Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Those were weapons secretly researched by the Navy. They were incredibly powerful, even said to be comparable to the three great weapons of antiquity, but there weren't many of them, and they should all be being carefully preserved on some small island.

"Hahaha... It seems you should know what this is by now! To tell you the truth, I've already laid a lot of DYNA Rocks on Enies Lobby! At this distance... Borsalino, even you would have a hard time avoiding being affected, right?" Zeffa said with a loud laugh.

“Zeff-sensei…it seems you really have gone mad. Do you know the consequences of doing this? Enies Lobby is so close to the Gates of Justice. If you detonate it, even the Gates of Justice will be affected! Is this the result you want?” Kizaru glanced at the DYNA Rock in Zeff’s hand with considerable apprehension and said softly.

As expected, Zephyr's expression changed upon hearing Kizaru's words; he didn't want things to turn out this way either.

"Hand him over to me, and I'll leave immediately!" Zefa said after a moment of silence.

Upon hearing Zephyr's conditions, Kizaru secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Zephyr didn't intend to detonate it; he only intended to use it to threaten him.

“Zeff, you know this is impossible!” Kizaru shook his head and said.

As he spoke, he sent messages to the people lying in ambush. There was no other way; things had taken an unexpected turn, and if they didn't resolve the DYNA Rock issue now, their navy would definitely suffer heavy losses.

"Is that so...then let's go to hell together!"

Ice Age!

Zephyr was about to detonate the DYNA rock when Aokiji, who was hiding nearby, suddenly struck and froze everything around them.

"So they really came for Reina? Even Kuzan is here?" Zephyr smiled slightly. Now that the Navy's ambush forces have appeared, even if Reina were here, he probably wouldn't come out.

“Mr. Zephyr…you’re really wrong this time!” Aokiji slowly walked out, freezing everything around him, and said to Zephyr.

"Is that so? I've never been able to distinguish right from wrong in my entire life, and now you're telling me... I was wrong?" Zephyr ignored the place frozen by Aokiji and looked at Aokiji, asking.

“Yes, Master… I know you were right about what happened before, but I was powerless to stop it! Before he became a Shichibukai, I went to find him, but I encountered Reiner!” Aokiji pointed at Weevil and said, “But now… Reiner and the Whitebeard Pirates have the power to threaten the world! We must eliminate them!”

"So... you're using me?" Zephyr chuckled and asked.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku said he wouldn't harm you! In fact, you can come back to the Navy anytime if you wish!" Aokiji said after a moment of silence.

“Fufufufu… Why bother arguing with him? It’s obvious our ambush failed! Once Reina sees us, he’ll never show his face again!” Doflamingo, wearing a pink feather coat, emerged from his hiding place and said.

"One, two, three, four, five, six! Except for Jinbe, all the Seven Warlords of the Sea are here! Plus two Marine Admirals... This kind of strength... is enough to take on the Whitebeard Pirates, right? You're telling me it's just for Reina?" Zephyr looked at the remaining Seven Warlords of the Sea who were slowly appearing and said with some surprise.

"As you know, our operation against the Whitebeard Pirates failed last time because of Reiner's ability!" Aokiji nodded and said, "That's why we gathered the Seven Warlords this time, just to ensure everything goes smoothly!"

"You want to provoke Whitebeard and then wipe them all out, right? The Navy is going to conquer the New World. The Four Emperors' structure is too stable, but if there are only three Emperors... then the New World will definitely be disrupted, and that will be the Navy's opportunity!" Zephyr finished Aokiji's sentence.

After all, he was once a naval admiral, so he knew the navy's tactics all too well.

"So that's why you said... I was wrong this time! Right, Kuzan!" Zeff looked at Aokiji and asked, "But... don't forget why they're called one of the Four Emperors! Underestimating someone of that level... can be a huge mistake!"

Looking at the silent Aokiji, Zephyr put down the DYNA rock in his hand, then took out his frozen feet and said, "My whole life... has been dedicated to the Navy! But this last time... let me do it for myself! Weevil... prepare to die!"

With a roar, Zephyr charged directly at Weevil on the warship.

Just as Weevil was about to make his move, Kizaru stopped him and said, "Zeff-sensei... as the final opponent... let me handle it!"

"Hahaha... Is this your benevolence, Borsalino!" Zephyr laughed and rushed toward Weevil. He knew he was going to die today, and it didn't matter who killed him. He just wanted to punch Weevil before he died.

"That stubborn old man is so obstinate!" Reina sighed as he hid in the corner, suppressing the urge to leave.

If Zephyr had simply given in, neither Aokiji nor Kizaru would have truly made things difficult for him.

But clearly, Zephyr chose the path he wanted to take.

Like Kizaru, Aokiji also stopped the other Shichibukai who wanted to make a move. As Zephyr's students, they had to give their teacher the final respect.

Therefore, when Aokiji and Kizaru joined forces, Zephyr was quickly defeated.

"Cough cough...Give me a quick death!" Zephyr said, lying in a pool of blood.

Just as Aokiji was about to say something, Kizaru suddenly looked up and shouted, "Reina, I know you're all around! Didn't you claim to be the teacher's confidant? Didn't you want to take Zephyr to Crescent Moon Island? If you don't come out now, you'll miss your chance."

Reina, who was hiding in the corner, was stunned. He didn't expect that Kizaru would pull something like this at a time like this.

But he knew that this was definitely Kizaru's doing, to lure him out.

"Fufufufufu... It seems that the so-called Akame is nothing special!" After hearing Kizaru's shout, no one answered him, and Doflamingo immediately said sarcastically.

Doflamingo has always believed that Reina did something wrong after taking Señor Piqué away and then disappeared. He thinks either Reina imprisoned Señor or Reina killed him.

Otherwise, there would be no news about Isenio Piqué's loyalty to him until now.

So now that there's an opportunity to kick someone when they're down, he naturally won't let it pass.

Even though he said that, Reina still didn't go out. Instead, he slowly retreated, as he was planning to leave.

However, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that in the building under construction not far away, there seemed to be the so-called DYNA rock that Zephyr had been holding.

Although he didn't know what it was, seeing how wary Kizaru was, he decided to get his hands on it.

After carefully obtaining the DYNA Rock, Reina now faces a choice: detonate it in the world or take it back to the Doctor for research.

Ultimately, out of consideration for Hancock and Zephyr, Reina took DYNA Rock and left.

The naval ambush on him ended in failure with Reyner's retreat.

After leaving, Reina did not return to Crescent Moon Island immediately. He felt that he had something more important to do, namely Doflamingo, who had spoken rudely to him before.

If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll really think he's made of clay.

Unlike Reyna, who headed directly towards Dressrosa, the Navy only announced the disbandment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea after taking Zephyr back. They also informed them that Jinbe had been removed from the Seven Warlords and that they would recruit someone to fill the position.

As for Jinbe, who was imprisoned in Impel Down... all I can say is that he felt incredibly unlucky. If he had known this would be the solution, wouldn't it have been better if he had just followed the crowd like Hancock?

Zephyr, who was taken back to Marineford by Aokiji and Kizaru, was also placed under house arrest in Marineford after receiving treatment from the Navy.

Given the trouble he caused, it would have been acceptable to imprison him in the deep-sea prison. However, as former admirals, neither Sengoku nor Vice Admiral Tsuru could bear to see their old comrade-in-arms fall to such a state. Therefore, they announced that Zephyr had died in battle, but in reality, they left Zephyr in Marineford.

Chapter 454 Reina's Revenge

When Doflamingo returned to Dressrosa, he could hardly believe his eyes.

The palace was littered with wounded soldiers, and even the officials were not spared.

"Hey... can someone tell me... what exactly happened? Who is it...?" Doflamingo's forehead was covered in tic-tac-toe marks, his anger was now clearly visible.

“Cough cough… Doflamingo…” Inside the palace, a thin middle-aged man called out to Doflamingo.

He is Trebol, the leader of the Donquixote Family's Plum Blossom Army, the guide who led Doflamingo to the path of the Underworld King.

"Trebol! What on earth happened? Who did this?" Doflamingo quickly stepped forward and asked.

Normally, Trebol uses the slime created by his abilities to cover his true form. Now that he has been forced to reveal his true form, it is clear that the opponent must be extremely powerful.

"Cough cough... It's... it's Akame Reina! He said you said that Akame was nothing special, so he came to show you... whether he's really nothing special!" Torebol coughed a few times, speaking weakly.

"That bastard... I'm going to kill him!" Doflamingo was on the verge of going berserk. All the members he had always regarded as family had been defeated, which made him feel boundless anger.

At this moment, in the palace, apart from Torrepol, the other high-ranking officials were lying on the ground, their fates unknown.

"No! Doflamingo... This is not the time to talk about this... Sugar! Reina took Sugar away!" Trebol grabbed Doflamingo and said anxiously.

"What?" Doflamingo was stunned. The key to his rule over Dressrosa was Sugar's ability. She was a Hobby-Hobby Fruit user. As long as she touched a creature, it would turn into a toy and form a contract with it, making it unable to act freely according to its own thoughts and obeying orders.

People who become toys are erased from other people's memories, just like disappearing from the world. But toys have their own consciousness, their own emotions, and their own memories of their past life.

Doflamingo was able to become the Emperor of Dressrosa by relying on Sugar's abilities to turn his opponents into toys.

However, this ability has a major drawback: as long as the user loses consciousness or loses the ability, the toy will automatically turn back into a human, and the memories of the user will automatically return.

Now that Sugar has been captured by Reina, if Reina puts Seastone handcuffs on Sugar or knocks her unconscious, all the toys will turn back into humans, and the people of Dressrosa will remember what happened.

That would be a disaster for him.

"Where is he now?" Doflamingo asked in a low, deep voice.

"Cough cough... He should have just left Dressrosa, Doflamingo... We must bring Sugar back!" Torrebol finished speaking and then fainted.

Seeing his family members lying dead in the palace, and his most important subordinate being taken away by Reina, Doflamingo sneered and flew directly outside. As a user of the String-String Fruit, he could use his ability to hang on clouds, allowing him to move like Spider-Man.

He was now certain that Reina was hiding there when they attacked Zeffa, but he didn't come out because he had discovered their lineup.

I said something in my attempt to force Reina to come out, and now I'm being retaliated against.

Now he not only hates Reina, but also the Navy, and he hates the Navy for its lack of careful planning, which led Reina to vent his anger on him.

After leaving the palace, Doflamingo quickly took off and looked around. He noticed something in the southeast direction and immediately gave chase.

“Hey… do you think your young master doesn’t want you anymore? It’s been so long, and he still hasn’t come? I came right on time! He should be back in Dressrosa today!” Reina, sitting in a deck chair and drinking red wine, asked Sugar, who was tied to the mast.

Instead of staying on the hard shell, he casually stole a small boat, hung the Whitebeard Pirates' flag on it, and then casually hung the sugar he had stolen on it as well.

"You...you put me down right now, otherwise...otherwise the young master won't let you off the hook!" Sugar said this without much confidence.

She witnessed Reina defeat all the high-ranking officers left behind in Dressrosa. Of course, his methods were not exactly honorable. He first ambushed the top officer, Pica, causing the Stone-Stone Fruit user to collapse to the ground before he could even react.

Then, before anyone could react, they defeated them one by one, eventually wiping out the entire Don Quixote family.

By the time Sugar and Torrepol discovered it, all the cadres had already been piled up in the palace by Reina.

As the guardian of sugar, Torrebol couldn't even last ten minutes against Reina before collapsing to his knees.

So at this moment, Sugar really didn't know whether it would be a good thing or a bad thing if the young master chased after them.

“Not going to let me go? Hahaha… If I were afraid of him… do you think I would have come to Dressrosa?” Reina said with a laugh.

"What...what do you want from me? I...I'm still a child!" Sugar said, feigning weakness.

"Pfft, hahaha... You really think I'm a child? The physical age of a Hobby-Hobby Fruit user is fixed when they eat the fruit, right? Don't you know that?" Reina asked with a strange laugh.

Sugar's expression changed. Reina actually knew that she was a Hobby-Hobby Fruit user. Even within the Donquixote Family, this was a secret known only to the executives.

"How did you know?" Seeing that the other party already knew her secret, Sugar simply stopped pretending and instead planned to extract information from Reina.

“How I know... you don’t need to know!” Reina chuckled and replied.

"I know... So it really is Señor who has betrayed the young master? Damn it!" Sugar said with a grim expression.

Their family possessed Señor's life card, so they naturally knew that Señor was not dead.

But since the other party hasn't returned for so long, they can't help but start to suspect Señor.

"Don't worry... I'm taking you to see him now, aren't I? Once you see him, you'll naturally know why he's not going back to Dressrosa!" Reina deliberately spoke ambiguously, because he had already spotted Doflamingo approaching rapidly.

"So... Señor really did betray us?" Sugar had only guessed before, but Reina's ambiguous words immediately made her misunderstand.

If Reina had directly said that Señor had betrayed them, Sugar might not have believed it. But Reina's words just now didn't say that Señor had betrayed them; he only said that he was on Crescent Moon Island. So Sugar could be sure. If he hadn't joined the Whitebeard Pirates, how could an outsider stay on Crescent Moon Island for so long?

"Rayna!"

Before Reina could answer, Doflamingo's roar echoed from the sky.
