Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Really?" asked the younger Bu Ling with a delighted expression.

“Of course!” Reina nodded and replied with a smile.

Chapter 1065 Fierce Battle

With Reina's promise, Brulee and Brulee were overjoyed. The two sisters vowed once again that even if they found the whereabouts of the Big Mom Pirates, they would never betray the Whitebeard Pirates.

Reina smiled noncommittally, then continued watching the battle unfold before him.

Shanks truly lives up to his reputation as the youngest of the Four Emperors. His strength is unfathomable, especially his immense Conqueror's Haki, which even Reina has to acknowledge.

Furthermore, the officers of the Red-Haired Pirates are all seasoned veterans, seemingly even stronger than the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, the naval admirals were not to be underestimated, so the two sides fought quite fiercely.

However, in Reina's view, neither of them seemed to have shown their true abilities yet. Although the battle was very intense, the scale of the fight was relatively controlled, perhaps for the sake of avoiding friendly fire.

Otherwise, with Kizaru or Green Bull's strength, one powerful attack would cover the entire center stage.

On the Red-Haired Pirates' side, the surrounding civilians also prevented them from expanding the battlefield. Although those civilians had escaped Uta's control, they were still unconscious near the stands, and the Navy did not provide them with medical treatment. This was also the reason why the Red-Haired Pirates dared not go all out.

"First mate, who do you think will win this battle, the Navy or the Red-Haired Pirates?" Pudding asked curiously as she watched the two sides clashing.

"Hehe... They're not really going all out! If a real fight broke out, this island would be destroyed. But there are still too many civilians here, and a lot of ordinary Marine soldiers. If Green Bull were leading the charge, a fight might actually break out, but Kizaru wouldn't do that. So in most cases, the Marines will suffer greater losses, but the result is usually evenly matched!" Reina said with a light laugh.

"Huh? They seem to be fighting fiercely! Even Kizaru and the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates have made their moves, but they haven't really gone all out yet?" Pudding asked in surprise, looking at the center stage that was almost completely destroyed.

“Don’t underestimate the Navy. Although they may not be able to defeat pirates in small-scale battles, they rarely lose when high-ranking officers are involved!” Reina shook his head and replied.

Brulee and Brulee thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. The Navy's forces are usually scattered across the entire ocean. Pirate crews like theirs, who are considered Four Emperors, usually only encounter localized Navy forces. They rarely encounter large-scale Navy confrontations or battles with them, which gave them the impression that the Navy was very weak.

But if you think about it carefully, even their mother, the Yonko Big Mom, doesn't dare to be careless when facing the Navy, especially when it comes to news from the Navy Headquarters, she takes it very seriously.

If the Navy is considered a pirate crew, then they are definitely the number one pirate crew in the world. Even Reina wouldn't disagree with that, because the Navy's sphere of influence covers the entire world except for the New World!

Recently, after using extraterrestrial visitors to lure all the great pirates to the North Blue, he has also conquered most of the New World, which is inseparable from Sakazuki's personality.

As the Fleet Admiral, Sakazuki's personality determined the overall direction of the navy. Compared with the navy led by Sengoku, the current navy is more aggressive and acts in a more extreme way. This has many disadvantages, but it can make the previously somewhat weak navy shine again.

Meanwhile, the Straw Hat crew, along with Uta, were planning to leave, but the Navy wasn't going to let them off so easily. Although the Red-Haired Pirates were trying to stop them, the Navy still had the advantage in terms of manpower.

Luffy and his crew had no choice but to fight and retreat. Fortunately, their Sunny had not been docked at the port because of Uta. Otherwise, they would have been in serious trouble if they had gone to the port, as it had been completely occupied by the Navy and they would not have been able to set sail from there.

"Franky, you go to the Sunny and get ready to set sail. We'll take care of this!" Sanji kicked a Marine admiral away and then shouted to Franky.

Their ship was moored in a secret port that Uta had prepared for them. Although it was not far from the port, it should not have been discovered by the navy yet. As long as the Sunny was started, they could leave smoothly.

"Luffy, there are too many Marines, we can't waste time here!" Jinbe came to Luffy's side and said to him.

"What should we do then?" Luffy asked as he ran, carrying the frozen Uta on his back.

"Give me Uta, and I'll take her away first. You stay here and hold off the Marines to buy Franky some time!" Jinbe didn't waste any words and directly stated his plan!

"Okay!" Luffy handed the frozen Uta to Jinbe, then turned around and went to confront the pursuing Marines.

"Weather - Thunderclouds!"

"Splash splash ...

As the Straw Hat crew member most skilled in group battles, Nami can eliminate a large number of Marine soldiers with each attack. However, her close combat ability is too weak, so Sanji and Robin stay close to her so they can come to her aid at any time.

"Chopper, you go with Jinbe first. Uta might need your help. Although Uncle Reina has frozen Uta, I estimate that the ice won't last until the North Blue! Try to get some ice out!" Nami said to Chopper, who was not far away, while observing the situation on the field.

“Okay!” Chopper nodded without hesitation, went straight to meet up with Jinbe, and then rushed towards the location of the Sunny.

With Luffy joining the crew, the pressure on the Straw Hat crew was greatly reduced. Although Chopper, Franky, and Jinbe were missing, Luffy, who doesn't play by the rules, was obviously more suitable for this kind of chaotic battle.

"Black Serpent Tornado!" Zoro swung his sword with all his might, and a huge black tornado appeared, engulfing all the surrounding marines and instantly clearing a large area.

However, just as he was about to make another move, a naval admiral suddenly attacked him.

Finger gun!

"when!"

Zoro blocked the other's finger with his longsword and said with a light laugh, "Finally, someone who's even remotely presentable!"

Zoro prefers evenly matched battles to bullying ordinary marines, so he is even more excited and pleased by the appearance of marine admirals.

"Devil's Eye: Fall!" Beside Nami, Robin used the Sharingan's genjutsu for the first time. She realized that genjutsu could be incredibly powerful after experiencing Uta's abilities.

As Robin's Sharingan manifested, everyone who saw her eyes became stunned, dropped their weapons, and stood motionless.

"Don't look into her eyes, those are the eyes of a demon, the Sharingan! Just don't look into her eyes!" Upon noticing Robin's situation, an admiral who knew about the Sharingan immediately shouted a reminder to the Marine soldiers.

Chapter 1066 Return

While the battle raged on Music Island, Reina had already left with the sisters Brulee and Brin, because he realized that if the fighting continued, the Red-Haired Pirates and the Marines might really get into a fight, and the entire island might become a battlefield.

So Reina decided to evacuate the unfortunate civilians first.

The island's only port is currently controlled by the navy, and anyone wanting to leave must go through the port. A large number of ordinary people are being blocked at the port by the navy, who have not opened the port to these people in order not to let the pirates hiding among them escape.

However, with Reina's arrival, the navy responsible for defending the port was in trouble.

Reina didn't want to take action, but those guys didn't seem to want to communicate with him at all, so Reina had a proper talk about why Shirahoshi couldn't use the port.

The port, which had been attacked by Reina, immediately contacted Kizaru, who was at war with the Red-Haired Pirates. Upon hearing the news, Kizaru immediately felt a headache coming on. Now was not the time to fight Reina, so without hesitation, Kizaru ordered the port to be opened to the public, thus resolving the problem with Reina.

As the people boarded the ship and left in an orderly fashion, Reina raised his head slightly and looked in another direction. Jinbe was making a gesture of gratitude towards Reina, but Reina smiled slightly and did not respond.

The reason he caused a commotion at the port was mainly to cover the Straw Hat crew's retreat. Otherwise, if the Navy discovered them when they returned to the Sunny, it wouldn't be so easy for them to set sail again.

However, with Reina's help, at least the few who were the first to return to the Sunny have arrived safely, which means they have already succeeded halfway.

After rescuing the civilians, Reina took the Bryce sisters and left directly in the hard-shell vehicle.

Reina's departure reassured Kizaru and the others considerably. After all, with a legendary pirate lurking nearby, they were hesitant to engage the Red-Haired Pirates in a full-scale battle at this time.

With civilians gone, the Red-Haired Pirates had no more scruples, and at this point, the two sides could be said to have truly begun their war.

When they arrived in the North Blue, Reina learned about the battle on Music Island through the news. It was said that the Navy had won in the end, but Admiral Kizaru and Green Bull were both seriously injured, while the Red-Haired Pirates fled as a whole.

There was no news about Straw Hat and Uta in the news, it seems the World Government deliberately concealed the information.

However, quite a few people attended Uta's concert, and there was something really scary about it: anyone who heard Uta's singing through a video phone snail would be pulled into her musical world. This ability was indeed quite extraordinary.

Imagine if Uta worked for the World Government and her live concerts were broadcast worldwide. Without knowing her abilities, many people would likely tune in. If pirates then entered Uta's world, wouldn't the World Government be able to eliminate whomever they wanted?

Even without the support of the Mushroom of Insomnia, and even if the effect is not as strong if you listen to the video, Robin's Sharingan might be able to withstand it.

However, not everyone has the Sharingan, and the Sharingan can only ensure that one is not bound by the music world, but it cannot break through Uta's music world.

If Reina could still use his Sharingan, he might be able to break through, but now that Reina can't use his Sharingan, Uta's abilities are somewhat overpowered.

This is also why Reina was struggling with the decision on the way back: whether or not to save Uta.

If we ignore Uta's fate, the Song-Song Fruit might be reborn at any time. If some lucky Marine or World Government gets their hands on it, things could get really messy.

Furthermore, Reina believed that given the sheer size of the World Government and the Navy, if they were determined to find a fruit, they would most likely obtain it.

However, if Reina saves Uta, then he only needs to be careful of Uta. At least now he has a target, which is the World Government or the Navy. They don't even have a target.

So after negotiating with Whitebeard, Reina contacted Reiju and explained Uta's situation. Reiju said that her ability could indeed absorb most of the toxins, but whether she could cure Uta would depend on seeing him in person, because she had never encountered something like the Sleepless Mushroom before, so she couldn't guarantee 100%.

Therefore, Reina had no choice but to tell Reiju not to go to the front line for the time being, but to wait at the front-line camp. Uta is currently in the hands of the Straw Hat crew, and once the Straw Hats arrive in the North Blue, they will definitely go to the Whitebeard Pirates' front-line camp first, and then they will go to help Uta detoxify.

After returning to Crescent Moon Island, Reina went straight to Whitebeard, who had returned to recuperate, and told him in detail about what had happened in the South China Sea, especially about Uta's abilities.

"There is no invincible ability in this world. Every ability has its weaknesses. Without the support of the Sleepless Mushroom, Uta's world would only last for two or three days at most!" Whitebeard said with a light laugh. "And Sleepless Mushrooms are not so easy to find, let alone at the cost of one's life. No matter what Devil Fruit you have, or even if you don't have any Devil Fruit abilities, when you are willing to give your life for something, you can still unleash tremendous power!"

Whitebeard's words touched Reina. As expected of a great pirate who had roamed the seas for many years, Reina felt that there was still a gap between himself and Whitebeard. Although he may have surpassed Whitebeard in strength now, in some aspects, he still could not compare with Whitebeard.

"There's still no news about the extraterrestrial visitors?" After discussing Uta, Reina inquired about the situation in the North Sea.

"No, we also launched a few probing attacks, but the Destroyer of Kings didn't show up. The Navy and the Revolutionary Army even captured one of their islands, but the Destroyer of Kings still didn't appear. Only the Title Holders were busy putting out fires!" Whitebeard shook his head and said with a smile, "Recently, Marco and the others seem to be planning an attack. Last time, many captains obtained the power of luck, and their strength increased considerably, which made the other kids extremely envious! Gurarara..."

“If they want to, they can organize an attack, but they should be prepared to retreat at any time. After all, we don’t know what the situation is like with the extraterrestrial visitors!” Reina replied after thinking for a moment.

"I'll leave this to you. I need to rest on Xuan Yue Island for a while!" Whitebeard said to Reina upon hearing this.

Reina knew why Whitebeard had returned—wasn't it because he missed Marco's children? The older Whitebeard got, the more he valued family ties. As the only second-generation member of the Whitebeard Pirates on Crescent Moon Island, Marco's children were highly valued by Whitebeard, even more so than Marco himself.

Chapter 1067 Reiju's Intentions

After Whitebeard returned to Crescent Moon Island, he didn't plan to deal with the frontline matters for the time being. Fortunately, Reina returned, so he handed these matters over to Reina.

After resting on Crescent Island, Reina went to the front-line base alone, while the sisters Bry and Bling stayed on Crescent Island to assist Frank in managing the intelligence department.

With Reina's promise, they openly dispatched personnel to investigate Big Mom's disappearance in the areas they suspected, and also provided the Whitebeard Pirates' intelligence personnel with some of Big Mom's crew's communication codes and signals.

This gives them a greater chance of success when they are looking.

Frank had already been informed by Reiner, so he didn't interfere in these matters. Moreover, the Brulee and Brin sisters had reported to him before the operation and even went to see Whitebeard to express their thoughts.

For Whitebeard, everyone who joined the Whitebeard Pirates was like his child, so he readily agreed to Brulee and Pudding's request, which moved the two sisters to tears. Their mother would never have agreed to such a thing.

When Reina arrived at the front-line base, Reiju came to find him immediately. The Straw Hat crew hadn't arrived yet, so Reiju wanted to ask Reina if the Straw Hat crew would have to pay any price for treating Uta.

“Even disregarding Robin and Luffy’s status, Sanji is still your brother! Even without my consent, there’s no need to trade with them for ordinary matters. Our Whitebeard Pirates aren’t the kind of crew that doesn’t care about human feelings!” Reina said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

Reiju smiled and nodded to indicate that she understood.

As a member of the Vinsmoke family, although she believed Reina was right, they were not in charge now. As a force under Whitebeard, she wouldn't act recklessly without the approval of the core members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Reina naturally understood Reiju's meaning, so he spoke frankly and directly.

"How have things been going on the front lines lately? I've heard a lot of good things about you from the captains. They say your Germa Group truly lives up to its reputation as a war-fighting group; you've played a significant role in these kinds of battles!" Reina asked with a smile.

“Our Germa Corporation only relies on those clones. When it comes to war, the Navy is the real power!” Reiju shook her head and replied, “However, our clones are just what we need to deal with extraterrestrial visitors. The extraterrestrial visitors are not afraid of death, and neither are the clones. It’s just that the resource consumption is quite high!”

"It's alright. Just contact Frank if you need any resources, and he can allocate them for you. I trust he won't make things difficult for you in this regard!" Reina said softly. "But after you clones kill the extraterrestrial visitors, can you also obtain the power of destiny?"

Reiju sighed and said, "We've also tested this. Although it's rare for clones to kill extraterrestrial visitors, some are lucky enough to succeed. However, they seem no different from ordinary clones. We even gathered up the clones who had killed extraterrestrial visitors, intending to train them properly, but... after observing them for a long time, they showed no difference. So now, apart from a few clones who have killed extraterrestrial visitors in the lab, we've used up the rest of our clones normally!"

"I see~ It is indeed a bit of a pity, but with the help of your clones, our losses have been greatly reduced, and it's much easier to kill those ordinary extraterrestrial visitors on the battlefield! You should know that many of our captains killed strong individuals of the same level last time and gained considerable strength! How were your gains? If you need anything, just tell me or Marco. With your contributions to the pirate crew, it's enough for the captains to assist you in hunting down some extraterrestrial visitors of the same level!"

Upon hearing this, Reina spoke directly.

"Thank you for your concern, First Mate. Ichi and Yonji have killed quite a few extraterrestrial visitors before, but they haven't changed much. Perhaps... it's related to our physique. So we should be like the clones, unable to fully absorb the power of destiny!" Reina shook his head and replied.

“I see~ Then pay more attention to see if there are any changes in their personalities. Although I don’t know what Judge did to you, I know that you seem to have some flaws in your emotions and personalities. Maybe the power of destiny can help you improve!” Reina said, stroking his chin after thinking for a moment.
