Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 405 We've arrived in Loguetown. Please take your luggage and disembark in an orderly fashion...

Tina was a little confused.

Uehara Naraku's aura was so deceptive that she couldn't help but feel that Baroque Works was some kind of extraordinary organization.

The beautiful naval captain frowned and subconsciously turned her head to ask, "Baroque Works... Tina seems to have heard of it..."

The naval soldier beside her cautiously replied, "Captain Tina, Baroque Works is a criminal organization with many wanted criminals. They are very active in the first half of the Grand Line. We've arrested one before..."

Because the Baroque Works was particularly active in the Alabasta shipping route, which happened to include a sea area under the jurisdiction of Colonel Tina, the naval soldiers on this warship really remembered it.

After a moment of silence, Tina's face flashed with rage. She stepped onto the railing of the warship and charged towards Uehara Naraku and the others!

Tina is very angry!

The beautiful colonel instantly felt that Uehara Naraku was toying with her, and was about to personally take action to capture this audacious guy!

Uehara Naraku, seeing the audacious female colonel, kicked her in the waist, sending the Devil Fruit user flying into the sea!

The battle ended so abruptly…

If a Devil Fruit user is kicked into the sea, he will instantly lose all his strength under the seawater, making him completely vulnerable to being slaughtered.

One minute later.

Uehara Naraku sat on the warship, respectfully moved a chair to the deck, and invited Nico Robin to sit down. Kisame Hoshigaki also stood beside Robin, a faint smile on his face.

Before them lay Captain Tina, a beautiful naval officer, lying on her back on the deck, her face showing a hint of despair as she gazed at the azure sky above the windless zone.

This scene made Nicole Robin's eye twitch.

At this moment, Robin felt like he was going to be blamed too!

Uehara Naraku glared at the group of trembling Marine soldiers and said sternly, "We are members of Baroque Works, and this is our vice president, Nico Robin!"

"..."

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Nicole Robin's face.

Okay, now there's no doubt. I reckon her bounty of 80 million Berries will definitely increase even further after a while.

I really don't know what Aokiji's expression is like...

Compared to Admiral Aokiji, as a member of Akatsuki, with his bounty increased, it seems more worrying to worry about that guy named Kakuzu.

Uehara Naraku didn't even glance at Robin's expression, and continued in a deep voice, "From this moment on, your naval warships have been requisitioned by Baroque Works! If you want to save your captain's life, immediately change course and head to Loguetown in the East Blue!"

"Well…"

A slightly bolder naval soldier stepped forward and hesitantly said, "We're also heading to Loguetown..."

"very good."

Uehara Naraku clapped his hands, a smile spreading across his face. "What a fateful encounter! Hey? Aren't you happy? Let's give our destiny a round of applause!"

"..."

A group of sailors looked at each other in bewilderment.

Every sailor had a question mark on their forehead.

The next moment, they saw the tall fish-man from Baroque Works reveal a ferocious expression, wielding a strange knife as he brought it down on Colonel Tina.

clap clap clap...

Applause resounded throughout the entire warship.

Nico Robin's eyelids twitched as she watched this scene. These marines must hate Baroque Works to death!

Uehara Naraku spread his hands in satisfaction, signaling everyone to quiet down: "I hope we can get along well from now on. Once we arrive in Loguetown, you can disembark with your luggage!"

"..."

All the marines stared speechlessly at Uehara Naraku.

That's like he's talking about his ship!

You're not only taking a ride, but you actually want to rob their warships?!

This is a very serious offense. It's far more likely to provoke the navy's hostility than killing the king of Drum Kingdom, and you'll definitely face a naval manhunt in the future!

Uehara Naraku looked at the speechless marines, his face gradually becoming serious. He continued in a deep voice, "I hope you remember today's lesson. In the future, absolutely... absolutely never provoke Baroque Works. Next time, you really won't be so lucky!"

"..."

The beautiful naval captain lying on the ground bit her lip.

At that moment, Colonel Tina remembered all the humiliation she had suffered, whether it was from that Nico Robin, or Uehara Naraku, or the entire Baroque Works...

Tina won't let any of them get away!

Sooner or later, they will definitely imprison all members of the Baroque Works in Impel Down, the underwater prison!

for sure!

We will not let a single one escape!

Unfortunately, Colonel Tina only held onto this idea for a day before deciding to save that guy named Uehara Naraku first.

Because Colonel Tina saw that when the fishman named Kisame Hoshigaki tried to kill a Marine soldier, Naraku Uehara stopped Kisame.

Ten days later.

The naval vessel sailed out of the doldrums.

During these days, Uehara Naraku became the most respected person on the warship.

He would always persuade Kisame to lay down his sword and save the marines whenever Kisame wanted to kill.

He is truly a great person.

Even Navy Captain Tina couldn't help but feel that this person had stumbled into the wrong organization and wanted to try to save him.

At this moment.

Uehara Naraku sat on the railing of the warship, took a sip of juice, and glanced at the mission rewards he had received.

Side Quest: Crossing the Calm Belt (1/1), Quest Completed, Rewards: 10000 Life Energy, 10000 Armament Haki, 10000 Observation Haki.

This was just the beginning for him.

Next up... is the real newbie village perk giveaway!

As Uehara Naraku slowly flipped through the map of the East Blue, intending to plan a mission route, a clear female voice reached his ears.

"Hey, Tina really doesn't understand why someone like you would join a criminal organization. You seem so sunny and cheerful, and although your personality is a bit awful, you're undoubtedly a good person..."

The beautiful naval captain stood beside Uehara Naraku and continued, "Tina has been secretly watching you these past few days, protecting the ordinary naval soldiers on board from that terrifying fish-man and the demon child Nico Robin!"

After saying this, the beautiful colonel said in a deep voice, "As long as you're willing to join the Navy, Tina can guarantee you won't be held accountable!"

"I'm sorry, I can't agree!"

Uehara Naraku shook his head, a look of apology on his face. He said softly, "Since I joined Baroque Works, there's no going back..."

As Uehara Naraku said this, his face gradually became somewhat fearful: "You're just a naval colonel, you have no idea how terrifying the boss of our Baroque Works is!"

"If I dared to betray Baroque Works, the boss would definitely kill me. Don't think that just because you're an ordinary naval captain, even a naval admiral or a fleet admiral would be a match for the boss of Baroque Works!"

"..."

Colonel Tina looked puzzled.

Just as she was about to press for more information, she saw Nicole Robin approaching, and the naval captain dejectedly shut his mouth.

"You can start packing your things now."

Nico Robin felt a bitter taste in her mouth, but smiled as she looked at Colonel Tina: "We'll be in Loguetown soon. You marines can leave this ship now."

"Vice President."

Uehara Naraku stood up and looked at Nico Robin with utmost respect: "I'll handle this. You can go and rest!"

"…good."

Nicole Robin nodded absently.

Please don't do that, I'm a little scared!

I really don't understand why Uehara Naraku would put on such an act in front of an ordinary naval captain... I just don't get it... I just don't get it...

If Uehara Naraku knew why Robin had this question, he would tell her directly that it was because this Captain Tina would definitely spread the threat of Baroque Works and Crocodile within the Navy in the future... After this incident of stealing a warship, she would definitely keep a close eye on Baroque Works!

Most importantly, this beautiful colonel seems to be a little soft-hearted.

Facing pirates and criminals who pose little threat, the beautiful colonel seems unconcerned about their past, even directly taking them in to join the Navy. This can be seen as Uehara Naraku paving the way for her future cleanup and infiltration into the Navy…

It's still uncertain whether he will join the navy in the future.

In any case, it's always good to have more options in life.

At this moment, Uehara Naraku is someone who has strayed from the Baroque Works and gone astray, yet still has a sliver of conscience and wants to turn back.

After Nico Robin gracefully departed, Colonel Tina clenched her fists and looked at Uehara Naraku, whispering instructions to him.

"Hey, Mr. Uehara, don't do too many bad things with Baroque Works, otherwise Tina won't be able to protect you in the future!"

And no matter who the mastermind behind this criminal company is, Tina will definitely get him arrested and thrown in Impelton Jail!

"Impossible."

Uehara Naraku shook his head and said in a low voice, "You can't even imagine the strength and identity of the Baroque Works boss... Once we get to Loguetown, I hope you can forget about today!"

"Tina will definitely do it!"

Colonel Tina was still somewhat indignant.

After leaving the doldrums, the warship's speed increased dramatically, and they soon arrived at their destination.

Rogge Town.

The town of beginnings and endings.

This is the hometown of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, the place where he was executed, and the starting point of the Great Pirate Era!

"Want my treasure? If you do, go find it at sea! I've left it all there!"

Because Gol D. Roger uttered those words before his execution, he completely awakened the wildness of the world. From then on, many people set sail and became pirates, searching for the treasure One Piece left by the Pirate King at Laugh Tale.

Those who are weak believe that place holds countless treasures; those who are strong believe that it holds the truth of this world.

The warship slowly came to a stop on the dock.

"We've arrived in Loguetown."

Uehara Naraku smiled, his eyes narrowed, looking quite sunny. He spoke softly, "Please take your luggage and disembark in an orderly manner..."

Third update...

and also…

I plan to take a break and adjust my sleep schedule after I finish writing Chapter 4!
