Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

“You can call me Naga… because I should be the last Naga in this world!” Naga sighed and said.

“Alright, then Naga, you can leave the sea, right? Come with me to the Moby Dick!” Reina nodded and said.

"Didn't you say you'd let me leave after I broke free of their control spells?" Naga clearly didn't want to go with Reina.

“First, I need to go up and confirm if Shark Star is safe. Second… I can’t completely trust what you said about the Naga race!” Reina said directly, “So I can’t let you leave now!”

"Don't worry, I've already broken the control spell cast on that mermaid royal family! I have no reason to lie to you!" Naga said softly.

“If Shark Star is alright, then I guarantee you will be alright too! How about it?” Reina nodded and said.

Naga glanced at Reina, sighed, and said, "Let's go! I hope you'll keep your promise!"

"Don't worry, I, Reina, always keep my word!" Reina nodded and said with a smile.

So, leaving a few members of the Fishman Pirates to help appease the Tiger Fishmen, Reina, along with Jinbe and Namur, returned directly to the Moby Dick.

When Reina brought Naga back to the Moby Dick, he confirmed that Shark Star was alright, even though he was still tied up on the deck.

"Alright, untie Shark Star! He's fine now!" Reina said with a smile, looking at Shark Star's innocent-looking big eyes.

"Huh? Are you really alright? This kid was acting like a madman, trying to attack us!" Lakyo asked with a smile, surprised.

"Okay, let's untie it first! I'll explain everything to my brother when we get there!" Reina shook his head and said.

Upon hearing Reina's words, crew members immediately stepped forward and released Shark Star.

"Mr. Reina... what exactly is going on?" Shark Star glanced at Naga, who was following behind Reina, and asked Reina.

"Come and listen too! As for the final result, just do what you think is right!" Reina patted Shark Star on the shoulder and walked towards the white-bearded man on the deck.

Whitebeard had already seen Reyna return, and he also saw Naga behind him, but he wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he waited for Reyna to come over and explain things to him.

Soon, in front of everyone, Reina made Naga repeat the story again.

"That's impossible! What evidence do you have to prove what you're saying?" Shark Star couldn't believe that his ancestors had ever done such a thing, so he immediately stood up to object after Naga finished speaking.

"Hmph, this is how the royal family of Fishman Island is... They don't even dare to admit what they've done?" Naga chuckled and said.

She's gone all out now; things have come to this point, and it would be easy for Reina to kill her.

"You don't need to be so sarcastic! First of all, you say you are a Naga, how do you prove it?" Shark Star asked angrily.

"Proof? What a joke. I am a Naga, that's all. What need is there for proof? How can you prove you are a mermaid?" The Naga chuckled and said disdainfully.

Naga's words stunned everyone.

Yes! They know about Shark Star because everyone has a basic understanding of fishmen or mermaids, but as for Naga, including Reina and Shark Star, many people don't know anything about them or have never even heard of them, so they don't have a clear concept of what Naga actually look like.

“I don’t know what a Naga should look like!” Shark Star replied, head bowed.

Naga was taken aback, then looked at Shark Star and asked, "You don't know? As the royalty of Fishman Island, you don't even know what we Nagas look like?"

Shark Star nodded and said, "If Mr. Reina and the others hadn't informed us, I wouldn't have known that the Naga race even existed!"

"Hehehe... So... you've already forgotten us!" Naga seemed to have lost her previous hostility towards Shark Star, and said with a hint of melancholy.

Chapter 437 Contract

Seeing the other person's dejected look, Shark Star suddenly felt... that the other person might not be lying.

“Father! Mr. Reina! I want to take her back to Fishman Island! I can’t tell if what she said is true or false, so I want to take her back to see Father!” Shark Star said after a moment of silence.

“Shark Star, I promised her that if she lifted your control spell, I would save her life!” Reina shook his head and said.

“Mr. Reina, don’t worry… no matter what happens, I promise you I will never hurt her!” Shark Star said earnestly.

“The problem is… she can control you fishmen and mermaids…” Reina shrugged and replied.

Shark Star was taken aback, then looked at Reina with some embarrassment.

Reina shrugged and said, "Don't look at me, see if she agrees!"

Shark Star nodded, walked up to Naga, and said, "I don't know if what you said is true, but do you dare to come with me to Fishman Island to verify it?"

"Proof? Heh... Even if it's proven, so what? Will my brethren be resurrected?" Naga said with a light laugh.

Her words left Shark Star speechless, but he didn't believe that things were really as Naga said, that Fishman Island had slaughtered all of its own kind.

Yes, although he wasn't sure if the Naga in front of him was real, judging from her appearance, she was clearly a member of the merfolk.

“Alright, Shark Star… since she’s unwilling, go back and ask your father yourself! If what she said is true, then you can see how to make it up to her! After all, what’s done is done! If she’s lying… then it doesn’t matter, anyway, she let you go once, I’ll let her go once, we’re even!” Reina patted Shark Star on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Heh... Lie? Fine, you want to see for yourself? I agree to go back to Fishman Island with you. I want to see... what kind of magnanimity the current royal family has. At worst, it's just death!" Naga chuckled after hearing Reina's words and said directly.

“Alright! In that case, let’s set off immediately!” Shark Star nodded and said directly.

"Are you sure? What if she controls you and tries to escape halfway through? That would be troublesome!" Reina looked at Shark Star and asked.

"She dared to come to Fishman Island with me, so what am I afraid of?" Shark Star said firmly. "Besides, with Brother Jinbe along the way, even if she wanted to make a move, it probably wouldn't be easy for her!"

Jinbe, who was standing nearby, nodded and said, "I will remain vigilant at all times!"

"Gurararara... Since you've both made a promise... then... I'll be your witness!" Whitebeard, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly said, "If either of you breaks the promise... then you will be hunted down by the Whitebeard Pirates! How about it?"

“Okay!” Naga nodded in agreement without even thinking.

“I have no problem either!” Shark Star nodded and said.

“Alright! Since my elder brother has spoken, then Naga, you will accompany Shark Star back to Fishman Island to verify the mystery of Naga's disappearance years ago. You are not allowed to attack any fishmen or mermaids along the way! Furthermore, Shark Star, you must guarantee Naga's safety on Fishman Island, ensuring she can leave safely and smoothly after completing her verification…” Reina repeated the agreement, then asked the two:

"If either of you violates the agreement, you will be hunted down by the entire Whitebeard Pirates! So... any objections?"

“No, I agree!” Naga and Shark Star nodded in unison.

“Alright, since you all agree, then don’t underestimate the Whitebeard Pirates’ kill order! No matter where you hide, as long as you break the contract, we will find you, kill you, and fulfill the contract! Even if you are merfolk, we can still find you!” Reina said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Reina, I understand that perfectly well!" Shark Star nodded and said.

Naga nodded. She had witnessed Reina's strength when they were underwater. Although there might have been some mistakes, it still prevented her from acting recklessly.

Because even the terrifying Reina wasn't the strongest member of the Whitebeard Pirates; the one sitting there without saying a word was actually their captain!

"Very good! Then Jinbe, I'll leave them to you!" Reina said directly to Jinbe, who was standing to the side.

“Leave it to me!” Jinbe nodded and replied.

After they had all set off, Reina said to Whitebeard, "Big brother, should we send someone to follow them?"

"What? You don't believe that Naga?" Whitebeard smiled slightly and asked, "Or did you see something?"

“Nothing?” Reina shook his head and said, “I didn’t see anything, but… I looked up some information about the Naga race before, and the legends don’t speak well of them!”

"Now that the contract has been made, let's follow the rules! No one can ignore the Whitebeard Pirates' kill order. Even if the Naga clan has declined, or even if she were at her peak, if she dared to cause trouble, I would still destroy her!" Whitebeard said domineeringly.

Reina shrugged and said, "Since Big Brother has said so, let's do it this way! I never expected to encounter such a legendary race on this trip!"

"Gurara... The ocean is vast!" the white-bearded man said with a laugh.

“Yes! I don’t know when it started, but I seem to have lost interest in the sea…” Reina sighed and said.

He wasn't from this world, and he didn't yearn for the sea that much; he preferred a peaceful life!

Over the years, he has continuously improved his strength in order to protect himself and avoid being killed by the powerful figures in the One Piece world.

But as time went by, he sometimes forgot that he wasn't from this world and began to slowly get used to it.

"Don't let stability erode your will. When you settle down, that's when you stop moving forward! Kid, in our position, to stop moving forward... is to give up everything!" the white-bearded man said softly.

“Yes!” Reina nodded in agreement.

Roger's crew is the best proof. After Roger disbanded the Roger Pirates, most of his crew members essentially gave up everything and went into hiding, changing their names and living in seclusion.

Even someone as powerful as Rayleigh is content with his limited life in a remote corner. If the Navy didn't want to touch him, he would never be so carefree.

“So… I was thinking… maybe the sea has been too calm lately!” Reina smiled and looked at Whitebeard.

"Kid, what mischief are you up to now?" the white-bearded man asked, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

He's not afraid of Reina causing trouble now. He had a big battle with the Navy before, which was a test of the Navy's bottom line and a warning to them.

Therefore, the navy is unlikely to take action against them again unless they are 100% certain of success.

So as long as they don't provoke the navy now, there's no problem!

"Brother, don't you think... things are too quiet among the Four Emperors right now?" Reina asked with a strange laugh.

"You want to start a war between the Four Emperors?" Whitebeard asked, his eyes narrowing.

“The Four Emperors…shouldn’t there be a leader?” Reina nodded and said.

“I’m not interested in that kind of thing!” Whitebeard shook his head and said.

Reina smiled helplessly, then looked at Whitebeard and said, "I knew Big Brother wouldn't be interested, but... didn't I run into Shiki the other day? He's probably planning something big lately!"

"Hmm? You want to team up with him?" Whitebeard asked in surprise.

"No... I just want to watch the show! And once he makes a move, the Navy's attention will definitely be drawn to him... then we can do what we want!" Reina said with a smile.

"So?" Whitebeard turned his head to look at Reina and asked.

“Since you’re not interested in my previous suggestion, brother… let’s go rob someone!” Reina raised an eyebrow and said.

"Oh? Robbery? I like that... Tell me more!" Lacjoo, who had been chatting with Vista, immediately said happily after hearing Reina's words.

“You’re everywhere!” Reina glared at him and replied.

"Hehe... How could I miss out on such a great opportunity as robbery?" Laqué said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.

"You're not planning to rob the other Four Emperors, are you?!" Whitebeard seemed to know what Reyner wanted to say and asked directly.

“Of course, we’ll rob the richest ones; we don’t even look at the rest!” Reina said with a smile.

Lacjo didn't say anything, but simply gave Reina a thumbs up. However, Vista slapped him on the shoulder and said, "Don't make a scene. The battle between the Four Emperors is no joke!"

"So you really want to take action against someone? Tell me! Who has offended you?" Whitebeard asked, seeing that Reyna had gone around in circles and was still targeting the other four emperors.

"Red-haired... Shanks!"

"Ok?"

Reina's words surprised everyone around him. They thought Reina's target would be Charlotte Linlin or Kaido, but they didn't expect Reina to mention Shanks.

Among the Four Emperors, they appear to be fighting their own battles, but in reality, the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates maintain a tacit alliance regarding their dealings with the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Red-Haired Pirates, on the other hand, were more often on their side.
