Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Three days after Reina emerged from the Tower of Trials, Frank arrived at the tavern with the latest intelligence, where Reina was drinking and chatting.

"The results are in?" Reina, who had almost fully recovered, asked Frank, raising his glass.

"Yes, just now, the battle is over. The Straw Hat crew successfully recaptured an island. Although our frontline didn't kill any enemy experts above level 30, Captain Marco successfully killed one of their level 20-something officers!" Frank happily handed the intelligence report to Reina and said.

"Hahahaha... As expected of Captain Marco!"

"It's only because my father didn't personally intervene that the other side would have lost several experts above level 30!"

"My injuries have almost healed. I'll go to the front lines when the next supply ship arrives!"

The tavern was mostly filled with members of the Whitebeard Pirates or their subordinate pirate crews, so they couldn't help but be happy to hear their own battle report.

"Not bad, the Straw Hat crew actually managed to reclaim an island without a single loss of crew members!" Reina said with a smile as he looked at the intelligence report about the Straw Hat crew.

However, although the Straw Hat crew reclaimed an island with zero casualties, all the crew members, including Luffy, were injured. Luffy even withstood the attack of the Destroyer in the final moments, buying enough time for everyone.

Meanwhile, the Revolutionary Army, the Red-Haired Pirates, and the Whitebeard Pirates launched a fierce attack on the extraterrestrial visitors. Fearing that something might go wrong elsewhere, the Destroyer had no choice but to retreat. However, before leaving, the enraged Destroyer still gave the Straw Hat crew a hard time, especially his final attack. If it weren't for Bartolomeo's Barrier-Barrier Fruit ability blocking it, many people would probably have died.

Even so, Bartolomeo fainted on the spot, and even his barrier ability, which had never been broken before, was shattered by the Venerable One's angry attack.

Aside from the Straw Hat crew's narrow victory, the Revolutionary Army and the Red-Haired Pirates didn't gain much either. This was mainly because the extraterrestrial visitors adopted a defensive stance, and Dragon and Shanks understood that their mission was simply to hold them off. So, apart from launching a fierce attack at the very end, they didn't go all out.

After the battle, an excited Shakya immediately asked Whitebeard to let him return to Future Island. After Whitebeard agreed, he rushed to Xuan Yue Island overnight.

Unfortunately, when he arrived, Reina had already entered the Tower of Trials for the second time, and Dr. Asie was still in the laboratory. So, in his haste, Shakya didn't wait for the two of them and went straight to Brulee. Using the hard shell and the slippery thing as nodes, he quickly moved towards the direction of Future Island.

The floating anchor points he designed for Brulee are not yet fully installed. After all, a large number of anchoring devices need to be made and fixed along the route, which takes a lot of time.

Fortunately, the vehicle he helped Brulee improve was completed, transforming it from a tire-powered car into a hovering car, increasing its speed several times over.

When Shakya returned to Future Island and uploaded the data to Vegapunk's brain, Vegapunk went completely insane.

"So my future really lies in the North Sea?" Vegapunk said with a sigh after reviewing all of Shakya's data.

“No! If we leave here, we won’t have enough resources to conduct experiments, and the World Government won’t let us off the hook!” Vegapunk shook his head, reminding his main body.

“I know, but the information Shakya brought is indeed very important! Let’s leave it at that for now!” Vegapunk sighed, turned to Shakya and said, “Go back to Xuan Yue Island and continue helping them there. I’ve already figured out the structure of the teleporter, and I’ll try to secretly make a few. Have Reina come and get them when the time comes!”

Shakyamuni didn't say much. He had just uploaded his memories into his brain and also downloaded and updated the latest technology in his brain.

Without lingering on Future Island, after completing the data update, Shakya and Brulee began moving towards Xuan Yue Island in the North Sea.

Meanwhile, Reina, who was fighting in the Tower of Trials, was already battling the guardian of the 40th floor.

The gatekeeper, who possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, Shikai Hyōrinmaru, the Six Powers of the Navy, and all three types of Haki, gave Reina a lot of trouble.

Although Reina could defeat his opponent at this point, he had to ensure that he was injured as little as possible, otherwise he would be unable to fight on the forty-first floor.

"Damn! It's an illusion!" When Reina looked into the eyes of the gatekeeper, his mind went blank for a moment. Although he immediately used his Sharingan to dispel the illusion, it allowed the gatekeeper to approach easily.

"Pfft!"

"Oh!"

The gatekeeper who was close to Reina stabbed Reina with Hyōrinmaru, but Reina kicked him away.

Looking at his injuries, Reina knew that after defeating the gatekeeper before him, he had no strength left to continue.

This was the first time he had faced the guardian of the fortieth floor since breaking through the fiftieth floor. When he first fought the guardian of the fortieth floor, the guardian's Sharingan clearly couldn't use genjutsu, but now it could, which caught him off guard.

Of course, it cannot be denied that his carelessness also played a part. His thinking was rigid, and he felt that the other party would not change, so he easily fell into the trap.

In the ensuing battle, Reina went all out, ultimately sacrificing himself to defeat the guardian of the 40th floor.

Congratulations! You have received 50 skill experience points!

Congratulations! You have obtained: 2 random summon beast fragments!

Congratulations! You have obtained: 2 random mount fragments!

Congratulations on obtaining: Ninjutsu: Water Release: Water Clone!

Congratulations! You have earned 200000 points!

However, just as Reina finished receiving his reward and was about to leave the Tower of Trials, the synthesized electronic voice suddenly sounded again.

"You have collected all the summoning beast fragments. Would you like to synthesize a summoning beast?"

Reina was taken aback. Although he could obtain fragments of summoning beasts and mounts in the Tower of Trials, he had never paid attention to it. He never expected that he had actually collected all the fragments of summoning beasts.

"synthesis!"

Without hesitation, Reina chose to synthesize.

"Consuming 50 Summoning Beast Fragments, you obtain the Summoning Beast: Surveillance Eagle!"

"Is there a contract...?"

"Contract limit reached... Unable to contract... Release the summoned beast?"

Reina was shocked to hear this. You're just going to release this summoned beast that you worked so hard to create?

Opening my character interface, the summoned beast section was indeed full.

However, he remembered that the shop seemed to sell scrolls that could increase the contract limit of summoned beasts, so he immediately opened the shop and found the scroll that increased the contract limit.

Summoning Beast Quantity Limit Scroll: 1 points (can be used 2 times).

I've used this Reina once before, when I bought it when I was contracting the hard case. This is the second time I've used it.

If he wants to increase the contract limit again, he will have to buy the Spirit Beast Quantity Limit Upgrade Scroll, which costs 50,000 points in Junzhou each time, making Reina feel like he's being ripped off!

Chapter 999 Good News

"Summoning Beast Limit Scroll successfully used. Current summonable quantity is 2/3!"

"Contracted Surveillance Eagle successful. Please name the new contracted beast..."

After spending 10,000 points to purchase the scroll that increases the number of summoned beasts, Reina spent another 1,000 points to purchase the scroll that grants the summoned beast contract, and only then did he successfully sign a new contracted beast.

"As for the name... let's call him Little Eagle, it's simple and convenient!"

After naming his new contracted beast, Reina did not immediately summon it, because the Tower of Trials forbade him to use this ability.

However, after signing the contract, Reina had a feeling similar to the feeling he had when Hardshell and Liuliu first signed the contract.

After dealing with the summoning beast, Reina turned his attention to another type of fragment. Along with the summoning beast fragment, there was also a mount fragment, but mount fragments were much less common than summoning beast fragments.

23/100

This is the current number of mount fragments in Reina's backpack. In other words, it takes one hundred mount fragments to synthesize a mount.

Seeing such a large gap, Reina simply ignored it.

Spirit beasts like Hardshell and Slippery can be used as mounts. He doesn't know how big the Surveillance Eagle is yet, but judging from its name, its purpose is to monitor rather than ride.

Besides, this is the world of One Piece, and the sea is the main theme here. If the system gives him a mount like a lion or a tiger, he won't have any use for it and can only play on Xuan Yue Island.

After checking his injuries, Reina decided to leave the Tower of Trials first. As long as he didn't enter combat mode, his injuries wouldn't worsen, but they also wouldn't heal. So, if he wanted to recover, Reina could only leave from here.

However, having already defeated the gatekeeper of the 40th floor on his second visit, Reina was quite satisfied with this progress. Although he estimated that he could only advance two or three floors at most on his next visit after the 40th floor, he was still very pleased with this achievement.

When Reina left the Tower of Trials and returned to his room, the maids who had been waiting there first prepared bathwater for him, then applied medicine to his wounds after his bath, and finally brought him the prepared food before leaving.

In just a few days, Reina had suffered two serious injuries, which was already taking its toll. However, the thought of turning his Sharingan into the Rinnegan gave him the confidence to continue.

For the rest of the time, Reina's life was repetitive and monotonous. Except for a day of rest when Shakya returned to Xuan Yue Island from Future Island, he spent the rest of his time either in the Tower of Trials or at home recuperating from his injuries.

After breaking through the 40th floor, Reina spent two more attempts to advance the Tower of Trials to the 45th floor. Reina estimated that he could only advance one or two floors at most each time he entered the later floors, so he simply slowed down the pace and advanced one floor at a time. This would also reduce the time he needed to recover from his injuries. It would only cost more points, but compared to the massive amount of points he would gain, this investment was nothing.

Besides advancing through the Tower of Trials, Reina also summoned the little eagle. He originally expected it to be at most the size of an ordinary eagle, but he didn't expect that the summoned beasts produced by the system were all of ordinary quality. The so-called surveillance eagle was actually a large eagle with wingspans exceeding five meters, and it had no problem taking Reina to take off.

Of course, the size of the Surveillance Eagle is incomparable to that of the Hardshell and the Slippery, but its area of ​​expertise is in the air, so there is no point in comparing it with the Hardshell and the Slippery.

Besides the unexpected size, what delighted Reina even more was that he could share the little eagle's vision. He didn't even need to form hand seals or anything; as long as he had a thought, the little eagle's vision would appear in his mind, which surprised Reina greatly.

Whether in ordinary times or in battle, it is of great help to Reina, which is to say that it gives Reina a god's-eye view in battle!

As long as the opponent's speed does not exceed Hawk's observation ability, Reina can completely lock down the opponent's movements from Hawk's perspective.

Furthermore, he discovered that he could bestow some of the Sharingan's abilities upon Kodak, making Kodak's vision even stronger. His outward appearance was somewhat similar to that of a tailed beast controlled by the Sharingan, with the iconic Sharingan pattern appearing in his eyes.

That day, when Reina defeated the gatekeeper of the forty-ninth floor and returned to reality, he found Frank waiting for him in the room.

"What happened?" Despite his wounds still bleeding profusely, Reina immediately asked Frank.

"It's nothing serious, First mate, please treat your wounds first, and then I'll report back to you!" Seeing Reina's covered in wounds, Frank quickly had a maid come forward to treat Reina's wounds and said.

"Okay, you wait here, I'll take care of it and come over. Come have something to eat with me then, I've been having a pretty rough time lately!" Reina said with a smile.

Since Frank said it's not a big deal, then there shouldn't be any major problems. We can talk about it later.

Soon, Reina and Frank, having finished their business, sat down at the table and began to eat.

"First, there's the Doctor's side. With Mr. Shakya's help, they've replicated the teleporter, but the energy they're using seems to be problematic. The teleporter we created not only has limitations on the teleportation distance but also a long waiting time, making it far inferior to their instantaneous teleportation!" Frank said, pouring Reina a drink as he watched him begin to eat.

"Oh? They actually managed to get it out? Did they figure out what kind of energy the extraterrestrial visitors were using?" Reina asked in surprise.

Since arriving from Shakya, they have been researching the teleporter. Apart from obtaining the flame energy converter from Shakya, Dr. Asie has spent all his time researching the teleporter, even neglecting the modifications to Xuan Yue Island.

"No, of the teleporters we retrieved, only the second one still has some residual energy; the first one is completely unusable!" Frank shook his head and said, "Even the second teleporter had its energy completely depleted during the Doctor's experiments!"

Reina nodded as he ate, saying, "These things aren't that simple to begin with. Energy is the most crucial issue. But the fact that they were able to successfully replicate the teleporter is already quite impressive! How far can our teleporter travel?"

Chapter 1000 The Restless Shakyamuni

"With Man Energy, our longest teleportation distance can be from Xuan Yue Island directly to the front lines! When the Doctor and Mr. Shakya were testing it before, they successfully teleported a pig from Xuan Yue Island to Daddy's place on the front lines!" Frank said excitedly. "Mr. Shakya said that it was because we used our electrical energy conversion ability that the teleporter could travel such a long distance. If we used fire energy, the teleportation distance would probably be reduced!"

"Oh? Has Assie already shown Shakya the diagram of the electrical conversion on the small sky island?" Reina raised an eyebrow and asked.

“Yes!” Frank nodded and replied, “After Mr. Shakya handed the blueprints for the fire energy converter to the doctor, the doctor asked me to take Mr. Shakya to the small sky island!”

“Hmm, cooperation is a win-win situation… glug glug…” Reina said, taking a large swig of rum, then wiping his mouth, and asked, “Can that teleporter accurately teleport to any island within a certain range?”

Frank smiled and said, "As long as you have a teleporter, it's possible!"

"What do you mean?" Reina asked, frowning.

"That means we need two teleporters! One to initiate the teleportation from our side, and the other to receive it at the destination! Dr. Assie's research hadn't progressed before because he was only using one teleporter. Later, Dr. Shakya suggested using two teleporters, and that's how they successfully completed the teleportation!" Frank explained to Reina as if reciting some information from memory.

"You didn't memorize all of this, did you?" Reina rolled his eyes and said.

Frank scratched the back of his head somewhat awkwardly and said, "There's nothing I can do. I can't understand anything the Doctor and the others are saying! Good heavens~ I'm just a pirate, and I've never even heard of many of the words they're using! But in order to report to my father and the first mate, I have no choice but to memorize it all!"
