Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 421 I Need to Let People Know I'm a Good Person (Third Update!)

The Spade Pirates are gone.

They left behind a Dressrosa filled with ruins.

Uchiha Sasuke single-handedly defeated the entire Donquixote Family, including Doflamingo, the Heavenly Demon. In just one day, the Spade Pirates became Dressrosa's nightmare.

On the high seas, on the ship of the Spade Pirates.

As is customary, Sasuke Uchiha defeated a Shichibukai and his pirate crew, which should have been a time for celebration and a banquet. However, none of the members of the Spade Pirates were in the mood for a banquet.

After Ace and Sasuke Uchiha returned to the ship, they received the latest news delivered by the news bird.

The criminal organization Baroque Works claims to have robbed the hometown of Navy hero Vice Admiral Garp. The Navy declares it will launch a full-scale attack on Baroque Works, and the bounties for all Baroque Works members will be doubled!

"Has something happened in Windmill Village...?"

Portgas D. Ace gripped the newspaper tightly, a flash of anger crossing his face: "If those bastards dare to hurt anyone, they're dead!"

"Captain, no one is hurt."

"Yes...we all saw it."

A group of people were talking all at once.

Whether the navy was trying to appease the people or it was the truth, the Baroque Works group ultimately did not dare to harm the civilians in the village.

As for things like Vice Admiral Garp's grandson being injured or a bandit leader being captured, there's no need to mention them in the newspapers...

At least Ace can rest easy for now.

Only Uchiha Sasuke's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, because he was the only one present who knew the truth. Who knew what outrageous things that lunatic Uehara Naraku would do in Windmill Village!

Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku was truly troubled, wondering why one major incident after another was happening on the high seas, leaving him somewhat mentally exhausted.

This admiral was naturally not worried about the Windmill Village issue. In fact, the Windmill Village incident was not good for the Navy's reputation, but it was actually quite beneficial. In addition to increasing the Navy's anger towards pirates, it also gave them the hope of developing a Navy spy named Uehara Naraku.

The trouble Sengoku is facing now is that he has just received news that Portgas D. Ace and Sasuke Uchiha, the captain and first mate, have caused trouble as soon as they entered the New World...

Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was defeated by Sasuke Uchiha.

This is really a difficult situation to handle...

The status of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is related to the balance of the sea.

"The news can't be suppressed..."

Sengoku slowly fed the documents in his hand to the goat, and sighed softly, "Doflamingo's identity is also difficult to deal with."

"Was even that good boy Dover defeated?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru's face also showed a hint of worry: "Is there really any need to deal with this? Borsalino and Kuzan both lost to Uchiha Sasuke... If Doflamingo defeats Uchiha Sasuke, our Navy will be in an even more awkward position!"

"Um?"

Sengoku glanced at his old friend with surprise, then slowly nodded and said, "You're right. It would be more awkward for us if Doflamingo won, but it would be most advantageous for the Navy if he lost."

Otherwise...

A naval admiral would be disgraced.

The Kingdom of Dressrosa.

Doflamingo and Vice Admiral Tsuru share the same idea.

After being defeated by Sasuke Uchiha, Doflamingo was initially worried about being kicked out of his very advantageous position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but now he has come to terms with it.

That's someone who defeated the World Government's top combatant, an admiral!

He's just a mere Shichibukai, it's quite normal for him to lose!

Of course, it was impossible for Doflamingo to swallow this insult, but what angered and terrified him even more were the words that Sasuke Uchiha had said.

Doflamingo is currently recuperating in a relatively quiet place, while he has assigned other officers to deal with the riots that have broken out in the country.

Because of the humiliation Sasuke Uchiha had inflicted before leaving, this former Shichibukai was no longer calm and was now filled with anger and unease.

After a long while.

Doflamingo slowly calmed himself down and dialed the Den Den Mushi of Kakuzu, whom he had met in Mock Town: "Mr. Kakuzu, do you know Uchiha Sasuke?"

"Um."

The other corner of the Den Den Mushi was quite busy.

After a long while, Kakuzu finally spoke up and continued, "Do you want to know any information about Sasuke? You can apply to have his information sold to you; it should be relatively easy to get permission."

Information about Uchiha Sasuke isn't cheap, but it's worth it. Just so you know, Uchiha Sasuke is incredibly strong; he's one of the top fighters even among us.

Only if you obtain the intelligence will you have even a slight chance of standing up to Uchiha Sasuke; otherwise, you will suffer a crushing defeat and be humiliated by that lowly brat, who has absolutely no manners.

"..."

Doflamingo fell silent.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Perhaps he should have dialed the number sooner, otherwise he wouldn't have been humiliated by Sasuke Uchiha so many times.

It's too late now.

Sasuke Uchiha defeated the entire Donquixote Clan and severely injured him, causing the King of Dressrosa to lose face.

After a moment of silence, Doflamingo asked another question: "It sounds like Kakuzu and Sasuke Uchiha don't get along very well..."

"Um."

Kakuzu's voice carried a hint of nonchalance: "Uchiha Sasuke has a bounty of over 9 million, and I really want to kill him."

Doflamingo: "..."

This Kakuzu... seems to really love money.

Even after Doflamingo witnessed Sasuke Uchiha's power, he no longer dared to provoke him. Unexpectedly, Kakuzu still wanted to kill him for the bounty!

Kakuzu's thought process...

What a money-grubbing bastard!

"Mr. Kakuzu."

Doflamingo's voice became more serious as he spoke in a somber tone, "I hope to have the opportunity to meet the person behind you. I was defeated by that Uchiha Sasuke."

"..."

Kakuzu fell silent once again.

After a long while, Kakuzu's voice coldly replied, "Then congratulations on surviving. Your fate is sealed. All you have to do now is wait."

"Huh? Kakuzu, did Doflamingo survive?"

That was Hidan's voice; he was right next to Kakuzu, listening to the phone call.

Kakuzu responded in a deep voice to his teammate: "Yes, every piece is a valuable creature."

"Tsk, although I don't understand why Sasuke let him live, I feel that Doflamingo would have been better off dead, after all, he offended him the moment he opened his mouth..."

pat.

The Den Den Mushi (transparent telephone snail) was disconnected.

After hearing Kakuzu and Hidan's conversation, Doflamingo's expression grew increasingly grim. Were they even speaking human language?!

What do you mean, "It's better to die"?

These guys are a real bunch of scoundrels...

the other side.

The first half of the Grand Line.

After Kakuzu hung up Doflamingo's Den Den Mushi, he slowly dealt with the two people in front of him. They were members of Baroque Works, and the Grudge Fear had entered their bodies and taken out their hearts.

After Kakuzu absorbed the Earth Grudge Fear into his body, he sensed the power he had gained: "The power of the Blast Fruit and the power of the Weight Fruit, huh?"

"Alright, alright."

Hidan yawned, covered his nose, and couldn't help but say, "Hurry up and clean this up, it smells awful!"

"These two guys have bounties on them."

After shaking his head, Kakuzu used the Earthly Edge Fist to stitch the corpses back together, then carried the two corpses on his shoulders: "Wasting money is the most shameful thing in the world."

After saying that, Kakuzu added, "But we need to seal the body first. Didn't the Navy say in the newspaper that they're going to increase the bounty for Baroque Works?"

"Then let's wait until the information about them being members of Baroque Works leaks out and the bounty increases before we take their bodies to exchange for the reward!"

At this point, Kakuzu couldn't help but pull out his bounty poster again: "Hmm... Kisame, Nico Robin and Uehara's bounties have gone up again..."

Yes.

Their bounty has increased again.

Nico Robin, 240 million Berries!

Kisame Hoshigaki, 230 million Berries!

Uehara Naraku, 6 million Berries!

It's understandable that Kakuzu was tempted by this number, since the combined bounties of the group exceeded 5 million Berries, which is a very rare and large bounty in the first half of the Grand Line!

Uehara Naraku was also looking through his bounty. He noticed that the symbol that originally only allowed capture alive had disappeared from the bounty poster. Did the Navy no longer want him?

Looking at the wanted poster, Uehara Naraku couldn't help but sigh, "Kisame, do you think I still have a chance to be a good person?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Kisame Hoshigaki grinned and said, "Lord Uehara... is the god not quite happy with what he's done?"

"..."

After overhearing their conversation, Nicole Robin shook her head speechlessly and looked down at her bounty poster.

For more than a decade before, Robin's bounty remained unchanged. However, after joining the Akatsuki organization, Robin's bounty skyrocketed and is now 240 million Berries!

The weakest of the three, yet with the highest bounty...

Kakuzu's Den Den Mushi (snail phone) now comes almost every few days.

"Let's go to Shimotsuki Village to replenish our supplies."

Uehara Naraku glanced at his system panel and said softly, "I just happened to sense that the Revolutionary Army was there. They are people who are very difficult to see."

After Uehara Naraku finished speaking, he continued, "Now I'll go to the dungeon and talk to Ms. Dadan, so she'll know that I'm actually a good person."

Third update

Maybe it exists, maybe it doesn't.
