Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 431 The Navy is the Most Suitable Destination for Uehara Naraku (Third Update! 4000 words! Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

Shanks remained silent.

Shanks has experienced a lot of discrimination in his life, but this is the first time he has been discriminated against because he has red hair.

What does Uchiha Sasuke mean?

What's wrong with these red-haired people? Why are they humiliating them like this?!

"Redhead, don't try to stop Ace."

Sasuke Uchiha stared at Shanks and continued in a deep voice, "Ace carried a more difficult destiny than others. His desire to challenge Whitebeard was a declaration of war against his irresponsible father."

Ace wanted to prove that he had never succumbed to fate, that he had a reason to exist in this world, and that no one had the right to stop him.

To be honest, Portgas D. Ace's fate was already quite tragic, but now he's being targeted by that insidious guy Uehara Naraku. This is truly a human tragedy...

Furthermore, Sasuke Uchiha was also tasked with fulfilling Naraku's orders to use this opportunity to reveal Ace's true identity to Shanks, hoping to get Shanks involved...

Shanks fell for it.

Shanks's mind was still quite clear. After hearing Sasuke's words, he suddenly realized something and said, "Could it be... that little Ace is Whitebeard's son?"

"No."

After frowning and thinking for a while, Sasuke Uchiha calmly said, "Anyway, it doesn't matter if I tell you people, he is going to declare war on Gol D. Roger in the underworld!"

Ace had the blood of Roger, the Pirate King, flowing in his veins, even though that guy never took responsibility for a single day and even caused Ace's mother's death, casting a shadow over his life!

Sasuke Uchiha, watching Shanks's increasingly shocked expression, coldly continued, "Those of you who once saw Gol D. Roger, take a good look and witness the arrival of a new era! Ace will surpass Roger and be crowned the new king!"

Uchiha Sasuke spoke arrogantly on behalf of his captain.

If it weren't for Uehara Naraku's manipulation, Portgas D. Ace might actually have become the new Pirate King with his support.

After speaking, Sasuke Uchiha looked at Shanks, whose face was still filled with shock, and said in a deep voice, "The Rayleigh you mentioned, is it Silvers Rayleigh who lives in seclusion in Sabaody Archipelago? I saw him in Sabaody Archipelago, hmph, his strength doesn't seem that great..."

"..."

Shanks, his surprise still lingering, exclaimed, "That little Ace...is Captain Roger's son?! The timeline...it just doesn't make sense!"

"Your reaction time is really long..."

Sasuke Uchiha's forehead twitched involuntarily. He said coldly, "Fine, Shanks, just you wait and see. This sea is never calm!"

Wherever Uehara Naru is, there will never be peace!

Shanks watched as Sasuke Uchiha turned to leave, and hurriedly reached out to stop him: "Hey, Sasuke Uchiha, wait, Ace really is the captain..."

Clang!

A sword was drawn and held horizontally in front of Shanks!

"Don't say these things in front of Ace!"

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes flashed with the red light of his Sharingan.

They couldn't continue talking, or they might give themselves away. Ace only told Sasuke that he was Gol D. Roger's son.

The next moment, Sasuke Uchiha turned and left, his voice echoing across the island: "Spade Pirates, return to our ship immediately and set sail!"

"Hello!"

Shanks still wanted to catch up.

A sharp slash blocked his path!

Ben Beckman leaped in front of Shanks, deflecting the slash with his sword: "Hey, what's going on, Shanks? Did your negotiations break down? Should we gather our forces and fight immediately?"

"It's okay, it's okay..."

Shanks hastily waved to the rest of the Red-Haired Pirates to calm them down, his expression subtly complex: "This seems more troublesome than a breakdown in negotiations!"

The shore of the small island.

The Red-Haired Pirates watched the Spade Pirates' ship depart, and then looked at Uchiha Sasuke standing on the bow of the ship. Each of them involuntarily rubbed their heads.

"Hey Shanks, what's going on?"

"Boss, weren't we supposed to hold another banquet tomorrow to send them off?"

"What on earth is going on?!"

"Don't ask anymore."

Shanks clutched his forehead and said in a deep voice, "In any case, everyone should prepare themselves! The seas will never be calm again!"

After saying that, Shanks couldn't help but look at the figure standing on the departing pirate ship, muttering to himself, "It seems... he's really about to appear... someone more likely to become the Pirate King than that brat Luffy!"

Although the conflict between the Spade Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates was not intense, there is no doubt that the two sides were evenly matched, a fact that was also discovered by the Navy.

The captain and first mate of the Spade Pirates both had bounties exceeding one billion Berries, which became big news in the world.

Whitebeard Sea.

The Moby Dick, my ride.

This is the flagship of the world's strongest man, Whitebeard, whose name is known to everyone on the high seas.

Even in the most remote corners of the world, people have heard of his name.

Almost everyone knows that Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man who sits in a corner of the New World, is the strongest man in the world.

Although Whitebeard is getting older, his reputation for suppressing the sea for decades still keeps others from making a move, and he still firmly holds the title of the world's strongest man.

At this moment, Whitebeard sat in his captain's seat, holding a newspaper in his hand, which contained the results of the battle between the Spade Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates.

"Um?"

The white-bearded man's eyes narrowed slightly as he slowly spoke, "Did that red-haired brat negotiate with the newcomer on the high seas? He's definitely picked up Roger's bad habits..."

On this vast ocean, there aren't many people who can criticize the Pirate King Gol D. Roger without restraint, but Whitebeard is definitely the most qualified one.

"Um."

Marco, standing next to the white-bearded man, nodded with his deadpan eyes and said softly, "Dad, they're heading towards our territory now..."

"Yeah?"

The white-bearded man's lips curled into a grin, his massive beard trembling slightly. He laughed heartily, "Gurarararar... Let's go meet him! This kind of super rookie has never appeared on the high seas before!"

Even during the era when he was competing with Gol D. Roger, there had never been such powerful newcomers as Portgas D. Ace and Sasuke Uchiha, who are only seventeen years old this year!

Marco raised an eyebrow and said, "Dad, I'll go and meet them first..."

"no need."

The white-bearded man shook his head.

To be honest, Whitebeard was more worried about his son.

After all, Sasuke Uchiha, the vice-captain of the Spade Pirates, is someone who could even defeat Ben Beckman, the red-haired vice-captain!

In the entire Whitebeard Pirates, apart from Marco, no matter how you look at it, there isn't a second person who can compare to Ben Beckman!

If Marco goes...

The possibility of them never returning is extremely high.

Therefore, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard decided to personally meet Ace and Sasuke Uchiha to see just how powerful these two kids really were.

"What two good kids..."

The white-bearded man glanced at the newspaper in his hand again, a smirk creeping onto his face. "Gurrralala... These two little rascals are much more energetic than that brat I ran into last time, the one called Crocodile!"

"Last time..."

Marco couldn't help but roll his eyelids: "It's been over ten years since we last encountered Crocodile, hasn't it?"

After pondering for a moment, Marco slowly said, "After Crocodile became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he never dared to come to the New World again. I heard he's living a very comfortable life in Alabasta..."

That's not wrong.

Crocodile was indeed living a very comfortable life.

It was even more comfortable than Marco had imagined.

Crocodile was now completely submerged in water, unable to move, glaring angrily at Kisame Hoshigaki sitting in his seat.

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned and said slowly, "Is this all the Seven Warlords of the Sea are capable of? It seems I chose the wrong ally!"

"What exactly is your purpose?"

Crocodile glared angrily at Kisame Hoshigaki.

Crocodile originally only wanted to discuss with Kisame Hoshigaki how to replace Jinbe as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but Kisame Hoshigaki beat him up under the pretext of testing the strength of his ally.

Facing an enemy like Kisame Hoshigaki, who is skilled in Water Release and Haki, Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit ability was perfectly countered, leaving the sand crocodile completely powerless!

"Tsk..."

Kisame Hoshigaki forced a friendly smile, but his expression remained menacing: "How boring. I was just looking for an ally, but it seems Mr. Crocodile isn't qualified to be one!"

Kisame Hoshigaki slowly stood up and chuckled, "Starting today, I announce my withdrawal from Baroque Works. You can figure out how to clarify this, right?"

After saying that, Kisame Hoshigaki continued, "Oh, by the way, the things I've done might hinder my chances of becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea... I'll leave those matters to the boss of Baroque Works, is that alright?"

"Hmph, I agree."

Crocodile gritted his teeth and said, "I'll have Nico Robin publish a statement in the newspapers announcing your defection from Baroque Works!"

"Hehe, then I hope we'll meet again someday."

Kisame Hoshigaki grabbed his Samehada sword, slung it over his back, and left the rainy place without a trace of regret.

Kisame Hoshigaki's original role at Baroque Works was to help Naraku Uehara take the blame for Crocodile. Now that Naraku Uehara is about to become a Marine spy, there is no longer any need for Kisame Hoshigaki to stay there.

After Kisame Hoshigaki left.

Crocodile looked at Nico Robin, who was hiding nearby, and said with a grim expression, "Nicole Robin, you wouldn't betray me too, would you?"

"No."

Nico Robin shook her head, chuckled, and said, "I'm only interested in the Poneglyphs. Who can let me see the truth of history...?"

"Then hurry up!"

Crocodile struggled violently out of the water, gritting his teeth as he said, "I can't wait any longer! I have to start the plan as soon as possible! I need to find out about Hades as quickly as possible, and then kill all these guys!"

"Can."

Nico Robin nodded, then continued, "However, our top agents have recently been relentlessly pursued by a bounty hunter named Kakuzu..."

On our way to Rain Land, Mr. 1 and Mr. 3 squads went missing, Mr. 2 was captured by the Navy, and then there were Mr. 5 and Mr. 4 squads that were killed earlier…”

"Then find another batch!"

After Crocodile finished speaking, he changed his mind: "Wait, how many people are left in Baroque Works?"

"Sasori, Deidara..."

After counting the heads, Nicole Robin paused for a second before continuing, "There are only two senior agents left, but quite a few mid-level agents."

At this point, Nico Robin quickly added, "One of them, named Uehara Naraku, followed me all the way, and I found him to be a fairly loyal person."

"Well, his strength might not be enough, but his bounty has increased to 6 million Berries due to the recent activities of the Workshop, so we can consider promoting him to senior agent..."

"Can!"

Crocodile, his face grim, ordered, "To prevent bastards like Kisame Hoshigaki from infiltrating again, there's no need to recruit any more people for now. Maintain the status quo!"

"..."

Nicole Robin nodded.

If Crocodile were to refuse Uehara Naraku's promotion to Senior Agent again, Nico Robin would wonder if Crocodile thought his people were living too comfortably...

Fortunately, he can still be saved.

I wonder if Uehara Naraku will be happy to hear this news.

Uehara Naraku had no time to pay attention to Nico Robin. He hurriedly checked off a bunch of tourist attractions and returned to deal with the meeting with Rear Admiral Drake.

When Rear Admiral Drake met Uehara Naraku, he happened to see Uehara Naraku rescuing a child being chased by pirates, a scene that seemed somewhat familiar to him.

Drake was rescued by the Navy when he was being hunted down by the Don Quixote family, which led to his current position as Rear Admiral Drake.

Major General Drake felt a deep empathy as he watched this scene.

Major General Drake watched silently as Uehara Naraku used a piece of candy to soothe the child's emotions, his sharp gaze gradually softening.

As a user of the Ancient Zoan-type Allosaurus Fruit, Major General Drake, who is usually quite fierce on the battlefield, showed a rare moment of tenderness in his heart.

"pocket."

Rear Admiral Drake's gaze remained fixed on Uehara Naraku: "Do you see? The Navy is the most suitable place for Uehara Naraku..."

"yes…"

Navy Lieutenant Commander Kabuto adjusted his glasses and smirked, "I share your opinion; I think so too."

Third update!

I'll shamelessly ask for some votes!

I apologize for the update, everyone. I will resume as soon as possible...
