Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"What else could he do but leave? Attack Kaido's lair? Kaido clearly doesn't want to get involved in this, so Shanks naturally withdrew after he got the result!" Whitebeard shook his head and said.

"Brother...something's not right! When did Kaido become so easy to talk to?" Reina frowned and said, "He's probably busy with something else right now, otherwise he definitely wouldn't do this!"

"You mean he's busy with some other plan?" Whitebeard asked, surprised.

He had thought about it before, but there was no information indicating that Kaido's Beasts Pirates had gathered. Moreover, being provoked by the Red-Haired Pirates seemed to be a more serious matter no matter how you looked at it!

“Given Kaido’s personality, even if he were alone, he would still go and cause trouble for Shanks, but now he’s only sending Jack out as a symbolic gesture… something’s not right!” Reina nodded and said.

Chapter 449 Xia Qi's Test

"So you mean...?" Whitebeard looked at Reiner and asked.

"Should we send someone to take a look?" Reina suggested.

Whitebeard considered it for a moment but did not agree, because if Kaido wanted to do something, it would be too late for them to get there now.

"Dad, Reina!" Just then, Vista came over with a strange look on his face and called out to the two of them, "Look at this!"

"What is this?" Reina took the information handed to him by Vista, gave it to Whitebeard first, and then asked Vista.

"Two things! First, the Navy has summoned the Seven Warlords of the Sea! Second... Kaido appeared alone at the Red-Haired Pirates' hideout, caused a huge disturbance, and then left!" Bistan briefly recounted the events.

"He actually went all the way to their lair by himself. Is that guy... serious?" Reina shook his head and replied, rubbing his forehead.

"Gurararara... It seems Shanks is in for a headache this time!" Whitebeard smiled slightly and said, "As for the Navy... Have you sent someone to find out why they summoned the Seven Warlords?"

“Yes! We’ve already sent people to contact Hancock, Gecko Moria, and Jinbe, but we haven’t received any response yet,” Vista nodded and said.

"Wait...you mean all the Seven Warlords of the Sea have gone?" Reina frowned and asked.

“Yes! According to the intelligence sent by Hancock, the World Government forced them to participate this time. If they didn’t participate… they would be stripped of their title as Shichibukai, so they all went to participate!” Vista nodded and replied.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Whitebeard asked curiously when he saw Reiner deep in thought.

"If all the Seven Warlords of the Sea go, will Weevil, who will replace Crocodile, also go?" Reina asked after thinking for a moment.

"You mean... that guy Zephyr will intercept Weevil halfway?" Whitebeard frowned and asked.

He thought Reina's guess made a lot of sense. If Zefa also learned of this news, he would definitely go to confront Weevil and fight him to the death!

"That's right! Big brother... I want to..."

“Go! But be careful not to overdo it! Right now, you’re a big threat in the eyes of the Navy!” Whitebeard nodded and said.

“How about… I go with you!” Bistan said from the side. “You’ll probably only be able to find him around the Navy Headquarters this time. If the Navy finds you, it’ll be troublesome. If I’m there, I can help you!”

“No need! It’s more convenient for me to do it myself. I’ll have Liuliu accompany the Moby Dick, and Liuliu will notify you if needed!” Reina shook his head and said.

"Why don't you go to Crescent Moon Island and take Marco with you?" Whitebeard said to Reina, seemingly a little worried.

“No need, Marco is newly married, it wouldn’t be good to take him to battle! I’d rather he have a little Marco soon!” Reina said with a smile and a shake of his head.

“Little Marco? Gurarara… You’re right! Well then, be careful, and if anything goes wrong, have Ryu bring us back!” Whitebeard nodded and said.

So Reina made attempts to contact Hancock and Jinbe while heading toward Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.

However, no matter how he tried to contact them, he couldn't reach Jinbe or Hancock, and he even tried to contact Gecko Moria, but he couldn't reach them at all.

"Looks like the Navy has blocked the signal!" Robin, who was at sea with Reina, said softly.

Using her own adventure as an excuse, she followed Reina and asked him to take her to the Sabaody Archipelago, where she would wait for Luffy to return after completing his training, and also learn how to gather intelligence from Aunt Natsumi.

After all, she was the Straw Hat crew's intelligence expert.

Unable to argue with her, Reina then brought Robin along.

Not long after, Reina, who was still on his way, received news that Shanks and the Beasts Pirates had started fighting again, and the Moby Dick was heading at full speed to the sea where they were fighting.

Reina put down the intelligence report in his hand and said with a smile, "It seems that Big Brother is determined to repay this favor!"

"Hehe... what Dad hates most is owing favors to others!" Robin said with a laugh, covering his mouth.

“It’s not just our eldest brother who’s afraid! People at our level are afraid! If they can’t solve something, it’s not easy for us to solve either!” Reina sighed and said.

Robin smiled but didn't say anything, because she knew Luffy wasn't afraid!

Because whatever Luffy wants to do, he will definitely do it, no matter how big the opponent is, he will always be able to defeat them.

However, she also knew that it would be wrong to say this aloud, so she only thought about it in her mind and did not discuss the issue with Reina.

A few days later, the two arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Hey~ Sister Xiaqi! Alone again?" Pushing open Aunt Xia's shop, Reina saw Xiaqi wiping glasses at the bar and teased her with a smile.

"You brat, what are you doing here again? Rayleigh isn't here, go somewhere else if you're looking for him!" Shakky couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw Reina.

"Hahaha... I didn't come here to see him this time!" Reina found a seat, pointed to Robin behind him, and said, "I brought her here!"

"Hehehe... So it's little Robin! It's good that you're back. Little Luffy is on a deserted island receiving training from Rayleigh. If you need to find him, your father can send you there!" Shakky's attitude towards Robin was much better.

“No! I came here to ask Aunt Xia to... let me learn how to gather intelligence by your side!” Robin shook his head and said with a smile.

"Oh?" Shakky was taken aback, not expecting Robin to come looking for her.

Xia Qi glanced at the smug-looking Reina, and a slight smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. She said to him, "Let your daughter study with me? No problem, but..."

Before she could finish speaking, Reina waved his hand, and a shiny round bead landed in Shakky's hand.

"Wow~ such a big pearl is rare! You didn't raid Fishman Island, did you? I heard something big happened there recently! Looks like you're involved!" Xia Qi's eyes lit up and she immediately asked with a smile.

“Ask Robin, she knows everything!” Reina smiled slightly and replied, “If you’ve accepted my gift, you should teach me properly! Otherwise… hmph… I’ll tear down your shady business sooner or later!”

"Hehehe... I knew you weren't happy with my little shop!" Shakky chuckled, walked over to Robin, and said, "Gathering intelligence isn't something you can learn easily! Are you sure?"

"Yes! I will try my best!" Robin nodded and replied.

"Then when the time comes... you can't be stingy, kid. Since you're going to learn from me, you naturally have to listen to everything I say... Is that alright?" Xia Qi looked at Reina and asked seriously.

Reina's lips twitched, but seeing Robin's expression, he could only sigh and say, "Sigh~ I understand! I won't interfere anymore now that it's in your hands!"

“Very well! Now you can get lost!” Shakky pointed towards the door and said to Reina.

"No way~ Sister Xiaqi! We've been friends for so many years, and you've come to visit, and you don't even have a glass of water?" Reina sat shamelessly on the stool, showing no sign of getting up.

“Look at this… now that’s what you call shameless! This guy definitely needs something from me, otherwise… hmph…” Shakky pointed at Reina and said to Robin, “So you should be more careful about who you judge people in the future!”

Reina's face darkened, and he retorted, "What's wrong with me? Is it really impossible to please you?"

"Flattering me is no problem... but if you're so capable, then don't ask me for any information today!" Shakky took a drag of her cigarette and said to Reina with a smile.

Reina's face stiffened. He really needed to get information from Shakky today. First, he needed to find Zephyr's whereabouts, and second, he needed to find out why the Seven Warlords of the Sea had been summoned.

He suspected the Navy was targeting him.

Joking aside, Shakky eventually gave Reina all the information he needed. First, regarding Zephyr, there was indeed information that he had seen him at Marineford, but Zephyr hadn't gone to Marineford, and Weevil had already entered Marineford. Therefore, Reina's guess that Zephyr wanted to ambush Weevil was no longer valid.

Secondly, there's the reason why the Seven Warlords of the Sea have gathered at Marineford, but there's no news about that for the time being.

"That's really strange... why didn't that old man Zephyr make a move against Weevil?" Reina was extremely surprised after hearing Shakky's information.

"Now I'll test you... Based on the information you have now, tell me why you think Zephyr didn't take action against Weevil!" Shakky handed a document to Robin and asked with a smile.

"Oh? It's starting already? Perfect, I'll listen in too!" Reina said with a slight smile.

Robin carefully examined the documents Shakky handed her, then looked up and said, "I think the answers are all warships!"

"A warship?" Reina and Shakky both looked at Robin with some surprise.

“That’s right. I remember Father saying that although Zephyr left the Navy first, he dedicated his whole life to it. That’s why he didn’t attack Weevil when he was picked up by a warship. He didn’t want to accidentally hurt the Navy soldiers!” Robin nodded and replied.

"Hahaha...that makes some sense!" Reina nodded, smiling in agreement.

“You’re analyzing him based on his personality, and I can’t say you’re wrong, but take a look at the intelligence as well!” Xia Qi said with a smile.

"Please take a look at the report?" Robin was slightly taken aback, and looked at the intelligence report in his hand again with surprise.

But after looking at it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out.

"Did you notice this? There are routes taken by the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Take a look around Marineford. What did you find?" Shakky walked over and guided Robin in analyzing the hidden information not mentioned in the intelligence report.

"So... do you know where Zephyr is hiding? He can't stay on the sea forever; he needs to find a place to hide!" After saying that, Shakky asked another question.

“It’s here… Enies Lobby!” Robin quickly gave the answer this time.

"That's right. Enies Lobby is basically in ruins after the great war, but its geographical location is very important, so neither the Navy nor the World Government can easily give it up! Rebuilding Enies Lobby... requires a large number of workers, which gives those with ulterior motives an opportunity. Zephyr should be one of them!"

"So, in terms of the route, Weevil came from the wrong direction at all, which is why Zephyr didn't make a move!" Robin said thoughtfully.

“That’s right! Now that he’s left the navy, he won’t hold back because of those soldiers! These heroes who roamed the seas in their early years are quite capable of taking things on and letting them go!” Xia Qi nodded in satisfaction and said.

Chapter 450 The Seven Warlords Gather

Although Robin was able to analyze more information with Shakky's help, Shakky was already quite satisfied.

At least Robin can apply what she's learned to other situations, and her thinking is quite clear. It's just that she doesn't have the keen insight that an intelligence agent should have right now, but that's okay. She believes that with her training, Robin will soon have that quality.

After handing Robin over to Shakky, Reina began to consider his next move.

He originally wanted to find old man Zefa, but he knew that Zefa wouldn't listen to his advice at this critical juncture, so Reina rejected the idea outright.

Looking at Mary Geoise behind the Sabaody Archipelago, Reyna suddenly had a good idea.

After obtaining a false identity from Shakky, Reina disguised himself slightly and headed openly towards Mary Geoise.

To be honest, Reina was quite puzzled. People in the pirate world could hardly see through disguises, even simple ones.

After being made up like that, he swaggered into Mary Geoise without being stopped at all.

Finding a secluded corner, and dressed in naval attire, Reina traveled directly from Mary Geoise to Marineford, the naval headquarters.

"Hey... I never thought I'd actually be in Marineford one day!" Reina, dressed in his navy uniform, walked confidently through the square of Marineford.

He found that the management here was not very strict. Although there were many naval soldiers coming and going around, no one paid any attention to him.

"Hey, you soldier over there!" Just as Reina was feeling smug, a naval officer wearing a cloak of justice called out to him.

"Yes, sir!" Reina quickly saluted the petty officer, just like a regular navy officer.

"Which unit are you from? Never mind, you come with me now, I need manpower there! And you, you, you! All of you come with me!" The naval officer originally wanted to ask something, but after checking the time, he seemed to realize it was rather urgent, so he directly ordered Reina and the surrounding naval soldiers to follow him.

Although Reina didn't want to go, he couldn't refuse outright at this point, so he had no choice but to follow the other naval officers toward the building with the word "Navy" engraved on it.

When Reina arrived at the destination, he discovered that it was a meeting place for high-ranking naval officers and the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the meeting room was completely silent.
