Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

“No problem, but the island we currently occupy hasn’t made contact with any extraterrestrial forces!” Shanks said with a smile.

"I can trade you the small islands on the front lines, in exchange for the few islands that have contact with our navy!" Sengoku said.

“We can also give up one of the front-line islands!” At this moment, Dragon broke his silence and spoke up.

The reason they prioritized capturing the front-line islands was twofold: firstly, to defend against extraterrestrial visitors, and secondly, because contact with them required passing through these islands.

Therefore, as long as they capture the small island at the front line, they will be invincible.

If Shanks and Luffy hadn't appeared, they could have slowly and steadily taken over the islands behind them. Even if, like now, a powerful force had seized the islands first, they could have traded for some of the territory behind them.

Chapter 927 Negotiation

The territories of the Navy and the Revolutionary Army are connected to the strongholds established by Shanks, so Reina is not clear about the specifics of how the three parties negotiated.

On Luffy's side, if he wants to fight the extraterrestrials, he must negotiate with the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, Reina didn't waste any words and directly gave Luffy the small island that was originally the front line of the Big Mom Pirates. As for how many islands they could get from the Navy, that was up to their own abilities.

"Big brother, do we need to bring that up now?" While the other factions were negotiating how to exchange territory, Reina came to Whitebeard's side and asked in a low voice.

"Let's see what they think first. Although the Navy has occupied a lot of territory this time, if the Navy Headquarters doesn't send reinforcements, there's no need to cooperate with them anymore!" Whitebeard replied softly.

“I understand. I’ll test Sengoku later. Also, in the New World, a large number of powerful pirates have come to the North Blue. Nearly half of the territory that originally belonged to Big Mom has been occupied by them. Those places will probably become very chaotic!” Reina sighed and said, “Originally, I wanted to have Luffy exchange his territory with ours, to move to the area closer to the Revolutionary Army. As for the territories closer to the chaotic areas, we could have them, but that brat refused!”

"Gurararara... If he agrees, then he doesn't deserve to become one of the Four Emperors. Don't worry, the children have grown up. Robin now is not at the bottom of the crew, even among the crew. You have to believe in the children!" Whitebeard said with a smile.

“Brother, where have all those heroes of the seas gone? Back then there was Roger, Shiki, Red Earl, Garp, and Zephyr, but now the seas are full of boring guys! Why haven’t any heroes appeared?” Reina said sadly as he looked at Sengoku and the others arguing.

"Gurararara... That's because... you've become stronger! Back then, even a Marine Vice Admiral was a worthy opponent for you, but now... aren't you almost unrivaled on the high seas? So you no longer look down on those weaklings! And in this world, how many can compare to you?" Whitebeard raised an eyebrow and said.

Before Reina could speak, Garp interjected, "You think you're invincible? Putting aside your pirate side, my Navy has a whole bunch of excellent young men. This world will be their battlefield in the future!"

"Your navy's bunch of scoundrels are even worse than our new generation of pirates! You expect them to support the future of the navy?" Reina replied unhappily.

"Hmph, what powerful guys do you pirates have? Although Sakazuki is too stubborn, his suppression of pirates is still very effective!" Garp sneered.

Reina pointed at the bored Luffy in front of him and said, "Putting everything else aside, does your Navy have anyone who can defeat him?"

Garp's face stiffened, and for a moment he really didn't know how to answer.

Firstly, Luffy's current strength is indeed unmatched by any other new generation of Marines. Secondly, Luffy is his grandson, and Luffy's strength is something he is very proud of, so he cannot speak ill of him against his conscience.

"Hmph, Luffy is my grandson. Although he is a pirate now, he has only gone down the wrong path. If it weren't for you and Shanks tempting him back then, he would already be a new generation of admiral in our Navy! And even now, he can't be completely considered to be on your pirate side!" Garp thought for a long time before he managed to come up with these words of opposition.

Reina chuckled and didn't say anything more, but his expression almost provoked Karp to make a move.

Soon, the other factions also finished their negotiations and redivided their territories, ensuring that each faction had a place to contact the extraterrestrial visitors.

"Now that we've settled the issue of territory, let's discuss how to deal with the extraterrestrial visitors!" After a moment, Zhan Guo took out a map of the North Sea, spread it out in front of everyone, and said.

The division of power in Beihai is a minor matter; the real focus is on the extraterrestrial visitors.

After everyone looked over, Sengoku recounted all the information he had about the extraterrestrial visitors.

"If you have any other information about extraterrestrial visitors, please provide it! They are our common enemy. The strength of the Extinction Venerables far exceeds our imagination. If we cannot stop them, our world will be in jeopardy..."

The Warring States period didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning he expressed was very clear.

"Is he that strong? Even Big Mom and Kaido combined are no match for him?" Mihawk looked at Sengoku and asked.

The Red-Haired Pirates only recently arrived in the North Blue, so they have only heard of extraterrestrial visitors and have never actually seen one.

However, both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines are powerful forces, and even they find them troublesome. They have also wiped out the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates, so they dare not underestimate them.

"To say that the Destroyer could kill Big Mom and Kaido together is not necessarily true!" Reina said softly from the side.

He is the only one who has fought against the Venerable One, so his words are the most credible.

“But the visitors from outer space aren’t just Venerable Extinction! Who knows how many experts above level 45 there are? I’ve seen at least two of them appear at the same time, and at least three others have been discovered! It’s been a while since I killed the two of them, and I don’t know if they’ve arrived yet, but as long as one of them joins forces with Venerable Extinction… including my brother and me, no one present will be able to escape!” Reina said softly.

His words stunned everyone, especially Shanks and Mihawk, who had never seen the Venerable One in action and did not know Reina's true strength, so they felt that Reina was exaggerating.

“I know you might not believe it, but old man Garp saw me fight the Destroyer, so the Navy should know!” Reina smiled and said, “As for Shanks… although your strength may have improved in the past few years, you are definitely not stronger than me after absorbing the power of destiny!”

"The power of destiny... can it really boost this much?" Shanks asked, frowning.

"Besides me, my older brother, Garp from the Navy, and Sengoku are also receiving the baptism of the power of destiny here! Sengoku hasn't been absorbing it for long, so I don't know if he's fully digested it yet, but old man Garp has definitely fully digested it. Why don't you try asking him?" Reina deliberately provoked.

In the last battle against the Destroyer, although Reina did not reveal his final trump card, he had basically shown all his strength except for that.

Therefore, it's good to encourage Garp to show his strength at this time, so that he can be prepared.

However, although Garp was somewhat eager to try, Sengoku directly rejected Reina's suggestion. Garp was their Navy's trump card, so how could he expose himself here?

Chapter 928 The Secrets of the World

Although Sengoku rejected Reina's attempt to urge Garp to take action, Shanks and the others were even more convinced that Garp's strength must have increased, otherwise Sengoku wouldn't have shown such a performance.

"Grandpa, are you stronger than before?" Luffy asked curiously from the side.

Although Cao Mao and his crew hadn't been in the North Sea for long, they had killed quite a few powerful extraterrestrial visitors, but unfortunately, nothing had changed. So Luffy was quite curious about this.

"What? Grandpa isn't as strong as before, are you going to beat me up?" Seeing Luffy's eager expression, Garp immediately adopted the attitude of "I'm your dad... no, I should say I'm your grandpa".

Upon hearing this, Luffy shrank back. His childhood experiences were too tragic, and Garp had left him with psychological trauma.

Even Dragon, standing to the side, twitched at the corner of his mouth upon hearing Garp's words, suggesting that he must have received plenty of loving training from Garp when he was young.

With Garp's words, the topic was effectively diverted.

"Actually, we obtained some intelligence before we came to North Sea, which is why we didn't come to North Sea immediately!" Shanks suddenly spoke up when everyone was silent.

"Oh? You've been in the New World all along, haven't you? You've also been able to get information about extraterrestrial visitors?" Sengoku asked curiously.

Shanks and Ben Beckman exchanged a glance, then looked at Luffy and said, "Luffy, you must have learned the secrets of this world on the final island, right?"

Luffy's smile faded, he nodded, and replied, "Yes!"

"Is it related to the secrets of the Wano Country world?" Reina asked, frowning.

He had long known that there must be something related to the secrets of Wano Country on the final island. When Robin's mother was still alive, he had thought about taking Olvia to the final island, but after Olvia passed away, Reina lost interest in the idea.

He never expected that the appearance of the extraterrestrial visitors would be related to the secrets of this world.

“That’s right! This brings us to the origin of the world!” Shanks nodded and replied.

Leaving aside the humans of this world back then, thousands of years ago, the energy on the moon was exhausted, so the moon people came to Earth (the world of One Piece) and brought their advanced technology with them.

Ultimately, the people from the sky island split into two groups in this world. One group, based on their actions on the moon, believed that humanity was the one who had caused the most harm to this world. They thought that as long as they controlled the speed of human technological development, they could extend the lifespan of the world and prevent it from running out of resources like the moon.

Another group of people felt that there was no need to suppress human nature, since everyone is free and should have their own choices.

Later, the group that controlled the technology felt that it would be more appropriate to transform the entire society into a feudal system, so they began to build a kingdom of gods, intending to control the world.

Another group believed that the Red Line separated the seas, hindering human freedom. They sometimes wanted to open up the Red Line and connect the four seas, but unfortunately, after creating the Reverse Mountain, they were destroyed by the Kingdom of God and its twenty native kings.

Later, the so-called Kingdom of Gods was also destroyed by these twenty kingdoms, but this was not their initiative, but rather an order given by the King of the Kingdom of Gods, the supreme ruler Im.

He believed that the divine kingdom from the moon was also an obstacle to his plans, since they knew too much, so he decided to eliminate them as well.

Among them, the ancestors of the Kingdom of Alabasta felt that Lord Im's actions were inappropriate, so they gave up living in Mary Geoise and returned to their hometown of Alabasta.

This is also the origin of the Celestial Dragons, and the one who rules over the Celestial Dragons is the Moon People who came to Earth back then—Imu!

As for the leader of the great kingdom they defeated, Nika, the sun god from the moon, symbolizing freedom, exuberance, and passion!

Luffy already knew this information, and now Shanks knows it too, but they haven't shared it because they know more and they know now is not the time to reveal these secrets.

“I suspect that the headquarters of these extraterrestrial visitors is… on the moon!” Shanks wasn’t one to mince words, so he stated his guess directly.

"The moon?" Everyone was taken aback, especially Reina, who was already considering this possibility.

“That’s right, their most notable characteristic in invading our world is their immortality!” Shanks nodded and said, “According to Mr. Reiner’s speculation, their true forms didn’t come to our world, but rather descended through their souls. So no matter how we kill them, they will reappear after a while!”

"Their greatest asset is their immortality. Think about how many of their powerful warriors we've already killed. But apart from absorbing some of their luck and fortune, we haven't done them any harm at all. And our own warriors, once they're dead, they're truly dead! If we can't break through this ability of the enemy, we'll be the ones who are ultimately defeated!"

They all knew what Shanks was saying, but they had no idea where he was. They could only gradually compress his living space so that the extraterrestrial visitors could not absorb the world's fortune, thus preventing him from descending.

As for Shanks' idea of ​​finding the aliens' lair, they simply have no way of doing that.

For this kind of interplanetary travel, let alone Sengoku and his group, even Reina is currently unable to do it.

In the world of One Piece, Enel used his abilities to go to the moon, and he didn't die there due to lack of oxygen, so they shouldn't have to worry about that issue if they go to the moon.

However, going to the moon is not that simple.

Moreover, Reiner believed that those extraterrestrial visitors were not lunar people.

“You should know that those extraterrestrial visitors were not lunar people!” Reina looked at Shanks and said in a deep voice.

Shanks shook his head and said, "The moon's resources were exhausted back then, but how many years have passed since then? Nobody knows what the moon looks like now! And even if they weren't moon people, but came from another planet, the moon would be the first target! If I were one of those extraterrestrial visitors, I would definitely use the moon as a springboard. After all, it's closer to launch an attack on us from there, and they could save more energy!"

Reina was taken aback. He had never thought of Shanks's statement before, but now that he thought about it, Shanks's words seemed to make a lot of sense.

"So you want to attack the moon? But we have no way to get to the moon!" Reina said after thinking for a moment.

Chapter 929 Speculation

Even Shanks couldn't answer the question Reyner posed.

Going to the moon isn't as simple as going to some small island and having a boat. Besides, they don't even know if extraterrestrial visitors actually landed on the moon.

"The moon...where is that?" Luffy, who had been sitting to the side listening to Reina and Shanks' conversation, suddenly asked.

Reina smiled and explained it to Luffy, who then suddenly realized and said, "Isn't that where Enel is going?"

Nami and Robin were taken aback, then looked at Luffy at the same time. Reina also remembered that Enel seemed to have really arrived at the music. If the extraterrestrial visitor's true form was on the moon at this time, he must have already fought Enel.

"Enel? Who is that?" Sengoku and the others looked at Luffy in surprise and asked.

So Luffy recounted what they had seen and heard on Skypiea.

“Sky Island?” Shanks thought for a moment and said, “The captain did indeed arrive at Sky Island with us back then, and according to the records on the final island, those Sky People should also be a branch of the Moon People!”

"So... they have a way to get to the moon?" Sengoku asked, squinting.

Although it's still uncertain whether the extraterrestrial visitor's main body is on the moon, if we have a way to go to the moon now, wouldn't it be enough to just go and confirm? If the enemy's main body really is there, then the North Sea wouldn't be so important.

Dragon and the Navy shared the same idea. Only Reina knew that Enel was able to go to the moon by relying on electricity, just as he had to rely on electricity to move when he found the small sky island.

However, after some modifications by the doctor, their little sky island no longer needs electricity, but going to the moon... firstly, it might take a very long time, since the little sky island moves very slowly, and secondly, it would require a lot of energy.
