Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

While Marco and the others were fighting hard, Sachi led his men toward the aliens' stronghold. They had already figured out the enemy's location during the previous battles, but due to the enemy's fierce resistance, they had not been able to reach that location.

All the enemies are now focused on attacking Marco and his group, which is why Sachi was able to sneak over so easily.

“Sachi, why don’t we just take out their stronghold? That way they won’t dare to ambush us like this again!” Namuel licked his lips and said.

“Don’t do anything rash. Our goal right now is to relieve the pressure on Marco and the others!” Sachi shook his head, rejecting Namur’s suggestion.

Even if they take the island, what then? If something happens to Marco and the other two, they won't be able to face their father and Reina. And even if they don't have to face them, they won't be able to live with themselves.

So after Sachi finished speaking, the others stopped talking and instead discussed how to attract the attention of the extraterrestrial visitors so that they would call back their troops, but not so that they would ask for help again.

"How about... we just charge in?" the tall, imposing captain of the 13th Division, Atmos, said in a deep voice.

“That won’t do. We’re not really going to fight. What if we rush in and then retreat? Wouldn’t that expose us?” Before Sachi could speak, Captain Fosa of the 15th Division shook his head and refused.

"Then... let's make some noise outside, let them know we're here, and then teach Taeny a lesson. Once we find their people coming back to reinforce, we'll retreat immediately?" Captain Kingdo of the Eleventh Division suggested.

Sachi didn't have a good solution for the time being, so he had to split his team into two groups. One group would lie in ambush here, while he would lead the rest of his men to attack from afar. Once they attracted the attention of the extraterrestrial visitors, the ambushing group would come out and attack. When the two groups joined forces, it should be quite effective.

After finalizing the plan, Sachi led his men back a short distance, then unleashed his full power, deliberately making a commotion, and charged towards the extraterrestrial visitors' stronghold.

The extraterrestrials patrolling around the stronghold immediately spotted them, and many more emerged from their tents. However, under the captains' sniping, the extraterrestrials were quickly routed.

Chapter 1075 Reina Arrives

With Sachi and his men's attack underway, the Barriers quickly received the news. After a moment's thought, they decided to send people back to provide support.

Since Marco and the others are currently holed up in a corner, their side has a lot more people, which is perfect for sending some back to provide support.

In his view, the Whitebeard Pirates' command center was trapped, and the pirates who attacked the base were probably just a small remnant force, because the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates was currently attacking his barrier head-on, trying to rescue their command center.

But before he could capture Marco and the others, the soldiers he had sent back to rescue them sent back a message requesting backup.

This annoyed the Barrier, because through the returning soldiers, he discovered that the attackers were all captains of the opposing force, definitely not just a small group of remnants. If left unchecked, the stronghold might really be threatened.

However, he also knew that this was the key point, so he made a bold decision to have the people at the base evacuate first and not fight the Whitebeard Pirates' captain. He would deal with things here first and then drive away those annoying flies.

After receiving the Barrier's orders, the personnel stationed at the outpost began packing up, and then the strongmen stationed there left with the equipment that could not be moved.

Their actions left Sachi, who was waiting for reinforcements from outer space, dumbfounded. He never expected that the extraterrestrials on this side would actually retreat.

"Sachi, what should we do? Should we give chase? They don't have many people, and they're protecting the teleporter. If we destroy the teleporter... they won't have any reinforcements. If Reina can get there in time, we might be able to wipe out all the extraterrestrials here!" Jingudo said excitedly to Sachi.

Sachi knew he had to make a decision now, whether it was to pursue the personnel stationed here or to go back and help.

“Sachi, as long as we can put enough pressure on them, the Barriers will definitely have to come back to help. Their retreat now proves that they are short-handed, which is a good opportunity for us!” Captain of the 14th Division, Spido Gil, said immediately.

"Alright! Let's give chase. Remember, our goal is to destroy the teleporter! Although they don't have many people left behind, they are all experts above level 30. Don't get entangled with them!" Sachi quickly made a decision. Even if they couldn't destroy the teleporter, as long as they put enough pressure on it, the extraterrestrials besieging Marco would surely have to come back to help.

With Sachi giving the order, the captains stopped staying behind and immediately began pursuing the evacuees from outer space, even threatening their teleportation equipment at one point.

"Jozu, how much longer can you hold on?" Marco, who was sitting cross-legged behind Jozu, asked weakly, despite his serious injuries.

He was the first to be ambushed by the enemy, and because he had to keep an eye on the situation, Marco was also the first to lose his fighting ability and was protected by Vista and Jozu.

Apart from him, almost everyone else was also injured. However, the three Vinsmoke brothers were truly born for war. Even in this situation, they were still able to exert their strength. If it weren't for the three brothers, Marco and the others would probably have collapsed from exhaustion by now.

After all, there are a large number of extraterrestrial visitors attacking them at any time, and they have no room to dodge when faced with the enemy's attack. They have no choice but to withstand it head-on and try to avoid vital points.

"Cough cough..." Before Jozu could answer, Vista was stabbed by the enemy's longsword and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Marco stepped forward and kicked the enemy away. At the same time, he used the Flame of Regeneration to heal Vista's wounds, at least ensuring that he would not bleed any further.

"Go and rest, leave this to me!" Marco escorted Vista back to safety behind him and took his place.

"boom!"

But just as Vista was being sent back by Marco, Yonji, who was standing next to him, was ambushed by the powerful extraterrestrial visitor and kicked away.

"Oh no! Jozu, you cover for him!" Seeing that Yonji was about to leave their post, Marco told Jozu to retreat a little, and then he transformed into a phoenix and flew towards Yonji who had been kicked away.

When Ichi saw Yuji being kicked away, his expression changed slightly, but he did not take any action and continued to defend against the enemy's attack.

However, when he saw Marco risk his life to save Yonji, Ichiji was still somewhat moved, though he didn't understand why.

Meanwhile, on the pirate ship, Laco, seeing that Marco and the others were about to give up, asked the pirate beside him, "Still no news from Reina? It's been over twenty minutes!"

"Captain Laco, we still haven't been able to contact Vice-Captain Reina, and the men we sent out haven't responded either!" The pirate wiped the sweat from his face and said somewhat reluctantly.

Everyone on their side was constantly attacking the barrier, and although it wasn't very effective, they hoped it could help in some way.

"Damn it, Marco and the others are about to collapse. What about Sachi? Any news?" Laqué asked, somewhat exasperated.

"No...there isn't one either!"

"Damn it! None of you know how to send a message back first?" Lakyo cursed as he continued to attack the barrier.

"Charge Up and Gravity Strike!"

Just then, Lakyo suddenly heard a familiar voice and saw a beam of light strike the barrier.

They had been attacking the unmoving barrier, but at this moment it began to shake.

"Reina!" Lacour exclaimed excitedly.

"It's the first mate!"

"Great! The first mate is here!"

"Hooray! I knew it, the first mate would make it!"

"That's good, those scumbags, it's time for them to pay the price!"

As the light faded, Reina's figure appeared in the air; the slash from just now was his.

With Reiner's appearance, the morale of the Whitebeard Pirates soared.

"Everyone, attack one point with me! Lacjo, mark the barrier!" Reina didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with everyone and shouted directly to Lacjo.

"Great!" Lakyo's eyes lit up, and he cut off a piece of his clothes, placing it directly on the barrier in front of him. He shouted, "Three seconds to charge! Everyone, attack this point!"

After saying that, Lakyo quickly retreated, and then, like everyone else, aimed at the spot where he had put his clothes.

"three"

"two"

"one!"

"attack!"

Countless attacks converged on a single point, and the seemingly unbreakable barrier began to shake violently.

Inside the barrier, the barrier user who was observing Marco and the others suddenly swayed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Reina!" Barrier looked up at Reina, who was floating in the air, his eyes filled with hatred.

"Great! Let's do it again!" Reina, who was looking down from above, saw that the group's attacks were having some effect, so he shouted loudly again.

When the crowd saw that the barrier, which had been ineffective no matter how they attacked it, was now showing signs of breaking, they all began to shout loudly.

"Three, two, one!"

"attack!"

Countless attacks converged once again, and this time, in addition to the barrier shaking violently, cracks appeared, greatly boosting everyone's confidence.

Chapter 1076 Ideas

Reina's sudden appearance gave Barrier a vague sense of unease, and coupled with the sneak attack on the stronghold behind him, he considered retreating. However, seeing that Marco and the others were about to be defeated by him, he was somewhat unwilling to retreat at this time.

However, the enemy had already found the barrier's weakness. They concentrated all their attacks into one point, making the barrier user feel that their barrier would be broken after only a few attacks.

So the moment Reina appeared, he felt that the operation was likely to fail, and he was already thinking of retreating. He just wanted to hold on a little longer and see if he could take down Marco and his men.

However, Reina's appearance gave Marco and his team hope, and Ichi and the others stopped thinking about breaking through and focused on defense.

Although Yonji and Vista were seriously injured, and Marco was almost unable to fight, there were still Jozu and the brothers Ichi and Yonji, so they could hold on a little longer.

"My lord, you must send reinforcements. The enemy has been targeting the teleporter. If the teleporter is destroyed, we will be isolated!" Just then, the Barrier received a message from the personnel stationed at the base. It seemed that the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates had shifted their focus to the teleporter.

Upon receiving the message, the Barrier was immediately alarmed. If the teleporter was destroyed, he would have to face Reina again. The fear of being killed by Reina last time struck him again, prompting him to decisively issue the order to retreat.

Seeing that the extraterrestrial visitors on the other side of the barrier had begun to retreat, Lakyo immediately had someone contact Sachi to tell him that they could retreat.

Reina, who was floating in the air, slowly descended and came to Laco's side, asking Laco about the situation.

After Laco explained the situation, Reina frowned and asked, "How many troops are left that can participate in the battle?"

“There are no statistics, but Marco and the others are definitely no longer able to fight. I don’t know the situation on Sachi’s side either, but the extraterrestrials’ retreat at this time is probably related to your arrival, so they certainly won’t be unscathed!” Laco seemed to understand Reina’s meaning, shook his head and said, “If we launch a pursuit, we probably won’t be able to take them down! Unless Sachi and the others destroy their teleporter!”

"That's a bit of a shame!" Reina sighed and said.

Reina didn't have high hopes for Sachi and his group destroying the enemy's teleporter. In every battle, the extraterrestrials would leave enough combat power to protect their base, so it would be very difficult to destroy their teleporter.

A moment later, before they could attack the barrier again, the barrier created by the Barrier Maker had already disappeared, and Marco and the others who were hiding next to the barrier collapsed to the ground.

Lakyo immediately arranged for people to go and treat the injured, while Reina headed towards the enemy's base. He needed to intimidate the Barriers and also to meet up with Sachi and the others.

Before long, Reina discovered Sachi and his group surrounded by extraterrestrial visitors. However, there weren't many strong individuals here, and even if Reina hadn't come, Sachi and his group could have easily broken through the encirclement with their strength.

These extraterrestrial visitors are here merely to buy time for the Barriers.

Reina's arrival relieved Sachi and the others, who were worried about being imprisoned by the Barriers, having witnessed firsthand how miserable Marco and the others had been.

After dispersing and eliminating the extraterrestrials surrounding Sachi and his group, Reina asked, "They've already retreated? They're even abandoning this island?"

“That’s probably impossible. They’re probably just finding a new location to set up their teleporters. Once the teleporters are up and running, we shouldn’t have a chance. Their reinforcements will arrive immediately!” Sachi shook his head and said.

“Let’s go back and discuss it with the doctor. We should also get some easy-to-install teleporters. Next time we attack, we can bring them over and install them immediately. If they reinforce their troops, we’ll reinforce our troops too. I don’t believe we can’t take down a small island,” Reina said somewhat displeased upon hearing this.

Sachi didn't care; whether or not they took the island was of little significance.

Aside from outsiders comparing them to the navy or the revolutionary army, it doesn't really have much impact on them.

After bringing Sachi and the others back to the ship and inquiring about Marco and the others' injuries, Reina ordered a return voyage.

Back at their front-line base, Bramank was already waiting for them at the port. He was astonished to see Marco, Vista, and the rest of the Vinsmoke family being carried back on stretchers.

"How did it come to this? I think their injuries are quite serious!" Bramank asked in surprise.

"We were outmaneuvered by extraterrestrials. After our entire force boarded the ship, they used their barrier ability to separate Marco and the others from us. If Reina hadn't arrived in time, they probably wouldn't have made it back alive!" Laco lamented.

"Hmph, we'll remember this grudge and get our revenge next time! It's good that you're back. My father was very worried. I'll let him know you're safe first!" Bramank said with a cold snort.
