Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Yo~ Long time no see, Ace!" A girl carrying a spiked club and wearing a mask appeared and greeted Ace.

"Yamato? What are you doing here?" Ace asked happily upon seeing him.

The newcomer was none other than Kaido's daughter, Yamato, who called herself Oden.

When Ace first came to Wano Country, he attacked Onigashima to help Tama get justice. However, Kaido was not there at the time, so Yamato was the one who faced him.

The two became friends after a brief falling out.

After dealing with the Flying Six blocking their way, the three of them, led by Yamato, found a safe place to settle down.

"So, Kaido is coming out soon?" Ace looked at Yamato and asked, "This time I'm really coming to take Kaido's head, Yamato, are you sure you're okay?"

“Yes! And please let me fight alongside you! I must complete the mission of opening the country... because with all the Red Warriors dead, I am Wano Country’s only hope! I am Oden!” Yamato said earnestly.

Luffy was speechless. Was this guy out of his mind? Oden had been dead for a long time, and he was her father's mortal enemy! And the Red Samurai were not dead at all!

"By the way, haven't you found the key to this bracelet yet?" However, Ace nodded, seemingly agreeing with what the other person said.

"Yeah, that old geezer said he didn't have the key and that he threw it away. He said it would explode as soon as I leave the area of ​​Oni Island! Even though I'm his daughter, I can't guarantee that what he said isn't true!" Yamato nodded and replied.

"It's alright, the vice-captain came to Wano Country with us this time. We can ask him for help, there won't be any problem!" Ace said with a smile.

“Is that Mr. Reina? I’ve met him before!” Yamato said with a strange expression.

Because she thought about the other person's attitude when they met before, it seemed... they weren't very friendly to her.

"Ah...hahaha...that's just like the first mate. Don't worry, nothing will happen!" Ace replied with a loud laugh after hearing Yamato's words.

“Um… I can take this off too!” Luffy interjected at this moment.

"Huh?" Ace and Yamato both looked at Luffy in surprise, especially Ace, who had no idea when his younger brother had acquired such an ability.

But at that moment, Kaido's speech came from outside, and the three had to stop their discussion and then carefully eavesdrop through the gaps to see what Kaido would say.

Chapter 581 Reina's Purpose

"The World Government's abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is not a rash decision; it's because they are confident they have the absolute power to suppress us!" Kaido appeared in the main venue, accompanied by the three Signatures and Orochi, the Shogun of Wano Country.

"That guy really dares to say that!" Reina, who had completely infiltrated the Beasts Pirates, was sitting below with Jinbe and Robin, drinking and eating.

"Father, isn't it inappropriate for us to stay here like this?" Robin said with a smile, seeing Jinbe's awkward expression.

"Hahaha... Don't mind them! The real battle hasn't even started yet!" Reina waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't be fooled by Luffy and the others' antics, look at Kaido and the others, they don't seem to care at all!"

Jinbe really wanted to say that it was because the other person didn't know you were there, but after thinking about the current situation, he just sat there quietly without saying a word.

"But the World Government and the Navy are nothing! Because... our Beasts Pirates will form an alliance with the Big Mom Pirates. We possess the strongest power and ancient weapons that terrify the world!" Kaido's speech continued.

"Ancient Weapons?" Reina frowned, looked at Robin, and asked, "I remember there were only three Ancient Weapons, right? Uranus, Pluto, and Poseidon!"

“Yes, Pluton’s whereabouts are in the Poneglyphs of Alabasta! I’ve already read them. Poseidon is Shirahoshi, the mermaid princess of Fish-Man Island. She has the ability to summon all Sea Kings and is the natural ruler of them!” Robin nodded and said, “So, the Ancient Weapon Kaido mentioned is… Uranus?”

"But shouldn't Uranus be in the hands of the Celestial Dragons? Why is he in Kaido's hands? That guy... he didn't get Uranus from the Celestial Dragons, did he? The Celestial Dragons shouldn't allow such a thing to happen!" Reina said, puzzled.

“Mr. Reina… there’s something I’ve been hesitant to ask you, and I don’t know if I should!” At this moment, Jinbe suddenly spoke up, looking at Reina with a serious expression.

"Is it about Fishman Island and Princess Shirahoshi?" Reina said with a slight smile.

“That’s right! I can’t see what the future holds, but Princess Shirahoshi, as one of the three kings, will undoubtedly play an important role in the future! So what should Fishman Island do? How should our Fishman race act to ensure that we are not wiped out in the future changes?” Jinbe nodded and asked with a worried look.

"Extermination? Don't worry! No one in this world can exterminate the Fish-Men! Not even the World Government!" Reina shook his head and said, "And as you think, Fish-Man Island will definitely play a very important role in the future, but not because of Shirahoshi, but because of your desires!"

"Desire?" Jinbe was taken aback and looked at Reina with confusion.

“That’s right! The desire to live in the sunlight!” Reina grinned and said, “Don’t you want Fishman Island to become a normal island, where all the fishmen live on the sea like humans?”

Reina's words ignited Jinbe's passion, but it quickly cooled down. He knew this was the wish of all the fish-men, but the goal was simply too difficult to achieve.

Queen Otohime paid for this with her life, but still failed.

“You’ve already participated in the World Conference, haven’t you? This is just the first step! In the future, the fish-men will be recognized by this world! And even if that doesn’t work… I’ll make it a reality!” Reina said, squinting his eyes.

"Mr. Reina... what do you plan to do?" Jinbe swallowed hard and asked with some fear.

"You know about the transformation of Xuan Yue Island, right?" Reina asked with a light laugh.

Jinbe glanced at Robin, nodded, and said, "Miss Robin has already told us that Crescent Moon Island has now become a movable island, so it no longer has a fixed location!"

“That’s right! So regarding Fishman Island, I have two plans. I’ll discuss them with Neptune later and see what he chooses! The first is that during a major upheaval in the future, Fishman Island will occupy an island in the sea. This is simple; with the help of our Whitebeard Pirates, it’s an easy matter. However, it won’t gain the world’s recognition!” Reina nodded and said:

"There's another way... that is to transform Fishman Island into something like Crescent Moon Island. This way, you can move around at any time, on the surface or underwater! The advantage of doing this is that it's safer. Even if our Whitebeard Pirates are destroyed in the future, Fishman Island can protect itself! With Sea King and Naga around, as long as you dive back to the seabed, no one can be your match!"

Jinbe looked at Reyner, whose eyes were filled with fanaticism, and asked in confusion, "Is this really possible?"

“Of course, but you’ll have to pay for the materials yourself!” Reina nodded and said, “But if you don’t have the money… there’s one last way!”

"What method?" Jinbe asked immediately.

Reina stretched out his hand and pointed in Kaido's direction.

"Kaido?" Jinbe was taken aback, even more confused.

"No! It's Luffy who's about to defeat Kaido!" Reina said with a smile.

"Luffy?" Even Robin became curious. Could Luffy help Fishman Island?

"There's no mistake, the moment I saw him... I knew! He is the chosen one of this world, an existence capable of changing the fate of the world. Fishman Island is nothing more than a piece of cake for him if he so chooses!" Reina nodded, looked at Robin, and continued:

"That's why I didn't go looking for you back then! Although I knew of your existence and that you would inevitably cross paths with the chosen one of the Land of Destiny, even though you are a descendant of Ohara, I didn't seek you out! All for the sake of making you an ally for him!"

Robin remained silent and did not speak.

“Of course, that’s because I didn’t know you were my child! Otherwise, I wouldn’t care about any of this! With me here, I can protect you for the rest of your life!” Reina sighed and said.

"What role does Father play in this world?" Robin suddenly looked up at Reina and asked.

"Hahahaha... You finally asked?" Reina said with a loud laugh.

Robin was taken aback and looked at Reina, who was laughing loudly.

"Does it feel like I know so much, yet I haven't done anything, not even have my own goals?" Reina asked with a wink and a smile.

Robin nodded and said, "Yes, Father is actually helping Luffy too, isn't he?"

“No…” Reina shook his head and said, “My goal… is simply to survive!”

Chapter 582 The War That Is About to Break Out

Jinbe and Robin looked at Reina with some confusion. If it was just about surviving, Reina could live well anywhere with his current strength, so why was he doing this now?

"Don't you understand? If you can't stand on the right side, no matter how strong you are, you will be eliminated by the times. Just like Kaido and Big Mom in front of us, aren't they strong? Very strong! But they are likely to die! Because they stand on the opposite side of the times!" Reina said with a smile.

Robin and Jin looked at each other, not quite understanding what Reina meant, but Reina didn't bother to explain further.

Big Mom soon emerged from the locker room and announced an alliance with the Beasts Pirates. This marked the first time that a pirate crew from one of the Four Emperors had formed an alliance. Such a powerful force was enough to pose a threat to any other force. If they attacked the Whitebeard Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates might not be able to withstand them.

Moreover, it seems that Nami has also been captured by Big Mom. Fortunately, Big Mom doesn't intend to kill them; she just wants to use them to lure Luffy out.

"What is Marco doing? Why was Nami captured?" Reina asked, his brow furrowing slightly.

Ace followed Luffy, while Marco followed Nami. Why is it that now that Nami has been captured, we haven't seen Marco's men?

Currently, most of the people who can trouble Marco are in this hall, so there shouldn't be any more enemies to entangle him!

Marco's mysterious disappearance gave Reina a bad feeling. There is another force hiding in the shadows, namely the World Government's CP0. Could it be that Marco encountered them?

While Reina was still watching the show, the Red-Clad Samurai had already gathered at the back door, but they encountered Kanjuro, who had faked his death and escaped from Reina's clutches, at the back door.

"I knew you'd show up here, and I was right! Hand over Kozuki Momonosuke!" Kanjuro, along with a group of Beast Pirates henchmen, blocked Kin'emon and his companions' path.

"Shut up!" Kiku no longer wanted to hear Kanjuro's nonsense. Dressed in armor, he put on the Shura mask, and at this moment, he was a samurai, a powerful samurai.

"Then, come on! After I've taken you all down, I'll go and kill that brat Momonosuke, severing the last bloodline of the Kozuki family!" Kanjuro said, launching an attack directly at Kiku.

A great battle ensued, and Kanjuro was eventually forced to flee with serious injuries.

"I'm sorry, my knife was a little slow!" Ajuku said apologetically.

No one spoke. They knew that it wasn't that Kiku's sword was slow, but that he couldn't bring himself to kill his former comrade, so he bypassed Kanjuro and escaped. But they didn't blame him, because if it were them, they might not have been able to do it either.

Having overcome the final obstacle, the Red Warriors headed towards the main banquet hall, having received word that Kaido and Orochi were there.

However, they were unaware that Kaido's speech was already coming to an end.

"So... Wano Country will become our super arsenal, and all the natives in all the places, including the Flower Capital, will be enslaved!" Kaido revealed his new Onigashima plan.

"Wait... Kaido! The Flower Capital is my territory! Who do you think you've been able to acquire so many weapons all this time thanks to?" Orochi was clearly taken aback by Kaido's lie; this was completely different from what they had agreed upon before!

However, Kaido only stared blankly at Orochi for a moment before raising his sword and severing Orochi's head.

"Who do you think you are?" Kaido glanced at the dismembered Orochi and said softly, "I'm a pirate! Whether it's Kozuki or Kurozumi, you're all just pawns! Pirates... never talk to you about these things!"

"Well, well, well, well... as expected, you're still the same as ever!" Big Mom laughed triumphantly when she saw Kaido's actions.

As one of the Four Emperors, they could never be on equal footing with a general from Wano Country, especially when the other party had little strength. The so-called cooperation was more of a joke.

"Heh... As expected, this is Kaido's style. How dare a mere Kurozumi Orochi try to negotiate with a tiger?" Reina, sitting at the table, watched the farce upstairs and chuckled.

Upon seeing their general killed, Orochi's men from Wano Country were all astonished. But before they could react, Kaido spoke up: "Now... it's your time to choose, Orochi's men. I'm giving you a chance. Do you want to join me and become pirates, or do you want to rebel for Orochi and be destroyed by me?"

"In order to prepare for the upcoming world war, I will turn this country into a true pirate empire! After that, I will definitely have greater requirements for the strength of my troops, so you still have a chance!" Kaido's words impressed Reina. This guy was not a complete fool. At least he could see that the world was about to change drastically, which is why he launched the final coup at this time.

The purpose is to maximize the benefits after future changes.

Presumably, his alliance with Charlotte Linlin was for this reason.

"The Wano Country Ninja Army, the Oniwabanshu, numbering five thousand, is willing to pledge allegiance to you!" Fukurokuju, the captain of the Oniwabanshu, directly declared the ninja army's allegiance to Kaido.

This result is not surprising at all. They were originally subordinates of the Kozuki clan, but after Orochi took power, they immediately changed their identities and became Orochi's lackeys.

"Seconded! All five thousand samurai of Wano Country will now be under your command!" Patrol Captain Hotei announced that the samurai of Wano Country had joined Kaido's camp.

"This is truly... they've completely disgraced the samurai of Wano Country! How dare these spineless cowards call themselves samurai?" The disguised Hana no Hyōgor was furious; these people had completely abandoned the spirit of the samurai.

"Well, well, well, well! The forces have been integrated quite well! Now... arrest those two! I heard Straw Hat Luffy is here too. I'd like to see if he's going to keep hiding!" The old lady pointed at Carrot and Nami beside her and said with a loud laugh.

"Father, what should we do? Should we intervene?" Robin asked Reina.

“If I were to intervene, it would mean the start of a full-scale war! But… this war shouldn’t be started by me! So let’s wait… there’s no rush!” Reina waved his hand and said softly.
