Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

However, none of these were his greatest gains. His greatest gain was the complete form of Susanoo; he now possessed the ability to summon it.

Although his complete form is different from the Uchiha clan's, which can only summon the upper body of Susanoo, a Susanoo wielding a weapon is completely different from a Susanoo that merely covers the body.

The naval commanders were all amazed to see Susanoo grow to be as tall as the Great Buddha Sengoku.

"Just how many tricks does this guy have up his sleeve?!" Vice Admiral Momonga exclaimed in amazement as he watched Reina unleash yet another new technique.

As for Aokiji and Kizaru on the other side, after exchanging a glance, they both felt the urge to make a move. They could tell that Fleet Admiral Sengoku... might not be a match for Reina.

"Boom boom boom..."

The golden Buddha and the purplish-black Susanoo were like a battle between gods and demons. The scattered aura almost capsized the warship. On the Navy side, apart from the admirals and above who could barely watch the battle, the rest had to find places to hide from the aura scattered by the two.

"Huff... huff... huff..." After exchanging blows for a while, Sengoku finally stopped, panting heavily. Looking at Reina, whose face was calm inside Susanoo, he said softly, "I really didn't expect you to have such an ability!"

“Hehe… My abilities are not limited to these… Sengoku no Fusou…” Reina said with a light laugh as he retracted Susanoo to his body.

Despite his seemingly calm and collected demeanor, only he himself could truly feel the immense strain he was expending.

Reina really couldn't afford the drain on his eye power, otherwise he wouldn't have hastily retracted the complete form of Susanoo.

However, no one outside the group knew any of this. Even Sengoku, who was fighting him, did not see anything amiss and simply thought that Reina was planning some new trick.

"Now... it's time to attack!" Taking a deep breath, Reina stepped forward and charged directly towards Sengoku.

"Then let's give it a try..." A glint flashed in Sengoku's eyes. He took another deep breath and struck out with a palm at Reina!

"Vacuum Ice Blade" Reina's Hyōrinmaru pierced directly into Sengoku's palm. The point where the sword tip touched the palm began to slowly freeze. But just when Reina thought he had succeeded, a powerful shockwave struck him again, sending Reina flying.

"How is this possible?" Reina, who had been knocked away, looked at Sengoku in astonishment after regaining his footing, and asked incredulously, "You actually still have stamina left?"

"Hahaha... Don't underestimate me! I am... Fleet Admiral... Buddha Sengoku!" Sengoku laughed and charged at Reina again.

"Arrogant! Watch me cut off your head!" With a flash of red light in his eyes, Reina no longer intended to hold back and charged towards Sengoku without dodging.

Chapter 531 Breach of Contract

The battle between Sengoku and Reina continued; the two had been fighting for a day and a night, and the ice battlefield created by Aokiji had been shattered by the two of them several times.

As the two fought, more and more naval warships arrived, surrounding the area where they were fighting.

"Sengoku! You've lost!" In the center of the battlefield, Reina slowly emerged from the smoke, looked at Sengoku lying on the ground unable to get up, and said softly.

"I lost! But the navy cannot lose!" Sengoku said, lying on the ground without trying to get up.

"You're trying to cheat?" Reina said, squinting.

Zhan Guo did not answer. No matter how many reasons he had, he had indeed broken his promise, so he did not want to argue.

"There's no trust in a pirate like you!" Kizaru replied, having arrived at the scene sometime earlier.

"Ah~ I really..." Reina rubbed his forehead, chuckling as he said, "I say, Lord Sengoku, is it worth it? Trading your reputation for a nobody like me?"

“You’re not some nobody! Besides… I’m already planning to retire! Before retiring, I personally think it’s pretty good to use my reputation to get this opportunity! Hehehe…” Sengoku said with a light laugh as he lay on the ground.

"You really think highly of me!" Reina pouted and said, "But is what you're doing really okay, Brother Shiki? What do you think?"

Shiki, who was standing to the side, looked with great interest at the appearing Marine Admirals Aokiji and Kizaru, then glanced at Sengoku lying on the ground, and chuckled as he said to Reina, "You kid... when did you become so strong?"

“Hey, hey... Brother Shiki, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?” Reina’s face immediately fell as he spoke.

The meaning behind Shiki's words just now was quite clear: because Reina's strength was too great, he had begun to be wary.

However, if Reina were captured by the Navy here, then he wouldn't need to be afraid of them anymore.

Aokiji and Kizaru didn't rush to make a move. At this point, even with Shiki's help, it wouldn't be easy for Reina to break through. There were more than just the two of them here; there were countless naval soldiers and officers on the surrounding warships.

Especially after seeing that Shiki was showing signs of taking advantage of their misfortune, they were even less in a hurry.

Vice Admiral Momonga, who arrived from the warship, was treating Sengoku with a medic. He was wary of Reina.

Who else in this world could defeat a Warring States general and then act as if nothing had happened?

Although Reina also looked somewhat disheveled and had many wounds, you could tell how intense the battle was by looking at Sengoku, who was fighting him and was completely unable to move.

"It seems your navy is determined to breach the contract?" Reina looked at Shiki the Golden Lion and asked, "What did Brother Shiki say?"

Reina looked at Shiki with a dangerous glint in his eyes. The reason he had agreed to Sengoku's request was twofold: firstly, Sengoku's character was indeed trustworthy, and secondly, Shiki the Golden Lion was here.

They were once in the same boat, and as long as there was no conflict of interest between them, Reina was still willing to trust the other.

However, if the Golden Lion betrays Reina this time, then even if the two are not enemies in the future, they will definitely not have the kind of relationship where they can cooperate at will.

Golden Lion seemed to understand Reina's meaning, and his eyes began to flicker as he considered whether he should help Reina.

If he didn't help Reina at this moment, Reina would have absolutely no chance of escaping, and even with his help, the chances of escaping would be slim.

This is assuming the Navy isn't targeting him; if the Navy were, he probably wouldn't even be able to escape on his own.

“Since the Navy doesn’t intend to abide by the agreement, then there’s nothing more to say. From now on, when we face each other, we won’t need to follow the rules!” Golden Lion slowly approached Reina and said.

"Golden Lion... We haven't settled accounts with you for attacking Marine Headquarters yet. If you leave now... you can still get away, otherwise... hmph!" The slowly gathering Marine Vice Admirals had completely surrounded the two of them.

"You brat, how much fighting strength do you have left? If you're really no good, I'll have no choice but to abandon you!" Golden Lion glanced at the surrounding Marines and said.

"Hehe... Brother Shiki, do you really think I don't have a backup plan?" Reina chuckled, walked over to the Golden Lion, muttered a few words, and then saw the Golden Lion's eyes light up and he burst into laughter.

Aokiji and Kizaru were still somewhat surprised, but a Marine Vice Admiral's expression changed, and he shouted, "Take them down! They want to release the prisoners from Impel Down!"

Upon hearing the vice admiral's words, everyone's expression immediately changed, and Kizaru and Aokiji immediately attacked Reina and Shiki.

"Let's go!" Reina took the lead, leaping forward and rushing towards Impel Down. Golden Lion followed closely behind, flying towards Impel Down as well.

"Stop them! We absolutely cannot let them release the prisoners from Impel Down!" Vice Admiral Momonga, though a little slower than Aokiji and Kizaru, quickly reacted and chased after Reina and Shiki.

"Heh... A very clever idea, but you won't get through!" A figure of light caught up with Reina and his companion, blocking their way. It was none other than Admiral Kizaru.

“Brother Shiki, as a way of repaying you, leave this to me. You go and release those prisoners!” Reina said with a slight smile.

"Are you sure you can handle this? Don't die here!" Shiki said, his eyes lighting up.

He naturally knew the benefits of releasing prisoners. Not only would he avoid facing the powerful navy here, but he could also make the released prisoners grateful. He could then take the opportunity to recruit some people without any problem.

“Reina, releasing the prisoners of Impel Down, do you know what that means?” Qing, who had caught up with Reina, said in a deep voice.

“I’ve said it before, I didn’t want to do this, you forced me to!” Reina shrugged and said, “Old man Sengoku broke the contract first, so don’t blame me for doing whatever I want!”

"Why bother talking to him? Let's take him down first!" Kizaru attacked Reina directly.

"You think you can do that?" Reina, who was in Sharingan mode, naturally saw Kizaru's movements clearly, so he easily dodged.

Meanwhile, the Golden Lion took the opportunity to jump directly into the pit of Impel Down.

Seeing this, Aokiji nodded to Kizaru, then bypassed Reina and led a group of Marine officers in pursuit of Shiki.

Reina didn't stop them from pursuing the Golden Lion. Since they had taken the benefits, they naturally had to share the firepower.

Didn't you see that besides Kizaru, he also has a large number of Marine officers and soldiers on his side? Although even more went to chase Shiki...

Chapter 532 Release

"Boom boom boom..." At the former gate of Impel Down, now on the ruins of Impel Down, Kizaru and a large number of Marines are besieging Reina.

Reina, who had fought a great battle with Sengoku, was still holding on, but he was completely at a disadvantage and could be defeated at any time.

However, Reina was not flustered. If all else failed, he planned to spend 10,000 points to escape directly into the Tower of Trials, stay inside for a few days, and then come out.

Although his injuries cannot be healed inside the Tower of Trials, as long as he doesn't enter the Tower of Trials, he can replenish his strength outside and come out after the Navy withdraws.

The reason he hasn't left yet is because he's somewhat unwilling to accept this. If he disappears now, the navy here will definitely stop Golden Lion, and then the prisoners in Impel Down won't be able to escape.

Of course, his intention in releasing these villains wasn't really to harm them; it was merely to annoy the Navy!

Sengoku used his own reputation to plot against him, which made Reina feel somewhat angry. Although Sengoku's reputation was completely ruined after this battle, if he were captured by the Navy, it would be a real problem, and might even cause a war larger than the Marineford War in the original story.

The Navy also felt that this opportunity would be used to plot against the Whitebeard Pirates.

He absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen, so he would not be caught by the Navy under any circumstances.

"Huff~ huff~ huff~~ Yellow-skinned monkey, is that all you've got? You probably won't be able to catch me then!" Reina, holding the Hyōrinmaru, said while panting heavily.

The continuous battles had greatly depleted his stamina, and both the Sharingan and Hyōrinmaru required his physical strength to function.

"Reina, I advise you to surrender! Continuing to fight... will not do you any good!" Lieutenant General Onigumo said to Reina, holding his weapon.

"No good for me? I think it's no good for you guys. You want to arrest me? You won't get away with it without paying a price!" Reina said with a light laugh.

The reason he has been able to hold on until now is because the other party is deliberately delaying.

Given the current situation, the Navy doesn't want to fight Reina to the death, so exhausting Reina's strength before capturing him is the Navy's best option.

They simply didn't know the situation inside Impel Down, so they wanted to finish things here quickly before going down to help. That's why they were fighting while trying to persuade Reina to surrender.

Unfortunately, Reina saw through this simple tactic at a glance.

So even though he knew that his physical strength was severely depleted, Reina still managed to hold his own against the Marines.

"An opening!" Lieutenant General Dalmesia saw that Reina's movements were slow due to exhaustion, and his eyes lit up. He immediately fired a finger pistol at him.

"Don't go!" Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel shouted immediately.

However, it was too late for him to shout. Dalmesia had already charged towards Reina and had no time to stop his attack.

"Heh heh... Did you really think I was an easy target?" Reina had deliberately shown a weakness to lure Kizaru into a trap, but Kizaru remained as steady as a rock and didn't come up at all. Instead, Vice Admiral Dalmesia rushed over.

Easily dodging Dalmesia's finger gun, Reina's Hyōrinmaru aimed directly at the opponent's heart. However, at that moment, Vice Admiral Momonga, Vice Admiral Onigumo, and Kizaru's attacks arrived. If Reina insisted on killing Vice Admiral Dalmesia, he would have to withstand the attacks of several people.

In this situation, Reina, who had to conserve every bit of his energy, couldn't possibly fight them head-on. So he had no choice but to withdraw his attacks and dodge their assault. However, he didn't let Lieutenant General Dalmesia go either, taking the opportunity to kick him away.

"Oh my... that's terrifying! Even at this level, it still has the ability to hurt people!" Kizaru said to Reina, looking terrified.

Reina curled his lip, too lazy to pay him any attention. He believed that the reason Kizaru hadn't spoken up to remind Vice Admiral Dalmesia wasn't because the latter hadn't understood his intentions, but because he had originally planned to use Dalmesia to set a trap for Reina. If Reina had dared to fight head-on, he would have dared to strike hard and seriously injure Reina.

Reina saw through Kizaru's intentions, so he decisively gave up the opportunity to attack Vice Admiral Dalmesia and simply kicked him away.

As for Vice Admiral Momonga, who had started to offer advice, he didn't have that much on his mind. He was only focused on trapping Reina and didn't want to fight Reina head-on, so even if he had the chance, he was unwilling to risk going forward.

While Reina was entangled with the Marines, Shiki, who had entered Impel Down, used his Devil Fruit ability to quickly advance towards the sixth level.

The prisoners on the first five levels combined are not as strong as those on the sixth level, so the Golden Lion's goal is clear: to go directly to the sixth level of Impel Down, where he was imprisoned in the past. He is confident that he can persuade some of the guys there to join him.

But before Golden Lion could get far, Aokiji and his men caught up with him.

"Damn it, what is that guy Reina doing?" Golden Lion glanced at Aokiji and increased his speed again.
