Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

“Yes! I’ll have Lakshmi contact them!” Whitebeard nodded in reply.

“I reckon you’ll have to handle this personally, brother. Otherwise, given those two’s personalities, they’ll probably have a hard time trusting us!” Reina said with a smile.

"Well, I'll see how it goes! You'd better come back soon, I reckon you've already been put on the list by the extraterrestrial visitors!" the white-bearded man said softly.

“Okay, I’ll go back now!” Reina replied.

Chapter 918 Reina's Advice

When Reina returned to his front-line base, he received some news that surprised him.

"Has the Navy gone mad? They're letting this kind of news get out of the public eye?" Reina asked incredulously.

"They're not crazy. In fact, if you think about it carefully, this kind of news won't have much impact on them, but it'll be a problem for us pirates! We finally managed to consolidate our forces in the North Blue, but because of this news, the North Blue is going to become a chaotic place again!" Laco said, pursing his lips.

The news that the Navy would gain more luck power by killing powerful extraterrestrial visitors, and that luck power could be accumulated, was directly conveyed to the world through the World News.

Reina knew without even thinking that once the pirates of the Grand Line found out, they would all flock to the North Blue.

Even their Whitebeard Pirates' territory will likely descend into chaos by then.

Don't think that just because the Whitebeard Pirates are the world's number one pirate crew, those pirates will be afraid.

They certainly wouldn't dare to attack Whitebeard's main crew, but even in Whitebeard's territory, they wouldn't be afraid to cause trouble without Whitebeard's main crew present. At worst, they could just run away before Whitebeard's crew arrived.

Moreover, their main enemy is extraterrestrial visitors, and under normal circumstances, they don't have extra time to deal with these matters.

Unlike in the New World, where they have ample time and energy to deal with anyone who offends their authority, this is not the case in the North Sea.

Because they simply don't have the extra time or manpower to handle these things.

"It seems the Navy did this after careful consideration!" Reina stroked his chin and said, "By the way, is there any news from Kaido and Big Mom?"

Reina is currently most concerned about Kaido and Big Mom's actions. Whether they succeed or fail, it will have a significant impact on them.

"I don't know, there's no news from over there yet, but news of the Navy ambushing the extraterrestrials has come out. I don't think that's good news for them! So they'll definitely take action. Hopefully, the extraterrestrials will be strong enough to prevent Kaido and Big Mom from growing too fast!" Rakuyo shrugged and said.

“I’m worried they’ll fail! But if they do fail, it shouldn’t be enough to let the extraterrestrials gain too much of an advantage!” Reina said with a light laugh.

"Oh? You don't think they have a good chance?" Laqué asked in surprise.

“Of course! The strength of the Annihilation Venerable… is a bit beyond my expectations! If they are not prepared to face the Annihilation Venerable, they will probably suffer! My brother should have reminded them, right?” Reina said with a light laugh.

“Yes, Daddy personally spoke with Kaido and Big Mom, warning them to be careful! But judging from their tone, they didn’t seem to take it to heart, and I feel that Big Mom is really different from before!” Laco nodded and replied.

"Oh? It seems they're really going to suffer a big loss this time!" Reina said with a strange laugh.

Despite their apparent alliance, Kaido and Big Mom are actually closer among the Four Emperors' pirate crews. The Whitebeard Pirates, on the other hand, are far ahead of the rest, standing at the pinnacle of all pirates. Coupled with their different styles, they don't get along very well.

The two chatted about the latest information as they walked toward the plaza in the center of the island.

Ever since he created a banquet plaza on Crescent Moon Island, Whitebeard has liked to create a banquet plaza wherever he goes, and then whenever anyone is free, they will drink and hold banquets with his father in the banquet plaza.

So after Reina returned, he first exchanged information with Laco, who had come to pick him up, and then headed straight here.

"You're back? How did it go this time?" Whitebeard asked, still holding his bottle of liquor and looking hungover, as he saw Reina approaching.

“Brother’s health is better now, but drinking like this every day can’t go on!” Reina said with some concern.

"Gurararara... I'd die if I didn't drink!" Whitebeard said with a loud laugh.

“We fought against the Destroyer Venerable this time, you all come and listen!” Reina casually found a seat and said to the captains around him, “If you encounter him in battle, don’t hesitate, run away immediately!”

"First mate, is he really that amazing?" Ace asked incredulously.

“Don’t doubt it, Ace! You’re a Logia-type Devil Fruit user. If the opponent doesn’t have information about you, you might be able to dodge their first attack. But if they do have information about you, you might not even be able to withstand a single blow!” Reina nodded and replied seriously.

If he activated his Sharingan and Hyōrinmaru's Bankai mode, and then ambushed Ace, he believed Ace wouldn't be able to withstand his attack, let alone the even more powerful Destroyer.

The captains were somewhat surprised to hear Reiner's words. Whitebeard had spoken with Reiner on the phone before, so he already knew, but the captains were unaware of it.

So Reina didn't hide anything and told the captains everything that had happened.

"Hiss~" After hearing Reina's account, the captains gasped.

Ace, in particular, looked incredulous and said, "Even with the vice-captain activating the Sharingan and Hyōrinmaru's Bankai, he's still no match for the opponent?"

Reina nodded and said, "Although I didn't activate Hyōrinmaru's complete form, I did my best at the time!"

If he were to fully unleash the power of Hyōrinmaru, it would be tantamount to risking his life, because only by releasing the complete Hyōrinmaru and then fusing it with Reina would he become the complete Reina. In that state, he wouldn't be able to sustain it for long, so he wouldn't activate that state unless he was risking his life.

After hearing Reina's explanation, the captains had their own plans. Captains like Diamond Jozu, who specialized in defense, were fine; even Reina in that state couldn't kill him instantly. But battles aren't about instant kills. If Jozu were to face Reina in that state alone, he would have no choice but to be defeated.

The other captains are in the same boat; they might not be instantly killed, but they definitely won't escape.

Therefore, if they encounter the Venerable One, they will be in great danger.

“Then from now on, we’ll need at least three people to travel together!” Lakyo said, stroking his chin.

“Even three of us might not be enough!” Vista shook his head and said, “As the strongest of the extraterrestrial visitors, the enemy is unlikely to act alone. So as long as someone can hold us off, someone will definitely have to sacrifice themselves to get rid of their entanglement!”

Chapter 919 Big Event

The news that Reina brought back made the captains fall silent for a while, but they quickly understood. After all, the other party was the leader of the extraterrestrial visitors, and he certainly wouldn't be targeting small fry like them. So, the ones who needed to be careful were Reina; they were dealing with those level 30-40 powerhouses.

As for the Venerable One, let Reina and his father deal with that!

Besides, the only place they could encounter extraterrestrial visitors is on the battlefield, and as captains, they would never appear alone on the battlefield, so there's no need to worry here.

After figuring it out, the team leaders dispersed; drinking was more important now.

"What are your thoughts on the Destroyer?" Whitebeard asked Reina softly after the captains had left.

Reina shrugged and said, "There's not much I can do. I can't beat them for now, but I can't be beaten forever! I feel like I can improve one more time!"

"Hmm? To obtain the power of destiny?" Whitebeard asked curiously.

Having reached their level of strength, it's practically impossible for them to improve through training alone. So when Reyna said that, Whitebeard's first thought was naturally to rely on the power of luck.

However, Reina shook his head and said, "No, let's give the power of destiny to you and the captains! I can train in the Tower of Trials, and I feel that I can still improve!"

Reina didn't hide the matter of the Tower of Trials from Whitebeard and the captains. It wasn't something that couldn't be talked about. In any case, only he could enter the Tower of Trials, and no one else could take it away.

"That Trial Tower of yours is a bit dangerous. If you can avoid going there, you should!" Whitebeard said softly to Reina.

Although he didn't know exactly what was inside the Tower of Trials, given Reina's strength, the fact that he always came out severely injured after going in showed that it was definitely not safe inside.

“It’s alright, big brother!” Reina smiled and said, “I can come out from inside anytime. Besides, without experiencing life-or-death battles, there’s no value in improving us!”

Whitebeard nodded upon hearing this, saying nothing more, only telling Reina to keep a good balance and not go too far.

However, before Reina could even enter the Tower of Trials to earn points, another huge piece of news immediately swept across the world.

"The Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates have fallen into a trap? Kaido and Big Mom's fates are unknown? Nearly a third of the Beasts Pirates' and Big Mom Pirates' territory has been seized by extraterrestrials?"

Reina stared at the intelligence report in his hand, his mouth agape in astonishment.

“That’s right! The Navy has already sent word that we need to immediately organize troops to go and reinforce them. If this continues, the territory of the Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates will be completely taken over by the extraterrestrials!” Laco replied with a stern face.

“This is impossible!” Reina shook his head and said, “Even if the Destroyer himself were to take action, he couldn’t possibly have defeated the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates like this!”

Lakyo pursed his lips and said, "There's no detailed information yet, but Dad has already started gathering people. Let's go over there!"

Reina took a deep breath, nodded, and then walked with Rakuyo toward the banquet plaza, where most of the Whitebeard Pirates' captains and commanders had already gathered.

"You've all heard the news, haven't you? The Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates... have been defeated!" Whitebeard said after everyone had arrived.

"Dad, is this news true? With Big Mom and Kaido's strength, they shouldn't have been defeated like this, right? Especially since they joined forces!" Marco asked with a puzzled look.

"The specific situation is still unclear. The main combat personnel of the Big Mom Pirates are either seriously injured or missing. Only some stationed personnel who did not participate in the battle and some of their subordinate pirate crews remain. The Beast Pirates are in an even worse situation. Including Kaido, the Three Disasters and other officers, as well as their Devil Fruit user army, are all missing! It can be said that both pirate crews... are finished!" Whitebeard said in a deep voice.

"The losses are so heavy? Even if Big Mom and Kaido show up now, their forces will be greatly reduced! In this state, they are no longer worthy of being called a Yonko pirate crew, are they?" Vista said with a serious expression.

As the world's number one pirate crew and the leader of the Four Emperors, many members of the Whitebeard Pirates valued the honor of being a Four Emperors pirate crew very much.

With such a huge loss, the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates may very well be forced to be removed from the list.

However, Whitebeard clearly didn't care about these things and said, "These things aren't decided by us. What's more important now is the territory that the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates have vacated after their defeat! You should also know that the strength of extraterrestrial visitors is related to the amount of territory they occupy. If they really manage to completely occupy the territory of the Big Mom and Beast Pirates, it will be very disadvantageous for us!"

Everyone nodded in agreement; this was indeed something they didn't want to see.

"Ace, have you contacted Sabo? What's the Revolutionary Army's opinion on this?" Reina asked Ace.

"No, I haven't had a chance to contact Sabo yet!" Ace shook his head and replied.

“Hmm! Let’s contact the Revolutionary Army. They need more territory than we do. This is a good opportunity for them to expand! It’s better to give it to our allies than to these extraterrestrials!” Reina said with a light laugh.

Whitebeard nodded and said, "That's right. Their territory has some contact with Kaido's Beasts Pirates. If they have extra troops, they can indeed expand in that direction!"

The Revolutionary Army's territory was originally given to them by the Whitebeard Pirates, so compared to the Navy, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Beast Pirates, despite being equally powerful forces, they possess the smallest territory.

This might be an opportunity to expand our territory.

After all, everyone in the North Blue is an ally, and they can't openly attack their allies under normal circumstances. Now that the Beast Pirates' territory has been taken away by extraterrestrials, it's fine for them to take it back from the extraterrestrials.

"What about us, Father? Are we going to attack the Big Mom Pirates?" Several of the more warlike captains looked at Whitebeard expectantly and asked.

Originally, they had the most territory of all the forces, but after giving a large portion to the Revolutionary Army, their territory became somewhat smaller than that of the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.

After all, when they joined forces last time, they seized a lot of resources and territory from the navy.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, they believed that the Navy would not hold back. Without Big Mom and Kaido in charge, and without the main force to defend them, the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates were now easy prey. It was just a matter of who could act faster and seize more benefits.

Chapter 920 The Big Mom Pirates' Predicament

After figuring things out, the Whitebeard Pirates didn't waste any time and immediately decided that Reina would lead a group of captains to head towards the Big Mom Pirates' territory, seize more land, and stop the extraterrestrial visitors from expanding further.

Meanwhile, Ace contacted the Revolutionary Army and accompanied them in launching an attack on the Beast Pirates.

Like the Whitebeard Pirates, the Navy has also been busy. They have lost a lot of territory to Big Mom and Kaido. And now they can use the excuse of stopping extraterrestrial visitors. If they don't take action now, when will they?

Besides major forces like the Whitebeard Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, and the Navy, countless pirates attracted by the Navy's news flocked to the territory of the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates, as they were worried about having nowhere to stay.

Meanwhile, Cao Mao and his group, who were wandering around Beihai, also received the same news.

"Luffy... I want to go to Big Mom's place!" Sanji said to Luffy from the deck of the Sunny, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

"Huh?" Zoro and the others looked at Sanji in confusion, not understanding why Sanji wanted to go to the Big Mom Pirates.

Nami, on the other hand, seemed thoughtful, as if she knew something about Sanji's thoughts.

"Over there at Big Mom?" Luffy looked at Sanji with curiosity and asked, "What are you going there for?"
