Chapter 532 - Sasuke, Your Mission Is Over
Nico Robin’s personality was easy to get along with.
Even if Usopp admitted that his observation ability was strong, it was difficult to tell from Robin’s current performance that she was a woman who has a 290 million beli bounty.
When they were admiring the cherry blossoms together on the island, a team suddenly appeared and attacked them and launched an a.s.sa.s.sination attempt on Robin. Zoro and Sanji were combat members of the Straw Hat Pirates and were naturally obliged to help!
As a result…
The two of them were almost beaten to death.
One of the white-haired enemies was especially fierce in swordsmanship. Zoro was no match at all. The other one was wearing a green tight-fitting suit. After two or three moves, he kicked Sanji away…
It was only after Robin attacked together that these people were finally repelled by them.
Robin glanced at the somewhat messy cherry blossom forest and shook her head with a sigh, “Looks like I can’t continue staying in this place…”
“Miss Robin…”
Sanji sat on the chair with the support of Chopper while bandaging his wound, “What’s going on? Why would those guys want to kill you?”
“They are World Government’s CP agents.”
Nico Robin shook her head and revealed a bitter smile, “Because I am a survivor of the former academic island Ohara, the CP agents have been after me since 20 years ago. I have long been used to it.”
“2… 20 years?”
Nami’s expression was a little dull.
She had known Nico Robin before. In Nami’s impression, Nico Robin’s ident.i.ty should be very n.o.ble. After all, her subordinates were all so powerful…
She didn’t expect this woman was being hunted down for 20 years…
Moreover, after the Baroque Works was disbanded. Nico Robin, the former vice president, was actually living such a miserable life. She was even worse than Uehara, that little minion.
The members of the Straw Hat Pirates chatted with Nico Robin for a while and finally knew about Nico Robin’s background. They also understood why she was chased by the CP agent.
This woman…
In fact, she was quite pitiful.
Zoro bent his fingers and couldn’t help but show a crazy smile on his face, “If I were to protect you for a period of time, wouldn’t I always have a chance to fight that white-haired swordsman?”
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, what nonsense are you talking about!”
Sanji couldn’t help but curse Zoro. He turned around and looked at Nico Robin with eyes full of love, “Robin-chan, please allow me to be your knight!”
The two of them promised to protect Robin, but no one mentioned an invitation to Robin. Only the captain can invite others to board the ship.
When Luffy woke up, this guy didn’t care about the past at all. He took the initiative to invite Robin to join the Straw Hat Pirates and also invited Chopper to sail together as their ship doctor and reserve food.
Because he received the letter left by Ace, and there was also Ace’s Vivre Card, which also pointed to the next stop of the Straw Hat Pirates…
Alabasta.
When the Straw Hat Pirates arrived at this desert kingdom, the warship that had been chasing them slowly also arrived here.
Uehara got off the ship with a gla.s.s of juice in his left hand and a Den Den Mushi in his right hand. Ain followed him and helped hold the Den Den Mushi for him, “Is Portgas D. Ace and Uchiha Sasuke in Alabasta?”
Uehara took a sip of juice and slowly said, “But are we going to let Ace’s journey end here? The damage to Luffy is too great…”
Speaking of which, he was really sorry for Luffy.
When Luffy went out to sea from Loguetown, his brother Sabo was caught; when Luffy left Alabasta, his other brother, Ace, was also going to be caught?
“This is also something that can’t be helped!”
Kabuto, who was in the Den Den Mushi, smiled and explained, “If we don’t stop Sasuke, maybe he will kill Teach in advance…”
“Then let it be in Alabasta!”
Uehara nodded and sighed, “That’s it! But at least let them see each other first… Otherwise, the next time they see each other, it will be in the Impel Down prison. Isn’t it too cruel?”
“Fire Fist!”
Just as Uehara was slowly talking to Kabuto on the phone, a flame suddenly flew out from the dock. The overwhelming flames suddenly hit the warship parked on the dock!
Everyone was stunned by this scene!
Uehara turned his head in surprise and saw that his warship had suddenly fallen into a sea of fire. What the h.e.l.l was going on?
When the people on the dock were fighting to put out the fire, several figures quickly rushed out of the dock and rushed into the city, disappearing into the crowd.
Uehara had already seen several familiar figures. They were Sasuke, Ace, and the Straw Hat Pirates…
Ace and Luffy had reunited.
As an elder brother taking care of his younger brother, Ace was really extraordinary. He directly burned the warship that had chased all the way here from Loguetown.
In fact, this was also Ace’s original intention.
Since Ace knew that the Straw Hat Pirates were being chased after by a Vice Admiral warship, he had been worried about Luffy’s safety. After seeing Uehara’s warship at Alabasta’s port, he immediately destroys the warship.
Even if Sasuke wanted to stop him, he didn’t have time. Sasuke didn’t know how he felt…
“Hey, Ace!”
Sasuke finally recognized the reality. He grabbed Ace by the collar and almost couldn’t suppress his anger, “Do you know what you did?”
“Hahahaha…”
Ace laughed as he patted Sasuke’s hand and lowered his voice, “Hey, Sasuke, hurry up and let go. Luffy and the others are still following behind us. I am Luffy’s older brother. Of course, I have to help him solve a small problem when I pa.s.s by…”
“You idiot…”
Sasuke could not help but let go of his hand and rub his forehead. He directly burned Uehara’s boat, and it was called solving a small problem in pa.s.sing?
In the past, when they were in Spade Pirates and when they were being chased by a female Ensign, Ace fled faster than anyone else… Now, facing Uehara, who was nominally a Vice Admiral, Ace’s courage had increased a lot!
‘d.a.m.n, this is clearly an idiot!’
A real idiot really never bullies people who can be killed with one punch but provokes those who can kill you with one punch…
Except for Sasuke…
Nico Robin, who had just joined the Straw Hat Pirate not long ago, had cold sweat on her forehead, and her face was faintly speechless.
Portgas D. Ace was worthy of being the strongest supernova in history; he dared to provoke Uehara directly!
“Go, go, go; the marines will catch up!”
Ace laughed and waved to the Straw Hat Pirates and shouted, “Hahahaha, Luffy, Sasuke, you go first; I will stop them!”
“You go first!”
Sasuke looked at Uehara and the marines chasing after them; he shook his head and said, “Let me stop them!”
“Hey, Sasuke…”
Ace was still unwilling.
“Shut up!”
Sasuke interrupted him and pulled out his Kusanagi Sword. He said in an unquestionable tone, “Now, go as far as you can. Don’t look back. When I solve the problem here, I will find you!”
Seeing that Sasuke took the initiative to stay, Zoro couldn’t help but look at Ace and asked, “Hey, Luffy’s brother, is it okay to leave your companions to stop the marine? That Uehara Naraku is not that easy to deal with…”
Uehara could block three of his knives with one finger!
Because Zoro had not seen much of the world. From Zoro’s perspective, Uehara’s strength might be at the same level as Mihawk’s.
Ace shook his head and said, “Don’t worry. In this world, no one is Sasuke’s match except Pops.”
“Ah, is he that powerful?”
A touch of surprise flashed on Chopper’s face. He shook his little head in disbelief, “That person is a Vice Admiral!”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Ace narrowed his eyes and continued to shake his head with a smile, ‘It is just a Vice Admiral. Sasuke could easily defeat an Admiral three years ago!’
There was still cold sweat on Nico Robin’s forehead. She looked at Ace with a strange expression, ‘Why is this guy still so calm?’
Ace acted very calmly because he himself did not face much pressure from a Vice Admiral; it was just a hard fight…
Just as Ace trusted his companion, Sasuke was not in a good mood. After three years, he finally saw Uehara again.
“Heh, what a strong enemy…”
Uehara waved his hand to stop the other marines. He looked at Sasuke and couldn’t help but smile, “Whitebeard Pirates’ Uchiha Sasuke, what are you trying to do to stop me here?”
“…”
Sasuke was silent. His face was ugly as he gritted his teeth. He looked at Uehara’s smile, and his mood gradually became complicated.
This guy was still the same as before…
It was as if he was just an ordinary person.
However, Sasuke was very clear that when Uehara smiled, it proved that everything was under his control because he had been concealing his arrogance with a smile.
“I’m not here to do anything.”
Sasuke clenched his fist and put away his Kusanagi Sword. He bowed and apologized, “Sorry, this time Ace was too impulsive. I apologize to you on his behalf. I hope you can forgive that idiot…”
“You are pirates; we are the marine…”
Uehara shook his head and smiled calmly, “It is normal for a pirate to burn a marine warship. It is also the marine duty to capture a pirate and kill him. There is no need to pay attention to this etiquette between us, right?”
“…”
Sasuke frowned.
Things seemed to have gotten bigger!
Uehara actually spoke in a good tone!
“If you really want to apologize…”
Uehara spread out his palm and said with a smile, “Then bring the Mobi d.i.c.k and let Portgas D. Ace burn as an apology to me… This request is not too excessive, right?”
“This condition… is unlikely.”
Sasuke gritted his teeth. No member of Whitebeard Pirates would agree to this condition. It was obvious that Uehara had deliberately opened his mouth to make things difficult for him.
Uehara curled his lips and nodded with a smile, “Since it’s unlikely, then forget it. Since Mr. Sasuke has come forward, I’m just a Vice Admiral, so naturally, I don’t dare to shoot at Portgas D. Ace…”
When he said this, Uehara smiled and added, “But as the price of a fair deal, if I don’t take action against Portgas D. Ace, Sasuke won’t take action in Alabasta, right?”
“Huh?”
Sasuke had a puzzled expression. The next moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he asked in a low voice, “You mean… The marine, no, it should be Akatsuki… is going to attack Ace?”
“Yes…”
Uehara nodded slowly and walked toward Sasuke step by step. His voice suddenly became gentle, “Thank you for your hard work, Sasuke. From this moment on, your undercover mission in Whitebeard Pirates has ended.”
“…”
Sasuke’s eyes suddenly become dull.
