Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 397 A Man Who Provoked a Navy Admiral! (Fifth Update!)

An ancient island.

A blue Susanoo, a thousand meters tall, suddenly appeared here. Compared to it, the giant creatures on the entire island were like ants, scattering in panic!

Just then, the two giants, Dorry and Brogy, stopped their fight and stared in disbelief at the enormous blue giant!

"I'm very sorry to tell you both."

Uehara Naraku stood inside the crystal on Susanoo's forehead and loudly proclaimed, "This island is to be requisitioned by our Baroque Works. If you wish to continue fighting here, you are welcome to join our Baroque Works."

After finishing his recruitment speech, Uehara Naraku continued, "If you're not willing to join our Baroque Works Club, then I'll have to regretfully ask you... to leave this island!"

The next moment, Susanoo suddenly drew its ninja sword!

A blue sword aura suddenly slashed towards the volcano, instantly cutting it in half. Lava from the ground erupted and spread outwards!

Both Donald and Brogy showed surprise. Their bodies were not as hard as a volcano, and they could easily predict what would happen if that sword energy landed on them…

The two giants could only flee together as the lava spread, and they were still discussing things as they ran through the forest!

"The gods of Elbaf will favor the victor among us... but before we determine who the winner is, let's take down that guy together!"

"Alright, let's use that move together!"

However, just after they finished their discussion, a blue sword aura suddenly struck, cutting off their escape route!

Uehara Naraku, manipulating his Susanoo, brandished his ninja sword and shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, don't you really want to join our Baroque Works? We're the most powerful organization on the Grand Line in this era; recruiting you would be your honor!"

"We've never even heard of such a small organization!"

Blue Demon Dorry brandished his somewhat decaying sword and shouted, "No matter when, the strongest on the Grand Line is the Giant Warrior Pirates of Elbaf!"

"That's right!"

Red Demon Brogy wildly swung his axe!

The two giants launched their attacks almost simultaneously, and a massive shockwave suddenly struck Susanoo!

This is the overwhelming power of Elbaf, the land of giants!

After the two giants unleashed their full power, they had very little strength left, and their already somewhat decaying weapons shattered completely. This was their strongest attack!

Unfortunately, the powerful forces they unleashed did nothing to shake Susanoo's body, not even making it retreat a step...

"How weak..."

The towering Susanoo slowly lowered its body, extended its finger, and flicked the two giants away with one finger!

Uehara Naraku's booming voice rang out: "Get out! Your strength is too weak; you are not qualified to join our Baroque Works! The Titans of Elbaf are indeed not very strong; they don't even give me the desire to kill you!"

"..."

A look of despair crossed the faces of the two giants.

They had fought here for so many years, never imagining that one day their battlefield would be occupied and their homeland insulted!

In this world, the Giant Country is known as the world's number one superpower, and this has always been recognized!

Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do...

The sheer size of the blue giant is enough to inspire despair!

For now, it seems all they can do is temporarily set aside their conflict, remember the hatred they've encountered, return to their homeland to forge weapons suitable for the Titans, and search for their old comrades…

then…

I'll come back to take revenge on Baroque Works!

After their revenge is complete, they will reclaim this ancient island and continue their battle...

After driving away the two giants, Uehara Naraku's Susanoo vanished as a phantom, and his body returned to the ground.

"Mr. Naraku, I originally thought you were just going to drive them away..."

Nico Robin slowly walked to his side, a subtle expression on her face: "But Elbaf values ​​their honor. If you humiliate them like this, you might face their pursuit or even the hostility of the entire Elbaf in the future..."

"It doesn't matter."

Uehara Naraku interrupted Nico Robin, calmly shaking his head and saying, "They only know Baroque Works. Our boss is Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. At that time, our boss will definitely take care of the entire Land of Giants."

"..."

Nico Robin's expression became even more subtle.

After saying that, Uehara Naraku slowly extended his palm and continued softly, "Besides, Mr. Crocodile will soon step out from behind the scenes and into the limelight!"

"..."

Nico Robin stared speechlessly at Uehara Naraku.

Why would they need to use a series of schemes?

Is this guy trying to leak Crocodile's information through the mouth of a Marine Admiral, besides wanting to fight Aokiji?

While the World Government certainly wouldn't remove Crocodile from his position as a Shichibukai just because of a criminal company like Baroque Works...

but…

However, if Uehara Naraku continues to act recklessly, Crocodile will not only lose his convenient position as a Shichibukai, but he might not even be able to save his own life!

Uehara Naraku has only been with Baroque Works for a few days, and he's already causing trouble constantly, and he's even about to provoke a Marine Admiral...

This guy doesn't seem to be one to cause trouble...

Uehara Naraku doesn't care what Nico Robin thinks.

Because Uehara Naraku knew very well that Crocodile had challenged the world's strongest man, Whitebeard, so this was nothing to him.

"alright."

Uehara Naraku suddenly stretched out his palm and calmly continued, "Then let me take this time to build a battlefield suitable for us!"

next moment!

The ground on the ancient island suddenly rose, and countless animals fled to the sea because of the rapid rise in the earth's elevation. At least they could survive in the sea.

"This is…"

Nico Robin couldn't help but look at her feet, a slight hesitation on her face. "Another Logia-type Devil Fruit power? The Earth-Earth Fruit?"

"Can you say that?"

Uehara Naraku tilted his head, and his palm opened again. A huge wind blade began to plow the entire ancient island, turning the whole island into a square cube!

"As for what happens next..."

Uehara Naraku's hand suddenly landed on the ground, and he said softly, "Then let's add some more decorations from both of our factions! Life must have a sense of ritual... This is a Marine Admiral, we must surprise him!"

"..."

Robin's face was full of question marks.

She really couldn't imagine Uehara's thought process.

When the World Government's top combatant, Admiral Aokiji, was about to arrive, this person wasn't thinking about how to prepare for the war; instead, he was setting up a huge arena here.

If you like dueling arenas so much, why don't you just go to Dressrosa?

Unfortunately, you can't persuade this person!

Even after Nico Robin described some of the Marine Admirals' achievements to them, Uehara Naraku and Kisame Hoshigaki remained unmoved, holding their chilled juices as if they were listening to a fairy tale.

A day has passed.

A long white line appeared on the surface of the sea.

That's Admiral Aokiji's mode of transportation: using his Ice-Ice Fruit ability to create an ice tunnel, and then riding a wooden non-slip bicycle along the ice tunnel.

This method is quite terrifying for ordinary pirates.

This is enough to prove the admiral's strength.

After spotting a small island, Aokiji stopped his bicycle.

The admiral flipped through his log pointer, then took out a map and looked at the huge, cube-shaped island in front of him with some confusion.

Shouldn't this place be called Little Garden?

Did he take the wrong turn while riding his bicycle?

The island's current appearance made Aokiji doubt his own memory, although he had always been too lazy to remember these things.

Just as Aokiji was still hesitating, a man's loud voice came from the island: "Come on over, Mr. Kuzan, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

"what?"

Aokiji scratched his head.

The next moment, Aokiji's body rose from the ice and ran wildly along the abnormally vertical rock wall of the island, landing on the island after a few leaps!

When Aokiji looked up and saw the entire island, even with his many years of experience on the Grand Line, he couldn't help but be somewhat shocked.

The entire island has an unusually flat surface.

The area stretched for tens of kilometers and seemed to extend endlessly, with not a single blade of grass, tree, or animal on the ground; it looked exactly like a…

No, this is a dueling arena!

This is a massive, man-made arena!

This island was originally a paradise inhabited by a group of giant prehistoric creatures, but now it has been turned into a dueling arena!

One side is a huge white stone wall with a seagull emblem painted on it, clearly symbolizing the navy!

On the other side was a huge black stone wall, originally painted with floating red auspicious clouds, clearly symbolizing the enemy!

This is someone provoking the navy!

Someone is trying to provoke him, a naval admiral!

However, it must be said that the person who created this huge arena, whether he did it with strength or money, and who dared to challenge a Marine Admiral in such an arena, is truly admirable!

The languid look on Aokiji's face faded, and his gaze slowly fell on a corner of the duel island, where three people were sitting.

A man.

a woman.

A fish-man.

These were exactly the targets he had come here to find.

"Mr. Kuzan."

One of the young men stretched out his hand towards him and called out, "Want to come over and have a glass of juice first? We can discuss the rules of the fight while we're at it."

It's that guy named Uehara Naraku!

Aokiji's expression turned slightly serious. He walked over and sat down in front of them, scratched his head, and said softly, "No, never mind, I still prefer beer. Do you have any here?"

"Sorry, my family is very strict; I can only drink juice."

After saying that, Uehara Naraku suddenly changed his mind and said, "No, if you want, we also have plain water here."

After saying that, Uehara Naraku extended his palm.

The next moment, the moisture in the air rapidly gathered in his hand, turning into a water ball that automatically rolled into an empty cup.

That was truly amazing!

Even Aokiji was somewhat impressed by this magical performance, especially since this admiral knew that it wasn't magic at all, but rather the ability of Uehara Naraku!

A chill emanated from Uehara Naraku's fingers as he tapped the cup, then placed it in front of Aokiji, smiling and squinting at him.

"I guess you'd like to drink some ice water."

"..."

Aokiji lowered his head.

There were some more square ice cubes in the water glass.

The fifth watch ends…

Continue paying tomorrow…
