Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

The victorious samurai of Wano Country celebrated wildly on the ruins of Onigashima.

"Hehehe... Isn't my little brother amazing!" Ace, his entire body wrapped in bandages, asked Marco beside him with a grin.

"Yes, yes, yes... I know, your brother is the best, you've said that so many times!" Marco rolled his eyes and replied.

“Ace…” At this moment, Yamato also came over with Usopp with a smile on his face. They stopped Kanjuro at the last moment and prevented Onigashima from exploding.

"Yamato!" Ace smiled when he saw Yamato and said, "Congratulations, you are now free!"

“Yes! I’m finally free!” Yamato nodded and replied.

"So? Want to go to sea? If you're willing to come, I can introduce you to Dad!" Ace asked with a smile.

"The Whitebeard Pirates? Oden sailed out to sea on the Whitebeard Pirates' ship, didn't he? But... I don't want to go there!" Yamato said with a smile.

"Really? So you plan to go to sea by yourself?" Ace asked with a smile, seemingly unsurprised.

"Yes! I want to go out and see the vast ocean!" Yamato nodded and said earnestly.

"Hahaha... The ocean is huge!" Ace said with a loud laugh.

"What's making you so happy?" Reina asked as he slowly walked over with Robin.

"Ah~ Yamato said he wants to go to sea!" Ace said with a smile.

"Oh? Going out to sea? But... you probably can't go out to sea on your own, right?" Reina looked at Yamato and asked.

"Huh? Can't you go to sea by yourself?" Yamato was taken aback, then suddenly realized and said, "That's right. Back then, Oden also wanted to go to sea by himself, but he failed many times. In the end, he boarded your Whitebeard Pirates' ship and finally succeeded in going to sea!"

“Ah~ It’s not impossible for you to go to sea alone! But if you do that, you’ll need to learn a lot, and you’ll also need a ship that you can control yourself! These are all very difficult!” Reina stroked his chin and said, “So I suggest you join a pirate crew first, and once you’re familiar with the sea and know how to sail on it, then you can decide whether you want to go alone!”

"Eh~ Is that so?" Yamato felt a bit troubled, realizing he had underestimated the difficulty of setting sail.

"Of course, if you don't want to join someone else's pirate crew, you can find some like-minded partners and form your own pirate crew together! Also... Wano Country is now fully liberated and will soon open its borders! So there will definitely be a lot of contact with the outside world in the future. Actually, I suggest we learn from the Flower Country, they used official power to form a pirate crew!" Fang Yi said with a smile.

"Mr. Reina... could you tell me more?" Hyogoro had arrived at some point and asked curiously after hearing Fang Yi's words.

“It’s actually very simple. Your Wano Country can establish its own pirate crew, and Yamato is quite strong and on your side, so he can definitely be the captain! Just like in the Flower Capital, you have gangs, right? But the so-called gangs aren’t the ones that do bad things; they’re part of the power of Wano Country! I don’t know if you understand my explanation?” Reina explained after thinking for a moment.

"This..." Both Hyogoro and Yamato hesitated for a moment upon hearing Reina's words.

To be honest, although the war was won, Wano Country is in dire need of rebuilding, and there are too many things that need to be done domestically.

Furthermore, according to Oden's last wish, Wano Country will definitely be opened to the world. So what will happen after it is opened? After connecting with the world, what will become of Wano Country?

They have no idea about these things, so they can't make a decision right now.

"Of course, these are all your business. How you decide is up to you!" Reina naturally saw through their thoughts and said with a smile.

"So what do we do next?" Marco asked Reina.

“Robin has awakened her Sharingan, so I need to stay here for a while to teach her how to use it correctly. As for you and Ace, you can go back to Xuan Yue Island first, or you can stay and come back with me later,” Reina said with a smile.

"Oh?" Ace and Marco both looked at Robin in surprise, knowing that the Sharingan's abilities were quite powerful.

“Moreover, Robin not only awakened the Sharingan, but also her chakra. Her talent is stronger than mine!” Reina said with a wry smile.

"Huh?" Marco and Ace were even more surprised. They knew that Reina's Sharingan was already incredibly powerful. If Robin's was even more powerful, wouldn't that mean that Robin already possessed the qualities to become a top-tier powerhouse?

So the way the two of them looked at Robin changed instantly.

If Robin were to join the Whitebeard Pirates and be personally trained by Reina, wouldn't the Whitebeard Pirates become even stronger in the future?

Seeing the looks Ace and Marco were giving him, Reina shrugged and said with a wry smile, "She's the Straw Hat Pirates' historian!"

Reina's words were tantamount to telling them that Robin already had her own pirate crew and would not be returning to the Whitebeard Pirates.

Marco is Nami's brother-in-law, and Ace is Luffy's brother, so naturally they wouldn't actually try to poach members from the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Hahaha... They're really amazing! It seems that it's not impossible for the Straw Hat Pirates to replace us as the world's number one pirate crew in the future!" Ace said with a loud laugh.

"Heh... Even if they wanted to replace us, it wouldn't be now! They're still a long way off!" Reina's lips curled slightly as he said, "I know they have the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, and now with the addition of Wano Country's power, their strength has increased considerably! But compared to our Whitebeard Pirates, there's still a gap!"

"Hehehe... Uncle Reina, you shouldn't say that! Now only you and the Red-Haired Pirates are left of the Four Emperors! I believe Luffy can definitely defeat you and become the Pirate King!" Nami walked over at some point and said with a smile.

"Hahaha... Alright, we'll be waiting for you on Xuan Yue Island! But you won't be able to snatch the Path Poneglyph from us unless you show some strength!" Reina laughed and said, "I won't hold back!"

"Um...we're not really going to go to war, are we? How about...we each send a representative to fight?" Nami said with a smile, her eyes darting around.

"Oh? Send representatives? How many do you plan to send? Three? Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji? Aren't you going to send Jinbe? He's a former Shichibukai, after all!" Reina asked Nami with a strange laugh.

"Hehe...hehe...this...we'll discuss it later, we'll discuss it later!" Nami said somewhat shyly.

Chapter 616 Post-War

After the battle in Wano Country, Reina stayed there for three days, partly to recover from his injuries and partly to teach Robin how to properly use the Sharingan.

Three days later, at the port of Kuri in Wano Country, the Straw Hat crew, Momonosuke, Kin'emon, and others saw Reina and the others off.

"Our Wano Country was able to achieve freedom this time thanks to your help!" Kin'emon expressed his gratitude to Reina and the other two on behalf of Momonosuke.

Although Momonosuke has become an adult due to the power of the Ripening Fruit, his mind is still like a child's, so Kin'emon and others help him with many things.

"Alright! Wano Country will be busy from now on, especially after you open your country to the world, there will be a lot of things to do! If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to contact us anytime, after all, the kindness of Oden from back then still exists!" Reina said with a light laugh.

"Thank you again!" Kin'emon and the others bowed in response.

"Ah~ I was born on the Moby Dick!" Momonosuke said with a light laugh. "It's been so many years since I've seen you, Uncle Reina. Once things stabilize in Wano Country, I will definitely go to Gengetsu Island to pay my respects to you!"

"You're quite thoughtful, kid!" Reina said with a smile. "If our big brother is in a good mood, he might allow you to hang the Whitebeard Pirates' flag here! That would save you a lot of trouble!"

"Huh? Really?" Momonosuke asked in surprise.

"Hahaha..." Reina laughed loudly and said, "That depends on your own ability!"

"Hmph, what's so great about it! Momo, you can borrow our flag too!" Luffy said nonchalantly from the side.

"Hahaha... Luffy, you guys don't have that kind of intimidation power yet! The reputation of our Whitebeard Pirates... is something we've built up bit by bit over the years!" Reina said with a big laugh.

"That's right, Luffy, if you want to surpass us... you'd better work hard!" Ace looked at his younger brother with a smile.

"Just you wait! I'll defeat you!" Luffy said confidently.

"Now that you've defeated Big Mom and the Beasts Pirates... you are indeed qualified to challenge us! I'll be waiting for you on Crescent Moon Island! Robin... protect yourself, now you are the only one in this world who can pass on the power of the Sharingan!" Reina said with a slight smile.

“Father…” Robin was somewhat moved. During this time, with Reina’s guidance, she had fully understood what kind of ability the Sharingan was.

In this world, only she and Reina currently possess the Sharingan.

Moreover, given Reina's situation, it's clear he won't continue to pass on the Sharingan, so the responsibility of passing it on falls on her shoulders.

"Alright, don't put too much pressure on yourself, it's okay! Even if it's not passed down, it's alright! That's just how this world is... Whether it's a new ability or a new era, it's all accomplished by people!" Reina patted Robin on the shoulder and said with a smile, "But if you come to Xuan Yue Island then, I won't hold back. If your Sharingan hasn't improved... you might suffer a terrible defeat!"

"Hmph! Robin will never lose!" Luffy immediately retorted.

"Alright, I won't say any more. Kaido's Beasts Pirates and Big Mom's crew have been defeated. Such a huge event will definitely affect the entire world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall situation, overall balance, and overall balance). I must return to Crescent Moon Island! Luffy... don't keep me waiting too long!" Reina smiled, then handed Luffy his Vivre Card, saying, "Use this... to find us!"

Although Robin has Reina's Vivre Card, Luffy has Ace's Vivre Card, and even Nami has Marco's, what Reina personally gave Luffy was a Challenge Ticket, which was also an entry ticket to face the Whitebeard Pirates.

"I understand! When I'm ready, I'll challenge you!" Luffy nodded solemnly and said.

"Hahaha... This is truly something to look forward to! Don't forget, the Whitebeard Pirates... are a massive force with nearly fifty pirate crews... If it were just you guys... I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to get to Xuan Yue Island!" Reina said with a light laugh.

Luffy adjusted his straw hat and replied, "Don't underestimate us!"

"Let's go! Let's go back!" Reina chuckled and said to Marco and Ace.

Seeing this, Marco handed a small bundle to Nami and said, "Is there anything you need me to tell Nojiko?"

"No need. Saying too much will only make her worry. I'm a pirate now, I can take care of myself!" Nami shook her head and replied, "What is this?"

“I had Reina make this for me! Inside is a combat suit with excellent defensive capabilities, and also an identification tag that represents me. Take it. If you encounter danger, just take out the tag… and the other party can give it to me. I will do something within my power to repay their kindness in letting you go!” Marco said earnestly.

"Huh?" Nami was taken aback, looking at the tag in the bundle, and said in surprise, "This kind of tag..."

“You saw it with Robin, right? Hers is a badge that represents the entire Whitebeard Pirates. It was given to her personally by the old man! When Reina brought her back to the Moby Dick, the old man had already adopted her as his goddaughter, so she is also the young lady of our Whitebeard Pirates!” Marco said with a light laugh. “Although my badge can also represent the Whitebeard Pirates, I won’t gamble with the entire pirate crew. I can only bet my life!”

"Thank you!" Even so, Nami still knew the importance of the sign and thanked Marco very sincerely.

Marco waved his hand and said, "Your sister is different now that she's come to the New World. She knows how dangerous the New World is! That's why she specifically asked me to have Reiner make this kind of sign! With this, all the pirate crews under Whitebeard will help you!"

Nami didn't say anything, but solemnly put away Marco's nameplate. If she didn't take it, Marco and Nojiko would be even more worried about her, so she didn't refuse and accepted it directly.

However, she had already decided in her heart when she accepted the nameplate that she would never use such a thing.

Robin, seeing Nami's expression, knew what her companion was thinking. She had thought the same thing back then, but she had almost used Reina's nameplate on Enies Lobby.

Chapter 617 Rescuing Kuja

After leaving Wano Country, Reina and his two companions headed straight for Crescent Moon Island.

When they came out, Reina had told Whitebeard that Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were destined to be defeated in the Wano Country war, so they could take advantage of Charlotte Linlin's trip to Wano Country to launch a surprise attack on Whole Cake Island.

In Reina's view, it would be a very easy task for the Whitebeard Pirates, led by Whitebeard, to conquer Whole Cake Island, which had lost Charlotte Linlin, without even Whitebeard having to lift a finger.

However, Whitebeard refused. He didn't want to be the King of the World; he just wanted to protect his family in the Whitebeard Pirates.

That's why Reina and the others, after finishing the battle in Wano Country, chose to return to Gengetsu Island as soon as possible.

The future world order will face a major change, and whether this change will be good or bad is unclear to everyone. So all Reina can do is help Whitebeard defend their territory.

After all, according to the script, they are just experience stones on the protagonist's path forward.

However, Reina had already made plans. He was unwilling to become Luffy's experience, so while maintaining a good relationship with the Straw Hat Pirates, he also placed the Whitebeard Pirates in front of Luffy, not turning himself into his enemy, but into an insurmountable mountain that he had to climb.

In this way, they are in an invincible position. No matter what storm the main characters may stir up in the end, the Whitebeard Pirates will remain unmoved.

Shanks, the Red-Haired, seems to do the same thing.

However, Shanks did this simply because he believed that Luffy was the one who inherited Roger's will.

When the news of Kaido's defeat in Wano Country and Charlotte Linlin's retreat to Whole Cake Island spread, the entire sea was shaken.

The Navy, the Revolutionary Army, and the pirates were all shocked by this sudden news.

However, at this time, the Navy was short-handed due to the abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and even if they knew about what was happening in Wano Country, they were powerless to make any changes.

Although the Seven Warlords of the Sea were allies when they were allies, they became incredibly difficult to deal with once they returned to being pirates.

This made Marshal Sakazuki somewhat suspicious that these guys had planned this all along, to gang up on him.

However, the Navy's attack on the Seven Warlords of the Sea resulted in losses not only for the Navy but also significantly increased the pressure on the Seven Warlords themselves.

People like Hawkeye, who are all alone, are fine. If he can fight, he can fight; if he doesn't want to fight, he can just leave.
