Chapter 300: The Harvest (Two-in-One)
"Reiner! Nami!"
A loud shout came from far away, getting closer. Reiner turned his head and saw several figures rushing over in a panic.
Chopper, Usopp, and the others were among them, as well as several commanders from the Whitebeard crew.
And far behind them, a cloud of dust was rolling and stirring, and the vast army could be vaguely seen within it.
"Run! The royal army is chasing us!"
Usopp shouted as he ran. The commotion also attracted the attention of others nearby.
"They really don’t give us a moment’s rest."
"Should we retreat, Captain? We didn’t get anything this time."
"Well, it can’t be helped. We’re pirates, after all, showing up uninvited in someone else’s royal palace and making a mess."
Marco held his forehead and sighed with a laugh. "Hurry up and pack what you can. Take the wounded and get ready to leave."
"Got it, Captain."
Soon, the Whitebeard crew began to evacuate from the royal palace.
"The royal army?" Reiner looked over with a puzzled expression.
At the head of the army was a man with white hair, wearing a blue cape and dressed as a gladiator.
Beside him were Rebecca and another one-legged man holding a two-handed sword.
A pursuit?
Is there some misunderstanding? Reiner roughly guessed their identities; they should be King Riku and Kyros.
"Forget it. Let’s go too," Reiner smiled faintly, turned his head, carried Nami on his back, and leaped up to follow the retreating forces.
"Wait, Lord Reiner!!"
Rebecca stretched out her hand and shouted with all her might, but could only watch as Reiner and the others left without looking back, seemingly not intending to have any more contact with them.
"How could this be..."
Thump, thump.
Rebecca stopped, panting heavily. She held her hands, a look of loss in her eyes. "I haven’t even had a chance to thank everyone yet."
"The Marines haven’t fully withdrawn yet. They probably don’t want to involve us."
Kyros placed his hand on Rebecca’s shoulder and smiled gently, comforting her, "Let’s go to the coast and wait for them. There won’t be any worries there."
"Father..."
Rebecca clenched her hand and nodded emphatically. "I understand!"
"Reporting, Your Majesty!"
A soldier ran up and reported to King Riku, "The flower field and the royal palace have now been taken over by the royal army. We are currently negotiating with the Revolutionary Army over the underground factory!"
"The remnants of the Donquixote Family have all been suppressed. Only Weevil is still in a fierce battle with Straw Hat, and the whereabouts of Miss Bakkin are unknown."
"In addition, all the treasure of the Donquixote Family has been completely emptied. It is suspected that Miss Bakkin saw the situation was bad and ran away with all the treasure."
"All of it was taken?"
King Riku just nodded after hearing this. "I understand."
The Donquixote Family had been engaged in illegal activities such as human trafficking and arms dealing for so many years, and the wealth they had accumulated was definitely extremely exaggerated.
It was no exaggeration to say they were as rich as a country.
Just the treasure and cash here alone were enough to cover all the living expenses of tens of thousands of citizens for a whole year, not to mention the large amount of supplies.
It was all dirty money extracted from blood and bones. If it was gone, it was gone.
King Riku didn’t care about the money. Before pursuing wealth, one should first pursue peace and stability.
As long as all the people of the country could work together with one heart, Dressrosa would see its glorious days again.
King Riku looked up and shifted his gaze to the distance. "Let’s go. Let’s go and see Straw Hat."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
On the other side of the high ground.
The earth had been completely destroyed into ruins. Three figures were engaged in a fierce battle amidst the rubble.
Under the joint attack of Luffy and Sabo, even Weevil’s tough body couldn’t avoid suffering a lot of injuries, and he could only barely manage to parry.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Weevil was furious, continuously swinging his sword to force the two back.
Luffy flipped over to dodge the blade and came to the top. He gritted his teeth and compressed his legs into his thighs layer by layer.
"Gomu Gomu no... Rhino Howitzer!!"
Bang!!
The fully charged power, like a compressed spring, was all released. His two feet fiercely kicked Weevil’s chest, shattering the protective armor and viciously piercing the rough flesh.
"Pfft—!"
Weevil opened his mouth and spat out blood. He felt as if his internal organs had been churned into a mess.
Luffy grinned. After using the technique of internal destruction Haki, the other’s thick defense could finally be easily broken.
"In that case, take another one of my—"
"That hurts, you bastard!!"
Weevil suddenly erupted in rage. To Luffy’s shocked peripheral vision, a pitch-black bisento suddenly slashed over!
Luffy hurriedly raised his hand and covered it with Armament Haki to block, but another figure arrived in front of him a step faster.
"Dragon’s Claw Hook!"
Clang!
Sabo’s fingers came together and bent into a three-fingered dragon’s claw and struck out, gripping the other’s blade tightly, preventing it from advancing an inch.
"Thanks a lot, Sabo!"
Luffy grinned, then turned his head to look at Weevil with a serious expression. "It’s time to end this. Everything that has happened in this country."
"What are you talking about, you insect? You actually dared to steal my Devil Fruit!"
Weevil was enraged, his veins popping. "That despicable robber! And you! None of you will leave here alive!"
A surging momentum climbed with his anger. A powerful aura erupted from his body, and the ground beneath his feet shattered!
"Get out of my way!"
Weevil swung his sword and fiercely swept Sabo away. He took a heavy step forward and, with his greatsword, angrily slashed up at Luffy from below!
Zing!!
A giant slash was emitted from the sword. The brutal force seemed to want to tear apart everything before it.
Luffy dodged to the side but was sent flying into the sky by the aftershock. He did a few flips in the air to barely steady himself, his eyes resolute.
He raised his hand and bit down on the extremely taut balloon muscle of his Gear Fourth state. Luffy took a deep breath and blew hard, continuing to blow air into his muscle to strengthen his arm’s power!
His already sturdy arm continued to swell, becoming several times larger than his body.
Luffy’s eyes hardened. He suddenly jetted air from his feet and dived down, dragging his massive fist!
"Gomu Gomu no... King Kong Gun!!"
"The fist... got bigger?!"
Weevil stared blankly, then swung his bisento and began to spin on the spot like a top. "Watch me split you in two with one slash!!"
Under the high-speed rotation, a terrifying centrifugal force gathered at the tip of his blade, and he viciously chopped up at the giant fist descending from the sky!!
Zing—!!
A sharp, piercing sonic boom echoed in the air. A chaotic impact spread out.
In an instant, the color of heaven and earth changed, and the wind and clouds surged!
Everyone on the island was attracted by this violent commotion, all of them casting their gazes towards the high ground.
"Eeyaaah—! Fly for me!!"
Luffy gritted his teeth, his veins exposed. Haki gathered, and dense black lightning exploded from his fist!
Boom!!!
The giant fist was as heavy as a mountain. It sent the resisting Weevil smashing into the ground, his body piercing through the high ground and shooting out from the other side.
"Uwaah—Mommy~~!"
Bang!!!
Weevil, like a meteor streaking across the sky, accompanied by a wail, crashed heavily into the earth, lying in a deep pit with his eyes rolled back, foaming at the mouth, and completely unconscious.
In the air, Luffy, like a deflating balloon, spiraled down. He landed on the ground and, just as he was catching his breath, saw several familiar faces running over from the distance.
"Are you alright, Luffy!"
"Let’s run!"
"Hey—everyone!"
Seeing that Reiner and the others had all regrouped, Luffy waved excitedly.
"You have many reliable companions, Luffy," Sabo said with a smile from the side.
"Of course!"
Luffy smiled proudly. "By the way, Sabo, let’s go find Ace later."
"Who did you say you’re going to find?"
Swish!
Nami rolled her eyes in anger, instantly flashing to Luffy’s side. With one punch, she smashed his head into the ground. After standing firm, she put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Reiner! Carry the person, back to the ship!"
"H-hello."
Looking at the twitching Luffy on the ground, Sabo took a step back with lingering fear and said sheepishly, "Nice to meet you for the first time. My name is Sabo. I’m Luffy’s older brother."
With that, Sabo didn’t forget to take off his hat and bow.
"Luffy’s older brother?"
Nami raised an eyebrow and sized up Sabo.
Well-dressed, polite, with every move exuding a noble temperament.
This is Luffy’s older brother?
Nami’s expression changed. Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
Just then, the others also ran up. Besides Reiner, there was another person who knew Sabo.
Robin walked out with a pleased smile. "Long time no see, Sabo."
"It’s Robin. Long time no see," Sabo replied with a smile.
Sanji tilted his head with a puzzled expression. "Robin-chan, you know him?"
"Mm," Robin nodded slightly. "I stayed with the Revolutionary Army for a while these two years. Sabo and Koala were the ones who trained me."
Pop—!
"—Hoo-wah!"
Luffy pulled his head out of the ground and grinned at the group. "Everyone, this is Sabo! Just like Ace, we became sworn brothers when we were kids!"
"Brothers?!" the group exclaimed in shock.
"Hey, Luffy, how many sworn brothers do you have?"
Sanji couldn’t help but ask. Luffy grinned. "Just Ace and Sabo. That’s all."
After learning about the relationship between Luffy and Sabo, the group exchanged a few simple pleasantries, all of them deeply in disbelief.
"You’re the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army?"
"And so well-mannered."
"Compared to this idiot, it’s a world of difference."
"So you’re the black sheep of the family, right?" Reiner said speechlessly, holding Luffy by the back of his collar.
After a brief chat, the two sides said their goodbyes. Reiner and the others were going back to the Merry, while Sabo was preparing to go find Ace.
In addition, Sabo revealed that the Float-Float Fruit had already been taken by their Northern Army Commander, [Karasu], who had left.
Reiner could only reluctantly give up, but the harvest from this trip was already substantial.
Besides a Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Fujitora’s weapon, one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords, [Gokudo Kosen], had also been taken by him.
Reiner had tried it. Unfortunately, it was Fujitora himself who had eaten the Heavy-Heavy Fruit, not this sword.
In addition, Fujitora was both a master of the sword path and a user of the Heavy-Heavy Fruit, which was surprisingly compatible with Golden Lion’s template.
Reiner simply fused him into Sukuna, ushering in a super-strengthening of his physique. He also gave him Gokudo Kosen to use.
Ryokugyu’s template was, without any surprise, fused into Frieren, also ushering in a great strengthening of her physique, and adding another natural element ability.
Now, he didn’t even have to do it himself. Just summoning a few powerful undead was more than enough to surround and kill an Admiral.
And their next stop was Totto Land.
Big Mom, the Soul-Soul Fruit...
Reiner’s gaze was deep. After entering the New World, the only ability that had made him a little curious was this one that could grant souls to objects.
After being infused with a soul, an object would possess human intelligence and become a ’Homie’.
For example, Big Mom’s fire, Prometheus; thundercloud, Zeus; and bicorne hat, Napoleon...
Strangely, this ability seemed to be a one-time thing. After creating a ’Homie’, it did not seem to consume any more stamina to maintain its existence.
When Big Mom fainted, lost her memory, or was defeated, her Homies were not affected.
Even when Big Mom fell into the sea and lost her strength, Prometheus could still go down and save her!
This was much better than his undead. The existence of his undead would consume his own stamina. If his main body fell into the water, he would naturally be unable to support his undead’s actions.
Reiner also couldn’t help but be curious. If he were to grant a soul to his undead, what kind of strange reaction would occur?
And could the undead separate from him and become a more independent existence?
A cool sea breeze blew past. Reiner collected his thoughts. Without realizing it, he had already reached the coast. Giant rocks surrounded the entire island.
The Merry was moored hidden behind a rock. Countless undead were carrying large and small bags up.
Seeing this, Nami couldn’t help but look at him with curiosity. "What’s that?"
"Sigh~~, why didn’t I think of it?"
Reiner sighed and said pretentiously, "There’s too much treasure. It seems our ship is a bit too small to hold it all."
That’s right, the Donquixote’s treasure was not plundered by Bakkin. It was all here with Reiner.
The moment these words were spoken, everyone else at the side looked over, their faces full of shock.
"Are you saying all of those are treasure?!"
"Those large and small bags that are almost filling the ship, are all of them treasure?!!"
"Then how much money is that!!"
The group couldn’t hide the excitement and thrill in their hearts.
"I haven’t counted it yet, but it’s definitely more than all our previous hauls combined."
Reiner smiled faintly. "There’s probably twenty to thirty billion Berries."
"T-t-t... tens of billions?!!"
Usopp’s jaw hit the ground, his eyes popping out. He grabbed Luffy by the collar and shook him forcefully. "Hey, Luffy! We’ve struck it rich!!"
"Hahaha, can I buy a bronze statue now!"
"With this much money, you could even buy a golden one!!"
"Oh~~, I can’t take it anymore, Reiner," Nami’s delicate body went limp and she lay directly in Reiner’s arms.
Her two eyes had completely turned into $ signs. Her face was flushed, and she was completely immersed in the fantasy of swimming in a sea of treasure.
"..."
Reiner was speechless. He picked her up in a princess carry. "Hey, hey, hey, that’s too much, Nami. Wake up."
"I don’t want to~~, just let me die in a pile of gold~~" Nami was completely ecstatic, her dazed eyes shining with the light of gold.
Reiner was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He looked at the treasure on the ship, controlled the undead to take a few bags to the chart room, and an interesting idea arose.
You want to die in a pile of gold, do you...
That’s not hard to arrange. I’ll grant your wish right now.
"Lord Luffy! And Lord Reiner and Lord Zoro!"
A voice came from a rock in the distance. Luffy and the others turned their heads to look.
It was Rebecca, running out excitedly. Behind her was a one-legged uncle, slowly hopping forward.
"Whoa—! It’s Rebecca." Luffy waved and smiled.
"Hey, Moss-head!"
A fire of jealousy burned in Sanji’s eyes. He pressed his forehead against his and bared his teeth in anger. "Why do you know such a cute and sexy female gladiator!"
"Hah?! None of your business, curly-brows!" Zoro retorted without showing any weakness.
Rebecca jogged all the way to Luffy and stopped, panting for a couple of breaths. She held her hands and said, "That’s great. I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you all off."
"Hahaha, what’s up, Rebecca?" Luffy said with a smile.
Rebecca shook her head. "We just wanted to send you all off."
"This is my father, Kyros. He’s the undefeated legend we saw in the arena."
Rebecca smiled and introduced the person behind her, then continued, "I hope you can all accept the thanks of all our citizens."
With that, Rebecca and Kyros were about to kneel and bow, but were stopped by Luffy, who said with a smile, "No need for that, Rebecca. Aren’t we friends?"
"Besides, we didn’t really do anything."
"We’re leaving, Rebecca. We’ll meet again."
Reiner and Zoro said with a light laugh.
After a simple farewell to Rebecca, the group jumped onto the Merry one after another.
A certain pervert who was pestering her was also grabbed by the hair by Zoro and dragged back onto the ship.
Luffy stood on the Merry’s white sheep’s head and waved. "Goodbye, Rebecca! And uncle!"
"Goodbye, Lord Luffy! I wish you a smooth voyage!"
Rebecca’s eyes were filled with emotion. Although she had only known him for less than half a day in the arena, he felt as close as a long-time friend.
What a magical person.
The Merry slowly broke through the waves. Rebecca watched as the group gradually moved away from the coast.
On the ship, the undead were busy in an orderly fashion. Luffy and the others couldn’t wait and rushed into the warehouse. Looking at the dazzling treasure that was almost overflowing, they drooled and fantasized.
Besides what Reiner had plundered from Bakkin, there were also quite a few Berries that Nami had stolen from Ace and their crew, which the Tontatta tribe had helped deliver to the ship before.
In addition, they had also obtained some artificial fruits when they destroyed the factory later. Not many, just a dozen or so ripe ones. Nami felt they had a chance to be sold for money, so she kept them.
In the chart room, the floor was piled with small mountains of gold coins. For the first time, this room could be described as magnificent.
In the pile of glittering jewels, Nami’s irrepressible voice came from time to time.
"I can’t take it anymore~~, I’m going to die, ah~~ Reiner—!"
