Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Just as Reina had guessed, the Venerable Extinction had withstood Reina's attack, but he did not die. His body was cleaved in two by the blow, with a huge gash running from his left shoulder to his right abdomen. A large amount of blood gushed out of his body. If he hadn't been at the bottom of the river, Marco would have found him long ago.

Therefore, the moment he regained consciousness, the Venerable One used the internal network to instruct the other extraterrestrial visitors to create the illusion that he was dead. At the same time, he ordered a titled individual to retreat first, and then quietly come over to take him away.

He hadn't expected that Reina, in this state, would still be able to unleash such a powerful attack.

Lying at the bottom of the river, the Destroyer began to reflect on why he had suffered such a crushing defeat. Logically speaking, even if Reina the Black Emperor's abilities had advanced, their strength should have been roughly equal without using the Sharingan, and the Destroyer might even have been stronger.

After all, Reina Black Emperor's abilities cannot completely absorb the attack power of the Destroyer.

However, the result of their battle is that Venerable Extinction is now severely injured and on the verge of death.

Although he doesn't know Reina's current situation, it's definitely much better than his.

After reviewing the battle in his mind, the Extinction Venerable realized that from the moment Reina ambushed him and crippled his arm, he had unknowingly fallen into a disadvantageous position, but Reina had not shown it.

He continued to exert only his own strength, and maintained it, making me unconsciously believe it.

Even though he didn't want to admit it, the Extinction Venerable knew that even at his peak, Reina's strength was already very close to his own. If Reina could use his Sharingan, he might not be able to defeat him.

Just as the Venerable One was reflecting on his battle experience, his subordinates, all titled warriors, approached.

Upon seeing the Venerable Annihilation so badly injured, the man with the title was greatly surprised. He carefully picked up the wounded Venerable Annihilation and quickly returned the way he came.

At this moment, some of the Whitebeard Pirates' captains had arrived at Reina's side. He left a few junior officers to take care of him and told the rest of them to leave. At this point, whether it was to hunt down the Destroyer or to expand the results of the battle, it was a good choice. There was no need to stay by his side.

Chapter 1220 Results of the Battle

The battle on the Whitebeard Pirates' side ended in a way that no one expected.

With the Venerable One missing and his fate unknown, the remaining extraterrestrial visitors were routed and hunted down by the Whitebeard Pirates. They didn't even dare to use the teleporter and fled directly across the sea.

However, it was precisely because of this that Reina concluded that the Venerable One must have been rescued. Otherwise, those extraterrestrial visitors would have used the teleporter. They were afraid that using the teleporter would attract the Whitebeard Pirates, so they chose to escape through the vast ocean.

It was a great pity, but there was nothing that could be done. At that time, Reina was completely unable to move, so he was unable to track down the Venerable One.

The main problem was that his physical strength was insufficient. His energy limit at the time was already too great, and Reina's body was already struggling to keep up.

However, he didn't come away empty-handed from this battle. At least his meridians became more resilient after the energy surge. Moreover, when he was at his full strength, he seemed to be able to communicate with the Sharingan's eye power. He hadn't tried it before because he was in battle, but he could try it after he recovered.

If I could really use the Sharingan, even without the Rinnegan, facing the Venerable One of Annihilation next time would be much easier.

After resting for a while, Reina finally regained some strength and stood up again, asking the warriors guarding him, "What's the situation now? Have all the extraterrestrials withdrawn?"

"Reporting to the first mate, not yet. We don't know what those extraterrestrials are doing. Apart from Captain Marco and Captain Ace leading their men to search for the whereabouts of the Destroyer, the other captains and crew members are clearing the battlefield. There are still quite a few of their powerful members fighting desperately! In addition, the three Vinsmoke brothers are leading their men to attack their tents, intending to take down another tent for the Doctor!" Upon hearing Reina's question, the warrior beside him immediately replied loudly.

After witnessing Reiner's incredible prowess, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates became even more arrogant.

Their confidence stemmed from their captain and the number of strong members on board, so the more powerful Reina was, the more arrogant the Whitebeard Pirates became.

"You don't need to guard me anymore. Now is the perfect time to hunt down extraterrestrial visitors. The more you kill, the more luck you'll gain. Go quickly! I've recovered a bit and can protect myself!" Reina waved his hand with a smile, signaling the warriors protecting him to go hunt down the extraterrestrial visitors.

But the soldiers didn't seem willing to leave; they felt it was more important for them to protect Reina.

Seeing this, Reina didn't say much, but simply had the soldiers help him walk towards the coastline, as he needed to rest.

Meanwhile, after the battle between Reina and the Destroyer ended, the Whitebeard Pirates' communications officer immediately contacted the Marines and informed them of the results.

When Sengoku heard the news that Reina had defeated the Destroyer, he was stunned. If Reina and the Destroyer could be evenly matched, Sengoku could believe it, but to defeat the Destroyer in a head-on battle and leave him in a state of uncertainty was something Sengoku found hard to believe.

After informing Staff Officer He of the news, Staff Officer He was momentarily stunned and asked, "Do you think there's anything fishy going on here?"

Sengoku shook his head with a wry smile and replied, "The Whitebeard Pirates said that Reina was about to break through, so they postponed the plan. I thought Reina might have made a small breakthrough in some aspect, but now it seems that his strength has indeed made a qualitative leap. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to defeat the Destroyer in a head-on fight! From now on... things are probably going to get a bit bad."

"We don't know the specifics yet, and it might be different from what we think!" Staff Officer He believed that Reina's strength couldn't have increased that much directly. After all, at their level, even the slightest progress was extremely difficult.

Although Sengoku had some doubts, it was certain that Reina's strength had improved, though the exact extent of that improvement was currently uncertain.

As for his defeat of the Venerable One, there might indeed be some reasons they don't know about.

But no matter what, it's true that their situation is now much better because of Reina.

Therefore, the Warring States did not hesitate and directly issued the order for a general attack. In his view, with the fate of the Venerable One unknown, the extraterrestrial visitors were leaderless, and they could also take advantage of the situation.

However, he did not expect that after the battle on the Whitebeard Pirates' side was decided, even more enemies suddenly surged onto their side.

It turns out that the heavily injured Venerable Mie, in order to prevent the loss of this territory, not only dispatched all his subordinates here, but also brought along the powerful warriors who had just retreated from the other battlefield.

Sengoku realized this as soon as he saw the enemy reinforcements, but at this moment, he could do nothing but show a helpless expression.

"Should we retreat? Our mission is complete! The Venerable One has lost his fighting power. It's not a problem for us to retreat now, is it?" A staff officer under the Crane Staff Officer spoke up from the side.

Their naval forces were already insufficient, and there was no need to expend their forces here. If too many veterans who came from the navy with Sengoku were killed or wounded, it would greatly affect the naval forces' combat effectiveness.

"We can't retreat now! Contact the Whitebeard Pirates and ask them to send reinforcements. Since the enemies here came from their side, it's only natural that they would come to our aid!" Staff Officer Tsuru immediately rejected his subordinate's suggestion, saying, "If we retreat now, these cases will immediately return to the central island, and the chances of success there will be even lower!"

Sengoku nodded and said to the liaison officer beside him, "Contact the Whitebeard Pirates and tell them about our situation. If they don't send reinforcements, then we'll retreat immediately!"

"Yes!" The liaison officer gave Sengoku a strange look, then saluted and replied.

He didn't understand. Didn't Chief of Staff Tsuru just say that we couldn't retreat? Why is Lord Sengoku saying we should retreat now? Perhaps this is just a threat to the Whitebeard Pirates?

Regardless, his task was to deliver the information; how the other party responded and what Sengoku should do were not matters for him to decide.

Meanwhile, while the Whitebeard Pirates were still hunting down the remaining extraterrestrials, the communications officer received a call from Brulee, who inquired about their situation.

When the liaison officer told Brûlée that the first mate Reina had defeated the Destroyer, Brûlée's mouth dropped open, and she looked incredulous.

You must understand that the Extinction Venerable is the strongest among the extraterrestrial visitors. If we defeat him, then only the Imperial Venerable will remain. The two of them are like a mountain, constantly weighing on everyone's shoulders. Without eliminating the two of them, we cannot completely drive out the extraterrestrial visitors.

Chapter 1221 Report

After receiving the news from her liaison officer at the front, Bry was so excited that she trembled slightly.

When the Revolutionary Army proposed to rescue Kaido and Big Mom, she and Pudding were a little worried. What would they do if Big Mom returned? Their mother would definitely not let those who betrayed them get away with it.

She wasn't sure if the Whitebeard Pirates would turn against Big Mom because of them.

However, when Whitebeard set off, he seemed to have seen through her thoughts and specifically sought out her and Pudding to ask them what they thought.

Whitebeard's meaning was simple: it mainly depended on whether the two women wanted to return to the Big Mom Pirates. If they wanted to rejoin, the Whitebeard Pirates would release them unconditionally.

Of course, it would be best to keep the secrets they know about the Whitebeard Pirates a secret.

If they don't want to go back, then Whitebeard can guarantee that nothing will happen to them.

After discussing it, the two sisters decided to stay with the Whitebeard Pirates.

Although Big Mom is their biological mother, the atmosphere in Big Mom's crew is nowhere near as good as that of the Whitebeard Pirates. It is here that they can truly feel the warmth of family.

While in the Big Mom Pirates, although everyone was like family, there was little warmth in the family; instead, there was more competition among them.

So after the two sisters made their final decision, they felt a lot more relaxed.

And after making the decision, the two felt much more relaxed. Before, they had been worried that BIGMOM was just missing, not that he had decided to die.

If Bigom comes back one day, how will the two of them deal with each other?

So when the Revolutionary Army discovered Kaido and Big Mom's whereabouts, the two were already thinking about it, and they only truly felt relieved after Whitebeard spoke with them.

After making their decision, they considered the Whitebeard Pirates their home, which is why Brulee was so excited when she heard that Reina had defeated the Destroyer.

The stronger Reina becomes, the stronger the Whitebeard Pirates will be, and the safer they will be.

After getting the details from the liaison officer, Brûlée immediately began moving through the Mirror World, as she now had to tell Whitebeard the news.

Brûlée rushed to the mirror where she had previously contacted Joz and called out softly, but Joz did not answer. This worried Brûlée, so she couldn't help but step out of the mirror.

But she ran into Joz as soon as she stepped out of the mirror.

"Why did you come out? It's not safe here. Didn't I tell you? You should just stay in the mirror!" Jozu frowned as he saw Brûlée emerge from the mirror world.

Because of the decisions made by Bu Lei and Pudding, the captains' views on the two sisters have changed considerably. Although they were enemies before, they are now comrades. They believe that the two sisters, who have not left us now, will not betray the Whitebeard Pirates in the future.

“Mr. Reina defeated the Destroyer, whose fate and whereabouts are currently unknown!” Brulee didn’t bother with any more words and said directly to Joz.

Joz was taken aback at first, then his eyes widened as he asked, "What did you just say?"

“Mr. Reina defeated the Venerable One, whose fate and whereabouts are currently unknown!” Brulee repeated her words. She knew how shocking this news was, so she didn’t pay attention to Joz’s tone.

After confirming the news he had heard, Joz's face lit up with joy. He turned around to tell his father the information, but after taking a few steps, he turned back and grabbed Brûlée, making her come with him to see his father.

Whitebeard, who was resting on a deck chair, noticed Brulee's arrival, slowly opened his eyes, and asked, "Has something happened?"

“Yes, Father!” Brulee nodded, her face beaming with excitement. “The First Vice-Captain has defeated the Venerable Destroyer! The Venerable Destroyer’s fate and whereabouts are currently unknown! The front lines have achieved a great victory! When I arrived, Captain Marco was leading a search party for the Venerable Destroyer, while the other captains were sweeping up the battlefield! We have won a great victory!”

Whitebeard turned his head to look at Brulee, then suddenly laughed and said, "Gurararara... brat, you're quite something. So, has his Sharingan recovered?"

Previously, when Reina said he was about to break through, Whitebeard didn't think much of it. Now it seems that he must have found a way to use the Sharingan again. Otherwise, without the Sharingan, it would have been almost impossible for him to defeat the Destroyer.

But Brulee shook her head and replied, "I don't know, but I heard that it was the vice-captain who defeated the Venerable One with a slash. It is said that the sky seemed to be cut open and the entire island was split in two!"

"A slash?" Whitebeard was taken aback. He had thought that Reina had regained the ability of the Sharingan and thus defeated the Destroyer, but it seemed that there might be something else he didn't know.

But there's no rush now; we'll have plenty of time to learn more once we get back.

Now that the Destroyer has been defeated, he can no longer come back to support. As long as Dorrag and the others can withstand the pressure from the Lord of the Palace, this operation is very likely to succeed.

Thinking of this, Whitebeard turned to Jozu and said, "Send a team to the island and convey the news of the defeat of the Destroyer. Tell them not to worry, just hold off the Master! Or if they are able to defeat the Master, then we can take the opportunity to launch a general offensive and drive them out of our world in one fell swoop!"

“Yes! So, should we tell them that we’re carrying a teleporter?” Joz hesitated for a moment before asking.

Whitebeard thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Don't reveal anything for now. I estimate that the Venerable One is not so easy to deal with, and the visitors from outer space definitely have other methods. It's impossible for us to counterattack so easily! So just tell them that the Venerable One has been defeated, and also tell them that Reina is seriously injured!"

"Yes!" Joz didn't understand the tricks of the trade, so he just did whatever his father told him to do.

After Jozu left, Whitebeard turned to Brulee and said, "Thank you for your hard work! Don't worry, as long as you and Pudding are willing to stay with the Whitebeard Pirates, even if Big Mom herself comes, she can't take you away. Even if she wants to start a war, it doesn't matter! Our Whitebeard Pirates has never had the tradition of abandoning our families!"

Brûlée nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Dad. Now that we've made up our minds, Brûlée and I will definitely choose to stay with the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Chapter 1222 On Heroes

The news of Reina's defeat of the Extinction Venerable quickly spread among the major forces. However, although they received the news, they, like Sengoku, were somewhat puzzled, speculating whether Reina had used some means instead of defeating the opponent head-on.

Therefore, Reina's strength has become a mystery. Before seeing or fighting Reina in person, the strong all harbor a skeptical attitude.

However, since extraterrestrial visitors are their common enemy, they haven't shown it yet.

Once back on the ship, Reina was finally able to rest in peace, so he fell asleep immediately.

When he woke up again, he had already returned to the front-line camp.

"Hiss~" Reina had barely moved his body when he felt as if his whole body was about to fall apart, and he was in great pain all over.
