Multiverse Mastermind: Starting in Naruto-Chapter 551 - 448: If Your Strength Is Too Weak, I Might Not Remember You
Within the CP9 department directly under the World Government.
Rob Lucci’s strength is the most powerful among all the agents.
He is hailed as the most formidable agent in the entire CP9 for the past eight hundred years and is considered the most ruthless killing machine in history, practicing a dark form of justice, seemingly having long lost human emotions.
It’s a bit of a pity...
As a killing machine that lost human emotions, Rob Lucci’s power still remains within the realm of humanity.
"You, this guy..."
Rob Lucci desperately tried to turn his neck to glance at Uehara Naraku standing behind him, but the hand on top of his head rendered him immobile!
"Since you want to turn your head, I’ll give you a hand then!
A sudden trace of coldness flashed across Uehara Naraku’s face, and in the next moment, his hand twisted Rob Lucci’s head, making it present at an eerie angle!
Crack!
The sound of a neck snapping echoed in the room.
Every CP9 agent couldn’t help but shrink back; the strongest Rob Lucci was surprisingly taken down by Uehara Naraku with just one move!
Uehara Naraku released his hand, dropping Rob Lucci’s body to the ground, and looked at the others: "Anyone else have an uncomfortable neck?"
"..."
Spandam’s face changed, he shouted: "Everyone together, hurry up and capture this guy!"
A few seconds later.
All the CP9 agents were lying on the ground, each of their necks twisted at an eerie angle, died in the exact same manner as Rob Lucci.
A few seconds later, every agent subconsciously held onto their necks as they came back to consciousness, as if they had woken from a nightmare.
No, it was not a nightmare!
That had existed in reality!
Each of them had been killed once!
Uehara Naraku nonchalantly dusted off his palms, speaking softly: "Your resurrection experience card has expired, now, is there anyone who dares to make a move?"
"..."
Everyone fell into silence, in just a few seconds, the entire CP9 agents were all killed once, without even a chance to react...
Spandam crawled out tremblingly from under the desk, wearing a flattering smile: "Major Uehara, I am acting on the orders of the World Government..."
"Rest assured."
Uehara Naraku patted Spandam on the head, speaking with a chuckle: "But in exchange, I believe you know what you must do, right? I’m only giving you one chance... you tell me, whose orders should you follow in the future?"
"Of course, the Navy’s orders..."
Spandam’s display of flattery was directed at Uehara Naraku.
"Ah, wrong answer."
Uehara Naraku slowly extended his hand, placing it on Spandam’s head, speaking calmly: "After so many years as the head of CP9, how come you haven’t acquired a bit of worldly wisdom?"
"Wha... what do you mean?"
Spandam’s expression involuntarily changed slightly, feeling the force on his head growing stronger, he shouted: "You can’t kill me! I’m the head of CP9, and Kakuzu from the Seven Warlords of the Sea and Navy Admiral Aokiji will be here soon, they will definitely not let you get away with this! Hey, you lot, come save..."
Crack!
Spandam’s body fell to the ground.
Uehara Naraku casually glanced at the unmoved CP9 members, chuckling softly: "That’s your leader, to just stand by and watch?"
Rob Lucci’s pupils slightly contracted, and the pigeon standing on his shoulder spoke for him: "When there is an absolute difference in power, there is no need to waste precious lives for a worthless person..."
"Well said."
Uehara Naraku clapped lightly, glanced at the pigeon on Rob Lucci’s shoulder, and said with a smile: "Your pigeon is quite impressive... But if you keep using it to speak for you, my dinner today will be pigeon soup."
"..."
Rob Lucci looked at Uehara Naraku with a confused expression, why did this guy want to kill the pigeon he had raised since childhood!
Is this the conduct of a strong person?
"Alright."
Uehara Naraku glanced around at those present, tilting his head slightly: "Now that Spandam is dead, who will answer who you should take orders from in the future?"
"Obviously, your orders."
Kalifa, as the female among the CP9 agents, was especially meticulous in mind, immediately choosing an answer that was undoubtedly correct.
"Very sensible..."
Uehara Naraku curled his lips slightly, suddenly spreading his hand towards Kalifa, a sudden burst of gravity erupted!
Kalifa’s neck suddenly fell into Uehara Naraku’s grasp!
Uehara Naraku, clutching her neck, spoke casually: "But can you tell me why your heart doesn’t truly think that way?"
"That’s what I think..."
Kalifa quickly reached out to grasp Uehara Naraku’s arm, a hint of fear appearing on her face, she didn’t want to experience having her neck twisted again!
Just at this moment, the door of the CP9 interrogation chamber suddenly opened, the figure of Navy Admiral Aokiji appearing at the entrance.
Aokiji arrived hurriedly, probably fearing that Enies Lobby would be messed up by this guy Uehara Naraku, so he arrived there quickly.
Unfortunately, he arrived a bit too late.
The CP9 agents had already fallen into Uehara Naraku’s hands.
Aokiji looked at Uehara Naraku, who was clutching Kalifa’s neck, his eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow slightly, he softly said: "Hey, Uehara Naraku, can’t you be a bit more gentle to this lovely lady?"
"Admiral Aokiji!"
Kalifa’s face appeared as if she saw a savior!
Every CP9 agent breathed a sigh of relief, at least with the words of this Navy Admiral, Uehara Naraku probably wouldn’t go too far!
Uehara Naraku slowly turned his head to gaze at Aokiji’s figure, slightly squinting his eyes: "Didn’t anyone teach you to knock before entering?"
"Hmm..."
Aokiji glanced at Spandam, who was lying on the ground, scratched his head involuntarily, and turned to leave the interrogation room, muttering, "Such a hassle..."
Knock knock knock...
Aokiji gave the door a few symbolic knocks.
"Do not come in."
Uehara Naraku’s words nearly choked Aokiji.
The forehead of the Navy Admiral couldn’t help but twitch as he muttered, "Hey, if you’re going to do something, hurry up, that guy Sakazuki is on his way. I’m going to get some beer. What do you want to drink?"
"Orange juice."
Uehara Naraku nonchalantly dismissed Admiral Aokiji, then turned to look at the CP9 members in the room, smiling as he opened his palm.
"I’m actually very easy-going."
Uehara Naraku looked at the people present and continued with a light laugh, "You all have one minute left to live. You can choose to resist, scream, or surrender to prolong your life, though some of those might speed things up..."
"If you can save us, we’re willing to surrender."
Rob Lucci looked at Uehara Naraku, covering his pigeon with a hand, and said proactively, "Spandam is dead. His father, Spandine, was the former CP9 officer. He definitely won’t let us agents off easily..."
"That depends on how sincere you are..."
Uehara Naraku curled his lips into a smirk and said softly, "If even one of you refuses to surrender, all eight of you will be killed..."
"..."
Rob Lucci was silent for a second.
The next moment, Lucci’s figure suddenly moved, and his finger swiftly landed on Sea Mink Nero, instantly piercing Nero’s heart with a Finger Gun!
Rob Lucci slowly turned to Uehara Naraku, speaking calmly, "Now with just seven remaining, they should all be very earnest in surrendering to you."
"..."
Uehara Naraku fell silent, somewhat eerily.
Rob Lucci glanced at Uehara Naraku, lightly explaining, "Nero was a recently inserted intern, and I couldn’t ascertain his intentions. To prevent a crisis that might doom us all, I had to eliminate him!"
"Well done."
Uehara Naraku clapped softly, looking at Rob Lucci, and said in a low voice, "It seems like you guys... are more united than I imagined!"
"Though these guys are a bunch of useless people..."
Despite the looks from the other CP9 agents, Rob Lucci continued, "I can barely trust them with my life. They’re worth believing in!"
Everyone: "..."
Although they felt somewhat touched, there was still an urge to beat Rob Lucci to a pulp... Did that bastard even know how to talk to people?
Rob Lucci’s gaze fell on Nero, calmly continuing his explanation, "Besides, someone has to be accountable for Spandam’s death... I figured such a dirty deed wouldn’t fall on Lord Naraku, so it can only fall on Nero."
"You are very astute."
Uehara Naraku tilted his head, casually gesturing with his hand, saying, "You may go report to Aokiji, tell him you are my subordinates, and go back to Water Seven City to continue your lives. I’ll call upon you when needed!"
"Life?"
Kalifa looked at Uehara Naraku in confusion.
"That’s right."
Uehara Naraku squinted at Kalifa and nodded, chuckling, "Seems I don’t really need you to do anything... consider it a rare vacation... As for the task of gathering Pluto, let’s set that trivial matter aside!"
"..."
The group looked at Uehara Naraku with complicated expressions.
Honestly, besides assignments, the CP9 agents never had the concept of life. Is this superior demanding their allegiance kind of unreliable?
Only Kalifa, who was looking at Uehara Naraku while subconsciously covering her chest, smiled and said, "Sir, this is sexual harassment..."
Bang!
Kalifa was kicked away by Rob Lucci!
Ignoring the bizarre looks from others, Rob Lucci slowly removed his hat, bowed to Uehara Naraku, with a bit more respect in his voice.
"As you command."
"Truly clever!"
Uehara Naraku looked at Rob Lucci, the veritable leader among CP9, and said softly, "Well, considering your decisive action, I’ll let Kalifa’s insolence slide."
"Yes, Lord Naraku."
Rob Lucci nodded and began to lead the CP9 members away. Kalifa, supported by Kaku, stood up, limping along with him.
"By the way."
Uehara Naraku suddenly called out to them, chuckling, "If your subordinates are too weak, since there’s no need to exploit them, I might not even remember them..."
"We understand."
Rob Lucci spoke steadily, "Next time we meet, we’ll ensure Lord Naraku finds our presence worthwhile."
As soon as they stepped through the door.
Bruno looked at Rob Lucci, unable to resist asking, "Lucci, if he forgets about us, wouldn’t it mean we don’t have to face someone so terrifying anymore..."
"Then..."
Rob Lucci’s gaze sharpened gradually, "If you have a useless tool at home, and someone steals or destroys it, would you care?"
If CP9 remains just a useless tool, Uehara Naraku certainly wouldn’t care about their lives. Only by becoming a tool that Uehara Naraku can use, having the value of being exploited, would there be value in being protected!
Just when Rob Lucci thought he’d conveyed his point, Bruno suddenly said, "Of course I’d care; even if the tool is useless, it’s still my property..."
"..."
Rob Lucci fell into deep thought.
Was there an issue with his analogy, or was Bruno simply not getting it?
