Chapter 85: The Arrogance of the World Government

Reijin put away the flaming fan in his hand, and his Sharingan eyes returned to normal.

Becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea would greatly benefit Reijin's future development.

Primarily, since he wasn't a pirate, the Navy wouldn't specifically target him.

They might even grant him certain privileges.

This would allow Reijin to integrate into this world more quickly and gain many advantages.

However, it's important to consider the downsides as well.

Reijin's personality would never allow him to become a lackey for the World Government.

"First, let's suppress Doflamingo!"

Reijin didn't intend to make a deal with the Navy on the spot.

Right now, it wasn't just one buyer interested in Doflamingo.

There were other buyers as well.

For example, Doflamingo's old home, Mary Geoise.

The people there definitely didn't want Doflamingo to live.

"Yes!"

Two Uchiha ninjas approached and borrowed a pair of Seastone handcuffs from the Navy.

They pulled Doflamingo out of the deep pit.

But just as they did, the sound of something cutting through the air came from a distance.

"Soru!"

Two figures in white masks moved swiftly through the air.

To the naked eye, only flashes of their movement could be seen, their bodies were too fast to track.

The two Uchiha Jōnin easily caught the movements with their Sharingan.

But the speed was too great; even if their eyes could keep up, their bodies couldn't.

"Boom!"

A gust of wind arose, sweeping the two ninjas into the distance.

Reijin gripped his fan tightly, his expression cold as he stared at the two CP0 agents.

He hadn't expected that the World Government had people hiding in this country.

Even more so, that they would try to silence Doflamingo as soon as he was defeated.

Reijin knew that Doflamingo, having left Mary Geoise, held some secrets from there.

These secrets couldn't be exposed to the world, as doing so would likely result in a bloody storm.

But these people had the audacity to try and kill someone right in front of him.

"CP0?"

Tsuru's face showed some surprise. She hadn't expected the World Government to be so focused on Doflamingo.

This made her even more determined to capture him.

"What gives you the audacity to try and take my spoils of war?"

Reijin's voice was cold as he spoke.

His Mangekyō Sharingan spun in his eyes.

The CP0 agents could clearly sense the evil aura coming from Reijin.

This guy was more evil than any pirate, it was ingrained in his very being.

"We are CIPHER POL, under the World Government. Hand over Doflamingo to us."

"Hand him over, and the World Government will give you anything you desire."

The CP0 agent's white coat fluttered as he spoke with no respect for Reijin, using a tone that was more of a command.

To them, granting this promise was a gift from the Five Elders.

Indeed, during Reijin's battle, they had already contacted the Five Elders.

The Five Elders' orders were clear: at any cost, kill Doflamingo or retrieve him from Uchiha Reijin.

As for the cost, they believed there was nothing in this world beyond their reach.

"So, are you commanding me?"

Reijin's tone grew heavier.

"This is an order from the Five Elders, don't be foolish."

The leading CP0 agent was taken aback, not expecting this guy to question them.

The authority of the World Government was not something people in this world questioned.

If it weren't for Reijin's strength, they would have already tried to take Doflamingo by force.

"Heh, if you want Doflamingo, then show me what your World Government is made of."

"The World Government claims to be the gods of this world; they should be far stronger than Doflamingo."

A smile spread across Reijin's face as his chakra surged, and his figure vanished like a ghost.

Only faint shadows of his movement could be seen in the air.

Even with advanced Observation Haki, only afterimages could be captured.

This showed just how fast Reijin was.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the two agents were sent flying as if hit by a train.

A shockwave rippled through the air as they were knocked back.

Their eyes filled with disbelief; they hadn't expected that the power Reijin had shown earlier was only the tip of the iceberg.

They had assumed he was fighting at full strength before, but they now realized that his power seemed limitless.

The air trembled as one of the CP0 agents lay on the ground, unable to rise.

As for the other, Reijin now held his fan to the agent's neck.

"Is this all your strength?"

Reijin's fan pressed against the CP0 agent's throat, ready to end his life with a single move.

These CP0 agents were far weaker than expected, likely only there to keep an eye on Doflamingo.

Their strength was comparable to a mere officer in the Donquixote Family.

The World Government, with all its power, shouldn't have such weak agents.

But what surprised Reijin the most was that they were most skilled in using Tekkai (Iron Body).

Countless Navy soldiers and World Government elites had perished relying on Tekkai.

The World Government never seemed to learn or improve.

And now, facing Reijin, who wielded monstrous strength, Tekkai was utterly useless.

If they had spent that time mastering Armament Haki instead, they might have stood a chance.

The CP0 agent's face was pale, blood and sweat dripping onto the ground, his heart filled with despair.

He hadn't expected to be so easily defeated by Reijin.

How could he face the Five Elders after this?

But Reijin wasn't going to give him the chance to go back.

This made Reijin very displeased.

And when Reijin was displeased, it meant someone was going to die.

"Slash!"

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Reijin calmly raised his fan.

In an instant!

A perfectly good head fell to the ground.

From a distance, Tsuru watched with a bit of unease.

This guy had no respect for the World Government at all.

This kind of lawless person was much more troublesome than any pirate on the seas.

But at the same time, Tsuru felt somewhat relieved!

With Reijin killing this CP0 agent, it was unlikely that the World Government would cooperate with him now.

This meant the only option left for Reijin was to cooperate with the Navy.

As long as the Navy could offer a price that satisfied Reijin, it would be enough.

"Yamanaka Haiichi! They're yours now."

Reijin's gaze shifted to Yamanaka Haiichi, who was casually strolling nearby.

Ninjas like him weren't suited for chaotic battles like this.

Against ordinary ninjas, he was just a Jōnin with strong taijutsu.

They excelled more at gathering information!

"Yes, sir!"

Yamanaka Haiichi's face showed a bit of excitement.

The Navy's Rokushiki (Six Powers) was finally within their grasp.

For the Yamanaka Clan, even if someone was dead, they could still extract memories from their brains.

As long as the brain tissue was intact, they could find some remnants!

By analyzing the muscle structure, they could gather information and decipher the Rokushiki techniques.

Moreover, there was another person nearby who was barely alive.

That alone was more than enough for them!

The Yamanaka Clan had long coveted these abilities.

These techniques could greatly enhance their own skills.

"Cough, cough, it's best not to detain World Government agents!"

"If the World Government finds out, it will cause big trouble."

Tsuru cautioned Reijin with a reminder.

The World Government wasn't something to be trifled with.

If Reijin did this, the World Government might consider him an enemy.

And that was a scenario the Navy didn't want to see.

"Trouble? Maybe there will be some trouble!"

"But who cares?"

Reijin chuckled as he watched Doflamingo and the others being carried away.

He took Tsuru's warning lightly.

Although the Celestial Dragons were currently at the top, let's see what happens in twenty years.

Who will truly be the gods of this world then?

As Reijin's battle came to an end, so did the fight on the other side.

With Doflamingo defeated, the Donquixote Family no longer had the strength to resist.

The weaklings were slaughtered, and only a few of the officers remained.

Some of the main officers had already fallen under the blades of the Uchiha Clan.

The most outstanding among them were Ino-Shika-Chō, Kakashi, and Uchiha Izumi.

As for the other Uchiha, they were just average.

Mainly because not many Uchiha had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Currently, only Reijin and Izumi possessed it in the entire clan.

Some might have the potential to awaken the Mangekyō, but they weren't prepared to lose their loved ones.

Reijin wouldn't pursue greater power at the expense of his clan members.

The Uchiha were already few in number, and if he kept sacrificing them, it would truly be up to him alone to revive the clan.

Meanwhile, the Navy cooperated with the Uchiha to capture the remaining Donquixote soldiers.

Some Navy officers were sent to calm the citizens.

Reijin, holding a trump card like King Riku, finally put it to good use.

He stepped forward to reassure the people, and even those who once served under King Riku immediately surrendered.

Due to the incident of people being turned into toys, Doflamingo's reputation had plummeted to the lowest point.

Now, everyone was eager for Doflamingo's downfall.

No one cared about him anymore.

However, the battle had caused great losses to Dressrosa.

A quarter of the island's buildings had been reduced to ruins.

Countless people had lost their lives in this conflict.

On the Royal Plateau, Reijin looked at the buildings before him with satisfaction.

Though they weren't much, now…

They belonged to the Uchiha!

As long as it was his, it all looked good to him.

At last, he had carved out a piece of the Pirate World for himself.

"Boom!"

The gates of the castle opened, and maids came out from both sides, bowing respectfully to welcome Reijin.

Their bodies trembled constantly; they already viewed Reijin as a demon.

"King Riku! I've conquered this country. You should announce who the new ruler of this nation is, right?"

As Reijin was about to step forward, he suddenly remembered and asked.

"...Of course, when you marry my daughter, I will officially hand over the throne to you."

King Riku nodded helplessly.

This was already an irreversible situation.

Besides, Dressrosa needed a strong king.

Not just a wise ruler, but one with power as well.

"Good!"

Reijin nodded and walked into the palace.

Soon after, the Uchiha Clan cheered wildly, following Reijin into the palace with fervor.
