Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

This is his combined attack with Hyōrinmaru, and it's also his most powerful move to date.

"Hahaha... You're too late, this guy... He must die today!" The Destroyer laughed and punched Luffy.

Given Luffy's current condition, if he were hit, there would be absolutely no chance of survival.

"You're asking for death!" The blue in Reina's eyes became even brighter, and the Hyōrinmaru in his hand emitted a powerful chill that surrounded Reina, making him seem like a giant dragon.

"boom!"

A loud explosion rang out, and dust billowed up from where Luffy had fallen.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

The powerful extraterrestrial visitors who arrived exchanged glances, none of them daring to enter rashly.

A moment later, before the smoke had completely dissipated, a figure shot into the sky, a bloody hole appearing in his abdomen, and blood seemed to be raining down from the air like it was free.

"My lord!" The arriving extraterrestrial visitor exclaimed in disbelief upon seeing the figure in the sky.

"Cough cough cough..." The Venerable One of Destruction slowly descended while clutching his wound, and was immediately protected by the powerful extraterrestrial visitors around him, because Jinbe, Sanji and others had also arrived at this time.

"What happened?" Jinbe looked at the heavily injured Destroyer and asked Sanji with a shocked expression.

"I don't know, I just got here too!" Sanji shook his head and looked at the area obscured by smoke.

Just then, a blue figure slowly emerged from the smoke.

"It's Mr. Reina!" Jinbe quickly stepped forward and ran towards Reina.

But when he saw Reina's appearance clearly, he gasped in shock.

Reina's blue ice armor was completely shattered, with countless ice crystals scattered around him. His wings were broken off at the root, and he was holding only half of the Hyōrinmaru in his hand. A deep pit had appeared where he stood.

Reina floated silently in the air, with Luffy, who had already fallen asleep, in his arms.

"Mr. Reina... are you alright?" Jinbe asked, his voice trembling.

Without a word, Sanji took a step and used Moonwalk to arrive beside Reiner, asking softly, "What happened? Uncle Reiner, are you alright? How's Luffy?"

"Luffy is alright!" Reina said slowly, then handed Luffy to Sanji.

Just as Sanji took Luffy, the remaining ice armor on Reina's body shattered again, and Reina fell directly into the deep pit.

"Oh no!" Sanji, who had just taken Luffy from him, immediately ran towards Reina, and then came to Jinbe's side with two other people in front of him.

"What do we do now? Luffy and Mr. Reina both seem to be seriously injured!" Jinbe asked Sanji in a low voice while helping to protect Luffy and Reina.

“The Venerable One is also seriously injured. We have no choice but to retreat now. The enemy should not be able to pursue us!” Sanji said in a deep voice.

Chapter 1157 Mutual Destruction

With the Venerable One, Reina, and Luffy seriously injured, the situation in the battle seemed to become strange, and both sides began to end their small-scale, scattered battles and instead regroup.

The giant crater created by the battle between Reina and the Extinction Venerable was particularly crowded with the majority of the powerful figures from both sides.

"The opponent is actually so formidable? How could they injure Reina like this?" Yasopp asked incredulously, looking at the unconscious Reina.

As a core member of the Red-Haired Pirates, he had witnessed Reina's full power. Even before Reina received the power of destiny, he already possessed the strength of a Yonko. Having cultivated the North Blue for so long, Reina's strength must be even more formidable than before.

But even someone like Reina, in his current state, ended up lying here.

According to Sanji and Jinbe, the enemy's Destroyer was also seriously injured, but he did not fall unconscious.

From this perspective, it seems that Reina also lost to the Venerable One.

They didn't know that Reina wasn't directly fighting the Destroyer, but rather that he was protecting Luffy by taking the Destroyer's attack head-on.

In order to kill Luffy, the Destroyer also abandoned his defense and was shot through the abdomen by Reina.

“Luffy and Mr. Reiner are unconscious now, we can’t continue fighting. Jinbe, Zoro, arrange for your men to retreat, we’ll cover them!” Sabo said in a deep voice as he watched the enemy’s forces grow larger and larger.

Their strongest fighter has fallen, and continuing the fight would be very disadvantageous for them.

Meanwhile, Robin, who had already arrived at the rear, was standing on the shore receiving treatment with Nami.

She had naturally heard the explosion in the center of the island, and the disappearance of Luffy's Liberation Drum sound made her a little worried.

"Don't worry, Uncle Reina has already gone there. With him there, Luffy will be fine!" Nami seemed to see Robin's worry and said with a smile.

Robin nodded, but she was still a little uneasy. She knew that her father couldn't use the Sharingan. If he couldn't go all out when facing an enemy like the Destroyer, it wouldn't be easy to defeat him.

However, trusting in Reina's abilities, Robin believed that Reina would be alright and would protect Luffy.

"Robin, Nami! Get ready to upload! We've received word from the front that we need to retreat!" Just then, Chopper, panting heavily, ran over and shouted to the two of them.

"Retreat?" Nami was taken aback and asked in surprise, "What happened up ahead?"

"I don't know either. It seems the outcome of Luffy's battle is out. It appears both sides suffered heavy losses. Currently, both sides' forces are gathering in the center of the island. News has come that they are preparing to retreat, and we should get ready!" Chopper shook his head and replied.

"Since it was a planned retreat, Luffy should be alright!" Nami breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Because if something really happened to Luffy, they would absolutely not be able to retreat.

The troops here are from their Straw Hat crew. If their leader is killed, they will absolutely not retreat unless they seek revenge on the enemy.

"I guess it was Uncle Reina who made the decision, Robin... let's go!" Nami said with a light laugh, looking at Robin who was standing there motionless.

The battle was over, and they hadn't suffered too many casualties, which was the best thing. As for not being able to take the island, Nami didn't think it was a big problem.

However, Robin still did not move. Nami and Chopper noticed Robin's abnormality, stopped and looked at each other before turning to look at Robin.

“Robin…”

Chopper called out softly.

But when Robin turned around, the two of them were startled.

"Robin, what's wrong? What happened? Chopper, come and see Robin!" Nami was shocked to see blood tears streaming from Robin's eyes. She immediately walked towards Robin while calling out to Chopper.

Chopper quickly took off his backpack and ran towards Robin, whose condition was truly terrifying.

"It's nothing... it's just that my Sharingan suddenly seems to sense something!" Robin shook her head, telling her companion not to worry, and closed her eyes, saying, "My Sharingan hurts a little!"

"Robin, relax, let me take a look!" Chopper took out tools from his backpack, came to Robin's side, and said softly, "It's okay, trust me!"

Upon hearing this, Robin nodded and squatted down so that Chopper could examine her eyes.

But when Chopper opened Robin's closed eyes, a small comma-shaped tomoe was spinning rapidly in her blood-red Sharingan, which looked very eerie. Chopper, after just one glance, froze on the spot, unable to move.

"Oh no! Nami, don't look into my eyes! Chopper's under a genjutsu! Stimulate him with lightning, and he should wake up!" Robin was the first to notice the anomaly, so she immediately closed her eyes again and reminded Nami.

Upon hearing this, Nami immediately looked away from Robin.

Actually, she was also somewhat affected just now, and her mind went blank for a moment. Fortunately, Robin closed her eyes again, which prevented her from being affected as well.

"Robin, what happened? Did your Sharingan go out of control?" Seeing that Robin's Sharingan had actually dragged Chopper into the illusion, Nami asked in surprise as she took out her Clima-Tact.

"No, it's just that it's a little beyond my control. Just don't look into my eyes!" Robin shook his head and replied.

Soon, with Nami's help, Chopper regained his senses. After regaining consciousness, Chopper looked at Robin with lingering resentment.

"I'm sorry, Chopper!" Robin seemed to sense Chopper's fear and said with some shame.

Chopper realized his mistake and quickly shook his head. He walked over to Robin and said, "It's okay, it was my own carelessness. You can't use your eyes right now, let me take you back to the ship!"

Robin did not refuse Chopper's kindness; it was just to ease the misunderstanding from earlier.

The three quickly returned to the Sunny, and soon Franky and Brook also returned, covered in injuries.

"What's going on at the front?" Nami asked quickly.

"I don't know. All I know is that those extraterrestrial visitors suddenly converged on the center of the island. Sanji, Zoro, and Jinbe all went over there, and Franky and I followed along while helping the others retreat!" Brook shook his head and replied.

He wasn't entirely clear on what had happened, and he knew even less than Nami and the others back at the rear, because they had been fighting and hadn't been in contact with the rear at all.

As time went on, more and more people returned from the retreat, and Nami finally understood the situation and why they had retreated.

For this reason, she didn't know how to tell Robin, who was resting in the cabin, because Leo, who had returned, told her that the enemy, the Destroyer, and the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, the great pirate Akame Reyna, who had come to their aid, had perished together.

Chapter 1158 News of Death

"To die together?" Nami could hardly believe what she was hearing. She asked Leo, the dwarf, again, "Did you hear it, or did you see it?"

The Dwarfs are a very simple race; they don't deceive others, but they are also very easily deceived. Given how shocking this news was, Nami had to be more cautious.

"I heard it!" Leo said sadly, "I heard that he sacrificed himself to protect the injured Luffy Rando, and Usopp Rando was also there at the time!"

Upon hearing this, Nami immediately looked at Usopp beside her. Although she still held a sliver of hope, she also believed Leo's words.

"Nami!" Usopp also looked troubled. He and Reina had indeed heard the news from their comrades. At the time, he thought it was somewhat impossible, but no one would joke about such a thing. So at this moment, he didn't dare to look Nami in the eye because he didn't know how to explain it to Robin.

"Robin's eyes are injured right now, so let's not tell her about it for the time being. We'll talk about it when we get back!" After thinking for a moment, Nami decided to keep the news from Robin for the time being, otherwise she really didn't know how to face her companion.

Robin's tragic fate that year evoked great sympathy from everyone, but Robin herself did not show sadness because she still had a loving father.

Although it wasn't mentioned before, as a companion, how could Nami not know Reiner's place in Robin's heart? He was like a god to her.

This usually smiling older sister turns cunning when others speak ill of the Whitebeard Pirates. How can we expect her to accept Reiner's death?

As for her, she was also very close to Reyna. It was Reyna who taught Nami her navigation skills. In Nami's heart, Reyna was both a teacher and a father figure.

Reina was the one who facilitated the relationship between Nojiko and Marco, which led to Nojiko's current happy life.

Therefore, Nami herself is not very accepting of Reina's death, and she doesn't know how to explain it to Marco.

As the Straw Hat crew retreated, more and more people began to return, but when Nami saw Luffy being carried back and did not see Reina, she felt even more sad.

As for Sanji, Zoro, Jinbe, and the others, they looked at Nami and Usopp, who were in low spirits, with puzzled expressions.

However, given Nami's usual imperial status, none of them asked.

As for the injured and unconscious Reina, he did not return with them. Instead, before the teleporter was dismantled, he was teleported back to the Whitebeard Pirates along with the seriously injured Judge. Sabo and others from the Revolutionary Army also accompanied him. This is why Zoro and the others felt at ease letting Reina leave first.

With Sabo taking care of things, nothing unexpected should happen.

Once the evacuation was complete, as the Sunny headed towards the Straw Hat crew's base, Nami and Usopp shoved each other as they approached Robin.

Since Chopper didn't know much about the Sharingan, he simply gave Robin some pain-relieving herbs and bandaged her eyes.

"Hey~ Nami-san~ Did you come to see Robin-chan? I just brought him some food! Do you need any?" Sanji, who had just come out of Robin's room, saw Nami and Usopp and immediately said to Nami.

As for Usopp standing to the side... he was completely ignored.

"No need, thank you Sanji-kun!" Nami was in low spirits and had no appetite at all.
