So Katakuri had actually volunteered to fight?
Hiko smiled faintly to himself. As expected of the one in the BIGMOM Pirates who possessed both brains and strength. If Katakuri had not been holding up the BIGMOM Pirates, their reputation would have been lost long ago.
Detaining these pirates was incredibly easy. Jinbe led a fleet to escort them back to Dressrosa, while Hiko deliberately let it slip that if these pirates tried any tricks or stirred up trouble along the way, the Kraken Unit in the sea would directly smash them—and their ships—to pieces.
After all, Jinbe could command those Sea Beasts. Without anywhere to stand, the sea was Jinbe's home ground and would better allow him to display his abilities.
Everyone greatly admired Uchiha Hiko's battle plan. Although the effective results in the localized battles had all been commanded by his four generals, the tactical principles Hiko had proposed were the true key to their victory. Under normal circumstances, if the four of them had led forces of the same size against the BIGMOM Pirates fleet from today, they absolutely would not have made a move.
On the battlefield, having tactical command or not made all the difference in the world.
Everyone knew that after today's battle, Uchiha Hiko's name would once again resound throughout the New World.
The fame he had once earned alone would now become the renown of the great force under Uchiha Hiko's command.
They already possessed a fleet capable of charging into the front lines and defeating tens of thousands of pirates under one of the Four Emperors. With such strength, they were more than qualified to join the ranks of the New World's great powers. No one could ignore Dressrosa's existence any longer.
This battle had become Uchiha Hiko's battle of rise. After
