Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Therefore, Whitebeard's mere presence alone exerted immense pressure on the extraterrestrial visitors, and they would not easily resort to their ultimate techniques before Whitebeard made his move.

"Pfft!"

Reina pierced through an alien with a single sword strike, and said with a light laugh, "Your fancy moves are useless against my Sharingan!"

At this point, although Reina had not yet used the abilities of Hyōrinmaru and Senbonzakura, his Mangekyou Sharingan had already been activated.

Furthermore, as his control over the Sharingan improved, combined with some ninjutsu he obtained from the Tower of Trials, his attack techniques became even more elusive.

"when!"

However, Reina's attack was then blocked by an extraterrestrial visitor.

"Interesting... Finally, some decent characters have appeared?" Looking at the visitor from outer space, the blade-like tomoe in Reina's eyes began to spin, proving that he had begun to actively use the abilities attached to his Sharingan.

"Clang clang clang..."

With the Sharingan's enhancement, Reina completely saw through the opponent's attack, but he didn't rush to counterattack.

"Reina, stop playing around! The enemy's numbers are increasing. Take care of some of them quickly!" Just then, Jin Gudo, who was not far from Reina, shouted loudly to him.

“No problem! Hyōrinmaru... Bankai!” Reina waved his hand, and Hyōrinmaru, which was not far away, turned into a beam of light and came directly into Reina’s hand. Then Reina immediately activated the Bankai state.

"roar~"

A giant ice dragon possessed Reina's body, and Reina, wielding Hyōrinmaru, appeared before the enemy like a god descending to earth.

"You wicked creatures... vanish into ice! Ice Heaven Hundred Flowers Burial!" Reina swung the Hyōrinmaru in his hand, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped. Snowflakes began to fall from the sky above the island, and the ground of the entire island began to freeze.

"Tsk tsk tsk... As expected of Reina, his skills are truly extraordinary!" Not far away, seeing Reina finally getting serious, the captains couldn't help but smile.

Although the Ice Heaven Hundred Flowers Burial is an area-of-effect attack, its destructive power increases as Reina's strength grows.

Looking at Reyna, whose entire island was almost a third frozen, Whitebeard couldn't help but smile. This younger brother he had taken in had stood behind him all these years, but had not been overshadowed by Whitebeard's brilliance, and had still made a name for himself in the world.

"OK! We've taken care of some of the weaklings, now it's your turn!" Reina pointed at the enemy in front of him with the Hyōrinmaru in his hand and said with a light laugh.

"Drink!" But the other party showed no fear, and with a soft shout, charged directly at Reina.

"Commendable courage! But it's all in vain. You've still managed to bring your true powerhouses here!" Reina's Sharingan spun wildly before slowly stopping, and Hyōrinmaru in his hand also deactivated its Bankai state, returning to its human form.

The extraterrestrial who had just exchanged blows with Reina lay on the ground to the side, his body slowly fading into nothingness until he disappeared completely.

"Roar~~"

Just then, a roar erupted from the depths of the island, and the extraterrestrial visitors, as if they were courting death, charged toward Whitebeard, who was standing at the bow of the Moby Dick.

"This is not a place for you!" Before Whitebeard could even make a move, a dark figure jumped off the Moby Dick and crashed into the ground, creating a deep crater. It was Whitebeard's bodyguard, Diamond Jozu, the captain of the third division.

"Idiot! Didn't I tell you not to leave your brother's side? You don't need to handle things here!" Reina appeared beside Joz at some point, dealt with the extraterrestrial visitors around them, and then said to Joz.

"Sorry, watching your fight really got me all fired up!" Joz said somewhat embarrassedly.

“Go back! As long as Dad doesn’t get involved, they won’t dare to mess around. If we use this piecemeal tactic, they’ll regret it!” Reina kicked one of the extraterrestrials who was launching a sneak attack away, and then said to Joz.

“Okay!” Joz didn’t waste any words, nodded directly, and turned back to the Moby Dick.

"Why are you back?" Whitebeard asked in surprise as he looked at Jozu who had returned.

Joz scratched the back of his head sheepishly and said, "My mission is to protect Dad!"

"Gurarararar..." Upon hearing this, the white-bearded man burst into laughter, saying, "I'm not so weak that I need your protection. Go ahead and have some fun if you want! The other side can't stay like this forever!"

Jozu was somewhat tempted, but in the end he shook his head and chose to stand beside Whitebeard.

"Dad, isn't the battle going a little too smoothly? What are they up to? They've sent out a lot of strong fighters, but none of them are top-tier. These guys can't possibly stop Reina!" Rakuyo appeared beside Whitebeard at some point and asked with a puzzled look.

"Don't rush, they should be making their move soon! If they can't even handle this situation, then I've overestimated them!" Whitebeard shook his head and replied.

Sure enough, as Whitebeard finished speaking, a transparent energy shield rose from the depths of the island, enveloping not only the entire island but also the port where the Moby Dick was located.

"They're here!" Lakyo exclaimed, his spirits lifting at the sight. "Try contacting the outside world immediately! Also, have someone secretly use the Reverse Summoning Scroll to see if they can summon the Hard Shell!"

"Yes!" The intelligence officer following behind Laco immediately relayed the order.

"Dad, they really made a move!" Lakyo said excitedly.

Whether it was the Big Mom Pirates, who were also among the Four Emperors, or their ally, the Revolutionary Army, they had all fallen victim to this move by the extraterrestrial visitors!

Now that they were prepared, they didn't know if they could defeat the opponent's moves.

Chapter 786 Reina's Strength

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Just as the energy shield rose, several extraterrestrial visitors suddenly appeared. From their aura, it was clear that they were completely different from ordinary extraterrestrial visitors!

"It's finally here!" Reina first looked at the rising transparent energy shield, and then tried to connect with Hard Shell and Liu Liu in his mind. He found that although he could still faintly feel the connection between them, it had become very difficult.

"What do we do now?" Jingudo asked as he approached Reina.

"What else can we do? Crush them!" After saying that, Reina took a step and charged towards the few powerful extraterrestrial visitors who had just appeared.

"Oh!"

"A powerhouse of level 45 or above?"

However, the moment Reina clashed with his opponent, he immediately sensed the opponent's strength.

Among the Whitebeard Pirates members around them, apart from the captains who could hold on for a while, even the ordinary captains couldn't withstand a single blow from the newly appeared members.

"Everyone be careful, these people are not simple, they are basically all around level 40!" Vista shouted, blocking an enemy.

Hearing Vista's words, Reina felt somewhat relieved. Apart from his opponent, who was around level 45, the other enemies were probably around level 40, slightly stronger than the captains who were around level 30, but not strong enough to overwhelm them.

If all of these newly appeared enemies are level 45 or higher, then there's no point in continuing this battle; it would be better to just concede defeat.

"Boom~~~"

Just then, a flame shot into the sky.

Ace, his body engulfed in flames, emerged from the ruins. He had just been knocked away by a single blow from his opponent.

"Everyone... if we don't show some real skills, we'll be looked down upon!" Ace, his body engulfed in flames, said in a deep voice.

As Ace finished speaking, the flames on his body began to change. The flames, which were originally red, became paler and paler until they were almost white.

"Hahaha... It seems Ace is really angry!" Bramanck, the captain of the Sixth Division, said with a loud laugh.

"I will avenge Sabo!" Enveloped in white flames, Ace was like a demon god emerging from hell, unstoppable.

Even the areas previously frozen by Hyōrinmaru were melted away before they even came into contact with Ace's flames.

"Tsk tsk tsk... I really didn't expect that little guy to actually succeed! His talent is truly exceptional!" Reina couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Ace, who had transformed into a demon god of hell.

For some time, Ace felt that his strength had reached a bottleneck and there was no upper limit to improvement, so he went to Reina.

Reina's original advice to him was to strengthen his physical skills and combat experience, and not to rely too much on his Devil Fruit ability.

However, with the outbreak of the North Sea battle, Ace's Logia-type Devil Fruit ability shone brightly, so Reina simply reminded Ace to stop pursuing flashy moves and instead focus on improving the strength of his moves.

As a user of the Flame-Flame Fruit, the best way to increase the strength of one's techniques is to increase the intensity of the flames.

Reina had only mentioned it casually, since everyone on Earth knows the joke about "even dogs wouldn't eat the Flame-Flame Fruit," but he didn't expect Ace to actually do it, turning the red flames into white flames. The intensity of the flames increased significantly, which also greatly increased the strength of all his attacks.

Even if he were to face Sakazuki now, it's really hard to say who would win if they didn't fight.

Moreover, with Ace's outburst, many captains unleashed even greater power than usual, which helped to balance the situation on the field.

"Bang bang bang..."

While Reina was looking around at the battlefield, his opponent launched an attack. However, Reina reacted quickly and defended against all of the opponent's attacks.

"What a nice guy!" Reina said with a light laugh after putting some distance between them.

The other person made a strange gesture towards Reina, seemingly praising Reina's skill.

After exchanging glances, the two charged at each other again, and at this moment, Reina had already picked up Hyōrinmaru.

If you're not on your guard when facing an enemy of this caliber, you won't stand a chance.

"Bankai!" Hyōrinmaru activated Bankai mode directly, and with the addition of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Reina appeared powerful and strange.

"Boom boom boom..." The surrounding battle seemed to have no effect on the two of them.

"Bang bang bang..."

But in an instant, as if they had planned it, the two attacked each other at the same time. Their movements were so fast that ordinary people around them couldn't even see their shadows.

"Hmm?" Standing at the very back of the battlefield, Reina's battle immediately attracted Whitebeard's attention.

"It seems the first mate has met his match!" Joz said in a deep voice. "It's at least a level 45 or higher expert, otherwise they wouldn't be able to fight the first mate to this extent. Perhaps it's that energy shield user!"

"No rush, let's see first! And we should have faith in Reina! His strength has already surpassed mine!" Whitebeard grinned and said with a smile.

Joz said in disbelief, "Impossible, right? Is Reina now even more powerful than Dad?"

"That's right, I'm talking about me at my peak! Not me now. Right now, that kid probably wouldn't even be interested in fighting! Gurararara..." Whitebeard said with a loud laugh.

Jozu looked like he'd seen a ghost. He might believe that Reiner was stronger than Whitebeard was now, but he definitely didn't believe that Whitebeard would say Reiner was stronger than Whitebeard at his peak.

"In a large-scale naval battle at sea, his destructive power may not be as great as mine, but in a one-on-one fight, even at my peak, I wouldn't be able to say I'm 100% certain of victory!" Whitebeard said seriously, seeing Jozu's expression.

"Does Reina have some killer move we don't know about?" Joz asked suspiciously.

"Don't think that his two weapons can only transform into human form! Once those two weapons merge with him, the power Reina unleashes is terrifying, which is why I entrusted the base to him with peace of mind! Even if the enemy's energy shield experts attack our base, they can't achieve a complete victory without defeating Reina!" Whitebeard said with a smile, "He's just worried about everyone being here, so he can't unleash his full power. He's afraid of hurting us! If he were alone, he could unleash even greater power!"

Joz swallowed hard and said, "Could it be... that his strength has already surpassed level fifty?"

"I don't think so, but it's definitely already on that edge!" Whitebeard shook his head and replied.

Chapter 787 Fierce Battle

Reina, who was fighting a powerful alien, was unaware of Whitebeard's assessment of him. If he had heard it, he would have been greatly surprised.

Because the fusion of Hyōrinmaru and Senbonzakura is his ultimate move, which he has never used before.

However, at this moment, Reina, who is wielding the Bankai Hyōrinmaru, is fighting back and forth with his opponent, and it is unlikely that the outcome will be decided so easily in the short term.

Meanwhile, the surrounding captains, with their numerical advantage, were able to slightly suppress the opponent's strongmen. With Ace's explosive power, as long as Reina could hold off his opponent, victory would eventually belong to the Whitebeard Pirates.

But at that moment, from the depths of the island, a visitor from outer space dressed in a black robe slowly appeared. He glanced at Reina, who was fighting against their strongest warrior, and with a slight smirk, he vanished from the spot.

"Huh?" Reina, who was fighting the enemy, suddenly felt a sense of vigilance, but before he could make a move, he saw a man in black robes appear in front of him and kick him in the chest.

"Oh!"
