Chapter 538: Chapter 436: Someone’s Actually Trying to Outsmart Them!

Aokiji scratched the back of his head and spoke slowly, "Hmm, this guy... seems a bit troublesome... looks like I’ll need some reinforcements to grab him; is that right?"

"But you’re an Admiral!"

"Hmm, there’s nothing that can be done about it!"

Aokiji glanced at the rolling sand waves behind the ice wall and said, "You saw it too; this guy’s power is pretty strong... after all, he’s also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. It would be exhausting to defeat him... Can you think of something?"

"..."

Vice Admiral Drake was speechless.

Call for reinforcements just because it feels tiring?

And what could he possibly think of! Even calling for a Buster Call would be too late! Especially since this is the interior of Alabasta, and battleships can’t possibly come here!

At the edge of the desert.

Uehara Naraku sensed the battle in the distance, looked at the people around him, and sighed, "Aokiji’s acting isn’t good at all. When will you guys get on stage? Let me remind you, Crocodile has now become a One-tailed Jinchuriki..."

"Don’t worry, Uehara-sama."

Hoshigaki Kisame couldn’t help but grin, glancing at everyone present. "Our Akatsuki should be the best at capturing Jinchuriki, right?"

"Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm..."

Deidara pulled out a clay doll from his hand and said with a grin, "The last One-tailed Jinchuriki died quite miserably..."

Sasori of the Red Sand couldn’t help but glance at Deidara and said softly, "Be careful this time; last time you lost a hand."

"Sasori-danna, it was just a moment of carelessness..."

Deidara immediately pouted unhappily.

"Senior Sasori is right."

Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses and said softly, "This Crocodile as a One-tailed Jinchuriki is not the same as Gaara; the power combined with One-tailed Shukaku and the Sand-Sand Fruit is definitely beyond imagination..."

"Doesn’t matter."

Uehara Naraku took a sip of juice, waved his hand, and said, "The One-tailed Shukaku inside Crocodile is on our side... if you encounter danger, I’ll have Shukaku quietly show up to help."

Everyone: "..."

So they’ve placed an undercover agent inside the enemy!

At that moment, Yakushi Kabuto suddenly remembered something and smiled faintly, "That’s truly Uehara-sama for you, and perhaps in the future, we could consider a similar method of placing an undercover agent inside another Navy Admiral?"

For example, placing a Four-tailed Son Goku within Admiral Akainu. This would undoubtedly give Akainu more power but also make him susceptible to the Four-tails inside him.

It’s important to know that...

Tail Beasts aren’t just an aid!

Sometimes, Tail Beasts can also take lives!

"Hey, that’s a pretty good suggestion."

Uehara Naraku stroked his chin, slowly nodded, and said, "Let’s find an opportunity to arrange for Admiral Akainu later!"

After Uehara Naraku finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "As for now, you guys go support Aokiji! This time, you can hit Crocodile a bit harder; just let him escape alive!"

Uehara Naraku’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile, "When he flees to the waters near Alabasta, Robin will appear to save him at his most desperate moment..."

"..."

Nico Robin sighed helplessly, rubbed her forehead, and said in a low voice, "Crocodile-san certainly won’t expect that this will be the beginning of his real despair..."

After speaking, Nico Robin couldn’t help but add, "Mr. Uehara, aren’t you going to support them now?"

"Don’t worry about Aokiji’s power; have a little confidence in him!"

Uehara Naraku’s eyelid twitched, and he said softly, "That’s a Navy Headquarters Admiral, the highest combat force of the World Government. If anything, you should be worried about his acting skills!"

Uehara Naraku glanced at Yakushi Kabuto next to him and instructed, "Alright, now give our Vice Admiral Drake a call! Tell him someone here is making demands!"

"Yes."

After Yakushi Kabuto nodded, he dialed Drake’s Radio Snail and said softly, "Vice Admiral Drake, there’s a bit of a problem on my side. Some advanced agents from Baroque Works have surrounded me and Uehara Naraku..."

"What?"

Vice Admiral Drake’s voice contained a hint of tension: "Kabuto, are you alright over there?"

This operation is really not going smoothly!

Crocodile and Admiral Aokiji have unexpectedly gotten into a fierce battle, and on the other side, Yakushi Kabuto was also surrounded by agents from Baroque Works. He felt like he had fallen into a trap!

Could it be that Uehara Naraku has deceived them?

Fortunately, Yakushi Kabuto provided one piece of good news, finally allowing Vice Admiral Drake to relax: "No, these advanced agents intend to betray Baroque Works... they originally infiltrated it with other intentions."

"What do you mean?"

"These people have long wanted to seize Crocodile’s position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea but have always been fearful of Crocodile’s power and didn’t dare to betray him.

Now, upon hearing the Navy has revoked his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they hope to assist us in defeating Crocodile so they can obtain his title of Warlord."

Yakushi Kabuto looked at the crowd around him and continued over the Radio Snail: "The one with the highest bounty, Hoshigaki Kisame, claimed he knows Crocodile’s weakness and can help us kill Crocodile, but his condition is that he must replace Crocodile as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

"..."

Vice Admiral Drake remained silent.

After a while, Vice Admiral Drake looked at the battlefield situation and said in a deep voice, "I’ll report this matter to Marshal Sengoku first. You keep them appeased!"

After saying that, Vice Admiral Drake immediately hung up the Radio Snail and reported to Navy Admiral Sengoku, who gave his permission. He then contacted Yakushi Kabuto again. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Vice Admiral Drake said in a deep voice, "Tell those pirates, whoever can kill Crocodile can obtain his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

"..."

Everyone present fell into silence.

Damn, they’re trying to play tricks on our Akatsuki?

Such petty tricks, trying to play them on us?

Sasori of the Red Sand immediately reached out, took the Radio Snail from Yakushi Kabuto, and said coldly, "No need for this nonsense. To kill Crocodile would require all three Admirals of the World Government to come out!"

"Then what can you do?"

Vice Admiral Drake’s voice was slightly hoarse.

Sasori of the Red Sand continued, "At best, we can defeat him, so the Navy doesn’t lose too badly, after all, that’s Sand Crocodile Crocodile!

I infiltrated Baroque Works just to take his head and obtain his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. If we didn’t know his weaknesses, even if you dispatched an Admiral, you wouldn’t be able to defeat him..."

"There’s only one position among the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

But isn’t there too many traitors among you in Baroque Works!

Why didn’t they step out earlier? The moment Crocodile was besieged by the Navy, you all jumped out!

Vice Admiral Drake suppressed his complaints and spoke in a deep voice, "Only one of you can take this position. After the battle, I’ll report to the Marshal and select the strongest and most contributing one among you!"

"Then... it’s a deal."
