Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

The so-called win-win situation means winning twice, to the point of being completely overwhelmed.

As for Luffy and Dragon, sending two teleporters over wouldn't be a problem, especially since they'd be providing the materials and resources themselves. Plus, with everyone having a teleporter, future support would definitely be more convenient and faster, and dealing with extraterrestrial visitors would be much easier.

Finally, and most importantly, the teleporter on Xuan Yue Island is the real entity. The Doctor and his team left a backdoor long ago, allowing them to teleport to any other teleporter. However, teleporting from other teleporters requires their authorization.

They didn't take this backup plan because they didn't intend to use it now, but rather to wait for the right opportunity, when it might bring them unexpected benefits.

Chapter 1017 Before the Battle

With the teleporter issue resolved, Reina had nothing else to do on Crescent Moon Island for the time being.

However, he remembered Dr. Asie's suggestion to ask Shakya to help improve their defense system.

Although Reina believes that their current defense system is sufficient, there is no harm in making it more powerful.

So, with nothing else to do, Reina gathered the Doctor and a few others and began to work on improving the defense system of Xuan Yue Island.

Originally, Shakyamuni had little interest in these things. In his view, wouldn't it be better to spend the extra time studying those extraterrestrial visitors?

However, when Reina told him that the extraterrestrial visitors were likely to take action soon and that he might go to the front lines, Shakya immediately had no objections.

He was still hoping that Reina would take him to the front lines again to see what it was like.

Just as they were redesigning the entire defense system, Laco called Reina to go to the front lines. After handing over the improvement of the defense system to Dr. Assie, Reina, along with Shakya and Judge, used the teleporter to go directly to the island at the front lines.

"Big Brother!" Upon seeing Whitebeard waiting here, Reina, who had just emerged from the teleporter, quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Gurararara... Not bad! Let's go, we'll talk as we walk!" Whitebeard patted Reina on the shoulder and said with a smile.

“Okay!” Reina nodded and followed behind Whitebeard. As for Shakya and Judge, they followed the two captains and headed towards the council hall.

“The extraterrestrials are probably about to launch an attack. They’ve increased their forces at the front quite a bit, though not significantly. But we’ve been watching them for a while now, so we suspect they’re planning to launch a direct attack, just like they did when they took over the Straw Hat crew’s territory, to catch us off guard,” Marco explained to Reina as they walked alongside him.

"Do you know their target?" Reina nodded and asked.

“It’s still unclear. We’ve communicated with the Revolutionary Army, and they’ve learned that their extraterrestrial visitors are also reinforcing their troops on the front lines. So we suspect that they’re planning a simultaneous attack on all fronts. If they suppress one direction, they’ll use the teleporter to reinforce that direction!” Marco said, squinting.

"Let's also inform the Straw Hats! They're the weakest overall, and if they're not prepared, they might be caught off guard by the extraterrestrial visitors!" Reina said after thinking for a moment.

“We’ve already notified them!” Marco said with a wry smile.

Putting aside Robin's relationship, Ace wouldn't let Luffy suffer a loss. Besides, his wife is Nami's sister. If Makino found out, wouldn't she kick Marco out of the house?

Once they arrived at the council chamber, Whitebeard looked at Reina and said, "For now, I plan to keep you out of the picture until they launch their attack!"

"Brother, do you want to wait until the main force of the extraterrestrial visitors is deployed before we counterattack?" Reina raised an eyebrow and asked.

"There's no need. If we join forces, we won't wait for their all-out attack; we can counterattack directly!" Whitebeard replied domineeringly.

"How about... we launch an attack first?" Reina raised an eyebrow and said.

"No!"

"no!"

"First mate, in that case, we're likely to suffer significant losses!"

Before Whitebeard could even speak, the captains objected.

If they launch an attack on the extraterrestrial visitors now, then the extraterrestrial visitors who were originally preparing to launch a full-scale attack will definitely all come to attack them. At that time, regardless of whether they can withstand it, the losses will definitely be huge.

Reina chuckled, looked at the tense captains, and said, "Do I look like an idiot to you?"

Lacjo's face darkened immediately, and the way he looked at Reina became strange.

"Alright, alright, I was just joking!" Reina said, shrugging his shoulders.

Sure enough, when Reina said that, everyone looked at him with a hint of resentment.

Reina touched his nose, looked at the white-bearded man, and said, "Big brother, if the Venerable One comes this time, can you leave him to me?"

Whitebeard looked at Reiner and asked, "Are you confident?"

"How can I be confident if I haven't fought before? But I want to try and see if there's still a gap between us since last time!" Reina said, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"Oh? You gained a lot from this seclusion?" the white-bearded man asked with great interest.

The other captains also looked at Reina. If Reina's strength had indeed increased significantly again, they would be curious about just how strong Reina was now.

“There have been some gains, but not much growth!” Reina shook his head and replied.

As soon as Reina finished speaking, everyone showed an expression of "I knew it."

It's not uncommon for strength to grow rapidly, but that's mostly during youth. Like Luffy, who has a good foundation and has experienced many fierce battles, his power naturally grows rapidly. However, after reaching a certain level, his strength will gradually stabilize and remain at its peak, without further growth. As time goes by and he gets older, his strength will gradually decline.

Everyone has had this experience. For example, Marco, when he first joined the Whitebeard Pirates, was easily defeated by anyone. However, he had great potential and talent, so his strength increased very quickly, and he reached his peak within a few years. But after he reached his peak, his strength basically stopped increasing.

Only Reina's hellish training can improve their strength again, but the improvement is negligible compared to the training they have experienced, which is why they strongly resist Reina's training.

However, Reina possesses a special advantage and a clear direction for progress, which allows him to maintain continuous training and enhance his abilities.

“However, I have a feeling that if I take another step forward, I should be able to make a breakthrough, and it shouldn’t take long!” Reina said with a slight smile as he saw everyone’s expressions.

"He can still break through?" Marco's lips twitched involuntarily.

They had long suspected that Reyner was now stronger than Whitebeard. If he were to break through again, would he become the world's strongest?

“Hmm! I feel like my Sharingan… is about to change again!” Reina nodded in response.

A glint flashed in Whitebeard's eyes as he looked at Reina and asked, "I remember you said before that your current Sharingan level is top-tier even within your clan. If you break through, wouldn't you be stronger than everyone else in your clan?"

“It’s not the strongest. Our family’s ancestor once possessed a Sharingan even more powerful than the Eternal Sharingan, known as the Rinnegan! It had unparalleled power!” Reina shook his head and said.

"The Rinnegan?" Everyone gasped.

Judging from the name, these glasses probably have some kind of abnormal ability. Reina's Sharingan had the ability to foresee the future, and the Rinnegan... could probably even see a person's past and present lives?

Chapter 1018 Shakyamuni's Request

“The so-called reincarnation does not mean being able to see other people’s reincarnation, but rather… having the power to make anyone reincarnate!” Reina said with a slight smile.

Everyone's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Sending someone to reincarnation? Isn't that the same as being killed?

Even Whitebeard was curious and wanted to see just how powerful the Rinnegan really was.

However, Reina estimated that the Rinnegan would definitely be weakened by then, just like the Sharingan and his Black Emperor's variant abilities, and would not exceed the limits of this world.

If someone really had the same performance as in Naruto, then if Im dared to face Reina head-on, Reina would show him what true invincibility is!

Unfortunately, this world has a strong suppressive effect on Reina's cheat abilities. Otherwise, with Reina's current abilities, he would have been invincible in this world long ago. Not to mention the world government, Reina could kill any extraterrestrial visitors.

Putting everything else aside, with his LV.3 variant ability, ordinary attacks simply cannot harm Reina.

"I remember that your eyes always face considerable risks when advancing in rank, right?" Whitebeard asked Reina.

Reina nodded and said, "Yes, but that's through some other means. If you advance on your own, the success rate is still very high. I'm just a little worried about Robin. Her eyes are stronger than mine, but it's also more dangerous for her to advance. Before the three tomoe, it's fine, but if she wants to advance to the Mangekyou Sharingan, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. Moreover, the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan is limited. Using it too much will lead to blindness, unless she advances to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan before she goes blind!"

"But the simplest way to advance is to fuse with another pair of kaleidoscopes, and they must be related by blood!"

Seeing Reina's wry smile, everyone felt that this Sharingan was too strange, that it actually required the eyes of a blood relative, which was too cruel.

Reina didn't know anything about Robin's Sharingan either. Perhaps it was a power born from this world, which is why Robin didn't have as many restrictions when using it as Reina, and its power was also greater. In fact, Robin's Sharingan also had some genjutsu abilities, allowing her to use mental energy to attack others.

However, Robin has had her Sharingan awakened for quite some time now, but it is still in the single-tomoe form, which doesn't offer her much help.

Robin's single-tomoe Sharingan is powerful, but its power is too weak to sustain her in a single battle; it can only be used as a trump card.

Reina wasn't unaware of the factors that required the Sharingan to advance, but he figured it was better not to let Robin experience such painful things. Anyway, with him around, no one would really dare to hurt her.

Even the Navy, in order to avoid a real battle with the Whitebeard Pirates, would only capture her instead of killing her on the spot, even if they defeated the Straw Hat crew.

It was precisely because of the deterrent effect of Reina and the Whitebeard Pirates that everyone knew they couldn't go too far when dealing with the Straw Hat crew.

While Reina was discussing the Sharingan, Shakya listened with a curious expression.

The World Government has conducted extensive investigations and speculations about Reina's Sharingan, and even Vegapunk studied it for a while. However, Reina's Sharingan seemed to originate from his bloodline, and without studying the physical form, even Vegapunk made no progress and ultimately had to give up.

Now that he had heard about Reina's Sharingan, Shakya was naturally quite curious.

However, Reina didn't talk to everyone much. He only briefly mentioned that his Sharingan might be about to advance in level, and then the topic shifted back to the extraterrestrial visitors.

"Lord Whitebeard, Lord Reina, I have a request, I wonder... if it's convenient to say it now?" After a moment, Shakya suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked at this robot-like clone of Vegapunk. As a core member of the Whitebeard Pirates, everyone present knew that this person was the world's greatest scientist, Vegapunk!

“Mr. Shakya, you can bring up anything now so we can discuss it together!” Reina said with a slight smile.

Although Whitebeard is in charge here, it's fine for Reina to ask questions, because he is not only the second-in-command of the Whitebeard Pirates, but also the one who brought Shakya to the Whitebeard Pirates.

"It's like this, the fact that the bodies of extraterrestrial visitors disappear has brought great difficulties to my research. Although there is Mr. Reina's speculation, whether the communication method they use internally is similar to my brain library remains to be seen! Even if they really use some kind of tool that links all extraterrestrial visitors, under the current circumstances, we simply cannot know, let alone imitate or study it!" Shakyamuni stood up, bowed to the white-bearded man, and then slowly spoke.

“Then, Mr. Shakya, if you have any suggestions, or if there is anything we can do for you, please let us know. As long as it is not too difficult or unreasonable, we are willing to try!” Reina replied with a smile.

“This is my idea!” Shakya took a deep breath and said, “I heard that your group has a user of the Memory-Memory Fruit? I wonder if we could have her come and help. After capturing the enemy on the front lines, she could use her ability on them immediately. Perhaps we could get a glimpse of what’s going on!”

“This…” Reina hesitated for a moment and said, “It’s not that we’re unwilling to try, but… it’s difficult to create the conditions for Pudding! The Doctor should know how ferocious the extraterrestrial visitors are. It’s almost impossible for us to capture them alive. If we let Pudding launch a sneak attack… her strength is too weak. She basically has no ability to protect herself on the battlefield. And as soon as we appear, the enemy’s abilities can see our strength, so they can’t get a strong person to protect her!”

Reina's words made it clear that it wasn't that they were unwilling to do it, but that they genuinely couldn't.

Vegapunk was being somewhat naive. The Navy had spent a huge amount of money to capture the extraterrestrial visitor before he died and then sent him to Vegapunk for research. However, as soon as the visitor regained consciousness, he would commit suicide, and after he died, his body would disappear, making it completely worthless for research.

In fact, even if the extraterrestrial visitor is unconscious, Pudding can use her abilities on him, but Reina simply doesn't want to go to such great lengths to capture him alive. The extraterrestrial visitor who is too weak knows only so much, and the extraterrestrial visitor who is too strong cannot be captured at all.

Shakya naturally understood what Reina meant and said with a smile, "Mr. Reina misunderstands. Even their ordinary soldiers would know something about this kind of equipment or ability that links all their people. So even the weakest ordinary soldier on the battlefield is of research value to me, especially with Miss Buling's help!"

“If you just need me to capture an ordinary extraterrestrial visitor, that should be no problem!” Reina nodded and replied confidently.

"That's wonderful! Could you please contact Miss Pudding and have her come and assist me? We're right behind the battlefield. Once we capture someone, she can immediately use her ability to display their memories for me to study!" Vegapunk asked excitedly.

Reina looked at Whitebeard, and after seeing the other nod, he said to Laco, "Contact Crescent Moon Island and have Brin come over immediately!"

Chapter 1019 Surprise Attack

After agreeing to Shakya's request, Reina waited on the front-line island for the extraterrestrial visitors to launch a war. However, after staring at them for almost three days, Reina began to feel that something was wrong.

“Brother, something’s not right with the extraterrestrial visitors! Although their number of ordinary warriors has increased, the number of strong warriors hasn’t!” Reina said to Whitebeard with a frown.

Although Reina did not personally go to the front lines for the sake of secrecy, he could still obtain the latest intelligence from the captain who returned from the front lines every day.

"Nonsense, the number of our strongmen on the front lines hasn't changed. They're not going to send reinforcements on their own initiative; that would be too obvious!" Whitebeard rolled his eyes and replied.
