Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 574 You brought the leader of Akatsuki to discuss with us the matter of joining forces to destroy the Akatsuki organization?

Uehara Naraku was lucky.

With Uehara Naraku's Fate Skill, they could easily find the right direction, except that the Whitebeard Pirates' main crew was submerged underwater.

Therefore, Uehara Naraku could only take Garp and Sengoku to Whitebeard's pirate crew, hoping to contact Whitebeard himself through them.

There are still forty pirate crews willing to follow Whitebeard, and these people have gathered from the New World to head to Marineford.

Uehara Naraku's warships quickly intercepted one of the pirate ships that was temporarily separated from the others.

The Great Pirate Knight Dorma of the New World.

When the knight Doma came to help Whitebeard, he had thought that someone would definitely lose their life in this war, but he still risked his life to help Whitebeard.

I never thought of that…

Before they even arrived at Marineford, they were already being watched by Garp and Sengoku.

When the wandering knight Dorma encountered the Marine Admiral and the Marine Hero, he was completely dumbfounded. What kind of luck was this, to run into the Buddha Sengoku and the Iron Fist Garp!

After Sengoku knocked the knight Dorma down with a single palm strike, he ordered him to contact Whitebeard: "Knight Dorma, contact that guy Newgate immediately and tell him to come and join us. I have something important to discuss with him now!"

"Pooh!"

Knight Doma stubbornly spat at Sengoku: "I'm not falling for that! Even if you kill me right now, I won't stop Dad from rescuing Ace!"

These pirates are very loyal, and only these pirates could be moved by Whitebeard, thus gradually gathering around him.

The knight Dorma was very stubborn.

No matter what Sengoku said, the knight Dorma was unwilling to delay Whitebeard's journey to Marineford; such loyalty was truly perplexing…

"Get that old man with the white beard over here right now!"

Sengoku gripped the collar of Ranger Doma tightly, roaring angrily, "Just getting in touch with him is enough! There's no time to waste here. If he arrives at Marineford before we meet, the entire Whitebeard Pirates will be wiped out!"

"I don't believe it..."

Knight Dorma was particularly dismissive of the Fleet Admiral's words: "No one in this world can defeat Father. The Navy is nothing but scheming..."

"Just tell Whitebeard!"

Sengoku the Buddha trembled with rage at the pirate's words. His voice was icy as he said, "Tell him that the World Government has been destroyed, and that the Rocks Pirates... no, that an even more terrifying evil force has been resurrected. He'll understand what I mean!"

"Are you kidding me!"

The knight Dorma was filled with astonishment.

To be honest, if given a choice, even if I were to believe that the Whitebeard Pirates would be destroyed, I wouldn't believe that the World Government would be destroyed...

That's the world government that has ruled this world for eight hundred years!

Sengoku looked at the Knight Doma with a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "This is not a joke, this is the truth. You should have heard of Akatsuki's reputation in the New World!"

"Yes...I have indeed heard of it..."

Knight Doma couldn't help but nod, and whispered, "When we visited our father, I think we overheard Sasuke mention that the leader of Akatsuki was a stingy guy or something..."

We don't have many people who care about such a small organization, because we've heard that this Akatsuki is just a small pirate group that's joined Kaido the Beasts...

"..."

Uehara Naraku's expression gradually became subtle.

Tsk, it seems Sasuke Uchiha doesn't have a very good impression of his leader. He's certainly spread a lot of rumors about him in the New World!

Sengoku shook his head at the Ranger Doma and whispered, "We initially thought Akatsuki had merely sided with Kaido of the Beasts, but now the facts prove us wrong. Akatsuki destroyed Mary Geoise and usurped power from the Navy..."

Bubbling...

Bubbling bubbling bubbling…

Just then, the Den Den Mushi on the Knight Dorma suddenly rang. Sengoku immediately stopped talking and snatched the Den Den Mushi from Dorma.

The Den Den Mushi (snail phone) was calling from Marco.

Originally, the Knight of the Rangers had promised to come to Marineford to help, but Marco was worried that something might have happened to him, so he came to ask him what was going on.

"Hey, Doma, what's up with you over there..."

"Marco."

Sengoku the Buddha gripped the Den Den Mushi in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Immediately halt your advance towards Marineford and have Whitebeard answer the phone right now!"

"Who are you…"

Marco's voice was somewhat hesitant.

The next moment, the white-bearded man's angry voice came through the Den Den Mushi: "Sengoku, you've kidnapped my son again?!"

As a former rival...

Whitebeard immediately recognized the voice of the Warring States period!

"No…"

Sengoku the Buddha shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Stop heading to Marineford immediately. The execution of Portgas D. Ace was a trap set by the Akatsuki against the Whitebeard Pirates. We must find a place to talk first..."

"What utter nonsense..."

The white-bearded man's voice sounded somewhat impatient.

Isn't Marineford the main naval base?

Even Whitebeard couldn't quite grasp it at first. Wasn't Marineford's execution a Navy conspiracy? How did it get involved with the Akatsuki organization?

"dawn?"

Just as Whitebeard was confused, Sasuke Uchiha flew down to his side and snatched the Den Den Mushi from his hand: "If you want to talk, first tell us how Ace is doing? Then tell us what's going on at Marineford!"

Before Sengoku could answer, Sasuke Uchiha suddenly continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the Akatsuki has already taken control of the Marines, right?"

"yes…"

Sengoku gripped the Den Den Mushi in his hand, his voice thick with unease: "The Akatsuki have taken control of the entire Marineford Navy and subjugated the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates. They've destroyed the World Government and are perhaps heading towards Marineford..."

On the Moby Dick.

Whitebeard, Uchiha Sasuke, and Marco exchanged bewildered glances.

Even the three of them couldn't have imagined that something like this would happen: the Akatsuki organization had taken control of the Marineford Navy and driven the Fleet Admiral out of the naval base...

This sounds so surreal…

And they didn't even know if it was true or false...

Whitebeard was reluctant to believe Sengoku's words, because he thought it might be a conspiracy by the Buddha Sengoku, especially if they arrived at Marineford too late...

What if Ace is executed?

This is a matter of credibility during the Warring States period.

At that very moment, there was another trustworthy man on the ship.

Garp's gruff voice reached Whitebeard's ears through the Den Den Mushi: "Hey, Newgate, those Akatsuki guys are way more powerful than the Rocks Pirates..."

"..."

Whitebeard fell into an eerie silence.

Sengoku is indeed not someone Whitebeard can trust, but Monkey D. Garp, the naval hero, is very reliable.

Gol D. Roger trusted Karp very much.

Even Roger's children were entrusted to Garp for upbringing before his death.

Besides, Garp mentioned the Rocks Pirates…

The Rocks Pirates, once invincible on the high seas and aspiring to be the King of the World, remain an unparalleled force even today…

Even Whitebeard knew that the current Whitebeard Pirates were still a bit weaker than the Rocks Pirates at their peak, because he had once been a member of the Rocks Pirates...

If Garp hadn't mentioned the Rocks Pirates, Whitebeard wouldn't have been very interested in what Garp and Sengoku were talking about; he just wanted to rescue Fire Fist Ace.

"Sasuke, give me the Den Den Mushi..."

The white-bearded man reached out and took the Den Den Mushi from Sasuke Uchiha, then suddenly burst into laughter into the Mushi: "Gurarararara... Let's find a place to talk... But... don't delay me from rescuing my son!"

"rest assured."

Sengoku slowly nodded, and said in a deep voice to the Den Den Mushi, "I hope that after hearing what we have to say, you still dare to go to Marineford to rescue Portgas D. Ace..."

"You don't need to worry about that."

The white-bearded man grinned, revealing a hearty smile: "I'm Whitebeard... Gurararara... Sengoku, you former Fleet Admiral, you sound even more pathetic than when you were chasing me!"

After saying that, Whitebeard glanced at Rayleigh beside him, and continued with a smile, "Alright, enough of that. If you want to see me, come aboard my ship! Some of our old friends are here... Gurarara..."

The two parties agreed on a time and place.

They decided on a location fifteen nautical miles outside the Gates of Justice in Marineford.

Uehara Naraku's Orange warship sped to the agreed location, where they met Whitebeard's flagship, the Moby Dick.

The person in charge of welcoming them was Uchiha Sasuke.

Sasuke Uchiha was undoubtedly the most interested in the Akatsuki organization, and he also believed Sengoku the most in what Sengoku the Buddha said. After all, Sasuke had always heard that Kabuto Yakushi was doing well in the World Government, and that a Marine Admiral had long been a member of Akatsuki…

The Akatsuki organization has taken control of the Marineford Navy…

This is not surprising at all to the Akatsuki. Back in the day, Uehara Naraku even commanded the Allied Shinobi Forces!

"As agreed..."

Sasuke Uchiha stepped onto the seawater and stopped in front of the Orange Warship. He raised his head and called out loudly, "The old man sent me to pick you up, don't delay..."

Sasuke Uchiha's words came to an abrupt halt.

As he saw Sengoku and Garp, and also Uehara Naraku behind them, Sasuke's expression gradually turned grim.

This is fucking...

What's going on?!

Uchiha Sasuke thought they would have two more powerful allies, and at least they could get some information about Marineford from Sengoku and Garp!

but…

Can anyone tell him?

Sengoku wanted to discuss joining forces with the Whitebeard Pirates to defeat the Akatsuki, but he brought the Akatsuki leader with him. What was this guy's intention?

First update!
