Battle at the Pinnacle of the World

With the decision made, Uchiha Tamaharu began to assemble his team.

"Shisui, Itachi, let's bring Captain Fugaku along this time. Each of you will bring three subordinates, making nine in total. Include Rob Lucci and Kaku as well, which brings us to twelve people including myself."

"The main reason is to prevent Blackbeard's subordinates from escaping when we confront him. We just need them to pin those guys down and cut off their path of retreat."

Uchiha Tamaharu judged in his heart.

With this level of combat power, if Uchiha Tamaharu were to take them to fight Doflamingo now, it would be an easy victory.

The Uchiha Clan is currently one of the Shichibukai, and the Summit War has drawn the attention of every powerhouse in this world; no one will pay any mind to this uninhabited island near the Calm Belt.

The Navy is going all out, and the World Government is also keeping a close eye on the other Four Emperors to avoid any more dangerous situations.

The Uchiha's top-tier combatants will be away for at least five days, so Uchiha Tamaharu must ensure the safety of the clan during this time.

After thinking it through, Uchiha Tamaharu went directly to find Fugaku Uchiha.

"Captain Fugaku, there is a matter this time that requires your help. You will be responsible for intercepting some enemies and ensuring they do not escape."

Uchiha Tamaharu found it difficult to explain the system mission.

Therefore, he prepared to use the excuse of working for the World Government to cover it up.

"Very well. The elder can help manage things; there will be no problems within the clan."

Fugaku said this very decisively.

He now trusts Uchiha Tamaharu's judgment unconditionally. Since Tamaharu came to him directly, it must be an event that requires his intervention.

After Uchiha Tamaharu became the clan head, he did not strip him of any power; he was essentially a figurehead clan head. However, when it came to the Uchiha's external affairs, it was basically Tamaharu's word that was law, and Fugaku Uchiha had no objections.

This was because he recalled almost every day what would have happened if he hadn't listened to Uchiha Tamaharu's advice and fled with the clan to this world.

If they had stayed in Konoha, the fate of the Uchiha would have been exactly as Tamaharu had described. That night, the Anbu had delayed him without fear of death, and Sarutobi Hiruzen had even appeared in person to take action.

All of this proved that Konoha had truly been prepared for a long time to deal with the Uchiha Clan!

Because of Uchiha Tamaharu, the Uchiha Clan had essentially been reborn. Why wouldn't he trust such a savior?

"Let's depart tomorrow. Hand over the seal that controls the heart technique of Vinsmoke Judge to the elder responsible for managing the clan."

Uchiha Tamaharu nodded.

Although he knew Fugaku would certainly not refuse, the fact that he agreed so decisively still moved him somewhat.

He then gave him his instructions.

In addition to the approximately ten members with Three Tomoe remaining in the clan, there was also the combat power of Vinsmoke Judge.

It might be a struggle against the top three of the Shichibukai, but it was enough to guard the home base.

"Understood!"

Fugaku nodded and went off to make the arrangements.

Uchiha Tamaharu then took out a Den Den Mushi to contact Shisui, telling him to bring Rob Lucci and Kaku, as well as five selected clansmen, to wait for him at the nearest island.

As for the others, he ordered them to patrol the waters near the clan territory after submitting their bounties until they returned.

Shisui did not ask what the mission was and immediately began to execute Uchiha Tamaharu's orders.

After spending some time together, Rob Lucci and his companions became even more curious about the origins of these people, feeling that they were more like members of an intelligence organization than they were.

They were ruthless and left no survivors.

Their methods for erasing traces were even more professional than their own.

Rob Lucci also had his own ambitions; he wanted to advance further and seize command of this fleet.

But after testing Uchiha Shisui twice in secret, he had been defeated both times.

This made him realize that the last time he lost to this man, it wasn't because he was injured or careless, but because this man truly possessed the strength to defeat him!

"Big brother, are you going out again!"

Sasuke, clinging to Itachi's leg, looked somewhat reluctant to let go.

Since returning from Vinsmoke Judge's base, Itachi had gone out on a mission once, but had since returned to be responsible for monitoring Vinsmoke Judge's research.

At the same time, he was also mastering the power of the Mangekyo under Fugaku's guidance.

Now, Itachi could freely use the power of the Mangekyo, and both of his Dōjutsu had been developed. However, due to his physical condition, his Chakra levels were still not on par with Shisui or Fugaku.

He could not fight for long periods, but the power he could unleash in a short burst was not inferior to that of Shisui or Fugaku.

"Yes, there is an important matter that requires my help."

Itachi stroked Sasuke's head, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

During these days on this island, he felt very relaxed, free from the pain of being caught between the clan and the village back in Konoha.

Therefore, he had to protect all of this!

Although he didn't know what this mission was for, it was certainly beneficial to the Uchiha!

"Big brother, good luck!"

"When I grow up, I'll go on missions with you!"

Sasuke also felt that the pressure on his side had lessened significantly.

Although he had fewer childhood playmates, he felt that his home was much warmer!

"Let's work hard together!"

Itachi smiled as he patted Sasuke's head.

Under the orders of the Uchiha, the group quickly began their preparations.

All kinds of ninja tools were fully stocked, along with ten new combat suits that had been delivered by Germa 66 not long ago.

When they left, Vinsmoke Judge had already arranged for people to continue production, and since there were people to deliver them, Uchiha Tamaharu did not stay there waiting.

After getting ready, Uchiha Tamaharu used Susanoo to carry Fugaku, his sons, and Izumi, heading toward the place where Shisui and the others were waiting.

Shisui was already waiting with his men.

Upon arrival, they boarded the ship immediately.

"The destination is Marine Headquarters; there will be Marines meeting us when we arrive."

Uchiha Tamaharu said to the clansmen responsible for navigation.

He then distributed the combat suits to Shisui and the others.

Shisui had not used the first ten sets brought back, having given them mostly to the clansmen who were out hunting pirates together.

There were a few who had been selected, but Uchiha Tamaharu had mentioned in advance that there would be new ones, so the previous combat suits were given to the clansmen who hadn't come, leaving only one set. Including the ones brought along, there were exactly eleven sets, which Uchiha Tamaharu did not need.

Next, Uchiha Tamaharu began to explain the actual mission they were to undertake this time.

If he didn't explain it clearly in advance, he was afraid they would waste their energy by going all out against the Whitebeard Pirates on the sidelines.

"So, he betrayed the World Government, and it is up to us to wipe out this pirate crew, is that it?"

Shisui summarized at the end.

Uchiha Tamaharu nodded.

The others had no objections either, all thinking about how they would make their move.

Rob Lucci, for his part, felt that this was a good opportunity; although he had left the World Government, he was still serving them.

Following this man, perhaps he could truly go further!

"Witness the battle at the pinnacle of this world, see clearly where you stand, and then work hard together!"

With one sentence, Uchiha made everyone on the scene feel their blood boiling.

The world's strongest man attacking the world's largest power.

It was definitely a battle that would be impossible to forget!
