Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Robin smiled helplessly, put away Reina's Vivre Card, and said, "Actually, we have an even faster way!"

"What method?" Luffy looked at Robin in surprise and asked.

“Use Little Fatty!” Robin said with a smile, “Although Little Fatty is my summoning beast, he was prepared for me by my father. Whenever Little Fatty is in danger, my father will sense it and then use Little Fatty to perform reverse summoning, summoning himself to Little Fatty’s side! This is my greatest reliance!”

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Robin in surprise. They had encountered many dangerous moments on the final island, but she had never mentioned that she had such an ability.

"Because that's our adventure, I don't want Father to get involved!" Robin seemed to know what her companions were thinking and spoke up directly. "But things are different now. Father is in the North Blue, and maybe he knows something about Sabo!"

"No need! I believe Sabo will be fine!" Luffy said with a smile.

Although he was very worried about Sabo, he didn't want his partner to do this, especially to make Robin's summoned beast feel its life was in danger, just so that Reina could come and ask.

"Are you sure it's okay?" Robin asked again.

"It's okay! But Nami, we still need to get to the North Blue as fast as we can!" Luffy said with a smile.

Robin smiled upon hearing this and said nothing more.

That's just how Luffy is; once he makes a decision, his crew won't object.

"Don't worry, although I don't know where we are now, as long as we have the Vivre Card to guide us, it's only a matter of time before we reach the North Sea!" Nami said with confidence when talking about sailing.

"Nami-san is so cool!" Sanji, who had already transformed into his new form, fawned over Nami, while his crewmates were already used to it.

Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters, Sakazuki was furious because the people he sent out to find the Straw Hat crew had managed to escape after encountering them.

“Alright, Mr. Sakazuki, let me handle this one! Once I find them, they won’t be able to escape!” A man with curly hair, sitting lazily on the sofa to the side, said.

“You? No way!” Sakazuki shook his head and said, “The situation in the North Blue is collapsing. Although the World Government intends to abandon the North Blue, we can’t really give up. So I plan to secretly send you there!”

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Sakazuki in confusion. This was an order from the World Government. Did Sakazuki, as the Fleet Admiral, intend to disobey the World Government's orders?

“I’ll go to the North Blue! I’m more familiar with the situation there!” Fujitora suddenly spoke up, saying, “And if the World Government causes trouble afterward, I can say it was my unauthorized action!”

If Sakazuki really intends to send troops to reinforce the North Sea, then Fujitora would definitely be the first to agree.

He was strongly opposed when the World Government abandoned the North Sea.

Even if the Straw Hat crew reaches the final island and becomes the Pirate King, posing a huge threat to the World Government, they are still people of this world. But those extraterrestrial visitors are different; they are aliens, and what they want to do is occupy their entire planet. They are an alien species.

That's why he said those things when Sakazuki expressed his willingness to reinforce North Sea, even at the cost of taking the blame for Sakazuki.

"You bastard...did you already think this way? Even without my orders, were you planning to secretly go to the North Sea?" Sakazuki asked, his face darkening.

Fujitora smiled noncommittally. He did indeed have such a plan, but at this point, he couldn't possibly admit it.

Seeing this, Sakazuki didn't bother to waste words with him and directly sent Green Bull to the New World, allowing him and Kizaru to continue pursuing the Straw Hat crew's whereabouts. As for Fujitora, he arranged for him to secretly go to the North Blue. Apart from himself, Sakazuki did not send any other reinforcements.

According to Fujitora himself, if he were to be blamed by the World Government, he could simply say that it was his own doing and had nothing to do with the Marine Headquarters. At worst, Sakazuki would just give him a symbolic punishment, and Fujitora himself didn't care at all.

On the other side, three days after the Revolutionary Army's defeat, the extraterrestrials' counterattack did not come as expected. It seemed that they had entered a defensive posture, which made most people secretly breathe a sigh of relief. However, Big Mom and Kaido, who were already prepared, were somewhat impatient.

The extraterrestrial visitors cannot be controlled if they do not attack, but they can demand that their side attack to provoke a backlash. Therefore, under the strong demands of Big Mom and Kaido, the Navy has been holding video conferences. However, until they find a user who can counter the extraterrestrial visitors' abilities, they are unwilling to continue attacking.

Chapter 781 Each Person's Response

"So... in order to continue the offensive, we've handed over our defenses to you as well?" Reina asked Ivankov in front of him with a surprised look.

“Yes, Reina BABY…” Ivankov nodded and said, “Sabo is still unconscious, but the dragon’s injuries have improved! We have lost the ability to attack, but if it’s just defense, it should be fine! After all, with a large force at the front, they don’t dare to send too many people over!”

Reina nodded and said, "I see, that is indeed a good idea! But for you... isn't it too disadvantageous?"

In terms of defense alone, there is no benefit, but one will still face the enemy's attacks, and losses are unavoidable.

"Hehehe... Old Man Whitebeard has already offered to share half of the resources we gain from the subsequent attack!" Ivankov said with a loud laugh.

“I see~ That’s not bad either. It’s more worthwhile than withdrawing now. Besides, they might not even attack us. After all, there are so many forces that could attack, and we are a major force. They might not choose us!” Reina agreed.

"Then, if Your Excellency Reina has no objections, we will begin setting up the defense system here!" Ivankov said with a grin.

“No rush! We still have some troops here. Should I stay to assist you in the defense, or should I take them with me?” Reina stroked his chin and asked.

“This…” Ivankov hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately.

In this matter, they certainly hoped that Reina would allow those troops to remain, but if the Whitebeard Pirates suffered too many casualties, they were afraid that it would affect the relationship between the two sides, so Ivankov did not make a direct decision.

“Here’s what we’ll do! I’ll leave all these troops to you. Our garrison here will mainly rely on our own people for defense! You can send some of your high-level combat forces to assist us! After all, after I leave, we won’t even have a captain-level combat force left!” Reina said after thinking for a moment.

“That works too!” Ivankov nodded immediately upon hearing this and said, “Besides the fact that the leader needs to defend our own base, we will send three of the four legion commanders here, and I will also stay here to oversee the work here!”

“Alright! In that case… come with me for a moment!” Reina patted Ivankov on the shoulder, then led him aside and said, “On our side, besides the forces we’ve shown so far, Sachi has also arrived from Xuan Yue Island and is currently stationed on a small island not far away! Not many people know about this, so don’t spread it around. If the other side really attacks us, Sachi will appear!”

"Oh?" Ivankov's eyes lit up. "So you had such a backup plan. Now you're truly foolproof!"

“Based on your encounter with BIGMOM, there is only one powerful individual on their side who can use that kind of energy shield, so there is only one place they can attack! If they don’t attack us and instead choose you as their target again, then you should immediately signal Sachi to come and take charge of things here, while you lead your people to your base for rescue!” Reina said with a light laugh.

Ivankov shook his head and said, "If they really attack our base, they won't give us a chance to send a signal. We'll only know the outcome after the battle is over!"

“I see…” Reina frowned and said, “So you only have an injured dragon and a legion commander on your side, are you sure that’s alright?”

"Don't worry, our Revolutionary Army is capable of fighting the World Government, and we have more than just this much strength. The leader has already given the order that, in addition to the Revolutionary Army forces in the North Blue who have already come to assemble, the main force of the Revolutionary Army in the Grand Line is on its way and should have arrived at their base by now, so there's no need to worry about that!" Ivankov said confidently.

"That's good. In that case, I won't waste any more words... I'll leave this to you!" Reina nodded and said.

Afterwards, Reina summoned the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates and introduced them to Ivankov, explaining his purpose. The captains were naturally very welcoming, even though many of them were just as strong as the captains, having more reinforcements was always a good thing.

After explaining everything, Reina found a secluded corner and summoned the Ice Witch Whiteybe.

“Here’s a scroll for reverse psychic communication, take this!” Reina took out a psychic scroll from his pocket and handed it to Whitebeard, saying, “If things get urgent here, use the scroll to psychic me over! However, the enemy’s energy shield can block all energy, so I don’t know if you’ll be able to use it then, so don’t be careless!”

"I still have this thing! Why are you giving it to me again?" Whitey Bay asked, looking surprised.

"Take an extra one just in case. This thing is useless after it's used. If the energy shield blocks the summoning spell, you won't have any summoning scrolls left! So take an extra one. If you have a chance to break the opponent's energy shield, use it again immediately. That way you'll be safer!" Reina said seriously.

"Okay, I understand!" Whiteybe nodded, accepted the scroll handed to him by Reina, and said, "I don't think the chances of us being attacked are high. And even if they do attack us, I don't think many of them will come. After all, they are surrounded by us now, and it's unrealistic for many of them to come out!"

“Don’t be careless. They may have used the teleportation machine, so there’s a possibility that even more people could be involved!” Reina shook his head and said.

"Okay, you should go to Dad's place now! They're more worrying!" Waibaidi said impatiently.

Left with no other choice, Reina had to begin preparing for his departure.

Meanwhile, Big Mom and Kaido's crew were still waiting for news from their intelligence agents.

"Well... Montor, hasn't any news come through yet?" Bigom asked, looking annoyed.

They had placed spies around all the factions so that they would know the moment the extraterrestrials launched an attack. However, after watching for several days, nothing happened, which made BIGMOM quite unhappy.

"Mom! Intelligence agents from all over have reported back that everything is normal. The extraterrestrials haven't made a move! Is it because we didn't attack that they didn't retaliate?" Mondor said helplessly.

"Impossible! They're not making any moves right now... There's only one possibility! That is, they're preparing an even bigger conspiracy!" King the Wildfire of the Beasts Pirates said calmly from the side.

Chapter 782 The War Begins

Big Mom and Kaido both looked at King at the same time; King's words had startled them.

"You mean... they're already preparing for an even bigger counterattack?" Kaido asked, putting down his gourd of sake.

“That’s for sure!” Jin nodded and said, “Moreover, this counterattack could very well lead to the collapse of our allied forces! Otherwise, they wouldn’t have needed to prepare for so long!”

Kaido and Big Mom remained silent. They believed that what King said was likely to come true, because if they were in the position of the extraterrestrial visitor, they would inevitably make the same choice.

The initiative was in their hands, yet they didn't launch an attack, which was certainly not a good sign.

"Mom, what do we do now? Should we give up our plan?" Mondor asked with some concern.

"No!" Big Mom grinned, "What do other people's lives have to do with us? We're already prepared, so let them sacrifice themselves for us! Mmm..."

BIGMOM's words were quite clear: at the very least, they could go to the Mirror World. Once they hid there, no matter what schemes the other side might have, they wouldn't be able to harm them. They could even use the Mirror World to launch a counterattack against the alien visitors' island.

So now, no matter what schemes the other side has, as long as they fight, they can win in the chaos.

Unlike Big Mom, the Whitebeard Pirates, having received news that Reina had arrived, hoped that the extraterrestrials' attack would be delayed, giving them enough time to prepare. However, things rarely go as planned. Just as the Whitebeard Pirates were waiting for Reina's arrival, the extraterrestrials launched a surprise attack.

Moreover, their target this time was not any one faction, but rather they launched an attack on the bases of all factions. In order to hold back the main force at the front, the ability users who previously controlled animals dispatched all the animals under their control.

"It seems our guess was right. They must have launched a surprise attack on our base!" Whitebeard sighed softly as countless animals appeared on the front lines.

"I wonder if we can stop the attack from the extraterrestrials! Father, what do we do now? Should we defend or attack!?" Lakshmi asked Whitebeard.

"Since it has already happened, there's no point in thinking about it anymore! Deal with these beasts, and then... launch an attack!" Whitebeard shouted, brandishing his naginata.

"Oh~~~"

"Yes, Father!"

Everyone responded enthusiastically, and led by the captains and crew, they began to clear out the wild beasts that had come into their sight.

"Father, besides the flying creatures, the sea monsters in the ocean seem to have been summoned as well, and they are showing signs of coming towards us!" Just as the battle began, an intelligence officer ran up to Whitebeard and reported this.

"How is things on Muir's side? Has he sent out any distress signals?" Whitebeard asked upon hearing this.

“No!” The intelligence officer shook his head and said, “He only passed on this information, but he didn’t request reinforcements!”

"Don't worry, Father, there won't be any problems over there!" Rakuyo, the deputy commander, said confidently, "With the Naga Queen of the Fish-Men here, these mere sea monsters won't pose any of a problem!"

Whitebeard nodded and said nothing more.

The Naga were invited by them to help. After receiving the news, Fishman Island did not hesitate and immediately arranged for the Naga Queen to come. In fact, to protect her safety, they also arranged for a team of Fishman Sea Kings to come.

So although there are many beasts surrounding them, Whitebeard doesn't take them seriously. He's just a little worried, wondering who the extraterrestrial visitors are targeting this time.

Unbeknownst to him, the extraterrestrial visitors had used teleportation tools to send most of their forces behind them. This was why they waited several days before launching their attack, in order to gather their forces and deploy them where they needed them.

Before long, the Whitebeard Pirates had cleared out the surrounding wild beasts, and the sea monsters in the ocean were regained control by the Naga Queen, becoming their allies.

"Father, the battle is almost over, and our ships are ready. Should we launch an attack now?" Laco asked after reviewing the intelligence he had gathered.

"Have you received any intelligence from friendly forces?" Whitebeard asked after thinking for a moment.

Laco nodded and said, "The situation on the Navy's side is similar to ours! With Sengoku and Garp there, they're basically not in much trouble. However, if the extraterrestrials choose to attack their base, the Navy might not be able to hold it! So they didn't continue their attack; after clearing out those beasts, they stopped fighting!"

"The Big Mom Pirates and Kaido's Beasts Pirates are a bit strange. Their battle is still ongoing, and it seems their main force isn't here! Logically speaking, it wouldn't be a problem for the Big Mom Pirates to leave Katakuri at their base. They have absolutely no need to send their main force back! After all, even the Navy only stopped fighting, instead of going back to reinforce!"

"Linlin and Kaito?" Whitebeard chuckled and said, "They're unlikely to go back to reinforce! Unless they've obtained some intelligence we don't know about! Otherwise, given those two's personalities, I'm more inclined to believe they've already launched a counterattack by now!"

“But we haven’t received any news of them launching a counterattack! It’s just that their main force should no longer be on the front lines!” Lakyo said with some doubt.

"Never mind them for now. Where is Reina?" Whitebeard shook his head and replied.

“Reina is already on his way, and he should be close by!” Lacjo replied directly.

"Alright! In that case, leave some men to defend, and the rest will launch a counterattack!" Whitebeard nodded and ordered, "Have Reina go directly to the front lines and join us! Also, try to contact the base to see if they've been attacked!"
