Chapter 405: How Can Haoshoku Haki (Conqueror’s Haki) Be as Cool as Being a Mastermind Behind the Scenes?
The marines left their warship with ugly expressions.
These marines were really in a bad mood, and each of them remembered the name Baroque Works in their hearts.
Just before Hina got off the ship, she stopped in front of Uehara and tried to warn him, “Hey, don’t do those dangerous things. Hina must…”
“Captain Hina.”
Uehara interrupted Hina and said softly, “The Baroque Works left the Grand Line because they wanted to take the opportunity to loot the most prosperous places in the East Blue.
If there is time, please hurry to the marine base in this town and tell Captain Smoker to be careful!
Because we have received the boss’ order, if we want to loot the East Blue, we have to get rid of Captain Smoker first. So we have prepared a secret weapon to deal with him; after all, Captain Smoker is currently the strongest marine officer present in East Blue!”
“…”
Hina’s expression instantly became serious.
The next moment, Hina nodded slowly and left the warship. She planned to immediately go to Loguetown marine base to find her friend Smoker!
Smoker has eaten a Logia-type Devil Fruit – Moku Moku no Mi(Smoke-Smoke Fruit).
If these Baroque Works members were really prepared to deal with Smoker. That was not good. She had to inform Smoker as soon as possible!
If Smoker was taken care of, even if reinforcements arrived, they would not be able to stop the Baroque Works from looting the East Blue!
“Hina understands.”
Hina frowned and left after saying, “Uehara, you must be careful. Don’t be discovered by them!”
If what Uehara said was true, he must have prepared ahead of time. If what Uehara said was false, then it didn’t matter.
However, according to Hina’s observation, she believed that there was no need for Uehara to lie to her.
Perhaps it was because they had been together for the past few days that this person Uehara actually intended to turn back, but he was still afraid of the Baroque Works boss…
After watching the beautiful Captain leave in a hurry.
Kisame walked over with Samehada on his back and couldn’t help but grin, “Uehara-sama, is the IQ of the marine so low? She hasn’t found out that Uehara-sama is the most terrible one among us for so many days!”
“Kisame…”
Uehara sighed and said, “Isn’t it because my performance is excellent?”
“… Yes.”
Kisame shook his head helplessly.
Nico Robin slowly walked out. She looked at Uehara and said softly, “Are we really going to loot the East Blue?”
“Of course.”
Uehara nodded and continued, “I’ve already prepared the route map. The first stop is Loguetown, the second stop is the ocean-going restaurant Baratie, the third stop is Cocoyashi Village, the fourth stop is Foosha Village…”
“…”
Nico Robin’s eyelids trembled.
What the hell was Uehara going to do?
Were they better than Loguetown? How come the rest were small villages that she have never heard of? And why was there a sea restaurant in it!
You were obviously so strong.
Couldn’t you be a little more generous? She really doesn’t understand how much money there was in that kind of place!
“Alright.”
Uehara glanced at Kisame beside him and said with a chuckle, “Then let’s go take a look at the Pirate King’s execution platform!”
“Eh?”
Kisame looked at Uehara in surprise and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Uehara-sama, aren’t you going to say hello to Loguetown first?”
This was Akatsuki’s tradition.
No, it could be said that it was a tradition created by Uehara. No matter where he wanted to attack, he must first use a powerful technique to greet them.
“Forget it.”
Uehara patted his forehead and shook his head, “Now I am a good person! After we arrive at the Pirate King’s execution platform, you can come and say hello to this town!”
“Oh?”
Kisame suddenly had a strong interest on his face.
Loguetown, Marine Base.
Captain Smoker lived here. This town was also his hometown. Many years ago, he had seen the execution of Gol D. Roger.
When other people went out to the sea to search for treasures, Smoker vowed to stop the era of pirates made by his fellow townsmen, Gol D. Roger!
This was really…𝒇𝘳𝗲𝚎w𝑒𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝒆l. 𝒄𝒐𝚖
Admirable integrity!
It had to be said that Smoker had done a good job.
Because he was stationed in Loguetown, he captured many pirates who wanted to enter the Grand Line and made the marine higher-ups hate him.
Because what those people criticized was that Smoker rarely listened to the orders of his superiors and always attacked rashly, so he was still a Captain.
Now, Smoker was leisurely walking on the streets of Loguetown with a cigar in his mouth, looking like he was not to be trifled with, and he was indeed not to be trifled with.
To tell the truth…
In the eyes of many Loguetown townspeople, this Captain Smoker was more like a gang leader than Bartolomeo, the town’s gang leader.
Smoker usually liked to hold cigars in his mouth as he patrolled the streets of Loguetown. This peaceful town was the result of his many years of hard work.
Just as Smoker was about to get another two cigars slowly, he saw a figure running over. His eyelids could not help but twitch. “Hey Hina, why are you here at Loguetown?”
Hina was Smoker’s good friend.
The two of them studied under the former admiral Zephyr and came from the same training camp, so their relationship was really good.
“Smoker!”
Hina didn’t hesitate and told everything, “A few strong pirates entered Loguetown… They are here to target you!”
Hina immediately told Smoker everything she had encountered in the Calm Belt and also told him about the Baroque Works’ plan to rob the East Blue.
After saying all this, the beautiful marine Captain frowned and sighed, “Hina is very ashamed.”
“It seems that the enemy is indeed very strong!”
Smoker spat out a thick smoke ring and said, “I will send the warship to surround them. I will deal with those guys and take back your warship… No matter how strong the pirates are, the marine will never retreat.”
Just as the two Captains met.
Loguetown square.
It was also the most lively place in the entire Loguetown.
The execution platform that had once executed Gol D. Roger was still preserved. The World Government regarded this execution platform as a warning to the world.
“It seems that no one is looking after it…”
Uehara looked around and walked up to the execution platform. He whispered, “Wait for me here. I’ll go up and take a look.”
“Yes.”
Kisame nodded.
Nico Robin had a subtle expression.
This execution platform was actually not auspicious because it had once executed the most terrible pirate in the world.
Uehara walked up step by step.
The townspeople in the square noticed this scene, and their expressions slightly changed. Some people seemed to want to stop Uehara.
Uehara turned a deaf ear and walked up the execution platform step by step as if he had walked on a once supreme throne. He finally stood on the execution platform.
This was the last scene that Pirate King saw before his death.

This was what a novice village should be like!
Just walking on this execution platform could give such a high reward!
Sometimes it’s really not to blame the system, it gives a path to becoming a god, but Uehara inexplicably chose to the hell start…

Uehara glanced at his status panel. At this moment, he had obtained the three different Haki. In the future, he would no longer have to worry about being suppressed by the enemy using the Haoshoku Haki(Conqueror’s Haki).
Moreover…
As a leader who wanted to lead the Akatsuki organization to stand at the world’s apex, he felt that something was strange if he did not have Haoshoku Haki(Conqueror’s Haki).
No, this was not quite right.
As someone who always liked to control everything behind the scenes, to actually be able to obtain Haoshoku Haki(Conqueror’s Haki), this feeling seemed even more strange!
Uehara flew to the side of Kisame and Nico Robin, and said with a smile on his face, “What I want has been obtained. Let’s go!”
“It seems that Uehara-sama is in a good mood…”
Kisame grinned, and a smile appeared on his face, “So, are we leaving Loguetown now? Aren’t we going to say hello to this town?”
“Oh…”
Uehara’s gaze fell on Smoker and Hina who were rushing over from a street. His brows furrowed slightly.
Even though he had already obtained the Haoshoku Haki(Conqueror’s Haki), his first thought was to show off his acting skills in front of Captain Hina.
Wasn’t it better to be a mastermind behind the scene?
What was the use of Haoshoku Haki(Conqueror’s Haki)?
No matter how strong it was, it could only give you a moment of awe from the enemy!
Suppose he had always hidden his identity in front of the enemy. When his true identity was revealed, it would shock the enemy, but it would also double the joy he gained in his heart!
It would also leave a psychological shadow on the enemy.
Of course…
If you jump over and over again…
It would make the shadow in their hearts double.
Uehara made a slight step and stopped in front of Smoker and Hina. His face was anxious, and he winked at them.
“Hey, didn’t I say that you should not provoke Baroque Works!”
