Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"It's alright, let's go into Wano Country first! But we have to be careful, there aren't many roads into Wano Country, and Kaido might be setting up defenses here! We don't want to be wiped out here before we even see him!" Reina said with a light laugh.

"Don't worry! We know how to get in!" Kin'emon and the others said with a hint of confidence.

After all, this is their hometown. If they can't even get in the door, wouldn't that be too unreasonable?

"That's good, but before we enter Wano Country, there's one more thing we need to do!" Reina said with a smile and a shake of his head.

"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at Reina in confusion and asked.

"Don't you find it strange? Speaking of Kin'emon, you're from twenty years ago, right? We met back then, and you look exactly the same as you did back then. Momonosuke is Oden's child, isn't he? Twenty years have passed, and he still looks like a child?" Reina asked with a half-smile.

Reina's words caused everyone except Inuarashi and Nekomamushi to look at them in surprise, especially the Straw Hat crew. They all considered themselves to have a life-or-death bond with each other, but now it seemed that they were hiding a lot of things!

“I’m sorry, Mr. Reina! It’s not that we intended to hide it, it’s just… we just didn’t know how to bring it up!” Kin’emon stepped forward and said, “Do you know about Lady Toki’s abilities?”

“Ashi? All I know is that she’s also an ability user, and she seems to be from a long time ago, not from our time!” Reina nodded and said.

“That’s right. According to Lady Toki, she is a user of the Time-Time Fruit and can travel through time. However, she can only travel to the future and cannot go back to the past. So, at crucial moments, she sends us to twenty years in the future!” Kin’emon nodded and said.

"The Time Fruit? There's actually such a fruit? That's incredible!" Everyone, including Trafalgar Law, felt incredulous.

"So you came here twenty years ago just to defeat Kaido? You should know a little about what happened back then, right? I warned Oden before he went back, but because of his personality, it led to the tragedy of Wano Country. You can't deny that even if you don't admit it!" Reina said softly.

Seeing that Kin'emon and the others seemed about to object, Reina waved his hand and said, "No need to say these things, none of them are important. What's important is... you come from twenty years ago... but why are people chasing you?"

Kin'emon was stunned, as were Law, Nekomamushi, and Inuarashi.

"Perhaps someone saw us when we went out to sea?" Kin'emon said after thinking for a moment.

"You think that's possible?" Reina chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Even if someone saw you, who could be sure of your identities from a distance? Even if you stood in front of the people of Wano Country right now and said you were Kin'emon, one of the Red Guards, do you think they would believe you?"

Nekomamushi and Inuarashi exchanged bewildered glances and asked, "Why is that? Right! Why would someone be chasing Kin'emon and the others?"

“Because there is a spy among you!” Trafalgar Law said softly from the side.

"Damn it, what are you saying?" Everyone from Wano Country, including Kin'emon, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi, glared angrily at Trafalgar Law.

They are all like-minded comrades who have been through life and death together; it is impossible for any of them to betray them!

“Then tell me… why are you being hunted down? Why can the enemy always find your location? Why can Jack… go to Zou? Kittens, puppies! Think about it… can an ordinary person… reach Zou?” Reina asked calmly.

"No, this is impossible!" Kin'emon could not accept the fact that there was a spy among them.

Chapter 546 Arrival at the Destination

Everyone was stumped by Reiner's question. Yes, why were they constantly being chased and attacked by the enemy? They had thought it was a coincidence before and hadn't given it much thought, but now that Reiner had asked, they had to start thinking about it.

"Don't mistakenly believe that just because the Whitebeard Pirates are involved, we've guaranteed victory. Let me tell you, the Beasts Pirates and Kaido aren't so easy to deal with!" Reina shook his head and said, "If we can't resolve this before the battle, there's no point in us entering Wano Country!"

“I agree with Mr. Reina!” Trafalgar Law nodded and said, “This is indeed the first and most important thing to solve!”

Kin'emon and the others remained silent; they did not speak.

At a time like this, when everyone should be united, he really didn't want to do such a thing. Besides, there wasn't 100% evidence to prove there was a traitor!

He couldn't bring himself to say it, because he knew that these people had come here simply to help Wano Country.

"What? Not coming out on your own? Do I need to call your name? The orphan of the Kurotan family..." Reina said with a light laugh.

"What?" Kin'emon looked at Reina in surprise and said, "The heir of the Kurozumi family? Mr. Reina, are you mistaken? We don't have anyone from the Kurozumi family here!"

However, he didn't notice that Kanjuro was already drenched in sweat.

“The situation is actually quite simple now. Of the few of you, besides Momonosuke, Kin'emon, Kanjuro, and Raizo are the suspects! Each of you three, please explain why you are not spies!” Reina shrugged and said with a smile.

"This...this...I couldn't possibly be a spy!" Kin'emon shook his head, somewhat bewildered, and said, "If I were a spy..."

As he spoke, Kin'emon shook his head in disbelief.

“That’s right, Kin’emon couldn’t possibly be a spy, I believe him!” Momonosuke nodded in agreement.

"So, of these three, who do you not trust? Don't say such pointless things!" Reina shook his head and said.

Momonosuke's expression changed. Right! Who could he trust among these three? He could trust anyone, so why was there a spy?

"Alright, let's leave Kin'emon's reasons here for now. Now it's your turn!" Reina ignored Momonosuke and pointed at Raizo beside him, asking, "Tell me, why can't you be a spy!"

Like Kin'emon, Raizo looked completely bewildered, because they couldn't find a reason for themselves to be spies, and because they had never done it before, they didn't know how to explain it.

"Can't explain it? Then it's your turn! Mr. Kanjuro! Tell me why you're not a spy!" Reina smiled slightly, not dwelling on Raizo, and instead asked Kanjuro.

"Me? I couldn't possibly be a spy. If I were a member of the Kurozumi family, I would have had countless opportunities to kill the young master! But I didn't do it, so I can't be a spy! Besides, why must it be a spy? Isn't there any other possibility?" Kanjuro said, feigning calmness.

“Hmm! Your explanation is perfect! Of course, that's only in comparison to the two of them, since their explanations were rather incoherent!” Reina said with a smile and a shrug.

Upon hearing Reina's words, Trafalgar Law's expression suddenly changed. After giving his crew a wink, they began to quietly change their positions, subtly surrounding Kanjuro.

However, Kin'emon, Raizo, and Momonosuke did not notice anything amiss, perhaps because they simply did not believe that there could be such a thing as an internal traitor.

“Well then, young man, how about I leave the rest to you?” Reina had already figured it out, and Trafalgar Law had already figured it out, so he said to him with a smile.

"Let them handle this themselves! Kin'emon, I'll just say one thing: you and Reina, because you've never considered the possibility of a traitor, your reasons are practically the same, so it's as if you're saying nothing at all. But someone else can find enough excuses. What does that mean? It means he's seriously thought about this issue!" Trafalgar Law glanced at Kin'emon and said.

Trafalgar Law's words made Kin'emon and the others all look at Kanjuro. Kanjuro, somewhat flustered, took a few steps back and waved his hand, saying, "Don't you believe me?"

Kin'emon said with a grim expression, "Kanjuro, if we don't trust you, how can we trust ourselves? We are like-minded partners! I will never believe anything unless you tell me yourself!"

“But Kin’emon, we can’t afford to lose our reinforcements in this situation! So… please treat me as a spy. That way we can get strong support from the Whitebeard Pirates and completely dispel any distrust within our ranks!” Kanjuro nodded and said directly to Kin’emon.

Kin'emon looked reluctant, then calmly said to Kanjuro, "Don't worry, after you die, we will definitely fulfill our master's wish!"

Reina, standing to the side, was completely baffled. What had this guy discovered? Or was he just saying it for no reason?

But just as Kanjuro was about to surrender, Momonosuke suddenly hugged Kin'emon and cried out, "No! Kanjuro is our comrade! Kin'emon, don't do this!"

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, standing to the side, also looked reluctant to let go, while only Trafalgar Law and Robin were completely on Reina's side.

"Alright, stop making those moves. Since you don't believe me, let's go our separate ways in Wano Country!" Reina said, pouting and looking very unhappy.

“I agree. I can no longer trust you. Since you believe there are no spies among you, then we can only operate separately. We’ll meet every now and then to share intelligence!” Trafalgar Law nodded and said.

Zoro, Franky, and Usopp, who were left, looked at Robin.

"I'll go with Father! Usopp and Franky, you two go with Kin'emon, Zoro can go alone!" Robin said after thinking for a moment.

With the captain and Nami absent, Robin is the only one who can make the decision.

After Robin made her decision, Zoro glanced at her thoughtfully, nodded, and said nothing.

As for Momonosuke, Kin'emon, and the others, they remained silent.

"Alright, now that we've made up our minds, let's go into Wano Country! But I won't be going with you guys, Robin, let's go!" Reina shook his head, took Robin with him, and jumped onto Liuli's head.

Liu Liu was someone Reina had specifically notified to come over, and she had been guarding the ship's side, following Robin's orders.

Now all we need to do is let Ryuu catch a big carp, and then Reina and Robin can enter Wano Country.

However, the freshwater here had some impact on Ryuu, but fortunately it didn't last long. There were quite a few large carp here, so Reina and Robin quickly entered Wano Country.

"Father, where are we going now?" Robin asked curiously after arriving in Kuri, Wano Country.

“This is Kuri, formerly Oden’s territory, but it’s now abandoned. It’s also a place Kaido will definitely be monitoring, so let’s not move around here!” Reina said with a light laugh.

"So where do we go?" Robin had complete trust in Reina.

“Rin-go and Hakumai are both fine. That's the Shimotsuki family's territory, and the Shimotsuki Yasuie is probably in charge right now, but who knows, after all, Kaido is capable of anything! Anyway, let's go take a look first!” Reina said after thinking for a moment.

“Okay!” Robin knew nothing about Wano Country, so she followed Reina wherever he went.

When the two arrived at White Dance, they found that it was no longer the same as it used to be. Robin was especially furious after learning about the existence of those pleasure-seekers!

"Alright, don't be angry. In that case, let's hide here! We'll go out when all our forces are assembled!" Reina said to Robin with a smile, trying to comfort him.

“But Father… don’t you think Kaido has gone too far? These people…” Robin said with some reluctance.

“This is destiny!” Reina shook his head and said, “Your relationship with the Shimotsuki family goes far beyond this. The swordsman in your team… is very likely related to a great swordsman from Wano Country whom I know!”

"Huh? Father, you mean Zoro?" Robin asked in surprise.

“I can’t say for sure right now! But it’s very possible! When you take him to meet the Frostmoon Kang family, you should understand!” Reina shook his head, not explaining in detail.

“I need to continue my training for the rest of the time, so you are free to do as you please! If anything happens, come here. Or if you are accidentally captured by the Beast Pirates, just tell Kaido that I am also in Wano Country, so he won’t make things too difficult for you!” Reina said with a smile.

“Okay!” Robin nodded, and after dressing like someone from Wano Country, she went straight to the capital city—the Flower Capital—wanting to see what was going on there.

Meanwhile, Luffy and his crew finally arrived at Whole Cake Island and met Sanji. However, just as Reina had said, Sanji was unwilling to leave, not for any other reason than that he had been threatened.

Everything proceeds according to the original plot, the only difference being Jinbe. Not only has he never joined the Big Mom Pirates, but he is now the helmsman of the Sun Pirates under Whitebeard.

This surprised Big Mom, so she didn't make things too difficult for the invading Straw Hat crew. Big Mom was completely unaware that Brook had stolen the Red Road Poneglyph.

"You...you're really amazing!" Nami kept patting Brook.

Despite Pedro's help, they were still very surprised when they actually received the rubbings of the road sign's text.

“Now we’ve got two portions. Once we get to Wano Country and defeat Kaido, we’ll get the third! Then we can go to Crescent Moon Island!” Nami clenched her fist and said.

Chapter 547 The Role of the Tower of Trials

"Now all we need to do is resolve Sanji's inner conflict, and then we can escape together!" Nami was full of hope for the future.

"Although I don't know why Big Mom hasn't attacked us, we should still be careful!" Jinbe felt a little uneasy. His mother's tea party was coming up soon, and if they didn't resolve this before the tea party, it would definitely be quite troublesome.

Especially now that Luffy has disappeared, they can only capture Brulee and hide in her mirror world.

"Hmph! You've gone against Mother and you still want to escape from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand? You're dreaming! That's absolutely impossible!" Brulee, who was tied up, said angrily.

Nami looked at Brulee with a strange expression and said, "Fine, you're just a tool now, so we won't make things difficult for you. However... we absolutely won't let you go before we escape."

Before they came to Whole Cake Island, Reina had told them that if they encountered a person named Brulee who looked like a witch, they should not harm her. They could use her abilities, but they should not actually hurt her.

They didn't know why Reina said that.

Actually, Reina was just afraid that they would really hurt Brulee, and then an angry Katakuri would be someone they couldn't handle.

You know, Katakuri was so self-centered back then that Brulee was disfigured. From then on, he became a perfect older brother who never failed and never even touched the ground with his back in front of others.

Furthermore, although he is only one of the so-called Three Sweet Commanders in the Big Mom Pirates, he actually has a higher status than his older brother Perospero and is definitely a Yonko's first mate level powerhouse.

In addition to Big Mom's food cravings, which are essentially mental problems, this is related to her Soul-Soul Fruit ability, so she is often out of sorts.

Therefore, Katakuri's attitude and strength become even more important.

As long as they don't really offend Katakuri, their chances of escaping from Whole Cake Island are still quite high.
