Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

The match that day ended inconclusively, as it was difficult to compare the results. So, Reina took out two jin (approximately 1 kg) of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and shared it with everyone at the banquet.

“Father, this is the prey I hunted! Wahahahaha…” Olga stood on a giant sea king carcass and laughed triumphantly.

This was a deal between her and Marco, for which Marco specifically hunted down two sea kings.

After storing the two extra pieces of sea king meat in the underground freezer on the sky island, the banquet officially began.

All the pirates gathered around the campfire, singing and drinking happily, and dancing a dance that Reina didn't even know. In short, everyone was very happy.

The most popular item that night wasn't the sea king that Reina and his crew had hunted, but rather the seven or eight tigers that Joz had brought back.

As pirates, they could eat Sea King meat occasionally, but they rarely ate land creatures like tigers. So, eight tigers were eaten and only eight skeletons remained.

As for the tiger skin, it was completely stripped off by Reina and made into eight tiger-skin armchairs, which were placed in the conference room of the Moby Dick.

"This looks pretty good!" Even Whitebeard couldn't help but exclaim after seeing the finished product made by Reiner.

"Hahaha... But unless you encounter a tiger king-level guy, this tiger skin chair isn't worthy of your status, Boss!" Reina said with a laugh.

While Whitebeard is already quite tall, he's not quite as tall as he will be in the future. So, if he wanted to sit on this tiger-skin chair, it wouldn't be a problem. However, it's just the skin of an ordinary tiger. It's fine for them to sit on, but it would be a bit beneath Whitebeard's dignity.

"Don't worry, Dad, I'll hunt a tiger king for you later, and then I'll ask the first mate to help make it!" Joz said, patting his chest.

“It’s just a few chairs, no need to make such a fuss! If Dad and everyone like them, we can hunt a few more tomorrow!” Vista said with a smile and a shake of his head.

Reina nodded and said, "That's right, and this guy's meat tastes pretty good, we can store some! Then we can replace all the chairs in the conference room with tiger skins!"

Originally, he intended to use the tiger-skin chair as a symbol of status, so that only the ship's officers were qualified to sit on it. However, considering that the Whitebeard Pirates were far from reaching their peak, they would not have established combat squad captains, so he abandoned this plan.

The banquet continued, and the pirates' love for the banquet was even greater than their love for treasure. In all the time Reina had been in this world, he had never met a pirate who didn't like banquets.

"Beep... Thirteenth consecutive day of clocking in... Payday is being settled..."

You have received a base salary of 130 points.

Overtime pay: 300 million Berries

You have received a treasure pack: a set of amber wine utensils.

When it came time to settle his wages that day, Reina received a treasure gift pack from the system after digging up the treasure map.

However, that amber wine set was just a household item; although it was very beautiful, it did not increase his strength in any way.

He has now accumulated nearly 3 points, and is still 2 points away from purchasing the Bloodline Ability Evolution Ticket.

However, he discovered that as time went by, his physical proficiency had already exceeded half, and perhaps when he had saved up 5 points, it would be time to buy an intermediate skill evolution scroll.

However, when he checked the prices in the store, he found that the evolution ticket for the beginner level was only worth 1,000 points, but the price jumped to 10,000 points for the intermediate level, a tenfold increase, which left Reina with a deep sense of powerlessness.

So far, all he has redeemed from the store are daily necessities, which have done very little to help his strength.

This is because points are too hard to earn, so he has to save them up to exchange for things that can maximize his strength.

He originally thought that with the treasure pack, he would be able to get some items that would enhance his strength, but judging from this experience, most of the items he got from the treasure pack were just valuable daily necessities, which did not help his strength at all.

However, this was only the first time, so Reina planned to try it a few more times. If it were like this every time, then the appearance of this treasure mode would only bring him a lot of working time, and would have limited effect on his strength.

"Reina, we're going tiger hunting, do you want to come?" After waking up the next day, Joz and his group were indeed planning to hunt some tigers, and he excitedly invited Reina.

However, Reina had no such thoughts at the moment, so after rejecting Joz, he began to select the highest-level treasure map from the pile of treasure maps recognized by the system.

Chapter 63 Strange Monkey

"Bang!"

The tavern door was opened, and a group of pirates walked in arrogantly, but Reina, who was sitting in the corner, ignored them.

After discovering the treasure on the deserted island that day, Reina selected the highest-level treasure map for Whitebeard, hoping that the pirate crew would continue to search for treasure.

Although Whitebeard wasn't particularly interested in the treasure, he knew that Reyna needed funds to build Skypiea, otherwise he wouldn't have come here to search for treasure, so he didn't refuse.

After sailing for three days toward the treasure's location, they came across a small island, so the whole group went ashore to rest for a day and buy some nautical supplies.

"Sorry, we're out of drinks at our tavern!" the slender proprietress said somewhat fearfully to the pirate who had just entered.

"Sold out? If they're sold out... then what are they drinking?" At this moment, besides Reina's table, there were several other tables in the tavern occupied by members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

And they bought up all the wine in the tavern.

"We bought all the wine, so what? You disagree?" Hansen was the first to stand up and asked the pirate captain.

"How dare you! Who do you think you are, speaking to our captain like that? Do you even know who he is...?"

"Oh!"

Before the pirate could finish speaking, Reina kicked him out of the tavern.

"Why waste words with these trash? Check if they have any bounties on them. If they do, pack them up and send them to the boss as an apology! Those without bounties, sink them into the sea!" Reina clapped his hands and said nonchalantly.

Either don't make a move, or if you're going to make a move, just make it. He dislikes people who talk for ages before starting a fight; it's a complete waste of time.

Sure enough, Reina's words stunned the group of pirates. They had never seen anything like this before, where a fight broke out at the drop of a hat. Shouldn't they have exchanged threats first and then compared their bounties?

What is this? Do you think we don't respect them?

Just as the pirate captain was about to draw his weapon to retaliate, he saw that all the patrons in the tavern stood up.

“Reina…aren’t you being a real spoilsport?” Marco said, squinting his eyes with displeasure.

"Disappointing? There's something even more disappointing! I'm leaving this to you. I'm going back to the ship. I don't even have the desire to touch this trash!" With that, Reina walked straight out of the tavern, truly no longer caring about what was going on here.

However, after leaving the tavern, Reina did not actually return to the ship, but instead followed the town's roads to the mayor's house.

"Gurararara... The old man is right, then I'll take these children with me!" A loud laugh came from inside, giving Reina a headache.

Now that the Whitebeard Pirates are growing, it's clear that Whitebeard doesn't intend to build an elite crew, but rather to bring all the unfortunate children aboard and make them his family.

Wherever he went, he would take the orphans on the islands who were willing to go with him onto his ship and make them his sons.

"Brother... if this continues, we'll have to change our pirate ship!" Reina said with a wry smile.

The current Moby Dick is not the kind of behemoth ship of the future; its size is about the same as a standard Navy warship. The pirate crew already has double-digit members, and if this continues, it will only be a matter of time before it breaks into triple digits.

"Gurararara... Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Whitebeard patted Reina on the shoulder and said with a smile.

After leaving the small island and sailing for several days, they finally arrived at the island marked on the treasure map. However, this place was different from last time, because when they arrived at the burial site according to the treasure map, they did not find any treasure at all.

"Huh? Could it be a fake treasure map?" Joz wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in confusion.

Reina will never forget this kind of hard labor.

“It shouldn’t be fake…” Reina held the treasure map, stroking his chin as he pondered.

If the treasure map is recognized by the system, then it means that the treasure map is definitely real. It's just that something unexpected happened in the middle, either they went to the wrong place, or the treasure was later moved by someone.

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

Just when they were at their wits' end, a group of monkeys suddenly surrounded them and kept chirping at them.

"Why are these monkeys surrounding us?" Marco said, somewhat annoyed, looking at the monkeys that had suddenly appeared around them.

"These monkeys... I wonder if they taste good!" Hansen looked at the monkeys, hesitated for a moment, and did not immediately try to catch them, because the monkeys did not look very appetizing.

"Idiot...can you stop thinking about food all the time?" Reina was speechless. This guy was a complete glutton; he wanted to eat everything he saw.

"Could this place have originally been the home of these monkeys?" Vista asked after thinking for a moment.

“That’s impossible. Although there are some trees here, they don’t meet the requirements for monkeys to make a home, so it shouldn’t be their home!” Reina shook his head and said.

"Then why are they surrounding us? They can't be planning to attack us, can they?" Hansen said with amusement, looking at the snarling monkeys.

As soon as he finished speaking, the monkeys took out stones from behind them and threw them directly at Reina and the others.

"Damn it! You jinx, don't follow me out again, or you'll get me killed sooner or later!" Reina said to Hansen while carrying Olga and dodging the stones.

After Hansen deflected the stone attack with his weapon, he smiled somewhat embarrassedly at Reina; he hadn't expected this.

"Humph!"

"Dong dong dong..."

Joz transformed into diamond and charged towards the monkey troop through the rain of stones. The stones clanged against him, but caused him no harm whatsoever.

"Boom~~ Boom~~"

After Joz knocked down several large trees, the monkey troop began to scatter.

“Marco, follow those monkeys and see where they ended up. I suspect they took the treasure!” Reina said to Marco, who had the ability to fly, as soon as he saw the monkeys flee.

"Them?" Marco was skeptical. Why would monkeys want those treasures?

However, since Reina had said so, he did not object. He spread his arms, which turned into wings and flew into the air to monitor the monkeys from above.

"Go, follow Marco!" Reina gave the order from the ground, and the crew members followed him, heading in the direction Marco had gone.

Those who disembarked to search for treasure this time included only Reina, Olga, Marco, Joz, Vista, and Hansen, along with a dozen or so ordinary crew members.

The rest of the group rested on the ship; they weren't interested in treasure hunting, so they all stayed on board.

"Huh... this is a ruin?" Reina followed Marco in the air, and after the forest disappeared, what came into their view was actually the entrance to a building.

“I saw the monkeys and went in from there!” Marco said, pointing to the entrance of the building ahead.

“Interesting! Let’s go in and take a look… After we eliminate the dangers inside, let the doctor take a look. Maybe he’ll discover something!” Reina said with a smile.

So the group followed Reina and went into the building that resembled ruins.

"Tsk tsk tsk... This place seems quite extraordinary!" Marco remarked as he walked around, looking at the surroundings.

“That’s right. Judging from the architectural style and materials, the people who live here must be quite wealthy!” Reina nodded and said.

Marco's face darkened; that wasn't what he meant at all.

Just as Hansen was about to speak, Reina, quick as a flash, covered his mouth and said fiercely, "I told you, shut up!"

"Ugh..." Hansen pointed behind Reina, looking anxious, as if he wanted to say something.

Reina looked back and saw countless monkeys emerging from all directions, surrounding them once again. This time, however, the monkeys were not carrying stones, but sharp spears and arrows.

"Damn it! Why didn't you say so earlier!?" Reina was startled, never expecting that they would fall for a bunch of monkeys' trick. It was so embarrassing!

Hansen looked at Reina with a resentful expression. He wanted to say it sooner, but did you give in?

"It seems we can't move forward without defeating these monkeys!" Reina said with a strange grin, cracking his knuckles.

"Chirp chirp chirp..." The monkey troop slowly parted, and a monkey with white fur all over its body, looking very old, wearing clothes woven from branches and leaves, slowly walked out. Then, it started making strange noises at Reina and the others, while waving its arms and legs as if it were dancing.
