Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 363 Why are young people these days arresting even naval admirals?

late at night.

The Konoha Pirates gradually fell silent.

Some people were sleeping soundly in the cabin, while others were patrolling the watchtower.

As for Dracule Mihawk, due to his inconvenient status, he disembarked again after helping to cook a meal, heading towards the latter half of the Grand Line.

As for Admiral Aokiji…

The admiral was indeed submerged in water.

Even when submerged in water, he can still fall into a deep sleep.

Sasori of the Red Sand stood on the watchtower, where he was to relay orders from Kagura Akihara at any time and to transmit all the movements here to her. As a human puppet, he did not need to rest.

A long-haired figure floated down behind him.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki hovered in the air, appearing like a god descended to earth in the moonlight, her voice almost inaudible: "Asura Path, is he angry?"

"Just taking advantage of the situation..."

Asura Path Sasori turned around, but instead of looking at Kaguya Otsutsuki, he warily eyed the sleeping Admiral Aokiji: "When we enter the Grand Line, let everyone see this Marine Admiral in such a sorry state, let everyone witness the arrogance of this pirate crew..."

"I'm not actually that angry..."

"One of the purposes of killing the Celestial Dragons was to lure out a Marine Admiral to be used as a pawn, but unfortunately, the Marine Admiral who came was a lazy fellow..."

"We can't completely trust Aokiji. There's a high probability he's an undercover agent within the Navy, and also a Navy mole infiltrating this pirate crew..."

"I see."

Kaguya Otsutsuki immediately noticed the change in the person before her. She wasn't particularly concerned about Admiral Aokiji's situation, and slowly nodded to herself, "During the day, many people on this ship were quite nervous; they were worried about you too..."

"But it's all just for show, to impress this admiral..."

Asura Path Sasori's voice remained mechanical, seemingly devoid of emotion: "After all, to make use of his admiral status, we at least need to let him know that the undercover agent in the navy is very important. He will definitely be very concerned about that undercover agent hidden in the navy..."

"It's highly likely that when he returns to the Navy, this Admiral will use the pretext of being a spy for the Konoha Pirates and not needing any other spies to purge the Konoha Pirates' spies hidden within the Navy. He thinks that you will eventually have no choice but to forgive his actions and continue to rely on him as an Admiral as a source of intelligence..."

"final…"

"At that time, your information will all come from this admiral, and you may very well become his tools."

This book was first published on 2009.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

"..."

This conjecture is actually quite accurate.

After agreeing to become a spy for this pirate crew within the Navy, Aokiji immediately thought about what he should do.

First, gain their trust as much as possible.

Secondly, eliminate their spies lurking in the Navy.

Ultimately, while using the Konoha Pirates to handle some troublesome matters that the Navy couldn't easily intervene in, they also probed the Konoha Pirates' true purpose.

No pirate crew in this world would be willing to give up a combatant of admiral level, let alone an admiral spy hiding within the Navy.

"And when he wanted to eliminate the spies within Marine Headquarters..."

Sasori's gaze fell on Aokiji, and he coldly said, "Let him experience despair a little!"

"I think…"

"He'll probably become much more obedient then."

"Before that, we must first squeeze every last drop of value out of him."

"Is that so?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't understand. A look of confusion flashed in her eyes, but she slowly nodded, as if she understood everything.

"Wait a mininute…"

"Before letting him leave..."

A small white snake climbed onto the watchtower and slowly transformed into Orochimaru's appearance. He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips: "Could I and the Second Hokage draw some blood for research? He's a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, you know..."

"No need to report such a trivial matter."

Asura Path Sasori waved his hand dismissively, even offering them another idea: "When you use this Marine Admiral to trade with the Navy, you can get them to exchange him for a few prisoners to use as your test subjects..."

"..."

Orochimaru's eyes lit up immediately.

but…

The future belongs to the future.

Let the present moment be the present moment.

Orochimaru and Tobirama Senju were both research fanatics.

After receiving permission, the two men got up in the middle of the night, drew a vial of blood from the still-sleeping Aokiji, and began their experimental research back in the cabin.

"Their genes have mutated..."

"Has the power of the Devil Fruit altered his genes?"

"Never mind all that. Let's fuse his cells with the First Generation's cells and see whose cells are stronger. Let's see the power of the Devil Fruit itself..."

Until dawn.

Orochimaru and Tobirama Senju are still in the laboratory.

"We're almost at Upside Down Mountain."

A voice interrupted their research, proactively reminding them, "You'd better stop your experiments for now. Store your valuable experimental materials; the journey might be a bit bumpy..."

Upside Down Mountain.

This is the entrance to the Grand Line.

Most ships that want to enter the Grand Line need to travel along the Reverse Mountain route, riding the rising sea currents that converge in the Reverse Mountain Canal, and be carried by the seawater to the top of the mountain and into the Grand Line.

This is a great but dangerous sea route.

For any ship, if the navigator's skills are inadequate, it could crash directly into the solid red earth and be completely reduced to a seabed wreck.

The town of Logue is closest to Upside Down Mountain.

However, the Loguetown navy rarely sails over Reverse Mountain, even though it is the closest sea route to Drum Kingdom, and Smoker, poisoned, urgently needs a highly skilled doctor.

"That's amazing..."

Karin watched as the warship, carried by the ocean currents, slowly climbed up the Red Earth Continent, and the shock in her eyes was almost impossible to hide.

Tashigi's face also showed a hint of amazement: "Since the warship reform, the navy has rarely gone through Reverse Mountain. In the past, even if Reverse Mountain was dangerous, it was much safer than facing large Sea Kings in the Calm Belt..."

"Be careful..."

A sergeant casually reminded the navigator on the warship, muttering, "I remember there's often a huge island whale around the Twin Towers entrance; if we hit it, we're done for..."

"It seems there aren't any left..."

The naval officer on lookout duty turned around.

Just as everyone finished discussing this topic and was about to rush down Reverse Mountain, they saw an extremely terrifying island whale emerge from the sea!

The island whale's head was covered with scars, and on top of the scars was a huge, scribbled graffiti mark of the Straw Hat Pirates!

"Um?"

Smoker regained his senses for a moment and then saw the straw hat graffiti on the whale's head, which made him grit his teeth in anger: "That's the Straw Hat Pirates' symbol!"

That brat!

They even dared to leave their marks so brazenly!

"Let's go straight for Straw Hat Boy...cough cough cough..."

Smoker slammed his fist on the railing in a huff, not caring at all about his injuries. The naval captain was completely enraged!

"Colonel Smoker..."

"Let's focus on treatment first!"

"Once Straw Hat Luffy enters the Grand Line, we'll definitely be able to stop him..."

A group of sailors quickly stepped forward to persuade their superior to stop.

While the straw hat mark left by the Straw Hat Boy on the island whale's head is certainly infuriating, his life is in danger at any moment...

The navy personnel, who had followed Smoker for years, were afraid he might lose his temper, so they quickly helped him back to his cabin to rest, fearing he might see some markings that would further anger him…

Twin Point.

Two lighthouses shine here, because it is these two lighthouses that allow passing ships to find the entrance to the Grand Line.

As the warship passed the lighthouse, the lighthouse keeper, Crocus, watched the bustling warship sail by and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Just as Crocus was about to look away, he saw a young naval lieutenant standing at the bow of the warship. This lieutenant remained calm throughout.

"This young man..."

Crocus shook his head and continued to lower his head, seemingly unconcerned.

Shortly after Crocus saw the warship pass by, a massive ship almost squeezed the channel as it slowly floated down from the Reverse Mountain. Nine enormous wooden dragons swam backwards, helping the ship slow down as it descended the slope!

"Um?"

Crocus looked at the large ship with some surprise. The ship was decorated with a pirate skull with a whirlpool symbol, indicating that it was also a group of pirates who had come to the Grand Line.

This pirate crew…

He seems to be doing better than other newcomers entering the Grand Line!

However, when Crocus saw a tall figure tied to the stern bobbing up and down in the boat, he finally couldn't hold back his anger!

"I feel like I've seen that guy tied to the stern of the boat before..."

Crocus's mind raced, trying to recall exactly when he had seen the other person: "I think I was following behind Garp... Wait!"

Crocus immediately remembered the young man who had always followed Garp. He had become a Marine Admiral many years ago. Crocus had seen the guy's picture in the newspaper. He was a Marine Admiral!

"Are you kidding me?"

Crocus's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in fright.

Even though he could be considered knowledgeable, how did this pirate crew that had just entered the Grand Line end up tying up a Marine Admiral?

"It's probably fake..."

Crocus shook his head to himself, feeling that he must be getting old and his eyesight was failing: "How could a Marine Headquarters Admiral be..."

"Ice ball!"

Just then, the general Aokiji, who was tied to the back of the ship, finally had a chance to break free from the sea amidst the ups and downs!

Aokiji quickly raised his palm and froze a portion of the seawater. The seawater quickly turned into an ice ball, allowing him to hide inside the ice ball and sleep more comfortably!

"!!!"

Crocus immediately knew he hadn't misread it!

This incredible freezing ability, coupled with that familiar appearance and towering stature, could only be achieved by that Admiral of the Headquarters!

This pirate crew…

Why would they bring a Marine Admiral into the Grand Line? Or did that Marine Admiral use this pirate crew as a hitchhiker to enter the Grand Line?

but…

Crocus soon met the members of this pirate crew.

The nine-headed wooden dragon pulled the large ship to a stop next to the lighthouse. A red-haired boy grew a pair of mechanical wings and slowly flew in front of Crocus.

"I'm sorry, I might be disturbing you..."

A red-haired boy took out a compass and politely asked, "Why is our compass malfunctioning?"

"Answer other people's questions before asking them questions."

Crocus pointed to the ice puck being towed behind their pirate ship: "Can you tell me first why there's a person towing your ship?"

"Oh, that's a naval admiral."

The red-haired boy didn't seem to care much about that and took the initiative to ask, "He's quite strong. The three of us on board couldn't handle him even if we joined forces. It was our first mate who finally captured him. We plan to use him to exchange for the captured Bucky the Clown with the Navy..."

"..."

Crocus fell silent for no apparent reason.

Are these guys really a bunch of complete newbies?

This pirate crew doesn't seem to know much about the Grand Line, and they didn't even have a Log Pose prepared, but it seems they really did capture a Marine Admiral?

Young people today…

They're all incredibly impressive!

The Straw Hat Pirates, those young people with dreams, are alright, but this pirate crew hasn't even been to the Grand Line yet, and they've already captured a Marine Admiral. Isn't their behavior a bit over the top?

Crocus sighed inwardly and said in a deep voice, "The magnetic field here is chaotic; we need to record the pointer before we can sail to other islands..."

"Perhaps you could ask that admiral if he has a Log Pose, or maybe he has an even more valuable Eternal Log that points to a specific island..."

Thank you.

Sasori of the Red Sand politely thanked him.

"Then let me remind you one more thing..."

Crocus looked at Sasori before him and said, "You want Buggy because you want the secrets about One Piece that he possesses, right?"

"Bucky..."

Crocus took a deep breath, recalling the red-nosed brat he had seen before, and shook his head, saying, "I've never seen anything like One Piece."

"I understand, thank you."

Sasori of the Red Sand immediately became even more polite.

"..."

Crocus watched as Sasori of the Red Sand took flight once more.

The lighthouse keeper watched helplessly as the red-haired boy returned to the ship.

One of the people on the pirate ship seemed to have heard something, broke the Marine Admiral's ice ball, dragged him onto the ship, and searched his Log Pose.

result…

They not only found the log pointer...

They even found a golden Den Den Mushi, a black Den Den Mushi, and a white Den Den Mushi on Aokiji's body.

"Feed, feed..."

Aokiji looked at the group speechlessly and had to remind them, "Don't press the golden Den Den Mushi carelessly. That's what the Navy uses to activate the Buster Call. Once activated, the Navy will launch an indiscriminate attack on the area where the signal is emitted until it is completely destroyed..."

"Isn't this interesting?"

Madara Uchiha chuckled softly, suddenly finding it amusing.

"alright."

Sasori nonchalantly returned the Den Den Mushi to Aokiji, offering a friendly reminder: "Contact Marine Headquarters first, see how much the Fleet Admiral is willing to offer for a Marine Admiral, and use that as an excuse to let you go back..."

"Bucky the Clown is a must."

Orochimaru immediately approached and said hastily, "We need one hundred Devil Fruits and one hundred Devil Fruit users to conduct experiments..."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't ask for too much..."

Aokiji's eye twitched, feeling that these guys were overestimating his value: "At this price, then I don't need to go back."

"Asking for the moon, then negotiating the price."

Sasori of the Red Sand never thought they could get much.

"Can't you just let me go back?"

Following suit, Aokiji immediately began bargaining, even offering a tempting suggestion: "If I go back, I can help you raise more... If news of my capture by pirates reaches headquarters, I might not be able to become a Marine Admiral in the future..."

"..."

Sasori's eyes remained unchanged.

because…

It won't make you a marshal...

That was one of the goals of the plan in itself...

Anyone who has a chance of becoming the Fleet Admiral will be removed from the list to prevent these guys from actually competing for the position...

A brilliant strategy.

It is never something that can be achieved overnight.

Instead, it gathers all the small events together, like grains of rice fermenting into wine, to create a momentous event.

Bucky the Clown seems to have seen Ace before…

Where exactly was Ace defeated? It doesn't seem to have been in Alabasta?
