Multiverse Mastermind: Starting in Naruto-Chapter 513 - 417: Ace: My Vice Captain Doesn’t Like You, So Let’s Go to War!
The port of Windmill Village.
Uehara Naraku’s warship slowly sailed away from this port.
Standing on the warship, Uehara Naraku gazed at the receding Windmill Village and spoke softly, "From this moment on, the gears of fate will be in my control."
"Hehe..."
Hoshigaki Kisame, having just thrown Dadan into the ship’s dungeon, couldn’t help but chuckle at Uehara Naraku’s words, "Isn’t fate, this illusory thing, always under Mr. Naraku’s control?"
Nico Robin silently glanced at the two of them.
The way they flatter and echo each other is indeed quite practiced!
"Hey, that’s enough,"
Uehara Naraku humbly shook his head, a smile appearing on his face as he softly instructed, "Miss Robin, find a way to spread the news of a Baroque Works attack on Monkey D. Garp’s hometown throughout the East Sea and the Grand Line!"
"Yes."
Nico Robin slowly nodded.
Uehara Naraku stretched and continued to supplement his orders, "Starting tomorrow, have Sasori and Deidara work with Kakuzu to eliminate all of Baroque Works’ advanced agents, leaving a few alive to leak the news that Crocodile is the boss of Baroque Works!"
"Yes."
Nico Robin mourned silently for Crocodile for a second.
From now on, that Sand Crocodile will never have a moment of peace and will become a pawn they can discard at any time.
Nico Robin then dialed the Radio Snails for both Sasori and Kakuzu, coordinating them to hunt and capture those associated with Baroque Works.
Sasori of the Red Sand expressed his willingness to cooperate at any time.
Only Kakuzu, upon hearing the news, spoke in a gravelly voice that startled Robin, "I understand. Leave this matter to me! I will soon capture all Baroque Works members in your current location..."
"..."
Nico Robin fell silent for a second.
She vaguely sensed that Kakuzu might be planning to capture her and Hoshigaki Kisame for the bounty as well.
Nico Robin sighed and softly said, "Mr. Kakuzu, don’t play word games. You should know what Mr. Naraku means..."
"Hmm."
Kakuzu’s cold voice carried a hint of regret, "You really don’t want to cooperate with me? That’s a bounty over two hundred million Bellies!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"..."
Nico Robin silently hung up the Radio Snail.
Is Kakuzu really only focused on money?
Uehara Naraku, hearing this, couldn’t help but rub his forehead, feeling a headache for Kakuzu’s stinginess. He sighed and continued to assess his gains.
This time he has reaped substantial rewards in Windmill Village.
Side Quest: Wear the Pirate King’s Straw Hat (1/1), task completed, rewarded with 100,000 Life Energy, 100,000 points in Armament Haki, 100,000 points in Observation Haki, and an upgrade in Supreme King Haki.
So...
Windmill Village truly is the Newbie Village!
Just wearing that straw hat equates to holding a pass to becoming a world power!
As of now...
Uehara Naraku’s Supreme King Haki intensity is known as the pinnacle.
Side Quest: Defeat Monkey D. Luffy (1/1), task completed, awarded a Summoning Contracted Bio Demon.
Summoning Contracted Bio Demon: Can summon Biochemical Demon Zaku for battle, consuming 3,000 Life Energy points.
This reward seems a bit lackluster.
However, given Zaku’s physique, it might be used to bully Luffy in the future?
Side Quest: Squeeze Monkey D. Luffy’s rubbery face, task completed, rewarded with 10,000 Life Energy points, 10,000 points in Armament Haki, 10,000 points in Observation Haki.
These are the rewards obtained in Windmill Village.
Half a month later.
Vice Admiral Garp and Colonel Tina’s warship arrived late at the already plundered Windmill Village. Fortunately, there were no major casualties.
They weren’t the first to arrive.
But Garp held the highest rank here.
Garp and Colonel Tina thoroughly questioned the villagers who had encountered Baroque Works, and finally learned part of the hidden truth of Windmill Village’s plundering from Makino.
This so-called hidden truth...
Anyway, Uehara Naraku’s people had already left, but Uehara’s benevolent image remained in Makino and Luffy’s hearts.
After listening to the so-called hidden truth for a while, Tina, biting a cigarette at the corner of her mouth, was lost in melancholy: "So it was Uehara Naraku who provided the Navy intelligence and saved Vice Admiral Garp’s grandson?"
"That kid doesn’t sound too bad..."
Garp’s brows furrowed as he continued slowly, "Although there still seems to be something off, that guy did save Luffy, this reckless boy. Otherwise, the Navy might end up losing a future admiral!"
"Hey, Grandpa!"
Luffy sat at the tavern bar, yelling discontentedly, "I don’t want to be in the Navy, I want to become the Pirate King!"
"You brat!"
Garp grabbed Luffy by the collar and punched him, sending his grandson flying, "You’ve been too corrupted by Red Hair!"
This was the grandfather and grandson bonding.
Colonel Tina didn’t bother looking, focusing instead on Makino, continuing to inquire about Uehara Naraku, as this was specifically instructed by Navy Admiral Sengoku!
Marshal Sengoku wanted to try and develop Uehara Naraku as an internal line within the Navy!
"Hmm."
Makino nodded slightly and continued in a low voice: "Mr. Naraku mentioned during his chat with Luffy that he once wanted to join the Navy to protect the weak, but unfortunately he’s now joined Baroque Works, a pirate organization, and has no chance of joining the Navy."
Upon saying this, a hint of worry appeared on Makino’s face, and the kind-hearted tavern owner said softly: "Mr. Uehara must have inadvertently joined Baroque Works, but he also saved many innocent people."
After speaking, Makino told Colonel Tina all about their interactions with Uehara, leaving the beautiful Navy colonel feeling some regret.
Such a good person...
Forced to join Baroque Works?
It’s hard to know what Uehara Naraku’s past is...
If that guy really joined the Navy as he dreamed, maybe his rank could have reached Major by now?
Is this destiny...
Therefore, when Colonel Tina reported this matter to Marshal Sengoku, she didn’t forget to emphasize Uehara Naraku’s contributions.
"You don’t need to worry about this."
After learning of this information, Navy Admiral Sengoku instructed sternly: "From now on, just act like we’ve never had contact with Uehara Naraku, do not reveal any of his information!"
"But..."
"Follow orders!"
Sengoku the Buddha hung up Tina’s Radio Snail and dialed another person’s Radio Snail: "Hello, Vice Admiral X·Drake, how is the SWORD secret unit that I recently authorized you to infiltrate the pirates?"
After hearing the reply from the other side, Sengoku spoke in a muffled voice: "There’s no need to be anxious, but I have a pretty good candidate here, no, a very suitable candidate you might try to contact..."
Sengoku’s mustache twitched as he softly spoke the name to the person on the other side of the Radio Snail: "Now that person is in Baroque Works, named Uehara Naraku, although in a criminal organization, he’s executing his justice in his own way!"
Just as Sengoku was chatting with Vice Admiral Drake on the other side of the Radio Snail, another Radio Snail in the office also rang.
The Navy Admiral’s face showed a touch of anger as he answered the other Radio Snail and was shaken by the voice coming through, making his ears hurt!
"Admiral, something terrible happened!"
The Navy officer on the other side hurriedly reported in an anxious tone: "The Black Spade Pirates just arrived in Dressrosa and declared war against the Seven Warlords of the Sea Doflamingo and his Donquixote Pirates!"
"What!"
After a moment of shock, the Navy Admiral quickly regained composure: "That Ace is indeed a restless fellow! Much worse than that bastard Roger... Keep monitoring, report the battle status at all times!"
"Yes!"
The Navy voice still carried inevitable panic.
Grand Line.
New World, Dressrosa Royal Palace.
Doflamingo, Ace, and Uchiha Sasuke stood on the high ground of Dressrosa’s palace, the three confronting each other.
On the ground were a group of Donquixote family officers.
To be honest, Doflamingo knew of Uchiha Sasuke’s might, and he really didn’t want to provoke Ace and Uchiha Sasuke, the two super rookies.
If possible, Doflamingo wanted to recruit them as allies, after all, their strength is quite formidable.
Unfortunately...
As Doflamingo privately held a banquet to meet Ace and Uchiha Sasuke, Portgas D. Ace declared war on the Donquixote family at the banquet!
Everyone was eating happily...
Why suddenly declare war!
"Because Sasuke said he disliked this country."
Portgas D. Ace’s reasoning was quite odd, making the Donquixote family find it hard to accept: "My vice captain is unhappy, yet you’re laughing happily, this should be a provocation to the Black Spade Pirates!"
"Ace, you idiot!"
Uchiha Sasuke didn’t even know what to say.
Sasuke plainly expressed to Ace that he didn’t like Donquixote family nor the passionate Dressrosa kingdom...
The real reason was Uchiha Sasuke wanted to leave a pre-impression on Ace’s mind, so he could find an excuse to fight in the future without Ace opposing... didn’t expect Ace to directly use his vice captain’s unhappiness as the reason for war!
This idiot, really left Sasuke speechless!
This is great now...
The two of them started fighting right in their home!
They just finished a round of Supreme King Haki competition, the entire banquet hall was directly razed by their Haki duel, the battle area was set inside the palace.
Facing Ace and Sasuke, who both possessed Supreme King Haki, Doflamingo naturally felt out of depth, even Uchiha Sasuke’s Supreme King Haki alone made Doflamingo unable to contend!
"Fufufufufu..."
Doflamingo looked at the two opposite, grinning nastily and praised: "Speaking just of Haki, truly two horrifying super rookies..."
"Don’t put on the senior airs in front of us."
Uchiha Sasuke pulled out the Supreme Great Blade he acquired in this world, pointed at Doflamingo, eyes indifferent: "Doflamingo, what I hate most are those like you who are inferior yet love to posture..."
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Ace couldn’t help but scratch the back of his head and laughed: "But Sasuke, aren’t you the one who loves playing cool most on our ship?"
"Shut up! We’re fighting!"
Uchiha Sasuke’s face showed a flash of anger, scaring his captain into hurriedly covering his mouth and stepping back a few steps.
Uchiha Sasuke couldn’t help but rub his forehead...
This idiot captain, really makes people worried!
