Chapter 422: Crocodile… He Definitely Got Pluton!
Chapter 422: Crocodile… He Definitely Got Pluton!
Had he finally come to this step?
The brilliance of human nature cannot be completely concealed after all.
Originally, Uehara planned to get to know each other and leave a good impression on himself, but now it sounded like Dragon…
Was this guy trying to rope him into the revolutionary army?
At this time, of course, he had to refuse.
According to Uehara’s experience, what he got easily would not be cherished.
Of course, when he refused, he had to show his noble character, that he was willing to protect the weak and show his helplessness in life.
Uehara shook his head and looked at Dragon; he said, “I’m sorry. You guessed wrong. I’m not a kind person. Otherwise, I would not have joined the Baroque Works. I was just looking for a place to survive.”
After saying this, Uehara said, “As for saving innocent people like Miss Dadan, I only did what I could because I had the ability. I am just a coward.”
At this time, it would be good to be humble.
When Dragon and Sabo brought Dadan back to Foosha Village, they would inevitably talk about Uehara if Sabo chatted with Luffy and Makino.
At that time, they would learn about Uehara’s struggle and kindness from Luffy and Makino.
After all, what a person voluntarily tells others was not as credible as the intelligence that others quietly collect from other channels.
After Dragon heard Uehara’s words, the smile on his face became more and more meaningful, “Oh… you can only do some small things?”
Dragon smiled and continued to ask, “But Mr. Uehara, have you thought of another question? What if you are not surrounded by the evil members of the Baroque Works but a group of people who have the same thoughts as you?”
Dragon’s voice suddenly lowered. He quietly continued, “No matter how strong a person can become, there is a limit to his strength. But if he is united with more like-minded people, he can save more weak people in the world…”
“I know.”
Uehara shook his head and interrupted Dragon. He clenched his fist and whispered, “I want to become a marine… with many marine soldiers… to protect the villages and towns that pirates invaded…”
“…”
Dragon’s eyes couldn’t help but tremble.
This was also normal. Once the like-minded partners and righteous factions were mentioned, the people of this world would always think of the marine. The existence of the revolutionary army was indeed very low.
In many people’s eyes, the revolutionary army was a group of criminals.
“But Mr. Uehara can’t join the marine, right?”
There was a hint of regret in Dragon’s voice. He seemed to feel the same, “Moreover, the marine has been under World Government’s jurisdiction for a long time. It is not the real justice. What they protect is only World Government’s authority…”
“I know.”
Uehara looked at Dragon and said softly, “Because the vice president of our Baroque Works, Miss Nico Robin, was the only survivor of the Ohara incident, while all the innocent people in Ohara were killed by the marine.”
After saying that, Uehara continued, “But so what? My strength is only this little… I just want to do something that I can do… I have no right to think about anything else.”
“…”
“No.”
Dragon shook his head and continued with a smile, “Mr. Uehara, who has such awareness and thoughts, is already better than many people in the sea!”
After that, Dragon slowly stretched out his palm, took off his hat, and said with a smile, “Let me introduce myself. I am Dragon, a revolutionist who is looking for like-minded people.”
“Dragon?”
After a second of confusion, Uehara showed a hint of panic on his face, “Wait… you are the most ferocious criminal in that world! You are the revolutionary army!”
After saying that, Uehara even involuntarily took a few steps back. His forehead tightened, and he said in a deep voice, “Sorry, let’s say goodbye here!”
This Dragon, why did he reveal his cards?
Can’t everyone continue to hide their identities and have a good chat? If Dragon directly revealed his cards like this, it would be difficult for Uehara to continue acting!
If he said anything at this time, it would arouse suspicion!
“Wait…”
Dragon hurriedly reached out to stop Uehara and explained softly, “Mr. Uehara, the revolutionary army will not threaten any companions. We will not hurt you…”
“No.”
Uehara hurriedly shook his head and said in a low voice, “Your revolutionary army. People like me can’t afford to interfere… Moreover, the revolutionary army is the enemy that the Baroque Works want to eliminate. I must not be discovered and stay with you!”
The peace between them was instantly broken.
Even Dadan and Sabo could not help but look at them.
“Mr. Uehara.”
Dragon shook his head slowly and explained softly, “I just hope you can understand more about the revolutionary army. You have seen enough darkness in a criminal organization like the Baroque Works, right?”.com
At this point, Dragon slowly put down his arm and continued in a low voice, “The people who understand Mr. Uehara the most in this world must be us. If one day, Mr. Uehara can understand it, you are welcome to join our team at any time.”
“I understand.”
Uehara nodded hurriedly.
After he finished speaking, he did not stay any longer and quickly left this place.
Dragon watched him leave, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, “Sabo, if there is a chance in the future, you can chat with this Uehara Naraku. I believe he is destined to be our companion.”
“Yes, Mr. Dragon.”
Sabo nodded seriously.
When they arrived at the port, the ship of the revolutionary army suffered heavy losses, and the Baroque Works had plundered part of the supplies on the ship.
Dragon did not care about being robbed by the Baroque Works. Anyway, he learned from Uehara that the revolutionary army and the Baroque Works were already enemies.
In the future, they had to be careful of this criminal organization.
After dark, the ship of the revolutionary army left Shimotsuki Village and headed in the direction of Foosha Village. They would put Dadan down here.
They would also learn some things about Uehara from Foosha Village.
For example, Uehara risked his life to save Luffy from the Baroque Works higher-ups; for example, to save some innocent store owners, Uehara used his own savings and pretended that it was the funds that had been robbed from the store.
Now, everything about Uehara had been arranged properly.
The rest of the time was to wait for the harvest time.
“The revolutionary army will definitely believe that I am a good person.”
Uehara casually looked at the news that the Shichibukai Doflamingo was defeated by Sasuke and whispered, “Let’s go, let’s take the reverse mountain back to Grand Line… and treat our boss, Mr. Crocodile, well! “
“According to the people that Baroque Works have offended…”
Nico Robin frowned and asked, “I’m afraid it will be difficult for the Grand Line people to believe that Crocodile is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Baroque Works?”
After all, Crocodile was just a Shichibukai.
Now that Baroque Works has offended the Marine, World Government, and the Revolutionary Army if we rashly push the blame to Crocodile…
It was indeed hard to believe.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Uehara casually flipped through the newspaper and said, “Isn’t Crocodile’s purpose in Alabasta to find Pluton?”
Uehara looked up at Nico Robin and continued with a smile, “We might as well let the people who are about to be arrested know that Crocodile has got the Ancient Weapon Pluton. Isn’t that enough?”
Nico Robin frowned and said, “But Crocodile and I haven’t found the historical text that records the clue to Pluton…”
“It’s none of our business.”
Uehara slowly closed his palm and chuckled, “Who knows if Mr. Crocodile got it? We said he got it… Then he got it! As for where he hid Pluton, let the marine investigate it!”
The smile on Uehara’s face was a little evil, “Let Crocodile explain it himself! Let’s see if the Marine Fleet Admiral, Sengoku, and World Government will believe it… Anyway, they don’t know Pluton’s whereabouts!”
“…”
Nico Robin looked at Uehara speechlessly.
This was really a good subordinate!
Originally, it was miserable for Crocodile to offend so many people, but Uehara would also arrange the matter of Pluton on Crocodile.
Once everyone was known that Crocodile had the Ancient Weapon Pluton, the monsters in the latter half of the Grand Line might be tempted!
“The only pity is…”
Uehara shook his head and sighed with emotion, “I have worked hard for this trip for so long, but the marine actually didn’t plan to recruit me and even changed my wanted poster…
I really hope that I can become a marine spy so that I can take this opportunity to expose everything about Crocodile directly!”
“…”
Nico Robin looked at Uehara speechlessly.
After a while, she whispered, “We have already planted Aokiji in the marine. He is our spy in the marine. It doesn’t matter if Mr. Uehara can get involved with the marine, right?”
“You don’t understand.”
Uehara asked, “If a stranger suddenly tells you that he is the person behind the scenes of this world, would you feel anything?”
Uehara stood on the ship’s bow and said softly to the sea breeze, “If I have always been a trustworthy person in your eyes and suddenly tell you that I am the person behind the scenes of this world, what will you feel…”
“…”
Nico Robin fell into silence.
After all, it’s nothing to do with her.
Just as Uehara was still regretting that he hadn’t been recruited by the marine, a Rear Admiral who was ordered to recruit Uehara also had a headache.
Rear Admiral X Drake.
This Rear Admiral looked a little rough.
Drake had been in East Blue for several days, but he still hadn’t found any trace of the Baroque Works. He finally understood why Fleet Admiral wanted him to recruit a member of Baroque Works to become the first member of the SWORD secret force.
If there was no undercover…
It wasn’t easy to find the Baroque Works members!
“These Baroque Works members are too good at hiding…”
Drake’s expression was very ugly. He stood in front of East Blue’s map and sighed faintly, “Even the ordinary members of the Baroque Works can’t be found, let alone looking for traces of Uehara on the sea…”
