One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha
Chapter 104 Spider Cafe! The Gathering of Eccentrics
Deep in the Alabasta wilderness, a fierce wind howls, whipping up sand and gravel.
In this desolate, rocky wasteland, which is uninhabited for miles around, stands a solitary shop called "Spider Coffee Shop".
The clock hand points to 8 p.m.
Although located in a remote area, the shop was not closed at the moment. Instead, it was filled with a group of "weirdos" with dangerous auras and different appearances.
Behind the bar, a voluptuous blue-haired woman dressed in a biker gang-style outfit was casually wiping a glass.
She is the owner of this shop and also a senior agent of the Baroque Works—Miss Doublefinger.
By the window sat a tall, bald man dressed in monk's attire.
His eyes were sharp as knives, and he exuded a steely aura that kept strangers at bay—Mr. 1.
At another table sat Mr. 4, a fat man who was always a beat slow on the uptake.
And a chattering, impatient old woman named Miss. Merry Christmas.
"Why hasn't that damn transvestite arrived yet? He's so slow! It's infuriating!" The old woman slammed her fist on the table in frustration.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Your humble servant has arrived!!!"
With a high-pitched, strange cry, a figure dressed in a pink swan dress did not walk properly.
Instead, like a ballet dancer, she tiptoed and spun wildly into the store.
"Spinning around and around—Jete!!"
Mr. 2 von Clay, the last one to make a dazzling appearance.
"Seriously, I'm so sorry to have kept you all waiting!" Mr.2 struck a difficult pose and then said excitedly.
"Listen to me! I encountered a super interesting group of pirates at sea! It was the Straw Hat Pirates!"
"And I've confirmed that they've already logged in!"
Upon hearing this news, Mr. 1, who had been silent all along, slowly raised his head, holding several of the latest bounty posters in his hand.
"Straw Hat Luffy, bounty 3000 million Berries. Pirate Hunter Zoro... and this one."
Mr. 1's gaze fell on a photograph, of that always smiling, black-haired boy:
"Victor 'Red Lotus', bounty 2800 million Berries."
"Oh! It's this red-eyed guy!"
Upon seeing Victor's photo, Mr. 2 instantly screamed, his expression becoming exaggerated:
"Although that straw hat kid is quite amusing, my intuition tells me... this guy named Victor is extremely dangerous!"
"That look in his eyes...it's even more terrifying than that green-haired guy with the knife! He's the kind of person you'd die if you weren't careful!"
"snort."
Mr. 1 snorted coldly, casually tossing the wanted poster onto the table, his tone filled with disdain and arrogance:
"They're just some newcomers from the East China Sea, with only a few empty titles."
He raised his arm, his skin gleaming metallicly under the light:
"Here, no one can defeat those of us with Devil Fruit abilities. Assassins don't need intuition, they only need strength."
……
Afterwards, led by the proprietress, the group rode in the giant tortoise-shaped vehicle to the largest casino in the Rainy Land – "Rain Banquet".
In that luxurious yet dimly lit underground VIP room, they finally met the mysterious behind-the-scenes boss, Mr. 0.
Amidst the swirling smoke, the man with the enormous golden hook and a scar running across his face turned around.
Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"Welcome to my city, everyone."
Crocodile didn't waste any words and directly revealed the shocking plan called "Utopia":
"I have only one goal—to take Alabasta and establish our ideal nation."
"Furthermore, we obtained the ancient weapon 'Pluto' that had been sleeping beneath the earth of this country."
Upon hearing the word "Pluto," even these ruthless agents gasped in shock.
"Alright, enough with the nonsense."
Crocodile exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes turning sinister:
"The final operation, 'Utopia,' is about to begin."
"Go to Arubana, kidnap the king, and incite a full-scale war between the rebels and the royal army."
"Go and set this country... ablaze."
……
Meanwhile, on the other side of the vast desert.
After sunset, the desert temperature plummets, turning from an oven during the day into a refrigerator at night.
Having escaped the daytime heat, the Straw Hat crew sat around a sheltered sand dune, lit a campfire, and enjoyed a rare dinner.
Except for Zoro.
The green algae-covered man was leaning against a rock, fast asleep with his knife in his arms, snoring loudly.
"Awooo! Smack smack!"
Luffy was holding a piece of unidentified lizard meat in his hand, chewing it greedily.
After chewing a few times, Luffy's expression changed, and he stuck out his tongue:
"Wow...it doesn't taste good, it's so astringent."
As he spoke, he opened his mouth to spit out the meat.
"Hey! Luffy!!"
Sanji, who was working hard grilling meat nearby, instantly lost his temper, pointing the spatula at Luffy and yelling:
"Don't spit it out! This is prey we finally managed to catch! Food is precious in the desert! Swallow it!"
"But it really doesn't taste good..."
Luffy looked aggrieved, then his eyes lit up, and he took the skewer of meat that he had taken a bite out of, grinning as he brought it to Sanji's mouth:
"Then...you can have it!"
"Who wants to eat your saliva! Get lost!!"
Sanji's face darkened. He lifted his foot and used the sole of his shoe to push Luffy's face away.
And on several dead trees nearby.
Usopp was perched on a tree branch, nervously observing the dark desert around him through binoculars.
Viktor lay on a branch next to him, his hands behind his head and one leg dangling in the air.
He was supposed to be on guard duty, but this guy was breathing steadily and was obviously asleep.
"Hey, Clay."
Usopp poked the crow perched on Viktor's belly:
"Why don't you fly around and patrol the area? What if there's any danger?"
Clay rolled his eyes, buried his head in his wing, and made an extremely perfunctory sound:
"Gah... Ulusha, long nose. Grandpa wants to sleep."
"Huh? You lazy bird!" Usopp was so angry his nose almost twisted. "Looks like we don't have enough ingredients tonight, we'll have to eat roasted crows!"
"Gurgle?! What did you say?!"
Whether it was because they shared the same bad habits or something else, the two, despite their constant bickering, got along remarkably well.
Beside the campfire.
Vivi, Nami, and Chopper were nestled against Karuna's warm feathers as she slept, holding water bottles and dry rations in their hands.
Because Chopper has hooves, he's not very good at using human utensils.
It could only hold the biscuit with its two hooves and clumsily gnaw on it, its mouth covered in crumbs.
"Ah! How cute!"
Looking at Chopper's fluffy appearance, Vivi couldn't help but curiously reach out and gently touch its antlers.
Nami took a sip of water, looking at Chopper's small figure with gentle eyes:
"Chopper, you've had a tough day. This unpredictable weather must have made your fur swelter!"
Upon hearing this, Chopper stopped chewing.
It raised its head, and although its face was still covered with biscuit crumbs, its big eyes shone brightly in the firelight.
"hey-hey……"
Chopper shook his head shyly, then twisted his body into a wave shape and said happily:
"It's not hard at all! Not hard at all!"
"I'm so happy! I'm so happy to be on an adventure with everyone...!"
Nami's eyes widened, and a smile crept onto her lips.
"Ah! Chopper! You're so cute!"
Chopper shyly twisted into a wavy shape again.
"You...you bastard, what are you saying...?"
On a cold desert night, these simple words are warmer than a campfire.
