Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

A day later, Reina's injuries had healed considerably, and he was now able to move around much more easily.

He exchanged four Superior Bloodline Ability Evolution Scrolls, worth 500,000 each, from the shop to upgrade his Sharingan. Then, Reina went directly to the back side of Xuan Yue Island, which was the Whitebeard Pirates' training ground. The place was large and there were no buildings around, making it perfect for his upgrade.

Not far away, Lakuyo and Ace, along with several other captains, were on guard around the area. Although Whitebeard did not return in person, he sent Ace back with several captains, just in case something happened.

Frank, meanwhile, is positioned in the core area of ​​Xuan Yue Island, ready to activate the island's defense system at any time.

In addition to them, the Piqué couple living on the island, Dr. Asie, Vinsmoke Judge, and Vegapunk's first clone Shakya in the laboratory were all watching from a distance.

Shakya, who was conducting research, did not want to come out, but upon hearing that Ray's Sharingan seemed to be about to advance, he even put down his research and came to watch with Dr. Asie.

Reina's Sharingan is appearing in this world for the first time, but according to Reina, his ability is passed down through bloodline, and Benedict D. Robin inherited this ability, which proves that he was not lying.

Therefore, Shakyamuni really wanted to study Reina's Sharingan, but he never brought up this request since it was destined to be rejected. Now that he had the opportunity to observe, he naturally didn't want to give it up.

Chapter 1037 Rinnegan

Once everything was ready, Reina used the Superior Bloodline Ability Evolution Scroll and then chose to evolve his Sharingan.

The scroll shattered from Reina's hand, turning into fragments of light that merged into his body. He suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his eyes, followed by a surge of energy rushing towards them.

"Ah~~"

The unbearable pain caused Reina to cry out, making the onlookers in the distance tense.

"Ah, break it for me!"

With Reina's shout, his Sharingan appeared for the first time without his permission, and the eerie, blade-like six-pointed star pattern in his eye socket began to spin wildly.

As Reina's Sharingan changed, the surrounding weather began to darken. The weather, which had been sunny just moments before, suddenly turned into a thunderstorm.

"Hiss~ What exactly is that guy trying to do?" Seeing the surrounding weather beginning to change, Lakyo, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but gasp and say.

"As expected of the first mate, he can influence the celestial phenomena with just his aura!" Ace, standing to the side, looked at Reina not far away with a face full of admiration.

In just a few moments, the area around Xuan Yue Island had turned into night, and along with the lightning and thunder came a fierce wind.

Fortunately, Xuan Yue Island had made preparations in advance, and everyone stayed at home. However, as the celestial phenomena changed, the residents of Xuan Yue Island began to worry.

They didn't know what would happen today, but Frank told them to stay home and not go out.

As the celestial phenomena changed drastically, things also began to change for Reina. Bright red blood flowed from his Sharingan, leaving two bloody marks on his face, which looked rather terrifying.

"Roar~!"

With a roar, Reina looked up at the sky, his aura intensifying once more. The dark sky began to turn crimson, and finally, a pair of enormous Sharingan eyes appeared in the sky.

Reina's body slowly rose, arriving in front of the Sharingan in the air. When Reina opened his eyes again, the red color in his eyes had disappeared, and the strange patterns were gone. His eyes had finally transformed into the mosquito coil-shaped Rinnegan.

"What...what is that?" Laco looked at Reina floating in the air. Although he couldn't see Reina's eyes clearly, the aura emanating from Reina was quite terrifying.

"Oh no, everyone, don't look at the eye in the air!" Just then, Ace suddenly exclaimed.

He noticed that the ordinary soldiers around him had suddenly become dazed and stared blankly at the eyes in the sky, motionless.

It was only then that Ace remembered that the Sharingan had the ability to bewitch people, and this giant Sharingan probably also possessed this ability.

"Oh no! Quick, notify Frank and tell him to go check on the island's inhabitants!" Lacjou also realized what was happening and shouted the order.

However, apart from the captains who still possessed the Sharingan's abilities, the ordinary soldiers here had lost their ability to move. Helpless, Laco had no choice but to hand this place over to Ace, while he took out a Den Den Mushi to notify Frank.

He never expected that the biggest variable in Reina's advancement this time would be himself.

After contacting Frank and asking him to appease and take care of the island's residents, Lekey and Ace retreated a distance. They were too close to Reina's location, and if Reina went berserk or something unexpected happened, they probably wouldn't even have time to react.

After everything was settled, Reina was still floating in the air, and the huge Sharingan in the sky was still there. However, Reina's aura was no longer as violent as before and had become more peaceful, which reassured Laco and the others.

Meanwhile, Reina was suffering. A large amount of energy surged into his eyes, causing him to temporarily lose control of them. He was even worried that so much energy might cause his eyes to explode.

However, although the energy provided by the Superior Bloodline Ability Evolution Scroll is enormous, it is not destructive, so Reina's worries are somewhat unnecessary.

Not long after, apart from the extreme pain, Reina felt his body begin to float, and his eyes seemed to sense something, but that thing was too far away from him, so the sensation was only faint and quickly cut off.

Although Reina had some doubts, he didn't delve into them. The most important thing now was to evolve the Sharingan into the Rinnegan.

After an unknown amount of time, Reina finally began to feel the presence of his eyes, and the pain gradually subsided. He regained control of his body.

Previously, because the energy was too surging, he didn't dare to act recklessly and could only let the energy in his body control his body. Now that the energy has been absorbed by his eyes, he has regained control of his body.

Slowly opening his eyes, he found that although the sky was still dark, there was no longer any lightning or thunder, and the huge blood-red Sharingan in the sky had also disappeared.

In the distance, seeing Reina return to the ground and the strange phenomena around them gradually dissipate, Laco and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Should we go take a look?" Ace suggested after a moment's hesitation.

"Let's go!" Lacour was even more decisive, running straight towards Reina.

When everyone arrived at Reina's side, they found him standing there in a daze.

"How's it going? How are you now? Did you advance successfully?" Laquero asked Reina.

Reina looked at Lacjo with a strange expression, nodding and then shaking his head, leaving everyone completely confused.

"Just tell me! You're nodding and shaking your head, what do you mean?" Laqué asked, somewhat speechless.

"I've successfully advanced, but... it seems there are some problems again!" Reina said with a wry smile.

"Phew, that's good!" Lacy breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What went wrong? Was it easy to fix?"

Ace and the others also looked at Reina, wondering what had gone wrong.

Reina said with a wry smile, "After my Sharingan is upgraded, it's called the Rinnegan, but... this eye seems too powerful, I... can't use it yet!"

When they heard the beginning, Lacourrell and the others were somewhat delighted, but after hearing the end, they looked at Reina with a look of absurdity.

What do you mean by "too powerful to use"?

Reina was also a little embarrassed. He had checked himself immediately and found that there was nothing wrong with him, but he couldn't use the Sharingan because the Sharingan had now been upgraded to the Rinnegan, but he couldn't control it yet, so the Rinnegan was unusable.

As for what form one needs to take to use the Rinnegan, Reina didn't know either.

Chapter 1038 Unexpected

After learning the outcome from Reina, Laco and the others were speechless.

"First mate... just how powerful is your Rinnegan? It can't even withstand someone with your strength?" Ace asked with an exaggerated expression.

“I don’t know either!” Reina said with a wry smile.

Logically speaking, this world shouldn't allow abilities like the Rinnegan to exist, but since Reina does possess it, the world imposes restrictions. For example, Reina's Sharingan and Black Emperor abilities are both limited by this world, preventing them from unleashing their original power.

However, this time the Rinnegan could not be used. Reina did not know whether it was because he could not use it even after setting restrictions, or because the Rinnegan was too powerful and the will of this world could not limit it, which was why Reina could not use it.

Reina doesn't know these things yet, but he can experiment slowly. However, he can't use the Sharingan until then, which means his strength has decreased significantly.

"I should have upgraded Black Emperor's ability first. It only costs one million points, but I spent two million points and ended up losing my Sharingan!" Reina complained to the system in his mind.

As for Lakyo's performance, it was both unexpected and a pleasant surprise. It was unexpected because Reina couldn't use such powerful strength for the time being, but a pleasant surprise because the power Reina gained this time was too great.

Judging from Reina's current physical condition, he is at least among the top in the Whitebeard Pirates, if not the best. However, even with such physical strength, he cannot withstand the power of the Rinnegan. So how powerful would Reina be when he truly masters the Rinnegan?

At that time, the Whitebeard Pirates will not only be the world's number one pirate crew, but they should also be able to become the world's kings without any problem.

However, Laco quickly realized that neither Whitebeard nor Reyna seemed to have any intention of becoming the King of the World.

Reina didn't tell Lacjo and the others that he couldn't use the Sharingan, not because he didn't trust them, but because he didn't want any chaos to occur.

So after chatting with the others for a while, Reina went straight to the liaison room, intending to tell Whitebeard about his situation.

The call was quickly connected, because someone from Whitebeard's side had been keeping watch over the Den Den Mushi since they knew about Reina's situation that day.

"So, although your Sharingan has successfully advanced, it's become too powerful, so you can't use it now?" Whitebeard asked in surprise after hearing Reina's explanation.

“That’s one way to put it!” Reina nodded and said, “But I don’t think it has much to do with physical strength. I’ll have to try again to find out the exact reason!”

"Yes, be careful. If you feel any discomfort, stop immediately!" the white-bearded man instructed.

"Don't worry, brother, I understand!" Reina replied with a smile. "By the way, is there any movement from the extraterrestrial visitors?"

"No!" Whitebeard sighed and said, "After we gave them the island, they didn't come back to cause trouble, but I still feel like something's not quite right!"

“The Annihilator hasn’t appeared for a long time, and the number of times the powerful extraterrestrial visitors have appeared has also decreased. They must have some kind of plan!” Reina nodded and said, “If they succeed, we might be in a very passive position, but we know too little about them, and the information we have is quite limited!”

"How about we try taking the initiative again?" Whitebeard said after thinking for a moment.

He had a good haul last time, which made him want to try again.

If Reina's Sharingan had successfully evolved, he would definitely have agreed to Whitebeard's proposal, since he also wanted to try out the Rinnegan's abilities. But now, not only can he not use the Rinnegan, he can't even use the Sharingan, which greatly reduces his combat power.

If the Venerable One comes this time and discovers something about himself, it will be terrible.

Not hearing a reply from Reyna, Whitebeard understood Reyna's concerns and said, "You stay here and guard the area. I'll take some men over this time just to test the waters, so there shouldn't be any problem. If the Venerable One appears, you come immediately. With the two of us combined, we should be able to deal with him!"

“Okay!” Reina nodded in agreement.

The main reason he agreed was that the recent movements of the extraterrestrial visitors were quite worrying, and after Whitebeard absorbed the power of destiny again, although he might not have returned to his peak, he was at least able to withstand one or two fierce battles.

The next morning, after leaving Lakyo on Xuan Yue Island to handle matters, Reina led the other captains to the front line. They did not use the teleporter, since it was only a journey of less than two days, and the teleporter consumed a lot of energy, so they wanted to conserve as much as possible.

Moreover, apart from Ace, the captains that Reina brought were not fully recovered. They were only going to the front line with Reina to guard the area.

This way, Whitebeard could lead more troops to the front lines.

After Reina arrived at the front lines, the first thing he did was to see Whitebeard.

"Are you alright now?" Whitebeard asked after seeing Reina.

"Yes! Apart from not being able to use the Sharingan, there are no other problems!" Reina nodded and replied.

"Has your family never encountered anything like this before?" Whitebeard asked after thinking for a moment.

Reina possesses many abilities, and they seem to be completely different from their power system, so Whitebeard cannot help Reina in this regard.

Reina shook his head and replied, "Even in my hometown, it's extremely rare to see the Rinnegan! There are only some vague rumors in the family records, and I'll have to figure out the specifics myself!"

"In short, prioritize your own safety and don't act recklessly! Even without the Sharingan, with your strength, you are still one of the strongest people in this world!" Whitebeard said in a deep voice.

He knew how much Reina cared about his strength, so he was afraid that his younger brother would be too hasty. If something irreversible happened because of this, it would be a great loss.

He actually suspected that Reina's Sharingan might have failed to evolve, which was why he lost it. However, he didn't understand this aspect, and Reina had clearly stated that his Sharingan had indeed successfully advanced.

Lakyo had also reported the situation that day to him, and Frank even had the video recording from that day, but even with his white beard, he couldn't understand it at all, since he wasn't there and couldn't identify it through energy.

Every time he thought about this, he felt a little regretful. If only he had gone back to Xuan Yue Island back then. Although the final result might not have changed, at least he would have been there and could have judged whether Reina was lying in that state.
