Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 411 How Our Baroque Works Is...

On the warship.

Nami immediately saw Kisame Hoshigaki and Nico Robin, and her expression suddenly became extremely complicated, causing her to frown.

"Does your Baroque Works also have fishmen?"

The next moment, Nami's expression changed.

娜美陡然想起了另外两个悬赏令，分别是悬赏1亿2千万的妮可·罗宾和悬赏1亿1千5百万的干柿鬼鲛！

These are all notorious pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million!

"Kisame is a mid-level agent of Baroque Works."

After Uehara Naraku finished speaking, he patted her little head and continued in a deep voice, "You have my bounty poster, so you should also have Kisame's bounty poster, right?"

"Kisame is a strongman capable of easily defeating a Marine Vice Admiral. Watch your words; he's the strongest force our Baroque Works will use to attack Jinbe, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"..."

Nami nodded with a complicated expression.

Uehara Naraku opened his palm and casually continued, "There's another one, Miss Nico Robin, who is the vice president of our Baroque Works. Never offend her, or you'll suffer a very terrible fate!"

"..."

Since meeting Uehara, Nico Robin has been increasingly silent, and you know perfectly well who you've offended and who will suffer the worst possible fate!

Actually, navigators are still somewhat useful.

After Nami figured out the warship's route, she led them around to avoid reefs and find suitable currents for navigation, allowing them to reach the Arlong Pirates as quickly as possible.

They're desperate to send the Arlong Pirates to their deaths!

On their way to the Arlong Pirates, Uehara Naraku kept mentioning the name of Jinbe, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and splashing dirty water on him; at the same time, he casually asked Nami about her story with the Arlong Pirates, trying to incite her hatred.

five years ago.

The Arlong Pirates invaded Cocoyasi Village, where Nami lived, killed Nami's foster mother Bellemere, and have been exploiting and oppressing the villagers of Cocoyasi Village ever since.

Therefore, Nami and Arlong, the leader of the Arlong Pirates, made a pact.

Nami will continue to draw sea charts for Arlong, and after collecting 100 million Berries, Arlong will set the villagers of Cocoyasi free.

This agreement is pretty ridiculous...

Uehara Naraku slowly began, "To be honest, if someone could give me 100 million Berries, I would have her collect another 100 million Berries..."

"Then you're really not human..."

After Nami finished speaking, she immediately realized her mistake.

As a petty thief, he naturally had to be flexible and adaptable, so he quickly bowed and apologized to Uehara Naraku: "I'm sorry, Uehara-nii-san, I was wrong, my attitude was wrong..."

"Little sister, it's alright."

Uehara Naraku patted Nami's head with a smile and said, "I'm a kind person, why would I hold a grudge against a little girl like you!"

"Mmm..."

Nami nodded quickly.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Honestly, this is a pirate with a bounty of thirty million, how could he possibly stoop to the level of a fifteen-year-old girl!

That's impossible!

As their warship slowly sailed into the waters of the Arlong Pirates, the sea monster MooMoo, responsible for the outer defense, was unaware of their arrival due to the sea stone beneath the warship. The ship thus arrived directly at the Arlong Pirates' lair.

Looking at Nami, who couldn't hide her excitement and pain, Uehara Naraku gently ruffled her hair and asked softly, "Hmm... how do you want them to die?"

"The more painful their death, the better!"

Nami clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips almost digging into her palms, and continued in a low voice, "Just like Bellemere back then..."

"oh."

Uehara Naraku nodded slowly.

To make them suffer a painful death, the price won't be cheap!

He's going to waste a lot of time...

Oh well, now I have another reason to take Nami's family's treasure and orange grove.

This is a fair trade.

No one can say that he will bully the little girl later.

Evil Dragon Park.

A group of fish-men live here.

The leader is Arlong, the leader of the Arlong Pirates. He uses this place as his lair and rules over more than twenty surrounding villages, hoping to gradually realize his dream of dominating the East Blue and making the fish-men even greater.

A somewhat gruff voice echoed through Dragon Park: "Hey, Hachi, got this? Next time, go all out on those humans. It doesn't matter if they die! We fish-men are inherently superior to humans. Humans are just inferior creatures anyway..."

"I understand, Ah Long."

Another somewhat foolish murloc responded.

After saying that, the foolish fishman spoke up again: "By the way, Arlong, Nami seems to have gone out again. Isn't she in danger...?"

"Hmph...she's probably gone to collect treasure!"

Aaron grinned, revealing a mouthful of real shark teeth: "Give her some hope, let her try! How could she possibly collect 100 million Berries! Even if she did, I'd be even less likely to let her leave..."

"Hahahaha..."

Boom!

While they were still talking inside, someone punched open the wall of Arlong Park and walked step by step along the water into Arlong Park.

Every fishman couldn't help but stare at this person.

Because they had never seen anyone who could walk on water.

"A bunch of fishmen, I thought there would be mermaids!"

Uehara Naraku strolled leisurely on the water, looking at the many fish-men present, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Let me think... fish-man slaves are the cheapest, I think they're around 50,000 Berries each?"

Uehara Naraku's gaze slowly fell on one of the fishmen. Looking at the red markings on the fishman's body, he suddenly laughed and said, "He still has the Sun Pirates' insignia on him, and he's a group of former runaway slaves, so he's even less valuable..."

"…asshole!"

Sitting in the middle, a fish-man with a saw-toothed shark nose suddenly crushed the armrest of his chair. It was none other than Arlong, the leader of the Arlong Pirates!

This guy directly exposed the true situation of the fish-men on the Grand Line, and pierced through his long-standing sense of inferiority.

Arlong is now leading his pirate crew to oppress the people in many villages in the East Blue. In fact, mermaids and fish-men on the Grand Line are a species that are discriminated against.

Even though Arlong desperately tries to instill in himself and those around him the idea that fish-men are superior beings and humans are inferior beings, the opposite is true on the Grand Line…

Fishmen are never noble!

They were still slaves sold in the Sabaody Archipelago!

Not only Arlong, but the other fishmen's faces clearly turned furious.

They are not slaves!

However, Uehara Naraku is right. The Arlong Pirates did indeed originate from a slave pirate crew, namely the Sun Pirates, founded by the great fishman Fisher Tiger!

only…

Most of the members of the Sun Pirates are slaves of the Celestial Dragons, and the Sun Pirates' mark is also to cover up the Celestial Dragon's hoofprint.

Aaron initially joined the group voluntarily to follow Fisher Tiger.

That was a period of history that they found extremely humiliating!

Uehara Naraku's words instantly enraged all the fishmen!

Nami, who had been hiding on the warship, stared at the scene in astonishment. In five years, Nami had never seen these fishmen so enraged!

The anger emanating from these murlocs now…

She was just as furious as when she witnessed Bellemere's murder!

A fish-man suddenly lunged at Uehara Naraku, roaring furiously, "Damn it, don't you dare slander Tiger's Sun Pirates!"

Uehara Naraku suddenly gripped the fishman's throat, snapping his neck expressionlessly: "Then I'll send you to see him!"

One after another, the fishmen around him walked towards Uehara Naraku, but they were all kicked away by Uehara Naraku. There was no one who could stop him!

Uehara Naraku kicked a fishman into the sea, then casually looked up at Arlong sitting in the middle: "What a pity, you only have fishmen here, they're worthless... Hmm, Arlong, your corpse is worth twenty million Berries."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ah Long's expression turned even uglier.

Uehara Naraku looked at Arlong and suddenly smiled, saying, "Oh, by the way, your sister Shirley is a mermaid, so she should be worth more than you... After our Baroque Works breaks through Jinbe's Fishman Pirates and enters Fishman Island, guess what I'll do to her?"

"asshole!"

Arlong clenched his fists tightly. He remembered the wanted poster he had seen and recognized Uehara Naraku in front of him: "You, a nobody with a 30 million bounty, dare to say you're going to attack that bastard Jinbe?"

Arlong's gaze slowly moved and landed on Nami as she stepped off the warship. His face was filled with rage: "Nami, did you bring this enemy here?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Nami's face showed fear and unease as she said, "Arlong... I don't know... They initially asked me where the Arlong Pirates were..."

At that moment, she was just like a frightened little girl.

The next moment, she suddenly transformed into a vengeful woman!

Now, all the fishmen in Arlong's crew have been easily defeated by Uehara Naraku, leaving only Arlong. Clearly, Uehara Naraku has completely secured the victory!

When Nami looked at Arlong, a sudden smile spread across her face, a smile that was somewhat chilling: "But I heard they came from the Grand Line to kill you, so I found the fastest route, chose the most favorable winds and waves, and brought them here immediately!"

"..."

Arlong's anger intensified, and he suddenly charged towards Uehara Naraku: "Hmph, you bastard, don't underestimate me..."

"I didn't underestimate them; in fact, I overestimated them."

Uehara Naraku kicked him, sending him flying into the wall. With just one kick, Arlong was left severely injured and on the verge of death.

Uehara Naraku slowly turned to look at Nami, a devilish smile spreading across his face: "Hey, little Nami, you're in charge of hanging him up here to die in the sun, aren't you?"

"..."

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Nami's forehead.

This guy is indeed ten or a hundred times stronger than these fishmen, but his cruelty seems to be ten or a hundred times greater than theirs as well!

"You seem hesitant?"

Uehara Naraku chuckled and slowly extended his finger, making a shooting gesture. Armament Haki instantly shot out from his finger, piercing straight through Arlong's head!

"Forget it, the former Sun Pirates' fishman pirates are just a bunch of slaves who can't be sold for much money, so we at Baroque Works are too lazy to waste our time on them."

Uehara Naraku opened his palm and glanced at a bubble at the bottom of the water, where a fish-man he had deliberately let go was.

That fishman is that stupid Hachi, who was deliberately sent to deliver a message to Jinbe and his gang, just in time to carry out this matter according to Mr. Crocodile's plan!

Uehara Naraku continued slowly, "Once our Baroque Works defeats Jinbe's Fishman Pirates, we can go directly to Fishman Island to capture mermaids who fetch even higher prices..."

"..."

Below the water's surface.

Xiao Ba looked terrified.

Was Baroque Works' bigger goal actually to attack Jinbe's Fishman Pirates?

I guarantee I'll be up at least five hours today!

Maybe it can even be updated six times!

I'm going to sleep a little longer!
