Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

After calming Brin down, Bryce began searching in the mirrors around her.

"Huh~?"

Suddenly, Brûlée stopped walking.

"What's wrong?" Brin asked in surprise.

She didn't see any mirrors around, so Brulee's sudden stop startled her.

"Something's up!" Brûlée immediately crouched down. On the ground was a very small shard of broken mirror.

“This is…” Pudding asked curiously.

Brulee smiled slightly and said, "Hahaha... I really didn't expect to have such a gain! It must be because they knew my abilities that they deliberately broke the mirror in an important place. Unfortunately, they didn't clean it up properly, and a small piece of mirror remains! They don't know that even from such a small fragment, I can overhear their conversation."

"Oh? Is anyone talking around there now?" Pudding asked, surprised, then delighted.

“Of course!” Bry nodded, then put a hand on Bryn’s shoulder. Then she heard several people talking, and she immediately recognized Reina’s voice.

"Ace, Katakuri and the others have left, right?" Reina, sitting in the main seat, asked Ace, who had just entered.

“Of course!” Ace nodded and replied, “As expected of Katakuri, he almost saw through us! They actually thought they could get real information from us, how naive! They already lost out by taking away that luck power, and they still want information?”

"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore!" Reina waved his hand and said.

At the same time, Reina glanced at Ace with a subtle look in his eyes.

Ace glanced behind Reina, where there should have been a mirror, but it was gone. However, he knew that Reina had deliberately set a trap there, so he nodded subtly to indicate that he understood.

In the mirror world, the two sisters, Bray and Pudding, who were eavesdropping, exchanged a glance after hearing Ace's words, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Unexpectedly, the information Reina had given them earlier was not the real information.

"By the way, Reina, has the doctor started his research? What have they come up with?" Marco's voice came from inside the mirror. Upon hearing this, Brulee and Pudding immediately perked up and continued listening.

“I don’t know!” Reina shook his head and said, “What I told Katakuri before was all true, but I concealed an important piece of information! So that machine isn’t actually that useful to us! But it’s still good to have it, at least it confirms our suspicions, otherwise those extraterrestrial visitors wouldn’t have reacted so strongly!”

Chapter 729 Framed

Just as Bryn and Bryn were eavesdropping on Reina and the others' conversation, they suddenly heard the sound of the room door being opened, and knew that someone else must have come in.

"First mate, the doctor asked me to inform you that the research over there may not be possible!" At this moment, a voice that sounded somewhat unfamiliar to them rang out.

"Why?" Reina asked in surprise.

“That extraterrestrial visitor must have been protected, so when we disassembled it, its internal self-destruct mechanism must have been activated. Although it looks intact on the outside, it’s completely useless inside!” came the unfamiliar voice from Brulee and Brin.

"Damn it, we paid such a high price and got nothing in return!" Ace said angrily.

“There’s nothing we can do. What’s done is done, so there’s not much point in talking about it anymore. It seems that the information we got last time was incomplete, otherwise this wouldn’t have happened!” Reina shook his head and said.

Brin and Brûlée, who were eavesdropping, looked at each other. Although they were very surprised, they also saw joy in each other's eyes.

"First mate, do you think the extraterrestrials are really using that machine to continuously produce soldiers?" At that moment, Fire Fist Ace said something that horrified them.

“There shouldn’t be any mistake. Germa can also create androids, right? Although they’re not as powerful as the extraterrestrials, we’ve seen these massive machines when we sneaked into Germa’s lab, haven’t we? Now that the machine’s interior is destroyed, let’s have the Doctor dismantle it! We might get some unexpected results! Alright, let’s go! Let’s go check out the lab too!” Reina said, giving the others a wink before leaving the room first.

As Ace and Marco left, they were still muttering curses, seemingly very dissatisfied with the news.

“Bree… what do we do now? Do we still have to go find that guy named Frank?” Brin asked, looking at Bree.

“No, we’ll go back immediately, tell Katakuri the news, and let him make the decision!” Brûlée shook her head and said.

“Okay!” Pudding nodded in reply.

She also felt that they now possessed more information than that Frank guy knew.

But they didn't know that the last person to come in and report was Frank himself.

Meanwhile, Reina and the others did not expect that Katakuri would set his sights on Frank, but this time their plan inadvertently allowed Frank to escape a disaster.

After leaving the room, Reina chuckled and said, "I didn't realize you guys' acting skills were getting better and better!"

"That's a must, otherwise, if we played the werewolf game, wouldn't we be tortured to death?" Ace replied with a loud laugh.

"Wolf Killer" is a new game that Reina created after arriving in North Sea. It is also a type of board game, but unlike Monopoly, it is a game that tests one's intelligence and observation skills.

After Reina taught everyone, it immediately became popular within the Whitebeard Pirates, and now it even seems to be spreading to the whole world.

However, people are already quite used to Reina's ability to create games, after all, whether it was Monopoly back then or Werewolf now, they were all created by Reina.

"First mate, do you think they'll really fall for it?" Ace asked Reina hesitantly after laughing.

“Of course, I sensed the fruit energy emanating from that mirror. This is an ability I gained after absorbing a burst of luck this time. Although the ability is still very weak, it was enough for me to sense it at such a close distance! Moreover, the other party kept the mirror world connected to our world in order to eavesdrop on our conversation. If I still couldn't detect it, I would be an idiot!” Reina said with a smile.

"It seems the power of destiny is really important! It's such a waste that Big Mom and the others absorbed so much of it!" Marco sighed and shook his head, saying, "But we've gained quite a bit this time! At least we can confirm many of our previous guesses!"

“Let’s go, let’s go see the doctor first and see if his work is progressing!” Reina said with a light laugh.

"I doubt the Doctor has time to deal with us right now. I just came from the lab and he was complaining to Dad that the First Mate's dismantling methods were too violent, damaging many parts. Now he can only try to repair them!" Frank replied with a smile.

What he said in the room earlier was obviously a lie, intended to deceive Brulee, who was listening.

However, they had no idea that Pudding was also in the Mirror World and had designs on Frank. If they succeeded, many of the Whitebeard Pirates' secrets would be leaked. After all, Frank was the Grand Steward of Crescent Moon Island, and the secrets of Crescent Moon Island alone would be enough to make Big Mom happy!

The group soon arrived at the laboratory and saw Whitebeard coming out.

"Dad, how's the Doctor doing?" Marco immediately stepped forward and asked.

"Gurararara... The progress is not bad, but you guys should not disturb him, especially Reina. If you go in now, you'll probably get nagged by the Doctor!" Whitebeard said with a smile.

"Then I'd better not go in!" Reina replied with a smile.

"Yes! If you have time, go to Germa. The doctor said that with their help, the research will be much faster!" Whitebeard said, looking at Reiner.

"Germa?" Reina was taken aback. They had mentioned Germa earlier only to amuse them, since Big Mom would definitely not let Germa off the hook after overhearing such news, thus preventing them from causing trouble for them.

Although the Whitebeard Pirates and Germa were considered ordinary allies, they didn't care about Germa's life or death.

“That’s right. The doctor said that this machine and Germa’s android technology must have similarities. With their help, we can save a lot of time. However, if they can’t be loyal to us… then we can’t let them leave afterwards!” Whitebeard nodded and said.

As a great pirate, Whitebeard knew this: as their core secret, it was impossible to share it with Germa unless Germa submitted.

However, as one of the major powers in the North Blue, Germa is quite strong, and they would not submit to the Whitebeard Pirates for no reason.

Chapter 730 Invitation

Whitebeard's words clearly stunned Reina and the others.

It's too much of a coincidence that they just schemed against Germa and now they're inviting them again.

Moreover, Reina knew without a doubt that the Big Mom Pirates would launch some actions against Germa.

“Wait…can we take advantage of this opportunity?” Lakyo suddenly spoke up from the side.

"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Ace asked, still somewhat puzzled.

"After our Xu family's propaganda, the Big Mom Pirates will definitely not let Germa go. They certainly want to subdue Germa, and if they can't, they'd rather destroy them than let them go!" Laco said with a smile. "And our goal is also to subdue... and before Big Mom and the others even make a move, we'll..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood what he meant.

Reina and Whitebeard exchanged a glance, then Whitebeard nodded to Reina and said, "Give it a try! But don't go too far. At most, we'll just leave it to them and let them do it!"

The old Whitebeard would never have agreed to use this method to subdue others; he always preferred to conquer others with his charm.

But now that I'm getting older, I know that there are many things I can no longer do as I used to.

Reina smiled and said, "Don't worry, big brother, we're not the Big Mom Pirates!"

Whitebeard nodded and then ignored the matter. He only did what interested him, and apart from fighting, everyone let Whitebeard do whatever he wanted.

After Whitebeard left, Reina didn't go to the lab either; he wouldn't risk getting into trouble at that moment.

After parting ways with Whitebeard, Reina began to deploy his forces. On one hand, he was to monitor the Big Mom Pirates, and on the other hand, he sent people to Germa to invite them to join the Whitebeard Pirates.

That day, while Reina was sparring with Ace, Frank sent someone to report that Vinsmoke Judge, the chieftain of Germa, had come to visit.

"Hehe... After waiting for so many days, they've finally arrived. It seems they still don't know anything!" Reina said with a chuckle.

"Why didn't the first mate wait until after the Big Mom operation to go to Germa? That way, they would be more likely to agree!" Ace asked, puzzled.

“No, Big Mom won’t give us that chance!” Reina shook his head and said, “If Big Mom comes after them, they only have two choices: submit or die! And we have no room to intervene, since Big Mom isn’t targeting us!”

"Huh? If we go to them now, will they agree?" Ace asked, puzzled.

“Of course not! The fact that they came so easily proves they know nothing!” Reina said with a smile. “But even if they don’t submit to us, it doesn’t matter! We can take this opportunity to give them a chance, a chance to ask us for help whenever they encounter danger!”

"Huh?" Ace looked at Reina, puzzled, and asked, "What does this mean?"

"Hahaha... Let's go, you'll see!" Reina said with a loud laugh.

Soon, when Reina and Ace arrived at the conference room, Marco and Frank were already there chatting with the Vinsmoke family.

"Hahaha... Chief Gaji, it's been a long time!" Reina greeted warmly as he entered the conference room.

"Vice Captain Reina, it has indeed been a long time. We really owe you all the credit for the huge incident in the North Sea. Otherwise, the entire North Sea would probably have fallen." Judge said with a smile.

His dream was to restore the Vinsmoke family to its former glory. You must know that the Vinsmoke family was once the royal family of the North Sea, and the entire North Sea was under their rule.

"I invited Chief Judge here today mainly for one thing!" Reina found a seat and said directly.

"I am all ears!" Judge replied respectfully.

Although they are allies with the Whitebeard Pirates on the surface, they all know in their hearts that they are allies when there is no conflict of interest, but once something happens, neither side will hold back.

"I hope your Germa Group can join our Whitebeard Pirates!" Reina didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"What?" Judge was stunned, looking at Reina in disbelief, then asked with a grim expression, "What do you mean by that, First Mate? Does the Whitebeard Pirates intend to annex us?"

As soon as Judge finished speaking, his children, who had been sitting there, also put away their relaxed smiles and became serious.

Although they were very confident in themselves, facing a behemoth like the Whitebeard Pirates, they, a few people, really had no chance of escaping unscathed.

Judge was filled with regret. He should not have been so careless as to come to the Whitebeard Pirates' territory with just a few of them.

Seeing that the other party was nervous, Reina chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "Chief Judge, don't be nervous! Our Whitebeard Pirates are not the kind of pirate crew that uses such petty tricks! Even if we wanted to annex you, we would only launch a fair and square battle, not resort to such underhanded methods!"

"Phew~" Judge breathed a sigh of relief. He still believed what they said. The Whitebeard Pirates had a great reputation, and with their strength, they really didn't need such petty tricks to deal with the Germa Group.

"So what exactly does the First Mate mean?" Judge asked Reina, somewhat puzzled.

If it wasn't about annexing them, why would he say such a thing? Getting them to join... that's clearly impossible! He would agree without hesitation to an alliance or cooperation, but joining is absolutely out of the question.

"It's very simple, it means exactly what it says! The reason I invited Chief Judge here is to invite you to join the Whitebeard Pirates. If you join us, Chief Judge can still lead the Germa Group, but you will be essentially a pirate crew under our command! Of course, it's up to you whether you agree or not! But... I'd like to give you a piece of advice: if you miss this opportunity, the conditions won't be as good next time you want to join!" Reina said with a smile.
