Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 567 Mary Geoise Besieged Before the War Begins

Fortunately, Sasuke Uchiha did not lose his mind.

If he hadn't stopped the Whitebeard Pirates, they might not have had to go to Marineford; they might have been arrested and put on the execution list...

Create a massive war...

In this war, it seems that Uehara Naraku's goal is to control the world, whether in terms of power or influence.

For example, in the ninja world, Uehara Naraku orchestrated the Fourth Shinobi World War, which ultimately ended well, but the entire ninja world's morale collapsed...

but…

People in this world seem to have a stronger mentality, right?

In any case, this war has come to an inevitable conclusion, unless Uehara Naraku is willing to intervene forcefully to stop it.

After the entire Whitebeard Pirates crew completed the coating of all three Moby Dick ships, they hurriedly submerged with Rayleigh and headed to Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.

Besides them...

There are also two remnants from the previous generation.

Silvers Rayleigh, the god of the underworld, and Shiki the Golden Lion.

As for all the affiliated pirate crews, they all headed towards Marineford as a group, wiping out all the warships that were monitoring the Whitebeard Pirates along the way…

The City of Seven Waters.

While the Whitebeard Pirates were heading to Marineford, the New Red Fox, which was stationed in Water 7, also set sail for Marineford. They were remnants of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Impelton Prison.

A warship stopped here, and at this time, Marshall D. Teach, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, entered Impel Down Prison, laughing and joking as he barged into the bottom level of this large prison.

Just then…

Taking advantage of the opportunity, a large fleet slowly bypassed Impelton Prison, passing through the Prison's Gate of Justice and entering the swirling currents. The leading ship was a large, dragon-headed vessel.

This is the main force of the revolutionary army.

The Whitebeard Pirates, the remnants of the Red-Haired Pirates, and the Revolutionary Army are all heading towards Marineford. They will arrive at Marine Headquarters today.

Naval Headquarters.

Marineford.

The island was on unprecedented alert, with 100,000 navy personnel swarming into Marineford's plaza. A group of vice admirals from the Marine Headquarters stood among them, directing their subordinates to check their weapons, ready to engage in battle at any moment...

Every Vice Admiral at the Navy Headquarters has a name that resonates with them!

Vice Admiral Onigumo…

Lieutenant General Doberman…

……

General who burned the mountain...

Lieutenant General Maynard…

These Marine Vice Admirals, who strike fear into the hearts of pirates on the Grand Line, have all gathered here, except for one Vice Admiral from the Marine Headquarters who brought shame upon them…

"Speaking of which, where is Lieutenant General Uehara?"

Maynard, munching on his cigarette, slowly began, "Even on this big day, is that guy still not transferred over from Sabaody Archipelago?"

"I don't think so?"

Onigumo frowned and said in a low voice, "For someone who offended Advisor Kabuto, being allowed to remain stationed in Sabaody Archipelago is already a pretty good arrangement for him!"

"This is already very generous."

The flying squirrel shook his head and explained softly, "His strength is clearly not commensurate with his rank of lieutenant general. Letting him be the commander of a branch base just doesn't feel like a responsible act towards the lives of the soldiers in that branch..."

"Let's not talk about that guy anymore. Have all the Seven Warlords of the Sea arrived?"

"Only Marshall Teach hasn't arrived yet; the other Seven Warlords of the Sea are already here..."

"I hope everything goes well today!"

"yes…"

"Hopefully, fewer soldiers will be killed..."

"Don't worry about that. If a battle arranged by Vice Admiral Kabuto ever suffers too many casualties, with a loss rate exceeding 50%, then there must be something wrong with us commanders!"

"That's a white beard..."

"And those restless revolutionaries!"

A group of lieutenant generals were chatting noisily, but none of them seemed to be smiling, because they didn't know if there would be a tomorrow after today...

Nowadays…

It's the day of the public execution!

Taking advantage of the week-long buffer period, the navy continuously deployed troops and built defensive lines in Marineford to maximize their geographical advantage.

A long row of execution platforms sits in the center of Marineford Square.

All the pirates, revolutionary army officers, and others on the publicly executed list have been taken to the dungeons of Marineford, where they will be executed by the Navy today.

And below the execution platform…

That was the defensive line of the three admirals of the Navy Headquarters.

Akainu, Aokiji, Kizaru.

The Navy Headquarters' top combat power has gathered here.

The three admirals now sit below the execution platform, under the watchful eyes of 100,000 naval personnel, yet they are chatting idly with differing moods.

However, they weren't talking about the Whitebeard Pirates.

Akainu sat in the central chair, turning to look at Aokiji, his face etched with barely concealed irritation: "Hmph, what exactly is Akatsuki trying to do? They orchestrated this war, yet they're not showing up?"

"You're also a member of Akatsuki, Sakazuki..."

Aokiji shook his head, his expression remaining calm: "But don't worry, we should receive news today..."

"yes."

Kizaru pursed his lips and chuckled as he advised his fellow countryman, "Sakazuki, there's no need to rush. When Akatsuki doesn't give orders, we just need to do what we want. As for when they give orders, we just need to carry them out..."

Even though all three admirals of the Navy Headquarters joined the Akatsuki organization, they ultimately went down different paths, but this time there were some obvious differences.

Within the Navy, Akainu is clearly a ruthless hawk who has always advocated eliminating all pirates at all costs; however, within the Akatsuki organization, Akainu has become a strange dove, advocating that the Akatsuki should not interfere too much with the Navy…

Compared to Akainu…

Aokiji, Akainu's old rival, is clearly different.

Within the Navy, Aokiji is a somewhat moderate dove, with a two-faced approach to everything; however, within the Akatsuki organization, he becomes a strange hawk, hoping that the Akatsuki will replace the World Government and take over the Navy, ending the Great Pirate Era…

Because the Akatsuki organization is very powerful.

Perhaps it was because the Akatsuki organization was so powerful, and because they didn't treat ordinary people as ruthlessly as the World Government—in fact, they encouraged more civilians to become stronger, and then these strong individuals would join the Akatsuki…

That's outrageous.

Compared to Akainu and Aokiji...

Kizaru's mindset is more moderate.

If Akatsuki were to take over the Navy, with its strength and status, it could continue to carry out its ambiguous justice and do whatever it wants.

If the Akatsuki organization doesn't interfere too much with the Navy, he can still do whatever he wants, given his status as an admiral...

Kizaru doesn't have many strengths, but he has an excellent mentality.

Even after learning that Aokiji and Akainu were both members of Akatsuki, Kizaru was able to quickly adjust his mindset and integrate into his dual identity as a Marine Admiral and an Akatsuki spy.

"Hmph! At least let us know their purpose!"

Upon hearing Kizaru's words, Akainu crossed his arms, snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Those Akatsuki guys... are they trying to use the Navy to wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"impossible."

Aokiji interrupted Akainu, slowly saying, "Given their strength, doing something like this shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Who knows..."

Kizaru chuckled and continued, "Maybe they want to conquer the world? The Seven Warlords seem to be having a good chat..."

"snort…"

Akainu coldly surveyed the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and said in a deep voice, "Apart from Boa Hancock, the rest are all on their own..."

"Sakazuki is one of our own."

Aokiji looked up at the sky and corrected Akainu.

Marineford's defensive line is at the very front.

That is the location of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The Navy clearly intended to use the Seven Warlords of the Sea as frontline fighters, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea had no objections.

Apart from Marshall D. Teach, the other six Shichibukai were in front of the Marineford defense line, chatting casually.

These Seven Warlords of the Sea seemed to have no shortage of topics to discuss, and even Boa Hancock, an outsider, had a vague feeling about it…

Actually, the relationship between the Seven Warlords of the Sea is quite good.

At the heart of the Marineford battlefield, Kabuto Yakushi, as the commander-in-chief of this war, and Sengoku the Buddha, as the naval admiral, are now standing on the execution platform.

Besides them, there was also Lieutenant General Garp.

Because Luffy and his two brothers are on the list of those to be executed today.

Sengoku the Buddha didn't want Garp to do anything foolish, which is why he had Garp stand here, so that if Garp did something stupid, he could restrain his old friend at any time.

"Three hours ago, Ben Beckman, a remnant of the Red-Haired Pirates, resupplyed in Water 7; two and a half hours ago, Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, appeared near Impel Down; and one hour ago, the Whitebeard Pirates disappeared from our sight."

Kabuto, stroking the Den Den Mushi in his hand, calmly continued, "Judging by the time, it seems they'll be arriving at Marineford from Sabaody soon..."

"Is everything ready?"

Sengoku the Buddha frowned, looking down at the Marines in Marineford Square, and said in a deep voice, "Even with 100,000 elite troops, we might not be able to easily deal with Whitebeard, not to mention Uchiha Sasuke and Dragon..."

As a former rival who chased Whitebeard to the death, Sengoku the Buddha knew Whitebeard's power well and was aware of the amount of energy that guy could unleash when he was truly enraged!

Destroy Marineford...

It's not a problem for a white-bearded man!

"There's nothing to worry about."

Kabuto shook his head, chuckled, and said, "Besides the Navy, all the CP agents will also be involved. Taking them down will be more than enough..."

In the dungeons of Marineford.

Coffins were placed here.

One by one, the reanimated ninjas emerged from the coffins.

Standing in front of this group of Edo Tensei ninjas was a group of special agents in uniform. They were all Jonin from the Anbu of various ninja villages. At this moment, they were looking at the figures at the front with awe!

None, the Second Tsuchikage.

Hozuki Gengetsu, the second generation Mizukage.

A, the Third Raikage.

Luo Sha, the fourth generation of Feng Ying.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage.

As for the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, the Fourth Hokage, and Madara Uchiha, they are not here now.

In addition to these CP agents, there is also a group of pacifist machines from the Navy Science Unit, which will become powerful tools for reaping pirates!

Now, everything is ready.

All combat forces of the entire Naval Headquarters have been assembled, and the live Den Den Mushi has been turned on.

"It's almost time."

Buddha Sengoku glanced at Zhou Haijun's formation, then, holding a piece of paper, walked to the microphone in the center of the execution platform and said softly, "Bring everyone here first..."

Bubbling...

Bubbling bubbling bubbling…

The Den Den Mushi rang urgently.

Buddha Sengoku couldn't help but frown. At this crucial moment, when the whole world was watching, who was calling him a Den Mushi?

Sengoku the Buddha slowly turned and walked to the side, answered the Den Den Mushi, and looked at the image on the screen. His expression immediately turned strange…

Because the person who called him was the Five Elders.

The expression on the Buddha Sengoku's face was subtle. What was going on? Why did the Five Elders give him a Den Den Mushi? Wouldn't it have been enough to just contact their trusted confidant, Kabuto Yakushi?

However, just as Sengoku connected to the Den Den Mushi…

One of the Five Elders' urgent voice reached Sengoku's ears: "Sengoku, Mary Geoise is surrounded! Send all the navy to reinforce us immediately, and be quick!"

Second update!
