Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 546 Luffy: My Navy Vice Admiral Grandpa… (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Enel that guy…

In the end, they still chose to go to the moon.

This user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit wants to establish a lunar base.

For Uehara Naraku and the Akatsuki organization, no matter what Enel's choice is, the final result will be the same: everything Enel does will become Akatsuki's achievement.

Moon…

There are quite a few secrets in this world!

To this day, remnants of past civilizations still exist on the moon. Due to resource scarcity, the inhabitants of the moon once brought advanced technology and civilization to the ocean…

Uehara Naraku was starting to wonder if this world was like the ninja world, where aliens from outer space brought Devil Fruits or something, and their descendants ruled the world while also resisting the arrival of other aliens.

For example, Kaguya Otsutsuki, who likes to plant trees…

"This is a communication ring..."

After healing Enel, Uehara Naraku casually tossed him a ring and whispered, "I'll occasionally reach out to you for a chat, in case one day I find myself unable to stay on the moon..."

"impossible!"

Enel interrupted Uehara Naraku, his expression turning somewhat grim as he accepted the ring: "As the price for our defeat in the God War, this sky island is yours..."

"Never again should you call yourself a god."

Uehara Naraku patted Enel on the shoulder and sighed, "Those who like to call themselves gods are usually the ones who get defeated. After I return to the sea, I'll probably have to kill quite a few more guys who like to call themselves gods..."

"..."

Enel's expression was somewhat stiff.

Even though we're about to part ways, can't you still speak like a human being?

"I see."

Enel put on the ring symbolizing his Akatsuki membership and said coldly, "But no one dares to mock a god. Last time, a guy named Kakuzu landed on Skypiea and mocked the majesty of a god. I knocked that guy down into the White Sea..."

"You've both lost."

Uehara Naraku's lips twitched involuntarily. He shook his head and sighed, "Why don't you stop being so stubborn? Kakuzu is also a member of Akatsuki. I know everything that happened between you..."

"..."

Enel fell silent again.

The next moment, his figure vanished in a bolt of lightning.

After a long while, a ship floating in the air, sparkling with electricity, flew towards the moon in the sky; it was Enel's Ark Proverb.

Uehara Naraku did not stay on the Sky Island for very long.

Enel was just a pawn he casually placed; on Jaya Island beneath Skypiea, Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates are waiting for his return.

This is the real top priority.

Gaya Island, Mogok Town Pier.

The Straw Hat Pirates are still waiting for Uehara Naraku here.

The arrest and impending public execution of Portgas D. Ace has caused Monkey D. Luffy considerable anxiety. As his sworn brother who grew up together, Luffy cannot ignore such a situation!

Seeing Luffy's somewhat dejected state, Nami offered some information: "After the Navy captures pirates, they are usually imprisoned in Impel Down... Could Ace also be imprisoned in Impel Down?"

"That would be more troublesome."

Sanji, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, shook his head and said, "Impelton Prison isn't a place just anyone can enter, and even if you do get in, you might not have a chance to escape..."

"Then let's go to Impelton!"

Luffy clenched his fist tightly, but after saying that, he interrupted himself, "No, I'll go myself!"

"A...a large prison?"

Chopper's body trembled.

However, at this moment, although Chopper's face showed fear, he still managed to say, "Ace's men are very good, I'll go too..."

Just as Luffy was about to leave the Going Merry, Zoro swung his sword sheath and knocked Luffy to the ground, coldly saying, "Don't be silly, you're the captain of this ship! Calm down! If we want to get to Impel Down, we at least need to find out what's going on..."

This idiot…

Do you still want to abandon your companions? Because you realize the danger, do you not want everyone to take the risk together?

"I have some guesses about it."

Nico Robin suddenly spoke up to ease the situation, and everyone's attention was drawn to her by her words.

After saying that, Nico Robin continued, "If the Navy really imprisoned Mr. Ace in Impel Down, they wouldn't have made a special announcement in the newspapers that they had secretly imprisoned him."

The Navy's goal is definitely to prevent Mr. Ace's Whitebeard Pirates from attacking Impel Down before his public execution. If we want to rescue Mr. Ace, we still need to find out where he is being held..."

At this point, Nico Robin slowly closed her hands and whispered, "Perhaps Uehara does know where Mr. Ace is being held..."

Usopp paced back and forth impatiently, then suddenly looked up at Nico Robin, then at Luffy, and then glanced at Nami and Sanji.

These people had all been in contact with Uehara Naraku.

"Hey Robin, Luffy, Nami, Sanji, do you guys really think that guy named Uehara Naraku would tell us anything about Luffy's brother? That guy's a Marine Vice Admiral!"

"That guy probably does..."

Luffy nodded slowly, replying somewhat nervously, "I've known Uehara for a long time. Although he's never done anything good in front of us, Makino said that he's actually a good person. A vice admiral isn't anything special..."

"Indeed, Uehara is still a kind-hearted person..."

After saying something against her conscience, Nico Robin suddenly looked at Luffy and made another suggestion.

"Speaking of which, Luffy, isn't your grandfather Vice Admiral Garp? If we can't wait for Uehara any longer, perhaps we can get news about Mr. Ace from Vice Admiral Garp..."

This suggestion is very apt.

Because Monkey D. Garp, as a high-ranking officer in the Navy, must know the location where Portgas D. Ace is being held, as he is a Navy hero!

"That old man, Grandpa!"

When Vice Admiral Garp was mentioned, a look of fear flashed across Luffy's face: "No, Grandpa will probably kill me, he's almost killed me countless times since I was a kid..."

Now that I've kept my promise to Shanks and become a pirate, maybe if Grandpa saw me, he really would kill me!

"Vice Admiral Garp isn't that bad..."

Just as Monkey D. Luffy was talking about Monkey D. Garp's bad behavior, a voice suddenly appeared in their ears.

Uehara Naraku's figure appeared on their ship at some point, and he said softly, "If I'm not mistaken, Vice Admiral Garp should be with Ace... I heard that Vice Admiral Garp has always regarded Ace as his own grandson..."

Monkey D. Garp treats Portgas D. Ace no differently than he treats his own grandson, Monkey D. Luffy.

Perhaps it should be even more special.

That man known for his iron fist...

Despite his steely will, he also had a soft side, especially when dealing with Portgas D. Ace.

Garp truly considered Ace as family.

Portgas D. Ace also regarded Garp as his grandfather.

If the World Government wanted to capture Ace and execute Portgas D. Ace, it would be impossible to hide it from Garp.

"Don't mention Grandpa anymore!"

Luffy interrupted Uehara Naraku, his face full of earnestness, and said, "Uehara, do you know how to save Ace? No, do you know where Ace is being held?"

"Yes, I know a little."

Uehara Naraku glanced at everyone present and said softly, "But this matter absolutely cannot be leaked, and the place where Ace is imprisoned is more terrifying than you can imagine. If possible, I hope you will go to Sabaody first..."

"I need to know where Ace is being held!"

Luffy shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Please, Uehara! After I rescue Ace, I will definitely go to that Sabaody Archipelago!"

"Judicial Island".

Uehara Naraku calmly uttered the place name, then continued, "Before you go to Enies Lobby, I suggest you go to Sabaody Archipelago and find Rayleigh, the former vice-captain of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, and ask for his opinion..."

"The vice-captain of the Pirate King!"

Everyone present couldn't help but be somewhat astonished.

Luffy clenched his fist tightly, shook his head, and finally smiled: "Although I really want to see the Pirate King's vice-captain, I'll go and rescue Ace myself!"

"never mind…"

Uehara Naraku shook his head and sighed, "Before that, I want to remind you that you only have one chance to rescue Ace and Sabo... because after the incident at Enies Lobby, they will definitely strengthen their defenses!"

"Sabo?"

Luffy's expression momentarily showed a hint of confusion.

The next moment, Luffy's expression changed drastically, becoming extremely grim: "Wait, Uehara, has Sabo been captured too?"

This news…

Luffy just found out too!

Because the headlines were already dominated by the arrest of Portgas D. Ace, the Revolutionary Army's affairs, which hadn't attracted much attention to begin with, were now even less of a concern...

but…

Luffy, however, would definitely care about Sabo's safety!

"Um?"

Uehara Naraku looked at Luffy with a puzzled expression: "Speaking of which, don't you guys know about this? The news for the past two weeks has been all about Sabo, the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army. Has it already become outdated?"

"No."

Luffy shook his head and whispered, "Thank you for telling me this, Uehara. I will rescue Ace and Sabo!"

Now that we know our destination, we can start working on the next step of our plan: head straight to Enies Lobby to rescue Ace and Sabo!

This guy is incredibly brave!

brain...

They're not just ordinary innocents!

Fortunately, the Straw Hat Pirates managed to stop Luffy's rampage, and they decided to head towards Enies Lobby while figuring out how to get in...

Just as the Straw Hat Pirates left Mock Town and headed to Enies Lobby, a Marine Vice Admiral in Marineford confirmed with the person in charge, Kabuto Yakushi, that Ace had been imprisoned on Enies Lobby all along.

It was Monkey D. Garp.

In fact, Vice Admiral Garp was the last among the Marine high command to know about Ace's arrest and where he was being held...

Third update!
