Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

“It is indeed a bit strange, but if they don’t want this island, we’ll take it!” Reina didn’t go all out, but remained vigilant to prevent the enemy’s powerful figures from suddenly appearing.

However, the situation is now completely unfavorable to them. If they continue fighting, they might lose the island. Not only have they not sent any strong reinforcements, but the speed of their support has also slowed down. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to launch that attack earlier, since they are already very close to the enemy's tents.

"Could there be some kind of trap?" Things were going too smoothly, which made Marco feel a little uneasy.

They didn't even need to use the reinforcements stationed not far away on the sea, and they were already close to occupying the island. It was going too smoothly.

"Tell everyone to be careful. It's precisely at times like these that we're more vulnerable to being outmaneuvered!" Reina nodded and said.

Just as Reina finished speaking, several more reinforcements emerged from the enemy's tent, one of whom gave Reina a somewhat dangerous feeling.

"So you've finally come out? Are you a Venerable One?" Looking at the enemy who posed a threat to him, Reina paused his attack and asked softly.

"No!" The newcomer shook his head and replied, "I am not the Venerable One!"

“No?” Reina frowned. The other party could give him a sense of threat, so he must be either a Venerable or a very close being.

“That’s right! And whether I am a Venerable or not is actually not important, is it?” While talking to Reina, the other party gathered the powerful visitors from outer space and said, “You came here simply to find out why we did not retaliate when faced with your attacks, right?”

Reina and Marco exchanged a glance, both noticing the surprise in each other's eyes.

"If you want to know, just agree to leave this place, and I'll tell you!" the other party said before Reina could answer.

"Why?" Reina was quite puzzled. Why would the other party make such a request?

He actually revealed his plans to the enemy? Reina simply couldn't believe it.

"Hehe... It's very simple. Even if you know now, it will be very difficult to stop us. So it's a good deal to use it for exchange! And you don't have to worry about me deceiving you. You just need to investigate a little and you'll know that I'm not lying!" The leader of the extraterrestrial visitors seemed quite confident.

Chapter 954 Reason

Faced with the enemy's demands, Reina pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "If that's the case, why should I agree to your terms? Since I can't stop your plans anyway, wouldn't it be better for me to just take over the island?"

"Take it directly? You can't take it?" The leader of the extraterrestrial visitors smiled slightly and said, "I'm just trying to reduce casualties, I don't really need to make this deal with you!"

"Oh? To reduce casualties?" Reina chuckled and said, "You're not really dead, so why are you afraid of casualties? Even if you're lying, you should at least come up with a plausible reason!"

Reina knew that what the other party said was probably true, but since he could get some extra information, why not continue?

They reduced casualties, undoubtedly to conserve their fortune, or perhaps their fortune was running low. But they had just expanded their territory, so why were they short of fortune? If they could figure out the reason, they might gain even more!

However, the other party seemed to have sensed Reina's intentions and didn't say anything more, but asked again, "Why waste words? Are you going to do this deal or not?"

Reina hesitated, not because he completely trusted the other party, but because he was weighing the pros and cons of the two options.

Just as the other side said, taking over this island will definitely not be easy. If the other side is really lacking in luck, then it is even less likely that they will give up this small island, and their final counterattack will definitely be very resolute.

If you agree to their request, even if you don't gain anything this time, it's still not bad to get information from them, even if it's false, it still has reference value.

After a brief discussion with Marco beside him, Reina decided to retreat. Now was not a good time for a large-scale attack. Although Whitebeard was leading a large force behind them, if the Venerable One appeared, coupled with the presence of someone whose strength was quite close to that of a Venerable One, it would be hard to say who would win the battle.

"Tell me, what exactly are you planning!" Now that he had made his choice, Reina naturally wanted the plan the other party had mentioned.

However, the leader of the extraterrestrial visitors did not answer, but simply smiled and looked at Reina.

"Tch~ Would I go back on my word? Everyone... retreat!" Reina waved his hand, ordering everyone to retreat, but Reina himself and the captains did not leave.

"The Destroyer has gone to Mary Geoise!" Although Reina and the others had not evacuated, the other party did not care and directly told Reina the information he wanted to know.

"Go! Retreat immediately!" Upon hearing the other party's words, Reina was taken aback at first, then pretended to be furious and led the captains away.

"What's the situation now?" Marco couldn't help but ask on the way back.

Reina gave him a look, signaling him not to ask any questions for the time being, and then pretended to be very anxious, telling everyone to evacuate immediately.

When they arrived aboard the Moby Dick, all the captains gathered around without Reiner giving any instructions.

"Big brother! Extraterrestrials have launched a surprise attack on Mary Geoise!" Reina didn't waste any words and directly stated the information he had just obtained.

"Huh?" Whitebeard was taken aback and looked at Reina in surprise. Why would an extraterrestrial visitor go to Mary Geoise?

The captains also looked at Reina in confusion; this was too bizarre.

Reina chuckled and explained, "Big brother, have you forgotten? Last time I met with the Extinction Venerable, didn't he ask me where the teleporter was? I casually said it was in Mary Geoise, and... I didn't expect them to actually go there!"

"No way? How do they know where Mary Geoise is?" Laqué asked, looking utterly bewildered.

Reina shrugged and replied, "I don't know about that, but if they really did launch a surprise attack on Mary Geoise, then everything makes sense. And it wouldn't be difficult for us to verify whether this news is true!"

“That’s right, we’ll find out immediately!” Marco said, his eyes narrowing. “But if it’s true, the World Government must be a bit confused right now! Hahaha…”

The thought that the World Government officials and Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise were about to face a surprise attack from extraterrestrials made everyone laugh involuntarily.

"Wait... does that mean the powerful extraterrestrial visitors aren't here?" Vista's eyes lit up as he looked at Whitebeard and Reyna, saying, "What do you think if we turn around and launch an attack now, could we take over a few more islands? Or... could we just attack their central island!"

“Too late!” Reina shook his head with a wry smile and said, “If we had known from the beginning, and joined forces with the other forces besides the Navy, we might have been able to gain a lot of territory. But now that the enemy dared to tell us the news, they can guarantee that they will block our offensive when we launch a counterattack!”

“That’s right. They’ve been on the defensive lately, probably to conserve their luck. Once they succeed, as long as they destroy or manage to bring the teleporter back, they can immediately use their luck to revive the fallen warriors!” Marco nodded and replied.

“But… they couldn’t possibly find the teleporter in Mary Geoise, could they?” Vista said with a smirk.

Upon hearing this, the team leaders couldn't help but burst into laughter; they had truly struck it rich this time.

"Hahaha... Maybe after they fight the noble lords of Mary Geoise to the death and both sides are severely damaged, they still won't find out that the teleporter isn't there at all? In that case, Mary Geoise will focus on the extraterrestrial visitors, while the extraterrestrial visitors will lose a huge amount of their luck and power? And we did nothing, yet we gained too much. Isn't that a bit unfair?"

"How about we shout 'Go!' a few times?"

"I think we should notify the Navy now; they might even thank us!"

"Hahahaha...This is hilarious!"

"Dad, this is such an interesting thing! We have to throw a banquet when we get back!"

After the team leaders figured it out, they all burst into laughter and started teasing each other.

The corners of Whitebeard's mouth couldn't help but curl up. This was indeed somewhat unexpected for him, but he wouldn't mind if such good things happened a few more times!

Reina never expected that a casual remark he made would lead to this situation. If they had known this would happen, they would have launched an attack sooner and won!

But this is fine as it is. As long as we pretend to be heading back to provide support, we might be able to convince the extraterrestrial visitors that the teleporter is really in Mary Geoise. Then the Celestial Dragons and the extraterrestrial visitors will truly become mortal enemies!

Chapter 955 The Navy's Troubles

Once the Whitebeard Pirates returned to their base, they immediately got busy. They had to create the illusion of returning to provide reinforcements and also had to inform other forces about the recent changes in the extraterrestrial visitors.

More importantly, they had to find out whether Mary Geoise was dead or had actually been attacked.

In short, everyone got busy.

The Navy was the most surprised after receiving the notification from Whitebeard's pirate crew.

"That bastard..." Sengoku slammed his fist on the desk in front of him. At that moment, he wished he could run up to Reina and teach him a lesson.

Sengoku's advisors, Tsuru and Garp, remained silent.

Although there has been no news from Mary Geoise yet, judging from the unusual behavior of the extraterrestrial visitors, this matter is probably true.

Yes, just one day before the Whitebeard Pirates set out, on the advice of Strategist Tsuru, Garp also led the Marines in a probing attack against the extraterrestrial visitors.

As they had anticipated, the other party's style had completely changed, which puzzled Sengoku and Advisor Tsuru. They never expected that the final reason would be this.

"What do we do now? Do we need to send reinforcements?" Staff Officer He asked Sengoku.

"Return to reinforce? There's no need, is there? It's just an elite team of extraterrestrials. With Mary Geoise's military strength, no matter how strong they are, they can't possibly destroy Mary Geoise!" Garp said with a sneer, clearly annoyed.

"I know that, but we received the news but didn't send any reinforcements. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to headquarters!" Staff Officer He said with a wry smile.

"Got any information? We didn't get any information. If we had, I would have attacked them directly instead of retreating after just probing them!" Garp chuckled and said.

“Karp is right. We shouldn’t get ourselves involved in this. Also, let’s not ask about Mary Geoise. Let’s just pretend we don’t know anything!” Sengoku sighed and said.

"But I'm really curious, what are those guys doing in Mary Geoise? There's nothing there except for that bunch of pig-like trash!" Karp asked curiously.

Sengoku was quite angry when this was brought up. It was definitely a conspiracy by Reina and the Whitebeard Pirates, but they actually managed to convince those extraterrestrial visitors.

However, after this incident, those extraterrestrial visitors will surely understand that the so-called teleporter is not in Mary Geoise. At that time, the Whitebeard Pirates will have to face the wrath of those extraterrestrial visitors, and they might even be able to gain some advantage from it.

So when Sengoku told Tsuru and Garp what had happened, they both found it hard to believe.

"Just because of one sentence from kid Reina, those idiots actually ran off to Mary Geoise?" Karp asked, his eyes wide.

After a moment's thought, Staff Officer He spoke up: "It seems those so-called teleporters are more important than we imagined! They have no intelligence sources in our world, so it's quite possible they managed to sneak all the way to Mary Geoise! ​​But you've been in the North Sea for so long, and you haven't even managed to snatch a single teleporter? Vegapunk has asked us about it many times!"

“Those things aren’t so easy to steal!” Sengoku sighed helplessly and said, “Their teleporters are usually hidden inside that tent, and they can call for reinforcements at any time through the teleporters. Even if we surround the tent, it won’t make any difference. They will either call for reinforcements or destroy the teleporters immediately!”

“This is indeed a bit troublesome. How did the Whitebeard Pirates obtain it? Can it be copied?” Advisor Tsuru asked, tapping his fingers on the table.

"It's practically impossible! They got their first teleporter in cooperation with the Big Mom Pirates. We considered replicating their methods back then, but ever since then, the extraterrestrials have been even more vigilant about their tents and teleporters! There's no way they could get a second one, not even the Whitebeard Pirates!" Sengoku shook his head and said, "As for the Whitebeard Pirates' second teleporter... they found it at an extraterrestrial base on the seabed!"

"Found it?" Staff Officer He looked at Sengoku with a strange expression and asked in surprise, "How could you find something so important?"

Sengoku sighed and said, "Originally, the extraterrestrials planned to surround us from the seabed and then launch an attack, but they were thwarted by the fishmen of the Whitebeard Pirates. Afterwards, Fishman Island sent a large number of reinforcements to support the Whitebeard Pirates. They fought a fierce battle with the extraterrestrials at their underwater stronghold. As a result, Princess Shirahoshi, who had been hiding on the outskirts, happened to encounter the extraterrestrials' tents being moved, and then... she was picked up by them!"

"Indeed... they're quite lucky!" Staff Officer He couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this.

"Pfft, hahaha... I never expected that the mermaid princess of the Fishman race would have such good luck!" Garp said with a loud laugh after hearing this.

He wasn't familiar with the Little Mermaid, but he had seen her before. She looked very big, but seemed quite frail. He never expected her to come to the North Sea as well.

"Don't underestimate her! She is Poseidon, the Sea King!" Sengoku glanced at Garp and said softly, "Although we also have underwater forces, they are not as powerful as the Fish-Men! Moreover, since that incident, the extraterrestrial visitors seem to have given up their plans to establish a presence on the seabed, and we have also begun to investigate the seabed area, so they can't replicate it even if they wanted to!"

"In that case... haven't you considered trading a teleporter with the Whitebeard Pirates? With Dr. Vegapunk's abilities, if he gets his hands on a sample machine, we might already be using the teleportation function by now!" Staff Officer Tsuru asked after thinking for a moment.

“They won’t make a deal!” Zhan Guo shook his head and replied, “Although I’ve brought it up several times, they’ve all refused without hesitation. They even refused when I suggested joint research with them!”

"If it were me, I wouldn't agree either!" Garp said, pursing his lips. "No one would share something like this!"

Sengoku glanced at Garp but ignored him, and continued to speak to Advisor Tsuru: "But since Dr. Vegapunk has been mentioned, could we talk to him? The extraterrestrial visitors here should be a very good research topic!"

"Don't even think about it. The World Government has already placed Future Island under martial law, and extraterrestrial visitors disappear after they die, so there's nothing we can research about them!" Staff Officer Tsuru shook his head and replied.

Chapter 956 Attack on Mary Geoise

Unlike the Navy's cursing of Reina, the Revolutionary Army and the Straw Hat crew found it somewhat comical when they learned that the extraterrestrial visitor had secretly gone to ambush the Celestial Dragons.

The Revolutionary Army, in particular, were practically ready to create a route specifically for the extraterrestrial visitors to deal with the Celestial Dragons.

"Chief, since those extraterrestrial visitors have gone to Mary Geoise to fight those Celestial Dragon trash, shouldn't we take advantage of this opportunity..."

"It's no use. The Whitebeard Pirates are sharing intelligence now instead of sending out their own troops because the extraterrestrials have almost finished their business. If we're really stupid enough to send out troops now, we'll just be asking for trouble!"

Before a revolutionary army cadre could finish speaking, Dorag waved his hand to interrupt him.
