Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Robin then froze on the spot.

Robin, who quickly regained his senses, looked at Reina with a glint in his eyes and said, "Father, it seems I'll have to stay here a while longer! But what do you plan to do with this Golden Palace?"

The broken golden treasure chest, when combined with this stone tablet, can control the entire golden palace, including its mechanisms. If this were taken outside, it would be a pretty good defensive measure.

“Let’s see! Moving the Golden Palace won’t be that easy; at the very least, this place will definitely be destroyed!” Reina said with a light laugh.

"Then let me study the whole island first before you make your move!" After learning that there were still many ruins on the island, Robin became very interested in this sunken island.

The others were puzzled by the father and daughter's conversation, but they all knew that the glowing stone tablet should provide the answer, so they all stepped forward and entered the illusion.

Chapter 1189 The Strange Movements of the Extraterrestrial Visitor

After solving all the mysteries, Reina led the rest of the group back to the surface of the sea.

Robin wanted to stay and continue his archaeological work, but Reina had no intention of continuing. Even if they wanted to bring the Golden Palace back to light, they would have to return to Crescent Moon Island first. So he left with Olga and Perona.

As for Naga and Shirahoshi, they will first return to Fishman Island. They have been away for so long, it's time for them to go back. Also, as a princess, Shirahoshi cannot stay on the front lines forever, so Naga will escort her back before bringing the Sea King Army back.

After a night of revelry on the ship, everyone left early the next morning.

On the way back, Reina finally had time to check the rewards given by the system.

"Congratulations on completing the S-rank treasure hunt mission and receiving a treasure gift pack!"

"You have received a treasure pack: One Otherworld Summoning Scroll!"

"Another world summoning scroll?" Reina looked at the scroll in his hand, somewhat puzzled. What was the use of this thing?

Perhaps it's like the scroll used to summon the Nine-Tails?

After carefully reading the scroll's instructions, Reina began to understand its meaning.

Another World Summoning Scroll: You can summon anything from another world (including people and items)! As for what you can summon, it depends on the host's luck. It could be a bag of snacks, a missile, or even a legendary figure.

"A legendary figure? I wonder what kind of strength qualifies someone as a legendary figure? Are you really going to bring me Naruto from Naruto or Ichigo from Bleach?" Reina stroked his chin, feeling that this thing was a bit eerie.

I'm tempted to use the scroll now, but I'm worried about summoning some junk. Luckily, I don't need anything right now, so I'll just leave it in my inventory and use it when I'm on a roll.

After processing the system's rewards, Reina contacted Whitebeard and told him everything that had happened, as well as Vegapunk and Dr. Asie, whom Reina had specifically notified.

Upon learning of the situation, both Dr. Asie and Dr. Vegapunk showed great curiosity.

However, Vegapunk is currently mainly researching the extraterrestrial visitors' tent space, so he cannot leave for the time being.

During this time, he did not rest on Xuan Yue Island. In addition to helping Xuan Yue Island rebuild its defense system, he also recreated the clones that were destroyed on Future Island.

This gave him time to handle other things; otherwise, he probably would have stayed in the lab indefinitely.

By the time Reina returned to Crescent Moon Island, the first phase of the island's defenses was almost complete, and many of Whitebeard's pirate crews had already set off for various frontline islands.

They were pirates, not construction workers, so after completing the first phase of the defense project, the rest could be done slowly.

As for Whitebeard and the captains, they remained on Xuan Yue Island. Of course, some captains were also dispatched to the front lines, as Xuan Yue Island did not need so many combat forces at the moment.

Especially after Reyner returned, Whitebeard sent even more men to the front lines.

The gold that Reina brought back was enough for the Whitebeard Pirates' expenses for a while, and it also replenished the food and drinks they had consumed during their previous revelry.

Dr. Assie and Dr. Vegapunk also learned more details from Olga and Perona.

Vegapunk originally didn't want to go out; he preferred that Reina salvage the so-called Golden Palace and send it to Crescent Island for him to study.

He felt that it would be a waste of time for him to go and salvage it himself.

However, his clone, Yu, said he could go in place of his main body because he was quite bored on Xuan Yue Island, doing nothing but eating, drinking and sleeping every day!

While on Xuan Yue Island, he could handle other matters, but here he had no use for them at all, so he might as well go out for a walk and maybe gain something.

Vegapunk naturally wouldn't refuse, so after informing Reina, he had Dr. Asie lead the group and Vegapunk himself towards the Calm Belt.

Accompanying them was the captain of the Eighth Division, Namur, who, being a fish-man, could better protect them in the ocean.

As for Reina himself, after greeting Whitebeard, he entered the Tower of Trials to start earning points.

He now has only one goal: to train his physical strength inside the Tower of Trials while earning enough points to exchange for the Black Emperor's abilities.

Although you can earn points quickly in the Tower of Trials, a full million points is not something you can earn in a short time.

A day later, when Reina emerged from the Tower of Trials covered in injuries, Frank came to find him.

"You mean the extraterrestrials' forces have started to increase?" Reina asked, frowning.

"Yes, that's why Father personally led men to the front lines, leaving you to guard Xuan Yue Island!" Frank nodded and said.

"Have the captains all gone to the front lines?" Reina asked while wiping himself down.

"Currently, three captains remain on Xuan Yue Island. They are helping to complete the first phase of the defense system, and they will also head to the front lines once it is completed!"

“Understood. Then, as before, you will be in charge of all matters on Xuan Yue Island. If there’s anything you can’t resolve, come to me. I need to cultivate during this time!” Reina nodded and said.

Frank nodded, indicating that he understood.

After Frank left, Reina began to carefully consider the intelligence that might be involved.

First of all, it can be confirmed that the Venerable One did not change his body. Although he severely injured the other party at the time, it was not fatal. If he had been recuperating, he should be almost fully recovered by now.

It's just unknown whether that body will have any impact on the current Extinction Venerable. After all, even if the injuries of that level heal, there should still be some aftereffects.

According to Frank's intelligence, the extraterrestrials' reinforcement of the front lines at this time likely indicates that the injuries of the Extinction Venerable and the Imperial Venerable have healed, and they intend to launch an attack.

After all, they had lost too much territory before, so it's no wonder that Whitebeard was so nervous and transferred most of his troops to the front line.

However, Reina was not worried, because their current strength was not weak either. Moreover, there were other forces in the North Sea besides them. They would not stand by and watch the extraterrestrials attack.

After finishing his meal, Reina went out for a stroll. Watching the defense system he and Dr. Vegapunk had designed gradually come to fruition, Reina finally smiled. Once the defense system of Crescent Moon Island was completed, it would become the safest place in the world.

Chapter 1190 The Missing Doctor

Ever since Frank reported the extraterrestrial visitor's unusual activity to Reina, Reina has been extra careful when going to the Tower of Trials, trying his best not to get too seriously injured. He would rather spend more points to buy the key to the Tower of Trials and enter it more often than to get too badly hurt, for fear that if things changed at the front lines, he wouldn't be able to get there in time to provide assistance.

However, when he emerged from the Tower of Trials once again, he discovered that the first problem to arise was not at the front lines, but rather at Dr. Asie's location in the Calm Belt.

"You mean the Doctor and the others sent us a distress signal after they arrived at their destination? And then the whole team disappeared? Have they contacted the Straw Hat crew? I remember Robin and Luffy should be there too!" Reina frowned after hearing Frank's report and asked.

"We've already made contact. Because of the unusual activity of the extraterrestrial visitors, the Straw Hat crew has already withdrawn from that area. After all, as their leader, Straw Hat Boy couldn't possibly not go to the front lines!" Frank shook his head and said.

"That's strange! With Namur with them, they should be able to handle most situations! And there's no danger in the North Sea! As for that ruin, there shouldn't be any danger there either!" Reina couldn't understand what had happened to the Doctor and the others that caused them to disappear after only sending out a distress signal.

"Have you sent anyone to check?" Reina asked after thinking for a moment.

"We've already sent people over, but there's been no news yet! Also... Olga's side will probably require your intervention; she wants to go out to sea to find the Doctor right now!" Frank said with a helpless expression.

"Where is Olga now?" Reina asked Frank.

Frank scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "I locked them up, otherwise they would have kept clamoring to go out to sea, and I really didn't dare let them go out!"

“Come on, take me to see them!” Reina sighed and said.

He knew that when Frank said "they," he meant Olga and Perona. Given their relationship, Perona would never let Olga act alone.

Upon hearing this, Frank led Reina toward the laboratory.

He couldn't really keep Olga and Perona in prison, so he had to ask Dr. Vegapunk to let them stay in the lab temporarily.

When Reina arrived at the lab, before he even saw anyone, he heard Olga and Perona arguing loudly.

"Frank, you bastard! How dare you lock me up? Just wait until I get out, I'll kill you!"

"Vegapunk, come out here! Release me now, now!"

"That's right, Vegapunk, do you know what you're doing? Hurry up and let Olga and me out!"

However, when Reina appeared in front of them, Olga and Perona fell silent and dared not make a sound anymore.

“Miss Olga, it’s not that I want to imprison you, but the first mate is in seclusion and hasn’t come out yet. If I don’t stop you and let you go out to sea, and something happens, I won’t be able to explain it to the first mate, and I won’t be able to explain it to the Doctor in the future!” Frank said with a bitter expression.

Olga didn't even look at Frank, but stared at Reina and asked, "What are you going to do now? If you're not going to save that idiot father, then make him let me out, and I'll go save him myself!"

"You're going to rescue him? What are you going to do with him?" Reina said with a grim face, "Do you have any news about the Doctor? He didn't go alone; Captain Miu'er is with him. Your strength isn't even comparable to Miu'er's. How are you going to rescue him?!"

“I know I’m useless, but… I don’t want to stay on Xuan Yue Island like this and wait for news of my stupid father’s death!” Olga replied, head down.

"Who told you the Doctor was killed? He was traveling under the banner of our Whitebeard Pirates. Whoever captured him wouldn't dare to harm him easily, especially with Namur around. Maybe they just escaped and can't contact us right now!" Reina shouted. "Now you and Perona stay home and rest. As soon as we have news of the Doctor, we'll set off immediately! Don't cause me any trouble, understand?"

Olga remained silent, while Perona patted her on the shoulder, reassuring her to follow Reina's instructions.

"Let them out. If they cause trouble, don't tell the Doctor when you hear from her!" Reina said to Frank, turning his head to the side.

"Yes, First Mate!" Frank hesitated for a moment, then nodded and walked over to release the two men.

Reina turned and left immediately; he needed to ask Vegapunk if he had any ideas.

"If you stay quiet, I'll take you with me when I set off. If you cause trouble... then I won't take you!" Reina left with these words, leaving Olga completely silent.

After leaving the place where the two were being held, Reina went straight to Vegapunk.

“Yu had a locator on him, but it can't be located anymore. I don't know what happened. The last place Yu disappeared was at the edge of the Calm Belt, which should be where you found the treasure! Although Dr. Assie sent a distress signal, there was no news from Yu. There is only one explanation for this situation, which is that Yu was eliminated immediately!” After Reina found Vegapunk, Vegapunk directly told him the information he had.

"So that means they reached their destination, but likely encountered someone else who attacked them the moment they met. Dr. Assie was protected by Namuel, so he was able to send out a distress signal, but Yu was killed by the enemy immediately because he had no one to protect him?" Reina said, frowning.

Vegapunk nodded and replied, "That's very likely!"

However, Reina had some doubts, knowing that Namur's strength had increased significantly after his encounter with the extraterrestrial visitors.

Moreover, they are flying the banner of the Whitebeard Pirates. What kind of enemy could ignore the Whitebeard Pirates and directly attack them to the death? And even severely injure or eliminate most of them in the first instance?

There are only a handful of forces with that kind of power, but these people have no reason to take action against them at this time.

However, Vegapunk couldn't give him any answers, so Reina had no choice but to leave.

Chapter 1191 Searching for Clues

In order to find the missing doctor, Frank contacted the nearest Whitebeard Pirates member as soon as he received the distress signal and went to the scene to check.

After leaving the Tower of Trials, Reina met Olga and Vegapunk.

After calming Olga down and getting the information from Vegapunk, Reina summoned the Watch Hawk and sent it to the scene of the incident to search for it.

The surveillance eagle can fly, making it easier to spot targets when searching from the sky.

He still believes that Dr. Assie and Namuel escaped while injured.
