Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Zoro, who always believed in the supremacy of strength, nodded in agreement. In his view, as long as he was strong enough, he could cut down any opponent with a single strike.

"By the way, Luffy, what level of extraterrestrial visitor did you kill this time?" Seeing that everyone's mood was not high, Reina quickly changed the subject and asked.

"Hehehe... a level 38 powerhouse!" Luffy looked delighted upon hearing this and said proudly, "I really had a hard time defeating him!"

In fact, with Luffy's strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill the extraterrestrial visitor who was over level 30. Moreover, the other members of the Grass Trade Company were quite strong and could help him hold off the other grunts.

To put it nicely, they are people with principles, but they are not good at fighting on the battlefield; to put it bluntly, they are idiots.

To argue with the enemy on the battlefield is simply foolish.

After watching their battle, Reina knew that it would be several times more difficult for them to kill their enemies than for others.

On the battlefield, where do you find so much time to fight one-on-one with the enemy? If there were such an opportunity, countless powerful beings from outer space would have been killed. As for the Straw Hat crew, they rarely participate in their companions' battles unless the enemy is overwhelming them with numbers. Otherwise, they spend most of their time on the battlefield either in a large group or cheering on their comrades who are fighting.

Princess Vivi and Reina have mentioned this point vaguely a few times, but only Nami and Usopp take it seriously. Zoro and Luffy, on the other hand, would never let anyone interfere in their battles.

Therefore, Luffy's ability to kill powerful enemies is not only due to good luck, but also proves that he is really strong and definitely has the fighting power of a Yonko.

Chapter 1033 Reminder

After spending some time with the Straw Hat crew, Reina approached Robin alone and hesitantly and cryptically inquired whether she wanted to return to the Whitebeard Pirates.

Of course, Reina didn't ask directly. Instead, he told Robin that it was dangerous outside and that if Whitebeard and he missed her, it would be best to go back to Crescent Moon Island or something similar if possible.

Reina wasn't sure if Robin understood his hidden meaning, but Robin rejected his suggestion, telling him that the Straw Hat crew was now strong enough to protect her.

After staying at the Straw Hat's residence for a day, Reina finally took his leave.

He had already learned the details of Robin's injury from Jinbe, so he didn't blame Luffy and the others. After all, as a pirate, Robin couldn't possibly avoid fighting.

Just as she herself said, his companions were enough to protect her, and Reina only needed to be sure of that.

Watching Reina's departing figure, Sanji, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, softly asked Robin beside him, "Mr. Reina must be injured. Shouldn't you ask him how he is?"

“Since he didn’t tell me, it means he doesn’t want me to know!” Robin smiled slightly and replied.

She was very grateful for Sanji's reminder, but she had noticed that Reina was injured on the very first day he arrived. However, as she had just said, Reina did not tell her, which meant that he did not want her to know.

As the vice-captain of the world's number one pirate crew, Reina is a very strong-willed guy in Robin's eyes. So even if she knows something that Reina doesn't say, she will pretend not to know it.

Just like in the previous conversation, she had already understood what Reina meant, but firstly, she didn't know how to respond, and secondly, she really didn't want to leave her companions, so she pretended not to understand.

She knew that given her father's pride, it was already the limit for him to say those words in a subtle way.

Moreover, she no longer blamed Reina for what happened back then. Her father hadn't abandoned her intentionally; he simply didn't know she existed.

Later, Reina's care for her made her feel her father's love.

As for her joining the Straw Hat Pirates, she didn't think her father had made a mistake. In her opinion, meeting her current friends was the greatest fortune of her life.

Looking at the smiling Robin, Sanji exhaled a smoke ring and said softly, "Is this really okay? Although he is a powerful pirate, he is also your father, right? I don't think any father would dislike his children's greetings and concern, would he?"

Robin was stunned after hearing Sanji's words. She had always thought that Reiner was so strong that he didn't need anyone's care. She had always been the one seeking warmth from Reiner and rarely expressed her concern for him, even though she cared about her father.

Seeing Robin's stunned expression, Sanji smiled slightly and walked away, feeling that he didn't need to say anything more.

He also thought of the old man in the East Sea, the one who was like his real father.

When he left, a simple word of thanks brought tears to the eyes of the seemingly strong old man. Although he said that a man doesn't need a sad farewell, he still shed tears of sadness and relief when he said goodbye to him.

Now he has fulfilled his original dream and accompanied Luffy to complete his dream of traveling around the world. Although Luffy did not become the true King of the Sea, that was not Luffy's dream. After the matter of the extraterrestrial visitors is resolved, he plans to return to the East Blue with Luffy after finishing the last thing. The old man is getting old, so he should inherit the sea restaurant!

After being awakened by Sanji's words, Robin suddenly felt an urgent need to see Reiner, Whitebeard, and the Whitebeard Pirates.

Everyone has always taken good care of her, but she has taken it for granted and never done anything in return.

When did I start to become like this? Was it when I recognized my father? Ever since I became the child of the great pirate Reina, I've taken it for granted that I would enjoy the care of the Whitebeard Pirates, haven't I?

After figuring it out, Robin went straight to the port, used a summoning spell to summon the little fat boy, then said something to Bartolomeo, who was on patrol that day, and left.

"???" Bartolomeo was completely bewildered as he watched Robin leave.

Robin just told him that she was going to the Whitebeard Pirates and asked him to tell Luffy not to look for her, as she would be back in a few days.

But didn't Lord Reiner of the Whitebeard Pirates just leave? If he was leaving, why didn't he leave with Mr. Reiner?

Completely bewildered, Bartolomeo ordered his men to continue patrolling while he went to find Luffy and tell him what had happened.

However, before he could leave the port, he encountered Sanji.

"Alright, you can continue your patrol. I'll go tell Luffy!" Sanji stopped Bartolomeo, offering to do it for him.

Bartolomeo was even more puzzled, but since they were all the older brothers and sisters of the Straw Hat crew, he was quite happy to follow their orders.

Sanji found Luffy, who was eating and drinking to his heart's content, and recounted what had just happened.

As expected, Luffy didn't seem to mind, but asked in surprise, "Eh? Uncle Reina is injured? It seems they went through a tough battle! But if Robin wants to go to the Whitebeard Pirates... why not use the teleportation device? Wouldn't that be faster?"

Everyone was speechless.

Although Robin wanted to join the Whitebeard Pirates, it was clear that she wanted to catch up with Reina and then travel to the Whitebeard Pirates with her father. The journey would also be a rare opportunity for the father and daughter to spend time together, so naturally, they wouldn't need a teleportation device.

However, no one bothered to explain to Luffy, as he simply didn't understand the concept of a father.

"If I had known Robin was going to Xuan Yue Island for vacation, I would have gone with her. I really want to see my cute little nephew!" Nami stretched and said with a smile.

Marco and Nojiko's child is Nami's nephew. She has only met him once, and he is probably crawling all over the place by now. She also wants to see her relatives.

"Hey? Nami wants to go too? Should we use the teleporter? It's so much fun!" Luffy leaned over and asked with a smile.

"boom!"

Nami punched Luffy on the head, sending his head flying back, and said, "The teleporter isn't for playing around with. If you waste its energy, you won't be allowed to eat!"

"Ah? No way~~~"

Luffy's pitiful cries, Nami's angry roars, and the laughter of the other crew members mingled together, seemingly reaching Bartolomeo, who was far away at the port.

However, he was still puzzled as to what had happened.

Chapter 1034 Transformation

After leaving the Straw Hat crew's base, Reina had a feeling he couldn't quite describe.

Although he and Robin got along well and he thought he treated Robin with all his heart, he only realized today that their relationship was actually just superficial.

As he pondered why things had turned out this way and how he could make changes, Reina suddenly realized that deep down he still saw Robin as Nico Robin from the One Piece world, not as his daughter.

That's why Robin was allowed to join the Straw Hat crew in the first place.

If he didn't know the story of One Piece, would he still have made that choice? He's certain he wouldn't.

This was also what Whitebeard couldn't understand back then.

Is there any pirate crew in this world stronger than the Whitebeard Pirates? If you're going to become a pirate, wouldn't it be better to become a member of the Whitebeard Pirates?

Look at Marco's child. Although he's still a little kid, you can imagine that when he grows up, he'll either be a pirate or, if he does, he'll be a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He could either become a captain of the Whitebeard Pirates like his father, or form his own pirate crew and become a captain under the Whitebeard Pirates!

This is the path a second-generation white person should take.

After figuring it out, Reina made a decision: to forget Robin's previous identity. Now, Robin only has one identity: his daughter, Reina's daughter.

After putting everything down, Reina suddenly felt a sense of clarity, and even his injuries improved somewhat.

"Um~~~"

Just then, Hardshell suddenly turned around and called out to Reina.

"Huh?" Reina turned around in surprise.

Hardshell had just told him that something was chasing it from behind.

He ordered the hard shell to stop and wait, as Reina wanted to see what it was that had been chasing him all this time.

When Robin caught up with the Straw Hat crew riding on the chubby little horse, Reina was taken aback, thinking that something had happened to them.

"What happened?" Reina asked, appearing on Little Fatty's back in a flash.

Seeing his father's somewhat nervous expression, Robin smiled slightly and said, "No, it's just that I realized I haven't been back to see Dad and the others in a long time. Since Father is here, let's go back and visit them together!"

Reina was taken aback for a moment, then laughed happily.

If it were before, he might have felt nothing but surprise, but now he could clearly feel Robin's closeness to him.

“Okay! My brother has said it many times, hoping I can take you back for a few days, but I was afraid you wouldn’t be used to it, so I haven’t mentioned it to you!” Reina replied with a smile.

“Father should have told me this sooner, otherwise he would have thought I didn’t want to go back!” Robin said to Reina, revealing a rare side of herself.

"Hahahaha... Let's go over to the hard shell area. Little Fatty is still a bit too small! By the way, I recently signed a new Surveillance Eagle. Want me to transfer it to you?" Reina said with a loud laugh.

"No need, Father should keep it for himself! Little Fatty is great, I like him very much!" Robin shook his head and replied.

Once the two reached the hard shell, Reina couldn't wait to go to the kitchen to make something for Robin to eat, but Robin refused because she wasn't hungry yet.

The two of them got two deck chairs and lay down on the hard back of the chairs, basking in the sun and chatting.

"Is Father's injury... serious?" Robin asked hesitantly after chatting for a while.

Reina was taken aback, then waved his hand and said without hiding anything, "It is indeed a bit serious, but it's not a big problem. He'll be fine after some rest!"

Robin looked at Reina with some surprise. She didn't expect Reina to say that. If it were before, Reina would probably have just told her that she wasn't injured, or that it was just a minor injury.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just telling you the truth. I think this way you might not be so worried. Telling you that you're not injured when you're actually injured might make you more worried!" Seeing Robin's expression, Reina touched his nose a little embarrassedly and said.

Although I've figured it out, it will still take time to make the change.

Robin covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Is there any medicine in the room? Let me apply some for you!"

He knew that Reina often kept some medicine in the room on the back of the hard shell, because the hard shell was Reina's most frequently used vehicle, so it was convenient to store some medicine there.

The second floor is the room where she used to live. The furnishings are basically unchanged, just as she used to live there. It's just that someone cleans it regularly, and Robin guesses that her father cleans it himself.

Reina hesitated for a moment, but still got up to get the wound medicine. He didn't want to apply the medicine at this time; he usually applied it and changed the bandages after taking a shower at night.

However, since Robin had spoken up, he didn't want to refuse.

With Robin's help, he removed the bandages he had hastily wrapped himself the night before, and then Robin applied medicine to the wounds again before re-bandaging the bandages.

"Thank you, that feels much better!" After finishing, Reina stretched his arms a few times and said with a smile.

He simply wrapped the bandage around himself a few times, and it didn't look very good.
