Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

But Reina acted as if he hadn't seen it. The Thousand Cherry Blossoms in his hand vanished, turning into countless petals that drifted toward his target.

"Bang!" As reinforcements, the extraterrestrial visitor who came to the rescue hit Reina first. The iron staff in his hand struck Reina's head directly, but what he felt was strange was that it did not have the usual sense of impact. He even mistakenly thought that he had hit something soft.

Reina completely ignored his attack and, at the same time Senbonzakura hit the target, kicked the target in the heart.

"Whoosh~~Bang!" The extraterrestrial being struck by Reina fell from the sky onto the battlefield like a sandbag.

Reina no longer looked at the enemy he had hit, but instead waved his hand, and Senbonzakura reappeared in his hand, looking at the person who had ambushed him earlier.

Upon seeing Reina looking at him, the person opposite him changed his expression and immediately turned and ran.

"Trying to run away now? Too late! Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"

The Bankai Senbonzakura vanished directly from beneath Reina's feet, then a thousand blades rose up, each blade shattering and creating countless other blades that flew towards the opponent.

"Clang clang clang..." Although the opponent was running away, seeing that there was no way to escape, he knew that there was no other way but to fight to the death. So he turned around and swung the iron rod quickly, blocking most of the sword fragments.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

Although he survived Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, he was now covered in blood. Especially when he saw Senbonzakura reappear in Reina's hands, he knew that his survival today depended on how fast the reinforcements arrived.

"Don't rush, try this move again... Final View - White Emperor Sword!" The Thousand Cherry Blossoms, which had been infused with energy by Reina, flashed with a dazzling light and then disappeared again. However, a huge bird-shaped energy appeared and flew directly towards the terrified extraterrestrial visitor.

The extraterrestrial visitor desperately wanted to dodge, but his feet seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move at all, and he could only watch helplessly as his body was struck by the opponent.

"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~~"

A massive energy explosion erupted in front of Reina, leaving a slash about ten meters wide that stretched from him all the way to the sea.

The extraterrestrial visitors and the navy, who were engaged in battle, were frozen in place. If such attacks continued a few more times, the entire island would probably be destroyed.

Chapter 708 Ability Enhancement

After Reina dealt with the two enemies, the extraterrestrial who was fighting Hyōrinmaru had long since disappeared without a trace.

The enemy chose to retreat after Reina dealt with the first extraterrestrial visitor.

Although Reina's appearance was brief and he didn't have much time to defeat his opponent, it was enough for the opponent to escape.

If Reina chooses to pursue at this point, he can still catch up with the enemy. However, the enemy has communication capabilities similar to the internet. If he chases after them now and encounters their reinforcements, it will be very troublesome.

So he was quite satisfied that he was able to take down two enemies who were close to level 30 through a sneak attack.

Don't be fooled by Reina's quick victory over two captain-level fighters; it wasn't actually that simple.

First of all, the opponent's strength is definitely inferior even compared to the weakest captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, which means that the opponent's level is not level 30.

Secondly, during the initial encounter, Reina was able to quickly eliminate the first enemy, largely thanks to his Black Emperor ability after advancing.

After absorbing the impact of the second extraterrestrial visitor, he instantly released it, adding it to his own original power, and struck the first extraterrestrial visitor directly, inflicting a fatal blow and breaking the situation of the opponent being two against one.

This led to the seemingly simple battle that followed.

If the first enemy isn't dealt with quickly at the beginning, and they regroup and start hit-and-run tactics, then it will be really difficult for Reina to make a move, and the battle will definitely not be as one-sided as it is now.

"It's...it's a pirate, Akame Reyna! The vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, the great pirate...Akame Reyna!"

At this moment, the surrounding naval soldiers realized that the person who had suddenly appeared on the battlefield was none other than the great pirate, Akame Reyna.

However, Reina ignored the marines, looked around, absorbed the two streams of luck that appeared, called out to Hyōrinmaru, and then left.

As for the remaining extraterrestrial visitors, they can be left to the navy. Without a strong figure in charge, the navy should be able to easily reclaim this small island.

After Reina left, the lieutenant general in charge of the operation had a grim expression and ordered someone to relay the intelligence back to the headquarters.

His mission was to train the newly arrived naval soldiers, firstly to acclimatize them to the fighting style of those extraterrestrials, and secondly to let them see blood and get used to the combat here.

Unexpectedly, Reina suddenly jumped out and used them to instantly kill two powerful extraterrestrial visitors. He even absorbed two streams of luck power right in front of them.

As a lieutenant general in the headquarters, he naturally understood the importance of the power of destiny.

Now that Reina had taken it from him, his expression was naturally not good.

The naval soldiers thought that Reina had stolen the Vice Admiral's thunder, which was why the Vice Admiral was unhappy.

Having absorbed the power of destiny, Reina returned to the hard shell's back and then let it carry him forward.

"This feeling... doesn't seem to have improved anywhere!" Reina lay on the recliner, carefully sensing the state of his body, but found nothing that had been enhanced.

He wasn't a Devil Fruit user, so he wasn't in any situation where he was countered. Nor was he like Garp or Whitebeard, who were old men past their peak physical abilities. So in both of these aspects, he felt that he hadn't improved at all.

However, he also knew that the power of luck must have enhanced him in some way, he just didn't know it yet.

With this success, Reina decided to continue his sneak attacks. After leaving the Navy's territory, he went to the Big Mom Pirates' territory again, but he never had the same opportunity as before.

The island wasn't very big to begin with, and the extraterrestrials stationed there weren't very strong, nor were the people the navy sent. This gave Reina an excellent opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

However, the islands where the battle is taking place on Big Mom's side are at least four or five times larger than the previous islands, and there are more powerful people on them, making Reina's sneak attack even more difficult.

However, after spending some time looking around, Reina decided to go back. It wasn't that he couldn't find an opportunity, but that Sabo had arrived. So Ace dialed Reina's Den Den Mushi and asked him to go back.

Although the battles of the past few days did not allow Reina to absorb the power of destiny again, they did allow him to master the Black Emperor's abilities more skillfully after his advancement. Moreover, he seemed to have figured out which aspect of his abilities the power of destiny had enhanced.

First of all, regarding ninjutsu, when he uses ninjutsu, its power is not only comparable to that of Naruto, but even less than that of Robin.

However, after absorbing the power of destiny this time, he felt that the power of his ninjutsu seemed to have increased.

Furthermore, he felt that the power of Hyōrinmaru and Senbonzakura had increased when using them, but there was no change when using Haki.

Therefore, Reina speculated that those two streams of fortune might be a sign that this world had gained some recognition of the power he possessed, a power that originally did not belong to this world.

This restored some of the abilities he should have had.

Putting everything else aside, if the genjutsu granted by the Sharingan could actually be used in the world of One Piece, Reina felt that, if not invincible, at least no one could defeat him in a one-on-one fight.

Furthermore, if Hyōrinmaru were to unleash all the power he displayed in Bleach, freezing an entire island would be a piece of cake for Reina, let alone Senbonzakura.

If he could reach the level of the characters in "Bleach," that island would probably have been destroyed long ago with his previous "Final Scene: White Emperor Sword."

Having figured out what he had gained and become familiar with Black Emperor's new abilities, Reina felt it was time to go back. If he continued to wander around like this, both the Navy and Big Mom would probably come after him.

When Reyna returned to the island controlled by Whitebeard, Sabo was drinking and chatting with Ace.

Upon seeing Reina enter, both men stood up and greeted him.

“Lord Reina, it’s been a long time. The chief asked me to convey his greetings to you!” Sabo bowed to Reina and said.

"No need for formalities. You and Ace are brothers, so you're family! Besides, that brat Luffy is Robin's captain!" Reina waved his hand and said with a smile.

Sabo smiled but didn't say anything more.

"By the way, Ace, did you tell Sabo about what happened here?" Reina asked after finding a seat, taking a sip of ale.

“I’ve already given you the gist of it, but this kid doesn’t seem to believe me!” Ace replied with a chuckle.

Chapter 709 Sabo's Arrival

"Sabo, what is your Revolutionary Army's view on extraterrestrial visitors?" Reina asked after thinking for a moment.

Sabo paused for a moment, then thought for a second before saying, "Currently, those so-called extraterrestrial visitors have only appeared in the North Sea, and this area has been sealed off by the Navy, so very little intelligence has leaked out! We've discussed this internally and believe it's indeed necessary to make contact with them, but we don't have a good way yet!"

Sabo's answer revealed a lot of information, which was also what Reina asked. If it were someone else, he wouldn't have answered like that.

First of all, his words revealed the Revolutionary Army's attitude toward extraterrestrial visitors. Don't underestimate these; the Revolutionary Army is a powerful force, and some of their decisions can even influence the course of the world.

Secondly, they also expressed their demands to Reina, since the Whitebeard Pirates were among the forces blocking the North Blue.

“Sigh…” Reina sighed and said, “I didn’t expect that even your Revolutionary Army would have such an attitude!”

"Hmm? Uncle Reina, is something wrong?" Sabo looked at him with some surprise.

He was certain that the other party understood the hidden message in his words.

However, he couldn't be sure whether Reina's words were a test or a rejection.

After all, before Reina returned, Ace had already told him a lot about the benefits of killing extraterrestrials.

If it were him, and the revolutionary army discovered such a good place, he might not necessarily let others come and share the benefits.

Reina smiled; clearly, Sabo had misunderstood him.

However, Reina wasn't in a hurry. He planned to have Ace and Sabo stay here for a few days first, and then they would understand without him having to explain.

“Alright, I won’t say much to you now. Stay here for a few more days! Ace, Sabo will be with you these next few days. You two can go to the front lines and have some fun. Besides, Sabo just arrived, and those extraterrestrials don’t know his strength yet. Maybe you can even gain something! On the first day, call all the captains and have them cover for Sabo!” Reina said with a light laugh.

"Alright! Don't worry, First mate, we'll definitely catch a big fish!" Ace said with a big smile.

Sabo was completely bewildered, not understanding Reina's purpose in making this arrangement.

"Don't rush, Sabo! Take a good look these next few days, observe and feel carefully!" Reina shook his head, not explaining, but pointing to the map on the table, he said, "This red side shows the current distribution of the extraterrestrial visitors' power in the North Sea. Can you see anything?"

“This…” Sabo had noticed the map on the table long ago, but there were many parts he didn’t understand, especially the red extraterrestrial forces, which seemed to be expanding very rapidly.

“Wait a few days, and you’ll understand. Then look at this map again, and you’ll understand what I’m trying to say! We’ll talk again once you understand the situation here!” Reina said softly.

“Okay!” Sabo nodded. He understood that Reina was looking out for him. If they talked to him without him knowing anything, it would obviously be easier to get what he wanted, no matter what the other party’s purpose was.

A few days later, after following Ace to the front lines several times, Sabo finally understood the situation in the North Blue and felt ashamed of his initial thoughts.

He doesn't even need Reina to explain anything to him now; he already understands a lot on his own.

Because every time he went into battle, Ace would be with him, and there was even the cover from the captains. But even so, apart from his first battle when he severely injured a level 30 expert, he didn't have any great achievements.

However, the captains would explain the changes on the battlefield and the situation here to him while they were fighting, and even told Sabo a lot of information that the Navy did not know.

As Sabo spent more and more time on the battlefield, he quickly integrated into the fighting. The Revolutionary Army was more adept at positional warfare than the pirates, so Sabo's performance became increasingly impressive. He even managed to capture a level 30 powerhouse through his command, which made the captains feel even better about him.

That day, Sabo returned to the camp with Ace from the battlefield. While he was drinking with the captains, Reina found him.

"Sabo, how have you been feeling these past few days?" Reina handed the bottle of wine to Sabo and asked with a light laugh.

"It was very fulfilling and enjoyable! The strength of those extraterrestrial visitors was somewhat beyond my expectations. I really didn't expect there to be so many powerful individuals among them!" Sabo nodded and replied.

"So now you understand the situation here, right?" Reina asked with a smile.

“Of course, I will report back to the leader and ask him to send people to garrison the North Sea permanently! After all, we are the masters of this world!” Sabo nodded and replied earnestly.

This is no ordinary war. To exaggerate a bit, if the North Blue falls, the whole world will be shaken, and it could even lead to the destruction of the world. This is more important than the Celestial Dragons, the Navy, or the World Government.

"It's good that you understand! Also, do you know why we keep trying to hunt down level 30 powerhouses?" Reina asked, looking at the composed Sabo.

Compared to Ace, Sabo, who has always lived with the Revolutionary Army, is more outstanding in terms of overall situation and battlefield awareness, and is also more composed in his dealings with others.

Of course, all of this is in comparison to Ace. Compared to truly composed people... he's just a goofball!
