Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: Meeting of the Seven Warlords of the Sea

A month passed.

The Uchiha Clan's territory began to liven up slightly.

With Uchiha members working for the clan outside, a large amount of supplies were bought back, gradually restoring the clan's prosperity within Konoha.

During this time, Shisui returned once, and Uchiha Tamahiko gave the ten sets of battle suits, custom-made by Vinsmoke Judge and Gaban, to those working for the clan to enhance their safety.

Uchiha Tamahiko's own battle suit was personally made by Vinsmoke Judge, and he even played with it a bit when he first got it.

But he immediately focused on training, not having time to play.

Although his strength had increased, he still needed time to adapt to combat. At the same time, he copied all the Ninjutsu scrolls in the clan and diligently practiced Ninjutsu.

Every day, he trained and also split off two Shadow Clones to practice Dōnjutsu, while his main body developed Rasengan with elemental properties and also new elemental Dōnjutsu.

Previously, he lacked Chakra and the strength to develop new Dōnjutsu; just developing Lightning Release had been very difficult for Uchiha Tamahiko.

He had tried to fuse Fire Release and Lightning Release to see if he could develop a Bloodline Limit, but this was too difficult. Both elemental properties were unstable and hard to fuse, so Uchiha Tamahiko had to choose to develop new properties.

All elements could be practiced, but Chakra had elemental leanings. Using inappropriate Dōnjutsu would significantly reduce its power, and compared to the consumption, it was simply not worth it.

But now, Uchiha Tamahiko had an abundance of Chakra, so he didn't care. The priority for development was Water Release, as this Dōnjutsu was truly effective in this world.

When fighting at sea, directly using Water Release could severely restrict Devil Fruit users, forcing them to divert their attention to clearing the seawater. At that point, releasing a Lightning Release in the seawater would basically incapacitate most ordinary opponents.

However, a sudden Den Den Mushi ring interrupted Uchiha Tamahiko's training.

"Buruburu, Buruburu"

"This is Uchiha Tamahiko."

Uchiha Tamahiko took out the Den Den Mushi and answered directly.

Seeing this Den Den Mushi, he knew what was happening.

"The World Government is summoning the Shichibukai to Mary Geoise for a Shichibukai meeting. The meeting is in ten days; please be sure to attend."

The voice on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was not the person who had negotiated with Uchiha Tamahiko before.

It sounded like someone specifically responsible for relaying messages.

"Understood."

After Uchiha Tamahiko responded, he hung up the Den Den Mushi.

"Counting it, the seal on Luffy seems to be expiring in just a few days."

"A Shichibukai meeting?"

"It seems the Marineford War should be starting soon."

"This time, I'll also probe Blackbeard to see the situation. If it feels bad, I'd better return to the Ninja World and get the Rinnegan first."

Uchiha Tamahiko thought to himself, then put down the Den Den Mushi and continued training.

Ten days was for the other Shichibukai to prepare; it wouldn't take him that long to get there.

He didn't set off until the seventh day.

There was nothing in the clan that he needed to manage. He was called the Clan Head, but he was more like a spiritual symbol; the one doing the actual work was Uchiha Fugaku.

As he neared Sabaody, Uchiha Tamahiko retracted his Susanoo. He wasn't ready to expose this power to more people yet.

He casually used his Sharingan to control a Sea King in the ocean as a mount, standing on it and letting it slowly swim over.

Even so, he arrived at Sabaody on the afternoon of the eighth day. He spent some time exploring and experimenting with an idea there. Only on the tenth day did he go to find the World Government personnel responsible for this matter, who then escorted Uchiha Tamahiko up to Mary Geoise.

"Genjutsu can control Celestial Dragons; it's basically not a big problem. This allows for a lot of operational space."

Uchiha followed behind a Colonel, thinking about the results of his experiments over the past few days.

He had found a Celestial Dragon and, from over twenty meters away, directly used Genjutsu to control him. The Celestial Dragon showed no difference.

Moreover, the consumption wasn't large. These Celestial Dragons generally had poor physical fitness, and their mental fortitude was even worse, making them easy to control. If something were to happen, controlling a dozen Celestial Dragons to stir up trouble could solve many problems.

Soon, they arrived at Mary Geoise. After walking down a long corridor, they reached a very large reception hall.

Among the Shichibukai, Uchiha Tamahiko was the last to arrive.

"Is this the newcomer who just became a Shichibukai a while ago?"

"He doesn't seem very strong!"

Doflamingo stood on the chair cushion, sitting on the backrest.

He said sarcastically.

After all, he felt that the position of Shichibukai shouldn't be given so casually to anyone, especially since he had put in a lot of effort to obtain his own Shichibukai position.

And in Uchiha Tamahiko's eyes, he had only caught a small pirate with a 300 million Berry bounty and become a Shichibukai—it was a joke!

"Hmph, I was careless that time. Otherwise, Straw Hat would definitely have been mine!"

Gekko Moriah snorted coldly. Although his head was still bandaged, he was being stubborn.

He was very unhappy that Straw Hat had been captured like that, depriving him of a chance for revenge.

At the same time, he had no good feelings for the person who defeated Straw Hat, let alone any thoughts of gratitude.

Blackbeard Teach, on the other hand, was happily enjoying a grand meal, showing no intention of interjecting.

It seemed no one else knew about Bartholomew Kuma being hammered. He sat silently to the side, coldly watching these people.

Hawkeye Mihawk and Empress Hancock also had no interest in such provocations. One was a solitary figure, and the other had absolutely no interest in matters concerning 'stinky men'.

Some Vice Admirals were also seated around, equally having no good feelings for these individuals whom they considered pirates.

"A stray dog who was driven out, and a good-for-nothing who lost to a newcomer, do you have the right to judge me?"

Uchiha Tamahiko retorted impolitely.

He would not swallow his anger and directly mocked them.

To stand firm on this vast sea, forbearance was useless!

Doflamingo, who had a mocking smile on his face, abruptly stopped smiling.

"Brat, do you want to die!!"

Gekko Moriah, on the other hand, was enraged and immediately shouted.

But as soon as his words fell, Gekko Moriah's pupils rapidly constricted, because Uchiha Tamahiko's right hand, imbued with Chidori, was less than ten centimeters away from his neck, which was as thick as a hypertrophied thyroid.

Gekko Moriah could clearly hear the crackling sound of electricity.

"If you keep shouting, your neck will break."

Uchiha Tamahiko stood on the dining table, holding the Chidori towards Gekko Moriah, warning him.

"You!!"

Gekko Moriah was shocked and furious.

He really wanted to retaliate directly, but he felt that if he made a move, the other party would truly cut off his neck!

"Alright, stop it."

At this moment, someone intervened.

Vice Admiral Tsuru.

She was in charge of this meeting.
