here, he won't succeed!" Marco nodded and replied.

"Marco!" Before leaving, Nojiko suddenly looked at Marco, took a deep breath, and said, "Please, you must rescue Nami!"

Marco smiled slightly, nodded, and then spread his arms, flying directly towards Reina and Shiki, who were fighting.

"Oh!"

But before Marco could get close, Reina was knocked away by Shiki.

"Are you alright?" Marco asked, helping Reina up.

"It's nothing... I was a little careless just now!" Reina shook his head, looked at Shiki in the air, and said softly.

"Hehehehe... What's wrong? Reina, your strength shouldn't be limited to this! Where's your Sharingan? Why aren't you activating it?" Shiki looked down at Reina and asked.

“I will use it when the time comes, Marco… go!” Reina didn’t explain much and just shouted.

"it is good!"

Marco and Reina attacked Shiki simultaneously from the left and right.

However, Marco was worried about Reina, who had been seriously injured during the previous battle with the Navy.

Although he seems to be fully recovered now, Marco still remembers that before he came out, Whitebeard specifically told him to try not to let Reyna do anything.

Because Reina's physique is different from theirs, they can recover quickly after being injured, but Reina is different. His strength is not innate, but acquired. So although his physique has improved a lot, it is still not comparable to the level of powerhouses like him.

So now Marco is a little worried that Reina's injury may not have fully healed!

Normally, it's fine to fight, but when facing a strong opponent like Shiki the Golden Lion, you have to go all out. Right now, Reina hasn't even used his Sharingan, which clearly means he has some concerns.

However, Reina's injuries have actually healed completely. He doesn't use the Sharingan because before the Sharingan evolves into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the more it is used, the closer one gets to blindness.

His eyesight has already begun to decline under normal conditions, so he will not use the Sharingan unless absolutely necessary.

After all, 400,000 points is really too difficult to achieve. After summoning the Nine-Tailed Fox, he only had less than 140,000 points. He has gained some points in the past few days, but he has only just surpassed 140,000 points now.

However, Marco was unaware of Reina's thoughts, so he misunderstood that Reina had not activated his Sharingan because his injuries had not yet healed.

"Bang bang bang!"

The three engaged in aerial combat. Marco intended to take the lead in attacking to reduce the pressure on Reina when facing the enemy. Moreover, as a flying ability user, aerial combat was his forte. Therefore, Reina did not take the lead in attacking but instead began to cooperate with Marco and take on the role of cover.

However, in Shiki's eyes, this scene made him feel that Reina was underestimating him. Reina hadn't gone all out during their previous fight, and now Marco was taking the lead in the attack, which Shiki found unbearable.

"Get lost!" After unleashing his domineering aura and blasting Marco away, Shiki the Golden Lion charged straight at Reina.

Seeing this, Reina was about to step forward to fight, but then he saw that the small sky island had been destroyed in a mess because of them. So he rolled his eyes and pretended to be a little scared as he flew away into the distance.

"Run? Reina... what the hell are you doing?!" Reina's retreat startled Shiki, but he caught up with him in an instant.

Seeing this, Marco didn't say much and immediately chased after the Golden Lion.

Soon, the three of them slowly moved away from the small sky island. At this moment, Reina stopped and turned to face Shiki the Golden Lion who had caught up with them.
