Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Alright!" At this moment, the white-bearded man sitting in the main seat spoke up: "Sengoku sent you here just to have you bring the Den Den Mushi?"

The naval admiral shook his head and replied, "Besides sending me the Den Den Mushi, Lord Sengoku also asked everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates to be careful. The extraterrestrial visitors might attack us again before we find a way to deal with them! So, just in case, Lord Sengoku hopes that everyone will be prepared for battle and that a detachment will be dispatched to garrison the ship, maintaining a certain distance from your current location, while still being able to monitor the situation here at any time!"

"Has your navy already implemented this plan? Or is this your final solution?" Whitebeard asked, frowning.

The naval commander shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. I was just following Lord Sengoku's instructions to deliver the message!"

Chapter 778 Kera's Proposal

After the Navy personnel left, Whitebeard gathered the captains together to discuss how to counter the extraterrestrial visitors' unexpected tactics.

Koala, as an aid worker sent by the Revolutionary Army, also attended the meeting. As the only person there who had officially fought against the other side, she could offer the Whitebeard Pirates a lot of advice and experience.

"According to the Navy's wishes, what do you think about sending a force to be stationed in the surrounding area?" Whitebeard, sitting in the main seat, asked first.

"No!" Kerla was the first to object, shaking his head and saying, "Even if you send captains out, if we face an attack from extraterrestrials, the captains outside might not even have a chance to call for help before being defeated! At a time like this, we absolutely cannot disperse our forces!"

“But without troops outside, if we are all trapped, we will lose the chance to call for help!” Laqué frowned and said, “If we are trapped, we may very well follow in the footsteps of the Revolutionary Army! Even with your strength, you couldn’t resist, so we probably can’t either, unless… we bring Reina over!”

As Rakuyo spoke, he looked at Whitebeard. He actually wanted Whitebeard to go back and take charge of the base, so that Whitebeard would be safer!

“No, our base has been attacked too, hasn’t it? Without First Mate Reina, we might not be able to hold our base!” Before Whitebeard could speak, Kingdo interjected.

“The one that attacked our base must have some kind of ability; it can control wild beasts! We have their army surrounding them now, so they can't just airdrop their main force behind us. They can only launch a sneak attack with small groups. With Dad and a few captains, we can handle it! Once Reina arrives, with his Sharingan abilities, he might be able to see through their abilities!” Lakyo hesitated for a moment before speaking.

His words made it sound like he was saying Whitebeard was inferior to Reyner, but everyone knew what he meant. Whitebeard was their key figure, and as Whitebeard got older, they dared not let him fight. If Whitebeard were to suffer any injury, it would be a huge loss.

Especially now that the enemy has the ability to trap them all, they dare not let Whitebeard stay here any longer.

"Gurararar... You brats, don't you underestimate your old man?!" From the main seat, Whitebeard naturally understood what Rakuyo meant.

He also realized that the team leaders were deliberately steer the conversation in this direction, probably having discussed it before the meeting.

"Dad!" Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the white-bearded man with some embarrassment.

“Reina cannot leave the base yet!” Whitebeard slowly put away his smile and said, “Don’t be fooled by their probing attack on our base! I reckon they will likely place their main force behind us next!”

"What?" Everyone was shocked and looked at Whitebeard in disbelief.

“Now that we are all on guard against their ability users, it won’t be so easy for them to succeed again. And if they fail and their ability users are killed by us… then their losses will be enormous! So instead of continuing to fight us to the death here, it would be better to teleport the main force behind us and directly crush our base! That way… we will have no choice but to stop attacking!” Whitebeard said softly.

The group exchanged bewildered glances. This possibility wasn't entirely out of the question, and according to Whitebeard, it was indeed very likely.

“But… Father! How are they going to get past our army and airdrop their main force directly behind us?” Lakyo asked, frowning.

"Have you forgotten those teleportation machines? As long as we hide them before any island is conquered, they can use them to teleport people there after we leave! I think the guy who attacked our base used those hidden machines! Otherwise... he couldn't have launched an attack on all our bases around the same time!" Whitebeard said, stroking his chin.

“This…” Lakyo hesitated for a moment, then said, “What if we order a search of all the islands now?”

"No one can guarantee where those machines are. We can search our own territory, but can you search other people's territory? If you find them, great, but what if you don't? How will you explain that?" The white-bearded man shook his head and said.

“We can let them search for it themselves!” Lacjou said.

"Heh... Do you think they'd believe that? Besides, I'm just guessing!" The white-bearded man chuckled.

Everyone remained silent.

At this moment, Koala hesitated for a moment, looked at Whitebeard, and said, "If you trust us, Father... you can entrust your base to us for defense!"

"Ok?"

Everyone looked at Koala. The Revolutionary Army had suffered heavy losses this time. Not only was their leader, Dragon, seriously injured, but their second-in-command, Sabo, was also unconscious. They were barely able to defend their own territory, so how could they help them hold it?

"We are no longer able to attack! So we need your help with the front lines, and we will defend the rear! If, as Father says, they will concentrate their attacks on one of our factions' strongholds, then you don't need to worry about us, just attack directly, preferably reaching their core island!" Kerla said with a face full of hatred.

"This..." No one answered, because in this way, they would get all the benefits, while the revolutionary army would get nothing.

Although they could promise to help the Revolutionary Army retain their current territory, they still felt it was somewhat unfair, especially after Whitebeard said that the enemy might concentrate their attacks on their rear!

"If the extraterrestrials really attack our base, then half of what we gain from the subsequent battles will be yours!" Whitebeard said without hesitation.

Kella was taken aback, then said with some surprise, "Dad, you said it yourself!"

"Hahaha……"

Kella's adorable expression made the captains burst into laughter.

They didn't see anything wrong with Whitebeard's suggestion. They were allies of the Revolutionary Army, and Koala had already decided to help them defend their base even before Whitebeard made any suggestions. So, in return, it was perfectly normal for them to share half of the spoils with the Revolutionary Army.

Chapter 779 Big Mom's Scheme

"Is Thatch already in position at the designated location?" In the North Blue, at the Whitebeard Pirates' base, Reina asked the intelligence officer beside him.

“Yes, First Mate! Captain Sachi has already set up camp on a nearby island, and there has been no leak!” the intelligence officer replied immediately.

“Very good, let him stay there and guard the camp. If he discovers any disturbance at the camp, have him come to provide support immediately!” Reina nodded and said.

He had already received news that the Revolutionary Army had been ambushed and had been reminded by Whitebeard, which is why he arranged for Thatch to be stationed on an outer island and concealed the news.

Although the chances of an extraterrestrial being obtaining information about Sachi were slim, Reina still thought it was better to be cautious, so he did not reveal Sachi's whereabouts to anyone.

However, Reina is unaware that Whitebeard and the Revolutionary Army have reached an agreement to have the Revolutionary Army help him garrison this area before transferring him to the front lines.

As long as Reyner goes to the front lines, he and Whitebeard can operate separately and support each other at any time.

They could even take down the energy shield user if they just seized one opportunity. Then, before that user regenerates, they could attack without restraint, and might even be able to reach the enemy's central island.

Just like Whitebeard's choice, the Navy also separated Garp and Sengoku. Sengoku was stationed on the small island, while Garp stayed around the island on a warship. As for their Navy's base... according to Sengoku, their Navy's territory had already shrunk a lot, so if they didn't gain anything this time, there was no great use in occupying that base.

Apart from the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy, the other forces did not choose to split their forces. This included the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates. They could not abandon their bases, so the main forces on the front lines did not dare to split their forces. Without strong leaders, they would only give the enemy the opportunity to divide and annihilate them.

This led to a complete halt to the offensive at the front lines. Even though the Navy started a video conference via Den Den Mushi, everyone still couldn't reach a consensus.

Seeing the offensive at the front line pause, many smaller forces began to retreat, since, apart from the major powers, anyone targeted by extraterrestrial visitors was basically doomed.

"Kaido... our chance has come!" Big Mom picked up her sake bowl, looked at Kaido with a strange smile, and said with a laugh.

"Oh? In this situation... what chance do we have?" Kaido frowned and looked at Big Mom, asking.

"Well, well, well... So far, only I have encountered the Revolutionary Army, so I'm sure they only have one such ability user!" BIGMOM said confidently.

"So what?" Drought Jack said dismissively, "Even if it's just one person, they can stop us all in our tracks. After all, no one can guarantee that they can resist them once they've been targeted!"

"Mmmmmm..." Bigom didn't care about Jack's rudeness.

But her indifference didn't mean her children didn't care. Mondor immediately stood up and mocked, "What an idiot! Don't you know they only have one ability user? As long as they attack others, it's our chance!"

"Oh?" Kaido immediately became interested upon hearing this and asked, "Linlin... what are your plans?"

BIGMOM chuckled and said, "We'll withdraw all our main forces from this island, leaving some here to pretend we're still here! No matter who the extraterrestrials target, we'll strike immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Kaido raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you confident you can keep us from being discovered?"

“Of course!” Big Mom smiled and pointed at Brulee, saying, “Show Kaido and the others your abilities!”

“Yes, Mom!” Brûlée nodded, took out the prepared mirror, and then took Jhin into the mirror world. After a while, she brought Jhin out again.

"Admiral, that must be another dimension!" After emerging, Jin nodded and said, "I just don't know if you sensed my presence just now?"

"Absolutely not!" Before Kaido could answer, Queen, who was very interested, said, "Let me go in and experience it too!"

As a scientist, he was very interested in this kind of space capability!

Brulee looked at Big Mom, and only after Big Mom nodded did she reopen the portal to the Mirror World and lead Quinn inside.

"This is really interesting, and this ability is really convenient!" Quinn said excitedly after emerging from the mirror space.

"We just need to launch a feint attack, place a mirror on our target island beforehand, or choose an island with a mirror as our target. When the enemy launches a surprise attack, we can use the mirror world to directly counterattack the extraterrestrial visitors!" BIGMOM laughed and said, "Well, well... they don't have the ability to attack right now, so all the benefits... are ours!"

"And we can even use those idiots to hold back the extraterrestrial visitors. What a brilliant idea! Admiral, this is feasible!" Quinn said with admiration.

"In that case... let's begin preparations!" Kaido said without further ado.

“Okay, you go back and make the arrangements first. Then I’ll have Brûlée go back with you. Once you’re ready on the island, go directly to the Mirror World. Brûlée can return directly through the Mirror World. We’ll all enter the Mirror World then. If the extraterrestrials launch a surprise attack, we’ll act immediately!” BIGMOM nodded and said.

"Alright! But let's wait until the banquet is over! Glug glug glug..." Kaido said, taking another gulp of wine.

Just as the major powers in the North Sea were beginning to scheme against each other, in a certain sea area of ​​the New World...

"Ah~~ What a beautiful day! Nami... where are we now?" On the Sunny, Luffy looked at the calm sea and asked with a big laugh.

"I don't know!" Nami rolled her eyes and replied.

They had used the Phoenix Cannon to evade the navy's pursuit, and Sunny had no idea where he had flown off to.

“Luffy…don’t you have your brother’s Vivre Card? As long as we follow the Vivre Card, we should be able to reach the North Blue!” Robin said with a smile.

"Ah~~ right! I forgot!" Luffy was taken aback, then took off his straw hat and said with a smile.

But when he took out the two Vivre Cards hidden in his straw hat, his expression immediately changed, because one of the Vivre Cards had become very small, less than half the size it used to be.

"What's going on? Whose Vivre Card is this, Luffy??" Everyone around Luffy asked in surprise.

They are no longer the naive newbies they once were. The fact that the Life Card has become like this can only mean that the owner of the Life Card is now seriously injured, or even in danger of death.

Chapter 780 The Situation

"This...this is Sabo's Vivre Card!" Luffy looked at the Vivre Card in his hand with a heavy expression and said somewhat flusteredly.

"It seems the situation in the North Blue... is worse than we imagined!" Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a serious expression.

"Heh... Looks like we have something to do!" Zoro said with a fighting spirit.

The fact that Sabo, the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, was seriously injured can only mean one thing: the enemy in the North Sea is extremely powerful.

"Nami! I need to head to the North Blue immediately!" Luffy said with a serious expression as he watched the two Vivre Cards in his hand move in the same direction.

“Okay! Give me Ace’s Vivre Card so I can adjust my course at any time!” Nami nodded and said.

"Use mine!" Robin, from the side, pulled out a Vivre Card from somewhere and handed it to Nami.

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Robin in surprise.

“This is my father’s Vivre Card! He should be in the North Blue right now!” Robin pointed to the Vivre Card in her hand, moving in a direction roughly the same as Luffy’s Vivre Card for Ace.

Luffy asked, puzzled, "If they're all the same, then why use yours!?"

“Because if your brother’s Vivre Card falls into someone else’s hands, it would be extremely dangerous for him!” Robin replied softly. “However, for my father, the danger can be reduced unless his Vivre Card falls into the hands of the Navy’s higher-ups!”

"Oh~" Luffy nodded, then handed Ace's Vivre Card to Nami, smiling as he said, "Don't worry! I'll protect everyone, and I'll protect the Vivre Cards too!"

Nami shrugged at Robin and said with a smile, "Then I'll have to obey the captain's orders!"
