Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"So didn't we suspect before that the powerful extraterrestrial visitor had returned?" Sanji asked Robin, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

They've already discussed this matter; there's no need to bring it up now!

"That's not actually the case! Just now, Nami and the others also received the news that the Whitebeard Pirates launched an attack on the extraterrestrial visitors, but they still failed! However, my father told me the details. The reason they failed was because a new Venerable appeared on the enemy's side!" Robin said with a smile.

"A new Venerable One?"

Robin's words immediately drew everyone's attention, and Zoro even felt a surge of fighting spirit.

“That’s right! A new Venerable!” Robin nodded and said, “This new Venerable is called the Master Venerable. He is good at defense, but in the battle with my father, he once shattered the entire coastline with a single punch! So don’t underestimate him just because he is good at defense. The fact that he was able to injure the three commanders of the Revolutionary Army all by himself speaks volumes about his strength!”

"So? When are we going to make our move?" Zoro asked impatiently.

“This time, I’m joining forces with the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army. Their forces haven’t changed, except they’ve gained a Venerable-level expert. So, our combined forces are more than enough! That’s why my father’s idea is… for all three of us to attack simultaneously. No matter where the Venerable appears, we should immediately gather our experts via the teleporter and try to take this opportunity to capture him!” Robin said softly.

Luffy, Zoro, and the others nodded in unison, expressing their fighting spirit.

"Taking down a Venerable One? That's exhilarating!" Zoro licked his lips and said.

"To ensure the success of this operation, each of our three factions will send two people to deal with the Master! My father and Whitebeard himself will lead the Whitebeard Pirates! The Revolutionary Army will be led by their leader, Luffy's father Dragon, and their chief of staff, Luffy's brother Sabo! As for our side, it's up to Luffy to decide!" Robin finished speaking and looked directly at Luffy, seemingly waiting for his decision.

"Luffy, let me go with you!" Zoro stood up and said.

"You damn green-haired bastard, what right do you have to do this? I'm the one who's most suitable!" Sanji retorted defiantly.

Aside from those two, all the captains of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet also spoke up, hoping to join Luffy in this battle.

"Zoro and I will go!" Luffy surprisingly suggested.

Luffy's words made Zoro grin.

"Luffy..."

"Sanji...you have to stay and protect everyone!"

Sanji was about to say something when Luffy interrupted him.

"Sanji and Jinbe, you two stay here so Zoro and I can send the new ones to fight!" Luffy said with a smile. "Neither of us is good at commanding, so we'll leave things here to you!"

"No problem, leave it to me!" The person beside him nodded and said steadily.

Sanji was still unwilling, but since Luffy had said so, he didn't say anything more. However, when he saw Zoro's smug expression, he couldn't help but complain, "If it weren't for the fact that the moss-head really can't handle this kind of work, I wouldn't have agreed!"

As for Zoro, who had already gotten the answer he wanted, he naturally ignored Sanji's words.

Chapter 1145 Sending Troops

After the Straw Hat crew decided on the deployment, Robin spoke to Luffy again, saying, "Also, regarding the matter of the new Venerable One from outer space, my father wants Luffy to convey this to Shanks!"

"Huh?" Luffy was taken aback and asked curiously, "Is it because Uncle Reina can't contact Shanks? No problem, leave it to me! I'd be happy to help him!"

"Idiot!" Before Robin could speak, Nami punched Luffy on the head, saying with a hint of exasperation, "Are you an idiot? Such important information wouldn't just be given away by anyone. Reina asked you to pass it on to Shanks, which means he wanted you to sell this information to Shanks!"

Robin's face darkened as she looked at Nami, thinking, "So you're the one who's been misunderstanding!"

"What? Why would you sell it? He definitely won't buy it, right?" Luffy picked his nose and asked, puzzled, "Couldn't you just notify Shanks directly?"

"My father meant that we owe the Red-Haired Pirates a huge favor because of Uta, so he wants us to use this information to repay that favor!" Robin quickly explained.

Although Luffy still didn't understand the intricacies of the situation, he grasped the main point: he needed to tell Shanks about it.

"By the way, we can get Shanks and the others involved! Wouldn't we have a better chance of winning if they were there?" Luffy suddenly said to Nami as he picked up the Den Den Mushi.

Nami sighed and said, "What do you think? Otherwise, why would we be doing this?"

"That's awesome!" Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately dialed the Den Den Mushi.

Zoro, however, looked at Robin with some doubt and asked, "Is it really necessary to have so many people if it's just one Venerable One? Even the Whitebeard Pirates themselves should be able to handle him, right?"

Robin shook his head and replied, "Father's intention is not only to target the Supreme Being, but to continue to pressure the extraterrestrial visitors and force their powerful figures to appear! No matter what their powerful figures are doing right now, we cannot let them have their way!"

Sanji exhaled a smoke ring and said, "That makes sense. So this time, not only should we launch an attack on the enemy, but all forces must also reclaim the lost territory?"

“That’s right. The basic objective is for each participating force to capture at least one island. We won’t retreat unless the enemy’s powerful members appear! So… the teleporters must be ready. The Whitebeard Pirates’ science unit will assist us in quickly assembling the teleporters on the front lines. Then, no matter where the enemy’s powerful members appear, we can quickly go to their aid!” Robin nodded and said.

"It seems this is going to be a pretty big war! Shouldn't we notify the Navy to get involved? In large-scale wars, the Navy is still stronger!" Zoro asked in a deep voice.

He had thought there were too many people before, but after Robin finished speaking, he felt that there might not even be enough people!

"As for the Navy... Father didn't say. They've only just formed a new army, so they probably don't have much combat power yet!" Robin shook her head and replied.

They still habitually refer to the Coast Guard as the Navy. Only when everyone starts calling them the Coast Guard will they truly be separated from the Navy.

After receiving Luffy's information and invitation, Shanks immediately agreed. He believed that if the extraterrestrial visitors here were defeated, then the real extraterrestrial visitors on the moon might come here in person, and then they might be able to go to the moon.

As for the Coast Guard, Reina really didn't notify them. It's not that he looked down on their combat strength. Even though they are currently reorganizing their army, strongmen like Fujitora, Aokiji, and Garp are still the combat power they need.

The reason they weren't notified was because Reina was extremely unhappy. He had failed to extort the Navy, and although he had forced Sengoku and the others to separate from the Navy, he hadn't gained any substantial benefits.

That's why Reina was so unhappy and didn't inform Sengoku and the others.

He had no idea that the Warring States period also had its own plans.

While Reina and the others were negotiating, Sengoku had already contacted Shiki. After some haggling, Sengoku and Shiki reached an agreement: the Navy would pay 5 billion Berries after the war as payment for inviting Shiki to join the attack on the extraterrestrials.

"It seems that Shiki really didn't know about the extraterrestrial visitors. He actually dared to offer 10 billion Berries. He's really asking for the moon!" Tsuru, the strategist who had been listening to the negotiations between Sengoku and Shiki the whole time, said with a light laugh after Sengoku hung up the Den Den Mushi.

"Hehe... a mere fifty billion Berries. Let them attack the extraterrestrials before us. Even if they don't have a Venerable One in charge, we'll still make a huge profit!" Sengoku said with a loud laugh.

"Now we can issue the mobilization order and tell Garp and the others to get ready! Perhaps after the Master sees our attack, he will send your Golden Lion to block us with all his might, so this time we must go all out! Also, send people from the Chaos Lands to monitor the Golden Lion in case he doesn't send his troops on time!" Staff Officer Tsuru nodded and replied.

So, before Reina and his group, the combined forces of the Golden Lion and the Sea Guard launched an attack on the extraterrestrial visitors.

In Shiki the Golden Lion's view, the extraterrestrial visitor seemed to have reached a dead end, and all he had to do now was harvest the power of destiny.

In reality, he suffered from a lack of intelligence, and when he landed on the alien island again, he encountered a somewhat angry Master.

Because of the Whitebeard Pirates' ancient past, Shiki got away with it, and I didn't expect this guy to dare to come again this time!

Thus, a great battle broke out, completely stunning the Golden Lion people.

"Damn it, who is this guy?" Watching his subordinates being killed in large numbers, and even those perfect rare beasts becoming nothing more than oversized toys in the hands of the other party, the Golden Lion felt terrible.

Just as he suspected that Sengoku and his men were up to something and was planning to settle accounts with Sengoku when he got back, he discovered that his men had already been routed.

The time from the start of the war to the defeat was so fast that even the Golden Lion was starting to question his existence. Especially when he discovered that the Master had his eye on him, he knew that this time, he might not be able to leave easily.

While Shiki the Golden Lion was launching an attack on the extraterrestrial visitors, the Marines, led by Garp, were also attacking the visitors' island.

This time, the Navy's elite forces were deployed. In addition to Sengoku stationed at the front-line base and Staff Officer Tsuru stationed at the headquarters, Garp, Aokiji, and Fujitora also participated in the attack.

Chapter 1146 Fierce Battle

"What did you say? The Navy and Shiki have joined forces and already launched an attack?" When Reina learned that Sengoku and Shiki had joined forces to launch an attack on the extraterrestrial visitors, he was quite surprised.

"It seems we've all been fooled by Sengoku!" Lakyo said helplessly. "They were originally the North Sea Navy, and their organization and everything else were already set up. Apart from changing the name, nothing else has changed. They didn't need any preparation time at all. Given Sengoku and Garp's reputation in the Navy, it might just be a matter of mobilization!"

“They beat us to it. Send the word down, and we’ll send out our troops immediately. We’ll take this opportunity to corner the extraterrestrials!” Whitebeard said in a deep voice, his face darkening.

"Yes, Father!" The captains stood up and began to gather the troops.

"Big brother, I'll go contact the Revolutionary Army and the Straw Hat Pirates!" Reina nodded and headed towards the liaison room.

Fortunately, they had already reached an agreement and were just waiting to send troops tomorrow. Unexpectedly, the navy took action first, so they had no choice but to set off immediately.

The Revolutionary Army and the Straw Hat crew received Reiner's message and both said there was no problem. In fact, Dragon had just received the message and was just about to contact Whitebeard's side when he received Reiner's message. His opinion was the same as Whitebeard's: to send troops immediately and not delay!

As for Luffy and his crew, they also began to gather their forces and prepare to set off immediately after receiving the news.

However, while he was preparing, he also told the Red-Haired Pirates to let Shanks join them in the attack.

Suddenly, the entire North Sea seemed to be in turmoil. All the major forces in the North Sea seemed to have received the news at the same time. In the chaotic land, countless pirate crews set sail and headed towards the island controlled by the extraterrestrial visitors.

The Golden Lion, who was already in a state of defeat, suddenly discovered that the extraterrestrials' forces were decreasing significantly. He assumed that the attack from the Warring States period had caused the extraterrestrials to choose to retreat and defend, completely unaware that an unprecedented massive war had already begun in the North Sea.

"Admiral, what do we do now? Should we take advantage of the extraterrestrial visitors returning to reinforce us and retreat quickly? The rare beasts have already suffered heavy casualties, and the other pirates are either dead or have escaped. Our forces are severely depleted!" Indigo said to Golden Lion with a miserable expression.

"Retreat!!" The golden lion, his face covered in blood, gritted his teeth and looked at the Supreme Lord not far away, saying in a deep voice.

The Master did not pursue the retreating Golden Lion. If he hadn't been attacked from another direction, he would have definitely killed the Golden Lion here.

His purpose in coming here was merely to help the Venerable One stabilize the situation temporarily. Therefore, even though he knew that killing the Golden Lion would grant him a considerable amount of luck and power, he still did not choose to pursue him.

Firstly, he simply didn't have the time, and secondly, the Golden Lion was no weakling; killing him wouldn't be something that could be done in a short time.

On the other side, after landing on the island of the extraterrestrial visitors, Garp immediately discovered that the enemy's forces were indeed still at a normal number, so he immediately issued the order for a general offensive.

"Issou, Kuzan... You two rush in from the left and right, targeting their tents. Just charge straight in. Leave these small fry to me. If their reinforcements don't arrive immediately, you only have one task: to take their tents back for me!" At this moment, Garp was unaware that the World Government had already targeted Vegapunk, so he was still thinking of taking back a tent for Vegapunk to study.

"Understood!" Fujitora and Aokiji nodded, then set off simultaneously from their original positions, each leading a team, and charged into the depths of the island.

Seeing this, the visitors from outer space naturally wouldn't let them leave easily.

Although they didn't have enough top-tier experts, they had quite a few experts in the thirties, so they planned to overwhelm the enemy with numbers. But before they could surround Aokiji and Fujitora, a figure descended from the sky and punched the center of the extraterrestrial visitors' camp.

"You guys go first, leave this to me!" Garp, having taken off his outer clothes, looked quite imposing. His muscular physique, combined with his powerful Armament Haki, created an aura that inspired fear.

"As expected of Mr. Garp!" Aokiji smiled and praised him, then raised his hand to freeze the alien soldiers blocking his way.

"Let's finish our mission first!" Fujitora tapped his bamboo staff lightly, and soldiers from outer space fell one after another.

As the two sides came into contact, a great battle broke out. The extraterrestrial visitors seemed to have no regard for their lives, launching suicidal attacks on them relentlessly, leaving Aokiji and Fujitora unable to escape for a time.

"Are these guys... really that crazy?" Garp, who had been ganged up on by four level 30+ powerhouses, was shocked by the aura displayed by his enemies. They were clearly planning to use their lives to hold them back!

"It seems their reinforcements are on their way, so they're trying to hold us back. Mr. Ichisho, I'll create the conditions for you. Go to the tent first. As long as we destroy their teleporter, we'll have a great victory this time!" Aokiji looked around and then shouted to Fujitora, who was not far away.

"Okay!" Fujitora didn't stand on ceremony. He nodded in agreement, squatted down, and then jumped into the air.

"Ice block!" Upon seeing this, Aokiji used his ability to create a large ice block in mid-air for Fujitora to step on.

With a flick of his bamboo staff, Fujitora controlled the ice block, using it to carry him towards the depths of the island.

"Stop him!" The level 34 extraterrestrial powerhouse in charge of command shouted, pointing at Fujitora.

"boom!"

But before he could finish speaking, Garp punched him, sending him flying more than ten meters away.

"Idiot, you dare to give orders while working on the front lines? Are you afraid I won't know you're the commander?" Garp sneered, looking at the enemy who had been knocked away, and planned to go up and finish him off.

However, the powerful extraterrestrials around them also reacted and immediately went up to entangle Garp, not giving him time to continue attacking their commander.

The battle escalated from the very beginning, with both sides seemingly blinded by rage. Garp even managed to suppress multiple opponents while fighting alone, putting considerable pressure on the extraterrestrial visitors.
