Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

It was at this moment that Lucci appeared before Reina with his men.

"The guy who raises pigeons...?" The Straw Hat crew was stunned when they saw Lucci. Wasn't this the CP9 member they encountered on Enies Lobby? Why was he here?

“Benelli D. Reina!” In Lucci’s eyes, the Straw Hat crew was no longer a threat; he believed that the biggest threat was Reina.

Chapter 613 World Government

"So, your World Government has already colluded with the Beasts Pirates?" Reina said with a light laugh when he saw Lucci and his men appear.

"Collusion? No, no, no... We only have some cooperation with Wano Country! As for the Beast Pirates... we know nothing about them! After all, Wano Country isn't a member state of the World Government!" Lucci replied with a slight smile.

He didn't have the pigeons speak for him in front of Reina; instead, he spoke directly himself.

Although Reina doesn't look well right now, Chopper has wrapped him up in bandages after bringing Ashura Doji back.

However, Lucci was certain that once a battle broke out, his opponent would be able to unleash tremendous power in an instant.

Upon hearing Lucci's words, Reina's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he chuckled as he replied, "It seems the World Government has a good plan! If Kaido is defeated, you intend to take the opportunity to bring Wano Country under the World Government's jurisdiction, right? But... with just a few of you, can you really do it?"

“Of course! I think the people of Wano Country must have been eagerly anticipating this for a long time, after all, not everything can be added to the World Government! As for this matter... does your Whitebeard Pirates have any other ideas?” Lucci said, glancing at Robin, his meaning quite clear.

“Hehehe…” Reina didn’t answer directly, but smiled instead.

They are using Robin to blackmail me. If I interfere in Wano Country's affairs, they will attack Robin. Conversely, if I don't interfere in Wano Country's affairs, they won't attack Robin.

However, Reina wanted to ask if Lucci was overestimating himself. There were no easy opponents here today. Even the weakest local forces of Wano Country were not something that a few CP0 members could handle.

After absorbing a significant amount of power from the Beasts Pirates, the number of samurai in Wano Country is now much greater than before their arrival.

Therefore, Reina didn't think Lucci and his group had much of a chance of winning. Although Lucci was indeed strong, the samurai of Wano Country were also quite strong, especially Kappa Kawamatsu, who had basically preserved his fighting strength. Raizo, after defeating Fukurokuju, also still had the strength to fight.

With the Straw Hat crew, Kid's crew, and Heart Pirates members also present, it will likely be difficult for Lucci to defeat them.

Not to mention Reina's side, you should know that Marco and Esco have both retained some of their fighting strength.

“You don’t really think… there are only this many of us, do you?” Lucci naturally understood the meaning behind Reina’s laughter.

"Oh? Is that so? Does your World Government have extra manpower to help you?" Reina asked with a strange expression.

Upon hearing Reiner's words, Lucci's expression changed, and he asked, "I knew your Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't be so quiet!"

“Of course!” Reina raised an eyebrow and chuckled, “Besides, once you abolished the Seven Warlords of the Sea and those guys are back to being pirates, the Navy will be busy, right?”

Lucci remained silent. He had no intention of interjecting regarding the abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but in terms of timing, it certainly wasn't a good time.

"Based on what you just said, I originally didn't want you to leave alive! However... there are some things that require the help of your World Government, so if you know what's good for you... get lost now, and I can pretend I didn't see you!" Reina said softly, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

Moreover, as soon as he finished speaking, all the men on Reina's side who wanted to preserve their fighting strength stood up and surrounded Lucci and his men.

At this moment, all of Lucci's subordinates immediately tensed up.

"So that means... you're planning to become enemies with the World Government? People of Wano Country... are you really ready? Ready to become enemies with the World Government!" Lucci said with a slight smile.

"Bullshit! This is Wano Country, our country. We're the ones who call the shots here. Who do you think you are?" Hyogoro, the leader, immediately stepped forward and said.

Wano Country has long practiced a policy of isolation, so they have little knowledge of the World Government.

However, Raizo, who had been to sea before, was different. Upon hearing Lucci's words, his expression changed.

The reason they started this war, besides defeating Kaido and reclaiming Wano Country, was precisely to open Wano Country to the world. But if they offend the World Government, how will Wano Country open to the world?

"Can you represent the World Government?" So, before everyone could make a move, Raizo stepped forward and asked Lucci.

"Heh... Ignorant fools! If I report Wano Country's current actions to the World Government's top brass, what do you think the World Government will do? As for my identity... I am the head of CP0, directly responsible to the Celestial Dragons! If you don't believe me, you can ask him!" Lucci pointed at Reina and said with a light laugh.

Although he didn't want to act under someone else's coattails, sometimes the coattails really are the best way to deal with enemies.

Hearing Lucci's words, Reina couldn't help but laugh and said, "He's right. The World Government is arguably the largest power in the world. If it really decides to deal with someone, no one should be able to escape!"

Upon hearing Reina's words, all the samurai of Wano Country changed their expressions.

“Take your Wano Country for example. If Wano Country were a world, your official power would be the World Government, the daimyo of each village would be the member states, and the bandits and robbers who occupy a place would be like pirates. Wano Country is like this Onigashima Island, which has always been independent of Wano Country. Now, the official power of Wano Country wants to subdue Onigashima Island!” Reina thought for a moment and then gave a simple analogy.

"So... do you mean... we have no other choice but to submit?" Many Wano Country samurai, upon hearing Reina's words, involuntarily lowered their weapons.

"Then what's the point of us risking our lives to defeat Kaido?" The samurai's morale plummeted.

"That's not how it is... everyone!" Nami glared at Reina and quickly explained, "Although the World Government is indeed very powerful, they can't just attack any country. Otherwise, wouldn't the world be in chaos? So as long as you unite, you can resist Wano Country!"

The other pirates also looked at Reina with strange expressions. According to him, they didn't need to fight against the World Government and the Navy's encirclement and suppression; they could just surrender.

“Hahaha…” Upon hearing Reina’s explanation, Lucci burst into laughter. He felt that Reina saw things more clearly than he did. The World Government… was just such an existence!

Chapter 614 Victory and Defeat

Seeing the Wano Country samurai's morale plummet because of his words, Reina chuckled and asked, "Gentlemen, do you know who I am?"

Everyone looked at Reina in confusion.

"I'm a pirate!" Reina grinned, pointing at himself and saying with a smile, "A pirate who opposes the World Government, an existence that disrupts world order in the eyes of the Navy!"

After Reina finished speaking, everyone felt somewhat confused and even more bewildered.

“But… I’m standing here now, so what does that mean? Don’t you all know?” Reina said softly, looking at the puzzled crowd.

Robbie was the first to laugh when he heard Reina's words, and many others followed suit, but most people still didn't understand.

"The World Government is indeed terrifying... but it's not so terrifying that it makes us lose our will to fight back!" Goro, the leader of the Hen no Hana, stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Isn't Kaido terrifying? But we still defeated him, didn't we?"

"Hahaha...no, no, no...you're wrong. Kaido is indeed terrifying, but the World Government is even more terrifying! But think about it, why is Kaido alright? Why am I alright? Because the World Government...cannot control people's yearning for freedom!" Reina laughed loudly upon hearing Hyogoro's words.

"Why did Oden want Wano Country to open its borders? Because only in this way can Wano Country gain freedom! But how is the World Government's approach any different from Kaido's? Since you rebelled against Kaido for freedom... then do you dare to rebel against the World Government, the devil?"

It was only then that the samurai of Wano Country realized that, compared to their closed-off Wano Country, the World Government's enemy was not the pirates.

But Reina, a pirate, is still alive and kicking here. So, can the mighty Wano Country be inferior to a pirate?

“That’s right… Lord Oden’s will is our will… Wano Country will soon be free, and no one can bind us!” Kawamatsu slowly drew his weapon and aimed it at Lucci.

With Kawamatsu setting an example, the samurai of Wano Country drew their weapons. They were samurai, and they would not allow their lord to be disgraced.

“As expected of a samurai from Wano Country! I once heard the saying, ‘Life is only once, but freedom is more precious than life’... Do you know who said that?” Reina smiled slightly and said loudly.

Everyone looked at Reina, waiting for him to reveal the answer.

“Gol D. Roger, the Pirate!” Reina smiled slightly and said, “But now everyone calls him… the Pirate King!”

"It's actually the Pirate King Roger..." Reina's words shocked everyone.

Everyone, including Lucci, believed Reina's words, because he was also a pirate from the same era as Roger.

"Then Lucci... you might still have time to leave now, otherwise you might die in Wano Country before I even have a chance to make a move!" Reina pointed to the samurai around him and said softly.

"As expected of Akame Reyna! But Wano Country, our World Government will not give up!" Lucci glanced at Kaido, who was fighting over there, and said in a deep voice.

"Still not giving up? Wait for the battle to end! Fine... I'll give you that chance... Everyone... After Luffy defeats Kaido, let's drive these lackeys away! Let him know that Wano Country is not to be trifled with!" Reina said with a slight smile.

"Oh~~" Most of the Wano Country samurai agreed with Reina's suggestion.

However, Hana no Hyōgor, Kawamatsu, Chopper, and others did not agree.

They knew that Reina was basically incapacitated at this point, and if the other side really made a move, they would have to pay a heavy price to drive Lucci away.

"Hehehe... As expected of Mr. Reina..." At this moment, Jinbe came to Reina's side and whispered.

"Get lost! You think Lucci didn't see it? He knows my current situation, but he also knows that even now... I can kill him!" Reina retorted, scoffing.

Jinbe was taken aback and looked at Reina in surprise.

“Hehe...look around for yourself!” Reina said with a light laugh.

Jinbe then realized that, without him noticing, all the strong individuals who could still move, including himself, had gathered around Reyner. Although most of them were injured, no one dared to underestimate their power.

"Ahhh~~ Die, you brat!"

"Ugh...get out of Wano Country!"

Meanwhile, the battle between Luffy and Kaido has finally come to an end.

The two used their last ounce of strength to unleash their final move.

"Luffy!" Ace, who had fallen to the ground, looked at Luffy in the air with a complicated expression.

Judging from Luffy's current strength, he has indeed surpassed his older brother. Ace felt both gratified and emotional.

"Finally...it's going to end!"

Everyone watched as the two collided in mid-air.

"Bang!" Kaido's spiked club struck Luffy first. Just when everyone thought Luffy was going to be finished, Luffy stared straight at Kaido's spiked club and struck Kaido with his own attack.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

The attack, like a storm, struck Kaido, forcing him to retreat repeatedly. Finally, a blow landed on Kaido's face, sending him flying.

Even though Kaido was knocked away, no one cheered. They knew how powerful Kaido was. That man was like an unkillable god. No matter how powerful the attack was, it seemed unable to harm him.

But after a while, when Kaido stopped standing up, everyone cheered like crazy. Many samurai from Wano Country even dared to run to Kaido's side. When they saw that Kaido had really fainted, they cried with excitement.

"Finally...finally...we've defeated Kaido!" The entire Onigashima Island was filled with joy. Although it had become a ruin, everyone couldn't help but feel happy.

"Oh right, Luffy Taro!" Only then did everyone remember that Luffy was the great hero who defeated Kaido.

But it was only then that everyone realized that Luffy, after defeating Kaido, was also exhausted and collapsed on the ground.

Unlike everyone else who was celebrating, Reina came to Lucci's side as Kaido fell.

"Well? I told you... Wano Country... doesn't belong to you!" Reina said to Lucci with a light laugh.

“Don’t underestimate the World Government!” Lucci replied calmly.

“No…you underestimated him!” Reina replied with a slight smile.

"So, your Whitebeard Pirates... have also staked their future on him?" Lucci was taken aback, then asked in disbelief.

Reina smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he said softly, "Now you should get lost!"

Without saying a word, Lucci left with his men.

Chapter 615 The Situation is Set

With Kaido's defeat and Lucci's departure, the war in Wano Country came to a complete end.
