Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Chapter 1243 Memories of the Past

Seeing Robin standing there in a daze, Reina smiled and said, "Do you have a lot of questions? Don't worry, we have plenty of time to talk about them!"

Robin looked at Reina, trembling, and asked, "So... back then, it was the World Government who kidnapped Mother and handed her over to Vice Admiral Garp, and you, Father, came to rescue her!?"

Reina nodded and replied as he walked toward the naval branch, "Yes, that old geezer was too strong, and I was too hasty, so I fought him right here on this island. In the end, I couldn't beat him and he captured me!"

Robin quickly caught up with Reina, glanced at Garp who was standing motionless at the gate, and asked, "Are we really going to see Mother?"

"I'd better see it. If this damn illusion dares to play me, I'll make it regret creating such an illusion!" A cold glint flashed in Reina's eyes, and his killing intent surged forth, immediately alerting Karp on the other side.

"Sorry, don't be nervous! I always keep my word!" Reina glanced at the astonished Garp and said with a smile.

As Reina and his companion entered the Marine branch, Garp's adjutant, Pocato, asked in surprise, "Sir, are we really just going to leave them like this?"

"My mission is just to capture pirates, that woman isn't a pirate! When the World Government asks, just say someone rescued her while I was fighting Reina!" Garp said dismissively, curling his lip.

Upon hearing this, the adjutant nodded to indicate that he understood, but he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, why do I feel that Reina seems to have changed a lot?"

"There is a big difference. The killing intent he released just now made me a little scared! Maybe it has something to do with his changed appearance, or maybe he used some secret technique to stimulate his strength. As for the price..." Garp thought for a moment and then said.

“If that’s the case, we really can’t fight here!” said the adjutant, Pocato.

"Hahaha..." Garp laughed and said, "This kid has always been like this, and so has the entire Whitebeard Pirates. They never bother with the weak, so what he said earlier is true! If I insist on not releasing them, he will definitely make a move, and then this island... I'm afraid it will really be finished!"

"But who is the woman next to him? Why does she look so familiar?" Bocato pondered for a moment before saying.

"Whoever it is, it has nothing to do with me!" Garp waved his hand and said indifferently.

On the other side, when they arrived at the room where Olvia was being held, Reina became even more nervous. Even Robin could feel that her father's hands were trembling, something she had never seen in all the years she had known him.

"Father!" Robin stepped forward and pushed open the door in front of him.

Because he had been here before, Reina knew that Olvia was here, which is why he brought Robin directly over. As for the guards at the door, he had already knocked them unconscious.

"crunch..."

Robin opened the door, and inside stood a woman with long white hair, staring in astonishment at Robin's sudden entrance.

"It's...it's true..."

"Olvia!"

Before Robin could finish speaking, Reina, who was standing behind Robin, shouted in a trembling voice.

"You are... Reina?" When Olvia saw Reina, she only recognized him for a moment before her expression changed drastically, and she asked urgently, "What happened? Why do you look so much older?"

Robin looked at his anxious father's mother, and then merged with the mother from his childhood memories, and finally couldn't hold back his tears.

"Hahahaha... Olvia, I've finally seen you again! Do you know how much I've missed you?" Reina's laughter jolted Robin awake. Looking at her father laughing through his tears, she suddenly felt a sense of happiness—the happiness of their family of three, a scene that had appeared countless times in her dreams.

"Reina, what's wrong? What happened?" Looking at the agitated Reina, Olvia was completely bewildered. She didn't understand why her lover had suddenly aged so much and was talking nonsense. They had only been separated for a short time!

"Alright, alright..." Reina didn't explain, but just nodded while looking at Olvia in front of him, saying, "Seeing you makes this trip worthwhile! By the way, Olvia, you've already given birth, right? You left little Robin in Ohara? And you even kept it from me!? I had no idea Robin existed!"

As Reina chattered on and on, he held Robin's hand and continued, "Come and see! This is what our daughter will look like when she grows up. Doesn't she look a lot like you? But her hair is like mine! It's not white like yours, otherwise she would look exactly like you!"

Olvia stared in shock at Reina and Robin, who had been pulled over by Reina.

She didn't know how Reina knew about Robin's existence, nor did she know why Reina said the woman in front of her looked like their daughter when she grew up.

But she had a gut feeling that Reina wasn't lying, that what he said was true.

Seemingly sensing her mother's confusion, Robin smiled slightly and explained what had happened. She had already noticed that her father was so agitated that he was somewhat at a loss for words, which was why he was speaking incoherently.

"So this is an illusion? I'm not real?" Olvia looked at Robin in surprise and asked, "So you really are what little Robin looks like now? You found Reina? You've reunited as father and daughter?"

Robin nodded and replied with a smile, "Yes, after you died, Father made a blood feud with the Navy and the World Government. The warden of Impel Down, who accidentally caused your death, has been hunted down by Father for many years. He even almost broke into Impel Down several times!"

Reina didn't say anything, but just watched the mother and daughter talking with a big smile on his face. At this moment, he felt a lot of happiness.

"I'm so sorry, child!" Olvia said, her face still streaked with tears as she stroked Robin's face as she listened to Robin's story, even though she only briefly mentioned her own childhood.

One can only imagine what kind of life a little girl lived, without a father or mother, and later even her hometown of Ohara was destroyed.

"Mom!" Finally, Robin couldn't hold back her tears and burst into sobs, burying her face in Olvia's arms.

Reina's eyes welled up with tears again. Robin's childhood was too tragic to continue talking about here.

"Knowing that you and your father can recognize each other, I'm relieved! I'm also very happy to see you grow up. However, since this is an illusion, you shouldn't stay here too long. Leave as soon as possible!" Although Olvia was a little reluctant, she still said.

"Father!" Robin couldn't help but tremble. She had finally been able to enjoy this happiness, and she didn't want to lose it like this!

Chapter 1244 Before the Final Battle

"Father!" Robin looked at Reina with longing; she didn't want it to end so soon!

Reina gave a wry smile and said, "Although this moment was bound to come sooner or later, it's definitely not now, so... Robin, you spend some time with your mother! I'll go out and take care of that old geezer outside first!"

"You mean Lieutenant General Garp? He's very powerful!" Olvia said worriedly.

"Hahaha... He really is powerful. Back then, I almost got beaten to death by that old geezer when I came to save you! But I'm not afraid of him now!" Reina said with a laugh.

"Mother, please rest assured, Father is very strong now!" Robin reassured her with a smile.

“Okay, then Robin and I will wait here. If you get caught by Vice Admiral Garp again, we'll go to Impel Down together!” Olvia said firmly.

Olvia's words reminded Reina of what happened back then, and his murderous aura suddenly surged. He said in a deep voice, "This time... let's see who dares to hurt you! Impel Down... humph!"

The murderous aura emanating from Reina surprised Olvia. Although Reina was a pirate, she knew that he was not a man who killed indiscriminately. However, the murderous aura emanating from Reina was so strong that he must have killed many people!

This discovery caused Olvia to blame herself, believing that her death was the cause of Reyner's drastic personality change and that he had become the way he was.

Robin, who was standing nearby, noticed Olvia's surprise and then smiled and whispered to her that her father had been spending a lot of time in the North Sea recently, resisting the extraterrestrial invaders, which was why there was such a strong killing intent.

“Our father is now the savior of the world. Before we came here, he had just defeated the extraterrestrial visitor, the Destroyer, who was their frontline commander!” Robin said proudly.

Olvia affectionately patted Robin's head and whispered something to her.

Reina watched the mother and daughter talking and couldn't help but smile knowingly. He glanced at the Navy not far away, then stood up and said, "Robin, take good care of your mother. I'll be right back!"

“Yes, Father, please be careful too!” Robin nodded and replied.

“If… if anything goes wrong, you can use your Sharingan. Your safety is the most important thing!” Reina hesitated for a moment before saying.

Robin nodded without saying anything.

Watching Reina leave, Olvia looked at Robin and asked curiously, "Did you inherit your father's Sharingan?"

“Yes!” Robin nodded, pursed her lips, and replied, “The Sharingan is the best way to break through all illusions!”

"That's wonderful! It's a pity I can't see it!" Olvia said with a smile. "But I'm already very content to have had Reina. Now that I've seen you and know that you're living well, I'm relieved!"

Since Robin said that the Sharingan is the nemesis of all illusions, then when she sees the Sharingan, that's when this illusion will disappear.

"It would be even better if you could stay with us all the time!" Robin said softly, leaning against Olvia.

“Impossible, children! Since you know this is an illusion, you shouldn’t stay here! You have your own lives to live!” Olvia replied with a smile.

Robin didn't answer Olvia, but simply lay in her mother's arms with her eyes closed. Let her father worry about this; all she wanted to do now was enjoy her mother's love.

At this moment, she finally understood why Reina was so excited and nervous after learning that this was the West Sea Naval Branch.

If she were to encounter the mother created within this illusion, and that mother was primarily driven by the illusion's will, she wouldn't even exhibit her current state; instead, she would simply destroy her.

She believed her father thought the same way, which was why Reina had said earlier that he hoped he wouldn't disappoint him.

But now... if it weren't for the fact that it was an illusion, Robin would definitely think that the person in front of her was her mother, because she fulfilled all of Robin's fantasies about her mother.

On the other side, after leaving the room where Olvia was being held, Reina went straight to Karp.

"Aren't you going to send her away first?" Karp asked curiously.

“There’s no need!” Reina shook his head and replied, “Once I defeat you, no one here can stop me! And if I am defeated by you, then there’s no point in them going anywhere else!”

"Hahaha..." Upon hearing this, Garp laughed and gave Reina a thumbs up, saying, "No wonder you're a hero of the sea, you really have guts!"

“I’m not familiar with this place, so you can pick a spot!” Reina replied with a slight smile.

"Alright!" Garp didn't waste any words and said to his adjutant, "Find a ship and take us to the nearest deserted island. Then you all stay far away. No matter who wins in the end, all you need to do is bring the victor back!"

“But sir…” Garp’s adjutant was about to say something, but Garp stopped him with a wave of his hand.

“Do as I say. If even I can’t stop him, then all of you combined are no match for him. It’s pointless!” Garp shook his head and said softly.

"Sigh..." Garp's adjutant sighed and replied, "I understand, I will carry out your instructions!"

Soon, a naval warship brought Garp and Reina to the nearest uninhabited island. The island wasn't very big, but it was big enough for the two of them to fight.

"Then let me see just how strong the Navy's top-tier combat power really is! Garp, I hope you'll go all out! Of course, I'll also show you the strength that deserves your full effort!" The two arrived at the center of the deserted island, and Reina said softly.

Garp smiled noncommittally.

Seeing this, Reina didn't waste any words. He first summoned Hyōrinmaru, and then made Hyōrinmaru transform into human form.

“Hyōrinmaru…fusion!” Reina said softly.

Hyōrinmaru, now in human form, roared and transformed into a giant ice dragon, hovering above Reina's head. The sky darkened, the temperature dropped, and Garp's expression grew increasingly serious.

However, the changes on Reina's side did not end there. After hovering above Reina's head for a moment, the huge ice dragon swooped down and crashed directly into him.

Suddenly, a bright blue light emanated from Reina, turning the already dark sky blue.

"Is this your trump card? It's quite exciting!" Garp looked at Reina's changes, not afraid, but even more excited. He hadn't fought a decent opponent in a long time.

Since Roger surrendered, Garp has been without an opponent, so the power that Reina is showing now is a pleasant surprise to Garp.

Chapter 1245 Reina VS Karp

By the time Reina finished transforming, a thin layer of frost had formed on the ground of the entire deserted island.

However, Garp, who was standing opposite him, was completely unaffected.

"Then let's officially begin!" Reina waved his hand, and a Hyōrinmaru made of ice appeared in his hand.

He didn't use Senbonzakura. Although using Senbonzakura would have allowed him to unleash a stronger attack, it would have actually hindered Reina's ice abilities, making the conjured Hyōrinmaru a more useful alternative.

Reina will only use Senbonzakura when it is the last moment and a more powerful attack is needed.

Seeing Reina make a move, Garp didn't hold back either. He ripped off his cloak of justice and threw a punch at Reina.

"boom!"

"Hey~"
