The Navy mbers left their warship with grim expressions.
The mood among the Navy was really not good, each one engraving the na of Baroque Works in their hearts with resentnt.
Just as Tina was about to disembark, she stopped in front of Uehara Naraku, trying once again to persuade him: "Hey, don’t do anything dangerous, Tina definitely..."
"Colonel Tina."
Uehara Naraku interrupted Tina, speaking softly: "This ti, Baroque Works has left the Grand Line, planning to use this opportunity to raid the wealthiest places in the East Sea.
If you have ti, please quickly head to the Navy Base in this town and inform Captain Smoker to be careful!
Because we’ve received orders from the boss, Captain Smoker is the strongest among the East Sea Naval officers. To plunder the East Sea, he must be dealt with first, so we’ve prepared a secret weapon to use against him!"
"..."
Tina’s expression instantly turned serious.
The next mont, after slowly nodding, Tina left her warship, planning to imdiately head to Log Town’s Navy Base to find her friend Smoker!
Smoker is a Logia-Type: Smoke-Smoke Fruit Ability User.
If the mbers of Baroque Works have really prepared ans to deal with Smoker, that’s really not good, he must be notified quickly!
If Smoker is dealt with, even if reinforcents arrive, it would be too late to stop Baroque Works from plundering the East Sea!
"Tina understands."
After furrowing her brow, Colonel Tina left a statent before hurriedly departing: "Uehara Naraku, you must be careful, don’t let them find you!"
If what Uehara Naraku said is true, then preparations must be made early; if false, it’s of no consequence.
However, based on Tina’s observations, she felt Uehara Naraku had no reason to deceive her.
Perhaps because of their interactions in recent days, she believed this person nad Uehara Naraku was actually having second thoughts, but was still intimidated by the boss of Baroque Works...
Watching this beautiful Colonel hurriedly depart...
Hoshigaki Kisa walked over carrying the Shark Skin Greatsword, unable to help but grin: "Lord Uehara, are the Navy’s intelligence always this low? After all these days she hasn’t realized that Lord Uehara is the most formidable among us!"
"Kisa..."
Uehara Naraku sighed softly: "Isn’t it because my acting skills are superb?"
"...Alright."
Hoshigaki Kisa shook his head helplessly.
Nico Robin slowly walked out, gazing at Uehara Naraku, softly asking: "Are we really going to raid the East Sea?"
"Of course."
Uehara Naraku nodded, continued: "I’ve finished the route map, first stop Log Town, second stop Sea Restaurant Baratie, third stop Orange Village, fourth stop Windmill Village..."
"..."
Nico Robin’s eyelids twitched.
What kind of route map did Uehara Naraku co up with!
Apart from Log Town being sowhat acceptable, the rest were unheard-of small villages, and why is there even a Sea Restaurant!
Clearly, your prowess is so strong, can’t you be a bit more ambitious? It’s really puzzling, how much money can there be in such places!
"Alright."
Uehara Naraku glanced at Hoshigaki Kisa beside him, grinning as he spoke: "Let’s go have a look at the Pirate King’s execution site then!"
"Hmm?"
Hoshigaki Kisa looked at Uehara Naraku in surprise, unable to resist asking curiously: "Lord Uehara, aren’t we going to greet Log Town first?"
This is the tradition of Akatsuki.
No, rather, it was Uehara Naraku who created this tradition, regardless of where to attack, always first greet with a powerful jutsu.
"Forget it."
Uehara Naraku patted his forehead, shook his head: "Now I’m a good guy! Once we reach the Pirate King’s execution stand, you can greet this town then!"
"Oh?"
Hoshigaki Kisa’s face was filled with keen interest.
Log Town, Navy Base.
Navy Headquarters Colonel Smoker resides here, this town is also his hotown, years ago he also personally witnessed the execution of Pirate King Gol D. Roger.
While others were crazily setting sail to seek treasures, Smoker pledged to prevent the Great Pirate Era created by Gol D. Roger, a fellow townsman!
This truly is...
An admirable, upright worldview!
It must be said, Smoker has done well.
Because of his station at Log Town, capturing nurous pirates attempting to enter the Grand Line, the Navy high command both loved and hated him.
Because what’s criticized is, Smoker rarely follows orders from superiors, always rushing into action, so he’s still just a Colonel.
Now Smoker leisurely held a cigar in his mouth, walking down the streets of Log Town, looking rather unapproachable, and indeed he doesn’t appear approachable.
To be honest...
In the eyes of many Log Town residents, this Navy Colonel nad Smoker seems more like a gang leader than the actual gang leader of this town, Bartoloo.
Smoker’s favorite thing to do is holding a cigar, patrolling the streets of Log Town. This peaceful town, as it reflects his years of hard work.
Just as Smoker was about to have two more cigars slowly, he saw a figure rushing by, unable to help but twitching his eyelids: "Hey, Tina, why have you co to Log Town?"
Tina is a good friend of Smoker.
Both were once trained under the forr Navy Admiral Zephyr, from the sa batch of training camp, so their relationship is genuinely good.
"Smoker!"
Colonel Tina didn’t hesitate at all and started explaining the whole situation: "So very powerful pirates have entered Loguetown... they’re targeting you!"
Tina imdiately recounted everything that had happened to her in the Windless Zone to Smoker, and also told him the news that Baroque Works intended to plunder the East Sea.
After saying everything, this beautiful Navy colonel slightly furrowed her brows, lowered her head, and sighed: "Tina feels ashad."
"It seems the enemy is indeed quite strong!"
Smoker exhaled a thick ring of smoke and spoke in a gruff voice: "I’ll dispatch warships to surround them, I’ll take care of those guys, take back your warship... no matter how strong the pirates we encounter, the Navy must never retreat."
Just as the two Navy colonels were gathering.
The square of Loguetown.
It’s also the liveliest place in all of Loguetown.
The platform where Gol D. Roger was once executed is still preserved, with the World Governnt using it as a symbol to warn the world.
"Seems like there’s no one watching..."
Uehara Naraku glanced around, leisurely walked up to the execution platform, and softly said: "Wait for here, I’ll go up and have a look."
"Yes."
Hoshigaki Kisa nodded.
Nico Robin’s expression was sowhat peculiar.
This execution platform actually isn’t auspicious, as it was where the world’s most fearso pirate was once executed.
Uehara Naraku walked up step by step.
The townsfolk in the square noticed this scene, their expressions slightly changing, so seed unable to hold back wanting to stop Uehara Naraku.
Uehara Naraku turned a deaf ear, stepped up to the execution platform as if ascending to a once supre throne, and stood upon it.
This was the last view seen by a generation’s Pirate King before his death.
Side Quest: Stand on the Pirate King’s execution platform in Loguetown and feel the legacy of the Pirate King’s will (1/1), task completed, reward: 100,000 points Life Energy, 100,000 points Armant Haki, 100,000 points Observation Haki.

Supre King Haki: A rare born haki in one among a million, can intimidate, shock opponents without engaging, and can even be used for direct attacks.
This is what a Newbie Village should look like!
Just walking on this platform can earn such high rewards!
Sotis, you can’t bla the system, it provided a path to godhood, but Uehara Naraku inexplicably chose a hellish start...
Uehara Naraku (Normal Form)
World Power: 5,200,000
Life Energy: 583,900
Supre King Haki: Advanced
Armant Haki: 583,900
Observation Haki: 583,900
Life Energy Recovery: 1,296/second
Armant Haki: 648/second
Observation Haki: 648/second
Remaining Gold Coins: 13,020
Uehara Naraku glanced at his attribute panel, and at this mont he had obtained the Three Haki, no longer needing to worry about being suppressed by Supre King Haki against opponents.
Moreover...
As a leader desiring to lead Akatsuki to the top of the world, not having Supre King Haki always felt odd.
No, that’s not quite right either.
As soone who always liked manipulating everything behind the scenes, suddenly gaining Supre King Haki, this feeling seed even stranger!
Uehara Naraku leapt to the side of Hoshigaki Kisa and Nico Robin, smiling broadly as he spoke: "I’ve got what I wanted, let’s go!"
"Looks like Lord Uehara is in a good mood..."
Hoshigaki Kisa grinned, showing a trace of a smile: "So, shall we leave Loguetown now? Not going to bid farewell to this town?"
"Hmm..."
Uehara Naraku’s gaze fell upon Smoker and Tina who were rushing over from a street, his brows furrowing slightly.
Even though he had obtained Supre King, his first thought was still to show off his acting skills in front of Colonel Tina?
Is he really more suited to be a backstage manipulator after all?
What use is Supre King Haki!
No matter how strong, it can only montarily awe the enemy!
If a person has always hidden their identity in front of enemies, when the true identity is revealed, not only would it double the enemy’s shock, but also exponentially increase one’s own pleasure!
But it would leave a psychological shadow for the enemies.
Of course...
If one keeps jumping back and forth...
It would further increase the psychological shadow area.
Uehara Naraku slightly shifted his steps, blocking in front of Captain Smoker and Colonel Tina, his face showing a hint of urgency as he signaled them with a look.
"Hey, didn’t I say? Don’t provoke Baroque Works!"
