Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Reina summoned them here with the intention of concentrating their forces to attack the extraterrestrial visitors. Even if they didn't reach the pillar of light, they at least wanted to lure out the visitors' powerful members and test their strength.

However, Ace's statement is not without merit.

Now, virtually all the world's powers have gathered in the North Sea. If they launch a direct attack, they might end up benefiting others, since their enemies are all extraterrestrials.

Once they make an offensive stance, they are likely to attract extraterrestrial visitors from other directions, which would benefit other forces.

However, Reina wasn't worried. The other party reminded him of the game players in his previous life. They weren't a monolithic entity, but rather divided into many factions. Under normal circumstances, people from other factions wouldn't come over unless they defeated the other faction, then the other "players" would come.

His plan this time was to only bring captain-level combatants to form a sharp blade group and directly charge towards the pillar of light to test the opponent's strength. The safest approach would be to defeat them before they could grow stronger.

Once those extraterrestrial visitors grow stronger, they will be utterly powerless against the "players" who can resurrect repeatedly.

“I still agree with Reina’s suggestion! It’s not a good idea for so many of us to stay here. If we just want to hold the line, we don’t need so many people!” Lacou agreed with Reina’s suggestion.

The other captains nodded in agreement. Although the enemy had a considerable number of members and could keep respawning, their strength was not very high. The strongest among them was only around the captain level, so there was no need for them to send so many people.

“We’ve been here for a while now. I’m planning to make a move this time and see how they react. After we get back, I’ll contact Big Brother and have four of the captains who stayed behind in the New World come over to replace our four captains who went back to rest! From now on, we’ll rotate them every month according to the schedule!” Reina explained his plan.

They have eight captains here, and eight captains in the New World. They rotate every month, with four captains rotating each time. That means that after two months, the people here can go back to the New World to rest. After resting for two months, they come back to fight for another month.

In this way, all the captains can be tempered by battle, improving their strength without putting too much strain on their bodies from long-term combat.

"Hahaha... The first mate is so thoughtful. This way, the guys who are about to go back won't be afraid of getting hurt in the battles at the end of each month!" Jin Guduo said with a big laugh.

"It would be best if we didn't get hurt. Right now, the strongest enemies we've encountered on the front lines are only at the level of ordinary captains. But once we go deeper in, there might be even stronger enemies. If we kill them... we'll gain even more benefits!" Reina said, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

He only recently discovered that he could actually earn points by killing those extraterrestrial visitors, although the points were few. He hadn't noticed it at first, but when he returned to the front line this time, he found that his points had actually increased. After checking the system records, he realized that he could get points by killing extraterrestrial visitors, and the stronger the opponent, the more points he would get.

He was even planning to use the other person as a score-farming machine.

Even now, Reina still has a significant shortage of points, and the more he progresses, the more points he needs to exchange for things, whether it's the Sharingan or the Black Emperor's abilities.

He's just a few points away from being able to anthropomorphize Senbonzakura. Then Hyōrinmaru and Senbonzakura will become humans and stay by his side, not only as a great help but also as weapons at any time.

After Hyōrinmaru was personified, he gained the ability to merge with Reina. However, that ability was acquired only after a long period of training with Hyōrinmaru. Therefore, he planned to personify Senbonzakura as soon as possible. That way, he might be able to merge with Senbonzakura in the future, or even merge with Hyōrinmaru and Senbonzakura at the same time. If that happened, the strength he could unleash in a short period of time might surpass the level of the Four Emperors and reach another level.

Chapter 676 Attack

"Everyone, our goal this time is to advance further. Let's avoid unnecessary fighting and move towards the location of the pillar of light as quickly as possible!" Reina stood at the front of the group and said, "I'll lead the way, everyone follow my pace!"

"Yes!" the eight captains replied in unison.

“Very good! This time only the captain-level combat force is deployed. All captains, stay here and make sure that no extraterrestrial visitors expand their territory by even an inch!” Fang Yi then looked at the captains around him.

They were all captains under the Whitebeard Pirates. They came to the North Blue voluntarily, so the number of captains in the first batch was not large, but it was not small either. There were more than a dozen captains and their crews, plus a combat squad of eight captains, which was enough to defend this area!

Moreover, if they attack, the opponent will have to expend more troops to defend, thus reducing their offensive capabilities.

Reina originally wanted to leave one or two captains here to oversee things, but everyone wanted to go and see, so Reina didn't keep anyone.

After quickly assigning the men, Reina led the captains directly toward the battlefield.

"This is the front line, and also the first island the enemy has. Our primary objective is to clear this island and relieve some pressure on our defenders!" Reina said to the captains around him as they approached the island.

"Understood!" everyone nodded in response.

With all their strongest warriors attacking together, their defenses will inevitably be weakened. Therefore, it will be imperative for them to eliminate the enemy's manpower as they advance.

"Sharingan...activate!"

"Swastika!"

As they approached Kojima, Reina activated his Sharingan and simultaneously unleashed Senbonzakura's Bankai. As for Hyōrinmaru, because he could transform, he accompanied Reina in human form, and he could also exert considerable power during the battle.

Seeing this, the other captains also prepared for battle and launched an attack the moment they landed on the island.

"Boom boom boom..."

The captains and Reina's combined offensive was quite fierce, catching the extraterrestrial visitors completely off guard.

The strongmen stationed here are only at the level of Whitebeard Pirates' captains. Not only are they outnumbered by Reina and his crew, but their strength is also far inferior.

The battle proceeded quickly, and Reina and his team did not linger. He knew that the enemy had internal communication devices similar to a network, so the enemy should have known about their actions as soon as they made their move.

So after killing the powerful figures on this island, Reina led the captains directly to the next small island.

"Attention...Attention...The natives of Island Twelve are launching a counterattack. Led by eight experts of level 30 or above, plus one expert whose level cannot be detected, they are advancing towards Island One! All units, please take note!"

"Attention...Attention...The natives of Island Twelve are launching a counterattack. Led by eight experts of level 30 or above, plus one expert whose level cannot be detected, they are advancing towards Island One! All units, please take note!"

Just as Reina and his team launched their assault, several red notifications appeared in the extraterrestrial visitors' internal communications, startling all of them.

In their ranking system, similar to the game Reina played on Earth, the lowest-ranking captains of the Whitebeard Pirates were all above level 30, while Marco's strength was already very close to level 40.

As for the admirals of the navy, they are all powerful individuals above level 40.

At their peak, Whitebeard and the other four emperors were beings of level 45 or higher, and so far they have not discovered any beings in the One Piece world who are above level 50.

Of course, Roger, Whitebeard, and others at their peak might have been level 50, but they appeared at the wrong time, so the extraterrestrial visitor has no idea whether there are any level 50 beings now.

As for the question mark level of Reina, it's because the level of the person investigating is too low to investigate at all.

The level 30 expert stationed on the island could have detected Reina's level, but he had already been killed by Reina and didn't have time to send a message. To get information from him, they would have to wait for his main body to awaken.

However, when they invade other planets, they send their own consciousness entities, which are then materialized using special devices. Therefore, when their consciousness entities are destroyed, their physical bodies need a period of time to awaken, and even after awakening, they will still experience a period of weakness.

That's why they come in batches.

However, although they have internal communication methods, it still takes time to mobilize troops. After arriving in the world of One Piece, they also need to follow the rules here. If they want to travel from one island to another, they also need to sail by ship.

So before their reinforcements arrived, Reina and his men had already broken through the second island and even killed the powerful guards stationed there.

"Attention... attention... the natives' counterattack is led by a top-tier level 45 expert! Immediately notify the general that they are heading towards Island Number One! Immediately notify the general and order them to garrison Island Number One!"

Although the second island was quickly captured by Reina and his team, Reina's level was also exposed; he was a level 45 Yonko-level fighter.

These extraterrestrial generals are all top-tier experts above level 40. They usually guard the area around the pillar of light. During the first round of attacks, they will not stray far from the pillar of light, which is the area around Island Number One.

However, after their consciousness descended, they would occasionally get bored here. Just like playing a game, they would sometimes withdraw their consciousness and return to their original world to rest.

Now that the natives have begun to rebel, these powerful individuals must protect Island Number One. If the light pillar is breached by the people of the One Piece world, the passage they opened at great cost will be closed. Once closed, they will have to pay a huge price to reopen it.

Such a mistake is something that generals like them simply cannot afford.

So after receiving the news, whether they were generals who were already on Island One or generals who had returned to the mainland, they all returned to their positions as quickly as possible, waiting for Reina and the others to arrive.

Around the pillar of light, their strength was enhanced to some extent, which was the only help they could receive after paying such a high price.

Chapter 677 Testing

"Watch out, their powerful figures are coming!" Although they hadn't yet reached the island where the pillar of light was located, Reina's Observation Haki had already detected that many extraterrestrial visitors were heading their way.

Those who dare to come over at a time like this are unlikely to be cannon fodder, so Reina reminded his companions to stay alert.

"Finally here! I was about to fall asleep if no one came!" Bramank laughed and took out his weapon from the pocket under his mouth.

"Don't let your guard down! Keep fighting and advancing. The next island should be the one where the pillar of light is!" The blade-like magatama in Reina's eyes began to spin rapidly. He planned to kill the enemy as soon as possible, firstly to demoralize them, and secondly to continue advancing quickly.

If they are blocked here, they will lose the possibility of advancing. After all, this is already the enemy's core area. If they get entangled here, it will be terrible.

"Slash!" When the first powerful extraterrestrial visitor that Reina sensed approached, Reina immediately unleashed a slash.

"kill!"

"Leave this to me!"

"rush!"

Like Reina, the captains didn't hold back at the same time and charged towards the arriving reinforcements.

"Pfft~ Pfft~"

Reina and the captain's attack caught the enemy off guard. Clearly, they hadn't expected Reina and his team to go all out from the start.

"Go, don't linger!" After breaking through the defenses, Reina didn't stop at all and rushed straight towards the next island.

If they had stopped here, the powerful reinforcements who had just arrived would probably have all fallen. However, in that case, Reina and the others would probably not have been able to continue their advance.

Because the next wave of reinforcements is not far away.

"Stop them! We absolutely cannot let them break through to Island Number One!"

"Damn it, they're all useless! Just ten of them, and they actually managed to get to our core area. Are you all trash?"

The extraterrestrial visitors' internal communication network was quite noisy due to the sudden advance of Reina and others.

"Don't panic! We're already in position on Island One. They won't break through so easily! All experts above level 30, come to Island One and take your positions. Since they want to fight here, let's play around with them here!" As the commander in charge of the attack on the One Piece world, Sawada is a super strong expert of level 45 and is also responsible for guarding the last line of defense for the pillar of light.

Besides him, there were two other level 39 powerhouses who accompanied him to guard the pillar of light.

Since this is their first time in this world, the highest level they can reach is level 45. Only by continuously occupying this territory and absorbing the planet's fortune can they send more and stronger people over.

That's why they were so surprised and flustered when they heard that a level 45 expert had arrived.

However, their abilities are enhanced around the pillar of light, so even though the opponent also has a level 45 expert, he is still confident that he can defeat them.

Little did he know that Reina hadn't come to destroy the pillar of light at all; he was just there to investigate.

So when Reina led the captains to Island Number One, the powerful figures there were already on high alert.

"It seems we won't be able to reach that pillar of light today!" Reina sighed, looking at the pillar of light not far away, and said softly.

"I really didn't expect them to send so many powerful people. If the other places had cooperated with our attack and distracted them, we might have had a chance!" Ace said with some regret.

Clearly, in Ace's view, the powerful figures here must have been gathered by the enemy from all directions. Otherwise, if there were so many powerful figures from just one direction, they wouldn't even need to fight; this world would definitely not be able to stop the enemy's attack.

"How will we know if we don't try? Maybe they're all show and no substance!" Lakyo chuckled and said.

There were nearly fifty people in front of them, and each of them seemed no less capable than themselves.

They didn't know that the extraterrestrial visitors who appeared here were all at least level 30, meaning they were at least captain-level combatants, and there were no fewer than fifty of them here.

"Don't push yourselves too hard, everyone. If it really comes down to it, we'll retreat!" Reina shook his head and said, "At least now we know that our strength alone is not enough to break through them!"

Reina stared at someone positioned towards the back of the crowd, sensing danger emanating from that person.

Although they haven't fought yet, Reina knows that his opponent is a strong fighter on the same level as him.

"Hehe... Just like Lakyo said, since we're already here, we might as well give it a try!" Jingudo licked his lips and said.

"What's the point of saying anything more? Let's just do it!" Reina took the lead and charged out.

"Kill!" Following Reina's action, the other captains also launched an attack instantly.
