One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

After traversing a long and brutal desert, the Straw Hat crew finally arrived at the end of their journey.

It is also the headquarters of Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea—Rainland, the "City of Dreams".

The moment everyone stepped through the city gate, the stark contrast was almost dizzying.

In stark contrast to the barren villages outside the city, where the land was covered in bones and dead due to drought, this place was a paradise in the desert.

A huge fountain sprays cool water mist, and the streets are lined with shady trees.

People were dressed in fine clothes, holding fine wine, and their faces were beaming with joy.

There is no war, no drought here, only prosperity, wealth, and casinos scattered throughout the city.

"What...what's going on?" Vivi stared at the scene before her, incredulous. "People everywhere else are dying of thirst..."

Viktor stood on the street corner, looking around at the gamblers who were addicted to gambling, oblivious to the national crisis, and even mocking the rebels for their stupidity.

His eyes turned icy cold.

"They monopolized all the water resources here and used money to numb people's hearts."

Viktor lowered his voice, a hint of disgust in his tone:

"Prosperity built on the dried blood of others... What a disgusting 'ideal land'."

However, for the other two idiots, this place is just a hydration paradise.

"Water!!! So much water!!"

Luffy and Usopp, whose lips were chapped from severe dehydration, had their eyes turn into fountain shapes as soon as they entered the city.

They immediately spotted the most magnificent building in the city center, shaped like a giant pyramid and topped with a huge crocodile statue.

That is the largest casino in the rainy land – "Rain Banquet".

"That looks like the most water!! Let's go!!"

Luffy yelled and dragged Usopp inside.

……

Inside the "Rain Banquet" casino lobby, the place was resplendent with gold and bustling with activity.

"Move aside! Move aside!! I need water!!"

Luffy charged in like a runaway cannonball, not even looking where he was going, and went straight for the bar.

At the bar, a white-haired man wearing a coat with the word "Justice" written on the back was sitting there eating pizza.

"Bang!!"

Luffy crashed headfirst into the man's back, and the two rolled on the ground like a human pyramid, pizza smeared all over their faces.

Luffy got up and stared at the man in front of him with his face covered in pizza sauce, stunned.

The other party was also stunned.

"Straw hat!!!" Smoker's eyes widened, and he almost bit off the cigar in his mouth.

"Whoa!! It's the Smoke Man!!!"

Luffy's eyes popped out of their sockets in fright, and he reflexively yelled, "Run!!"

The once orderly casino was thrown into chaos in an instant.

"Catch the Straw Hat Boy!!"

Smoker transformed into white smoke and roared as he gave chase.

Luffy and Usopp were running wildly through the casino when they bumped into Zoro, Nami, Vivi, Victor, and the others who had arrived shortly after.

"Luffy?! That's... Smoker?!" Zoro exclaimed in shock.

"Stop talking nonsense! Run!!" Luffy led the charge.

During the relentless pursuit by the navy, the group fled in panic.

But guided by some seemingly coincidental coincidence, they rushed through a long corridor and arrived at a door at the end that read "VIP".

"This is definitely a good place to avoid the smoke man!"

Luffy kicked the door open.

……

Inside the VIP room, the lighting was dim, with only a few luxurious crystal chandeliers emitting a cold glow.

There was no escape route at the end of the room.

There was only a huge leather sofa and a man sitting in the shadow of the sofa.

He had his hair slicked back, wore an expensive fur coat, had a cigar in his mouth, a golden iron hook in his left hand, and a horizontal scar on his face that made him look particularly ferocious.

Beneath the floor at his feet was a huge glass tank, in which several enormous banana crocodiles were swimming with their jaws wide open.

Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

He seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Hmph hmph hmph..."

Crocodile exhaled a smoke ring, his sinister eyes sweeping over the intruders, his voice low and hoarse:

"Welcome to Rain Party, Straw Hat Luffy..."

His gaze lingered on the black-haired boy:

"And... 'Crimson Lotus' Victor."

"I never thought you guys would actually make it this far alive."

In that instant.

Viktor's muscles tensed instantly; the oppressive feeling emanating from a top-tier expert made his hair stand on end.

hum-

The three-tomoe Sharingan is activated instantly.

In Viktor's vision, the man before him was not flesh and blood, but a terrifying aggregate of extremely dry sand and dust.

"This guy..."

Warning bells rang in Viktor's mind:

"His body is filled with flowing sand. And in this desert environment, his power is inexhaustible..."

"If we don't consider elemental advantages, this guy's combat power in the desert is practically at the level of a tailed beast."

but……

Since it's sand.

Viktor's eyes flickered, and he quickly formulated a tactic in his mind.

Sand should be afraid of water, right?

Although there isn't a large water source here, I can create it using chakra.

Viktor quietly put his hands behind his back and began to quickly form hand seals.

Those were forty-four extremely complex seals.

【Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique】

Victor was prepared to strike first; without saying anything else, he would first use his water dragon to test the waters of this sand crocodile.

however.

"You damn crocodile!!"

Before Victor could even finish his hand seals, Luffy, seeing his enemy and filled with intense hatred, charged forward without a word, throwing a punch at him.

"I'm going to send you flying!!"

"Wait! Luffy! Don't be impulsive!" Victor shouted.

But it was too late.

Crocodile watched Luffy charging towards him, a mocking smirk playing on his lips as he lightly pressed a button on the armrest.

"What a stupid mouse."

"Click."

The sound of the machine starting up rang out.

The floor beneath their feet suddenly cracked open like a flip-flop!

"Why?!"

Luffy's feet hit the ground as he charged forward.

Not only him, but Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and even Smoker who had caught up with them all lost their footing.

"Aaaaaah!!"

The group slid down the huge slide and fell straight into the trap beneath the floor.

And at the moment the floor cracked.

"Body Instantaneous Movement Technique!"

Viktor reacted extremely quickly, lightly touching the ground with his toes, his body becoming a blur as he attempted to leap to the only safe spot nearby.

"Trying to run away?"

Crocodile snorted coldly.

"The Desert Sword!"

Suddenly, high-pressure sand and dust erupted from the surrounding walls, instantly blocking all of Viktor's footholds and evasive routes.

At the same time, Victor saw Nami falling as well, screaming in fear.

"Victor!!" Nami reached out in despair.

If Viktor forces his way out, he might escape, but Nami will definitely fall heavily and may even get injured.

"Tsk."

Viktor stopped forming hand seals, and a flash of red light appeared in his eyes.

He forcibly twisted his body in mid-air, giving up his chance to escape, and instead accelerated his downward dive.

brush!

Victor grabbed Nami's hand and pulled her into his arms to protect her.

"It's alright now!"

"Bang!!"

next second.

The group crashed heavily to the bottom of a cage made of sea stone.

The flap above slammed shut with a loud "bang".

The light dimmed instantly.

Crocodile walked to the top of the cage, looking down at the trapped group of fish in a barrel, and let out a triumphant laugh:

"Hahaha! Welcome to my specially made cage!"

"Enjoy your last moments here, pirates..."

"Oh? There's a navy guy too, whatever! Hahahaha!"
