Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 562 Marineford Execution List, One Person Urgent!

He killed Uehara Naraku...

That's really dirty hands!

Rayleigh sighed inwardly, lamenting the corruption and darkness within the Navy. However, the more incompetent the Vice Admirals stationed at Sabaody Archipelago were, the more pirates would enter the latter half of the Grand Line.

"never mind."

Rayleigh glanced at Naraku Uehara, then turned to leave, saying, "Kid, consider your 500,000 Berries a lesson learned..."

"stop!"

Uehara Naraku hurriedly stepped forward and blocked Rayleigh's path, his face full of anger at being mocked: "Hey, you dare to mess with me... Do you know who I am?"

"I know, I know..."

Rayleigh, the Dark Lord, nodded with a smile, as if comforting a naive child, and continued, "Vice Admiral Uehara Naraku, the commander of the Sabaody Archipelago naval base... who on the entire island doesn't know you?"

"Now that you know I'm a vice admiral..."

Uehara Naraku clenched his fists, staring at Rayleigh with a sinister smile, threatening, "Do you know the consequences of offending me in Sabaody Archipelago? I'm not like Onigumo and his gang! If you dare offend me, I can throw you into Impel Down right now!"

While saying these words...

Uehara felt a little strange.

This long-lost desire to perform is something I really miss!

However, the world has never needed him to perform, and Uehara Naraku's script had long been taken by his subordinates...

Unfortunately…

Rayleigh, the god of the underworld, is not a very tactful person.

"Is your perspective really that narrow?"

Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld, patted Uehara Naraku on the shoulder and continued with a smile, "Little guy, do you know who I am?"

This lieutenant general…

That's really brainless!

Moreover, for a Marine Vice Admiral to not even recognize the Pirate King's first mate is simply too unqualified... These young Marines really need to be taught a lesson sometimes.

It's truly baffling how such a young and foolish guy became a vice admiral, and even managed to share the same rank as Garp...

Garp was the one who could corner the Roger Pirates, yet Vice Admiral Uehara Naraku has been captured twice and still has the nerve to flaunt his vice admiral status…

"No matter who you are..."

Uehara Naraku pushed Rayleigh's hand away and said in a deep voice, "There aren't many people in this world I can't afford to offend, but I know you're definitely not one of them!"

At this point, Uehara Naraku, his face full of anger, brandished his fist, about to deliver a punch!

"Wasn't that too impulsive?"

Rayleigh smiled and shook his head, then reached out and grasped Uehara Naraku's fist. A glint flashed in the old man's eyes as he chuckled and said, "I earned 500,000 Berries today, and I'm in a very good mood..."

Besides earning 500,000 Berries…

There's also the fun of teasing a vice admiral.

It's so much fun to bully a little navy kid like that!

Rayleigh slowly twisted Uehara Naraku's arm, looking at the shocked Uehara Naraku, and continued with a smile, "Today isn't a good day for fighting, we should go have a good drink, so as not to waste our good mood..."

The next moment, Pluto Bailey's smile deepened, and he suddenly released Uehara Naraku's fist, releasing a burst of Conqueror's Haki from Rayleigh's body!

Under his control, the domineering impact hit Uehara Naraku head-on!

This legendary first mate is completely able to control his Haki, and under the direct impact of this Conqueror's Haki, no ordinary person could possibly withstand it!

Rayleigh, watching the incompetent vice admiral before him collapse from the impact of his Haki, couldn't help but chuckle, shake his head, and sigh: "Really... how could a vice admiral like that possibly protect us civilians living in Sabaody Archipelago?"

After speaking, Rayleigh crouched down, rummaged through Uehara Naraku's wallet, and slowly nodded, saying, "Hmm, still a poor wretch? He only has a few tens of thousands of Berries on him... Could the little guy have used all his money to buy me, his slave?"

Although he verbally looked down on Pele's contribution...

But Rayleigh's hand still obediently put the money into his pocket.

Rayleigh nodded contentedly, stroked his chin, and left on his own, muttering to himself as he went, "Made such a big sum of money today, 500,000 Berries should be enough to buy a bottle of rum from Shakky? 500,000 Berries for a bottle of rum, she really likes to rip people off..."

Since Rayleigh retired, he has been staying in the Sabaody Archipelago, with his old friend Shakky by his side.

Moreover, Rayleigh's desire to go to Shakky's tavern wasn't for drinking.

I just wanted to share this interesting little story from today.

After Rayleigh left, Naraku Uehara slowly opened his eyes. He conjured a Den Den Mushi out of thin air and dialed Kabuto Yakushi's number.

Kabuto seemed to be doing very well, and didn't hide his address to Uehara Naraku: "Lord Naraku, is there anything you need me to do?"

"Hmm, there really is one..."

Uehara Naraku stood up, rubbed his temples, and asked, "I'd like to add someone to the execution list... Do you think that's appropriate?"

"Lord Naraku is joking!"

Through the Den Den Mushi, Kabuto chuckled, his voice suddenly becoming serious: "Whose name needs to be added? I'll handle this immediately! It should be Rayleigh, the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, right? I'll send men to arrest him right away!"

"It wasn't him."

Uehara Naraku curled the corners of his mouth, speaking with a look of pleasure: "Tsk, just a minute ago, Rayleigh robbed me of a lot of money and even played a trick on a Marine Vice Admiral like me. But for such a trivial matter, to send this old man to the execution platform is a bit too harsh, isn't it? Kabuto, you need to change your temper!"

"yes…"

Kabuto, the pharmacist in the Den Den Mushi, respectfully agreed.

"alright."

Uehara Naraku slowly turned his head to look at Area 13 of the Sabaody Archipelago, where Shakky's extortion bar was located. His smile became more and more subtle: "The person who is going to the execution platform is a bar owner who likes to extort money. I will catch her myself. You just need to send someone to take her away."

"...The bar owner?"

Kabuto hesitated for a second in the Den Den Mushi, then immediately thought of someone and couldn't help but say, "I'll arrange this immediately. Borsalino happens to be free, so have him go and bring him back!"

If it were a regular person escorting Xia Qi...

Rayleigh might kidnap someone.

However, if it were a Marine Admiral, Rayleigh wouldn't be able to do anything about it for the time being and could only watch helplessly as Shakky was taken away.

This is also a foolproof approach.

Area 13, Sabaody Archipelago.

Xiaqi's Bamboo Bar Tavern.

Rayleigh, sitting opposite Shakky, bought a bottle of rum and began to talk about the day's events with a smile, emphasizing the incompetent Vice Admiral Uehara Naraku.

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

Having finished recounting the day's events, Rayleigh reached out and took the wine glass from Shakky, slowly draining it. He chuckled and continued, "With a Vice Admiral like this here, it looks like the future is going to be quite interesting..."

"Don't go too far."

Shakky lit a cigarette, blew a smoke ring, and frowned as she said, "You're not young anymore. If the Navy notices you again, things won't be easy for you in the future..."

"ha…"

Rayleigh poured himself a glass of wine, smiled, and shook his head, saying, "The Navy will notice sooner or later, and besides, I won't be absent from that war anytime soon..."

Rayleigh originally only wanted to rescue Crocus and incidentally help rescue Fire Fist Ace, but now he has to lend a hand to help the Red-Haired Pirates rescue Shanks.

This war was one we could not afford to miss.

If Rayleigh were to join the battle, the World Government and the Navy would absolutely no longer be able to ignore him as the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates!

"Fine, whatever you want!"

Shakky shook her head and extended her hand to Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld: "But before you go, give me your Life Paper..."

"…good."

Rayleigh nodded slowly.

Life Paper is a special item on the Grand Line. It represents the life force of the owner of the Life Paper and can instantly inform people far away of their status.

generally…

It will only be given to relatives.

If the Life Paper is intact, it means that the owner of the Life Paper is still alive and well, which can put the family at ease.

If the Life Paper is torn or shrunk, it means the owner is injured; if the Life Paper turns to ashes, it means the owner's life has ended...

This war is far too dangerous.

The strength of world governments and navies is not what it used to be.

Even Rayleigh, the Dark King, had occasionally observed the admirals who came to Sabaody Archipelago for inspections, and the strength of the three admirals of the Marine Headquarters was definitely getting stronger and stronger!

In recent years, many great pirates who had been hiding in the old era have been sent to the Great Prison by the three admirals of the Marine Headquarters as soon as they have emerged!

Besides the three admirals of the Navy Headquarters who have become stronger, and those powerful guys from the Seven Warlords of the Sea, there is also the behemoth CP organization under Kabuto Yakushi's command!

This spy organization…

It has become a nightmare for almost the entire ocean!

In particular, the CP department's defeat of the Red-Haired Pirates means that this spy organization now possesses the fighting strength of a Yonko (Emperor of the Sea) pirate crew.

Even if a powerhouse of Rayleigh's caliber wanted to participate in this war, it's hard to say that no unexpected events would occur...

at this point…

Both Rayleigh and Shakky were well aware of this.

The atmosphere in the tavern suddenly became somewhat oppressive. Rayleigh finished a bottle of wine, took out his Life Paper and handed it to Shakky, then prepared to leave Shakky's tavern.

Rayleigh adjusted his glasses, a slow smile spreading across his face. "Never mind, I'll go tease that lieutenant general and cheer myself up!"

"..."

Xia Qi shook her head speechlessly.

Just as Rayleigh left Shakky's tavern, a figure in a navy uniform walked in, arrogantly declaring, "I received a report that this establishment is suspected of extortion. If you, woman, don't want to come with us, then give me ten million Berries!"

It was Vice Admiral Uehara Naraku from the Sabaody Archipelago.

"..."

Xia Qi frowned, stubbed out her cigarette, and looked at Uehara Naraku, who had walked into the tavern and was asking her for money. Her expression turned slightly strange.

This lieutenant general was just tricked by Rayleigh...

Did this hit her on the head with a bamboo pole?
