Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 401 How could a Marine Admiral possibly be a spy for Akatsuki! (Fourth update!)

"Finger gun!"

Aokiji's fingers were about to pierce through Uehara Naraku's body!

However, Uehara Naraku's figure suddenly disappeared in front of Aokiji, causing Aokiji's finger gun to fall into empty air. At this moment, Aokiji's eyes narrowed!

Uehara Naraku appeared beside Aokiji, his fingers landing on Aokiji's head. He smiled, his eyes narrowed, and said, "I happen to know a similar move. Would you like to try it, Mr. Kuzan?"

Although Uehara Naraku seemed to be asking Aokiji for his opinion, his actions showed no hesitation whatsoever!

A splash of water erupted from Uehara Naraku's fingertips!

The water suddenly pierced Aokiji's head, and the Marine Headquarters Admiral's body turned into a ball of ice and fell to the ground!

next moment.

Aokiji's body slowly recovered from the ice.

The rest area of ​​the dueling arena.

Just as Uehara Naraku and Admiral Aokiji were locked in fierce combat, or rather, when Uehara Naraku was unilaterally suppressing Aokiji, Kisame Hoshigaki was leisurely sipping his juice.

Nicole Robin's surprise never faded.

Although she knew that Uehara Naraku was strong enough to fight Aokiji, all she saw now was Uehara Naraku completely suppressing that Marine Headquarters Admiral…

Or rather, Aokiji was almost completely powerless to fight back!

At least for now, Aokiji has been on the defensive, and even when Uehara Naraku moves as if he's strolling around, Aokiji still looks somewhat disheveled.

"Kisame-san..."

Nico Robin, watching the two fighting in the distance, couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is Naraku's ability?"

"Who knows!"

Kisame Hoshigaki pondered for a moment, then grinned and said, "If you really have to say, just think of him as a god walking in the world..."

"God?"

Nico Robin's eyes flickered.

On the dueling field.

Aokiji's battle was completely crushed.

Because the only way for him to defeat Uehara Naraku was to use his extensive combat experience to find an opportunity to break through Uehara Naraku in the nick of time…

But Uehara Naraku never gave him a chance!

This battle was undoubtedly the most frustrating one for Aokiji. No matter what enemy he faced, he had never felt so powerless as he did now.

"A boring battle."

Uehara Naraku's hand gripped Kuzan's throat.

The next moment, Uehara Naraku's eyes suddenly transformed into his innate Rinnegan, rapidly drawing upon Kuzan's Armament Haki!

Just as Kuzan thought Uehara Naraku was going to kill him and hurriedly prepared to transform into his elemental form to escape, he felt the Haki within him rapidly dissipating!

This guy is actually absorbing his domineering aura!

After Aokiji temporarily lost his Haki, he became nothing more than a giant punching bag, unable to put up any effective resistance.

"Mr. Kuzan, you have already lost."

Uehara Naraku condensed a ball of Armament Haki in his hand and punched Aokiji hard in the face, knocking the tall man to the ground!

The blue pheasant lay on its back on the ground.

This admiral was in an unprecedentedly disheveled state.

"Let's go."

Uehara Naraku grabbed him by the collar and dragged the battered admiral towards their rest area.

Aokiji, unconcerned about his image, simply looked up at Uehara and asked, "Hey, Uehara Naraku, what's your real purpose? Why did you take Robin into your organization?"

Anyway, he can't resist now.

Moreover, whether one lives or dies is not up to them for the time being.

In that case, why not go back to square one and try to find out some truth before I die?

By the way...

Let's see if this is Robin's final resting place.

The only slightly troublesome thing is that even though this place is no longer Nico Robin's home, and even if someone wants to use her to do something dangerous, Aokiji can't help her anymore.

Aokiji didn't hear Uehara Naraku's reply, so he could only continue asking, "Hey, Uehara Naraku, you don't know about Nico Robin's past, do you?"

To date, every organization on the high seas that has been associated with Nico Robin has been wiped out, except for her…”

"..."

Upon hearing this, Uehara Naraku finally couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Mr. Kuzan, those organizations that Nico Robin used to join, were they really not secretly eliminated by you?"

"Some of them, I suppose?"

Aokiji scratched his head and replied in a low voice, "Anyway, that woman was born lonely, and anyone who gets involved with her ends up badly. Ohara was like that, Saul was like that, and you won't be an exception..."

After saying this, Aokiji continued in a deep voice, "Starting from the age of eight, that woman Nico Robin used her intelligence to infiltrate some organizations, using them as her hideouts, and then personally orchestrated their destruction..."

Although she is not as strong as you, she is very intelligent; whatever your purpose is, she will definitely mess up your plans; I think you should just kick her out and let that woman fend for herself at sea!

"oh."

Uehara Naraku nodded casually, then suddenly stroked his chin: "Go join an organization, mess up its plans, and then destroy it..."

After pondering for a moment, Uehara Naraku slowly nodded and said, "Why does this feel a little familiar...?"

As for what Aokiji said about danger…

Where is Nicole Robin in danger?

To be honest, the members of Akatsuki are far more dangerous than Nico Robin!

They happened to arrive at the rest area, and Uehara Naraku tossed Kuzan to the ground and sat down on a stone bench.

Nicole Robin overheard their conversation; her face turned deathly pale, and a look of terror appeared in her eyes.

Just as Nico Robin looked tense, Uehara Naraku calmly asked, "Hey, Robin, is your past really as he described?"

"..."

After a long silence.

Nicole Robin finally nodded slowly.

"Yes."

"Hmm..."

Uehara Naraku stroked his chin and suddenly asked, "If I were to send you to infiltrate a pirate crew in the future, would you be willing to go?"

"..."

Nicole Robin was silent for a moment.

The woman finally nodded slowly and said, "If it is Lord Naraku's order, I will carry it out diligently."

"very good."

Uehara Naraku patted her shoulder, a smile playing on his lips. "Well then... how about I give you a reward now?"

"Um?"

Nicole Robin looked up in confusion.

Suddenly, an ice blade appeared in Uehara Naraku's hand, and he placed it on Nico Robin's shoulder, just an inch away from her neck!

Kuzan's eyes suddenly narrowed!

He never expected that Uehara Naraku would be so ruthless as to kill him!

"Mr. Naraku..."

Nico Robin's eyes flickered with panic for a second before she regained her composure: "What do you mean by this?"

"It doesn't mean anything."

Uehara Naraku slowly melted his ice blade into steam. He calmly sat down in his chair, crossed his legs on the table, and slowly said, "Didn't you notice Mr. Kuzan's expression when I was about to kill you?"

"..."

Nico Robin turned around with lingering fear, only to see that the admiral's expression was slightly complicated.

This happened seventeen years ago. At that time, she was still living in her hometown of Ohara, and her only friend was a naval admiral named Saulo.

Unfortunately, Ohara was targeted by the World Government with a Buster Call for researching the forbidden Poneglyphs, leading to its annihilation.

One of the leaders was Aokiji, who was standing in front of them.

However, after killing her friend Saul, Aokiji respected Saul's wish and agreed to let Nico Robin go.

The relationship between the two people...

It's actually quite complicated; there are both enemies and friends.

Uehara Naraku calmly opened his palm and said softly, "Alright, Mr. Kuzan, stop acting in front of me..."

Why do people always put on a show in front of him...?

These people have no idea that he is the real movie star?

Uehara Naraku reached for his juice, waved it off, and said, "Forget it, you can handle your own affairs internally later. Anyway, some members of our organization love watching drama, especially the more melodramatic the story, the more they enjoy it!"

"Mr. Naraku, what does this mean?"

Nico Robin's mouth dropped open in surprise. She couldn't help but glance down at Kuzan on the ground and whispered, "You're not thinking of getting a Marine Admiral to defect, are you? How could that be possible..."

"How could that be?"

Uehara Naraku shook his head and said with a smile, "This is a Marine Admiral, think of all the intelligence he could provide us in the future... It would be such a waste to let him defect!"

"..."

Nico Robin's expression shifted from astonishment to subtlety, and at that moment, her gaze towards Uehara Naraku was subtly impolite.

This guy…

How incredibly far-fetched can one's imagination be!

How could a naval admiral possibly be a spy for Akatsuki!

Hearing Uehara Naraku's words from the side, Aokiji suddenly spoke up slowly, "Of course, if you're willing to believe me..."

"..."

Nico Robin's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Although Aokiji's lie sounds really perfunctory, as a general, you should at least stand up for yourself. This is just too spineless!

After all, how could a Marine Admiral possibly become a spy for a small organization? Or was he trying to use this opportunity to become a double agent and extract intelligence from Akatsuki for the Navy?

Nico Robin immediately saw an opportunity to retaliate against Aokiji, the Marine Admiral who had been deliberately rubbing salt into her wounds from seventeen years ago…

It truly is the cycle of karma now…

Nicole Robin was even somewhat glad that she had joined Akatsuki.

Nico Robin looked at Uehara Naraku and said softly, "Mr. Naraku, Admiral Aokiji of the Marine Headquarters came from the Marine Training Camp!"

Furthermore, Admiral Aokiji is a disciple of former Marine Admiral Zephyr, and is said to be the most likely successor to the next Fleet Admiral, displaying a somewhat blind loyalty to the World Government.

There's absolutely no way this kind of person would genuinely agree to be our spy. I suspect he's using this opportunity to escape back home and extract information from us!

After saying that, Nico Robin slowly extended her finger, a cold glint in her eyes: "Mr. Naraku, why don't I kill him instead!"

"..."

Aokiji's expression was subtle.

He let this woman go during the O'Hara incident, but now he's going to die at her hands?

like…

Is that acceptable?

Four hundred chapters already.

One more chapter... Let's stir things up...

Everyone, go to bed early! You can watch it again tomorrow morning!
