Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"He wants to use me to kill the other party?" Aokiji asked, frowning.

"No, if that so-called Destroyer is really as terrifying as Reina says, then fighting him head-on will inevitably result in heavy losses. That brat doesn't want the Whitebeard Pirates to face such risks, so he did this on purpose! Do you believe that if our operation fails to lure out the Destroyer, Reina will definitely take action to make him appear?" Garp said with a light laugh.

He's not stupid; he just pretended to be bad at scheming in the hotel earlier.

Chapter 907 The Warring States Plan

"So, in other words, all the major powers in the North Sea now know that killing powerful extraterrestrial visitors can yield a large amount of luck power?" After listening to Garp's report, Sengoku pondered for a moment and asked.

“That’s basically it!” Garp nodded and said, “Big Mom and Kaido are also planning to take action this time. What do you think? Also, Reina plans to follow us. I guess he hopes to use us to lure out that extraterrestrial visitor, the Destroyer!”

"Hehe... In that case... why not just spread this news directly!" Sengoku said, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Spread it out? Spread it to whom?" Garp and the others didn't react for a moment and looked at Sengoku with confusion.

“Of course…the whole world!” Sengoku said with a light laugh.

"Huh?" Garp and the others looked at Sengoku in surprise. Such important news, just like that? Won't it cause a world-shaking event?

However, after careful consideration, they suddenly realized that doing so did not seem to have much impact on their navy; the biggest impact would be on the pirates.

Because compared to the navy, the forces of pirates are far more complex.

The more powerful the extraterrestrial beings are killed, the more luck power they gain. Once this news spreads, the pirates will be the first to go wild. Those guys are no pushovers; they only care about themselves and are not as organized and disciplined as the Navy.

Perhaps for this reason, there are some individual strong individuals among pirates, but their overall strength improvement is definitely not comparable to that of the Navy.

So as long as they announce this news, it will definitely cause a stir among the pirates.

"Should we contact the World News?" After figuring it out, Aokiji looked at Sengoku and asked, "Should we postpone our operation?"

"No! Our action plan remains unchanged, and the news will only be spread after we return, otherwise... why should they believe us?" Sengoku said with a cunning smile on his face.

"So how do we deal with Reina?" Fujitora suddenly interjected. "His goal is very clear: to destroy the Venerable One. If our actions fail to attract his attention, Reina might take action! Our casualties will definitely increase then!"

"Hehe... Ignore that guy. I know exactly what he's up to. The extraterrestrials' territory has shrunk significantly, so they won't allow us to take the island. The best way to lure out the enemy's powerful figures is to take a small island! As long as we don't push them to that point, their level of powerhouses won't easily come out!"

"Reina simply wants to take advantage of the gap in our attack to create the illusion of seizing the island, so that the enemy's strongmen will be mobilized! So once you understand this, Reina alone... cannot do it!" Sengoku explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Garp and the other two nodded to indicate that they understood.

"What do you think of the people the world sent this time?" After discussing Reina's matter, Sengoku turned to Aokiji and asked.

They wanted to take action, but with their limited forces in the North Sea, it would be difficult for them to accomplish anything. That's why Sengoku sought help from the world. Accompanying Aokiji this time were reinforcements from the world: a CP0 member leading a CP9 squad, plus the assistance of a Seraphim.

"The new generation of Seraphim developed by Dr. Vegapunk this time is extremely powerful, at least on par with the Seven Warlords of the Sea! Moreover, they are much more obedient to orders than the Seven Warlords!" Aokiji thought for a moment and then said, "However, only one Seraphim came this time, so they are not of much help to us!"

"So do you think our operation will succeed?" Sengoku asked after a moment's thought.

"The Whitebeard Pirates used the Straw Hat Pirates to lure the extraterrestrial powerhouses, and then used their forces to block the enemy's reinforcements. We don't need bait; we can launch a direct attack on the extraterrestrials at the front lines. At that time, Mr. Garp will lead the World People and the Seraphim to block the enemy's reinforcements. As long as we act quickly, killing one of their level 40 powerhouses shouldn't be a problem!" Fujitora said after thinking for a moment.

In fact, he is the one in the Navy who knows the extraterrestrial visitors the most. Since he arrived in the North Blue, he has been fighting against the extraterrestrial visitors. Even before Sengoku and Garp came to the North Blue, he was the one who was in charge of the North Blue. So he knows the strength of the extraterrestrial visitors better than anyone else!

"Roughly what level of enemy is stationed on the island on our front lines right now?" Sengoku asked Fujitora.

"One level 40 expert, and ten level 30 to 40 experts! This is their standard garrison lineup, but based on my observation, there should be even more experts inside that mysterious tent, mainly to protect it from being taken by us. There should be experts above level 40 stationed inside, but as for the number of experts... I'm not sure! Because their tent can block my Observation Haki." Fujitora said after thinking for a moment.

"So, the enemy we're facing is one level 40 expert plus ten level 30 or higher powerhouses?" Sengoku said, stroking his chin.

“No, their defensive formation will adjust according to our combat strength during the attack. If we show up directly, they will call for reinforcements immediately. In terms of the number of strong soldiers, they will always maintain a higher level than us. This is the main reason why we have not been able to achieve any results in the front-line battles.” Fujitora shook his head and replied.

"So, the enemy can adjust their forces at any time based on our strength?" Sengoku said, frowning.

"That's right. The reason the Whitebeard Pirates were able to succeed was because they used Cao Mao's crew to lure all the strong members of the extraterrestrial visitors, except for those guarding the tents, to the coastline. They themselves hid on the seabed using the bubble membrane. Once the extraterrestrial visitors arrived at the coastline, they would then launch an attack. The Whitebeard Pirates would immediately cut off the battlefield, while Jun would immediately go to the enemy's tents to intercept them!"

"By using this method to buy time, we were able to successfully eliminate the group of enemies chasing Cao Mao and his gang! Even with this battle plan, the extraterrestrials managed to escape with most of their ordinary soldiers and a small number of their powerful members! If we hadn't launched a direct attack, it would have been almost impossible to eliminate their powerful members by the time their reinforcements arrived! Because the number of powerful members they deployed would always be greater than ours!"

Fujitora nodded and replied.

"Isn't there a way to hide it from them? Didn't CP0 and Seraphim say they could sneak in?" Sengoku asked in surprise.

“They say that, but I don’t think it’s very likely!” Fujitora sighed. “Our plan requires them to infiltrate and cut off enemy reinforcements, but if their infiltration fails, our plan will have failed!”

Chapter 908 The Navy's Little Intentions

"Of course I can't place all my hopes on them!" Zhan Guo chuckled and said, "Although I don't know how those extraterrestrial visitors discern our strength, I do know that they must see us to ascertain our power!"

"Huh?" Fujitora looked at Sengoku in surprise; he had never heard of such a thing before.

"No doubt about it, I've already tested this, and they shouldn't know this news!" Sengoku said softly.

Everyone, including Reina, knew that the extraterrestrial visitors possessed a method to detect their strength, similar to Observation Haki. As long as they appeared nearby, they would be sensed by the extraterrestrial visitors.

However, what no one knew was that during the Warring States period, they had secretly tested the possibility that if a space traveler did not appear in their field of vision, they would not be discovered.

This so-called vision is not meant to be seen by extraterrestrial visitors.

The Warring States period tested it out. Even if you are in the forest, no matter how well you hide, you will be easily discovered by the other side. As long as you are within their line of sight, as long as they appear, they will be "seen" by the extraterrestrial visitors. No amount of disguise will work.

Conversely, as long as they are not in their field of vision, they will not be discovered.

This is why the Warring States period specifically formulated this battle plan.

"Is it really possible?" Garp still felt a bit unreliable. Their Observation Haki could easily find creatures with vital signs. With the methods of extraterrestrial visitors, they should be able to do this easily as well.

"Hehe... What do you think I've been doing all this time by having them keep attacking? Don't worry, I'm completely certain!" Sengoku said confidently.

In fact, the Warring States period's plan was quite simple. First, they would advance with a large army, forcing the enemy to retreat continuously. Then, they would secretly land on the island. Once they had all landed, they would have the soldiers at the front retreat. Those extraterrestrial visitors would certainly not agree to this, so they would chase after them and kill them.

The rest is simple. Their sudden appearance will surely catch the extraterrestrial visitors off guard, and we can use this time difference to eliminate those powerful extraterrestrial visitors. As for the World Government, it would be best if they could stop the enemy. Even if they can't, with the strength of Sengoku and the others, they can at least take down an extraterrestrial visitor at level 40 before the enemy's reinforcements arrive, if not kill them instantly.

Yes, they are not greedy; their target is only an extraterrestrial visitor of level 40 or above. Once they achieve this, they will retreat immediately.

Fujitora nodded, indicating that he understood. This time, it would be just the two of them and Sengoku working together, while Garp would be responsible for stopping the other powerful extraterrestrial visitors.

As for the World Government, Sengoku had no intention of relying on them. If they successfully blocked the enemy's reinforcements, he wouldn't mind taking down some more extraterrestrials in their thirties. If the World Government failed to stop the extraterrestrial reinforcements, he would order a retreat immediately.

The navy has been launching attacks on the extraterrestrial visitors these days, actually to test whether their strong offensive could force the visitors to retreat, and whether their landing on the island would be discovered after the visitors retreat.

After several trials, he was very satisfied with the results, because everything went exactly as he had planned.

As for Reina's appearance and the news about Bigom and others, they were just side notes and had no impact on his plans.

As long as Reina doesn't act recklessly before he realizes what's happening, their plan has a high chance of success.

The next day, before setting off, Capu specifically sought out Reina and took him with him to the battlefield.

"So, you guys aren't just planning to rush straight over there, are you?" Reina asked Karp, turning his head to the side as he lay on a deck chair.

"Hahaha... What? Is that not allowed? That's exactly what we planned!" Garp replied with a loud laugh.

Reina's face darkened, and he said, "If you want to go to your deaths, don't take me with you!"

"Pfft, hahaha... You can still go back now. I can arrange for someone to send you back!" Garp said with a smirk.

"Take me back now?" Reina stroked his chin, thought for a moment, nodded, and replied, "Sure! Then take me back now!"

Kap was taken aback; he didn't understand why Reina wanted to leave at this time.

“Lord Reina, you can’t leave now. You’d better come with us!” Before Garp could react, Aokiji, who was also lying on a recliner and sleeping with an eye mask on, spoke up.

"Huh?" At this moment, Garp also reacted and said to Reina, "You brat, what are you trying to do by going back now? Just obediently follow behind me! Maybe you can even earn some luck power if you encounter a lone enemy!"

“I think I’d better give up! You won’t get anything by just rushing over like this!” Reina shrugged and replied, “By the way… you’re not planning to use me for something, are you? Let’s make this clear beforehand! I won’t be lifting a finger. I’ll just stay behind you. In fact, if you want, I can stay on the ship!”

He knew the navy must have its own plans, but the fact that they weren't saying anything to him made Reina immediately wary.

Garp and Aokiji exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, our operation didn't include you in it. Discovering you was also unintentional. Who has the ability to plan all this in advance?" Garp said with a light laugh. "So... as long as you don't disrupt our plans, that's fine!"

“Anyway, you’re going to take action soon. For the sake of your plan, shouldn’t you tell me something now?” Reina said after thinking for a moment.

"Don't worry, just stay on the ship! If that so-called Destroyer really appears, I think with your abilities, you should be able to spot him immediately. At that time, we won't stop you from doing whatever you want, but you can't leave the ship before the enemy appears!" Garp said solemnly, his smile fading.

"So, you guys really have a plan? Extraterrestrial visitors aren't so easy to deal with. Don't end up losing more than you gain!" Reina said, lying back on the deck chair. "Besides, Big Mom and Kaido should be making their move soon. Why don't you find out? If they choose to act at the same time, it might be helpful!"

"Hehe... brat, don't worry about it. We can handle our own affairs!" Garp chuckled and replied.

"Alright... let's wait and see!" Reina said without saying anything more.

Chapter 909 The Tough Guy Garp

"Hehe... Weren't you saying you'd just charge straight in? Why are you diving down to the seabed now? By the way, do you have a fishman force? You know, extraterrestrial visitors do have underwater forces. They suffered a great loss last time, so they might set up guards near the island this time!" Reina couldn't help but say as he watched nearly a third of the navy's warships begin to dive down using foam as they approached the small island.

Upon seeing Reina's appearance, Karp burst into laughter and said, "Take a good look around. Although we don't have the help of the fish-men, we're not entirely helpless when it comes to the seabed!"

Reina then looked around carefully and discovered that the seabed in this area was actually full of underwater watchers. These were tamable species that would monitor everything in the surrounding sea according to their master's orders, somewhat similar to the sea slugs that the Big Mom Pirates scattered near the Whole Cake Island.

Therefore, the navy had already cleared the surrounding waters and released a large number of underwater surveillance vessels during its probing attack a few days earlier.

Seeing these things, Reina was not surprised at all. Thanks to the help of Fishman Island and the joint efforts of Naga and Shirahoshi, most of the sea area controlled by the Whitebeard Pirates already had underwater surveillance.

Wherever a problem arises, the merfolk will rush there immediately.

After a while, the warship where Reina was located stopped, and Garp, Aokiji and others began to prepare for attack.

"So, what are you planning to use as bait?" Seeing that the Navy seemed to be following their plan, Reina couldn't help but ask.

"A bait? We didn't plan to use a bait!" Sengoku walked over unnoticed and said with a smile.

"No bait?" Reina was taken aback, then frowned and said, "Without bait, the arrival of the extraterrestrial reinforcements will coincide with your appearance. What's the point of your ambush here? Or are you planning to let the ground forces above collapse so you can break out? But even so, you don't have much time. It's not worth the price to kill one or two level 30 extraterrestrials!"

"Heh heh! Do you know how the extraterrestrials discovered us?" Garp raised an eyebrow and asked.

“This…” Although Reina had some guesses, he was not certain. However, he was certain that the other party definitely had an ability similar to Observation Haki, so sneak attacks would be completely useless against them!

"You'll find out soon enough!" Sengoku stopped Garp from explaining further to Reina.

Although Reina would soon discover the secret while they were in action, he still didn't want to give the information away for nothing.

Soon after receiving the news, Sengoku left with Aokiji and Fujitora, along with Garp and Reyna.

Because Karp said that Reina could act with him, and whether or not he would intervene was up to him.

Reina was also eager to see if the Navy's operation would succeed, so he quietly followed Garp to the island.

"Strange... the extraterrestrial visitors really didn't notice us!" After landing on the island, Reina followed Garp and slowly advanced along the coastline, but his Observation Haki told him that there was no movement from the extraterrestrial visitors.

"How did you manage to do that?" Reina asked curiously.

"If you want to know this, you first need to know how extraterrestrial visitors always discover us!" Garp said with a light laugh. "If you can help us in this operation, then I can tell you this information!"
