Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

“Um… Luffy’s brother! I hate to say this, but I’ll handle that big guy!” Sanji, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, stepped forward and said, “I’m not sure if I can defeat him, but it won’t do if all the strong fighters are taken by you!”

Ace was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "I see... alright then!"

As he spoke, Ace turned his gaze to Perospero, making it clear that his target had changed to Perospero.

"In that case, we'll leave the Flying Six to us!" Jinbe said with a smile, looking at the remaining five Flying Six.

As a former member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Jinbe's strength is quite good, and he can handle the Flying Six without any problem, but he can't handle Nami and the others. So overall, the two sides should be about evenly matched.

“Reina, you’ve really made something of yourself! Back then you were just a kid following us around! Now you’re a powerful figure!” BIGMOM said softly, looking at Reina.

“Sister Lingling! Why say all that now! I’m telling you seriously, it’s not too late to leave! The Great Treasure is not something you can get your hands on!” Reina shook his head and said.

"Well, well, well... The One Piece... After Kaido and I team up, even Newgate can't stop us! Let alone you brat!" Big Mom said with a loud laugh.

“BIGMOM, don’t get this wrong! My brother’s refusal to take the One Piece isn’t because he lacks the ability! It’s because he doesn’t want to! If my brother Whitebeard wanted to go to the final island, then Roger wouldn’t have a chance at all! Although Roger was indeed very powerful and ushered in the Great Pirate Era, the era that followed… was called Whitebeard! And it had nothing to do with you or Kaido!” Reina’s smile gradually faded, and he said in a deep voice.

"Well, well, well, well, don't want it? In this world, are there any pirates who don't want the One Piece? Don't make us laugh!" Big Mom said with a loud laugh.

"My captain... is not someone you can presume to know. Don't think that just because everyone talks about the Four Emperors' pirate crew, you can really stand on equal footing with our Whitebeard Pirates!" Reina pointed the Hyōrinmaru at Big Mom and said coldly, "If you want to try, I don't mind showing you... what the difference is!"

"Kid, don't think you can mess with me just because you've got some skills! When I started fighting on the high seas, you were still nowhere to be found!" Big Mom's face fell as she spoke to Reina.

"Is that so? Since we can no longer persuade each other with words, then we can only decide the victor with our hands! Be careful, if you die, don't blame me!" After saying this, Reina disappeared from the spot and reappeared behind BIGMOM.

"Powerful Strike - Flock of Birds Ice Pillar!" Reina's slash transformed into an ice dragon, heading straight for BIGMOM.

"Prometheus! Heavenly Fire - Flame Strike!" Bigmoon shouted, grabbing the sun Prometheus in his right hand, then turning and punching Reina in his direction.

"Boom!" The fire and ice collided, creating a violent explosion that even blew everyone around them away.

"Damn it, are these two trying to tear Onigashima down?" Quinn looked at the two who were acting like madmen and immediately felt extremely annoyed.

"No, we can't let them keep fighting here, or Onigashima will be destroyed! Quinn, find a way to get them to the top floor!" Jhin kicked Marco away and then said to Quinn.

He's currently preoccupied with Marco and has no time to deal with Reina, but Queen is different. Sanji is no match for Queen yet, and after being hit a few times by Queen, Sanji feels his body getting increasingly strange.

So Quinn is the one with the most time right now.

"Don't order me around! In this situation, even if I went up there, I'd only get beaten up! I'm not going!" Quinn rolled her eyes and directly rejected Jhin's suggestion.

Hearing Quinn's words, Jhin was so angry he almost fell off the sky, shouting, "You idiot! If you're not going, then come over here and hold Marco off, I'll go myself!"

After thinking for a moment, Quinn actually attacked Marco. However, Marco could fly, while Quinn could only stand on the ground. Fortunately, because of the banquet hall, Marco couldn't be too far away from him. Quinn, in his half-orc form, could threaten Marco with his neck.

With Quinn's help, Jhin was finally free to fly directly towards the place where Reyner and Big Mom were fighting.

"BIGMOM!" Jhin shouted as he flew over, "Stop fighting here! You'll destroy this place!"

"Get lost!" Big Mom and Reyna waved their hands at Jhin at the same time, directly knocking Jhin away as he flew over.

"These two bastards..." As he stood up from the ground, Jin looked at the two who seemed to be fighting fiercely and suddenly felt that things were not going well.

Meanwhile, the surrounding samurai and members of the Beast Pirates had all fled to avoid being drawn into the fight between the two.

"Hehe... Big Mom, this is Kaido's territory after all. You don't want to destroy it, do you? If we're going to fight, let's go up and fight. Let Kaido see... why our Whitebeard Pirates are called the world's number one pirate crew!" Reina looked around and said to Big Mom.

He wasn't really concerned about Onigashima being damaged, but rather he didn't want the samurai of Wano Country to be affected.

"Well, well, well, since you have this request, I'll grant it! Zeus, let's go up!" BIGMOM glanced at Reina and said with a strange laugh.

When she captured Nami, she had already reclaimed Zeus, so Zeus is now back by her side.

Chapter 588 Road Signs (Main Text)

"Well, well, Kaido, you're pretty quick!" When Big Mom and Reina reached the top of the skull, they found that all the so-called Red Warriors had fallen to the ground. The only ones still fighting Kaido were Straw Hat Luffy and Pirate Hunter Zoro, and both of them were covered in wounds.

"Hehehehe... Reina, you've finally arrived? I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Kaido seemed unsurprised to see Big Mom and Reina arrive, and laughed as he spoke.

"Hey... Kaido, when did you develop this kind of hobby? What kind of skill is it to bully these samurai?" Reina glanced at Kin'emon and the others lying on the ground and said with a light laugh.

"Some ants always overestimate themselves, wanting to challenge the strong. I have to give them a chance to see their strength! What do you say?" Kaido slung his spiked club over his shoulder and replied, "So, have you decided? Are you going to fight us?"

“Like you said, some things… always have to be done by someone, right? And… the One Piece… is not something you can get your hands on!” Reina shook his head and said.

"Hehehehe... Reina, when did you become the guardian of the One Piece? Or... are you just protecting your daughter who can decipher ancient texts? Or have you also developed your own ambitions for the One Piece?" Kaido looked at Reina and asked with a loud laugh.

"I'm not interested in the One Piece. Otherwise, what use do you think the One Piece would be to you? You don't think that just because you and Big Mom each have a Road Poneglyph, I can't get to the final island, do you?" Reina said with a light laugh. "I already made a copy of the Road Poneglyph that Linlin has. As for the one you have, it belonged to Oden's second brother back then. Do you think I can't get it?"

Reina's words caused the two to change their expressions. Indeed, if they wanted to reach the final island, the road sign text was indispensable.

"So... your Whitebeard Pirates also have a Road Poneglyph?" Kaido asked Reina.

Reina chuckled and said, "What, you want to take advantage of us? Let me tell you clearly, even if we had it, you couldn't get it. The title of the Whitebeard Pirates' number one in the world isn't something you say! It's a title we earned! And we not only have one Road Poneglyph, but I also know the location of the last Road Poneglyph!"

"Hehehehe..."

"Mmm~mmmmmmm~~"

Kaido and Big Mom burst into laughter upon hearing Reina's words.

Reina knew what they were laughing about, but he didn't think they had any ability to force him to reveal the location of the final signpost text.

"How about this... let's make a bet! We'll use Wano Country as the gambling den. If you win, the Road Poneglyphs are yours. If we win, you'll give us the Whitebeard Pirates' Road Poneglyphs and the location of the last piece!" Kaido said to Reina with a light laugh.

"Are you stupid?" Reina looked at him like he was an idiot and said, "This bet is no problem for you at all, because if you lose, the original road sign text is ours anyway, and it's the same even if we don't bet! You think you can get something for nothing?"

Luffy, seemingly confused, turned to Zoro, who was taking a break, and asked, "Zoro, why doesn't Mr. Reiner bet with Kaido and the others? We're sure to win in the end!"

Zoro rolled his eyes at Luffy and replied, "Are you stupid? Didn't Reina make it very clear just now? He already has the Road Poneglyphs that Kaido and Big Mom have. There's absolutely no need for him to bet with them!"

"Oh, I see! But... didn't Robin say that the Whitebeard Pirates also have one? So... they've already collected three? As long as they have the last one, they'll know the location of the final island?" Luffy's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief.

Zoro glanced at Luffy, thinking to himself that it was a good thing the idiot hadn't revealed that the last piece was from the Mink Tribe.

"Wait...so that means..." Obviously, Luffy had also thought of this problem. They had already obtained the Road Poneglyph from the Mink Tribe, as well as the Road Poneglyph that was originally in Big Mom's hands. Now that they had defeated Kaido, they could get the third piece. That meant that they only needed the piece from the Whitebeard Pirates to complete the set.

"Idiot, don't say it!" Zoro immediately stopped Luffy when he saw that Luffy seemed about to say something.

Startled, Luffy immediately covered his mouth, looked around anxiously, then breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said, "Thank goodness, thank goodness I didn't reveal the location of the last Road Poneglyph!"

As soon as Luffy finished speaking, everyone looked at him.

Zoro and Reina were somewhat helpless; having such a terrible teammate was enough to give them nightmares.

Kaido and Big Mom exchanged a glance, and saw a smile in each other's eyes.

The most difficult part of finding the Great Treasure was unexpectedly solved so easily.

Whitebeard had one, they each had one, and now even Straw Hat Luffy knows the last one. The most important thing is... Benedict D. Robin, who can decipher all of this, is right here!

"Well, well, it seems this battle will determine who owns the One Piece!" BIGMOM said with a sly laugh.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's finish them off and continue the banquet! Hehehehe..." Kaido said with a loud laugh.

Reina shook his head, looking at Luffy and Zoro speechlessly, and said, "You two idiots, the key reason I didn't bet with him isn't that! What will we get after we win this battle? Besides restoring Wano Country, the Road Poneglyphs will definitely be ours, so it's fine even if we don't bet!"

"Oh! I see!" Luffy and Zoro nodded simultaneously, looking as if they had just realized something, and said.

"Speaking of Straw Hats... it seems you haven't even started fighting yet!"

"Hmph! Kaido's head is mine!"

Just then, Trafalgar Law, Eustace Kid, and Kira also came up to the roof.

"Alright, everyone's here. Luffy, Law, Kaido is your responsibility now, okay?" Reina asked after seeing the three of them arrive.

“No problem!” Luffy was naturally full of confidence, while Eustass Kid glanced at Reina, because Reina hadn’t mentioned him earlier.

“Sorry, sir… pirate captain, I don’t know your name, so…” Seeing Kid glance at him, Reina shrugged and said apologetically.

“Fufufufu… He’s our captain, Eustace Kidd! Remember this, we’ll challenge you sooner or later!” Before Kidd could speak, Raki stepped forward and said.

"Ah~~ So he's a Supernova like Luffy and Law!" Reina ignored Lucky's words and instead showed a thoughtful expression, saying, "What a nostalgic title!"

Chapter 589 Melee

"Well, well, Reina, your helpers don't seem to be very effective! Well, well, well, well~~~" Big Mom laughed as she looked at the pirates who had been defeated by Kaido.

Reina was also somewhat helpless. He did not expect Luffy and the others to be defeated so quickly. Although Law, Killer and Zoro still had fighting power, Luffy and Kid, who were the main fighting forces, had fallen to the ground one after another.

"Hehehehe... This final blow will send you to hell!" Kaido, wielding his spiked club, had begun to charge up. If this attack hit, Luffy and the others would be doomed.

Reina naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch Kaido attack like that, so he flapped his icy wings and tried to fly towards Kaido.

“Well, well, well, your opponent… is me!” BIGMOM stopped Reina and said with a loud laugh.

"It seems you really want to wipe us out completely, but it won't be that easy! Go, Hyōrinmaru!" Reina threw Hyōrinmaru out of his hand and deactivated his Bankai mode.

Hyōrinmaru, suspended in mid-air, transformed into a blue light and became a humanoid figure with an X-shaped mark on its face.

"Hyōrinmaru, protect them!" After instructing Hyōrinmaru, Reina immediately summoned Senbonzakura in his hand, which blocked BIGMOM's attack.

"You brat...aren't you underestimating me? Heavenly Fire - Blazing Flame!" When Big Mom saw Reina fighting her, she actually threw her weapon to protect Luffy and the others. With a wave of her hand, she grabbed the sun Prometheus and punched Reina.

"Damn it!" Reina, who had just used Senbonzakura to block BIGMOM's slash, was unable to dodge BIGMOM's fist for the time being and had no choice but to take the hit head-on.

"Boom!"

Although Reina blocked Bigom's flaming fist with his arm, he was still knocked away by her punch.

"Well, well, Reina, you're still too green! Take this... Vigor!" Taking advantage of Reina being knocked away, BIGMOM didn't give Reina any time to adjust and directly used the giant's signature move, Vigor, to slash at Reina.

On Zoro's side, even with Hyōrinmaru's help, it only delayed the inevitable defeat. Seeing Kaido's next attack coming, Zoro tossed Luffy, whom he was carrying, to Law, saying, "I'll take this attack, but after taking it, I estimate I'll lose my fighting ability!"

"Have you all misunderstood something?" Luo said, his face darkening with displeasure.

When he first came up, Luffy asked him to take Kin'emon and the others downstairs. Now Zoro has entrusted Luffy to him for care, and Killer over there seems to have the same idea.

He's the captain!

They are key combat members like Kid and Luffy, not here for logistics.

However, Zoro ignored his complaints and charged towards Kaido with his Nine-Sword Style, slicing Kaido down with a single sword strike.

"This aura... it's Oden's!" Kaido sensed Oden's aura from Zoro. Because Oden was the only opponent who had ever injured him, Kaido had a very deep memory of Oden's aura.

Thus, after withstanding Kaido's attacks and saving everyone, Zoro temporarily lost his fighting ability. Helpless, Law had no choice but to lead the wounded to run away. Fortunately, Luffy's aftereffects from using Gear Fourth had been relieved, and he regained his fighting strength.

On the other side, Reina, who was sent flying by BIGMOM's punch, did not dare to confront the powerful BIGMOM head-on, so he used his Stand to dodge.

"Mmm~mmmmm~" Big Mom laughed triumphantly as she saw Reina get hit, but she didn't think Reina would be taken down so easily.

"This is really troublesome!" Reina, who appeared on the other side, looked at Big Mom and Kaido, who were completely unharmed, while his side was on the verge of collapse.
