Chapter 497 - It Is My Responsibility to Let You Know What Kind of Organization Akatsuki Is!
On the warship filled with tangerine trees.
When Uehara handed over Mihawk’s juice, he glanced at the cross on Mihawk’s chest and then looked at the black sword in Mihawk’s hand.
Hmm…
It was a little interesting.
The cross was a small knife.
The black sword was called Yoru. It was one of the twelve supreme great swords in this world. It was known as the strongest Kokuto(Black Blade) in the world. It was the favorite sword of Mihawk, the world’s strongest swordsman.
Mihawk took a sip of the juice in his hand and could not help but frown, “I can’t imagine why people still like to drink this kind of kid’s stuff…”
“Hehe…”
The corners of Uehara’s mouth curled up, and he explained with a chuckle, “Perhaps it’s because those people’s families are quite strict!”
Uehara felt that his personality was becoming more and more friendly.
If it were in the past, the current Mihawk should have been hung up and beaten by him, then hung behind the warship…
Now…
Uehara would not do that.
Uehara glanced at his system panel and whispered, “Mr. Mihawk, there are enough lounge rooms in the cabin. I didn’t bring too many soldiers with me. We will probably arrive at the area where Whitebeard Pirates and Beast Pirates are fighting tomorrow morning…”
“I got it.”
Mihawk nodded slowly, and a hint of curiosity flashed across his face, “Captain Uehara, are you a devil fruit person?”
“…”
Uehara thought for a while and nodded seriously, “You can say that, but it is not completely.”
Well…
It seemed that he could also say that.
Now, he could freely use many of Logia-type’s devil fruit abilities.
Compared to Logia’s fruit ability.
Uehara’s Haki should be stronger now. Recently, Uehara had been secretly moving in the sea near Wano Country. Even Nico Robin was temporarily placed in Wano Country.
During this period of time, Uehara was carrying out some side mission or scenery mission for sailing on the Grandline. These ordinary sailing missions were rewarded handsomely.
[Side Mission: Continue sailing on the Grandline(281/1000).]
[The mission has not been completed]
[Reward: unknown.]
It felt…
It was as if he was specially asked to travel the Grandline.
Perhaps this was the meaning of one piece world? As long as he continues to sail, his strength will become stronger and stronger; sooner or later, he will take this world into his pocket.
It was really…
It was puzzling.

During this period of time, Uehara allowed the members of the Akatsuki Organization to stir up trouble in the sea while he silently became stronger in the dark.
Only now did he feel more and more like a proper mastermind behind the scenes…
The past was really a bit too improper.
The reason why Uehara was willing to come out today was naturally because of Dracule “Hawk Eyes” Mihawk. As the world’s largest swordsman has several tasks on his body.
In addition, Uehara was also a little worried that if he sent out other members, they might kill this Hawkeye Mihawk.
And…
This seemingly serious swordsman was quite interesting.
To be honest, the members of the Akatsuki Organization were too immodest. Those guys often don’t behave like people. Such a serious swordsman was very in need to improve the overall style of the Akatsuki organization.
The sun fell.
The moonlight on the sea gradually brightened.
The warship full of tangerine trees was still sailing.
Uehara slowly raised his finger and looked at the battle between the Art Pirates and Moonlight Moria. The battle between them would probably take a long time.
After frowning, Uehara monitored the final battle between Sasuke and Naruto. The battle between these two guys will probably take a long time…
It had to be said that…
The increase in strength in this world to ninjas was too great. Their physical strength and chakra were gradually increasing.
It was a little strange…
If not for the black hole skill and Ascension skill ten-fold increase, Uehara wouldn’t have been able to deal with the joint attack of Sasuke and Naruto in his normal state.
When he thought of this, Uehara couldn’t help but look at Mihawk. This world’s strongest swordsman that even Whitebeard praised, it wouldn’t be troublesome to fight, right?
Mihawk looked at Uehara in surprise. He frowned and said, “Mr. Captain, what’s wrong? Aren’t you going to make dinner?”
“Uh, I forgot to bring a chef…”
Uehara glanced at his system panel, and an awkward smile appeared on his face, “I’m sorry. I only thought that I couldn’t let those soldiers disturb you and actually forgot to bring a cook. My cooking skills are limited to crude grilled fish. I don’t know…”
“Huh?”
Mihawk subconsciously frowned and asked, “Then, is there enough food in the warship’s kitchen?”
“Maybe…”
In the next moment, Uehara’s fingers moved. The seawater rolled up in an instant, setting off a spiral sea current and sending the fish directly to the deck!
Uehara nodded with satisfaction. He turned to look at Mihawk and whispered, “There should be enough now.”
“…”
Mihawk’s gaze became sharper.
Ever since he boarded this warship, the Marine Captain in front of him had displayed some strange abilities in front of him.
This guy…
He was really not simple!
Mihawk personally cooked dinner and looked at Uehara, who was eating in the dining room. His mood was a little bad.
This Marine Captain…
Was there really no problem with his brain?
For so many years, Mihawk had seen many people. Because he had seen more and more people, Mihawk liked his sword more and more.
However, he has never seen such an eccentric, bold, and thick-skinned Marine Captain before…
“Alright.”
After eating dinner, Uehara wiped his mouth in satisfaction. He raised his head and looked at Mihawk, who was sitting opposite the table. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“As expected of the world’s strongest swordsman. His craftsmanship is really good…”
There was a hint of sincerity in Uehara’s eyes. He asked seriously, “Let’s get down to business! Mr. Mihawk, do you want to come to this ship and be the cook of this ship?”
“…”
The air suddenly quieted down.
Traces of killing intent gradually appeared in the warship dining hall.
Killing Intent can be cultivated by a swordsman who has been contaminated with blood for many years. With the emotion of the swordsman, it can affect the surrounding environment, not to mention the world’s strongest swordsman in front of him!
Mihawk was the world’s strongest swordsman!
How could he become a cook on a warship!
No matter who it was, they knew that this was absolutely impossible. This was clearly an insult to Mihawk!
This guy called Uehara Naraku was provoking him!
This guy…
Either he was powerful, or he was crazy!
Mihawk stared calmly at Uehara and said with a cold expression, “Do you know what you are saying…”
“Very clear.”
Uehara slowly tapped his finger, ignoring Mihawk killing intent. He smiled and continued, “This ship is now my ride. There are not many people who can board this ship. Naturally, the cook can’t be randomly chosen…”
“Boring.”
Mihawk interrupted Uehara. He reached out and grabbed the black sword beside him. His face revealed a little impatience, “When I boarded this warship, I thought I saw an interesting fellow and would have an interesting trip…”
The next moment, the black sword in Mihawk’s hand was aimed at Uehara. He continued coldly, “You are the second person to break through the limit of my patience. You want to…”
“Wait, who is the first person?”
Uehara’s focus was obviously different. He touched his chin and slowly said, “The Yonko(Four Emperors) red-haired Shanks?”
“…”
Mihawk was silent for a second.
Obviously, Uehara guessed right.
The battle between Mihawk and the red-haired Shanks was still remembered by Mihawk to this day. Mihawk even rushed to the red-haired sea area many times to spar with him. He only stopped after he lost his arm.
Even so, Mihawk also recognized the friendship of the red-haired Shanks and also understood the degree of the guy’s off-line, which greatly increased Mihawk’s patience limit…
Uehara’s question directly interrupted his train of thought and what he wanted to say next…
Now was not the time to talk about red-haired Shanks!
“…”
Mihawk gripped the black sword in his hand and pointed at Uehara. He said coldly, “Nameless, don’t waste our time. Tell me your real name and ident.i.ty. A guy like you can’t be an ordinary marine!”
“Aren’t you too urgent?”
Uehara shook his head and sighed.
However, after Uehara sighed, he did not continue to delay.
Uehara, with the support of the table, slowly stood up. He stared into Hawkeye’s eyes, and his expression gradually became calm.
“Akatsuki…”
The first word that Uehara said made Mihawk’s eyes flash with light because this name had made a lot of noise in the sea some time ago!
It was because of the appearance of Itachi, who was an Akatsuki member, that the marine failed to encircle Sasuke!
It was said that…
This was a deeply hidden organization!
Moreover, there have been some rumors in the sea recently that Whitebeard Pirates’ Sasuke seems to be one of the members of the Akatsuki Organization…
It was said that Shichibukai Kisame might also have some inexplicable relationship with the Akatsuki Organization. They have not been found out yet, but the Yonko(Four Emperors) Kaido, who has dominated the new world, seems to have become an ally of the Akatsuki Organization.
“Is he a member of Akatsuki?”
Mihawk clenched the black sword in his hand tighter and tighter, and his eyes showed a hint of seriousness, “How did you find my whereabouts? If I remember correctly, there shouldn’t be any involvement between us…”
“No.”
Uehara curled the corners of his mouth slightly and raised a finger to shake his head, “Do you need me to remind Mr. Mihawk?”
Uehara looked at Mihawk, and the smile on his face grew deeper and deeper, “Do you remember what you said to Itachi? Akatsuki is an unknown small organization…”
The next moment…
Uehara’s eyes suddenly revealed a trace of ferocity!
“As the leader of Akatsuki…”
Uehara slowly closed his palm, and the sound of joints came out bit by bit, “It is my full responsibility to tell Mr. Mihawk…”
Haki gradually floated on Uehara’s body, and his eyes faintly became awe-inspiring, “And let you clearly realize what kind of organization Akatsuki is!”
