Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"So far, we haven't found any clues, have we?" Reina asked, holding the Den Den Mushi.

The major powers in the North Blue engaged in battle with the extraterrestrial visitors early this morning, so Reina also dispatched Whitebeard's pirate crew at the same time to seal off the entire sea area, not even sparing the seabed.

The Naga led the Fish-Men on a constant patrol of the seabed, giving the extraterrestrial visitors no chance whatsoever.

"The chances of them leaving from our side are slim, right? With our strength, most extraterrestrial visitors wouldn't choose our side!" a captain said with a smile.

"Don't be careless. Whether they come to our side or not, with the captain at the front, there shouldn't be a big problem!" Reina said seriously. "But if our negligence leads to an elite squad of extraterrestrials invading, then we'll be in big trouble!"

"Don't worry, First Mate, we won't be careless!" the captains said through their respective Den Den Mushi.

"Then I'll leave it to you all!"

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Reina slowly stood up and looked out the window.

He did not participate in the patrols because he was to stay here and be able to rush over immediately if any extraterrestrial visitors were discovered in any direction.

But before Reina could receive any news, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the direction of the small island in the extraterrestrial visitor center, shooting straight into the sky.

"What on earth is going on?" Reina was quite surprised as he looked at the beam of light outside the window.

Everyone in the North Sea, except him, discovered the pillar of light. They understood that it must have been created by extraterrestrial visitors, but they did not know what the purpose of the pillar of light was.

“This thing… seems familiar!” Reina frowned as he stared at the suddenly appearing beam of light.

He quickly recalled that when Luffy's Straw Hat crew came to their Whitebeard Pirates, a similar pillar of light had appeared, along with those extraterrestrial visitors.

At the same time, those who saw the pillar of light, just like him, also thought of the pillar of light when the extraterrestrial visitors descended, and their expressions became solemn.

"Good heavens, it seems the extraterrestrials are really planning something big!" On the battlefield, Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, said to Sabo beside him, "Have our patrol troops been arranged yet?"

“Everything has been arranged. If the other side really appears in our defense zone, we will definitely find them!” Sabo nodded and replied, knowing that the situation seemed to have become serious.

Like Reina, although they also chose to believe the World Government's intelligence, they did not expect it to be so serious. However, when the pillar of light appeared, Dragon knew that he had underestimated the operation of this extraterrestrial visitor.

Meanwhile, on Big Mom's territory, Katakuri also discovered a dazzling pillar of light.

"Those guys... aren't planning on starting a full-scale war, are they?" Smoothie asked Katakuri beside her, looking on with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

"Probably not. Even if they resurrected the Destroyer, their current forces are simply not enough to eliminate us! Don't forget that the World Government and the Navy haven't deployed any troops here. Although Sengoku's Coast Guard is part of the Navy, the real elite Navy forces aren't here!" Katakuri shook his head and said.

"But... what exactly does that beam of light represent?" Smoothie asked after a moment's hesitation.

Katakuri shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but I do know... we can't stay here and watch the show any longer! Get everyone moving. If we spot their elite squad, fire a signal flare immediately. We're not far from the Coast Guard and Whitebeard Pirates' territory; they'll send people over!"

“Okay!” Smoothie nodded and immediately turned to give the order.

Meanwhile, BIGMOM, who was still locked in his room, would sometimes show a cruel expression and sometimes a look of pain on his face.

"Give up the resistance! You're no match for this body... Lingling!"

"No... I won't give up, and I won't be deceived by you again! I will take back everything that belongs to me!"

"Oh my god... Is that so? Then let's wait and see! Don't forget, I am you, and you are me! Oh my god..."

BIGMOM, whose expression kept changing, seemed to be talking to someone, but although the room was dimly lit, there was no one else besides BIGMOM herself.

Temporary frontline garrison of the Navy Guard.

"I never expected to see this celestial phenomenon again!" Staff Officer He said with a light laugh as he looked at the pillar of light in the distance.

"It seems the World Government isn't as indifferent to extraterrestrial visitors as we thought. Perhaps they know more than we do!" Sengoku replied softly.

"What's the use of just knowing? Those short-sighted fools, if it weren't for the extraterrestrials pushing them to the brink, I don't think they would have agreed to our conditions!" Staff Officer Crane said with dissatisfaction.

"No matter what, we absolutely cannot let the elite team of extraterrestrial visitors break through our defenses!" Sengoku shook his head and said, "If what the Five Elders said is true, and they can obtain our fortune not only by occupying our territory, but also by killing people from our world... then we absolutely cannot let them enter our heartland!"

Staff Officer He nodded and said to Yun Que beside him, "Make the arrangements and have each unit act according to the plan!"

"Yes, Chief of Staff!" Yun Que saluted and turned to leave.

Sengoku watched Hibari leave, smiled, and said, "The children have grown up after all! From now on, we'll rely on them!"

"Hehe... Her? She's still a long way off! By the way, where's that Garp guy? Where did he go?" Staff Officer Tsuru said with a smile and a shake of his head.

Upon hearing Staff Officer Tsuru's question, Sengoku replied helplessly, "That guy can't stay here any longer; he's already gone to the front lines! So I left Kuzan and Issho behind to do patrol work. They're more reliable than that Garp guy!"

"Hehehe... His current strength is probably not much worse than his peak, right? I really didn't expect that others would only increase their strength after obtaining the power of luck, but he actually increased his lifespan!" Advisor He said with a smile.

"I reckon it's about time!" Sengoku replied with a smile. "Among the old guys of our generation, none of them can rival him anymore, but that kid Reina... who knows!"

Staff Officer Tsuru nodded and said, "Reina's background is a bit strange. According to the intelligence we obtained before, it seems that the people in his family have a special bloodline. His so-called Sharingan is the ability of this bloodline. Nico Robin is his child and has inherited his ability! This kind of ability is very troublesome! However, I don't think I have heard of such a thing before him!"

"Regardless, let's focus our attention on the extraterrestrial visitors for now!" Sengoku nodded and said, "Once we've repelled them, we probably won't have to worry about them anymore!"

Chapter 1274 The Worries of the Warring States Period

All the major factions showed considerable vigilance at the sudden appearance of the pillar of light.

Especially when the outsiders' offensive intensified that day, they knew that the enemy's elite squad should be deployed.

Reina, who was stationed on the second front-line island, notified all the personnel on patrol outside the front when he received news that the attack from the extraterrestrial visitors had intensified. He told them to pay close attention and also connected to the surveillance eagle's perspective.

Although he guessed that the other party would not pass through the Whitebeard Pirates' defense zone, no one could be sure of such a thing. Perhaps the other party intended to take advantage of their mindset and pass through this way when they were careless.

"Lakuyo, haven't you received any news yet?" Whitebeard, who was stationed at the front line, asked Lakuyo beside him.

The extraterrestrial visitors' fierce attack had been going on for an hour. Logically speaking, their elite squad should have already started moving. However, neither Reina's side nor the other forces reported any discovery of the extraterrestrial visitors' elite squad, which made Whitebeard feel that something was wrong!

“No!” Lakyo shook his head and replied, “The liaison office is in contact with all the major powers, but there’s been no news yet!”

"That's strange! Their offensive has slowed down, which means they've almost completed their mission, but we still haven't found any trace of their elite squad!" Whitebeard said, frowning.

Lakyo was also somewhat helpless. He didn't know what to do about this, since the information was first leaked by the World Government.

"Lakuyo, contact Sengoku and ask them what's going on!" Whitebeard said immediately when he saw that things seemed to be going badly.

“Okay, Dad!” Upon hearing this, Lakyo turned around and walked towards the temporary communication room behind him.

"This is the Warring States period!"

Soon, Sengoku connected to the Den Den Mushi.

"Lord Sengoku, I am Lakuyo, the captain of the 7th Division of the Whitebeard Pirates!" Lakuyo introduced himself first, and then said, "Our extraterrestrial forces seem to have lost their previous intensity, and Reina's side hasn't found their so-called elite squad either! Do you have any intelligence on your side?"

Sengoku sighed and said, "Our situation is similar to yours. Although the main force of the extraterrestrial visitors has not yet retreated, their offensive has indeed slowed down considerably! In addition, we have blockaded the entire front-line sea area, but have not found any trace of the extraterrestrial visitors!"

"Then why don't you contact the World Government? The intelligence came from them, and they refuse to disclose the source of the intelligence. Shouldn't they step forward and give an explanation at this point?" Lakyo said in a deep voice.

Sengoku was silent for a moment before speaking, "Hasn't this matter already been discussed? In order to avoid misunderstandings, there is a last line of defense composed of the Navy and the World Government in the Calm Belt and Reverse Mountain. If anything happens on their side, we will send a message immediately!"

"So... what exactly is the target of these extraterrestrial visitors? This kind of defense without a clear objective is completely ineffective. Only by knowing their objective can we implement targeted defenses! If they break through all our defenses... your World Government and Navy will be left to face a powerful enemy alone!" Laco said in a deep voice.

As agreed, they would not leave the Beihai area in the short term.

However, according to the World Government and the Navy's arrangements, the extraterrestrial visitors' target was clearly no longer within the North Sea!

Lakyo's words left Sengoku speechless. The World Government must want to draw on the strongest warriors from the major powers of the North Blue to help eliminate the elite team of extraterrestrial visitors.

However, to prevent surprise attacks from extraterrestrial visitors and other issues, they certainly won't easily deploy their forces.

The consequence of this is that those powerful extraterrestrial visitors will have to be dealt with by the Navy and the World Government, with the Navy possibly sending some powerful individuals to help.

The Navy and the World Government did not know how powerful the extraterrestrial visitors were, but how could Sengoku, who was on the front line of the war in the North Sea, not know how powerful the extraterrestrial visitors were?

However, the World Government decisively rejected his proposal, as they did not believe that the World Government's elite squad was powerful enough to be beyond their ability to withstand.

Even the Warring States period was helpless against such a "pig teammate".

The silence of Sengoku made Lakyo realize that Sengoku's status in the World Government was probably not as high as they had imagined.

"No wonder the World Government fell for Reina's obvious scheme. Mr. Sengoku, if I were you... I wouldn't continue to be someone else's watchdog!" Lakyo left these words and then hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Sengoku gave a wry smile to his advisor, Tsuru, and said, "Although I know this was intentional, why do I still feel so uncomfortable? Wasn't it the same when I was the Fleet Admiral? But I could ignore the pirates' words then, but now I feel angry!"

“Because… your location is different now! So your form is naturally different too!” Staff Officer Crane shook his head and replied, “Alright, there’s no point in talking about this now. Let’s think about how to find the elite team of extraterrestrial visitors! If we can’t find them, and they break through the North Sea region, the consequences will be too severe!”

"Do you also think that the Navy and the World Government can't withstand it?" Sengoku asked, looking at Staff Officer Tsuru.

"We both know the navy's combat strength. Putting aside Venerable Extinction and his group, just the level 30 and above powerhouses are already extremely troublesome! Ordinary soldiers don't pose much of a threat to them. At least a vice admiral-level powerhouse is needed to pose a threat to them, and those title holders... without the strength of an admiral, they simply cannot fight them!!"

Staff Officer He shook his head, sighed, and said:

“We have Garp, Kuzan, and Issho, but every time we face an attack from extraterrestrials, the three of them have to be at the forefront, otherwise the position simply cannot be sustained! But look at the Navy and the World Government. Given how much they value extraterrestrials, Sakazuki will definitely be stationed at Marineford and won't participate in the defense! That means the only Admiral-level combat power left is Kizaru and Green Bull, and one of the Admirals also needs to be stationed in the New World. In other words, the only strong fighter they can deploy is one Admiral!”

"As for the extraterrestrial visitors... look at the powerful individuals they've deployed this time. Their strength is even less than that of a normal attack! This means that a large number of powerful individuals have been drawn from them and added to their elite squads! In other words, the members of these elite squads are at least level 35 or higher, and they might even be composed of titled individuals and Venerables! Do you think Kizaru can withstand them, or Green Bull can?"

Chapter 1275 No News

After listening to Advisor Tsuru's analysis, Sengoku became even more pessimistic about the World Government and the Navy.

“Let Garp and Issho go then! As long as they can block the elite team of extraterrestrials in the North Sea, we can get more reinforcements! Once the enemy breaks through the North Sea... we'll have to send Garp and Issho. Kuzan's moves are more suitable for group battles, so it'll be more effective for him to stay here!” Sengoku said after a moment of silence.

"The two of them alone are not enough to close the gap! You should know that the other side will definitely send in a Venerable-level expert this time! If it's a Venerable-level expert, Garp can at most fight him to a draw!" Advisor He shook his head and said, "I even predict that Garp will probably not be able to stop the other side, unless... he pays a price you don't want to see!"

Sengoku remained silent, naturally understanding what Advisor Tsuru meant. Given Garp's current age, it would be dangerous for him to directly confront the Venerable One.

After a moment, Staff Officer Tsuru sighed and said, "Let Garp handle it then!"

"Perhaps we can find their trail before they leave the North Sea!" Sengoku said, still seemingly holding onto a sliver of hope. "Expand the search area!"

“If we expand the scope further… we’ll be entering the Whitebeard Pirates’ territory!” Advisor Tsuru said, frowning.

“It’s alright, both Reina and Newgate will understand at times like this!” Sengoku shook his head and replied.

Upon hearing this, Staff Officer He nodded and said nothing more.

Meanwhile, Reina, who was communicating with Brulee in the mirror, was feeling somewhat agitated because the feeling in his heart was growing stronger.

"First mate, we haven't received any unusual intelligence yet. I've been in the Mirror World the whole time, so I can know immediately if any intelligence comes from anywhere!" Brulee said softly in the mirror.

Because of her abilities, a portion of the Whitebeard Pirates' intelligence department has now been moved to her mirror world. This is not only safer, but also allows them to better assist Brulee.

“Hmm!” Reina nodded and replied, “Breeze, have them keep a close eye on her. I have a bad feeling that the extraterrestrial visitors’ purpose this time might not be simple!”

“Okay!” Brulee nodded, and was about to leave when her expression suddenly changed. She then said, “First mate, we just received news that the Coast Guard patrol force has crossed the defense line and entered our territory!”

"Hmm?" Reina frowned and asked, "Have they made any moves?"

"No, should we send someone over to test the waters?" Brulee asked in a deep voice.

"Who is closest to that side?" Reina asked after thinking for a moment.

Brulee in the mirror turned her head to the side, seemingly communicating with an intelligence officer. After a moment, she replied, "Lady Whiteybe, the Ice Witch's ship is closest to that side!"
