Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Immediately, the other guests in the tavern chose to leave, after all, it would be troublesome if they got involved in such a thing.

Even the tavern owner and waiters hid themselves; at this point, their lives were the most important thing.

“Kid…say what you just said again!” A gang member, holding a gun to Reina’s temple, said with a hint of smugness.

"Hey...you guys must have made a mistake, right? I didn't say anything!" Reina raised his hands to show that he was completely innocent.

The gang member thought for a moment, realizing that Reina hadn't really said anything, then raised his pistol again at the crew members who had laughed earlier, and said, "Laugh! Go ahead and laugh again!"

"Alright, everyone... We've had our drinks and our fun, and I've bought the map and supplies. It's time for us to leave!" Reina ignored the gang members, slowly stood up, and put away his smile as he spoke.

Upon hearing Reina's words, Lacjo and the others also stood up and followed Reina away, ignoring the gang members the entire time.

"Bastards! How dare they ignore us!" After Reina and his crew left, the gang members seemed to wake up from a dream, extremely annoyed.

"Big brother, what... what just happened?" Another gang member was still confused, not knowing what had just happened.

"Idiots, those people are not to be trifled with. You were just intimidated by their aura, that's why you acted like this!" A figure whispered from a corner of the tavern.

"And who are you!" The gang leader turned around menacingly and looked toward the corner.

"Big brother...it's...it's him! That great pirate with a bounty of over 500 million...the Cone-shaped Green Pepper!" A henchman exclaimed, looking at the other man's signature cone-shaped head.

"I...I'm sorry!" The gang leader's legs trembled as he quickly bowed and apologized.

"Get out!" Green Pepper stepped out from the corner, slowly revealing her true form.

Upon hearing this, several gang members quickly ran out of the tavern.

"When did such a group of powerful people appear in the West Sea again? How strange! I hope they're not after our Flower Country, otherwise... Hmph!" Green Pepper muttered to himself as he looked in the direction Reina and the others had left.

After returning to the ship, Reina and the others did not linger there. They immediately set off towards Ohara, referring to the sea chart.

Their purpose in coming out this time was only to translate the text on the treasure map, and they did not intend to cause trouble. So, although the ship was flying the Whitebeard Pirates' flag, they did not make a big fuss along the way.

Even so, the fact that a pirate ship flying the Whitebeard Pirates flag appeared in the West Blue was quickly learned by the local navy, and the branch closest to Reina received orders to go and probe.

Soon, Rear Admiral Makek, the highest-ranking officer of the 23rd Naval Division, set sail with his warships.

"Major Admiral, based on our speculation, this pirate crew flying the Whitebeard Pirates' flag seems to be heading towards Ohara. If we proceed this way, we should be able to encounter them!" A major approached Make and reported.

“Very good, go directly to intercept them, and make sure they don’t escape!” Meck nodded and said seriously.

The major hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Sir, should we call for more backup? What if it really is the Whitebeard Pirates...?"

"No need, I've already confirmed with headquarters that the Whitebeard Pirates are still on the Grand Line! How could pirates of that caliber possibly come to the West Blue?" Make shook his head and said.

"Yes, sir!" The major breathed a slight sigh of relief and saluted in response.

So far, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Flying Pirates, and the Roger Pirates are known as the three giants of the pirate world. They all possess the strength to confront the Navy. Therefore, if it really is the Whitebeard Pirates, it would be an absolutely catastrophic blow to their West Blue Navy branch.

Chapter 87 Who is the imposter?

"Hey~ Reina, how much longer? I haven't seen the island all day!" Olga lay listlessly on the deck, groaning at Reina who was exercising.

Unlike the Grand Line, the islands in the West Blue are relatively densely packed. So when they passed a small island, they did not choose to dock, which is why Olga felt weak and listless.

“Go look at the map yourself! Why are you asking me?” Reina said without turning his head.

This isn't the Grand Line, so it's fine for ordinary crew members to operate pirate ships, so Reina simply stopped caring.

Not only him, but Joz, Lacjo, Hansen and the others were all like this, either sleeping somewhere or training like Reina.

"First mate... Navy sighted ahead!" Just then, the lookout on the mast suddenly shouted.

"Oh? The Navy?" The lookout's words jolted Laco, who was sleeping, awake. He sprang to his feet, grabbed the monoculars beside him, and looked ahead.

Hansen, who was maintaining the weapons, also stood up with a hint of excitement, seemingly thrilled by the news of the navy's arrival.

There's no way around it; after getting used to sailing the Grand Line, coming to the West Blue feels like a vacation. The sea here is calm and sunny, completely different from the Grand Line where things can change at any moment.

So after arriving here, they all became a bit lazy, but now that they hear that the navy is nearby, they're all as energetic as if they've been injected with chicken blood.

"Hey... don't go too far!" Reina gestured to the helmsman to keep going without changing course, and then ignored him. He hadn't even finished his work for the day! Who had time to deal with some small-time naval units?

Soon, the naval warships were visible to the naked eye, and they were within range of each other's cannons.

"Pirates ahead, stop immediately! This is the 23rd Division of the Navy. You are ordered to stop immediately!" A naval lieutenant commander shouted through a megaphone from the bow of the naval warship.

Over here, Laco and the others listened to the Navy's shouts, and they were all somewhat surprised and uncertain.

"Are they really from the Navy?" Hansen asked with some skepticism.

There's no way around it. On the Grand Line, pirates and marines fight as soon as they meet. Who the hell would shout like that?

"I think so... Navy warships are pretty easy to recognize!" Joz said somewhat uncertainly.

"Forget it, it's good that they don't fire. Speed ​​up and get right past them!" Lakyo waved his hand and said directly.

After all, apart from the main cannon, all the other cannons on this pirate ship had been dismantled by Reina and taken to the Sky Island.

"Huh? Stubborn to the end? Fire! Sink them!" Rear Admiral Make frowned as he saw the pirate ship accelerating toward him.

"Whoosh~~ Whoosh~~"

A few scattered cannonballs were fired at the pirate ship, which surprised Jozu and the others even more. This seemed to be different from the naval warships they had seen before!

In the Grand Line, the cannons of a single warship are enough to suppress most pirates. If there are two or three warships, their firepower can basically suppress the Moby Dick!

But the warships in front of us, let alone two or three, even ten, probably wouldn't be able to suppress the Moby Dick.

"Could we have actually encountered fake navy personnel?" Laco was a little confused about the situation.

"Hey... can you guys hurry up and take care of them already? It's so noisy!" Reina, who was exercising, was annoyed by the Navy's shells and shouted at Jozu and the others.

"No... that Reina! It seems we've encountered a fake navy!" Hansen shouted towards Reina.

"Huh? A fake Marine?" Reina, who was training, was a little confused. Who the hell had nothing better to do than pretend to be a Marine?

"That's right, look, when they saw us before, they didn't shoot immediately, but instead told us to surrender! Once they got closer, their firepower was nothing like that of a naval warship!" Hansen said seriously, pointing to the naval warship not far away.

Reina looked up at the huge "23" on the sail and a naval insignia that looked like a seagull. Then, looking at the size of the other ship, he immediately knew that it was a naval branch ship, not a ship from the headquarters on the other side of the Grand Line.

"Idiot, this is the West Sea, and the warships are all branch offices! They can't compare to the naval headquarters! Hurry up, after you've dealt with them, take all their stuff. We haven't had any business for days, just expenses and no income!" Reina tapped Hansen on the head and said impatiently.

After confirming with Reina that the other party was indeed the Navy, and since the Navy warship was already quite close, Jozu, Laco, and the others led their crew directly onto the Navy warship.

After a chaotic scene of men and horses falling over, the entire navy was wiped out, and the crew members happily carried the supplies from the warship.

"Damn it... who... who are you people?" Major General Meck lay on the deck of the warship, his whole body bound up like a dumpling.

"Who are we? Aren't we flying pirate flags? Don't you recognize us?" A passing crew member pointed to the Whitebeard pirate flag on the pirate ship and said with a smile.

"Impossible... Headquarters has confirmed that the Whitebeard Pirates are still on the Grand Line. You are just imposters!" Make shouted. He simply did not believe that these pirates were members of the Whitebeard Pirates, and he had never even seen Whitebeard himself.

He would definitely recognize a pirate as distinctive as Whitebeard when he saw him.

"Oh!"

"You still call us imposters? Can't you guys have some self-respect? You're a disgrace to the Navy! I thought we'd run into a fake Navy! It's so embarrassing!" Laco, who was passing by, punched Rear Admiral Make in the back of the head.

He was certain that if the few of them had doubts about the Navy, Reiner would spread the word throughout the entire Whitebeard Pirates as soon as they returned to the ship.

"Oh right, we also collected their clothes. If we have time after this is all done, let's go to the largest branch in the West Sea! We've already been to headquarters, it wouldn't be right not to go to the branch!" Reina sat on the ship's side, directing the crew to move all the navy's supplies away, leaving them nothing behind.

"Raina, will there be any problems? Aren't you going to leave them even a day's worth of rations?" Hansen asked, frowning.

In the past, whether it was a navy ship, a merchant ship, or a pirate ship, after being robbed, they would leave three days' worth of rations and let the robbed ship find its own way to seek help. Now they don't even leave one day's worth of rations, so it's better to just kill them.

"Idiot, this is the West Blue, not the Grand Line. The Navy's rescue force will be here very quickly!" Reina rolled his eyes and said.

"Re...Reina? Red-eyed Reina? The number two member of the Whitebeard Pirates, Red-eyed Reina with a bounty of 580 million?" Rear Admiral Make, lying on the ground, struggled to lift his head and looked at Reina sitting on the ship's side, asking incredulously.

Due to their superior strength, none of the Marines suffered much damage before being defeated. Even Rear Admiral Make was taken down by Jozu in a single round.

"Oh? You know me? What a pleasure! I didn't expect my name to have spread all the way to the West Sea. Hey you... this guy doesn't need to take off his clothes, leave them for him!" Reina said with a smile.

Rear Admiral Make's expression was quite bitter. It wasn't that Reiner's name had truly spread to the point where everyone in the West Blue knew him, but rather that because Reiner and his crew were flying the Whitebeard Pirates' flag, Rear Admiral Make had specifically looked at all of the Whitebeard Pirates' bounty posters before setting sail.

Not long after Reina and his group left, a naval warship arrived.

Upon seeing the naval soldiers stripped naked and bound like dumplings, the leading naval officer was immediately shocked and asked the only one still intact, Rear Admiral Meck, "Rear Admiral Meck, what happened? How did you get like this!"

"Something terrible has happened... That pirate ship flying the Whitebeard Pirates flag... It really is the Whitebeard Pirates!" Rear Admiral Make said solemnly.

"What? That's impossible! You should know that headquarters has already confirmed that the Whitebeard Pirates are still on the Grand Line, and they haven't come to the West Blue!" The Marine Admiral said in astonishment while directing his subordinates to rescue the bound Marines.

"Do you really think I would lie like that just because I was defeated? I heard the pirates calling the leader Reina! He must be the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Akame Reina! Although he didn't use that ability that turns his eyes red!"

"But their strength is undeniable, so what you should do now is... immediately notify headquarters and send reinforcements! Because... they seem to be planning to attack the West Sea naval branch!" Makek said in a deep voice.

"Understood. I'll report to headquarters immediately. Rear Admiral Meck, you return to base now. I'll continue tracking them!" The naval commander nodded, took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket, and reported the situation back.

Half a day later, at Marineford, Naval Headquarters, in the office of Admiral Kong.

"What? You mean Akame Reina led a group of Whitebeard Pirates to the West Blue? Their target is suspected to be the West Blue Marine branch?" Sora asked the communications officer in disbelief after receiving the report.

"Yes, Marshal, according to the news from the West Blue branch, they have already engaged the enemy. Rear Admiral Make was completely powerless to resist, and the enemy left after taking their naval uniforms and all their supplies. According to Rear Admiral Make, the leader is none other than Reina Akame, the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates!" the messenger, kneeling on the ground, replied.

"I understand!" Marshal Kong waved for the messenger to leave, then fell into deep thought.

A moment later, Sora picked up the Den Den Mushi on the table and said, "Go and tell Zephyr, the instructor at the recruit training camp, to come to my office!"

Soon, Zefa arrived at Marshal Kong's office.

After saluting Marshal Kong while wearing sunglasses, Zephyr sat down on the sofa next to him.

“Zefa…you…” Marshal Kong looked at Zefa, whose eyes had suddenly developed wrinkles, and for a moment he couldn’t bring himself to say what he wanted to say.

Since his family was attacked and killed by pirates, Zephyr's condition has been declining, both physically and mentally.

When Reina brought the box containing the pirate heads to Marine Headquarters, Zephyr was in good condition, but how long has it been? Wrinkles have appeared at the corners of his eyes, which is not the state a strong person should be in.

"Marshal...what brings you here?" Zefa looked at Marshal Kong, puzzled, and asked.

“Zeff… Here’s what happened! The vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Reina Akame, has suddenly appeared in the West Blue with a group of Whitebeard Pirates members. Their true intentions are unclear, but the Marines have learned that they plan to attack the West Blue branch! So I want you to go and take a look!” Fleet Admiral Kong said after hesitating for a moment.

"Me? Marshal, I'm just an instructor in the recruit camp right now!" Zefa replied calmly.

“I know, but Garp, Tsuru, and Sengoku all have missions to take care of, so after thinking it over, I think this mission is most suitable for you! And you can also consider it a test for your recruit camp!” Marshal Kong said after thinking for a moment.

"Oh? The Marshal means... that I should take the recruit camp over?" Zefa's eyes lit up as he asked.

The recruit camp is only the first batch, but it contains many trainees with great potential, among whom Sakazuki and Borsalino are the strongest!

Although both of them are ability users and are not liked by Zephyr, their strength is something even Zephyr has to acknowledge.
