Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

After the fish-men finalized their plan, they immediately informed Namur, who was waiting for news.

When Namur heard that the reinforcements leading the team were actually Princess Shirahoshi, he even doubted whether he had misheard.

However, after Shark Star's explanation, Namuer also understood why Fishman Island made such a decision.

“I understand, Your Majesty Shark Star, please rest assured, I will protect Princess White Star with my life!” Namuel said firmly.

As a fish-man, Namur was well aware of what Princess Shirahoshi meant to Fish-Man Island.

At this critical moment, Fishman Island's willingness to send Princess Shirahoshi to provide support is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation for the Whitebeard Pirates.

Upon receiving the news, Namur thought for a moment and then went directly to the Naga Queen's residence, where he recounted the news that Princess Shirahoshi had led reinforcements.

Although the Naga were initially surprised, they quickly grasped the key point and didn't even need Namur to explain.

“I understand, let’s go! Let’s go find Dad!” Naga nodded and said.

He knew why Namur had come to her first; after all, this was a big deal for Fishman Island, and it would be more effective if the Naga Queen herself explained it to Whitebeard.

Seeing that the Naga Queen didn't ask for any explanation, Namur understood the thoughts of Fishman Island and himself. He couldn't help but sigh, "It's fortunate that Reina led you to Fishman Island back then, otherwise the loss to Fishman Island would have been too great!"

Naga simply smiled at Namuel's praise and didn't say anything more.

When she was still alone, she was filled with hatred for Fishman Island. But after the misunderstanding was cleared up, she finally understood why her ancestors would rather have their entire race wiped out than let Fishman Island be destroyed.

When Namur and Naga found Whitebeard, he was on the phone with Reyner. Upon seeing the two, Whitebeard immediately waved and said, "Tell Reyner about the situation here! Don't overlook any details. Reyner plans to raid the extraterrestrials' base on the seabed!"

Upon hearing this, the two didn't waste any words. Naga stepped forward and said, "Mr. Reina, please pause your actions!"

"Why?" Reina's surprised voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

“Because Fishman Island has already reinforced its troops, once the reinforcements arrive, we will launch the attack. Firstly, we have more people and a greater chance of success. Secondly, Fishman Island has decided that Princess Shirahoshi will lead the team to provide support. With Shirahoshi's ability to summon Sea Kings, plus my ability to summon sea monsters, I believe that we should not suffer too many casualties when we break through their stronghold!” Naga’s words were full of confidence and pride. This was the sacrifice and decision made by Fishman Island, which she loved and respected.

"Idiot!" But unlike the praise she believed from Reina, Reina on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, after hearing their plan, actually said angrily, "Whether it's a Sea King or a sea monster, aren't they living beings? No, they are even better than ordinary warriors. Not only are they strong, but they also completely obey your orders, so why are you sacrificing them here?"

"Naga, listen to my advice! Although you now possess the ability to summon banshees, it is the culmination of nearly a thousand years of your Naga race's accumulated power. Don't let this ability die out with you! If you can't treat them as allies, then forget your abilities, at least don't use them as cannon fodder!"

Reina's words were like a wake-up call, leaving Naga completely stunned.

Chapter 830 Reina's Opposition

After hearing Reina's words, Naga realized how wrong she had been. So, after thanking Reina, she said again, "Mr. Reina, rest assured, although I didn't consider the sea monsters as partners before, I didn't intend to use them as cannon fodder either. They were just going to lead the charge, and then the Sea King's army from Fishman Island would launch a general offensive, intending to take down the enemy's stronghold in one fell swoop!"

"The extraterrestrial visitors probably don't know that we've already gathered their intelligence, so they won't be very prepared. As long as we're fast enough, we can take down their stronghold in one fell swoop!"

After hearing Naga's words, everyone fell silent. This was tantamount to Fishman Island attacking the underwater stronghold on its own, which was unacceptable to both Whitebeard and Reyna.

After a long pause, Reina finally spoke, "Naga, have you thought about this? Those outposts were originally built to house teleportation points. If they are attacked, the extraterrestrials from the other outposts will rush to their aid immediately. Are you planning to sacrifice the lives of Fishman Island to fill the gaps?"

He believed that given the Naga's character, if they discovered enemy reinforcements during battle, they would never retreat but would continue to attack until they achieved their objective, or until they realized they couldn't conquer the enemy at all, at which point they would withdraw.

After all, this was the first time Fishman Island had fought against extraterrestrial visitors with its own strength, so she naturally wanted to perform well.

Naga, whose thoughts had been exposed, blushed. If Reina's words were true, this battle would likely severely weaken Fishman Island, and they would not be able to achieve victory. Even if they did win, it would be a Pyrrhic victory, and they would not be able to make Fishman Island a focus of the world's attention!

“Mr. Reina, what should I do?” Realizing the gap between herself and Reina, Naga humbly asked for advice.

"Notify me when your reinforcements arrive! I'll launch a feint attack first to draw the extraterrestrials' attention. Once they've deployed their forces here, you can launch your final assault. That should be much more effective!" Reina thought for a moment and then said, "Actually, it would be better if you launched the feint attack, but I think your Fish-Man Island has sent Shirahoshi this time. You can't just want a simple feint attack, right? Are you planning to make the world re-evaluate your Fish-Man Island? In that case, if I launch the feint attack and create an opportunity for you, that shouldn't be a problem!"

Whitebeard knew he couldn't outmaneuver Reina's scheming, so he didn't say a word and simply watched their conversation.

“But… wouldn’t Mr. Reina be in danger? If something happens to him, we couldn’t afford to compensate him even if we sold our entire Fishman Island!” Naga joked, expressing her concerns.

"Don't worry, I'll retreat after drawing enough fire for you. As long as you're fast enough, I'll be fine! Miu has seen the teleporter before, so your primary objective is it. If you manage to seize it, you'll have accomplished a great feat. The Doctor's research hasn't made much progress because he only has one teleporter. He's told me countless times to find a way to get him another one! Only after you succeed can I leave more safely!" Reina said with a smile.

Naga and Namur exchanged a glance, and seeing the other nod, they took a deep breath and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Reina, Fishman Island will do its utmost!"

"No, no need for that. If we find too many guards, we should retreat immediately! Miu, you should know that every life in our Whitebeard Pirates is precious, and so is Fishman Island. There's always a way. If it doesn't work this time, we'll try again next time. As long as we're alive, there's always a way!" Reina quickly advised.

"Don't worry, I know what to do. Find the teleporter and deactivate it immediately. Once the teleporter is no longer useful, we can deal with the remaining extraterrestrial visitors slowly! If we can't seize the machine, I will destroy it immediately!" Namuer nodded and said.

"That's good! Then let me know when your reinforcements arrive. Also, brother... has there been any news from Marco? I reckon the outcome there should be close to certain!" Reina said with a smile after hearing Namur's words.

"There's no news yet, but Thatch said Marco has arrived. However, after dropping off Nojiko and the others at the camp, he left alone. I guess he's probably going to find the Straw Hat Pirates! Ace is keeping an eye on this matter and will let you know as soon as there's any news!" Whitebeard said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll hang up now. Those little rascals over here want to drink with me! Hahahaha..." Reina finished speaking and hung up the Den Den Mushi with a loud laugh.

Whitebeard, after putting away the Den Den Mushi, looked at Naga and Namur.

"What are your plans this time, sending out all the elite forces from Fishman Island?" Whitebeard asked Naga.

He needs to know his allies' plans in order to make better arrangements. For example, if he can meet the demands of the Revolutionary Army, the two sides can continue to cooperate. If the other party's demands are too high and he cannot meet them, then Whitebeard would not have cooperated with you in the first place.

"I don't know!" Naga honestly shook her head and replied.

"Didn't Neptune or Shark Star explain this to you?" Whitebeard frowned and asked.

“Father, it was I who contacted Fishman Island!” Namur stepped forward and said directly.

"Oh?" Whitebeard looked at Namur in surprise. In his opinion, Naga was the best person to contact Fishman Island. Why was it Namur who contacted Fishman Island?

“Because I know that if I contact Fishman Island, Shark Star will definitely send reinforcements, but… I don’t know if it’s right to drag Fishman Island into the quagmire of war!” Before Namuel could answer, Naga stepped forward and explained, “In this incident, only our Fishman race is in a convenient position, but I know that if I don’t bring it up, Father definitely won’t take the initiative to contact Fishman Island!”

Upon hearing Naga's words, Whitebeard suddenly realized what was going on.

In the past, Naga was always the one being lectured in front of Reina, so Whitebeard subconsciously thought that Naga's abilities were not strong. But now he knew that he had underestimated his opponent, who was not the kind of brute who could only summon sea monsters to fight.

"I see. So, does Fishman Island have any demands for this military action?" Whitebeard asked, looking at Namur.

Namur shook his head and said, "His Majesty Shark Star said that even if Fishman Island doesn't need to become famous, as long as they know about this, they will definitely come back to help the Whitebeard Pirates. It's just that the Whitebeard Pirates need help now, and Fishman Island should also let the world get to know it again, so that's why Princess Shirahoshi was sent here!"

Chapter 831 Marco's Worries

While the Whitebeard Pirates' frontline troops were waiting for reinforcements from Fishman Island, Marco had already led the Straw Hat crew to the Whitebeard Pirates' base.

However, when they arrived, everyone in the Straw Hat crew was injured, and even Marco was covered in bandages.

"What happened to Marco? Did the Navy attack you?" Sachi, who was greeting Marco on the island, asked in surprise when he saw that even Marco was injured.

Marco smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not the Navy, it's Katakuri and King!"

"So it was them! No wonder. Kaido and Big Mom have been eyeing the One Piece for more than just a day or two. Now that you've obtained it, they're bound to try and kidnap you!" Thatch said to the Straw Hat crew with a smile.

"Nami!" Just then, Nojiko, carrying the child, and Bellemere Agen arrived at the port.

"Nojiko! Bellemere! Gen!" Upon seeing her family, Nami immediately abandoned her injured companions and happily ran towards Nojiko and the others.

"Nojiko, is this your child?" Nami asked happily, looking at the child in Nojiko's arms.

"Yes! He's my and Marco's child! My father wanted to see him, so he brought him from Crescent Moon Island!" Nojiko said with a smile.

"Oh? Whitebeard is on the island too?" Luffy only woke up from his slumber when they were almost at the port. After the battle, he needed enough sleep and food to recover.

So although his injuries haven't fully healed yet, his mobility is no longer affected at all.

"No, Dad and Reina are still on the front lines, but Ace and Reina are quite worried about you. They ask about you almost every day!" Sachi said with a smile.

"By the way, Mr. Chef, do you know Sabo? He's my brother. I have his Vivre Card. Robin said that when a Vivre Card shrinks, it means the owner of the Vivre Card is injured. I wonder how he is doing now?" At this moment, Luffy suddenly remembered Sabo, took Sabo's Vivre Card out of his straw hat, and handed it to Thatch.

"Luffy, he's not just any ordinary cook, he's the fourth division commander and head chef of our Whitebeard Pirates, Thatch!" Marco's face darkened as he remembered how Luffy addressed him, and he immediately introduced him.

"Okay! I understand, Pineapple Head!" Luffy nodded seriously and replied.

That single shout of "Pineapple Head!" was enough to defeat Marco.

"Don't worry! As the army's second-in-command, Sabo will be fine. However, the army suffered a major defeat last time and later helped us defend our base, so the losses were indeed considerable. Their officers were all seriously injured, so they are currently recuperating. Once they have recovered, they will definitely continue their operations in the North Sea! Ace has also visited Sabo several times and heard that his injuries are recovering very well!" Sachi said with a smile.

"Really? That's great!" Luffy grinned and said, "I knew he'd be alright!"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Sachi had someone take Cao Mao and his group to rest, saying that they would hold a banquet to celebrate after they had rested.

Nami, on the other hand, went directly to Marco's house with Noji and the others, since they were family.

After the Straw Hat crew left, Thatch asked Marco, "How are Katakuri and King? You didn't kill them, did you? Given the situation in the North Blue, we can't let them get killed!"

"You overestimate me, don't you? I might be able to defeat one of them, but I'm not confident I can kill them, let alone two!" Marco rolled his eyes and replied.

"Then how did you get so badly injured? You didn't see Nojiko's eyes just now, they were terrifying!" Sachi patted his chest and said with lingering fear.

Marco's lips twitched, and he said, "There's nothing I can do. When I found them, they had just fought a major battle with the Navy, and almost everyone was injured. According to them, if it weren't for Shanks' help, they would probably have been captured by the Navy! So when facing Katakuri and King, I had to spare some attention to protect them, which naturally led to this situation! If they weren't strong enough, they probably wouldn't have been able to repel those two troublesome guys!"

"Alright, hurry up and send a message to Dad and Reina. They've been waiting for your news! I heard there were some problems at the front. I wonder if they've been resolved yet!" Sachi patted Marco on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Marco stopped smiling, nodded, and began contacting Whitebeard.

After Marco finished explaining what had happened on his end, he asked, "I heard from Sachi that you've run into trouble over there?"

"It is indeed a bit troublesome. Reina has found a new base of extraterrestrial visitors on the seabed. They have set up a teleportation point on the seabed!" Whitebeard said with a headache.

"The seabed?" Marco frowned and said, "That is indeed a bit troublesome. Apart from the fish-men, none of us are good at fighting underwater!"

“That’s right, so after the fish-men learned of the news, they sent reinforcements, led by the mermaid princess Shirahoshi!” Whitebeard nodded and replied.

"The mermaid princess? Is that the mermaid princess Reina mentioned? It seems Fishman Island is planning to take advantage of this opportunity!" Marco exclaimed.

"They came to support us, and whatever they do, we must help them because we are allies! And I asked Naga and Namur, and they said that Fishman Island just wants the world to get to know them again!" Whitebeard said with a light laugh.

After saying that, he also explained Reina's plan.

“Reina’s approach is correct. If Fishman Island fails this time or suffers too much loss, they will not achieve their goal at all. However, in this case... wouldn’t Reina himself be in too much danger?” Marco said with some concern.

“There’s no other way, we can’t fight underwater, he has to rely on himself!” Whitebeard shook his head and said, “Besides, the reinforcements sent from Fishman Island are enough, as long as we move fast enough, he won’t be in danger! I will arrange for people to launch an attack on the ground to disperse the extraterrestrial visitors as much as possible!”

“That’s the only way!” Marco nodded and replied, “Do you need me or Sachi to come and help?”

"No need for now. Just take good care of Nojiko and the child. Once things are settled here, I'll go see the child, and then you can come and assist Reina! It's your world now, the world of young people. An old man like me should stay on the island and take care of the child! Gurararara..." Whitebeard said with a loud laugh.

Although Whitebeard was laughing happily, for some reason, Marco felt a sense of melancholy. It seemed that Whitebeard should not have stayed on the island; he was a hero of the sea and should have been roaming the ocean.

But reason told him that Whitebeard was getting old and that staying on the island to live out his remaining years was the most appropriate course of action.

Chapter 832 Shirahoshi Arrives

"Shirahoshi, you've finally arrived! If I hadn't seen you today, I'd probably have told my father I was going to go find you!" Naga said with a smile as she looked at Princess Shirahoshi who had appeared before her.

"Sister-in-law Naga!" Shirahoshi was overjoyed to see Naga and quickly stepped forward, saying, "I've just never been this far from Fishman Island before, so the journey was a bit slow!"

"Alright, alright... As long as everyone's alright! Come on, I'll take you to see your father first, we'll talk about the rest later!" Naga was about to take Shirahoshi to find Whitebeard, but Shirahoshi stood still and didn't move.

“Sister-in-law Naga…” At this moment, Huangxing and Fanchexing, who were standing behind Baixing, finally revealed themselves, surprising Naga.

"So that's why Shark Star let White Star come out alone! It turns out you two brothers were with him! Why didn't you tell me sooner!" Naga said enthusiastically upon seeing the two brothers.
