Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

When Reina woke up again, he felt extremely comfortable. After stretching, he came out of the room.

"First Mate!" At the door, a waiter bowed and greeted Reina immediately.

"Hmm! Has anything happened? Have the captain and Marco sent back any intelligence?" Reina asked casually.

"Captain Marco and the others are back, and Old Man Di's group has also returned. Their mission was a success!" the waiter said excitedly.

"Huh?" Reina was a little dumbfounded and quickly asked, "When did this happen?"

"This happened this morning. It's already noon. First mate, you started sleeping yesterday noon and have been sleeping for a whole day and night!" the waiter replied with a smile.

"Marco and the others are back, so are they in charge now?" Reina breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"It's still Captain Sachi, but he's resting right now!" the waiter replied softly.

"Alright!" Upon hearing this, Reina headed towards the temporary base, as he needed to go there to obtain more detailed information.

When Reina arrived at the temporary camp, he found that there were already quite a few people there.

"Why aren't you resting?" Reina asked, frowning as he saw Jingudo and the others drinking there.

"It's all because Marco said we couldn't all go to rest, so a few of us stayed here!" Jingudo said with a wry smile when he saw Reina. "But now that you're here, we can go back and rest!"

As he spoke, Jin Guduo and the others staggered up from their seats, intending to leave.

Seeing this, Reina did not stop them. They had not rested since the battle, so it was only natural for them to rest now.

After they all left, Reina began to deal with the matter.

He also learned from the documents what happened after he fell asleep.

Early this morning, news came from Whitebeard's side that they had completed their mission and were beginning their withdrawal.

With Whitebeard as a fresh force to meet them at sea, even though the Master was furious, he dared not continue to pursue them and could only try to stop them by deploying troops.

He feared that if he pursued them, other ambushes would attack the central island.

However, Whitebeard had already made arrangements. After the group returned to the sea, they were directly teleported away through Brulee's mirror world. By the time the extraterrestrial visitors found them, only a few empty ships remained.

As for Kaido and Big Mom, there wasn't much information about them in the intelligence reports. We'll only know the details after Whitebeard returns.

After Whitebeard finished dealing with his affairs, the Navy chose to retreat immediately. The Navy suffered heavy losses this time, and it is estimated that they will not be sending troops out for quite some time.

Although the number of strong warriors did not decrease, and their generals even gained a lot of luck power because of this battle, the number of ordinary soldiers lost was so high that Sengoku and Advisor Tsuru were heartbroken.

Chapter 1225 Lark

Beihai, the garrison of the Haiwei Army, and the office of the Warring States period.

Apart from Staff Officer Tsuru, almost everyone, including Sengoku, was injured and wrapped in bandages. Fujitora even had a head injury.

"We've lost quite a few troops this time. If the World Government or the Navy doesn't replenish our forces, we might not be able to launch any effective offensives in the near future. We must train those new talents!" Staff Officer Tsuru said with a headache.

Sending new recruits to the battlefield without training is not fighting a war, it's murder.

“But training entirely in the training camp is not only too slow, but the trainees might not even be qualified!” Aokiji shook his head and said, “They still need to experience the baptism of war to become qualified soldiers! In this great battle, most of the dead were new recruits recruited after arriving in the North Sea. The naval soldiers we brought with us did not suffer many losses! I propose that they be promoted and then trained by them!”

"That won't do either!" Fujitora shook his head with his eyes closed and said, "Sending them directly to the battlefield without any military training is too irresponsible with their lives! You just said that the biggest casualties in major battles are the new recruits. Even the trained recruits this time suffered heavy casualties. If the untrained recruits hadn't been trained, the casualties would probably be even greater! We can't do that!"

This is in the Coast Guard. If it were in the Navy, Fujitora's words would be meaningless, because Sakazuki would never choose to consider human lives; what he demands is combat power.

However, the Warring States period is different, and so is the Sea Guard. The Warring States period can make all the decisions here. Although they also belong to the World Government, they are an independent force, both in name and in reality.

So after Fujitora offered his opinion, Sengoku nodded and said, "The new recruits still need to be trained, but our training needs to be changed. This place is different from Marineford. We don't have that many soldiers or that much time, so we can only train them on how to survive on the battlefield, and then let them go to the battlefield at an appropriate time to experience the cruelty of war!"

Everyone nodded, agreeing that the Warring States period's method was the best.

"Tsuru, the World Government will probably need you to negotiate with them later. We need to ask them for the follow-up funding and manpower!" Sengoku said, looking at Advisor Tsuru.

The staff officer nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Dong dong dong..."

Just as everyone continued to discuss how to train the new recruits in the best and fastest way, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in!" Sengoku frowned, and after telling everyone to pause their discussion, he called out to the outside.

"crunch~"

A scantily clad young woman, with a leather whip tied to her thigh, pushed open the door and walked in.

"Skylark! What brings you here?" Staff Officer Crane asked in surprise upon seeing the visitor.

"Grandma!" the pretty girl called out to Staff Officer He in a clear voice.

It turns out she is Hibari, the granddaughter of Staff Officer Tsuru and currently serving as a Vice Admiral at the Navy Headquarters.

Staff Officer He frowned and asked, "You brat, I'm asking you a question! Why aren't you staying in Marineford? What are you doing in the North Sea?"

"Hehehe..." The girl, Hibari, chuckled and said, "What am I doing at headquarters? It's so boring there. It's much more interesting to come to the North Sea. I heard that the extraterrestrial visitors here are quite interesting, so I came to have some fun!"

"Interesting?" Staff Officer Tsuru pointed at Aokiji and Fujitora and said, "See their injuries? It was just one battle, and even Kuzan and Issho were seriously injured. You're here to die?"

Hibari then looked at Aokiji and the others with surprise. She had noticed when she entered that, apart from her grandmother, even Sengoku's grandfather was wrapped in bandages. She had been wondering who could have hurt the three of them, especially Aokiji, who, as a veteran admiral of the Navy, was quite powerful and not inferior to Fleet Admiral Sakazuki.

But she didn't expect that just fighting the extraterrestrials would result in them all being injured. Sengoku is the supreme commander! Does that mean the commander is also going to the front lines?

Hibari looked around and didn't see Garp, who was always at the forefront of every battle.

Although Garp is powerful, he is also older. Could it be...? An ominous premonition lingered in Hibari's heart.

Seeing his granddaughter's eyes suddenly redden, Staff Officer He was completely bewildered. What was going on? Although Aokiji and the others were seriously injured, it shouldn't be this bad, right?

"Grandma...Grandpa Garp..." Hibari asked hesitantly, looking heartbroken.

Staff Officer He's face darkened, and he said, "Garp just went out on a mission, he's not dead!"

She was at her wits' end with her precious granddaughter. Her brain seemed to be missing a screw; she didn't resemble her granddaughter at all, but rather Garp's bastard. She should never have entrusted Hibari to Garp for training in the first place.

Now his granddaughter is just like Garp, with an empty head.

"Phew~ That scared me to death! I thought Grandpa Garp was dead!" Hibari patted his already small chest, looking relieved, and replied.

As for Sengoku and the others standing to the side, they were somewhat dumbfounded as they watched the little girl perform.

“I said…you still haven’t answered me! What are you doing here?” Staff Officer He asked with a dark face, “Shouldn’t you be in Marineford right now?”

"Marineford isn't fun? This place is much more interesting!" Lark said with a grin.

"Go back right now!" Staff Officer He said with a stern face.

However, Hibari went directly to Sengoku's side, bowed, and said, "New recruit Hibari reporting for duty!"

Sengoku rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache, and then gestured towards Advisor Tsuru, meaning that he wouldn't dare accept Hibari without winning over Advisor Tsuru.

Sure enough, when Yun Que looked at Staff Officer He, he saw that Staff Officer He, whose hair had turned completely white, was now filled with anger.

"You're all here, but you've left me in the Navy! What will those people think of me? I can't stay in the Navy anymore!" Seeing this, Hibari sat down on a single sofa in a huff, turning her head away from Staff Officer Tsuru.

Upon hearing Hibari's words, Sengoku and Advisor Tsuru's expressions changed.

They considered a possibility.

"How does Marineford view us now?" Sengoku asked with a bitter expression.

You pursed your lips and said softly, "They all say you are traitors, that you betrayed the Navy and divided it! I know that's not true, but that's what Fleet Admiral Sakazuki is spreading!"

Sengoku sighed; he knew that Reina's scheme had succeeded.

Chapter 1226 Big Mom and Kaido (Part 1)

Lark eventually joined the Navy Guard.

The news she brought saddened Sengoku and Advisor Tsuru. They had already discussed the matter with Sakazuki and knew it was just a temporary measure, but Sakazuki still took the initiative to separate them.

He could understand Sakazuki's actions, but he looked down on him somewhat. If he were the Admiral, he would have given the Navy enough trust.

Things have already turned out this way, and there's nothing he can do about it now.

In fact, not only him, but even Staff Officer He had foreseen this, but they all held onto a glimmer of hope, believing that as long as the high-ranking officers of the Navy and the Coast Guard could understand each other, there was still a possibility of integration in the future.

If the extraterrestrials are driven off their planet before they die, then everything is still possible.

But now... Sakazuki has ruined all of that.

"How about... we summon all our old subordinates?" After only Staff Officer Tsuru and Sengoku were in the office, Staff Officer Tsuru suddenly spoke up.

“If we do that, the Navy and the Coast Guard will really be separated!” Sengoku replied bitterly.

“But the situation has already become like this! Even Yun Que, who used to be in the special forces, had thoughts of not being able to stay. What are you going to do with the generals in Marineford? Coming to the Marine Guard allows them to make some contributions to the world, while staying in Marineford means they can only grow old and die at headquarters!” Staff Officer He said somewhat agitatedly.

Sengoku remained silent, wanting to make one last effort, especially since Reina's strength was now sufficient to defeat the Destroyer. Regardless of how Reina did it, he had indeed succeeded.

So once Reina defeats the Supreme Being, no one from outer space can stop him. As for their massive army, Sengoku doesn't see that as a problem. As long as they have a powerful figure that the enemy can't stop, victory will be theirs.

Once the extraterrestrial visitors are defeated, the Sea Guard will have no reason to exist, and they will be able to return to Marineford.

Furthermore, as veterans of countless battles, their treatment upon returning to the Navy will certainly be better than others. Even Sakazuki would not allow such a strong team to remain idle.

Seeing the silent Sengoku, Staff Officer Tsuru knew his intentions. As a long-time partner, she knew Sengoku's personality very well, so she didn't say anything more. She planned to go back to her room and contact her subordinates herself. Whether when she was a vice admiral or in the staff department, she had a group of female naval officers under her command. When she came to the North Sea, those subordinates wanted to come with her, but she refused.

But now... she felt she could ask around and see if anyone wanted to come and join her.

Of course, she would never force someone who didn't want to come, so she would need to ask Yun Que about that.

Previously, to avoid Sakazuki's misunderstanding, neither she nor Sengoku had any contact with the people at headquarters, so she didn't know what the situation was like there now.

Just as the high command of the Navy was in some disarray due to Hibari's arrival, the Revolutionary Army's allied forces emerged from Brulee's mirror world and returned to the normal world.

"Well, well, well~~ Consider this a favor I owe you, but now I need you to tell me where all my children have gone?" The weakened Big Mom glanced at Brulee before saying with a strange laugh.

Just that one glance, and from the incredibly weak Big Mom, was enough to nearly make Brulee collapse in fear.

"You may seek out your subordinates, but Lingling... I remember telling you that Brulee and Bling have already boarded my ship, so they are my people. If you try to take advantage of them, I won't hesitate to sink you into the sea!" The somewhat lazy white-bearded man looked at Big Mom and said softly.

"Well, well, well... Newgate, I naturally have no objection to those two having your protection, but the rest... I won't let them off easily, you don't have any objections, right?" Although BIGMOM spoke weakly, the hatred in his eyes made everyone present know that those children who betrayed BIGMOM were likely to be in trouble.

"Mom, this isn't the time to talk about this. I think we should go back to the New World first!" Katakuri was in a terrible state, his usual elegance gone, his body covered in wounds, looking as if he had been pulled out of a pool of blood.

Katakuri's words were unanimously agreed upon by the remaining Big Mom's children. In their current state, they were no match for even a slightly stronger pirate crew, let alone a Yonko-level pirate crew.

Therefore, going back to rest and recuperate is the best choice now.

"Katakuri, it might not be so easy for you to retreat back to the New World!" Brulee whispered from the side. "According to the intelligence our Whitebeard Pirates have, Whole Cake Island was divided up by other forces after Mom disappeared, and now the main force of the Navy is sweeping through the New World!"
