Hearing the news about his hometown East Blue, Garp couldn't sit still.
Just as he was about to leave Marineford and rush back to the East Blue, Sengoku stopped him, "Hey, Garp, don't hurt one of the little guys called Uehara. We may be able to get information from him!"
"..."
Aokiji's eyelids couldn't help but tremble.
'Wait, how did Uehara get here? It has only been a few days; how did his reputation get here?'
"Oh, Uehara?"
Garp heard this familiar name and scratched his head. He thought for a while and suddenly said, "Isn't that the very dangerous little guy?"
"..."
Aokiji sighed.
'As expected of Vice-Admiral Garp, he has grasped the key point!'
Unfortunately, this time, Sengoku, the Fleet Admiral, dragged Garp down.
Sengoku shook his head and said, "Captain 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!
Spade Pirate Vice Captain, Uchiha Sasuke, 920,000,000 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 world's 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, "Hey, Sasuke, let's hold a banquet! Let's celebrate our bounty breaking through 900 million!"
"Idiot!"
Sasuke couldn't help but hold his forehead and curse, "The higher the bounty the marine gives us, the more dangerous we will be. Those bastards who risk their lives for money won't let us newcomers go..."
"Don't say that!"
Ace jumped to his side, then he laughed and said, "Hahaha! In any case, the situation has already become like this. There's no way to change it. Hahahaha... Let's just hold a banquet to celebrate!"
"Then go and prepare!"
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 couldn't 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 couldn't help but want to pinch the Den Den Mushi in his hand to death!
"This bastard? Don't tell me he has his eyes on me!"
After Sasuke accepted the Den Den Den Mushi call, a gloomy look appeared on his face. He then asked in a low voice, "Hey, Kakuzu? Why do you want to contact me? I remember that you can only contact me unless something important happens, right?"
"Now is the time to get in touch."
Kakuzu was still calm when he spoke, and his voice still sounded cold, "Sasuke? I haven't seen you for a while. I want to see you..."
"Bastard!"
Sasuke directly hung up the Den Den Mushi.
'Damn, he knew!'
'When this bastard saw that his and Ace's bounty was above 900 million Beli, he would definitely want to capture them and give them to the Marine, or at least catch Ace!'
'That guy only knows how to make money!'
On the other side.
Kakuzu looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand and couldn't help but frown, "Is it inconvenient for Sasuke to talk over there?"
Kakuzu shook his head and looked at the wanted poster in his hand.
In addition to Sasuke and Ace's 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 person's Den Den Mushi and asked, "Nico Robin, where are you now... Are Uehara and Kisame also by your side? We want to see you on something..."
"..."
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 couldn't help rubbing her forehead and said, "Mr. Kakuzu said that he hopes to meet us. He will send us to the marine and let us escape..."
"Ignore him."
Uehara took a sip of his fruit juice.
"Hehe..."
Kisame looked at his bounty and couldn't help but grin, revealing a mouthful of shark teeth, "For us, the higher the bounty, the more troublesome it is..."
The main thing was to be careful of Kakuzu.
This guy really didn't hesitate to use any means to earn money.
Bulu, pulu, pulu...
Bulu, pulu, pulu...
At this time, the Den Den Mushi in Nico Robin's hand rang again. Crocodile, the president of Baroque Works, finally called, "Nico Robin, are you the only one there?"
"Yes..."
Nico Robin looked at Uehara and Kisame, who were present, and slowly responded, "Does the president have any orders?"
Crocodile's voice suddenly became louder, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his voice, "You seem to have made a lot of noise. The marine is searching for Baroque Works members everywhere... What's the situation now?"
"There is a small problem."
"What is the problem?"
There was a hint of coldness in Crocodile's voice, "Our plan to annex Alabasta hasn't started; yet the Baroque Works have been exposed. Nico Robin, what is going on?"
After a moment of silence, Nico Robin looked at Uehara and Kisame and whispered, "It was my mistake this time. I recruited a member with some problems in his mind, which led to this situation..."
After that, Nico Robin thought for a while and explained softly, "Kisame, 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 Works' 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! "
"..."
After a moment of silence, Crocodile suddenly said, "It seems that we accidentally caught a big fish!"
Crocodile smiled and said coldly, "Don't get rid of him. If he really has the power to defeat Jinbe, I can even secretly help him succeed the Shichibukai's position!"
"Huh?"
After a moment of surprise, Nico Robin hurriedly said, "This 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!"
"It doesn't matter!"
Crocodile interrupted Nico Robin coldly and continued, "As I said, the people of Baroque Works are just disposable tools we use. As long as my identity is not revealed, nothing else matters!"
"Mr. Crocodile..."
Nico Robin's voice slowly lowered, and there was a hint of bewitchment in her voice, "Don't you want to get Pluton? If the marine notices..."
"Only a child will make a choice!"
There was a trace of impatience in Crocodile's voice, "And 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!"
Crocodile's voice gradually became louder, "When 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!"
Crocodile hung up the Den Den Mushi.
Nico Robin fell into silence.
Kisame and Uehara looked at each other. They didn't 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!
"I really envy Mr. Crocodile's confidence!"
Uehara took a deep breath and sighed faintly, "As the mastermind behind the scenes, I feel like I'm walking on thin ice every day..."
"..."
Nico Robin was silent.
With all due respect, she really did not notice this point.
Uehara took a sip of juice and continued, "Every day, I was afraid that I would expose myself and be forced to rule the world..."
"..."
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?
Was your order wrong?
