Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

It turns out that the shattering of Senbonzakura earlier was intentional on Reina's part. He took the opportunity to break the sword into countless fragments and attack Garp, but he only managed to tear Garp's clothes and didn't even hurt his skin.

It wasn't that he didn't go all out; it's just that he came here specifically to experience Garp's strength, so he couldn't attack from a distance as he usually does.

Moreover, when he challenged the Tower of Trials, he didn't have as many abilities as he does now, so he suppressed the Black Emperor's power, which gave Garp the illusion that he wasn't using his full strength.

Chapter 483 The Wind Pulls, the Cry Out

"What exactly happened? Have you found out why the Whitebeard Pirates suddenly attacked us?" Sengoku asked the Marine soldiers beside him from the high platform in front of Marineford Plaza.

"Reporting to the Marshal! There is currently no intelligence indicating the reason for the Whitebeard Pirates' sudden attack on us," the messenger replied after saluting.

Sengoku waved his hand, dismissing the messenger, while he continued to watch the battlefield.

Gradually, he noticed something strange. The area where Reina and Garp were fighting had become the main battlefield, and any Marines trying to approach were being blocked by the Whitebeard Pirates. It seemed their target was Garp.

However, Reina, who was actually fighting Garp, seemed to be not using his full strength and was completely suppressed by Garp.

"Where are Kuzan and Borsalino? Why haven't they arrived yet?" Sengoku frowned and asked, seeing that the vice admirals were fighting hard but were being blocked by the Whitebeard Pirates' captains.

"Kuzan has disappeared somewhere. Borsalino has already notified him and he's on his way!" At this moment, Lieutenant General Azuru slowly approached Sengoku and said softly.

"Where did they go? What do you mean?" Sengoku was dumbfounded when he heard Vice Admiral Tsuru's words. A Marine Admiral had gone missing? And at this time?

“In the evening, some soldiers saw him ride his bicycle out. I’ve already sent someone to contact him, but we haven’t been able to reach him yet,” Lieutenant General Ah He said expressionlessly.

Sengoku's lips twitched, and he asked, "You didn't bring a Den Den Mushi either?"

"If I had brought it, wouldn't I have contacted him already?" Vice Admiral A-He rolled his eyes and said, "What's going on here? Why did the Whitebeard Pirates suddenly attack Marineford? What did they do to anger him?"

“I don’t know either!” Sengoku shook his head and said, “They attacked suddenly without any warning, and I haven’t received any intelligence about them.”

"This is really strange!" Vice Admiral A-He was also completely baffled. Why did the Whitebeard Pirates suddenly launch an attack on them?

"Look... they seem to be targeting Garp! Any general who gets close to Garp is blocked by their men!" Sengoku pointed towards Garp and said, "But Reina's condition is a bit strange; he doesn't seem to be using his full strength!"

"Send someone over there to try again!" Lieutenant General Ah He said after thinking for a moment. "Their objective is unclear right now, so let's force it out for them!"

Sengoku nodded and said to the messenger not far away, "All troops... attack Reina!"

"Yes, Marshal!" The messenger immediately relayed Sengoku's order.

Soon, naval soldiers and officers from all directions rushed towards Reina's side.

Seeing this, Whitebeard, standing at the bow of the Moby Dick, brandished his naginata and slashed directly at Sengoku.

"Ice Age!" Just as Whitebeard's slash was about to reach the platform where Sengoku was, Aokiji suddenly appeared and blocked Whitebeard's slash with an ice wall.

"Gurararara... Sengoku... Aren't you going to play with me?" Whitebeard didn't care at all that his slash was blocked, because before the slash even touched Aokiji's ice wall, all the marines along the way had already been knocked away by him.

“Newgate…why did you suddenly attack Marineford?” Sengoku stood still and asked loudly.

Beside him was Aokiji Kuzan, who had just arrived.

"Gurararara..." Whitebeard just laughed, but didn't answer.

At the center of the battlefield, Garp found it increasingly strange as the fight progressed. Reina was already in a rather disheveled state, yet he still hadn't used his abilities, relying solely on physical combat and swordsmanship to fight him.

"Kid, what exactly are you up to?" Karp asked, frowning, after forcing Reina away.

"Hehe...of course I've come here to cause you trouble!" Reina wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.

"Trying to mess with us? Kid... with your abilities, you can't possibly mess with me!" Garp said, squinting his eyes.

"Hoo~ Is that so? Let's try again!" Reina took a step forward and charged towards Garp again.

"Oh!"

"Hmm? Finally getting serious? If you don't show your strength now, you'll miss your chance!" Garp threw a punch at Reina. The moment they made contact, Reina was sent flying by Garp's punch again. However, he felt that Reina's ability to absorb damage was working again.

"Pah, pah, pah... As expected of the Navy's top combat power!" Reina stood up from the ruins, dusted himself off, shook his head, and said, "Looks like it still won't work! Well then... I'll have to try again! Hyōrinmaru... Bankai!"

"Hahaha... Are you finally getting serious? Then let's begin!" Seeing Reina going all out, Garp laughed and charged towards Reina for the first time.

Reina is only using his ability now because he has no other choice. If he doesn't use his ability... he is no match for Garp at all. He can't even break through Garp's defense, so what's the point of fighting?

"Boom boom boom!"

Aside from his Sharingan, Reina had activated all his abilities, which allowed him to barely hold his own against Garp instead of being constantly suppressed.

However, the white-bearded man frowned upon seeing this, but he quickly figured out why Reina was acting this way.

Looking at the supplies that already filled almost half the deck, Whitebeard turned to his crew and asked, "How's it going with Lakshmi? How much supplies do they have left?"

"Dad, there are two more big warehouses over there! When we went there, there were three big warehouses. Captain Laco told us to move the weapons and ore first, but we didn't touch the gold and jewelry. I guess they haven't even finished moving the weapons yet! The Navy is really too rich!" The pirate in charge of moving the weapons replied excitedly.

"Tell Rakuyo to hurry up! More and more Marines are coming! If he hasn't finished moving things by the time Kizaru arrives, then give up!" Whitebeard said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Dad! I'll go and inform the captains right away!"

Upon seeing that the other party immediately ran towards Rakuyo, Whitebeard ignored them and focused on the battle in front of him.

Originally, according to Reina's idea, the captains should have gone to help Laco, but the Navy reacted very quickly. Now, except for Laco and the other two, all the other captains have arrived here. Otherwise, there would have been no one to stop the large number of Navy officers.

"Dad!" Not long after, just as Whitebeard was considering whether to make a move, Rakuyo ran over and gestured for Whitebeard to retreat.

Without time to ask any further questions, the white-bearded man leaped down into the square.

"Newgate!"

Whitebeard's personal involvement not only alerted Sengoku and the Navy's commanders, but even Garp, who was fighting Reina, subconsciously separated from Reina just in case.

If Reyner and Whitebeard joined forces, Garp really wouldn't dare to face them alone. However, he immediately remembered that this was the Marine Headquarters, and in terms of numbers, they were the ones with the advantage.

"My little ones... gurara... wind, whistle!" Whitebeard suddenly raised his naginata and shouted with a loud laugh.

Reina taught him this, saying it was from his hometown, and that thieves usually shouted this when preparing to retreat. Whitebeard found it interesting, so he learned it too.

Before the Marines could react to Whitebeard's words, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates understood and, without regard for their opponents, all took off running.

Chapter 484 Naga Join the War

Seeing the Whitebeard Pirates suddenly retreat, Sengoku and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

They didn't know why the Whitebeard Pirates came or why they left; this battle was completely inexplicable to them.

"Hmph! Come and go as you please? Scorching River - Great Fire Blast!" Clearly feeling tricked, Akainu naturally didn't want to let the Whitebeard Pirates leave just like that.

"Heh heh! A mere red dog thinks he can stop us? He's dreaming! Hyōrinmaru: Hyōten Hyakkasō!" Reina, who was in the air, saw Akainu attacking the Moby Dick and immediately unleashed his ultimate attack without saying a word.

The snow and ice were falling heavily, even threatening to freeze Akainu's magma.

Although Reina cannot use the Sharingan now, his mastery of Hyōrinmaru is even greater than before, so the power that Hyōrinmaru can unleash is naturally stronger.

"Gurarararar... Sengoku, take this!" Seeing this, Whitebeard showed no mercy, waving his naginata and sending a transparent energy ball carrying the slash directly toward Sengoku.

"I'm not dead yet!" Garp naturally wouldn't let Whitebeard succeed. He flashed to the front of Whitebeard's slash, his entire arm turned purplish-black, and he punched the slash.

Instantly, the space between Garp and Whitebeard began to crack. The clash between the two was so terrifying that it actually shattered the space itself.

While Whitebeard and Reiner were covering the rear, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates returned to the Moby Dick at an extremely fast speed.

"Reina, Dad! Let's go!" Marco shouted as soon as everyone arrived.

"Big brother, let's go!" Upon hearing this, Reina swung his Hyōrinmaru and unleashed a slash at the pursuing Akainu, while he himself quickly flew towards the Moby Dick.

Whitebeard on the other side also stopped attacking and returned to the Moby Dick with a single step.

"Aokiji!" Akainu, who was blocking Reina's slash, still refused to let the Whitebeard Pirates go, so he shouted.

Aokiji also knew that since he arrived the latest, if he didn't contribute, he would likely give others a reason to criticize him. Moreover, the Whitebeard Pirates had stormed Marineford as if it were empty, and if they didn't leave something behind, the Navy would lose face.

So before Akainu could even speak, he had already charged toward the retreating Whitebeard Pirates.

"Frozen Time Capsule!" Aokiji stretched out his hands, and a strong blast of cold air shot towards the Moby Dick.

"Crackling sound..." In just an instant, the intense cold air froze the Moby Dick and the sea, preventing the Whitebeard Pirates from retreating.

"Oh no! The Moby Dick is frozen!" Marco shouted, his face changing upon seeing this.

"Don't panic, proceed according to plan!" Reina shouted as he landed, calming the panicked members down.

"Namur!" Reina called out to Namur, the captain of the 8th Division.

"Understood!" Namuer nodded, then leaped into the sea.

"Marco, Jozu, Vista! Follow me and hold off the Marine Admirals! The rest of the captains, lead your respective squads and launch a counterattack!" Reina shouted as he watched Akainu and Aokiji charging towards them.

"Yes!" Upon hearing Reina's order, everyone began to perform their duties.

Meanwhile, after entering the sea, Namur met the Naga who had been waiting there. After nodding to her, he pointed to the place where the Moby Dick was frozen, indicating that she should find a way to break the ice first.

Naga smiled slightly and pointed towards the ice surface.

Just as Namur was wondering, two enormous sea monsters appeared out of nowhere and crashed violently into the ice surface where the Moby Dick had come into contact, cracking the ice and then rushing out to sea.

Just as Akainu and Aokiji arrived near the Moby Dick, preparing to launch an attack, they suddenly noticed something about to burst out from the seabed and had to stop and look at the surface.

"Roar!" Two enormous sea monsters burst through the ice and emerged from the seabed, not only giving the Moby Dick an opportunity to escape, but also blocking most of the naval soldiers.

"Sea monsters? Could they be the sea monsters that Reina just tamed?" Aokiji frowned and said as he saw the two sea monsters attacking the Navy.

Reina has been famous for a long time, so everyone basically already knows that he has a giant sea king companion, and even the Navy has known about his unique mount, the turtle.

The navy was still somewhat puzzled by the sudden appearance of the two sea creatures, as they had never seen Reina summon them before.

"Ignore them for now, stopping the Whitebeard Pirates is more important!" Akainu glanced at the sea monsters wreaking havoc among the Marine soldiers and said disdainfully.

Aokiji nodded and, together with Akainu, charged toward the Moby Dick once more.

Sea monsters of this caliber don't even require a vice admiral to be dispatched; the Navy Headquarters has plenty of officers capable of killing them.

Just as they were about to make another move, they discovered that a person had suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea—no, it should be said that a mermaid had appeared.

The newcomer was Naga. Using her abilities, she walked on the waves, standing directly on the sea surface, blocking Akainu and Aokiji's path.

"Who are you?" Akainu asked, squinting.

“Naga!” Naga, carrying a trident, said softly.

"Naga?" Akainu and Aokiji exchanged a glance, then vanished from Naga's sight.

"Isn't it a bit unfair for two against one? Let us take over!" Just as Naga was somewhat surprised, Reina and Marco blocked Akainu and Aokiji respectively in the air.

However, the Naga standing on the sea had no intention of leaving. She came here to demonstrate her abilities, and if she left like this, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?
