Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

“He is a user of the Door-Door Fruit. Anything his hand touches will turn into a door and can be opened. He can open doors anywhere and enter and exit freely, including in the air…” Reina said with a smile.

"Oh? You mean... he can open a door here and then go directly out from the location of the other side's central tent?" Marco's eyes lit up as he asked.

“I don’t know that, because I don’t know his maximum distance! But no matter how far, if we cooperate with the Navy… we definitely won’t have a problem with the number of strong fighters. The Navy can launch a frontal attack to attract the enemy’s attention, while we can use Bruno’s ability to appear directly in the tent. I think that way, the enemy will definitely not be able to react, and our chances of success are very high!” Reina nodded and said.

"So... now we either cooperate with the World Government or with the Big Mom Pirates?" Ace frowned and said.

“These are the abilities I can think of right now that I know can help us. Of course, you can also think about whether you have encountered any special abilities before. If the opponent is just a lone pirate, it will be even more effective for us!” Reina nodded and said.

"So, it's best to have that kind of spatial ability?" Marco stroked his chin, lost in thought. He vaguely felt that he had seen someone with spatial abilities before, but he couldn't quite remember them.

"That's right!"

At that moment, Ace and Marco suddenly said, "That pirate who allied with Straw Hat Luffy seems to have the ability to teleport!"

Upon hearing their words, Reina was slightly taken aback, but then he knew who they were talking about.

"You're talking about Trafalgar Law, the user of the Op-Op Fruit, right?" Reina said with a smile.

“That’s right. I witnessed his abilities in Wano Country. As long as it’s within a certain range, he can teleport people or any object at will!” Marco nodded and said.

“No!” Reina shook his head and said, “At least he can’t teleport me! The Haki on my body will block his ability. Once he tries to use his ability on me, it will be useless!”

Chapter 717 Seeking Cooperation

Ultimately, after discussions, the Whitebeard Pirates decided to cooperate with CP9's Bruno, as his abilities were the most convenient and safest option.

However, cooperating with the world government is no simple matter.

First, they gained the initiative, meaning they couldn't go to the World Government; the World Government had to come to them first, and then they would take the opportunity to make their demands.

However, under normal circumstances, the World Government would rarely seek them out unless they possessed something the World Government needed. Even then, the World Government would generally not cooperate with the Whitebeard Pirates, because based on past experience, the Whitebeard Pirates treated them very poorly, and they were too lazy to try and win them over.

Therefore, if you want to attract the attention of the world government, you have to come up with something.

"This is a bit of a problem! We've never cooperated with the World Government before, and we don't have any suitable channels at all!" After several attempts, Reina and the captains were unable to contact anyone from the World Government.

"How about we go directly to the Five Elders to negotiate, or bring back that CP9 member?" Laco scratched his head in annoyance and said.

"Never mind, there's no rush for now. How long until the Doctor arrives? Also, have you contacted the people on Germal's side?" Reina shook his head and said.

“The Doctor is already on his way. With Ace going, there won’t be any problems. But are you sure you want Germa’s people involved this time?” Marco asked, frowning.

They hadn't even notified the Revolutionary Army, but Reina was planning to involve Germa's forces, which puzzled him greatly.

“Let’s not rush things for now. We’ll talk about everything when the Doctor arrives!” Reina shook his head and said, “Besides, you should know that Germa has the technology to create clones, which is very likely similar to the technology of the extraterrestrials. So, just in case, let them come with us. Even if we can’t bring the machines back, with them around, they might be able to figure something out!”

“Alright then! You decide!” Marco shrugged and replied, “Maybe we can have them try contacting the World Government, which would save us the trouble of wasting our energy here!”

“If the Doctor is confident he can handle it, we won’t need to ask Germa!” Reina said with a smile. “So we can’t rely entirely on others for the World Government’s side!”

A few days later, Ace brought Dr. Asie to the North Sea. As for the defense of Crescent Moon Island, the task was handed over to Olga and Perona. The two troublemakers were overjoyed to receive such an important mission for the first time on Crescent Moon Island.

However, to prevent them from causing trouble, Ace conveyed Reina's order to them when he went over: they must obey Frank's command. If they failed to do so, Ace would stay behind on Crescent Moon Island and be responsible for its defense.

The two of them naturally made a series of promises to Ace, assuring him that they would absolutely obey Frank's orders.

However, before leaving, Ace gave Frank a summoning scroll, telling him to use it if needed and have Frank deliver the message to him.

Once the doctor arrived in the North Sea, Reina immediately recounted what had happened there.

“What you say makes a lot of sense. Given the technology of their communication equipment, possessing such technology shouldn't be a problem! But there's one crucial point: materials!” Dr. As expected of a professional, he quickly pinpointed the key issue, saying, “They obviously can't produce such a large number of soldiers without materials!”

“But…we haven’t seen them using or transporting anything!” Reina said, frowning.

"Perhaps... their transportation isn't nonexistent, but rather they just haven't been discovered by us! Didn't you see a huge tent? Maybe they were inside there, using some kind of technology to complete the transport!" Dr. Asie speculated.

“So…we still have to go and take a look!” Reina sighed and said.

“That’s right. Without my own confirmation, everything we say is meaningless!” Dr. Asie nodded in reply.

“So…maybe cooperating with BIGMOM would be better! But we can’t be sure if there’s a mirror in their tent!” Reina said, stroking his chin.

"A mirror?" Dr. Asie was taken aback and asked in surprise.

He didn't understand what scouting enemy positions had to do with mirrors, but Reina quickly explained Charlotte Brûlé's abilities to him.

"Hehe...Devil Fruits are really interesting, they even have such strange abilities!" Dr. Asie's eyes lit up as he said.

"By the way, Doctor, do you think it's necessary to involve the Germa people? They have very powerful methods of replicating humans!" Reina asked again at this moment.

"Cloners?" Dr. Asie was taken aback and asked in surprise, "They already have such technology? I wonder how far they've progressed?"

Left with no other choice, Reina had to tell the doctor about Germa again.

"Tsk tsk tsk... It seems that scientist named Judge is quite impressive!" the doctor said with a chuckle after hearing this.

“No way! I heard that technology belongs to Dr. Vegapunk. He was just Dr. Vegapunk’s assistant!” Reina shook his head and said.

"In that case... let's not call him for now! Maybe we can visit his lab later!" the professor said with a strange laugh.

Reina was taken aback, but instantly understood what the doctor meant.

He wanted to first examine the technology of the extraterrestrial visitors, and then, in exchange, examine the technology of Germa. Perhaps he would make some discoveries then.

“Then let’s cooperate with BIGMOM for now! After all, she should agree to let us borrow someone from her, and she’ll definitely get information from Brûlée! But as long as we use some tricks to hide the important information, it’ll be fine!” Reina said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

"It's up to you to decide. I want to go see it in person right now!" the doctor said with a smile.

Although Reina couldn't guarantee that there was a mirror in the extraterrestrial visitor's tent, it didn't matter. He had already made up his mind to cooperate with Big Mom without saying anything. He would let Brulee understand as much as she could, and then he would provoke Big Mom with words, which should achieve his goal.

After devising a plan, Reina intended to execute it immediately, so that very day, he went directly to the location of the Big Mom Pirates.

Chapter 118 Mirror-Mirror Fruit

"Well, you little brat... why do you always ask me to borrow people?" Bigom looked at Reina with suspicion and asked.

"Of course it's something important! Besides, Sister Lingling is someone I can trust. If I borrow someone from you, even if there's any information, it won't be leaked!" Reina said with a smile.

A glint flashed in Big Mom's eyes, and a smile appeared on her face. She said, "Alright, for your sake... Smoothie, you go and take Brûlée with Reina!"

"Well... Sister Lingling, I only lent it to one person!" Reina said, pretending to be in a dilemma.

“Then there’s nothing I can do. Brûlée has good abilities, but her own strength is lacking. She needs Smoothie to accompany her so that I can ensure her safety! She is my precious daughter!” Big Mom said, looking very concerned about Brûlée.

Reina was about to say something, but seeing Bigom's disgusting appearance, he immediately nodded and said, "Alright, since it's Sister Lingling's wish, then I can only reluctantly agree. But I hope both of them can follow my instructions, otherwise... things will be very difficult!"

“Of course! Smoothie, you heard what Reina said, right?” BIGMOM looked at Smoothie and said in a deep voice.

“Yes, Mom!” Smoothie nodded in reply.

Seeing this, Reina didn't waste any words and followed Smoothie to find Brûlée.

Soon after bringing Brûlée and Smoothie back to the Moby Dick, Reyner told Brûlée what she needed to do.

"Huh? The mirror on the small island at the front?" Brulee asked in surprise.

Smoothie, standing nearby, was also taken aback, because even the Big Mom Pirates hadn't thought of this method. By using the Mirror World, they could observe the enemy's movements without being detected.

“That’s right. With your abilities, you should be able to find all the mirrors on the island, right?” Reina asked with a smile.

“If I go to the island myself, there will be no problem!” Brulee nodded in reply.

“Okay, I’ll take you to the island, and then you can take me to the Mirror World!” Reina said softly.

“I’m sorry, Lord Reina!” Smoothie suddenly spoke up at this moment, saying, “While this can indeed monitor the enemy’s movements, we don’t know their language, so trying to obtain intelligence this way is probably not very useful!”

Reina smiled slightly and said, "That's right, but we're not using Miss Brûlée's abilities to investigate the enemy's movements, but to find something we've lost!"

"Something that's gone missing?" Smoothie and Brûlée both looked at Reina in surprise.

Having dealt with extraterrestrial visitors for so long, they had never seen them steal anything. Apart from killing and seizing territory, those extraterrestrial visitors never did anything else.

“That’s right. There’s something very important to us on that island, but the island was lost too quickly, so we couldn’t move it out. Now I hope to use Miss Brûlé’s ability to check if it’s still there. As you know, they can’t do anything but destroy! We don’t dare to attack directly, for fear that they will destroy it. So we can only use Miss Brûlé’s ability to find it and launch a surprise attack. Only then will we have a chance to get it back!” Reina nodded and said.

"I see!" Brulee exclaimed in realization.

“What exactly is it?” Smoothie asked.

Compared to Brûlée's naiveté, Smoothie was much more shrewd, but Reina didn't tell her. Instead, he said, "You'll know when you see it! There's no point in saying too much now!"

Once everything was ready, Reina ordered an attack on the extraterrestrials to cover his, his captains', and Brulee and Smoothie's infiltration into the island.

"Is it ready?" Upon arriving at the island, Reina immediately took out the mirror he had prepared beforehand and asked Brulee.

“Alright, I’ll go in first. You all just need to hold hands. My abilities can be transferred through contact!” Brûlée nodded and led Smoothie into the Mirror World first.

Reina nodded to Marco beside him, then led Vista, Ace, Harta, and the Doctor inside.

Apart from Jozu staying by Whitebeard's side to protect him, all the other captains are here for this mission.

Just in case, Reina left Marco and the other captains outside. This would allow them to command the battle and, if necessary, create enough pressure to draw all the powerful extraterrestrial visitors to the island.

Although it wasn't his first time in the Mirror World, Reina always felt a sense of wonder every time he entered.

"What are you looking for? All the mirrors around this island are here!" Brulee asked Reina after sensing for a moment.

"Can you see what's outside through the mirror?" Reina asked after thinking for a moment.

“Yes, but if you try to see the outside world through the mirror, you might be discovered!” Brûlée nodded and said.

"It's alright, let's look around first. What I'm looking for is in a tent!" Reina said after thinking for a moment.

After all, he wasn't the master of the Mirror World, so there was still a lot he didn't understand about Brûlée's abilities.

Just like Brulee herself, she doesn't need to stand in front of the mirror; she only needs to be in the mirror world to roughly sense the outside world through the mirror.

After quickly searching all the mirrors around, Brulee shook her head and said, "I didn't find any tents here. Maybe the tent you're talking about doesn't have any mirrors inside!"

Reina frowned. The most troublesome thing had happened. He had called Brulee over, because his biggest fear was that there was no mirror in the other person's tent.

"Then can you sense which mirror is closest to the center of the island?" Reina asked after thinking for a moment.

Bry nodded and led Reina to a mirror, saying, "This mirror should be the closest to the center of the island!"

"Can I see outside?" Reina asked.

“Yes, you just need to touch me, and I can open the exit to the mirror world!” Brûlée nodded and said.

“Okay, thank you!” Reina nodded, walked over to Brûlée, and put his hand on her shoulder.

Meanwhile, Smoothie also quietly grabbed Brûlée's other hand; she wouldn't let any opportunity slip by.

Soon, Reina saw the view outside the mirror; it appeared to be a restroom, and there was no one outside.
