Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

After finding an opportunity to slip away from Navy Headquarters, Reyner headed towards Enies Lobby.

Over there, after changing to a different meeting room, Sengoku felt increasingly uneasy. The naval soldier from earlier shouldn't have fainted from the aftershocks. If he had, he would definitely have had injuries, since all the naval soldiers standing next to him were injured, while he was completely unharmed.

However, there were exceptions where the other side was exceptionally lucky, so Sengoku did not voice his doubts. Instead, he found a soldier and, under the pretext of visiting the wounded soldiers, went to check on their injuries.

However, when the soldiers who had been there returned to report, they told Sengoku that the soldier who had been unconscious had immediately recovered. It was said that the man was a member of the intelligence unit and had just returned from a rotation.

"No, there haven't been any intelligence officers returning to relieve us recently! Quick, find that person right now!" After hearing the report, Sengoku immediately knew that the other party could not be a member of the Navy, because he personally managed the intelligence department and was the one who knew best whether anyone had returned.

Sengoku felt powerless at the thought that his plans against Whitebeard and Reyner were at risk of being leaked before they could even be implemented.

Although he didn't know who the person was, the fact that the other person ran away immediately meant that they must have wanted to leak the information.

Once this news leaks out, it will be impossible for them to target the Whitebeard Pirates anymore, because Reina isn't that stupid to jump into a trap knowing it's there.

“Now that things have come to this, Sengoku, send Weevil out immediately! Didn’t we already analyze it before? Zephyr is very likely on Enies Lobby, so let Weevil lure him out. Maybe we can even lure Reina out before the information leaks!” Vice Admiral Tsuru said immediately after hearing Sengoku’s words.

"That's all we can do now! Aokiji, take Weevil with you! Tsuru, I'm leaving the Shichibukai situation to you!" Sengoku was a decisive man; since things had come to this, they had no choice but to move forward with their plan.

If they can capture Reina, they will still have time to make arrangements. Otherwise, they can't let the effort to gather the Seven Warlords of the Sea end in vain.

After the tasks were assigned, Aokiji took Weevil and left. They were heading towards Enies Lobby first. Sengoku immediately spread the word that the meeting had ended and told the Seven Warlords to leave.

The purpose was to lure Zephyr out first and then inform Reina, who was hiding somewhere, that Zephyr might make a move.

Chapter 452 Zephyr Appears

"Tsk tsk tsk... the construction speed of Enies Lobby is quite fast~" Looking at Enies Lobby, which was originally a ruin, being rebuilt bit by bit, Reina sighed and said, "But... where exactly is old man Zeff hiding?"

At this time, Reina was unaware that the Navy had discovered the possibility of an intelligence leak, so they moved up the schedule.

However, he set off before the Navy, and his hard shell made him very fast, so when he arrived at Enies Lobby, the Navy had not yet set sail.

"Come on, come on! Didn't we say we were going to fight? Why aren't we leaving yet!" At the port of Marineford, Weevil stood on the deck of a warship and urged Kizaru beside him.

“Good son, don’t worry, the Navy still needs to spread our message so that those bad guys will fall for it!” Miss Bakkin, who had reunited with Weevil, said with a sly laugh.

"This is really strange~~ Isn't this Aokiji's mission? How did I suddenly end up here?" Kizaru ignored the mother and son, and instead looked in the direction of Marineford, muttering to himself with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, Lord Borsalino! Because Admiral Kuzan has another mission, Fleet Admiral Sengoku has asked you to escort Shichibukai Edward Weevil away!" The naval officer beside him quickly saluted Kizaru and explained again.

Actually, he had already explained it once when he sent Kizaru, but since the Admiral had asked, it wouldn't hurt for him to explain it again.

"Alright then! When do we set off?" Kizaru asked the officer.

“We need to wait for news from Marshal Sengoku, and you need to hide on the way!” the officer replied.

"Ah~~ I understand. Then I'll leave this to you. I'm going to rest in my cabin!" Kizaru smiled and walked towards the cabin.

Before long, the navy on board received Sengoku's order to head directly towards Enies Lobby.

Meanwhile, Reina, who was still wandering around Enies Lobby, had not found any trace of Zefa.

"Where did that old man... hide? He's such a headache!" Reina had almost searched the entire Enies Lobby, but still couldn't find any trace of Zephyr.

However, since Zephyr dared to hide here, he must not be easily found, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to come here.

At this moment, in the basement below the former courthouse on Judicial Island, Zephyr was resting against the wall, not in very good condition.

He had been seriously injured while trying to seize something important, and without receiving medical treatment, he came directly here.

Fortunately, as a former admiral, he knew that there was a basement beneath the courthouse on Enies Lobby; otherwise, he wouldn't even have a place to hide.

"Beep~~~Buzz~~~ Requesting the opening of the Gates of Justice! This is the warship escorting Shichibukai Edward Weevil! Buzz~~"

"Received. Open the Gates of Justice immediately!"

A Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly opened its eyes, and then a conversation between naval personnel came through.

Upon hearing this, Zephyr, who had been keeping his eyes closed, immediately opened them, a slight smile playing on his lips, and whispered, "Finally here!"

Just as Zephyr was making preparations, Reina on Enies Lobby also discovered that the Gate of Justice had opened a crack.

"Huh? Looks like we've been discovered. As expected of Sengoku... he's devised a new plan so quickly! But you'd never guess that the one who overheard your news... would be me! Hehehe... It seems this time... I can only watch from the sidelines!" Seeing the Gates of Justice open, Reina instantly knew what the Navy was up to.

They were definitely worried about information leaks, so they brought forward their plan and used Zephyr to lure them out.

However, they never expected that the one eavesdropping was actually Reina himself. So if Reina couldn't find Zefa before the war started... he would have no choice but to abandon him, since he couldn't put himself in danger.

Otherwise, the entire Whitebeard Pirates would be in danger.

He didn't want another Marineford War, especially with himself captured.

So if he can't find Zephyr before the war starts, he'll just have to watch him get beaten up by the Marines!

But time is running out, and Reina has no idea where Zephyr is.

Seeing that the warships were already heading towards Enies Lobby, Reina could only sigh and hide himself.

He knew without even looking that there must be powerful naval personnel around the warship, and if he were discovered, things would really be bad.

After all, the Navy came for him this time, so as long as he doesn't show up, they definitely won't make things too difficult for Zephyr.

"Boom!"

Just as Reina was still thinking, a sudden artillery barrage from Enies Lobby struck the warship carrying Weevil.

"Enemy attack~~~" The shells missed the warship, but instead alerted the navy.

"That idiot... he's not thinking of taking them out with artillery fire, is he?" Without a doubt, Reina knew that this was definitely Zephyr's doing.

But he was utterly baffled by the use of artillery.

As everyone knows, the cannons and guns in the One Piece world are just for laughs; they never hit anyone. Only when one side is already defeated will the cannons deliver a fatal blow, giving the final burial.

But before Renato could think of anything, Zephyr roared, "Borsalino! It's you here? Looks like you already know what I'm doing here?"

"Zeff-sensei... surrender! Your plan will not succeed!" Kizaru transformed into a beam of light and appeared directly on the sail of the warship, speaking to Zeff on Enies Lobby.

"Hahaha... Kid, it's too early to say that. Let that guy Weevil come out!" Zephyr narrowed his eyes and laughed loudly.

Kizaru had already received Sengoku's orders to delay Zephyr as much as possible and wait for Reina to appear, so he gave Miss Bakkin a wink below and stood still.

“Good boy, it’s our turn to step in!” Miss Bakkin chuckled, patted Weevil’s bottom, and said.

"Mom, are we going to beat up that old man? Watch me chop him up!" Weevil, holding a large knife, asked Zepha.

“No, no, no… good son, you just need to stand here. If he comes over, you can hit him then! Just listen to your mother’s orders! Hehehe…” Miss Bakkin said with a smile.

“Okay, I understand, Mom!” Upon hearing this, Weevil nodded and stood on the ship’s side on the deck.

“Edward Weevil… It’s so good to see you again!” Zephyr’s aura immediately burst forth upon seeing the other party.

"Mom, who is this old man? He seems to know us!" Weevil asked with a surprised look as he looked at the angry Zephyr.

"Hahaha... They don't even remember me! That's great! That's wonderful!" Zefa didn't bother with any more words, and with a leap, he charged towards the warship.

"Holy crap! Is old man Zephyr really that reckless? He knew Kizaru was there and still rushed over there?" Reina, who was observing from the shadows, was extremely puzzled when he saw Zephyr rush over directly.

He should know that he is no match for his disciple.

Moreover, there was also Weevil on the ship who had defeated him before. What kind of trump card did he have to dare to be so bold?

Seeing Zephyr heading in his direction, Weevil had already raised his large sword to counterattack, but Kizaru blocked Zephyr first.

“Teacher…you have no chance of winning, why bother?” Kizaru sighed and said.

"Hehe... When did you learn to care about me? Borsalino!" Zeffa struck Kizaru with his mechanical arm.

His mechanical arm is equipped with Seastone, which can counter Kizaru's Logia-type abilities.

However, as an admiral, Kizaru would not be easily hit by Zephyr, and his purpose was to buy time, so he only defended and did not counterattack.

"Why not attack? Defense isn't your strong suit!" Zephyr asked as he attacked.

Every time he tried to break free from Kizaru and attack Weevil, Kizaru would block him. The rest of the time, Kizaru would just wander around him, seemingly without any intention of fighting.

"I just couldn't bear to see my teacher die at the hands of pirates!" Kizaru chuckled and replied.

"You think you can kill me?" Zephyr said, suddenly raising his right arm and firing directly at Kizaru.

His mechanical right arm was also equipped with a machine gun-like weapon, and the bullets were made of Seastone, so Kizaru had to dodge the bullets.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zephyr launched an attack on Weevil.

“Hehehe...good son...kill him!” Miss Bakkin, standing next to Weevil, pointed at Zefa and said to Weevil.

"Alright! Watch me!" Upon hearing this, Weevil swung his greatsword and attacked Zephyr.

Seeing this, Kizaru had no choice but to stop. If he and Weevil attacked Zephyr together, Zephyr would probably be defeated even faster.

“If you don’t push him a little, you won’t achieve your goal!” Miss Bakkin seemed to know something, so she explained to Kizaru.

Kizaru shrugged and said softly, "You should know the consequences if you mess up our plans!"

"Hehehehe... Don't worry, there won't be any problems! Good son, remember not to kill the other person!" Miss Bakkin said with a strange laugh as she instructed Weevil.

"I know, Mom! But this old man is quite strong!" Weevil said as he attacked.

In contrast, Zephyr was forced into a defensive position after his encounter with Weevil, unable to launch any offensive attacks.

"Plan? Borsalino... what exactly are you planning?" After being cleaved away by Weevil's sword, Zephyr immediately got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and asked.

"Zeff-sensei... Do you really think we need to send me to deal with you? You can't handle just Weevil!" Kizaru said with a light laugh.

Chapter 453 Zephyr's Battle

"Looks like you're planning to use me against someone!" Zephyr removed his sunglasses and said softly, "But you'll only be disappointed. This time I'm not cooperating with anyone; I'm all alone!"

"No, no, no... Zephyr-sensei! Some people... sometimes... might just pop up on their own!" Kizaru said with a lewd expression.

Zefa's expression changed. He thought of a possibility: his two disciples, Ain and Binz.

Of course, he didn't believe that the Navy had sent out even an admiral just for his two disciples, but rather for the people who could help his two disciples—the Whitebeard Pirates.

He deliberately let Ain and Binz be captured by Reina, which was actually a way to get Reina to take care of his two disciples.

However, it is very likely that Reina has been asked by his two disciples to find him, and that the Navy has learned of his whereabouts and purpose. Therefore, the Navy has set a trap to use him to capture Reina.

“Originally… I was planning to use this thing last! Hehe… but it seems I have to use it sooner rather than later!” After thinking it through, Zefa took something out of his pocket and said with a light laugh.

"DYNA Rock? How did you get this?" Upon seeing what Zephyr held in his hand, Kizaru's expression changed, and he stopped joking and became serious.

As the commander of the Navy's scientific research unit, Kizaru naturally recognized the DYNA Rock in Zephyr's hand.
