Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Stop talking nonsense! You and your companions possess the power of destiny. If you are killed, the opponent's strength will increase dramatically, so you absolutely cannot die here!" Vista shouted at Luffy.

"Oh? You actually know that he possesses the power of destiny? It seems you know quite a lot!" The one who arrived with reinforcements was the Illusionist, so after hearing Vista's words, he looked at Vista with great interest and said.

As a level 45 powerhouse, he was quite proficient in the language of the One Piece world, so he spoke more fluently.

Upon hearing the other person's words, Vista was startled again.

Damn it, he forgot again that the other person could understand them now.

"Luffy?" Zoro looked at Luffy and asked softly, "This guy should be the strongest enemy right now, right?"

"Hehehe... That should be right! Didn't Uncle Reina say that enemies above level 45 can awaken their abilities? He must have been the one who trapped us in the illusion just now!"

At this moment, Luffy and Zoro had no intention of escaping, because their target had already appeared.

Vista shook his head helplessly as he watched Luffy and Zoro assume their fighting stances.

He told the two to leave first just in case, since the main force of their Whitebeard Pirates was nearby, and the powerful figure who used the energy shield had been killed by Reina. According to Reina, the other party should not reappear for a while.

That means Reina and Whitebeard could come to their aid at any time, so it wouldn't be very likely for these enemies to take them down, and they're not weaklings!

Chapter 883 Action

Looking at the three people in front of him, the illusionist smiled contemptuously. Not everyone has eyes like the Sharingan. As long as there is no ability to counter illusions, his strength is even greater than that of an energy shield expert.

However, Luffy is not one to admit defeat easily, so once he decided to take action, he naturally went straight for the opponent's strongest illusionist.

Faced with Luffy's attack, the illusionist chuckled and did not directly use illusion on Luffy.

He had previously used illusion magic on the Straw Hat crew from a distance because he was afraid they would escape. Now that Luffy was right in front of him, he didn't believe that the duck he had in his grasp would fly away again. So he also planned to play with Luffy and see how strong the chosen one of this world really was.

As a level 45 powerhouse, he was not only skilled in illusion magic; he was also extremely powerful before his awakening, otherwise he would not have been able to successfully awaken.

Moreover, this wasn't his first time conquering a planet, so he naturally knew that someone like Luffy, who possessed the power of the world—that is, the power of destiny—was the chosen one of this world.

Once he obtains the power of luck from the other party, his strength will increase significantly again. Therefore, when he met Luffy this time, he had no intention of letting him go.

"Is this all the strength you have?" The illusionist said disdainfully after dodging Luffy's attacks several times.

"Hmph! Defeating you is enough!" Luffy replied unhappily.

The illusionist shook his head, about to say something, but suddenly turned around and looked towards the coast.

"Hey~ Luffy, the number of enemies has increased!" A figure quickly approached; it was Sanji who had arrived.

"Yo~ Sanji, how's everyone?" Luffy asked with a big laugh when he saw Sanji coming over.

"Of course, everything..."

"Alright, Chef, now that you're here, let's deal with the enemy in front of us first!"

Sanji was interrupted by Vista before he could finish speaking.

His main concern was that Sanji might reveal their plan, since Sanji might forget, like him, that the enemy had become fluent in their language.

Furthermore, since Sanji came from the coast, Reina must already know about their situation, so there's no need for further explanation.

Furthermore, Sanji's appearance made the extraterrestrial visitors feel the danger. After all, this was a battlefield, and anything could happen. Therefore, the illusionist decided to quickly eliminate the enemy in front of him.

"Illusion Seal!" Without further ado, the illusionist unleashed a beam of light from his eyes, enveloping everyone in front of him.

Following closely behind, Luffy, Vista, Zoro, and the newly arrived Sanji began to lose their focus and slowly gave up resisting.

"Sir, shall we deal with them now?" The extraterrestrial visitors who came with the illusionist asked with great delight upon seeing that Luffy and the others were powerless to resist.

Luffy, the chosen one of the world, is naturally an illusionist, but he's not the only one here. Sanji and Zoro are both blessed with great fortune, and even Vista is a powerful individual. Even if they only get one of these, it would be an enormous windfall.

"Hmph! Don't even think about it! The barrier was with me before, and the result was... So some of the luck power here should be given to him. At least we need to gather enough luck power for his descent first!" The illusionist wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

He had been using his abilities repeatedly, and against people of considerable strength, that had left him somewhat exhausted!

Upon hearing this, the visitors from outer space lowered their heads, as they did not dare to compete with a Venerable of level 45 or above for the power of destiny.

But at that moment, the illusionist suddenly sensed a strange energy, and Luffy and the others, who had been controlled by his illusion, began to recover.

"What's going on? Who is it?" The illusionist was shocked. Who could break his illusion so easily?

"I never expected to run into you here. You ambushed me last time, and now it's my turn!" A voice that sounded both familiar and frightening to the illusionist came from behind. He turned around and saw the person he least wanted to see.

"Hey~ Luffy~ We're not late, are we?" Usopp, standing next to Reina, shouted happily when he saw Luffy and the others there.

"Hehehehe... Just right!" Luffy replied happily.

The person who arrived was Reina, who brought the Straw Hat crew, whom he had restored, to the rescue.

"Couldn't you have come sooner? Where are Dad and the others?" Seeing Reina arrive, Vista couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Being trapped in the illusion by Reina's magic had really given Vista a fright.

“Hehe…” Reina chuckled and said, “Big Brother has arrived, and we’ve already launched a full-scale war, so… they’re already trapped!”

"Damn it!" The illusionist knew something was wrong as soon as he saw Reina. With a little sensing, he already understood the situation on the island.

"My lord, let's retreat!" the extraterrestrial visitor standing beside the illusionist said softly. "We'll cover you!"

He spoke in the language of extraterrestrials, so Luffy and the others couldn't understand him, but Reina did, because he had previously received language abilities as a system reward, so he easily learned the language of extraterrestrials.

Reina remained calm and pretended not to understand, all in order to deceive the other party and see if he could glean any information from their conversation.

"Alright, you guys stop them, especially that red-eyed guy!" The illusionist also knew that now was not the time to step forward. Reina's Sharingan completely countered his illusions, and he had no chance of winning in a fight. Moreover, the number of enemies on the island was several times theirs, and there were quite a few strong ones as well. Before reinforcements arrived, he had no chance of winning at all.

But just as he was preparing to retreat, a man with a curved beard and holding a huge naginata appeared in front of them.

"Gurararara... Is this the kid?" The white-bearded man looked at the illusionist with a smile and asked.

“That’s right! Luffy, this level 45 guy is ours now. As for the rest, you can decide what to do with them yourselves, okay?” Reina asked with a light laugh.

“No problem!” Luffy wasn’t very interested in illusionists; their illusions were a bit annoying. He preferred the opponents he had fought before.

"Then let's begin!" Without saying a word, Reina's Sharingan spun rapidly in its socket, staring at the illusionist. If the illusionist tried to use his abilities, the Sharingan would show him what a nemesis was.

Without wasting words, the bearded man on the other side swung his naginata, unleashing a slash carrying the energy ball of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which flew directly toward the illusionist.

"Go!" The illusionist shouted, and the extraterrestrial visitors scattered in all directions, trying to buy time.

They have already used their communication system to request support, and as long as there are no problems with the transmitter, their reinforcements will arrive soon.

Chapter 884 Crushing

Taking advantage of Whitebeard's attack, the extraterrestrials scattered in all directions to buy time. However, they were unaware that the Revolutionary Army was already waiting on the island. When the visitors appeared, the Revolutionary Army had already made its way into the depths of the island and successfully located their tents.

However, they did not act when the illusionists were deployed, and the illusionists' illusions bypassed the battlefield and hit the Straw Hat crew directly, so the Revolutionary Army members did not know that they had just brushed past death.

So when news came from Whitebeard's side that it was time to act, the Revolutionary Army immediately launched an offensive towards the tent.

Even so, when they arrived around the tent, several powerful individuals emerged from inside, and some of them immediately packed up the tent, intending to take it away.

"Don't let him leave! Kill!" At Dragon's command, the revolutionary's strongmen all attacked, engaging the enemy in fierce combat.

Meanwhile, Whitebeard and Reina intercepted the illusionist; this was their target.

“Big brother, I think you should gain a lot after taking him down. At least next time you want to make a move, you won’t need my help!” Reina said with a light laugh.

The illusionist looked at Reina and Whitebeard, who were surrounding him from the front and back, and took a deep breath. He had just received a notification that the teleporter had also been attacked, reinforcements had been blocked, and in order not to lose the teleporter again, the teleporter's location had to be moved before reinforcements could continue.

Therefore, this period is one in which they must persevere on their own.

Without Reina, the illusionist wouldn't care about these enemies at all. Putting aside his illusionary abilities, even just based on his physical attributes, these people wouldn't be able to defeat him in a short time.

But Reina is different here. He is a strongman of the same level as me, or even stronger. If I am not careful, he could very well perish here.

Although it wasn't a true death, he had expended so much of his luck and fortune to finally arrive here. If he were to die so easily, it would be a huge loss.

Aside from Reina and Whitebeard's side, the Straw Hat crew and the Whitebeard Pirates' captains, along with Sabo of the Revolutionary Army and the Encouragement Fruit user, launched a full-scale attack on the extraterrestrial visitors.

Whether in terms of troop strength or the number of powerful individuals, the allied forces far surpassed the extraterrestrial visitors, so the extraterrestrial visitors' retreat was already very obvious.

However, everyone knows that the enemy's reinforcements are very fast. Although the reinforcements cannot arrive immediately due to the Revolutionary Army, the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

Therefore, no one stayed behind during the battle. The Whitebeard Pirates' captains, along with their respective squads of fighters, launched an overwhelming attack on the extraterrestrial visitors, while the Straw Hat crew faced off against different levels of powerful opponents.

This was Reina's special instruction; they had previously played the role of bait, and it wouldn't be right not to give them some benefits.

Therefore, both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army agreed to Reiner's proposal, which resulted in the Straw Hat crew having opponents for each member. Otherwise, given the current situation, these local strongmen would definitely have been ganged up on and killed.

After all, now is the time to race against time. No one knows how long the Revolutionary Army can delay the extraterrestrial reinforcements. If they fail to kill them, it will be a waste of this excellent opportunity.

However, this opportunity was originally created by Cao Mao and his group, so if a powerful enemy escapes because of them, no one will object.

"Boom boom boom..." Just as everyone was frantically hunting down the extraterrestrial visitors and seizing the power of destiny, a violent explosion suddenly came from not far from the coastline.

"That's... the direction Dad and Reina are heading!" Jozu squinted at the direction of the explosion and said with some worry, "Won't there be any problems?"

"Are you kidding me? With Dad and Reina here, if anything goes wrong, there's no point in us going over! Let's focus on the battle at hand and hunt down more of the enemy's strongmen!" Lakyo rolled his eyes and replied.

Upon hearing this, Joz nodded in agreement and said, "That's right! With Reina and Dad's strength, they'd need a few more level 45 or higher experts to handle this!"

Their focus should now be on the enemy's stronger members, because the sudden appearance of the illusionist disrupted some of their plans, so there aren't many strong members on the enemy side on the battlefield right now.

The Whitebeard Pirates' captains, plus some of the Revolutionary Army's officers, simply couldn't handle the workload.

“Captain Vista!” Sabo called out softly as he approached Vista.

Because of his previous injury, Vista did not participate in the battle to eliminate the enemy's powerful figures. Instead, he stayed behind and helped clear out some of the extraterrestrial visitors' minions.

“It’s Chief of Staff Sabo!” Vista put away his weapon and asked with a smile, “What’s up? Is there something you need?”

Sabo nodded and said, "There aren't many strong enemies here, so I plan to go and support the leader!"

“Alright, do you need us to send someone over to help?” After thinking for a moment, Vista nodded and replied.

“No need, Captain Marco has already gone to help, hasn’t he?” Sabo said with a smile.

"Sabo, I'll go with you!" At that moment, Ace, engulfed in flames, walked over and shouted, "Luffy doesn't need my attention, I'll go with you!"

Upon hearing this, Sabo nodded and did not refuse, because Ace was his brother.

Vista just smiled and didn't say anything more.

Soon, watching the two leave, Vista turned his attention back to the battlefield. Although they had the upper hand now, they still couldn't be careless.

In addition, whether it's the Straw Hat crew or Reyner and Whitebeard's side, they all need to send people to keep an eye on things. If the enemy shows any signs of escaping, then their people need to stop them.

"Boom boom boom~~~"

The continuous clashes of attacks left the illusionist's arms somewhat numb. Facing both Reina and Whitebeard simultaneously, even a level 45 powerhouse like him was severely suppressed.
