I Have a Cheat, I Don't Need It

Then Uchiha Tamaharu began to search Nami.

Sanji, standing to the side, watched with eyes splitting in rage; it was like being cuckolded right in front of him!

However, Uchiha Tamaharu was not doing what Sanji imagined; he merely took the various components of the Clima-Tact from Nami's waist and thighs, without taking any further steps.

"Rip the cloth off their mouths."

Uchiha Tamaharu then issued the order.

The three clansmen guarding the Straw Hat Pirates stepped forward and sliced the cloth strips off each of their mouths one by one.

"You bastard, how dare you do that to Miss Nami! That's something only I should be allowed to do, woooo!!"

Sanji was on the verge of tears from grievance!

The others, meanwhile, looked at Uchiha Tamaharu with guarded expressions, filled with fear.

"Do you want to live?"

Uchiha Tamaharu lowered his head, looking at the group sitting on the ground, essentially unable to move.

"Are you willing to let us go?"

Nami's eyes lit up, and she began to flirt, batting her eyelashes at Uchiha Tamaharu.

"Straw Hat Luffy is out of the question, but the rest of you can survive—provided you trade something for it!"

Uchiha Tamaharu stated bluntly.

These people had quite a few good things in their possession; for instance, Franky, Chopper, and even Usopp all possessed rather strange abilities.

As for Nico Robin's ability to decipher the Poneglyph, he didn't care much for it; seeking out such ethereal things was just relying on cheats.

What he needed now were abilities that could help his clansmen establish a foothold in this world as quickly as possible.

"Why not Luffy? You can have anything else you want!"

Nami grew anxious and spoke up hurriedly.

The others remained silent; if Nami couldn't negotiate a deal, their words would be useless anyway.

"He is a bargaining chip for my transactions."

"Besides, he won't die immediately; he'll be locked away in the great pirate prison, Impel Down. If you have the ability, go save him yourselves—provided, of course, that you're still alive."

Uchiha Tamaharu explained the situation briefly.

Even so, the expressions on Nami and the others remained grim.

"I wonder, sir, what exactly you want to trade for."

Nico Robin spoke up.

She had been calmly assessing the situation; these people acted with great decisiveness, and their leader had his own agenda—he was not someone who could be easily persuaded.

Now, she was more curious about what this man wanted.

They were already prisoners, and he could do whatever he wanted with them, so why go through the trouble of making a deal?

"The medical knowledge that this raccoon dog possesses, the shipwright knowledge of that pervert, and the navigation knowledge of this beauty. Let's start with those three."

Uchiha Tamaharu thought for a moment and added Nami's navigation knowledge; these things would surely be useful.

This condition caught Nico Robin off guard.

Clearly, she hadn't expected him to trade for these things; she had assumed he would want their bodies or their equipment.

She had even considered that he might want her, given that she was the only person in the world, aside from the World Government, capable of deciphering the Poneglyph.

Yet, the man only wanted this knowledge.

"Who's a raccoon dog?! You jerk, I'm a reindeer!!"

Chopper cursed indignantly.

"Well? Are you willing to trade these for your lives? Perhaps you might even be able to save your captain later."

"Or, you can choose to be wiped out here, dying before your captain does."

Uchiha Tamaharu acted like a devil, using both threats and inducements on the Straw Hat crew.

Although his Sharingan could copy memories, the sheer volume of this knowledge was too vast, which would consume too much Chakra and carry a high risk of failure, likely resulting in missing fragments of memory.

Therefore, having them cooperate willingly was the best path, and Uchiha Tamaharu had no intention of killing them.

After all, the plot was his greatest asset in this world, and a living protagonist group was more beneficial for the future.

"This knowledge... it might not be something that can be learned in a short time."

The negotiator shifted to Nico Robin.

She was cautiously testing the man's bottom line.

"As long as you all recite it once, whether or not we remember it is our business, not yours."

"Don't think about playing tricks; I know your backgrounds quite well. I have no interest in things like the Poneglyph."

Uchiha Tamaharu warned Nico Robin.

The two women on this ship were far more cunning than the men; after all, the things they had experienced were truly complex.

Nico Robin felt a jolt of alarm in her heart and dared not continue probing.

"Everyone, do you agree to this?"

Nico Robin had no choice but to ask her companions.

"If it can save everyone, then this knowledge doesn't matter!"

Chopper was the first to speak.

He wanted to pass on his medical skills and had no intention of hiding them.

"As for me, it's fine too!"

"However, much of navigation is judged based on weather changes; it's not just about knowledge, it requires experience!"

Nami gritted her teeth and emphasized this, hoping to avoid being cut down by the other party if they made a mistake.

"Just tell us what you know. Lies cannot deceive us."

Uchiha Tamaharu replied.

Finally, it was Franky's turn.

"There are already people like that, and their shipbuilding skills are quite good. There's really no need for this, right!"

Franky was reluctant to share his knowledge.

"It's already generous enough that I didn't ask you for the blueprints of Pluton. Since that's the case, then your ship will stay behind to be dismantled by them."

Uchiha Tamaharu said bluntly.

He truly wasn't interested in something like Pluton.

As for Poseidon, the ability to control Sea Kings—if there were more Uchiha, it seemed like something worth pursuing, perhaps controlling hundreds of Sea Kings to attack Pirates.

"Alright, alright, I'll agree to it!"

Franky panicked and quickly agreed.

Whether it was Pluton or the Thousand Sunny, he didn't want anyone to know the specific details.

"Itachi, you learn from this raccoon dog. Shisui, that woman is yours; don't let her trick you."

"This pervert, I'll leave him to you, Kaku."

"As for the others, just follow along if you want to learn something."

Uchiha Tamaharu began to issue orders.

"I'm not a raccoon dog, I'm a reindeer, you jerk!!"

Chopper continued to curse and grumble.

"Right, Shisui, take this sword."

"Itachi, this one is for you."

Ignoring Chopper, Uchiha Tamaharu took out Zoro's two swords and handed them to Shisui and Itachi respectively.

He gave Shusui to Shisui and Sandai Kitetsu to Itachi.

Shisui drew Shusui and took a look, immediately recognizing its immense value.

"Don't you need one?"

"This Chakra blade of mine is more than enough."

Shisui asked.

"No need. I'm not very good with these things."

Uchiha Tamaharu almost blurted out that he had cheats and didn't need them.

He believed he would definitely be able to awaken the Rinnegan and reach the level of the Six Paths.

By then, he would be able to use the Truth-Seeking Ball in any way he pleased and wouldn't need such weapons.

Besides, if he were to take one, he would at least want a Supreme Grade sword; he didn't want these.
