Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Chapter 766 Sabo's Inquiry

While everyone was wondering how much BIGMOM had lost, the extraterrestrial visitors chose another direction. This time, it wasn't a major power, but the territory of a group of smaller powers, which were also silently surrounded and wiped out by the extraterrestrial visitors.

For a time, no one paid attention to what was happening in the navy, because everyone's attention was now drawn to the extraterrestrial visitors.

"If we don't know how they did it, we have no chance against them!" Reina said with a grim expression at the Whitebeard Pirates' base.

No single force could stand against those extraterrestrial visitors alone. Only when they help each other and restrain those extraterrestrial visitors would they have a chance to win.

But now, the other side has used some unknown means to completely isolate their aura during the attack, making it impossible for them to unite.

If they are just a disorganized bunch, then Beihai is simply not defensible.

Just when everyone was feeling insecure, the Navy suddenly issued a summons, inviting representatives from all major powers to the Navy's base to discuss how to defend against a sneak attack from extraterrestrial visitors.

The Whitebeard Pirates were represented by Reina, but this time he didn't go alone; he went with Sabo, the Revolutionary Army's second-in-command.

The Revolutionary Army was also invited by the Navy. Although the major powers were hostile to each other, they all had a common enemy in the North Sea, and for the sake of this enemy, they could temporarily shake hands and make peace.

When Reyna brought Sabo and Ace to the naval base, they indeed found Garp there.

Now he and Sengoku will be stationed in the North Sea for an extended period.

"Hahaha... From now on, you can fight alongside Grandpa!" Garp patted Ace and Sabo on the shoulders and said with a big laugh.

The Navy has decided to reorganize the North Sea into a special region where there will be no distinctions based on status. Everyone in the North Sea region will be a comrade-in-arms, fighting together against the extraterrestrial invaders. Anyone who dares to attack a comrade in the North Sea will be hunted down by all forces.

Of course, these are just the navy's ideas, and it's still uncertain whether the other forces will agree in the end.

However, it is already quite remarkable that the Navy was able to make such a decision.

At least Sakazuki was very unhappy.

However, under pressure from the World Government and with the Navy having lost its voice in the North Sea, he had no choice but to agree to the plan.

Furthermore, in order to prevent meritorious personnel like Sengoku and Garp from interfering with him at Marine Headquarters, he directly packaged Sengoku and Garp together and sent them to the North Blue.

In any case, Beihai is like a chicken rib now, tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away!

He decided to treat that place as a place of exile and send all the naval officers he disliked there.

That's why the Navy has now summoned everyone.

After learning about the Navy's plans from Garp, Reina and Sabo fell into deep thought, while Ace was overjoyed, catching up with his grandfather. However, the two soon started arguing about something and started fighting. Ace was naturally the one who was completely suppressed, getting beaten up by Garp until he was covered in bumps, but he was still enjoying it.

"Uncle Reina, what do you think of the Navy's proposal?" Sabo asked Reina, who was standing beside him.

"Hehe... The Navy isn't confident either, which is why they sent old man Garp to sound us out! If we object, their plan will be difficult to carry out!" Reina said with a slight smirk.

Sabo nodded thoughtfully and asked, "So, would you agree?"

“Don’t rush into this. We need to know what the Navy will gain and what we will gain if we proceed according to their wishes!” Reina stroked his chin and said, “If both sides benefit, then there’s no problem. But if only the Navy benefits, why should I agree?”

“But wouldn’t it be better for us to fight off extraterrestrials if we really split into factions?” Sabo asked, frowning.

“That’s true! But do you really think it’s possible? Impossible!” Reina shook his head and said, “Even if we all agree, if a small pirate crew provokes Big Mom, do you think Big Mom will let them off the hook?”

“This…” Sabo hesitated.

Let alone Big Mom, even members of these major powers would probably not tolerate such a thing happening. An ordinary pirate trying to challenge Whitebeard—would the Whitebeard Pirates just stand by and watch? Absolutely not!

"Since everyone knows they can't comply, why did the Navy still bring it up?" Sabo asked, somewhat dissatisfied.

He originally thought the navy was really serious about implementing this, which would surely improve the situation in the North Sea.

“Fool, besides major powers like us, the majority of people in the North Sea are actually ordinary people! And once we major powers pass this decision, they have to abide by it!” Reina hesitated for a moment and said, “That’s the concept of hierarchy!”

Sabo remained silent.

What were they, the revolutionary army, fighting for? Wasn't it to eliminate this hierarchical mentality?

Reina patted Sabo on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I know your ideals, but achieving equality for everyone is almost impossible! But we can't give up just because it's impossible. Every little thing you do makes the world a better place! When you overthrow the World Government and establish your own regime, you'll become dragons! And then there will be warriors like you who will come to defeat you!"

"Does this mean we're just going to keep going on indefinitely?" Sabo said, unwilling to accept it.

“How could it be an infinite loop?” Reina said with a smile. “Isn’t your ideology more advanced than the World Government’s? Have you patched up more loopholes? But when you also become evil dragons, even more loopholes will appear, and the next batch of demon-slaying heroes will fill in these loopholes! At that point, our system will become more and more perfect! Isn’t that right? The common people will also live better lives because the system is more perfect! Compared to the people a thousand years ago, everyone’s life should be much better now, right? That’s progress!”

Sabo's eyes lit up, and he looked at Reina with some delight, saying, "So... what we're doing now is actually paving a new path for future generations?"

“That’s right!” Reina nodded and said, “No one can say that the laws they make are perfect. Laws definitely need to evolve with the world! And class can never be completely eliminated! Just like this world, there is a bright side and a dark side! As long as it can be controlled, that’s fine!”

Chapter 767 The Navy's Objectives

Along the way, on the way to the conference room prepared by the Navy, Sabo stayed by Reina's side, asking him about the things he had never heard before.

Because he felt it made a lot of sense, and it was something he should strive to do in the future.

So he wanted to know more about this, but Reina's words were rather fragmented, because he was just saying whatever came to mind.

Sabo had no doubts, because the whole world knew that Reina's Sharingan had the ability to foresee the future. Perhaps Reina saw something and knew what would be better for the future.

The two chatted until everyone had arrived, at which point they turned their attention to Sengoku.

"First of all, thank you all very much for coming!" Zhan Guo looked at the people sitting in the conference room. Apart from some small and medium-sized forces, none of the major forces had their leaders come in person.

For example, the Whitebeard Pirates sent their vice-captain Reina and second division commander Portgas D. Ace, while the Revolutionary Army sent their second-in-command, Chief of Staff Sabo.

They were still giving the Navy face. For example, the Big Mom Pirates didn't send their vice-captain Katakuri, or even their eldest son Perospero. Instead, they sent their scribe Charlotte Mont-d'Or and Charlotte Cracker, one of the three Sweet Commanders and the Minister of Biscuits.

Kaido's Beasts Pirates didn't even send one of the Three Disasters; instead, they sent two siblings from the Flying Six, Ulti and Page One.

"If you navy have anything to say, just say it. Everyone's time is precious, and we don't have time to listen to your nonsense!" The hot-tempered Montor replied before Sengoku could even speak.

The Big Mom Pirates had just been attacked by extraterrestrials, and most of the territory they had painstakingly seized from the Navy had been taken away by the extraterrestrials. It was perfectly normal for them to be in chaos right now.

However, Montorzi launched the first attack to prevent the navy from demanding the return of their territory.

"Alright, then I won't waste any more words! I called everyone here today to inform you of something: from now on, the affairs of the Navy's North Sea branch will be managed by the two of us old guys!" Sengoku said with a smile.

Although this was something everyone already knew, the fact that Sengoku and Garp would be in charge of the North Blue still made many people who understood their strength frown.

"You sent us all this way just for something so trivial?" Montor asked Sengoku with a grim expression.

If it were really just an announcement, the Navy could simply contact Newsbird; there was absolutely no need to gather people from all the factions together.

Sengoku smiled and said, "There's another matter. Our navy has decided that from now on, the North Blue will be dedicated to fighting extraterrestrial visitors. There will be no distinction between forces here. Whether you're a navy officer or a pirate, you'll all be comrades-in-arms. However, once you leave the North Blue area, our navy will still prioritize capturing you pirates!"

Sengoku's words immediately stunned everyone. Apart from Reina and a few others who already knew, everyone began to whisper among themselves.

"Sengoku, what do you mean by that? Is it just your personal decision, or a joint decision between your Navy and the World Government?" Page One of the Beasts Pirates sensed something was amiss and asked directly.

"Naturally, it's a joint decision by the nation's government and navy!" Sengoku glanced at the other party and replied.

Although he was very unwilling, as this was tantamount to separating the North Sea from the world, it was the World Government's decision. Not to mention him, even Fleet Admiral Sakazuki had opposed it countless times, but to no avail.

"Ridiculous! You don't inform reporters or the whole world about this. You think you can make us believe you just by saying it?"

"That's right, what exactly is your navy planning?"

"What kind of schemes are you planning to pull now? Is this how you, the strategist of the Buddhist Warring States period, got your reputation as a master strategist?"

Soon, the pirates below started arguing, all directed at the Navy.

As for Reina and the others, they just watched without saying a word.

Like Reina and his crew, the members of the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates remained silent, waiting to see the Navy's reaction. If the Navy couldn't even handle this small matter, there was no need for them to continue negotiating with the Navy.

If the navy thinks they can send them to suppress those smaller forces, they're mistaken.

As expected, seeing that Reina and the others remained silent, Sengoku slammed his hand on the table and said, "Quiet! What's all the noise about? This is a naval base, not a marketplace!"

"I'm informing you about this first so you can be mentally prepared, since we'll be comrades fighting side by side from now on! In three days, the World Government will announce this in Mary Geoise, designating the North Blue as a special administrative region specifically to defend against invading extraterrestrial visitors! You're all probably aware of what's been happening with the Big Mom Pirates lately, right? If we can't unite, that's what will happen to us!" Sengoku said slowly after everyone quieted down.

At this moment, Reina and the others also looked at the Big Mom Pirates. They were also very curious about what had happened. Even if the extraterrestrial visitors were powerful, Reina certainly did not believe that they did not even have a chance to ask for help.

It's important to know that right next to the Big Mom Pirates' base is their ally, the Beasts Pirates.

If they were to unite two Yonko-level pirate crews and still be defeated so badly, then they would have to reassess the strength of the outsiders.

So almost everyone wanted to know what exactly happened at the Big Mom Pirates' base that night.

Mondor and Cracker looked grim. Sengoku didn't want to make the matter public, not because they had any unspeakable difficulties, but simply because they didn't want to make it public.

Of the Four Emperors, only they have encountered attacks from enemies. If this were to be made public now, wouldn't they be at a disadvantage?

But with so many people watching them, if they didn't say anything, they probably wouldn't make it through. So at this moment, Meng Erduo regretted it immensely; they shouldn't have come to the appointment.

"Now doesn't seem like the time to talk about this, does it? Sengoku... You said the North Sea is not divided into factions, but it seems like your navy can't decide such a thing, can it?" Cracker said with a glint in his eye.

He wanted to draw everyone's attention back to the Navy, so that there would be no need for explanation.

Before Sengoku could answer, Reina chuckled and said, "Is there some secret you can't let others know? Can't you tell us?"

"Hmph, if you want to know, why don't you go and face it yourselves?" Cracker said angrily, having long been dissatisfied with Reina.

"Kid, you're pretty brave!" Reina said, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

Chapter 768 The Warring States Plan

"Alright, everyone, I invited you here not to watch you argue!" Although Sengoku was satisfied with Reina's assertiveness, he had to make Reina stop, because if they started arguing, he would not be able to achieve his goal today.

“But I’m more interested in their explanations than yours!” Reina said, still staring at Mondor, completely ignoring Sengoku.

Sengoku's face darkened. He hadn't expected Reina to be so disrespectful, but he couldn't afford to fall out with Reina now. If the Whitebeard Pirates took the lead in opposing, the situation in the North Blue would be completely lost. Even with statements from the World Government and the Navy, it would become a one-sided declaration.

Upon hearing Reiner's words, Mont-d'Or's face darkened immediately. He said, "What? Does the Whitebeard Pirates want this information? No problem, but there's always a price to pay!"

Reina chuckled, looked at Sengoku, and whispered in a voice only Sengoku could hear, "Then let's see how capable your Navy is! As long as you can give me this information, then the Whitebeard Pirates will not object to your proposal!"

Reina didn't say he agreed, he just said he didn't disagree.

Even so, it can still be considered as supporting the Warring States period.

After all, compared to the overall situation in the North Blue, this piece of intelligence was nothing. Reina believed that the Navy had countless ways to obtain intelligence from the Big Mom Pirates.

Sure enough, upon hearing Reina's words, Sengoku nodded to Reina without leaving a trace.

Seeing this, Reina chuckled, stood up, and prepared to leave with Ace.

"Hey... what do you mean?" Cracker asked with a displeased look.

"My business is already sorted out, why am I still here? Are you going to feed me?" Reina rolled his eyes and replied.
