Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Nami and Usopp's opponents escaped, but Luffy and I have taken care of our opponents!" Robin shook her head and said.

“I see! The extraterrestrial visitors have already retreated. If you’re interested, you can go after them. If not, I’ll have the captains take care of them!” Reina said after thinking for a moment.

Luffy glanced at his crewmates, shook his head, and said, "You guys can handle those guys!"

"What? You still couldn't sense the power of destiny this time?" Reina asked in surprise.

Luffy scratched his head, nodded, and replied, "I don't feel any change!"

Zoro and Sanji both shook their heads, indicating that they had not sensed any change either.

Jinbe and Brook, however, remained silent, seemingly hesitating about something.

Their actions naturally caught the attention of Reina and Luffy, but Reina wasn't one to investigate, so he smiled and said, "I still have a lot of things to take care of here, so I won't talk to you any longer. The small island not far from here is our forward base. You can rest there if you're tired! Robin, please take care of Luffy. I'll go and take care of things first!"

Robin nodded upon hearing this, and after Reina left, she looked at Brook and Jinbe and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Jinbe and Brook exchanged a glance, then both gave an awkward smile.

"Actually, I don't know if it counts as a change!" Jinbe said somewhat innocently, "Just now, with First Mate Reina here, I was a little embarrassed to say it, but I feel... my body seems to have undergone some changes!"

"What changes?" Everyone looked at Jinbe and asked.

"Um..." Jinbe blushed, unsure how to answer for a moment.

"What exactly is the change?" Usopp asked anxiously.

Finally, with no other choice, Jinbe waved to Chopper and whispered something in Chopper's ear.

"Huh?" Chopper looked at Jinbe in shock, then glanced at Jinbe's body, shook his head and replied, "This... I really haven't noticed before!"

Seeing Chopper and Jinbe's appearance, everyone became even more curious, but Jinbe ignored his companions and kept gritting his teeth without answering.

Seeing this, the others all looked at Brook, who, like Jinbe, had also felt the changes in his body.

Seeing this, Brooke didn't waste any words and directly opened his clothes to let his friends see his body.

He was just a skeleton anyway, so there was nothing about him that couldn't be seen.

"What... has changed?" Sanji asked curiously after examining Brook closely.

Everyone looked at Brooke, but they didn't notice anything different.

"Hehehe..." Brooke chuckled first, then pointed to his tailbone and said, "Look here, I feel itchy here, like something is about to grow out!"

Everyone then looked in the direction Brooke pointed, and there they saw that a bone was indeed slowly protruding. Because not much bone had grown yet, it was hard to notice unless you looked closely.

"Wow~~ It's true! It looks like something is about to grow out. Brook, you're amazing!" Luffy praised Brook excitedly.

"Hehehe..." Brooke laughed, somewhat bewildered. Although he didn't know why this thing had grown, it didn't stop him from being delighted.

"What...is this?" Sanji asked Brook, looking at him blankly.

"I don't know!" Brooke replied honestly.

Zoro's face darkened, and he said, "If you don't know what it is, what are you so smug about? Does this thing help your strength at all?"

“No!” Brook shook his head and replied, “But it should be helpful for Jinbe, right?”

Everyone then turned their attention to Jinbe.

Seeing his companions staring at him, Jinbe felt an invisible pressure even though he didn't say anything.

"Jinbe, did you grow a bone too?" Luffy asked Jinbe curiously.

Jinbe blushed and stammered, unable to utter a word.

"He has an extra little tail!" Chopper exclaimed at that moment.

"Oh~~~ Let me see, I want to see!" Luffy perked up immediately upon hearing this, running towards Jinbe while shouting.

"A tail?" The others looked at Chopper in surprise.

"Well... it's not a tail!" Jinbe waved his hand while dodging Luffy's harassment, and said, "Our fish-men's legs are our tails, so we don't usually have extra tails. But... I think I've suddenly grown a little bit of a tail. I don't know if it will keep growing!"

"When did it start?" Robin asked, tilting his chin.

"Yes... just after we killed the powerful alien visitor!" Jinbe replied honestly.

"Then why don't I feel anything?" Zoro asked, frowning.

"Yeah! I really want to have a tail too!" Luffy said with a frustrated expression, "It sounds so interesting!"

Everyone was speechless. What was this all about?

Sure enough, upon hearing Luffy's words, Jinbe's face darkened, and he said, "This is not a good thing. If I have a tail, am I no longer human?"

“But…you’re not human! You’re a fish-man, a fish-man!” everyone said in unison.

Chapter 890 Fighting Spirit

After separating from Luffy and the others, Reina began to help the captains who hadn't managed to escape in time. As for Whitebeard and Dragon, they weren't in much trouble. With their strength, as long as they weren't hit head-on, this level of attack wouldn't be enough to seriously injure them.

Moreover, Reina absorbed most of the damage from the explosion, so although the two were somewhat disheveled, they were not in serious trouble.

With Reina's help, the captains and Revolutionary Army cadres were all found. Apart from a few unlucky kids who were seriously injured, the rest were mostly slightly injured.

However, in exchange, the extraterrestrial visitors on the island were wiped out by the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army. Most of the ordinary members and officers gained a lot of luck power, so overall it was a great harvest.

After the matter was over, the Whitebeard Pirates left a few captains and some members to guard the island, while the rest returned to their previous temporary base. After all, there was nothing there, and it needed time to develop before it could become another temporary base and then move on to the next island to turn it into a new battlefield.

After returning to their temporary base, the Whitebeard Pirates held a victory celebration, and other forces also learned that they had successfully captured a small island.

Normally, attacking extraterrestrial visitors requires the cooperation of a great deal of forces, but this time the Whitebeard Pirates only contacted the Revolutionary Army and successfully captured a small island. This news has left various forces somewhat surprised and uncertain.

The reason they cooperated in Beihai was because of the rapid support from the extraterrestrial visitors; no single force could withstand it.

But now that the Whitebeard Pirates have done it, does that mean that the Whitebeard Pirates no longer need their allies?

Apart from Sengoku of the Navy, who knew a little bit of the inside story, the other crew members were very puzzled. They couldn't understand how the Whitebeard Pirates had managed to break through the enemy's rapid reinforcements.

Yes, everyone believed that the Whitebeard Pirates could only win if they could figure out the speed at which the extraterrestrial reinforcements arrived; otherwise, they had no chance of winning in a direct confrontation.

Actually, this incident was quite unexpected for Reina. He never intended to occupy the island; his goal was to kill the powerful extraterrestrial visitor and help Whitebeard absorb the power of destiny.

As a result of a series of unforeseen events, the current situation has come to this.

"Reina, are you confident you can defeat the last extraterrestrial visitor who appeared?" At the victory celebration, Whitebeard raised his wine glass, looked at Reina, and asked.

After absorbing the power of destiny, although Whitebeard did not feel that he had become stronger, the injuries in his body, including the hidden injuries he had suffered in his youth, had basically been healed. Moreover, he could faintly sense that the power of destiny was still repairing his body.

So his body, which normally required some treatment to maintain, no longer needs any. Even the white-bearded man, who hasn't been drinking freely for a long time, now feels that no matter how much he drinks, it won't burden his body.

“No!” Reina shook his head, his face somewhat grim, and said, “I can’t gauge his strength. Although it was only a brief exchange, his physical abilities are definitely extremely powerful!”

“That person gave me a feeling of… great danger. He said he was a Venerable above the Title Master, could he be… a level 46 powerhouse?” Dorrag put down his wine bottle and speculated.

They now know that a level 45 expert is a titled expert, so what is stronger than a titled expert is a level 46 expert, right?

“No!” Reina shook his head and said, “Illusionists and Barriers are both level 45 or above. I feel that Barriers are stronger, maybe level 46 or 47. Their level division is very fine, and the difference between levels cannot be this big!”

“So… he’s a level 50 powerhouse?” Sabo asked from the side.

“Very likely!” Reina nodded and said, “At least level 50 is needed to become a titled holder! Or rather, they awaken at level 45 and undergo a second awakening at level 50?”

“It shouldn’t exist!” Whitebeard shook his head and said, “Although I sensed that he was very powerful, he wasn’t powerful enough to make me feel helpless! So he should have only awakened once! His title is Destruction, which means that the ability he awakened is related to destruction?”

"In short... next time we meet, we'll know just how strong he really is!" Originally, because he had absorbed the power of destiny and cultivated in the Tower of Trials, Reina felt that the visitor from outer space was nothing special. But now, he felt a sense of crisis.

The emergence of a new enemy cast a shadow over everyone, because they all knew that the opponent was very powerful, and they might not have a chance of winning in a one-on-one fight.

When facing level 45 enemies, as long as they are not invincible beings like illusionists, they can fight against both Whitebeard and Dragon. It is hard to say who will win or lose. However, when facing the Destroyer, they can sense that the opponent's strength is likely above theirs.

Thinking of the enemy's strength, everyone drank silently and stopped talking.

"There shouldn't be many strong people like that among the enemies, right? It's even very possible that that person is the strong one who guards the final island, which is why he came and went in such a hurry. It's better to know the enemy's strength now than to find out later!" Just then, Ace, who was eating barbecue, suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Everyone looked at Ace, feeling that what he said seemed to make sense.

“That’s right! The time when we can defeat him might just be the time when we drive away the extraterrestrial visitor!” Reina said, pursing his lips.

His current strength is not incapable of improvement. Neither the Black Emperor's abilities nor the Sharingan have reached their limits yet. Once he accumulates enough points and exchanges them for the Rinnegan, he might be able to defeat his opponent.

Moreover, he was able to block most of the explosion's power today thanks to Black Emperor's ability. He currently has one million points, and if he upgrades Black Emperor's ability again, it wouldn't be impossible for him to completely block an explosion of that magnitude.

Therefore, whether it's spending a million to advance to the Black Emperor level now, or accumulating points to exchange for the Rinnegan, both can make one more powerful. So, a mere Venerable is not an untouchable existence.

After figuring it out, Reina's eyes once again shone with intense fighting spirit, which greatly pleased Whitebeard, who was standing to the side.

After the last conversation with Reina, it was clear that Reina had realized his shortcomings and had become even more motivated than before, which is an indispensable quality for becoming a strong person.

Chapter 891 Counterattack

The day after the Whitebeard Pirates' victory celebration, before Reyna could even enter the Tower of Trials for training, Whitebeard summoned him to the council hall.

"What's going on?" Reina had just entered the council hall when he saw several captains covered in bandages.

"The island we had before... was taken back by extraterrestrial visitors. If we hadn't evacuated quickly, we probably would have been stuck there too!" Jin Guduo said with a wry smile.

When the captains encountered the enemy's attack, they originally planned to resist. Since the island had already been occupied by them, there was no stronghold for the extraterrestrials, so they could not use the teleporter. This would have allowed them to defend against the enemy's offensive while calling for reinforcements.

But just as they were about to make their move, the Naga of the Fish-Man race found them. It turned out that after taking the island, the Naga had Shirahoshi join her in having the Sea Kings and sea monsters clear out the surrounding waters to see if they could find the enemy's stronghold on the seabed. And they actually did find it.

They originally planned to consult with Reina to see if they could take down the underwater base, but before they could leave, they saw that the extraterrestrial visitors had launched an attack on the island from the base, so they quickly came to inform the captain who was left behind.

That's why Jin Guduo and the others were able to exchange their injuries for the retreat of the other members.

"Their reaction was really quick!" Reina chuckled and said with narrowed eyes, "But this also proves one thing: the territory they now control must be very important to them, which is why they took it back as soon as possible. Otherwise, it might affect the number of powerful beings they can send down."

“That’s right, so every island we reclaim could be a constraint for them!” Marco nodded and said, “Dad, we can share this intelligence!”

"Hmm!" Whitebeard nodded and said, "However, we haven't heard from Linlin and Kaido since their defeat last time. I wonder what their plans are! On the other hand, the Navy should be very eager to get involved!"

He had a reason for saying that, because Sengoku knew about Reina's speculation on the power of destiny, especially after Whitebeard experienced it himself. He felt that the Navy would not let go of such an opportunity, because even he, if he could, would want to keep hunting down powerful extraterrestrial visitors.

Because of the enhancement of his body by this power of fortune, he felt as if he had returned to his youth, a feeling that was simply wonderful.

That's why he believed that the Navy wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by. Once this news got out, it wouldn't be so easy for them to hunt down powerful extraterrestrials again.

As long as the Whitebeard Pirates spread the message that the extraterrestrial visitors must not lose their territory, Sengoku, with his wisdom, will surely take action.

“But we really have to thank Naga this time. Jingudo, you captains should bring some gifts and visit them in person to thank them for the warning. If it weren’t for their warning, I doubt you would have made it back!” Reina said to Jingudo.

Jin Gu nodded, indicating that he understood.
