Chapter 89: Heading to Amazon Lily

After leaving the hall, Reijin breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt the pressure on his shoulders lessen.

Violet poured two cups of coffee and placed them on the table, sitting beside him.

"Do you have any important tasks for me?"

Kakashi asked lazily.

He sensed that Dressrosa needed development.

Reijin was probably the most anxious one now.

If he could help Reijin, he wouldn't mind at all.

Being idle was boring; he might as well join Reijin's endeavors.

"Indeed, there are some things I need you to do!"

"The development of Dressrosa cannot stop now."

"I need a large amount of money and resources to maintain stability."

Reijin took a sip of coffee and said thoughtfully.

He wasn't afraid of taking too big a step and stumbling; he was afraid of not having the chance to take a step at all.

In the future, having only Dressrosa under his control wouldn't satisfy Reijin.

His current goal was to double his foundation.

"Indeed... everyone's meals depend on you."

Kakashi stroked his chin and nodded.

Kakashi had a rough idea of how much wealth Reijin possessed.

It was enough to keep them fed and clothed.

But building a country...

That was a bottomless pit, capable of consuming any amount of investment.

The resources Reijin brought wouldn't last long for construction.

"So I plan to have you go to the first half of the Grand Line to find an island."

"It's the legendary Sky Island, the City of Gold, where gold is abundant."

"Even if we're extravagant, it can sustain us."

Reijin nodded and said seriously.

Kakashi hadn't reacted yet, but Violet beside him was stunned.

"Isn't that story a lie?"

Violet subconsciously refuted Reijin.

The story of the City of Gold had been circulating in the sea for countless years.

Its location remained a mystery, and in their eyes, the story was completely fabricated.

But unexpectedly, Reijin believed in such an ethereal thing.

"Whether it's a lie or not, we'll only know after we've truly searched for it."

"But according to my information, the City of Gold definitely exists."

"But it requires some special methods to reach it."

Reijin said casually.

He didn't know if the so-called Knock Up Stream existed.

But Reijin planned to have Kakashi go and check it out.

After all, Reijin had some devices that could allow Kakashi to fly tens of thousands of meters high.

Reijin took out the blueprints from the Kamui dimension and handed them to Kakashi. The chakra runes and sealing techniques on them needed to be handled by them.

As for sealing chakra, Reijin didn't need to worry about that for them.

Even with Kakashi's chakra as the unit, it probably wouldn't take long to complete.

"Ahem, it seems there's something you need to solve. The metal that conducts chakra is the most crucial issue."

Kakashi glanced at the blueprints twice, his eyes turning into dead fish eyes as he spoke.

They weren't in the ninja world now, so this kind of metal couldn't be bought even if they wanted to.

This metal was extremely precious, considered a luxury item even in the ninja world.

"Melt down the Uchiha clan's swords and forge five sets first."

Reijin said without hesitation.

He had brought a lot of Uchiha strategic materials.

Even the clan's regular blades, he had brought hundreds of them.

He didn't know how much would be consumed for this.

He was just worried that there wouldn't be enough chakra-conducting metal.

"That's enough, a dozen swords will do."

Kakashi had a rough estimate in mind.

He had someone come in and take these things away, planning to have the various families, including the cranes, study them.

People from the ninja world were versatile, so they had some understanding of this aspect.

Watching them leave, Reijin sighed inwardly at the importance of talent.

He was currently lacking talent.

If he had more talented individuals, he could even assemble a massive army on the sea.

But the Uchiha clan's population was still too small.

"Violet! How do you think we can further expand the Uchiha clan's population?"

Reijin suddenly asked Violet, who was standing there in a daze.

Violet was currently shocked by the abilities Reijin had displayed.

The spatial ability to store objects and other powers.

This man truly had quite a few secrets.

Was this also a Devil Fruit ability?

No!

It should be their family's ability.

No wonder these people at the meeting placed so much emphasis on the purity of their bloodline.

Perhaps only by keeping the family bloodline pure could this power be at its strongest.

"Ah?"

Violet was startled by the question, her face blank.

But she quickly recovered and started thinking for Reijin.

"It might be difficult for the Uchiha clan to find suitable girls in Dressrosa."

"Dressrosa is relatively open-minded in the New World, but they haven't progressed to the point of sharing husbands."

"But I heard that there's an island in the Grand Line called Amazon Lily, also known as Daughter Island. It's entirely populated by women."

"It's a forbidden zone for men. I remember their Empress is also a Warlord of the Sea, like Doflamingo, and is known as the most beautiful woman in the world."

"If you want to expand your clan, I suggest you form a marriage alliance with Amazon Lily. That way, all your clan members can find suitable partners." 

Violet felt a bit awkward but still came up with a solution for Reijin.

In her mind, unless they took in war refugees, people wouldn't be open to the idea of having multiple wives.

Ordinary people would reject such a thing, even in the lawless sea.

Their love wouldn't be so cheap; they would cherish it even more.

But a country isolated from the outside world for years, where people were innocent and naive, might agree to such a thing because of Reijin.

"Amazon Lily! Daughter Island! Boa Hancock!"

Reijin's eyes lit up, and he became energized.

Why hadn't he thought of this before?

It was also strange!

Reijin had been thinking about Devil Fruits.

He was pondering where the unclaimed Devil Fruits were in the sea.

Or before the plot started, see if there was anyone he could intercept.

He hadn't thought about Amazon Lily at all.

But now that Violet mentioned it, Reijin was instantly wide awake.

The people in Dressrosa had their own thoughts and might refuse.

But the women on Amazon Lily were as pure as tofu.

Some of them had never even seen a man.

Wasn't this the perfect target?

He had been racking his brains for a solution.

"Izumi!"

Reijin called softly!

As expected, a figure instantly appeared before him.

Reijin felt a bit speechless but didn't say anything.

Perhaps she had been hurt too deeply in the past and couldn't love anymore.

Even during the clan meeting, she didn't refuse Elder Hiishi's proposal.

She looked like she was resigned to her fate, which was truly heartbreaking.

Now, she basically stayed by Reijin's side every day.

She would appear whenever he called.

"Have Nara Shikaku send a marriage proposal to Amazon Lily!"

"Oh, and have Nara Shikaku bring some people with numb hearts. Their Empress has the power of petrification!"

"Anyone with even a trace of impure thoughts might be turned into a stone statue."

Reijin instructed.

"Yes!"

Uchiha Izumi showed no emotion and instantly disappeared from the room.

Violet's face was filled with shock. This young girl...

...was actually such a powerful figure.

She hadn't even noticed Uchiha Izumi's presence before.

This group was truly full of hidden talents.

After a while, Nara Shikaku arrived.

He was particularly attentive to Reijin's matters now.

"Lord Reijin, does she have a Devil Fruit ability?"

Nara Shikaku asked as soon as he entered.

Reijin explained Hancock's fruit ability.

Information about Devil Fruit abilities was crucial.

As long as they had some understanding, they wouldn't fall into traps.

"I see! What should we do if they don't agree?"

Nara Shikaku understood the difficulty of dealing with this fruit.

But he wasn't too concerned.

Ninjas often didn't need emotions for many tasks.

To resist this ability, pain could be the solution.

"If they don't agree, then replace the Empress of Amazon Lily!"

"Until they agree!"

Reijin said indifferently.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew through the room.

Violet shivered and rubbed her shoulders, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She didn't expect war to be declared so easily, with just a few words.

Countless lives might be lost because of this man.

"I understand. I'll make the arrangements."

Nara Shikaku nodded after a moment of contemplation.

So, the goal was to start a war, right?

After all, with the Uchiha's temperament, no one could accept someone arrogant and always looking down on them.

Marriage alliance?

That was probably out of the question.

It was better to prepare for war.

First, go to Amazon Lily and investigate their strength.

Test their attitude and then decide.

Moreover...

Even Nara Shikaku was interested in that country.

He had never seen such a country in the ninja world.

No...

He heard there was a similar village in the ninja world.

Shikaku left with chaotic thoughts, his mind wandering.

The matters of Dressrosa were left to his subordinates.

As the leader, Reijin was now free.

The Marines were working hard to erase the stain Doflamingo had left on them.

They were actively promoting the news of Reijin becoming the new Warlord of the Sea.

As for Doflamingo, he had great value.

He was currently being held in Impel Down under heavy guard.

This one blow from Reijin had completely broken his will.

He no longer had any desire to read newspapers.

He just wanted to spend the rest of his life in Impel Down.

...

The Marine Headquarters wasn't so idle.

They held a meeting about Uchiha Reijin.

Tsuru had witnessed Reijin activate his Perfect Susanoo.

She had seen that devastating giant with her own eyes.

The Marines had to take some precautions against Uchiha Reijin.

"A giant over a thousand meters tall? Tsuru, you're not joking, are you?"

Garp asked in shock, his mouth agape.

Even giants were only a few dozen meters tall.

Some special monsters were only a hundred meters tall.

And an unknown guy was actually this terrifying.

"Garp, don't interrupt Tsuru."

Sengoku said with dissatisfaction.

It was fine to act like this in the office during normal times.

But in the conference room, he was still the same.

Didn't he see how many people were here?

"Continue, Tsuru."

Sengoku nodded at Tsuru.

"Actually, the most crucial point isn't Uchiha Reijin, but another family."

"According to my investigation, the important one is the family called the Senju of the Forest, because the Uchiha clan lost to that mysterious Senju of the Forest family."

Tsuru said slowly.

She didn't quite believe it herself.

But she gathered intelligence from various sources and still managed to uncover some important information.

"If we can recruit that family, the strength of our Marines will be greatly enhanced. But it's also possible that this is false information released by Uchiha Reijin. However, I think it's necessary to investigate thoroughly."

Tsuru said seriously, her hands crossed under her chin.
