**Chapter 95: Appointing a Navy Admiral**

A huge wave came crashing down, completely submerging Uchiha Izumi.

"It seems like your mochi loses its stickiness when it encounters water!"

"Every type of Devil Fruit seems to have its weaknesses."

"It's not just Seastone; there are also natural vulnerabilities."

A man stood on a nearby building, a long sword strapped to his back. His face was wrapped in bandages, and his eyes shone with a sharp glint. 

He performed a series of hand signs, and the torrent of water was conjured by him. 

This was Zabuza, accompanied by a small figure by his side. 

It was Haku! Looking quiet and cute. 

"This kind of murderous intent..."

Katakuri wasn't angered by this unexpected incident. 

He was more concerned about the killing intent radiating from Zabuza. 

This murderous aura must have taken countless lives to cultivate. 

He didn't expect to find such a formidable character in this country. 

"Zabuza! This is my fight."

Uchiha Izumi didn't seem grateful at all, hurriedly standing up. 

She stood on the water's surface, coldly glancing at Zabuza. 

"I'm sorry, but Lord Reijin doesn't want your eyes to go blind just like that, so let's take on this guy together."

Zabuza drew the long sword from his back and spoke coolly. 

He knew dealing with the Uchiha clan was never straightforward. 

He came to save this girl's life, yet she didn't even appreciate it. 

She even seemed to disdain him, which made Zabuza quite displeased. 

But despite his displeasure, he had to suppress his emotions. 

After all, this place was currently under the rule of the Uchiha clan. 

"Fine!"

Uchiha Izumi was taken aback for a moment, touching her eye sockets. 

Her vision was already becoming increasingly blurred. 

But she didn't want to go down without a fight. At the very least, she wanted to achieve something significant before losing her sight. 

She had thought she had hidden her eye condition well. 

But it was still discovered by Lord Reijin. 

"As expected, your ability has great risks. Overusing it will cause blindness? Is all your power reliant on those eyes?" 

Katakuri sneered, having roughly guessed the nature of Uchiha Izumi's abilities. 

No power comes without risks, even Devil Fruits carry the curse of the sea. 

This group of people with such strong abilities must also face risks. 

"But it's more than enough to deal with you." 

Uchiha Izumi glared coldly at Katakuri. 

She wasn't without a chance to defeat this guy. 

After all, her dojutsu was incredibly unique! 

Even Amaterasu could be severed. 

She wondered if she could temporarily cut off the opponent's powers. 

"A tsunami! A tsunami is coming!"

"What tsunami?"

"How is there a tsunami in Dressrosa?"

"It looks like there are people on top of it."

At this moment, shouts were heard from afar. 

The residents, who had been watching the battle, quickly fled towards the town center, bypassing the combatants. 

Dressrosa was clearly surrounded by massive rocks on all sides. 

So how could there be a tsunami coming? 

This was something they couldn't understand. 

"You... can actually control the seawater!" 

Katakuri's pupils flashed red. 

He saw a future vision, and it left him utterly shocked. 

This group in front of him seemed to have no limits, constantly shattering his understanding. 

"Crash!"

A monstrous wave surged up behind him, threatening to engulf all of Dressrosa. 

This scene made people's legs tremble uncontrollably just from the sight. 

Even Katakuri, who was accustomed to large-scale battles, was momentarily shaken. 

Katakuri saw five or six figures standing atop the wave. 

It was clear these people were controlling the seawater. 

"If we get soaked in seawater, we'll lose our powers. In the sea, we'd be like lambs to the slaughter for these guys."

Katakuri had already seen his fate. 

He hadn't expected this member of the Seven Warlords, whom he had not taken seriously, to possess such abilities. 

This was even more absurd than the giant skeletal figure from before. 

After all, seawater is the ultimate weapon at sea. 

Countless pirates on the sea possess Devil Fruit abilities. 

This group that can control seawater would be the nemesis of all Devil Fruits. 

"Nii-san, let's retreat for now!"

At this moment, a thin figure appeared beside Katakuri. 

Brûlée! 

A member of the Big Mom Pirates. 

A Mirror-Mirror Fruit user. 

"Alright! Let's report today's events to Mama first."

Katakuri hesitated for a moment, but seeing the massive tsunami behind him, he decided to flee the battlefield. 

"Water Prison Technique!"

Just then, a figure emerged from a puddle at Katakuri's feet. 

In an instant, a spherical water prison formed around Brûlée. 

"Hmm?"

Caught off guard, Brûlée was immediately trapped in place. 

"Brûlée!"

Katakuri shouted in a low voice, thrusting his earthen dragon at Zabuza, but it only struck a water clone. 

The clone dissolved and disappeared right before Katakuri's eyes. 

At the same moment, the water prison shattered, and Katakuri and Brûlée unhesitatingly dove into the mirror. 

"This guy is definitely not ordinary; if that had hit me, I would have been instantly pulverized." 

Zabuza's figure coalesced beside Uchiha Izumi. 

He wore a slightly displeased expression. 

His assassination techniques were now useless in this world. 

Everyone had observation haki, and it used to be that only the Byakugan could see through his movements. 

Now, he was practically worthless and would have to relearn his assassination techniques to match up. 

"..." 

Uchiha Izumi ignored Zabuza and just stared at the massive tsunami in front of her. 

How could she stop this? 

The few people controlling the tsunami were already at their limit. 

They likely wouldn't be able to execute precise control any longer.

--

"How about letting me handle this trouble for you?"

Garp, wearing his Justice cape, walked forward.

He planned to help Dressrosa deal with the tsunami. By then, Tsunade would probably have to go along with it and owe him a favor, right? Garp had carefully thought this through.

"There's no need!"

At that moment, Raijin's figure suddenly appeared beside Garp.

How could he not have noticed the two fierce battles that took place in Dressrosa? 

The appearance of the Big Mom Pirates was unexpected, though. They weren't part of the original script.

"So, this is Uchiha Raijin?"

Garp squinted his eyes. This kid was truly a dangerous individual.

No wonder Tsunade couldn't escape. This guy had already earned his place to stand tall on the seas.

"Tekka!"

Raijin shouted.

He didn't plan to give the Navy a chance to show off.

The next moment! 

The ground began to shake, and a massive wall rose at the edge of the town.

The wall continued to grow taller and thicker, fiercely blocking the tsunami.

Boom!

The seawater continuously pounded against the wall.

You could see slight cracks appearing.

But they were quickly repaired.

"Whoa!"

The seawater receded.

Dressrosa regained its calm once more.

The people who had been fleeing earlier could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Lord Raijin, the water has receded."

The ground twisted, transforming into Uchiha Tekka.

Now, his use of the Stone-Stone Fruit powers was becoming smoother.

He could basically do everything Pica could do before.

But if he wanted to cover a larger area, he'd need much more stamina.

Otherwise, like just now, it would consume nearly half his strength.

"You did well this time. Keep training."

Raijin was very satisfied with this water-style technique.

Even though it was the first time he experimented with it in Dressrosa.

But in the future, he would have to pull this stunt on other people's turf.

As for those on other people's turf, what did they have to do with him?

Uchiha Tekka left with a look of excitement on his face, leading his men away.

"It's a pity we didn't manage to capture one of Big Mom Pirates' top officers."

"I was quite interested in that Mirror-Mirror Fruit ability."

Raijin looked regretfully at the spot where Katakuri had been standing.

All that was left there was a shattered mirror.

"…"

Uchiha Izumi felt a little ashamed and lowered her head.

She should have been able to stop them from leaving.

But to save her eye power, she didn't do it.

"That's Big Mom's subordinate you're talking about; you think it's that easy to capture them?"

"Our Navy has a decent fruit ability too. I wonder if you'd be interested? It's called the Door-Door Fruit, which can open a door to any location."

Garp suddenly approached Raijin and said.

He thought this guy had guts.

He actually dared to take on Charlotte Linlin's people, without any regard for a major pirate.

But what's done is done, and Garp didn't see a need to say more.

He'd report back to Sengoku later.

After all, this reckless person was brought in by Tsuru.

It's their headache to deal with him now.

"Are you saying you want to trade a Paramecia-type fruit for Tsunade?"

"Navy, do you think I'm such a fool?"

Raijin looked at Garp and asked.

To exchange a Paramecia-type fruit for Tsunade—what a laughable proposition.

Though Raijin was tempted.

But Tsunade wasn't worth that little, not by a long shot.

"Uchiha Raijin, you dare treat me like a commodity!"

Tsunade glared furiously at Raijin.

In an instant, several people stood around Tsunade, surrounding her.

"Hahaha! Don't be so hasty! If you have any conditions, feel free to propose them, and I can check with Sengoku if he'd agree."

Garp laughed heartily and glanced at Tsunade.

So she was captured, huh?

It felt like they were being played!

Paying such a big price!

But what's done is done, and it seemed too late to back out.

Garp contacted nearby Navy to have her taken away.

The tsunami just now sank about seventy percent of the ships at the harbor.

Luckily, he didn't bring many people this time.

Only about a dozen unlucky ones were lost to the sea.

But there was nothing he could do. He couldn't save them.

…

Raijin watched Garp disappear, then turned his gaze to Uchiha Izumi.

"Your eyes are nearly blind, aren't they?"

Raijin approached Izumi.

She was pushing herself too hard!

She didn't have Itachi's illness.

But by recklessly using the Mangekyo Sharingan.

She was almost becoming the next Sasuke.

"I can endure it."

Uchiha Izumi said reluctantly.

Her eyes couldn't even see Raijin's face clearly without activating the Sharingan, but she still didn't want to admit defeat, putting on a brave face.

"…"

Raijin was speechless. This stubborn attitude was hard to assess.

"Come with me!"

Raijin led Uchiha Izumi to a hospital on the street.

Inside, it was crowded, with countless patients making noise.

Raijin led her to the third basement floor.

There, a surgery room awaited.

"Whoosh!"

A white figure dropped to the ground.
