Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Father!" Robin rushed forward.

She had wanted to find Reina to ask him why his Sharingan suddenly became unusable, but Reina left immediately after leaving Uta's music world, and the situation on the scene prevented her from leaving at will.

Upon seeing Robin approach, Reina patted her on the shoulder and then asked Shanks, "Shanks, is this girl really your child?"

Reina was somewhat curious about Uta's abilities. The musical world she created reminded him of Infinite Tsukuyomi. Although he guessed that the Sleepless Mushroom might have played a role, Uta's own strength was not to be underestimated.

Furthermore, he suspected that the Navy's target this time was not the Red-Haired Pirates, but Uta.

"Of course!" Shanks nodded in response to Reina's question, though he was a little puzzled.

"Where is her mother?" Reina glanced at Uta and asked again.

The main issue is that Uta's hair color is quite strange, half red and half white, and he estimates it's natural rather than dyed.

“Uta is someone I found, but I’ve always treated her like my own child!” Shanks said in a deep voice.

Although he didn't understand why Reina had stepped forward to ask him these questions at this moment, Reina's status and position were enough to allow him to have an equal dialogue with him.

“She’s not completely beyond saving! At least I know several people who might be able to save her!” Reina said directly, not mincing words.

"Who? Who can save Uta!? Tell me, and I'll owe you a favor. In the future, as long as you, Reina, make a request, I'll do anything to help you, even if it costs me my life!" Shanks stood up and stared at Reina as he spoke.

Chopper looked at Reina with surprise. The poison of the Sleepless Mushroom was extremely potent, even he was helpless against it. So he really wanted to know if there was anyone in this world who could cure the poison. Once he knew of Reina's existence, Chopper felt that he had to visit him no matter what, and discuss or ask him for medical advice.

“From a medical standpoint, the one in Twin Gorges might have a solution; you should know his medical skills very well! Besides him, Chopper’s teacher, the witch from his hometown, might also have a solution! However, both of them are too far away from here. By the time you bring Uta there, Uta will probably have already died from the poison!” Reina shook his head and said.

Chapter 1063 The Possibility of Treatment

Reina's words surprised Chopper quite a bit, because Chopper knew both of the people he mentioned.

Leaving aside the one from Twin Gorges, he knew very well his teacher's medical skills, which were indeed very impressive. However, the toxicity of the Sleepless Mushroom was no joke; it was almost as difficult to treat as a terminal illness. Why was Reina so confident that his teacher could cure it?

On the other side, Shanks's face darkened upon hearing Reina's words. The man at Twin Peaks was the former ship's doctor of the Roger Pirates. Back then, his captain, the Pirate King Roger, was able to fulfill his dream of reaching the final island with Crocus's help.

Although he didn't understand exactly how potent the Sleepless Mushroom's toxicity was, given Crocus's medical skills, it would be difficult to completely cure it. Besides, Reina had said that distant water couldn't quench immediate thirst.

However, judging from Reina's tone, he seemed to have other ideas, so Shanks didn't interrupt but looked at Reina.

Sure enough, seeing Shanks staring at him, Reina chuckled and said, "I can't guarantee anything about medical skills, but I do know some Devil Fruit users who have the ability to resist poisons. For example, Smoothie of the Big Mom Pirates, her Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit can not only squeeze out blood from a person, but also squeeze out toxins!"

Nearby, upon hearing Reina mention Smoothie, the two sisters, Bryn and Brin, both looked at Reina. In their opinion, since Reina mentioned Smoothie at this time, it was very likely that he already had news of Smoothie.

You have to understand that Smoothie disappeared along with their mother, Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors. If Reina has news of Smoothie, then he also has news of Big Mom!

Kizaru, who had just arrived, naturally heard Reina's words: the disappearance of Big Mom and Kaido has now become the biggest mystery on the sea.

Some say they have died at the hands of extraterrestrial visitors, while others say they were only defeated and wounded, not dead, but hiding away to heal and try to make a comeback.

After all, it wasn't just the two of them who went missing; most of the officers from two pirate crews also disappeared. It was extremely rare for such a high-level combat force to be wiped out by extraterrestrial visitors, so rare that no normal person would believe it. Even if they were all defeated, it was impossible that not a single one of them escaped.

They believed that if extraterrestrial visitors were so powerful, they would have already broken through the blockade of the North Sea and begun invading all over the world.

So when they heard that Reina seemed to have news about Big Mom, even Kizaru and Green Bull started to get nervous.

The reason their navy is now able to sweep across the world is twofold: firstly, the great pirates of the New World have all gone to the North Blue, and secondly, Big Mom and Kaido, two of the Four Emperors, have gone missing.

If they were to make a comeback, even if they did nothing, the pirates' reputation would skyrocket.

However, Reina did not continue to talk about Smoothie. Instead, he said to Shanks, "Besides Smoothie, Vinsmoke Reiju, the eldest daughter of the Vinsmoke family, also has the ability to absorb toxins. And the Vinsmoke family is currently in the North Blue!"

Luffy and Sanji are no strangers to Reiju, especially Luffy. When he ate something indiscriminately in the waters of Big Mom and got poisoned, he happened to run into the Germa 66, who had arrived in the waters of Big Mom. It was Reiju who helped him absorb the poison and saved Luffy's life.

Chopper was also there at the time, so after Reina finished speaking, Chopper's eyes lit up and he nodded, saying, "That's right, that older sister does have the ability to absorb toxins. She might actually be able to save Uta!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's return to the North Blue immediately!" Luffy said, standing up as soon as he saw this.

However, Shanks did not move because he knew that the Germa Group was now under the command of the Whitebeard Pirates, and they might only be able to see Reiju if Whitebeard or Reyna gave them permission.

Moreover, he had not forgotten that Uta's current condition might not be able to hold out until North Sea.

While they were talking, Kizaru and the other Marines learned the gist of the matter and realized that Uta was about to die, so they immediately lost interest.

However, since Reina seems to have a way to cure Uta, they dare not draw any conclusions lightly.

If Uta is saved by Reina after they leave, then with Uta's abilities, he could not only cause considerable trouble for the World Government, but also pose a significant threat to their navy.

So rather than letting Reina treat Uta, it's better to finish Uta off right here and now.

He subtly gave Green Bull and his lieutenant a wink, signaling them to act according to the situation.

Kizaru's adjutant, being a long-time follower of Kizaru, immediately understood his superior's meaning. He quietly retreated a bit and began arranging for people to surround the central stage.

Shanks, Reyna, and the others didn't notice the Navy's subtle movements because all their attention was focused on Uta.

"Whether we take Uta back to the North Sea or have Vinsmoke Reiju come to the South Sea, I'm afraid there won't be enough time, right?" Shanks asked Reina.

Reina nodded and replied, "Under normal circumstances, it would indeed be too late, but... I can freeze Uta and then unfreeze her after we reunite with Reiju. That way, she might still have a chance to survive!"

"How confident are you?!" Shanks took a deep breath and asked.

“Half!” Reina thought for a moment and replied, “First of all, I’m not sure if freezing will really work! Also, I can’t guarantee that Reiju’s ability to absorb toxins will be 100% effective in absorbing the toxins in Uta’s body!”

Reina has frozen living people many times, but he has never actually tried freezing them for a long time and then thawing them. It is possible that by the time he freezes Uta and then thaws him, Uta will already be a dead person.

Therefore, he dared not make any promises to Shanks. If things didn't go well, Shanks might take his anger out on him. Although he wasn't afraid of the Red-Haired Pirates, it would be a loss for him.

After listening to Reiner's words, Shanks fell into thought.

"Shanks!" Luffy nodded to Shanks, indicating that Shanks agreed to Reina's suggestion, since it was the only way at the moment, otherwise they could only wait for Uta to die.

As for the person involved, Uta looked at Reina with some curiosity.

Even Uta, who has never left this island, is a household name regarding Reiner. As the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Reiner has many legendary tales.

Uta hadn't paid much attention when he was with Luffy before, assuming that Reina was also Luffy's partner. Now that he knew that the other party was the famous Akame Reina, Uta looked at Reina with curiosity.

Chapter 1064 Brulee and Brulee's Thoughts

Uta didn't understand why Reina would save her, and she had never heard of any connection between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates!

She didn't know that Reina saved her not because of the redhead, but because of herself.

The musical world created by the Song-Song Fruit is almost identical to illusion, or even surpasses it, at least unlike illusion, it does not require energy called chakra.

However, just as Reina finished his negotiations and before they could take any action, the navy made their move first.

"Shanks, the songstress Uta has committed such a grave crime, I cannot pretend I didn't see it!" Kizaru said, leading his men to surround the center stage.

"Hmph, if you want to take Uta away, you'd better ask the sword in my hand if it agrees!" Shanks said angrily.

The Uta incident had already been bothering him, especially now that he didn't know if Uta could be saved, and now the Navy was going to interfere, so he was naturally very unhappy.

"So, Akame Reyna, is your Whitebeard Pirates also going to get involved in this?" Now that Shanks had made his stance clear, Kizaru naturally looked at Reyna and asked.

Reina waved his hand and said, "I've said before, I won't interfere in your affairs!"

After speaking, Reina looked at Shanks and said, "I will freeze Uta for Luffy and Robin's sake. As for whether you can take her to the North Blue, that's your own business! The Vinsmoke Family is currently stationed at our front-line base in the North Blue. As long as you can take Uta there, I don't think my brother will refuse your request! After all, we still have to give you, Red-Haired Shanks, face!"

Shanks nodded, bowed to Reiner, and said, "Thank you for your help this time. No matter how it ends, I, Shanks, owe you a favor!"

Upon hearing this, Reina smiled and nodded, then with a wave of his hand, Hyōrinmaru appeared instantly.

After activating Bankai, Reina immediately froze Uta. The frozen Uta even stopped having a heartbeat. Reina could only sense the last bit of life left in Uta using his Observation Haki. So he said to Shanks, "You'd better hurry up. I can't guarantee that freezing him will really work!"

Shanks took a deep breath, looked at Kizaru, and said in a deep voice, "Kizaru, you'd better get out of the way, or today will be a fight to the death!"

Shanks' words startled Reina. For one of the Four Emperors to say such a thing meant that if Kizaru continued to obstruct them, one of them would not be able to leave here alive.

As expected, Kizaru also dropped his casual demeanor upon hearing this, looked at Shanks seriously, and said, "As a Marine, I cannot be intimidated by pirates! If your Red-Haired Pirates want to leave today, no problem! Uta must stay, even if he's a corpse!"

Seeing that Kizaru was going to get serious, Reina quickly stepped away from the center stage, not wanting to get involved.

Meanwhile, Luffy, seeing that the Red-Haired Pirates were about to fight the Navy, also made a stance to fight alongside them, but was stopped by Shanks.

First of all, this matter has nothing to do with Luffy and his crew. It's a battle between the Red-Haired Pirates and the Navy. Even though the Straw Hat crew is now one of the Four Emperors, Shanks still doesn't intend to let Luffy and his crew get involved. This is a source of pride for the Red-Haired Pirates.

Furthermore, Reina is right here. Once Luffy makes a move, Robin will inevitably be drawn into the battle as well. Although Robin's presence may make the Navy hesitate to act, Shanks is not the kind of person who would resort to such underhanded tactics!

So before Luffy and his crew got involved, Shanks said, "Luffy, leave this battle to us. Can I ask you to take Uta to the North Blue first? I'll catch up with you after we've dealt with this mess!"

Luffy wanted to refuse, but Chopper told him that Uta's condition was very bad and that it was best to return to the North Blue as soon as possible so that Reiju could help him get rid of the poison, otherwise it might be too late.

Left with no other choice, Luffy nodded in agreement, then had Chopper take Uta with him and prepared to leave.

However, Kizaru wouldn't just watch Luffy and his crew take Uta away. Their target wasn't the Red-Haired Pirates, but the songstress Uta.

However, just as Kizaru and his crew were about to make their move, the Red-Haired Pirates also intervened, blocking them and preventing them from attacking the Straw Hat crew.

The battle suddenly broke out, and even Reina wanted to applaud and cheer.

"Father, aren't you leaving with us?" Robin asked in surprise when he saw that Reina didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

"I won't go with you. You're too slow. See you in the North Sea!" Reina, who was watching the fun with the Brulee and Brin sisters, waved to Robin, telling her not to worry about him.

Robin looked somewhat helpless upon hearing this.

She had originally wanted to ask about Reina's Sharingan, but one thing after another kept happening, leaving her no time to speak. However, she didn't know that this was also the reason why Reina didn't want to travel with her. He didn't know how to explain it to Robin. Should he tell Robin that because of his Sharingan advancement, he was now unable to use it? That would be too lame and would damage the positive image of his great father.

After retreating a distance with Brulee and Brulee, Reina became a spectator. It was a rare sight to see two Marine Admirals fighting against the Red-Haired Pirates.

Meanwhile, the two sisters beside her were still uneasy because Reina had mentioned Smoothie earlier. They wanted to ask about Smoothie's whereabouts, but they were afraid that Reina would misunderstand and think that they didn't want to stay in the Whitebeard Pirates.

Finally, Brulee gritted her teeth and asked Reina, "First Mate..."

"do not know!"

Before Brûlée could even ask, Reina shook his head and said, "I don't know the whereabouts of Smoothie and Big Mom. If I did, I would have gone to find them long ago. Although my relationship with Linlin isn't great, they were still my partners in fighting off the extraterrestrials! Besides, you've already started contacting our Whitebeard Pirates' intelligence department, so you should know that our intelligence department is also searching for their whereabouts!"

The two sisters sighed at the same time, believing Reina's words, because what Reina said was true.

From the moment they joined the Whitebeard Pirates' intelligence department, they secretly observed information about the Big Mom Pirates. They dared not send their own intelligence agents to search for Big Mom, but they were able to observe the information about the Big Mom Pirates that the Whitebeard Pirates had collected.

Just as Reina said, the Whitebeard Pirates' intelligence records only stated that Big Mom was missing and they were searching for her with all their might.

"The reason I mentioned Smoothie before is because her ability does indeed have the effect of expelling poison, as you should know!" Reina seemed afraid that the two would not believe him, so he added another explanation.

“We naturally have no doubt about the first mate’s words, and Brulee can also swear that I inquired about Smoothie’s information not because I wanted to return to the Big Mom Pirates! My sister and I were saved by the first mate in a time of danger, and now that we are members of the Whitebeard Pirates, we would never be traitors!”

"But among those missing people, besides our mother, there are many brothers and sisters, especially Katakuri. If we can get news of them and know their situation, we can be at ease!"

"I can't believe it," Brulee said sincerely.

Reina nodded and replied, "Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust! Don't worry, I have no suspicions about you two sisters! If you're worried, you can report to the captain and use your abilities and methods to find the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates. If you can find them, not only will you be at ease, but I think our captain will also be very happy!"
