Multiverse Mastermind: Starting in Naruto-Chapter 529 - 430: The Navy Is the Best Place for Uehara Naraku

Chapter 529: Chapter 430: The Navy Is the Best Place for Uehara Naraku

At this moment, Whitebeard sat in his captain’s seat, gripping a newspaper. The results of the battle between the Black Spade Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates were written on it.

"Hmm?"

Whitebeard’s eyes narrowed slightly as he slowly spoke, "Has that Red Hair brat negotiated with the super rookies on the ocean? He’s indeed caught Roger’s bad habits..."

On this sea, there aren’t many who can freely criticize Pirate King Gol D. Roger, but Whitebeard is definitely the most qualified.

"Hmm."

Marco, standing next to Whitebeard, nodded with dead fish eyes, speaking softly, "Dad, they are heading towards our territory..."

"Is that so?"

Whitebeard’s mouth twitched, his massive beard trembling slightly as he laughed loudly, "Gurararara... Then let’s go meet them! Such super rookies have never appeared on the ocean before!"

Even in the era when he and Gol D. Roger contended, there have never been rookies as strong as Portgas D. Ace and Uchiha Sasuke. They are only seventeen this year!

Marco raised an eyebrow and said, "Dad, I’ll go meet them first..."

"No need."

Whitebeard shook his head.

To be honest, Whitebeard was more worried about his sons.

After all, the vice-captain of the Black Spade Pirates, Uchiha Sasuke, is someone who can even defeat Benn Beckman, the vice-captain of the Red Hair Pirates!

In the entire Whitebeard Pirates, apart from Marco, there is no one who can compare with Benn Beckman!

If Marco goes...

There’s a high possibility of a one-way trip.

Therefore, Whitebeard Edward Newgate plans to personally meet Ace and Uchiha Sasuke to see just how formidable these two brats are.

"They are indeed two remarkable brats..."

Whitebeard glanced at the newspaper in his hand again, unable to resist grinning, "Gurararara... Compared to that brat Sand Crocodile I met last time, these two have much more energy!"

"Last time..."

Marco’s eyelids couldn’t help but flip: "It’s been over a decade since we last encountered that Crocodile, right?"

Marco pondered for a moment before leisurely speaking, "Since Crocodile became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he no longer has the guts to come to the New World, I heard he’s living comfortably in Alabasta..."

This statement is indeed accurate.

Crocodile is indeed living very comfortably.

Even more comfortably than Marco imagined.

Currently, Crocodile is entirely submerged in water, unable to move, glaring angrily at Hoshigaki Kisame who was sitting in his position.

Hoshigaki Kisame grinned and slowly spoke, "Is this all the ability of a Seven Warlord of the Sea? Seems like I’ve chosen the wrong ally!"

"What exactly is your goal?"

Crocodile glared furiously at Hoshigaki Kisame.

Originally, Crocodile only wanted to discuss with Kisame how to replace Jinbe as one of the Seven Warlords, but ended up beaten by Kisame under the pretext of testing an ally’s strength.

Facing an opponent like Kisame who excels in Water Release and Haki, Crocodile’s Sand-Sand Fruit abilities were completely suppressed, leaving Sand Crocodile without any strength to retaliate!

"Tsk..."

Hoshigaki Kisame endeavored to show a friendly smile, but still appeared menacing: "This is truly dull, I merely wanted to find an ally, but now it seems Mr. Crocodile is not qualified to be my ally!"

Hoshigaki Kisame leisurely stood up, chuckling, "From today onwards, I announce my resignation from Baroque Works, I hope you all can clear this up!"

After saying this, Kisame continued, "Oh, by the way, the things I’ve done might hinder my attempt to become a Seven Warlord of the Sea... so I hope the boss of Baroque Works can handle those matters, alright?"

"Hmph, I agree."

Crocodile gritted his teeth and said, "I will have Nico Robin issue a statement in the newspaper that you’ve defected from Baroque Works!"

"Haha, then I hope we’ll meet again someday."

Hoshigaki Kisame grabbed his Shark Skin Greatsword and placed it on his back, leaving Rainy Land without any reluctance.

Originally, Kisame’s role within Baroque Works was to take the blame for Uehara Naraku in front of Crocodile, now that Uehara Naraku is about to become a Navy undercover, Kisame no longer needs to stay here.

Once Hoshigaki Kisame had left.

Crocodile turned to Nico Robin who was hiding by the side, with a grim expression he spoke, "Nico Robin, you won’t betray me too, will you?"

"No."

Nico Robin shook her head, laughing, "I am merely interested in the Poneglyphs, whoever can show me the truth of history..."

"Then hurry up!"

Crocodile suddenly struggled out of the water, gritting his teeth, "I can’t wait any longer, we must start the plan soon! I want to know Pluto’s intelligence, then kill all these bastards!"

"Okay."

Nico Robin nodded and continued, "However, our advanced agents are being frantically hunted by a bounty hunter named Kakuzu...

Along our journey to Rainy Land, the Mr. 1 and Mr. 3 teams have gone missing, Mr. 2 has been captured by the Navy, and in addition to the previous killings of Mr. 5 and Mr. 4 teams..."

"Then get another batch!"

After speaking, Crocodile changed his mind: "Wait, how many people are left in Baroque Works now?"

"Sasori, Deidara..."

Nico Robin checked the headcount and then paused for a second in silence before continuing, "Only two advanced agents remain, there are still quite a few intermediate agents."

At this point, Nico Robin quickly added, "Among them, there is one named Uehara Naraku who followed me all the way. I found him to be a rather loyal person.

Hmm, his strength may not be enough, but his bounty has risen to 60 million Belly due to the work of the company, perhaps he could be considered for promotion to an advanced agent..."

"Alright!"

Crocodile spoke with a gloomy face, instructing, "To prevent someone like Hoshigaki Kisame from infiltrating again, don’t hire any more people for now, keep things as they are!"

"..."

Nico Robin nodded.

If Crocodile refused Uehara Naraku’s promotion to an advanced agent again, Nico Robin would think Crocodile was too comfortable...

Fortunately, he is still salvageable.

Who knows if Uehara Naraku would be happy to hear this news.

Uehara Naraku was too busy to care about Nico Robin, as he rushed back from visiting a bunch of scenic spots, preparing to deal with the meeting with Vice Admiral Drake.

When Vice Admiral Drake saw Uehara Naraku, he happened to see Uehara Naraku rescuing a kid being hunted by pirates, a scene that felt very familiar to him.

Because back in the day, when Drake was hunted by the Donquixote Family, he was rescued by the Navy, which led to the Drake he is today.

Vice Admiral Drake looked at this scene and felt a sense of empathy.

Vice Admiral Drake silently watched Uehara Naraku comfort the kid with a candy, his sharp gaze gradually softened.

As a Fruit Power user of the Dragon-Dragon Fruit·Ancient·Allosaurus Form, usually fierce on the battlefield, Vice Admiral Drake’s mood at this moment turned unexpectedly gentle.

"Kabuto."

Vice Admiral Drake’s eyes remained fixated on Uehara Naraku, "Do you see that? The Navy is the perfect home for Uehara Naraku..."

"Yes..."

Navy Major Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses, smiling, "I share your opinion, I believe the same."
