Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

From that day on, the crew noticed that Reina seemed to have gone mad. Every day, in addition to his regular work, he would cultivate on his own, and sometimes he would even go to the sky island to cultivate alone because of other people's disturbances.

With Reina's full support, Dr. Asie's construction on the Sky Island has become increasingly robust. All the aging equipment and wiring have been replaced, and the housing on the Sky Island has been rebuilt.

Even the breeding farm that Reina and Olga had previously considered has been built, but the number of animals inside is not large, so Dr. Asie does not allow the crew to eat them now.

Furthermore, inspired by Reina, he developed a hot air balloon-like device to transport people to and from the floating islands, allowing them to descend from time to time.

"Rena~ The Navy is here again!" Rena, who was training, was interrupted by a member who had been stationed on the sky island for a long time.

They have gradually gotten used to living on the sky island, and thanks to Dr. Assie's invention, it is now much easier for them to get off the sky island.

"It's that Zephyr guy again? He's really got his eye on me?" Reina sheathed his sword and asked with a frown.

"This... judging from the style of the naval warship, it doesn't seem to be Admiral Zephyr!"

"Oh? Never mind, I'll go down first. Who cares who it is? I might as well test the effects of my training these past few days!" Reina raised an eyebrow, and immediately perked up when he heard that it wasn't Zefa.

"Huh? Why did you get down here?" Marco was at the helm when Reina landed on the pirate ship.

"It's just the navy coming again!" Reina shrugged and replied, "Where's my brother?"

"Dad's taking a nap. Is it that Zefa guy again?" Marco asked, squinting his eyes in displeasure.

He was starting to get annoyed; Zefa was like a shadow, always following them around.

"I don't know. Judging from the style of the warship, it doesn't seem to be a Zefa warship!" Reina shook his head and said.

"Then just ignore it!"

“No, slow down. I’ve recently gained some insights from my cultivation, and I want to give it a try!” Reina shook his head and said.

Upon hearing this, Marco slowed down the pirate ship, and sure enough, a naval warship soon appeared on the sea behind them.

"Stop immediately, pirate ships ahead! This is Rear Admiral Klaus's warship. You are ordered to surrender immediately!" The two sides hadn't even gotten close when the other side started shouting at them.

"Heh heh... a Rear Admiral in the Navy branch? Bad luck... that guy won't be around anymore!" Reina, standing at the stern, said with a sly laugh, "Jozu... come on, give me some power!"

Marco rolled his eyes and said, "Can you stop acting so stupid?"

"Then can you stop mimicking me?" Reina glanced at Marco and replied unhappily.

Joz, on the other hand, walked over with an honest-looking face, and without saying a word, his entire right arm turned into a diamond, and then he punched Reina.

"One more punch! Are you still hungry or what? How about we go to Sky Island tonight? There are a lot more wild animals in the farms there!" Reina said with a relaxed expression, blocking Joz's fist with one hand.

"I knew it was you! The Doctor almost got angry last time. We finally managed to get a little more, and you stole it all!" Marco rolled his eyes and said.

"Don't talk like you've never stolen a bite! Besides, I always invited Olga along, you guys didn't!"

"Who said that? I just didn't call you!"

"What? Well, Marco, I never thought you were this kind of person!"

Joz punched Reina in the face, but Reina didn't react at all because he was busy arguing with Marco.

"Want more?" Joz asked in a deep voice.

“No need!” Reina waved his hand and said, “More energy would be a waste. Watch closely, here comes my new cultivation result!”

After saying that, Reina stood at the stern and began to gather his strength.

"Gathering Strength to Freeze a Thousand Miles!"

A slash carrying a blue light headed straight for the naval warship not far away, and the seawater it stirred up turned into ice crystals, which looked quite beautiful in the sunlight.

"This...this..." Marco and Jozu stared at Reina's slash, their mouths agape in astonishment.

"A warship...a ​​warship has been split in two?"

Chapter 70 Hot Spring Pavilion

"Thump~~ Thump~~"

Without an explosion, the warship, which had been cleaved in two by Reina, sank directly into the sea like two frozen blocks of iron.

Although the warship wasn't frozen in hatred, the fact that it was split in two gave Marco and Jozu that feeling.

"Is this the result of your training? You've gone from a martial artist to a swordsman?" Marco asked in surprise.

“No! I still focus on physical training, and swordsmanship... is just something I practice as a side skill!” Reina said with a smile.

He has an advantage that others don't, and that is the system!

Others have to spend a lot of time and effort to master swordsmanship, but for him, physical skills and swordsmanship can both be mastered as long as he has enough time. This is because once he reaches a certain level of proficiency, he can use upgrade scrolls to level up, which is completely different from ordinary people.

Upon hearing Reina's answer, Marco and Jozu exchanged bewildered glances. Such a swordsmanship attack was merely incidental? How powerful were his physical skills then?

On the roof of the ship, the white-bearded man, holding a gourd of wine, took a big gulp of wine and returned to the ship with a smile on his face.

He had already noticed that when Reina made his move, a faint layer of energy gathered on Muramasa, proving that Reina had begun to figure out how to gather energy on his body and even on his weapon.

A few days later, the Whitebeard Pirates arrived at a large island, where they exchanged all the treasure they had previously acquired for Berries.

Reina also sold his three-piece gold set. As for the amber wine set, after Whitebeard saw it, it is now quietly placed in his room.

After purchasing a considerable amount of supplies, Whitebeard decided to rest here for a day. After all, this place was very large and prosperous, and they could have a good rest here.

"Alright, all done! This way we can preserve more food!" Reina clapped his hands and said with a smile.

He just installed the cold storage he bought directly in the basement of the Sky Island to store perishable food, something he had wanted to do for a long time.

“Rainer, are you going to the island now or stay here?” Dr. Asie asked, standing to the side.

"Is there something you need, Doctor?"

“No, I want to ask you to buy something for me!” Dr. Assie shook his head and said.

“I think you should buy it yourself, Doctor. You’ve been staying on the island doing research all this time, it’s time to go out and get some fresh air. Olga is on the island too, wouldn’t it be better to go and keep her company?” Reina said after thinking for a moment.

"Alright!" Dr. Asie was taken aback, then smiled and nodded, leaving the Sky Island with the guards assigned to him by Whitebeard.

"Phew~ Let's finish today's work first!" Reina stretched and then began his cultivation.

He still had an hour of physical training left to complete today, and he also had an hour left before his work started. After finishing, he planned to go soak in the hot springs on the island, which he had heard were very nice.

"Yo~ Reina, you've finally arrived? I told you the hot springs here are great!" Hansen immediately waved to Reina as he entered the hot spring resort.

"What's wrong with Marco and Jozu?" Reina asked curiously, looking at the two listless people beside him.

"Don't you know? The hot springs here are supposedly made of seawater! So they're not very friendly to those with abilities!" Lakyo said with a smirk.

"I mean... are you guys stupid? Soaking in a hot spring is supposed to be enjoyable, why make yourself go through all that trouble? Don't bother!" Reina was speechless.

“You don’t understand… this feeling of powerlessness combined with the hot spring is simply… perfect!” Marco replied with a look of enjoyment, his already drooping eyes half-open.

"ill!"

Reina found a comfortable spot to soak in the hot springs, too lazy to pay attention to those idiots.

Gradually, Reina, soaking in the hot spring, actually fell asleep, and slept quite comfortably. If it weren't for the sound of the shower next to him, he felt he could have continued sleeping.

"Who is it? Can't you see someone sleeping here? Taking a bath here?" Reina squinted and turned his head to look.

"Ah~~~~"

A woman's voice rang out, instantly startling Reina out of his drowsiness.

"You...you...who are you? Why are you here?" The woman covered her body with a towel, then quickly sat down and asked in a terrified expression.

"Me? I've been sleeping here all along, haven't I? By the way... what time is it now? I feel hungry!" Reina looked around and found that the crew members around him were gone, but he was still in the same place and had not been moved.

"Eh? Is...is that so? I'm sorry! My eyesight isn't very good, so I might not have seen you before! It's dinner time now, so...that's why I chose to come to the public bathhouse at this time, because if a woman comes to the public bathhouse...the owner will give her a free ride!" The woman blushed and said with an embarrassed expression.

"Ah~ Ah~ It's the boss's strategy! The public bathhouse will only do better business when women come here!" Reina nodded in agreement, looking like the boss was a shrewd businessman.

"Um... if you don't mind, I have some food here that you can have!" Ignoring that her earlier overreaction had frightened Reina, the woman wrapped a towel around herself and placed a small dish of food next to Reina.

Reina glanced at it; it was just ordinary food, but it was very well prepared, so he ate it without any hesitation.

"It tastes good, thank you for your hospitality!" Reina stopped after eating two.

He realized that since she chose to come here to soak in the hot springs at this time, it meant she probably didn't have much money, otherwise she wouldn't need to come to a free public bathhouse.

"Sorry! It was so delicious, I accidentally ate too much!" Reina scratched the back of his head and said apologetically.

"It's alright, you can eat more if you like, I still have some here!" the woman said with a smile, covering her mouth.

Seeing that the other person had taken out another packet, Reina continued eating.

The two ate and chatted casually. Reina smacked his lips a few times, feeling that something was missing; a bottle of wine would have made it perfect.

"What's wrong?" The woman noticed Reina's unusual behavior and asked in confusion.

"It's alright, I'll go ask the owner for a bottle of wine. It just feels like something's missing when you're soaking in a hot spring without any wine!" Reina said, getting up from the hot spring and walking towards the door.

A little while later, Reina came in carrying two bottles of red wine and some food. The spa also sold food, and what Reina had eaten earlier was not enough to fill his stomach.

“I just ate your food, now let’s try the hot spring resort!” Reina opened the bottle of red wine, poured himself a glass, placed the food next to the woman, and said with a smile.

"This...this...no need, this is fine with me!" The woman hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said.

“No need to be polite. I didn’t refuse your food earlier, did I? Would you like some red wine?” Reina smiled and pointed to the wine glass in his hand, then asked the woman, “By the way, may I ask your name? My name is Reina!”

"Oh? Excuse me, my name is Lia, Emilia Lia!" Lia said somewhat shyly.

"Ah~ do as you please, I want to sleep a little longer!" After eating and drinking some red wine, Reina felt sleepy again, so he found a comfortable position to continue sleeping.

Lia peeked at Reina and found that he was really asleep, so she carefully began to wash up.

After washing up, Lia saw that Reina showed no signs of waking up, so she didn't leave. At that moment, she was also a little hungry, so she ate some of the food Reina had given her.

"Hiccup..." After finishing her food, Lia felt a little thirsty, so she drank some red wine. Gradually, her eyes started to droop, so she found a place not far from Reina and fell asleep.

"Hey... what's going on here?"

"I don't know! This is what I saw as soon as I came in!"

When Reina was half asleep, he heard what sounded like a lot of people talking. He frowned and opened his eyes.

Before he could even see who was speaking, he felt something pressing down on his chest. Looking down, he saw that Liya, who had been talking to him earlier, was lying on his chest, fast asleep.

"What's going on?" Reina instantly snapped out of it and looked up at the door.

Sure enough, Hansen, Lakyo, and a few other gossipy guys were hiding by the door, constantly watching what was going on.

"Lia... wake up! Lia!" Reina nudged Lia's shoulder, trying to wake her up.
