Chapter 423: Rear Admiral X Drake’s First Subordinate, Lieutenant Commander Yakushi Kabuto!

Rear Admiral X Drake couldn’t find Baroque Works members. This matter wasn’t actually his fault because someone had been constantly hunting them.

A few days ago.

Through the CPO under World Government, the marine finally found the identities of several members of the Baroque Works. Several of them carried a bounty on their backs.

As a result, the marine had just raised their reward when their bodies were sent in by a bounty hunter named Kakuzu.

That Kakuzu…

It made the marine head bald.

Marine Base G-2 branch.

The branch commander Vice Admiral Comil glanced at Kakuzu, who was sitting opposite him. He lowered his head and took a sip of bitter coffee before saying, “Well, thank you, Mr. Kakuzu, for the corpses of the criminals. The reward of the 17 criminals is a total of 350 million Beli.”

“You’re welcome.”

Kakuzu nodded and continued to count the money.

He could not tolerate the loss of money.

Even if Kakuzu used his super high hand speed to count the money, he still maintained this speed for nearly four hours before he finished counting all his rewards.

Vice Admiral Comil was stunned.

However, Vice Admiral Comil also knew Kakuzu’s habits and did not care about the strange habits of this bounty hunter. Because of the existence of this powerful bounty hunter, the pirates of the Grand Line were restrained.

“Is Mr. Kakuzu interested in joining the Marine?”

Comil put down the coffee in his hand and said softly, “If Mr. Kakuzu is willing to join the marine…”

“Not interested.”

Kakuzu shook his head and put the money in a box, “I am only interested in killing pirates with a bounty.”

After that, Kakuzu added, “But I have a good impression of the marine, so when I see that a marine is in trouble, I will help.”

“Okay.”

Comil nodded, and a smile appeared on his face, “The last time my subordinates surrounded a pirate, I have to thank Mr. Kakuzu for his help.”

After saying this, Comil finally asked a question, “So, is Mr. Kakuzu interested in becoming a Shichibukai?”

This question wasn’t something that Comil can ask.

It was something that the Marien Fleet Admiral had mentioned.

If Kakuzu agreed, their marine could apply to the World Government’s higher-ups to revoke a Shichibukai pirate, and let Kakuzu, a bounty hunter, go up.

After all, compared to those pirates who plundered legally, Kakuzu, this bounty hunter, was simply an angel and was the most suitable candidate.

“…”

Kakuzu was silent for a second.

After a long time, this bounty hunter raised a question that stunned Comil, “I remember that there are only seven Shichibukai. Can I kill that pirate and exchange his reward if his position as Shichibukai is revoked?”

This was really in line with Kakuzu’s style.

This guy’s first thought was not that he had a chance to become a Shichibukai but that Shichibukai’s wanted poster finally became effective, and he could exchange him for money if he killed him.

However, if the news of a Shichibukai being dismissed for no reason were to spread.

It would cause the World Government’s prestige to sweep the floor!

Then balance in the sea would be broken.

Even though Comil knew Kakuzu well enough, he was still surprised for a moment. He hurriedly smiled and said, “Hahahaha… I was just joking… After all, compared to those pirates, I still want Mr. Kakuzu to be our ally!”

“I see…”

Kakuzu nodded and said in a low voice, “I hope that the marine will revoke their position one day! After all, I really want to get the reward from them!”

“…”

Comil lowered his head and drank his coffee, not daring to reply.

After a long time, Comil asked, “Where does Mr. Kakuzu plan to go next? You have killed the pirates in this area…”

“Baroque Works.”

Kakuzu replied expressionlessly, “Now the marine has increased the reward of the Baroque Works members. Just the most active people alone have more than 500 million. I will search for their traces and kill their members.”

“Then I will wait for Mr. Kakuzu’s good news.”

Comil slowly sip the coffee in his hand and could not help but frown, “The coffee is still so bad…”

After Kakuzu left with the money.

Comil called Sengoku’s Den Den Mushi, “Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I privately asked about Kakuzu’s opinion on Shichibukai…”

When Comil said at this point, his expression gradually became subtle, “This bounty hunter seems to have some problems with his thinking. He didn’t care about the temptation of being a Shichibukai. He only cared about the bounty of a Shichibukai right now…”

“…”

Sengoku was also somewhat speechless.

This bounty hunter’s thinking was really strange!

Sengoku sighed and whispered, “Forget it, I asked the World Government to revoke Doflamingo’s Shichibukai position, but it didn’t pass…”

Although Doflamingo was defeated.

But the identity of Doflamingo and his position in Dressrosa could make him stable for some time. After all, he was the most powerful Shichibukai. Sengoku could only think of a way to find an opportunity.

Marineford.

Sengoku helplessly reached out and handed his application form to the goat. The little goat ate the application, and then Sengoku continued to read through his documents.

“Huh?”

Sengoku’s gaze slowly stopped. He lowered his head to look at the document in his hand, “Yakushi Kabuto, saw through Mane Mane no Mi(Clone-Clone Fruit) ability in an operation. He captured Mr. 2 Bon Clay, a member of the Baroque Works, and applied an exceptional promotion to the branch Captain…”

Sengoku pondered for a few seconds. He looked at Kabuto’s photo and then decided, “It seems that he is a very smart little guy… Let him be promoted to a Lieutenant Commander in the headquarters and send him to Drake to assist him in setting up the secret special forces SWORD!”

Sengoku did not know what decision he made.

However, this decision was very beneficial for the secret special forces SWORD from this moment. At least, this secret special force would develop quickly in the future.

In a marine base.

Kabuto saw the transfer order personally approved by the Marine Fleet Admiral. He was a little surprised because he originally planned to be promoted to Lieutenant first and then control this base.

However, this Marine Fleet Admiral was very generous. He directly promoted him to Lieutenant Commander, but why did he need to be under the command of Rear Admiral X Drake?

Who was this Rear Admiral X Drake?

Was he going to start all over again?

However, when Kabuto joined under Rear Admiral X Drake with the transfer order, he learned that there were only the two of them in the current secret special forces SWORD…

There was only one Rear Admiral and a Lieutenant Commander!

This unit has not yet been exposed to tasks and has always been in the initial stage.

Kabuto immediately analyzed that the higher-ups should not have supported this so-called secret special forces SWORD. Now that they were on the verge of disbanding, he had to find another career as soon as possible. Otherwise, there was no hope of promotion.

If he wanted this unit to disband…

Then he must first convince the commander of this unit, Rear Admiral X Drake!

“Rear Admiral X Drake.”

Kabuto pushed up his glasses and asked in a low voice, “There are only the two of us in the entire unit. Will Fleet Admiral really continue to support our unit?”

“Oh… Don’t worry, we can always ask for help.”

Drake sat on a chair with his boots on his desk, and whispered, “And we will have a third member and our mission soon. Fleet Admiral has given us a suitable candidate.

We will now find a Baroque Works member named Uehara Naraku and then develop him into a member of the SWORD unit. Then we can start the first mission of the secret special forces SWORD!

“…”

Kabuto pushed his glasses and fell silent.

In an instant, Kabuto judged that this should not be a conspiracy.

Because no matter what, someone couldn’t hide from Uehara and set up a conspiracy against him.

The next moment, a light flashed on Kabuto’s lens and glanced at Rear Admiral X Drake.

He could be determined that this was a very pitiful person.

To be honest, if possible, this secret special forces SWORD should be disbanded, which was the best choice for Rear Admiral X Drake.

Unfortunately, he will go to a dead end.

Kabuto looked at X Drake as if he saw the shadow of Black Zetsu from this Rear Admiral.

“Don’t look at me like that!”

Drake couldn’t help but cover his forehead and said in a deep voice, “Who knew that a Baroque Works member is so hard to find. Even the CPO can not provide any help. Hey, newcomer, do you have any ideas?”

“There is no particularly good way.”

Kabuto pushed his glasses and whispered, “I personally captured a Baroque Works senior agent. According to my observation, these Baroque Works seem to like to be active in the route toward Alabasta…”

“Kabuto, do you suspect that there is a base there?”

“I’m not sure.”

Kabuto spread out his palm and smiled, “But I know that there must be people who know the whereabouts of Baroque Works members…

Because when I came to report, I just got a piece of news. One of the Shichibukai, Crocodile, publicly declared that he would expel all Baroque Works members in Alabasta and remove the danger for the people of Alabasta!

“Hahaha… I think so too!”

Drake clapped his hands and praised, “Kabuto, Fleet Admiral Sengoku personally praised your intelligence. I hope you won’t let him down… We will set off to Alabasta right now and find that person called Uehara Naraku as soon as possible!”

“Yes.”

Kabuto lowered his head slowly.

If Kabuto didn’t lower his head now, he might accidentally show his pity for Rear Admiral X Drake, ‘What a pitiful Rear Admiral. He certainly doesn’t know what he will face in the future, right?’
