Tina is a bit confused.
Uehara Naraku's aura is so misleading, it makes her almost feel like Baroque Works is some sort of formidable organization.
This Navy beauty Colonel frowned and instinctively turned to ask: "Baroque Works... Tina seems to have heard of them..."
A nearby Navy soldier carefully replied: "Colonel Tina, Baroque Works is a criminal company, there are quite a few wanted criminals inside, very active in the First Half of the Grand Line, we once caught one before..."
Because Baroque Works is especially active around the Alabasta route, that route just happens to be in the area supervised by Colonel Tina, the Navy soldiers on this warship really remember.
After a moment of silence, Tina's face flashed with irritation as she stepped on the warship's railing, rushing towards Uehara Naraku and the others!
"Tina is very angry!"
This beauty Colonel suddenly felt that Uehara Naraku was mocking her, and wanted to personally catch this outrageous guy!
Uehara Naraku looked at the audacious beauty Colonel, kicked her in the waist, directly kicking this Devil Fruit Ability User into the sea!
The battle ended so carelessly...
A Devil Fruit Ability User kicked into the sea would instantly lose all their energy in the embrace of the seawater, isn't this just allowing them to be slaughtered?
One minute later.
Uehara Naraku sat on the warship, respectfully placed a chair on the deck, inviting Nico Robin to sit on it, while Hoshigaki Kisame stood beside Robin with a faint smile on his face.
And right in front of them was the Navy beauty Colonel Tina, lying flat on the deck, a trace of despair on her face as she looked at the azure sky of the Windless Zone.
This scene made Nico Robin's eye twitch.
At this moment, Robin felt like she might also have to take the blame!
Uehara Naraku glanced at the trembling group of Navy soldiers, and solemnly said: "We are members of Baroque Works, this is our Vice President Nico Robin!"
"..."
Nico Robin's face broke out in a cold sweat.
Alright, now there's no doubt, after a while, her 80 million Belly bounty will surely increase.
Really can't imagine Aokiji's expression...
Compared to Navy Admiral Aokiji, as a member of Akatsuki, the increase in bounty seems more concerning regarding that guy named Kakuzu.
Uehara Naraku didn't look at Robin's expression and continued sternly: "From now on, your Navy warship is requisitioned by Baroque Works! If you want to preserve your Colonel's life, immediately change your course to East Sea Log Town!"
"Uh..."
A daring Navy soldier stood up, hesitantly said: "We are headed to Log Town as well..."
"Very good."
Uehara Naraku clapped his hands, revealing a smile: "This truly is a Destined Encounter! Hey, aren't you happy? Applaud for our destined encounter!"
"..."
The group of Navy soldiers looked at each other in dismay.
Every Navy's forehead was filled with question marks.
The next moment, they saw the tall Fishman from Baroque Works reveal a ferocious expression, holding a bizarre blade over Colonel Tina's body.
Clap clap clap clap...
Applause echoed throughout the warship.
Nico Robin watched this, her eyelids couldn't help but twitch, these Navy surely already hate Baroque Works!
Uehara Naraku satisfactorily spread his hands, signaling everyone to quiet down: "In the upcoming time, I hope we can get along, once we reach Log Town, you can take your luggage and disembark!"
"..."
All the Navy looked speechlessly at Uehara Naraku.
As if it's his ship!
You've boarded their ship, and now you really want to steal their warship!
This nature is extremely serious, much easier to incite Navy hostility than killing the Drum Country King!
After this, the Navy surely will pursue!
Uehara Naraku looked at the speechless Navy, his face gradually turned serious, and continued firmly: "I hope you remember today's lesson, and in the future, never... never provoke Baroque Works, next time you really won't be this lucky!"
"..."
Lying on the ground, the Navy beauty Colonel bit her lip.
At this moment, Colonel Tina marked down her disgrace, no matter who it is, Nico Robin, Uehara Naraku, or Baroque Works...
Tina won't ever let them off!
Sooner or later, she will get all Baroque Works members into Impel Down Prison!
Absolutely!
Won't miss a single one!
Unfortunately, this thought only lasted for a day before Colonel Tina decided to first save Uehara Naraku.
Because Colonel Tina saw, that when the Fishman named Hoshigaki Kisame was about to kill a Navy soldier, Uehara Naraku stopped Kisame.
Ten days later.
The Navy warship sailed out of the Windless Zone.
During these recent days, Uehara Naraku had become the most respected person on this warship.
He would always persuade Hoshigaki Kisame to put down his weapon and spare the Navy soldiers whenever Kisame wanted to kill.
A truly good person.
Even Navy Captain Tina couldn't help but feel that this person seemed to have joined the wrong organization, wanting to try to save him back.
At this moment.
Uehara Naraku sat on the railing of the warship, took a sip of juice, and glanced at the task rewards he received.
Side Quest: Cross the Windless Zone (1/1), task completed, reward: 10,000 points of Life Energy, 10,000 points of Armament Haki, 10,000 points of Observation Haki.
This was just his starting point.
Next... was the true welfare of the Newbie Village opening up!
Uehara Naraku leisurely unfolded the map of the East Sea, planning to chart a route for the quests, when a crisp female voice reached his ears.
"Hey, Tina doesn't understand why someone like you would join that kind of criminal company. You look very sunny; despite having a somewhat bad character, you're undoubtedly a good person..."
The beautiful Navy Captain stood beside Uehara Naraku, continuing: "These days, Tina has secretly watched you protecting the ordinary Navy soldiers on board from that terrifying Fishman and the Child of the Demon, Nico Robin!"
After saying this, the beautiful Captain solemnly stated, "As long as you're willing to join the Navy, Tina can guarantee that you won't be held accountable!"
"I'm sorry, I can't agree!"
Uehara Naraku shook his head, showing a hint of apology on his face as he spoke softly: "Since I joined Baroque Works, I can no longer turn back..."
When Uehara Naraku said this, a trace of fear gradually appeared on his face: "You're just a Navy Captain; you don't know how terrifying our boss in Baroque Works is!
If I dared to betray Baroque Works, I would definitely be killed by the boss. It's not even worth mentioning if you're just a Navy Captain, even the Navy Admiral or Navy Marshal is no match for the boss of Baroque Works!"
"..."
Captain Tina had a look of confusion on her face.
Just as she was about to continue questioning, she saw Nico Robin approaching, and the Navy Captain defiantly shut her mouth.
"You can start packing your things now."
Nico Robin felt bitter inside but smiled at Captain Tina: "We'll be arriving at Log Town soon, and you Navy folks can leave this ship."
"Vice President."
Uehara Naraku stood up, respectfully looking at Nico Robin: "I'll handle this matter, you go rest!"
"...Alright."
Nico Robin nodded absentmindedly.
Please don't do that, you're scaring me!
I really don't understand why Uehara Naraku would put on such a performance in front of an ordinary Navy Captain... I don't get it... I don't get it...
If Uehara Naraku knew why Robin had this question, he would straightforwardly tell her that it was because this Captain Tina would definitely spread the threat of Baroque Works and Crocodile within the Navy in the future... After this ship robbery incident, she would definitely keep a close eye on Baroque Works!
The most important thing is that this beautiful Captain seems a bit soft-hearted.
When faced with Pirates and criminals who are not too threatening, this beautiful Captain doesn't seem to care about their past, even directly recruiting them into the Navy, which also serves as a covert path for Uehara Naraku to cleanse his name and infiltrate the Navy in the future...
Whether he will join the Navy in the future is still uncertain.
In any case, an extra path in life is always good.
At this moment, Uehara Naraku was someone who had strayed into Baroque Works but still had a conscience and wanted to turn back.
After Nico Robin gracefully left, Captain Tina clenched her fist, looked at Uehara Naraku, and whispered to him.
"Hey, Mr. Uehara, don't do too many bad things with Baroque Works, otherwise Tina won't be able to protect you in the future!
And no matter who the mastermind behind this criminal company is, Tina will definitely capture him and send him to Impel Down Prison!"
"Impossible."
Uehara Naraku shook his head, speaking softly: "The strength and identity of the boss of Baroque Works are beyond your imagination... Once we reach Log Town, I hope you can forget about today's matters!"
"Tina will definitely do it!"
Captain Tina still felt a bit indignant.
After leaving the Windless Zone, the speed of the warship increased significantly, and soon they arrived at their intended destination.
Log Town.
The Town of Beginnings and Ends.
Because this was the hometown of Pirate King Gol D. Roger, and also where Gol D. Roger was executed, it's also the starting point of the Great Pirate Era!
"You want my treasure? If you want it, then go to the sea and find it! I left everything there!"
Because Gol D. Roger shouted these words before he was executed, it completely awakened the wildness of this world, and since then, many people have ventured to the sea to become Pirates, seeking the treasure, the One Piece, left by the Pirate King at the end at Laugh Tale.
The weak believed it held countless treasures; the strong thought it held the truth of this world.
The warship slowly docked at the pier.
"We're at Log Town."
Uehara Naraku squinted his eyes and smiled, looking very sunny as he softly said, "Please gather your belongings and disembark in an orderly manner..."
