Everyone finally began to grasp Uchiha Hikaru's current development strategy: rapidly promote economic growth to accelerate Dressrosa's reconstruction. Along the way, they could also come into contact with high-ranking figures from nations around the world, perhaps gaining unexpected help through them—such as winning over allies or receiving material support.
Furthermore, Fish-Man Island had now begun its initial integration with Dressrosa. When the time came, humans from all over the world would encounter an entirely new environment where land-dwelling humans and fish-men lived peacefully together. In a sense, this could serve as publicity, telling humanity across the world that the fish-men race was still worthy of contact and trust.
Understanding was the best way to build trust. There might be conflicts at first, but after they adjusted to one another, it would definitely benefit exchanges between humans and fish-men.
So many benefits in one move, so many benefits! Jinbe thought happily.
Hikaru roughly explained his Devil Fruit auction plan to King Riku. King Riku immediately took it seriously and promptly sent people to find the Tontatta Tribe's king to discuss breaking ground and building the venue. After all, this concerned Dressrosa's reconstruction.
As for the Navy, King Riku had already contacted them under Uchiha Hikaru's instructions and urged them to speed up gathering supplies and transporting them to Dressrosa. At Hikaru's request, he also had the Navy deliver a set of relevant research equipment.
Although Caesar was currently in Hikaru's hands, there was simply nowhere amid Dressrosa's ruins for Caesar to display his talents. So Hikaru had the Navy send over a batch of production and research equipment first, allowing Caesar to begin work.
However, the Navy's arrival this time was beyond Hikaru's expectations.
On the third day after King Riku made contact, three Navy warships slowly approached from the sea.
