Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Leave it to you alone?" Ace said, frowning.

Clearly, Reyna alone probably can't handle two Yonko, plus Jhin and Quinn.

"Who told you I was alone? Once the fight starts, don't say anything, just leave!" Reina gave the two of them a look and then tossed the Hyōrinmaru in his hand.

A flash of white light, and Hyōrinmaru transformed into human form.

Although Hyōrinmaru in human form is quite powerful, he uses Reina's power. Therefore, for a long time, he did not let Hyōrinmaru fight in human form, because that would put too much strain on him and he would not be able to withstand a high-intensity, prolonged battle.

But things are different now. His main goal now is to create chaos so that Marco and Ace can leave first, which requires him to unleash a powerful burst of strength in an instant.

"Linlin... how are you? Should we team up and see?" Kaido asked, turning to Big Mom as he saw that Reina was ready for battle.

"Well, well, well~ that's fine, but who becomes the Pirate King... it all depends on their own abilities! Kaido!" Big Mom said with a strange laugh.

"Then... let's turn this world upside down! First... let's start with the Whitebeard Pirates!" Kaido finished speaking and raised his spiked club.

"Napoleon...we're going!" The old woman also raised her large knife and shouted loudly.

"Go!" Reina roared, his eyes flashing red light, and a layer of purple energy enveloped his entire body.

"Six-Cloth Ice Formation!" Hyōrinmaru raised his hand, and six white rays of light enveloped Kaido and the others. Snowflakes began to gather, forming a large formation made of ice and snow.

Chapter 566 The Power Structure Becomes Clear

As Reina engaged Kaido and Big Mom in battle, Queen and King charged directly at Marco and Ace, but Marco and Ace chose to retreat immediately.

This stunned Jhin and Quinn. Weren't they here to help Reyner?

"You idiot! You go first!" Just then, Reina, who was supposed to be fighting Kaido and Big Mom, suddenly appeared in front of Queen.

Queen was stunned on the spot and subconsciously looked towards Kaido and Big Mom, only to find that there was also a Reina there who was preparing to fight Kaido and Big Mom.

"Bang!" Before Quinn could react, he was kicked by Reina and sent flying.

On the other side, Kaido and Big Mom were somewhat surprised that Reina actually intended to take the challenge head-on.

You should know that if the two of them joined forces, even if Whitebeard came, he wouldn't dare to confront them head-on like this.

"Boom~~!"

Kaido and Big Mom's attacks struck Reina directly, but Reina disappeared in a puff of white smoke with a "bang," making Big Mom and Kaido immediately sense that something was wrong.

But at that moment, Hyōrinmaru's attack arrived, freezing Kaido and Big Mom in the air.

"How is this possible?" Seeing Quinn being knocked away by Reyner, Jhin didn't have time to think and attacked Reyner.

"Hahaha... I'm not playing with you anymore!" However, Reina did not take the bait. Instead, he waved his hand, and Hyōrinmaru turned into a white light and returned to Reina's hand.

"Crack~ Crack~" At this moment, Kaido and Big Mom, who were frozen in ice, broke free of the ice and ran away, just in time to see Reina fleeing.

"Damn it! How dare you play me for a fool!" Kaido was so angry that he almost threw his spiked club away.

If he hadn't known that this wouldn't work, he might have really lost it.

After emerging from the skull on Onigashima, Reina found Ace and Marco waiting for him on the shore.

"Let's go!" Without saying a word, Reina activated Hyōrinmaru's Bankai state, grabbed Ace, and flew towards Kuri, with Marco following behind him.

"Hey... what's going on here? Why is that old lady here too?" Marco, who was following behind Reina, asked with a wry smile.

"Sister Lingling came after Luffy. Didn't you hear about the good things that bastard did in Whole Cake Island?" Reina said with a headache.

"You've provoked two Yonko at once, Ace. Your brother is stronger than us!" Marco joked.

"Hahaha... That guy has always been like this since he was a child, never well-behaved!" Ace said with a light laugh.

“Forget it, there’s no point in saying all this now. At least with you here, our chances of winning are a bit better. By the way, Marco, go look over at the waterfall. The old lady’s children should still be there. Give them another look when you get there, and let them know that we’re not to be trifled with!” Reina nodded and said.

“Okay, where shall we meet then?” Marco nodded and asked.

“I’ll have someone pick you up at the beach in Jiuli!” Reina said after thinking for a moment. “If you don’t see anyone, just find out about the village of pickpockets in Jiuli yourself!”

"Understood!" Marco said, then immediately changed direction and flew towards the entrance of Wano Country.

Meanwhile, on Onigashima, after Reina and the others escaped, Kaido and Big Mom officially formed an alliance.

“Our main opponents right now are Reina, Marco, and that Fire Fist. As for the Straw Hat Pirates, they are nothing to worry about!” Kaido said directly, looking at Big Mom.

"No, don't underestimate that kid in the straw hat! And I'll have to handle him!" the older woman said with a displeased look. "And you also need to be careful. Now that Marco and the others are here, Newgate might be heading this way too!"

"Don't worry, I've already arranged for King to go there to investigate. While he's doing so, he'll also inform your children about our alliance!" Kaido nodded and said.

"That would be perfect!" the woman nodded and said.

"The Fire Festival in Wano Country is in a few days. We'll announce our alliance then, and I believe it will shock the world! At the same time, I reckon Reina and the others won't be idle either; they'll probably have a good time then!" Kaido said with a smile.

"So how will it be distributed then?" the old woman asked Kaido.

“Their target this time is me! So I’ll handle Reina, and as for Marco, I’ll leave him to King! Fire Fist and the Straw Hat crew are yours, any problems?” Kaido said after thinking for a moment.

"Well, well, no problem at all! I'll help you after I've dealt with the Straw Hat crew! Reina isn't someone you can just take on!" the old woman said with a loud laugh.

"Alright!" Kaido nodded and said, "By the way, his daughter Robin... don't kill her! She's the key to unlocking the secret of the Pirate King!"

"Don't worry, I know exactly what I'm doing! By the way, that Fire Fist... should we hand it over to the World Government? What's your relationship with the World Government...?" Big Mom looked at Kaido and asked tentatively.

"As expected of the world's strongest intelligence pirate crew! You even know about my relationship with the World Government!" Kaido didn't show much surprise, because although his relationship with the World Government was secretive, it wasn't entirely unknown to others.

"Heh, anyone with eyes can see through your cooperation with the World Government!" the old woman said disdainfully.

"Then let's leave Fire Fist Ace to the World Government! After all, we can get a lot of benefits from them in the future!" Kaido said with a smile.

Just as Kaido and Big Mom were negotiating...

Meanwhile, after retreating from the capital, Zoro brought Hiyori back to the hut where they had rested before.

This time, he wanted to reclaim his weapons; the difference between two knives and three knives was too significant for him.

Meanwhile, Luffy and his crew in the quarry prison released everyone from the prison and completely took over the quarry.

Although Babanuki used plague bombs, Chopper quickly created an antidote. Furthermore, thanks to Momonosuke's appearance, all the samurai expressed their loyalty to the Kozuki family and vowed to go to Onigashima to defeat Kaido and liberate Wano Country.

With the addition of the prisoners from the quarry, Luffy and his crew suddenly had several thousand more men, finally no longer being just a handful.

Now that they have people, what they lack are weapons and ships, since Onigashima is not inland and they must travel by boat to reach it.

Chapter 567 Famous Sword Qiushui

"I don't know where Luffy and the others are right now, so let's try to find a way to meet up with them. They probably don't know about Kaido and Big Mom's alliance yet. This is a terrible situation!" Reina said with some distress after landing on the beach in Kuri.

However, Ace told Reina that when they came here before, they seemed to have discovered that there was also a port in Kuri, but it seemed to have been abandoned.

“If Luffy and his crew want to go to Onigashima, they’ll definitely need a ship, so let’s go check it out first!” Reina said after thinking for a moment.

“Okay!” Ace nodded in reply.

Just as they were heading towards the abandoned port, Zoro, who was searching for his weapon, arrived at the place where he had encountered the bandits earlier and found the bandits who had stolen his weapon.

However, just after he defeated his opponent, someone suddenly interrupted their fight.

"Clap clap clap clap... In such a remote mountain area, what kind of dispute is this between a samurai and a monk? And although they are fighting, neither of them has any intention to kill. This is really interesting!" Kawamatsu, who had come all the way from the quarry wearing a straw hat, asked with a smile.

"Kawamatsu? Is that you?" But at that moment, Hiyori, who had come with Zoro, suddenly called out Kawamatsu's name.

"A fish-man? There are fish-men in Wano Country too?" Zoro immediately recognized the other person upon seeing his appearance; he knew the other person was definitely a fish-man.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?" Kawamatsu asked with some surprise.

"Waaaaah... Kawamatsu, it's me! Hiyori!" Hiyori ran to Kawamatsu's arms, crying loudly, her voice filled with remorse.

"I never expected to see you here... Princess! It's so good to see you safe and sound!" Kawamatsu was also very surprised to see Hiyori.

Seeing this, Zoro knew that the person in front of him was probably one of his own, so he didn't make a move.

"So that's how it is... I never imagined that the secret behind your disappearance was like this!" After listening to Hiyori's explanation of why she abandoned Kawamatsu and ran away back then, Kawamatsu was so moved that tears almost streamed down his face.

When Hiyori was just a child, she saw Kawamatsu give all the food he had painstakingly found to her, while he himself didn't eat any. Fearing that Kawamatsu would starve to death, Hiyori made a bold decision: after leaving a letter, she ran away alone.

She knew that Kawamatsu was one of the Red Guards, a powerful samurai, and a key figure in Wano Country's future revenge. He absolutely could not die here. If she weren't a burden, he could live a good life. As for herself, she still had her brother Momonosuke, and the bloodline of the Kozuki family would not be broken.

Zoro was surprised to hear that Hiyori could make such judgments and decisions even when she was a child.

Thinking about Momonosuke, whom she has encountered now, he is completely unworthy of being compared to the girl in front of her, even though he is the older brother and the first in line to inherit the Kozuki family.

Just after the kappa and Hiyori recognized each other, a group of Beast Pirates henchmen suddenly rushed out and injured the bandit who had stolen Zoro's weapon.

It turns out they had all had their weapons stolen before, so they came back specifically to seek revenge.

After defeating the henchmen, Kawamatsu explained to Hiyori and Zoro why he had come here.

"A fox?" Hiyori was quite surprised.

She knew the name of Shimotsuki Ushimaru, the daimyo of Ringo, who was a very powerful samurai, but she didn't expect that he had a fox companion.

"That's right, that komainu is named Onimaru!" He then told them about how he and Onimaru had longed to create the weapon.

"After that wounded Khan escaped, he opened this place!" Zoro said, pointing to a place that looked like a secret passage.

“That’s right, then let’s go through the passage!” Kappa nodded and went inside.

When the three of them went inside, they found that the room was filled with neatly arranged weapons, enough for several thousand people to use.

"Is it a coincidence? This kind of thing could definitely be done by humans!" Kappa was puzzled. This place should only be known to him and Onimaru, but the bandit named Ushimaru seemed to know about this place, and it seemed that he was the one who did all this.

Just as the kappa contacted Kin'emon to tell him that the weapon issue had been resolved, Hiyori outside the door earnestly asked Zoro, "Mr. Zorojuro... if your sword is truly Shusui... please return it to Wano Country, okay?"

"I told you, that's my sword!" Zoro said, glancing at Hiyori.

The two swords he now carries are Kuina's sword and Doichimonji, which had a great influence on him during his childhood, and Muramasa, a cursed sword given to him by Reina, which is extremely sharp but also very sinister.

There should have been another Qiushui sword, but it was stolen by that bandit Khan.

The demon sword Sandai Kitetsu, which he obtained from Loguetown, was mortgaged to Nami after he acquired Muramasa. So if he can't find Shusui now, his status as a three-sword style swordsman will be practically ruined.

"No, no, no... Please don't misunderstand!" Hiyori blushed and said to Zoro, "It's not that I'm asking you to give it away for free! In return, I will give you the famous sword that my late father passed down to me—Enma! It's a legendary sword that is the only one that has ever wounded Kaido!"

"Enma?" Zoro was taken aback. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Can I take a look at the sword first? As long as it's not too bad, I'll agree!"

Having lived in Wano Country for so long, and having stopped the story of the kappa, he naturally knew what Shusui meant.

“Enma isn’t with me right now. If you need, I can take you to get it!” Hiyori nodded and said.

"No, Your Highness Hiyori! How can you just give Lord Oden's sword to someone of unknown origin like this?" The kappa who happened to come out said in great shock after hearing this.
