Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Reina...you underestimate me! I have dedicated my entire life to the Navy, to the justice in my heart! Our Navy may still have some shortcomings, but that's precisely why we need to work hard to make our Navy stronger! To make the justice we uphold even purer! Garp, Sengoku! You step back, I...am the Navy Admiral, Black Arm Zephyr!"

Seemingly spurred on by Reina, Zefa's aura surged instantly, exuding heroic spirit, as if he had returned to that spirited era.

Faced with the battle-ready Zephyr, Reina looked bitter. He had made a mistake and should have waited. Although Zephyr was somewhat dissatisfied with the Navy, he hadn't given up yet.

Chapter 76 Reinforcements Arrive

"Since that's the case... then come on, Zephyr! Let me see your justice!" Reina took a deep breath, knowing that there was no point in saying anything now; the rest was up to the fight!

Sengoku and Garp slowly retreated. Since Zephyr had said they didn't need to interfere, they wouldn't intervene until Zephyr and Reina had decided who would win.

However, the two men, positioned on either side, blocked Reina's escape route, preventing him from fleeing the bay.

The surrounding navy began to slowly retreat, making room for the two to fight.

"Someone, go check the surrounding area. Don't let word of what happened today get out!" Ah He, carrying the box, frowned and ordered the soldiers beside him.

She thought she had just seen a camera flash, and although she couldn't be sure, it wouldn't hurt to have someone check.

Moreover, she felt a vague unease. Reina was the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, but so far, he was the only one who had appeared. The great pirate Whitebeard had not appeared, nor had any of the strong members of their ship. Something was not right.

In the middle of the battlefield, Reina and Zephyr stood facing each other, both exuding an imposing aura.

“Reina, I owe you a favor this time. I’ve never dared to face this matter before, but you… gave me the courage to confront the pain in my heart. So… I’ve decided to personally send you to Impel Down! Go to the underwater prison and reflect on your actions!” Zephyr said with a loud laugh.

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Reina's reply, he launched a surprise attack and charged directly at Reina.

"You bastard... Is this how you repay me?" Reina smiled as he slashed at the other's arm with Hyōrinmaru.

"Kid...enjoy this! That's not how you use power!" Zephyr blocked Reina's Hyōrinmaru with his right hand and punched Reina in the chest with his left.

Reina sidestepped the attack, then swung the Hyōrinmaru in his hand towards Zephyr's neck.

"when!"

Hyōrinmaru was blocked by Zephyr again. The two fought with lightning speed, and Reina had no time to unleash a powerful attack. He could only release some energy when it was almost full to clash with Zephyr.

Zephyr had already figured out Reina's abilities, so he didn't give him a chance to breathe. His movements weren't fast, but every strike made Reina feel like he couldn't dodge it, and he could only absorb the energy of the impact when he clashed head-on with his opponent.

"What? Kid! You're already done? You're still too green!" Seeing Reina starting to pant heavily, Zefa's eyes lit up, and he increased the intensity of his attack again, forcing Reina to continuously absorb and release the energy generated by the impact.

"Damn it! Freeze a Thousand Miles!" Kicking away Zefa's fist, Reina spun the Hyōrinmaru in his hand, unleashing a slash carrying icy energy straight towards his opponent.

"Oh? You even have a new ability, that's impressive!" Zefa punched away the slash and closed in on Reina again.

"How could he be so strong?" The pressure Zephyr put on Reina was no less than when Whitebeard sparred with Reina when he was serious.

"There's something even stronger! Shattering Powerful Right Arm!" Zephyr's Armament Haki covered his entire right arm, the shiny black arm tinged with purple Armament Haki, making Reina feel a sense of life-or-death crisis.

"A concentrated strike, all-out power, freezing a thousand miles!"

Taking advantage of the moment Zephyr jumped, Reina gathered all the remaining energy in his body. The Hyōrin Maru Blade in his hand was now covered with transparent energy similar to that that appeared when Whitebeard used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but his energy had a hint of blue, which was the color of ice.

A massive slash appeared, colliding with Zephyr's right arm and creating a violent explosion. The naval soldiers who had already retreated were all blown down, while those who remained standing were all officers and generals wearing cloaks of justice behind them.

Not far away, standing next to the crane was a burly man with hair shaped like the Chinese character "山" (mountain). He was none other than the Navy Admiral known as Steelbone Sky.

"Tsuru, what do you think about this?" Sora asked Tsuru beside her, looking at Reina who was fighting Zephyr.

“Stand and watch!” Ah He replied irritably.

She was somewhat dissatisfied with the Navy's handling of Zephyr's situation. After all, Reina had at least killed Zephyr's enemies; otherwise, with the Navy's resources, who knows when things would have turned out this way.

Sure enough, upon hearing He's answer, Marshal Kong's face darkened, but he did not reprimand He, because he and the Five Elders had already discussed this matter many times.

"boom……"

Finally, the massive blue slash was shattered by Zephyr's powerful attack, but Zephyr himself was not in good shape either. His clothes were torn to shreds by the aftershocks of the explosion, proving that he had no energy left to take care of them.

A trickle of blood flowed from his trembling right arm; he had been injured by Reina's slash.

"You're nothing special after all~ Admiral... Zephyr!" Reina, kneeling on one knee, supported himself with Hyōrinmaru. He had exhausted too much of his strength. The series of battles had left him with no time to rest, so his strength was now completely depleted.

"Hahaha... It's quite a pleasant thing to capture you as a retirement gift! Kid, I'm now the chief instructor of naval recruits, which means... we probably won't have the chance to meet on the high seas again!"

"But you'll be spending the rest of your days in the deep-sea prison. Don't worry, I'll bring you some good wine!" Zephyr said with a hearty laugh as he looked at Reina, who had lost his fighting ability.

"Boom boom boom... Rumble rumble..."

But at that moment, the entire Marineford began to shake, as if an earthquake had struck.

"Oh no, it's a tsunami! Quick, everyone retreat! Retreat to the surface!" At this moment, a naval officer saw the distant sea and it seemed that a wave was crashing towards them. He immediately shouted in alarm.

"It's a tsunami! Run!"

"Quickly, quickly, everyone, take evacuation immediately!"

Immediately, the entire navy in the bay began to panic.

"So it's finally here? That guy!" Sengoku and Garp didn't retreat, but stood at the front with serious expressions. They knew that only that man had the ability to do such a thing.

Not far away, Ah He and Marshal Kong also put away their smiles and looked up into the distance. They knew that a tsunami of this magnitude could not have appeared out of nowhere, let alone at such a coincidence. So there was only one truth: that man had finally appeared.

Not far away on the sea, coming with the waves, was a huge pirate ship that looked like a whale, with a pirate flag flying on it that would make any normal person gasp in shock.

"Edward Newgate with the white beard!"

Garp and Sengoku shouted at the same time.

"Gurarararar... My dear brother! You weren't hurt by those marines, were you?" Whitebeard's signature laugh rang out, making Reina excited for a moment, then his face immediately darkened.

This phrase, "My dear brother!" seems to have become Whitebeard's standard opening line when addressing Reyner.

The reason was simply that while on the ship, a bored Reina told a story about an older brother with Sharingan who made his younger brother suffer a lot before finally awakening his Sharingan.

From then on, Whitebeard found it amusing and would always address Reina as "my dear brother" in that same tone.

"Wow~ Gaa~~!" Chabes took advantage of the waves and rushed straight into the harbor of Marineford. Reina, hearing its cry, jumped up and ran towards Chabes.

"Trying to run? Did you ask me first?" Sengoku's figure suddenly grew larger, and the golden Buddha reappeared.

"Hey...don't be so ruthless, okay?" Marco, who had already transformed into his phoenix form, stood directly in front of Sengoku to buy Reina time.

"Fist Bone Iron Fist!" On the other side, Garp also jumped up and threw a punch at the fleeing Reina.

"Garp... that's my dear brother, I can't let you kill him! Gurararara..." Whitebeard appeared in front of Garp at some point and blocked Garp's iron fist.

"Big brother, Marco! The wind's getting strong, let's get out of here!" Reina, who had already landed on Chabes, turned around and shouted.

Upon hearing Reina's voice, Marco suddenly rose into the air, using the momentum from Sengoku's attack to move away from Sengoku's attack range. Moreover, due to the seawater, he could no longer pursue him.

On the other side, after exchanging blows with Garp, Whitebeard flipped over and leaped back into the sea. Just as he was about to fall into the sea, Olga appeared with Elizabeth at some point and threw something at Whitebeard.

Whitebeard reached out and seemed to grab something, then floated back to the Moby Dick.

From the moment Whitebeard appeared to the moment everyone returned to the Moby Dick, it all went so smoothly, as if it had been rehearsed many times, that it was hard to believe they had appeared out of nowhere.

"Quickly, everyone, board the warship! We can't let them escape!"

"Quickly, quick, artillery...fire the artillery and sink them!"

After the Whitebeard Pirates were discovered, the port, which had just been hit by the tsunami, became extremely chaotic. The officers were busy finding their subordinates and then planning to pursue them by warship, while the defense forces were busy turning their cannons around, trying to sink the Moby Dick directly.

"Gurararara... everyone... see you on the high seas from now on! No need to see me off anymore!" Whitebeard, standing at the stern, had white, transparent energy wrapped around his hands, and then punched Marineford from a distance.

"Crackling..." It seemed as if the space in front of him was shattered by him, but the marines did not feel any attack.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Fleet Admiral Kong, who had not made a move until now, suddenly jumped out and punched the air in the harbor, as if there was something there.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

Just after Marshal Kong made his move, an explosion occurred in the air, and Whitebeard's attack was completely neutralized.

Watching the Whitebeard Pirates disappear into the distance, Fleet Admiral Kong glanced at Zephyr, sighed, and returned directly to headquarters.

Chapter 77 The Rising Bounty

On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard sat in the middle, Reiner sat opposite him, and the rest of the crew were all around them.

"So? Have you found the answer you were looking for this time?" Whitebeard asked, looking at Reina.

"Of course, there are still some idiots in the Navy. They believe in justice and insist on justice... With them around, I think we pirates are really having a headache!" Reina nodded with a smile and said.

"Gurararara... You idiot... If the Navy were so easy to deal with, it wouldn't be the most powerful force on the seas!" Whitebeard said with a loud laugh.

"Thank you all for coming to save me! To express my gratitude... everyone... let's have a banquet!" Reina stood up, bowed to his companions, and said.

"Oh~~~"

"Waaaaah... First mate, I was really cheering you on just now, you can't forget my contribution!"

The crew members burst into laughter, with Marco especially acting as if he had done the most work.

"Alright, alright... I got it! Joz... Go up to the Sky Island now and have the Doctor bring out all the white wine from the cellar. This time... we're not leaving until we're drunk!" Reina clapped his hands and said with a smile.

However, the crew members who were just excited and happy suddenly fell silent, looking at each other in bewilderment, as if Reina's words had some kind of magic.

"Um... cough cough... Reina! You're still injured, so how about we talk about the banquet another day?" Lacjoo said, walking out with an embarrassed look.

He was at his wit's end. The guys around him were all looking at him, clearly ready to betray him if he didn't come out on his own.

"What...? You didn't steal and drink all the liquor in the cellar while I was away, did you?" Reina mechanically turned his head to look at Lacjo and asked.

“Cough…cough…that…that…” Lakyo looked at Whitebeard, who was sitting in the main seat, and gestured to Reina with his eyes that he was not the main culprit.

"Hmph! I knew you wouldn't behave yourselves. Before I left, I asked the Doctor to open another small wine cellar next to the main cellar, and I hid all the liquor inside using the Doctor's invisibility potion! As for what you stole... I took it out on purpose... Wahahahahaha..." Reina suddenly curled his lips and said smugly.

After pure gold, Dr. Assie has developed an invisibility potion, which he claims was inspired by lunar technology. However, this potion only works on objects and has no effect on living things.

For example, if you pour a bottle of invisibility solution over a person's head, then apart from their clothes disappearing and becoming invisible, everything else about them will remain exactly the same. Moreover, the invisibility solution cannot come into contact with water, as it will lose its effectiveness if it does. Even if it doesn't come into contact with water, the invisibility effect will disappear once the person dries naturally.

The invisible ink takes about half an hour to air dry naturally.

Olga had previously given Whitebeard a rope coated with invisibility potion, and the other end of the rope was on a sky island in the sky, which is why Whitebeard was able to use the rope to return to the ship.

But after Reina finished speaking, the crew members' expressions became somewhat strange, giving Reina a bad feeling.

"Hey... I said... you guys wouldn't...?" Reina asked incredulously.

"Pfft, hahaha... The first mate is an idiot!"

"Hahaha... Doesn't the first mate know that invisibility potion only makes us invisible, but it can't hide our scent?"
