The merchant ship that Uchiha Hikaru had hijacked to Fish-Man Island, where they spent several "exhilarating" days, carried trading caravans from several countries. After Hody Jones was brought to justice on Fish-Man Island, Hikaru had Jinbe send people to escort them back to sea. They had already made a verbal agreement that they would bring large quantities of supplies to Dressrosa and wait for him.
Yet even now, not a single hair had appeared. Back then, he had even bragged to Fujitora that support would arrive soon, only to get slapped in the face. Not a single person had come by today, while several batches of supplies from the Kingdom of Pordis had already arrived.
"Did they trick me?" Hikaru withdrew his hand from the Devil Fruit and slowly rose to his feet. "Logically speaking, I showed them my strength and demonstrated Fish-Man Island's financial power. There was no reason for them to refuse a business deal that guaranteed profit, especially after making a promise."
As Hikaru pondered, he slowly walked to the door. Then a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: Had pirates intercepted them?
Impossible, impossible! Hikaru shook his head. Even if pirates were robbing ships, they could not possibly intercept several merchant vessels from countries all over the world at once, could they?

If they were willing to join forces and block every ship carrying aid to Dressrosa in distant waters, then they could indeed accomplish this.
