Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Of all the Big Mom Pirates, Brulee respected Katakuri the most. If Big Mom had died and Katakuri had taken over the Big Mom Pirates, Brulee might have actually gone back to help. But right now, her mother is in power, so she chose to stay with the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, in order to make Katakuri's life a little better, Brulee was willing to tell him some ordinary information. As long as it did not involve the interests of the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard would not care about these matters.

When Brulee rescued Big Mom and Kaido, she had already asked Whitebeard beforehand if she could share this information with Katakuri. Only after receiving Whitebeard's approval did Brulee reveal it.

Sure enough, Katakuri's eyes softened upon hearing Brulee's words, showing his deep affection for his younger siblings.

"Navy?" Big Mom glanced at Garp beside her and asked, "Hey~ Garp! Say something! Aren't you going to return my Whole Cake Island to me? Or do I have to go get it myself?"

Big Mom is quite confident in her own strength. She might not be able to deal with the Destroyer and the Master, but dealing with ordinary Marines and pirates is a piece of cake for her.

Karp snorted coldly, not bothering to answer her at all.

“Katakuri, this is the information about the changes in the world after you were captured. I’ve compiled it all! I’ve only mentioned some information about the Whitebeard Pirates and their allies briefly, without detailed records. You’ll understand once you’ve read it!” Brûlée carefully took out a stack of intelligence from her bosom and handed it to Katakuri.

She said this because Jozu told her that it was better to give information openly than in private. Moreover, these words were not so much meant for Katakuri, but for her allies, to tell them that they would not betray their information to the Big Mom Pirates.

After Brulee finished speaking, the others didn't say much, but their expressions softened. It would be going too far if the Whitebeard Pirates shared their information with the Big Mom Pirates.

Although some intelligence may not mean much, Brûlée's actions were a way of saving face for them, which pleased them.

Chapter 1227 Big Mom and Kaido (Part 2)

Looking at the intelligence report handed to him by Brûlée, Katakuri shook his head, patted Brûlée's head, and said, "It's okay, Brûlée! You're a member of the Whitebeard Pirates now, especially since you're doing intelligence work. These things belong to the Whitebeard Pirates, you don't need to give them to me!"

Katakuri didn't seem to care about taking it, but Big Mom snatched the intelligence report away, saying, "Without intelligence, we're blind, so this is rightfully mine!"

Katakuri looked at Brulee with a hint of helplessness and smiled apologetically.

However, Brulee didn't care. These were originally prepared for Katakuri, and were agreed upon by Whitebeard and Jozu.

Big Mom got information from Brulee, and Kaido is gone.

However, Kaido didn't care. He believed that with his strength, taking back some of what originally belonged to him would be no problem at all.

Although his Beasts Pirates, like the Big Mom Pirates, had fallen apart, as long as he was there, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

"Governor, what do we do now?" King, the leader of the Three Disasters, came to Kaido's side and asked in a low voice.

"It's alright, let's find a place to recover first. Once we're healed, we'll go back to the New World and take back what's rightfully ours!" Kaido said nonchalantly.

His Beasts Pirates suffered even greater losses than the Big Mom Pirates. The Big Mom Pirates had Katakuri to protect their younger siblings, but the Beasts Pirates' executives didn't care about the lives of their subordinates.

Therefore, apart from Kaido and the Three Disasters, even the Flying Six members of the Beasts Pirates are ranked below him.

But at that moment, the leader of the revolutionary army, Dragon, stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen, there is something you may not know. Before we rescued you, we had already agreed that you cannot leave the North Sea before we defeat the extraterrestrial visitors!"

"What?!" Kaido and Big Mom looked at Dragon with fury. What was this? Imprisoning them?

"Is this surprising? We went through all this trouble to rescue you, only to send you back to the New World? If we sent you back to the New World, the Navy wouldn't have agreed to this plan! We rescued you so you could fight off extraterrestrial invaders in the North Blue!" Dragon waved his hand dismissively, saying, "We'll give each of you a small island; how you develop it is up to you!"

Big Mom and Kaido exchanged a glance, then gritted their teeth and said, "Are you treating us like thugs?"

“That’s right!” Dragon said without any attempt to hide his intentions. “This was our original purpose! If it were just to save you, we wouldn’t have needed to launch such a massive operation! You should know that we paid a considerable price for this operation! If it weren’t for the fact that you can also fight against extraterrestrial visitors, why do you think we would save you?”

Dragon's words were very straightforward, but they left Kaido and Big Mom speechless.

Kaido and Big Mom were naturally very unhappy with the arrangements made for Dragon and the others. The hot-tempered Kaido was about to lose his temper, but was stopped by King.

“Governor, it’s really not the right time for us to go back to the New World! In that case, why don’t we stay in the North Blue for now?” King pulled Kaido back, shook his head, and said, “We’ll talk about everything after we’ve recovered!”

Upon hearing this, Kaido refrained from attacking.

BIGMOM, on the other hand, showed no reaction whatsoever, seemingly having resigned themselves to their fate.

Seeing that neither of them objected, Dragon nodded to the others, took out a map, and said, "We are currently located here, having left the extraterrestrial visitors' territory. However, since we don't have a teleporter, you will have to leave by ship! As for the territory given to Kaido and Big Mom, it is within the territory of our Revolutionary Army and the Whitebeard Pirates, so we will escort them! The rest of you can go your separate ways. Is that alright?"

Shanks and Luffy exchanged a glance. Since their territories were adjacent, they decided to leave together.

Whitebeard actually had a teleporter, but he couldn't take it out at this moment, so he just nodded and didn't object.

As for Kaido and Big Mom, they had no choice but to comply with Dragon's demands.

However, both of them had already decided that they would develop in Beihai now, and once their injuries recovered, no one could stop them from doing whatever they wanted.

Soon, everyone parted ways.

"Thank you, Dad!" Once on the whale ship, Brulee found Whitebeard and said very sincerely.

"Gurararara... Idiot, do you need to thank your father?" Whitebeard laughed heartily.

Joz, standing to the side, smiled and nodded. He was very satisfied with Brulee's performance. She was indeed someone Reina valued. When the two sisters first came, many people thought it was inappropriate. After all, they were former enemies. It was one thing for them to be on the ship, but to entrust such an important position in the intelligence department to them was very unsuitable.

Despite opposition, Reina allowed the two sisters to join the intelligence department, and they indeed proved to be very capable, their abilities being perfectly suited for intelligence work.

Their addition brought new changes to the Whitebeard Pirates; at least their intelligence capabilities improved significantly.

Brulee and Brin performed admirably this time. At least in Joz's opinion, they did what they were supposed to do, which is excellent.

However, Big Mom was quite unhappy. Although Brulee and Brin were once invisible and "clown-like" when they were in Big Mom's crew, they were given important positions elsewhere. Wasn't this a slap in the face to Big Mom for not being able to recognize talent?

Therefore, in her view, even treasures can only rot in her hands.

However, the situation is now beyond her control, and she has no choice but to back down in the face of the Whitebeard Pirates, who are at the height of their power.

Katakuri, on the other hand, was quite satisfied with Brulee's current appearance. She seemed happier now than when she was in Big Mom, which was good. As for whether she was given important responsibilities, that was not what Katakuri cared about.

So after Brulee and Whitebeard finished their conversation, Katakuri went to find Brulee and asked her some questions. Of course, he only asked about her and Pudding, and it had nothing to do with the Whitebeard Pirates.

Brulee recounted everything that happened after they disappeared, especially when she talked about how the pirates swarmed in because of her mother and the officers' disappearance. Even Katakuri, who was now extremely weak, exuded a strong killing intent.

Chapter 1228 Brulee's Touching Moment

"Brûlée, I don't object to you and Pudding staying with the Whitebeard Pirates! But remember, you are my family, Katakuri's family. If you are bullied here, come to your brother anytime, and your brother will take you away! Even if they are the Whitebeard Pirates, they can't stop my determination!" Katakuri said earnestly, holding Pudding's hand as they parted.

"Thank you, Katakuri-nii-san!" Brûlée replied, deeply moved, with tears in her eyes. "I'm doing very well here! If there's anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask, and please take good care of yourself!"

Katakuri smiled, then turned and followed Big Mom away. This time, the Big Mom Pirates suffered heavy losses, with only some core members still alive; the rest were either dead or had run away.

So there's still a lot they need to do. To rebuild the Big Mom Pirates, besides the core Big Mom, the number of members is also essential, and all of this requires the cooperation of Katakuri, Smoothie, and others.

Watching Katakuri and the others leave after waiting, Brulee wiped away her tears and turned back to the whale ship.

"Alright, we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet again!" Joz patted Brûlée on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Yes!" Brûlée nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "I also need to become better so that I can help Katakuri in the future!"

Brulee no longer hid her plans. Having been with the Whitebeard Pirates for so long, she had come to understand that as long as certain bottom lines weren't crossed, she could do whatever she wanted in the Whitebeard Pirates, and everyone would support her.

This was the first time she experienced the power of companionship and truly understood what companionship means.

When the whale ship returned to Crescent Moon Island, Frank was already waiting at the port, along with all the captains who had stayed behind on Crescent Moon Island.

"Gurararara... Children, let's get ready for a feast!" Whitebeard, always eager for excitement, immediately suggested having a banquet when he saw everyone so happy.

"Father, everything is ready at the banquet square, just waiting for your return!" Frank, ever the sycophant, approached Whitebeard and said.

"Excellent! As expected, you're the most reliable person when it comes to getting things done. Men... let's go to the banquet square and have some fun!" With a wave of his hand, the white-bearded man sent everyone rushing toward the banquet square.

On the way, Whitebeard asked Frank beside him, "What's going on with Reina? Does he now have the strength to defeat the Destroyer in a direct confrontation?"

"The first mate specifically instructed me that you would definitely ask about this when you return. He said that he doesn't actually have the strength to kill the Venerable Annihilator in a direct confrontation, but it's still possible to defeat him. This result was entirely accidental, and it's impossible to achieve such a result next time we fight! So the first mate is very regretful that we couldn't kill the Venerable Annihilator!" Frank quickly replied.

Whitebeard nodded in understanding, which was similar to his guess. Without using his Sharingan, Reina definitely did not have the strength to kill the Destroyer in a direct confrontation.

But Reina actually said he can already defeat his opponent head-on? It seems that his breakthrough last time has greatly increased his strength!

Whitebeard has already decided that next time they meet, he'll try his luck with Reyna.

At this time, Reina's body had not fully recovered, and he could only recuperate at the front-line camp every day.

Because of the recent major battles, the extraterrestrial visitors have shifted from being the attackers to the defenders and no longer actively provoke battles. As a result, the front lines in various places have become very quiet, with only the Coast Guard occasionally launching small-scale battles. Their main purpose is not to fight, but to train their troops.

This operation resulted in heavy losses for the Navy Guard, leaving them short of a large number of personnel, which is why they became so proactive.

Reina believed that even if there were any plans now, they would most likely not participate, because their main objective now was to train their troops.

"Hey you, did you do this on purpose? You knew Dad would throw a banquet when he got back, so you brought me all the way from Xuan Yue Island to work for you here?" Lakyo asked, looking at the relaxed Reina with a displeased expression.

After everything was over, Reina gave the order for Lakyo to bring the captains of Xuan Yue Island to the front-line base, while the other captains who participated in the battle were to return to Xuan Yue Island to recuperate.

“There’s nothing we can do about it. This battle was extremely fierce, and almost everyone was injured. Can you bear to watch your comrades work while injured? Besides, I’m staying here to keep you company, aren’t I?” Reina shrugged and said with a smile.

Lakyo rolled his eyes and replied, "I'd rather not see them attending Father's banquet injured!"

"Don't do that!" Reina patted Lacour on the shoulder and said with a smile, "How about I throw you a banquet too? Then you can focus on your work after that?"

"Forget it! There aren't many things to do anyway, and there's no need to hold a banquet!" Lakyo replied somewhat helplessly.

The kind of banquet he wanted wasn't a small gathering of a few people, but a large-scale banquet like the one on Xuan Yue Island!

"Alright, you go ahead and get busy. I'm going back to rest. I need to recover as soon as possible!" Reina smiled and said goodbye to Lacjo before leaving.

As Laco watched Reina leave, a million mythical beasts raced through his mind. This guy really just left like that?

They really just left him here and walked away?

"Captain...?" Laqué's vice-captain asked cautiously, "Where... are we going now?"

“What else can we do? Let’s go work at the base!” Lakyo replied irritably.

When Lakyo arrived at the camp, he found that the Sachi who had left had already taken care of most of the affairs. Their presence there was less about work and more about guarding the camp.

So he let his men rest, and then Lakyo finished the rest of the work himself.

Back home, Reina didn't really rest. Instead, he did some restorative exercises to keep his body active and help him recover.

After training for a while, Reina took a shower before going out to sit in a tavern.

The tavern here is newly built. Because their battle lines are constantly pushing forward, their front-line outposts also need to be pushed forward. Many merchants are like this; as soon as the temporary outposts of the major powers change, they will change accordingly.

So no matter how their location changes, they will never have to worry about the infrastructure.

Chapter 1229 Joy

When Reina pushed open the tavern door, it was bustling with activity. Since Laugh Tale and the others had just arrived that day, everyone had chosen to come out and relax in the evening. The Whitebeard Pirates occupied two-thirds of the seats in the tavern.

"Boss, your pub is still too small!" Reina said to the owner with a smile as he approached the counter. "A glass of rum! And don't give me the cheap stuff! You know what will happen if it's not good!"

The chubby shopkeeper immediately walked over with a smile and said, "Lord Reina, there's nothing we can do about it! As you know, we do business here, and the front lines are not far away. The enemy could attack at any time, so we can't afford to open a shop that's too big! Although I trust the Whitebeard Pirates, we still have to be careful!"

As he spoke, the fat boss had the bartender bring out the best rum and handed it to Reina.
