Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 512 I am Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will definitely become the Pirate King!

Three years have passed.

Uehara Naraku remembered that he was still a Marine.

However, the Navy's high command highly valued Uehara Naraku, the colonel who was an undercover agent in Wano Country, because Uehara Naraku was often able to bring information about Akatsuki and the Beast Pirates.

This is really...

Even CP0 has a hard time doing this!

Because the Akatsuki organization completely sealed off Wano Country, no one except the original members who lived there could enter.

To be honest, it won't be easy for Uehara Naraku to come back and continue being a Marine, because his value in Wano Country is irreplaceable.

If Uehara Naraku wants to return, he will naturally need Yakushi Kabuto's help to make arrangements. This problem is not difficult to solve. Uehara Naraku only needs to use the excuse that someone doubts his identity to escape back to Marineford.

To ensure everything goes perfectly...

Kabuto even suggested that a high-ranking officer from the headquarters personally go to pick up Naraku Uehara.

This matter really made the three admirals of the Navy Headquarters scratch their heads. Couldn't that leader just stay in Wano Country?

If we say that Uehara Naraku doesn't cause trouble...

This is obviously absolutely impossible.

Given Kabuto's attitude, Uehara Naraku's matter could not be delayed. Only Kizaru, who was the fastest, could set off and find a way to bring Uehara Naraku out of Wano Country.

This world is truly magical.

A Marine Admiral is actually going to welcome a world-shaking figure back to Marineford for a re-evaluation. Who knows what trouble Uehara Naraku is planning after all this time of silence...

Borsalino.

In the Fleet Admiral's office, Fleet Admiral Sengoku solemnly instructed Kizaru: "You must bring Captain Uehara Naraku back to Marineford. He possesses a great deal of detailed information about Wano Country, which will be of great help to us in understanding those enemies."

"There shouldn't be any unexpected problems..."

Kizaru grinned strangely. "Even if something happens to me, Colonel Uehara Naraku will definitely be fine..."

To be honest.

The likelihood of an accident involving him, a naval admiral, is higher.

"Admiral Kizaru should not be too worried about the dangers of this operation."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and looked meaningfully at Kizaru, saying, "If anything goes wrong, you can choose to abandon Colonel Naraku. After all, the Navy's highest combat power cannot be lost, and Admiral Kizaru must make the right choice."

"..."

Kizaru nodded slowly.

The threat in that statement couldn't be stronger.

Kabuto's words seemed to genuinely mean that Kizaru should prioritize his own safety, which sounded like a reasonable statement.

But if you understood them, Kabuto Yakushi's true meaning was either that he, as a Marine Admiral, return with Uehara Naraku, or that he himself would never return...

Because everyone in the Hundred Beasts Sea is one of our own.

Kizaru's journey went very smoothly.

When Kizaru arrived at the outer sea of ​​Wano Country, Uehara Naraku had already left Wano Country and was waiting for this commander to greet him.

At this moment.

The Akatsuki leader frowned as he used his Den Den Mushi to contact his subordinates: "Hey, Mihawk, are you in the East Blue?"

"…Um."

Suddenly, a clanging sound of metal striking metal came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi. Jorah Mihawk was still fighting his opponent while holding the Den Den Mushi.

A brief second later.

The sound of metal clashing stopped.

Through the Den Den Mushi, Jorah Mihawk slowly replied, "I just met a rather interesting young fellow at the Baratie sea restaurant in the East Blue. I initially thought he was rather naive, but it turns out he has the heart of a swordsman..."

After Mihawk finished speaking slowly, he said in a low voice, "Now that everything is over... is there anything I can do for you?"

"It's nothing, I was just asking."

Uehara Naraku couldn't help but feel a little curious. He stroked his chin, pondering as he asked, "Look at that interesting little guy, doesn't he have a green haircut and use a three-sword style?"

"…yes."

Mihawk's voice was somewhat hesitant.

East China Sea, near the floating restaurant Balati.

Mihawk had just defeated a three-sword style swordsman with a green haircut. He slowly tightened his grip on the Den Den Mushi, and his voice gradually became more serious as he spoke to it.

"I really didn't expect this..."

A bead of sweat trickled down Mihawk's forehead: "Even if you were thousands of miles away, could you possibly know what's happening here?"

"take it easy."

Naraku Uehara calmed Mihawk down through the Den Den Mushi before continuing with a light laugh, "Alright, I have nothing else to say. Let me tell you, this little guy actually has a lot of potential to become a navigator."

After saying that, the Den Den Mushi was hung up.

Mihawk remained silent for a while before putting away his Den Den Mushi and looking at the green-haired swordsman in front of him, a hint of apology flashing across his face.

"I'm sorry, Roronoa Zoro. I originally admired your willingness to die for the sake of becoming the world's strongest swordsman, and I should have respected our battle. However, I cannot refuse the person who is calling me."

"It's okay."

The green-haired swordsman grinned, a wry smile on his face, and shook his head, continuing, "It seems I've lost more than I expected. Even when you were distracted in battle, you could easily defeat me. Is this the strongest power in the world?"

The green-haired swordsman sheathed his weapon, turned around, and stretched out his arm towards Hawkeye, adopting a posture of seeking death.

"What do you mean by that?"

Mihawk stared intently at the swordsman before him, recalling how he had faced death with the same heroic demeanor when he was defeated by Uehara Naraku!

"Kill me!"

A serious glint flashed in Zoro's eyes, and a smile gradually appeared on his face: "Kill me like this! If a swordsman dies with a wound in his back, it is a disgrace to him!"

"amazing…"

Jorah Mihawk nodded slowly.

The next moment, Mihawk swung his black sword and slashed another huge wound into Zoro's chest, blood gushing out instantly!

This young swordsman…

He fell headfirst into the sea!

"Zoro!"

A heart-wrenching, furious cry echoed throughout the area!

A little guy wearing a straw hat suddenly jumped towards Hawkeye Mihawk, about to punch him.

"He's not dead yet."

Mihawk easily dodged the attack.

Mihawk held back when he swung his sword, so Roronoa Zoro's injury was not fatal, and he was quickly pulled from the sea.

"alright."

Dracule Mihawk's gaze fell upon Roronoa Zoro, his voice gradually rising in intensity: "If you want to die now, it's too early for you. You haven't even seen the strongest swordsman in this world yet!"

Just when everyone thought that Hawkeye Mihawk, the world's strongest swordsman, was going to inspire this junior, Hawkeye Mihawk's expression suddenly changed!

The world's strongest swordsman sheathed his black sword and proclaimed, "Slowly learn to understand yourself, understand the world, and learn to become stronger!"

When you truly become powerful and witness the strongest power in the world, the true despair of helplessness will descend upon you. Keep moving forward, Roronoa Zoro!

The pain you're experiencing now is only the beginning; unimaginable despair lies ahead!

"..."

The expressions on everyone's faces were subtly ambiguous.

Why does this taste a little strange?

Is this Hawkeye Mihawk truly inspiring Zoro, his junior, rather than persuading him to give up the path of a swordsman?

What does it mean when the suffering has only just begun...?

What does it mean that there is true despair behind it all?

Anyone who hears these words would feel like giving up, right?

Roronoa Zoro suddenly coughed up some water, but he forced himself to shout, "Hey, no matter how much pain lies ahead, I will never give up! The world's strongest swordsman, I will never give up, not even until death!"

"..."

A look of appreciation immediately appeared on Mihawk's face. He slowly nodded and said loudly, "Then, remember what you said today!"

Such a promising swordsman...

Becoming a navigator would be such a waste, wouldn't it?

After Mihawk finished speaking, he slowly turned to look at the little guy wearing a straw hat beside him. His hawk-like eyes gradually sharpened again. Just as he was about to say something, the Den Den Mushi rang rapidly.

Bubbling...

Bubbling bubbling bubbling…

A slight frown appeared on Mihawk's face, but he suppressed his impatience, answered the Den Den Mushi in his hand, and calmly said, "Is there anything else? I might have an even more interesting young man on my end..."

One thing that made Shanks give up his arm...

Pirates who have staked the future of this world!

"Hmm, there really is..."

Uehara Naraku's voice through the Den Den Mushi was somewhat erratic. He slowly began, "Is that young man you're talking about wearing a straw hat?"

"…yes."

Mihawk nodded calmly.

At this moment, he was no longer surprised by Uehara Naraku's omniscience.

Naraku Uehara chuckled softly through the Den Den Mushi and continued, "If he still wants to become the Pirate King, then help him kick his 'King' addiction!"

"What do you mean?"

Mihawk's gaze was somewhat puzzled.

The next second, Uehara Naraku's nasty voice reached Mihawk's ears through the Den Den Mushi: "Give him a beating first, and while you're at it, tell him that a Marine Captain named Uehara Naraku is on his way to the East Blue, ordered to wipe out all the pirates there..."

After saying that, Uehara Naraku hung up the Den Den Mushi.

"Um?"

Dracule Mihawk frowned, put away his Den Den Mushi, and looked at the Straw Hat Pirate with a strange expression: "What's your name?"

"I am Monkey D. Luffy!"

The little guy in the straw hat gave a thumbs up, a confident smile spreading across his face: "I'll definitely become the Pirate King!"

Second update!
