Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Reina was certain that if Zefa hadn't been there, he would have beaten Karadan so badly that even his own mother wouldn't have recognized him.

"Medic, take a look at that little girl. Does she have the incurable disease, Emperor of the South China Sea fever?" Zefa ignored the little commotion between Reina and Karadan and spoke to the medic instead.

"South China Sea Emperor Fever?" The military doctor was taken aback, then said in surprise, "South China Sea Emperor Fever used to be considered an incurable disease, but now a new effective drug has been developed. As long as the drug is injected, it will be cured, so it is no longer considered an incurable disease!"

"What?" Reina and Olga exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"Are you telling the truth? There's already a cure? Where can I buy it?" Reina was taken aback and quickly walked up to the naval doctor to ask.

Olga also looked at the naval medic with a nervous expression.

However, the medic did not answer Reina, but looked at Zephyr. Only after Zephyr nodded to him did he say, "Most naval branches have this kind of special medicine, so naturally our branch does too!"

“Lord Zephyr, you can have your doctor diagnose that Olga does indeed have South Sea Emperor fever. Don’t you navy pride yourselves on justice? You wouldn’t just stand by and watch such a young girl die because of you, would you?” Reina preemptively pinned the righteous label on Zephyr, which at least guaranteed Olga’s safety.

"Hehe... Akame! Don't struggle anymore. Once we've captured you, we'll treat the little girl. As for whether she's a pirate or not, that's a matter for justice to decide! But don't worry, even if she is a pirate, we'll treat her before imprisoning her in Impel Down!" Karadan stepped forward and said to Reina.

"Medic, please examine the girl first and see if she really has South Sea Emperor Fever!" Zefa did not follow Karadan's advice to attack Reina first, but instead asked the medic to examine Olga first.

“That’s right, General Zephyr, she does have South Sea Emperor fever, but I feel something is wrong with her body! It seems the virus is multiplying quite slowly in her body!” After examining Olga, the medic nodded and said.

“Well, General Zephyr, wasn’t I right? I didn’t lie to you!” Reina quickly said.

“Alright! Since that’s the case… Akame Reina, I’ll give you a choice! You saved the child on Kolas Island last time, so I’m giving you a chance! Either I let you leave now, or I inject the little girl with the special medicine and then let her leave! You choose!” Zephyr nodded and said in a deep voice.

Reina and Olga were taken aback. They hadn't expected Zephyr to know about their rescue of the child, nor had they expected him to present them with such a choice.

"Reina! You go first! I'm not a pirate, the Navy won't do anything to me! Besides, now that the special medicine has been released, there must be other ways to obtain it!" Olga said before Reina could even speak.

“Lord Zephyr… I never would have guessed you were this kind of person! Alright… give Olga the special medicine, then let her go!” Reina smiled slightly, then found an empty seat and sat down, saying.

"Oh? You're sure? You should know that if you do this, I'll drag you into the city right away!" Zephyr said with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense, just do as I say! Also, give the injection right here. I want to watch him give the injection myself, and then you can let her leave!" Reina snatched the drink from the nearby navy soldier and shouted.

Zefa nodded to the medic, who immediately arranged for someone to return to the branch to retrieve the special medicine.

Soon after, the naval soldiers returned with the special medicine, and then the naval medic prepared to inject Olga with it in front of Reina.

"I don't want a shot, I'm afraid of shots..." Before the medic could even do anything, Olga turned and ran away, seemingly terrified of injections.

Reina swiftly moved away from where he stood, grabbed Olga who was about to escape, and whispered, "Olga, don't be silly, this is a good opportunity for you to get treatment!"

"No, I don't want to! Such a big needle... I don't want to get it!" Olga protested.

At first, Reina thought Olga didn't want to receive treatment so that the Navy wouldn't attack him, but he didn't expect that she was genuinely afraid of injections.

Awkward and exasperated, Reina had no choice but to forcibly restrain Olga and then wink at the medic, signaling him to give Olga the injection.

"Alright, now... you can arrest me!" Reina said to the navy officer beside him while drinking his drink, watching Olga leave after she had finished her injection.

Karadan waved his hand, and immediately naval soldiers stepped forward with sea stone handcuffs, ready to put them on Reina.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Ha... Although I said I could let you arrest me! But I didn't say I wouldn't fight back! Zephyr... Come on! Let me see if the gap between us has narrowed!" Reina, who had knocked several Marine soldiers away and then activated his Sharingan, stood on the table and laughed loudly.

"Damn it, I knew pirates were unreliable! All of you, charge!" Karadan roared angrily.

However, Zephyr waved to stop the Navy and said to Reina, "Let's go outside and not damage the shop's property!"

Reina was taken aback, but nodded and walked out first. However, Zephyr did not follow him out, and all the marines remained inside the restaurant.

"Zeff...did you let me go on purpose? Tch~ I'll take your favor this time!" Reina looked at the closed tavern door, closed his Sharingan, and quickly left.

"My lord... is it appropriate for us to just let him go like this?" Karadan hesitated for a moment before asking Zefa.

"Let them go? Let who go? Haven't we been eating here all this time? Come on, everyone, keep going, or the good food will get cold!" Zephyr acted as if nothing had happened, smiling and urging the navy soldiers to continue eating and drinking.

"But, my lord... isn't our purpose in setting sail this time to find Akame?" Karadan asked somewhat unwillingly.

“This is a reward for saving people. When we meet again, it will be the time for me to arrest him!” Zefa laughed as he finished his drink.

Karadan nodded, stopped asking questions, and began to eat and drink, as if he had never seen Reina at all.

Reina, after leaving the restaurant, found Olga not far away.

"Reina, how did you escape?" Olga asked in surprise when she saw Reina.

“Let’s go, now’s not the time to talk about this. Let’s get the supplies ready and set sail immediately!” Reina shook his head and said.

Olga knew this wasn't the time to speak, so she nodded and followed Reina. After purchasing the necessary supplies, they immediately returned to the pirate ship.

"Huh? Why are you back so early?" Dr. Assie was dozing on the deck, not expecting Reina and Olga to return so quickly.

"Let's set sail first, we'll talk about the rest later!" Reina walked directly to the ship's side and pulled up the anchor.

The pirate ship set sail with the wind and immediately moved away from the island.

"What? You mean Olga's illness is cured?" Dr. Asie asked in surprise after hearing Reina mention that the Navy had injected Olga with a special medicine.

“That should be true! If you’re still worried, we can have Olga check up at the clinic after we arrive at the next island! A terminal illness like South Sea Emperor Fever should be easy to diagnose! Besides, we haven’t asked at the clinic yet, so if there’s a cure, the doctors there will definitely know!” Reina nodded and replied.

"Was that Admiral Zephyr just now?" Olga asked curiously.

“That’s right, he is Admiral Zephyr!” Reina said with a hint of helplessness.

"What? He's a nice guy! Why do you say you're mortal enemies with him?" Olga said, pouting.

"He's a Marine! I'm a pirate! We're sworn enemies!" Reina said with a light laugh.

After today's events, Reina's opinion of Zefa has changed considerably.

However, when he thought about Zefa's fate, he felt sorry for Zefa.

His beloved wife and son were killed by pirates, and his carefully taught disciple was also killed by pirates, who also cut off his arm!

That's not all. In the end, the Navy's betrayal led to the pirate who killed his disciple and cut off his arm becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, shattering his faith.

However, there was nothing Reina, being a pirate, could do. Not only did he not know the exact time and place of these events, but with his current strength, there was nothing he could do either.

Chapter 44 Wedding Scene

"Reina, now that we don't need to go to that medical superpower anymore, where should we go?" Olga asked in a very good mood as they walked back to the pirate ship.

Several days have passed since their last encounter with Zephyr, and they have now arrived at the next island.

After consulting with the doctors at the clinic and confirming that the South China Sea Emperor Fever, which was an incurable disease more than 170 years ago, now indeed had a cure, Asie, still not entirely reassured, gave Olga a full-body examination. Only after confirming that Olga was completely fine did he feel satisfied.

"We're not far from Fishman Island now, shall we go take a look?" Reina asked after thinking for a moment.

Since we're already here, it just doesn't feel right not to go and see for ourselves.

"Let's forget about it! It's close to Fishman Island, which means it's not far from the Navy Headquarters either! What if we run into some powerful Navy admiral again?" Olga is no longer the naive little girl she used to be. Her recent seafaring experience has given her a lot of current information.

Reina's face darkened. He was genuinely afraid of Olga's jinx; it was as if she had been blessed with divine intervention, and everything she said was always right.

“In that case… let’s go find my older brother Edward Newgate! After all, I’ve been away for so long, I should go back and see him!” Reina said after thinking for a moment.

He hadn't forgotten that he was still a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, so returning to the Whitebeard Pirates was perfectly normal. More importantly, he wanted to bring Dr. Assie back. With Dr. Assie joining the crew, Reina believed that the Whitebeard Pirates would definitely become even stronger.

Only a powerful pirate crew like the Whitebeard Pirates could afford to provide Dr. Ashie with the funds to research the projects he wanted to investigate.

"Edward Newgate!? You mean Whitebeard? Um... is he easy to get along with? I heard he's a very popular pirate right now, a very powerful figure, even the Navy has been defeated by him many times!" Olga asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, that's my older brother! There won't be any problems!" Reina patted his chest, assuring him.

"But come to think of it, I've never seen you contact him. Are you just bragging?" Olga asked, looking somewhat skeptical.

"Contact him? I don't even know where he is right now, how can I contact him?"

"What? You can't even contact him? You're going to take him there? Where are we going?" Cape Or was taken aback and asked with a hint of disdain.

"Idiot, the Whitebeard Pirates are a great pirate crew now. We can easily find out their location by asking around! We can just go there!" Reina replied with a smile.

Dr. Assie watched the two bicker without intervening; this had essentially become their daily routine.

The two bickered all the way to the tavern. This time, Reina took the initiative to bring Olga, fearing that if she chose, she might end up in some strange place again, which would be terrible.

After the three entered the tavern, they found a corner seat and ordered some drinks.

"Have you noticed? There seem to be a lot more navy personnel coming and going lately, haven't there?"

"Nonsense, this is the closest island to the Navy's G1 branch. Whenever the Navy takes action in the New World, this is a necessary route, so it's normal for there to be more Navy personnel here!"

Before long, Reina heard the surrounding guests talking about the sudden increase in the number of naval personnel, which made Reina think: Could it be that the navy is making some big move?

"Hey... Reina, do you think the Navy is planning something big against someone?" Olga overheard the conversation and asked Reina in a low voice.

“I don’t know either, but it shouldn’t have anything to do with us!” Reina shook his head and said.

Given his current strength and reputation, if the navy wanted to surround and eliminate him, they could simply send some powerful generals; there was no need to mobilize such a large force.

To be honest, given the Navy's current strength, apart from the already disbanded Rocks Pirates, no other pirate crew would need to do this.

“Wait… the Rocks Pirates? Could it be…” Reina suddenly remembered that after the Rocks Pirates disbanded, the Navy did indeed erase all traces of their existence.

"What? What happened?" Dr. Assie asked in a low voice when he saw Reina's expression.

“Yes! The Navy may have made some deployments targeting the Rocks Pirates!” Reina nodded in response.

"The Rocks Pirates?" Mischi and her father asked curiously.

They had never heard of this name before, so naturally they didn't know.

Reina gave a brief explanation of the Rocks Pirates' strength, which surprised the father and daughter. They hadn't expected there to be such a powerful force on the high seas.

“So after the Rocks Pirates disbanded, the Navy will probably… no, this should be the World Government’s doing, the Navy doesn’t have that much power! So what is the Navy doing gathering so many people now?” As he spoke, Reina overturned his own guess.

"Could it be targeting the members of the Rocks Pirates after their disbandment? Like your older brother Edward Newgate! After all, you were all members of that ship, and now you're rising rapidly. It's quite necessary for the Navy to restrict your development!" Dr. Assie said after thinking for a moment.

“Possibly. Looks like we need to warn our brother! Otherwise, it would be very troublesome if the Navy caught us off guard!” Reina nodded and said.

"Shall we set off now?"

“No, we need to know the Navy’s plans! Otherwise, it’s pointless! Here, you guys wait for me here, I’ll go check out the G1 branch!” Reina said after thinking for a moment.

"No, it's too dangerous for you to go there. I'll go instead. I'm not a pirate or a wanted criminal, the Navy won't notice me!" Dr. Asie shook his head and said.

“No, it’s too dangerous!” Reina refused.

“Hey! Why don’t we go together? Reina, you can hide while Father and the others go out to gather information. If anything happens, you can come to our rescue quickly!” Olga said directly.

Reiner and Dr. Assie looked at each other and agreed to Olga's plan, which was indeed a win-win solution.

After purchasing some supplies, the three returned to the pirate ship. After some minor modifications by Reina and the lowering of the pirate flag, they openly headed to the G1 branch.
