Chapter 531 - It’s All Uehara’s Fault

The Blackbeard Pirates really want to use Kabuto, hoping that he can intervene and get rid of Sasuke and Ace, the two people who were chasing them.

But Kabuto certainly doesn’t like them…

There was almost no one in the whole sea who did not know Kabuto’s name.

This former new generation of Resourceful General has now become high official who holds power in the World Government. The CP department under his command is everywhere in the sea, and his shadow is everywhere in the sea. Many pirates fear Kabuto even more than Admiral.

When Kabuto just took the position, he had been capturing the Revolutionary Army members and pirates to consolidate his position in the World Government.

Some countries in the sea also trembled with fear and did not dare to offend Kabuto. After Kabuto joined the World Government, the number of countries that joined the World Government has increased by more than 30 in recent years…

To put it bluntly…

Kabuto was a man with real power.

Compared to Kabuto, the Blackbeard Pirates were just like a thief. How could they have the opportunity to get close to Kabuto?

“Then we must show our value…”

Black Zetsu floated on Marshall D. Teach’s body and said with a gloomy voice, “It just so happens that our people have obtained some information. The newly appointed Chief Inspector of the Marine Headquarters seems to want to deal with a Yonko(Four Emperors) Pirate Group…”

“Zehahaha, you must be joking, right?”

Teach could not help but clench his fists and laugh as he said, “That guy’s guts are still as big as ever!”

“Yes…”

Black Zetsu’s smile gradually became strange, “Kabuto wanted to capture an important person and publicly execute him. He wanted to force a Yonko(Four Emperors) Pirate Group to start a war with the marine and wanted to use the blood of the pirates to dye his official position…”

In name, this was information from White Zetsu.

In fact, the real source of information was told to White Zetsu by Kabuto.

In any case, Teach could not find any loopholes. Ever since this guy obtained Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, he had fallen into an inexplicable self-confidence.

This guy really thought that fate had chosen him!

“Kabuto’s idea is exactly the same as the plan we discussed before…”

Teach clenched his fist and laughed, “We can cooperate with him and send him a reason to fight Whitebeard Pirates!”

No matter if Ace or Sasuke were caught, Pops would definitely not ignore them. Zehahaha, obviously his body can’t hold it anymore, but he is still holding naive thoughts…”

“For us, this is a great opportunity…”

Black Zetsu looked at Teach and smiled sinisterly, “It just so happened that we used the fact that we were being chased by Sasuke and Ace and then set a trap with Kabuto to catch them together…”

To put it bluntly…

In fact, it was to let Teach be used as bait for fishing.

However, at least he still had the qualifications to be the bait. If they were caught by Sasuke, their chances of survival would be very slim.

In short…

This was to find a way out of a desperate situation.

Therefore, after discussing for a while, the Blackbeard Pirates sent Laffitte to secretly rush to Marineford, hoping that they could reach cooperation with Kabuto.

And at this time.

Uchiha Sasuke and Portgas D. Ace were still on the way to track down Marshall D. Teach. The two of them almost flipped the first half of the Grand Line.

Because the time limit given by Akatsuki Organization was only two months…

Now it was almost a month, and they still had not killed Teach. They also knew that Teach had eaten Yami Yami no Mi(Dark-Dark Fruit)…

The most important thing was…

Sasuke found that Black Zetsu was lurking beside Teach. This meant that Teach had become Akatsuki’s pawn, and Whitebeard Pirates had no way to hand Yami Yami no Mi(Dark-Dark Fruit) to the Akatsuki Organization!

What Yami Yami no Mi(Dark-Dark Fruit) agreement? Uehara didn’t care about this so-called agreement at all. He just kept playing with them!

This was big trouble…

Perhaps the only good news was that Ace also saw the news of Luffy making a big fuss in Little Garden. The Straw Hat Pirates also happened to be on the same route as their route. Maybe they will meet at the next stop…

“The bounty of that guy Luffy rose very fast…”

Ace looked at the wanted poster in his hand. It was the latest bounty of Straw Hat Luffy, which was over 100 million. Ace showed off and handed the wanted poster to his companion.

“Hey, Sasuke, look at Luffy’s new bounty. He will definitely become a supernova this year, just like when we were in the past!”

“…”

Sasuke shook his head speechlessly.

Was there really nothing wrong with this Ace’s brain? In the first half of the Grand Line, someone loves these little pirates with soaring bounties.

When their bounty increased…

They will definitely be targeted by Kakuzu!

Yesterday, Sasuke and Kakuzu talked using the Den Den Mushi, and that guy Kakuzu was still focused on earning money and asked Sasuke if he wanted to cooperate…

What the hell was this time?

When Akatsuki was about to set off a huge wave on this sea, why was Kakuzu still thinking of earning money?

The current Kakuzu has four carefully selected Devil Fruit abilities in his body, which were one Logia-type and the other temporarily unknown…

According to Kakuzu’s personality, what he took away must not be an ordinary ability.

Once the Straw Hat Pirate was targeted by Kakuzu, in the face of Kakuzu and Hidan, the little guys of the Straw Hat Pirate will definitely be packed up to exchange for the bounty…

If the Straw Hat Pirate was not targeted by Kakuzu…

That was the real danger!

Because someone who could make Kakuzu, who loved to earn money, turn a blind eye to Straw Hat Luffy’s bounty must have especially told him that Straw Hat Luffy still had a greater use…

Perhaps it was also possible that Kakuzu has been eyeing the two of them recently…

Sasuke knew how high the bounty of him and Ace was. If he could catch the two of them, Kakuzu would party for three years…

Now, the bounty of Sasuke and Ace added up was even higher than Whitebeard’s bounty.

Purururu…

Purururu…

Just as Sasuke was still thinking about Kakuzu, Kakuzu’s routine Den Den Mushi had arrived. Ever since Sasuke and Ace entered the first half of the Grand Line, Kakuzu would call almost every day to ask for his location.

It really made Sasuke want to hit someone.

“Sasuke.”

After Kakuzu dialed the number, he went straight to the point, “Where are you now? It’s rare for you to come to the first half – Paradise. Do you want me to play the host?”

“There’s no need for that.”

Sasuke rubbed his forehead, and his expression clearly showed a bit of impatience, “This idiot, Ace, likes to dine and dash.”

“What a vile character…”

Kakuzu, who was in the Den Den Den Mushi, sounded unhappy, “It is unforgivable to dine and dash. Let me send him to Impel Down to reflect…”

“I will take care of him.”

Sasuke looked at the wanted poster in his hand and suddenly said, “Come to think of it, there is a new person in the Grand Line… Straw Hat Luffy’s bounty has already exceeded 100 million beli not long after entering the Grand Line. Have you not set your eyes on his head?”

“100 million beli is indeed a lot of bounties.”

Kakuzu’s voice in the Den Den Mushi was a bit hoarse; he slowly continued, “But I can’t get that money at all… Because the person who is chasing the Straw Hat Pirates is a Marine Vice Admiral named Uehara Naraku.”

When Luffy entered the Grand Line, especially after the news of the battle arena on Little Garden spread out, Kakuzu actually had his eyes on Luffy.

Unfortunately…

Through World Government’s channels, Kakuzu also knew that Uehara was chasing the Straw Hat Pirates. After contacting Uehara once, he could only give up on Luffy’s head.

“That guy!”

Sasuke couldn’t help but clench his Den Den Mushi. No wonder Kakuzu didn’t catch Luffy. Sure enough, it was Uehara who personally came out to deal with the Straw Hat Pirates.

If he was targeted by Uehara…

Luffy might as well be captured by Kakuzu to exchange for the bounty!

On the Drum Island.

The Straw Hat Pirates didn’t know all of this yet. They rushed to Dr. Kureha’s house under Dalton’s lead, but they met an unexpected person there.

“Miss Nico Robin!”

Sanji looked at Nico Robin in disbelief because he remembered that Nico Robin was the vice president of the Baroque Works three years ago.

As an old acquaintance of the Baroque Works, when Nami saw Nico Robin, her face was full of surprise, “Why is Sister Robin here?”

“Mr. Sanji, Nami, and Luffy?”

Nico Robin stroked a small reindeer beside her and said with a smile, “It’s been a long time! Why are you here?”

“Uh, Luffy is seriously injured…”

Sanji could not help but take out a cigarette and slowly explained, “We rushed over from Little Garden… What about Miss Robin? I heard that the Baroque Works has been disbanded…”

“Yes…”

Nico Robin nodded, and there was a hint of disappointment on her face, “After Baroque Works was disbanded, Crocodile was also locked in prison… Later, I began to return to the wandering days. Recently, I wanted to see Cherry Blossoms, so I planned to stay on Drum Island for a period of time. I also wanted to make up for the people that Baroque Works had hurt…”

“It’s not Robin’s fault!”

The reindeer under Nico Robin’s feet suddenly raised his head and pouted, “It’s obviously the fault of that bastard Uehara Naraku!”

“Chopper, don’t talk nonsense…”

Nico Robin smiled and rubbed the reindeer’s head.

A smile also appeared on Sanji’s face. He slowly said, “This civet cat is right…it was that guy’s fault…”

“I am a reindeer!”

Just as they were exchanging greetings, Usopp slowly approached Nami and carefully asked, “Hey, who is this woman? She looks very kind…”

“She used to be the vice president of Baroque Works…”

Nami glanced at Nico Robin and whispered to Usopp, “In short, she is a very scary person. Please do not offend her! I remember the last time I saw her bounty; it seemed to have risen to 290 million beli…”

“… Hiss…”

Usopp gasped in shock.

‘This woman Nico Robin’s bounty is much higher than Luffy’s. How terrifying is this woman?!’
