Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Before this, they were all very worried about Reina's eyes and had decided to keep a low profile in the future. If they were targeted by the Navy again, they might have to pay a heavy price to get away unscathed.

But Whitebeard told them that his Whitebeard Pirates were the world's number one pirate crew.

Thus, in this atmosphere of high morale, the USS Moby Dick headed directly toward Naval Headquarters.

A few days later, as the USS Moby Dick drew closer to Naval Headquarters, Reyner finally took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed a number.

"Aladdin? This is Reina!" Reina asked with a smile into the Den Den Mushi.

"Is this Lord Reina? This is Aladdin. What can I do for you?" On the other end of the Den Den Mushi was Aladdin, the trusted captain of the New Sun Pirates.

"Yes, I have something I want to talk to you about. Is Jinbe there?" Reina nodded and said.

“Jinbe… he went to Ryugu Castle. We’re here in the Sea Forest!” Aladdin shook his head and said.

“Perfect timing… Could you please go to Dragon Palace too? Find King Neptune and the Naga! Then give me a call back!” Reina nodded and said.

"Ok!"

After hanging up the phone, Reina's lips curled up slightly.

He knew that Whitebeard was going to Marine Headquarters not only to demonstrate his power, but also to help him!

Let him face Garp then, so he can learn something from Garp.

So he can't just do nothing and rush straight into Marineford.

“Brubrubru… Brubrubru…”

Soon the Den Den Mushi rang.

"Mr. Reina, this is Jinbe... I wonder what brings you here?" Inside Ryugu Castle, Jinbe, Aladdin, Neptune, Shark Star, Naga, and the others were gathered around a Den Den Mushi.

They didn't know why Reiner had summoned them.

“It’s like this…” Reina briefly recounted their robbery of Marineford.

"What? Rob...rob Marineford?" Sure enough, after Reina finished speaking, everyone, including Neptune, asked in surprise.

“That’s right! This is Big Brother’s decision! So… I hope the Sun Pirates can come to the waters near Marineford to meet us!” Reina nodded, saying with a hint of helplessness.

"But...but...Mr. Reina...that's Marineford! Isn't doing this...too hasty?" Jinbe couldn't quite process the information and asked nervously.

"Hehehe... So what if it's Marineford? We're not planning a full-scale war with them... The Navy ambushed us several times before, but we didn't settle scores with them. We're just here to rob them now!" Reina replied with a laugh after hearing Jinbe's words.

“Alright! I’ll lead… no, Aladdin, you’re the captain now!” Jinbe was about to agree, but then he remembered that he was no longer the captain, so he handed the Den Den Mushi to Aladdin and said.

Aladdin was taken aback. Only then did he realize that Jinbe usually made the decisions for such important matters, so he had been waiting for Jinbe's orders as usual.

So after hearing Jinbe's words, he realized that he was now the leader.

“Okay, Mr. Reina, we will arrive at the designated location on time!” Aladdin replied, taking the Den Den Mushi.

"Yes! Thank you for your trouble. Also... Queen Naga... could you please make an appearance as well?" Reina said again after hearing Aladdin's agreement.

“Me?” Naga asked, frowning.

She's living quite well on Fishman Island now, with peaceful days and Shark Star by her side, so she doesn't really want to participate in Reina's suggestion.

Because once her abilities are revealed, it could very well affect his current life.

"That's right! I know what you're worried about, but I'll still share my opinion. Fishman Island may seem peaceful now, but the discrimination and capture of fish-men and mermaids by humans is actually very serious. In the whole world, Fishman Island is the only pure land!"

“There are many reasons for this situation… but the fact that your Fishman Island lacks top-tier experts is also a significant one! So… once you demonstrate your abilities to the world, it might help the situation on Fishman Island!” Reina explained softly.

The Naga remained silent and did not answer immediately.

“Mr. Reina… I am Shark Star! Although what you said makes some sense… I feel…”

"Okay, I agree. What do you want me to do?"

Before Shark could finish speaking, Naga suddenly spoke up.

“Naga!” Upon hearing Naga’s agreement, Shark Star immediately grabbed her hand and said, “If your abilities are exposed, even more humans will try to take advantage of you, which will put you in great danger!”

“That’s even better. As long as we repel a few waves of them and let them know how powerful we are, they won’t dare to attack our compatriots again! Snake Island is the best example!” Naga shook her head and replied.

“But if that’s the case… wouldn’t you be in even more danger?” Shark Star replied with some concern.

"Danger? What danger? The Whitebeard Pirates are leading the charge this time! You know how powerful they are, don't you?" Naga replied with a slight smirk.

“But… the Navy Headquarters isn’t so easy to mess with!” Shark Star shook his head and said.

"Hahaha... Shark Star... You don't see things as clearly as Naga! According to Naga's thinking, it is indeed a good opportunity... but..." Neptune laughed and said, "Naga, Shark Star's concerns are also very valid! Even with the Whitebeard Pirates blocking your way, if you want to achieve your goal, you must attract the Navy's attention!"

A glint flashed in Naga's eyes as she said, "It's simple to get their attention. Once I demonstrate my abilities, it will be hard for them not to take me seriously!"

Everyone immediately fell silent.

"Seriously... is it really okay for you to scheme against the Whitebeard Pirates right in front of me?" Just then, Reina's voice suddenly came through the Den Den Mushi, causing the group to exchange bewildered glances.

“Mr. Reina, you flatter me. This can’t be considered a scheme! I’m going to help you. These are all risks and opportunities, so I naturally have to think them through!” Naga replied with a slight smile.

"Hahaha... Don't worry, as long as you come over, I guarantee your safety, there won't be any problems!" Reina said confidently.

Naga and Jinbe exchanged a glance; they wanted to go, but Shark Star and Neptune were somewhat worried.

“Naga…” Shark Star opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

“I understand what you and Father mean! Don’t worry… there won’t be any problems. It’s time for us Fishman Island to make our voice heard in the world!” Naga said with a slight smile.

He understood Sharkstar and Neptune's concerns; it wasn't that they didn't want to take this opportunity to make Fishman Island famous.

However, the opponent is the Navy Headquarters, which would be difficult to explain afterward, and the danger is too great.

“Mr. Reina… if our Fishman Island sends troops to protect the Naga…” Neptune hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"No way!" Reina, Naga, and Jinbe all objected at the same time.

“Father, I know you’re worried about me, but if only the Sun Pirates and I go, we’ll have an excuse if the Navy and the World Government cause us trouble afterwards. But once Ryugu Castle gets involved, things will be different!”

"The Sun Pirates are originally affiliated with the Whitebeard Pirates; they're pirates, there's nothing to say about that. And although I'm Shark Star's wife, the World Government hasn't fully recognized our status, so my appearance is a warning to them! Once they see us as a threat, they might recognize Ryugu Castle's status to win me over!" Naga said directly to Neptune.

“I know, but Naga… have you ever considered… the possibility that the World Government might also ask us to hand you over?” Neptune sighed and said, “Because of the deep sea, the World Government hasn’t acted recklessly on Fish-Man Island. But once they become wary of you, they might take action… and then… we might not be able to protect you!” Neptune said with a somewhat grim expression.

Compared to a behemoth like the World Government, Fishman Island is just a leaf in the ocean, utterly insignificant.

“But we can take a gamble! If the World Government really wants us to hand over the people, then you can agree, and I can rebel against Fishman Island. That way, they won’t have any reason to cause you any trouble! But if they recognize Fishman Island’s status… then we’ll have won!” Naga chuckled and replied.

She had already considered these consequences.

Jinbe nodded and said, "I agree more with Naga's plan. It's not like we'll just drive Naga out of Fishman Island, just like Tiger did back then!"

But Neptune remained silent upon hearing this.

“Jinbe, the matter of Lord Tiger... has always been a pain in Father’s heart!” Shark Star sighed, shook his head, and said.

Naga looked completely bewildered; she knew nothing about Tiger.

"This..." Jinbe hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say. He just scratched the back of his head and said, "But back then, Boss Tiger didn't hold a grudge against Fishman Island! In the end... he still cared about Fishman Island!"

“But… if it weren’t for my consent back then, he wouldn’t have rebelled against Fishman Island, nor would he have lost his life because of that. If he had stayed on Fishman Island, he would be one of our top experts now! Naga… I just don’t want you to follow in his footsteps! So…” Neptune looked at Naga with a complicated expression and said.

At this moment, Shark Star quietly told Naga about Tiger's past.

Naga's eyes lit up after hearing this. She hadn't expected that there was such a person on Fishman Island. It was a pity that he died too young, otherwise she would definitely want to get to know him.

“King Neptune, you’re overthinking it. When Tiger made that decision back then, it had little to do with you. In the end, his fate was due to his own inner turmoil!” At this moment, Reina from the other end of the Den Den Mushi suddenly interjected.

“I know… but I often think, if I had opposed your plans and hadn’t driven him off Fishman Island, would the outcome have been different?” Neptune said with some sadness.

"Of course it's different! Because if you did that, there wouldn't be a Fishman Island like we know today!" Reina sneered, "You're supposed to be royalty, yet you act with such womanly compassion? Without sacrifice, how can there be a glorious future? Wanting everyone to survive and still achieving your goal isn't impossible... the only requirement is that you become strong!"

Upon hearing Reina's words, Neptune remained silent.

“I think Mr. Reina is right. As the weak, we must pay the price if we want to gain something! Father, Shark Star... I hope you will allow me to fight!” Naga nodded and said solemnly.

“Naga…” Shark Star looked at his wife with a complicated expression.

"Hoo~~ Father, I will definitely send the Naga into battle!" Shark Star suddenly closed his eyes, then opened them again, and said loudly.

“Shark Star…you…” Neptune was startled and looked at Shark Star, utterly puzzled.

"If the World Government demands that we hand over Naga, then we will follow Naga's wishes and expel her from Fishman Island! But before that, I will, as the Crown Prince, inform the entire Fishman Island of the truth! And I assure everyone that we want Naga to remain on Fishman Island, only to expel her in name! If everyone is unwilling... then please, Father, pass the Crown Prince position to my little sister! I will leave with Naga!" Shark Star said solemnly.

"Nonsense!" Naga's expression changed, and she glared at Shark Star, saying, "My little sister has been in the Hard Shell Tower all year round. How is she going to manage Fishman Island? Although she is the mermaid princess of this generation, she is innocent and kind. Do you want her to face this cruel world?"

"But……"

“That’s right, Naga is right! Shark Star, what you’re doing is irresponsible to everyone on Fishman Island!”

Shark wanted to say something more, but Neptune interrupted him.

“However, I agree to your plan! Our Dragon Palace will step in and explain to everyone, and I believe everyone will understand!” But Neptune continued.

“Father…” Naga and Shark Star both looked at Neptune, one with surprise and the other with delight!

"So, have you made up your minds?" Reina asked with a chuckle from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

“Of course…” they all replied at the same time.

"Hehe... See you then!" Reina laughed and hung up the phone.

After the Den Den Mushi was disconnected, Jinbe looked at Aladdin and said, "Captain! We can prepare to set sail!"

Aladdin nodded, then looked at Naga and asked, "Would you like to come with us?"

"No! I'll go alone! I want to go with the Whitebeard Pirates!" Naga said, squinting her eyes.

"Huh?" The group looked at Naga in confusion. Reina had just said that they didn't need to go to the front lines, they just needed to provide support!

“If I don’t go to the front lines… how can the World Government be afraid of me!?” Naga said with a light laugh.

“But…” Shark Star looked at Naga, and seeing her determined expression, he could only nod and say, “Protect yourself, don’t be reckless! With the Whitebeard Pirates around, and this being a surprise attack, there shouldn’t be any problems!”

Just as Fishman Island was making preparations for the expedition, Reina had already coated the Moby Dick. They planned to sail directly underwater to Marineford and catch the navy off guard.

"Dad...Naval Headquarters...what valuable stuff is there? What should we rob first? We only have the Moby Dick this time, it can't carry too much stuff!" At this moment, Laco was already considering what to rob to make this battle worthwhile.

"Reina, take out what you've prepared!" Whitebeard said with a slight smile.

Reina nodded, took out a map, and spread it on the deck.

"Holy crap... this is... a map of Marineford? How did you get it?" Laqué asked in surprise as soon as he saw it.
