Uchiha Madara was furious—disgusted by the repulsive Celestial Dragons of this world.
In the ninja world, Uchiha Madara had positioned himself as a behind-the-scenes villain, but at his core, he sought justice.
He had simply chosen an extreme path.
Faced with a world that had completely lost its way, he opted for a radical solution: creating an ideal, peaceful world through genjutsu—the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
His motivation stemmed from his pursuit of justice and the lasting peace he had long yearned for.
Both Madara and Hashirama sought a path to eternal peace, but Madara's pride and unwillingness to stand in Hashirama's shadow drove a wedge between them.
Madara once declared that he hated lurking in the shadows, yet to achieve his vision of peace, he willingly took on that role.
The trust and bond he once shared with Hashirama fractured after he discovered the altered contents of the Uchiha Stone Tablet—tampered with by Black Zetsu.
From that moment, he stopped relying on others and resolved to achieve his goals through his own power. He abandoned the path he once walked with Hashirama and embraced a far more extreme method—the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
By controlling everything in the world under his will, conflict would cease to exist.
In a way, his plan would indeed bring peace—just not the kind people wanted. That was why they rose against him.
And the cruelest irony? Only at the very end did he learn that the Infinite Tsukuyomi was nothing more than a lie fabricated by Black Zetsu to revive Kaguya.
But even after everything Madara had witnessed in the ninja world, he had never encountered creatures as vile as the Celestial Dragons. The fact that the people of this world cowered before them, too afraid to resist, only fueled his rage.
Lin Xuan's decision to collar and shackle the Celestial Dragons was something Madara fully supported—because he understood Lin Xuan's intent.
This was about tearing the Celestial Dragons down from their divine pedestal!
This was about showing the world that the beings they feared and revered were not untouchable!
This was exactly what Madara wanted to do!
So, using his Rinnegan, he swiftly retrieved collars and shackles, preparing to personally fasten them onto the Celestial Dragons.
At that moment, the Celestial Dragon guards and auction house security who had been knocked unconscious by Rayleigh's Conqueror's Haki began to wake up.
When they saw Uchiha Madara approaching the Roswald family with three sets of collars and shackles, they nearly fainted again on the spot.
"My God! What is he trying to do?!"
"He's going to put collars and shackles on the Celestial Dragons!"
"Is he turning them into slaves?!"
"Madmen! Absolute madmen!"
Terrified shouts erupted from the guards.
Their first instinct was to stop Madara, but they quickly dismissed the idea. Everything so far had proven they were no match for him—intervening would be suicide.
After exchanging glances, their fear of what was about to happen overwhelmed them. Completely broken, they turned and fled!
At this point, their only thought was to run—as far as possible. Before the Marines arrived, escaping the Sabaody Archipelago with their families might be their only chance of survival. Staying meant certain death!
Lin Xuan didn't stop them. He realized these people could no longer provide him with any significant reputation points.
According to the system's explanation, each person could only contribute a limited amount of reputation points per day. After five contributions, they would need a day to "cool down." If he wanted to keep earning, he'd have to find new targets.
Besides, the reputation points from such a small group were negligible to him now.
Uchiha Madara merely glanced at the fleeing figures before turning his attention back to the three Celestial Dragons.
Suddenly, a thought struck him. A surge of vibrant chakra enveloped the three Celestial Dragons.
Rayleigh didn't understand what he was doing, but Lin Xuan recognized it immediately—he was healing them!
After a brief moment of thought, Lin Xuan grasped Madara's intent and laughed. "You're waking them up, aren't you?"
Uchiha Madara smirked. "Exactly. I want these so-called 'supreme beings' to watch as they're collared like dogs!"
Lin Xuan burst into laughter. "Perfect! Let them see it for themselves. I'll join in!"
With that, he picked up one of the collars Madara had tossed aside, looking eager and excited.
Watching the two of them, even Rayleigh—the legendary Dark King and former right-hand man of the Pirate King—felt the urge to flee.
This Uchiha Madara… when he went mad, he truly knew no bounds!
Madara paid no mind to Rayleigh's reaction. Under the stimulation of his chakra, the Roswald family's injuries began to heal slightly, and they gradually regained consciousness.
Then, he and Lin Xuan stepped forward with the collars in hand.
The moment the three Celestial Dragons woke up and saw this scene, they were both horrified and enraged.
Roswald Saint shrieked in panic, "Y-You! What are you doing?!"
Lin Xuan grinned. "Nothing much. Just letting you experience how it feels to wear a collar—to taste what it's like being a slave!"
"WHAT?!"
The three Celestial Dragons nearly exploded in fury.
Charlos Saint screamed hysterically, "Do you really have a death wish?! We are the World Nobles! We possess supreme authority!"
Uchiha Madara sneered. "World Nobles? What a joke. Let's see how 'noble' you are with a collar around your neck!"
With that, he snapped the collar onto Charlos Saint's neck!
