When it came to solving problems with force, Uchiha Hiko was quite confident in himself. Across the entire Pirate World, he considered himself to have few rivals. The only reason he had not crowned himself with the word "invincible" after exchanging blows with an Admiral while holding back was because he was relatively low-key and humble.
However, since he intended to build up an organization, not everything could naturally be solved through force.
Dressrosa's current problems alone were already giving Hiko a headache. Coordinating all sides, ensuring hundreds of thousands of people could survive on a scorched land and continue living with hope—Hiko had truly racked his brains. The supplies dispatched from various places could barely keep Dressrosa afloat for a while, but for Dressrosa to survive without aid, it would need at least a year or more to recover.
Yet the pieces Hiko had planted throughout the major seas had been uprooted just like that. Although Luo had uncovered a few clues, every one of those countries was clean, without any blemishes. Hiko could not help but wonder—which great power was interfering with his reconstruction of Dressrosa?
Or perhaps it was merely targeting him?
Niji, lying on the ground, naturally had no idea that because he had come to Cause Trouble, he had become a suspect. After all, Dressrosa was in a critical situation, and Hiko treated anyone who made even the slightest move as a potential enemy.
"?" Niji frowned but did not answer. However, the questioning look on his face made Hiko understand. Either he was acting, or he genuinely knew nothing.
"Buzz!"
The next moment, a faint gleam radiated from Hiko's pupils. The Uchiha Clan's Dojutsu-based mental control ability was unleashed, and Niji, who was staring directly at Hiko, was caught off guard and struck head-on.
