Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Even so, you can't drink too much! Didn't Supervisor Frank and the captains stop you? If so, I'm going to report this to the first mate!" Bry said persistently.

"Gurararara... If they hadn't stopped me, I guess I wouldn't be able to answer your Den Den Mushi right now! Let's get down to business! Is something wrong?" Whitebeard said with a smile.

"Here's the thing, Dad! I came to the Big Mom Pirates today because Katakuri invited me..." Brulee briefly explained what had happened, without mentioning that she had been bullied. She only said that Katakuri had invited her, hoping to get help from the Whitebeard Pirates through her.

"Linlin... she's become mentally unstable now?" Whitebeard didn't answer directly, but said with some emotion, "Those guys who once roamed the seas have all grown old! Whether it's Roger, Shiki, Kaido, or Linlin!"

“Dad, have you forgotten that Garp once displayed his might and beat up the Master! He’s from the same era as you, and he’s not old at all! But as for Mom… sigh! I don’t know what to do. Katakuri asked me to ask the Whitebeard Pirates for help. They don’t want to kill Mom, but to control her. It’s really not a good way for her to live like this!” Brulee said sadly.

“I understand. Since you're the one who asked, and it's Linlin, it probably won't be very effective for ordinary people to go there. Marco and the others can't suppress her! If we don't kill her, only I or Reina can do it! Go contact Reina! If he doesn't have time, come pick me up, and I'll go with you personally!” Whitebeard thought for a moment and then said.

Chapter 1319 Gap

After receiving Whitebeard's promise, Brulee hung up the Den Den Mushi with satisfaction, but only then did she realize that everyone, including Katakuri, was looking at her strangely.

"I never imagined... that my sister would become so accomplished. You can even speak to that man who is known as the strongest man in the world on equal terms!" Katakuri said with a look of satisfaction.

Brulee, a little embarrassed by Katakuri's praise, whispered, "It wasn't an equal dialogue, it was a request! Whitebeard rarely refuses our requests. According to him, joining the Whitebeard Pirates means we're all family, and we can use his name to do whatever we want on this sea! Hehehe..."

“That’s really great!” Katakuri replied with a smile.

He didn't believe Brulee's story. It would be strange if just anyone could claim to be Whitebeard!

Of all the pirates under Whitebeard's command, there were very few who could truly command Whitebeard's personal attention!

The way the others looked at Brulee changed. If Whitebeard had actually agreed to it, then if they had really attacked Brulee before, they would have had to bear Whitebeard's wrath.

Given their current condition, let alone if Whitebeard came in person, they couldn't even hold off half of the captains who came.

"Um... Brulee! What are you doing in the Whitebeard Pirates now? Aren't you an intelligence agent?" Smoothie asked somewhat awkwardly.

“I am an intelligence officer!” Bryne nodded with a smile and said, “However, the first mate values ​​my and Bryne’s abilities more, so after the test, I am now the head of the intelligence department, and Bryne is the deputy head! She recently received a mission from the first mate, so she personally led a team to another place, which is why she couldn’t come!”

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped. What did it mean to be the head of the intelligence department of a pirate crew? It meant that she was now definitely a core member of the Whitebeard Pirates, and a rather important one at that. No wonder Whitebeard said he would come personally after she spoke.

Aside from Katakuri, no one else knows Brulee's true identity, which is Katakuri's way of protecting her.

After all, she is now an important member of the Whitebeard Pirates. If she continues to have ambiguous relationships with them, it could be very bad!

"Whitebeard actually trusts you this much?" Montor said, somewhat incredulously.

Given his personality, he would absolutely not agree to hand over such an important department to an outsider; that would be utterly reckless.

Not to mention Brûlée, whose full name is Charlotte Brûlée, who is BIGMOM's daughter, his own daughter!

"Alright, let's not talk about Brulee's identity anymore. Consider this a debt we owe her. From now on, don't contact Brulee privately. Brulee, you shouldn't have too much contact with us either. Since Whitebeard trusts you so much, don't betray his trust. Even if you don't say anything when you contact us, it's still not good!" Katakuri waved his hand, stopping everyone from continuing to talk about Brulee.

Upon hearing Katakuri's words, everyone realized that Brulee was no longer the same as them. They were no longer members of the Four Emperors' pirate crew, while Brulee was a core member of the Four Emperors' pirate crew. Their statuses had changed.

“That’s not true at all, Katakuri!” Brûlée shook her head and said, “Neither the vice-captain nor the old man actually object to me continuing to associate with you. According to them, we are siblings. If I can abandon my own family, then when the Whitebeard Pirates run into trouble, I might very well abandon them too! A person who can abandon even family ties doesn’t deserve to be a member of the Whitebeard Pirates!”

"And every time I contacted you, I didn't hide anything from the old man and the first mate. I even shared some information with you, and they didn't say anything. The first mate just told me to keep things in check. I definitely won't tell you information about the Whitebeard Pirates, but other information is fine!"

After hearing Brûlée's words, everyone, including Katakuri, fell silent. They hadn't expected Brûlée to say such a thing.

To be fair, if they were in Brulee's position and the captain said those words to them, they would absolutely not betray him unless there were special circumstances.

"Alright, didn't Whitebeard just tell you to contact Reina? Then contact Reina first and see what he has to say. If Reina can come over, then things will become much simpler!" Katakuri clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

Brulee shook her head and said, "Katakuri, you'd better not make such a plan. The vice-captain needs to stay at the front-line base and probably won't have time to come over! Although he's closer to us, he probably won't have the time. As for Dad, the captains won't let him take action. Dad was also injured in the previous battle, so I guess Captain Marco will come over with a few captains to help!"

She knew about Reina's injury, but this kind of information couldn't be leaked, so she didn't say it outright. Instead, she said that Reina needed to stay at the front-line base and didn't have time.

Hearing Brulee's words, everyone understood. After all, given Whitebeard's status, it really wasn't appropriate for him to come, otherwise they would owe him too much of a favor. Marco's presence would be more suitable.

In terms of strength, Marco is not bad either, especially his immortal flames, which have both offensive and healing abilities, making him a versatile character who can fight and heal.

Furthermore, Brulee also mentioned that Marco was probably not the only one who came; he brought several captains with him. The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates are quite powerful, and the captains he sent to the front all possessed strength comparable to that of a Marine Admiral.

Even a captain ranked lower can definitely be used as an elite vice admiral in the Navy. Of course, this does not include elite vice admirals like Garp, whose strength is such that even an admiral is no match for him.

So Katakuri smiled and told Brulee that it was alright, and she could just contact Reina without worry.

So Reina dialed Reina's Den Den Mushi directly, but it wasn't Reina himself who answered; it was Sachi, the captain of the Fourth Division.

Chapter 1320 Reina's Inquiry

"Is that Brulee?" A voice that Brulee didn't recognize came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Huh? Isn't he the first mate?" Brulee asked in surprise.

“It’s me, Sachi, the captain of the Fourth Division!” Sachi said with a smile.

"So it's Captain Sachi. Is the first mate here?" Upon hearing this, Brulee didn't ask any further questions but instead inquired directly.

"That kid just recovered and he can't wait to start cultivating! Is there something you need from him?" Sachi said with a smile.

However, Brulee's heart tightened upon hearing this, fearing that Sachi might say something he shouldn't, so she quickly said, "I'm with the Big Mom Pirates right now, and I have some questions for the vice-captain!"

Then, Brûlée explained the situation and told Sachi that she had already reported to her father, who had told her to ask Reina for his opinion.

"I see! But as you know, if Reina goes to train, who knows when he will finish!" Upon hearing this, Sachi understood the unspoken message in Brulee's words and stopped mentioning Reina's injury.

“Then there’s no other way. I’ll have to ask Dad!” Brulee nodded and said.

But just as Brulee was about to hang up the Den Den Mushi, Reina's voice suddenly came through the Den Den Mushi.

"Is that Brulee? I'm Reina!"

"Huh? First mate? Didn't you go to train?" Brulee asked in surprise.

"I did go to train, but I didn't feel anything during today's training, so I ended it early!" Reina said with a smile. "I heard about it from Sachi, so are Katakuri and the others with you now?"

“Yes, Katakuri and the others are here!” Brûlée glanced at Katakuri before nodding and saying.

“Give him the Den Den Mushi, and let me talk to him!” Reina said with a smile.

“Okay!” Upon hearing this, Brulee handed the Den Den Mushi to Katakuri.

“Mr. Reina, this is Charlotte Katakuri!” Katakuri didn’t waste any words, took Brulee’s Den Den Mushi and spoke directly.

"Katakuri, I won't beat around the bush with you. Since Brulee brought this up, the Whitebeard Pirates have no reason to stand idly by. After all, we truly consider her family. So, what's the situation on your end? I hope you can tell me the truth! I'll consider it and send reinforcements accordingly! But there's one thing I must make clear: we're not helping you, we're only helping our own members!" Reina said directly without wasting any words.

Upon hearing this, Katakuri immediately understood Reina's unspoken meaning. To put it nicely, they were there to help Brulee, and if Brulee was unwilling to help them, they couldn't do anything to her, otherwise they would face attacks from the Whitebeard Pirates.

Clearly, Reyner is different from Whitebeard; he had already guessed that Brulee might not be treated well after arriving here, so he made a special effort to support her.

"Of course, she's my own sister!" Katakuri wasn't angry; instead, he felt somewhat pleased because both Reina and Whitebeard truly considered Brulee one of their own, otherwise they wouldn't have said such a thing.

Katakuri smiled slightly as he looked at Brulee, who seemed to know nothing at all. This silly little sister seemed to have already found her future.

At this moment, Brûlée was completely unaware of Reina's implied meaning. Her current concern was to prevent the news of the first mate's injury from being exposed, so she listened to Reina and Katakuri's conversation with great tension.

In Smoothie and Montordi's eyes, it was Brûlée who was nervous because she hoped Reina would take this matter seriously, so they quietly put aside their slight prejudice against Brûlée.

After Katakuri recounted the situation to Reina, Reina remained silent for a moment.

“BIGMOM is not so easy to deal with. Although her mental energy is somewhat chaotic right now, she is still a Yonko-level fighter. If you rely solely on the two of you and Marco, it will be difficult to contain her! And have you thought about where you will imprison BIGMOM in the future? The island you are on now is definitely not suitable! Not to mention that extraterrestrial visitors may attack you at any time, you don’t even have a cell there that can contain BIGMOM!” Reina said after thinking for a moment.

Katakuri didn't hide anything and said directly, "Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit has a great influence on us. If Captain Marco is willing to come, only he and I will be the main attackers. The others can probably only help out at most! In addition, we will prepare a sleeping potion. After Mom is too weak, we will feed it to her and then find a way to send her back to Whole Cake Island, where there is enough space for her to live!"

He didn't say he wanted to imprison Bigom, but rather that he hoped Bigom would live on Whole Cake Island.

But Reina knew that they must have some means on Whole Cake Island to limit Big Mom.

“Ordinary sleeping pills won’t work! Bigom’s body is extremely strong; sleeping pills probably won’t even have half the effect on her!” Reina shook his head and said, “So you’d better have another way to transport Bigom, otherwise you’ll be in big trouble if she wakes up halfway!”

"This..." Katakuri was indeed in a dilemma. After all, Big Mom was their mother. It wasn't that they didn't have safer methods, but they just didn't want to use them on their own mother.

"Katakuri-nii, how about we imprison Mom in my Book World and release her when we get to Whole Cake Island?" Mont-d'Or suggested.

Katakuri shook his head and said, "Your book world can't hold Mom! Once she regains consciousness, she can break free at any time!"

With his Conqueror's Haki, Big Mom could indeed easily break through the barriers of the Book World if there were no other restrictions.

“Then… what about adding Seastone? First, use the sleeping potion, then use the Seastone chains to imprison Mother in the Book World. That should work!” Smoothie said from the side.

Reina did not participate in their discussion; he simply listened from the sidelines.

Finally, Katakuri agreed with Smoothie's approach, believing it to be sufficient.

However, after they finished their discussion, Reina added, "You'd better come up with an emergency plan. It would be safer to have an emergency plan in place if all your plans fail!"

When Irving, Mondor, and the others heard Reina's words, their eyes flashed with a sharp light, and they understood what Reina meant.

They have many methods that are inconvenient to use on BIGMOM, but they can still be used as emergency plans. If an accident happens, they won't have time to worry about those things!

However, they certainly wouldn't bring this up here, so after nodding to Katakuri, Montord didn't say anything.

Katakuri said to Reina, "Don't worry, my sister has an emergency plan!"

“Then there’s no problem. By the way, when do you plan to make your move?” Reina asked with a light laugh.

“Once your men arrive, we can make our move!” Katakuri replied in a deep voice.

“Okay… have Brûlée come pick me up! I’m at the Whitebeard Pirates’ front-line base!” Reina said, and then hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Brulee looked on incredulously. Even Katakuri and the others hadn't expected that Reina would agree to come in person.

Chapter 1321: The Operation Begins

After Reina hung up the phone, Bry thought she had misheard, since she thought Reina had been seriously injured.

The Big Mom Pirates felt that the Whitebeard Pirates really valued Brulee. Whitebeard had previously said he would come in person, and now Reina was saying the same thing.

The happiest person was Katakuri; with Reina coming, everything would be foolproof.

So when Brulee saw that the Den Den Mushi had been hung up on, she was still a little dazed, so she asked, "Brulee, how long does it take you to get here?"

"Huh?" Brûlée only realized what Katakuri was talking about when she heard his question. She smiled and said, "It'll be quick. If I use the Mirror World, it'll take about ten minutes!"

In reality, it would only take her seven or eight minutes to get back to the Whitebeard Pirates' base from here. She asked for more time not because she was wary of Katakuri, but because she wanted to discuss with Reina some more. If Reina's injuries hadn't fully healed, he shouldn't rush over here.

That's why I deliberately said a few minutes more than the allotted time.

However, Katakuri and the others did not know that Brulee's abilities had been greatly enhanced, but she had never shown it to outsiders. She still relied on mirrors to enter the mirror world. In fact, after her abilities awakened, she no longer needed mirrors when she returned to the mirror space, because she could create mirrors herself.

After Brûlée left, Katakuri turned to the others and said, "Don't make things difficult for Brûlée anymore. A lot of the information we have now comes from Brûlée telling me privately. Otherwise, given our current situation, we'd be practically blind. I also haven't told you that she holds a captain-level position in the Whitebeard Pirates, because I was afraid that if you found out, you would go looking for her. She already has her future, so don't come back to this mess!"

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, but Montord was somewhat unconvinced and muttered under his breath, "Now that she has such abilities, why doesn't she come back to help us?"

"Fool!" Katakuri's smile vanished as he said to Mont-d'Or, "You really think Brulee has gained an ability? No, it's just that her ability is perfectly suited to the Whitebeard Pirates, and they've found a platform for her. Believe me, as soon as she returns, her intelligence-gathering ability will be immediately rendered useless, because we simply don't have a platform big enough for her to utilize her abilities!"
