Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Reina glanced at Whitebeard, and seeing Whitebeard nod, he continued, "The reason the extraterrestrials have such a large force is because their people can resurrect infinitely! Although resurrection takes time, for us, if we can't kill them... our battle will never end!"

Big Mom and Kaido didn't pay attention to what Reina said, because they already knew this information. But it was different for the leaders of the smaller factions; this was the first time they had heard of such a thing.

“I don’t know how they were resurrected, but we have some guesses… and the secret… may very well be found on the central island of the extraterrestrial visitors!” Reina continued to throw out a bait, and this time even Kaido and Big Mom looked at Reina with great interest.

Chapter 773 Reina's Worries

"Brother, how about I lead the counterattack against the extraterrestrials this time?" Reina said to Whitebeard on the way back.

Whitebeard shook his head and said, "No, this time I will lead the team myself. You stay behind and guard the area!"

Reina looked at Whitebeard with surprise, not because he questioned Whitebeard's strength or orders, but because he felt that Whitebeard did not need to go to the front line personally, since he was getting old and his physical strength was not keeping up.

"This operation... won't be so peaceful!" Whitebeard gazed at the distant sea and said, "I have a feeling those guys won't stay quiet for long!"

"Big brother, are you talking about... the Navy? Or Linlin and Kaido?" Reina thought for a moment, then frowned and asked.

“Those extraterrestrial visitors!” Whitebeard’s lips curled slightly as he said, “They definitely hadn’t considered our all-out attack. Since they dared to invade our world and were so well-planned, it’s very likely they were fully prepared!”

“Then I should go!” Reina stepped forward and said, “Big brother is guarding the garrison, let me go! Even if something unexpected happens, I can bring everyone back!”

"No!" Whitebeard shook his head and said, "Have Liuliu come with us. If things go wrong, immediately use the summoning spell to summon Liuliu!"

Reina suddenly realized that by using Liuliu's reverse psychic abilities, he could quickly bring back the Whitebeard Pirates' captains and Whitebeard himself.

“Then let’s bring Hard Shell and Liu Liu along, brother! I still have one more slot for summoning, how about I go to the Calm Belt and summon another large sea king?” Reina nodded and said.

"No need, just bring Liuliu along just in case. We might not necessarily lose!" Whitebeard shook his head and said, "Keep the hard shell with you. If anything happens, we can use Liuliu to summon you here, and then you can use the hard shell to summon back!"

“I understand!” Reina nodded in reply.

Whitebeard's arrangements were more secure, so Reina didn't say much, but he couldn't help feeling a little worried, because Whitebeard had never been so cautious before. In the past, no matter what kind of enemy he was, Whitebeard would never take them seriously.

However, the fact that Whitebeard arranged things so cautiously this time proves that he doesn't have high hopes for this operation.

But Reina didn't understand. Given the strength the extraterrestrial visitors were displaying, it shouldn't be enough to make Whitebeard so cautious. Was there some detail he hadn't noticed?

Now that Whitebeard has given the order, Reyna has no choice but to carry it out.

Back at the base, Whitebeard began issuing orders to prepare for battle, and Reina specifically sought out Jozu and instructed him to protect Whitebeard during this expedition.

"First mate, do you think this expedition will be dangerous?" Joz asked, looking completely bewildered.

In his view, the extraterrestrials would not be able to defend against such a large-scale attack, and there was a greater possibility that they would be counterattacked to the central island. Therefore, he did not quite understand why Reina told him to protect Whitebeard.

"Anyway, you just need to take good care of your older brother!" Reina himself didn't know the reason; it was just Whitebeard's premonition, so naturally he couldn't explain anything to Jozu.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Dad!" Joz shrugged and replied.

"I will send Liuliu with you on this expedition. If anything unexpected happens, remember to have Liuliu bring Big Brother back immediately! The Whitebeard Pirates... cannot lose Whitebeard, understand?" Reina said solemnly.

"Yes, I understand!" Joz nodded when he saw Reina's serious explanation and said, "Did you see something?"

Reina's Sharingan possesses the ability to foresee the future, a fact known not only to the Whitebeard Pirates but also to many people throughout the world.

“No! You and I are too close. I can no longer see any future in you! But my elder brother said that this expedition may not be simple, so we are just being prepared!” Reina shook his head and replied.

Jozu was taken aback. He thought it was Reina's concern, but he didn't expect that it was his father, Whitebeard, who felt that this expedition might not go smoothly.

“What if…we let Dad stay here?” Joz hesitated for a moment before asking.

Since going on an expedition is dangerous, why not let Old Man Whitebeard stay behind to guard the camp?

Even though this might put Reina in danger, Joz still spoke up.

“I also mentioned it to my brother, but he said that guarding the base is just as dangerous, because some restless guys might take advantage of this opportunity to do something!” Reina said helplessly. “So having me guard this place will minimize the number of personnel stationed here, making you all safer! So I hope that from the moment we set off, you will stay by my brother’s side the whole time, remain vigilant at all times, and don’t let your guard down!”

"Don't worry, I know what to do!" Joz nodded in reply.

“After this is over, let Big Brother go back to Xuan Yue Island. Marco’s child is there, so Big Brother shouldn’t be too bored!” Reina said with a wry smile. “Robin didn’t grow up with us back then. Now that Marco has a child, Big Brother should rest and enjoy his retirement!”

"I'm just afraid Dad won't agree!" Joz said with a wry smile.

“It’s alright, Marco will write a letter to our older brother and put the child’s handprint or footprint on it. Our older brother will definitely like it! Maybe he’ll be eager to go back!” Reina said with a sly laugh.

Joz scratched the back of his head sheepishly and said, "Now that you mention it, even I want to go back and see Marco's kids!"

“When you go back with your older brother, come to Beihai to play whenever you’re bored. After you’ve had your fun, you can go back to Xuan Yue Island!” Reina said with a smile.

“That’s great!” Joz immediately grinned and replied.

"Anyway... I'm entrusting this matter to you! If you encounter any danger, be sure to teleport Big Brother back immediately! Otherwise, given Big Brother's temper, he'll definitely fight them!" Reina said, his smile fading as he solemnly instructed.

"Don't worry, I'll inform all the captains and have them carry out this order!" Joz nodded and replied.

"Alright! Then I'll leave it to you. As for the base, you don't need to worry. As long as our people are here, whoever attacks me will pay the price. I won't stay here to die. If things don't look right, I'll use my spirit to leave! So don't worry about me!" Reina said casually so that Jozu could focus on taking care of Whitebeard.

Chapter 774 Sense of Oppression

After instructing Jozu to take good care of Whitebeard, Reyna went to find Rakuyo and told him about Whitebeard's concerns.

"Huh? It's probably just Dad's worry, right? According to the results of the previous meeting, if everyone follows through, I really can't think of how to defend against the extraterrestrial visitors. They've basically gathered more than half of the world's top experts here!" Lakyo said somewhat nonchalantly.

Reina nodded and said, "I know. Actually, I didn't care before either, but with your strength reaching your level, you have a certain ability to foresee danger! Moreover, after he said that, for some reason, I feel a little worried. This is not a good situation. You know, the stronger you are, especially after we've absorbed a lot of luck power, the more accurate this feeling is often! So don't be careless!"

Lacjoo paused, looked at Reina seriously, then nodded and said, "I understand. I will handle this matter carefully!"

“Good that you understand, that’s the main reason I came to see you!” Reina nodded and said, “I don’t want you to make any mistakes because of carelessness this time! I’ve already instructed Joz to stay by Big Brother’s side the whole time. If anything unexpected happens, he should immediately use the summoning scroll to summon Big Brother!”

Lakyo took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, everything will be alright! With Dad by our side, we'll make sure he doesn't get hurt!"

“I know, that’s why I specially made a batch of summoning scrolls. Give one to each captain, just in case!” Reina handed all the summoning scrolls he had exchanged from the shop to Lakyo, asking him to distribute them to the captains.

"The scrolls you gave us last time were mostly unused by everyone, so there's no need to give them to us again, right?" Lakyo frowned, not taking the scroll from Reina, and said.

Ever since Whitebeard found out about Reyner exchanging for liquor, he has forbidden him from exchanging anything else.

Reina spent most of his points on liquor, which prevented him from improving his strength for a long time. This led Whitebeard to mistakenly believe that Reina had paid a great price to be able to exchange for anything, so he forbade him from exchanging anything.

“I can afford the cost of these things! Compared to everyone’s safety, this is nothing!” Reina shook his head and gave all the scrolls to Lakyo!

At this moment, Laquero nodded very solemnly, having already sensed Reina's seriousness.

On the morning of the third day, Whitebeard, along with ten captains and more than thirty pirate crews under his command, set off in a grand procession toward the island of the extraterrestrial visitors.

"As expected of the Whitebeard Pirates, they actually set out on an expedition led by their captain!" A Marine Rear Admiral stood at the port, watching Whitebeard depart, and said with a light laugh.

"Hmph! Which force didn't send out all its elite troops for this general offensive? I was wondering why the famous Lord Akame Reina didn't go along!" A member of the Beast Pirates said with a disdainful look.

"I'm not killing you today because I'm afraid, but because I don't want to break our agreement! If you don't die at the hands of the extraterrestrials afterward, remember to have Kaido protect you!" Reina glanced at the other party and said softly.

The Beasts Pirates officer trembled slightly and immediately shut his mouth, refusing to speak again.

The naval commanders standing nearby were also somewhat puzzled, because their navy had basically mobilized all its forces. After all, this war was not something that could be resolved in a single battle. After seizing the enemy's territory, they would need manpower to garrison it. If too few people were deployed, even if they captured the territory, there would be no one to occupy it!

However, Reina did not explain to them. Several hours later, the remaining four captains also led their combatants out to sea one after another, leaving Reina alone on the island.

Originally, after the Whitebeard Pirates set out, the Marines and the Beasts Pirates should have left. However, for some reason, they waited until all four captains had left before exchanging glances and departing one after another.

"First mate... something feels off! Could it be that the Navy and the Beast Pirates have teamed up? Are they going to attack us?" A captain from one of Whitebeard's pirate crews asked Reina with a worried expression.

Besides the sixteen division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates headquarters, there were more than fifty pirate crews under his command. Whitebeard took thirty with him, left ten to guard Crescent Island, and the remaining ten pirate crews stayed with Reina at his base in the North Blue. So Reina's side was not without any troops, just not many high-end combatants.

"The way things are developing... is indeed a bit strange!" Reina also sensed the unusual atmosphere, but he still didn't quite believe that the Navy and the Beast Pirates were joining forces against them.

According to information from their scouts, the Navy, the Beast Pirates, and even the Big Mom Pirates all deployed their elite forces in a full-scale attack on the extraterrestrial visitors.

Moreover, news from the front lines indicated that although the extraterrestrial visitors fought back fiercely, just as they had predicted, their greatest advantage—rapid mobility—was essentially rendered useless due to the sheer number of areas under attack.

Because every place was under attack, their strongmen were unable to leave, and although their rear guard provided timely support, they were simply unable to keep up with the numerous attack points.

This is only because none of the factions wanted to be the first to act and slowed down their attack. If everyone could really work together, Reina believed that the extraterrestrial visitors would be completely stunned at this moment!

Therefore, Reina also did not believe that the Navy or other forces had enough troops to cause trouble for the Whitebeard Pirates.

With him here, unless it's a force of the caliber of Big Mom, Kaido, or Garp, ordinary officers are no match for Reina.

With his Mangekyou Sharingan, Reina is not afraid of group attacks at all. The pressure control ability attached to his left eye can make most of his enemies work for him.

But if you say nothing will happen, Reina doesn't believe it either, because not only him, but all the captains on the island felt a sense of impending doom, and there was definitely some powerful enemy eyeing them.

"How long until Sachi arrives?" Reina hesitated for a moment before asking the person next to him.

“Captain Sachi is on his way. When we contacted him before, he was preparing to enter the Calm Belt. Now… he should be here soon!” a captain replied immediately.

Chapter 775 The Hidden Enemy

"Captain, why is the first mate making us rush back so quickly?" A member of the combat squad on Sachi's ship asked, looking puzzled.

Sachi shook his head and said, "I don't know. Reina just told us to get back as soon as possible and not to land on the island directly. It seems he intends to use us as a surprise force to support or ambush someone!"

"Huh? Does someone dare to attack our Whitebeard Pirates?" the combatant asked incredulously.

The Whitebeard Pirates are currently at their peak. Not only do they have the soul of the crew, Whitebeard, but Reyna's strength is also comparable to any of the Four Emperors, and the sixteen division commanders are all powerful figures capable of holding their own in their respective regions.

Of the original Four Emperors, Big Mom and Kaido were defeated one after another. The Red-Haired Pirates were relatively younger, so the Whitebeard Pirates not only had the reputation of being the world's strongest pirate crew, but were also stronger than ever before.

"I don't know. We'll be entering the North Sea soon. Everyone, stay alert. Since Reina is so serious, we can't afford to mess things up!" Sachi replied with a slight smile.

"Yes, Captain!" After a period of rest, the team members were already impatient; they needed to fight, they needed blood!

At this moment, at the Whitebeard Pirates' base, Reina looked at the enemy surrounding the entire island with a grim expression, his anger so intense that he was on the verge of exploding at any moment.

"These guys... do they really think... they can take over the Whitebeard Pirates' base?" Reina said with a gloomy expression, looking at the birds that were falling from the sky and fighting with the pirates stationed there.

"First mate, something's wrong! These animals seem to be controlled by someone, they're attacking us relentlessly! And they're all birds of prey, we can't fight them at all!" A pirate captain wiped the blood from his forehead and ran over to Reina.

"Hoo... Let me see what they're relying on!" After saying that, Reina took a step and his body soared into the air. Hyōrinmaru appeared in his hand, and he immediately activated Bankai mode. A huge frost dragon appeared out of the sky and instantly froze all the birds in the sky above the island.

"The first mate is awesome!"

"Long live Lord Reina!"

Seeing Reina take down nearly half of the enemies with a single blow, the pirates couldn't help but cheer.

"If this is all you have to offer... then leave them all here! Kill them all!" Reina swung his Hyōrinmaru, and countless ice spikes appeared in the air, hurtling towards the circling birds.

"Puff puff……"

Although these birds were numerous, they were completely powerless against Reina. Once they were touched by Reina's ice, they were basically doomed.

Whether they are killed on the spot by Reina or their wings are frozen by ice, once they leave the airspace and fall to the ground, a large number of pirates are waiting for them!
