Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Father, what brings you here? The first mate and the others just left. Should I contact them?" Speed ​​Gil, the captain of the 14th Division who was left behind, asked with a smile after greeting Whitebeard at the port.

"No need. There's a lot of construction going on at home right now, and I was too bored staying there, so I came here. How long have Reina and the others been gone? Have any intelligence reports come back from the front?" Whitebeard waved his hand and asked.

“They’ve only been gone a short while, and there’s been no news yet. I expect they’ll get back to us once they reach their target area!” Spido Kiel shook his head and replied.

"Okay! When you contact them, tell them I'm here, and if there are any problems, contact me immediately!" Whitebeard nodded as he walked towards the tavern at the base.

He's been stuck on Xuan Yue Island for the past two days, with no one to drink with, and he's really getting bored.

Normally, Joz would always be with him, but this time he went back in a hurry and went back alone, which is why things are like this.

However, it was only because Whitebeard was away that Reina was able to bring Jozu along. Otherwise, if Whitebeard were on the front lines, Jozu would definitely have stayed behind to accompany him.

While Whitebeard was away, Jozu took the opportunity to go to the front lines for some fun. Among all the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, Jozu absorbed the least amount of luck power, because he usually stayed by Whitebeard's side.

So whenever Jozu was able to go to the battlefield, Reina and the other captains would create opportunities for him to kill as many powerful extraterrestrials as possible.

Joz knew that everyone was taking care of him, so he always rushed to the front lines on the battlefield to clear the way for everyone.

“Bru bru bru…”

"Moshi moshi... This is Spido Gil!" Just as Spido Gil had settled Whitebeard in and was about to head back, he received a call request from Lakshmi.

"We have arrived at the designated position and are ready to launch the attack. Reina has sensed the situation on the island and has not detected any Venerable-level combat power so far!" Lakyo's voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

“Alright, then you guys be careful. By the way, now that your father is here, is there anything you want to say to him?” Spido Kiel said with a smile.

"Huh? What brings you here, Dad? Did you get things sorted out with Dr. Vegapunk?" Laco asked in surprise.

"Everything is going smoothly. Dr. Vegapunk is now one of ours!" Speed ​​Gil replied smugly. "Right now, there's a major overhaul on Crescent Moon Island. With Dr. Vegapunk joining us, our defense system has improved significantly. Also, the lab on the doctor's side needs to be expanded, so everyone on Crescent Moon Island is busy. My dad was bored over there and heard that he couldn't find anyone to drink with, so he simply came here. And here he is... he went straight to the tavern and is drinking with everyone there!"

"Hahahaha... I see. Alright then, you all stay home and wait to hear our good news!"

After Lakyo finished speaking, he hung up the Den Den Mushi and told everyone about it.

"Alright, with the captain in charge, we can feel more at ease. Pass the word down and prepare for the attack!" After receiving Laco's report, Reina immediately gave the order to prepare for the attack.

As for the extraterrestrial visitors, they had already sensed their presence before the Whitebeard Pirates' fleet arrived, so they were already on high alert near the island.

Although they are also skilled in naval warfare, they have too few warships, so they generally do not choose to fight against people from the Wano Country world at sea.

Especially when facing the navy, the power of naval warships on the high seas is no joke.

When the Whitebeard Pirates' whale ship approached the shore, it immediately launched a barrage of artillery fire to cover the combatants preparing to land. Reina and Marco even took to the air and fired a volley at the other side.

"Freeze a thousand miles!" Holding the Bankai form of Hyōrinmaru, Leona froze the sea on the shore, creating conditions for everyone to land.

Chapter 1136 Step by Step

"kill!"

"attack!"

Just after Reina used his ice to freeze the sea, the Whitebeard Pirates' combat members, led by their captains, immediately launched an attack.

"Don't fall behind! While the enemy has no strong members yet, men... go and harvest their luck power!" Upon seeing this, the captains roared and launched their attack.

In the Whitebeard Pirates, these pirate crews under Whitebeard's command were never cannon fodder. The captains and their combat crews were always at the forefront, while the pirate crews followed behind the captains and launched attacks simultaneously.

"Marco, you stay here and maintain contact with Laco and command the army. I'll go a little deeper and see if I can lure out their strongest members!" Seeing that the offensive was going well, Reina immediately had the idea of ​​continuing to advance.

"No!" Marco immediately stopped him. "Don't be too aggressive. Don't forget what Dad told us before he left. We should proceed steadily and cautiously. If the enemy has an ambush, we can retreat in time. Otherwise, if you get surrounded, we'll be in a dilemma!"

Reina sighed and could only nod in agreement.

If he were alone, he could charge around recklessly without any restraint, but in a war of this scale, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly at all, because in many wars, a very small decision can lead to the defeat of one side.

Therefore, Reina didn't dare to act recklessly and had no choice but to work with Marco to direct the pirates to slowly approach the front step by step.

Moreover, Reina soon discovered that the enemy's troop strength seemed to have remained unchanged, the same as before.

"What exactly is their situation now?" Marco, having noticed this as well, asked Reina with some confusion.

“What else could it be? There are only two possibilities: either it’s really the same as before, with their strongmen and troops being held back by something, and the Revolutionary Army was just unlucky to have their people come to boost their morale; or their strongmen have already been released, and all of this is just an illusion, a strategy to lure the enemy in!” Reina chuckled and said.

"Then which one do you think it is?" Marco asked, frowning.

“Why speculate? We’ve been advancing steadily, not giving them a chance to surround us. Even if we penetrate deep into the island, we can still retreat at any time. Their ambush is useless! That’s why we came here!” Reina replied, “Tell the brothers to be careful and not to be reckless!”

"Understood!" Upon hearing this, Marco flapped his wings and flew directly towards Laco, who was commanding the army below. Reina, on the other hand, surveyed the entire situation from the air, and was able to detect any reinforcements the enemy might send immediately.

With the entire Whitebeard Pirates crew having landed, the extraterrestrials could no longer hold the beach and had to retreat towards the center of the island. The first wave of enemy reinforcements also emerged from the depths of the island. Everything seemed the same as before, but Reina felt something was amiss, even if it was just his imagination.

"Laquero, I have a strange feeling that the other side might be up to something. Be careful not to get too scattered! Marco, go check the surroundings and remember not to stray too far from the main force!" Reina, who was floating in the air, immediately gave orders to Laquero and Marco.

"it is good!"

"no problem!"

After receiving Reina's orders, the two immediately began to carry them out.

"Fire Fist - Infernal Blaze!" Ace used his Logia-type ability to quickly divide the battlefield, creating an opportunity for the captains to kill opponents above level 30.

"Hahaha... Brothers, don't waste the opportunity Ace created, seize the power of destiny from them!"

"Kill them!"

"That felt so good!"

Following Ace's actions, the captains and crew members immediately led their subordinates to gang up on the lone enemy fighter.

As Reina watched the reinforcements from outer space approaching in the distance, he raised his Hyōrinmaru and unleashed a slash infused with icy energy, aiming directly at the enemy. However, the reinforcements seemed to consist of experts above level 30, so Reina quickly dodged and ran towards his lone comrades.

"Tch~ Having an internal network is impressive!" Reina curled his lip in disdain, feeling quite envious. The other party didn't need to communicate at all to see the entire battlefield. Everyone was each other's eyes, and everyone could go to where they were supposed to be.

This is also the strongest point of the extraterrestrial visitors. With the same number of troops, they simply cannot defeat the extraterrestrial visitors. If the other side had not lacked top-level combat power during this period, they would not have been able to reclaim lost territory one after another.

With the arrival of enemy reinforcements, Ace's advantage vanished instantly. However, Reina had not yet made a move. If Reina joined the battle, it would inevitably change the situation.

However, this was just a test of their opponent's strength, so Reina wasn't in a hurry to make a move. Otherwise, if the opponent had a top-tier expert coming to their aid, it would affect their retreat.

"Marco, Lacourrega, go all out!" Seeing that the time was almost right, Reina finally gave the order to launch a full-scale attack.

After receiving Reina's order, the captains no longer held back and began a full-scale attack.

The battle, which was initially evenly matched, began to tip in their favor as the captains exerted their strength.

On the other hand, after entering the North Blue region from the Calm Belt, Shiki's Flying Pirates raised their altitude and, using the cover of the clouds, flew towards the island occupied by the extraterrestrial visitors.

The route they chose was one that the Four Emperors' pirate crews and the Revolutionary Army had deliberately left unoccupied, a battlefield reserved for ordinary pirates and other forces.

To avoid trouble, the Golden Lion also chose this path.

Just as Reina launched his attack on the extraterrestrial visitors, the Golden Lion also found an island occupied by the extraterrestrial visitors and prepared to launch an attack.

However, because he was delayed on his way here, they only managed to reach the enemy's island area after Reina had already launched his attack.

“Kala-kala… We’ve arrived at our designated position. Should we send those ragtag pirates to attack first, or should we send our rare beasts to play with first?” Indigo asked with a light laugh as he approached Shiki.

Before arriving here, they made a special trip to the front-line island, where the chaos was comparable to that of the New World.

However, there were also many powerful individuals there, so Golden Lion chose to recruit some pirates there, the so-called "ragtag bunch" that Indigo mentioned.

"Hahahaha... If we don't make a move, those guys won't take it seriously. Let our precious beasts have some fun first, and airdrop those less-than-perfect cannon fodder directly onto the small island ahead. This will be our first stronghold in the North Sea!" the Golden Lion replied with a loud laugh.

“Understood, Admiral!” Indigo immediately understood Shiki’s meaning and responded with a smile.

Chapter 1137 Coincidence

After Shiki gave the order to attack, Indigo immediately threw the imperfect, crippled creatures off the island.

As for the extraterrestrial visitors below, this was the first time they had encountered air forces in this world, so they were unsure how to deal with them, especially when the other side seemed to have airdropped something over.

As countless rare beasts were released, Shiki controlled the island to begin its descent. Then, the pirates, who had been eagerly waiting, launched their attack immediately after all the rare beasts had been released.

Standing on the floating island, Shiki smiled slightly, then began to move the island to the sea. This was his future base in the North Sea, and he couldn't just drop the island itself as an airdrop, otherwise the island would be useless.

Once everything was ready, Shiki led his trusted men back to the alien visitor's island. However, the pirates he had recruited, along with the rare beasts that no one commanded, seemed to be no match for the alien visitor.

However, Shiki remained calm, looked at Indigo, and said, "It's time to get those guys moving too!"

“Yes, Admiral!” Indigo replied to the red gorilla Scaledo beside him, “Go, lead those tough guys into battle!”

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Orangutan Scaredo nodded, then stood up, pounded his chest with his arms, and began to roar.

As he roared, the small island that Shiki had been on began to tremble, and countless enormous beasts, comparable in size to dinosaurs and giants, appeared before everyone.

"Attack!" the red gorilla Scaredo roared, and the enormous rare beasts seemed to receive Li Mingliang's command, rushing towards the island of the extraterrestrial visitors.

"As expected of a legendary pirate, he can actually control such a powerful monster!" The surrounding pirates were all shocked by Shiki's methods.

They thought the rare beasts that had been airdropped earlier were already very powerful, but they never expected that Shiki would have such a backup plan.

"Attack! Don't underestimate Captain Shiki! He promised that once we take this island, we'll all be part of the Flying Pirates!" one of the captains shouted excitedly.

So the surrounding pirates joined the battle once again.

Just before the Golden Lion launched its attack, Reina encountered a problem.

"It seems that guy is the new Venerable One the Revolutionary Army has encountered!"

After the Whitebeard Pirates' commanders exerted their strength, the extraterrestrial visitors were once again at a disadvantage, and Reina then discovered that the enemy's reinforcements had reappeared.

Moreover, he also noticed with alarm that among the reinforcements that had appeared this time was a leader who, judging from his aura, should be a Venerable One.

"It seems the enemy isn't lying in ambush, but rather there's this guy around!" Marco returned to Reina's side after surveying the surroundings.

"That's probably it! Their strongest fighters are probably too busy to leave, so they sent a Venerable to stabilize the situation here!" Reina's eyes gleamed as he said, "Do you think we can keep him here now?"

Marco looked at Reina in surprise. With the opponent possessing Venerable-level combat power, it would be very difficult for them to even take over this small island, let alone capture the opponent's Venerable.

Furthermore, since Reina cannot use his Sharingan now, and the opponent's Venerable One's abilities are unknown, the chances of defeating him are extremely slim.

At this time, they were unaware that the Golden Lion had also launched an attack on the extraterrestrial visitors from another direction. Some of the enemy's reinforcements had been diverted, otherwise Marco might have actually been tempted.

Upon hearing this, Reina sighed. If Whitebeard had come with them this time, it might have been possible, but now, on his own, defeating the opponent was possible, but killing him was probably out of the question.

“Now that we’ve tested their strengths and weaknesses, let’s see if we can take this island. I’ll take over their leader. You and Lakyo will be in charge of commanding the battle. Be careful that they might send reinforcements. If the battle gets to a stalemate, retreat immediately. Don’t worry about me! I’ll retreat as soon as you’re done!” Reina said after thinking for a moment.

“Understood! You must also be careful. After all, the other party is a Venerable One. The Revolutionary Army suffered a great loss at his hands!” Marco nodded and gave him a word of advice.

"Don't worry, I'm just testing him out, seeing what his abilities are first," Reina said with a smile. "Who knows, maybe I can even counter his abilities!"
