Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

As Fleet Admiral, Sakazuki originally did not want to use Sengoku and Garp, but now the Navy is short-handed and has to rely on them to take charge of the North Blue. After all, compared with the North Blue, capturing the Straw Hat crew is more important to Sakazuki.

Moreover, since Straw Hat Luffy is Garp's grandson, he was even less willing to let Garp get involved.

Once he captures Straw Hat Luffy, his prestige in the Navy will be unmatched, and he won't have to worry about Sengoku and Garp being difficult to manage.

They had no idea where the Straw Hat crew, who had returned from the final island, were now. Just like the Roger Pirates back then, they had mysteriously disappeared.

At the same time, the territory owned by the North Sea Navy has shrunk by more than one-third, most of which has been taken away by the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates.

Especially Kaido's Beasts Pirates, who originally didn't value the North Blue and therefore had a small territory, have finally earned their place among the Four Emperors after seizing some of the Navy's territory.

However, he also knew that the opportunity to continue seizing naval territory was probably gone, because the navy would not allow them to continue like this, otherwise the North Sea would become the next New World.

As for the extraterrestrial visitors, they seemed to know that the group was fighting amongst themselves, and remained quite quiet during this time, not disturbing their battle.

After inspecting the area for several days, Reina finally couldn't hold back any longer and headed towards the naval base.

If the Navy really doesn't want the North Blue anymore, then the Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't mind coming over and taking a share.

Reina's mission this time still involved several members of the Vinsmoke family, while the captains stayed behind and did not travel with Reina.

The extraterrestrial visitors had suddenly become more docile these past few days, which made him sense something was amiss. Leaving the team leaders here would be a better precaution.

When Reina and his group arrived at the original naval base, they found it had become a complete mess.

Countless forces followed behind the Big Mom Pirates, shattering the defenses that the Navy had painstakingly built. This was no longer a matter of seizing territory, but of destruction.

Perhaps this is the nature of pirates; they don't know how to build, they only know how to destroy.

Reina ignored the pirates along the way and led the Vinsmoke family directly towards the location of the Big Mom Pirates. There was no need for them to waste time here.

If Big Mom accidentally loses her mind and wipes out the Navy, he will have to step in to stop her.

If the Navy has been driven out of the North Blue, it will be too difficult for them to defend it. Most importantly, the Whitebeard Pirates didn't get a share of the spoils this time.

Therefore, the navy must not be excluded.

The Navy's primary targets for reclaiming territory are the scattered forces, followed by the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates—both outcomes that the Whitebeard Pirates would prefer.

That's why Reina is here.

Soon, they arrived at the place where Big Mom and the Navy were fighting. Although the Navy had a large number of people, they were completely suppressed by the Big Mom Pirates. If Big Mom hadn't not been unwilling to kill them all, the Navy would probably have been defeated by now.

Big Mom knew that she couldn't wipe out the Navy right now, but she had already embarked on a path, and she had no idea how much territory the Navy had taken. All she knew was to join forces with Kaido and take advantage of the opportunity to expand rapidly.

They fought all the way to the naval base before realizing that the enemy had almost driven the navy out of the North Sea.

However, at this point, she couldn't just stop whenever she wanted, so she had to slow down her offensive and wait for the navy's reinforcements to arrive. She would then see what the other side meant before making any further plans.

However, before she could receive reinforcements from the Navy, the Navy's defeat was already quite obvious. Apart from her and the Beast Pirates, all the other pirates who saw an opportunity to take advantage of the situation flocked to the Navy, causing its forces to collapse rapidly.

"Mom, we can't keep fighting!" Katakuri had already seen through the situation, so he quickly said to Big Mom.

If they were to actually wipe out the navy, the navy's retaliation would be terrifying.

Big Mom naturally understood, so after Katakuri spoke, Big Mom pretended to think and then gave the order to retreat.

But just then, naval reinforcements finally arrived.

"You think you can just retreat after killing our people? Charlotte Linlin! Kaido! Don't you guys have any respect for the Navy?" From the direction of the Calm Belt, more than a dozen Navy warships were rapidly approaching. Sengoku, standing at the bow of one of the ships, roared at the retreating Big Mom Pirates.

Chapter 746 Momentum

The arrival of the naval reinforcements led by Sengoku greatly boosted the morale of the resisting navy.

However, Big Mom was not flustered. The arrival of the enemy was just in time. She took advantage of the battlefield to redefine the territory, so as not to have to be on guard against the Navy's counterattack at any time.

"Kaido... Big Mom!" When Sengoku and Garp disembarked from the warship and saw the Marines lying on the ground, they were both furious. Sengoku, with a grim face, said, "It seems you're planning to wage a full-scale war against us?"

"Hehehehe... Sengoku, I really didn't expect to see you and Garp here! Is your Navy short of manpower? Sending two old veterans like you here?" Kaido laughed loudly upon seeing the two. "Or... do you simply lack the manpower to deal with the North Blue? Garp... your grandson really knows how to cause you trouble! Hehehehe..."

Kaido's words caused both Sengoku and Garp to change their expressions.

Even the Straw Hat crew only learned about their return from the final island before they set off, which shows the extent of the Navy and the World Government's information blackout. However, Kaido's words just now definitely contained this information.

So Sengoku and Garp, who were just about to make a move, stopped and said, "It seems you really do know something! But it doesn't matter, even if you wanted to do something now, you couldn't. You gave up on the New World yourselves, didn't you?"

"Hehehehe... That's enough, Linlin. We've got the information we needed. Let's go!" Kaido said, looking at Big Mom.

BIGMOMBIGMOM smiled slightly. She knew that now was not the time to continue fighting the Navy to the death. Moreover, they had obtained the intelligence they needed and the territory they needed. It was perfect.

Now, those guys following behind them can be left behind for the Navy to vent their anger on.

Not far away, Reina was frowning, pondering the conversation between Sengoku and Kaido.

"First mate, what should we do now? It seems they're not planning to fight anymore!" Ichi asked Reina.

Reina nodded and replied, "Yes, Kaido just said that Garp's grandson has caused him trouble again, but as far as I know, besides Ace, the only other grandson of Garp is Luffy!"

“That Straw Hat Boy?” Reiju smiled slightly and said, “He’s quite an amazing guy!”

"Hehe... Now we can be sure that Straw Hat Luffy has caused some big commotion in the New World again, which is why the Navy recalled an admiral! And Big Mom just happened to run into him, which is why this happened!" Reina stroked his chin and said, "Let's go, there's not much point in staying here any longer!"

But just as Reina, Big Mom, and the Beast Pirates were preparing to retreat, a powerful force suddenly appeared from the direction of the extraterrestrial visitors in the distance.

“This powerful energy fluctuation… it’s already above level forty-five!” Reina’s expression changed as he said.

It's obvious that the other side is now displaying its power to intimidate others.

Therefore, upon sensing the opponent's aura, Big Mom, Kaido, and Garp all unanimously released their own auras.

At the same time, from other directions, numerous powerful auras were faintly rising into the air, as if to prove something.

Chapter 747 M. Caesar Courland

The battle, which was about to break out, was unexpectedly interrupted by the powerful visitor from outer space.

However, both the Navy, Big Mom, and Kaido secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as they had no desire to fight each other under these circumstances.

What the navy needs most right now is to consolidate the remaining forces in the North Sea, then build new defensive fortifications, and finally reclaim the territory.

Big Mom and Kaido have already gained the biggest advantage. Now, what they need to do is to throw out a small force that follows them around, eating their fill, and let the Navy vent their anger on them, instead of going up against the Navy themselves and engaging in a war of attrition.

So now that an external factor has interrupted them, it has given them a very suitable reason to leave.

As for Reina, after sensing the aura of the visitors from outer space, he knew that a fight wouldn't happen here today. Moreover, he was also concerned about what Kaido had said about Luffy, and planned to send someone to inquire about what had happened in the New World after returning.

However, just as they were about to leave, Reiju stopped in her tracks.

"That person... looks so familiar!" In a corner, Reiju seemed to spot a familiar figure.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Her unusual behavior naturally caught the attention of Reina and the rest of the Vinsmoke family.

"That person...doesn't he look like Caesar?" Reiju whispered, pointing to the corner where a voice seemed to be quietly leaving.

“Caesar? That Caesar?” Reina was taken aback and asked in surprise, “The M. Caesar Clown who worked with Vegapunk?”

Reiju nodded and said, "That's right. Father once said that Caesar might not be good at other research, but weapons research is his forte. I was thinking that since we're dealing with those extraterrestrial visitors, maybe having his help would make things much easier!"

Upon hearing this, Reina's eyes lit up, and he nodded, saying, "That's right, let's go, before anyone notices, let's take him back first!"

Upon hearing this, Yuji and the others immediately took action and rushed towards the person they suspected to be Caesar.

They had originally thought they would have a good fight today, but unexpectedly, the battle was interrupted by the extraterrestrial visitor, so they had no choice but to vent their energy on this.

On the other side, Caesar, who had finally managed to escape from the Big Mom Pirates while Big Mom's entire army was on the move, was about to run away in the chaos when he was surrounded by Yonji and his crew.

He had initially used his status as a scientist to join BIGMOM and was indeed valued by BIGMOM at first. However, Caesar continued to use the funds provided by BIGMOM to conduct his own research, and now he is completely unable to satisfy BIGMOM.

He felt that if he couldn't bring BIGMOM some good news, then BIGMOM might take action against him.

That's why he secretly followed the Big Mom Pirates out on their expedition, planning to find an opportunity to escape. Although he would lose his sanctuary again, he could at least save his life, so he didn't care too much.

He just didn't expect that his operation would end before it even began.

"Who are you people? How dare you block my way?" Caesar did not recognize the Vinsmoke family in front of him and thought they were sent by Big Mom, so he decided to try to trick them and see if he could leave successfully.

"Are you that... scientist who specializes in weapons research... Caesar Couran?" Reina slowly walked over and asked.

"Huh?" Caesar thought it was someone who admired him and was about to say something arrogant, but when he turned around and saw Reina, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Red-Eyed Reina!? How... how could it be you?" Caesar's legs went weak. He might not recognize the Vinsmoke family, but if he didn't recognize the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, known as Red-Eyed Reina, then he could truly say that he had died in vain.

"What? Can't I be here? Or rather... is it strange to see me here?" Reina said with a slight smirk.

Caesar suddenly realized that there were two Yonko, Big Mom and Kaido, here, along with the Navy reinforcements. If the battle really continued, then Reina, who was hiding in the shadows, could do a lot.

Thinking he knew Reina's secret, Caesar immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Hehehe... Lord Reina, you must have more important things to do, right? I won't disturb you any longer, I have some things to attend to, so I'll take my leave now!"

"Who said you could leave?" Yonji stood in front of Caesar and asked in a deep voice.

Caesar glanced at Reiner and said, "Lord Reiner, Big Mom and Kaido are just ahead, and the Marines are over there too. They could start fighting at any moment!"

His words were a way of telling Reina that he already knew Reina's goal, but he had no intention of informing on him; he just wanted to leave.

Reina was taken aback, then looked at Caesar strangely before realizing that not everyone could sense the aura released by the powerful extraterrestrial visitor. Therefore, Caesar had no idea that Big Mom and Kaido had already withdrawn their troops and that the Navy would not pursue them.

Seeing that Reina didn't speak, Caesar said anxiously, "Lord Reina, I'm not lying to you. They really are not far ahead, and a fight could break out at any moment. Sengoku and Garp from the Navy have arrived with reinforcements. Knowing the personalities of those two old guys, seeing the Navy suffer such heavy losses, they definitely won't let any pirates present go!"

Reina rolled his eyes, too lazy to waste words with this idiot, and said directly, "You're working for BIGMOM now? Planning to leave her? Why don't you try working for us?"

Caesar's eyes lit up. The Whitebeard Pirates... such a powerful force! If he could latch onto them, wouldn't that be enough for a lifetime? Besides, he hadn't offended the Whitebeard Pirates. He could use the same trick again to get some funds for his own research.

So before Reina could even state his terms, Caesar nodded and said, "Oh? In that case, I'll gladly accept your offer!"

The Vinsmoke family members were also taken aback, not expecting the other party to react this way and surrender so quickly. Although the other party did not have the ability to escape, their surrender so quickly still caught them off guard.

Reina, on the other hand, knew that the other party must have offended BIGMOM in some way, otherwise they would never have fled, nor would they have agreed so readily.

It's quite possible that Caesar saw him as a new refuge, and... the next sucker.

However, Reina will soon let Caesar know that the Whitebeard Pirates are not the same as the Big Mom Pirates, and that he wasn't invited back, but rather... captured!

Chapter 748 Reason

"Huh? Is he that wanted scientist? I remember the Doctor mentioned him!" Laco asked curiously when Reina brought Caesar back.

“That’s right. He and Vinsmoke Judge were both Vegapunk’s colleagues. They have strong professional skills. We just happened to run into them this time, so we brought them back!” Reina nodded and replied, “Moreover, last time he fed that poison gas some kind of Devil Fruit, which caused a lot of news and also caught the doctor’s attention!”

"Should we send him back to Xuan Yue Island?" Vista asked from the side.

The defenses on Xuan Yue Island are not very strong right now. Although it is still difficult to break through Xuan Yue Island's defenses from the outside, it is very easy to do so from the inside.
