Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"That idiot, getting lost at a time like this!" Sanji said angrily.

"It's no use! The enemy is catching up!" Nami shouted, sitting on Zeus.

"We can't abandon Zoro!" Luffy said solemnly.

"Luffy, you go with them first, I'll go back to find him!" Jinbe looked at Luffy and said anxiously, "There's no use for you Devil Fruit users to stay here. After I find Zoro, I can go straight into the sea. Once we're in the sea, the enemy shouldn't be able to do anything to us!"

"Luffy, let's leave first and see if they catch up. If they don't, we can come back later!" Robin, being more calm and rational, said.

"Luffy, don't worry, that green-haired guy isn't so easy to defeat!" Sanji nodded and said, "Now we just need to make sure they won't chase us out to sea! Once we've made that clear, the Whitebeard Pirates can move out, and then it'll be much easier to rescue that green-haired guy!"

Luffy thought for a moment, nodded, and boarded the ship with his crew. Jinbe, who originally wanted to go and meet Zoro, was forcibly taken away by Nami. According to Nami, you can't find that guy now, and who can know where a lost person has gone?

It would be terrible if we lost Jinbe again. Jinbe is so stubborn, he might actually stay there and refuse to leave.

Sure enough, after Luffy and his crew boarded the Sunny and left, the extraterrestrial visitors did not follow. Since they did not have a ship, they could not go out to sea. However, they seemed quite hesitant and remained gathered at the port.

"What should we do? Should we wait?" Franky asked, looking at his companions.

In fact, they left ships at the port for those extraterrestrial visitors, but whether they would use them or not is unknown.

Even though they deliberately slowed down the ship, the extraterrestrial visitors did not chase after them, but instead slowly retreated into the depths of the island.

Seeing the extraterrestrial visitors depart from the sky not far away, Marco sighed, reported the situation to Reina and Whitebeard, and then quickly flew towards the island.

When Luffy and the others retreated earlier, he noticed that Zoro had strayed from his position, so he had to go and help him now, otherwise he might not be able to escape once those extraterrestrial visitors found him.

After everything was over, Reina and the Straw Hat crew arrived at the Moby Dick.

"Uncle Reina, those guys haven't caught up yet! What are we going to do now?" Luffy asked loudly as soon as he saw Reina approaching.

He had a very frustrating fight just now, so he was extremely unhappy.

Although Zoro was brought back by Marco, he was still very unhappy about the battle just now, so he looked up at Reina, seemingly waiting for Reina to say that he should go back and fight immediately.

“I know you’re unhappy!” Reina shrugged and said, “But in the eyes of these extraterrestrial visitors, you’re just easy targets. No matter where you appear, they will immediately surround you. If you hadn’t run fast this time, do you think you would have escaped? Don’t be fooled by their appearance; I sensed at least three level 40 or higher experts inside!”

Everyone looked at Reina in disbelief, especially Luffy and Zoro, but their eyes shone with fighting spirit.

They hadn't encountered any opponents above level 40 last time, so they were really eager to see just how strong their opponents were.

Chapter 876 Revisited

“Now that they haven’t fallen for it, what should we do?” Jinbe asked Reina.

The biggest problem now is that after Luffy and his crew retreated, those extraterrestrial visitors did not continue to pursue them. Even though Reina told Marco in advance to observe the location of the other side's teleporter, Marco did not find anything.

Marco was mainly afraid of being discovered, so he kept a great distance, making it virtually impossible to find any clues.

Since the enemy hasn't left the island, they can't use their previously planned strategy.

“Then we can only try to find their teleporter and then destroy it!” Reina sighed and said.

"Why must I be the one to kill them? Now that we have such a good opportunity, why not take advantage of their current distraction and ambush them? In the situation just now, even if they had reinforcements, as long as we fight our way out together, we can definitely give them a crushing defeat! As for my matter, we can find another opportunity later!" Whitebeard said to Reina.

Whitebeard's words tempted many people. Judging from the situation just now, as long as they all attacked, they could definitely catch the enemy off guard. Although the enemy's reinforcements would arrive soon, this time would be enough for them to eliminate many extraterrestrial visitors!

Now, in their eyes, extraterrestrial visitors are synonymous with the power of destiny, especially after they learned that the power of destiny can be accumulated, they have become even more attentive.

Reina was also somewhat tempted, but it was a rare opportunity to encounter something that an extraterrestrial visitor cared about. If he missed this chance, it wouldn't be so easy to lure an extraterrestrial visitor with something again, so Reina didn't want to waste this opportunity.

“Reina, let’s do as Dad says! Next time we can use the teleporter to give the Doctor some time. Maybe he can create a teleporter that’s indistinguishable from the real thing!” Marco turned his head and said to Reina.

Reina took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Alright! Then let's do this for the benefit of the whole group! But we can't choose this location! Luffy, how about we head to the main battlefield of the Whitebeard Pirates? There are more and stronger enemies there!"

“Okay!” Luffy naturally agreed with Reina’s suggestion. He came to the North Blue because he wanted to fight more and stronger opponents.

"Also... Big Brother, should we notify the Revolutionary Army?" Reina asked, looking at Whitebeard.

Upon hearing this, Luffy's eyes lit up. Although his father was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Luffy was not familiar with him. He was more familiar with his brother Sabo, and Marco had also mentioned that Ace was currently with the Revolutionary Army.

If this operation can be carried out in conjunction with the revolutionary army, then the three brothers can act together.

"Then you should ask them about this, since they should be in charge of this matter!" Whitebeard looked at Luffy and said with a light laugh.

The Straw Hat crew naturally knew about Luffy's relationship with the Revolutionary Army, so they were all waiting for Luffy's answer.

"Sure!" Sure enough, Luffy grinned and replied.

After receiving Luffy's approval, Whitebeard sent Marco to contact the Revolutionary Army, while the Moby Dick headed in another direction. Their destination was the front line of the Whitebeard Pirates, the battlefield where they would actually fight the extraterrestrials.

A day later, when the Moby Dick and the Sunny appeared on the sea near the battlefield, a large ship with a dragon's head immediately approached.

"Ace, Sabo!" Luffy, sitting at the bow of the Sunny, greeted his two older brothers who were also standing on the deck not far away.

"Luffy!" Ace also had a big smile on his face. The three brothers hadn't been together for a long time, and the thought of being able to reunite and fight the extraterrestrial visitors together was incredibly exciting.

When the three brothers meet, they naturally have endless things to talk about. Similarly, when three forces meet, they can't just say they want to fight. So, the necessary emotional connection must still be maintained.

At the banquet that evening, everyone looked happy and cheerful.

"Brother Newgate, what are the specific plans for this operation?" Dragon asked, approaching Whitebeard with a wine glass in hand.

He only knew the general plan of action: to use Luffy and his crew's special abilities to lure out the extraterrestrial visitors, and then the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army would swarm in and eliminate them before their reinforcements arrived.

Although the plan seemed straightforward, this wasn't the first time Dorrag had dealt with extraterrestrial visitors. If it were just this, it wouldn't be enough to eliminate many powerful enemies, so there was absolutely no need to call them over.

Whitebeard didn't say it explicitly, but nodded towards Reiner. Dragon immediately understood that Reiner had planned this operation, so he gave Ivankov a wink, signaling him to go and ask him.

Originally, the person who should have been the second-in-command, Sabo, was supposed to be Reina's counterpart, but since the three brothers were chatting, Dorrag had no choice but to send Ivankov instead.

"A specific plan? Not yet!" Reina shook his head and replied after hearing the question from the Transgender King Ivankov.

"No?" Ivankov was taken aback and looked at Reina in surprise.

Reina then recounted the events of the day with a smile.

"I see. So all we need to do is have Straw Hat Bobby lure the extraterrestrials out, and then we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop!" Ivankov didn't quite understand, but he got the gist of what Reina meant.

Reina shook his head and said, "I plan to discuss the specific plan with you later! Let's see if we can cut off their reinforcements. As you know, their reinforcements are coming in too fast. If we can't take them down quickly, it could easily escalate into a major war once their reinforcements arrive! After all, our goal isn't to start a war!"

“You’re right!” Ivankov’s face fell as he thought about the speed of the extraterrestrial reinforcements. Although the Revolutionary Army had not been on the front lines for long, they had obviously suffered a lot in their battles with the enemy.

“So… let’s go find your leader and discuss how to proceed!” Reina patted his behind and stood up, saying.

"Huh? Oh~ okay!" Ivankov was clearly a little confused by Reina's train of thought. Didn't they just say they would discuss it later? Why are they starting now?

However, this did not affect Reina. He went directly to Whitebeard's side, where the core members of the three factions, apart from Luffy, were.

"So... what do you plan to do?" After hearing Ivankov's report, Dragon looked directly at Reina and asked.

"It's simple. The main part of the plan is still relying on Cao Mao and his group to lure out the extraterrestrial visitors. They're few in number, but powerful, so the enemy won't send too many grunts. The main purpose is to prevent their escape. The rest should be their strongest members, and our targets are those strong members!" Reina smiled and said.

"This time we have plenty of manpower. The main force of our Whitebeard Pirates is here, along with the strongmen of your Revolutionary Army and Luffy and his crew. Whether it's high-end strength or manpower, we have the advantage! So I plan to send some people to cut off their reinforcements. Even if we can't find the teleporter, we can still delay their reinforcements and buy us time to eliminate their strongmen!"

Chapter 877 Negotiations

Reina's words made Dragon fall into deep thought, while Zoro, Nami, and Robin, who were standing to the side, didn't care, because their main job was to attract the enemy's attention, and the reinforcements that followed were not of much concern to them.

Furthermore, Zoro's goal is to fight against strong opponents, so he doesn't care much about these plans, and even Luffy didn't come to the meeting.

"Then, can we take on the task of blocking enemy reinforcements and destroying the teleporter?" Dragon suddenly spoke up after Reina had given a general outline of the plan.

"Hmm?" Whitebeard and Reyna both looked at Dragon, especially Reyna, whose original purpose was to obtain the power of destiny from the extraterrestrial visitor, so Dragon's suggestion was exactly what he wanted.

"Drag, I remember you talking about how luck can be accumulated... Didn't I tell you about it?" Whitebeard frowned and said, "This is a good opportunity to hunt for luck. If handled well, it can greatly improve the overall strength of your Revolutionary Army!"

"Thank you for informing me, Brother Newgate!" Dragon clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, saying, "But I have my own ideas! You can always hunt for the power of luck, but this opportunity is rare! You've already seized the teleporter, so I'd like to try and see if I can seize it too!"

Dorrag didn't hide his purpose and said it directly.

Reina suddenly realized that this was what Dragon was planning. In that case, blocking enemy reinforcements would indeed be very suitable for them.

“But… it might be extremely difficult for you to seize the teleporter. In that case, you would be undertaking the heaviest task for the least reward!” Reina thought for a moment and then said, “Although I can tell you all the information the extraterrestrials have about the teleporter, if it were that simple, we would have done it ourselves long ago!”

Dragon smiled and shook his head, saying, "To reap rewards, one must naturally bear risks!"

Reina likes people like that, who know what they want and what they have to give. Those who only know how to take but not give can never be a good ally.

"How about this? I'll have Marco bring a few captains to assist you, and you can have Sabo bring a few people to help us! If you manage to seize the teleporter, it's yours, but I'd like to share some of the other resources with us, how about that?" Reina thought for a moment and then offered a compromise.

Otherwise, the revolutionary army will gain nothing, and they will profit from everything. This is not a sustainable way to cooperate.

So when he heard Reina's suggestion, Dragon did not refuse.

Whitebeard, standing to the side, smiled and nodded, saying, "Very good. Marco's aerial reconnaissance will be a great help to you. As for that little girl over there who's good at boosting morale, come and help us! She's not very useful over there!"

Since the main objective of this operation is to deal with the extraterrestrial visitors, the Whitebeard Pirates are the main force, and their strength is no less than that of the extraterrestrial visitors. Therefore, with the help of the Encouragement Fruit, they can exert even greater power.

“I understand! But… how do we hide our forces and numbers?” Dragon nodded, not refusing Whitebeard and Reyner’s offer.

“That’s easy!” Reina smiled and said, “We can coat the Moby Dick and then hide it on the seabed! With the help of our merfolk friends, we can scout out the surrounding waters beforehand to make sure there are no enemy underwater forces!”

“That’s a good idea! We can surround the entire island, and when it’s time to act, we can appear from all directions, which will also help us cut off their reinforcements!” The Transgender King Ivankov nodded in agreement and said.

"So when do we counterattack?" Zoro asked, looking at Reina.

“When you retreat to the coastline, that’s when we’ll counterattack. I’ll have Marco monitor you from the air, and once the opportunity arises, we’ll launch a full-scale attack! This time, the main focus is on eliminating the enemy, so… just unleash your full combat potential!” Reina said with a light laugh.

Zoro smiled slightly and replied, "That would be perfect!"

After discussing the details again, everyone finalized the plan. However, they knew they couldn't take action today, so the lively banquet continued.

The next day, after everyone woke up, they began to carry out their assigned tasks.

"So boring~~~" Luffy lay on the deck of the Sunny and shouted boredly.

"Luffy, our mission is to lure out the extraterrestrial visitors, so all you need to do today is rest!" Zoro said to Luffy, who was rolling around on the deck, while wiping his weapons.

“That’s right, there’s another big battle tomorrow, so it’s best to get some rest today!” Usopp nodded and said.

"How about we have a party? Yesterday's party was really fun!" Luffy said to his crewmates, seemingly oblivious to their conversation.

"You...didn't I say I was going to rest today? Who has the energy to have a party with you?" Nami was speechless. Her captain was still acting like this.

"Well, where's Jinbe? Why haven't I seen him?" Luffy quickly changed the subject when he saw Nami looking angry.

"Jinbe went to help his fellow Revolutionary Army members with their coating. He's a fish-man and can move around underwater, so the Revolutionary Army invited him over early this morning!" the adorable Chopper replied from the side.

"Huh? Then we don't need to apply a coating?" Luffy asked curiously.

"Oh!"

Nami gave Luffy a sharp rap on the head and yelled, "Didn't I tell you? Our mission is to be bait; all we need to do is draw the enemy's attention!"
