The invasion of Dressrosa was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Some people in Dressrosa had already been replaced by members of the Uchiha clan. Skipping the steps of promotion, they directly disguised themselves as their targets using the Transformation Jutsu. Uchiha figures could be seen in various places, eager for a fierce and decisive battle!
Reijin had gone down to the basement under the villa, which had been newly excavated.
Earlier, Reijin had taken Hinata Hiashi's wife and two children to visit Hiashi. To thank Reijin, Hiashi and his clan activated their Byakugan to full power. In just half a day, they continuously scanned Dressrosa and finally found King Riku, who was living like a vagabond in a street alley.
He slept under the sky with the earth as his bed, too afraid to show his face to anyone. If he were recognized, it would likely mean his death. So, he lived in hiding, not daring to make contact with anyone in Dressrosa, nor to connect with the Navy by Transponder Snail. He had tried once, but instead of the Navy, it was the Donquixote family that came after him. By then, King Riku knew how powerful the Donquixote family was. But he hadn't expected to be captured by a group of strangers.
"Are you Doflamingo's men?" King Riku asked as he looked at Hinata Hiashi standing nearby. This man had a stern expression on his face the entire time, and his eyes were completely white! Was there something wrong with his eyes? But his strength was overwhelming, even defeating opponents that King Riku, who once fought in the Corrida Colosseum, couldn't handle.
Hiashi frowned slightly but didn't respond to King Riku. His orders were to capture this man. Afterward, he still had to go to the Corrida Colosseum to fight.
Since they had come to this world, they couldn't leave empty-handed. This world focused on Taijutsu, and if they could incorporate it into the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist, it would undoubtedly make them stronger.
As for his wife and daughter, there seemed to be no hope for them. They could only serve as hostages in Reijin's hands. Furthermore, Hiashi felt that the clans who had left Konoha were losing their morale.
The Ino-Shika-Cho trio, led by the Nara clan, had already started working for Reijin. Anyone with eyes could see they had already sided with him! The Aburame clan had pledged allegiance to Reijin as soon as they arrived in this world. The remaining clans, like the Inuzuka and Hyuga, were scattered.
As for the Kurama clan, they didn't even have any fight left in them. Every day, they just sat around, slapping themselves and cursing, "Why did we have to get involved in this mess?"
But fortunately, they had Lady Tsunade!
The Senju clan had always been the Uchiha's arch-enemies. In the future, Lady Tsunade would surely overthrow Reijin's rule.
"Click!"

The door to the basement was pushed open, and several figures stood at the entrance.
"Hiashi, your efficiency is impressive!" Reijin entered, immediately praising Hinata Hiashi. Sure enough, under pressure, these people were willing to take action.
People from Konoha aren't usually ruthless. Deep down, they all have a soft spot for their wives and children. Although using their families as leverage might cause them to resent him, Reijin never worried about that. Resentment? Anger? They could vent it all on him. If they could defeat or kill Reijin, he would accept it. But if they couldn't, then they had better work obediently under him.
"Hmph!" Hiashi snorted coldly, still wearing a sullen expression. Without saying much to Reijin, he turned and left the basement. Reijin chuckled, thinking that such an attitude wouldn't last long on the open sea.
Uchiha Izumi glanced coldly at the departing figure, having already sentenced him to death in her mind.
"Who are you people? Are you Doflamingo's subordinates? Pirates? Rebels?" King Riku looked at the three people in front of him, frowning slightly. He had never seen these three within the Donquixote family. Or could they be from the Navy or the World Government? But if that were the case, why would they imprison him in a basement?
"Don't worry, we're none of those things," Reijin shook his head, untying the ropes around King Riku. He motioned for Kakashi to bring over two chairs, and they sat facing each other.
"King Riku, this past year Doflamingo has occupied your country! You must be furious, constantly thinking of taking back your kingdom from that scoundrel," Reijin observed King Riku, who looked filthy. It seemed he had suffered quite a bit over the past year. But suffering was to be expected; after all, he was the weaker side, and could only watch as a pirate ran rampant in his country, almost to the point of sleeping with his wife and beating his children.
Oh! The child was beaten, though.
"Indeed! But what does that have to do with you?" King Riku didn't deny his desire to reclaim his throne. He had been trying, but no one could defeat Doflamingo. Even the strongest warrior in his country was no match for Doflamingo. Wait! What was that warrior's name? Who was it? A flash of confusion crossed King Riku's eyes. He seemed to have remembered something important.
"I can overthrow Doflamingo and make him pay for everything he's done," Reijin noticed King Riku's distracted expression and frowned slightly. At a time like this, thinking about something else? It seemed he wasn't taking Reijin seriously.
"And what do you want in return?"
"After Doflamingo is removed, I will become the new king of this country."
"No way! You're just like Doflamingo, scheming to take over this country. In the end, you're just replacing one tyrant with another!" King Riku shouted in anger, realizing that this man also had designs on his country. Was he supposed to drive away one evil dragon only to let another one take over?
King Riku couldn't do that. After all, Doflamingo hadn't mistreated his people. There hadn't even been any pirate attacks on Dressrosa. In the past year, this country had become more prosperous than it was before. Doflamingo had done quite well in this regard. Perhaps something had happened, but King Riku couldn't remember anymore.
"Have you misunderstood something?" Reijin's expression turned cold, and his black pupils revealed three tomoe. The evil and icy aura radiated from him, making King Riku tremble as if he were seeing a demon.
"I never intended to discuss this with you. Whether you accept it or not, you will have to accept it. After Doflamingo is dethroned, I will marry your second daughter, and this country will be under my control!"
Reijin's cold gaze bore into King Riku as he spoke these cruel truths. Strength is the only foundation for everything. Without strength, one can only sit and be at the mercy of others, just like King Riku now.
The rules of the sea have always been survival of the fittest. The strong make the rules.
