Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

When they returned to the island where they had been stationed, Lacjo and the rest of the men were already waiting for them at the port.

"Dad, you're back?" Laqué called out with a big smile.

After receiving Reina, Whitebeard informed Rakuyo, telling him to prepare the banquet without worry.

"Hmm! Do you have a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) that can contact the Navy?" Whitebeard nodded and asked.

“Yes, I have not only Marines here, but also Big Mom and the Beasts Pirates. Although we rarely use them, the zookeepers take good care of them,” Laco immediately replied.

Whitebeard nodded and said, "Let's go, take me there! Also, arrange for someone to take good care of Reina; that kid will probably need to recuperate for a while this time!"

"Is the injury serious?" Laqué asked, frowning.

He only knew that Reina was alright, but he didn't know the specifics, so he was startled when he heard Whitebeard say that.

Chapter 846 Whitebeard's Deal

“Burp burp burp…” A naval soldier was dozing off at a table when the sound of a Den Den Mushi woke him up.

When he saw which Den Den Mushi was calling, he was instantly wide awake and immediately pressed the emergency button on the table to connect to the Den Den Mushi.

"This is the North Sea Division of the Navy. May I ask what's the matter?!" The Navy liaison officer looked at the Den Den Mushi and realized that it had really turned into the appearance of the man he knew. He couldn't help but swallow and asked.

"This is Whitebeard, Edward Newgate! Have Sengoku or Garp answer the phone!" Whitebeard's deep voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Okay...okay! I'll contact the two masters right away!" The liaison officer wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the Den Den Mushi.

Thanks to the fact that he had pressed the emergency button before connecting to the Den Den Mushi, the Den Den Mushi from Sengoku called back very quickly.

"What happened?" Sengoku asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Sengoku, it's Whitebeard's Den Den Mushi. He wants to speak with you!" The liaison officer covered the Den Den Mushi on Whitebeard's end and said to Sengoku.

"Whitebeard? I understand. Bring his Den Den Mushi over!" Sengoku nodded, though somewhat surprised.

So the liaison officer combined Whitebeard's Den Den Mushi with Sengoku's phone, so that Whitebeard could talk to Sengoku directly.

"Newgate..." Sengoku asked first after the Den Den Mushi connected, "What do you want?"

"Sengoku, just now, two extraterrestrial visitors, both level 45 or higher, launched a sneak attack on Reina!" Whitebeard said without further ado, "and destroyed a small island!"

"What?" Sengoku was taken aback and asked, "How is Reina?"

If news of Reina's death were to spread now, it would be a fatal blow to those forces resisting the extraterrestrial visitors.

"Despite being severely injured, he killed the powerful opponent who was using an energy shield and then escaped!" Whitebeard didn't tell the truth; he only told Sengoku the result.

"Phew~" Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As expected of Akame, she was still able to kill one of the level 45 experts when surrounded by two level 45 experts!"

"Besides this, Reina also brought back quite a bit of intelligence!" Whitebeard smiled slightly and said, "I wonder if you're interested in this kind of intelligence?"

"Speak, what do you want in exchange?" Sengoku knew that Whitebeard wouldn't give it to him for nothing, and he was also very certain that Whitebeard wouldn't ask for an exorbitant amount, otherwise there would be no need for him to make this call.

"Didn't your navy research the latest Pacifista?" Whitebeard said with a smile, "Send over a few so we can study them too!"

"That's impossible!" Sengoku shook his head and said, "Not only do I not have the authority to do this right now, but even if I did, I would never agree to it!"

The only Pacifistas deployed were when Kizaru surrounded the Straw Hat crew, and only one type was used: Kuma, one of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea.

In fact, the World Government's scientific forces have not only developed this one, but have also researched all the former Seven Warlords of the Sea, and added some of the abilities of the former Lunar race, evolving into the current New Pacifistas.

In fact, even Sengoku didn't know these things, and even Sakazuki didn't know them. Only Kizaru, who was the captain of the Science Unit's guard, knew some of them.

When Kizaru saw that the World Government hadn't deployed its latest achievements during the siege of the Straw Hat crew, he knew that the World Government's vision was too narrow.

If all the former Shichibukai Pacifistas were dispatched, even with the help of Yonko Shanks, it would be extremely difficult for the Straw Hat crew to escape.

"Is that so? I was just mentioning it casually. Since it doesn't work, let's try another one!" Whitebeard said casually upon hearing this.

He hadn't originally planned to use any Pacifistas. It was only during a previous phone call with Marco that Marco heard from Luffy that the Navy's secret weapon seemed to be a new type of Pacifista, and that it was quite powerful.

So he wanted to take a few back and give them to the doctor.

However, since Sengoku has refused, Whitebeard will not insist.

"I can't offer you much. In the Beihai region, the only thing you'll be interested in is territory. Choose one of the small islands on the front lines!" The price offered by Zhan Guo wasn't low either; a small island is quite valuable these days.

However, Whitebeard didn't care about such things; he would get what he needed himself, rather than resorting to such methods.

So Whitebeard smiled and rejected Sengoku's proposal, instead offering equivalent supplies.

"So...the other side has completely mastered our language?" Sengoku was quite surprised when Whitebeard told him that the other side could already have a fluent conversation with Reina.

“That should be the case. As you know, their messages travel very fast, and the way they are transmitted is also very strange. Although it is not certain whether only experts above level 45 have mastered our language, given the speed and method of their message transmission, it is as if they know it all!” Whitebeard said with a smile.

“That’s right!” Sengoku nodded and replied, “Besides this news, is there anything else?”

"Of course, Reina almost died there this time!" Whitebeard laughed as he told Sengoku all the information Reina had obtained.

If they cannot cooperate in this situation, their inevitable demise is inevitable.

Sengoku understood the meaning of Whitebeard's message, so when transporting resources, he didn't falsify anything but genuinely delivered them to the Whitebeard Pirates at the value of an entire island.

"So, your navy... after being silent for so long, are you planning to do something?" Whitebeard asked curiously before hanging up the phone.

Sengoku remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Currently, our combat strength is insufficient. We can handle some ordinary extraterrestrial visitors without any problem, but once a war begins, Garp and I might not be able to cope!"

"So you're waiting... waiting for the Straw Hat crew to arrive in the North Blue?" Whitebeard suddenly realized something and said, "I was wondering why Marco reported that your navy didn't actually surround the Straw Hats in the North Blue. At first, I thought you were confident you could eliminate them outside the North Blue, but now it seems that this was your plan from the beginning, Sengoku?"

Chapter 847 The Worries of the Warring States Period

Whitebeard's words made Sengoku burst into laughter. He said, "Just a mere pirate. Compared to those extraterrestrial visitors, Newgate... tell me, which is more important?"

Whitebeard was silent for a moment before speaking, "You're right. Whether we're marines or pirates, we're all people of this world. Only those extraterrestrials are considered invaders! But if you continue like this, aren't you afraid of splitting up the Marines?"

Sengoku hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "I've already restrained myself quite a bit, otherwise Sakazuki would probably have come looking for us already! I know this isn't good for the Navy, but... you know the current situation. If we don't have enough power to resist those extraterrestrial visitors, perhaps... our world really will be destroyed!"

"Gurararara... Since that's the case... Sengoku, my old friend! How about we go all out?" Whitebeard suddenly laughed and asked Sengoku, "How do you think we can get the Marine Headquarters and the World Government to take extraterrestrial visitors seriously?"

Sengoku was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "You mean... this won't do, Newgate, you're playing with fire. If things go wrong, it could be a catastrophe for our world!"

Although Whitebeard did not reveal his specific plan, Sengoku reacted within moments and immediately rejected Whitebeard's proposal.

"So what? The current situation in the North Blue is entirely supported by pirates, but you should know better than I what kind of people pirates are! Once they can't gain anything here, they'll likely retreat! You also know why they came to the North Blue to resist the extraterrestrial visitors!" Whitebeard said in a deep voice:

"But if this continues, let alone ordinary pirates, even a Yonko-level pirate crew like ours won't be able to continue! Kaido's Beasts Pirates and Big Mom's Big Mom Pirates have suffered more defeats in the North Blue than in the past few decades combined, haven't they? They've also suffered considerable losses in the North Blue; I heard that many of Big Mom's children have died in battle! But what have they gained?"

Sengoku remained silent. It was said that after killing the extraterrestrial visitors, they could obtain the world's fortune, which is why pirates flocked to the North Blue. However, now almost everyone who comes to the North Blue knows that a little bit of fortune is not very useful to them. The stronger the person, the more fortune they need to absorb.

That was their first encounter with the power of destiny, which is why some changes appeared so obvious. In reality, unless they had someone kill a large number of extraterrestrial visitors, that little bit of power of destiny would not be enough to make up for their losses.

However, they were unaware that Reina, who was asleep at the moment, was undergoing a visible transformation, because he had killed a powerful expert of level 45 or above and gained more luck power than he had imagined.

This is why the illusionists and energy shield experts were no longer in a hurry after confirming Reina's strength. Because experts of their level possess terrifying luck power, enough to satisfy the luck power required for their arrival.

However, Whitebeard and Sengoku were unaware of this at the time. They knew pirates very well, and if the fighting continued like this, a large number of pirates in the North Blue might leave. Without the support of a large force, their few major powers simply could not support them, especially given that extraterrestrial visitors could keep regenerating.

Sengoku was well aware of Whitebeard's explanation; otherwise, given his personality, he would never have willingly allowed the Straw Hat crew to come to the North Blue, as this would undoubtedly have greatly damaged the Navy's reputation.

However, Sengoku still couldn't make up his mind to do as Whitebeard wished.

Although Whitebeard didn't say it explicitly, Sengoku knew that they were simply feigning defeat to allow the extraterrestrials to breach the North Blue. Only in this way could they attract the attention of the World Government and the Marine Headquarters.

However, the Warring States period was also well aware that the limitation of the other side's arrival in this world lay in the territory they had acquired. Once they surrendered the North Sea, it would be extremely difficult to take it back later.

“I understand what you mean, but once we actually make that decision… have you thought about the future? If we are powerless to reclaim our lost territory, then we will be the sinners of this world!” Sengoku sighed and said.

"So what? I just did what I could. As for the future, let the young people handle it!" Whitebeard said nonchalantly. "Besides, Reiner said that the reason they ambushed him was because we stole their things. So Reiner pretended not to know they could understand and revealed the location of the things, which is in Mary Geoise!" Whitebeard said with a sly laugh.

"You bastard!" Sengoku roared, somewhat exasperated. "What are you planning to do? I'm telling you, you'd better not do anything rash!"

"What? Who do you think I am? I'm Whitebeard!" Whitebeard replied, quite annoyed. "I can do whatever I want! Whether you want to come with me or not is up to you! You damn old man!"

After saying that, Whitebeard hung up the Den Den Mushi, leaving Sengoku stunned.

"That bastard... I forgot, that guy himself is the biggest pirate captain!!" Sengoku was almost at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.

Garp, standing to the side, cast an inquiring glance at Sengoku. Neither Whitebeard nor Sengoku had explained their specific plans, so Garp didn't quite understand.

“Newgate wants us to deliberately lose and then retreat! That way we can attract the attention of the World Government and Headquarters. That madman even plans to lure the extraterrestrial visitors to Mary Geoise, so those guys will fully realize how powerful the enemy is!” Sengoku, as expected of Garp’s old partner, knew what Garp wanted to ask with just a questioning look.

"Hahaha... That's just like him! But even if we don't get involved, we don't have to stop him either!" Garp said softly while eating a senbei.

Since arriving in the North Blue, Garp has become even more unrestrained than before. He used to be restrained by the Navy's sense of justice, but now he does whatever he likes and will no longer tolerate things he doesn't like.

Even if someone in the Navy dares to bully the kind-hearted, once Garp finds out, that person will definitely be in big trouble.

So Sengoku wasn't surprised when Garp said such a thing, because even he himself had changed quite a bit.

“But you need to know that the strength of extraterrestrial visitors is related to the territory they occupy. Once they occupy more territory, who will deal with those powerful beings who descend?” Zhan Guo shook his head and said, “You’ve heard it too, powerful beings above level 45 will have the ability to awaken. You’ve also seen that energy shield powerhouse before!”

"So what? He dares to fight me head-on. I'll beat the crap out of him!" Garp said contemptuously.

Chapter 848 Reina's Abnormality

Sengoku smiled helplessly at his old friend.

At this moment, Garp's head was full of white hair, interspersed with some black hair, which was the power of fortune provided to him by the extraterrestrial visitors he had killed recently.

Whether it was good luck or something else, after Garp killed the enemy, the luck power provided by the enemy was completely replenished to his life force, giving Garp some signs of rejuvenation, which made Sengoku extremely envious.

However, Sengoku was a commander-type talent who was better at controlling the rear, so he did not kill many enemies by hand, and naturally did not obtain much luck power.

Like Whitebeard, Sengoku absorbed some luck power in the early stages, but his body never showed any further reaction.

But no one knew except Garp himself that his current strength... was already quite close to his peak.

Originally, he hadn't lost much strength over time, only his physical strength was indeed much worse than before. Now, with the blessing of the power of luck, his vitality has recovered considerably.

However, he did not tell anyone about this, including Sengoku, so as not to upset his old friend.

When he said he could take down an energy shield expert, he wasn't just talking casually. If the opponent tries the same trick on the Navy again, Garp will definitely make them regret it.

Because he blocked the possibility of the Navy calling for help, and also prevented himself from using this ability in battle, he had absolutely no chance of winning against Garp.

Just as the Navy was worrying about the Whitebeard Pirates' next move, Whitebeard contacted the Revolutionary Army first.

"You mean...we'll guide the extraterrestrial visitors to Mary Geoise?" Even Dragon was taken aback by Whitebeard's plan.

“That’s right, Reina has already taken the first step. We stole their teleporter, and Reina told them it’s stored in Mary Geoise!” Whitebeard chuckled and said.

“This…” Dragon hesitated for a moment, then said, “Even so, it won’t be easy to lure them to Mary Geoise!”
