Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 418 Ace: My first mate doesn't like you, so let's go to war! (Fourth update!)

The port of Windmill Village.

Uehara Naraku's warship slowly sailed away from the port.

Standing on the warship, Uehara Naraku gazed at the windmill village receding into the distance and said in a low voice, "From this moment on, I will take control of the gears of fate."

"hehe…"

Kisame Hoshigaki had just thrown Dadan into the warship's dungeon when he heard Naraku Uehara's words. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Isn't fate, this illusory thing, always under Naraku-sensei's control?"

Nicole Robin glanced at the two of them silently.

The two of them are really good at praising and flattering each other!

"Oh, that's too much."

Uehara Naraku modestly shook his head, a smile appearing on his face, and softly instructed, "Miss Robin, find a way to spread the news that the hometown of Marine hero Monkey D. Garp has been attacked by Baroque Works throughout the East Blue and the Grand Line!"

"Yes."

Nicole Robin nodded slowly.

Uehara Naraku stretched and continued to add his orders: "Starting tomorrow, have Sasori and Deidara work with Kakuzu to eliminate all of Baroque Works' high-ranking agents. Leave a few alive to leak the information that Crocodile is the boss of Baroque Works!"

"Yes."

Nico Robin silently mourned for Crocodile for a second.

From then on, that crocodile would never have a moment of peace, and he would become a pawn that they could discard at any time.

Nico Robin then dialed Sasori and Kakuzu's Den Den Mushi, asking them to coordinate their efforts to hunt down and capture the Baroque Works employees.

Sasori of the Red Sand indicates that he is ready to cooperate at any time.

Only Kakuzu, upon hearing the news, uttered a chilling statement that sent a shiver down Robin's spine: "I understand. Leave this to me! I'll arrest all the members of Baroque Works right now. Where are you all...?"

"..."

Nicole Robin paused for a second.

Nico Robin had a feeling that Kakuzu might be targeting Baroque Works members, including herself and Kisame Hoshigaki, in exchange for their bounties.

Nico Robin sighed and said softly, "Mr. Kakuzu, stop playing these word games. You should know what Mr. Naraku means..."

"Um."

Kakuzu's cold voice held a hint of regret: "You really aren't willing to cooperate with me? That's a bounty of over 200 million Berries!"

"..."

Nicole Robin silently hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Are all these people really obsessed with making money?

Upon hearing this, Uehara Naraku couldn't help but rub his forehead, feeling a headache coming on from Kakuzu's stinginess. He sighed and continued to take stock of his spoils.

He had a very fruitful time in the windmill village.

Side Quest: Wear the Straw Hat of One Piece (1/1) Quest Completed Rewards: 100000 Life Energy, 100000 Armament Haki, 100000 Observation Haki, and one level Conqueror's Haki.

so…

Windmill Village is the real beginner village!

Wearing that straw hat is like getting a passport to become a world power!

Looking at it just now...

Uehara Naraku's Conqueror's Haki is the known pinnacle.

Side Quest: Defeat Monkey D. Luffy (1/1). Quest complete. Fixed reward: Summoning Contract Bio-Demon.

Summoning Contract Bio-Mage: Allows you to summon the bio-mage Zack to fight, consuming 3000 life energy points.

This reward seems a bit underwhelming.

But with Zack's physique, could he be used to continue bullying Luffy in the future?

Side Quest: Pinch Monkey D. Luffy's Rubber Face. Quest Completed. Reward: 10000 Life Energy, 10000 Armament Haki, 10000 Observation Haki.

These are the rewards I received in Windmill Village.

half a month later.

The warships led by Lieutenant General Garp and Colonel Tina arrived late at Windmill Village, which had already been looted. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

They weren't the first to arrive.

However, Garp is the highest-ranking officer here.

Meanwhile, Garp and Colonel Tina carefully questioned the villagers who had contact with Baroque Works, and eventually learned some of the hidden truth about the looting of Windmill Village from Makino.

This so-called hidden truth...

Anyway, Uehara Naraku's people have left, but Uehara's kind image remains in Makino and Luffy's hearts.

After listening for a while to the so-called hidden truth, Tina, a cigarette dangling from her lips, fell into a melancholy mood: "So it really was Uehara Naraku who provided the Navy with the intelligence and saved Vice Admiral Garp's grandson?"

"That kid sounds pretty good..."

Garp frowned slightly and continued slowly, "Although something still feels off, that guy did save that brat Luffy, otherwise the Navy would definitely be missing an admiral in the future!"

"Hey, Grandpa!"

Sitting at the bar, Luffy complained, "I don't want to be a Marine! I'm going to become the Pirate King!"

"You little rascal!"

Garp grabbed Luffy by the collar and punched his grandson, sending him flying: "You've been too influenced by Shanks!"

The grandfather and grandson are exchanging affectionate words.

Colonel Tina didn't look at it, but just looked at Makino and continued to ask about Uehara Naraku, because this was something that Fleet Admiral Sengoku had specifically instructed her to do!

Sengoku wanted to try to develop Uehara Naraku into an inside man for the navy!

"Um."

Makino nodded and continued in a low voice, "When Mr. Naraku was chatting with Luffy, he mentioned that he once wanted to join the Marines to protect the weak, but unfortunately he has now joined the Baroque Works, a pirate organization, and will never have the chance to join the Marines again."

At this point, a look of worry appeared on Makino's face. The kind-hearted tavern owner said softly, "Mr. Uehara must have entered Baroque Works by accident, but he also saved many innocent people."

After finishing her story, Makino told Colonel Tina everything about their encounter with Uehara, leaving the beautiful naval captain with a sense of regret.

Such a good person...

I was actually forced to join Baroque Works?

I really don't know what Uehara Naraku's past was like...

If that guy had actually joined the Navy as he dreamed, perhaps he would be a lieutenant commander by now?

Is this fate...?

Therefore, when Colonel Tina reported this matter to Marshal Sengoku, she did not forget to give feedback on this point, and even emphasized Uehara Naraku's contribution.

"You don't need to worry about this."

After learning of this intelligence, Fleet Admiral Sengoku solemnly ordered, "From now on, act as if you've never had any contact with Uehara Naraku. Don't reveal any information about him!"

"But…"

"Obey orders!"

After hanging up on Tina's Den Den Mushi, Sengoku dialed another person's Den Den Mushi: "Hey, Rear Admiral X Drake, how's the SWORD secret unit, which I recently instructed you to form to infiltrate the pirates, coming along?"

Upon hearing the reply, Buddha Sengoku spoke in a deep voice, "No need to rush. However, I have a rather good candidate, no, rather, a very suitable candidate. You can try to make contact with him..."

The Buddha Sengoku's beard twitched, and he whispered the name to the person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "That person is currently at Baroque Works, his name is Uehara Naraku. Although he's part of a criminal organization, he still carries out his own way of upholding justice!"

While Sengoku was chatting with Major General Drake on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, another Den Den Mushi in the office rang.

The admiral's face immediately flushed with anger. After connecting to another Den Den Mushi, the sound coming from the Den Den Mushi made his ears ache!

"Marshal, something terrible has happened!"

The naval admiral on the other end of the Den Den Mushi sounded extremely anxious, urgently saying, "The Spade Pirates, who have just arrived in Dressrosa, have declared war on the Shichibukai Doflamingo and his Donquixote Pirates!"

"What?!"

After a moment of shock, the Fleet Admiral regained his composure: "That Ace is definitely a troublemaker! He's even worse than that bastard Roger... Continue monitoring him and report back on the situation!"

"yes!"

The navy's voice still betrayed a hint of panic.

The Grand Line.

The New World, Dressrosa Palace.

Doflamingo, Ace, and Sasuke Uchiha stood atop the royal palace in Dressrosa, facing off against each other.

On the ground was a group of Don Quixote family officials.

To be honest, Doflamingo really didn't want to provoke Ace and Sasuke Uchiha, two super rookies, because he knew how powerful Sasuke Uchiha was.

If possible, Doflamingo would like to recruit them as allies, since they are both quite powerful.

Unfortunately…

While Doflamingo was secretly holding a banquet to meet Ace and Sasuke Uchiha, Portgas D. Ace declared war on the Donquixote Family on the spot at the banquet!

Everyone was having a good time eating...

Why the sudden declaration of war?

"Because Sasuke said he hated this country."

Portgas D. Ace's reason was quite bizarre, somewhat unacceptable to the Donquixote Family: "My first mate is unhappy, yet you're all laughing so happily. Isn't this a provocation against the Spade Pirates?!"

"That idiot Ace!"

Uchiha Sasuke was at a loss for words.

Sasuke bluntly told Ace that he disliked the Donquixote Family and the passionate kingdom of Dressrosa…

Actually, Sasuke wanted to leave a lasting impression on Ace so that he could find a reason to start a war in the future and prevent Ace from objecting... He didn't expect Ace to start a war directly on the grounds that his vice-captain was unhappy!

This idiot, I really don't know what Sasuke should say!

This is really bad...

The two of them started fighting right there in someone else's house!

They have just finished a battle of Conqueror's Haki, which destroyed the entire banquet hall. The battle took place inside the royal palace.

Doflamingo was naturally somewhat powerless against Ace and Sasuke, both of whom possessed Conqueror's Haki. Even Sasuke's Conqueror's Haki alone was something Doflamingo simply couldn't contend with!

"Fufufufufu..."

Doflamingo stared at the two opposite him, a sinister grin spreading across his face. He exclaimed in praise, "Just in terms of Haki, these are two absolutely terrifying rookies..."

"Don't put on airs in front of us."

Sasuke Uchiha drew a Supreme Grade Sword he had stolen in this world, pointed it at Doflamingo, and said coldly, "Doflamingo, what I hate most are guys like you who are weak but like to put on airs..."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Ace couldn't help but scratch the back of his head and laugh out loud, "But Sasuke, aren't you the one on our ship who loves to act cool the most?"

"Shut up! We're fighting!"

A flash of anger crossed Sasuke's face, startling his captain who hurriedly covered his mouth and took a few steps back.

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but rub his forehead...

That idiot captain is really driving me crazy!

That's all, that's all...

I'm behind on another update...

Thanks to Ah Yi O Um, Gong Shang Da Ji, and Xi Niao for the crowdfunding...

By the way, you can tip the character...

Never mind, goodnight, time for bed.
