Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Chapter 1350 Rescue

Kaido at this moment is different from before. It seems that the passion of his youth has returned to him, which makes Reina more cautious.

With a gentle flap of his icy wings, Reina slightly increased the distance between himself and Kaido, as he seemed to sense a danger.

"Clang clang clang clang clang..." Kaido took the gourd from his waist, gulped down all the wine inside in one go, then crushed the gourd in his hand and roared at Reina, "Reina! This time, I won't lose to you again!"

“We’ll see!” Reina replied calmly.

"Hey!" Upon hearing this, Kaido, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, took a step and left a trail of afterimages in the air as he charged directly toward Reina.

"You're fast! But you're not a speed-type fighter!" Reina smiled slightly, nimbly dodging Kaido's attack with a shift in his figure, and immediately launched a counterattack.

"Oh!"

Kaido's spiked club blocked Reina's Hyōrinmaru, and the powerful aftershock dispersed much of the surrounding dark clouds.

"Interesting!" Reina's defensive counter-attack ability was learned from the Venerable Master, and it is quite useful against close-combat experts.

"Hey~" Kaido used the force of the recoil to spin himself up, and then swung his club at Reina again.

The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce. Although King, who was not far away, wanted to go and help, he knew that this was Kaido's battle.

Looking down at the battlefield in the canyon, the Beasts Pirates were completely suppressed by the Whitebeard Pirates. The situation on the high ground was also not ideal. Although Queen had not been slacking off, there were quite a few strong opponents, and it would not be resolved in a short time.

Without the suppression of a commanding high ground, the location they chose would be useless.

However, even if he went there now, he wouldn't be able to defeat the opponent quickly. So he turned his attention to the main battlefield of the chaotic battle in the Zhengzi Canyon. As long as they didn't collapse on the main battlefield, they would eventually be able to eliminate the enemy from the high ground.

Soon, King joined the main battlefield according to his own idea. At the same time, the melee here also allowed him to keep an eye on Kaido's battle. If Kaido was in danger, he could leave the battlefield at any time to rush to his rescue.

Jhin's addition, while not enough to turn the tide of the main battle, greatly relieved the pressure on this side, making the situation on the battlefield impossible again.

"Boom boom boom~~"

Unlike the meat grinder battlefield below, the battle between Kaido and Reina was much more intense, with explosions coming from the air every now and then.

“Brûlée, this is a good opportunity! Katakuri is unguarded, find a chance to rescue them! Don’t touch that iron cage, I suspect it’s made of Seastone!” Vista said to the mirror in his arms as he noticed that King had also joined the battle.

“Without the key, I can’t take the whole Seastone cage away! Unless I can get Katakuri and the others out, I can’t save them!” Brulee said bitterly.

She had noticed the situation there long ago, and even suspected that the key was on Jin. Without the key, she couldn't rescue them with her current abilities!

“I understand. I’ll go try and see if I can get the key from him!” Vista glanced at Jhin on the battlefield and said in a deep voice.

"Please, Captain Vista!" Brûlée didn't have any better options at the moment and could only rely on the captains.

The others also heard the conversation between the two through the shards of the mirror, so the captains began to move closer to Jhin.

Soon, King noticed something was wrong, because the Whitebeard Pirates' captains should be scattered across the battlefield so that they could better command and lead the ordinary pirates.

However, the other side is now showing signs of gathering, and they are even gathering in his direction.

"Hmph~ You want to surround and kill me? You can't do it!" Jin smiled slightly, then took to the air and moved to another location.

As Devil Fruit users with the ability to fly, mobility is their greatest advantage; they can change positions at any time before being surrounded.

“No, Jhin has noticed us. He won’t give us a chance to surround him!” Vista said, frowning.

Moreover, their unusual movements slowed down the Whitebeard Pirates' offensive considerably.

This change also made King realize that staying in one place had little impact, but moving around like this could bring more changes to the Beast Pirates.

Seeing that he had shot himself in the foot, Vista was speechless with bitterness.

Although Brûlée couldn't see the battlefield clearly because she was in the mirror world, she could sense some changes, so she obediently didn't ask Vista and the others for help anymore.

However, just when she thought that only after a decisive battle could she save Katakuri and the others, Reina contacted her using a shard of the mirror.

"Brûlée, tell Katakuri and the others to get ready. I'm going to slash in their direction and break their cages open. Tell them to be careful not to get hurt! Once the cages are broken, go and take them away immediately!" Brûlée was startled when she heard Reyna's voice coming from the mirror.

At this moment, Reina should have been engaged in a fierce battle with Kaido, yet he noticed their situation and even intended to help her, which frightened Brulee.

If this incident causes problems in the battle between Reina and Kaido, wouldn't that be terrible?

"First mate? No need for that, just focus on the battle! Once we win, we can naturally rescue Katakuri and the others!" Brûlée hurriedly came to Reina's mirror and said nervously.

“It’s nothing, just something I did on the side!” Reina replied, then ignored Brulee.

Seeing this, Brulee had no choice but to move closer to Katakuri.

"Katakuri-nii-san!" Soon, Brulee used the Mirror World to get to Katakuri and the others, but remembering Vista's words, she did not touch the iron cage.

"Brûlée?" Owen and the others were extremely excited to see Brûlée, which meant they were saved.

"Katakuri, are you alright?!" Brulee was saddened to see Katakuri and the others looking somewhat disheveled. In her heart, Katakuri had always been a proud person; when had he ever looked so disheveled?

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect the Whitebeard Pirates to attack the Beasts Pirates!" Katakuri shook his head and said softly.

“Hmm!” Brulee responded softly, “Dad and the first mate said that they attacked their allies without cause and we need to teach them a lesson! And…and…they don’t want anything to happen to my family!”

She originally didn't want to say this, firstly because she didn't want Katakuri to overthink it, and secondly because she didn't want others to think she was taking credit.

Chapter 1351 How could you do such a thing?

When Brulee explained her purpose and told them that Reina would unleash a slash that would cleave the cage open, she would then lead them away.

As for the sea stone handcuffs on their hands, we can deal with them after we leave!

Katakuri felt very embarrassed, but given the current situation, following Brulee's lead was the best option.

After everything was settled, Brûlée hid to the side, because she didn't know when Reina would make his move.

Soon, Reina didn't keep Brulee waiting. During his battle with Kaido, he deliberately adjusted his angle multiple times, launching slashes towards Katakuri. Although Kaido blocked him a few times, and his direction was slightly off a few times, Reina eventually found an opportunity and launched a flying slash towards the cage containing Katakuri and the others.

As Jin looked up from the battlefield, he felt something was off.

It's normal for there to be some aftershocks from the battle between Reina and Kaido. Even the main battlefield here is occasionally affected by the battle over there. However, Katakuri's location was frequently hit by these aftershocks just now, which gave him a bad feeling.

This flying slash, in particular, didn't seem like a move that Reina could use.

Even if this move could hit Kaido, it wouldn't be very effective against his defenses.

In a battle between top-tier experts, Reina's use of such a useless move surprised him somewhat.

But very quickly, the moment the flying slash struck the cage, Jhin knew the opponent's purpose!

"Trying to save people?" Looking at the cage that had been cleaved in two by Reina's slash, Jhin instantly understood the other party's intention.

But Katakuri and the others, besides the seastone cage, also have seastone handcuffs, so even if they get out, it won't be of any use! Reina shouldn't have done that at all.

But he soon realized he was wrong, because a swirling water pattern appeared, and Brulee emerged from the Mirror World and rescued Katakuri, who had already come out of the old dragon.

"Really... I almost thought we were doomed!" Charlotte Zickert exclaimed as she crawled out of the ruins, brushing the dust off her clothes.

He is the eleventh son of the Charlotte family, one of the thirty-four ministers, the Minister of Wine, and also one of the core cadres.

But before he could finish speaking, Smoothie said, "Be grateful you're not dead! At a time like this, you still have the mind to talk about these things?"

"Quick, everyone come here, gather together, I'll take you away!" Brûlée, who came out of the Mirror World, went straight to Katakuri's side and shouted loudly to her other brothers and sisters.

Upon hearing this, everyone ran towards where Brûlée was.

Most of the Big Mom Pirates' officers are Devil Fruit users, so they all wear Seastone handcuffs. However, given their strength, even with Seastone handcuffs, they can still move around easily.

"You actually got distracted while fighting me?" Kaido was furious when he saw Brulee appear and rescue the Big Mom Pirates from the air.

He considered Reina a serious opponent and fought him very seriously, but Reina did this during their fight.

"Oh dear~ Sorry!" Reina, realizing he had actually provoked Kaido, immediately adopted a distracted demeanor and said, "I was just doing it on the spur of the moment, I didn't expect you to actually care about this!"

When it comes to manipulating mentality, Reina is a master.

Losing your composure in battle is extremely dangerous, especially in a fight between combatants of their caliber.

Of course, anger may make you stronger, but it will make you lose the ability to plan strategically.

"hu~hu~"

Kaido, who could no longer suppress his anger, felt completely out of control.

Reina smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned.

If Kaido had teamed up with King from the beginning, even he would have had a very difficult time dealing with them. Although he wouldn't have been killed by the two of them, he would definitely have been suppressed.

However, it's unclear what Kaido's plans are, as he still chooses to fight him alone.

It hasn't been long since his last defeat, and even though Kaido seems to have improved since then, the outcome won't change.

"Let's settle this once and for all, Reina!" Kaido, enraged, had lost his patience. He knew that if the fight continued, he would still be the one to lose. So he decided to use this anger to maximize his power.

"As you wish, Kaido!" Although it would be more advantageous for him to continue dragging things out, Reina did not refuse Kaido's challenge because of his confidence in his own strength.

Kaido, who had been floating in the air, slowly descended. It wasn't that he didn't want to stay in the air any longer, but rather that he was about to launch a full-scale attack, and in his half-beast form, he was no longer able to maintain those fiery clouds.

Seeing this, Reina also descended, because he sensed that Kaido's next move would be difficult to counter, so he had to fuse with Hyōrinmaru.

During the fusion process with Hyōrinmaru, he first had to release Hyōrinmaru's Bankai state, and then Hyōrinmaru in human form would fuse with him.

In other words, when he deactivated Hyōrinmaru's Bankai state, he did not have the ability to fly.

The two's unusual behavior naturally attracted everyone's attention. In the center of the main battlefield, Vista suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Bree, have you resolved things on your end?" Bistan quickly contacted Bree.

“Yes, Captain Vista, I have successfully rescued Katakuri and the others!” Brulee replied excitedly.

She has achieved her goal here, and now she will do everything in her power to help the Whitebeard Pirates defeat the Beasts Pirates.

"Captain Vista, could you help us remove these Seastone handcuffs? If you can, we'll still have some fighting power left!" Katakuri's voice came from the mirror.

A minute ago, Vista would have been overjoyed. With Katakuri and his gang joining the fight, their battle would end much faster and become much easier.

But now, he had no interest in paying attention to Katakuri at all.

"Brûlée, get ready to rescue them. I have a very bad feeling that something is going to happen to Kaido and Reina!" Vista's voice trembled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Brulee was greatly surprised. She knew that the first mate had won the battle against Kaido!

Judging from Captain Vista's words, does that mean the first mate is going to lose?

This struck Brulee as somewhat unbelievable.
