Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 394 Is this reindeer named Chopper delicious?

The Kingdom of Drums.

Uehara Naraku led them through the streets of the Drum Kingdom.

The area was not deserted, and there was even an old woman walking down the street with a reindeer carrying a tool bag and wearing a red top hat.

"interesting."

Uehara Naraku's gaze slowly settled. He looked at the reindeer and asked with a smile, "How about we have an extra meal today?"

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned and nodded, saying, "Lord Uehara, do you want to eat venison? I wonder how the reindeer here compare to the deer in Nara..."

"They're all about the same, aren't they?"

Uehara Naraku shrugged indifferently.

Nico Robin couldn't help but frown as she listened. That reindeer was both cute and handsome, so why did these two people want to eat it?

Is there not enough supplies on the ship?

They didn't stay in the town for long, but headed straight for the King's Castle of the Drum Kingdom, which was their main purpose.

I thought this would be a rather troublesome battle, but I didn't expect the people of this country to be so pitifully weak. Kisame Hoshigaki easily dealt with everyone.

Before the King's Castle, which is covered in snow all year round, Kisame brandished Samehada, and a stream of blood splattered down, staining the white land red.

Uehara Naraku and Nico Robin stood in front of the castle, surrounded by fallen soldiers, including Wapol and his two guards.

Nicole Robin tightened her clothes; she was still only wearing hot pants and a vest underneath, and a coat on top.

The weather was still quite cold for her.

Uehara Naraku casually took off his coat and tossed it onto Nico Robin before slowly squatting down in front of Drum King. "Let me think about what to do with you. You seemed to have insulted me when we met earlier. What happened to the last person who insulted me?"

"etc…"

King Walpo of the Drum hurriedly stretched out his palm.

Although he was a user of the Gluttony Fruit, he was powerless against Kisame Hoshigaki and witnessed firsthand the ruthlessness of these guys.

Wapol's ugly face showed a hint of panic: "I am the Drum King! This is a member state of the World Government! If you kill me, you will definitely be hunted down by the Navy!"

"I'm from Baroque Works. Do you think I'm afraid of the Navy?"

Uehara Naraku waved his hand and nodded to Kisame Hoshigaki, saying, "Kisame, go and take this king to the sea and sink him. Whether he survives or not depends on his luck!"

"…yes."

Kisame Hoshigaki nodded seriously.

Nicole Robin watched this scene speechlessly.

After seeing Kisame Hoshigaki pick up Wapol and leave, Naraku Uehara's gaze slowly fell on the others: "I remember this country is a major medical power, and there seems to be a very famous female doctor, I think her name is Kureha..."

"…yes."

Dalton, the former captain of the Drum Kingdom's guard and a user of the Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the Ox-Ox Fruit, nodded with a grim expression.

"Take me to her!"

"May I ask..."

Dalton gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you, sir? What do you intend to do to the Drum Kingdom?"

"Ha, even if I wanted to do something to the Drum Kingdom, what could you do about it?"

Uehara Naraku chuckled softly, opened his palm, and calmly continued, "We're from Baroque Works. Any one of our members could destroy the entire Drum Kingdom. Do you want to defy me?"

Uehara Naraku punched Dalton in the stomach and whispered in his ear, "As punishment for questioning me! After I see Dr. Kureha, you'll prepare one million Berries for me. Any objections?"

"...No...no."

Dalton knelt on the ground in a disheveled state, clutching his lower abdomen tightly, cold sweat dripping from his forehead in the icy weather.

Fortunately, the number given by Uehara Naraku was not much, and it was easy to collect the required amount.

However, Uehara Naraku didn't give him any time to rest.

Dalton could only endure his pain and lie on the sled to lead the way.

Nico Robin looked puzzled. She wrapped herself tightly in Uehara Naraku's clothes and asked softly, "Is there anywhere worth visiting that Dr. Kureha?"

"How would I know?"

After casually asking a question, Uehara Naraku continued, "However, I do know one thing: it's never wrong to spread the hatred of our Baroque Works throughout the world..."

Robin: "..."

You are truly one of the top ten employees at Baroque Workshop!

An hour later.

Uehara Naraku appeared at Dr. Kureha's house, rudely kicking open the door. He stood in the doorway, toying with a flintlock pistol, and said with a playful smile, "Is this Dr. Kureha's house? I'm a bit short on cash lately, could I borrow some money?"

"..."

An elderly woman in the room, who was in good shape, looked up and saw Uehara Naraku standing at the door.

It was Dr. Kureha, the witch with the highest medical skills in the Drum Kingdom.

They happened to be the same people they met in the town of Drum Kingdom earlier that day.

She is over 130 years old this year, but she is still very healthy, which is quite incredible in this world.

"Another pirate?"

Kureha looked at the musket in Uehara Naraku's hand, her eyes narrowed as she smiled, then calmly shook her head and said, "Little one, you've really come to the wrong person. I do have a lot of money, but it's all been spent on alcohol!"

After saying that, the woman waved the wine bottle in her hand and continued with a smile, "But do you want to know my secret to staying young?"

"Not interested."

Uehara Naraku raised his musket, casually aimed at a reindeer wearing a red hat in the room, and said with a wry smile, "Since you don't have any money, then take your reindeer! It'll be a good extra meal for us tonight..."

His words revealed his helplessness.

It seems this guy really doesn't want to leave empty-handed!

A bead of cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the red-hatted reindeer. The next moment, its expression gradually turned gloomy, and a muffled groan came from under its nostrils.

Just when the reindeer looked like it might suddenly leap out at any moment, Uehara Naraku's figure suddenly appeared beside the reindeer!

Uehara grabbed the reindeer by the neck and pinned it against the wall!

"etc!"

Dr. Gureva suddenly held out her palm, her smile unwavering: "That's not food, it's my silly son... If you want to borrow money, you should at least name an amount, right?"

"One million peles."

Uehara Naraku pinched the reindeer's flesh, stroked its fur, and slowly continued, "I'm taking this reindeer with me too; its meat looks very chewy..."

"Little one, that's going a bit too far..."

Dr. Kureha was still smiling, but her hand slowly lowered the bottle. "Honestly, are all young pirates this greedy these days?"

"Who are you calling a little pirate?!"

Uehara Naraku raised his gun, pointed it at Dr. Kureha, and said coldly, "I'm a mid-level agent of Baroque Works!"

"..."

Gureva frowned.

To be honest, I hate these hotheaded kids the most. Just as Gureva was slowly clenching her fist, a woman's voice came in.

"Uehara, take the Berries and leave!"

"Yes."

Uehara Naraku swung his hand, gripping the reindeer in his hand, and slammed it to the ground. He said in a deep voice, "Hey, Kureha, hurry up and give me the money!"

Unexpectedly, the reindeer on the ground suddenly sprang up and pounced on Uehara Naraku. Uehara Naraku cleanly and decisively kicked the reindeer, sending it flying!

"Stop, Chopper!"

Dr. Gureva quickly stopped the reindeer.

Even if she didn't stop it, there was nothing she could do, because the reindeer was in so much pain that it couldn't even stand up.

Dr. Kureha took out a money box, handed it to Uehara Naraku, and then asked, "What organization did you say you were from?"

"Baroque Works".

Uehara Naraku decisively snapped the musket in his hand, chuckling as he threatened her, "If you want revenge, then come on!"

"Knowing your names is enough."

Dr. Gureva smiled and shrugged, saying, "When I encounter patients from your organization in the future, I will take back everything I gave you today."

"OK."

Uehara Naraku didn't care at all; he simply left with the money box, because he had already obtained the country's most important reward.

Side Quest: Defeat Tony Tony Chopper (1/1). Quest complete. Reward: 50 coins.

This is…

Has the minimum reward been updated?

Even hitting Hinata would be a better reward than this!

Uehara Naraku couldn't help but rub his forehead and look at the second reward.

Side Quest: Rubbed Chopper's little belly and head (1/1), quest completed, reward 3000 points of life energy, 3000 points of Armament Haki, and 3000 points of Observation Haki.

Is this a task that a tough guy should complete?

Two different tasks, yet the rewards are so different!

After Uehara Naraku left with Kureha's one million Berries and Dalton's one million Berries, Nico Robin...

Kureha crouched down beside Chopper and poured a vial of medicine into him: "Hey, you idiot Chopper, are you alright?"

"It's alright... Doctor Doriel."

After the reindeer opened its mouth to respond, its body gradually began to shrink, and after a moment it became about the size of a child.

Chopper looked up at Kureha, his big eyes still filled with confusion: "Those people... are they pirates?"

"Perhaps?"

Kureha nodded, glanced at the musket that Uehara Naraku had broken, and slowly sat back down in her chair: "That little guy... is just a nobody on the high seas, so it won't be so easy for you to become a pirate!"

"I would never be a pirate!"

Chopper swung his forelegs angrily, his face contorted with rage, and shouted, "They rush into other people's homes to steal money? How could they possibly be pirates?!"

"Um?"

Kureha touched her bottle, took a swig, and continued in a low voice, "You're not wrong. That guy might not actually be a pirate. He said he was from Baroque Works, which seems to be a criminal company in the first half of the Grand Line..."

"...Baroque Works?"

Chopper slowly nodded, memorizing the name, his eyes hardening. "Doctor Kureha, I'm going to continue my experiments!"

Second update

I even added an extra chapter today, so I'm already behind again...

Also, thank you to the generous 100,000 Alliance Master reward from the VIP user "贪恋你de美"!

Thank you to the kid who knows how to use a toy gun for the 30,000 reward…
