Hearing the news about his hometown East Blue, Garp couldnât sit still.
Just as he was about to leave Marineford and rush back to the East Blue, Sengoku stopped him, âHey, Garp, donât hurt one of the little guys called Uehara. We may be able to get information from him!â
ââŠâ
Aokijiâs eyelids couldnât help but tremble.
âWait, how did Uehara get here? It has only been a few days; how did his reputation get here?â
âOh, Uehara?â
Garp heard this familiar name and scratched his head. He thought for a while and suddenly said, âIsnât that the very dangerous little guy?â
ââŠâ
Aokiji sighed.
âAs expected of Vice-Admiral Garp, he has grasped the key point!â
Unfortunately, this time, Sengoku, the Fleet Admiral, dragged Garp down.
Sengoku shook his head and said, âCaptain Hina reported that the little guy seemed to be afraid of the boss behind the Baroque Works and had to do bad things.
In fact, according to what we know, he saved a lot of lives in private. In short, you should catch him first! Maybe we can get the real identity of the Baroque Works boss working behind the scenes from him.
At this stage.
The marine constantly received bad news.
The only news that could make the marine feel a little relieved was that there was another bounty hunter named Kakuzu in the sea, and he was very strong.
Moreover, his attitude towards the marine was very friendly, while his attitude towards the pirates was the opposite. He had killed many pirates with high rewards and exchanged their bodies for money in the marine base.
There were many bounty hunters like this in the sea.
In order to make use of these bounty hunters, the marine directly issued a large number of new wanted posters. Anyone who saw this bounty would be absolutely tempted!
For example, Sasuke defeated an Admiral and even sank some part of Sabaody Archipelago directly, causing his bounty to soar along with Ace!
Spade Pirate Captain, Portgas D. Ace, 950,000,000 Beli!
Ace and Sasuke, these two people who just went out to sea this year, became the most powerful supernova in this era and once attracted the attention of the entire sea.
Even the new worldâs Yonko(Four Emperors) were interested in them.
The Spade Pirate.
Portgas D. Ace, who was only seventeen years old this year, saw his super high bounty, and his face smiled like a flower.
Ace turned his head and shouted at Sasuke, who was standing on the bow, âHey, Sasuke, letâs hold a banquet! Letâs celebrate our bounty breaking through 900 million!â
âIdiot!â
Sasuke couldnât help but hold his forehead and curse, âThe higher the bounty the marine gives us, the more dangerous we will be. Those bastards who risk their lives for money wonât let us newcomers goâŠâ
âDonât say that!â
Ace jumped to his side, then he laughed and said, âHahaha! In any case, the situation has already become like this. Thereâs no way to change it. Hahahaha⊠Letâs just hold a banquet to celebrate!â
âThen go and prepare!â
Sasuke slowly nodded.
After hearing that their vice-captain agreed to hold a banquet, the entire Spade Pirates instantly cheered. Ace flew to the deck and shouted for the chefs on the ship to prepare a banquet. He and the others went to carry the wine.
Sasuke looked at the pirates who had fallen into joy, and his mouth couldnât help but reveal a smile, but the sound of a Den Den Mushi disrupted his mood!
Bulu, pulu, pulu!
Bulu, pulu, pulu!
Sasuke took out his Den Den Mushi and looked at the image on the Den Den Mushi. He couldnât help but want to pinch the Den Den Mushi in his hand to death!
âThis bastard? Donât tell me he has his eyes on me!â
After Sasuke accepted the Den Den Den Mushi call, a gloomy look appeared on his face. He then asked in a low voice, âHey, Kakuzu? Why do you want to contact me? I remember that you can only contact me unless something important happens, right?â
âNow is the time to get in touch.â
Kakuzu was still calm when he spoke, and his voice still sounded cold, âSasuke? I havenât seen you for a while. I want to see youâŠâ
âBastard!â
Sasuke directly hung up the Den Den Mushi.
âDamn, he knew!â
âWhen this bastard saw that his and Aceâs bounty was above 900 million Beli, he would definitely want to capture them and give them to the Marine, or at least catch Ace!â
âThat guy only knows how to make money!â
On the other side.
Kakuzu looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand and couldnât help but frown, âIs it inconvenient for Sasuke to talk over there?â
Kakuzu shook his head and looked at the wanted poster in his hand.
In addition to Sasuke and Aceâs wanted poster, many new wanted posters were behind them. Among them, there were a few people Kakuzu knew.
The Vice-President of Baroque Works, Devil Child Nico Robin, 120,000,000 Beli, Dead or Alive!
Baroque Works, Fish-Men Hoshigaki Kisame, 150,000,000 Beli, Dead or Alive!
Baroque Works, Intermediate agent Uehara Naraku, 30,000,000 Beli, Only Alive!
After thinking for a while, Kakuzu dialed another personâs Den Den Mushi and asked, âNico Robin, where are you now⊠Are Uehara and Kisame also by your side? We want to see you on somethingâŠâ
ââŠâŠâ
Near ocean-going restaurant Baratie.
Nico Robin sat on the guardrail of the warship and hung up the Den Den Mushi in her hand. She couldnât help rubbing her forehead and said, âMr. Kakuzu said that he hopes to meet us. He will send us to the marine and let us escapeâŠâ
âIgnore him.â
Uehara took a sip of his fruit juice.
âHeheâŠâ
Kisame looked at his bounty and couldnât help but grin, revealing a mouthful of shark teeth, âFor us, the higher the bounty, the more troublesome it isâŠâ
The main thing was to be careful of Kakuzu.
This guy really didnât hesitate to use any means to earn money.
Bulu, pulu, puluâŠ
Bulu, pulu, puluâŠ
At this time, the Den Den Mushi in Nico Robinâs hand rang again. Crocodile, the president of Baroque Works, finally called, âNico Robin, are you the only one there?â
âYesâŠâ
Nico Robin looked at Uehara and Kisame, who were present, and slowly responded, âDoes the president have any orders?â
Crocodileâs voice suddenly became louder, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his voice, âYou seem to have made a lot of noise. The marine is searching for Baroque Works members everywhere⊠Whatâs the situation now?â
âThere is a small problem.â
âWhat is the problem?â
There was a hint of coldness in Crocodileâs voice, âOur plan to annex Alabasta hasnât started; yet the Baroque Works have been exposed. Nico Robin, what is going on?â
After a moment of silence, Nico Robin looked at Uehara and Kisame and whispered, âIt was my mistake this time. I recruited a member with some problems in his mind, which led to this situationâŠâ
After that, Nico Robin thought for a while and explained softly, âKisame, who we recruited, is not satisfied with the fact that he can only stay in Whiskey Peak. What he wants to do is to become a pirate and become famous for himself.
I think he probably thinks that Baroque Works is very strong. He wants to use the Baroque Worksâ power to go back to Fishman Island and fight with another Shichibukai for the leadership of the Fishman Pirates. I have found him and have been waiting for an opportunity to get rid of him! â
ââŠâ
After a moment of silence, Crocodile suddenly said, âIt seems that we accidentally caught a big fish!â
Crocodile smiled and said coldly, âDonât get rid of him. If he really has the power to defeat Jinbe, I can even secretly help him succeed the Shichibukaiâs position!â
âHuh?â
After a moment of surprise, Nico Robin hurriedly said, âThis is not in line with our plan. That Kisame is too active, and it is easy to attract the attention of the marine. Now my bounty has been updated twice by the marine!â
âIt doesnât matter!â
Crocodile interrupted Nico Robin coldly and continued, âAs I said, the people of Baroque Works are just disposable tools we use. As long as my identity is not revealed, nothing else matters!â
âMr. CrocodileâŠâ
Nico Robinâs voice slowly lowered, and there was a hint of bewitchment in her voice, âDonât you want to get Pluton? If the marine noticesâŠâ
âOnly a child will make a choice!â
There was a trace of impatience in Crocodileâs voice, âAnd now, the Baroque Works has attracted the attention of the marine because of that bastard. This matter has become a foregone conclusion, so we have to find a way to create something even more eye-catching!â
Crocodileâs voice gradually became louder, âWhen we implement the plan in the future,
When everyone was paying attention to the Shichibukai replacement, I already got the hidden ancient weapon in Alabasta!â
Crocodile hung up the Den Den Mushi.
Nico Robin fell into silence.
Kisame and Uehara looked at each other. They didnât expect that Crocodile really had a brain and wanted to could use Kisame.
However, all of this was fake!
All of this was made up by Nico Robin to deceive him!
âI really envy Mr. Crocodileâs confidence!â
Uehara took a deep breath and sighed faintly, âAs the mastermind behind the scenes, I feel like Iâm walking on thin ice every dayâŠâ
ââŠâ
Nico Robin was silent.
With all due respect, she really did not notice this point.
Uehara took a sip of juice and continued, âEvery day, I was afraid that I would expose myself and be forced to rule the worldâŠâ
ââŠâ
Nico Robin became even more silent.
Other people only become the mastermind behind the scenes to rule the world⊠How come when on your side, it becomes the opposite?
