I Have Cheats, So I Don't Need One

Then Uchiha Tamaharu began searching Nami.

Sanji watched from the side, his eyes nearly bulging out of his head. He was being NTR'd right in front of him!

But Uchiha Tamaharu wasn't doing what Sanji thought. He only took several pieces of the Clima-Tact from Nami's waist and thigh, and didn't go any further.

"Take the cloth out of their mouths."

Uchiha Tamaharu gave another order.

The three clan members guarding the Straw Hat Pirates stepped forward and cut the strips of cloth from their mouths one by one.

"You bastard! How dare you do that to Miss Nami? I'm the only one who should be doing that, sob sob sob!"

Sanji was on the verge of tears!

The others watched Uchiha Tamaharu warily, their faces tense with fear.

Do you want to live?

Uchiha Tamaharu looked down at them, sitting on the ground and barely able to move.

"Are you willing to let us go?"

Nami's eyes lit up. She immediately put on a flirtatious air and winked at Uchiha Tamaharu.

"Straw Hat Luffy can't go, but the rest of you can live—if you trade something for your lives!"

Uchiha Tamaharu spoke bluntly.

They still had plenty of useful things. Franky, Chopper, and even Usopp had some unusual skills.

He didn't particularly care about Nico Robin's ability to decipher Poneglyphs. Finding something so elusive was a long shot, even with his cheat.

What he needed now were abilities that could help his clan establish themselves in this world as quickly as possible.

"Why can't Luffy go? You can have anything you want!"

Nami panicked and hurried to speak.

The others stayed quiet. If Nami couldn't negotiate successfully, there was no point in them trying.

"He's my bargaining chip."

"Besides, he won't die right away. He'll be imprisoned in the great pirate prison, Impel Down. If you're capable, you can go rescue him yourselves—assuming you're still alive by then."

Uchiha Tamaharu briefly explained the situation.

But Nami and the others still looked grim.

"May I ask what you'd like in exchange?"

Nico Robin spoke up.

She had been calmly assessing the situation. These people acted decisively, and their leader had his own agenda. He wasn't someone they could easily talk around.

Now she was more curious about what he wanted.

They were already prisoners. He could do whatever he wanted to them, so why make a deal?

"The reindeer's medical knowledge, that pervert's shipbuilding knowledge, and this beauty's navigational knowledge. Let's start with those three."

Uchiha Tamaharu thought it over, then added Nami's knowledge of navigation. Those things could come in handy.

The terms took Nico Robin by surprise.

She hadn't expected him to ask for those things in exchange. She'd thought he would demand their bodies or their belongings.

Or even herself, since she was the only person in the world besides the World Government who could decipher Poneglyphs.

But he only wanted their knowledge.

"Who are you calling a reindeer, you bastard? I'm a reindeer!"

Chopper shouted indignantly.

"Well? Will you trade those things for your lives? You might even get the chance to rescue your captain someday."

"Or you can all die here, before your captain does."

Uchiha Tamaharu threatened and tempted the Straw Hat Crew like a demon.

Although the Sharingan could copy memories, there was too much information in all that knowledge. It would consume a lot of Chakra, and there was a serious risk of failure. Much of the information could be lost.

So it was best if they cooperated willingly. Uchiha Tamaharu wasn't planning to kill them anyway.

After all, the plot was his greatest advantage in this world. Having the main characters alive would benefit him more in the future.

"Some of this knowledge might take a while to learn."

Nico Robin took over as their negotiator.

She was still probing the man's limits.

"Just tell us everything you know. If we fail to remember it, that's our problem, not yours."

"Don't even think about trying anything clever. I know all about you. I'm not interested in Poneglyphs."

Uchiha Tamaharu warned Nico Robin.

The two women aboard this ship were far more cunning than the men. They'd both been through complicated experiences.

Nico Robin's heart skipped a beat. She didn't dare keep testing him.

"Everyone, are you willing to agree to this?"

Nico Robin could only ask her companions.

"If it'll save everyone, I don't mind sharing my knowledge!"

Chopper spoke first.

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

"I don't mind either!"

"But navigation depends on judging changes in the weather. It's not something you can learn from knowledge alone—you need experience!"

Nami gritted her teeth and stressed the point, in case they made a mistake and the other side simply cut them down.

"Just tell us what you know. Lies won't fool us."

Uchiha Tamaharu answered.

Franky was the last.

"You've already got people who know how to build ships. Their skills are great, so why do you need mine?"

Franky wasn't keen on sharing.

"You should be grateful I didn't ask you for the blueprints to Pluton. If that's how you feel, then we'll keep your ship and take it apart for them."

Uchiha Tamaharu replied without a trace of courtesy.

He really wasn't interested in Pluton.

Poseidon, on the other hand, could control the Sea Kings. If the Uchiha clan grew large enough, maybe they could make use of it—send a hundred Sea Kings to attack pirates.

"Fine, fine! I'll do it!"

Franky panicked and hurriedly agreed.

He didn't want anyone learning the truth about either Pluton or the Thousand Sunny.

"Itachi, learn from the reindeer. Shisui, you take the woman. Don't let her fool you."

"You take the pervert, Kaku."

"The rest of you can learn whatever you want from them."

Uchiha Tamaharu began assigning everyone.

"I'm not a reindeer, I'm a reindeer! You bastard!"

Chopper continued to grumble.

"Oh, right, Shisui. This sword is for you."

"Itachi, this one's for you."

Uchiha Tamaharu ignored Chopper and took two of Zoro's swords, handing them to Shisui and Itachi.

Shisui got Shusui, while Itachi got Sandai Kitetsu.

Shisui drew Shusui and took a look. He immediately realized how precious it was.

"Don't you need it?"

Shisui asked.

"My Chakra Blade is good enough."

Uchiha Tamaharu replied.

"No need. I'm not very good with that sort of thing."

Uchiha Tamaharu had almost said, I have a cheat, so I don't need one.

He was sure he'd awaken the Rinnegan and reach the Six Paths level.

By then, he'd be able to use Truth-Seeking Orbs in all sorts of ways. He wouldn't need a weapon.

And if he really wanted one, he'd at least take a Supreme Grade Sword. He didn't want something like this.
