Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

At this moment, the Straw Hat crew had all arrived at Robin's side. Although Robin is Reiner's daughter, she denied the honor of the Whitebeard Pirates, and even she could not easily forgive her. Therefore, the Straw Hat crew was afraid that the other party would attack Robin, so they had already protected her.

“Brubrubru… Brubrubru…”

Just then, the Den Den Mushi on Whitebeard's wrist suddenly rang. It was Reyner's private Den Den Mushi with Whitebeard, meaning that the person calling Whitebeard was Reyner.

All the Whitebeard Pirates members who knew this looked at Robin with strange expressions.

"Ah~ It's me!" Whitebeard didn't leave, but instead answered Reina's Den Den Mushi in front of Robin.

"Big brother! Have you resolved things on your end? I have some things I'd like to discuss with you!" Reina's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

Even Robin and the Straw Hat crew were stunned; they hadn't expected Reina to call Whitebeard at this moment.

"It's not a big problem. Neither the Navy nor the Beast Pirates intend to actually make a move here!" Whitebeard replied with a smile.

"I knew it! Big brother was just too bored staying on the island, so why not go out for a stroll? This matter just requires big brother to stretch his muscles a bit, how about it? Are you interested?" Reina said with a big laugh.

"Oh? Is that so! That's really good!" Whitebeard said with a smile, "However, there's a slight problem here. After fighting the extraterrestrials, the Straw Hat crew hasn't felt any transformation from the power of destiny!"

"You didn't sense anything? Not a single one?" Reina asked in surprise from the Den Den Mushi.

“Yes, so Robin guessed… because Straw Hat Luffy is the chosen one, none of them were able to receive the boost from his luck! She said… Straw Hat Luffy is the undisputed Pirate King!” Whitebeard said calmly.

After Whitebeard finished speaking, the entire scene became extremely quiet. Everyone was waiting for Reiner's answer, and many people were so nervous that their foreheads were covered in sweat. This was likely the biggest crisis the Whitebeard Pirates had ever faced. If Reiner fell out with Whitebeard because of Robin, then more than half of the Whitebeard Pirates' power might be destroyed!

"Hahaha... What a talkative girl!" Just then, Reina's laughter came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi. "But what she said is probably right!"

After Reina finished speaking, the entire scene became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone had breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Reina mention Robin with a smile, but after hearing everything Reina said, they were all somewhat incredulous.

“And…” Just when everyone thought Reina had gone mad, Reina spoke again, “Only this reason can explain why the Straw Hat crew couldn’t receive the boost from the power of luck! As for the so-called Pirate King… Heh~ Do you even care about that, brother? If you wanted, you’d be the Pirate King in a few decades!”

Chapter 871 Before the Operation

"It's just the title of Pirate King, does Big Brother really care about that?" Reina's words stunned everyone, including Cao Mao and his group.

"Gurarararar... I have no interest in the so-called Pirate King, but are you serious about his claim of being the chosen one?" Whitebeard asked with a loud laugh.

At this moment, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates looked at each other in bewilderment and realized that they had made a mistake from the beginning. Their father didn't care about the title of Pirate King at all.

Only Robin knew from the beginning that her father's attention was never on any Pirate King.

"Big brother, believe me, that kid... is definitely different from ordinary people!" Reina's voice rang out again from the Den Den Mushi.

This time, everyone looked at Luffy, seemingly wanting to know what was so special about him that made Reiner, a great pirate, say such a thing.

Luffy was also somewhat confused. He seemed to have heard Robin mention the title "Child of Destiny" before, but he had never paid any attention to it!

After exchanging a few more words with Reiner, Whitebeard hung up the phone.

At Whitebeard's signal, the banquet became lively again, but everyone unconsciously focused on Luffy, unable to understand what kind of person this straw hat-wearing kid was.

Meanwhile, after finishing his call with Whitebeard, Reina went straight to Lakuyo and said, "I just spoke with my brother and we've found suitable bait!"

"Oh?" Lakyo was taken aback and asked, "What kind of bait?"

Previously, they planned to use the Doctor to create a fake teleporter, but they couldn't guarantee that the extraterrestrial visitors would be fooled. After all, no one could guarantee that the extraterrestrial visitors could distinguish the fake one, and the Doctor was currently in the research lab. Even Olga couldn't guarantee that she could call the Doctor out through the Den Den Mushi.

Reina recounted the story of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"So what? Even if Cao Mao really is some kind of chosen one?" Lakyo asked, puzzled.

“They should already have the added fortune of this world, so ordinary extraterrestrial visitors, or those with too little fortune, are of little significance to them!” Reina said with a light laugh. “But if my guess is correct, they themselves possess immense fortune. What do you think would happen if extraterrestrial visitors found out?”

Lakyo's eyes lit up, but he immediately frowned and said, "But how can we convince the extraterrestrial visitors?"

"We don't need to do anything about that. I've already discussed it with Big Brother. Tomorrow, Luffy and the others will go to the front lines again. If I'm not mistaken, the enemy should have a way to detect it!" Reina said with a light laugh. "They can even detect our strength, so there's no reason they can't detect our luck! As long as they go to the battlefield tomorrow, and Big Brother observes carefully, we'll know whether the extraterrestrials are all focusing their attacks on the Straw Hat crew!"

Laco stroked his chin and said, "So... if the extraterrestrials launch a concentrated attack on the Straw Hat crew tomorrow, then we can use them to ambush them?"

“That’s right. The Straw Hat crew is quite strong, but they don’t have many people. The enemy won’t launch a large-scale attack; they’ll only send elite squads to hunt them down. We can ambush them from behind… hehe… and wipe out their elite squad in one fell swoop! Then, let Big Brother take action while we provide backup. It shouldn’t be a problem!” Reina nodded and said with a smile.

"Alright, then I'll gather the captains immediately and head to the Chaotic Lands!" Lakyo said anxiously.

"No rush, let's wait for my brother's message tomorrow!" Reina shook his head and said, "If that doesn't work, we'll still have to go to the doctor's side to find a solution, as we agreed before!"

“Okay, but I think the chances are great, I’ll have everyone get ready!” Lakyo said excitedly.

The next day, Whitebeard sent a message to Reina. The situation was as Reina had guessed. Sure enough, after Luffy appeared on the battlefield, the extraterrestrials began to focus their attacks on Luffy. If Whitebeard's appearance hadn't deterred the extraterrestrials, their reinforcements might have already arrived.

"It seems that when Luffy first appeared on the battlefield, the extraterrestrials didn't react in time, but after he killed the opponent's strongman, his identity was exposed. That's why the opponent reacted so quickly this time!" Reina said, holding the Den Den Mushi.

"So, should we tell those kids now? After all, Robin is in there too, and I don't want anything to happen to my precious daughter!" Whitebeard said with a light laugh.

"Brother, don't worry. Don't let them appear on the front lines for the next few days. I'll get there soon!" Reina said confidently.

“Alright!” the white-bearded man nodded in reply.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Reina immediately said to Lacour, who was waiting, "Let's go, let's go!"

"Great!" Upon hearing Reina's words, Laco excitedly gestured to the captains, and the pirate ships docked at the port raised their sails in unison.

"Let's go!" Reina shouted as soon as he boarded the ship.

"Whoa~!" More than twenty of the Whitebeard Pirates' distinctive whale ships headed directly toward the chaotic land.

Meanwhile, the commotion on Whitebeard's side quickly caught the attention of various major forces, alarming the Marines and the Beast Pirates, who immediately recalled Fujitora and King the Wildfire. If Whitebeard were to actually target them, they would likely not even have a chance to escape under such heavy encirclement.

Similarly, the Whitebeard Pirates' sudden actions made all the major powers cautious. They didn't understand what the Whitebeard Pirates wanted to do, and only Sengoku vaguely guessed something.

Although he knew the Whitebeard Pirates' objective, he couldn't figure out how they would make their move. He had devised several plans, but he rejected them all. First, he couldn't lure them in, and second, he couldn't think of a way to counter the extraterrestrial visitors' extremely rapid reinforcements.

He had no way to solve the problem unless all the major forces launched an offensive simultaneously.

He was very curious about how the Whitebeard Pirates would resolve this.

As for ending the battle before the enemy reinforcements arrive, that's simply impossible; the enemy's teleporters aren't just for show.

So, unable to figure it out, Sengoku simply chose to wait. Apart from deploying surveillance personnel in the chaotic area, the Navy did not take any further action. Even Fujitora was summoned back by him.

Although he knew that the Whitebeard Pirates' target was not Fujitora, if Fujitora were there, he might be an obstacle to them, and they might force Fujitora to retreat. In that case, it would be better to retreat proactively.

Chapter 872 Reina Arrives

“Father!” Robin was already waiting for him when Reina entered the port of the Chaotic Lands.

As Reina walked towards Robin with a smile, he said to the captains behind him, "Go straight to Big Brother's side. Don't make too much of a commotion for now, understand?"

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems!" Vista said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Reina nodded and followed Robin away, while the others, along with Vista, headed towards the Moby Dick.

The chaotic place was no longer as chaotic as it usually was. With the arrival of the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates, the pirates here behaved as obediently as civilians. Some of the more timid ones even quietly left when they learned that Reina was leading the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates. They were afraid of suffering an undeserved disaster here.

"It doesn't look too chaotic here!" Reina said with a smile as he looked at the neat and clean streets and the orderly people around him.

"It wasn't like this before!" Robin said, covering her mouth and chuckling. "But since Father brought the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates, they didn't dare to cause any chaos!"

"Looks like I've done a good deed!" Reina said with a smile. "Where are Luffy and the others?"

"I'm waiting for you at the inn!" Robin walked ahead of Reina, then turned back and asked, "Can I ask why Father won't let us continue killing extraterrestrials? Is it because we can't obtain the power of destiny?"

“No! You can also obtain the power of destiny, but… never mind, I’ll explain it all later!” Reina said halfway through, then waved his hand and replied.

Upon hearing this, Robin didn't ask any further questions. She wasn't the impatient type. Anyway, Reina would tell her in a while. She guessed that her father just didn't want to explain twice, so he would wait until he was with his friends before explaining.

Soon, led by Robin, Reina arrived at the inn where the Straw Hat crew was temporarily staying.

"Uncle Reina!"

"First Mate Reina!"

The Straw Hat crew members are all quite close to Reina, and Jinbe still calls him the first mate, just like before.

"Phew~ Have you been waiting long?" Reina said with a smile after casually finding a place to sit down.

"We've been waiting for a long time!" Luffy muttered. "Why did Uncle have Whitebeard stop us from continuing to fight the extraterrestrials?"

He's always been straightforward and dislikes waiting, and these past few days in the hotel have almost driven him crazy!

“Don’t worry, the reason you’re not allowed to fight on the front lines has little to do with your inability to obtain the power of destiny. Or to be precise, you can obtain the power of destiny! But because you already possess the power of destiny, the little bit of destiny power from those ordinary extraterrestrial visitors is of little use to you!” Reina said with a smile.

"Huh? Is it because of that 'son' that Robin mentioned?" Luffy tilted his head and asked, looking puzzled.

“Uh, that’s right! So what I’m about to say is very important, you all need to listen carefully!” Reina nodded, looked at everyone, and said, “First of all, I can say with certainty that Luffy is the chosen one of this world, just like Joy Boy many years ago! Both of them are beings with special missions!”

"Special mission? What's that?" Nami asked curiously.

Reina shook his head and replied with a smile, "You'll have to ask him that, I don't know! But Luffy... haven't you ever doubted your own Devil Fruit ability? It's clearly a Paramecia-type ability, so why does it have the same transformation effect as a Zoan-type?"

"Huh? Is that so? I didn't notice!" Luffy replied, looking completely bewildered.

"That's because your Devil Fruit is called Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nikka Mode!" Reina smiled at Chopper and said, "It's the same Devil Fruit you ate! It's the Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit!"

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Luffy in surprise, not expecting that his Devil Fruit was actually a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, and a rather rare Mythical Zoan at that.

“Nika form?” Robin frowned and said, “But Father, Mythical Zoan types are usually named after some legendary beast. What kind of beast is Nika? Why have I never heard of it?”

“Nika! You can call him the Sun God. He represents joy, sunshine, freedom, and liberation!” Reina smiled at Luffy and replied, “Doesn’t he remind you of yourself? That’s because not only are we choosing Devil Fruits, but Devil Fruits are also choosing us!”

"Huh? The Devil Fruit will choose us?" Everyone looked at Reina in surprise and asked.

Reina nodded and said, "Although there is no evidence to prove my point right now, the demons within Devil Fruits are like souls; they like humans with similar abilities and personalities. When you can truly observe your own abilities and understand your own heart, that's when you awaken your Devil Fruit power! Why hasn't the Nika Fruit awakened for so many years? It's because no one like you, Luffy, has appeared!"

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, but Luffy himself didn't seem to have much of a feeling about it.

"Now that we've covered that, let's talk about your relationship with the extraterrestrial visitors!" Seeing that everyone seemed a bit dazed, Reina smiled and continued, "Because Luffy is the chosen one, you, as his crewmates, also possess a lot of luck! This is why you didn't receive any luck boost when you killed ordinary extraterrestrial visitors, or even those below level 30—because you had already received the luck boost!"

"So...we have to kill an even more powerful extraterrestrial being?" Jinbe asked, frowning.

They have already fought against extraterrestrial visitors; Luffy even fought and defeated a level 30+ powerhouse.

Therefore, they were very clear that those extraterrestrial visitors were not as easy to deal with as the pirates outside had said.

“These are not the main points. The main point is… the enemy can detect our strength and the power of destiny we possess!” Reina said softly.

"What?" Everyone was shocked and looked at Reina in disbelief.

"Does Father mean that they can tell how strong we are just by looking at us?" Robin asked in surprise.

Reina shook his head and said, "Although I don't know what method they used, they could roughly know our strength. Didn't you notice? When fighting the extraterrestrials, those weaker than you never approached you. Those who challenged you were either of similar or stronger than you!"

"This..." Although the Straw Hat crew had only been to the front lines twice, after a little recollection, they knew that Reina was right.
