However, considering the severely damaged Impel Down behind him and the resulting casualties, Garp had no intention of continuing the attack.

Moreover, given Reina's condition, it was unclear whether he could survive. Therefore, Garp did not choose to pursue Whitebeard and his crew. Instead, he ordered immediate treatment of the wounded and confirmation of the extent of damage to Impel Down, including whether it had affected the opposing prisons.

"Dad, Marco! How is Reina?" On the ship, Qiao Zi and the others looked anxiously at Reina, who had already fainted, and asked Marco and Whitebeard, who were checking on him.

“His physical strength is exhausted, but everything else is fine. However, his eyes… this is related to his abilities, and I don’t know either!” Marco shook his head and said.

"Let's go back first!" Whitebeard also checked Reina and found that apart from being severely exhausted, he did not have any serious external injuries.

Shortly after they left, reinforcements from the Marine Headquarters arrived. When they saw the destroyed Impel Down, no one could believe it; it looked as if a war had taken place there.

"Garp! What happened here?" Sengoku asked in surprise when he saw his old friend Garp.

Aside from the battle with the Rocks Pirates, he had never seen Garp like this before.

His clothes were tattered and torn; if it weren't for the overcoat covering him, Sengoku would have suspected that Garp was a beggar rather than a vice admiral.

“Reina has been rescued!” Karp said softly.

"Whitebeard? You fought with him? But..." Sengoku opened his mouth, but didn't finish his sentence.

He thought that although Whitebeard was powerful, he shouldn't have been able to force Garp to this state! Moreover, there were still strong people in Impel Down. Even if the entire Whitebeard Pirates came, they couldn't possibly have destroyed Impel Down in such a short time!

“It’s Reina! That kid seems to have awakened something strange in his abilities, summoning a giant nine-tailed fox that’s very troublesome!” Garp shook his head and said.

"What? Reina? He... he's not..." Sengoku was even more confused. Although Reina was quite strong, after they captured him, they hadn't given him a chance to replenish his strength and energy. How could he suddenly become so strong?

Garp sighed and told Sengoku the whole story.

After hearing this, Sengoku was speechless; he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

He actually knew about Olvia's presence on Cap's ship, but he didn't make it public.

He believed Karp could handle the situation, but he never expected it to turn out this way.

"Did you really kill Olvia on the spot?" Sengoku asked after thinking for a moment.

Karp shook his head and said, "I don't know. Reina went berserk at the time, and I didn't have time to check on her condition afterwards, but judging from the situation at the time, she should be..."

Garp didn't finish his sentence, but Sengoku already understood what he meant.

"And what about her body?" Sengoku looked around and asked.

"Do you think we can find it now?" Karp asked, pointing to the surrounding ruins.

"Sigh... I never expected things to turn out this way. I'll have to go back and think about how to explain this to the Marshal!" After saying this, Sengoku turned around to deal with the matter.

He could tell from Garp's injuries that a fierce battle must have taken place here just now; otherwise, with Garp's strength, he wouldn't be in this state.

Three days later, news of the great battle between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates at Impel Down spread. Rumors circulated that the entire surface buildings of Impel Down had been razed to the ground, and that the Whitebeard Pirates had summoned a giant nine-tailed fox that even suppressed the legendary Navy hero Garp.

Furthermore, the Whitebeard Pirates easily rescued their first mate, Reina, and for a time, the Whitebeard Pirates' reputation was unparalleled, with the potential to be called the world's strongest pirate crew.

"That bastard! He really does have the means to tame giant creatures! I didn't expect them to secretly fight the Navy. It seems they must have reached some kind of agreement with the Navy!" Shiki the Golden Lion's eyes gleamed with a piercing light after receiving the news.

Meanwhile, pirate crews waiting for the Whitebeard Pirates to clash with the Navy in order to take advantage of the situation all cursed the Whitebeard Pirates. They all believed that the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy had reached some kind of agreement, otherwise, how could rescuing people from Impel Down be so easy?

"A cool breeze carries tidings, the autumn moon shines endlessly, and my longing for my beloved makes each day feel like a year... Although I am not handsome or dashing, I have a broad mind and strong arms..." At the bow of the Moby Dick, Reina, his body wrapped in bandages, sat at the very front, reciting lines he had learned from watching TV dramas in his previous life, while looking out at the sea.

“Hey…do you guys think Reina is…” Lacour gestured with his hand toward his head, implying that there was something wrong with Reina’s head.

"Save your breath! Dad said he's just worrying too much, he'll be fine in a while!" Sachi rolled his eyes at him and replied.

“But… he often says things we don’t understand, but he’s never been like this, talking to himself! And don’t you think… how should I put it? It’s too calm, isn’t it? You saw what happened that day, right? I thought he would wake up and continue to fight the Navy to the death!” Laco said with lingering fear.

The main reason is that they all saw Reina's condition that day; the chilling aura emanating from him was something they could hardly imagine without seeing it with their own eyes.

"Hey~ Reina! Come and have some oden!" Oden, sitting on the deck, shouted to Reina.

"Okay! Coming!" Reina slowly got up, patted his bottom, and replied with a smile.

The group of people who were secretly observing Reina from the sidelines exchanged glances, and they all saw confusion in each other's eyes.

"Are your injuries getting better?" Tenshigetsu, sitting next to Oden, asked with a smile as she helped prepare the ingredients.

"Yes, it's much better now, but my vision is still a little blurry. It's probably from overuse before, but it's recovering!" Reina replied with a smile.

"That's good. Your condition that day really startled us! Did you summon such a huge nine-tailed fox?" Oden asked the question that everyone had been most eager to ask.

The crew members hiding nearby unconsciously perked up their ears, wanting to hear how Reina would respond.

Reina shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's not exactly something I summoned. It's a summoning technique that I can only use when my eyes evolve. I can't use it normally! And you've all seen the side effects... I can't even use my Sharingan now! I don't know how long it will take to recover!"

After hearing what Reina said, Oden opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to begin.

"Alright, all of you come out here. What were you doing hiding there?" Reina smiled and said, "I know you're all worried about me! Olvia's death was indeed a huge blow to me, but now I need to live on for her sake too. Otherwise, how am I supposed to tell her after I die?"

Lacjo and the others then emerged from their hiding place, with Olga looking both worried and grief-stricken.

She was closest to Olvia, so she was the one who was most heartbroken besides Reina.

"Rena! From now on, whenever people see the Navy, they'll kill them all!" Olga said, feigning ferocity.

“That’s unnecessary… I will avenge her! As for that poisonous man… I won’t let him off easily!” Reina said softly, a cold glint in his eyes.

Seeing Reina like this, everyone felt a little relieved. If Reina didn't care about such a deep-seated grudge, it would be very abnormal. Now that he has shown his true colors, everyone can help him out when the time comes.

Relieved, the crew members happily ate oden with Reina again, seemingly no different from before.

In the days that followed, the Whitebeard Pirates continued their adventures, experiencing the different aspects of the world. Whitebeard also continued to look after his son, and the crew grew larger and larger.

As for Reina, apart from becoming very melancholy at a fixed time every day, he is no different from before.

The crew knew that Reina did miss Olvia, but he simply kept those feelings to himself.

Since that incident, Reina's bounty has been increased again, reaching one billion Berries.

To avoid being reminded of his lost love by seeing these objects, Reina never went back to Ohara.

As for Robin's identity, no one knows except Dr. Crohar.

To prevent Robin's true identity from being exposed and thus hunted down by the Navy, Dr. Crohar kept this secret tightly under his belt, planning to tell her only when he was dying or when Robin had grown up.

Robin's life trajectory also became similar to that in the original work.

Chapter 128 Dialogue with Tian Shiyue

"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah~ Waaaaah~" The sound of a baby crying rang out, and a group of men who were anxiously waiting outside the door heard the sound and immediately shouted with joy.

"Hurry, hurry... Oden, go in and take a look!" Marco, still young at heart, kept urging Kozuki Oden to go in and take a look.

Today is a big day for the Whitebeard Pirates. The first child of the only married couple on the ship, Kozuki Oden and Tenshige, has been born.

Everyone seemed very happy, including Reina, but amidst this happiness, there was a hint of melancholy in Reina's eyes.

He remembered that Olvia also loved children, and used to hold her brother's child every day. If he had been stronger back then and rescued Olvia, they might have their own child by now.

"Hey... Oden, what name are you planning to give the baby? How about oden?"

"I think the meatballs look good!"

"Let's just call it seaweed. We're pirates, so we should be named after seafood!"

"I think eggs are good too!"

"What are all these things? Are those names? I think the little guy looks all wrinkled, how about calling him Wrinkles?" Olga's little head popped over and shouted.

These names left Reina speechless. Were these guys serious?

The crew members vied to name Oden's child, but Oden ignored them all. Looking at his child, he smiled and said, "No! His name must mean invincible! Let's call him Kozuki Momonosuke!"

"As expected... that wretched brat was born after all?" Reina chuckled as he looked at the still-infant Momonosuke. In his previous life, Momonosuke's name was known throughout the land!

As the saying goes, we can lose the battle, we can give up the treasure, but Momonosuke must die!

This cowardly fellow didn't inherit Kozuki Oden's bravery at all. But he's still my nephew, so I should at least talk to Oden and teach this guy a lesson.

"Lord Oden, you are already a wanted criminal on the bounty board in this open sea. Considering the safety of Lady Toki and young master Momonosuke, you should return to Wano Country!" Right after Momonosuke was born, Izo found Oden and wanted him to go back.

"But... I haven't found the answer in my heart yet!" Oden said, looking troubled.

"I'm fine too!" Tenshiki said with a smile, holding Momonosuke in her arms.

"But……"

"Besides, do you remember Reina's prophecy? If it's true, then Momonosuke is safer here than in Wano Country!" Oden waved his hand, interrupting Izo.

Yizang opened his mouth, unable to refute.

"By the way, Reina, come and take a look at my child!" Upon hearing Reina's name, Oden immediately grabbed Tenshiki, who was holding Momonosuke, and headed to find Reina, who was practicing taijutsu.

Ever since Reina acquired the system, he has always placed great emphasis on physical skills, and his physical skills training has always far surpassed his swordsmanship.

However, after acquiring the demon sword Muramasa, he began to pick up swordsmanship again, and after acquiring Hyōrinmaru, he spent more time practicing swordsmanship than taijutsu.

However, after his battle with Garp, Reina discovered that the foundation of his strength still lay in the Black Emperor's abilities. In addition, with his Sharingan evolving to the Mangekyou Sharingan level, the demands on his physical strength also increased.

Although Hyōrinmaru is now his main offensive weapon, he finds that he lacks sufficient stamina and has no chance of fighting against this world's top powerhouse.

"Hey... Reina!"

"Huh? Oden, what's wrong?" Reina wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Oden's family, and asked in surprise.

"Come quickly, let me see, no, let me see my son, can you see his future?" Oden asked eagerly.

Reina glanced at Kozuki Momonosuke in Tenshiki's arms, sighed, and said, "Oden, to be honest, I saw Momonosuke when he was born, but I didn't know whether I should tell you!"

Oden was taken aback, his smile vanished, and he asked, "Is this child's fate very unfortunate?"

“No!” Reina shook his head and said, “On the contrary, the future of your Wano Country rests on his shoulders!”

"I see... Then this child must have had a hard time!" Tian Shiyue instantly understood what Reina meant, and touched the sleeping Momonosuke with a kind expression.

After a while, Oden realized that if his child bore this heavy responsibility, his life would definitely not be easy!

“Since he is my child, he must be able to shoulder this responsibility. This is something that our Kozuki clan must do!” Oden, having come to this understanding, said solemnly.

“But… he might not be able to bear it! Oden, he is different from you. You are a great hero, while he… is more suited to be an ordinary person!” Reina hesitated for a moment, but still said it.

His words caused Oden and Tenshiki to change color simultaneously. These words were almost insulting. Putting everything else aside, Momonosuke's surname alone meant that he could not be an ordinary person. He was a member of the royal family of Wano Country and the first heir to the country.

But Reina said he was only suited to be an ordinary person, which was not a pleasant thing for Oden.

“So…you’ll have to put a lot of effort into this little guy! Don’t just think about yourself, you also need to pay more attention to his education! I don’t expect him to inherit your bravery, but at least you need to make him a man who can bravely take on his responsibilities instead of running away!” Reina continued before Oden and Tenshiki could speak.

After hearing Reina's words, Oden and Tenshiki exchanged glances and asked, "You mean... I didn't educate this child?"
