Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Looks like this is a big fish!" Reina's eyes were practically closed with laughter as he watched the crew pulling merchants out of the hold.

“I just asked. They’re a group of merchants who help the Celestial Dragons capture slaves and then sell them to them!” Vista walked over with a serious expression and said.

"Celestial Dragons? Slave traders? That's really... interesting!" Reina slowly walked towards the group of merchants, staring at them with ill intent.

"Gurararara... Let me see what the Celestial Dragons' lackeys look like!" Whitebeard Newgate slowly walked over with his naginata in hand. Although he was smiling, Reina could hear the coldness in his voice.

He just single-handedly destroyed a warship, not like Reina and Marco who defeated the navy on board, but he also destroyed the navy on board and the entire warship.

"Don't...don't kill me...I...I have money, lots of money. Just let me go, and I can give you a lot of money!" A wealthy businessman knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

“Yes, yes, yes…we are all rich, very rich, and you can’t kill us, we are Lord Gavial Freitas’s men!” another merchant chimed in.

“Gavial Freitas? That name… I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before!” Reina paused, thought carefully, but couldn’t quite place it.

“Idiot Reina, didn’t the pirates who kidnapped me say the same thing?” Olga, who was following behind Newgate, stepped forward and said.

“Oh, right, right! Gavial Freitas, who is he? This guy… seems to be involved in human trafficking?” Reina immediately remembered when he heard Olga’s words.

“Gavial Freitas? Even if he were here, let alone you being his men, I would still cut off his head with one stroke! Hmph!” Whitebeard sneered and said in a deep voice.

"Brother, do you know this guy named Gavial Freitas?" Reina asked curiously.

“Do you remember the Devil’s Island we visited back then? Gavial Freitas was one of the three main figures on Devil’s Island, responsible for selling intelligence to the outside world! I never imagined that he was also secretly trafficking people and cooperating with the Celestial Dragons!” Whitebeard said directly.

"Ah~ So it was him! I knew I'd heard that name somewhere before. Wasn't that the tavern on Devil's Island owned by him? It's not surprising that they have connections with the Celestial Dragons, otherwise Captain Rocks wouldn't have gotten information about them from them!" After remembering who it was, Reina wasn't surprised anymore.

Chapter 60 A New Goal: The Treasure Map

"Do you even know who you're escorting?" Reina asked with a light laugh, looking at Jermie who had his head down.

The self-proclaimed righteous navy is escorting a group of real demons; it's hard to say whether these navy personnel still have any sense of justice.

Reina, who had completely lost any goodwill towards Jeremy for protecting his subordinates, turned to Whitebeard and said, "Big brother, how about I handle this?"

Whitebeard nodded and led his men back to the pirate ship.

"Separate them. The navy will leave them a warship, but remove the rudder! Also, leave them only three days' worth of food! As for whether they survive, that's up to fate!"

"Those merchants... took everything off their ship, including their own belongings, anything of value! And then left them on this ship!" Reina said to the ordinary crew members around him after thinking for a moment.

Once everything was arranged, Reina returned to the pirate ship.

“Sink that ship to the bottom of the sea and let the ocean wash away their sins!” Reina said coldly, pointing to the luxurious ship where the merchants were.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Boom boom boom..."

With a barrage of cannon fire, the luxurious ship was engulfed in flames before the entire navy and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

After getting away from the area, Reina used a Den Den Mushi to have Dr. Asie land the Sky Island and bring the robbed naval warship, loaded with cannons and shells, directly to the bay of the Sky Island.

"I'm leaving things here in your care, Doctor!" After handing the matter over to Dr. Assie, Reina returned to the pirate ship.

The treasures will be exchanged for Berries or materials to build the Sky Island after they encounter the island. As for the cannons, they will ask Dr. Assie to install them on the Sky Island so that it will have a certain offensive capability.

"Big Brother!" After finishing everything, Reina, carrying a bottle of white wine, found the white-bearded man.

"What's wrong? Still upset about what happened during the day?" Newgate asked with a smile when he saw Reina's expression.

“No… there’s nothing to worry about, and it’s not something I can control! All I have to do is take care of myself… and my friends and family!” Reina said with a grin.

"Gurararara... It's good that you think that way. The Navy... doesn't represent absolute justice, but there are some truly righteous guys among them! As for us pirates... we just need to be free!" Whitebeard patted Reiner on the shoulder and said with a big laugh.

"Brother, be gentle! You're going to break my shoulder!" Reina said with a wry smile as he handed the white-bearded man the liquor.

"Gurgle gurgle... Tell me! What do you want from me?" Whitebeard glanced at Reina and asked.

"Why do you ask that, brother? Can't I just come to have a heart-to-heart talk about what happened during the day?" Reina asked with a surprised look.

"If it were really because of what happened during the day, you wouldn't have given me this wine!" The white-bearded man pointed to the bottle of white wine in his hand and said with a smug look on his face.

"Hahaha... As expected of Big Brother! You hit the nail on the head! That's right, I came to ask Big Brother a question!" Reina used laughter to cover up his embarrassment. Being called stingy by Whitebeard was really... impossible to refute!

Whitebeard didn't bother with the embarrassed Reina. He decided to stop short of offending Reina. If he really offended Reina, would Reina ever want to drink baijiu again?

"Big brother, do you think I don't have the talent for Observation Haki? Why can I already use Armament Haki skillfully, but I still can't awaken Observation Haki?" Seeing Whitebeard's expression, Reina knew there was no need for any nonsense and asked directly.

"Gurararara... Kid... Haven't you noticed? Your Sharingan is somewhat similar to Observation Haki?" Whitebeard laughed loudly upon hearing this.

“They are somewhat similar, but they are two completely different abilities! One is eyes, and the other is senses!” Reina nodded and asked, puzzled.

"But do you know what the first step in training Observation Haki is?" Whitebeard looked at Reina and asked with a smile.

"The first step? Cultivating the feeling?"

"That's not wrong, but how do you cultivate it? Most people are used to believing what they see with their own eyes, let alone someone like you with the Sharingan! So, how do you cultivate this feeling, given that you've always used the Sharingan?"

Reina suddenly realized that, indeed, although he did not consciously rely on the Sharingan, he would unconsciously activate the Sharingan whenever the battle reached a stalemate.

But that was the perfect time to cultivate the sense of sight, and I completely missed it!

In him, the eyes have completely replaced the senses, which is why his Observation Haki has not yet awakened.

"Thank you, brother, I know what to do!" Reina left with a smile.

However, after taking a few steps, he turned around and took the half-empty bottle of liquor that the white-bearded man hadn't finished drinking from beside him.

"That brat..." Whitebeard chuckled and cursed as he watched Reina walk toward Marco's room.

Just as Whitebeard had guessed, Reina used the remaining half bottle of liquor to make a deal with Marco: he would unconditionally cooperate with Reina's training when Marco began to hone his Observation Haki.

Marco didn't want to agree at first. He had been badly beaten by Reina when he first joined the ship, and he was traumatized by it.

So even though the half-bottle of liquor was tempting, Marco still didn't want to agree; he wasn't that freak Joz.

But when he heard that Reina wanted to train his Observation Haki, Marco said he would agree to do it for free, not to mention that there was half a bottle of liquor involved. This was a good opportunity for revenge.

Imagine how wonderful it would be to be able to drink baijiu while unleashing attacks on Reina, who would be unable to retaliate and could only dodge!

But the next day, Marco wanted to change his mind!

Because his attacks were completely meaningless to Reina... They were either dodged or absorbed by him, and after being absorbed, he would pause and continue after digesting them.

This is absolutely a tough job.

He had already drunk the liquor, and if he quit now, he knew he would meet a tragic end. So now he was praying that Reina could awaken his Observation Haki as soon as possible.

Three days later, whether it was due to Reina's talent or divine intervention that Marco's dream came true, Reina finally awakened Observation Haki.

The moment Reina awakened his Observation Haki, Marco ran off, claiming he had already fulfilled his promise, which annoyed Reina, who wanted to continue training.

However, when his gaze swept over all the crew members, even the most honest Joz acted as if he didn't see them.

"I say... everyone... you don't have to do this, do you? It's not bad for you to beat me up, is it?" Reina said somewhat dejectedly.

"Um... First mate, I think you're already amazing! You don't need to train anymore!" The good-natured Joz couldn't help but chime in with Reina's words, drawing comforting glances from those around him.

"Impressive? I don't think so... Huh? What's this?" Reina was just about to use his words to make Joz realize his mistake and thus "willingly" train with him, but he was quickly attracted by a treasure map placed next to him.

“This is a treasure map! We found it when we robbed that merchant ship. Everyone thinks this treasure map is real, so Dad decided to go and take a look!” Joz said honestly.

"Are there any more of these on the ship?" Reina refrained from asking.

Seeing the obvious joy on the first mate's face, Joz was a little puzzled. Although Reina was not usually generous, it was only for the strange things he brought out, such as liquor or the kind of bait that could attract a lot of fish.

Regarding Berry, Reina is usually quite generous.

Even now, his relentless search for treasure is reportedly for the purpose of building a sky island, not because he genuinely loves treasure.

But now, Reina's reaction to the treasure map was even more exaggerated than Hansen's reaction to the Muramasa sword, which puzzled Joz.

However, he has one advantage: he knows he's not smart, so he doesn't ask questions about things he doesn't understand, and he just does what smart people say.

"The treasure maps are all in the navigator's room. He usually checks them out first and selects the real treasure maps before we go back! But Dad doesn't seem to be very interested in treasure hunting, so we haven't searched for treasure many times!" Joz replied honestly.

"Thanks!" Reina walked towards the cabin with a smile, waving to Joz without turning his head.

There was a reason he was so happy: the moment he saw the treasure map, the system, which usually never made any noise, gave him a notification.

"Treasure map found (Level D). Activate treasure hunt mode?"

With questions in mind, Reina asked the system what the treasure hunt mode was.

After the system explained, he learned what the treasure hunt mode was, which is a mode that can be activated after he finds a treasure map confirmed by the system.

In this mode, whenever he is on his way to find the treasure, the system will automatically designate it as his work time, but he can only use this time for four hours each day.

Although it was only four hours, it was practically a free gift to him!

With these four hours, he can have four more hours each day to cultivate or do what he wants.

Most importantly, once you successfully find the treasure, not only will you get the treasure inside, but the system will also give you a treasure map gift pack of the same level as the treasure map.

That's why Reina was so excited, he even forgot about training his Observation Haki with Jozu.

What is this? This is like a windfall!

"Oh!"

The cabin door opened, and the navigator, who was drawing a nautical chart, was somewhat bewildered to see Reina rushing in with an excited expression.

"Where is the treasure map? Where is the treasure map?" Reina asked immediately upon seeing the naval aviator.

"Treasure map? What treasure map?" the navigator asked, looking completely bewildered.

"It's the treasure map! The treasure map on our ship! Joz said all the treasure maps on the ship are with you!" Reina asked anxiously.

Chapter 61 Food Hunting Competition

Although the navigator didn't know what Reina was up to, he still handed over all the treasure maps to Reina.

Reina flipped through the treasure maps one by one, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his face.

About a third of the treasure map in the entire treasure chest was marked by the system, which means that he can activate the treasure hunt mode when searching for these marked treasure maps.

"Alright, I'll take these. If you find any new treasure maps in the future, let me see them first!" Reina happily took the treasure maps marked by the system and left, leaving behind a navigator who was completely confused.

Reina's unusual behavior didn't cause much of a stir. It was just a treasure map; Whitebeard didn't care at all, so the crew members on the ship weren't too concerned either.

However, in the following days, Reina devoted more time to training, and even started practicing swordsmanship, which puzzled the crew members who knew him well.

"What's wrong, First Mate?" Although Sachi only met Reina after his return, they got along very well, and Sachi knew that Reina took his work on the pirate ship very seriously and worked tirelessly every day.
