Chapter 551 - A Vice Admiral Taken as a Hostage
Chapter 551 - A Vice Admiral Taken as a Hostage
When Shanks heard Madara’s words, he fell silent. This guy was indeed the one who injured Sasuke!
If not for Madara…
Perhaps Ace would not have been arrested!
The new world actually has a saying…
The strength of the Uchiha clan was very strong!
Every Uchiha was very difficult to deal with. There seems to be a person called Obito on Beast Pirates’ side. It was said that he saved Kaido when he was in a difficult situation…
But…
It was because they were too strong that they seemed to be unconvinced. Each Uchiha seemed to have joined different pirate groups and organizations.
Sasuke lived more freely and joined the Whitebeard Pirates; Itachi joined the Akatsuki Organization; Obito seemed to have joined the Beast Pirates; Did this Madara choose to join the World Government?
If he were a person who could stand against Sasuke, then Enies Lobby’s combat strength would be somewhat terrifying. Even Shanks did not think that he could hold the advantage. It was not so simple to save Ace…
“Really…”
Shanks rubbed his eyebrows and said softly, “I came here to end the war, not to start another world war…”
Speaking of this, Shanks looked up at Vice Admiral Garp and then looked at Madara, “I wonder if you are interested in exchanging hostages? We happened to meet a Vice Admiral on the way to Enies Lobby and invited him to be a guest on our ship. Although the hostages may not be enough, can we still talk?”
Shanks wanted to use an ordinary Vice Admiral as a hostage in exchange for Portgas D. Ace, so the weight was definitely not enough!
Especially since Enies Lobby’s combat strength seemed to be not weak!
But…
This was also an option that Shanks gave the World Government.
No matter what, Shanks was determined to take Fire Fist Ace away!
As for whether the World Government chose to release Ace in exchange for the hostage or let him stay as a hostage, the Five Elder Stars would have to think about it themselves…
In any case, these two things would make the World Government lose some face.
What’s more, the identity of this Vice Admiral was not simple, because this Vice Admiral used to be a spy and knows a lot of secrets about the CP department…
If such a Vice Admiral fell into the hands of pirates and once those secrets were dug out, it might cause the World Government a headache!
“Vice Admiral…”
Madara coldly snorted and said indifferently, “You caught a Vice Admiral. Does it have anything to do with us?”
“Don’t say that…”
A smile appeared on Shanks’ face, “Trust me; he really has something to do with you guys. You can ask that guy Kabuto. Maybe you guys might really agree to exchange hostages!”
“Wait…”
Garp’s face was a bit ugly. His face flashed with anger, “Who did you catch? If you dare to hurt someone…”
“No, we actually got along quite well.”
Shanks shook his head and looked at his vice-captain beside him with a smile, “Benn Beckman, see if our Vice Admiral Uehara Naraku is awake. If he is awake, bring him here!”
“Oh, are we going to separate now?”
Lucky Roux shook his head and sighed, “Actually, Uehara is an interesting person. I really didn’t expect that there would be such an interesting person in the marine…”
Yes.
Red Hair Pirates met Uehara.
Originally, after Uehara left Jaya, he drove his own warship back to Marineford and also visit Enies Lobby on the way back.
As a result…
He met Red Hair Pirates.
Shanks warmly invited Uehara to be a guest on the Red Force.
As an ordinary Vice Admiral, Uehara could not refuse the invitation of a Yonko(Four Emperors).
Of course.
Shanks knew about Uehara’s past.
When Uehara was still in Baroque Works, he participated in robbing Foosha Village. After this news was spread, Shanks went to Foosha Village privately and learned about Uehara’s character from Makino.
In the past few days…
Shanks and Uehara got along well.
This Vice Admiral was not so pedantic. They were all people who had taken care of Luffy, and they had a common language in this area.
The most important thing was…
Shanks knew that Uehara was a marine spy. After he joined the marine, he personally participated in the matter of subverting Shichibukai, Crocodile!
He just doesn’t know why…
Uehara no longer carried out such a secret mission, and he was even promoted to Vice Admiral. But he seemed to be a little miserable…
At Enies Lobby’s dock.
A man wearing a marine cloak slowly walked down from Red Force. His face still seemed uneasy, as if he had done something wrong.
It was Uehara Naraku.
Benn Beckman pointed his gun at Uehara and continued in a low voice, “Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you. We just want to use you to exchange for Ace…”
“Yes, I understand.”
Uehara glanced at Beckman and carefully said, “Mr. Beckman, there is something you might not know. My relationship with the boss of the CP department, Kabuto, is very bad. He will definitely not agree…”
“It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t agree.”
Benn Beckman shook his head and continued in a low voice, “Anyway, that idiot Shanks mentioned this matter just to try it. What if it succeeds?”
“Alright…”
Uehara nodded slowly and continued in a low voice, “I feel that the CP agents might want to use you guys to kill me…”
“We won’t hurt you.”
Benn Beckman shook his head seriously.
“But…”
Uehara looked at Benn Beckman and asked in a deep voice, “Now you have kidnapped me as a hostage. Have you considered the matter of me returning to the Marine in the future?”
A Vice Admiral who a pirate kidnaped…
How could he have the face to establish themselves in the marine if word got out?
Benn Beckman was silent for a while, then calmly shook his head and whispered, “You will be fine.”
When the group of people saw that Uehara was really escorted down by Benn Beckman, their expressions became a bit shocked, and many people opened their mouths in surprise…
This…
Was it real or fake?
After all, Uehara was the real boss of the current CP department! Did Red Hair Pirates really capture Uehara and want to exchange him for Ace?
Who could tell them what to do now?
Was Uehara really caught, or was he a fake? No matter how they thought about it, it was impossible for this man to be caught, right?
Was this a joke?
Was this guy really not toying with Red Hair Pirates?
Shanks glanced at Uehara, who was walking over and then at the shocked CP agents. He whispered, “Mr. Uehara, your identity seems to be really extraordinary…”
“Yes…”
Uehara nodded slowly and continued in a low voice, “I am probably the most hated person in the entire CP department. Many CP agents died to protect me…”
Therefore…
It also led to a super big change in the CP department.
“Is… is that so?”
Shanks’ expression became a little strange. He could not help but sigh and say, “Too useless… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Uehara shook his head, indicating that he did not care. He even smiled and mocked himself, “I am indeed useless…”
“…”
The expressions of the others present were even stranger than that of Shanks.
The moment Uehara appeared, Madara’s expression suddenly became sinister. He said coldly, “The World Government’s dignity can not be violated… You can kill this Vice Admiral directly. We will avenge him!”
“…”
All the ninjas in the CP department looked at each other speechlessly.
Every ninja could not help but look at Madara. They did not know whether to say something or not. After all, not everyone understood Uehara’s true combat strength…
If Uehara was really caught…
Then no matter what, they had to save him!
Kakashi understood a little. He knew very well who controlled Madara. He looked deeply at Uehara and said in a deep voice, “Listen to Madara-senpai’s order… This is our superior order!”
“…”
Uehara blinked innocently.
At this moment, Kakashi couldn’t help but cough a few times.
A drop of cold sweat appeared on Shanks’ face. He then looked at Uehara speechlessly, “Hey, Mr. Uehara, did you offend their superior, Kabuto?”
“More or less…”
Uehara nodded slowly and said in a low voice, “It’s a mistake to take me as a hostage. They would never care about my safety…”
“This…”
A bitter smile appeared on Shanks’ face.
Why does he feel that these CP agents dare to sacrifice the hostage Uehara without asking their superiors?
Garp looked at Uehara with a complicated expression. He didn’t know what he was thinking in his heart. His fists were clenched little by little.
The next moment…
Garp gritted his teeth.
Just as Garp was about to say something, Madara pulled out his weapon and suddenly slashed at Shanks and Uehara!
Shanks quickly pulled out his sword and sent it flying. He was a little surprised and said, “You guys, do you still want to borrow a knife to kill people?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Kakashi shook his head, his expression still calm, “You people who can only see the surface, you really don’t seem to understand the situation at all…”
What a bunch of idiots!
They actually used Uehara as a hostage…
This Red Hair Pirates…
They were so naive that they didn’t know the consequences of offending Uehara Naraku!
