Capítulo 96: Future Plans
---
Kizaru couldn't help but think of the Uchiha, he already fought Uchiha Shisui, knowing his power then there was Uchiha Akira's swordsmanship and the massive, god-like entity that the three Uchihas summoned had left a deep impression on him. He couldn't remember the last time he had been in such a bad state.
And then finally Uchiha Itachi, the youngest of them, already capable of such advanced techniques, having the same amazing power like the rest of them.
"Could there be a clan full of people like them" Kizaru was thinking. "It'll be truly scary. And that Akira, he became so much stronger than last time I met him."
If Akira had chosen to attack earlier, he would have turned tail and run without hesitation.
As he himself had said, he was just a hired worker. There was no need to risk his life over something so trivial.
The others, seeing Admiral Kizaru's blatant nonchalance, dared not press the issue. After all, he was an admiral.
"Hmm… Well, since I'm already here, it'd be irresponsible to leave without doing anything. Let's wipe out all the pirates on the island," Kizaru declared.
"Yes, sir!"
After returning to their ship, Akira immediately activated the Flying Thunder God technique.
Shwoop!
The massive warship vanished in an instant.
When it reappeared, it was already docked at the harbor of Amazon Lily.
"Lady Hancock and Lord Akira have returned!"
The bustling harbor erupted in cheers at the sight of the enormous warship.
The past slave who was a free man now, was utterly baffled. Hadn't he just boarded the ship? How had he arrived in a completely unfamiliar place in the blink of an eye?
The Empress was escorted back to Kuja Castle by her warriors, while Akira and his team returned to the Uchiha clan's resident.
"Akira, who is this?" Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader, noticed the unfamiliar, towering figure Akira had brought back. It was impossible not to be curious.
"His name is Strongbaloo. I saved him. From now on, he'll be an employee of the Uchiha Security Company. Introduce yourself."
"Hello, everyone. I'm Strongbaloo. It's a pleasure to meet you," he said, slightly nervous.
"An employee?" Fugaku was puzzled. Wasn't the security company staffed entirely by clan members? Why recruit outsiders?
Noticing Fugaku's confusion, Akira explained, "I plan to expand the Uchiha Security Company. Our clan alone is too small to compete with other major powers. Also in the future I will establish an Uchiha Alliance for future plans."
"I aim to keep the core leadership within the family but invite others to join, including warriors from Amazon Lily. This way, as our operations grow, we can assign people to oversee various regions of the world."
Fugaku nodded, approving of Akira's vision. He understood that the power of a single clan was limited. After all, what made Konoha strong wasn't just one family's effort but the combined strength of all clans and ordinary shinobi.
"What's your next plan?" Fugaku asked.
"I intend to establish a country to be our Second Headquarters and to build the future Alliance there."

"A country and Alliance?!"
Fugaku was stunned by Akira's ambition. He had thought the plan was merely to expand the company, but Akira had set his sights much higher.
"Akira, founding a country is incredibly challenging!"
"I know it's difficult," Akira replied calmly, "but this is a step we must take. Since it's inevitable, why not plan ahead?"
"A security company is good, but it's still just a company. Even if it reaches the level of the Umbrella Corporation, it's still a business. True power lies in establishing a country."
"To ensure the Uchiha clan's legacy lasts forever, the best path is to have a country."
It wasn't hard to conquer a country. With Shisui's abilities, he could easily take over a country, but that wouldn't suffice.
Seizing a country would only make them thieves in the eyes of others.
Crocodile had nearly succeeded in his plans to usurp the Alabasta Kingdom, only for Luffy to ruin everything.
Doflamingo, however, was a success story—he flawlessly stole the throne of Dressrosa.
Kaido controlled Wano from the shadows, and the other Four Emperors also held territories in the New World.
But what belonged to others would never truly be yours.
Cities like Water 7 were merely partnerships for Akira, primarily for funding. And funds were best used when spent.
He intended to establish a country similar to Konoha but without a daimyo in control. This would be a country where he was the undisputed leader.
And founding a country was just the first step in his grand plan.
Akira's ambition was to elevate the Uchiha clan to a thousand-year legacy, even if it meant clashing with the World Government.
When he attacked the Celestial Dragons earlier, it wasn't because he hated them.
Did he truly despise the Celestial Dragons? Yes but not really.
It was like in his past life—many people hated arrogant rich kids, but the truth was, they didn't hate them; they hated not being one of them.
Who wouldn't want to live a carefree life of luxury, surrounded by wealth and comfort?
Akira was no different. In his past life, his dream had been to save up a million dollars and live off the interest, free from the grind of work.
Unfortunately, reality had crushed that dream. Saving a million was a fantasy when rent alone was a struggle.
So no, he didn't hate the Celestial Dragons; he simply hated that he wasn't one of them.
This was just a metaphor—he didn't truly want to become a Celestial Dragon.
He wanted the Uchiha clan to hold the same status and power as the Celestial Dragons.
Since those who slay dragons inevitably become dragons themselves, why not aim to be the dragon from the start?
"Akira, no matter what you decide, the clan will support you," Fugaku said, his own ambition reignited by Akira's words.
Fugaku had his aspirations. He had once dreamed of leading the Uchiha to power, even contemplating a coup in Konoha.
But after the Nine-Tails incident, the village had found every excuse to marginalize the Uchiha, forcing them to consider rebellion.
If Akira succeeded in founding a country, the Uchiha clan would become royalty.
Akira inquired about the clan's progress.
The members were training hard, and most elite clansmen had mastered Total Concentration Breathing, maintaining it around the clock.
This significantly enhanced their physical capabilities, benefiting their swordsmanship, taijutsu, and Haki training.
After assessing the clan's situation, Akira returned to his quarters.
Tonight, he wouldn't visit Kuja Castle, leaving Hancock to spend the night alone.
There was an issue he had postponed long enough, and it needed resolving.
"Long time no see. Have you forgotten who you are? Muzan Kibutsuji."
