Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Huh?" Sure enough, after hearing Reina's question, Sabo looked puzzled and said, "Isn't killing a powerful enemy normal?"

Reina smiled slightly and asked in return, "That's true, but didn't you notice how much effort the captains put into killing the opponent's strongmen?"

Upon hearing Reina's question, Sabo fell into thought. He had naturally noticed this long ago, but since he hadn't interacted with the captains, he didn't know the reason and assumed that this was the general atmosphere within the Whitebeard Pirates.

But now that Reina has asked this question, it's clear that the answer is different.

"Is there some special reason?" Sabo asked in surprise.

“Hehe...that’s right, that’s why we’re so enthusiastic!” Lakyo said with a sly laugh.

Because Sabo is Ace's brother, and Sabo has been cooperating well with them these past few days, plus Reyna said that there's nothing to hide from him, that's why Laco said that.

Chapter 710 Explanation

Sabo was taken aback by the strange laughter of the captains. He really couldn't understand what purpose those extraterrestrial visitors could serve, that they could make the Whitebeard Pirates captains look like this.

“Sabo, this is top-secret intelligence. When the Navy came to us for it, we extorted a lot of supplies from them!” Ace said with a smile. “By the way, how much do you know about the power of destiny?”

"The power of destiny? What is that?" Sabo asked curiously.

"Huh? You don't know about the power of destiny? I remember it was on the front page of the World News, right? The Navy also officially notified the whole world!" Reina frowned and said.

"Is...is that so?" Sabo scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "We haven't paid attention to these things, and as you said, this was released by the Navy. I guess even the leader only glanced at it!"

Reina was taken aback, and then he realized why, despite the news having been out for so long, no one had come to the North Blue except for the Navy and Big Mom, who already knew about it. Even the Beast Pirates only sent a few people to reserve a spot when they saw them arrive.

If he hadn't been beaten so badly later that he couldn't save face, he probably would have forgotten about what happened in the North Blue by now.

“I see!” Reina nodded and said, “Actually, the so-called power of destiny is an ability given to us by the planet we are currently on!”

Reina briefly explained the power of destiny and Sabo.

Then Sabo was shocked.

"So, those extraterrestrials we killed were able to absorb something called the power of destiny? But why didn't I feel anything?" Sabo was at a loss for words to express his shock.

"That's because the enemies are of varying strengths! They came to our world to seize the fortune of our planet. The stronger they are, the more fortune they can seize after their arrival! In addition, they can also seize fortune by expanding and occupying our planet's territory! So when we kill them, we can also obtain fortune. The stronger they are, the more fortune they will obtain!"

"Based on our observations, the power of destiny released by powerful individuals at level 25 and above after we kill them is already visible to the naked eye! We can also feel the changes in our bodies after killing such enemies! However, if we kill ordinary soldiers, we gain too little power of destiny, and the changes to us are not noticeable at all!"

Reina explained in detail.

“But… if killing ordinary soldiers can also grant us the power of luck, then shouldn’t the long-term accumulation also allow us to feel the changes? Although I haven’t been here long, I’ve already killed quite a few enemies!” Sabo asked, puzzled.

"Because every bit of luck that you receive already alters your body, but it's so small and weak that you can't feel it at all! More importantly, the changes each bit of luck causes to your body may be different, so it's hard for you to notice them until a qualitative change occurs!" Ace explained to his brother.

"I previously killed a powerful expert who was around level 30, and then absorbed a visible amount of luck power, which greatly increased my resistance to seawater and seastone, which are forces that are effective against ability users!"

"It can even increase such abilities?" Sabo said, somewhat dumbfounded.

“There’s something even more outrageous!” Reina said with a chuckle. “You should be familiar with Garp, the hero of the Navy, right?”

Sabo glanced at Ace, nodded, and said, "Yes, Ace, Luffy, and I received care from Mr. Garp when we were young!"

"After absorbing a burst of luck, his life force increased! Do you know what that means? It means that old bastard Garp's peak period has been extended again!" Reina said with a wry smile.

“Vitality?” Sabo was taken aback. If this news got out, he could imagine that the North Sea would be overcrowded.

“That’s right. Before you came, I also killed two enemies who were level 25 or higher. The effect was… to enhance my abilities!” Reina said with a smile.

"What?" This time, not only Sabo, but the captains all looked at Reina in surprise, as they knew nothing about this.

Reina explained the situation with a smile. After hearing that Reina had infiltrated the Navy and used them to kill the extraterrestrial visitors, many captains were tempted.

“It’s all about luck. I’ve been to a lot of places and only managed to kill two enemies!” Reina shrugged and said.

"Don't even mention two, one would be fine too! I've never absorbed that kind of visible power of destiny before!" Lakyo said with some envy.

“Anyway, Hardshell and Slippery are nearby. If you want, go find them yourselves and let them take you there! But we can’t lose our base, so only about two people can go at a time. You can negotiate it yourselves! And after my commotion, both the Navy and Big Mom are probably on guard! So you might not be able to succeed,” Reina said with a smile.

“That’s right. Since you’ve already done it, we need to be careful that they don’t do it too! Everyone should stay home for now, and every time we go to the front lines, at least one or two captains should be hiding in the shadows. If they really try to cause trouble and steal kills, let them suffer the consequences!” Lakyo said, a glint of light in his eyes.

“That’s right, maybe this way we can actually pick up some bargains!” Reina nodded, agreeing with Lacjoo’s suggestion.

"In short, everyone should be careful these days, lest we become someone else's stepping stone!" Ace said with a smile.

Everyone naturally started joking around.

However, Sabo did not participate; he was still processing the information he had just received from Reina.

After the captains had all left, Sabo said to Reina, "Mr. Reina, what kind of message would you like me to send back?"

In the time he had just finished thinking things through, he realized that although Ace had invited him, it was probably Reina who had given the order. Moreover, it wouldn't do him any harm, which was why Ace had invited him.

Reina sighed in admiration. As expected of the Revolutionary Army's second-in-command, he had seen through things in such a short time. In this respect, Ace could never compare.

“I didn’t mean to deceive you. You just need to tell Dragon the truth about what you saw and heard!” Reina shook his head and said, “If he decides to come to the North Sea, then we can cooperate. Of course, how to cooperate will need to be discussed later! If he doesn’t want to come, that’s fine too!”

Chapter 711 Whitebeard Arrives

Sabo was somewhat surprised by Reina's statement, but it was still within his expectations.

Both Whitebeard himself and the Revolutionary Army actually had a fairly good impression of the Whitebeard Pirates.

So if it's a collaboration, there shouldn't be any major problems.

However, matters of destiny are of paramount importance. Based on the information we have so far, they are enough to drive the entire world crazy. Therefore, he hopes that if we are to cooperate, we can make things clear in advance.

Therefore, he was not too surprised by Reina's suggestion.

"Rest assured, Mr. Reina, no matter what happens, I will report the truth to the leader. Whatever the final conclusion, I hope it will not affect our relationship!" Sabo bowed to Reina and said.

Reina nodded, indicating that he understood.

After sending Sabo away that day, the Whitebeard Pirates also entered a period of rest and recuperation.

Firstly, they had been on the offensive while accompanying Sabo, so they were quite tired. Secondly, Reina had previously used the Navy and the Big Mom Pirates, so this was a good opportunity for him to relax.

Moreover, the time for personnel exchange was approaching, so Reina simply allowed the captains to enter a rest period.

A few days later, Reina received news that Whitebeard had personally led his men to the North Blue. Apart from Frank, who remained on Crescent Island, all the captains had been brought by Whitebeard.

This news surprised Reina. He had thought that Whitebeard would ask him to go back and discuss it, but he didn't expect Whitebeard to come over with all the captains.

Upon learning that Whitebeard was about to arrive, Reiner immediately ordered the captains not to go out and to stay at the temporary headquarters to rest, except when the extraterrestrials launched a major attack.

Soon, when the Moby Dick appeared in the North Sea, Reina and the captains went to greet it.

"Big brother!"

"Dad!"

"Gurala la la..."

Upon seeing Reyna and the others, Whitebeard seemed very happy, sitting on a specially made recliner and laughing heartily.

"Big brother looks good. Frank, that kid, finally did something good!" Reina stepped forward and, seeing the white-bearded man's appearance, couldn't help but say with a smile.

He naturally knew that Whitebeard had gone out to relax, but he assumed it was Frank's suggestion, which was why he said that.

“Frank has always done a very good job, and this isn’t the only time!” Marco said with a smile, standing next to Whitebeard.

"This can't be blamed on him. Don't think I don't know. If it weren't for Nojiko, you wouldn't have come up with such a good idea!" Whitebeard said, pursing his lips.

He heard Olga mention this when he was on Liliana Island. If it weren't for Nojiga's keen observation, Marco and Frank wouldn't have thought of it.

"Hahaha... By the way, Marco, how did things go with Xuan Yue Island? Most of our families were on the island, and now that we've all left, is the problem on Xuan Yue Island solved?" Reina couldn't help but laugh when he heard this; the girls were indeed more attentive in this regard than they were.

Hearing Reina's question, Marco smiled slightly and said, "You and the Doctor created Xuan Yue Island. Aren't you confident in its defenses? With Frank and the Doctor there, ordinary enemies simply cannot break through Xuan Yue Island's defenses. Even if they encounter powerful enemies, they can dive into the sea. Unless the people from Fishman Island attack, Xuan Yue Island is absolutely safe!"

Upon hearing this, Reina immediately frowned and said, "It is precisely because I participated in the construction of Xuan Yue Island that I am very clear about its weaknesses. If no strong person buys it time, Xuan Yue Island will not be able to complete the dive!"

"Are you worried about Kaido?" Marco asked directly.

Reina nodded and replied, "That's right. In the New World, there are only a handful of people who can threaten Xuan Yue Island, and Kaido is the one we need to be most wary of!"

“But what if he also comes to the North Sea?” Marco said with a smile.

"Huh?" Reina was taken aback and asked in surprise, "You shared this information with Kaido?"

Marco shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with us, it's the Navy!"

"The Navy? They don't even know much about the situation in the North Blue themselves, how could they possibly provoke Kaido?" Reina asked in surprise.

"Hahaha... This is quite a coincidence, not something the Navy did on purpose!" Marco found it amusing as he spoke, saying, "You're the one with Sengoku and Garp, why would you come to the North Blue?"

"Huh? Why?" Reina was already full of doubts about the arrival of Garp, Sengoku, and Advisor Tsuru.

The navy didn't pay much attention to the North Sea to begin with, and apart from the fact that Admiral Fujitora came, there were some reasons for it. The three Sengokus were completely unexpected.

“That’s right, because they… were actually kicked out by Fleet Admiral Sakazuki!” Marco said with a loud laugh.

"Kicked out?" Not to mention Reina, even the captains who had been staying in the North Sea were dumbfounded. That was former Fleet Admiral Sengoku!

How could he possibly be kicked out of the Navy?

Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, Marco laughed even harder and said, "Haha... because Sengoku is too popular, and even after retiring from the position of marshal, he's not really retired; he's still at headquarters doing some behind-the-scenes work. Inevitably, this has had a negative impact on some of Sakazuki's orders!"

Although Marco didn't explain it very clearly, they were all shrewd people, and they immediately understood that it was for political reasons.

Because of Sakazuki's ostracism, they were not happy at headquarters. Just then, the North Blue requested assistance from the Marine Headquarters, so they simply came to the North Blue with Fujitora, which was a bit of a coincidence.

What about Sakazuki? Without Sengoku, Garp, and the others around, his attention was entirely focused on the New World. He even learned from the news sent back from the North Blue that Big Mom had actually gone to the North Blue, so he planned to launch a surprise attack on Whole Cake Island.

However, the New World was not a place where the Navy could act with impunity. Before they could even make a move, the pirates of the New World had already received the news. Sakazuki did not want to directly confront the pirates of the New World, so he abandoned the attack.

However, it's unclear what he was thinking. Perhaps he wanted to lure pirates to the North Blue, so he released the news about the North Blue again, which caused a huge uproar in the New World.

The Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, two of the Four Emperors, have secretly gone to the North Blue. Moreover, they have become stronger and gained new abilities after killing the powerful extraterrestrials, which has aroused the interest of pirates in the New World.

So Kaido, who already had territory in the North Blue, decided to come and see for himself.

Chapter 712 Exposed

When Kaido of the Beasts and Edward Newgate of Whitebeard arrived in the North Blue, the whole world seemed to go crazy. Three of the Four Emperors' pirate crews had gathered in the North Blue.

Now even if the navy wanted to block the news, it would be impossible.

Moreover, as time went on, rumors about the power of destiny spread, and major forces around the world began to focus on the North Sea. Even the Celestial Dragons heard that obtaining the power of destiny would grant them immortality, making extraterrestrial visitors to the North Sea even more sought after.

Furthermore, the influx of a large number of outsiders led to a major purge for the forces that had finally divided up the North Blue region. However, this had nothing to do with the Whitebeard Pirates. As one of the Four Emperors, a powerful force, ordinary forces dared not clash with them. Even other major forces carefully avoided their territory.
