Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 433 The Second General Assembly of the Akatsuki Organization!

The first half of the Grand Line.

Admiral Aokiji received the mission while half-asleep.

Marshal Sengoku instructed him to cooperate at any time to protect Major General Drake during his first mission after the establishment of the SWORD secret special forces.

Once Major General Drake obtains intelligence about Baroque Works, Admiral Aokiji must immediately begin assisting in the suppression of Baroque Works.

This matter…

It sounded quite confusing to Aokiji.

Why send him to help destroy Baroque Works? Isn't that the organization where Uehara Naraku is currently hiding? What's the point of sending him to help?

Even if all three admirals of the navy were to go together, they might not have a chance!

"What's going on...?"

Aokiji slowly picked up his Den Den Mushi and dialed Major General Drake's number: "Hello, this is Kuzan. Tell me your current location. I need to know the specific details of your mission..."

Aokiji soon met Major General Drake and Major Kabuto Yakushi, the only two members of the SWORD Secret Special Forces. He also learned that the third member the unit would soon welcome was Uehara Naraku.

This secret unit is probably doomed.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku painstakingly prepared the SWORD secret special forces unit, mainly to have them infiltrate those great pirates to obtain intelligence. Now, this unit is about to be infiltrated by Uehara Naraku, the mastermind behind it all.

Major General Drake, unaware of Aokiji's thoughts, earnestly stated his plan: "We will find a way to contact Uehara Naraku again as soon as possible, and next time we can turn him to the side and get all the information about Baroque Works from him."

After saying this, Major General Drake's gaze slowly shifted to Aokiji: "Once we obtain intelligence on Baroque Works, we will use Uehara Naraku as an inside agent to swiftly launch an attack and wipe out the entire Baroque Works."

If we ignore the key character Uehara Naraku...

Actually, this plan sounds quite legitimate.

If Aokiji hadn't known Uehara Naraku's true identity, he probably would have thought Major General Drake's plan was quite plausible by now.

Unfortunately…

Their actions are now being led by the nose.

"Hmm... this plan..."

Admiral Aokiji scratched the back of his head, glanced at the only two members of the SWORD unit, and said in a deep voice, "Looks like there shouldn't be any problems..."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said in a low voice, "This is a plan that Major General Drake prepared under the guidance of Fleet Admiral Sengoku..."

"..."

After dozing off for a while with his eyes closed, Aokiji mumbled, "Never mind then. Here, take this if you need any help!"

After saying that, Aokiji threw a golden Den Den Mushi at Major General Drake.

Major General Drake felt the golden Den Den Mushi was burning hot: "Admiral Aokiji... this is... the golden Den Den Mushi used by the Admiral to activate the Buster Call?"

This is the golden Den Den Mushi from the Buster Call!

Once activated, it can mobilize ten warships, five vice admirals, and a large number of elite naval forces to launch indiscriminate and devastating strikes against the target area!

Within the entire navy, only the Fleet Admiral and the three Admirals have the authority to initiate a Buster Call, or to grant such authority to others!

"This is for your temporary use; consider it reinforcements!"

Aokiji scratched his head and said softly, "I'm going to find a place to rest. If anything goes wrong, I'll come to help."

"Yes."

Major General Drake nodded slowly.

With the Buster Call in hand, SWORD's secret special forces mission will surely succeed.

What Drake didn't expect was that after their small meeting ended, Aokiji went somewhere and started asking Nico Robin, the vice president of Baroque Works, about the matter. He was mainly worried about the threat posed by Uehara Naraku.

"Hey, Robin."

Aokiji dialed Nico Robin's Den Den Mushi and slowly said, "What's Uehara Naraku up to? Is that guy finally going to infiltrate the Marines?"

"Yes."

Nico Robin's voice was filled with bitterness and helplessness: "I really can't understand Uehara's thinking. Now that the big plan against Crocodile is about to begin, it seems he wants to push Crocodile into an even more dangerous position..."

"I am in Alabasta."

Aokiji looked up at the sun, then slowly closed his eyes: "Robin, in any case, let's leave Alabasta as soon as possible! This country is going to be very dangerous..."

"Aokiji".

Nico Robin interrupted Aokiji, whispering, "Uehara already knows you're in Alabasta, and he's planning to come see you..."

"...This is really troublesome..."

Aokiji muttered something and hung up the phone.

the other side.

Pharmacist Kabuto also made a phone call.

Kabuto's report was more detailed, including the arrival of Admiral Aokiji and the fact that he granted Drake the authority to issue the Buster Order with the Golden Den Den Mushi.

"Don't worry, that's our companion."

Uehara Naraku said casually, "We're on our way to your location now. See you later!"

After half an hour.

Major Kabuto Yakushi found Aokiji, who was pretending to be asleep.

The admiral was somewhat dissatisfied with Kabuto Yakushi, because Kabuto seemed to be overly enthusiastic towards him, which made Aokiji feel quite uncomfortable.

This major…

Could it be that he thinks he can get promoted by currying favor with a high-ranking general?

Moreover, Uehara Naraku will be here soon, and to avoid leaks, that dangerous man would definitely not mind killing an ordinary naval lieutenant commander.

"Major Dou."

Admiral Aokiji slowly put on his blindfold and said in a deep voice, "Well, if you have something to do, you can leave first. I want to take a nap here for a while."

"It's okay."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses, a gentle smile appearing on his face: "It's good that I'm here."

At this point, Kabuto's smile deepened: "I happen to be waiting here for an lord, so that the lord who is to see me won't have to make an extra trip."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Aokiji slowly removed his blindfold and looked at Kabuto beside him: "Who are you waiting for?"

"The person you are waiting for is the person I am waiting for."

Kabuto Yakushi extended his hand to Aokiji in a friendly manner, smiling with narrowed eyes: "Let me introduce myself, I am Kabuto Yakushi of Akatsuki, and also the most loyal subordinate to Lord Naraku in the entire Akatsuki."

Looking at Aokiji's expression, Kabuto's smile became even brighter.

At this moment, Kabuto Yakushi finally experienced the joy of Uehara Nai controlling the world after her downfall, until the very last moment when everything was exposed.

To be honest, it really feels good.

"..."

Aokiji's gaze subtly sharpened.

Can anyone tell him why there are Akatsuki members everywhere he goes?

No, the Akatsuki members have actually infiltrated the Navy, and even the extremely important secret special forces unit SWORD!

The next moment, this general, who had just begun to show his prowess, slowly concealed his true thoughts and asked somewhat listlessly, "So, does that mean the secret force that Marshal Sengoku was just forming has been completely infiltrated by you?"

"No."

Kabuto shook his head, a slight smile playing on his lips, and replied, "Isn't Major General Drake still in the SWORD Secret Special Forces?"

Kabuto chuckled and continued, "We won't recruit Major General Drake into our organization either, because he doesn't have any special abilities, and without him, who would we blame if information was leaked or other problems arose in the future?"

"Hmm...you guys are really farsighted!"

Aokiji couldn't help but rub his forehead. This feeling was indescribable. Now, perhaps all he could do was mourn for Major General Drake.

What a pitiful fellow!

The first subordinate was an undercover agent sent by Uehara Naraku…

The second subordinate he wanted to recruit was Uehara Naraku himself…

In particular, this subordinate is notoriously petty; if you offend him carelessly, you might very well start questioning your life in the future.

I wonder how Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Rear Admiral Drake felt when they learned that this secret special forces unit, which planned to infiltrate the pirates, had been completely infiltrated by spies...

These Akatsuki guys...

They really are everywhere!

Are you unhappy?

Kabuto's smile grew brighter and brighter: "No matter how you look at it, we should be on the same side, right? Please take care of me from now on."

"Hmm..."

Aokiji couldn't help but rub his forehead and whisper, "Your behavior really does resemble that Uehara Naraku guy!"

At least the way this mastermind acted really was convincing!

What's wrong with these Akatsuki members?!

"I'm glad you think that way about me."

Looking at Aokiji's complex expression, Kabuto's lips slowly curled into a smile: "It's already quite impressive to bear some resemblance to a great god."

"You two seem to be having a good chat..."

Just then, Uehara Naraku appeared in front of them.

Uehara tilted his head, looking at them, and said, "Looks like I don't need to introduce ourselves! Admiral Aokiji, Kabuto, let's go to the Akatsuki meeting! The others should be arriving soon!"

"Yes, Lord Naraku."

Yakushi Kabuto nodded respectfully.

Seeing Kabuto's performance, Aokiji had mixed feelings.

Just an hour ago, the two of them were having a small naval operations meeting together…

On the way to the meeting place, Aokiji casually asked, "Uehara Naraku, did Crocodile really get the Ancient Weapon Pluton?"

"I made that up."

Uehara Naraku shook his head, rubbing his temples, and said, "I'm also struggling with this problem... Should I make one for him on the spot?"

"..."

Aokiji glanced at Uehara with a subtle expression.

To so casually claim it's all made up... How can this guy just admit it like that!

Soon, they arrived at Xiao's meeting place.

This is a warehouse located in the port city of Alabasta. It has been closed for a long time. It was originally Baroque Works' territory and was used to store gunpowder. It has been temporarily requisitioned by the Akatsuki members within Baroque Works.

In any case, apart from Crocodile, the president of Baroque Works, the vice president and the three remaining senior agents are all members of Akatsuki.

As Aokiji followed them inside, he realized that he seemed to know everyone there, including one he was on good terms with.

Or rather, that person had a good relationship with all the navy personnel.

"Is Kakuzu... also a member of Akatsuki?"

Aokiji's gaze shifted slightly, settling on Kakuzu, the most renowned bounty hunter on the vast ocean, who was having a lively conversation with Nico Robin.

When Nico Robin saw Aokiji arrive, she couldn't help but smile. She had finally found an excuse to get rid of Kakuzu and went to greet Aokiji.

Nico Robin walked up to Aokiji, looked up at the tall Marine Admiral, and made no attempt to hide her joy.

"Aokiji!"

"Um, Robin..."

Aokiji placed his hand on Nico Robin's head, ruffled her hair, and sighed, "Your bounty is getting higher and higher..."

Nico Robin, the Devil's Child, has a bounty of 290 million Berries.

Kisame Hoshigaki, the Shark Man, has a bounty of 230 million Berries.

Deidara, the explosives artist, has a bounty of 75 million Berries.

Naraku Uehara, a mid-level agent of Baroque Works, has a bounty of 6 million Berries.

Scorpion, the puppeteer, has a bounty of 15 million Berries.

Of all the members of the Akatsuki, it seems that Nico Robin has the highest bounty!

No, there's someone with a higher bounty than Robin!

The next moment, a phantom figure appeared in front of everyone; it was Uchiha Sasuke, who appeared using the Illusionary Body Technique!

After defeating Ben Beckman, Sasuke Uchiha's bounty reached 12 billion Berries, which is higher than the combined bounties of everyone present!

"Why do you want me to attend this meeting?"

Sasuke Uchiha said with some dissatisfaction, "The Spade Pirates are about to enter Whitebeard's territory! I don't have much time..."

"Because this is our big plan."

Uehara Naraku calmly sat down in his seat, glanced at Uchiha Sasuke who looked displeased, and smiled slightly, saying, "Sasuke, do you have any complaints about my summons?"

"No…"

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth.

Just then, another illusory figure appeared before them, his figure unusually tall: "Fufufufufu... Sorry, I've only just mastered this technique. I'm not too late, am I?"

Doflamingo does not have chakra.

After Uehara Naraku taught Doflamingo the theory of the ring, this guy came up with a unique idea and directly wrapped his own ring with Armament Haki.

Anyway, Doflamingo remembered one thing: it was enough to pass his signal to Uehara Naraku, who had the Rinnegan!

"Doflamingo..."

Aokiji's eyes slowly lowered.

What the hell? This Shichibukai is also a member of Akatsuki?

Doflamingo seemed even more shocked than Aokiji.

Doflamingo spotted the equally tall Aokiji at a glance and chuckled, "Fufufufufu... I never expected Admiral Aokiji to be my colleague!"

Damn, this is a huge profit!

What kind of amazing organization is Akatsuki?!
