Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Several gunshots rang out in succession, and the pirate standing next to Jacks blew on the barrel of his gun.

"Ding-dong..."

The bullet hit Reina, but did not splatter blood or even injure him; instead, it fell to the ground.

"An ability user?" Seeing that the pistol couldn't even hurt Reina, Jax's eyes narrowed as he asked.

“Dead men…don’t need to know so much!” Reina said, and with a swift movement, the surrounding pirates were all sent flying.

"Quick, fire! Take him down!"

"Bang bang bang..."

The pirates immediately retaliated, but to Reina, these pirates were nothing but trash, so he didn't hold back. After a while, only three people remained in the entire hall.

"Grace, kill him!" Jacks pointed at Reina and roared angrily.

"No problem, boss!" The burly man who had been standing next to him threw away his pistol, roared, and his whole body began to grow larger.

"Oh? A Zoan-type Devil Fruit user?" Reina didn't interrupt him, but waited for him to finish transforming.

“That’s right, I’m the user of the Ox-Ox Fruit, Bison Mode. Kid, prepare to die!” Grace exhaled two streams of hot air from her nostrils as she stared at Reina.

“Hehe…” Reina chuckled lightly, not taking the other party seriously.

"Bison Charge!" Reina's contempt enraged Grace, who charged directly at Reina.

"This... how is this possible?" Grace looked on in disbelief as Reina stopped her with a single finger.

"You guys are pirates from the New World, how can you be so naive?" Reina lightly tapped Grace's forehead with his finger, and the other man was sent flying as if he had been hit by a violent impact.

"Who...who exactly are you?" Jacks looked at Grace, who was lying on the ground, her life hanging in the balance, and asked with a hint of fear.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you... I just want to borrow something from you!" Reina said with a smile.

“Wh...what is that?” Jacks stammered as he backed away.

"Your head!"

"Do not……"

With a flash of blood, Reina packed what he needed into a box and left.

Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

"How's the situation with Zephyr?" Garp, who usually has a carefree attitude, was unusually serious.

"He's suffered a mental blow and is on the verge of a breakdown, but he's physically fine! Sigh... this is really..." Sengoku sighed, shook his head, and said.

“Let’s go see him!” Garp said, standing up.

“It’s better not to go! It might be better to leave Sengoku alone!” A woman dressed as a lieutenant general hesitated before speaking.

“Xiaohe is right, Garp. At this time, let him calm down on his own!” Sengoku nodded and said.

"A dignified Marine Admiral... how could such a thing happen? What does Fleet Admiral Kong say?" Garp seemed somewhat dissatisfied with this matter, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he was quite upset.

"The marshal said he has increased the bounty on the enemy and issued an order to send people to deal with them immediately once their whereabouts are discovered!"

"Hmph! After such a big incident, is that all?" Garp said with a hint of disappointment.

The three remained silent for a while, and finally Garp seemed to dislike the atmosphere, so he got up and left.

At this time, the internal atmosphere in Marineford was not good either. As a Marine Admiral, Zephyr's family was attacked and killed by pirates, which was a public slap in the face to the Marines. However, neither the headquarters high-level officials nor the World Government took any effective measures to deal with it.

A few days later, Zephyr, who had recovered somewhat, found Fleet Admiral Steelbone Sky.

"Zefa... think it over again!" Kong said calmly, sitting in the marshal's office.

"Marshal, I've thought it through very carefully. Over the years, I've been running around for the Navy and haven't been able to spend much time with my family. Now I have no family left, so... I hope you can understand me!" Zephyr said with a sorrowful expression.

"Alright! I won't say anything more. You'll retain your rank of general and stay at headquarters as an instructor! You can teach those up-and-coming talents more often!" Marshal Kong said after a moment's thought.

Zefa opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but was stopped by Marshal Kong.

“Zeff, it’s impossible for you to completely step down. This is the best way for you and for the Navy. You and I have both dedicated our lives to the Navy. Don’t let the sense of justice in our hearts be crushed!”

"Yes, Marshal! I understand!" Although he hadn't achieved his goal, becoming an instructor might be a good idea, so Zefa didn't say anything more.

In the time that followed, Zephyr took on the role of Chief Instructor of the Navy's new recruits, recruiting talented students and formally training these future naval personnel, while also deeply concealing his grief.

Two weeks later, on the sea not far from Marineford, the naval headquarters, Reina rode on Chabes's back, looking at the small island in the distance with the word "Navy" written in large characters, and murmured to himself, "Finally here... Naval Headquarters... Marineford!"

Chapter 74 Reina VS Sengoku

"What's going on? Who is that person?"

"When did this person appear? Quick, someone, seize him!"

At the bay of the naval headquarters, Reina carried a box and a weapon on his back, slowly walking towards the bay. There were many naval soldiers lying on the ground around him, clearly all of whom had been shot down by Reina.

"It's the pirate Akame Reina! Quick, sound the alarm!"

"You're asking for death! You mere pirates dare to come to Marine Headquarters? You have no respect for us at all!"

"Go! Take him down!"

The surrounding naval soldiers were not afraid, only angry. As naval personnel, it was an utter disgrace that a pirate had stormed into Marineford.

"Boom bang bang..."

Reina quickly dispatched the surrounding naval soldiers. They were all ordinary soldiers, none of them particularly formidable, which is why Reina was able to deal with them so easily. However, he could no longer afford to be careless, as he had already spotted several men wearing cloaks of justice on their backs heading this way—the insignia of naval officers.

“Zefa…get out here…get out here…come out…come out…” Reina jumped onto the bay wall, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly into Marineford.

"General Zephyr? What's this guy up to?"

"He's here to see Admiral Zephyr? What does Akame want?"

The arriving naval commanders did not take immediate action, but instead looked at Reina, wanting to see what he was planning to do.

Meanwhile, on the high-rise building of headquarters, Marshal Kong was looking at Reina in the bay, with Garp, Sengoku, and Tsuru behind him.

"Hahahaha... This kid came to Marineford, could it be to stand up for Zephyr?" Karp said with a loud laugh when he saw Reina all alone.

"No matter what his purpose is in coming here, he is trampling on the dignity of our navy. Admiral, let me deal with him!" Sengoku turned to Kong and volunteered.

Kong nodded, signifying the passing of the Warring States period.

“Zeffa… I gave you a gift when you got married, but I didn’t give you a gift when your son was born. Now I’m here to give you a gift! An old friend has come, why don’t you come out and greet him?” Seeing more and more marines coming, but not Zefa, Reina shouted loudly again.

"Red-Eyed Reina! You have some nerve! Where do you think you are? This is the Navy Headquarters!" A naval captain couldn't hold back and charged directly at Reina.

"Hmph! Naval Headquarters? So what?" Reina put the box in his hand on the ground and blocked the other party's attack with one hand.

"boom!"

Reina turned around and used a whip kick to knock his opponent back, but did not pursue him. He just stood there and waited for Zefa to appear.

Zephyr, who was instructing his students at the training ground, had obviously noticed the commotion ahead, but he hadn't heard Reina's voice and therefore didn't know what was happening until a naval soldier ran up, panting, and shouted at him:

"Admiral Zephyr, something terrible has happened! The pirate Akame Reyner is attacking Marineford, claiming he's come to deliver a gift to you!"

"Huh? Red-eyed Reina? Attacking Marineford? This joke isn't funny at all!" Zephyr was taken aback, then shook his head and said.

He might have believed it if the entire Whitebeard Pirates were attacking, but Reina alone? What was he doing here? Surrendering?

"Admiral Zephyr, it's true! He's currently in the bay confronting our men!" a naval soldier said anxiously.

Zephyr glanced at the naval soldier and, realizing the man seemed genuinely serious, asked again, "Really?"

"Really! You'll see for yourself!" The soldier nodded and replied earnestly.

After thinking for a moment, Zefa turned to all the students and said, "Practice on your own first. I have something to take care of."

After saying that, he left with the naval soldiers.

At this moment, among the trainees, a young man wearing a red shirt with a flower-like tattoo on his chest looked at his companion with a lewd expression and said, "Borusalino, interested in taking a look?"

"Pirates... they're too scary, Sakazuki. We'd better not get too close!" the young man known as Borsalino replied casually.

"Hmph! No matter what kind of pirates they are, they are all evil beings and should be completely eliminated!" Sakazuki sneered.

However, Kizaru didn't care. The surrounding students seemed to know Sakazuki's personality, so they didn't object. But like Sakazuki, they all wanted to go and see.

Among this batch of trainees, the strongest were Sakazuki and Borsalino, both known as "monster" rookies and were the Navy's key focus for training.

So even though the trainees wanted to go up and watch, they had to see what the two of them would choose.

Fortunately, the two did not disappoint everyone, and while talking, they chased after the place where Zefa had just left.

At Marineford Port, Reina was fighting with the naval officers. The navy didn't rush in all at once, after all, this was their territory, and they still had some dignity. They just went up to fight Reina one by one.

"Reina... I don't know what you want with Zephyr, but now that you're here, you're not leaving!" Soon, Sengoku, a lieutenant general, arrived at the port.

Upon seeing Sengoku, everyone except the colonel who was fighting Reina stepped back slightly to give Sengoku space.

"Hahaha... Sengoku the Buddha? Finally, some real action! Where's Zephyr? Too embarrassed to show his face or what?" Reina kicked the colonel aside and laughed as he spoke to Sengoku.

"Reina... I will not let you trample on the dignity of the Navy!" Sengoku ripped off his cloak, clearly intending to take action immediately.

Reina took a deep breath. He knew he had to get serious, or he would be finished before he even saw Zefa.

"I'll give you a chance to tell me why you're here!" Sengoku stared at Reina and said in a deep voice.

“Didn’t I tell you? I’m just here to deliver a gift!” Reina took the weapon he had been carrying on his back.

"A gift?" Sengoku glanced at the box not far from Reina, but he didn't believe that Reina's purpose in coming here was merely to give Zephyr a gift.

“It seems Zefa won’t come out unless I defeat you! Then let me test... how far I’ve come in these three years of training!” Reina drew his sword.

The blade glowed with a blue light and emitted wisps of cold air. The guard was shaped like a four-pointed star.

This was a gift from the system after he had checked in for three consecutive years. It contained Hyōrinmaru, the strongest ice-type Zanpakutō from the anime "Bleach".

However, he hasn't had it for very long, so he's not yet fully proficient with Hyōrinmaru, but its impact on his combat power has already surpassed that of Muramasa.

"No matter what, you will not escape unscathed today!" Sengoku's figure began to grow larger, and his whole body radiated golden light.

Reina knew that this was his ability, because Sengoku was a Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit user, Mythical Zoan type, Buddha form.

"Sharingan...activate!"

Reina's eyes turned red instantly, and three black tomoe rotated within his pupils.

That's right, his Sharingan has evolved again. It took Reina 100,000 points and two Bloodline Ability Evolution Scrolls to successfully evolve it.
