Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

The appearance of the kappa surprised both the jailers and the prisoners.

"Kiku, it's been so many years! You're still the same as before! Raizo too!" The kappa seemed quite happy to see his two old friends.

For Raizo and Okiku, it had only been a short time since they parted, but for the kappa, it had been a full twenty years.

"Everyone, prepare the plague bombs! What's with that guy? Why are there three more intruders?!" Seeing Raizo, Kiku, and Chopper suddenly appear, Babanuki felt that things were getting a bit tricky.

"Release Mr. Luffy Taro right now!" Kiku shouted at the prisoners holding Luffy, sword in hand.

"Who are you? Why...why..." The prisoners were astonished to see Kiku and Raizo, who were quite familiar with Kappa Kawamatsu.

"Kiku! Raizo!" At this moment, Hyogoro also stepped forward and called out to the two of them.

"You...you are really Boss Hyogoro?" Kiku and Raizo asked in disbelief.

“That’s right! You all wouldn’t recognize me like this, would you? But you all look… just like back then! However…” Hyogoro smiled slightly and said, “Explain your identities to everyone! If you want those who have been discouraged or who have fought back but were severely defeated to get back on their feet, you can’t do it by keeping your heads covered like this!”

“You…you are absolutely right!” Kiku and Raizo nodded in agreement, removing their headscarves at the same time. Kiku also put on a Yaksha mask and said in unison, “If we don’t gain everyone’s trust first…then we are indeed just spirits!”

"Wait... that guy... could he be... Fukurokuju's formidable rival, the ninja—Kirigami Raizo?"

"That mask! Isn't that the demon that should have been destroyed along with Oden Castle... Kikunojo, the most handsome swordsman in Wano Country?"

"And there's Yokozuna Kawamatsu, who is both a samurai and the strongest warrior!"

"It's true, it's a real disaster!"

"That old man really is the Flower Heigoro from back then!"

Upon discovering the true identities of Ajuku and the others, the prisoners became excited. Although they were in despair, as long as they still had companions and leaders, they did not want to give up the opportunity.

"These guys... just as Orochi said! I need to report to Lord Kaido right away!" Babanuki realized at this moment that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better.

"No! Since you've already seen it... then I can only ask you to shut up!" Kiku's voice came from behind Shura's mask, startling Chopper.

"Huh? This mask is terrifying! And... Kiku... you're actually a guy?" Chopper looked shocked, seemingly unable to believe it at all.

Chapter 562 Reina's Actions

Meanwhile, on Quinn's way to Onigashima, everyone was watching the unconscious old woman with great tension. They were unaware that ahead of them, the two mysterious figures who had appeared at the quarry earlier were rapidly advancing towards Onigashima.

"Once we get to Onigashima, I'll help you find a place to hide. You know what will happen if you're discovered, right?" the tall man in black said softly.

"Who exactly are you? Why can you freely enter and leave Onigashima? Are you in league with Kaido?" Kang asked, his face full of smiles but his tone filled with great doubt.

He never expected that the other party would bring him to Onigashima.

“Now that things have come to this, I certainly won’t keep it from you any longer! Mr. Kang, it’s been a long time!” In front of the Kang family, Reina took off the hood of his trench coat that was covering his face and said with a big smile.

"You...you are...?" Kang Jia looked at Reina carefully, vaguely remembering seeing this person somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

"Do you remember? Back then, when my older brother and I came to Wano Country, Oden insisted on coming to sea with us!" Reina reminded us with a smile.

"It's you? You're from the Whitebeard Pirates!" Kang Jia's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he exclaimed in disbelief.

“That’s right, I am the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates! Known as Red-Eyed Reina!” Reina nodded and replied.

"I never expected that you would come to Wano Country again!" After learning about Reina's identity, the Kang family took two steps back and bowed to Reina.

"What is Mr. Kang doing?" Reina quickly stepped forward, helped Mr. Kang up, and asked.

"Let's not talk about your life-saving grace! After Oden was killed by Kaido, I heard that you specially came from the outer sea and fought a fierce battle with Kaido! Not only did you save Momonosuke and Hiyori, but you also bought some time for us!" Kang insisted on bowing to Reina and said earnestly.

"It's a pity I fell for Kaido's trick back then. I arrived in such a hurry that not only did I fail to save Oden, but I also got a severe beating from Kaido and his crew! If it weren't for Lady Toki, I might have been captured by Kaido!" Reina shook his head, sighed, and said:

“Later, I always wanted to avenge Oden! My elder brother also tried many times to come to Wano Country again! Unfortunately, Wano Country has been controlled by Kaido, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We have no chance of entering Wano Country at all!” Reina shook his head helplessly and replied.

"There's nothing we can do about it. If we could have contacted you sooner... Sigh! If Oden hadn't believed Kaido and Orochi's lies, Wano Country wouldn't be in this state now!" Kang said with a sorrowful expression.

But after saying that, he remembered something, looked up at Reina, and asked, "So you came to Wano Country this time... to defeat Kaido?"

Reina shook his head and said, "The Whitebeard Pirates are being closely watched by the Navy right now. If we make any move, the World Government and the Navy won't let this opportunity pass! So the Whitebeard Pirates can't be touched! I came here secretly too! But that straw-hatted kid you saw earlier, he's the main force this time!"

"I see, but why did you come to Oni Island?" Kang asked, puzzled.

“Although I really wanted to come to Wano Country secretly, I was discovered by Kaido as soon as I arrived, so I had to step forward to draw Kaido’s attention for the Straw Hat Pirates. This time, I also went to rescue you secretly, so I have to go back before Queen returns to Onigashima, so that Kaido will focus his attention on me and make it easier for the Straw Hat Pirates to act!” Reina said with a smile.

"I see. So what do you need me to do?" Kang asked.

“No need. You’ve done all you can. They have a Serpent spy among them now, so if you show up again… it’ll be bad!” Reina shook his head and said.

"What? An undercover agent?" Kang Jia looked at Reina in disbelief and asked, "Did Kin'emon and the others know about this?"

“They don’t believe me!” Reina shook his head and replied.

"Foolish! How could they not believe you, Your Excellency? Back then..." Kang Jia seemed quite angry when he heard that Kin'emon and the others didn't believe Reina, and said directly, "Who is the traitor? Does Your Excellency Reina already know? Tell me, and I'll inform them. If they dare not believe me, I'll beat them to death!"

“The traitor is Kanjuro!” Reina said softly.

If the Yasuie family can deal with Kanjuro sooner, it will be a good thing for the Straw Hat crew.

"What? Brother Kanjuro? Lord Reina, are you sure you're not mistaken? Brother Kanjuro is Oden's samurai, one of the Akagi!" Although Kang's face was smiling, his eyes revealed great shock.

“If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn’t distrust me! And an ordinary person… wouldn’t be qualified to be a mole!” Reina said softly.

“You’re right! In this matter, you can’t be too cautious! But do you have any evidence? It’s really not good to suspect your comrade without evidence! But if you have any evidence or what makes you certain that Brother Kanjuro is the traitor?” Kang Jia, as expected of a veteran, quickly calmed down and was willing to listen to Reina’s explanation.

Reina then recounted his analysis from before entering Wano Country.

“Your analysis is correct! Moreover, the fact that the code and the crescent moon were leaked this time is quite strange. Logically speaking, since Kanjuro has been suspected before, he shouldn’t have jumped out at this time!” Kang Jia nodded, but then frowned and said.

"Coming with Straw Hat Luffy was his ally, the Heart Pirates! Not long ago, members of the Heart Pirates were captured by Kaido's subordinates!" Reina said with a light laugh.

"Perhaps he saw this opportunity and deliberately leaked it at this time! This way, no one has any evidence to prove that he leaked it. To prove it, we must first rescue those pirates! By then, whether he is exposed or not will not matter much! Moreover, the code and the crescent moon are important clues for whether we can gather our companions! Even if he is exposed, as long as he ruins this plan, he, the traitor, will have died a worthwhile death!"

Upon hearing this, Kang Jia lowered his head and thought carefully before looking up and saying, "Although what you said makes a lot of sense, it's all just speculation without absolute evidence. Kin'emon and the others wouldn't attack their own comrades. But if it were me, I would isolate Kanjuro first! Because he is indeed a suspect!"

"We're doing this not only to clear his name, but also to ensure our plan isn't actually leaked! Everything is for our own purposes! If he were an ally, he would understand!"

Kang's words greatly impressed Reina. Kin'emon was too dull or too inexperienced. Compared to these seasoned veterans, he was far inferior. If it weren't for good luck, they wouldn't have even been able to reach Onigashima, let alone seek revenge.

“In that case, after we arrive at Onigashima, I’ll have Hard Shell send you back to Kuri! Go see Kin’emon! But don’t let Kanjuro know about your situation!” Reina said after thinking for a moment.

Kin'emon and his group do indeed need an elder like the Kang family to advise them!

Chapter 563 Yamato Who Calls Himself Oden

After Reina arrived at Oni Island, he had Hard Shell escort the Kang family to Kuri.

Moreover, he breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he arrived at Onigashima, because he could feel that his clone on Onigashima was still there.

After separating from Kaido, Reina used the Shadow Clone Technique to create a clone in order to deceive Kaido, who was on Onigashima. It seems that things are going well.

After quickly returning to his room, Reina immediately canceled the clone spell. According to the memories transmitted by the clone, nothing had happened. During that time, Jin sent someone over to ask if he needed anything, but the clone dismissed them.

After tidying up a bit, Reina came out of the room.

"Lord Reina, what are your orders?" The guard at the door asked immediately as Reina came out.

"Where is Kaido?" Reina chuckled and asked.

He knew that these guards were more likely to be watching him than protecting him.

"Lord Kaido is in the banquet hall. I heard that some guests will be arriving soon!" the guard replied respectfully.

"Alright, take me to the banquet hall! Let me see what kind of guests have come that Kaido has cleared out the banquet hall!" Reina replied with a smile and a wave of his hand.

Led by his guards, Reina arrived at the banquet hall and met Kaido and King.

"It's Reina! Have you rested well?" Kaido asked with a smile when he saw Reina.

The other party gave him face by staying on Onigashima without causing any trouble. In return, he would also give Reina face. Although his subordinates came to report that Robin had been lost, it didn't matter. He had already given the order to capture her, but it was strictly forbidden to injure her. As for her companions... they wouldn't receive such good treatment.

“You rested quite well, but…” Reina said, glancing at Jhin beside him, “Next time, to make sure I’m not here, you can come in person. Don’t send those henchmen!”

Upon hearing this, Kaido looked at King in surprise, as he truly had no idea about this.

Jin smiled but didn't say anything. He was only doing this as a precaution.

"Hehehehe... Don't worry about the details. It's perfect that you're here. We'll have some new guests arriving later, shall we meet them together?" Kaido said with a loud laugh.

"Oh? Who is this person that you would use the banquet hall for? I'm actually quite curious!" Reina asked knowingly.

"You'll know when she arrives! Let's have a drink first!" Kaido didn't say it directly, but smiled and told his subordinates to prepare drinks for Reina!

"You're having such a great time! You have so much wine you can't even finish it all, unlike us on Xuan Yue Island, where we have to worry about so many things!" Reina picked up a big bowl and gulped down several mouthfuls.

"How about it? Want to come work for me? I can give you the position of vice admiral!" Kaido said with a smile.

“We’re incompatible! Even if I came, it wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing for your Beasts Pirates!” Reina shook his head and replied.

"Hehehehe... You're right!" Kaido actually thought about it seriously before agreeing.

However, after saying that, he turned to his subordinate and said, "Has the young master been found? Tell him to come and see a guest, why isn't he coming!"

"Sir, the young master has been found and is in his room. Should we go and fetch him now?" The subordinate immediately stepped forward and said.

"Okay! Bring him here!" Kaido's expression softened upon hearing this, and he gave the order.

Not long after, Yamato, wearing a mask and handcuffs, followed the guards in. As soon as he entered the banquet hall, he immediately yelled at Kaido, "You old geezer, why did you call me to accompany your guest? Can't you do it yourself?"

"Yo~ This is young master Yamato? He's got quite the spirit!" Reina was immediately intrigued when he saw the other man cursing Kaido, and said with a smile.

"And who are you?" Yamato, wearing a mask, looked at Reina and asked with displeasure.

"Huh?" At this moment, Reina realized that the other party was obviously a woman, but why did Kaido call him son?

“Young Master, this is the famous, the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates… Akame Reyna!” King glanced at the surprised Reyna and said softly.

"Reina?" Yamato was taken aback, then immediately removed his mask, looking at Reina with a delighted expression, and exclaimed, "It's you! First mate, do you still recognize me? It's me! Oden!"

Upon hearing Yamato's words, Reina's eyes nearly popped out of his head in shock, his expression one of utter disbelief. He tentatively asked Yamato, "Who did you say you were? Oden? Kozuki Oden?"

As he spoke, he kept glancing at Kaido.

As expected, Kaido's face darkened immediately, and he roared at Yamato, "Damn it, what nonsense are you spouting? Oden is long dead!"

"No, the human mind... never dies! I am Oden's successor! The new Oden!" Yamato said with an air of self-righteousness.

"What? A new Oden? So you're not Oden anymore?" Reina blinked and asked.

He was genuinely frightened just now, thinking that Oden's soul had transmigrated into Kaido's daughter's body after his death. Now it seems that it wasn't so far-fetched after all.

"I am Oden, and I am also Yamato!" Yamato said with a serious expression, "I am Yamato who inherited Oden's thoughts!"
