Multiverse Mastermind: Starting in Naruto-Chapter 526 - 428: News from the Black Spade Pirates of the New World

Chapter 526: Chapter 428: News from the Black Spade Pirates of the New World

Uehara Naraku and Doflamingo really are birds of a feather.

As the saying goes, it takes three years to learn good, but just three minutes to learn bad. When it comes to being a mastermind behind the scenes and playing with conspiracies, they have quite a common language.

Uehara Naraku once deceived a millennium-old mastermind single-handedly. In terms of acting skills and how to manipulate others, as well as numerous blame-shifting techniques...

These have been of great benefit to Doflamingo.

"Don’t always play the villain."

Uehara Naraku casually advised Doflamingo, "When you’re posing as an extremely wicked person on the surface, you must let others see the sparkle of humanity in you, making them think you’re someone who can still be saved..."

"Fufufufu... interesting, interesting."

Doflamingo slowly nodded, smiling as he continued, "But right now, I’m deeply entrenched in the Dark World. No matter how you look at it, it seems difficult to convince others that I’m someone who can be saved, doesn’t it?"

"Then choose a suitable scapegoat!"

Uehara Naraku’s gaze slightly wandered as he spoke softly, "You currently have trading ties with Four Emperors Kaido, right? Then find a way to blame all the evil on Kaido’s head, crafting yourself as the victim..."

When Uehara Naraku reached this point, he leisurely spoke, "Kaido is one of the Four Emperors, no matter how many scapegoats he’s burdened with, he wouldn’t care, and that guy wouldn’t refute the world’s perception of him..."

"...Yes."

Doflamingo slowly nodded.

This most powerful member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea joined the Akatsuki, allowing Uehara Naraku’s grasp to extend thoroughly into the New World, utilizing him to implement his plans.

If in the future, using Hoshigaki Kisame to deal with Jinbe, and then letting Kakuzu replace Moonlight Moriah, in this way, the Seven Warlords of the Sea could occupy three positions...

Uehara Naraku gazed at the sea, touching his chin, wondering whether Sasuke’s infiltration into the Whitebeard Pirates was going smoothly...

After all, that particular person there was poised to become his next boss after Mr. Crocodile’s end.

This is called seamless transition.

Grand Line, New World.

The Black Spade Pirates clearly did not live up to Uehara Naraku’s expectations.

At this time, they had not yet reached Whitebeard Pirates’ territory, instead intruding into the Red Hair Pirates’ domain, as Portgas D. Ace insisted on visiting Red-haired Shanks to thank Shanks for saving Luffy back in the day.

Except this group of Pirates is a bit different, with two supernovas on the verge of breaking through the billion bounty mark, charging into the New World recklessly...

No matter how you look at it, it seems like they want to challenge Red Hair’s position as one of the Four Emperors!

"Are the super rookies coming to challenge me?"

When Red-haired Shanks heard the news, a broad smile suddenly appeared on his face. "Hahahahaha... finally someone is coming to challenge my position again. There’s never been such fearsome rookies in the sea!"

"The captain is being underestimated!"

"Hahahahaha... the captain’s name is too small!"

"Let me go have a look!"

The vice captain of the Red Hair Pirates, Benn Beckman, loaded his gun, his expression not as cheerful as his comrades, and he nonchalantly said, "These guys almost dealt with Kizaru; the Black Spade Pirates are not people to be underestimated!"

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

Red-haired Shanks nodded hurriedly, smiling as he continued, "But we can’t be too rude! They’re the super rookies the sea has never seen before, Beckman, let’s go and meet them!"

"As captain, you should at least make your appearance last!"

Benn Beckman casually smoked, speaking indifferently, "You just wait here, I’ll bring them to meet you!"

After speaking, Benn Beckman casually selected a few officers and left their base, with absolute confidence to play the Black Spade Pirates as he pleased.

As a formidable figure in the New World, Benn Beckman is known for his prowess but also has strategies surpassing many in the world.

In a matter of days.

The Black Spade Pirates, inexplicably searching for Red-haired Shanks, gradually found themselves surrounded by the Red Hair Pirates, completely besieged by a group of formidable foes.

Benn Beckman miscalculated none whatsoever.

No one on the Black Spade Pirates saw through his strategy, and the entire Black Spade Pirates were surrounded on a desolate island by Benn Beckman’s crew.

Portgas D. Ace sat dejectedly on the island, glanced at the Pirates closing in from all directions, "Hey, we only wanted to visit Shanks..."

"Kid."

A high-pitched voice interrupted his thoughts, "If you want to pay our captain a visit, then obediently surrender first!"

"Okay..."

"Shut up!"

Uchiha Sasuke interrupted his captain, speaking in a sullen voice, "First, let’s defeat these guys, capture their officers, and directly knock over Red-haired Shanks!"

"Eh?"

Ace couldn’t help but scratch his head, quickly reaching out to grab Uchiha Sasuke’s Ninja Blade, "Sasuke... wait, wait... Shanks is Luffy’s savior!"

Ace adjusted his hat with a smile, "If we do this, that guy Luffy would be sad when he finds out... as long as we get to meet him, I’m sure this misunderstanding can be cleared up!"

"Don’t be ridiculous!"

Uchiha Sasuke shook his head, speaking in a deep voice, "You’re the captain of the Black Spade Pirates. How can you submit to an enemy! Once we break through here, we’ll see that Shanks, and resolve this misunderstanding!"

Gotta say.

Benn Beckman’s plan didn’t go wrong.

The only mistake was underestimating Uchiha Sasuke’s power. Facing the might of Susanoo and Sasuke’s elusive tactics, other pirates couldn’t even intervene.

The Vice Captain of the Black Spade Pirates, Uchiha Sasuke, and the Vice Captain of the Red Hair Pirates, Benn Beckman, fought fiercely for a day. Even with Sasuke holding back, Benn Beckman, this Red Hair Vice Captain, was defeated and captured by Uchiha Sasuke.

This is...

Really embarrassing.

"Sorry."

Ace looked at the captive caught by Uchiha Sasuke and sincerely bowed to Benn Beckman, apologizing, "I was just passing through the territory of the Red Hair Pirates, wanted to drop by and say hi to Shanks because he’s my brother Luffy’s lifesaver..."

"..."

Benn Beckman weakly lay on the ground.

Upon hearing Ace’s words, Benn Beckman’s expression turned even more feeble, "Hmm? You’re the brother of that little guy Luffy?"

"Yeah!"

Ace couldn’t help scratching the back of his head, speaking softly, "I specially learned etiquette from sister Makino for today..."

"..."

This guy even mentioned Makino.

Whether Makino or Luffy, they represented the most leisurely and carefree time of the Red Hair Pirates.

Benn Beckman remained silent for a while, then spoke, "Then please take the Radio Snail out from my pocket first, I need to call Shanks...to save that idiot from worrying."

"Alright, alright."

Ace rubbed his forehead, still apologizing softly, "I’m really sorry, our Vice Captain thought you were here to wipe us out..."

"He wasn’t wrong."

Beckman shook his head, watching Ace hand over the Radio Snail, spoke in a muffled voice, "Any way you slice it, two fiercely rising super rookies look like they’re here to challenge the Four Emperors’ throne. Can I get a cigarette?"

"Sure, sure."

Ace handed him a cigarette and even helped light it for him.

After dialing the Radio Snail, Shanks’ anxious voice immediately came through, "Hey, Beckman, are you alright!"

"It’s fine, just a misunderstanding."

Benn Beckman took a drag from his cigarette, with a somewhat complex expression, said, "The Captain of the Black Spade Pirates, Portgas D. Ace, is Luffy’s brother, he’s just passing by to say hi to you..."

"Luffy’s brother is that strong?"

"His Vice Captain is stronger than yours."

"Don’t say it like that!"

Red-haired Shanks’ voice instantly carried a hint of laughter, "It’s not that bad! Hahaha... from now on Lucky Roux, Yasopp, those guys won’t just laugh at me, but at both of us. You’re the best Vice Captain in the world!"

While they were using the Radio Snail in the cabin,

Uchiha Sasuke was outside contacting Uehara Naraku, worried about getting noticed, he used the Rinnegan’s communication ability.

"Uehara Naraku, there’s a minor issue, anyway, we might soon meet up with Red-haired Shanks."

"Really envious of you!"

Uehara Naraku was rushing back to Alabasta, meanwhile checking off sites along the way. Hearing Sasuke’s words, he couldn’t help but show a bit of envy, "Always interacting with the Four Emperors, while here I can only bully a few Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

After saying that, Uehara Naraku laughed lightly, "Then why not test this Four Emperor’s attitude! See if this guy really knows about Portgas D. Ace’s identity, no, should say Gol D. Ace..."

Laughing further, Uehara Naraku continued, "By the way, how are the pirate’s strength in the latter part of the New World? Sasuke, do you think I have the chance to become the Pirate King?"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, silently transmitting his message back using Chakra, "I think you’re more suited to being a mastermind. Let Ace the fool take care of becoming Pirate King!"

"Ace has no chance to become the Pirate King."

Uehara Naraku nonchalantly refuted Uchiha Sasuke, "Ace has been living under the shadow of his father Gol D. Roger all his life unless one day, Ace can find the meaning of his own existence..."

After saying this, Uehara Naraku continued, "Although even then it won’t matter much, since he’s a pawn whose destiny I’ve long arranged!"

Truthfully, Uehara Naraku was concerned.

Now that Portgas D. Ace has Uchiha Sasuke as an all-powerful Vice Captain, could he really wind up sitting on the Pirate King throne?

Before cutting off communication, Uehara Naraku especially reminded Uchiha Sasuke, "Sasuke, don’t forget why I sent you to join the Black Spade Pirates."

Uehara Naraku suddenly laughed, his laughter was gentle, "Don’t let Portgas D. Ace veer off the path I’ve set for him. If his direction spirals out of control, you should know what fate awaits him, right?"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke was silent.

Uehara Naraku, does this guy even know how to be human?
