Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Reina plans to talk to Luffy and his crew when he sees them tomorrow morning, suggesting that they shouldn't be so flamboyant in the future.

However, he was unaware that Luffy and his crew were already embroiled in a fierce battle.

"Luffy, let's go first. Fighting them now is not good for us!" Zoro said weakly to Luffy, who was filled with anger.

"No way! Nami, Robin, and Usopp have been captured by them!" Luffy rejected Zoro's suggestion and shouted back.

"Idiot!" Zoro grabbed Luffy, pointed at his equally weakened companion, and said, "Look at our current state. Are we fit to fight? Let's retreat first, and come back after we've recovered. We can even tear this place down!"

Luffy tried to struggle and continue fighting the enemy, but Sanji knocked him unconscious with a single chop, then had Jinbe carry Luffy away.

"Why bother with this idiot? Let's go!" Sanji glanced at Zoro and said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Zoro nodded and followed Sanji away.

After they left, a group of soldiers dressed in black armor arrived.

"Hmph~ What Four Emperors Pirate Crew? They're nothing special!" The leading armored soldier opened his mask, revealing a fierce-looking face.

“Let’s go, they’re too tough to escape! Let’s put out the fire first. Their comrades are in our hands now, they’ll come back later!” Another soldier captain patted his shoulder and said softly.

"They're lucky they ran fast!" Upon hearing this, the fierce-looking captain nodded, took off his mask, and led his soldiers away.

The next morning, when Reina woke up, he was surprised to find that Luffy and the others were not there. After activating his Observation Haki, he discovered that Luffy and the others were still around the castle, and he could not detect Nami and Robin's presence.

"What are these guys doing?" Reina frowned and whispered.

They had agreed to go to the back mountain today to look for clues about the tower, but they're still at the tower now.

"Have you heard? Yesterday, a group of pirates attacked the Wess family, but they were defeated by the Wess family!"

"That's right, I heard that several more pirates have been captured, and the town is still searching for the remaining pirates!"

"Pfft!" Hearing the conversation around him, Reina spat out his coffee.

Chapter 1236 The Angry Straw Hat Crew

Reina, doubting his ears, immediately asked the guest beside him, "Excuse me... just kidding, you said a group of pirates attacked the Wess family's castle last night?"

"Yes, they were a group of pirates, and they seemed to be quite famous, but they were still wiped out by the Wess family!" a guest said with a light laugh.

Reina was still somewhat incredulous. How could Luffy and his crew be defeated so easily with their current strength?

After putting down the food in his hand, Reina decided to go find Luffy and his crew to see what had happened.

Meanwhile, Luffy and his crew arrived at the castle gate once again.

"Luffy, we have to take care of the enemy quickly. If Mr. Reina doesn't see us after he gets up, he'll definitely come out looking for us, and then we'll really have no way to explain it!" Jinbe said anxiously.

"Hmph! A bunch of despicable bastards, let's wipe them all out today!" Sanji said angrily.

"Failure is failure. Only the weak make excuses. The strong... just need to eliminate the enemy!" Zoro's face was also grim. They had almost failed in this place last night, which annoyed him.

"Hoo~ Enough with the nonsense, let's go!" Without another word, Luffy punched the castle gate open.

Just as Luffy was about to make his move, the members of the Weas family inside the castle also noticed their presence.

"Those guys actually dare to come looking for death?" The third son of the Weiss family, the fierce-looking man from last night, looked at his gate that had been blasted open, and immediately stood up angrily. He picked up the armor that was placed aside and was about to go out to deal with the other party.

"Nahun! Go and bring them back to me. We'll hand them over to the World Government and get a huge bounty!" Arazina Weiss, the head of the Weiss family, said to his third son with a smile.

“Let’s go with the three of them! After all, they are a Yonko pirate crew! We shouldn’t be too careless!” A woman with a stunning figure but a very ordinary appearance stood up and said.

She is the eldest sister of the Weiss family, Fantasia Weiss!

Arazina Weiss nodded and said to his children, "Go on, I'll be here waiting for your good news!"

Upon hearing this, the other children also got up, preparing to deal with Luffy and his crew who were invading.

"Boom boom boom..." Reina, who was walking towards the Wess family, heard a violent explosion coming from the direction of the castle when he was only halfway there. So he slowed down and decided to wait until Luffy and the others had dealt with the situation before going over.

After all, this is a matter for the Straw Hat crew, and if he were to interfere rashly, it would be somewhat unfriendly to Luffy.

As for the idea that Luffy and his crew would be defeated, he never believed it from the start.

"How could you possibly be... this strong?" Nahun Weiss looked at Sanji, who was descending from the sky in his battle suit, with disbelief on his face.

In just one exchange, he was not only defeated by Sanji, but his prized armor was also destroyed by Sanji.

"Strong? I was just warming up! You're already down? You're so weak!" Sanji said softly, lighting a cigarette, without even glancing at Nahun Weiss lying on the ground.

His only goal was to find Nami and Robin, who had been captured. That's why he spared the guy's life. Otherwise, given Sanji's strength in his Raid Suit, the guy would probably be barely breathing by now.

“No…impossible…last night we beat you like rats!” Nahun Weiss said in disbelief.

"If you hadn't used poison last night, and if we hadn't had that idiot captain here, would you have succeeded?" Sanji felt a surge of anger as he recalled what happened last night.

Luffy, that idiot, found a bottle somewhere, and when he opened it, it turned out to be filled with poison gas, instantly knocking everyone, including Chopper, out of the game.

If Chopper hadn't carried some antidotes with him, they probably would have been completely wiped out.

This ability to infect their entire crew at once is something even the enemy doesn't possess, yet Luffy managed to do it.

Nahun Weiss, of course, knew nothing of this. All they knew was that when they met Luffy and his crew, the latter seemed to have no legs and were very easy to deal with.

So I thought the other party's strength was just so-so.

"Tell me... where are our comrades who were captured by you last night?" Sanji, who had taken off his battle suit and was smoking a cigarette, asked softly.

He suddenly felt that using a combat suit to deal with such an enemy was a waste, because it was completely unnecessary.

"Cough...cough cough...in...in the dungeon!" Nahun Weiss answered easily, just as Sanji had thought; the other party was not a tough nut to crack at all.

Unable to satisfy the other's desires, Sanji asked for the location of the dungeon, then kicked the other away and headed towards the dungeon.

Just before entering the building, he saw a powerful slash that seemed to be about to split the castle in two.

"That idiot with the green hair, if Nami and Robin get hurt, I'll kick you to death when I get out!" Sensing that the castle might be collapsing, Sanji quickly started running and rushed towards the dungeon.

He knew his companions were just as furious as he was because of what happened last night, so they would definitely be more aggressive in their attacks. However, the dungeon was located beneath the castle, and if the castle were destroyed, Nami and Robin might get hurt.

Just as Sanji had guessed, Zoro slowly sheathed his weapon after unleashing his attack. Before him lay the second son of the Weas family and his wife.

"Tch~" Zoro curled his lip in disdain and prepared to leave.

Such an opponent doesn't even give him the right to take things seriously.

But the thought of almost having a mishap here last night made him feel uneasy, and his brain even began to automatically delete the events of last night.

Apart from Luffy, who was wandering around the castle, the rest of the group basically dealt with their respective opponents directly. Even Usopp, the weakest of them all, took down one of the enemy's executives.

By the time Reina arrived at the castle, the Straw Hat crew had already almost completely destroyed the Weasley family's castle.

"I say... what the hell are you guys doing? Didn't you say you were only going to take their treasure? You're going to wipe them out!" When Reina came over, he saw Nami angrily scolding Luffy, so he walked over in confusion and asked.

"Hehe..." Robin chuckled but didn't reply.

The others, however, evaded the question and did not answer Reina's inquiry at all.

Seeing this, Reina didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Have you finished your business? If you're done, why don't you go to the back mountain and look for clues?"

Chapter 1237 Searching

Reina's question elicited various expressions from the Straw Hat crew. In the end, Nami said helplessly, "We didn't get any treasure. The entire castle was destroyed by Luffy and Zoro, and the treasure is buried underground!"

"Pfft, hahaha..." Reina burst into laughter upon hearing this, then said to Nami, "How about this, let's go find the legendary tower first. If we can't find the tower, we'll come back and clear out these ruins to search for the Wes family's treasure!"

Seeing this, Nami had no choice but to agree to Reina's suggestion, but she continued to blame Luffy and Zoro along the way.

However, the two guys were already seasoned veterans and completely ignored Nami's presence, with only Sanji constantly clowning around for Robin and Nami.

Before long, a group of people arrived at the back mountain. Just as the residents had said, it was an ordinary mountain with nothing unusual about it.

"Perhaps we should wait until the night of the full moon?" Nami thought for a moment and then said, "Isn't the legend that the tower can only be seen on the night of the full moon?"

"Then when are we supposed to wait?!" Luffy immediately protested.

He couldn't stand being stuck on this island forever.

"The full moon will be in three days!" Robin said with a light laugh.

She had already investigated when she first heard the legend.

“In that case, let’s come back in three days!” Reina shook his head and replied.

So the group returned to the inn, but soon Nami left with a reluctant Luffy and Zoro, followed by Sanji, who had volunteered to join them.

Reina knew without a doubt that they had gone to clear the ruins of the castle.

As for whether they could gain anything, Reina didn't care.

He recently began training his eye power according to the method Robin taught him, and the rate at which his eye power increased significantly, which made him train even more diligently.

When his eye power is sufficient to unleash the Rinnegan, that will be the time for them to retaliate against the extraterrestrial visitors.

Three days later, as night fell, Reina and the Straw Hat crew had already arrived at the back mountain, waiting for the tower to appear.

But when the moon was high in the sky, they still hadn't found any tower.

"Robin, we've been searching for so long, but we still haven't seen any tower! Have we been tricked?" Luffy had lost patience and asked Robin.

Robin shook his head and said, "Indeed, we didn't find any towers!"

She had already used her abilities to search the entire mountain, but indeed found no tower.

Reina frowned. Since there was such a legend, and Robin said that she had found someone who had been to the tower and returned successfully, then there should be no mistake!

"Why did this become a legend? If a tower appeared every full moon, it shouldn't have become a legend!" Reina asked Robin.

Robin nodded and replied, "Because for over a decade, very few residents here have seen the tower. Before, everyone could see it on every full moon, but now, apart from a few unlucky or very lucky people, no one can see it anymore!"

“But on the night of the full moon on this island, people still occasionally disappear, so the legend has persisted, as if those who disappeared were summoned to the tower!” Nami added.

"So, only specific people, or those who travel to a certain area, can see and discover the tower?" Reina guessed.

"In that case, why don't we just walk along the entire mountain and find it? This mountain isn't that big, is it?" Sanji said casually, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

In his view, it doesn't matter what he does as long as he's with his friends.

"What do you think, Luffy?" Nami asked Luffy.

After all, Luffy is the captain, and only he can decide the direction of the crew. Although he is usually unreliable, the power that belongs to him will not be contested by the others.

But after Nami asked the question, Luffy didn't answer, and it was only then that everyone realized Luffy was gone.
