Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 393 We, Baroque Works, dare to kill even Celestial Dragons!

Nico Robin is having a real headache.

Uehara Naraku and Hoshigaki Kisame are both newcomers.

Although Nico Robin is nominally their superior at Baroque Works, she now has to work hard to prepare the small boat and supplies for the voyage. She also needs to go to Whiskey Peak to handle the aftermath of Baroque Works' affairs.

After everything was settled, Nico Robin looked at the direction of the Log Pose on her wrist, frowned, and said, "According to the magnetic force stored in the Log Pose, we should first go to Drum Kingdom, and then pass through the nearby Little Garden..."

"Record pointer?"

This is Kisame Hoshigaki, who knows absolutely nothing.

Uehara Naraku glanced at Kisame and chuckled, "Heh, we don't need that kind of thing. We'll just follow the guidance of fate..."

"..."

Nico Robin was speechless.

Why are there still people like Uehara Naraku in this world who are either superstitious or just immature? What does it mean to just follow the guidance of fate?

Most importantly, Kisame Hoshigaki actually nodded seriously.

Uehara Naraku was certainly not lying, because his Fate skill was still active.

Fate: Ability to detect the location of everyone within a 100-kilometer radius, including those using invisibility, for 6 seconds; after activating the Fate skill, after 1.5 seconds, one can use the power of spacetime to teleport to any location within a 50-kilometer radius.

The range and duration of the Fate skill are related to the amount of Observation Haki used. It consumes a minimum of 100 points of Observation Haki to activate and has no cooldown.

This skill is still so terrifying...

This also fully proves one thing: a cheater is absolutely not limited by the world.

"The Drum Kingdom is a member state of the World Government, right?"

Uehara Naraku leaped onto the ship and said softly, "Since we're going through the Drum Kingdom, let's start by spreading the terror of our Baroque Works there!"

Almost forgot.

The Drum Kingdom also has Devil Fruits.

In particular, King Wapol of Drum Island seems to possess a Gluttony Fruit, which allows him to devour other Devil Fruit users and acquire their abilities.

This fruit is perfect for Kakuzu.

After saying that, Uehara Naraku raised his finger and instructed himself, "Kakuzu-senpai, go to Drum Island and meet us. Let's go and collect the heart of the first Devil Fruit user!"

After everything was arranged.

Nico Robin and Kisame Hoshigaki boarded the small boat.

Kisame clasped his hands together in a hand seal and summoned a group of sharks, which swayed and rocked their small boat as they set off from Alabasta.

The shark looks like it wants to eat a person...

It looks rather frightening.

Uehara Naraku casually modified the system cheat tool, glanced at the system's hidden mission, and yawned listlessly. Why did they make someone who could fly have to take a boat?!

Hidden Quest: Sail the Grand Line for 100 days (1/100). Quest incomplete, reward unknown.

the other side.

Inside the port city of Alabasta.

When Kakuzu and Hidan received the message from Uehara Naraku, they had already started their business, casually killing a small-time pirate with seven million Berries.

"Do we really have to go to that Drum Island thing?"

Kakuzu's voice held a hint of displeasure. He looked down at the thick stack of wanted posters in his hand, his voice somewhat somber as he said, "I think I just saw one of those nine million bounty hunters in this city!"

to be frank.

This world is quite comfortable.

Compared to the past when he had to search for targets, Kakuzu discovered that as long as he put in a little effort, he could definitely find pirates he could exchange for money, and it didn't matter if he couldn't remember them.

If you go to a lively tavern, you're sure to see pirates, and some arrogant guys will even announce their bounties!

Isn't this just handing money to Kakuzu?

Kakuzu really felt that this world was perfect for him; there were so many stupid yet valuable guys!

"never mind."

Kakuzu pondered for a long time before slowly putting away the bounty poster in his hand. He sighed and said, "It's really hard to refuse Uehara's orders... but a heart is worth the trip."

"..."

Hidan, carrying his scythe, gently covered his nose: "By the way, how do we get to that...what was that kingdom again?"

"The Kingdom of Drums"

Kakuzu frowned and said in a deep voice, "Let's go. We'll exchange the bounty first, then buy a boat, and then take the boat over."

"Why don't we just rob one?"

Hidan opened his palm and chuckled, saying, "Anyway, this place is so chaotic, with looters everywhere..."

"idiot."

Kakuzu snorted coldly and explained, "If we have bounties on our hands, how are we supposed to go to the naval base to collect them!"

Kakuzu's thinking is quite correct.

As expected of an old man who had survived in the ninja world for so many years, Kakuzu had already figured out most of the factional order in this world in just a few days.

The Navy is the gold exchange of the ninja world.

No one wants to offend someone who is generous with money.

Not only that, but Kakuzu's thinking was also quite divergent: "Hmph, once Kabuto Yakushi has established himself in the Navy, I'll have him raise all the pirate bounties so we can make more money..."

To be honest, Kakuzu's idea is quite good.

However, Yakushi Kabuto is still far from establishing a firm foothold.

Yesterday, Kabuto Yakushi passed the Navy's physical examination and became a new recruit doing odd jobs at the Navy base, mainly mopping the floor.

As a result, on his very first night joining the Navy, Kabuto Yakushi was attacked, causing severe damage to the already weak naval base.

The pharmacist was fortunate enough to escape disaster.

Because of the manpower shortage at the naval base, Kabuto Yakushi was forced to take up arms and became a private third class. If he is slow to become a full-fledged officer, the naval base will probably be attacked again.

Because he didn't know enough about the Navy, Kabuto Yakushi planned to use his Sharingan to control the colonel at this base after he had thoroughly tested his strength, so that he could be promoted directly.

Aside from Sasuke Uchiha, who was ordered to join the Portgas D. Ace Spade Pirates, and Black Zetsu, everyone else had a bright future ahead of them.

the other side.

The Grand Line truly lives up to its name.

The weather on this sea was worse than expected. Nico Robin, along with Uehara Naraku and Kisame Hoshigaki, encountered a gust of wind with dark clouds as soon as they set sail.

Robin pressed her hat down, letting the wind tousle her hair. She gazed at the two men standing steadily on the deck and said softly, "Mr. Naraku, since there's no weather expert on board, it seems we haven't chosen a good time to depart..."

The existence of navigators is very important.

Especially in the extremely harsh weather conditions of the Grand Line.

A skilled navigator can prevent many losses and steer a ship away from some of the dangers at sea. Unfortunately, navigators are a rare breed.

"It doesn't matter."

Uehara Naraku shook his head.

The next moment, Uehara Naraku's figure suddenly flew up from the ship!

One by one, Susanoo skeletons floated out from Uehara's body. In the blink of an eye, the complete Susanoo surrounded Uehara Naraku's body. Susanoo suddenly drew out the ninja sword in its hand, and a huge blue sword aura suddenly slashed up into the air!

The dark clouds in the sky were cleaved open with a single stroke.

The raging winds were directly cleaved apart by the blue sword energy.

Uehara Naraku calmly dispelled Susanoo and landed back on the ship, where sunlight streamed down and shone upon him.

Amidst Nico Robin's utter astonishment and disbelief, Uehara Naraku stretched out his palm, looking at the sunlight reflected in it.

"Let's keep going... I am the navigator."

"..."

Nico Robin regained her composure and slowly nodded, indicating that she completely agreed with Uehara Naraku's words.

This is a damn navigator!

Could Uehara Naraku be planning to use this opportunity to threaten her and get something from her? But she's all alone, what could she possibly have?

There are many powerful organizations on this sea, but Baroque Works and Crocodile cannot be considered among the top ones.

Uehara Naraku's goal is probably the same as Crocodile's: to get his hands on Hades' weapon and become a hunter behind the scenes, capturing the crocodile...

Nico Robin was deep in thought the whole way.

Robin would occasionally glance at Uehara Naraku and Kisame Hoshigaki. Compared to other pirates on the sea, they were very restrained; these two absolutely did not drink alcohol.

Robin specially bought them alcohol on the way, but whether it was Uehara Naraku or Kisame Hoshigaki, they only held a glass of chilled juice.

Two very self-disciplined people.

They don't look like pirates at all.

When they arrived at the sea near the Drum Kingdom.

Uehara Naraku slowly stretched, took a cannonball from a box on the ship, and tossed it in his palm.

"Let's start by saying hello to this country!"

"..."

Robin looked at Uehara Naraku with surprise.

How are we supposed to greet them? Are we supposed to just drop artillery shells? If we're dropping shells from here, they'll only travel a few hundred meters at most, right?

Robin watched Uehara Naraku with a leisurely air, wanting to see how he would greet this country.

The next moment, Uehara Naraku, meeting Robin's surprised gaze, suddenly raised his palm and threw the cannonball in his hand!

The cannonball traced a high parabola through the air and landed on the castle on the high mountain of the Drum Kingdom, destroying a corner of the castle!

"We've said hello, let's go!"

Uehara Naraku landed on Drum Island.

Uehara's face gradually turned cold, as if he were an emotionless being: "A mere member state of the World Government shouldn't dare to oppose our Baroque Works, right?"

After saying that, Uehara Naraku clenched his fist again and continued in a cold voice, "We at Baroque Works dare to kill even Celestial Dragons!"

"..."

Nico Robin's gaze couldn't help but become somewhat subtle.

Hmm, underestimated...

Uehara is far worse than any pirate.

First update...

There are still four more updates...
