"The Marine warships have been waiting on the sea fifty miles out for several days; it seems an Admiral will be arriving soon."
"The pirates who weren't afraid of death have all been dealt with by Orochimaru and his group. No Shichibukai have shown up, so it seems our main opponents this time will be the Marine Admirals."
Uchiha Tamahiko was also cultivating daily.
After completing the cultivation of the five elemental natures, he would move on to the Yin and Yang natures. Mastering seven natures, along with sufficient Chakra, would allow him to create Truth-Seeking Orbs, a Ninjutsu attack with true damage.
However, the World Government's attack wasn't as swift as Uchiha Tamahiko had anticipated.
He had been in Dressrosa for almost ten days. Although he had spotted many Marine warships, most seemed to be on surveillance rather than actively engaging.
No Shichibukai had come to challenge him, the so-called new Four Emperors.
Uchiha Tamahiko felt it wasn't that there were few ambitious people, but rather that everyone believed he would be dealt with by the Marines.
The news of him defeating Sengoku had not spread across the seas, because during that battle, there were essentially no outsiders apart from the Marines. The Marines also didn't want the news of their Fleet Admiral's defeat to get out, so the information had been kept under wraps.
Therefore, most people believed his strength couldn't compare to the Four Emperors, but ordinary individuals also couldn't defeat him.
"But I didn't expect Edo Tensei to have such limitations; the Chakra isn't enough. Still, it's fine; I wasn't expecting the First Hokage to do any major work."
"Three Admirals fighting will be somewhat troublesome. When the battle starts, the battlefield needs to be moved a bit further away."
Uchiha Tamahiko had already chosen several combat locations.
The battle definitely had to be at sea; he wouldn't miss out on such a terrain advantage.
During this time, Might Guy and Shisui were cultivating intensely, especially Might Guy. His physical fitness was doubling, and his daily food intake was astonishingly large.
He almost daily went fishing in the sea, eating meat to replenish his body's needs. Like a bottomless pit such as Luffy, he rapidly devoured food, but his improvement was also exceptionally immense.
Might Guy and Shisui often sparred, one improving his Taijutsu and the other his Kenjutsu, fighting fiercely every day.
"They're here!"
Uchiha Tamahiko received the message from a dispelled Shadow Clone.
A Marine warship belonging to Admiral Sakazuki was spotted dozens of nautical miles away. At the same time, from another direction, Kuzan was seen arriving directly on his bicycle, riding across the ice.
Kuzan should have been a bit slower, but Sengoku had informed him that Sakazuki was arriving soon, so he personally rushed over.
Sengoku was afraid that one Admiral wouldn't be able to pose a threat to Uchiha Tamahiko. At the same time, he preferred the more peaceful Kuzan to be Fleet Admiral, so he offered his support.
Uchiha Tamahiko sent out five Shadow Clones to wait around Dressrosa, as he didn't intend to bring the battle into Dressrosa, and they spotted these two Marine Admirals.
Although his current strength was formidable, having a Shadow Clone fight an Admiral was still a bit much. Uchiha Tamahiko decided to personally lure Sakazuki towards Kuzan, then confront them together.
"Did the undercover Marine Kizaru not come?"
"It seems the Marines believe two Admirals are enough to deal with me. But this is good; it means I'll have to exert a little less effort."
Uchiha Tamahiko assessed the situation. Dealing with two Admirals, as long as he didn't make a critical mistake, should not be a big problem.
Just as he sent out a Shadow Clone to inform others on the island, he suddenly received a message from another Shadow Clone.
"Big Mama?"
"It's Katakuri. It seems he's here for revenge!"
"And Doflamingo, that guy, is actually nearby. Is he worried that Dressrosa being destroyed would cause problems for his weapons factory?"
Uchiha Tamahiko discovered two more unexpected individuals.
Katakuri's appearance was a bit troublesome; after all, he wasn't someone a Shadow Clone could handle.
Then, Uchiha Tamahiko sent out a Shadow Clone to notify the others, while he himself headed directly towards Katakuri, intending to lure one more person to the Marines' side and see how the Marines would react.
"What was that just now?"
Katakuri's Observation Haki was indeed impressive. Even from over five kilometers away, he felt as if he had been watched, but the gaze quickly vanished.
However, before the ship could travel a few more kilometers, Katakuri saw a figure on the sea surface, rapidly rushing towards him.
"It's that guy!"
Katakuri frowned, and his pupils turned red as his Observation Haki activated.
He then pressed his right hand directly onto the deck. The pirate ship was instantly assimilated and twisted by his Devil Fruit ability, turning entirely into mochi.
These mochi then condensed directly in front of him, forming a mochi wall. This mochi wall was then hardened and covered with Armament Haki. Just as it finished condensing, a Chidori Sharp Spear pierced through, striking directly onto the mochi wall.
Sparks flew, but it didn't penetrate.
"Running?"
But immediately, Katakuri froze, because under his Observation Haki, the target directly turned around and fled.
He naturally wouldn't let Uchiha Tamahiko go. Any action that tarnished Big Mama's honor would be cleansed by him.
Controlling the ship, which had completely turned into mochi, he threw all his subordinates into the sea. Then, he controlled the mochi to continuously churn, his lower body merging into the mochi, floating on the sea surface and pursuing Uchiha Tamahiko.
"As expected of a First Commander, he certainly has some tricks."
Uchiha Tamahiko glanced behind him, somewhat amazed that these people could develop their Devil Fruit to such an extent.
However, he also slowed down to prevent the guy from falling behind. Didn't he want to shake off this speed easily, with just a hand?
Katakuri, like a tank, continuously fired mochi projectiles from his hands, trying to stop Uchiha Tamahiko.
"Can't hit him?"
Although he possessed future-seeing Observation Haki, under its perception, Katakuri surprisingly found that he couldn't hit his target at all, which left him a bit stunned.
He sensed that Uchiha Tamahiko had another agenda, that he wanted to lead him somewhere!
But he wasn't afraid. The main thing was that his current situation had some limitations. If they were on land, he felt he could definitely hit the opponent.
However, after chasing Uchiha Tamahiko across the sea for almost ten minutes, he became somewhat agitated.
Because he saw Marine Admiral Sakazuki standing on the deck of a warship, watching the two of them.
Then, what greeted them both was Sakazuki's unleashed Meteor Volcano!
"Damn it!"
Even with Katakuri's temperament, he couldn't help but want to curse at this moment.
Was he cursing Uchiha Tamahiko for being reckless, thinking that a Marine Admiral would help him defeat himself?
You, the one who killed a Celestial Dragon, are the Marines' definite target!
Blocking the lava fists in the sky slowed down Katakuri's pursuit. He had to spend time dodging, not foolish enough to take them head-on.
Similarly, he noticed that Uchiha Tamahiko was also dodging very skillfully, and occasionally stopped to glance at him.
And when Sakazuki realized that Katakuri was not helping Uchiha Tamahiko, but was also pursuing him, he stopped interfering with Katakuri and instead fully pursued Uchiha Tamahiko.
But when he realized the warship's speed couldn't keep up, he directly jumped off the ship, using Moonwalk and Soru to chase.
"Success."
Uchiha Tamahiko felt that these people truly weren't afraid of traps.
Then he started leading the two in circles.
Since Sakazuki was faster, Uchiha Tamahiko circled around Katakuri, leading both of them towards Kuzan.
For Uchiha Tamahiko, with his Lightning Release cell activation, moving on the sea surface was like walking on flat ground. Although Sakazuki was fast, he still couldn't compare.
"With such a cowardly attitude, are you even fit to be a Four Emperors?!"
Even Sakazuki, who usually had a good disposition towards pirates, started cursing. Being constantly dodged by Uchiha Tamahiko made him feel like he was being led around like a dog. Although he was Akainu, he didn't want to be a dog!
Katakuri, on the other hand, had been cursing in his heart for a long time, because Uchiha Tamahiko had been using him as the pillar in a game of 'King Qin Circles the Pillar,' and he had been caught in Sakazuki's attacks several times.
"They're here!"
Uchiha Tamahiko suddenly stopped and said.
Sakazuki's eyes lit up, and he immediately brought his smoke-emitting fist, directly smashing it towards Uchiha Tamahiko.
During the Marineford War, he already disliked Uchiha Tamahiko. This guy had almost destroyed Marineford, and he had wanted to kill him for a long time.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Uchiha Tamahiko directly raised his hand towards Akainu, while softly chanting.
An invisible repulsive force directly collided with Sakazuki's fist. The fist, imbued with Armament Haki, trembled continuously at a distance of two meters from Uchiha Tamahiko's body.
Finally, Sakazuki was directly repelled.
Katakuri, who had intended to pursue, also stopped, a grave expression on his face.
At this moment, Kuzan appeared on the battlefield, gliding directly along the ice.
If Katakuri hadn't seen that both Admirals' gazes were focused on Uchiha Tamahiko, he would have feared this was a conspiracy targeting him, aiming to eliminate him right here.
After all, he was confident he could escape one Admiral, but with two Admirals, even his Mama would find it tough.
