Behind the Scenes in Naruto World
Chapter 431 - Uehara and the Marine Re-ContactIn the narrow streets of Alabasta Port.
Uehara had just walked in and was directly surrounded by Drake and Kabuto. He couldn’t help but frown slightly.
“I’m Rear Admiral X Drake.”
After standing in front of Uehara, Drake bluntly stated his purpose, “Uehara Naraku of Baroque Works, Captain Hina mentioned you. I am here to invite you to join the marine. The marine will forgive you for your past sins.”
“…”
Uehara’s expression changed slightly.
To be honest, Uehara didn’t expect that Drake would directly invite him to join the marine. Didn’t everyone need to get in touch with him slowly?
“Don’t be puzzled.”
Drake’s face was a little serious. He continued, “We found out what you did in the Baroque Works. Even in the dark Baroque Works, your heart still holds on to justice.”
“Sorry.”
Uehara clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, “I can not betray Baroque Works… No one in this world dares to betray Baroque Works.”
“There is no need to worry about this.”
Drake opened his palm and continued to persuade, “We have already made up our minds. No matter who the people behind Baroque Works, the marine will firmly carry out justice!”
At this point, Drake’s face became a little cold, “You have been working in Baroque Works for so long. You must know their danger. You don’t want them to continue to endanger the safety of this sea, right?”
“It’s useless.”
Uehara shook his head; his face showed a touch of fear, “Even if an Admiral is dispatched, it is impossible to eliminate our Baroque Works boss. You can go; I won’t tell anyone about what happened today…”
After that, Uehara was about to walk past Drake to leave but was stopped by this RearAdmiral.
Drake looked at Uehara and whispered, “Then there is no other way. I can only send you to Impel Down.”

Uehara was silent for a while.
Then he slowly nodded.
Uehara looked at Drake and stretched out his hands as if he was waiting for Drake to arrest him.
There was even a smile on Uehara’s face, “It’s good for you to send me to Impel Down. At least this way, I won’t have to go against my conscience and do evil in the future…”
“…”
Kabuto’s face stiffened for a second. He subconsciously pushed up his glasses because Kabuto felt his boss was becoming better and better at talking nonsense…
Drake’s coldness couldn’t be held back. He looked at Uehara in confusion, “Uehara, since you dare not betray Baroque Works. Why did you save so many people from the pirates?”
Drake didn’t arrest him but continued to ask, “In fact, you must want to save more people, right? Now, this is an opportunity… Please believe in marine; we will never let go of any evil!”
“…”
Uehara fell silent again.
After a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at Drake, “You guys are too late. No one in this world can stop Baroque Works’ ambitions anymore…”
“What do you mean?”
“Before the Baroque Works was discovered by marine…”
Uehara’s gaze became heavy, “Our goal is to seize the ancient weapon. Now, the Baroque Works boss has already obtained it!”
As Uehara spoke, his eyes gradually darkened. He continued like he was talking about a nightmare, “As long as our Baroque Works boss is willing, he can easily destroy any country or island in this world! Kill anyone in this world!”
“Ancient weapons…”
Drake’s face changed.
The legendary ancient weapons – Pluton, Poseidon, and Uranus. Almost all the people in the world have heard of these three ancient weapons, but not many people have mentioned them over the years.
Because it was from ancient times.
Everyone thought that ancient weapons were only legends.
“Even without that weapon, the marine wouldn’t be able to deal with him.”
Uehara looked at Drake and his voice gradually became more and more fearful, “… That person… is the nightmare of the world… Even Whitebeard can’t…”
At this point, Uehara seemed to see something. After a flash of horror appeared on his face, he broke away from Drake’s arm and punched Drake in the face.
As Uehara launched his attack, he urged loudly, “Hurry up and leave this place. I almost forgot that the senior agents of the Baroque Works are here to meet me today. They are all the boss’ trusted aides!”
“What…”
Drake suddenly blocked Uehara’s fist.
Just as Drake’s face was slightly surprised, he suddenly heard a somewhat wanton voice in his ear, “Uehara, get out of the way! If this guy is an enemy, then let me kill him!”
A piece of clay suddenly fell on Drake’s body.
This Rear Admiral couldn’t help but look up at the sky. He then saw a giant clay bird flying in the air. His eyes flashed with surprise.
Especially when Drake saw the yellow-haired youth on the giant clay bird, his face changed instantly!
“That is…”
Drake’s eyes subconsciously tightened, “Explosive Artist Deidara? Is that guy also a member of Baroque Works?”
“Die!”
Deidara, who was standing on top of the giant clay bird, laughed arrogantly, “Hahaha… Art is an Explosion! Katsu!”
The next moment, the clay on Drake suddenly exploded!
Drake was caught off guard and was directly blown away.
Uehara took advantage of the situation to launch an attack on Drake. In fact, he was covering Kabuto, who quickly fled with Drake. They then performed a chasing act until Kabuto and Drake hid in a secret store.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Uehara saw them hide, he directly let them go and led Deidara in another direction.
After Uehara and Deidara left.
Drake breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Kabuto who was helping him bandage his body. He said, “The Explosive Artist Deidara, destroyed a small island by himself. I didn’t expect him to be a member of the Baroque Works…”
“Your Excellency Rear Admiral, heal your wounds first!”
After Kabuto helped bandage Drake’s injured arm and shoulder, he continued to say, “Deidara seems to have only done that one thing and was given a bounty of 7.5 million Beli, but his strength may have exceeded those pirates who have a bounty of 100 million Beli…”
“Perhaps…”
Drake nodded and said softly, “At least we have gained something today. That Uehara’s attitude has loosened…”
At this point, Drake took out his Den Den Mushi and dialed Sengoku’s number.
Marineford.
Marine Headquarter.
Sengoku accepts the call, “Rear Admiral X Drake, what’s the matter? I remember that you are recently… what? Ancient weapons!”
“Yes.”
Drake’s voice was a bit heavy, “I have already come into contact with Uehara. His attitude has loosened a bit. This is the news I learned from him, but he is still too afraid of the Baroque Works boss.”
After saying this, Drake continued, “There is one more thing. Explosive Artist Deidara is a senior agent of Baroque Works…”
“I got it.”
The next moment, Sengoku’s voice suddenly became a little serious. He warned in a deep voice, “You must find a way to find out all the Baroque Works’ secrets! I will send someone to help you. If it is about the ancient weapons…”
“This is the first mission of the SWORD unit. If it is possible, I hope there is an Admiral who can help at any time.”
Drake looked at the wound on his arm and continued softly, “According to the information we got from our first contact with Uehara, the Baroque Works boss doesn’t seem to be weak. A Vice Admiral support doesn’t seem to be of much help…”
“I got it.”
After thinking for a while, Sengoku agreed to his request, “Admiral Aokiji has recently patrolled the Grand Line’s first half. I will order him to meet with you, cooperate with your actions at any time, and support your mission!”
