Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

“How can you be so sure? If the Venerable Annihilator has really returned, then with two Venerable-level combatants, the extraterrestrial visitors could easily fight their way out, instead of sending a small elite force! I even suspect that this small elite force was led by the Venerable Annihilator! If that's the case, and he wants to leave... none of us can stop him!” Reina shook his head and replied.

"You can't stop him either?" Jegalsia Satan asked, frowning.

“No!” Reina shook his head and replied, “Don’t be fooled by my victory last time! That was because he underestimated my strength, and he didn’t intend to retreat. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to stop him if he wanted to leave. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been seriously injured, but dead!”

“Alright, then I’ll change my request!” Jegalsia Satan Saint pondered for a moment before speaking, “If you discover their elites, you’ll be responsible for tracking them until all our people arrive, then assisting us in eliminating them! That… isn’t too much to ask, is it?”

"By the way, can you confirm how many people are in their elite squad? And since the extraterrestrials are planning a full-scale attack to cover their elite squad, do you think I have time to track them down for you?" Reina rolled his eyes and replied.

“That’s why I’m here to talk to you,” Jegarcia Satan Saint said calmly.

Reina rolled his eyes. This kind of thing is not easy to talk about at all, because it is simple to talk about and not difficult to do, but it is impossible to do it with peace of mind.

There are too many things involved here.

First, the attack from extraterrestrial visitors will force the Whitebeard Pirates to defend with all their might. The Whitebeard Pirates have more than one island in contact with the enemy. In the past, they would choose one island to fight the enemy, but now that it is a full-scale war, they will naturally have to divide their forces to defend.

Furthermore, even if Reina discovered the enemy's elite squad, he wouldn't dare get too close, otherwise he himself would be in danger.

Finally, there's the World Government. After things are over, Reina also has to be wary of them abandoning him after he's done his bidding, which means he won't be able to go all out in battle.

Therefore, Reina would never agree to Jegalcia Satan Saint's proposal.

"We'll do our best to defend against extraterrestrial visitors even if you don't tell us, but we're powerless against their elite squads! If they appear on the battlefield, no matter where they are, I'll agree to provide support! But if they don't appear on the battlefield, then your World Government will have to deal with that headache!" Reina said after thinking for a moment.

If it were on the battlefield, Reina wouldn't have so many concerns. Even on the battlefield of the Coast Guard, Reina could fight with peace of mind, because if they dared to act recklessly, they would inevitably be targeted by everyone.

“Alright!” Jegalsia Satan Saint thought for a moment, nodded, and said, “As you say!”

"So what can you offer in return?" Reina asked, smiling at the other party.

"If you come to our aid after this battle, we will compensate you for the resources you need based on the number of troops you bring!" Jegalsia Satan Saint didn't waste any words, seemingly genuinely intending to make a good deal with Reina.

"Great! Since that's the case, I won't say anything more! As long as you can persuade the other forces in the North Blue to participate, then our Whitebeard Pirates will also join in!" Reina didn't make a definitive statement, but left a condition: all forces in the North Blue must participate.

Upon hearing Reina's words, Jegalcia Satan Saint did not object, nodded to indicate that he understood, and then left.

That evening, Robin, Jinbe, and Koala came to Reina's room one after another and told him what had happened to them during the day.

“It seems the World Government’s target this time… really is an extraterrestrial visitor!” After listening to the others’ account, Reina frowned and said, “The person I spoke with was Jegarcia Satan Saint Ben, one of the Five Elders. His goal also seems to be simply to stop the extraterrestrial visitor!”

"Tch~ The World Government still underestimates us. Only you have the Five Elders coming in person. We are just ordinary high-ranking officials of the World Government!" Koala said somewhat displeased.

“This is completely irrelevant!” Reina shook his head and said, “They must know the purpose of the extraterrestrial visitors sending an elite team, otherwise they wouldn’t be doing everything they can to stop them! If possible… we’d better find out the reason too! As long as we know the extraterrestrial visitors’ purpose, we can gain the upper hand when dealing with the World Government!”

“That’s right. They’d rather gather us rebels than give up on the extraterrestrial visitors. It seems their goal is very important to the World Government!” Koala nodded and said.

"Robin, you need to keep a close eye on the Five Elders!" Reina said softly to Robin.

“Yes! I’ve been keeping an eye on them, but they haven’t talked about that!” Robin nodded in response.

Her ability to gather intelligence is also very convenient, especially since she doesn't need to attack the target and doesn't release any energy or killing intent, making her impossible to defend against. She is even more suitable for gathering intelligence than Brulee's ability.

Because Brulee needs a mirror, while Robin doesn't need anything, as long as she's around.

With Robin's surveillance, the Five Elders can obtain information whenever they discuss this matter together.

Unfortunately, when the meeting resumed the next day, Robin's side had not made any progress.

The meeting proceeded smoothly thanks to a private compromise by the World Government. After they each got what they wanted, they agreed to work together to defend against extraterrestrial visitors.

Chapter 1269 Olga and the Sea Lizard

Just as Reina reached an agreement with the World Government and was preparing to return, a dark figure was running rapidly across the sea around Crescent Moon Island.

"Chabes... run faster, faster!" Olga shouted as she rode on the back of the sea lizard Chabes.

"Hiss~~ Hiss~~" Chabes moved swiftly across the sea, sticking out his tongue.

As a sea lizard, Chabes has the ability to walk on the sea surface, and even inside the stomach pouch of a giant lanternfish, it can run on stomach acid.

"Hahaha... This is so much fun, Chabes! It's been so long since we've run around like this!" Olga patted Chabes' head and said with a smile.

Since arriving at Crescent Moon Island, Olga has started to let Chabes roam freely, as she spends most of her time on the island, so Chabes usually plays by himself.

There aren't many sea lizards on the ocean. Besides Chabes, there's also Elizabeth, who came to Crescent Island with Dr. Asie.

Olga had also asked Reina to help her find some sea lizards, but Reina had traveled to many places and had hardly ever seen such creatures.

Therefore, the only sea lizards living around Crescent Island have always been Chabes and Elizabeth.

However, after Xuan Yue Island arrived in the North Sea this year, Olga suddenly discovered that Chabes, who had been following Xuan Yue Island around, had brought sea lizards that she had never seen before to Xuan Yue Island.

This discovery delighted Olga. After confirming the information, Olga was surprised to find that, in addition to Chabes and Elizabeth, there were more than a dozen sea lizards around Crescent Island.

Although I don't know where they came from, now that they're here, they're mine.

So Olga approached her foolish father, and together they planned out a place for the sea lizards to live on Crescent Moon Island.

Because the number of sea lizards has increased, Elizabeth and Chabes have started to form their own family. When Olga returned from her treasure hunt with Reina, she found that the sea lizard population had grown and there were many more small lizards. Once they grow up, the population will become even larger.

Olga initially let these sea lizards live here simply out of affection, because Chabes had been with her for over a hundred years, so she had a very good relationship with Chabes and consequently had a very strong liking for sea lizards.

But one day, when a captain happened to see Olga riding a sea lizard across the sea, the group of sea lizards suddenly became very enthusiastic.

At first, the captains would only borrow the sea lizard from Olga when they went out. Later, the captains started coming to borrow it as well. They really liked the sea lizard's ability to run on the sea surface, as it greatly enhanced their mobility.

As a result, Olga's tamed sea lizards became incredibly popular on Xuan Yue Island. Basically, you had to make a reservation in advance to rent them, otherwise there simply weren't enough sea lizards available.

However, no matter how popular the sea lizards were, Olga never lent Chabes out; he was her partner and her family.

"Hiss~ Hiss~" Just then, Chabes called out a few times in the direction of Xuan Yue Island, and Olga immediately understood.

"Alright, let's go! Let's go back!" Olga patted Chabes on the head and said with a smile.

She knew that Chabes missed the children on the island.

With Olga's permission, Chabes quickly led Olga toward Crescent Moon Island.

Currently, on Xuan Yue Island, besides the pregnant sea lizards, there are only the immature lizards. The rest of the sea lizards have been borrowed by members who need them.

When Olga returned to Crescent Island, Perona was standing there, seemingly still angry.

"Perona, what's wrong?" Olga asked curiously.

"Olga~~ Don't make me stay here anymore! The sun is so strong, I'm about to die! I can only stay in the dark forest! I'm the Ghost Princess!" Perona said with a resentful look.

It turns out that ever since the sea lizards became so popular, Perona and Olga had no choice but to leave the terrifying forest and personally manage these sea lizards.

Although Dr. Assie could manage, he clearly had more important things to do, so this task could only be left to Olga. As Olga's good friend, Pero naturally couldn't escape it either.

However, Perona liked the atmosphere of the terrifying forest. Although she wouldn't get hurt outside, she wasn't happy.

Olga had known about this for a while, but Perona hadn't mentioned it, so she hadn't brought it up either. Now that her friend had brought it up, she couldn't let Perona stay there any longer.

“Alright! I’ll take care of things here. You should go back to the Terror Forest! It can’t stay there unattended for long!” Olga sighed and said.

Perona felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this and said, "There's nothing serious here, why don't we go back together?"

Olga shook her head and replied, "Not yet. Those sea lizards aren't used to it yet. Without my supervision and instructions, outsiders simply can't control them. If they cause trouble while the captains are out, that would be terrible!"

Perona thought about it and agreed, so she hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll come and help you again tonight!"

"No need!" Olga waved her hand and said, "There's not much going on here, and I'll probably just sleep here tonight! You should be careful in the Terror Forest!"

The terrifying forest is full of traps and mechanisms. Not to mention those who don't know the correct route, even she sometimes triggers the traps herself.

However, Perona didn't have this problem, because those who entered the forest were usually her ghost form, and she couldn't touch those mechanisms at all.

After explaining things to Olga, Perona happily returned to the Terror Forest.

Meanwhile, Whitebeard was on the phone with Reiner. After reaching an agreement with the World Government, Reiner told Whitebeard about the matter.

"It seems the World Government isn't as ignorant about extraterrestrial visitors as we thought!" Whitebeard said after hearing this.

“This is indeed very strange. Since they can obtain information from extraterrestrial visitors, they should obviously know more about it than we do. But how come they are not tempted at all by the power of destiny carried by these extraterrestrial visitors? Or is there some secret about this power of destiny that we don’t know?” Reina also voiced his doubts.

Chapter 1270 Assigning Tasks

Reina's doubts were exactly what Whitebeard was puzzled about. Anyone who knew about the benefits brought by the power of destiny would love them.

So what the World Government is really planning remains unknown to them. For now, however, they can only focus on the battles to come.

"Marco, assemble the troops and prepare to head to the front lines!" After hanging up Reina's call, Whitebeard began assembling his troops to prepare for deployment at the front lines.

“Yes, Dad!” Marco nodded and turned to give the order.

Like the Whitebeard Pirates, the major powers in the North Blue began to mobilize due to intelligence from the World Government.

Furthermore, after receiving instructions from Reina, Brulee also informed Katakuri of this information, warning them to be wary of attacks from extraterrestrial visitors.

As for Kaido, Sengoku sent a message to Kaido and his crew, asking them to help defend against the extraterrestrial invaders' attack.

Upon returning to Crescent Moon Island, Reina learned that Whitebeard had already led a large force to the front lines ahead of time. Instead of heading to the front lines immediately, he waited on Crescent Moon Island for the other captains and crew members.

There had been no war before, so not all the captains and crew members stayed on Xuan Yue Island. Some were fighting on the front lines against the extraterrestrial visitors, some went to various places in the North Sea to play, and some even went back to the New World to have fun.

Therefore, after Whitebeard issued the summons, only the captains and captains who were nearby rushed back immediately, while those who were far away from Crescent Moon Island were still on their way. Reina was waiting for them.

After waiting for three days on Xuan Yue Island, most of the captains and captains had returned. Except for a few captains who had taken their pirate crews to the New World and could not return, the rest had either followed Whitebeard to the front lines or joined up with Reina on Xuan Yue Island.

"First mate, please look. Originally, our territory consisted of four small islands bordering the extraterrestrial forces. However, we have already handed over one of these islands to the Big Mom Pirates, and another island has been given to other forces, turning it into the chaotic place it is now! Currently, we can only directly fight the enemy on two of these islands!" Frank pointed to the North Blue map in the conference room and said to Reina, "Currently, Old Man has led the crew to this island!"

Both islands marked by Frank border the extraterrestrials' territory, but the island where Whitebeard is currently located is more prominent. If the extraterrestrials want to attack, they will have to take that island first.

Otherwise, if they bypass that island and attack another one, Whitebeard and Reyna could then attack from both sides, leaving them no room to retreat.

Although the extraterrestrial visitors possessed teleporters, the Whitebeard Pirates also have them, so in terms of support energy, both sides are roughly equal.

Once the battle is decided, their rearguard will not have time to activate the teleporter. In addition, both sides know that the other has a teleporter, so at the start of the battle, they will definitely destroy the other's teleporter first.

Therefore, whether it's the Whitebeard Pirates or extraterrestrial visitors, they all need to leave a way out for their people. This is why Whitebeard concentrated his people on that small island.

“But now, according to the vice-captain’s intelligence, the enemy is likely to send an elite squad to penetrate our defenses. So we must arrange for people to patrol all the front-line areas, and we must also station people on this small island behind us. In case of any situation, we can set off from here, whether it is to provide support or to launch a strong attack. It is more suitable!” Frank said, making marks on the map.

Everyone nodded, then looked at Reina.

Frank simply explained the situation to them; the actual personnel allocation would be handled by Drena.

"Originally, my idea was for everyone to go to the front lines together, and we could leave that elite squad alone! However, our captain said that since the World Government values ​​that elite squad so much, perhaps once we capture them, we'll learn some of the World Government's secrets! So... I will personally oversee the second front line, and you... will be stationed in our front-line waters. Make sure you all have enough signal flares ready, and if you spot any extraterrestrial visitors, immediately fire a signal flare to notify me!"

"Don't you dare provoke them on my own. This time, it's very likely that the Venerable One himself will lead the team. Given his hatred for our Whitebeard Pirates, if you encounter them, run immediately! Understand?!"

Reina smiled and assigned the tasks.
