The day after Doflamingo left, news about Uchiha defeating an Admiral and also Big Big mom's First Commander being defeated immediately made headlines.
There was also a photo of Katakuri tied up, which Uchiha Tamahiko provided to the newspaper to verify its authenticity and to deter ordinary pirates from challenging him.
After all, even the Four Emperors receive numerous challengers every year, let alone someone who has declared himself a Four Emperor.
This news quickly ignited public opinion on the seas, with many people discussing the matter.
Both the Marine and Big Big mom's forces were impacted, and their prestige took a hit.
After Sakazuki regained consciousness and learned everything, he fell silent. He found it difficult to accept his defeat at the hands of a wanted criminal, especially in such a manner!
'You will soon take over the position of Fleet Admiral, don't be discouraged, Sakazuki.'
"Losing once is nothing. As long as you win it back later, you still have a chance. The Marine is in your hands!"
Sengoku comforted Sakazuki.
He didn't have too many objections to Sakazuki; he just preferred Kuzan a bit more. Moreover, the heavy burden of the Marine would still need to be borne by Sakazuki.
"I will not lose again!"
"The humiliation I've suffered, I will wash it away sooner or later!"
Sakazuki said very calmly.
However, Sengoku noticed that Sakazuki's fists were clenched tightly, completely unlike his calm exterior.
He nodded and said nothing more.
The Gorosei were very dissatisfied with the Marine after the Marineford War. This time, the defeat of two Admirals could only be blamed on him, because the Gorosei believed that the Marine should have gone all out, using all of the Marine's elites to attack Uchiha Tamahiko.
So they wanted him to step down early and let Sakazuki take over to clear the obstacles on the sea.
"Uchiha!!"
Meanwhile, on Big Big mom's side, Charlotte Linlin let out a furious roar after reading the news, her voice shattering the surrounding candy houses, furniture, and other items.
She didn't care that one of her sons was captured by the opponent; what she cared more about was Big Big mom losing such combat power and the blow to Big Big mom's prestige.
Profit was what she cared about most.
A group of her children around her, seeing Big mom like this, none dared to go up and dissuade her.
"As expected, he's not a simple character, Uchiha!"
Red-Haired Shanks's expression was solemn after reading the news.
If what the news said was true, then this Uchiha's strength was even greater than he had imagined.
"Both the Marine and pirates have been defeated by him one after another. It seems that no one can stop this Uchiha from becoming a Four Emperor."
Beckman analyzed this after taking a bite of a large piece of meat.
A Four Emperor-level strength that was almost unknown; he felt that they would inevitably have dealings with him in the future.
Moreover, the former Four Emperor Whitebeard Pirates have not been completely eliminated yet. Ace's strength is rapidly growing in battle; even an Admiral can contend with him for a short time, he is not a character that ordinary people can challenge.
But now, facing Uchiha, the Whitebeard Pirates have no chance of winning.
"Ace and the others can still grow, and there will be opportunities in the future. And Luffy, he will be part of the new generation. I just don't know if this Uchiha Tamahiko is also a member of the new generation!"
Shanks said.
"Uchiha, that's Doflamingo's former partner, right."
"Interesting. Linlin must be very angry now. Will she just go and kill him?"
Kaido didn't have too many thoughts on this.
After all, he had already obtained the thing he wanted most from Doflamingo's hands, which was the Artificial Devil Fruit. Now his own people were watching over the factory.
He didn't care about a new Four Emperor; everything he was striving for now was for that ultimate goal, to become Joy Boy.
"Doflamingo shouldn't be colluding with this Uchiha to put on a show, right?"
King, however, showed a suspicious expression.
After all, Uchiha's chosen base was Doflamingo's former territory, Dressrosa.
He planned to have someone investigate to confirm the situation and avoid trouble.
"You haven't received the Gorosei's approval, so the Admiral will be Sakazuki."
"Tomorrow they will bring the ransom, and then you can leave."
Uchiha Tamahiko explained the current situation to Kuzan, who had woken up in the cage.
After hearing this, Kuzan fell silent.
He found it somewhat difficult to accept this, but reality was even more outrageous than he had imagined.
However, he didn't tamper with reality now, only concealed a part, making his reality public.
Returning to the Marine, he would become a disgrace, and he no longer had the desire to continue serving as an Admiral.
"Is your goal also that great treasure?"
Kuzan looked at Uchiha Tamahiko and asked.
He couldn't understand. If the other party was a pirate, wouldn't it be better to kill two Admirals?
Letting them leave would bring very serious consequences, and he would not make the same mistake again.
"Overthrow this world."
"This is what I want to do, to overturn that so-called world."
Uchiha Tamahiko pointed upwards, meaning the World Government.
Kuzan's expression became solemn. He looked at the man and couldn't help but continue to ask, "Are you a Revolution Army member?"
"No, I am a true god."
Uchiha Tamahiko shook his head and then said.
When fooling such people, the more exaggerated, the better. They're not his own people, so there's no need to teach them how to prevent fraud.
Kuzan was stunned for a moment, his eyes strange, but he didn't continue to ask.
"If you can't continue to serve as an Admiral when you return to the Marine, and you're not planning to be a Marine anymore, then come find me."
"Come here and be my second-in-command. Feel free to clean up pirates on the sea; don't worry about so much. The pirates' wrath will be borne by me. You just go ahead and do it."
Uchiha Tamahiko formally extended an invitation to Kuzan.
Join our Uchiha and start a business together.
"You are truly strange."
Kuzan looked at Uchiha Tamahiko and said, somewhat speechless.
Uchiha Tamahiko was also stunned for a moment, feeling like his talk-no-jutsu ability was lacking.
Indeed, even with the first hokage cells, he couldn't inherit Ashura's talk-no-jutsu ability!
This was the Uchiha bloodline's only flaw!
Uchiha Tamahiko didn't continue to try and persuade him. Planting a seed was enough. Unless Kuzan was willing to retire in the Marine like Zephyr and Garp, there would be no other way.
As long as he still had some ambition, he would definitely go out to sea. His place was the best choice; after all, the conditions had been laid out.
The next day, after receiving the money, Uchiha Tamahiko released Kuzan.
Kakuzu happily counted the money. Although it wasn't his own money, he was very happy just counting it.
"Next is the ownership of Dressrosa and Doflamingo's business."
Uchiha Tamahiko watched the Marine warship leave, then turned and walked towards the Dressrosa Royal Palace.
If they don't listen, then replace them.
