Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Douglas Barrett? Now is not the time for someone like you to show up!" Garp, dressed in a naval uniform, also appeared here at some point.

"Kap?" Reina and Barrett's eyes narrowed simultaneously.

The name of a person is like the shadow of a tree. Garp's appearance not only boosted the morale of the navy, but also made Reina more vigilant. Most of the navy's commanders had gathered here, and it seemed that today's matter would not be so easy to resolve.

The number of powerful figures appearing now is no less than the number of powerful figures in the Marineford War in the original story.

Although no Yonko-level powerhouses have emerged, Shiki and Reyna are not much weaker than the Yonko.

Moreover, the guys from Level 6 of Impel Down haven't all come out yet. Once both sides gather, the number of powerful figures who will appear will likely far exceed that of the Marineford War.

“Reina!” Karp looked at Reina with a complicated expression.

He had already heard the story from Lieutenant General Tsuru: his old buddy Sengoku was willing to risk his reputation to capture Reina.

So today, no matter what, he can't let Reina get away.

This was arguably the last thing Sengoku did during his tenure as Fleet Admiral, so even if it meant risking his life, Garp was determined to help Sengoku complete it.

Before coming here, Vice Admiral Tsuru had already shown Sengoku's resignation letter to Garp, which meant that no matter what the outcome, Sengoku would have to bear the burden.

If he succeeds, he will be honorably laid off; if he fails, he will be held responsible for the entire navy and nailed to the pillar of historical shame. Garp cannot accept such consequences, so the reason he came here is simple: to clean up the mess!

He believed that after the great battle, neither the Golden Lion nor Reina was able to escape from his grasp, so before coming here, he had already made up his mind to capture the two of them himself.

Having just arrived at Impel Down, he encountered an unexpected person: Douglas Barrett.

"You actually released the prisoners from Impel Down!" Garp asked Reina with a serious expression.

“You forced me to this!” Reina shrugged and said, “I can guess your plans after you captured me. Since you’re targeting the Whitebeard Pirates, you should be prepared for me to fight to the death!”

Garp nodded, pulled off the cloak of justice from his back, and said, "We have different stances, so let's not waste any more words! Today... if you want to leave... you'll have to step over my dead body!"

Reina and Barrett exchanged a glance. How terrifying was Garp when he got serious? Reina had seen it, and so had Barrett, so they both knew that if they weren't careful, they might really die here.

Even someone as strong as Roger was driven to chaos by Garp back then.

Although it suggests that Garp doesn't want a direct confrontation with the Navy, this indirectly proves his strength.

Because those weaker marines had already been defeated by Roger and his crew.

"Hehehe... I thought it was someone else who dared to talk such big, but it turns out it's you... Garp!" Just then, a group of bats flew out and formed a person wearing a cloak with a pale face.

"Baroric Redfield!?" Apart from Barrett, whom they already knew, both Karp and Reina were shocked, especially by the fact that Barrett's body didn't seem to have changed much.

"Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Vampire Form?" Reina immediately recognized the fruit ability the other party possessed.

However, according to his memory, the other party must have obtained this ability after escaping Impel Down, rather than having possessed it before being in Impel Down or before being captured.

"Oh? No wonder you have Akame! You recognized me so quickly?" Barrorick Redfield said with a light laugh.

Although he didn't understand why the other party would possess the Bat-Bat Fruit at this time, Reina was too lazy to investigate. After all, he had already transmigrated here, and the Marineford War was over. It was perfectly normal for some unexpected events to occur!

"Hahaha... Looks like I'll be seeing quite a few old friends today!" Garp squinted, his entire body on high alert.

Neither Barrett nor Barrorick Redfield are easy opponents to deal with.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

With the arrival of Barolok Redfield, the prisoners who had escaped from Level 6 of Impel Down came out one by one.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Crocodile!? I really didn't expect to see you here!" Reina said with a light laugh after seeing Crocodile appear with Mr. 1, Mr. 2, and Mr. 3.

"Reina? Hahaha... I heard you went all out this time! What? Surrounded by the Navy? I really want to see what you look like locked up in Impel Down!" Crocodile laughed as he saw the slightly disheveled Reina.

"Crocodile, if you're willing to stand on our side now, I'll apply to headquarters afterwards to have your status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea reinstated!" Upon hearing Crocodile's words, Vice Admiral Momonga's eyes lit up immediately, and he began to try to persuade the other side.

"Who do you think you are? Who gives you the right to speak here?" Crocodile glanced at the other person and replied.

"You..." Lieutenant General Mole was almost furious. Apart from the generals, everyone present was at least of the same rank. Why couldn't he say such a thing?

"Hahaha... For a nobody like you, to have a vice admiral talking to you, aren't you satisfied?" Reina suddenly laughed and spoke up for the Navy.

"A lackey? You'll soon find out whether I'm a lackey or not!" Crocodile said, squinting and taking a puff of a cigar he'd somehow acquired.

"Hahahaha... Isn't it too lively here? It's rare to have so many old friends gathered together. Why don't we go all out today?" The last golden lion to emerge stood on a floating boulder and laughed maniacally.

"Ice Block - Tyrannosaurus Beak!" As a giant ice bird flew towards Shiki, Aokiji appeared one after another, accompanied by the Navy's admirals.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop him!" Aokiji said with a somewhat grim expression after coming up.

If the pirates who are here now really team up, the whole world will probably tremble.

However, these people are all unruly individuals, so getting them to join forces is really difficult!

Even Aokiji, Kizaru, and Garp understood that as long as the Navy agreed to let them leave, they would run away without a second thought and would not care about Reina's life or death.

However, Reina seemed certain that the Navy wouldn't do that, so he appeared very relaxed and even had the mood to engage in verbal sparring with Barrett and Crocodile.

"Mr. Garp, what do we do now?" Aokiji asked, looking at Garp who had appeared out of nowhere.

"Sengoku has already written his resignation letter requesting retirement, which means... no matter what happens in this battle, he will be responsible for any problems that arise! Is there anything else you want to say?" Garp said softly.

"What? How could this be? Marshal Sengoku didn't need to do this at all!" The surrounding lieutenant generals were astonished.

Even Kizaru and Aokiji looked shocked.

"So, Mr. Garp means..." Aokiji hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Fight to the death! We absolutely cannot let any pirate escape!" Garp answered him, stomping one foot on the ground and unleashing his full power as he charged directly at Reina.

"Damn it! You think I'm easy to bully? Susanoo!" A purple energy enveloped Reina, and then Reina punched Garp who was charging at him.

"Boom!" The moment their fists collided, Reina's purple energy collapsed, and he was sent flying by the punch, coughing up blood.

After knocking Reina away, Karp didn't stop for a moment and charged towards Barrett, who was closest to him.

"I'm not that coward Reina!" Barrett was naturally unafraid and threw a punch at Karp as well.

"Boom boom~~~"

Barrett lasted a few seconds longer than Renato before being sent flying by a punch from Garp.

"Boom boom boom..."

Aokiji, Kizaru, and the vice admirals were only a fraction of a second slower than Garp, and they all attacked the prisoners at the same time, instantly triggering a great battle.

"You old bastard... Are you serious? Are you trying to kill me?" Reina, who emerged from the smoke and dust not far away, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said.

Garp's attack just now not only shattered his Susanoo, but also exceeded the limit that Black Emperor could absorb, which is why Reina was directly knocked away.

Seeing the battlefield completely in chaos, and having dodged the laser beams that Kizaru fired at random, Reina gritted his teeth and re-entered the battlefield.

Although he is currently extremely exhausted and his injuries are not minor, if he chooses to flee at this moment, he will definitely become the target of the Navy's concentrated fire.

Just look at Mr. 3, who was trying to escape just now, and you'll know what happened to him. This former senior agent of Baroque Works, with a "3" staring at his head, is now lying on the side, his fate unknown.

"Damn it! Crocodile, why did you have to cause me trouble at this time?" Having dodged Crocodile's sand slash, Reina was truly furious.

These guys are still fighting their own battles at this point; they're incredibly foolish. If they were more united, breaking out wouldn't be a problem at all.

Besides Crocodile, that idiot Baloten has also become addicted to fighting, attacking anyone he sees, regardless of whether they are Marines or not.

As for Barolok Redfield, he was also fighting alone and had no intention of helping. Only the Golden Lion, along with Barrel, the Regent, and a few others, was steadily moving towards the outer perimeter. However, these guys didn't dare to accept Reina, because most of the Navy's targets were Reina, and they wouldn't want to cause trouble for themselves.

Chapter 535 The Vanished Reina

Targeted by the Navy and abandoned by these prisoners, Reina was furious. What was this? Was he trying to shoot himself in the foot?

"Hehehe... I really didn't expect to see such a good show. Lord Reina... what do you think?" Kizaru, who was always by Reina's side, appeared at some point and attacked him while mocking him.

"Thoughts? You probably won't like to hear them... because once they escape today, you'll be busy from now on!" Reina replied nonchalantly.

"It's alright! At least... you definitely can't escape today! Ice Block - Two-Spiked Spear!" Aokiji's figure flashed out from behind Reina and attacked him directly.

"Are you targeting me? Why don't you go after all those vicious bastards, but instead come after me, the old, weak, and disabled?" Reina said unhappily as he barely dodged Aokiji's attack.

"Haven't you heard of the saying 'pick on the weak'?" Lieutenant General Onigumo said as he attacked Reina.

"Damn it, I'm not playing with you anymore! Bankai!" Reina, wielding Hyōrinmaru, finally released Hyōrinmaru and prepared to break through.

"Trying to leave? Not so easy! Yata Mirror!" After Reina took off using his wings, the vice admirals abandoned him and left the rest of their opponents hanging in the air, but Kizaru kept his eyes on him.

"What a wicked creature! Looks like I have no choice but to shift the blame!" Reina looked at the icy wings that had been hit, gave a wry smile, and could only lower his altitude and fly towards the golden lion.

“Brother Shiki…this yellow-skinned monkey is really troublesome. Why don’t you help me deal with it?” As he got closer, Reina saw that the barrel was trying to stop him and immediately spoke up.

"Hahahaha... Just a mere yellow-skinned monkey, Brother Reina, you should handle it yourselves! You have quite a few marines here, bro!" Golden Lion showed no intention of helping and directly refused.

However, perhaps because he heard Shiki call him a yellow-skinned monkey, Kizaru's attack on Reina also directly covered them.

"Damn it! Kizaru! Are you looking for death?" The Golden Lion and the others were naturally furious. They were the only small team at the moment, so they were in the best condition. Suddenly attacked by Kizaru, they naturally wanted to fight back.

Actually, besides them, Crocodile's side was also a small team, but their strength was too weak. Mr. 3 was defeated in no time, and Mr. 2 and Mr. 1 didn't seem to last long either. If it weren't for Crocodile protecting them, they would probably have already fallen by now.

I took a quick look at the battlefield. The battles in various places were quite intense, especially with old man Garp. He seemed to have gone mad, and he would beat anyone he could get his hands on. It was impossible not to be beaten away if he had his eye on you. Even Baron Redfield, who had the ability of a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, could not withstand old man Garp's beatings.

Although Garp himself was covered in blood, he was like a tireless fighting machine, and Reina dared not approach him at all.

If he were in his prime, he might have dared to test the waters with the other party, but now... it's better to lie low and not be discovered by the other party.

"That guy... why doesn't his strength show any signs of decreasing? In fact, he seems even stronger than before?" Shiki also noticed Garp's abnormality, feeling that Garp was too strong for his liking.

Reina rolled his eyes. This was something Oda himself admitted: the only bastard in the entire One Piece world who wasn't bothered by age.

"Brother Shiki, now is not the time to dwell on this. Let's think about how to escape!" Reina said helplessly from not far away.

"If you summon that fox again, we can definitely escape!" Golden Lion looked around; the area was now completely surrounded by naval warships.

Reina rolled his eyes and replied, "If I could still summon, wouldn't I have done it already?"

"Then what use are you now?" the Golden Lion said unhappily.

Although Reina really wanted to refute the other party, Golden Lion was absolutely right; he was just a burden now.

If you can't recover your strength, hiding in the Tower of Trials is the best option right now.

But he was also somewhat unwilling; that was ten thousand points! Just like that, lost?

Moreover, going to the Tower of Trials is not foolproof. Right now, it can only be his idea. What if he doesn't go in and the system kicks him out? That would be terrible.

If the battle here ends, that's fine. But if it doesn't end, wouldn't my 10,000 points have been wasted?

That's why Reina hasn't taken any action yet; he doesn't want to enter the Tower of Trials to hide unless absolutely necessary.

Just as he was thinking about how to escape, he was unknowingly forced back to the center of the battlefield by Kizaru. With no other choice, he could only flee in this direction to avoid Garp. Fortunately, there were too many battlegrounds here, and after he got there, Kizaru was no longer able to forcibly chase and fight him.
