Chapter 110: Reiner Directly Calls Him a Traitor!

Chapter 110: Reiner Directly Calls Him a Traitor!

The night is falling, the breeze is blowing, bringing the coolness of the sea water, the moon is hanging in the sky, the silvery light is sprinkled on the sea, sparkling.

The waves gently hit the reefs on the shore, making bursts of crisp and rhythmic sounds, that is the sea whispering at night.

The familiar voice sounding from outside the living quarters instantly drew everyone's attention. They all looked sideways towards the door.

Creak~

The door opened, and a figure in blue entered their sight, his blond hair framing a face with its usual gentle smile.

"I'm back, everyone," Reiner said, slowly walking into the living room.

"That was well done, Luffy. Very captain-like."

He had been listening outside for a long time, and it was quite heart-wrenching. But he knew he couldn't intervene in such matters; Luffy had to handle it himself.

Once an estrangement arises, it cannot be avoided. If the problem isn't resolved head-on, then even if he stepped in this time, no matter how much they pretended not to care in the future, an unresolved knot would remain in their hearts.

"Reiner!"

Chopper pitter-pattered over on his little legs and leaped onto him, eyes brimming with tears. "Waaah! Reiner, you're finally back!"

Thump!

"Oof!"

Reiner casually tossed Chopper aside, preparing to receive another beautiful figure.

"What took you so long?"

Nami rushed up, her eyes red, and buried her head in his chest. "You have no idea how much happened on the ship while you were gone! And Robin... Robin, she's gone!"

Nami lifted her head, eyes teary. This strong girl occasionally revealed her soft side, especially after today's encounters, which were utterly awful.

The Going Merry's fate, Robin's disappearance, Reiner's long absence, and on top of that, the conflict erupting between Usopp and Luffy – it felt as if the slightest misstep could cause the entire pirate crew to disintegrate.

Nami's mood had also reached its breaking point. Fortunately, the situation between Luffy and Usopp hadn't worsened further.

"Sorry about that. Went out on a trip and came back empty-handed. Wasted a lot of time."

Reiner gently wiped the tear stains from the corners of her eyes, his voice calm and even. "Don't worry. Robin is fine. Also, I brought back some good news. Let's sit down and talk things through slowly, one by one."

"Mm... Okay," Nami replied softly, wiping her tear-streaked face on his shirt before stepping back.

"Everyone, come eat!"

Reiner sat down at the dining table and called back to the others. "Stop crying, Usopp. This good news is related to the Going Merry, you know."

Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp immediately rushed to his side upon hearing this, slamming their hands heavily on the table with a 'thwack'. Their three faces squeezed together, pouting as they yelled excitedly:

"You said the Going Merry!?"

"Really!?"

"Reiner! You mean...!?"

Reiner didn't keep them in suspense, smiling as he spoke directly, "That's right! Considering various factors, saving the Going Merry is completely possible!"

"That's great!"

"I knew it!"

"How could the Going Merry stop here!?"

The three members of the atmosphere squad instantly became excited, throwing their arms around each other's shoulders, hoisting Chopper into the middle, and doing a leg-kicking dance back and forth. "Long live the Going Merry! Long live!"

"The way these two think is just too erratic," Nami sighed, facepalming. "Honestly! They were just fighting a moment ago, and now they're like best buddies again so quickly."

"Isn't this good?" Reiner couldn't help but smile, looking at the three.

"What's good about it!? It's precisely because they're like this that they always cause trouble!"

Nami rolled her eyes irritably, took the wine bottle from the table, and filled his glass. "So, what are the specifics about the ship? And you mentioned Robin just now, right? What exactly is the situation?"

Hearing this, everyone gathered around the dining table, waiting for him to speak.

"Let's eat first. One thing at a time. First, about the ship..."

Reiner reached out and grabbed a piece of Water Water Meat. He hadn't eaten until now and was starving.

The group ate while listening to Reiner recount his afternoon's experiences: from 'discovering' the money was stolen, to learning about Adam Wood, hearing about Aqua Laguna on the way, then finding Iceburg, clashing with CP9, and Robin leaving with them...

The amount of information was almost too much for them to digest, but each person only heard the key information relevant to them.

"Will the Going Merry get bigger!?"

"A double hull! Sounds awesome!"

"A Buster Call! We're doomed! We're gonna die!"

"Aqua Laguna? No wonder I felt the air was weird."

"CP9... sounds interesting."

"Nani! Little Robin actually did that for us..."

One after another, their comments made Reiner continuously rub his temples. "Your keywords truly are each unique."

"Anyway, let's put the ship matter aside for now. After all, I don't know what Iceburg's final design will look like."

Reiner swallowed a mouthful of Water Water Meat and leaned back contentedly in his chair. "Now, let's talk about two things first. One is that Aqua Laguna is coming tomorrow; we need to find a place to secure the Going Merry. And then there's Robin..."

"I left Blue Ogre and Red Ogre to secretly protect Iceburg. Tomorrow, we still need to make a trip. The Sea Train tracks lead directly to Enies Lobby; Water 7 has a direct route."

"The place we are going... is the land of eternal day, the city that never sleeps – Enies Lobby!!"

"They've already left!?"

Luffy seemed somewhat anxious. "Why didn't we just snatch Robin back right here!?"

"It's because of that Buster Call thing, right?"

Nami reacted. "The Log Pose needs nearly a week to set. If a Buster Call is activated here, it will definitely cause massive civilian casualties."

Reiner glanced at Nami. Pirates who don't rob civilians are rare, but they exist. Pirates who actually consider civilian safety during a fight... those can truly be called kind.

"And besides, there's the Going Merry," Sanji added. "If a Buster Call came here, it would probably cause severe damage to the major docks. The Merry is counting on being reborn here."

"That's about it," Reiner gestured towards Frieren behind him and explained, "Her Observation Haki already covers the entirety of Water 7. She'll detect it as soon as CP9 leaves, so there's no need to be too hasty."

CP9's movements were constantly under his control.

Although they had to change the battlefield, they couldn't afford to be too late. If Robin passed through the Gates of Justice after Enies Lobby, everything would become extremely complicated. Because that gate led to two places—

The absolute fortress of justice, Marine Headquarters – Marineford!

And the impenetrable great undersea prison, Impel Down – Impel!

They couldn't even touch Marine Headquarters right now, with the Three Admirals stationed there. Even Impel Down would be quite troublesome. So, as soon as the enemy made a move, they would immediately set out.

"Meaning, this time our enemy isn't the Marines or other pirates," Sanji said, looking gravely at the others. "What we are challenging is the representative of authority and rules, this world's greatest superpower – the World Government!"

"Doesn't matter who it is!!"

Luffy slammed his foot onto the table with a 'thump!', making the dishes rattle, and declared with resolute eyes:

"No matter what enemy! They can't take Robin away from us! Let's go smash Enies Lobby and save Robin! Everyone agree!?"

"We have no problem with that," Sanji stated coolly. "But if you had any sense, you'd get your foot off the table right now."

"Huh?"

Luffy suddenly felt a chill run up his spine, his heart instantly alarmed!

"Hey! Wait, Nami..."

Bang! Bang!

"Hmph!"

Nami clapped her hands, satisfied. "Truly incorrigible!"

Luffy lay sprawled on the floor, bruised and swollen, looking utterly pitiful. "Dobu ji~~ (Sorry~~) My bad~~"

"Truly never learns," Reiner sighed helplessly, looking at Luffy on the floor and couldn't help but recall the past.

Back then, not long after he and Luffy first met, Garp had returned to Foosha Village on vacation.

That was truly a display of 'grandfatherly love and grandsonly filial piety'! (Sarcasm)

Luffy got beaten up every day, yet remained stubbornly defiant every day.

And the crucial part was this blabbermouth!

He actually dared to declare right in front of Garp that Reiner was the first member he recruited, and that the two of them would set sail together to become pirates in the future!

Reiner directly called Luffy a traitor!

That very day, Garp beat Reiner senseless. That night, Reiner packed his things and fled to the mountains to inherit Higuma's 'throne'.

Those times... don't even mention how miserable they were.
