Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Admiral Borsalino, what do we do now?" Although Vice Admiral Momonga is the fleet commander, it's clear that the situation is now beyond his control, which is why he's asking Kizaru.

"Wait a bit longer. The fleet is estimated to arrive in another hour. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to hold them off, so I came ahead of you!" Kizaru said without turning his head.

“An hour… that shouldn’t be a problem. The other side only has the Moby Dick coming, so they must have left the rest of their pirate ships behind!” Vice Admiral Momonga nodded and said.

He felt a little more at ease now, at least Sakazuki really didn't treat them as expendable pawns, and he also had a plan to deal with Whitebeard.

At the same time, the morale of the Navy, which had been severely damaged by the appearance of Whitebeard and the Moby Dick, was greatly boosted by the appearance of Kizaru.

"It seems your worries were unnecessary. Headquarters couldn't possibly abandon us all!" Helmeppo said with a smile to Coby beside him after seeing Kizaru appear.

"That's for the best!" Koby breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said.

In fact, they did not know that Sakazuki's plan, while not completely abandoning them, also did not intend to come to their aid early the next morning. He planned to have his ambush troops emerge after their remnants had fought Whitebeard.

Whitebeard's sudden appearance disrupted Sakazuki's plans, causing the ambush to be launched ahead of schedule.

However, neither Kizaru nor Sakazuki expected that Reina was already waiting for them halfway. The rest of the Whitebeard Pirates' ships were not shaken off by the Moby Dick, but instead changed course to rejoin Reina.

"First mate, what should we do now?" Whiteybe, the Ice Witch, asked Reina with a smile.

"Hehe... wait a minute. The reason we let Kizaru pass was because our target wasn't Kizaru! Although he's strong, letting him pass allowed us to ambush the warships behind us. They wanted to surround and attack reinforcements, right? We'll give them a taste of their own medicine!" Reina replied with a slight smirk.

"Will there be any problems with Dad and Sachi?" another captain asked.

Because Reina came and took Sachi's captain away, he was worried that their strength was insufficient.

"Don't worry! With Dad and the other captains here, there won't be any problems. Besides, Captain Ace has already gone over, hasn't he?" Laco, who came with Reina, said with a light laugh.

"Alright, everyone, get ready! The navy fleet will be here in half an hour at most!" Reina replied with a slight smile.

The camera returns to the Moby Dick.

Because of Kizaru's appearance, the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates entered a stalemate. Knowing Reina's plan, the Whitebeard Pirates were not in a hurry, while the Navy was waiting for reinforcements and did not rush to take action.

"It seems they are indeed waiting for their pirate crew!" Vice Admiral Momonga said softly, seeing that Whitebeard had not made a move.

Logically speaking, now that the Moby Dick has arrived, the Whitebeard Pirates should have started their breakout, but they haven't made a move yet, clearly waiting for their subordinate pirate crews.

"We can't wait any longer... Vice Admiral Momonga, give the order! All troops, attack!" Kizaru squinted for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"Why is that?" Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel asked, puzzled.

Kizaru himself just said that reinforcements would arrive no later than an hour, so why are they attacking ahead of schedule?

Even if the pirates under the Whitebeard Pirates arrive, the Navy has been planning for so long that it will definitely have the advantage in terms of manpower, while the Whitebeard Pirates are only hastily preparing for battle and are definitely no match for them. Therefore, he does not understand why Kizaru has ordered an attack now.

“Look!” Kizaru pointed at the Moby Dick and said, “Logically speaking, they should be the ones in a greater hurry right now! Whitebeard has arrived, so what they need to do now is break out before our reinforcements arrive! But they have seen me coming, so they must know that our Navy has a backup plan! But they are still unmoved. Can you guess why?”

"This..." Lieutenant General Momonga was stunned for a moment, then said incredulously, "They're waiting too! Waiting for our reinforcements... to run into trouble!"

“That’s right! So we can’t wait any longer, let’s start the war!” Kizaru said, squinting his eyes.

"Good!" Lieutenant General Squirrel nodded, then said to his adjutant, "Order the entire army to attack!"

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant nodded quickly and turned to leave.

Moments later, all the naval warships began to tighten the encirclement and advance toward the Moby Dick.

"Gurararara... It seems there are still some clever people in the Navy! But... you guys... are not enough!" Whitebeard laughed as he saw the Navy attack.

"Whitebeard... don't think you can really win! I'm not the only one here this time!" Kizaru replied from the bow of the ship.

"Oh? Interesting!" Whitebeard smiled slightly and said, "Then you should also know... that our Whitebeard Pirates has a vice-captain, right?"

Kizaru's expression changed; he knew who Whitebeard was referring to.

However, Reina went to Wano Country before, and should have returned directly to Gengetsu Island by now. Even if he received the news, he definitely wouldn't be able to get here in time.

But at that moment, he saw Fire Fist Ace standing behind Whitebeard, and his heart sank.

Since Fire Fist Ace and Phoenix Marco appeared in Wano Country with Reina, the fact that Fire Fist Ace is here means that Reina and Marco have also come.

Chapter 637 Before the Battle

When Kizaru saw Ace, his expression changed, because Ace's presence meant that Reina should have arrived as well, but Reina was nowhere to be seen.

This is unusual for someone who is the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Logically speaking, if Reyna were here, then the only one standing next to Whitebeard would be him.

So now it's clear that Reina has arrived, but he's not here.

Where could the other party be? Kizaru fell into deep thought.

Soon, an idea popped into his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed to be true.

"This is... troublesome!" Kizaru sighed and said.

"What's wrong, Admiral Kizaru!" Vice Admiral Momonga, unaware of the seriousness of the situation, turned to Kizaru and asked.

“Reina isn’t here!” Kizaru said softly.

Vice Admiral Momonga was taken aback. Reina wasn't here? What did that mean? According to the Navy's intelligence, hadn't Reina just recently departed from Wano Country? Shouldn't he have returned to Crescent Moon Island? It's quite normal that he's not here now.

However, just as Vice Admiral Momonga was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of Ace standing next to Whitebeard, and then froze.

Because he remembered that the intelligence report said that in Wano Country, besides Reina, Marco and Portgas D. Ace were also present. Now that Portgas D. Ace was here, it meant that Reina and Marco were likely nearby as well, but they hadn't shown up yet.

"Gulp..." Vice Admiral Momonga unconsciously swallowed and said, "Admiral Kizaru... do you mean... Reina might be lying in ambush nearby?"

Kizaru shook his head and said, "No! I suspect he might be planning the same thing as us! He led his men to ambush our reinforcements!"

"Huh?" Lieutenant General Momonga was taken aback, then subconsciously asked, "Our reinforcements?"

"Ah!" Kizaru nodded and said, "Our original plan was to surround the pirates led by Thatch, lure Whitebeard into the trap, and then wipe them all out! Now it seems... the other side is playing along, deliberately showing themselves to lure our reinforcements, and then ambushing us halfway!"

"Then what should we do?" Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel asked, his expression changing.

If Kizaru were there, he might have been able to hold off Reina's attack, but now that Kizaru has come to their rescue first, Reina will definitely defeat the reinforcements there.

If the reinforcements are defeated and they lose their own reinforcements, the Whitebeard Pirates will inevitably escape, and it's even possible that they could turn the tables and defeat the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Although the situation is indeed a bit bad, ... with Green Bull over there, they shouldn't be completely routed!" Kizaru shook his head and said, "It's just that it's probably impossible for us to wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Upon hearing Kizaru's words, Vice Admiral Momonga breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since Green Bull is here, that's good!"

Kizaru sighed, but didn't say much. He turned to Momonga and said, "The matter is settled now. There's no point in thinking about it anymore. Let's attack!"

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel nodded and replied, "Understood!"

"Gurararara... It seems they've figured it out! But it's alright! Ace... Have Thatch and the others prepare... I'll give the Marines a little something to say!" Whitebeard saw Kizaru's expression and knew that the other party was fully aware of their plans.

But that doesn't matter, because they were using an open strategy anyway.

Just as Whitebeard and the Navy were about to clash head-on, Reyner's side had already engaged the Navy in battle.

Because it was a surprise attack, and with Reina and five captains leading the charge, the first wave of the attack caught the navy off guard. At least three warships sank directly, and many naval soldiers were floating on the sea, waiting for rescue.

However, the navy's warships don't have time to rescue them now, because Reina and his men's attack hasn't stopped.

"Admiral Green Bull! What do we do now? The enemy is the Whitebeard Pirates, and the leader is the vice-captain Reina!" a naval officer reported to a man with long green hair.

"Ah~ It's the Whitebeard Pirates. Why aren't they rescuing their besieged men? What are they doing here?" Green Bull said lazily.

"Sir..." The sergeant was speechless. It was obvious that the other party had a purpose in coming here.

"Alright, alright, don't rush. Have you contacted Kizaru-senpai yet? Ask him how things are going over there!" Green Bull waved his hand and said with a smile.

"We've already tried to contact them, but we couldn't get through. I guess they've blocked our signal!" the sergeant replied seriously.

"They're even blocking signals? It's so obvious, I bet Kizaru-senpai already figured it out, right? Forget it, let's deal with them first!" Green Bull said, heading straight for the deck. He wanted to see just how powerful the Whitebeard Pirates really were.

"Reina, the first round of attack has been successful. What's next? A full-scale attack?" On the other side, Laco, standing on the small whale ship, asked Reina beside him.

"Next? Now it's up to you to take charge! I'm going to go have some fun over there!" Reina said with a smile, pointing to the Green Bull that had just come onto the deck.

"That's... a Navy Admiral?" Laco asked in surprise, taken aback.

They had watched Kizaru leave, and they never expected that there would be a Marine Admiral here.

Although he didn't recognize the other person's appearance, he did recognize the general's distinctive attire.

“He must be one of the two admirals recruited by the Navy’s World Draft. Fujitora is blind, so this must be Green Bull!” Reina said with a light laugh.

"I really didn't expect the Navy to send two admirals!" Laco said solemnly.

"Isn't this normal? They would dare send only one admiral to fight our Whitebeard Pirates? That would be suicide!" Reina replied with a smile.

Although the Navy initiated the battle and outmaneuvered them, the Whitebeard Pirates' strength was undeniable; one admiral was certainly not enough.

If they hadn't outmaneuvered Sachi, they might have had to deploy three of their top generals.

"Then be careful!" Laco knew that if the admiral was allowed to do his job, it would cause them great losses. So, having Reina go and restrain the admiral was the best option.

Without a word, Reina jumped off the boat. Liuliu, who had been waiting for him, surfaced and allowed Reina to stand on his enormous crocodile head.

"Tsk tsk tsk... They've got their eyes on me! Looks like I'm in for some fun today!" Green Bull grinned as he saw Reina heading straight for him.

Chapter 638 The fierce battle begins

"Boom boom boom..."

A naval warship was destroyed in the battle between Reyna and Green Bull and began to slowly sink to the bottom of the sea.

Because of the presence of Liuliu, and because Reina did not eat a Devil Fruit, he has a slight advantage in fighting on the sea.

However, there are quite a few naval warships here, so relying on this to defeat Green Bull is not very realistic.

However, continuing this fight would be even more disadvantageous for the Navy. Reina had entangled Green Bull and inflicted some damage on the Navy in the battle, which created better conditions for the Whitebeard Pirates.

"As expected of the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Akame Reina, you truly live up to your name!" Green Bull stood on the mast of a warship, looking at Reina perched on Liu Liu's head, and laughed as he spoke.

"Hehe... this is nothing! But if this is all the strength you have... you're not quite worthy of the title of general! Show us your true abilities!" Reina replied with a slight smile.

Although the fight between the two looked quite intense, both Reina and Green Bull knew that the other had not yet used his full strength.

“That’s true, if this continues, things will get really bad! That Sakazuki guy is quite long-winded! So… I’ll just have to be a little more serious!” Green Bull smiled slightly, and then his entire body vanished from the spot.

"Sharingan...activate!" Reina's eyes instantly transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan, instantly catching sight of Green Bull. He leaped into the air, laughing as he said, "No matter how fast you are, it's useless against my eyes!"

"Bang!" Reina, who had been leaping into the air, suddenly kicked out, and Green Bull appeared right in front of him, making it look as if he had run into it himself.

"What a troublesome ability!" Green Bull, who had been kicked away by Reina and landed directly on the warship, dusted off his chest and looked up to say.
