บท 89: Chapter 90: The Demands Are Too Much
"We really should investigate this thoroughly! But do you know anything about their ninjutsu, Tsuru?" Sengoku asked.
They had absolutely no information about these mysterious ninjas.
But they were skilled in using various ninjutsu.
Wano also had ninjas.
But they were all Devil Fruit users.
The ninjas of Dressrosa were the real deal.
He didn't know much about ninjutsu, but they were able to use it to the extent of Devil Fruits.
This was enough to cause the Marines to take serious notice.
"I don't know yet!"
Tsuru shook her head. The origins of these guys were too mysterious.
None of them mentioned their original homeland.
No matter how they asked, there was no way to get any information.
They had yet to get the intelligence they wanted from these guys.
"Search around Dressrosa! I feel like these guys' goal is definitely more than this."
"What they want is definitely more. Their ambition is definitely not just a Warlord position."
Sengoku said in a deep voice.
Through Vice Admiral Tsuru's narration, he understood that these guys were arrogant.
When Tsuru mentioned the Marines, that Uchiha Reijin's face even showed disdain.
As if in his eyes, the Marines were not taken seriously at all.
And it seemed that he also held the World Government in contempt.
Upon hearing about the so-called "Gods".
Whether it was Uchiha Reijin or the other ninjas.
It was said that they all showed a ridiculous expression.
What these guys were thinking, they had no idea.
"Why don't I go and see these so-called ninjas?"
"It's been a long time since I've seen such interesting youngsters."
At this time, Garp spoke up carelessly.
He was very interested in ninjas and the like.
If he could recruit a couple for the Marines, it would definitely be interesting.
In the conference room, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Garp was thinking on a whim.
Could it be that Garp felt close to these people? Or did he know them?
The Hero Garp's status in the Marines was terrifyingly high. Only the Fleet Admiral had the qualifications to say a few words.
Even the newly appointed Three Admirals were incredibly obedient in front of Garp.
"Alright, you go and investigate those guys thoroughly."
Sengoku had absolute confidence in Garp's strength.
There were probably very few people in the sea who could stop Garp.
Even if Uchiha Reijin had other ideas.
He definitely wouldn't be able to stop Garp.
Garp nodded in satisfaction.
The topic of discussion in the Marine conference room shifted to Doflamingo.
Someone who held some secrets of Mary Geoise, the Marines planned to have him strictly guarded.
They couldn't let those guys from Mary Geoise assassinate him.
There was also the subsequent selection of Warlords!
But with the current situation in the sea, there were very few people who could serve as Warlords.
They wanted to once again select a king as powerful as Reijin.
Someone without the influence of pirates, but who could also serve as a Warlord.
But there simply wasn't such an existence in the sea.
This was what was truly giving them a headache.
Dressrosa was still in the reconstruction phase.
The next day, Reijin received the news that Kakashi had left on a ship.
Kakashi had spent a lot of effort to create two flying devices.
The chakra stored inside could allow him to fly to an island in the sky ten thousand meters high.
Just this data alone had taken a lot of their effort.
The flying iron wings created by the Sky Ninja Village still had a high level of technology involved.
It was just that the devices were too poor and couldn't last long.
They didn't even have defensive capabilities and could only serve as shock troops.
But for Reijin, this was enough.
Nara Shikaku also left Dressrosa after assisting Kakashi in creating the flying iron wings.
They were already close to the Amazon Lily's territory, and everyone on the ship was ready.
"Lord Shikaku, will such unreasonable demands really be agreed to?"
A member of the Hyuga branch family asked with a twitching mouth.
He felt that the demands Reijin made were completely asking Amazon Lily to be their slaves.
Even a dog would shake its head at such demands.
A normal person probably wouldn't agree to Reijin's demands.
If they did agree, they would have to be careful.
"Whether they agree or not, the outcome is already determined! They don't need to agree at all."
"Do you think Reijin's personality would allow for such allies?"
"From the beginning to the end, what they want are subordinates who depend on them."
Nara Shikaku shook his head with a helpless expression.
The Senju clan might genuinely pursue peace.
But the Uchiha clan believed that peace was achieved through fighting.
This was clearly the Uchiha eyeing the Amazon Lily's territory.
They were planning to invade under some pretext.
"That's right!"
Even the members of the Uchiha clan nearby subconsciously nodded.
Feeling something was amiss, they immediately put on arrogant expressions.
Uchiha Reijin was the current pride of their clan.
His reputation wasn't much different from Uchiha Madara's back in the day.
Now, within the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Reijin was the hope of everyone.
Even though he made some unreasonable demands!
They still saw Reijin as their pride.
"So what are we doing here?"
The Hyuga branch family ninja's face twitched, feeling that this trip wouldn't go smoothly.
Then what were they doing here?
Were they specifically here to embarrass themselves?
Suddenly, he really wanted to go back.
He felt that this trip was very dangerous.
It couldn't even be called dangerous, it was completely a suicide mission.
But for some reason, he was actually valued by Nara Shikaku.
Was it because of his Byakugan? If it was about Byakugan, Hinata Hiashi's Byakugan wasn't bad either.
"Draw the map of the surrounding sea, and also draw the map of that country."
"That's your task. The main purpose of our trip is to gather information."
"But..."
Nara Shikaku's expression turned serious.
He looked at the accompanying ninjas with an extremely stern gaze.
These ninjas were selected from various clans.
They might not be excellent in other aspects.
But they were dull and not easily swayed by women.
That's why Nara Shikaku brought them along.
The ninjas gulped nervously, looking at Nara Shikaku.
"But you must not look at the so-called Empress. If you even glance at her, use pain to erase the admiration from your hearts."
"If you don't do this, you will turn into stone statues. I don't want to bring a few people and return with stone statues."
Nara Shikaku said with a serious expression.
The Mero Mero no Mi's ability, in Nara Shikaku's view, was too strong.
Even with detailed information, Nara Shikaku still felt a chill.
It was said that this woman was called the most beautiful in the world. How beautiful was she?
He didn't know!
But it was said that anyone in the sea, regardless of gender, would be captivated the moment they saw this woman.
This level of beauty was no longer something a single Devil Fruit could achieve.
Perhaps she was a true beauty, even Tsunade-sama...
Forget it, Tsunade-sama just had a larger chest, nothing else.
Nara Shikaku was already on high alert.
He was afraid of messing up this mission and embarrassing Uchiha Reijin.
"A ship is approaching."
The Hyuga branch family ninja suddenly spoke.
"Lord Shikaku, our ship is about to reach the Calm Belt."
"I'm afraid our ship will be of little use from now on."
At this time, a sailor with beads of sweat on his face walked up to Nara Shikaku and said.
Anyone who had sailed the seas knew what the Calm Belt was.
It was a place where ships absolutely couldn't enter.
Once inside, the ship could only stay in place, with no power to continue sailing.
There were even incredibly huge Sea Kings on the seabed, monsters that humans couldn't face.
All they could do now was dock the ship outside the Calm Belt.
"That's enough! This is far enough."
Nara Shikaku nodded and glanced in one direction.
"Someone is already coming to pick us up."
"We don't need to continue sailing forward."
Nara Shikaku waved his hand and looked solemnly towards one side of the sea.
In this world without chakra, their chakra detection techniques were useless.
Now, all they could rely on when traveling was the Byakugan!
Meanwhile, the Yamanaka clan was still trying to make breakthroughs in their secret techniques, attempting to develop a technique that could detect life force.
This way, their actions wouldn't be restricted, and they could move freely on the sea.
After waiting for a while!
A ship pulled by two giant snakes slowly sailed through the impassable Calm Belt.
Finally, it stopped in front of Nara Shikaku's ship.
"This is the territory of the Amazon Lily Kingdom. Outsiders, leave your supplies and you can leave."
A female voice came from afar. Several women on the ship shouted at Nara Shikaku.
But seeing the ninja outfit Nara Shikaku was wearing, they were a bit puzzled.
After all, they had never seen such strange clothes on the sea before.
"We are subordinates of the new Warlord, King Reijin of Dressrosa."
"Lord Reijin has sent us to Amazon Lily to discuss some important matters with Lady Boa Hancock."
"Please ask the Pirate Empress to come out and meet us so we can complete our mission."
Nara Shikaku also mustered his strength and shouted towards the large ship in front of him.
Seeing the appearance of these girls on the ship made Nara Shikaku sigh inwardly.
This was the world of pirates, where all sorts of strange women existed.
Fortunately, he wasn't interested in this.
He didn't know if the Uchiha clan could accept it.
He had also noticed that there were all kinds.
Not every one of them looked strange.
"Discuss some important matters?"
The few people on the ship looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
After all, they were both Warlords, and they didn't have the authority to make decisions for Lady Hancock.
One person went in to inform Hancock!
They quickly came back out.
This whole scene was observed by Nara Shikaku.
"What matters do you want to discuss with the Snake Princess?"
The Kuja Pirates' sniper, named Rindo, asked.
"We, Dressrosa, intend to form a marriage alliance with Amazon Lily!"
"We hope to establish an alliance with the Kuja Pirates to strengthen the relationship between our two countries."
"Lord Reijin is willing to condescend and marry Boa Hancock, the ruler of Amazon Lily."
"And Amazon Lily will provide Dressrosa with..."
Nara Shikaku said calmly, listing a series of excessive demands.
Even as he spoke these words, Nara Shikaku felt his heart skip a beat.
To be honest, he had never seen such outrageous demands.
Perhaps only a defeated nation would have to accept such terms.
And yet!
Coming from Uchiha Reijin, Nara Shikaku wasn't surprised at all.
The arrogance of this clan was beyond words.
It was as if they didn't take the other party seriously at all.
"..."
A silence fell over the sea.
The Kuja Pirates looked at Nara Shikaku in disbelief.
They originally thought they were genuinely planning to form an alliance.
But listening to Nara Shikaku's tone, it was clear they intended to completely annex Amazon Lily.
Not even leaving a single scrap behind, and they even wanted them to pay tribute every year.
Their Amazon Lily currently relied on plundering resources from the outside world every year.
If they had to pay tribute every year, what would they eat and drink?
This was even more outrageous than the Celestial Dragons.
Did these guys already consider themselves Celestial Dragons?
And by then, would there even be human rights in Amazon Lily?
Let alone human rights, even their admired Snake Princess would become a bargaining chip in the other party's hands.
A wave of anger surged within them.
The Kuja Pirates raised their weapons.
They intended to keep Nara Shikaku right there.
