Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Uncle Reina, can I handle this guy?"

But at that moment, Luffy, who had been sleeping soundly to the side, suddenly woke up and staggered over, asking a question.

Reina stepped out of the battle and came to Luffy's side, asking in surprise, "Luffy? Are you alright, kid?"

"I...I'm fine!" Although Luffy's condition was quite worrying, Reina noticed a determined look in his eyes.

The Venerable One looked on in disbelief. He knew very well how badly Luffy was injured, because he was the one who caused those injuries. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Luffy to recover in a short time, let alone fight again now.

However, Reina's decision surprised the Venerable One, as he nodded and agreed to Luffy's request.

In the eyes of the Venerable One, this was simply sending this straw-hatted boy to his death!

He couldn't beat his opponent when they were at their peak, let alone now.

Although Reina had also exhausted some of his strength, the Destroyer did not believe that the Straw Hat Pirates could defeat him now.

Looking at Luffy assuming a fighting stance, the Destroyer was somewhat confused.

He looked at Reina, wondering if this was some kind of scheme by Reina, perhaps he was planning to launch a sneak attack after he and Straw Hat Boy started fighting.

With a skeptical mindset, the Destroyer didn't really intend to fight Luffy. He focused most of his attention on Reina, who was watching from the sidelines, fearing a sudden attack from him.

But soon, the Venerable One discovered that the boy with the straw hat was really planning to continue fighting him!

"boom!"

"Huff... huff... if you don't focus on fighting me... I'll defeat you very soon!" Luffy said to the Destroyer, panting heavily.

The Venerable One touched his cheek where he had just been slapped and looked at Luffy in disbelief.

He couldn't believe that Luffy actually had the ability to fight at this moment.

"Is this your purpose?" The Extinction Venerable looked at Reina and said softly, "If I were serious, this kid would be dead!"

"If you can do it... you can give it a try!" Reina said with a light laugh. "Luffy isn't so easily defeated!"

"Hehehe... Uncle Reina, leave this to me! You can go somewhere else!" Seemingly aware of the Venerable One's concerns, Luffy said to Reina with a smile.

"Are you sure you're okay? If I leave, this guy might actually try to kill you!" Reina looked at Luffy and asked, "Or should I stay here and keep watch for you?"

"No need! I can do it!" Luffy said firmly, "I'm a little worried about my crew, so... please!"

"Damn it...Are you ignoring me?" Luffy and Reina's conversation infuriated the Destroyer. In his eyes, Luffy was no match for him, let alone Luffy in this state.

If Reina really leaves, he will consider it a disrespect to him.

Chapter 1155 Luffy's Abilities

Faced with Luffy's request, Reina glanced at the slightly angry Destroyer and said with a smile, "Luffy, that guy is probably furious right now. If I leave... are you really okay with that?"

"Hehehe... I will defeat him!" Luffy said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Reina said to the Extinction Venerable, "Then I'll leave my little brother to you. Don't actually kill him! I'm going to get a few of your title holders to play with! By the way, I'll bring them over. If you manage to catch my little brother, we can exchange hostages, how about that?"

"Damn it... I'll kill him! And then I'll kill you!" the Venerable Annihilator roared angrily.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Reina didn't pay much attention and left laughing.

"Die!" Seeing Reina leave, the Destroyer threw a punch at Luffy.

Luffy seemed to have been prepared all along, and immediately dodged the attack from the Destroyer, but the opponent was too fast, and Luffy's dodge was extremely difficult.

Even so, Luffy still managed to launch a counterattack while dodging.

"boom!"

The Venerable One blocked Luffy's attack with a livid face, but he was somewhat taken aback, because this defensive counterattack was one of his most proficient techniques.

"Hehehe... Actually, I'm very grateful to you!" Luffy looked at the Destroyer and said seriously, "You taught me what true offense is! Offense doesn't have to be bound by any particular method, so I'm even stronger than before!"

"Hahahaha..." Upon hearing this, the Venerable One suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "As expected of the chosen one, you truly possess formidable abilities, excelling at learning and summarizing? But even so... you must die here today!"

Luffy shook his head and replied, "No! I will defeat you!"

Seeing this, the Venerable One decided not to continue arguing with Luffy, as it was pointless.

So he made his move and attacked Luffy directly.

As expected, Luffy, due to his injuries and previous exhaustion, immediately fell into a disadvantageous position and was attacked by the Destroyer in succession, showing signs of collapsing again.

"Kid, is this the way you said you'd defeat me?" The Destroyer looked at the swaying Luffy and couldn't help but mock him.

"I will definitely defeat you!" Upon hearing this, Luffy's expression seemed to become even more determined. Then, with a loud shout, he activated Nika Mode once again.

The sound of heartbeats rang out again, like the sound of a liberation drum, instantly invigorating everyone on the island.

"It's Luffy!" Sanji glanced at the enemy lying in front of him, exhaled a smoke ring, and said softly, "I knew it, you could do it!"

After saying that, he ignored his own wounded appearance and continued running towards the next battlefield.

Zoro, who was recuperating from his injuries in the rear, suddenly opened his eyes and called out to the nurse beside him, "Hey you... take off the bandages on me!"

The medics treating the wounded were taken aback. They looked at Zoro, who was struggling, and stopped him, saying, "Mr. Zoro, you can't get up now, and you can't remove the bandages!"

"I understand my body. Change my bandages, this one isn't good!" Zoro nodded and said calmly.

"Oh, I see. That was quite a shock! I'll change your bandage right away!" the nurse said with a sigh of relief.

Little did she know that Zoro, who had years of experience working with Chopper as a doctor, already knew how to get rid of this annoying thing on his body.

So while the nurses were removing his bandages and preparing to put on new ones, Zoro suddenly got up and ran away, leaving the nurses dumbfounded.

On the other side, Sabo, who was fighting the Iceman, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had always wanted to help Luffy, he was stopped by the Iceman here.

Now that they knew Luffy was safe, they breathed a sigh of relief and began to fight their opponent seriously.

As for Reina, who left Luffy's side, he didn't actually go far. First, he had to be wary of the Venerable One actually killing Luffy, because in terms of strength, the Venerable One did indeed have that kind of power.

Secondly, he wanted to find an opportunity to ambush Venerable Extinction. Of course, he wouldn't choose a time when the two were fighting, because that would be extremely disrespectful to both of them.

Therefore, the best time is when the two have decided who will win.

In Reina's opinion, it should be when Luffy is defeated that he can take the opportunity to ambush the Venerable One, which would both protect Luffy and severely damage the enemy, making it a win-win situation.

However, he was quickly shocked by Luffy's performance. This was not the first time Reina had seen the counter-attack ability of the Destroyer. He had also suffered from this move when he fought the Destroyer.

The ability to dodge your attacks and then counterattack is extraordinary and requires extremely high reaction speed. At least Reina felt that it would be impossible to learn this ability without rigorous and systematic training.

However, Luffy learned it, and in just one battle, he perfectly mastered the ability of the Destroyer. This fighting talent is simply heaven-defying, and he truly deserves the title of the Chosen One of the Pirates.

Little did anyone expect that Venerable Extinction would unintentionally become a teacher as well.

When Luffy reactivated his Nikka form, Reina knew that Luffy wouldn't be easily defeated anytime soon, not even by the Destroyer.

Relieved, Reina watched the Venerable One's movements carefully again, wanting to try to learn his defensive counter-attack abilities and also to observe his weaknesses so he could use them in future encounters.

Reina originally wanted to go find Robin, as he was worried about her safety. However, compared to Robin, who had already gone to the rear of the battlefield, Luffy was more likely to encounter unexpected situations, so he chose to stay behind.

As for why he didn't join the battle, it's because in a war of this scale, his individual strength is limited and he simply cannot change the course of the entire war; at most, he can only influence the outcome of a local conflict.

For a powerhouse like him, it's more about fighting against the opponent's stronger opponents and preventing them from wreaking havoc on the battle.

He would only prioritize dealing with the enemy commander if the enemy had no equally powerful opponents, in order to influence the course of the battle to the greatest extent possible.

However, this method of launching a surprise attack on the enemy commander is not very effective against extraterrestrial visitors, which is why Reina chose to stay here.

Chapter 1156 Matching

"Why can you still stand up? This is impossible! Judging from the injuries you've sustained, you shouldn't be able to stand up anymore! Why is this happening?!" The Destroyer Lord angrily questioned Luffy in front of him.

He was going crazy. No matter how many times he knocked this guy down, he could always get up again, perfectly demonstrating what it means to be an unkillable cockroach.

Reina, who was hiding to the side, was practically laughing his head off. He knew that Luffy was now fighting entirely on his willpower, but the Destroyer on the other side was probably on the verge of collapse.

Therefore, Reina felt that staying here was the best decision he could make, because no matter whether the Destroyer of the Lord collapsed first or Luffy fell first, as long as he appeared, the Destroyer of the Lord of the Lord would automatically retreat without him even having to lift a finger.

Once the Venerable One retreats, the battle here can essentially be declared over.

But before Reina could leave, he sensed several life forces rapidly approaching him.

It seems that the Venerable One's current state has attracted the attention of the extraterrestrial visitors, which is why someone has come to help.

However, Reina would not let them succeed. Although he missed the opportunity to ambush the Venerable One, even if he did, the chance of killing him would be slim.

If we can stop the arriving extraterrestrial reinforcements, we can secure victory in this battle.

"Oh!"

Accidents often happen unexpectedly. Just when Reina felt victory was within reach, Luffy fell down first.

"Damn it!" Reina didn't care about anything else and ran quickly towards Luffy's direction.

Seeing Luffy finally fall, the Destroyer was as excited as if he had obtained some priceless treasure. He laughed and roared at Luffy, "You better get up again! Can't take it anymore? You finally fell in front of me! So now... die!"

Even though Reina has now appeared and is heading this way, the Destroyer doesn't care about anything else at this moment; his only thought is to kill the fallen Luffy.

"Destroyer Venerable, are you out of your mind?" Because of the distance, Reina's movements were definitely not as fast as the Destroyer Venerable's, so he chose to attack the Destroyer Venerable directly.

If the other party is determined to kill Luffy, then Reina, who is on his way, will definitely be able to severely injure him. And once Reina severely injures him, then Reina is confident that he can keep the Destroyer here.

Therefore, when he made his move, Reina had already anticipated that his opponent would prioritize dodging his attacks.

However, at this moment, the Destroyer attacked Luffy without regard for anything else, as if he would rather kill Luffy than be killed by Reina.

But Reina could not accept such consequences.

Even if the Destroyer is dead, his physical form still exists. But if Luffy dies, he's truly dead, and the Straw Hat crew, one of the Four Emperors, will definitely fall apart.

This is why he loudly reminded the Venerable One, in order to make the other party regain his composure.

"Hehe... Reina! You'll get off easy this time!" The Venerable One's eyes revealed a ruthless glint as he glanced back at Reina and said softly.

It turns out that the Destroyer wasn't as crazy as Reina thought. He had a different understanding of killing Luffy than Reina.

The destruction of this world's chosen one will cause far greater damage to the world than Reina anticipated.

So even if this body dies, as long as the Destroyer can actually kill Luffy, he will definitely not lose out.

Seeing that the Venerable One showed no intention of stopping, Reina knew that the other party had a plan.

"You dare!" Reina's speed suddenly increased, his icy wings unfurled, becoming even wider than before, and he gained a layer of armor made of ice. His eyes even turned azure blue.
