Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 439 The Whitebeard Pirates and the Spade Pirates, War Begins!

Alabasta, the land of rain.

The navy is searching the entire Rainfield, making mass arrests of any remaining members of the Baroque Works, no matter how small their rank.

Rear Admiral Drake hung up the phone, looked at the admiral standing beside him, and reported softly, "Admiral Aokiji, we haven't lost track of Nico Robin, the Devil's Child. Lieutenant Commander Uehara has already infiltrated her inner circle."

After saying that, Major Drake continued, "According to information provided by Major Uehara, Crocodile, who escaped, will also be traveling with Nico Robin to the New World in the second half of the Grand Line."

"Okay, I got it. Give me back the Den Den Mushi from the Buster Call!"

Aokiji took the golden Den Den Mushi from Drake, hopped on his bicycle, and casually waved, saying, "Then you can handle the rest!"

The battle to defeat Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the siege of Baroque Works felt somewhat anticlimactic, at least for now.

Crocodile finally arrived at the port.

When he was at his lowest point, Nicole Robin offered a helping hand and took him to a ship filled with orange trees, which immediately set sail and left Alabasta.

The three of them stood together at the bow of the ship, watching them gradually move away from the desert kingdom, and also watching Kisame Hoshigaki and the others standing on the port.

Crocodile clenched his fists, his face grim, and muttered, "Nicole Robin, you've certainly found a good bunch of helpers. You've recruited four people, three of whom are traitors!"

"Who knew these people were hiding so well..."

Nico Robin smiled slightly and said softly, "This time we were probably outmaneuvered by Kisame Hoshigaki, but we can't just let it go like this!"

This country has its own historical records. Let's come back when the navy stops paying attention to us... that's when we'll be back!

"Um."

Crocodile slowly nodded, his gaze falling on Nico Robin and Naraku Uehara: "Let's go, set sail for the New World! Let me see those monsters of the New World again!"

"Yes, Captain."

Nicole Robin smiled and nodded, then continued, "So, do we need to recruit some crew members?"

The title "captain" made Crocodile pause, as he seemed to have never heard of it before, since he had always been the one sailing.

This title seems to carry a sense of responsibility.

Crocodile's expression softened considerably, and he looked at Uehara Naraku and asked, "Hey, Uehara Naraku, what are you good at?"

"I know he's a qualified ship's doctor!"

Nico Robin smiled and answered on behalf of Uehara Naraku: "Mr. Uehara's family bloodline contains a certain magical ability that can quickly heal the wounds of the injured."

"..."

Uehara Naraku seemed a little shy and reluctant to admit it, but he still stepped forward to help Crocodile and healed his wounds with Star Infusion.

At that moment, Crocodile felt his energy surge back, and he suddenly felt an urge to return to Alabasta and fight a few more rounds!

"What kind of ability is this?"

"Uh, it's a kind of exchange, isn't it?"

Uehara Naraku rubbed his hands and said weakly, "It takes my own stamina to heal you. After using it once, I'll be weak and powerless for the whole day. Last time in the East Blue, when I was treating a villager's injuries, Miss Robin discovered this secret..."

"Can."

Crocodile nodded slowly and said softly, "Don't waste this ability on the weak in the future."

This ship's doctor seems somewhat reliable.

This ship's doctor is someone we absolutely need to protect. With this ship's doctor, he can return to the battlefield after being seriously injured.

Crocodile's gaze slowly shifted, finally settling on Nico Robin: "Nicole Robin, you can't just read the Poneglyphs, can you?"

"I can help grind the coffee..."

Nicole Robin has a very warm smile.

"How useless..."

Crocodile casually puffed on a cigar and said coldly, "Fine, I can do everything else myself anyway. Let's just go straight to Sabaody! After the coating there, we'll enter the New World!"

Crocodile himself was a polymath.

Crocodile seems to be able to do everything, from sailing and cooking to fighting and even shipbuilding, which explains why he has never wanted any partners.

He could do everything by himself, so why should he support other people for nothing?

Unless they are indispensable talents.

For example, Nico Robin and Naraku Uehara now.

Nico Robin is the only person on the high seas who can read the Poneglyphs, and Uehara Naraku possesses excellent healing abilities.

Just as their ship was heading towards the Sabaody Archipelago, the entire sea was undergoing a dramatic change due to the changes in the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and new bounties were issued.

Crocodile, formerly one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, has a bounty of 830 million Berries.

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

Baroque high-ranking agent, Uehara Naraku, has a bounty of 85 million Berries.

Deidara, a former high-ranking Baroque agent and explosives artist, has a bounty of 110 million Berries.

Former Baroque high-ranking agent, puppeteer, Scorpion, with a bounty of 8 million Berries.

In addition, Kisame Hoshigaki's bounty was abolished.

The World Government announced the abolition of Crocodile and Jinbe's positions as Shichibukai and directly announced the new Shichibukai candidates.

Kakuzu and Kisame Hoshigaki succeeded each other as the new Shichibukai.

Kakuzu is a very famous person. He is the most famous bounty hunter on the sea, and many pirates are afraid of him.

Kisame Hoshigaki is also a great pirate who suddenly rose to become a supernova this year.

If it weren't for the extremely high bounties on Portgas D. Ace and Sasuke Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki would have been the strongest Supernova this year.

With the support of the World Government's navy, Kisame Hoshigaki swiftly eliminated the remnants of the Sun Pirates and announced the takeover of the entire Fish-Man Island.

Because Fishman Island is Whitebeard's territory.

This incident was also seen as a provocation by the World Government against Whitebeard.

Just as everyone was waiting for the Whitebeard Pirates' response, news came from the Whitebeard Sea that shook the entire world once again.

The Whitebeard Pirates and the Spade Pirates have started a war!

On a small island in the Whitebeard Sea, in the latter half of the Grand Line.

While the Spade Pirates were resting on the shore, a huge ship came to rest on the island, and a tall figure appeared on the bow of the ship, holding a large sword.

In an instant, a powerful wave of air swept across the entire island!

Conqueror's Haki!

The sheer power of this Conqueror's Haki left no room for resistance. Apart from Sasuke Uchiha and Ace, all the other crew members were knocked unconscious by the impact of this Haki!

Even Ace was teetering on the brink of collapse!

"It's... Old Man Whitebeard!"

Jinbe, a prisoner of the Spade Pirates, bound hand and foot, looked worried: "Why did you come at this time, Daddy?!"

"Is this the Whitebeard?"

Uchiha Sasuke slowly finished the skewers in his hand, then took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and slowly picked up the knife beside him.

Sasuke Uchiha straightened Ace's body and said casually, "Ace, wait here for me for a moment, I'll be right back..."

"etc…"

Ace gripped Sasuke's arm, stopping him. A stubborn look appeared on the man's face as he said in a deep voice, "Sasuke, this is my battle. That guy is someone I must challenge no matter what!"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke fell silent.

After a long silence, Sasuke sat down again and calmly said, "I understand. Go then! Whether you win or lose, you will always be my captain."

"rest assured!"

A smile appeared on Ace's face: "Even for the sake of the world's best first mate, I won't lose to that guy!"

After saying that, Ace resolutely headed towards the shore.

Edward Newgate, the white-bearded sailor, stood on the bow of the Moby Dick, gripping his large sword and grinning, "Gurarararar... Let's see who's trying to take my head!"

"Portgas D. Ace!"

A flame, accompanied by Ace's voice, swept towards the Moby Dick!

Marco, standing next to Whitebeard, rolled his dead-fish eyes and, looking at the ball of flame, couldn't help but say, "With this little power, you think you can challenge Old Man?"

The next moment, a pair of light blue wings suddenly spread out from Marco's body, ready to block the incoming flames!

This is the power of the Mythical Zoan-type Phoenix Fruit. Marco's Devil Fruit is a type of Devil Fruit that is even rarer than Logia-type Devil Fruits!

Unexpectedly, the next moment, a slash sent Marco flying!

Sasuke Uchiha slowly sheathed his ninja sword, his voice echoing across the entire coastline: "Hey, even I didn't interfere with Ace's battle, so what right do you have?"

"Gurala la la la..."

The white-bearded man's smile deepened, his domineering aura extinguishing the approaching flames as he shouted, "Then satisfy them! No one should interfere. This is a battle between captains!"

"...Dad!"

Fencing expert Bitta hurriedly tried to stop him.

However, Whitebeard shook his head, gripped his greatsword, and leaped onto the shore. Looking at Ace before him, he smiled and said, "Kid, you've really found a decent first mate!"

"yes!"

Ace wiped the sweat from his face and said in a deep voice, "Even for Sasuke's sake, I will never lose to you!"

"Gurarararar... Well then, let me see what you're capable of!"

Whitebeard grinned and walked step by step toward Ace, knocking the Spade Pirates captain to the ground with a single punch!

Really...

The food was surprisingly delicious.

Even though Ace stood up again with determination, he was still easily knocked to the ground by Whitebeard, as if an adult were beating a child.

The disparity in skill level in this battle is simply too great.

When the battle between the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Spade Pirates began, some of the Whitebeard Pirates' crew members quietly landed on the shore and surrounded Uchiha Sasuke.

These people wanted to save Jinbe.

Vista, wielding his two swords, looked at Sasuke Uchiha and said, "Kid, you're wielding the Supreme Grade Sword Kusanagi, aren't you? Then let's have a duel between swordsmen!"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke remained silent for a second.

The next second, a cold smile appeared on Uchiha Sasuke's lips. He glanced at Ace being beaten by Whitebeard in the distance, and then looked at Vista with Flower Sword in front of him!

"OK."

Uchiha Sasuke's smile suddenly turned sinister, and a surging aura emanated from his body as purple Susanoo enveloped him!

A fully formed purple Susanoo, hundreds of meters tall, proudly appeared!

Uchiha Sasuke manipulated Susanoo and suddenly drew his giant ninja sword, unleashing a slash that sent Vista and everyone around him flying!

Second update, more

I have some good news to share: my life will be back on track tomorrow. These past ten days have been really tough...
