Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Whitebeard glanced around and saw that everyone was already sprawled out. He laughed a few times before nodding and letting the people around him help him away.

Meanwhile, Reina, who was at the Whitebeard Pirates' temporary front-line base, also received news that the Beasts Pirates had dispatched troops.

"Hey~ Looks like Kaido's a bit unwilling!" Reina chuckled and asked Sachi, "Is there any movement from Big Mom's side?"

“No, it seems they have no intention of sending troops!” Sachi shook his head and replied with a relaxed expression.

After recuperating on Xuan Yue Island for a period of time, he returned to the front line to take charge of the overall situation. Especially during the time when Reina was away, it was basically Sachi who handled things.

When Reina returned, he also stayed at home to practice his eye techniques, but at least Sachi had someone to talk to.

“That’s strange. If it were me, I would also choose to send troops at this time, and the sooner the better! This way, at least the world will know that their strength has not declined, and that not just anyone can offend them!” Reina frowned and said, “If they miss this opportunity, it will be very difficult for them to prove themselves again. After all, they are now essentially trapped in the North Sea by us!”

Sachi nodded and said, "Perhaps Big Mom has other plans! She is Big Mom's pillar of support. As long as she is here, the Big Mom Pirates will not fall!"

"I'm worried that what happened last time might have caused some changes in Big Mom. Tell Brulee and Brin to keep a close eye on Big Mom's crew. If anything seems amiss, report it immediately!" Reina said after thinking for a moment.

"So what do we do? Should we take this opportunity to launch an attack on the extraterrestrials as well?" Sachi asked Reina.

“No need!” Reina shook his head and replied, “The Beasts Pirates alone cannot shake the extraterrestrials. Moreover, the intelligence says that Kaido has not even made a move, which means that the extraterrestrials are also more than capable in terms of high-end combat power. If we attack at this time, we will not gain any advantage at all!”

Sachi already knew all this, but he wanted to see if Reina had any other opinions, so he asked.

"So, shall we proceed according to the usual plan?" Sachi said with a smile. "Those three Vinsmoke family lads haven't returned from the front lines lately! Judge helped us a lot before, and if things continue like this, it might be difficult to explain to Judge!"

Reina rolled his eyes and replied with a smile, "It's not like we forced them to go. They're bored staying here, and I think Judge knows that too, otherwise he would have come to me to plead for them long ago! But to avoid him misunderstanding, you can pass on a message to him, ask for his opinion, and express our concern!"

Sachi gave Reina a strange look before turning and leaving.

Only Reina could handle this kind of thing with such ease; the captains didn't have such a meticulous mind.

After Sachi left, Reina breathed a sigh of relief and went straight into the Tower of Trials.

During this period, he wasn't constantly training his eye power; instead, he would occasionally enter the Tower of Trials to earn points while also honing his strength.

He will only begin cultivating his eye power after he emerges from the Tower of Trials to recuperate, which will save him more time.

Moreover, he discovered that he could also cultivate his eye power inside the Trial Tower, and that the effect of cultivating his eye power was even better due to the suppression of the Trial Tower.

That day, as Reina emerged from the Tower of Trials and was recuperating while cultivating his eye power, Brulee found him directly.

"Why are you here? Is there something important?" Reina asked in surprise, looking at Brulee in the mirror.

“Yes, Mr. Reina, we’ve found an important guy!” Bry nodded excitedly and replied.

"Who?" Reina asked curiously.

“Caesar! M. Caesar Courant!” Brûlée replied immediately. “Do you know him?”

"Caesar? You actually found his whereabouts? This guy is no ordinary person!" Reina exclaimed in surprise. "Where is he now?"

M. Caesar Clown, who claims to be a scientist on par with Beckpunk and also boasts of being the number one expert in killing weapons. He was once the leader of the PH Force, a former member of the Navy's "Science Unit," and a former colleague of Vegapunk. Now, he is a wanted mad scientist and a user of the Gas-Gas Fruit.

He is arrogant and believes that his experiments will never fail. He is better at killing than anyone else. Like Judge, he hates Vegapunk. However, Judge no longer has the ambition to compete with Vegapunk, so the two are relatively harmonious in the laboratory on Crescent Moon Island.

Moreover, as a scientist who was once sponsored by the Big Mom Pirates, he secretly provided Big Mom with a lot of scientific research.

“Our people in the New World have discovered his whereabouts, and he now appears to be working for the New World’s underworld!” Bry said in a deep voice.

"The underworld? Those rats can now be on the surface? Sakazuki probably won't allow them to exist, right?" Reina said with a light laugh.

“Yes, because of the Navy’s crackdown, the underground forces in the New World are very weak now. However, Caesar’s business seems to be doing quite well. He specializes in providing weapons to pirates and criminals!” Brûlée nodded and said, “And he is also very careful. So far, we have not found his lair, only his whereabouts!”

After thinking for a moment, Reina asked, "Has this information been reported to the captain?"

“Father knows, but he doesn’t seem interested in him, so I came to report to you!” Brulee nodded and replied.

"Hmm! Given Big Brother's personality, he certainly wouldn't be interested in him. However, Judge and Old Man Beric might be interested. Tell them the information and see how they react! Also... try to find Caesar's lair. Although he's not great, his abilities are still quite good!"

Chapter 1252 Information about Brulee

After receiving Reina's order, Brulee did not delay and returned directly from the Mirror World to Crescent Moon Island.

Because there are no mirrors in the laboratory area, she cannot go directly to the laboratory from the mirror world. She can only go back to Xuan Yue Island first and then go to the laboratory.

However, even before she arrived at the laboratory, she had a bad feeling.

To enter the laboratory, you first need to enter the Terror Forest, which is Olga and Perona's territory.

However, as the former master of the Temptation Forest, she was not afraid of this terrifying illusion at all; on the contrary, she felt somewhat familiar with it.

"Hehehe..." Walking through the terrifying forest, Brulee suddenly laughed eerily for some reason, startling the ghosts that were about to appear.

"Hara hara hara..." Little ghosts appeared from all directions, surrounding Brulee.

"Is that Perona? Is this your ghost? It really suits the terrifying forest perfectly!" Brulee said with a smile as she looked at the ghost that had appeared.

"Are you Charlotte Brûlée from the intelligence department? Why are you here?" A ghost resembling Perona emerged from the depths of the forest, approached Brûlée, and asked.

“Lord Reina sent me to find Mr. Judge and Dr. Vegapunk!” Brûlée said without further ado.

"Eh? Did Lord Reina send you?" She had originally planned to tease Brulee, but upon hearing that Reina had ordered her to come, she immediately abandoned her little scheme and said softly, "Come with me!"

Led by Perona, Brûlée quickly traversed the terrifying forest, but her feelings were quite different from when she first entered, as she now felt a sense of fear towards the forest.

Perona brought her in; if she had entered this forest on her own, she probably would never have been able to get out.

Perona seemed to sense Brûlée's nervousness and said with a sly laugh, "Heh heh heh... Don't be nervous, we won't attack our own people here!"

If this had happened when Brulee first joined the Whitebeard Pirates, she would definitely have believed Perona. But now she's the head of the intelligence department, so she naturally knows how many people were tied up and thrown out of the Horror Forest, and she also knows where the Horror Forest got its name.

Seeing that Brûlée didn't reply, Perona pursed her lips and said nothing more.

But just as Brûlée arrived at the laboratory entrance, she suddenly said to Perona, "Did you and Miss Olga build this forest? That's really amazing!"

"Hooray hooray hooray..." Perona couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this, and said, "Why don't you join us? I feel you'd be a better fit for us!!"

Bry shook her head and replied, "If I hadn't joined the intelligence department, I would definitely have agreed! But since Dad has placed so much trust in me, I must reciprocate his trust and Mr. Reiner's trust!"

As Brûlée walked into the laboratory, Perona smiled and beckoned her ghost to slowly depart.

"Vice Minister Brulee, hello! May I ask what brings you to the lab? According to your authority, you are only allowed to move around on the perimeter of the lab!" As soon as Brulee entered the lab, a robot immediately stepped forward and asked.

These are robots created after Vegapunk arrived. Now, some simple tasks in the laboratory have been handed over to these intelligent robots. The people who originally did these tasks have either returned to Crescent Moon Island or been absorbed into the laboratory, freeing up a large number of manpower.

Although Bry's official position is to oversee the intelligence department, she and Bryn are nominally only deputy ministers, subject to Laco's control, which is why the robot said that.

"Contact Mr. Judge and Dr. Vegapunk for me. I'm here on the orders of First Lieutenant Reyner!" Brûlée replied, standing still instead of moving forward.

The robot seemed to be giving a report, and after a moment it continued, "I have contacted Dr. Vegapunk and Dr. Judge. They are heading to the outer bar area. You can come with me!"

As she spoke, the robot turned and began to move towards the bar. Brûlée followed immediately, and she noticed that another robot came over and took over the job of the previous robot, standing guard at the entrance.

Soon, led by the robot, Brulee arrived at the bar, where many researchers were drinking and relaxing. Behind the bar was another robot whose job was simply to serve the guests. Since this place was part of the laboratory, researchers could come here for free. All their expenses were recorded by the robot and then deducted from their salaries.

"Is this Miss Brulee? What brings Mr. Reina here?" Just as Brulee sat down, Judge walked out from the passageway inside the laboratory and asked with a big smile.

Brûlée quickly stood up, nodded, and said, "Yes, but Dr. Vegapunk hasn't arrived yet. I'll explain everything when he gets here!"

"Okay!" Judge nodded and then greeted the robot at the bar, ordering some drinks.

Soon, Vegapunk, dressed in his research suit, also came out. However, he seemed to be thinking about something. After coming to Brûlée's side, he picked up Judge's drink and drank it in one gulp, which displeased Judge.

"Cough cough..."

"Excuse me, is this Brulee? What do you want?" Vegapunk only realized what was going on when he heard Judge cough and spoke to Brulee.

Bruyne didn't mind and said directly, "It's like this, our intelligence department recently found Caesar's whereabouts, M. Caesar Courland!"

Brulee's words made Vegapunk and Judge both frown, and they both looked at Brulee at the same time.

"After I reported this to the first mate, the first mate asked me to come and ask for your opinion, to see if it's necessary to recruit him!" Bry quickly asked with a smile.

"Recruit him?" Both of them were somewhat surprised.

“As far as I know, Caesar excels at weapons research!” Judge pondered for a moment before speaking, “If Mr. Reina needs anything, please let me know, and I think I should be able to do it!”

“That’s right, that guy is a serial killer!” Vegapunk nodded and said.

"So... your opinions are unnecessary, is that how I understand it?" Brulee asked after thinking for a moment.

"This..." Judge hesitated. If it were the Germa Group, he would definitely oppose contacting Caesar. But this is the Whitebeard Pirates. Caesar certainly has abilities, and he is definitely no weaker than him.

If he objected, it would seem as if he were jealous of someone's talent, so he was at a loss for words.

"With our limited resources, if we were to recruit Caesar, we wouldn't have enough resources and funds to support his research!" Vegapunk finally spoke up.

“Okay, I understand! Also, the first mate means that I should find Caesar first, and we can talk about the rest later. However, your opinions are also very important, so if you have any thoughts on this matter, you can contact me at any time!” Upon seeing this, Brulee stood up and said to the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Vegapunk left immediately. He still had important experiments to complete and didn't have time to discuss Caesar's issues.

Judge nodded to Brulee, indicating that he understood.

Chapter 1253 Judge's Worries

After Brûlée left, Judge considered it for a moment and then contacted Reyner directly. He was unsure why Reyner had sent Brûlée to ask him. If she just wanted to inquire about Caesar's abilities, then his and Vegapunk's answers would obviously be incorrect, which made him somewhat uneasy.

"Ah~ Don't worry, I had Brûlé ask you. I just wanted to tell you this information, since he used to be your colleague. I wanted to see if you were interested in him. If you're not interested, then I can do whatever I want with him!" Reina answered Judge's question with a smile.

This also relieved Gaji.

"By the way, Ichi and the others have been fighting on the front lines the whole time. If we let them come back to rest, they'll immediately throw themselves back into battle after their rest. Is that really okay? Although they are indeed very strong, wouldn't prolonged fighting put a lot of strain on their bodies?" Reina asked just before hanging up the phone.

"It's alright, Captain Sachi has already contacted me. If they want to fight, let them fight! This is the time for them to prove their worth!" Judge replied nonchalantly.

Reina frowned, wanting to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to start.

This is ultimately a matter for the Vinsmoke family, and as an outsider, it's best for him not to interfere.

After ending the call with Reina, Judge could finally relax.

However, both Sachi and Reina brought up his children's affairs. Although he didn't think it was a big deal, Sachi and Reina had already talked to him about it, and it wouldn't be good if he didn't take it seriously.

After greeting Dr. Assie, Judge also got up and headed to the front lines. He planned to personally visit his children and see what they were doing there.

On the other hand, Reina, who has returned to normal training, is improving his eye power every day, but there is still a considerable gap between him and breaking the seal.

"First mate!" That day, Reina, who had just finished his training, was strolling around the front-line base when he encountered Judge, who was on his way to the front.

"Mr. Judge, what brings you here?" Reina asked in surprise.

“My rebellious sons have been on the front lines, and thanks to your care, I’ve come to see them!” Judge said with a smile.

"Hahaha... I finally see some family affection in you!" Reina laughed and patted Judge on the shoulder, saying with a smile, "Sometimes strength doesn't mean everything. You've been with our Whitebeard Pirates for so long, you should know a thing or two, right? Ichiji and the others are all very talented, and they've recently shown some humanity. I think that's what makes them grow. As their father, you can't hold them back!"
