Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Back on his island, Reina shared his findings with Whitebeard, explaining that to obtain information, he needed to understand the other's language, so he planned to get that sorted out first.

Whitebeard watched Reina leave in a hurry, completely bewildered. He didn't understand why Reina could understand the other party's language, and after being in the North Sea for so long, it seemed that no one had ever heard those extraterrestrial visitors speak!

However, considering that Reina was indeed sometimes mysterious, I felt relieved.

Reina, back at the front lines, once again acquired a set of extraterrestrial armor. This time, instead of going elsewhere, he quietly blended into the group of extraterrestrials fighting the Whitebeard Pirates.

"The 11th Army Corps shall retreat, the 12th Army Corps shall attack!"

Not long after, Reina heard the command coming from his helmet again.

This time, after hesitating for a moment, he chose to back down.

Because the owner of this armor should belong to the 11th Legion, which had been on the battlefield, rather than the 12th Legion, which was about to enter the battlefield.

This time, nothing unexpected happened. Following the retreating crowd, Reina rested at the back of the island.

Soon, when he arrived at the back of the island, he found that the soldiers of the 11th Legion, just like him, had found a place to sit or lie down and had fallen asleep.

"No, they're not asleep, they... they descended through their souls? Did they go back to their own planet?" Reina was extremely surprised, but he could only pretend to lie down in a more comfortable position like the others.

There were patrolling soldiers around, though not many, but if he acted recklessly at this time, he would definitely be discovered.

Time passed slowly, and no one knew how much time had gone by. When night fell, the extraterrestrial visitors chose to cease hostilities and rest, and the Whitebeard Pirates did not pursue them. It seemed that the day's battle had come to an end.

Apart from the soldiers patrolling the island, the rest of the soldiers were separated into legions and rested in their respective territories.

Reina subtly turned his head and looked at the tent not far away. It was radiating a huge life force and should be the place where the powerful extraterrestrial visitors on the island lived. If he could just wipe out that place, he might be able to accumulate enough points to exchange for the ability to understand words.

However, after a little thought, Reina knew that this matter was definitely not that simple. Putting aside the patrolling soldiers around him, he couldn't even see what was going on inside the tent. If everyone inside was still there and no soul had returned, he would only alert them if he foolishly rushed over.

However, he didn't dare stay here for too long. He planned to blend into the main force and go back next time they went out. Anyway, they would definitely be going to the battlefield by tomorrow morning at the latest.

Reina's infiltration was a success, and he didn't intend to expose himself. Otherwise, if the enemy found out and took precautions, it would be bad.

The inspection of the contents here is very lenient because they believe that the natives of the One Piece world cannot disguise themselves as them. If they knew about Reina's existence, they might take precautions in advance.

As dawn broke, Reina indeed noticed that the soldiers around him were slowly waking up. However, he did not know how they had broken away and returned. But once someone woke up, the entire rest area slowly came to life.

"Eleventh Legion, prepare for attack! We will launch our attack in ten minutes!" Just as Reina was still looking around, the voice appeared again, immediately putting Reina on alert.

Ten minutes later, Reina and the soldiers of the Eleventh Legion began their attack. They occupied two-thirds of the island, while the Whitebeard Pirates occupied one-third. Normally, they wouldn't engage in large-scale battles, but the fighting would continue indefinitely. If the extraterrestrials discovered any weakness, they would immediately launch an attack, attempting to drive the Whitebeard Pirates off the island.

During the battle, Reina found an opportunity to escape, then killed another soldier from the 11th Legion, impersonated him, and followed them back to their resting place.

This time, Reina was bolder. After all the soldiers had chosen to return, he began to look around when the patrolling soldiers weren't paying attention.

Although the text in the upper left corner of his vision was still flashing, he still couldn't understand it.

"Huh... what's that?" Soon, he noticed something unusual in the direction of the central tent. There seemed to be something unusual there, but the closer he got to the center, the more patrolling soldiers there were, and he had no chance to get close to that side.

"It seems we need to find an opportunity... to replace those patrolling soldiers!" Reina pondered how to approach the central tent, not in a hurry to take action.

Chapter 715 Accident

After spending several days with the Eleventh Legion, Reina was finally able to distinguish which legion these suits of armor belonged to.

When you don't know them, these suits of armor all look the same, but once he discovers their secret, they become very easy to distinguish.

Because these suits of armor all have a mark on the left breast, and the mark varies depending on the legion they belong to, it is impossible to tell them apart if you don't look carefully.

At first, Reina was a little confused about this so-called legion. It was clearly a team of a few hundred people, so why was it called a legion? Later, he learned that every time they went to the camp to rest, the extraterrestrial visitors who came were different people.

So it may look like there are only a few hundred people here, but the souls within them are countless.

Moreover, once their losses exceed a certain number, during their rest period, armored soldiers will automatically appear in the middle tent to replenish their numbers, so that they will be fully manned when they go to battle the next day.

This discovery made Reina even more curious about the central tent.

He had considered going back and leading his team to launch a surprise attack, taking control of the central tent while everyone was resting at night. That way, he could find out what secrets were inside.

However, he dared not take the risk. If the other party realized what was happening, or if they had some kind of self-destruct device, their actions might arouse suspicion.

So he planned to end this reconnaissance trip, go back and accumulate enough points to exchange for the ability to read text before coming back.

However, just as Reina was about to leave the battlefield today, another order came through his helmet in the morning, instructing his 11th Legion to proceed to the transport ships at the seaside.

In that instant, Reina knew that the other side was planning to launch an attack from somewhere; only in this way would these extraterrestrial visitors mobilize their forces.

Reina quickly became anxious because his armor could only last for one day. If he didn't go to the battlefield, once his armor disappeared, he would be exposed to the extraterrestrial visitors.

Moreover, his ability to impersonate an extraterrestrial will surely be leaked.

However anxious he is, he must not reveal his true intentions now. He can only hope that the journey is not too long and that he can get into the battle as soon as possible so that he can escape in time.

Not long after, Reiner and the rest of the Eleventh Legion soldiers boarded the transport ship.

Reina originally wanted to find an opportunity to fall into the sea when no one was around, and then have Liu Liu cooperate with him to pretend that he was attacked by a sea monster.

But after he boarded the ship, he discovered that they were assigned to cabins in groups of four.

And from the moment he entered the cabin, his three other companions sat there motionless, as if they were asleep.

This left Reina somewhat helpless, because he couldn't move around recklessly, or even kill his companions, because he knew that if he made a move, the other side could immediately transmit the message through the chat network in the helmet.

Just when Reina was at his wit's end, he suddenly realized that all the information in his helmet was disappearing, and his three companions with him also slumped over and fell directly into their seats.

"This is... no signal?" Reina was dumbfounded as he looked at the scene before him.

However, having never encountered such a situation before, Reina dared not act rashly and could only mentally call out to Liuliu, instructing it to attack the transport ship he was on.

"boom!"

Soon, a violent shaking occurred, and Reina knew that Liu Liu had made her move, but the other three companions in the room were still unconscious and did not make any movement.

And soon, Reina sensed that someone on the ship had attacked Liu Liu.

"As expected... not everyone is in this... no signal state!" Reina frowned and made a mental note of it.

Reina originally planned to take advantage of Liu Liu's attack to go out and fight, and then die in battle.

Unexpectedly, this situation arose.

Just as Reina was pondering what to do, various signals and messages began to appear inside his helmet, and the other three companions in the room also woke up one after another, grabbed their weapons, and rushed straight out onto the deck.

Reina, of course, wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by, and rushed out with his companions.

Upon arriving on the deck, Reina immediately spotted the extraterrestrials fighting Liu Liu, who were five warriors around level 20.

They were quite strong, but they couldn't do anything to Liu Liu, especially on the high seas, which were Liu Liu's home turf.

However, Liu Liu was unable to cause any damage to the transport ship, as five level 20 warriors were more than enough to protect its safety.

But when Reina appeared, things changed because he could command Liu Liu.

So when Liu Liu dived directly into the sea, the five level 20 warriors became somewhat flustered. At this moment, Reina deliberately walked to the side of the ship.

"Oh!"

The slender figure, already over fifty meters long, crashed directly into the bottom of the ship, nearly capsizing the entire transport vessel. Reina then took the opportunity to pretend to fall into the sea from the ship's side.

He was accompanied by several other extraterrestrial warriors, but they faced a direct attack from Liu Liu.

After Liuliu killed several extraterrestrial visitors who had fallen into the water, Reina quickly shattered his armor, making it look as if he had been eaten by Liuliu.

After doing all this, Reina did not leave immediately. Instead, he waved to Liu Liu and slashed at Liu Liu's head, allowing Liu Liu to carry him to the surface.

Upon seeing Reina's head chopped off, the extraterrestrials on the transport ship knew they were doomed.

Reina smiled slightly, and with Hyōrinmaru in his hand, he figured he might as well take care of the people on board, since they were all worth points anyway.

Those extraterrestrial visitors seemed to know that they could not escape, so they all launched attacks on Reina, but it was all in vain.

A dozen minutes later, Reina finished the fight; there was no need to stay any longer.

Standing on Liuliu's head, he steered it toward the island controlled by the Whitebeard Pirates, while he himself fell into deep thought.

These past few days in his local base camp haven't been without gains; at least he now knows why their powerful figures are always spotted by the extraterrestrial visitors as soon as they appear.

Chapter 716 Plan

"According to you, the reason those guys can keep resurrecting is because they didn't come to this world in their original form?" Whitebeard immediately said after Reina returned to the Moby Dick and told Whitebeard what he had seen and heard.

“Very likely! What I saw in their tent before might be what they used to create these bodies!” Reina nodded and said, “Using some kind of technology we don’t know, they can continuously create the bodies of these standardized soldiers, and then their souls descend into those bodies, turning them into warriors who will never truly die!”

“The way you put it… it’s a bit like Germa’s clones!” Marco stroked his chin and said, “But don’t they also have strong individuals? Are the bodies of these strong individuals created separately?”

"Leaving aside how they created their bodies, our previous speculation that their arrival was prevented by our world is likely incomplete. Perhaps their inability to create more powerful bodies is one of the reasons why powerful beings like them cannot descend!" Reina nodded and said.

"Anyway, this might be good news for us, right?" Lakyo smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better for us if we had more constraints on them?"

“But we still need to figure it out, otherwise we won’t know when they will send even more powerful beings!” Reina said with a frown. “Only by figuring out the conditions for their arrival can we accurately know the current progress of their invasion!”

“How about… we try a surprise attack tonight? Reina, you can work with us from the inside and take down their central tent, then we’ll know?” Vista suggested.

Reina shook his head and said, "It's difficult. If I show up, they will likely know that I can impersonate one of their people, which will cause a lot of trouble for future operations."

"Then what should we do? Without someone working from the inside... we probably won't be able to steal it, right? After all, the moment they find us, they'll destroy the stuff!" Sachi said, frowning.

"How about... we try a different approach?" Ace suddenly suggested. "Every time we show up, they immediately send reinforcements, right? Why don't we deliberately show up to lure away their strongest fighters, and then send someone to launch a sneak attack?"

Reina shook his head and said, "The enemy probably already knows our combat strength ratio! And I suspect that the reason their support is so fast is because they can create suitable bodies at any time! For example, on our side, they have about ten experts above level 30 who are stationed there long-term. Once we increase our forces, they will create new bodies and send their planet's experts to support us as quickly as possible!"

“Very likely! That means they don’t actually reach their limit when they descend, but leave themselves some leeway! The closer we get to the end, the more difficult it might become! Because they are likely to have a continuous stream of reinforcements! Unless we can destroy their body-making machines!” Marco nodded and said.

“Brother, we might need someone else’s help this time!” Reina sighed and said.

"Have you thought of any ideas?" Whitebeard asked Reina.

In Whitebeard's opinion, this was a really difficult task. That kind of machine must be extremely important to extraterrestrial visitors. They had taken the island from them more than once, but there had never been any news about that kind of machine.

Not only them, he was certain that none of the other forces in Beihai knew about this news either.

“A Devil Fruit user!” Reina said softly.

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Reina in surprise.

"Our strength and theirs are both on full display, but we have one uncertain factor: Devil Fruits! There are countless Devil Fruit abilities, and nobody knows if any of them will be of any use!" Reina explained with a smile. "As far as I can think of right now, Charlotte Brûlée of the Big Mom Pirates might be able to help us!"

"You mean... the Mirror-Mirror Fruit user?" Marco was taken aback, then suddenly realized and said, "But do they have mirrors over there?"

“It’s precisely because it’s uncertain that I say it’s possible!” Reina shook his head and continued, “Besides Brûlée, Bruno, one of the World Government’s CP9 members, should also be able to help!”

"CP9? What abilities does he possess?" Lakshmi asked in surprise.
