Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 429 News from the New World Spade Pirates

Uehara Naraku and Doflamingo are truly birds of a feather.

As the saying goes, it takes three years to learn good things, but only three minutes to learn bad things. When it comes to being a mastermind and plotting behind the scenes, the two of them actually have a lot in common.

Uehara Naraku once fooled a mastermind who had been behind the scenes for a thousand years. He discussed acting skills, how to manipulate others, and numerous techniques for shifting blame…

These experiences greatly benefited Doflamingo.

"Don't always be the bad guy."

Uehara Naraku casually imparted his experience to Doflamingo: "When you appear to be an extremely evil person, you must make sure that others discover the glimmer of humanity within you, so that they believe you can still be redeemed..."

"Fufufufufu... Interesting, interesting."

Doflamingo slowly nodded, smiling as he continued, "But I'm currently trapped in the dark world. No matter how you look at it, it seems hard to say whether others will believe I'm still someone who can be saved, right?"

"Then let's pick someone suitable to take the blame!"

Uehara Naraku's gaze shifted slightly as he said softly, "You still have trade ties with Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, right? Then find a way to pin all the evil on Kaido and create a victim image for yourself..."

When Uehara Naraku reached this point, he slowly continued, "Kaido is one of the Four Emperors. No matter how many accusations he carries, he won't care, and he won't refute the opinions of others about him..."

"…yes."

Doflamingo slowly nodded.

After this most powerful Shichibukai joined Akatsuki, Uehara Naraku's influence penetrated deep into the New World, allowing him to use him to carry out his plans.

If Kisame Hoshigaki were to eliminate Jinbe in the future, and Kakuzu were to replace Gecko Moria, then the Seven Warlords of the Sea would have three positions…

Uehara Naraku gazed at the sea, stroking his chin, wondering if Sasuke's infiltration of the Whitebeard Pirates had gone smoothly...

After all, someone there is going to be Crocodile's next boss after he leaves.

This is called seamless integration.

The Grand Line, the New World.

The Spade Pirates have clearly failed to live up to Uehara Naraku's expectations.

At this time, they had not yet reached the Whitebeard Pirates' territory, but instead stumbled into the Red-Haired Pirates' territory. Portgas D. Ace insisted on visiting Shanks to thank him for saving Luffy back then.

However, this pirate crew was quite different; two supernovas whose bounties could easily surpass one billion were on their way into the New World, and they practically stormed through uncharted territory...

No matter how you look at it, it seems like he's going to challenge Shanks for the title of one of the Four Emperors!

"Are these super rookies going to challenge me?"

When Shanks heard the news, a hearty smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Hahahaha... Finally, someone else is challenging my position! There has never been such a formidable newcomer on the high seas!"

"The captain is being looked down upon!"

"Hahahaha... the captain's title is too insignificant!"

"Let me go take a look!"

Ben Beckman, the vice-captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, loaded his gun. His expression wasn't as cheerful as his companions'. He spoke up, "They almost took down Kizaru. The Spade Pirates aren't to be underestimated!"

"Mmm..."

Red-haired Shanks nodded hastily, smiling as he continued, "But we can't be too rude! That's a super rookie unlike any we've ever seen on the high seas, Beckman, let's go meet him!"

"As the captain, you should at least wait until the very end to appear!"

Ben Beckman took a drag of his cigarette and said casually, "You just wait here, I'll bring them to you!"

After saying that, Ben Beckman casually pointed to a few officers and left their base. He was absolutely confident that he could manipulate the Spade Pirates at will.

As a figure in the New World, Ben Beckman is known for his strength, but he also possesses a level of strategy that surpasses that of many others in the world.

In just a few days.

While searching for Shanks, the Spade Pirates inexplicably fell into the Red-Haired Pirates' encirclement and were completely surrounded by a group of powerful enemies.

Ben Beckman's calculations were all correct.

No one in the Spade Pirates saw through his plan, and the entire Spade Pirates were surrounded by Ben Beckman and his men on a deserted island.

Portgas D. Ace sat dejectedly on the island, watching the pirates closing in from all directions: "Hey, we just wanted to visit Shanks..."

"Little brat."

A loud voice interrupted his thoughts: "If you want to see our captain, you'd better surrender now!"

"good…"

"Shut up!"

Sasuke Uchiha interrupted his captain, his voice grim, "Let's defeat these guys first, capture their executives, and then take down Shanks!"

"Huh?"

Ace scratched his head, then hurriedly reached for Sasuke's ninja sword: "Sasuke... wait, wait... Shanks is Luffy's savior!"

Ace reached up and pulled his hat down, then smiled and said, "If we do that, Luffy will definitely be upset... But if we go and meet him, I believe this misunderstanding can be cleared up!"

"Stop joking!"

Sasuke Uchiha shook his head and said in a deep voice, "You are the captain of the Spade Pirates, how can you submit to the enemy! Let's clear up this misunderstanding after we break through and leave this place, and meet Shanks!"

have to say.

Ben Beckman's plan did not go wrong.

The only problem was Sasuke Uchiha's strength. Faced with the power of Susanoo and Sasuke Uchiha's unpredictable appearances, the other pirates couldn't get involved at all.

Sasuke Uchiha, the vice-captain of the Spade Pirates, and Ben Beckman, the vice-captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, fought fiercely for a day. Even though Sasuke held back quite a bit, Ben Beckman, the red-haired vice-captain, was still defeated and captured alive by Sasuke.

This is...

It was quite awkward.

"Feel sorry."

Looking at the prisoners captured by Sasuke Uchiha, Ace bowed earnestly to Ben Beckman and apologized: "I was just passing through the Red-Haired Pirates' territory and wanted to say hello to Shanks, because he saved my brother Luffy's life..."

"..."

Ben Beckman lay weakly on the ground.

Upon hearing Ace's words, Ben Beckman looked even weaker: "Huh? You're Luffy's older brother?"

"yes!"

Ace couldn't help but scratch the back of his head and whispered, "I even learned etiquette from Makino-neechan specifically for today..."

"..."

This person also mentioned Makino.

Whether it's Makino or Luffy, these were the most carefree and free times that the Red-Haired Pirates had ever experienced.

Ben Beckman was silent for a moment before speaking, "Then please take the Den Den Mushi out of my pocket first. I need to make a call to Shanks... so that that idiot Shanks won't worry."

"Okay, okay."

Ace rubbed his forehead and continued to apologize in a low voice, "I'm so sorry, my first mate thought you were here to wipe us out..."

"He's not wrong."

Beckman shook his head, watching Ace hand him the Den Den Mushi, and continued in a deep voice, "No matter what, these two incredibly promising rookies seem like they're here to challenge for the Yonko title. Can I have a cigarette?"

"Yes, yes."

Ace handed him a cigarette and even lit it for him.

As soon as the Den Den Mushi connected, Shanks' worried voice came through: "Hey, Beckman, are you alright?!"

"It's alright, it was a misunderstanding."

Ben Beckman took a drag of his cigarette, his expression somewhat complicated, and said, "Portgas D. Ace, the captain of the Spade Pirates, is Luffy's brother. He just happened to be passing by and wanted to say hello..."

"Is Luffy's brother really that strong?"

"His first mate is more powerful than yours."

"Don't say that!"

Shanks' voice suddenly crackled with laughter: "That's not bad! Hahaha... From now on, Lucky Roux and those guys won't just laugh at me, they'll laugh at both of us. You're the best first mate in the world!"

While they were inside the cabin, they were using Den Den Mushi.

Uchiha Sasuke was also contacting Uehara Naraku from outside. Because he was worried about being discovered, he used the communication ability of the Rinnegan.

"Uehara Naraku, there's been a small problem. Anyway, we should be meeting with Shanks soon."

"I really envy you!"

Uehara Naraku was on his way back to Alabasta, stopping by various tourist attractions along the way, when he overheard Sasuke's words and couldn't help but show a hint of envy: "He's constantly dealing with the Four Emperors, while I can only bully a few Shichibukai..."

After saying that, Uehara Naraku chuckled and said, "Then let's test this Yonko's attitude! Let's see if this guy knows Portgas D. Ace's identity, no, I should say Gol D. Ace..."

As Uehara Naraku finished speaking, he couldn't help but continue laughing, "By the way, how strong are those pirates in the latter part of the New World? Sasuke, do you think I have a chance to become the Pirate King?"

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, silently sending his message back using chakra: "I think you're more suited to be a mastermind. Let Ace, that idiot, handle things like becoming the Pirate King!"

"Ace could never become the Pirate King."

Uehara Naraku casually refuted Uchiha Sasuke: "Ace has lived his entire life in the shadow of his father being Gol D. Roger, unless one day Ace finds the meaning of his existence..."

After saying this, Uehara Naraku continued, "But that's no use, because he's a pawn whose fate I've already decided!"

To be honest, Uehara Naraku was genuinely worried.

Now that Portgas D. Ace has Sasuke Uchiha as his all-around vice-captain, is he really going to sit on the throne of the Pirate King without lifting a finger?

Therefore, before severing ties, Uehara Naraku emphasized to Uchiha Sasuke: "Sasuke, don't forget my original intention in sending you to join the Spade Pirates."

Uehara Naraku suddenly laughed, his laughter somewhat gentle: "Don't let Portgas D. Ace go astray on the path I've laid out for him. If he loses control, you should know what fate awaits him, right?"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke remained silent.

Is Uehara Naraku still incapable of being a decent human being?
