Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Hmph, what a bunch of parasites!" Lakyo said with dissatisfaction.

"Forget it, these things aren't really relevant to us for now!" Reina chuckled and said, "Let's figure out the purpose of those extraterrestrial visitors first, so we can formulate our next plan!"

"Are you sure BIGMOM will send her daughter to help us?" Kingdo asked Reina curiously.

"She will! With the intelligence capabilities of the Big Mom Pirates, they'll definitely see the threat from the extraterrestrial visitors. Once the situation here deteriorates, Pudding will find herself in the same predicament as Robin, and even worse!" Reina's lips curled slightly as he said, "Robin's case only concerns the Pirate King's treasure, but Pudding... concerns the safety of the entire world! Pirates, the Navy, and the World Government will all be after her! So cooperating with us is the best option!"

“That’s right. The Big Mom Pirates alone are not enough to fight against the world. I estimate that this news will eventually come out of control!” Vista nodded in agreement. “If things worsen, even if our Whitebeard Pirates get involved, it still won’t be enough!”

Reina nodded and said, "That's right, but a lead is a lead in every step! So as long as we get the intelligence a step ahead, that's enough! As for how long this secret can be kept, that depends on the strength of those extraterrestrial visitors!"

"So far, it seems like they haven't produced any particularly powerful figures, have they?" Ace asked Reina. "Even when Fujitora made his move, they only overwhelmed him with sheer numbers; no truly strong individuals emerged!"

"It just hasn't appeared yet, not that it's truly absent. I can sense a powerful aura there, probably not much weaker than mine!" Reina said, looking at the pillar of light that stretched from the horizon directly to the sea. "That powerful figure is probably the one ensuring the pillar of light isn't broken by us, which is why he has never participated in the attack!"

"I'm really looking forward to it! I wonder how powerful their experts are!" Ace chuckled, speaking with some excitement.

“We can’t attack them yet, at least not until we figure out their purpose! If you’re bored, go play around in the battlefield area; it’ll relieve some pressure on the Navy! Their arrival speed has stabilized. In a sense, as long as we kill more people each day than they arrive, we can gradually reclaim our lost territory!” Reina looked at Ace, shrugged, and said.

“We don’t want the North Sea territory, it’s useless to us anyway, and I have no intention of helping the Navy, but it would be nice to go and have some fun!” Ace chuckled and replied.

A few days later, Reina led Ace and the other three to meet Pudding and Smoothie.

"Hey~ Isn't this Smoothie from Sister Lingling's house? You're one of those Three Sweet Commanders now, right? Sister Lingling actually sent you? Does she not trust me?" Reina said with a light laugh when he saw the long-legged Smoothie.

“Mr. Reina! Would you like something to drink?” Smoothie smiled and replied.

"Forget it, I don't want to drink anything other than strong liquor!" Reina waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's get down to business first!"

As the user of the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit, Smoothie can squeeze all the water out of any living creature, somewhat similar to Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit, which allows him to absorb water.

Seeing that Reina didn't seem inclined to talk much, Smoothie simply smiled and led Brin off the ship.

"Are you planning to wait here for us to capture one alive, or are you planning to head to the battlefield together?" After explaining the current situation to Smoothie and Brin, Vista asked.

"Since we're already here, wouldn't it be too boring if we didn't see what's going on?" Smoothie looked very interested, licked her lips, and said with a smile, "I wonder what the juice squeezed from them would taste like!"

“Alright, you just arrived today, take a rest for a day, and we’ll head to the battlefield tomorrow!” Reina nodded and said.

He acknowledged Smoothie's strength, but Pudding, who had been behaving quite adorably, remained silent and listened attentively.

As a descendant of the Three-Eyed Clan, even though she ate the Paramecia-type Memory Fruit, her fighting power was practically nonexistent compared to Reina and the others.

Before she came, both Big Mom and Smoothie warned her not to provoke the Whitebeard Pirates. This time, she only needed to use her abilities to get things done, and she didn't need to worry about the rest.

Chapter 669 Players

"Are those the so-called extraterrestrial visitors?" Smoothie asked curiously, looking at the warriors who were covered in armor and fighting the pirates.

“That’s right, they never communicate with us, but they seem to have their own way of communicating!” Ace nodded and looked at Pudding, saying, “And once they start fighting, they’re fearless. So hopefully we can use her abilities to understand these people!”

Pudding also looked curiously at the two sides that were fighting.

Actually, describing them as fearless is not entirely accurate, because those extraterrestrial visitors would also dodge or even retreat when faced with attacks.

However, from a broader perspective, they are even more fearless of death, launching attacks every day. Even though their casualties are heavy, they still do not know how to retreat, which gives them the impression of being fearless.

“So what do you need me to do now?” Brin asked, looking at Reina.

Before she came, Big Mom specifically instructed her that she didn't need to fight; all she needed to do was obtain the intelligence and bring it back. Smoothie was even sent by Big Mom specifically to escort her back.

"Your ability allows you to read other people's memories, right?" Reina asked softly, "To display their memories as film and then splice them together at will?"

Brin nodded and said, "Yes, but it's not absolute. After being pieced together, he himself might discover it and recover on his own! So, trying to control them in this way in the long term is not advisable!"

"Don't worry, I didn't mean that! Just show them their memories!" Reina replied with a slight smile.

After Reina finished speaking, he nodded to Jingudo and Lakyo beside him. Without saying a word, the two joined the battle and quickly captured an alien visitor.

"Can we take action now?" Reina asked Brin, looking at the extraterrestrial visitor who was still struggling.

"It would be best to make him unconscious, that would be safer!" Brin said after thinking for a moment.

Reina nodded and gave Laco a look, so Laco immediately raised his hand and delivered a chop to the back of the other's neck.

But something unexpected happened. The alien who was hit did not lose consciousness. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Lakyo in a daze.

"Damn it!" Laqué was embarrassed. Wasn't this a slap in the face in front of so many people?

So they raised their hand again and placed a chop to the back of the other person's neck, but the other person still did not faint. Moreover, the other person seemed to have realized their intention and pretended to faint rather awkwardly.

Lakyo almost couldn't resist smashing his opponent into a pulp with his hammer.

"What should we do?" Laco asked Reina.

He had no other choice. If he hit too hard, the opponent would be killed; if he hit too lightly, the opponent wouldn't even be stunned.

Reina thought for a moment, then gave Brin a wink, signaling her to take action immediately.

The reason Brin needs the other person to be unconscious is because any movement will affect her, not because her ability can only be used on unconscious people.

If the other party is pretending to be unconscious, the effect will be the same. As long as Brin extracts the other party's memories, Reina will be able to know the other party's purpose.

Upon seeing this, Pudding nodded and reached out towards the other person's head, pulling out their memories.

Upon seeing this, the extraterrestrial visitor, who was pretending to be unconscious, immediately tried to struggle, but Jingudo and Laco, who were prepared, directly suppressed him, giving him no chance to cause trouble.

After reviewing the other person's memories, the group was shocked.

"What is this? They... they died, how can they be resurrected?" Ace asked in shock, looking at the film in Pudding's hand.

Reina remained silent, his heart filled with shock, even more so than that of Ace and the others.

"Pfft!" With a single wave of her hand, Senbonzakura decapitated the visitor from outer space.

"Go and catch a few more!" Reina said in a deep voice.

Jingudo and Lakyo also stopped joking and nodded solemnly.

If the enemy can truly resurrect indefinitely, then this war will be far more difficult than they imagine.

Soon, Jingudo and Lakyo captured several more extraterrestrial visitors. This time, Reina directly intervened, suppressing them, and then had Pudding use her abilities.

The final results were all very similar, which immediately changed the expressions of the group.

"First mate... who exactly are these people? How can they get here while lying in those boxes? And why don't they die? And how can they be resurrected after we kill them?" Ace asked, looking completely bewildered after reading the report.

“Things have gotten a bit complicated!” Reina sighed, not answering Ace, but looking at Smoothie and Pudding, he said, “Now that you’ve got the intelligence, go back and talk to Sister Lingling about it in detail. I reckon we’ll still have to send someone over eventually! I won’t keep you any longer; we need to head back to Xuan Yue Island now!”

Smoothie and Pudding exchanged a glance, nodded, and said, "Okay! We'll go back and report to Mom right away!"

Indeed, this was somewhat unexpected for them.

Moreover, they finally understood the purpose of those extraterrestrial visitors coming here: they came to seize this world, and as native inhabitants of this world, they were bound to participate in the resistance.

After seeing Smoothie and Brin off, Reina fell into deep thought.

According to the information Brin just obtained, these extraterrestrial visitors come from another world. They enter this world through a box-like device, and by seizing this world's territory, they gain access to the planet's fortune. Once they have taken all the planet's fortune, this world will be destroyed, and they will continue to search for the next world.

However, Reina noticed more clues from the film that Brin had just captured.

Those box-like devices are clearly game nutrition pods.

"So... these guys in front of me... are all players?" Reina looked at the extraterrestrial visitors still fighting pirates in the distance, his thoughts drifting off somewhere else.

"First mate... Dad wants to talk to you!" At this moment, Ace interrupted Reina's thoughts and handed him the Den Den Mushi.

"Big brother!" Reina took the Den Den Mushi and called out softly.

"Ah~ I've already heard about it from Ace. What are your thoughts?" On the other end, Whitebeard's face, unusually devoid of a smile, asked with a somewhat serious expression.

"Hmm! Things are getting a bit complicated! I was originally planning to go back to Xuan Yue Island, since there are many things that can't be explained clearly over Den Den Mushi!" Reina sighed and said.

"Then come back! This isn't something you can solve alone. We'll come up with a couple of solutions later!" Whitebeard said directly.

“Okay! I’ll head back immediately!” Reina nodded and said, “Brother… things might be more serious than we think!”

Chapter 670 Luck

When Reyna brought Marco and the others back to Crescent Moon Island, Whitebeard was waiting for them at the port with his captains.

"Big brother!"

"Dad!!"

Upon seeing Whitebeard, Reina, Ace, and the others quickly stepped forward.

"It's good that you're back! Come on, I've prepared some food for you, let's eat and talk!" Whitebeard nodded, not in a hurry to ask about the North Sea incident, but instead asked Reina and the others to follow him to the banquet square.

When Reina arrived at the banquet square, he found that the food and drinks had already been prepared.

As Whitebeard announced the start of the banquet, everyone raised their glasses and drank heartily.

Reina walked up to Whitebeard, about to say something, when Whitebeard stopped him.

"Let's drink first! We can talk about everything later!"

"it is good!"

Reina nodded and downed his rum in one gulp.

When the banquet was halfway through and everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Whitebeard turned to Reina and asked, "How is the situation in the North Sea?"

"Things are relatively stable for now, but this opponent... is a bit tricky!" Reina nodded and said, "Based on my observation, those people shouldn't be their true forms!"

"Not the original body?" Everyone looked at Reina in surprise, completely puzzled.

On the way back, Reina thought about it carefully. Those extraterrestrial visitors were different from the game players in his previous life. Based on the memories that Pudding had cut out, it seemed that they had projected their bodies into this world through some kind of device.

It looks almost the same as a gamer entering a game.

But the fundamental difference between games and skill is that skill is key!

The players themselves are very weak; their strength is given by the system. But these extraterrestrial visitors are different!

What they project is their true form. If the true form is strong, the projection is strong; if the true form is weak, the projection is weak.

Invading other worlds can enhance their power, which is why they constantly seek out suitable worlds to invade.

The invasion of the One Piece world so far is only the first wave. Because they have not occupied much territory here, the number and frequency of their arrivals are extremely limited. Once they occupy more territory and slowly take away the world's fortune, then they will be able to send more people and powerful figures.

Every world has its own destiny. Although this destiny is invisible and intangible, it does exist. For example, Luffy in the world of One Piece is a child of destiny, born with a strong destiny, which is why his strength grows very quickly.

This world is protected by auspicious energy, so when those extraterrestrial visitors move aside, they can only tear a small opening to let their people in. Once they seize some of this energy, the world's energy will decrease, allowing them to turn that small opening into a large one, letting more powerful beings come and plunder the world's energy.
