Normal workday

Mayor Iceburg's anxiety faded, his confidence restored by Akira's reassurance. He couldn't yet grasp the full strength of Uchiha Security Company, but based on the sheer power displayed by Akira, Shisui, and Itachi, he knew only Admiral can make them go all out.

After hanging up, Akira teleported to a nearby island where the Uchiha clan had been training. This island was dense with resources and home to fierce beasts, an ideal setting to hone their skills without disturbing others.

Here the top ten Uchiha had a hard training in all Techniques they have learned, making them even more powerful than before especially with the right usage of all these skills together.

"President!" The ten Uchiha shinobi, now formal members of Uchiha Security Company, greeted him respectfully.

"You've all trained hard, and now I need you in Seven Waters," Akira announced. "Capture any troublemakers and, if possible, bring in pirates with bounties—alive. We'll hand them over to the World Government and claim the bounty."

Excitement filled the group. They'd been itching for action, and this was their chance to test their strength.

Akira used the Flying Thunder God Technique to transport the team to the Uchiha Security Company's office in the city of Water Seven. Upon arrival, Mayor Iceburg welcomed them, his relief palpable.

"Mr. Akira, the city is uneasy. Rumors about the Marines and pirates might be attacking have everyone on edge," Iceburg said. Though the citizens trusted their mayor, the abrupt Marine evacuation had stirred fears among them.

Akira introduced the squad, appointing Uchiha Inari as the team leader. Iceburg noted Inari's composed demeanor and skilled appearance, and he was reassured. "Leave it to us," Inari replied, a fierce resolve evident in his tone.

Just as Akira was about to depart, a voice echoed through the streets. "Uchiha Akira, you finally showed yourself! I'll make a name by taking you down today!"

A group of pirates had gathered, shouting curses and challenging him. Before Akira could respond, Inari and the team bristled with anger, their loyalty to Akira making them unwilling to tolerate such disrespect.

Without hesitation, Inari activated his Sharingan and swiftly dispatched the lead pirate with a single kick, sending him crashing into a wall. The rest of the Uchiha team joined in, systematically neutralizing the pirates.

As the dust settled, Iceburg marveled at their efficiency. These were formidable warriors, leagues beyond any typical pirate.

"Don't beat them to death," Akira reminded his team with a smirk. "Each of these fools is worth a tidy sum and they will be more useful alive in the future."

"Yes! President!" The Uchiha team promptly halted their attacks.

"That's the pirate Seawolf Rhodes, with a bounty of 35 million Berries!" one of them exclaimed.

"What?!" Uchiha Inari and the others were astonished. In Konoha, their yearly salary was barely 2 million Berries, and here, a single pirate was worth their salary for more than a decade. The idea of such wealth made their eyes shine with excitement.

Iceburg, the mayor, watched nervously, surprised by Akira's audacity in profiting off the World Government's bounties. Akira, sensing his unease, smiled and assured him, "Rest easy, Mayor Iceburg. With Uchiha Security here, Water Seven is safe. We'll handle all pirate threats—and you keep any ships we seize. We'll split the earnings fifty-fifty."

"Thank you!" Iceburg agreed, feeling reassured.

With a swift wave, Akira vanished, reappearing in Kuja City.

"Hancock, I'm back," he called, his voice warm. Since their relationship began, Akira made every effort to be with her as often as possible.

Hancock, her cheeks tinted pink, responded softly, "But you were just here not long ago…"

"I already missed you, Hancock." Akira stepped closer, his gaze tender as he approached her.

He wrapped his arms around her, whispering, "Hancock, I love you." Hancock's face flushed a deeper red as she felt his embrace, knowing what the night had in store.

Another wild night awaited the couple, bound together in their own world.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Inari and the others reassured Iceburg, "If anyone causes trouble, call our company. We'll handle it."

"Then I'll trouble you all." Iceburg was impressed by their professionalism.

"No trouble at all; this is the mission of the Uchiha Security Company," replied Uchiha Inari politely, knowing the man before him was a vital client. For them, this mayor held a status akin to that of the noble daimyo back in the ninja world.

As he was incredibly generous—a 6 billion Berry salary every year! When Akira first revealed this number, they could hardly believe it. The sum was beyond anything they had imagined, far exceeding the financial support even the wealthiest daimyos provided.

Furthermore, this wasn't just a short-term deal. With a ten-year contract, the commitment was serious, and the mayor's investment was unprecedented. Naturally, Inari and his team resolved to serve him with the utmost dedication.

Suddenly, a pirate's voice boomed nearby, "Uchiha Akira! Show yourself!"

Before the pirate could say another word, Uchiha Inari silenced him with a swift move, sending him crashing to the ground.

"How much is he worth?" Inari asked calmly.

"Uh... 25 million Berries!" a younger pirate stammered.

Inari smirked, pleased. They'd already made more than 60 million Berries, and they were only just beginning. But he knew that real money wouldn't come easily; high-bounty pirates were scarce, and many were far deadlier than these fools. Still, it was a promising start.

He turned to Iceburg. "Mr. Iceburg, could you direct me to where we collect bounties? And perhaps help us get a complete list of World Government bounties?"

Iceburg agreed, and soon Inari returned with 60 million Berries. When he relayed the news to Uchiha Fugaku and the other clan members, excitement spread. The idea of venturing out, earning fortunes, and building a future for their family filled them with pride and ambition.

Uchiha Fugaku, looking at his clan with satisfaction, addressed them, "Akira has given us this opportunity. We must all work hard to uphold the Uchiha name and protect our company's honor. That's the honor of the Uchiha clan!"

"Yes, Patriarch!"

One of the members then handed Fugaku three wanted posters—for Akira, Shisui, and Itachi. Fugaku chuckled, "Our Uchiha clan has finally made its mark on this world. This recognition is a sign of strength—don't let the clan's name be tarnished."

The clan members, hearts ablaze with ambition, looked forward to the day they would be on those wanted posters with high bounties of their own. They believed their time would come.
