Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 589 Daily Life: The Life of the Second Generation of Akatsuki

Red Earth Continent.

Xiao's headquarters has finally been built.

This city was named the Rain Capital by Konan. It is inhabited by members of Akatsuki and serves as a place for training and residence.

This new holy site is completely different from the Mary Geoise of the past. It is actually a place for cultivating the strong, rather than a symbol of supreme status.

even so…

Countless people still want to enter this place on the high seas.

If they were to get in, they would see that the conditions here are far inferior to those outside, and in comparison, even less prosperous than Doflamingo's Dressrosa.

Throughout the entire Rain City…

The only building that could be described as prosperous was the main hall used by the Akatsuki members for meetings; the other buildings had not been specially renovated.

Uehara Naraku floated in the air, slowly observing the scenery of the entire Rain City. His gaze finally settled on a blue-haired woman on the ground.

Uehara Naraku slowly raised his finger.

The next moment, dark clouds drifted in from the sky.

Dark clouds slowly gathered over the Rain City, and raindrops fell like silk threads, gradually filling the entire Rain City with the sound of pattering rain.

It makes you feel nostalgic.

Uehara Naraku's figure landed beside Konan, and an umbrella appeared out of thin air beside him, shielding Konan's head.

"Naraku?"

Konan turned around in surprise and saw Uehara Naraku standing in the rain. Her brows furrowed slightly: "It's very cold here, don't stand outside in the rain..."

The City of Rain is built on the highest point of the Red Earth.

The temperature here is indeed much lower than in other places, and the raindrops falling on people only make them feel a little cold.

"..."

Uehara Naraku slowly nodded and hid under the umbrella. The two of them, just like before, strolled slowly in the rain under the same umbrella.

This scene was witnessed by many people.

Kisame Hoshigaki stood on a high platform, looking down at the two figures. He grinned and chuckled, saying, "Looks like it's going to rain all over the Rain Capital except Sundays..."

"That's not bad either..."

The enormous Princess Shirahoshi cautiously approached and whispered, "Um... Lord Kisame, will I be living here from now on?"

"You can leave."

Kisame Hoshigaki glanced at Princess Shirahoshi, grinned, and said, "If you don't want to stay here, you can choose to leave Akatsuki at any time. It's not like no one has ever been able to leave Akatsuki before..."

"But...but..."

Princess Shirahoshi glanced around timidly, then cautiously continued, "Lord Kisame... I... I wouldn't dare..."

This mermaid princess…

They have an unusually small amount of courage.

Jinbe flew down to Kisame's side and said solemnly, "Princess, do not leave Akatsuki. This matter concerns the survival of our Fishman Island..."

As one of the Ancient Weapons, Poseidon, Princess Shirahoshi is qualified to become a full member of Akatsuki, which puts King Neptune and Fish-Man Island at ease.

The title of a member of Akatsuki...

That's enough to protect the entire Fishman Island!

After all, every country and island in the ocean is hoping that a formal member of Akatsuki will emerge in their country so that they can be protected.

If no one shelters them...

Until Akatsuki introduces new policies, these countries have no voting rights at the meeting, which means they are at the mercy of others.

Moreover, Fishman Island offers more than one spot…

Now, with the addition of Kisame Hoshigaki and Jinbe, Fishman Island has a full three official Akatsuki members. As long as they don't offend any powerful forces or those unreasonable Akatsuki heirs, no one will dare to provoke Fishman Island!

Fishman Island is really lucky...

In comparison, Amazon Lily of Daughter Island is also quite lucky.

To protect Amazon Lily, the world's most beautiful woman, Boa Hancock, volunteered to join the Akatsuki organization after passing the trials. However, this world's most beautiful woman actually had ulterior motives…

"Kaguya-sama, it's raining!"

Boa Hancock's melodious voice echoed through the luxurious house, a suspicious blush flashing across her face: "Lord Kaguya, the rainy day feels quite nice... Would you like to go for a walk together?"

"..."

A hint of confusion appeared on Kaguya Otsutsuki's face.

Boa Hancock's face lit up with joy, and she excitedly screamed, "Aaaaaah, even a bewildered Kaguya-sama is so cute!"

"..."

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked even more confused.

Ever since this woman named Boa Hancock entered the Rain City, it's become quite lively, with her alluring voice echoing every day...

This woman…

What exactly happened?

Compared to Boa Hancock's life in the Rain City, Doflamingo's life was much more peaceful. As the king of Dressrosa, he could have chosen to stay in his palace, but Doflamingo chose to remain there permanently.

For him, it was a symbol of victory.

Moreover, as the top boss of the underworld, Doflamingo captured many of the underworld's leaders and brought them to Impel Down, which caused him a lot of trouble.

If Doflamingo hadn't moved into Rain City...

So, before Kabuto Yakushi completely eradicates the underworld, Doflamingo will have to deal with these troubles for a long time.

Doflamingo is living a very comfortable life now. He even brought his lover Violet to the Rain City to marry her and plans to have a son to revive the Donquixote family!

In the future…

Doflamingo plans to have his son join the Akatsuki organization before he retires. What's wrong with his brain?!

Perhaps it's because...

Did Doflamingo witness the lives of other Akatsuki members?

indeed…

The Akatsuki organization had only been ruling the world for a short time, yet a group of so-called Akatsuki second-generation members had already begun to appear in the world.

The most famous second-generation Akatsuki on this sea right now is probably Monkey D. Luffy of the Straw Hat Pirates, because everyone knows about his background after a war.

Father Monkey D. Dragon, grandfather Monkey D. Garp, brothers Portgas D. Ace and Sabo, are all official members of Akatsuki.

Monkey D. Luffy's strength is also advancing rapidly, and everyone knows that this little guy is destined to join the Akatsuki organization in the future.

That's so enviable...

Before the Akatsuki organization took over the world, Monkey D. Luffy's family background was already astonishing enough; after the Akatsuki took over the world, Monkey D. Luffy's life seemed to continue quite well...

He should have been on the execution platform...

As a result, due to his father and grandfather's surrender, the fact that the Straw Hat Pirates hadn't done anything wrong, and Nico Robin's private plea, Luffy was eventually released after the war.

However, Monkey D. Luffy isn't doing so well...

The main reason is that their dream of becoming the Pirate King was cut short, and now they can only call themselves the Straw Hat Pirates, whose main purpose is to find ONE PIECE.

All the pirates on the entire sea were once searching for ONE PIECE.

Because finding ONE PIECE grants a chance to join the Akatsuki organization. While this differs from the old saying that obtaining ONE PIECE means obtaining the world, it's still a decent reward…

however…

Private plundering is not permitted at sea.

If you want to go out to sea, you have to prepare your own supplies and money, and even the toll fees for each island and other miscellaneous things.

In order to raise funds…

The Wanli Sunshine voyages at sea while also earning money by hauling cargo.

Luffy, the captain, inevitably became a loader, having to do hard labor on every island he visited, helping their customers move goods.

Of course, they haven't forgotten their original profession.

Occasionally, they would go hunting and try to find some treasures at sea to make a fortune.

"What kind of hellish days are these...?"

Nami looked at the money in her hand with a sorrowful expression, a hint of pain on her face: "I've counted it several times, and this trip with the wind earned us 300,000 Berries... That's less than what Nojiko and I earn from growing oranges..."

"Then let's have a banquet!"

Luffy grinned and raised his arms: "If we make money now, we can sail for a long time again!"

"What kind of banquet is this?!"

Enraged, Nami punched Luffy on the head.

The next moment, the navigator sighed to himself again and squatted down in a corner of the deck: "If only that important man would return the money he stole from us..."

"Well..."

Nico Robin glanced at Nami with a subtle expression and whispered, "Although... it's still best not to speak ill of the Akatsuki leader..."
