Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

However, Reina easily blocked it, and it seemed that he was not hurt at all.

"Here you go!" In the instant he blocked the opponent's kick, Reina threw a punch at the opponent. Although it was also blocked, it still sent the opponent flying a distance.

"Hehe...does this feel familiar? Being sent flying by your own power...that's the feeling!" Reina said with a strange laugh.

With the upgrade of his Black Emperor abilities, he now finds it much easier to fight his enemies.

As long as it doesn't exceed the Black Emperor's absorption limit, or if it's attacked multiple times at the same time, the Black Emperor can absorb the vast majority of impacts. This is one of the reasons why Reina has been able to suppress his opponent throughout the battle.

"Damn it~ This guy I've encountered is really troublesome! He can actually absorb my energy and then use it against me!" In the communication interface of the extraterrestrial visitor, this powerful being who uses an energy barrier couldn't help but complain to his compatriots.

"Oh? It can actually absorb damage, but there must be a limit, right?"

"The ability to absorb damage? That's indeed quite rare. If I had such an ability, wouldn't I be invincible? Hahaha..."

"Even you can't break through their defenses? That's a bit tricky. We're under attack from them too. Otherwise, I'd go over and team up with you; we should be able to deal with them!"

Within the communication interface, rows of text appeared, all belonging to powerful individuals of similar strength to him.

"Why don't you try breaking through from one point to the other?"

"Or, multiple attacks should be able to break through the opponent's defenses!"

Some people were also giving him advice, suggesting that he try to break through Reina's defenses.

"Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you guys! Just now, while I was fighting, I sensed that the level 47 expert on the other side made a move. It's going to be difficult for us to defeat them in a short time. How's the situation on your side?" The energy shield expert glanced at the communication interface and quickly replied.

“There are two level 45 experts here, but the strength we have gathered is enough to hold them off, but that’s all we can do. To defeat them… we’d have to send more experts over!” After he asked, a fellow countryman immediately replied, “You should focus on fighting and finish them off as soon as possible so you can come and help us!”

The energy shield expert was about to say something more, but Reina's attack had already arrived, so he had no choice but to focus on dealing with Reina and stop asking about his comrades.

"Hmm?" Just as Reina continued his offensive, he discovered that the opponent's attack pattern had changed. It seemed that the opponent was trying to concentrate all its power on one point in order to break through his Black Emperor's ability.

In Reina's view, this was a complete waste of effort, after all, his Black Emperor ability was not so easily broken!

But after thinking it over carefully, he immediately pretended that his defense had been breached and then retreated a distance.

Sure enough, seeing Reina retreat and his defense broken, the opponent's moves were no longer scattered, but concentrated on one point, in order to not give Reina a chance to counterattack. Reina also pretended that the opponent had seen through him, making the situation more unfavorable to him.

Just as the opponent pressed forward step by step, Reina suddenly chose to withstand the opponent's attack head-on, and then launched a counterattack.

"Oh!"

"Ok?"

"Bang~!"

When the opponent's fist slammed into Reina, he showed a surprised expression for a moment, because he could feel that his attack did not seem to break through the enemy's defense, as if he hit cotton. This gave him a very bad feeling.

Sure enough, before he could react, Reina grinned and launched a counterattack in an instant.

"Hey~"

"Boom~~~"

Reina smiled smugly as he watched his enemy being sent flying with a single blow.

It was quite unexpected that an opponent of this caliber would be fooled by such a petty trick.

Even if the attack just now couldn't kill the opponent, it would definitely have seriously injured them. So Reina didn't wait and chose to pursue after knocking the opponent away.

"Then your journey... comes to an end!" Looking at the enemy lying on the ground, Reina swung the Hyōrinmaru in his hand, and countless ice spikes flew directly towards the opponent.

"Splash!"

But just as Reina was about to strike his opponent, the opponent waved his hand, and a transparent circular energy shield enveloped his entire body, blocking Reina's attack.

Chapter 790 Retreat

"Dad!" Rakuyo, who was watching the battlefield, seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up at the sky. He saw that the transparent energy shield that had been covering their heads had disappeared, so he immediately shouted loudly to Whitebeard.

"Gurararara... Looks like that kid Reina really did it!" Whitebeard looked at the bright sky and couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Men! Reina has finished his job, the rest is up to us!"

"Wow!"

The disappearance of the energy shield greatly boosted the morale of the Whitebeard Pirates, while the extraterrestrial visitors were somewhat panicked. However, despite their panic, they did not panic and were already blocking the Whitebeard Pirates' attack.

Seeing this, Whitebeard gripped the naginata with both hands, and some transparent energy began to gather on the blade.

"Run! Dad's about to make his move!"

Upon seeing Whitebeard's actions, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates quickly moved away from directly in front of him, creating an attack route for him.

"Boom boom boom..."

With a swing of his naginata, Whitebeard flung out a transparent energy ball, clearing the path in front of him.

"Gurarararar... Launch a full-scale attack!" Whitebeard roared, raising his naginata.

"Oh~~"

"Kill those scum!"

"Charge!"

"kill!"

The Whitebeard Pirates' commanders, leading their own combat squads and other pirate crews under their command, launched a general offensive against the enemy.

Meanwhile, the extraterrestrial visitors, under the cover of their powerful allies, began a slow retreat.

On the other side, Reina was somewhat taken aback as he watched the fleeing enemy.

Because the opponent had just used an energy shield to block his attack, although the energy shield covering the island disappeared as a result, he really didn't expect the opponent to have such an ability.

Although he defeated his opponent through his own means, judging from the opponent's final display of power, he did not use his full strength. This was because the opponent's ability had been hovering over the island the entire time. If it weren't for this reason, and if the opponent had used his own ability during their battle, the outcome would have been very uncertain.

"Boom boom boom..." Just as Reina was about to give chase after the fleeing enemy, he sensed movement from Whitebeard's side and abandoned the pursuit, heading directly towards Whitebeard's location.

"Big Brother!" Reina quickly spotted the white-bearded man in the crowd.

"Hmm, have you taken care of the enemy?" Whitebeard asked with a light laugh.

Reina shook his head and said, "No, the opponent used his ability at the end to block my attack, but he was seriously injured. At least for this battle, he was no longer able to do anything!"

"Oh? You actually managed to escape from your grasp?" Whitebeard asked in surprise.

“Hmm!” Reina nodded and said, “The opponent is very strong. If he had used his abilities to fight me earlier, it would have been hard to say who would have won!”

Upon hearing this, Whitebeard fell into deep thought.

He always felt that something was wrong.

While the opponent displayed formidable strength, could such a lineup truly cause the Big Mom Pirates to crumble? Could it force the Revolutionary Army to retreat in disarray?

"Big brother? Is something wrong?" Reina asked curiously when he saw Whitebeard deep in thought.

"Hmm!" Whitebeard nodded, voicing his doubts.

“Indeed, although the other side has two experts above level 45, and the one using the energy shield is even close to level 50, with the strength of Long and Sabo, even if they were defeated, they shouldn't have been beaten so badly!” Reina nodded and said, “So, Big Brother suspects... that the other side has some other conspiracy?”

Just as Reina finished speaking, a transparent energy wall suddenly appeared on the battlefield between the Whitebeard Pirates and the extraterrestrial visitors, separating the two sides.

Then, the extraterrestrial visitors used those energy walls to begin a rapid retreat.

Reina and Whitebeard exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

Because the enemy is not yet in a state of complete defeat, there is no need to use your abilities to help these extraterrestrial visitors retreat when they are already severely injured!

Because in Reina and Whitebeard's view, there was absolutely no need for extraterrestrial visitors with immortal bodies to do this. Even if these people died here, they could be resurrected after some time. Now, they could not only kill some members of the Whitebeard Pirates, but also stop the Whitebeard Pirates' advance.

There's absolutely no need to waste the energy of those powerful individuals, because their recovery from injury would certainly be much more troublesome.

But now, the other side is willing to expend their strength to rescue these people, which makes Reina and Whitebeard somewhat confused.

“Perhaps… they weren’t defeated by us, but are in a hurry to go somewhere else and need more troops!” Reina suddenly thought of a possibility and said softly.

"It seems that besides Ming, other forces have also launched an attack on them!" Whitebeard smiled slightly, already having the answer in his heart.

There is probably no one else besides Kaido of the Beasts Pirates who has such strength and would act without any scruples, and if Kaido takes action, Big Mom is very likely to follow suit.

This may be why the other side was in a hurry to retreat.

Although the other side may have other reasons, if they want to retreat, then they cannot let them have their way.

So Reina and Whitebeard exchanged a glance and simultaneously assumed a fighting stance.

"Clear the way ahead, the wounded go back to the ship to rest, and the ship's doctor treat the wounded!" Without saying a word, seeing Reyna and Whitebeard's actions, Laco took over command and ordered everyone to make way for Whitebeard and Reyna to attack.

"Ice Dragon Whirlwind Tail - Skybreaker!" Reina, wielding the Bankai Hyōrinmaru, unleashed a slash imbued with the power of ice, charging towards the opponent's energy shield.

Whitebeard never used to announce his moves, so he simply swung his naginata forcefully, and a transparent energy ball crashed into the energy shield.

"Oh!"

"Squeaky..."

Reina's slash struck the energy shield first, delivering a powerful impact and the accompanying icy energy freezing the entire area in front of the shield.

In the distance, the extraterrestrial visitor, who was struggling to maintain the energy shield, spat out a mouthful of blood, but was still barely able to maintain his abilities.

"boom!"

"Splash splash splash~~"

Immediately following was Whitebeard's attack, which vanished the moment his energy ball collided with the energy shield.

However, the energy shield shattered into pieces a moment later.

In the distance, among the group of extraterrestrial visitors, a powerful being who maintained his energy spat out another mouthful of blood, then collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Chapter 791 Negotiation

"Attack! We can't let those extraterrestrials retreat!" Seeing the energy shield blocking both sides disappear, the white-bearded man brandished his naginata and shouted loudly.

Although the captains didn't know what had happened, they had to obey Whitebeard's orders, so they charged back towards the retreating extraterrestrials.

"Dad, they've already retreated. Is there any need for us to continue pursuing them?" Lakyo asked, looking puzzled.

Whitebeard explained his and Reyna's guesses, and Lacko nodded, indicating that they indeed had no need to pursue.

However, the battle here was already a victory for the Whitebeard Pirates, and there was no need for Whitebeard to pursue them. So, Lakuyo simply told Whitebeard to wait here and leave the pursuit to them.

What should have been a one-sided war turned into a closely fought battle under the attacks of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Beasts Pirates.
