Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

This is a significant favor, and it is indeed necessary to have them visit in person.

Reina lowered his head, lost in thought. He hadn't expected the extraterrestrial visitors to retaliate so quickly.

As for Whitebeard's speculation, the fact that the enemy must have enough territory to meet the conditions for the arrival of their powerful figures is indeed a possibility.

But in Reina's opinion, there might be other reasons.

The consecutive deaths of two level 45 powerhouses forced them to adopt a tough stance in order to arouse the suspicion of the powerful figures in the One Piece world.

However, Reina didn't say much about this, because it wasn't the right time for the Whitebeard Pirates to launch another full-scale attack.

The previous battle gave the crew an overall boost, and they need time to digest it. In addition, more than half of the captains are injured and they also need time to rest.

So regardless of whether his guess is true or not, the Whitebeard Pirates no longer have the ability to test him, so there is absolutely no need for him to reveal it and let other forces take advantage of it.

The attack by the extraterrestrial visitors was unexpected, which is why captains like Jingudo were injured. Fortunately, no one died, so Reina wasn't in a hurry to cause trouble for the extraterrestrial visitors.

"Brother, I plan to continue my secluded cultivation!" Reina said to Whitebeard after everyone had left.

"Hmm?" The white-bearded man frowned and asked, "Didn't you just come out of that tower? Did that extraterrestrial visitor put pressure on you? Don't worry, with your strength, you're not necessarily weaker than him!"

“I know, but with my current strength, it will be very difficult to defeat him!” Reina shook his head and said, “The Tower of Trials is a place to train my abilities. I feel that my Sharingan has not yet reached its limit, so I want to try to see if I can continue to improve!”

Whitebeard thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, but since Robin is here right now, don't train yet. Spend more time with Robin, and you can start training after they leave!"

Reina nodded; that was what he had originally planned to do as well.

When the Straw Hat crew retreated, they also retreated back here with them and have been on this small island for the past few days. Robin did not stay with her companions, but instead stayed with Reina.

As her companions knew, Robin was rarely by Reina's side, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior.

Back home, Robin was sunbathing and reading in the yard.

"Father, what happened? I saw some noise at the port early this morning," Robin asked with a smile when he saw Reina return.

"Yes! The island we captured before has been driven back by the extraterrestrials!" Reina nodded and said, "If it weren't for the Naga's warning, several captains probably wouldn't have made it back! But because of their advance warning, the losses this time weren't too great!"

"Huh? They launched their attack so quickly?" Robin asked in surprise.

Reina shrugged and said, "The number of islands controlled by the extraterrestrial visitors has decreased significantly, so they will not easily lose their territory again! The number of powerful beings they can send is related to the size of the territory they occupy. The more islands they occupy, the more powerful beings they can send!"

"I see!" Robin suddenly realized.

"So what are your plans next?" Reina asked, looking at his daughter.

“Help Luffy achieve his dream!” Robin replied with a slight smile.

Chapter 892 Luffy's Dream

"Luffy's dream? Hasn't he always said he wants to be the Pirate King? Now that you've reached the final island, in a sense, he's already the Pirate King!" Reina said with a chuckle. "He wouldn't really want to defeat all the pirates and then claim the throne, would he?"

Robin shook her head and replied, "Luffy isn't someone who cares about that. His dream is freedom! Freedom for the whole world!"

Reina frowned and said, "Does he want to liberate the whole world? Or overthrow the World Government? Or... has he inherited Dragon's will? If so, why not just join the Revolutionary Army? Otherwise, the few of you can't complete this mission!"

Robin smiled slightly and said, "No, Luffy has no such plans. The freedom he speaks of is the freedom for everyone in the world to go wherever they want!"

“You mean…” Reina suddenly realized something, looked at Robin in disbelief, and asked, “No way? That kid, he really intends to do this?”

Seeing Reina's expression, Robin said, "Father knew the secret of the final island all along, didn't he?"

“I don’t know!” Reina shook his head and replied.

"Huh?" Robin looked at Reina with some surprise. He thought Reina knew something, which was why he said those things earlier.

"You're wondering why I don't know the secret of the final island, but I know what Luffy wants to do, right?" Reina said with a smile when he saw Robin's expression. "That's because that kid... said something when he was a kid... about what he wanted to do! But I thought he was just daydreaming. But now that you say so, I think that kid must have been talking about that thing!"

Upon hearing this, Robin nodded and said, "That's right, Luffy said... he wants to make the world a place without barriers!!"

"Ah~ that certainly fits that kid's personality! But this isn't going to be easy! First of all, because of Reverse Mountain, the Four Seas and the Grand Line are practically unobstructed, but that's definitely not the result that kid wants! So the only thing he can do now is destroy the Red Line! As long as a gap is opened in the Red Line, then the Four Seas and the Grand Line will be completely merged!" Reina said with a headache:

"To accomplish this, firstly, the World Government will definitely not agree, so if he wants to do it, he must defeat the World Government! Secondly, destroying the Red Line is impossible by human power alone; he must rely on the power of Pluton and Uranus! Moreover, Fish-Man Island is located beneath the Red Line, so he will also need the power of Poseidon Shirahoshi and the Naga Queen to help Fish-Man Island evacuate! Therefore, he still needs to persuade Fish-Man Island!"

Robin listened to his father's analysis, smiled, and said, "Actually, it doesn't have to be that complicated!"

"Oh? What are your plans? Or rather... what are your intentions?" Reina asked curiously.

"First of all, the Revolutionary Army and the World Government are enemies, so it's not like we're the only ones going against the World Government. We just need to negotiate with Mary Geoise and get them to evacuate, and that won't have any impact! Secondly, given Luffy's relationship with Fish-Man Island and the agreement Joy Boy made with Poseidon, Fish-Man Island isn't a problem either! Our biggest problem is destroying the Red Line! Luckily, I know the location of Pluton, and Franky has seen the blueprints for Pluton, so even if Pluton is damaged, we can repair it! Finally... Father knows about the Mink Tribe, right?" Robin replied with a smile.

“Of course, the Mink Tribe is fighting alongside you in Wano Country, so helping you shouldn’t be a problem. But this is something the Mink Tribe can’t help with. Even with Hades, destroying the Red Line would be extremely difficult, let alone the Celestial Dragons, who would absolutely never agree to leave Mary Geoise!” Reina shook his head and said.

“I know, but the Mink Tribe I’m talking about isn’t the actual Mink Tribe, it’s Zunesha!” Robin said in a deep voice, “When Luffy transforms into Nikka form, his heartbeat is the Drum of Liberation!”

"I really didn't expect you all to know about something like this. Is it because of the treasure on the final island?" Reina sighed and said, "The so-called Nika is the sun god, the god of liberation, and the god of joy. Therefore, he and the World Government are natural enemies! But the World Government... is not so easy to deal with. They have many secrets!"

"Does Father know any information?" Robin asked Reina.

Reina shook his head and said, "You know the Celestial Dragons, and you know the Five Elders, but do you know Im?"

“I know!” Robin replied softly.

"Hmm, so you really don't... know?" Reina looked at Robin in surprise and asked, "You know someone named Im?"

“Yes! There is indeed information about Im on the final island!” Robin nodded and replied.

"What did you say?" Reina asked curiously.

“It wasn’t explained in much detail. It only said that he created the world and was the Buddha of Creation!” Robin said softly. “But none of us believe it. What kind of creator god is there in this world? Just like the so-called sun god Nika, he was just an ordinary human being!”

“Hoo~” Reina took a deep breath and said, “So, how much do you know about lunar civilization?”

"Lunar civilization? Sky islands?" Robin frowned and said, "I have a guess that the people on the sky islands... are remnants of the lunar people? They all have wings!"

"The story of the Moon People cannot be told all at once. I can only guess that the Moon People originally came from our planet, but their overdevelopment led to their destruction. In the end, the remaining Moon People returned here under the leadership of two leaders. They wanted to establish an ideal country, but the two leaders disagreed. One wanted to establish a huge kingdom, while the other wanted to establish a sky island!"

"Later, the Great Kingdom wanted to open up the four seas and connect the whole world, but another leader disagreed. So, he joined forces with twenty kings from the Grand Line and destroyed the Great Kingdom!"

Reina said softly:

"That's roughly my guess!"

"So Father believes... that the one who established the World Government... is Im? And he's still alive?" Robin asked incredulously. "Or is it just a code name? And every successor is called Im?"

“No, there has only ever been one Im!” Reina shook his head and said, “So… I suspect he is a homunculus!”

"Huh?" Robin was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth; he was stunned by Reina's guess.

Chapter 893 Reina's Ideas

"Im... is a homunculus?" Robin looked at Reina in shock and asked incredulously.

“It’s just my guess!” Reina shook his head and said.

Robin remained silent upon hearing this, because she knew that what her father said was basically true, even if it was just a guess.

"So Father thinks Luffy can't fulfill his dream?" Robin hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Does it matter?" Reina smiled slightly and said, "Does it mean that if I say he can't do it, that brat won't do it? Or will you just give up on helping him?"

“No!” Robin replied firmly.

“Isn’t that it?” Reina said with a light laugh. “So what I say isn’t important. What’s important is what you think and whether you’re determined to do it! Even if you don’t succeed, so what? At least there’s hope of success if you do it. If you don’t do it, you have nothing!”

Robin nodded and said, "I understand! I believe Luffy will succeed! As long as he doesn't give up, we won't give up either!"

“Although things are difficult, I believe there are always more solutions than problems! And… now you have a natural ally, don’t you?” Reina looked around and then whispered, “The extraterrestrials’ goal is to conquer our planet, so they are natural enemies of the World Government. Sometimes you might as well make use of them!”

Robin's eyes lit up, and he nodded thoughtfully.

“But don’t forget, the extraterrestrials are the enemy of all of us, so the best way is to make them and the World Government both suffer heavy losses.” Seeing this, Reina continued, “However, there are still some difficulties, because the World Government obviously hasn’t realized the threat of the extraterrestrials! Previously, we planned to abandon the North Blue and let the World Government face the extraterrestrials alone, while we retreated to the New World!”

“No!” Before Reina could finish speaking, Robin shook his head and said, “Father, the extraterrestrials are a greater threat than the World Government. If the World Government wins, they can at most maintain the status quo, but if the extraterrestrials win, then our world will be in danger!”

"Don't worry, we're not short-sighted!" Reina shook his head and said, "So that plan won't work! The best way is to force the extraterrestrials to form an elite squad to attack Mary Geoise. This will both weaken Mary Geoise and deplete the extraterrestrials' strength. Once they reach our territory, they will have no way to escape!"

After thinking it over carefully, Robin nodded and said, "If it can be accomplished, it would indeed be an invaluable plan, but they have absolutely no reason to attack Mary Geoise!"

“That’s hard to say!” Reina said with a smile. “Do you know how we planned to lure extraterrestrial visitors if you hadn’t shown up?”

Robin pursed his lips, shook his head, and said, "I don't know."

“It’s simple!” Reina replied, “Use the teleporters! So far, the extraterrestrials have only lost two teleporters, both of which are in our hands! As long as they know about the teleporters, they will take the risk! More importantly… during the last battle, I inadvertently revealed that I am currently storing the teleporters in Mary Geoise, because the most powerful force in our world is guarding them there!”

Looking at the smile on his father's face, Robin suddenly felt that his father was really too cunning.

They actually started planning this at this point. The world government hasn't even paid attention to the extraterrestrial visitors yet, but my father is already digging a pit for them.

After some consideration, Robin realized that the plan was indeed feasible, and if handled well, it might actually play a decisive role.

After chatting with Reina for a while, Robin left under the pretext of going shopping. Reina knew that she must have gone to discuss things with her friends.

Robin didn't return home until dinner time that evening.

"Have you eaten? I just made some simple dishes, would you like to try some?" Reina asked, pointing to the dishes laid out on the table.

Robin paused for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Okay!"

This was specially prepared by Reina for Robin. He was a pretty good cook and used to cook often. After coming to the world of One Piece, especially when he joined the Whitebeard Pirates, he even served as the ship's chef for a while. However, after Thatch joined, Reina rarely went into the kitchen anymore.

"How does it taste?" Reina asked after watching Robin taste each dish.

“It’s delicious!” Robin replied with a smile.

This was the first time he had eaten food prepared by his father. If he were a child, he might have been moved to tears by now. But now that he's grown up and experienced more, he can control his emotions.

"If you like it, eat more!" Reina said with a smile.

He hadn't cooked in a long time, and his skills had become rusty, so he was afraid Robin wouldn't like it.

Robin nodded as he ate his food.

Although she had already had dinner with her friends before returning, it didn't stop her from eating again.

After the father and daughter had enjoyed a warm dinner, Reina finally asked, "Are you going to stay in Beihai or go somewhere else?"

"We'll probably still be in the North Blue for now! Luffy's quite interested in extraterrestrial visitors, and everyone wants to continue exploring here!" Robin replied.

Upon hearing this, Reina nodded and said, "Are you planning to go back to the Chaotic Zone, or stay here? After this incident, the extraterrestrial visitors probably won't dare to continue targeting you! But you still need to be careful!"

"Luffy's idea is to look around the North Blue! He hasn't decided which island to stay on yet," Robin shrugged and replied.

After staying with the Whitebeard Pirates for a few days, the Straw Hat crew finally decided to continue their voyage. As for their destination, according to Luffy, as free pirates, they should go with the flow.

So Reina, Marco, Ace, Sabo, and the others didn't ask any more questions, but simply saw them off at the port.
