Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Hehe...you're not getting away today!" Seeing the other person's expression, Reina couldn't help but laugh and said, "Didn't you guys have a lot of fun ambushing me last time? This time it's my turn!"

"You want to kill me? Are you prepared to pay the price?" The illusionist narrowed his eyes and said, "Even if it's just the two of you, you won't be able to withstand my dying counterattack!"

Chapter 885 Intense Battle

Faced with the illusionist's tough stance, Reina smiled slightly and said, "Shouldn't we have been prepared for this when you first appeared? If you want to invade this planet, you should be prepared to make sacrifices!"

"Why waste words? Just kill him!" Whitebeard swung his naginata, unleashing a slash imbued with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, heading straight for the illusionist.

"Crack..." As the illusionist dodged, the space around him began to shatter like glass, startling the illusionist into quickly dodging again. In their world, this ability to shatter space was a symbol of great power.

However, after he avoided it, he found that the space did not continue to break apart, but instead slowly began to repair itself, which greatly puzzled the illusionist.

However, Reina didn't give him any more time to think and appeared behind him in a flash.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The three-way battle escalated rapidly, and a large portion of the coastline was destroyed by them.

"Hoo~ Hoo~ Hoo~ What a strange ability. Although you have the ability to shatter space, you don't seem to truly possess that kind of strength. It's a real pity!" The illusionist looked at the white-bearded man and said.

Although Whitebeard still looks imposing due to his age, he doesn't usually appear on the battlefield. Therefore, illusionists don't know much about Whitebeard, especially the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's abilities, which they only saw today.

"Gurararara... No pity, as long as I kill you, it's a good ability!" Whitebeard laughed and launched another attack.

The illusionist was struggling to dodge Whitebeard's attacks while also guarding against Reina's sneak attacks.

Fortunately, although Whitebeard's moves were fierce, his age had slowed him down, so the illusionist was not worried at all if he were to fight him alone.

But now it's not just Whitebeard; there's also a more troublesome Reina. Not only can Reina counter my illusions, but he's also just as strong as me. In fact, after absorbing the power of luck that was blocking the barrier last time, he's become even stronger.

Therefore, he focused most of his attention on Reina.

"Looks like you're afraid of my sneak attack, huh? How about we play a game?!" Seeing the illusionist dodging Whitebeard's attacks while keeping his attention focused on him, Reina chuckled and said, "Let's play Find the Right Person! Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Oh!"

A plume of smoke rose up, and three identical Reinas appeared simultaneously, then attacked the illusionist from different directions.

"How is this possible?" The illusionist was shocked. He was about to retreat and create distance when Whitebeard seized the opportunity and slashed him on the shoulder with his sword.

"Ah~" The illusionist screamed and rolled away quickly on the ground.

"Didn't I tell you? You're dead today!" One of the Reinas slashed directly at the illusionist.

The illusionist gritted his teeth and, despite the risk of injury, punched Reina.

"Oh!"

The Reina he attacked disappeared in a puff of smoke, but two other Reinas stepped forward at the same time and left wounds on him again.

"Is this also a kind of illusion?" The illusionist wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth after dodging Reina and asked.

“This isn’t an illusion, it’s a ninjutsu!” both Reinas said at the same time.

Meanwhile, Whitebeard had caught up and, along with two Reinas, surrounded him again from three directions.

But at that moment, several powerful energies erupted again from the depths of the island. The illusionist's face lit up with joy; he knew that his reinforcements had arrived.

"Big brother... we can't delay any longer!" Reina and Whitebeard naturally sensed it immediately.

Whitebeard nodded as well. The enemy he sensed using his Observation Haki was quite strong, and some even had a similar aura to the person in front of him.

Meanwhile, Vista, who was directing operations from the rear of the battlefield, also sensed the enemy's presence. However, he hadn't fully identified the enemy yet, and his people couldn't leave completely, especially the Straw Hat crew, who hadn't yet determined the outcome of their battle. He couldn't take all the captains with him.

As for Reina and Whitebeard, he didn't care much. Even if he couldn't eliminate the enemy, Reina and Whitebeard's safety wouldn't be a problem.

"Vita!" Just as Vista was thinking, Lacjoo came over.

Currently, Marco and Ace of the Whitebeard Pirates are helping the Revolutionary Army, and with Sabo also going to provide support, the Revolutionary Army has a considerable number of strong fighters. Even if the first wave of enemy reinforcements arrives, it will be impossible for them to break through their defenses for the time being. Therefore, whether to go to reinforce them or to focus on eliminating the enemies on the battlefield first is a decision that needs to be made immediately.

So Vista and Lacou exchanged a glance and immediately knew what the other was thinking.

“I’ll stay here and command. You take the captains over there to help. They don’t need ordinary soldiers over there, just captains!” Vista spoke first.

Lakyo nodded and said, "I'll take five men with me, the rest are yours!"

With Lacko and the five captains, plus Marco and Ace who were already there, half of the Whitebeard Pirates' captains had gone to provide support.

However, with the Straw Hat crew here, they've taken on a lot of the strong enemies, so we don't need that many captains. We just need to be careful not to let the enemies escape.

Just after Laco led some of the captains away, Vista looked worriedly in the direction where Reyner and Whitebeard were. As long as a winner was decided on their side, their biggest goal would be achieved. Otherwise, if the enemy's reinforcements broke through the blockade, their gains this time would be negligible.

Meanwhile, Luffy, Zoro, and the others who were fighting also noticed the arrival of enemy reinforcements.

"Hahaha... Your death is near, yet you still dare to ambush us! You're courting death!" The extraterrestrial who was fighting Luffy naturally knew that his reinforcements had arrived, so he became arrogant again.

Luffy, who had already activated Gear Second, pursed his lips, looked at the enemy in front of him, and decisively activated Gear Fourth: Balloon Man form. The reason was simple: the Revolutionary Army was the one blocking the reinforcements, and now that the enemy reinforcements had arrived, it meant that the Revolutionary Army's situation was not good, and he had to finish the battle quickly.

The rest of Cao Mao's group shared the same idea.

They knew the value of the extraterrestrial visitors, and it was only through the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army's deliberate concession that they were able to have the opportunity to fight them fairly. However, whether they could obtain the power of destiny depended on their own abilities.

Chapter 886 Kill

As Luffy activated Gear Fourth: Balloon Man, it was like a signal that the Straw Hat crew began to unleash their true abilities. Sanji donned his stealth black battle suit, and Zoro wrapped a bandana around his head.

The battle has officially entered its most intense phase.

"Pfft!"

Reina's Hyōrinmaru sliced ​​through the opponent's skin, and a large amount of blood gushed out. However, the bleeding stopped in an instant because the icy power attached to Hyōrinmaru froze the opponent's wound.

"Damn it!" The illusionist pulled out a dagger from his waist and sliced ​​away all the frozen flesh from the wound. Blood flowed out again, but he quickly brought it under control.

Freezing a wound is a way to stop bleeding, but illusionists dare not let their wounds be frozen because Reina has the ability to control ice. If the ice on the wound is not treated, it is like a time bomb that could be detonated at any time.

So even at the risk of getting injured again, he swiftly chopped off the frozen piece of flesh.

However, before he could make any adjustments, Whitebeard's attack followed.

"Pfft!"

Although the illusionist narrowly avoided Whitebeard's attack, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power is not so easy to defend against. As long as one is within Whitebeard's attack range, it is basically difficult to escape; the only difference is how much one suffers.

“I told you…you can’t escape! Even if your reinforcements come, you still won’t have a chance!” Reina said as he attacked.

His main goal is to keep the other person from resting, so that their brain is constantly under tension, which makes them prone to making mistakes. And once they make a mistake, they will have to pay the price, which could even be the price of their life.

But gradually, the illusionist noticed something strange: many times, he deliberately gave Reina the opportunity to kill him, but Reina never fell for it. He believed that as long as he got rid of Reina, he could not only escape from here, but also kill him in return.

At first, he thought the other party had discovered his intentions, but after observing for a while, he realized that Reina really had no intention of killing him.

After careful observation and probing, the illusionist finally understood that Reina wanted his companion, the powerful man wielding the naginata, to kill him.

So the illusionist began to exploit this weakness, which wasn't really a weakness, and focused his attacks on Whitebeard. Sure enough, Reina reduced the number of attacks and began to support his comrades, which gave the illusionist a lot of breathing room.

However, he didn't know that when he discovered this, Reyner and Whitebeard had also discovered it.

However, they did not negotiate. As Whitebeard intensified his offensive, Reyna switched from offense to defense and stood guard beside Whitebeard.

Seeing that the illusionist seemed to have found a way to stall for time, Reina's lips curled up slightly.

"Bang!" Just as Whitebeard unleashed a slash at the illusionist, which the illusionist dodged, Reina immediately retreated to help Whitebeard block the opponent's counterattack. Whitebeard nodded to Reina without leaving a trace, so Reina quickly took a step back, pretending to protect Whitebeard's side.

Seeing this, the illusionist's eyes lit up, and he launched another attack on Whitebeard. This time, it wasn't just a normal attack; the illusionist also used illusion magic on Whitebeard.

Meanwhile, Reina, who was standing to the side, did not notice the illusion he had secretly used. As he stepped forward to defend himself, he immediately distanced himself from Whitebeard behind him.

"Pfft!" Upon seeing Reina approaching, the illusionist smiled slightly, dodged the attack, and ignored Reina. Instead, he pulled out a dagger from behind his back and plunged it into Whitebeard's body.

But before he could even feel smug, Hyōrinmaru's blade pierced right through his body.

"How...is this possible?" The illusionist turned around in disbelief to look at Reina and said, "You...killed me?"

At this moment, Reina completely ignored her, his Sharingan in his eye sockets spinning wildly, directly dispelling the genjutsu on Whitebeard.

"Hehehe... It wasn't me who killed you!" As soon as Reina finished speaking, the illusionist felt a pain in his neck, and then saw his own body standing there, spitting out blood, but he was getting further and further away from his own body.

"Ah~ I've been beheaded!"

These were the illusionist's last thoughts, after which he was plunged into boundless darkness.

After being killed, the souls of extraterrestrial visitors are attracted by the devices they set up and return to their original world, where they have their own bodies. Once their souls return, it is as if they have been resurrected.

Looking at the illusionist whose neck had been severed by Whitebeard's sword, Reina smiled and said, "Big brother, how does it feel?"

Whitebeard looked at the wound on his chest, which was already visibly healing, and said with a smile, "Just as you said, the power of destiny is repairing my body. However, if I hadn't known beforehand, I probably wouldn't have been able to detect this. As for the extent to which it can be done, it's hard to say right now! Because I can't sense the power of destiny at all!"

Reina nodded and said, "The power of destiny should first repair the hidden injuries in your body, and then the rest will enhance your main body. But even if it doesn't enhance you, just repairing your body will achieve our goal! Once Big Brother's body returns to its peak condition, hunting extraterrestrial visitors will no longer be a problem."

"Gurararara... Let's go take a look over there!" Perhaps Whitebeard had tasted the benefits of the power of destiny, pointing deep into the island where the Revolutionary Army was fighting, and said with a loud laugh.

However, Reina shook his head and said, "I estimate that by the time we get there, they will have already retreated. Their strongest fighter has already been killed by us. There's no point in staying here any longer!"

"Hehe... We have to go and take a look!" the white-bearded man said with a smile.

“Okay!” Reina nodded and, together with Whitebeard, headed towards the center of the island, where the Revolutionary Army was fighting against reinforcements from outer space.

Just as Whitebeard finished off the illusionist, all the extraterrestrials on the island received the news that the powerful figures fighting the Revolutionary Army, despite having the upper hand, immediately jumped out of the battle and all regrouped.

"What's going on?" Marco descended from the sky, landing beside Ace, and asked.

"I don't know!" Ace shook his head and said.

After these extraterrestrial visitors broke out of the battle, the strong members of the Revolutionary Army also gathered together and confronted the other side.

"Leader, they're acting strangely! It seems... they're planning to leave?" A revolutionary army cadre frowned as he looked at the assembled extraterrestrial powerhouses. "But weren't they the ones who had the upper hand just now?"

Chapter 887 Unexpected Situation

Dorag looked at the enemy before him, utterly bewildered.

He had instructed his subordinates to feign weakness in order to annihilate the enemy here. With reinforcements from the Whitebeard Pirates and their Revolutionary Army cadres here, it wasn't impossible to keep all these powerful extraterrestrials here.

But just as the other party was walking step by step into his trap, they suddenly stopped and seemed to be running away, which puzzled him.

He already knew when the enemy's reinforcements appeared for the second time that it was no longer possible to seize their teleporter.

So at that time he had already decided to focus on these reinforcements. Later, when the enemy's third batch of reinforcements and the Whitebeard Pirates' reinforcements arrived one after another, he formulated a battle plan.
