Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

However, it's different for Reina. His Rinnegan already possessed terrifying power, and although Robin's power wasn't much to him, it activated his dormant Rinnegan, causing Reina's aura to become unstable and violent.

"Oh no, Reina has probably absorbed too much!" Jingudo was the first to notice the problem.

"Should we stop?" Sanji asked after a moment's hesitation.

Since Robin's condition has improved significantly, he is unsure whether to continue.

"Interrupt them!" Jin Guduo gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

Reina's importance to the Whitebeard Pirates is self-evident, so he cannot take any risks.

But just as they were about to make their move, Robin encountered a problem first. Her previously calm Sharingan with two tomoe suddenly began to spin wildly, and her aura became violent once again.

Meanwhile, purplish-red energy began to emanate from Reina's eyes, gradually enveloping his entire body.

It turns out that Robin's Sharingan was unwilling to accept the loss of its eye power and seemed to be trying to reclaim it from the Rinnegan. However, the difference in strength between the two was too great, which caused Robin's Sharingan to go berserk.

"Nami, you take Robin away first, we'll handle Reina!" Sanji directly blocked Robin and Vice Admiral Reina, preventing Robin from looking at Reina.

At the same time, Jin Guduo also came up behind Reina, ready to stop him at any moment.

Upon hearing Sanji's words, Nami, without saying a word, stepped forward and delivered a swift chop to Robin, knocking her unconscious and taking her away.

"This way, follow him. He'll take you to the lounge so Miss can rest!" Frank pointed to his subordinate and said to Nami.

“Okay!” Nami nodded. With the help of Frank’s subordinates, she planned to take Robin away, since Reina’s condition seemed to be not good.

Sanji and the others' intervention interrupted the absorption of the Rinnegan's eye power. Although it prevented Robin's eye power from being completely drained, Reina's energy gradually began to surge wildly.

"Damn it! I can't control it at all! What went wrong?" Reina was fully conscious the whole time, and he also discovered the dormant Rinnegan. However, the Rinnegan kept absorbing Robin's eye power, and he couldn't stop it at all. He couldn't even use the power of the Rinnegan.

Chapter 1163 Sanji's Dilemma

Reina, who had absorbed a large amount of Robin's eye power, found that he was unable to use this power at all and could only watch as the eye power gradually went berserk.

"What...what is that?" Just then, Nami, who had originally planned to escort Robin away first, turned around and looked at Reina, only to find that his eyes had turned into circles of mosquito coils, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Is this what they call the ultimate Sharingan... the Rinnegan?" King Gondo had heard Reina mention the Rinnegan before, but this was the first time he had ever seen it.

Those concentric circles of patterns seemed to emanate endless pressure, making Jin Gudu tremble slightly. If Reina were to go berserk, it was feared that no one would be able to stop him.

"Frank, contact Dad. Also, notify the lab to prepare to activate the defenses. In case Reina goes berserk... everyone must immediately advance to evacuation!" Jingudo ordered Frank, his voice trembling.

"Yes!" Frank, who was not far away, immediately turned and ran. With his combat strength, he probably couldn't even withstand the aftershocks of the battle.

Strangely, although the power within Reina was violent, he himself remained completely still.

"What's going on now?" After waiting in ambush for a while without seeing any movement from Reina, Sanji couldn't help but ask.

Jin Gudo shook his head and said, "I don't know! Perhaps... Reina can control himself now?"

But even after Frank returned, Reina made no move and did not respond to what they said.

"Frank, what did Dad say?" Jingudo asked immediately upon seeing Frank return.

"Dad can't leave for the time being, so he's sent Captain Marco back via teleportation. He'll be there soon! Also, the Doctor has issued an order to upgrade the shelter. Although the defense system isn't finished yet, if there are any problems, at least the laboratory's shelter can accommodate some residents! The basement can also be opened!" Frank said in a deep voice.

With his worries gone, Jin Gu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But looking at Reina who was still motionless, he didn't have a good solution for the time being.

“Perhaps…” Just then, Sanji suddenly spoke up, “Mr. Reina is unable to move because he is injured?”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly, because this might actually be the reason.

Reina, who was lying there, was speechless. He had previously suspected that the Rinnegan was trying to do something, but it turned out that his body was unable to move, which was why he hadn't moved.

Logically speaking, the Rinnegan's power should be enough to support Reina's movements even if he is completely paralyzed. However, the Rinnegan is currently unable to use its own power and can only use the energy it absorbed from Robin. Therefore, it has no way to control Reina's body at this moment.

Although Sanji's reminder made everyone aware of Reina's physical condition, Kingo still dared not be careless. Besides warning others, he did not cancel his promotion status.

A moment later, Reina's aura began to weaken, and the rings of his Rinnegan slowly began to dissipate.

"Phew~ thankfully we didn't cause any major trouble!" Jin Guduo breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

At that moment, Marco, who had arrived via teleportation, also arrived at the scene.

"What's the situation now? Jingudo, how is Reina doing?" Marco asked immediately when he saw everyone surrounding Reina on guard.

Before King Krush could speak, Robin, accompanied by Nami, walked over.

"It's alright, everything's normal for now!" Jin Guduo explained the situation upon seeing this.

Marco was speechless after hearing this, but it would be better if no crisis occurred.

"Frank, Dad's still waiting for news. Go contact him and also ask Xuan Yue Island to lift the alert!" Marco said after thinking for a moment.

With him around, Reina in this state can't cause any trouble.

Seeing that Reina was alright, Robin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her eye power had been almost completely depleted, so her eyes had returned to normal.

Without the obstruction of those eye powers, she can now fully control her Sharingan. However, compared to the single-tomoe Sharingan, the double-tomoe Sharingan is not so easy to control, and she needs some time to adapt. Once she has adapted, her strength will reach a new level.

Everyone waited a while longer until Reina said that everything was alright, and then everyone was completely relieved.

"Father, are you really alright? How is your Sharingan? Can you use it now?" Robin immediately stepped forward and asked.

Reina shook his head and said with a wry smile, "You all saw it just now, right? My Rinnegan is completely out of my control, but it's slightly stronger than before."

He wasn't deceiving Robin; at least he could now sense the location of the Rinnegan. However, there seemed to be a thick wall separating him from the Rinnegan, and neither his energy nor the Sharingan's power could break through that barrier.

Now that we've found a place, it's better than not knowing anything at all. At least we have a direction to strive for in the future.

After everything was over, Robin and his two companions planned to return to their base. After all, they had just experienced a great battle and needed to go back and take care of things.

But Sanji seemed hesitant; he wanted to go see Judge.

Although he didn't like the other person and didn't consider him a father, Judge was injured because of him, so it was only natural for him to visit him.

Sanji was torn about whether or not to go.

"Go!"

Before anyone knew it, Nami and Robin appeared behind Sanji and said to him with smiles.

"What? Nami-san~ Robin-chan~ Where are you going? Is it time to go back?" Sanji was taken aback, then deliberately asked.

"Alright, Sanji! You just want to see your father, right? Go on!" Nami said with a smile, patting Sanji on the shoulder.

Sanji was silent for a moment before speaking, "He is not my father!"

"But even so, you'd still worry about him if he got hurt, right? Don't deny yourself! Because you're such a kind person!" Nami said with a light laugh.

Sanji kept his head down, neither speaking nor moving.

“Sanji, we’re comrades. We trust you, just as you trust us! So we know how kind you are! Even if someone you have no connection with were injured because of you, you would still go to see them, wouldn’t you?” Robin said softly, seeing this. “We’ll wait for you here. Go!”

"Nami-san~~ Robin-chan~~~" Sanji was very moved and even transformed into a noodle shape, but Nami punched him back.

"Then I'll have to wait for you. I'll be right back!" Sanji said to Nami and Robin before leaving.

Chapter 1164 Changes in the Vinsmoke Family

"Sanji, what brings you here?" Sanji encountered Reiju coming out of the hospital before he even went inside.

After exhaling a smoke ring, Sanji slowly said, "I've come to see him!"

Although he didn't explicitly say who he was visiting, Reiju immediately knew that Sanji was referring to their father, Vinsmoke Judge.

Reiju, somewhat delighted, led Sanji toward her father's hospital room, telling him about her recent situation as they walked.

Sanji, however, seemed somewhat distracted.

"Sanji, I'm so glad you could come today!" Reiju, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped and said to Sanji.

"Huh?" Sanji was taken aback and looked at Reiju with some confusion.

“You know what? I really love the Whitebeard Pirates!” Reiju turned around, smiled at Sanji, and said, “Many people have changed here, including some you wouldn’t expect!”

"The Whitebeard Pirates have the ability to change people?" Sanji chuckled, seemingly unconvinced, because he knew who Reiju was referring to.

However, Reiju didn't explain much. Reina had told her that the changes in Ichi and the others couldn't be changed by the environment; their changes could only be possible through the power of destiny.

However, Judge's change was due to his environment, which is why Reiju said that.

However, since Sanji didn't believe her, Reiju didn't say anything more, but instead led Sanji towards the ward.

Although Judge is not yet a core member of the Whitebeard Pirates, his status is almost the same as that of an ordinary captain, so his hospital room is very quiet.

Upon arriving at the ward, Sanji was somewhat surprised. Because of Reiju's words earlier, he thought he would see Ichiji and the others here, but apart from Judge who was resting, there was no one else in the ward.

"Father, Sanji has come to see you!" Reiju said softly as she opened the door.

Judge glanced at Sanji but didn't say anything, which surprised Sanji.

In his opinion, Judge should be very disgusted, because he hates this kind of superfluous emotion the most.

But Judge, lying on the hospital bed, did not speak; he simply turned his head to the side.

Sanji didn't seem to mind. He casually placed the flowers that Reiju had given him at the hospital reception into a vase in the ward before walking to the bedside and asking, "Why did you save me back then?"

“I just did what an ally should do. You don’t need to express your gratitude if you want!” Judge said somewhat stiffly.

Sanji really wanted to light a cigarette, but after checking his pocket, he put it back. This was a hospital room, and smoking wasn't appropriate.

Judge lay silently on the bed, not saying another word.

Reiju, standing to the side, watched the awkward father and son with amusement. One of them wanted to express his gratitude but couldn't find the words.

The other one hoped to gain her son's gratitude, but pretended to be disdainful.

"Is it because I'm bothering you that you're not saying anything? If so, I can leave now!" Reiju said with a smile, leaning against the door.

Sanji and Judge both looked at him upon hearing this, and when they saw Reiju smiling at them, they both felt embarrassed.

"Never mind, I just came to express my gratitude. Since you don't need it, and I've already seen you and confirmed your condition, I'll be leaving now!" Sanji said after thinking for a moment.

"Sanji!" Before Judge could speak, Reiju shook her head and said, "You're clearly worried about him, and you're already here, so why can't you be honest about it?"

Sanji glanced at Judge, who had no expression on his face, chuckled, and said, "I was indeed worried about him, but only because he was injured while saving me!"

"Hmph!" Gaji, lying on the hospital bed, snorted coldly upon hearing this and turned his head to the side again.

Sanji was genuinely surprised this time, because Judge's behavior looked very familiar to him, almost exactly like the arrogant green-haired guy.
