Uehara Naraku gazed at Uchiha Sasuke and spoke calmly: "When I set my eyes on Portgas D. Ace, destiny had already made its choice. No matter how you intervene, the outco cannot be changed."
"You bastard..."
Uchiha Sasuke couldn’t help but clench his fists, glaring at Uehara Naraku: "Uehara Naraku, is this truly your nature... or is that guy’s chakra influencing you more and more?"
Uchiha Sasuke bit his teeth and continued discontentedly: "Clearly, what you should have is the side of humanity, so why do you have a greater desire to control others’ lives than a divine nature..."
Uchiha Sasuke’s attitude was sowhat peculiar.
To resist Uehara Naraku was sothing Sasuke surely wouldn’t dare to do, he must have been misled, always wanting to awaken Uehara Naraku’s humanity.
It felt like...
He hoped Uehara Naraku could beco more human-like.
"Shut up!"
Uehara Naraku’s face turned dark, cutting off Uchiha Sasuke coldly. No matter who ntioned the Six Paths Sage’s chakra, it always gave him a headache.
Everyone present couldn’t help but turn their eyes towards Uchiha Sasuke and Uehara Naraku, especially Aokiji and Doflamingo, who subconsciously started pondering Uchiha Sasuke’s words, which grew more unsettling the more thought was given.
Divinity...
Humanity...
Aokiji recalled Yakushi Kabuto and Hoshigaki Kisa’s genuine respect towards Uehara Naraku. Could this Uehara Naraku truly be a god?
Though, he surely couldn’t be a Creator God like those nonsensical Heavenly Celestial Dragons.
If it were true...
What in the world is this guy’s purpose?
Doflamingo was clearly more accepting since he had personally experienced Uehara Naraku’s thod of reviving the dead... Such a powerful existence would certainly not allow his reputation to be sullied by sothing like the Heavenly Celestial Dragons, right?
"Uchiha Sasuke."
Uehara Naraku’s face gradually turned colder, as he spoke calmly: "Just obediently follow my plan, don’t get too deep, this is not where you belong!"
"...I understand."
Uchiha Sasuke nodded, continuing in a deep voice: "If there’s nothing else for , then I’ll be off. I’ve received news that Jinbe from the Seven Warlords of the Sea is on his way to intercept our challenge to Whitebeard, I have to take care of him..."
"Fine, go capture Jinbe!"
Uehara Naraku said nonchalantly: "After I finish here, let Kisa head to Fishman Island. Seize this chance to replace Jinbe’s position as a Seven Warlord of the Sea. As for that guy Jinbe, let him remain with the Whitebeard Pirates and be a pirate there!"
"A seamless plan."
Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses, lightly praising: "If after Sasuke captures Jinbe, we leverage the situation to make it look like Jinbe has fully pledged allegiance to Whitebeard,
the World Governnt would undoubtedly not tolerate a Warlord colluding with a Yonko and would certainly revoke his position; hence, we could allow Mr. Kisa to take over without a single loss..."
"Hm, it’s quite unrealistic though."
Aokiji, seemingly a bit tactless, imdiately poured cold water on Yakushi Kabuto’s words: "The Baroque Works is a major target for the Navy’s eradication, they might not allow a mber of Baroque Works to take over a Warlord position..."
"This matter can be easily resolved."
Uehara Naraku glanced at Hoshigaki Kisa and then turned to Aokiji: "Kisa has already left Baroque Works, and by offering his services as a Warlord to assist in taking down Baroque Works’ leader Crocodile, such terms..."
"Fufufufu... it would surely work."
Before Aokiji could respond, Doflamingo replied with a grin: "As long as Mr. Kisa displays his power in the endeavor to take down Baroque Works’ leader, the old n at the World Governnt would definitely agree to this deal!"
Hoshigaki Kisa also grinned widely, laughing: "Looks like I have to bully Mr. Crocodile again? I feel he will hate very much..."
"Mr. Kisa..."
Nico Robin couldn’t help but hold her forehead, sighing: "That day when you subrged Crocodile in the fish tank to humiliate him, he already hated you to the core..."
"So petty, I clearly spared his life!"
Hoshigaki Kisa also couldn’t help but sigh.
After a silent mont, Nico Robin shook her head: "You and Mr. Uehara are becoming more and more alike..."
In any case...
Not acting like a human, right?
"Alright."
Uehara Naraku waved his hand to interrupt their idle chat and continued: "Also, besides Robin and , Sasori and Deidara should defect from Baroque Works directly and see if they can also secure a position as a Warlord..."
"Hm?"
Aokiji ignored the rest, only noting that Uehara Naraku and Nico Robin would not betray Crocodile, which left Admiral Aokiji puzzled.
"Sorry, didn’t quite understand what you ant... weren’t you planning to join the Navy’s SWORD Squad?"
"This isn’t contradictory at all!"
Uehara Naraku replied casually: "If Mr. Crocodile displays imnse strength during this endeavor, the Navy wouldn’t mind continuing undercover by Mr. Crocodile’s side, right?"
"Certainly not."
As a mber of the SWORD Squad, Yakushi Kabuto had significant authority to speak on this matter, and even added: "If Crocodile’s strength proves too formidable, Lord Naraku’s value as an undercover agent would increase... I will help facilitate this too."
Everyone: "..."
You people really aren’t any good!
Nico Robin raised an important question: "But... does Crocodile have such formidable strength?"
"Mr. Crocodile is a man who has battled Whitebeard!"
After Uehara Naraku said this, he chuckled lightly: "I’ll co up with a way to make him stronger. You all just help with the act... this ti, let’s have Vice Admiral Drake as the vanguard and let him report to the World Governnt about Mr. Crocodile’s terror!"
Everyone: "..."
Well, it’s apparent now.
That poor Vice Admiral Drake...
He’s likely the only one to suffer battle damages in this fight.
Though officially the leader in eradicating Baroque Works, he’ll be played into fighting hard against Crocodile.
This is really too bad!
No, the most unfortunate person has to be Sand Crocodile Crocodile.
After so reluctant thought, Aokiji took a look at Nico Robin beside him, then at Uehara Naraku: "Why do you and Robin still want to stay by Crocodile’s side? It seems aningless."
"We need to enter the New World, and Mr. Crocodile is a banner that catches the wind..."
Uehara Naraku spread out his hand and explained: "If not for Mr. Crocodile’s cover, going into the New World with such power, wouldn’t that draw too much attention if I did anything?"
Uehara Naraku’s fingers gently tapped on the table, softly saying: "Okay, let’s push Crocodile to leave his hotown, Alabasta, away from this comfort zone in this battle, and also reshuffle the First Half of the Grand Line!"
