Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"It's alright! At least we didn't lose out!" Whitebeard said with a smile. "As for Big Mom and Kaido, they lost even more! Gurarara..." Whitebeard said with a smile.

"So, brother... should we agree to the Navy's proposal to launch a joint attack on the extraterrestrial visitors?" Reina smiled before asking.

"Of course, why wouldn't we agree? This is the perfect time to demonstrate our strength and expand our territory!" Whitebeard said with a smile. "Even with the current strength of these extraterrestrial visitors, they can't stop us without reinforcements!"

"I'm afraid someone might try something funny!" Reina said with some concern.

"Don't worry, either they won't agree, or if they do... I'll make sure they don't dare to play any tricks!" the white-bearded man said confidently.

"Could it be... that Big Brother is planning to go there personally next time?" Reina asked in surprise, taken aback.

“That’s right, I’ll go to the next meeting... After receiving the message from the Navy, I’ll spread the word that I’ll be going in person, and then the leaders of the major powers will also choose to go in person!” Whitebeard nodded and replied.

Regarding this, Reina had no doubt. If Whitebeard had gone there in person, and if any other leader of a power dared to send someone instead of going in person... Reina was sure they wouldn't see the sun rise the next day.

So a few days later, when the Navy extended another invitation, the Whitebeard Pirates were ready to set sail. In particular, when the Moby Dick departed from the Whitebeard Pirates' base, it immediately caused a huge sensation throughout the North Blue.

Many forces that had planned to send their subordinates there have now had their leaders personally go to the naval base instead.

“Newgate…you actually went there in person! It seems I’ll have to go this time too!” After learning that Whitebeard had personally gone to the Marine base, Big Mom immediately had someone contact Katakuri, who had just set off, and asked him to wait for her so they could go to the Marine base together.

Meanwhile, King, the Wildfire of the Beasts Pirates who hadn't yet set off, went straight to Kaido, who was drinking.

"What? Whitebeard actually went to the Marine base in person? Interesting... Let's go! This time I'll go myself!" Kaido threw down his gourd of sake and said happily.

"Governor...the naval base won't be sunk this time, will it?" Quinn asked curiously from the side.

With so many powerful leaders gathered here, they're not all friends; the number of enemies is definitely much greater. When they start fighting... even a small island probably wouldn't be enough for them.

"Hehehehehe..." Kaido laughed loudly and replied, "It's alright, the Navy is so big and powerful, it doesn't care about one or two islands!"

At this moment, the naval base received news that Whitebeard had come in person. Sengoku and Garp were both stunned for a moment, and then began to order the evacuation of the island's residents and the evacuation of ordinary naval soldiers.

Chapter 771 Arrival

"It seems this matter won't be easily resolved!" Sengoku said to Garp beside him from the port of the North Sea Navy base.

Whitebeard came in person, and as the highest-ranking officer in the Navy, he had to personally greet him here.

It would have been fine for Garp to come and greet them, but Sengoku was a little worried about Garp. If things went wrong with the Whitebeard Pirates, the Navy's plans would basically be ruined, so Sengoku came in person.

"What does it matter? At worst, we can just fight our own battles!" Garp replied nonchalantly, picking his nose.

"It's precisely because you have such thoughts that I dare not let you preside over this matter!" Sengoku said with a helpless expression.

"Hahaha... I've dedicated my life to the Navy, and now it's time for me to do whatever I want!" Garp replied with a loud laugh.

Sengoku naturally meant that when they were at headquarters, he and Garp were both sidelined and even deliberately targeted by Sakazuki.

However, Sengoku smiled and said, "Old friend, we're not fighting for the navy now, we're fighting for our world!"

“Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t have come with you! This time… I will act according to my principles of justice!” Garp said seriously, his smile fading.

Sengoku looked at Garp, saw the seriousness in his eyes, nodded, and said, "In that case... let's do it together!"

Garp grinned and smiled, but didn't say anything more.

Soon, the silhouette of the Moby Dick slowly appeared on the distant sea surface near the naval base.

"They've finally arrived!" Sengoku exhaled and said.

"Yes! They're finally here! Whitebeard... It's been so long!" Garp said with a touch of nostalgia.

"Sengoku...Garp!" When the Moby Dick appeared in the harbor, Whitebeard stood at the bow, looking at Sengoku and Garp in the harbor, and called out softly, "It's been a long time!"

"Whitebeard... I heard you weren't feeling well, I thought you were about to die!" Sengoku said with a slight smile.

“Death? My brother isn’t someone who dies so easily!” Reina said as he slowly emerged from behind Whitebeard.

The other captains were all standing behind Whitebeard; in this situation, even the captains had no right to interrupt.

"Gurararara... Sengoku, Garp! I really didn't expect you two to be here to greet me! It's a pity that Zephyr isn't here, otherwise, the original Three Musketeers of the Navy would be all together!" Whitebeard said with a smile, not paying any attention to Sengoku's words.

Back when Whitebeard was active, the strongest in the Navy were the three led by Zephyr. But now things have changed. Zephyr is no longer here, Sengoku and Garp are old, and even Whitebeard himself is not as good as he used to be.

Sengoku and Garp fell silent upon hearing Whitebeard mention Zephyr.

As a former comrade-in-arms, Zephyr also dedicated his life to the Navy, but the Navy failed to truly support Zephyr. In fact, Zephyr's tragic life can be said to be inextricably linked to the Navy.

So when Whitebeard mentioned Zephyr, Sengoku and Garp's expressions were not pleasant.

"Hahaha... Brother, General Zephyr's fate wasn't good. Mentioning General Zephyr at this time is like slapping them in the face!" Reina, who was standing to the side, immediately said with a sneer.

"You all came here today not to say these things, right?" Sengoku, as expected of a former marshal, was unaffected by this small scene. He smiled slightly, gestured for them to enter, and said.

"Let's go! I don't want to leave empty-handed this time!" Upon hearing this, Whitebeard disembarked directly from the Moby Dick.

Following behind Whitebeard were Reiner and Diamond Jozu, the third division commander, with the other division commanders behind them.

With the entire Whitebeard Pirates landing, the Navy at the port immediately felt immense pressure.

"Dong dong dong..."

As the Whitebeard Pirates passed by, Marine soldiers collapsed to the ground.

"Sorry, since we've come to the enemy camp, I released a little of my aura!" Reina said with a slight smile, feigning apology.

"Young men who lack strength, step down!" Sengoku didn't say much, but simply ordered the ordinary naval soldiers to leave the port.

"You brat...you're really arrogant! You were just a kid who ran away from home back then!" Garp, seeing Reina's arrogant demeanor, couldn't help but curl his lip and say.

"Hahaha... Old man Garp, times are always moving forward!" Reina couldn't help but laugh as he replied.

Sengoku and Garp burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Just like Reina said, young people always have to grow up, and so does the Navy. Akainu, Aokiji, Kizaru, and a large number of other more powerful young people are already capable of supporting the current Navy, otherwise they wouldn't have come to the North Blue on their own initiative.

After the group arrived at the conference room prepared by the Navy, not long after, various forces from the North Sea also arrived one after another.

"Lord Sengoku, Big Mom has arrived!" Just as Reina and the others were chatting in the conference room, a naval messenger walked in and reported.

"Yes! Have someone bring them over!" Sengoku nodded and replied.

“Hey... Sengoku, you welcomed my older brother, but not Sister Lingling. If she finds out, she won’t let it go!” Reina raised an eyebrow and said.

"So what? Strictly speaking, she was defeated by the Straw Hat crew, and she has lost her position as one of the Four Emperors! But Newgate is different; he... is still one of the Four Emperors! Your Whitebeard Pirates are not only the leader of the Four Emperors, but also have the title of the world's strongest pirate crew! What? Are you worried?" Sengoku smiled slightly and said.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Reina shook his head, then said domineeringly, "What a low-level trick, but the world's number one pirate crew... our Whitebeard Pirates will not be outdone!"

Reina's words made the captains laugh involuntarily, and none of the other faction leaders present objected!

"Wouldn't that solve the problem?" Sengoku chuckled softly and replied.

Soon, guided by the naval commander, BIGMOM and his subordinates arrived at the conference room, went directly to the inner circle of the conference room, and occupied a space.

"Well, well, well... Sengoku, I heard that when Newgate came, you went to greet him personally?" Sure enough, BIGMOM had barely sat down when he immediately launched his attack.

"Hahaha... Sister Linlin, I did remind him, but he said that you were defeated by the Straw Hat crew, and strictly speaking, you no longer deserve the title of one of the Four Emperors' pirate crews! So you don't need to go to greet them!" Before Sengoku could speak, Reina said with a smile.

Upon hearing Reina's words, Bigom's expression indeed darkened.

Chapter 772 Negotiated Counterattack

After provoking BIGMOM, Reina deliberately looked at Sengoku provocatively, wanting to see how Sengoku would handle the matter.

However, Sengoku remained unfazed. He looked at Big Mom and said, "Isn't it a fact that the Whitebeard Pirates are the world's number one pirate crew? What? Are you going to object? Or challenge their status? If so... as long as you defeat them, I will personally greet you at the port next time you come. How about that?"

"Tsk tsk tsk... As expected of the wise and Buddhist Sengoku!" Reina gave Sengoku a thumbs up and said.

Sengoku's words directly targeted the Whitebeard Pirates. If Reina didn't smooth things over, they would likely be dragged down by the Navy.

That's why Reina had no choice but to speak up and try to smooth things over.

"Well, well, well... it seems your Navy is still the same as before! You put yourselves on the moral high ground and try to punish us! But... it seems you can no longer do that! If your Navy only has this little territory and manpower in the North Blue... you are not qualified to sit here and negotiate with us!" Big Mom, as expected of a veteran, directly shook off the Whitebeard Pirates and confronted Sengoku.

Sengoku remained calm, seemingly unconcerned, and said with a smile, "If you don't want our navy involved, then you can consider me merely an organizer providing the location. You can continue negotiating, but we will not participate!"

Sengoku's tactic of retreating to advance effectively silenced Big Mom, leaving her speechless.

Everyone was well aware of the Navy's proposal: to give the extraterrestrial visitors a taste of their own medicine, so they planned to attack together.

If the navy doesn't participate, they will indeed have fewer ways to obtain resources, but they will also not suffer any losses. In fact, most forces will not dare to devote all their strength to the attack, because they have the navy by their side.

If the navy takes advantage of their fight with the extraterrestrials to launch a surprise attack on their base, then they're truly doomed.

In particular, the Navy's proposal to designate the North Sea as a special zone, where there is no longer a division of power, would be meaningless without the Navy's participation.

Because apart from the navy, most of them are pirates, revolutionary army members, and other criminals wanted by the World Government.

"Since your navy isn't going to participate... then please withdraw from the North Sea's sphere of influence!" At this moment, Reina was definitely on Bigom's side, so he spoke directly.

"Now is not the time to talk about these things. Let's wait until everyone is here before we discuss them!" The white-bearded man, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and said.

After Whitebeard spoke, everyone fell silent. Reina even sat back down behind Whitebeard and began chatting quietly with the captains around him.

As time went on, more and more leaders of various factions came to the naval base, including Kaido of the Beasts Pirates and Dragon of the Revolutionary Army, who came in person.

"Alright, it's almost time. We won't wait for those who haven't arrived yet. After all, everyone we can talk to... is already here." Sengoku stood up and said this after seeing that Kaido, Dragon, and the others had all arrived.

As Sengoku finished speaking, Whitebeard opened his eyes, and Big Mom, who was eating sweets, stopped what she was doing with a strange laugh.

"Well then... everyone should have already received the news that the World Government has designated the North Blue as a special area, where there are no longer any divisions of power! That means that from now on, we are all comrades-in-arms here!" Sengoku said directly when he saw that everyone was looking at him.

Everyone has reached a consensus on this matter, because it is indeed a good thing for them, so no one has raised any other opinions.

“Since everyone agrees, let’s move on to the second matter… dealing with our common enemy—the extraterrestrial visitors!” Sengoku stood up and walked to the front of the conference room, where a map of the North Sea was displayed. He said, “Using our current territories as attack points, we will decide on a time for everyone to launch a simultaneous attack on the extraterrestrial visitors!”

"Well, well... I have no objection! But... how can you guarantee that everyone will act immediately?" BIGMOM said with a strange laugh while eating dessert.

"Regarding this matter, Lord Reiner of the Whitebeard Pirates has a suggestion..." Sengoku smiled slightly and said, "That is, all forces should overlap! For example, our Navy will send two squads to the Whitebeard Pirates and your Big Mom Pirates respectively to supervise your attack on the extraterrestrial visitors at the agreed time! You can do the same, each of you can send two squads to the forces you are not comfortable with to supervise them!"

The words of the Warring States period made everyone fall into deep thought. Following this line of thought, it could indeed effectively prevent someone from deliberately delaying the attack time, or simply not launching an attack at all.

"And in order to ensure the smooth progress of this matter, all forces must make a guarantee here that no matter who comes to their forces, their safety must be guaranteed. Otherwise, no matter who it is, if any force suffers casualties, unless your entire army is wiped out, all forces will unite to besiege them afterwards!" At this moment, Reina suddenly stood up and proposed.

“This…” Reina’s words made many faction leaders hesitate, because they had indeed had such a plan before.

Besides Reina, Katakuri, Jhin, and others also offered many suggestions to make the attack on the extraterrestrial visitors even more perfect.

"So, if there are no other opinions, shall we proceed with this decision? In three days, we will launch a full-scale attack on the extraterrestrial visitors! Whoever conquers this territory will own it! In other words... if you have the ability, you can even fight your way to the central island of the extraterrestrial visitors!" Sengoku concluded.

“Hehe…” At this moment, Reina stood up again and said, “You may not know what the central island of the extraterrestrial visitors means…”

Everyone looked at Reina, seemingly waiting for his explanation.
