Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Upon hearing that their father was surrounded, the surrounding crew members immediately roared menacingly.

"Shut the hell up! This isn't the time to make a scene. Marco's already gone. He'll handle things. Don't you guys even have that much trust in Marco? I went through so much to get you out of here, and now I'm taking you back to your deaths? That's not saving our brother, that's killing him!"

With Big Brother's strength, who can stop him from leaving if he wants to? He's just worried that we haven't evacuated yet! Notify Sky Island to concentrate all the artillery and fire at the naval warships over there. If they can't sink those warships, I'll come back and kill them!

Also, Vista, you'll be in command here in my place. No one is allowed to disembark without permission, including you! If things go wrong, I'll allow you to lead everyone to abandon ship and head to the Sky Island! Remember, people are the most important thing!

Reina bit his finger, thought for a moment, and then shouted loudly.

“Reina, I’ll go with you. My defense is stronger than yours!” Joz knew that Reina was letting Vista take command because he wanted Joz to go and rescue his father, so he spoke up directly.

"What I just said didn't matter? You all better stay here quietly, or you'll be in big trouble when I get back!" Reina glared at Joz and said fiercely.

After saying that, without waiting for the others to speak, he jumped off the ship and used Moonwalk to reach the island.

Seeing Reina leave, Vista reluctantly took over command of the ship and canceled the previous plan to attack the naval warship, because Reina had made it clear that this mission was handed over to Sky Island.

Clearly, Reina intended to teach the Navy a lesson, even if it meant exposing Skypiea. So all he could do now was maintain contact with Skypiea and have his pirate ship patrol nearby, ready to pick up Whitebeard, Reina, and Marco as they returned.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Soon, the sound of cannons firing echoed through the sky like thunder, followed by explosions from the coast. Vista knew that the Sky Island had begun its attack.

Chapter 84 Trial Card

In the middle of the nameless island, Marco and Whitebeard stood back to back, surrounded by the Navy.

Suddenly, some strange noises came from the sky. The sharp-eyed navy noticed that shells were falling from the sky and heading straight for their warships.

"Boom boom boom..." Shells falling from the sky hit the warships docked at the shore. Although only one or two shells hit the warships accurately, they still caused great damage to the warships.

"Gurararara..." Whitebeard immediately recognized that the Sky Island had fired its cannons. He laughed and swung his naginata. Many marines were caught off guard and were sent flying by Whitebeard's attack.

"Dad!" Marco naturally knew what had just happened, so he looked at Whitebeard with some unease.

"Yes! Let's break through first!" Whitebeard understood Marco's concerns; if Skypiea were exposed, it would cause them a lot of trouble.

However, the surrounding navy seemed unaware of the origin of these cannons, so they were somewhat suspicious. It's unlikely that anyone would suspect the existence of Sky Island in the short term, but they would need to be more cautious about its use in the future.

"Freeze for a Thousand Miles!" Reina, dressed in his combat suit, had been hiding nearby. He was waiting for the moment when the Navy would cause a disturbance, so the instant Whitebeard made his move, he followed suit.

"Damn it! Stop them!" Although Sengoku was also worried about the situation on the warships, Whitebeard was the most important thing right now, so he immediately activated his Buddha Mode and planned to stop Whitebeard.

"Big brother, Marco, you go first!" Reina waved the Hyōrinmaru in his hand continuously, successfully reuniting with Whitebeard. Seeing Sengoku charging over, he immediately shouted.

"Hmph! I haven't reached that point yet!" Whitebeard didn't leave, but turned around and punched Sengoku.

"Crackling sound..."

"Boom~~"

"Boom boom boom~~~"

Whitebeard's fist seemed to shatter space, but Sengoku's shockwave seemed unaffected, flying directly towards Whitebeard. However, just as it was about to hit Whitebeard, Whitebeard swung his naginata, colliding with Sengoku's shockwave.

The clash of their moves stirred up a powerful gust of air, forcing Reina and Marco, who were standing right next to them, to use their hands to shield themselves from the dust kicked up by the powerful gust.

"Newgate, you can't escape!" Sengoku said in a deep voice after separating from Whitebeard.

"Is that so? You can try again!" Whitebeard stood in front of Reina and Marco, smiling as he spoke.

"All forces... attack!" Sengoku waved his hand, and all the navy launched another attack on the three of them.

The three fought and retreated, but were quickly surrounded again.

"Hoo~" Reina took a deep breath and said to Whitebeard, "Big brother, can I take care of things here later?"

Whitebeard gave Reina a deep look. Although he didn't know what Reina was planning to do, it was obvious that Reina was preparing to use some powerful move.

"If it's too much to ask, then don't worry. This little thing is no problem for your older brother!" Whitebeard looked up at Sengoku and said softly.

So far, the weaknesses of the Whitebeard Pirates have been fully exposed. The difference in strength between Whitebeard and the other members is too great. In fact, no one, including Reina, can keep up with Whitebeard's pace.

This was precisely what the Warring States period had anticipated when they set the trap.

If Whitebeard hadn't made the decisive move to have Reina lead the crew to retreat, the Whitebeard Pirates would probably have been wiped out by Sengoku today.

"Don't worry, big brother, you have to give us some opportunities to fight against strong opponents! If you do it all, we won't grow stronger!" Reina said with a smile.

"Gurararara... Since that's the case, then go ahead and cause all sorts of trouble!" Whitebeard laughed loudly upon hearing this.

So far, neither he nor Sengoku has used their true strength because this battle is not just between the two of them. If the two of them really fought, all the ordinary marines and crew members would probably die on this small island. Therefore, both of them have suppressed their power.

Reina took a card from his inventory. The front of the card showed the Hyōrinmaru in his hand, but the Hyōrinmaru looked different. A chain extended from the end of the blade, with a crescent-shaped blade at the end. Behind the Hyōrinmaru was a giant, ice-blue dragon with eyes like rubies, giving it a somewhat sinister look.

As for the back of the card, there is a passage written on it:

"Hyōrinmaru Shikai Experience Card: Consumes all of the host's current energy and stamina in exchange for ten minutes of Hyōrinmaru Shikai! To use, place the card between your eyebrows."

This was the only card he had, which he got from the full attendance reward pack from the previous month, and he had kept it without using it.

Marco and Whitebeard, who were standing nearby, didn't know what Reina was going to do, but when they saw Reina place the card that had just appeared in his hand on his forehead, the card miraculously disappeared, and a huge change occurred in Reina, with a powerful aura bursting out from his body.

"Huh? Everyone, watch out!" Sengoku, who had been observing the situation, shouted loudly upon seeing Reina's outburst.

"Phew! Now... the moment to witness a miracle..." Reina's lips curled slightly, and with a leap, he jumped directly into the air, shouting loudly, "Seated atop the Frosty Heaven! Hyōrinmaru!"

Feeling the power of Hyōrinmaru in his hand, Reina swung his sword, and a slender ice dragon appeared, heading straight for the surrounding marines.

Ah~~~~~

"What...what is this?"

After attacking the navy, the ice dragon turned into water. The soldiers, who thought they would be killed, found that apart from getting wet, they were not harmed.

But just as they were about to laugh at Reina, they were horrified to discover that wherever the water had touched, it was starting to freeze.

"What kind of strange ability is this?" Sengoku asked with some surprise as he watched the changes in the arena.

However, Reina had no time to pay attention to Sengoku at this moment. Holding Hyōrinmaru after its Shikai, he began to swing his sword continuously, and soon the center of the island seemed to be frozen.

"Damn it, stop right now!" Sengoku was radiating golden light as he struck out at Reina with a palm.

Without further ado, Reina slashed at Sengoku, sending a giant, ice-blue dragon flying towards him.

With a single palm strike, Sengoku shattered Reina's ice dragon, sending it flying into sprays of water. However, when the water splashed onto the ground or the naval soldiers, it turned back into ice.

"Gurararara... Sengoku, your opponent is me!" Before Sengoku could get close to Reina, Whitebeard, wielding a naginata, clashed with Sengoku in mid-air. This time, neither of them seemed to hold back. After the collision, a violent heat wave of energy destroyed the bodies of many Marine soldiers who had already been turned into ice sculptures.

"Lord Sengoku, is there any need to continue?" Reina asked, stepping back behind Whitebeard and looking at the furious Sengoku.

Sengoku glanced at the naval soldiers around him, now frozen in ice, and remained silent.

Seeing this, Whitebeard didn't let Reyner continue speaking, and the three of them turned and left.

As expected, Sengoku did not pursue them, but instead ordered his men to treat the wounded and try to thaw the frozen soldiers.

Reina, who was running towards the pirate ship, suddenly stumbled and almost fell, but Whitebeard reacted quickly and grabbed him.

"Reina? How are you? Are you alright?" Marco asked worriedly.

Reina's dominance just now was incredibly cool, but I never expected his aura to suddenly disappear.

"It's nothing, I'm just exhausted!" Reina said with a wry smile as Whitebeard carried him on his shoulder.

"You brat, where did you learn that? Most of these techniques that forcibly enhance one's strength have severe side effects, and many can only be performed at the cost of one's life force!" Whitebeard asked Reina as he ran.

"Don't worry, brother. You probably saw it just now. I used a prop, so it didn't damage my life force. The only consequence was exhaustion. Otherwise, do you think I would dare to use it?" Reina said with a smile.

"Yes, be more careful when using it in the future, otherwise you'll lose the ability to fight back before you even eliminate the enemy!"

"If it weren't for my older brother being here today, I wouldn't have used it! I just wanted to give it a try."

Soon, the three returned to the pirate ship. Seeing that none of them were injured, the crew cheered and immediately turned the ship around and left.

"Was that artillery fired from the Sky Island?" Marco asked, sitting down next to Reina, who was wrapped up like a mummy.

Reina turned his head away without even looking at Marco and said, "Well, don't worry, the Navy probably won't think about Sky Island for the time being. They'll just assume it's some new capability of ours."

He originally didn't want to pay any attention to Marco, because his current state was Marco's doing. He wasn't injured at all, just exhausted. But the other party didn't care and bandaged him up like this.

"It's good that you're aware of this! If the existence of Sky Island is exposed, the trouble we'll face will definitely be significant!" Marco said seriously.

A movable sky island—such a treasure would definitely arouse everyone's envy, and the Whitebeard Pirates would definitely become the target of everyone's hatred.

Just as the Whitebeard Pirates were escaping the Navy's trap, on a small island in the North Blue, a blond boy with red glasses was pointing a pistol at a middle-aged man, who was holding an even smaller child in his arms.

"Why... take away my power as well?" The child holding the pistol said to the middle-aged man, "Well, there's no going back now. I'll use your head as a bargaining chip to return to the Holy Land!"

"Doflamingo, Rosinante..." The middle-aged man didn't say anything, but just called out the names of his two children.

So, amidst his brother Rosinante's cries, Doflamingo shot and killed his father.

The person who supported him was Trebol, who would later become a high-ranking member of the Donquixote Family and the user of the Sticky Sticky Fruit.

However, when Doflamingo returned to Mary Geoise with his father's head, the Celestial Dragons refused to accept him again as a "traitorous clan." Enraged, Doflamingo left his homeland once more, vowing to destroy the world dominated by the Celestial Dragons.

After returning to the North Sea, with the help of Torrepol and others, he established the Don Quixote family and officially began his new life.

Chapter 85 The Legendary Treasure Map

"Hey~~ Reina! Are you sure this treasure map is real?" Laco asked mysteriously when he found Reina, who was exercising.

"What's wrong?" Reina asked, puzzled.

After encountering the Navy, Reina was too exhausted to do many tasks, so he picked out a treasure map and gave it to the navigator, asking Whitebeard to lead the pirate crew to find the treasure so that he could start his treasure hunt.

"No... I just want to ask, do you really have the ability to identify treasure maps?" Lakyo asked curiously.

You can't blame him. As long as Reina has looked at and confirmed the treasure map, there will almost always be something to gain. The only difference is the size of the gain.

Therefore, everyone is saying that Reina has the ability to identify treasure maps.

In fact, Reina was just using the system, since the treasure map that the system could display must be real.

"What's wrong? Do you have a treasure map that you need me to identify?" Reina asked instinctively, looking at the curious Lacjo.

Laco immediately covered Reina's mouth, carefully took out a treasure map from his pocket, and said, "This is it, don't let anyone find out!"

Reina was puzzled. What exactly was it that Lacourrell was keeping so secret, trying to prevent anyone from finding out?

But when Reina's gaze fell upon the treasure map that he had handed over, he was stunned.
