Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

But soon, he discovered that Reina had disappeared.

"Oops!"

Without a second thought, the Flamebringer immediately decided to leave.

But before she could act, Reina had appeared beside her without her noticing, and the Hyōrinmaru in his hand was aimed directly at her head.

"Damn it, get out of my way!" The Flamebringer dared not be careless, and the flames on his body surged again, completely engulfing Reina in raging fire.

"You've got something!" Not far away, watching the Flamebringer devour his afterimage, Reina chuckled and swung the Hyōrinmaru in his hand again, sending countless ice pillars rushing towards the opponent.

"This level of technique is no match for me!" Upon seeing this, the Flamebringer gathered his flames into a ring, protecting himself and completely melting Reina's ice pillar.

"Is that so?" Reina chuckled, but did not continue his attack. Instead, he disappeared from the spot once again.

Seeing this, the Flamebringer's flames burned even more fiercely, and it looked around warily.

After a moment, still unable to find Reina, Lieyan seemed to realize something and looked in the direction of the Extinction Venerable, where he indeed saw a figure.

"Damn bastard, how dare you trick me!" Upon seeing this, the Flamebringer angrily transformed the flames around him into wings, intending to increase his speed in order to catch up with Reina.

But just as the flames around him disappeared, a cold light flashed, and Reina, wielding Hyōrinmaru, suddenly appeared and thrust directly at the Flamebringer.

"How is this possible?" The Flamebringer was shocked, but it was too late to avoid Reina's attack. He could only barely avoid a vital spot and was stabbed in the shoulder by Hyōrinmaru.

"Pfft!"

As Hyōrinmaru pierced the Flamebringer, countless streams of icy energy surged toward the Flamebringer's body.

"Damn it!" Although the Flamebringer retreated immediately, Reina had no intention of letting him go. While stirring the Hyōrinmaru in his hand, he also kicked the opponent in the abdomen with his right foot. If the Flamebringer was hit by this kick, even if he didn't die, he would probably lose most of his fighting ability.

Fortunately, the Flamebringer was no ordinary person. Despite the excruciating pain in his shoulder, the flames on his body exploded, blasting him away and stopping Reina's pursuit.

Because she knew that the opponent's target was the Venerable One, so they wouldn't get hurt in the battle with her.

As expected, upon seeing the Flamebringer self-destruct, Reina did not pursue him. Instead, he took a step and left in the direction of the Annihilator.

What he just used wasn't a clone technique, but Hyōrinmaru's technique "Ice Doll," which created a clone of himself using ice. Although it didn't last long, it could withstand a certain amount of attack, thus preventing his plan from failing due to the aftershocks of battle.

Upon seeing Reina leave, the Flamebringer dared not pursue him and could only inform the Extinction Venerable through the internal network that she was powerless to stop Reina.

Meanwhile, with the help of the Red-Haired Pirates and the Revolutionary Army, the Straw Hat crew gradually stabilized the situation, and the injured officers had time to receive treatment and rest.

The extraterrestrial visitors were all taken over by the arriving reinforcements, but they were still at a disadvantage in terms of troop strength. Only by defeating the enemy's strongmen as soon as possible could they turn the tide.

"Weiwei, how is the situation at the front?" The wounded Zoro, bandaged up like a mummy, is currently at the rear with Princess Weiwei, who is in command.

"Don't worry, everyone is safe now that reinforcements have arrived. However, we are still at a disadvantage in terms of the situation; the enemy has too many troops!" After a slight hesitation, he said, "If possible, we should retreat now!"

Upon hearing this, Zoro closed his eyes and remained silent.

The enemy reinforcements arrived too suddenly, catching them off guard; otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a passive position.

Zoro is extremely unwilling to accept this. The great battle he had been looking forward to had finally taken place, but he had already fallen.

Chapter 1153 Each Person's Schemes

"Pfft..."

Looking at Luffy, who had deactivated his Nika form and was lying on the ground, the Destroyer revealed a satisfied smile.

He knew that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, so he fought a desperate, wounded-for-wounds strategy and finally defeated them before Reina arrived. Now, as long as he killed this chosen one, the power of destiny he gained would be enough to make up for their losses.

But before he could get close to Luffy, a figure blocked his way.

"Yo~ Isn't this the Venerable Extinction? It's been a long time! What a sorry sight you are in?" Reina said with a light laugh as he looked at the Venerable Extinction, whose clothes were tattered and whose face was covered in blood.

"You actually watched your strongmen get defeated by me without coming out, just for this moment?" The Extinction Venerable knew from Reina's appearance that the other party had definitely not just arrived.

"Hehe... With me watching from the sidelines, isn't it a great experience for him to fight against a top-tier expert like you?" Reina chuckled as he helped Luffy up from the ground.

"Sorry, Uncle Reina, the opponent is quite strong!" Luffy said weakly upon seeing Reina.

Reina shook his head and replied softly, "It's alright, Luffy! You're still young, and you'll definitely surpass him in the future! Now rest well, leave the rest to me!"

Luffy nodded, closed his eyes, and began to rest. It wasn't that he had given up, but rather that he wanted to quickly recover his strength so that he could have another fight with the Destroyer!

As for the Venerable One, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

When Reina arrived, Flamebringer had already reported back, so there was a reason why the Destroyer still chose to defeat Luffy first.

Even now, it wouldn't be easy for Reina to defeat him, but they have a complete advantage in the overall situation. Reina has no chance of defeating him before the overall situation collapses, which is why he risked prioritizing dealing with Luffy.

All Reina can do now is retreat with Luffy. If he dares to kill Luffy before Reina, then they will have struck gold.

However, Reina did not seem to intend to retreat when facing the injured Destroyer.

If the Destroyer were to concentrate all his forces on the Straw Hat Pirates, the Red-Haired Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, and the Whitebeard Pirates would be able to quickly defeat the enemy. Whether they came to reinforce or continued their attack, they would inflict heavy losses on the extraterrestrial visitors.

So what he needs to do now is to keep Venerable Mie and the others here.

"You really intend to continue with me? With our current strength, it won't take long to defeat you. Do you really think you can defeat me in such a short time?" Seeing that Reina seemed to be about to make a move, the Extinction Venerable said with a light laugh.

"Really? How do you know we don't have reinforcements? Your troops are all here, right? We can finish the battles on our other battlefields at any time, and when reinforcements arrive... you'll be the one suffering!" Reina replied with a smile.

Anyway, he was determined to stall. Since the other party wanted to chat, it wouldn't hurt to chat with them!

Although the Venerable One could use this time to recover, even without giving him that time, Reina knew that he alone could not stop him.

Sure enough, upon hearing Reina's words, the Venerable Extinction's expression changed, and he said, "Are you so sure... you can quickly resolve the battles on the other basic battlefields?"

"Do you have extra troops that you can send to reinforce them?" Reina asked deliberately, a thought forming in his mind.

In fact, he is not aware of the situation on the other battlefields. Unlike the extraterrestrial visitors, they still need Den Den Mushi to communicate, so there is a delay in the transmission of intelligence.

But the extraterrestrial visitors are different; they have an internal network that allows them to communicate and transmit intelligence at any time.

Therefore, he can only use words to test and deceive the Venerable One. Regardless of whether the other side has sent reinforcements to other battlefields, he must appear confident of victory and make the other side suspect that they have a backup plan.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Extinction smiled noncommittally and said, "Didn't you want to make a move? What... have you changed your mind?"

Reina shrugged and said with a smile, "Alright, since you've figured it out, I guess I have to be honest! My goal was just to buy time!"

Seeing that Reina was so generous in admitting it, the Extinction Venerable became somewhat uncertain again.

In fact, he did not commit all his troops to this area. He also sent reinforcements to several other directions, but the numbers were not as large, and the purpose was only to stabilize the situation there.

Once the outcome is decided on their side, the other battlefields will naturally be calmed down.

However, Reina's current display of confidence made him somewhat doubtful. But messages from the internal network indicated that although they were indeed at a disadvantage on several other battlefields, holding out for a period of time and waiting for them to defeat the Straw Hat crew was absolutely no problem.

Even the Supreme Lords, now free from worries about their rear, are engaged in a fierce and evenly matched battle with the Sea Guard Army.

So overall, they have the advantage. As long as they can quickly eliminate the enemy in front of them, they don't need to worry about the enemy having any backup plans.

After thinking it through, the Destroyer, while dealing with Reina, gave everyone the order to attack, instructing them to quickly eliminate the enemy and drive the Straw Hat crew off the island.

Now, both the Extinction Venerable and Reina have the same idea: to delay and wait for the outcome of the battle on the battlefield. However, unlike Reina, he can obtain intelligence on various battlefields at any time, so he is more confident than Reina.

Seeing that the other party was not in a hurry at all, Reina knew that it would not be so simple to get results quickly on the other battlefields. This was information he deliberately revealed in order to obtain information about the other battlefields through the Venerable One.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Reina didn't waste any words. With a wave of his Hyōrinmaru, a giant ice dragon charged directly towards the Extinction Venerable.

"Hehe... Getting anxious now? No problem, I'm not in a hurry at all! If you want to play around... I'll play along with you!" Seeing this, the Extinction Venerable deliberately said sarcastically to Reina.

"You want to play? Sure! But I'm afraid you might accidentally... lose your life!" A glint flashed in Reina's eyes, and he began to move quickly.

Without wasting any words, the Venerable One vanished from the spot.

His strength lies in offense, so defense is not something he needs to do. In his view, offense is the best defense.

"Bang bang bang... Boom~~ Boom~~ Boom~~"

The two fought very quickly and with tremendous destructive power. Fortunately, the people around them kept their distance, so the aftershocks of their battle did not affect the entire battlefield.

Chapter 1154 Luffy's Request

While Reina was battling the Destroyer, Luffy was sleeping soundly to the side.

Replenishing food and getting enough sleep are Luffy's main ways of recovering. As long as he eats well and sleeps well, he will wake up as a hero again!

Meanwhile, the Straw Hat crew members, who had received reinforcements, also began to fight back.

"Devil's Kick - Lamb Set Meal!" Sanji unleashed a series of kicks so fast that afterimages appeared, leaving his opponent, a level 34 extraterrestrial powerhouse, completely unable to defend himself.

Previously, the other side ganged up on Sanji because of their superior numbers. If Vinsmoke Judge hadn't come to his aid, he probably would have lost his fighting ability like Zoro.

Now, Judge has been sent back to the rear for treatment due to his severe injuries, and they have finally received reinforcements. It is finally his turn to fight back.

The continuous attacks caused Sanji to feel a sharp pain. His previous injuries had distorted his movements, but compared to the rage in his heart, this pain was nothing.

He hated his Vinsmoke family bloodline, so even hearing the name would make him very unhappy. Apart from his sister Rouge, he disliked everyone in the Vinsmoke family.

But this time he was saved by Judge, who is now seriously injured and unconscious, and he doesn't know what's going on, which makes him even angrier.

Now all he wanted to do was vent his anger on his enemies.

Like Sanji, the Straw Hat crew's officers launched a counterattack, and for a time, there were even signs that the situation was stabilizing.

This was unexpected not only by the Venerable One, but also by Reina. He did not expect the Straw Hat crew to be so resilient. Despite being caught off guard and with almost all of their officers injured, they were still able to launch a counterattack.

"Hey~ the situation seems to be different now!" Reina said sarcastically as he attacked, looking at the livid-faced Venerable Extinction.

He never used his Sharingan, and in order not to arouse the suspicion of the Venerable One, he had to pretend that he had not used his full strength.

The Venerable One had no doubts, after all, he hadn't expected that Reina couldn't use his Sharingan right now, otherwise he would have already launched a full-scale attack.

He was injured, and the battle with Luffy had not only drained his energy but also left him with serious injuries. So, since Reina wasn't going all out, he was happy to play along with Reina.

However, as the situation changed, the Extinction Venerable began to get anxious, and he also understood why Reina was keeping him occupied here.

"Don't be too smug. Our forces are far stronger than yours. Even if you manage to turn the tide for a while, you are still destined to be defeated in the end!" Venerable Annihilation said in a fit of exasperation.

"Is that so? Then let's wait and see!" Reina replied with a mysterious smile.

The more Reina acted this way, the more worried Venerable Extinction was about what tricks he was up to.

However, given the current situation, the Venerable One doesn't have a good solution. He can only urge his subordinates to launch a full-scale attack and defeat the Straw Hat crew as soon as possible, so that he will have time and room to maneuver to rescue other battlefields.

However, Reina did not give him much time to command the troops. Although they had an internal network that allowed them to contact anyone at any time, Reina's relentless attacks kept the Venerable One from being distracted.

Although it seems that Reina doesn't intend to fight the Extinction Venerable to the death right now, he believes that once he shows a weakness, the other party will definitely not let him go.

Just as Venerable Extinction had guessed, Reina was waiting for his opponent to reveal a weakness. He provoked his opponent with words while trying to find a flaw in his opponent's defenses, thus laying the foundation for victory.
