Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 375 I will stand on the side of fairness and justice

Boom boom boom boom...

A series of footsteps reached their ears.

Kizaru looked toward the figures walking toward the bow of the ship, but only saw two figures in naval uniforms, which surprised him.

no…

How could it be the navy?

Is this another spy planted in the Navy by the Konoha Pirates?

However, these two naval spies were of low rank and not worth taking seriously, at least not as dangerous as the betrayal of Admiral Aokiji...

Let me introduce myself.

Kagura Akihara extended her hand to Kizaru, appearing very polite: "Lieutenant Kagura Akihara of the Marine Headquarters, this is Karin, the doctor who treated you. Don't listen to Mr. Madara's jokes about being worse than dead. Karin's medical skills are even better than those of the Op-Op Fruit user."

In fact.

Xianglin's medical technology is indeed excellent.

As one of the earliest followers of Akihara Kagura, Karin has always been one of the biggest beneficiaries. She has long since obtained the power of Yang and can even give life to others out of thin air.

Kizaru watched helplessly as Karin, the red-haired female Marine, simply reached out and patted his arm, causing his wound to feel a slight tingling sensation...

The wounds healed very quickly...

This medical technology…

That's practically a miracle!

As Aokiji watched Kizaru remove the bandages from his body, he saw that Kizaru's wounds were healing rapidly, and he couldn't help but show a look of amazement on his face!

and…

This little girl named Karin…

She has always been by Akihara Kagura's side...

This little girl named Karin seems to be quite strong. No wonder Akihara Kagura has always been so fearless. It seems that he wasn't completely powerless before he obtained the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

"..."

Kizaru's eyes flickered.

Even after his injuries had healed, he dared not make any rash moves.

This pirate crew looks extremely dangerous. Even if they were to escape by transforming into elements, the chances of success wouldn't be very high, and they might even anger the pirate crew...

This admiral wasn't exactly honest; he wasn't exactly a simple, honest fellow to begin with, and he was more cunning than the other two admirals combined…

result.

The Konoha Pirates did nothing.

This pirate crew even provided him with a power called the Cursed Seal.

This power allows Kizaru to learn how to synthesize chakra, which can enhance his strength, but it doesn't explain what drawbacks this cursed seal has.

The only thing that made me unhappy...

It's roughly said that he's been drained of a lot of his life by several projects that like conducting experiments, and one of the red-haired boys has even been able to replicate the laser beam ability...

These guys who play with science are just too geniuses!

Kizaru recalled the experiments he had conducted with the scientist Vegapunk, whom the World Government had secretly imprisoned. Vegapunk had also applied his laser abilities to a war machine called the Pacifista!

"alright."

Kagura Akihara watched as Sasori left a curse mark on Kizaru before getting down to business: "While you were stalling Admiral Kizaru, I found the golden palace left in the desert by the Queen of Alabasta, who participated in the creation of the World Government eight hundred years ago. It should contain a sealed blank of one hundred years of history..."

"..."

Aokiji's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is terrifying..."

Kizaru's expression also revealed a strange look.

The purpose of this pirate crew fighting me is actually to keep me, their admiral, here so that their men can secretly search for some golden palace.

The Queen of Alabasta eight hundred years ago…

Even a blank century or something...

Even though Kizaru was already very bold and knew many secrets of the World Government, he never expected that this pirate crew would actually target the World Government!

Kizaru instinctively wanted to leave the pirate ship. What this pirate crew was doing was far too dangerous; they were searching for the Void Century!

"I thought we were the only ones who knew about this..."

Akihara Kagura spread her palms, seemingly somewhat helpless: "But when I discovered that golden palace, I seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism, and the magnetic field of the entire Alabasta changed..."

Does that golden palace really exist?

Even Hashirama Senju, the captain of the Konoha Pirates, was surprised. He clearly sensed the terrifying change in the magnetic force and thought it was Akihara Kagura Inui!

"Did you do this?"

Tobirama Senju's question was quite cryptic.

"Kagura-kun".

Orochimaru chuckled slightly, his question becoming even more direct: "This kind of mistake shouldn't happen to you. Was it intentional, or accidental?"

"It was an accident on my part..."

Kagura Akihara leaned against the railing, seemingly utterly unafraid of the Konoha Pirates: "Anyway, the situation has changed. Everyone in Alabasta must have noticed the anomaly in the central desert area because of that change in magnetic force..."

"..."

Aokiji and Kizaru's gazes turned strange.

This naval lieutenant seems a bit strange, making such a big fuss about this matter, as if he deliberately doesn't want the Konoha Pirates to know this secret alone...

The magnetic field strength of the entire Alabasta Kingdom and even the surrounding islands changed the moment Akihara Kagura used Magnet Release to forge the Golden Palace.

nature…

This matter has certainly attracted the attention of some people with ulterior motives.

Whether it was the Straw Hat Pirates, the Buggy Pirates, or Crocodile hiding in the Rain Banquet, they all noticed the abnormal magnetic field in the center of the desert at this moment.

Not only that.

Even the navy noticed this anomaly.

Just then, a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) rang.

Aokiji had no choice but to pick up his Den Den Mushi and press the answer button. Smoker's voice immediately came through: "Kuzan, it seems there's something terrifying hiding in Alabasta. A lot of people are discussing the Log Pose malfunctioning just now..."

"I see."

Aokiji glanced at Kizaru, then looked at the quiet Konoha Pirates, and continued softly, "This matter involves the World Government's secrets, and you don't need to get involved."

"Even if we wanted to avoid getting involved, it would be very troublesome..."

Smoker glanced at the bustling port city and said in a deep voice, "A lot of guys are itching to go on an adventure in the desert. I think I spotted the Whitebeard Pirates' insignia. I'll go grab this guy first..."

While Smoker was speaking, he forgot about what he was reporting to Aokiji and hung up his Den Den Mushi. It seemed that the Navy captain really was going to make an arrest...

"!!!"

Aokiji and Kizaru both had strange expressions on their faces at the same time.

Because they also received some intelligence from Sengoku, including information about Portgas D. Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, being active in Alabasta.

of course.

This is something you can't do casually.

Because the Whitebeard Pirates are too terrifying.

That's the trouble with the ocean.

Normally, the Navy would definitely arrest pirates if they saw them. However, the powerful pirates in the New World are so powerful that they could threaten the Navy's survival. Since any action could have far-reaching consequences, they dare not rashly arrest any troublesome individuals.

This time, the Navy's top brass mobilized almost entirely for the Konoha Pirates, yet they provoked the Whitebeard Pirates while the outcome of the battle was still unknown...

How many admirals can the Navy Headquarters have?

"Should we stop him?"

Kizaru smiled slightly, understanding the situation: "While he's a commendable Marine, now's not the time to provoke Whitebeard's wrath..."

"Smoker..."

Aokiji rubbed his forehead and said softly, "He's probably no match for Fire Fist Ace, but there's no need to worry about anything..."

just now…

There are more important things to do.

Aokiji glanced at the Konoha Pirates and spoke up, "To facilitate our infiltration of the Marines, I need to report to Fleet Admiral Sengoku about the magnetic field anomalies in the Alabasta Kingdom. I also need to tell him that the investigation into the Konoha Pirates has yielded results. The Konoha Pirates have successfully located the golden crypt left behind by the Queen of Alabasta eight hundred years ago, and this has attracted the attention of Alabasta..."

"..."

Kizaru's expression became even more bizarre.

Aokiji…

Is he an undercover agent...?

Or is he an undercover agent within an undercover agent?

Kizaru felt as if he had guessed some truth.

Neither Akihara Kagura nor Aokiji seemed genuinely committed to working for the Konoha Pirates; they both had their own motives…

One deliberately caused a commotion while searching for the Alabasta Queen's Golden Palace, not wanting the Konoha Pirates to keep the secrets of the Golden Palace to themselves. The other wanted to take the opportunity to report what was happening here to the Marine Admiral. The Konoha Pirates had no reason to stop Aokiji.

after all…

The magnetic field in Alabasta is extremely volatile.

Aokiji reported the events in Alabasta directly to Fleet Admiral Sengoku. Sengoku was also somewhat taken aback and could only hastily order his warships to speed up their journey.

"Let's go to that golden underground palace first."

Sasori of the Red Sand offered a suggestion, saying in a deep voice, "Before the Fleet Admiral arrives, let's uncover the secrets of the Golden Palace..."

"OK."

Akihara Kagura didn't object much and slowly said, "Then I'll leave with the two admirals first. It's not good if the Navy and pirates are seen on the same ship; it'll inevitably raise suspicions of collusion..."

"Admiral Kizaru, please stay here for now."

Sasori of the Red Sand raised his objection, speaking up, "We still need his cooperation to help us with light experiments for a few days. We can't guarantee his loyalty right now, and his abilities are quite troublesome. It won't be easy to capture him next time..."

"I will persuade him."

Akihara Kagura frowned slightly, as if trying to figure out how to rescue this admiral from the Konoha Pirates.

"..."

The Konoha Pirates arrogantly and unreasonably rejected Akihara Kagura's request.

Kuzukiryu still dragged the large ship and swam towards the depths of the Alabasta River, leaving Aokiji, Akihara Kagura, and Karin behind.

As for Admiral Kizaru…

This admiral will only be able to stay on the pirate ship for a few more days.

but…

Kizaru has an excellent mentality.

The admiral even waved goodbye to Akihara Kagura, Aokiji, and the others, as he wanted to stay on the pirate ship to continue exploring its secrets!

"Whose side are you on?"

Aokiji felt he couldn't quite figure out where Akihara Kagura was standing.

Akihara Kagura smiled and asked with interest, "If I said I would stand on the side of justice and fairness by any means necessary, would Admiral Aokiji believe me?"

"..."

Aokiji believed that he should believe it in his heart.

"Let's go."

As Akihara Kagura watched the massive pirate ship sail away, she said softly, "The Konoha Pirates aren't able to dig out the golden palace left behind by the Queen of Alabasta yet. The palace is surrounded by quicksand, and only Crocodile, the user of the Sand-Sand Fruit, could possibly excavate it. At least we can delay it until the Fleet Admiral arrives..."

"but…"

Aokiji frowned, seemingly unsure whether to speak: "Even if the Fleet Admiral and Vice Admiral Garp arrived, they couldn't possibly defeat the Konoha Pirates..."

"Why bother dealing with them...?"

Akihara Kagura actually laughed, and said with great interest, "I just don't want that golden palace that hides historical secrets to be used by the Konoha Pirates. The truth hidden there should be known by more people..."

"..."

Karin couldn't help but glance at him slightly.

If she didn't know that her superior was the mastermind behind the Konoha Pirates, she might have believed Akihara Kagura's story at this moment...

Of course...

Aokiji, being completely unaware of the situation, must have been tricked.

As Aokiji looked at Akihara Kagura's figure, he seemed to see an Ohara scholar who had allied with dark forces in order to uncover historical secrets.

"Puff puff..."

The Den Den Mushi rang again.

"Hey, Kuzan, do me a favor..."

Just as Aokiji answered the Den Den Mushi, an old man's voice came through: "I've heard Sengoku mention the strength of that pirate crew. This battle is probably going to be very dangerous, isn't it?"

"Lieutenant General Garp..."

Aokiji's expression gradually turned serious. He could no longer hide the truth from the old man who had always taken such good care of him: "That's indeed the case... That pirate crew has at least three enemies who can rival Whitebeard..."

Even more complicated...

Because Aokiji understands Kizaru, he and Kizaru will definitely not side with each other in this battle.

finally…

It was probably only a battle between three veteran naval officers: Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru.

Garp's voice came through the Den Den Mushi, sounding somewhat aged: "Help me drive those two brats out of Alabasta, or you can just throw them in Impel Down... This battle isn't something they can participate in..."

but…

If those two kids find out...

It's inevitable that some might recklessly get involved.

Alabasta is clearly about to involve the secrets of the World Government, something two kids can't possibly get involved in...

the other side.

Ports in Alabasta.

Two Logia-type Devil Fruit users are clashing!

Flames and smoke each occupied half the area, entangled together wildly!

One of them is Marine Headquarters Captain Smoker, who is searching for the Straw Hat crew, and the other is the great pirate Portgas D. Ace, who is also looking for Straw Hat Luffy!

Ace was adopted by Vice Admiral Garp from a young age and raised by the bandit Dadan, just like Monkey D. Luffy. He and Luffy are sworn brothers. He set sail three years earlier than his younger brother Luffy and became a famous pirate very early on. He was inspired by Whitebeard and chose to join the world's most powerful Whitebeard Pirates.

This time, Ace was only there to hunt down Blackbeard Teach, but he happened to find his brother's wanted poster and decided to try to see him.

Therefore, Ace waited in Alabasta for a week, and happened to meet Smoker at the port. Before the two were ready to fight, their common target, Straw Hat Luffy, appeared!

Smoker immediately abandoned Ace and went after Luffy, who might pose a greater threat!

Ace, naturally unwilling, took the initiative to save his younger brother and also took care of a group of Baroque Works henchmen who were chasing Luffy.

On the Going Merry.

The Straw Hat crew arrived at the ship ahead of time to avoid the Navy.

After Ace repelled Smoker and Baroque Works' pursuers, he boarded the small boat and politely thanked the Straw Hat crew. He also wanted to take the Going Merry to his next stop in Alabasta.

result…

While the Going Merry was on its way, it encountered three more people who wanted to hitch a ride.

On the edge of a cliff on the Alabasta River, someone stood and waved to them.

A very tall man, a very kind-looking man, and a red-haired girl who looks irritable.

"I was right...they really are going to enter Alabasta along the inland river..."

Kagura Akihara, watching the Going Merry sailing on the inland river, once again demonstrated to Aokiji that he was a man known for his intelligence but lacking in combat prowess: "If you want to help Vice Admiral Garp, then just stop them here..."
