Chapter 412: You Have Done So Much, but Have You Asked Crocodile’s Opinion?

Cocoyashi Village’s port.

Uehara’s warship was filled with tangerines and tangerine trees.

The villagers of Cocoyashi Village looked at Uehara, standing on the shore in confusion. They had already learned the truth from Nojiko and had never seen a pirate with such a bad character.

But he was much better than Arlong.

He didn’t kill anyone and even helped them get rid of the disaster.

These villagers also had complicated feelings about Uehara.

Uehara looked at Nami, who was covered in dirt and handed her a tissue with a gentle face. He looked like a kind elder brother.

If you ignore his bad behavior just now…

The relationship between them was actually quite similar!

“What else do you want to do?”

Nami wiped her face in dissatisfaction and muttered, “You stole my money. You took all my tangerines. You also took a lot of my tangerine trees…”

“Tangerine or something, I will pay.”

Uehara looked very serious.

The 15-year-old Nami no longer believed him and said with some anger, “Do you want to use the money you stole from me? How much do you want to give me back?”

“I worked so hard to save all that money…”

“Will you return it to me?”

A light flashed in Nami’s eyes.

“No.”

Uehara rubbed her hair and looked at Nami’s dim eyes. He softly comforted her, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you work so hard for nothing. I will squander the 36,530,000 Bailey that you have saved up.”

“…”

‘Is this human language?’

If she didn’t know that she couldn’t beat this person…

Nami really wanted to fight him to the death!

Uehara slowly took out a coin and handed it to Nami, “The money for tangerines and tangerine trees, you really earned it. I can’t find a face value smaller than this. Alright, I already pay. We can consider it a fair deal.”

“… Fifty Beli…”

Nami stared at the coin and slowly raised her head to stare at Uehara. She sighed faintly, “Mr. Uehara, fifty Beli is not even enough to buy a pound of tangerine… How can you have the nerve to say that it is a fair deal…”

“I am a pirate.”

Uehara’s words directly choked Nami to death. He smiled and continued to ask, “Then do you still want this coin?”

“Yes.”

Nami reached out her palm in humiliation and took the coin from Uehara’s hand.

Uehara patted Nami’s little head and hugged her. He then whispered in her ear, “Nami, don’t have this expression; you still have this group of villagers who like you… Don’t you want to protect them?”

“…”

Nami, who was originally a little confused about life, was instantly alerted.

Nami’s expression suddenly became serious. She suddenly grabbed Uehara’s arm and said in a low voice, “What else do you want to do?”

“It’s not what I want to do.”

Uehara rubbed her hair and sighed softly, “Do you still remember what I said… Arlong is not strong enough.

However, the status of the Fishman Pirates in the Grand Line was not low. Who knew if they would come to take revenge?”

“…”

A touch of uneasiness flashed across Nami’s face.

Uehara’s words must have frightened the girl.

Uehara comforts her emotions, “Within three years, our Baroque Works will launch a war against the Fishman Pirates. If we win and eliminate Jinbe, then everything will be fine.

If I don’t come back to buy the tangerine you planted three years later, you can find a pirate crew you like to go to the Grand Line, understand?

I believe in your ability as a navigator. In fact, many powerful pirates will definitely want to have a talented navigator like you. But you are too young now… “

“Mr. Uehara…”

Nami’s eyes trembled slightly.

Uehara narrowed his eyes and gave Nami a sunny smile, “Alright, since I have taken your money, I will do something for you. I will be stationed at Whiskey Peak and will not let any of Jinbe’s subordinates to East Blue!”

“…”

At this moment, Nami’s expression was extremely complicated. Nami’s emotions were somewhat moved. She suddenly felt that Uehara in front of her was a good person.

Uehara reached out his finger and knocked her forehead, chuckling, “Hehe, our Baroque Works is the strongest organization in the world. How could we lose to that fellow, Jinbe?

It just so happens that we are going to fight Jinbe, and by the way, we also use this opportunity to grab some money from you? Anyway, there is nothing you can do about me!

When you grow up, go to Grand Line and play with me! At that time, I will introduce you to a fellow who loves money as much as his life!”

After that, Uehara boarded the warship, waved to the people on the ground, and left Cocoyashi Village.

The villagers on the ground also subconsciously waved goodbye to him.

To tell the truth, it’s really hard for the villagers to feel bad about this pirate, even Nami’s sister Nojiko waved goodbye.

“… bastard!”

Nami clenched the coin in her hand and looked in the direction of the warship. Her voice gradually lowered, “Whiskey Peak, Grand Line… I will definitely go see you! That guy called Jinbe? I’ll leave it to you for now…”

On the warship.

Uehara played with the tangerine in his hand while looking at the mission he had completed in Cocoyashi Village in boredom.

[Side Mission: Rob Nami’s money(1/1).]

[Mission completed.]

[Reward: +10,000 Life Energy, +10,000 Busoshoku Haki(Armament Haki), +10,000 Kenbunshoku Haki(Observation Haki).]

[Side Mission: Planting tangerine trees on your own ship(1/1).]

[Mission completed.]

[Reward: 300 gold coins.]

This was the regular reward of a Novice Village.

In addition to this, there was another skill reward.

[Side Mission: Taste Cocoyashi Village’s Tangerine(1/1).]

[Mission completed.]

[Fixed Reward: Remove Scurvy. ]

[Remove Scurvy: Eat any tangerine-type fruit, remove all control skills, and restore 15% of your own life energy, Busoshoku Haki(Armament Haki), and Kenbunshoku Haki(Observation Haki). No cooldown time. You need to consume a tangerine-type fruit.]

This skill was like a potion…

It was really outrageous.

“Tsk…”

Uehara played with the tangerine in his hand and couldn’t help but chuckle, “It seems that if there is nothing else to do, I have to visit Cocoyashi Village more often.”

“Mr. Naraku, I have a question…”

After frowning, Nico Robin asked softly, “Are we really going to fight with Jinbe, one of the Shichibukai?”

“Of course.”

Uehara threw up the tangerine in his hand and said casually, “We have promised Miss Nami and Mr. Crocodile. We can’t go back on our words, right?”

Uehara threw the tangerine in his hand to Kisame and continued, “Get ready! When we return to the Grand Line, we will start to prepare for the Baroque Works to attack Jinbe and replace him!”

“Yes, Uehara-sama.”

Kisame nodded slowly.

Nico Robin spread out the map and said in a low voice, “Then our last stop is East Blue’s Foosha Village?”

“En, let’s go to Foosha Village!”

Uehara nodded slowly.

In fact, there was also that Syrup Village, but Captain Kuro hasn’t sneaked in yet… Was he really going there just to listen to Usopp’s bragging?

There’s something nastier here.

That was, Usopp has a very strange setting. Almost all the bullshit that guy has ever bragged about will be realized one by one.

It was better to go directly to Foosha Village.

That was a real novice village!

Nico Robin glanced at the map and looked at Uehara curiously, “Mr. Uehara, is there anything special there?”

“Yes.”

Uehara slowly nodded and said, “That is the hometown of Vice-Admiral Monkey D. Garp. His grandson is there too…”

“Vice-Admiral Monkey D. Garp?”

A trace of surprise flashed across Nico Robin’s face. Her forehead couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat, “Don’t tell me you want to rob the hometown of the Marine Hero in the name of the Baroque Works?”

“Otherwise, what do you think I am going to do?”

Uehara waved his hand and summoned a gust of wind. He whispered, “I forgot to mention that the grandson of Vice-Admiral Garp is currently in his hometown! That guy is the son of the revolutionary army leader, Monkey D. Dragon.”

“…”

Nico Robin was silent for a few seconds.

‘Are you afraid that Crocodile will die too comfortably?’

According to the current situation, once it is revealed that Crocodile is the boss of Baroque Works, then Crocodile can directly give up on the Pluton and find a luxurious room in the underwater prison Impel Down in advance…

Just robbing the hometown of the Marine Hero, Monkey D. Garp, would make Crocodile unable to stay in his Shichibukai position, not to mention that this matter involved the world’s most ferocious criminal, Dragon!

“Don’t think too much.”

Uehara couldn’t help but smile and said, “The marine is much darker than you think. It’s just robbing Foosha Village. The marine wouldn’t care.”

‘Really…’

‘Not a big deal?’

Nico Robin’s mentality was not good, she must learn to relax.

“Of course, if the marine does not pay attention to it, others will pay attention to it.”

Looking at the setting sun in the distance, Uehara chuckled and continued, “As long as the news of our Baroque Works robbing the hometown of the Marine Hero gets out, it will definitely shock the whole world and make Mr. Crocodile famous!”

Uehara clenched his fist confidently, “The matter of Foosha Village is much more interesting than you think. It is so interesting that you can’t imagine it.

As long as we do this big thing, Mr. Crocodile will definitely walk on the road of a king… Although this road may be full of thorns and hardships! “

“…”

Nico Robin’s face was strange.

‘Have you asked Crocodile for his opinion?’

“Ah! Wait.”

Uehara turned the bow again and whispered, “We have to go to a place with a marine base. I have to find a way to spread the news that Baroque Works will rob the hometown of the Marine Hero.”

“…”

Nico Robin didn’t know what expression she had on her face.

‘You splashed dirty water on Crocodile while secretly white washing yourself?’

‘Can’t you be a good person?’
