Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Meanwhile, on the island in the extraterrestrial visitor center.

In the place illuminated by that pillar of light, the Venerable Extinction led a large group of powerful visitors from outer space, forming a huge circle of light according to their respective positions. The weakest among them were all level 40 title holders.

Within the halo were the powerful members of the previously missing Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates.

"Damn it... If you have the guts, let me out! What's the point of trapping us here?" The massive Kaido, now appearing quite weak, roared at his opponent.

Of everyone, only he still had the energy; the rest, including Bigom, were lying on the ground, barely alive and completely motionless.

Within the halo, the Venerable Extinction, who sat in the most important position, suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look in another direction.

"Extinction, just as you guessed, the original name has launched repeated attacks against us, seemingly realizing that our forces are insufficient!" A young man's figure slowly emerged and said to Venerable Extinction.

"Their move now is somewhat unexpected. We are about to succeed, so... if necessary, you can leave the energy channel and show yourself on the front line. This might buy us more time!" Venerable Extinction replied slowly.

"Impossible! My mission is to guard the energy channel; I cannot leave here!" The young man shook his head and said firmly.

“If that’s the case, then you will take my place and take charge of the formation! That’s why I brought them here in the first place. Otherwise, there would have been no need to choose this location, and we wouldn’t have lost those troops for nothing!” Venerable Extinction said.

"This..." The young man hesitated. Although this place could be considered his territory, if no strong person of the same level took over, all the things they had done before would be in vain once he left.

Bearing a heavy responsibility, he was reluctant to agree to the Venerable One's request, so he hesitated.

“Yu, if you can’t even agree to this, then how are we supposed to conquer this planet? You should know how many powerful beings they have. With just the two of us, we can’t expand our advantage. If the adults blame us, I will bear a lot of responsibility, but you won’t escape it either!” The Extinction Venerable seemed to see the other party’s hesitation and said calmly.

In the end, the young man called Yu agreed to the Venerable Extinction's request, saying, "Alright! I will go to the front lines and show myself, but if there is any disturbance here, I will definitely return immediately. So if we suffer a defeat, I will not take any responsibility!"

“Okay! But if everything is calm here, you must go all out on the front lines!” Venerable Extinction seemed to have anticipated this, and nodded in reply.

"Don't worry, since I've agreed, I definitely won't hold back! But you need to understand my position!" Yu replied calmly.

After speaking, Yu turned and left, while the Extinction Venerable looked at the people in the light circle who were already on the verge of death, and said softly, "Hopefully there's enough time, otherwise..."

On the other hand, after receiving news of the Whitebeard Pirates' agreement, the Navy and the Revolutionary Army were actively preparing for war. However, news soon spread that the Red-Haired Pirates had also successfully seized the island of the extraterrestrial visitors, which made the Navy and the Revolutionary Army begin to have doubts.

Chapter 1089 Reactions from All Parties

"The behavior of these extraterrestrial visitors lately is rather perplexing!" Zhan Guo said, frowning.

In Sengoku's office, Advisor Tsuru and Garp sat on a sofa.

“It is indeed a bit strange. Although there are often titled individuals appearing on the front lines, there is only one at most, which is incomparable to the previous lineup. Moreover, that Venerable Annihilator has not appeared for a long time!” Advisor He said softly, holding his teacup.

"Could it be that they don't have enough troops anymore? Or has something unexpected happened in their own world?" Garp asked with a curious look.

He prefers straightforward combat when it comes to strategy, but if you think he's just a reckless brute, you'll pay the price.

Sengoku and Advisor Tsuru exchanged a glance.

"Do you think it's feasible?" Sengoku asked softly.

"This is the best way right now, so there's no need to hesitate!" Staff Officer He nodded and replied.

Garp was completely baffled. What were these two doing? Were they plotting something right in front of him?

"What are you talking about?!" Garp finally couldn't help but ask.

Sengoku and Strategist He exchanged a smile and said, "Since the extraterrestrial visitors are in trouble now, why don't we take advantage of their misfortune?"

"You mean... launch an attack on the extraterrestrials now?" Garp frowned and asked, "Aren't we supposed to wait for information from Whitebeard?"

“There’s no need for that now. Let Aokiji take some men to probe first. If their counterattack isn’t too fierce, then you immediately take men to support them and take over another piece of their territory! Without territory, it won’t be so easy for them to retaliate in the future!” Sengoku shook his head and replied.

Garp looked at Staff Officer Tsuru and asked, "You agree too?"

"What are you worried about?" Staff Officer He seemed to notice that Garp had some concerns, so he asked with puzzlement.

“I don’t know, but I have a feeling this isn’t a good idea!” Karp sighed and said.

Upon hearing this, Staff Officer Tsuru thought about it carefully and then looked at Sengoku, saying, "Since Garp has this feeling, we'd better take it seriously!"

“War is no child’s play. You should understand the principle that speed is of the essence in war. If we wait until the extraterrestrials recover, it won’t be so easy for us to expand our gains!” Sengoku did not directly object, but said to Advisor Tsuru.

Last time, they defeated the extraterrestrial visitors and seized their territory, gaining considerable benefits. Many naval commanders clearly felt the changes in themselves. Therefore, if Sengoku wanted to strengthen the navy, launching a war against the extraterrestrial visitors was the best option.

If the war were to be stopped simply because of Garp's feeling, then Sengoku would not be persuaded.

Staff Officer Tsuru waved his hand with a smile and said, "Don't get excited, Sengoku! You should know Garp's strength now. Strong people often have some kind of telepathic connection to things related to themselves. In a sense, this is a warning. So we must be prepared to deal with it, instead of doing this unprepared!"

"For example... what if our guess is wrong? Do you have a plan? If Aokiji leads his men to attack the extraterrestrials, and the Venerable One comes to their aid, should we abandon Aokiji? Or do you have a backup plan?"

The words of the strategist calmed Sengoku down, and he began to think.

"Therefore, we must make thorough preparations! Even if our guess is wrong, it won't be a serious blow. But if our guess is right, then we should launch a general offensive immediately to eliminate the enemy and strengthen ourselves at the same time!" Staff Officer He continued to suggest.

Garp, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement with Chief of Staff Tsuru's opinion.

Sengoku was not one to act unilaterally, so he said, "In that case, let's summon our generals and begin a battle council!"

Staff Officer Crane and Garp both nodded in agreement. If they were to launch a general offensive, then everything had to be arranged, and holding a war council was essential.

Besides the Navy, the Revolutionary Army also seemed to have sensed something from the news of the Red-Haired Pirates' victory, and even accelerated the speed at which they were gathering their forces.

On Crescent Moon Island, as Marco and the others gradually recovered from their injuries, they were eager to head to the front lines.

They already knew the outcome of the last battle; basically, all the participating captains gained a lot of luck power. However, they were unable to participate due to injuries, so they were somewhat anxious.

Especially now that Reina is clearly making another big move, they won't miss out this time.

"Father...hug!" Just as Marco and the others were discussing whether to go directly to the front lines, his child came running over, asking for a hug.

Marco smiled happily, then picked up his son, kissed him, and said, "Have you been a good boy and listened to your mother today?"

"Yes! I'm a very good boy/girl. Can Father turn into a big bird and take me flying?"

Marco glanced somewhat awkwardly at his wife following behind his son, then smiled and said to the little guy, "Not now! I have something very important to do. How about Mom takes you to play instead?"

"Alright then!" Although the little guy was a bit disappointed, he didn't continue to pester Marco.

"Sorry!" Marco said softly as he handed the baby to his wife.

Nojiko rolled her eyes and said to Marco, "He's your son anyway, do whatever you want!"

Marco awkwardly touched his nose. He knew there were outsiders present, so Nojiko was giving him face; otherwise, she would have definitely taught him a lesson.

As Nuoqigao has said many times, don't take your son to fly to places that are too high. The child is too young and is very easy to catch a cold, and it is also not safe.

However, ever since the little guy rode on the giant bird that his father had transformed into, he has been extremely excited and has been fantasizing about his father taking him flying again. Marco could not refuse his son's request, so he had no choice but to secretly take the child flying again and again.

However, he also knew that it was Nuoqi Gao who would be exhausted after his child got sick, so he never dared to fly too high with his son.

After Nojiko left with the child, Frank said with a smile, "Captain Marco, why don't the other captains be interested in the front lines? You should stay on Crescent Moon Island! Your father has told you several times that you're leaving Nojiko alone on the island to take care of the child!"

“Now is not the time for me to rest. I’ve already sent people to the East Blue to pick up Bellemere and Ken. Nami is in the North Blue now, and I’m sure they’ll be very willing to come over. Then, both Nojiko and the children will be taken care of. I’m a grown man, and I’m really not good at taking care of children!” Marco shook his head and said with a wry smile.

Chapter 1090 Contact

"Reina... I can't go on, I need to rest. If I keep training, I'll definitely die!" Aiboita said to Reina, who was also training beside her, panting heavily.

As the captain of a pirate crew under Whitebeard, he had never participated in Reiner's grueling training; he had only heard about it.

But after he got involved, he realized that this was no way for a human being to live. Already obese, he suffered even more.

"You can't even handle this much training? When you get to the battlefield, try talking to the enemy and say you're tired. See if they'll let you off the hook!" Reina slowly walked up to Aboita and said softly.

Aiboita felt a pang of anxiety and quickly shut his mouth to continue training.

Reina won't talk much during training. Anyone who doesn't meet the requirements will be suppressed by force, and he will show absolutely no mercy.

"First mate..."

Just as Reina was helping the group finish the rest of the training, a pirate ran towards the training ground.

"What is it?" Reina stopped training and asked.

"Here's the thing, Lady Reiju sent word that the little girl's poison has been completely cleared!" the pirate said to Reina, panting heavily.

Reina's face lit up with joy, but then his smile faded as he addressed the captains and captains who were training: "You'll have to finish the rest of the training yourselves. If I find any of you slacking off or not finishing... you know the consequences!"

After uttering a threatening remark, Reina left and headed to the communications room.

"Reiju? This is Reina!" Upon arriving at the liaison room, Reina contacted Reiju directly.

"First mate, the poison in Uta's body has been cleared. Shall we send him back to the Red-Haired Pirates?" Reiju said weakly from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Thank you for your hard work. How is Uta doing?" Reina didn't answer directly, but asked instead.

“He’s still a bit weak, but I estimate he’ll be back to normal in two or three days!” Reiju replied with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll contact Shanks and have them send someone to pick up Uta! We don’t have enough people to take her back right now!” Reina nodded and said.

"First mate..." Reiju hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Uta... probably doesn't want to go back to the Red-Haired Pirates?"

"Huh? Did she say anything to you?" Reina asked in surprise.

“Yes, we’ve been talking during this time. She doesn’t know how to face Shanks, so she asked me if we could not send her to the Red-Haired Pirates!” Reiju nodded and said.

“But… if he doesn’t go to the Red-Haired Pirates, where will he go? To the Straw Hat Pirates? If he goes to the Straw Hat Pirates, I can contact Luffy!” Reina asked softly.

“This… she said she wants to go back to Music Island!” Reiju hesitated for a moment before replying.

“That’s impossible… She should know very well that once she’s exposed to the Navy, there’s no going back! She has no other choice but the Red-Haired Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates!” Reina shook his head, refusing. “If she doesn’t go to either the Red-Haired Pirates or the Straw Hat Pirates, then I can only contact Shanks and ask for his opinion! Unless Shanks agrees, I can’t just let her leave like this! Reiju, I know she’s pitiful, but she should understand Shanks’ predicament. I believe both Luffy and Shanks would be very willing to accept her!”

"I understand. I will relay the first mate's words to Uta and let her make her own decision!" Reiju nodded and said.

“Yes, I hope you can understand. If she were just an ordinary person, not Shanks’ daughter, and not a user of the Music-Music Fruit, then she could go wherever she wanted! But her identity dictates that she can’t live like an ordinary person,” Reina said to Reiju again.

Fearing that Reiju might secretly let Uta go, after hanging up with Reiju, she contacted Frank, asking him to keep an eye on Uta and to tell Marco to keep a close eye on her.

After contacting Frank, Reina contacted Shanks again and told him that Uta's poison had been cleared.

"That's so sentimental! I'll send someone over immediately to bring Uta over!" Shanks, who received Reina's message on the Den Den Mushi, seemed quite happy.

"Shanks, Uta's body needs another two or three days to recover. Your men can take Uta away, but there's something I need to make clear to you!" Reina said seriously, "When Reiju was treating Uta's poison, Uta expressed that he didn't want to join the Red-Haired Pirates, so..."

"What? She doesn't want to come here?" Shanks asked in surprise.

“Yes, so I gave her two choices: either I notify you and have you send someone to take her away, or I notify Luffy and have him send someone to take her to the Straw Hat crew’s territory!” Reina nodded and said, “If he chooses to go to Luffy’s place, then I will send someone to take her to Luffy’s territory!”

"This..." Shanks hesitated, clearly not expecting things to turn out this way, but he still expressed his gratitude to Reiner and the Whitebeard Pirates.

"I understand. I'll wait for your message before sending anyone over! Whatever choice Uta makes, I hope you'll let me know!"

“That’s for sure!” Reina nodded and said, “And I’ve also made preparations on Xuan Yue Island to prevent her from escaping, because she seems to really want to go back to Music Island!”
