Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Chapter 1249 Vegapunk's Answer

Vegapunk's words made Reina realize that the World Government was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

Although he had already taken the World Government very seriously, he now realized that he had underestimated it.

After thinking for a moment, Reina asked, "So now, does the World Government already have the ability to utilize these Devil Fruit genes?"

"It probably won't work, right? They can still use it even without the Doctor?" Robin asked, looking at Vegapunk.

Vegapunk shook his head with a wry smile and replied, "No, they can already use it. With my experimental data, any scientist with a little ability can replicate it! The World Government has taken all my experimental data, so unfortunately, if they want to use it, there's no problem!"

Reina said with a headache, "So, the World Government can create a powerful army of Devil Fruit users at any time?"

Vegapunk looked at Reina speechlessly and replied, "It's not that simple. Do you think you can just take out those Devil Fruit genes and use them? Creating those carriers is free?"

Reina pursed his lips and said, "Can't Judge and the others create clones? If the World Government also creates some clones and gives them abilities, wouldn't that solve the problem? Clones don't require many resources! It's like they're extraterrestrials!"

"First of all, the clones we create are no match for those from outer space. Their clones can house souls, and their physical strength is also very high! Why don't you try letting Judge's clone take on Devil Fruit powers? That would be a complete waste!" Vegapunk said disdainfully. "If the World Government had the technology of those from outer space, would we be fighting to the death here?"

Reina sighed, finally understanding what Vegapunk meant.

Robin comforted him, saying, "Father, the doctor is right. It's not a good thing for someone to have their soul imprisoned!"

“I know, I’m just a little unwilling!” Reina said with a wry smile, “Olvia…”

Before Reina could finish speaking, Vegapunk asked curiously, "You want to resurrect your wife?"

Reina chuckled and recounted the events, which piqued Vegapunk's interest. He said, "I see. It seems that tower is quite interesting. It's a pity you couldn't bring it back!"

“I reckon that thing is either an ancient invention or something created by nature. If it doesn’t want us to find it, we really won’t be able to find it anytime soon. I don’t have time to waste there, so I came back!” Reina said with a smile.

Vegapunk nodded and said, "If we can figure out the principles, the defense system of Xuan Yue Island will be even more perfect! But it doesn't matter, the defense system of Xuan Yue Island is already very strong!"

Thanks to the design by the Doctor and Reina, the defense system of Xuan Yue Island is now indeed very strong. As long as there are captain-level members left on Xuan Yue Island to prevent the enemy's top experts from breaking through to the core area, then Xuan Yue Island will almost never be breached.

However, the defense system of Xuan Yue Island is not yet complete, and even if it is, there is no castle that will never fall.

After leaving the laboratory, Robin planned to go back. Her original purpose in coming here was to resurrect her mother, and now that the result was in, there was no need for her to stay any longer.

"Go see your brother first, then go back!" Reina patted Robin on the shoulder and said with a smile, "If he finds out you came to Xuan Yue Island and didn't even go see him, he'll be angry!"

Robin smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.

After returning, Reina continued to cultivate his eye power, striving to break the seal as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Big Mom and Kaido, who were rescued by the Revolutionary Army, have also begun to build up their territory.

Dragon asked Whitebeard for a front-line island, and together with their own, they gave one to Big Mom and one to Kaido, so that they had a place to stay.

However, both Whitebeard and Dragon tacitly ceded the islands on the periphery, which indirectly led to Big Mom and Kaido's territories being surrounded by various forces. If they wanted to expand, they had to seize territory from the extraterrestrial visitors.

"Katakuri, how many of the lost members have we found?" Big Mom asked her second son, half-reclining on her simple throne.

With the eldest son Perospero missing, Katakuri is currently handling the main affairs of the pirate crew, while Big Mom's main focus is on recuperation.

"Mom! After we came back, some members received the news and returned on their own initiative. Other members are still missing. We don't know if they died in the last battle or if they went into hiding!"

"Hmph! Trying to run away? They're all members of my Big Mom Pirates, whether they live or die here!" Because of the Brulee sisters' affair, Big Mom was extremely disgusted by this kind of thing. In the past, she wouldn't have bothered with it, but now she was very sensitive to it.

Katakuri had already guessed this, so he treated those he captured who were relatively cooperative as if they had returned voluntarily, so that Big Mom wouldn't kill them.

“Mom, our manpower is gradually returning, but we are still somewhat lacking in troops. Should we expand outwards?” Katakuri hesitated for a moment before asking.

BIGMOM shook his head and replied, "Don't rush, Katakuri! We're surrounded by those guys. Except for the direction of the extraterrestrials, they won't give us any chance! But fighting the extraterrestrials won't be easy!"

Although Big Mom still seemed as bold as ever, Katakuri could clearly see the apprehension and a hint of fear in her eyes when she said those words.

The power of the Destroyer and the Guardian seems to have left a deep impression on Bigom.

Seeing that Big Mom had no intention of expanding, Katakuri didn't say anything more and simply turned and left.

"Katakuri-nii-san!" When Katakuri came out, he was stopped by Smoothie, who had been waiting outside.

"Hmm?" Katakuri turned around and saw that besides Smoothie, Daifuku, Oven, Montor, Cracker, Snack and others were all there. It seemed that they had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Is Mom still concerned about those who ran away?" Smoothie asked softly.

Katakuri nodded without saying a word.

“But they only fled after we were defeated. With their strength, they would have been doomed if they hadn’t fled!” Smoothie said softly.

“You and I both know all this!” Katakuri sighed and said, “So when I reported to Mother, I only said that some of them had returned, not that we had captured them! And…”

Katakuri didn't finish his sentence; his mother was somewhat reluctant to continue fighting the extraterrestrials, but he didn't voice it.

Chapter 1250 Kaido's Decision

Hearing Katakuri's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Big Mom's temper had become even more erratic, and even her children couldn't figure out what their mother was thinking.

Katakuri sighed and said, "Everyone should rest well these days and not disturb Mom!"

"Okay!" Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood.

Unless it's something important, they don't want to get close to BIGMOM at all, because it means they could lose their lives at any moment.

Big Mom is now somewhat irrational. Only Katakuri, with his strength, can protect himself in front of Big Mom. He can dodge when Big Mom goes berserk and wait for Big Mom to return to normal.

Katakuri, upon returning home, looked quite grim. Big Mom now possessed only Yonko-level combat power, but no longer had the abilities of a Yonko.

However, Katakuri is completely powerless to change the current situation. Not only is he no match for Big Mom, but even if he could, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

The Big Mom Pirates are already in dire straits, and Big Mom is their only pillar of support. If he rebels again, the Big Mom Pirates will have no choice but to disband.

More importantly, he dared not tell anyone about this.

On the other hand, the Beasts Pirates were in a much better situation. Although they suffered greater losses, with most of their officers and members either fleeing or dying, in addition to their core officers.

However, Kaido didn't care at all. As long as he was still around, the Beast Pirates would not disappear. With the help of King, Queen, and others, the framework of a Yonko pirate crew was quickly built up.

The entire North Blue is now a paradise for pirates, with a large number of pirates from the New World coming to the North Blue, so their manpower is not a problem at all.

"Governor, shall we go and get revenge on those bastards?" Queen asked in a deep voice as he saw the Beasts Pirates regain their strength.

He had never suffered such a loss in his entire life. Even during his battle with the Straw Hat crew on Onigashima in Wano Country, he hadn't been this humiliated.

If it weren't for Kaido's protection, he would definitely have died on the central island. Therefore, taking revenge on the extraterrestrial visitors is the thing he wants to do most after regaining his freedom.

He has already redeveloped several viruses, just waiting for Kaido to lead them to get revenge!

However, Kaido still hesitated, not because he was afraid of the extraterrestrial visitors, but because the Beasts Pirates were currently short of manpower.

Although they have recruited a lot of pirates again, they have not yet fully subdued these pirates. If a real war were to break out, they would likely be a disorganized mess.

He wouldn't have to worry about these things if it were a war with other forces, but extraterrestrial visitors are not so easy to bully. If they were to lose the first battle, it would definitely be a blow to the Beast Pirates.

"Governor, I also think we need a battle to hone our skills! Let those who are still watching know that our Beast Pirates haven't collapsed yet!" King said in a deep voice, "However, Governor, you shouldn't participate in this battle! Without your participation, I don't think the extraterrestrial visitors would send a Venerable. Venerable Destroyer was defeated by Reina before, and now is the perfect time for us to strike. We don't need to seize the island, just a victory will suffice! With Queen and me taking action at the same time, there shouldn't be any problems!"

Kaido pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed to King's suggestion.

First of all, he didn't participate, which means that even if he were to lose, it wouldn't affect the entire Beasts Pirates. He is the pillar of the entire Beasts Pirates, and as long as he doesn't fall, the Beasts Pirates haven't fallen yet.

In addition, this battle also showed the world that the Beasts Pirates still have the courage and strength to continue fighting.

After receiving Kaido's approval, King and Queen began to make arrangements for the attack.

The Beasts Pirates have three core members, the Three-Handed Generals. However, Jack the Drought was defeated and killed in the last battle, so there is now one vacancy among the three members.

Although Kaido has not yet arranged for anyone to succeed Jack, King has secretly leaked information that this last position of the top commander requires both strength and battle achievements, otherwise the position will remain vacant.

This was a message he deliberately leaked after reporting to Kaido, in order to make his subordinates fight even more bravely.

As for the final spot on the big signboard, King doesn't care. Who gets it is Kaido's business, and it has little to do with him.

Speaking of Jack, King actually quite liked him. He was a brainless idiot, and although he was a bit weak, he was obedient. Jack usually did the dirty and tiring work that King and Queen didn't want to do, and he respected King very much.

Unlike those bastards from Flying Six, who aren't very capable but are always eyeing his position.

But it's pointless to talk about this now, because Jack is already dead.

Before long, the Beasts Pirates were ready to set off, and led by King and Queen, they headed toward the island of the extraterrestrial visitors.

Aside from the Beasts Pirates, the only other group currently at war with the extraterrestrials is the Coast Guard, and even then, they are mostly just training their troops. Other forces, including the Whitebeard Pirates, have only had minor skirmishes with the extraterrestrials, without any real war.

Therefore, the movements of the Beasts Pirates immediately attracted the attention of various major forces.

They hadn't expected Kaido to send out his troops so quickly.

Xuan Yue Island, Banquet Square.

Whitebeard and his captains are currently holding a banquet in the banquet square.

The banquet has been going on for three whole days, but Whitebeard is still here, so the banquet is not over yet.

Their banquet would only truly end when Whitebeard announced its conclusion.

"Dad!"

But at that moment, Laqué ran towards them, carrying something in his hand.

"Thump!" Without saying a word, Whitebeard placed a large glass of wine on the table and gestured for Lakshmi to drink it.

"Glug glug..." Lacjo didn't waste any words and downed the wine in his glass in one big gulp.

"Dad, Kaido has launched an attack!" After finishing his drink, Lakuyo wiped his mouth and handed the intelligence report to Whitebeard.

"Oh?" Whitebeard, who had been drinking for three days and three nights, was clearly out of sorts. He didn't take Lakshmi's information and instead asked, "Who does he plan to target?"

"An extraterrestrial visitor!" Laco was dumbfounded. At this moment, besides attacking an extraterrestrial visitor, would Kaido dare to attack anyone else?

Chapter 1251 The Former Scientist

"Tch~" After hearing Lakshmi's words, Whitebeard curled his lip in disdain and said, "I thought he was going to send troops against us!"

Laco's face immediately darkened, and he replied, "Dad, how could the Beast Pirates possibly attack us at this time?"

"Alright, you guys handle this yourselves! Where's Reina? I haven't seen that kid for days. Did he go to the front lines?" Whitebeard shook his head to clear his mind and asked.

Laco nodded and replied, "After Robin left, he went to the front lines, but I heard from the brothers there that he seems to be in seclusion!"

"That brat! Good thing he ran fast! Glug glug glug... Is anyone still sober? Keep drinking!" The white-bearded man laughed as he raised his already full glass.

Seeing this, Rakuyo helplessly gave his companions a look. Everyone knew that Whitebeard's body was not suitable for such heavy drinking, so they all pretended to be unable to continue drinking with Whitebeard and collapsed on the ground.

"Father, everyone is exhausted and needs to rest. You should go and rest too!" Lakyo said as he stepped forward.
