Chapter 567: Chapter 461: Young Men Like Yakushi Kabuto Are Rare

Uchiha Itachi.

Not many people in this world have heard of this name; all along, Uchiha Sasuke, capable of standing against the Four Emperors, has obviously been more famous.

Upon hearing that Uchiha Itachi is Sasuke’s brother, Doflamingo’s smile grew wider, and he softly asked, "Is this person... very strong?"

"How should I say this..."

Hoshigaki Kisame grinned, then chuckled, "Mr. Itachi may not be as strong as that master of ours, but he’s definitely not someone you can underestimate..."

Uchiha Itachi rarely lost in his life.

Regrettably, he lost twice, both times miserably.

The first time, he deliberately lost to Uchiha Sasuke and lost his life;

The second time, he lost to Uehara Naraku, suffering greatly, manipulated to death, and even after dying, continued to be controlled.

"Watch closely..."

Hoshigaki Kisame grinned again, smiling as he continued, "Mr. Itachi’s significance as reinforcements... is far more motivating to Sasuke than anyone else!

This war is about to end... Let’s capture a few pirates symbolically and leave; we can’t let Kabuto’s strategy look too bad!"

"Fufufufufu... That’s true."

Doflamingo nodded with a smile, speaking softly, "Earlier that master seemed to send us a message, asking which few people to leave?"

"Portgas D. Ace, Marshall D. Teach."

Hoshigaki Kisame named two people, then slowly closed his palm, "Leave these two; capture the rest, count them as Kabuto’s spoils of war!"

"Fufufufufu... Interesting."

Doflamingo nodded, instantly flicking out white threads from his palm, swiftly controlling members of the 2nd Squad of pirates!

This kind of war is genuinely interesting, with most of the enemies being their own people; their own are fine, while others suffer.

To Doflamingo, that’s entertaining.

This is the life of a manipulative mastermind.

Center of the battlefield. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Hoshigaki Kisame was right; the reinforcements sent by Uehara Naraku weren’t particularly formidable, but it was entirely different for Uchiha Sasuke!

Even Uchiha Madara...

Was overshadowed by Uchiha Itachi’s arrival!

Uchiha Sasuke dispelled his Susanoo, looking at Uchiha Itachi full of disbelief, murmuring, "...That guy resurrected you again? Nii-san..."

"Sasuke."

Uchiha Itachi’s Sharingan fixated on the three in the distance, solemnly speaking, "He sent me to aid you; let’s leave this dangerous place first and talk later!"

"Alright."

Uchiha Sasuke was very obedient.

To be honest, he suffered greatly for his brother’s soul, not expecting Uehara Naraku to have already reincarnated Uchiha Itachi!

Sasuke still wanted to curse...

That bastard Uehara Naraku...

In such a dangerous time, Uehara Naraku sent Uchiha Itachi deep into peril to save him, clearly intending to use the two brothers again!

The problem is...

The two brothers seem unable to escape Uehara Naraku’s control.

"Who are you?"

Admiral Akainu coldly stared at Uchiha Itachi.

Hawk Eye Mihawk and Vice Admiral Garp approached, gradually encircling the Uchiha brothers, each wearing a slightly heavy expression.

The Uchiha brothers now face three of the world’s top fighters, yet Uchiha Itachi, being a Reanimation Body, has the ability to die infinitely unless a soul-related ability appears, giving Uchiha Itachi at least a fighting chance.

"Akatsuki..."

Uchiha Itachi instantly uttered a name, causing everyone’s expression to shift, then immediately revealed his own name!

"Uchiha Itachi!"

To be honest.

Everyone’s mood became subtly complex.

Because Uchiha Itachi was the first to openly reveal his name, while most present had a hidden identity within Akatsuki; unexpectedly, Uchiha Itachi was the first to expose it!

Honestly, a bit envious.

After all, concealing one’s identity and acting as a spy, apart from their leader Uehara Naraku, who has that patience?

"Akatsuki... Uchiha... Itachi..."

Vice Admiral Garp couldn’t help but frown.

Just hearing the name suggests difficulty; this surname is identical to Uchiha Sasuke’s, his abilities are quite similar to Uchiha Sasuke’s...

This person is extremely troublesome!

Admiral Akainu’s expression was somewhat complex; his aura was slightly unstable. How come there’s another member of Akatsuki?

Admiral Akainu slowly spoke, "Akatsuki is an organization I heard about while capturing a pirate.

It’s said to be a crime syndicate operating behind the scenes, claiming to stand for justice and peace, yet they hardly ever show themselves..."

"I’ve never heard of this name."

Hawk Eye Mihawk shook his head, softly saying, "They’ve never appeared in the seas, likely a small unknown organization..."

"..."

Admiral Akainu remained silent.

Although Akainu didn’t speak, he roughly knew that Hawk Eye Mihawk might eventually settle matters with Uehara Naraku...

That guy... sure holds grudges!

Hawkeye claims he hasn’t heard of it, then he will likely hear about this organization soon, accompanied by a round of beating...

"I haven’t heard of it either."

Vice Admiral Garp thought for a while, then shook his head and laughed heartily: "Hahaha... forget it, let’s go back and ask Sengoku, I guess he should know..."

This is typical Garp thinking.

Whenever he encounters any problem that requires thought and recall, he will go to Sengoku the Buddha or directly throw the problem at him to think.

"No matter who you are..."

Akainu’s face showed a cold look, staring intently at Uchiha Itachi and said in a deep voice: "Uchiha Sasuke will definitely stay here today!"

"That’s impossible."

A phantom of Susanoo emerged from Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke, and both of them activated Susanoo, fitting armor onto their half-body Susanoo!

The red Susanoo and the purple Susanoo appeared on this battlefield, each holding their weapons!

"Then let me try first..."

Uchiha Itachi manipulated Susanoo to slowly wield a giant sake gourd, and in the next moment, a red longsword comprised seemingly of liquid sprang out of the gourd!

This is indeed the divine artifact Totsuka Blade of Susanoo!

The Totsuka Blade abruptly shot toward Vice Admiral Garp, directly piercing the old man’s body, stunning everyone on the scene!

What negligence!

How could this happen to Garp!

The next moment, Vice Admiral Garp’s body was dragged towards the Totsuka Blade, even he could not resist this legendary divine artifact!

The moment Garp was hit by the Totsuka Blade, he felt as if his body was merging into it. However, in the next moment, powerful Armament Haki erupted from Garp, isolating the power of the Totsuka Blade from him!

Yet even as the liquid blade of the Totsuka Blade was pushed apart, it still clung tightly from both sides, attempting to pull Garp back in!

Mihawk also suddenly swung his black blade, delivering a powerful slash that severed the liquid Totsuka Blade, hurriedly rescuing Garp!

"Hmm?"

Uchiha Itachi’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, softly saying: "This is the first time someone has been able to resist the power of the Totsuka Blade..."

Uchiha Sasuke’s expression was somewhat peculiarly looking at his brother: "Nii-san, this is the first time I’ve seen you use the Totsuka Blade too..."

"..."

For a moment, the scene was a bit awkward.

Uchiha Itachi had never used his divine artifact in front of Uchiha Sasuke until now, except for displaying the Yata Mirror...

"Let me do it!"

Uchiha Sasuke manipulated his purple Susanoo into transforming into a large purple bow, and a huge black flame arrow suddenly shot out, targeting directly at Hawk Eye Mihawk!

This gigantic black flame arrow was shrouded with Amaterasu’s fire and Armament Haki!

No matter who gets hit by this arrow, it wouldn’t be pleasant!

"That black flame, very dangerous!"

Mihawk immediately assessed, swinging his black blade to unleash a slash that cleanly sliced the giant black flame arrow in two!

Countless black flames fell onto the ground...

"Amaterasu!"

Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi both spun their Mangekyo Sharingan, sharply chanting out their power!

The next moment, the black flames of Amaterasu engulfed Hawk Eye Mihawk, Vice Admiral Garp, and Admiral Akainu in an instant!

"My ability is magma..."

Akainu’s fist gradually turned into magma, throwing a punch at Amaterasu’s fire, attempting to cover the black flames with magma!

Yet in the next moment, Amaterasu’s black flames burned even more intensely, scorching the magma directly, seemingly about to spread to Akainu!

Fortunately, a red Chakra Tailed Beast Cloak emerged from Akainu, cocooning Amaterasu’s fire onto the ground, sparing Akainu from disaster...

Akainu looked at the ground fire, his voice becoming somewhat gloomy: "This fire... can even burn magma!"

"There is nothing Amaterasu cannot burn."

Uchiha Sasuke explained briefly, instantly using Amaterasu’s fire to construct layers of net trapping Akainu and the others!

"Nii-san, let’s go!"

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at his brother, and both dispelled Susanoo, swiftly moving towards the direction of the 2nd Squad!

The next moment, a slash suddenly sliced through Amaterasu!

Hawk Eye Mihawk chased through the gap straight towards Uchiha Sasuke, with Vice Admiral Garp and Akainu following closely!

"Don’t chase after them."

Yakushi Kabuto’s voice reached Akainu and the others, his voice calmly stating: "Admiral Sakazuki, Vice Admiral Garp, Lord Mihawk, our achievements are already plentiful, now is not the time for full-scale war with the Whitebeard Pirates."

"Indeed."

Vice Admiral Tsuru approvingly glanced at Yakushi Kabuto.

Though they hadn’t captured any key cadres of the Whitebeard Pirates, this ambush directly crushed the 2nd Squad of the Whitebeard Pirates, and it also counts as defeating Uchiha Sasuke and Portgas D. Ace and company.

Hoshigaki Kisame and Doflamingo also captured several prisoners.

Now that Uchiha Sasuke’s reinforcements have arrived, continuing the battle might only cause greater losses; it’s better to call a halt and end the fight.

Vice Admiral Tsuru took over from Yakushi Kabuto, gently persuading: "Kizaru is still recovering in Mary Geoise. This is not the time to provoke Whitebeard, the chance to capture Uchiha Sasuke has passed."

After speaking, Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at the three who had stopped fighting, then at Yakushi Kabuto, who showed slight regret in his expression, increasingly satisfied.

Perhaps she can really let go of her responsibilities.

Yakushi Kabuto, this young Navy strategist, is remarkably clever, yet not impetuous or aggressive.

Even if sacrificing Akainu, Garp, and others could result in greater achievements, Yakushi Kabuto chose to abandon for the greater good, indeed the most suitable candidate in the entire Navy.

Young people like Yakushi Kabuto are truly rare.
