Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

In order to gain two million points as quickly as possible, he gave up climbing the tower and instead started fighting again from the first floor after passing the fiftieth floor, which allowed him to gain points much faster.

Although the training effect on him was less, Reina felt it was all worth it when he thought of the Rinnegan.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

After emerging from the Tower of Trials, Reina collapsed to the ground. After resting for a while, he slowly made his way to the dining table and began to eat to replenish his energy.

At this moment, he was not on the Whitebeard Pirates' territory, but on the back of Hard Shell, heading towards the Navy's territory.

He guessed that the navy might take some action soon, so he planned to go and see if there was a chance to encounter the Venerable One from last time.

The two had only had one brief encounter before, which didn't even qualify as a real fight, so Reina didn't know the extent of his opponent's strength.

Moreover, he was confident in his own abilities, and the other party already knew about them, so he had to see the other party's methods firsthand, otherwise he would be at a great disadvantage in the next battle.

On his way to the Navy, he tried to earn as many points as possible in the Tower of Trials so that he could unlock the Rinnegan faster.

Unfortunately, two million points is too much. Even though the Tower of Trials can quickly earn points, Reina needs time to recover after each battle. Otherwise, continuous high-intensity battles will take a toll on his body and mind.

After finishing his meal and taking a shower, Reina finally lay down on the recliner to rest.

In a daze, he didn't know how much time had passed. When Reina woke up again, Hard Shell had already dived into the sea.

"Hmm? Have we arrived already?" Reina looked around at the pitch-black surroundings and yawned.

His order to Hardshell was to dive into the sea upon arrival at the destination to avoid attracting the navy's attention.

After stretching his somewhat stiff body, Reina was able to slowly bring the hard shell to the surface.

"Oh~ it seems the timing is just right!" Reina smiled slightly as he looked at the brightly lit island in the distance.

It's nighttime now, a perfect time to sneak in.

After leaving Hardshell to play by itself nearby, Reina quietly infiltrated the naval forward base.

However, after wandering around the area, he discovered that neither Garp nor Fujitora had any admirals present. Although there were quite a few lieutenant generals, this configuration was definitely not one that intended to launch any operations.

"That's strange. Does the Navy not intend to take action against the extraterrestrials? Or... did Luffy and his crew refuse to help the Navy?" Reina stroked his chin, lost in thought.

As pirates, it's not impossible for Luffy and his crew to refuse to help the Navy. Although Garp is Luffy's grandfather, pirates are inherently opposed to the Navy.

However, even without Luffy and his crew's help, the Navy couldn't remain inactive forever, especially after Sengoku learned the secret of killing the powerful extraterrestrial visitor.

"Could it be... that the Navy has some other plan?" Reina pondered the Navy's movements as he strolled down the street.

Although he couldn't figure out the Navy's intentions for the time being, Reina didn't plan to leave immediately. Instead, he decided to stay there and wait a few days to see what would happen. He figured that if the Navy wanted to take action against extraterrestrial visitors, they would never bypass their own bases, so waiting here was the best option.

After making up his mind, Reina stayed at the hotel on the island. In addition to the Navy, there were also some pirates active there, but compared to the Whitebeard Pirates' territory, the pirates operating here were much more cautious.

Although the Navy wouldn't openly attack them, the Navy and pirates have different stances, making the pirate crew feel constrained here.

Unlike the Whitebeard Pirates' territory, there were more civilians here, and the industry and resources were more abundant, so Reina easily found a nice inn.

Chapter 903 Clarification

The day after Reyner arrived at the naval front-line base, he discovered that the navy had launched an attack on the extraterrestrials without an admiral present.

Extremely surprised, Reina secretly arrived at the front line. He thought that Garp and the others would come from another direction to join the main force of the Navy, but he did not see Garp and the others until the main force of the Navy withdrew. The Navy really did not use the combat power of the Admiral level.

"What are they doing?" The next morning, Reina discovered that the navy was actually assembling troops again, seemingly planning to continue the attack on the extraterrestrial visitors.

Seeing the assembled naval force launch another attack on the island of extraterrestrial visitors, and then retreat again by evening, Reina was filled with doubt.

He didn't understand what the navy was doing. Fighting the enemy like this seemed to serve no purpose other than depleting their own forces.

Ordinary extraterrestrial visitors require very few resources to arrive, and even if the navy kills many of them, they can always re-arrive at any time.

They must understand that their enemy is an entire planet, not just a particular power. The enemy has a large number of troops, and as long as they have enough resources, they can continuously send new troops over.

Therefore, this method of depleting the enemy's forces was no longer used by major powers a long time ago.

Reina observed the area for several days but still couldn't discover the navy's objective. However, the frequency of the navy's attacks decreased, from launching attacks every day to launching an attack only once every three days.

Just as Reina was about to leave, he suddenly discovered that another naval warship had arrived.

"So they really came!" Reina's eyes flashed as he looked at Sengoku, Garp, and the others disembarking from the warship at the port, and muttered to himself.

If Sengoku and the others come here, then my waiting here for several days will not have been in vain.

“Brubrub... Brubrub..." In the evening, just as Reina was about to go out to the Navy to continue his investigation, the special Den Den Mushi on his left wrist rang.

"Hello~ This is Reina!" Reina said softly after answering the Den Den Mushi.

"Reina, it's me, Marco! Is it a good time to talk now?" Marco's voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

“Okay! Go ahead!” Reina stopped and went back into the room to reply.

"We just received an invitation from Big Mom and the Beast Pirates to launch an attack on the extraterrestrial visitors in three days!" Marco said without further ado.

"Oh?" Reina asked in surprise, "Weren't they terrified of the extraterrestrials? Are they launching a counterattack so soon?"

"They've killed extraterrestrials who were level 40 or higher!" Marco stated the crucial point directly.

Reina was taken aback. This meant that Big Mom and Kaido both knew that killing high-level extraterrestrial visitors could enhance their strength. No wonder they invited the Whitebeard Pirates to join them at this time.

Because they had defeated the extraterrestrial visitors some time ago, Big Mom and Kaido guessed that they already knew this secret, which is why they contacted them at this time.

In their view, Whitebeard had just experienced a great battle and was unlikely to be able to kill any more powerful extraterrestrials. They, on the other hand, had recovered and, if the Whitebeard Pirates could delay some of the extraterrestrials and create opportunities for them, they could potentially gain a large amount of luck power again.

“They’ve thought things through quite clearly! But why should we attack them? Wouldn’t we gain more benefits if we waited until they sent troops out before taking action?” Reina said with a light laugh after figuring out the reason.

"So you mean... to reject them!?" Marco asked in surprise.

He thought Reina would agree, since it would be a win-win situation.

"What's your brother's opinion?" Reina asked after thinking for a moment.

“Dad just asked me to ask your opinion, and he doesn’t seem to care!” Marco shrugged and said, “Although it’s called cooperation, it’s really just each of us fighting our own battles. We’ve only agreed to attack at the same time to disperse the extraterrestrials’ forces! We can take this opportunity to make some money too!”

"What do the other captains think?" Reina thought for a moment and then asked.

“Everyone does have this idea, after all, no one wants more luck!” Marco replied.

Reina sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want everyone to earn this power of fortune, but the risk is just too great!"

"Too risky?" Marco asked, puzzled. "With Big Mom and Kaido distracting the enemy, is there still a great risk?"

Reina nodded and said, "Didn't we already realize last time that the extraterrestrials' territory was already in a rather dangerous area? They won't easily give up any small islands again! If we cooperate to attack this time, they might send out all their top experts. If we're unprepared, we might suffer a great loss!"

"You mean... the Annihilator?" Marco's expression changed as he asked, "Shouldn't an existence of that level be guarding the central island? It shouldn't be necessary for them to be dispatched so easily, right?"

"That's why I said the risk is huge! The extraterrestrials dare not lose any more territory. Under these circumstances, if we join forces with the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates, how do you think the extraterrestrials will respond?"

“If it were me…” Marco thought for a moment and said, “I would abandon this island and concentrate our forces to fight Big Mom and Kaido’s side. After defeating them, we would then concentrate our forces to deal with us!”

“That’s right, and once they attack, it won’t be just one island! To prevent us from attacking together again next time, they’ll have to take at least two of our islands! Do you think Big Mom and Kaido will come to our aid then?” Reina nodded and replied.

“I understand! So you mean we should wait and see for now?” Marco asked.

“That’s right. Since they know we acquired a lot of luck power last time, they must also know that we need to recuperate. At least until Big Brother’s side has digested the luck power, we won’t make any moves!” Reina nodded and replied, “Their invitation this time is more of a test for us, and also a chance to try our luck. If we agree, their actions will be much easier!”

"I understand, I'll reassure everyone!" Marco realized that he had been too naive before.

“If any captains or crew leaders get bored, let them go to the Chaotic Lands together. When Big Mom and Kaido make their move, they can launch an attack from there. We don’t need to take over their territory, but collecting some luck power shouldn’t be a problem! Also, it seems the Navy is about to make a move. I’ve already discovered Sengoku and Garp’s whereabouts, and I plan to keep an eye on things here for the next few days!” Reina said after thinking for a moment.

Chapter 904 Empress

"Oh?" Marco raised an eyebrow and said, "I see~ Then I guess quite a few captains will go!"

“When the time comes, have Ichi and the others cooperate. They’ve been stationed in the Chaotic Lands for a long time. With their help, at least there won’t be too many losses!” Reina nodded and said.

“Okay, be careful over there. Do you need someone to assist you?” Marco replied.

“Not for now, but I’ll let you know if I need to!” Reina shook his head and said.

"Okay!" Marco said, and then hung up the Den Den Mushi.

After contacting Marco, Reina left his room and strolled around the streets for a while. Just as he was about to sneak into the naval base to take a look, he suddenly spotted a figure that looked somewhat familiar.

"Huh? What's she doing here?" Reina frowned and quietly followed her.

The person he saw was none other than Boa Hancock, one of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Amazon Lily and the Whitebeard Pirates have a good relationship, but I haven't heard anything about them coming to the North Blue! So Reina plans to follow them and see.

"Hmm? Something's not right!" When Reina cautiously followed, he found that the "Empress" he met seemed to be a little different from what he remembered.

But before Reina could get a good look at her, the "Empress" walked straight into the naval base, leaving him no choice but to follow her.

"That's strange. Why would Hancock be here? And she seems a bit off!" Reina stroked his chin, pondering to himself.

He considered one possibility: that the Navy had somehow gotten hold of Empress Hancock, which was why she had come here to assist them. However, he had just seen Hancock and she did not seem to be under any threat.

Although he didn't understand, Reina had originally planned to investigate the Navy's base anyway, so he found a secluded spot and used his transformation technique to turn himself into a Navy soldier, easily blending in.

Using ninjutsu to steal information and infiltrate is the simplest way. With ninjutsu, Reina can go almost anywhere he wants.

After cautiously wandering around the naval base several times without finding Hancock, Reina had no choice but to head towards the center, where Sengoku, Garp, and the others worked. They needed to discuss plans before launching a military operation against the extraterrestrial visitors, and this was a good opportunity to eavesdrop.

When he found Sengoku's office, he found only Sengoku inside; Garp, Fujitora, and Aokiji were not there.

"They didn't even discuss tactics? Looks like they already had a plan before they came here!" Reina frowned and muttered to himself.

After waiting for a while with Sengoku and confirming that he was alright, Reina began searching for Hancock's whereabouts.

If it were anyone else, Reina wouldn't care this much, but Hancock is different. She's an ally of the Whitebeard Pirates and would support them under any circumstances. So he has to figure out why Hancock is here.

After leaving Sengoku's side, Reina searched the entire naval base, but still couldn't find the figure he had seen before. He was almost discovered by Fujitora, so Reina had no choice but to leave and try to look elsewhere.

But just as Reina was about to leave, he discovered a World Government member in a corner of the base.

"Huh? People from CP? Why are they here? Has the World Government started paying attention to the North Blue? Or... is Sengoku afraid that I'll really lead the extraterrestrial visitors to Mary Geoise?" Reina, who was about to leave, followed without saying a word. He wanted to see why the people from the World Government were in the North Blue.

"Snap~~ Snap~~"

Seeing that the CP member, after entering a separate room, actually cautiously entered a secret room again, Reina felt that things seemed a bit complicated.

"Hey~ I'd like to see what you guys are up to!"

If he continued to follow, the chances of being discovered would be very high, since it was a secret room with limited space. However, he was unwilling to leave now, so after thinking for a moment, Reina decided to continue the chase.

Firstly, this place is already very close to the edge of the naval base, so even if he is discovered, he can escape quickly with his strength.

Secondly, he really wanted to see why the World Government sent people to the North Blue. It was very likely related to his discovery of Hancock, because only the World Government could do such a thing.
