Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

“This child has suddenly gone mad, and I don’t know why!” Namur felt that this was not Maslin himself, because if he had such strength, the sea monster from before could not have eaten him.

Besta and Lakyo exchanged a glance and immediately took action, intending to help Namur subdue the opponent first.

However, their moves were indeed ruthless, and even if the three of them joined forces, they would not be able to capture their opponent without injury in a short period of time.

"What are you doing? Playing house?" Reina's voice came from the crowd as more and more people gathered around, making everyone feel a little hesitant.

“Reina, this kid is fast, he’s a bit tricky!” Laco said as he pulled a crew member behind him to avoid Maslin’s attack.

"Then just kill him! Is his life more valuable than our crew members?" Reina sneered, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Everyone looked at Namuel. Because he was a fishman, they assumed he was someone close to him, so none of them went all out to capture him alive, which gave him the opportunity to hurt people.

“Rena, he’s acting strangely! He seems to be controlled by something!” Namuel quickly explained, fearing that Rena would kill Maslin directly.

"Hmm?" At this moment, Reina also noticed that the other person's eyes seemed to have turned into two rubies, which did not look like normal human eyes at all.

"Namuel, what happened? Why did he become like this?" Reina asked in surprise.

“I don’t know either. He seemed very angry after we rejected him, and then he turned out like this!” Namuel shook his head and said.

"You all step back!" Reina slowly stepped forward, ordering the people surrounding Maslin to disperse.

"Blood~~blood~~fresh blood!" Upon noticing Reina approaching, Maslin seemed to lack the ability to distinguish right from wrong and charged directly at Reina.

"Sharingan...activate!" The three-tomoe Sharingan stared directly into the opponent's ruby-like eyes.

Upon seeing Reina's Sharingan, the other party's movements slowed down, as if something was struggling.

"Looks like he really is being controlled... How interesting! Get him down!" Taking advantage of the opponent's apparent struggle, Reina flashed behind him and then knocked him unconscious with a chop to the neck.

"Knock knock knock..." At this moment, Whitebeard slowly appeared with Jozu and asked, "What's wrong?"

Reina first had Maslin tied up before explaining everything that had just happened to Whitebeard.

"Oh? It's been controlled by something? And its strength has increased significantly?" Upon hearing this, Whitebeard stroked his chin and pondered carefully.

"Where are we now?" After thinking for a moment, Whitebeard suddenly asked the navigator.

"Father, we're in the Kuster Sea right now!" the navigator replied without hesitation.

"What's wrong with Big Brother?" Reina asked, puzzled.

"This thing... is somewhat similar to something from legends!" Whitebeard said softly.

"Something legendary? What is it? I don't know anything that can control people like this?" Reina shook his head and asked, puzzled.

Namur, standing to the side, was taken aback, then looked at Whitebeard and said, "Father, are you doubting the Naga race? But even among the fish-men outside, this race is only a legend; no one has ever actually seen one!"

"Naga? What's that?" everyone asked, puzzled.

"The Naga are a branch of our mermaid race, but they are different from the kind mermaids. They are synonymous with evil. Not only do they possess powerful combat strength, but legend has it that they also have the ability to control others and put their minds to sleep!" Namur said what he knew.

"The Naga race?" Reina was genuinely dumbfounded. He knew the term and had heard of it before, but it definitely wasn't in this One Piece anime world.

"That can't be possible! Even Namur, a fish-man, said that we could never have encountered such a legendary creature."

"That's right, Dad! Don't scare us! That's a legendary monster!"

The surrounding pirates began to speak up.

It seems they also knew about the Naga, these legendary creatures.

“But… many years ago, I remember there were rumors that Naga appeared in this sea area! It’s just that so many years have passed, and no one has ever witnessed a real Naga!” Whitebeard shook his head and said.

"Many years ago? Brother, why haven't I heard of this?" Reina asked, somewhat incredulously.

"When we passed through this area back then, weren't you working every day? When did you ever notice these things?" Whitebeard said with a smile, "But these are all legends; no one has ever actually seen the Naga!"

“That’s right, I think someone is just using that rumor to play tricks here! We’ll ask him when he wakes up!” Reina nodded, pointing to Maslin, who was lying on the ground and tied up.

So everyone started to become interested in this fish-man child. If there really were clues about the Naga race, that would be interesting.

Soon, with the help of the ship's doctor, Maslin regained consciousness.

But when he saw that everyone was looking at him and that he was tied up, he panicked.

"Brother Miu... what... what's going on?" Maslin was almost in tears; he was just a child.

"What just happened...don't you remember?" Namur hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and asking.

“Just now? What just happened? I don’t remember!” Maslin shook his head and replied.

“Think carefully…where are your memories? In other words, where can you recall them?” At this moment, Reina stepped forward and asked.

“This…” Maslin hesitated for a moment, looking at Reina with some fear, and said, “I… I only remember that you refused to help me, so I begged Brother Namur to take me to see Captain Whitebeard, hoping that Captain Whitebeard could help us!”

"And then what?" Reina continued to ask.

“Then…then I felt so sleepy…and then I don’t remember anything!” Maslin shook his head and said.

“Look into my eyes…” Suddenly, Reina activated his Sharingan, making Maslin look into his eyes, and asked, “Do you remember what just happened?”

“I…I don’t…I don’t remember…Ugh…” Maslin, looking into Reina’s eyes, kept saying he remembered and then he suddenly opened his mouth, vomited a mouthful of blood, and fainted again.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering whether the kid remembered or not.

Reina, on the other hand, just pursed his lips. After all, his Sharingan wasn't the complete version; otherwise, this kind of torture would have been a piece of cake.

It now seems that he must use the Mangekyou Sharingan to have any chance of controlling the other party in a short period of time.

But now his eyesight is starting to decline, and if there's no clue about the Naga at all, he'll be at a huge loss.

Seemingly noticing Reyna's hesitation, Whitebeard spoke up directly: "Whether it's true or not, based on what you just said, his goal is to send Namur down alone. It seems there's some trap waiting for Namur!"

Reina nodded and said, "That's right. Perhaps their target is Namur. If they control Namur, they can infiltrate our ranks!"

"So what do we do now? Just wait like this? That's not a good idea, is it?" Lakyo asked anxiously.

"How about... we call Jinbe over? The Fishman Pirates are the most convenient to handle this kind of thing!" Sachi suddenly suggested from the side.

“That makes sense, but we can’t contact Jinbe right now! What should we do?” Vista said, shrugging.

"This..." For a moment, no one seemed to have a good solution, since underwater was not their area of ​​expertise.

“Then… how about we coat the Moby Dick?” one of the crew members suggested.

"Diving into the sea to fight the fishmen after coating them is pure suicide! They only need to break the coating and we'll be wiped out!" Reina shook his head and said.

“Father, Reina…should we notify Fishman Island and let them handle this?” At this moment, Namur stepped forward and said.

“This… is fine too! After all, whether it’s a real Naga or not, it’s more appropriate to leave this to Fishman Island to handle!” Reina nodded in agreement.

"Okay! Then notify Crescent Moon Island and have Marco contact Fishman Island and send them the coordinates here!" After thinking for a moment, Whitebeard agreed to Namur's suggestion.

Soon after dialing the Den Den Mushi on Crescent Island, Reina told Marco what had happened and asked him to pass the message on to Fish-Man Island, and preferably also to Jinbe.

After all, in Reina's view, Jinbe's status as the strongest fish-man should be undeniable.

However, Marco, who couldn't contact Jinbe immediately, decided to send the message to Fishman Island first.

"Hehehe... Oh, it's Captain Marco! What brings you here?" On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, King Neptune of Fishman Island asked with a chuckle.

Because Fishman Island is the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, there are Den Den Mushi (snail phones) here that the doctor specially bred for them to contact Crescent Moon Island.

"What? Naga? Are you sure?" After hearing Marco's words, Neptune immediately floated up from his throne and asked incredulously.

“I’m not sure either, but it seems like the other party really does have the ability to control people! And since the other party is underwater, we can’t do anything about it, which is why we’re here to inform you!” Marco explained with a smile.

“I see, I understand. I will immediately organize the army and head to the Kuster Sea!” Neptune said solemnly.

“Reina said that if possible, you should contact Jinbe and have his Fishman Pirates come along!” Marco relayed Reina’s words to Neptune.

"Okay, I understand!" Neptune glanced at Jinbe, who looked shocked, not far away, and hung up the phone.

Chapter 431 Fishman Island Mobilization

"Your Majesty... are you really a Naga?" Jinbe asked, his face full of shock.

He returned to Fishman Island after attending the grand banquet, so he overheard Neptune and Marco's phone call.

“It’s hard to say. Although there have been very few Naga legends these days, rumors about Naga still occasionally circulate in some places. That’s why Marco said earlier that they weren’t sure either!” Neptune shook his head and said.

"So what do we do now? Should we go take a look?" Jinbe asked, getting up.

Although he asked the question, he already had the answer in his heart.

"Jinbe, I'll have to trouble you with this. I'll send a squad of Poseidon's army and Shark Star with you!" Sure enough, Neptune nodded and said.

“Okay!” Jinbe nodded, turned around and left Ryugu Castle. He was going to gather the members of the Fishman Pirates.

After Jinbe left, Neptune also sent for the First Prince, Shark Star.

"Father, you called for me!" The eldest prince, Shark Star, is serious, responsible, and quite calm. He has already been chosen by Neptune as the next king.

“Yes! We just received a message from Xuan Yue Island saying that a suspected Naga has been discovered in the Kuster Sea!” Neptune nodded and said.

"What?" Shark Star was taken aback, then asked in surprise, "Naga? Are they real?"

“I don’t know either. I’ve never seen a real Naga, but according to the documents left by our ancestors… perhaps the Naga really did exist, but they disappeared for some reason!” Neptune explained.

"So this time... it might be true?" Shark asked in surprise.

“That’s why I sent you to take a look… Jinbe will be going with you this time, so you can take a squad of Poseidon’s army with you!” Neptune said with a smile.

"Yes, Father!" Shark Star nodded, then hesitated for a moment and asked, "If... if it really is the Naga race, then what should we do?"

He had heard rumors about the Naga, which is why he asked that question.

“Take it back to Fishman Island! If it’s fake, you can deal with it yourself!” Neptune hesitated for a moment, then said softly.

Although he had heard of the Naga legends, he couldn't say for sure what the specifics were. So if it was true, he would only know for sure after actually meeting the Naga.

"Yes, Father! I'll go make preparations now!" Shark Star nodded, then turned and left.

Before long, Shark Star, who was all ready to go, discovered that his two younger brothers had somehow entered his room.

"Huangxing, Fanchexing, what brings you here?" Shark Star asked with a smile as soon as he saw his younger brother arrive.

"What are you planning to do, big brother?" Huang Xing asked curiously.

"Father asked me to go out and take care of some things!" Shark Star didn't tell his two younger brothers too much, afraid that they would worry.

"Huh? Will it be gone for a long time?" Fanchexing asked curiously.

The reason their tone of voice was a bit strange was because their little sister, the mermaid princess Shirahoshi, cried a lot when she was born. So, to cheer her up, the two of them often sang and danced. Over time, their voices also adopted that tone.
