Uehara had just walked in and was directly surrounded by Drake and Kabuto. He couldnât help but frown slightly.
âIâm Rear Admiral X Drake.â
After standing in front of Uehara, Drake bluntly stated his purpose, âUehara Naraku of Baroque Works, Captain Hina mentioned you. I am here to invite you to join the marine. The marine will forgive you for your past sins.â
ââŠâ
Ueharaâs expression changed slightly.
To be honest, Uehara didnât expect that Drake would directly invite him to join the marine. Didnât everyone need to get in touch with him slowly?
âDonât be puzzled.â
Drakeâs face was a little serious. He continued, âWe found out what you did in the Baroque Works. Even in the dark Baroque Works, your heart still holds on to justice.â
âSorry.â
Uehara clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, âI can not betray Baroque Works⊠No one in this world dares to betray Baroque Works.â
âThere is no need to worry about this.â
Drake opened his palm and continued to persuade, âWe have already made up our minds. No matter who the people behind Baroque Works, the marine will firmly carry out justice!â
At this point, Drakeâs face became a little cold, âYou have been working in Baroque Works for so long. You must know their danger. You donât want them to continue to endanger the safety of this sea, right?â
âItâs useless.â
Uehara shook his head; his face showed a touch of fear, âEven if an Admiral is dispatched, it is impossible to eliminate our Baroque Works boss. You can go; I wonât tell anyone about what happened todayâŠâ
After that, Uehara was about to walk past Drake to leave but was stopped by this RearAdmiral.
Drake looked at Uehara and whispered, âThen there is no other way. I can only send you to Impel Down.â
ââŠâ
Uehara was silent for a while.
Then he slowly nodded.
Uehara looked at Drake and stretched out his hands as if he was waiting for Drake to arrest him.
There was even a smile on Ueharaâs face, âItâs good for you to send me to Impel Down. At least this way, I wonât have to go against my conscience and do evil in the futureâŠâ
ââŠâ
Kabutoâs face stiffened for a second. He subconsciously pushed up his glasses because Kabuto felt his boss was becoming better and better at talking nonsenseâŠ
Drakeâs coldness couldnât be held back. He looked at Uehara in confusion, âUehara, since you dare not betray Baroque Works. Why did you save so many people from the pirates?â
Drake didnât arrest him but continued to ask, âIn fact, you must want to save more people, right? Now, this is an opportunity⊠Please believe in marine; we will never let go of any evil!â
ââŠâ
Uehara fell silent again.
After a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at Drake, âYou guys are too late. No one in this world can stop Baroque Worksâ ambitions anymoreâŠâ
âWhat do you mean?â
âBefore the Baroque Works was discovered by marineâŠâ
Ueharaâs gaze became heavy, âOur goal is to seize the ancient weapon. Now, the Baroque Works boss has already obtained it!â
As Uehara spoke, his eyes gradually darkened. He continued like he was talking about a nightmare, âAs long as our Baroque Works boss is willing, he can easily destroy any country or island in this world! Kill anyone in this world!â
âAncient weaponsâŠâ
Drakeâs face changed.
The legendary ancient weapons â Pluton, Poseidon, and Uranus. Almost all the people in the world have heard of these three ancient weapons, but not many people have mentioned them over the years.
Because it was from ancient times.
Everyone thought that ancient weapons were only legends.
âEven without that weapon, the marine wouldnât be able to deal with him.â
Uehara looked at Drake and his voice gradually became more and more fearful, â⊠That person⊠is the nightmare of the world⊠Even Whitebeard canâtâŠâ
At this point, Uehara seemed to see something. After a flash of horror appeared on his face, he broke away from Drakeâs arm and punched Drake in the face.
As Uehara launched his attack, he urged loudly, âHurry up and leave this place. I almost forgot that the senior agents of the Baroque Works are here to meet me today. They are all the bossâ trusted aides!â
âWhatâŠâ
Drake suddenly blocked Ueharaâs fist.
Just as Drakeâs face was slightly surprised, he suddenly heard a somewhat wanton voice in his ear, âUehara, get out of the way! If this guy is an enemy, then let me kill him!â
A piece of clay suddenly fell on Drakeâs body.
This Rear Admiral couldnât help but look up at the sky. He then saw a giant clay bird flying in the air. His eyes flashed with surprise.
Especially when Drake saw the yellow-haired youth on the giant clay bird, his face changed instantly!
âThat isâŠâ
Drakeâs eyes subconsciously tightened, âExplosive Artist Deidara? Is that guy also a member of Baroque Works?â
âDie!â
Deidara, who was standing on top of the giant clay bird, laughed arrogantly, âHahaha⊠Art is an Explosion! Katsu!â
The next moment, the clay on Drake suddenly exploded!
Drake was caught off guard and was directly blown away.
Uehara took advantage of the situation to launch an attack on Drake. In fact, he was covering Kabuto, who quickly fled with Drake. They then performed a chasing act until Kabuto and Drake hid in a secret store.
After Uehara saw them hide, he directly let them go and led Deidara in another direction.
After Uehara and Deidara left.
Drake breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Kabuto who was helping him bandage his body. He said, âThe Explosive Artist Deidara, destroyed a small island by himself. I didnât expect him to be a member of the Baroque WorksâŠâ
âYour Excellency Rear Admiral, heal your wounds first!â
After Kabuto helped bandage Drakeâs injured arm and shoulder, he continued to say, âDeidara seems to have only done that one thing and was given a bounty of 7.5 million Beli, but his strength may have exceeded those pirates who have a bounty of 100 million BeliâŠâ
âPerhapsâŠâ
Drake nodded and said softly, âAt least we have gained something today. That Ueharaâs attitude has loosenedâŠâ
At this point, Drake took out his Den Den Mushi and dialed Sengokuâs number.
Marineford.
Marine Headquarter.
Sengoku accepts the call, âRear Admiral X Drake, whatâs the matter? I remember that you are recently⊠what? Ancient weapons!â
âYes.â
Drakeâs voice was a bit heavy, âI have already come into contact with Uehara. His attitude has loosened a bit. This is the news I learned from him, but he is still too afraid of the Baroque Works boss.â
After saying this, Drake continued, âThere is one more thing. Explosive Artist Deidara is a senior agent of Baroque WorksâŠâ
âI got it.â
The next moment, Sengokuâs voice suddenly became a little serious. He warned in a deep voice, âYou must find a way to find out all the Baroque Worksâ secrets! I will send someone to help you. If it is about the ancient weaponsâŠâ
âThis is the first mission of the SWORD unit. If it is possible, I hope there is an Admiral who can help at any time.â
Drake looked at the wound on his arm and continued softly, âAccording to the information we got from our first contact with Uehara, the Baroque Works boss doesnât seem to be weak. A Vice Admiral support doesnât seem to be of much helpâŠâ
âI got it.â
After thinking for a while, Sengoku agreed to his request, âAdmiral Aokiji has recently patrolled the Grand Lineâs first half. I will order him to meet with you, cooperate with your actions at any time, and support your mission!â
