Chapter 397 - My Perfect Performance Was Seen Through?
Aokiji’s eyes slightly trembled.
If he wasn’t wrong just now, Uehara was definitely using an ice ability, not the lower level Yuki Yuki no Mi(Snow-Snow Fruit), but the pure freezing ability.
But

He, Admiral Aokiji, was the one with the Hie Hie no Mi(Ice-Ice Fruit)!
This guy Uehara used the ice ability in front of him, what is his ability? Is it to copy Devil Fruit’s ability

“Don’t you like it?”
The smile on Uehara’s face was still kind. He looked at the Admiral in front of him and continued with a smile, “Because this place is too rudimentary, I hope Mr. Kuzan will forgive me if there is a place where hospitality is not well received
”
“No.”
Aokiji shook his head and calmly said, “To clear up the entire island and create such a luxurious duel arena to welcome me is really too extravagant
”
“Hahahaha
”
Uehara smiled and waved his hand, then continued with a serious face, “Don’t blame me. You are an Admiral so this kind of place is worthy of your identity!”
This sentence made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Uehara was obviously praising Aokiji’s identity, but his tone sounded like a superior looking at a child.
After Uehara finished speaking, he spread out his palm and introduced the arena, “This is the battlefield that I painstakingly created yesterday, it can definitely let Mr. Kuzan display his full strength here
”
“You really put in a lot of effort
”
Aokiji slowly tilted his head and his eyes moved to Nico Robin who was next to him, “There seems to be something wrong with the information. I thought that Miss Robin was your superior. Now it seems that she has joined another organization
”
“
”
Nico Robin’s forehead showed a few drops of cold sweat.
Because of the fear and shadow of Aokiji, the enemy who made her fall to this point when Nico Robin was just eight years old, could not be eliminated in a short time.
Nico Robin’s expression gradually became more and more ugly. She whispered, “Why are you here
 Are you here to kill me?”
“That’s should be it.”
Aokiji slowly nodded and continued softly, “After all, as Ohara’s last archaeologist, you are too dangerous for this world
”
After saying that, Aokiji slowly moved his eyes from Robin to Uehara, “It seems that you have joined a more dangerous organization. In this way, I can’t let you go
”
“Don’t say that.”
Uehara picked up a glass of juice from the stone table and slowly took a sip. He then whispered, “We are a peace organization dedicated to mediating wars in the world. No one desires world peace more than us
”
Aokiji, “
”
A person who just killed the king of the Drum Kingdom is sitting here. He also intends to challenge the Admiral and you were telling me that you were a peace organization?
Kisame and Nico Robin’s expressions were also a little strange.
After seeing their expressions, Uehara seemed to have come to his senses again. He quickly changed his words and said, “I’m sorry, I just blurted it out
 Anyway, Mr. Kuzan only needs to know that our hearts are actually righteous and bright.”
“You are not like this kind of people at all!”
Aokiji’s eyelids trembled. He reached out to hold the cup of ice water and drink it, “Instead, you look like conspirators
 From your eyes, I don’t see any justice!”
“That is because we are pretending to be bad people.”
Uehara casually explained, “We are now a special agent in Baroque Works. These Baroque Works is a criminal organization. The boss of this organization is not a good thing, so we have to follow the boss’s steps!”
Nico Robin, “
”
If Crocodile knew what was going on.
He will really fight you to death!
“What do you mean?”
Aokiji frowned slightly and looked at Uehara strangely, “Can you say it a little slower? I don’t quite understand what you mean
 So, who is the boss of this Baroque Working?”
“Shichibukai, Crocodile.”
Uehara casually revealed Crocodile’s identity to Aokiji and looked at the Admiral in front of him; but when Aokiji heard Crocodile’s name, his expression didn’t change at all.
Obviously, this Admiral didn’t take his Shichibukai, seriously.
Uehara immediately frowned and said in a deep voice, “Hey, why do you have this expression, be a little more serious!”
As Uehara spoke, he became excited, “That is Shichibukai Crocodile with a reward of 81,000,000 Beli. When he was young, he was only defeated by the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard!”
Uehara clenched his fist and became more and more excited, “If there are people in this world who can reach Raftel and become the second pirate king in the world, then it must be Mr. Crocodile!”
This sentence was really like a minion who was loyal to Crocodile, even if Crocodile was here, he would not be able to find anything wrong.
At this moment, Uehara felt that an actor possessed him.
Unfortunately, his courage and strength were not in line with his acting skills.
A man who wanted to challenge an Admiral actually said that he was a subordinate of a Shichibukai?
This guy was too fake!
Aokiji looked at Uehara’s performance with a blank expression.
If he hadn’t seen Crocodile and did not see Uehara’s action just now, Aokiji might have really wanted to convince himself to be a little lazy and simply believed Uehara’s nonsense.
This Admiral helplessly touched his forehead and said, “Sir
 Did you graduate from a drama school? No, it should be said that your acting skill is not enough to act in a drama! From your eyes, I can’t see any respect for Crocodile!”
“Are you questioning my loyalty to Mr. Crocodile?”
There was a flash of anger on Uehara’s face, and his fists gradually tightened, “In this world, no one respects Mr. Crocodile more than I do!”
“Hey, hey, hey
”
Aokiji looked at Uehara like this and felt a little out of sight.
Aokiji couldn’t help but rub his eyebrows and said, “That’s enough! You look so lawless
 Is there really someone who dares to be your superior?”
“
”
Everyone was silent.
The anger on Uehara’s face gradually dissipated, and he regained his smile, “Hahaha, it seems that the Admiral’s IQ is not as low as I thought
 Really, he can see through my perfect performance!”
“Your acting is too bad!”
Aokiji couldn’t help but complain, he stretched out his palm and gestured to the arena, “If the two of us met in the sea and you were on a small pirate ship, maybe I might believe you
”
He was a Marine Admiral!
No matter what pirates they were, they would never let their guard down when they saw him, not to mention that this was the first half of the Grand Line!
In the first half of the Grand Line, any pirate would be afraid of the pursuit of an Admiral; but the Uehara in front of him clearly knew his identity and strength, but he still set up a super luxurious arena here!
“That’s enough chit-chat
”
Aokiji slowly put down his hand and his face was dark, “Now can you tell me your real identity? Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your life
”
At this moment, the momentum of Aokiji suddenly changed.
A chill spread out from his body, making the people present feel the temperature in the air drop in an instant.
Aokiji’s momentum was so strong that it was almost suffocating. At this moment, he temporarily put down his laziness and completely displayed the might of an Admiral.
Kisame’s face couldn’t help but change.
Nico Robin was scared to the point of collapse!
“Ha
 As expected of an Admiral, it’s really scary!”
As Uehara spoke, the smile on his face didn’t diminish. He even slowly continued to suck a mouthful of juice.
Uehara’s slightly mocking words and actions made Aokiji think of another colleague with a slightly bad character.
“You
 You are as bad as Borsalino!”
Aokiji couldn’t help but pat his forehead, then his expression became serious again, “I don’t want to waste time with you ambiguous guys
”
“Then let’s start!”
Uehara grabbed his juice and leaned lazily against the stone chair.
The next moment, Uehara’s face suddenly became a bit crazy, “Please show your strength in front of me, let me see how strong the Marine Admiral is!”
If your strength is not enough, you will no longer have the qualifications to stand in front of me. I will make your body into a work of art!
After saying this, Uehara’s expression suddenly changed. His mouth slightly curved, revealing a kind smile, “If your strength can make me a little happy, I don’t mind telling you our true identity
”
Uehara sat up straight again and put his palm on the table. The smile on his face was very mysterious, “It’s as beautiful as the sunrise; it can bring hope to this world
”
Aokiji was confused by what Uehara said

But Aokiji really felt that he was talking about something extraordinary!
Aokiji’s expression gradually became more and more serious, the cold temperature coming out from his body was getting lower and lower, and even the chair was covered with a layer of frost!
“Go, Kisame!”
Uehara waved at the tall Fish-Men beside him and loudly said, “Let our Mr. Admiral give you a little guidance, and let me see the power you have now
”
“Yes, Uehara-sama.”
Kisame grinned, revealing his mouth full of shark teeth. He slowly pulled out Samehada from his back, and Busoshoku Haki(Armament Haki) quickly wrapped around it.
Samehada quickly became dark!
This scene made Aokiji’s eyes slightly surprised.
In the sea, Busoshoku Haki(Armament Haki) was not a strange thing.
However, in the first half of the Grand Line, there were very few pirates who could use Busoshoku Haki(Armament Haki) and directly put it on the weapon.
Many pirates in the first half of the Grand Line may have never heard of Haki.
Such a character

Now, there was only a 15 million bounty!
Even a hundred and fifty million was not enough!
What was even more ironic was that this kind of person was only a subordinate of Uehara, and Uehara only had a bounty of eight million.
These guys

He really hid it well!
“Please!”
Kisame grinned and invited Kuzan to go to the arena. The smile on his face gradually became ferocious, “According to Uehara-sama’s wishes, the only rule in his arena is that there are no rules!”
“It seems that I have really been underestimated!”
Aokiji couldn’t help but scratch his head and follow Kisame to the wide arena. He couldn’t help but whisper, “Is your strength too strong? Or are you underestimating the strength of others?”
“You are really too confident!”
Kisame couldn’t help but look at Aokiji. The smile on his face was still fierce and ferocious, “I won’t underestimate the strength of anyone
 But Uehara-sama is different
 No matter how much he underestimates you, it is also an appreciation for you!”
