One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Inside the enormous sea stone cage.

"Bang!"

As Crocodile finished speaking, the heavy flap mechanism above his head slammed shut with a loud "boom," cutting off the last ray of light from the outside world.

The light inside the cage became dim and oppressive.

"Damn it... that bastard crocodile! He actually used a trap!"

Luffy angrily got up from the ground and charged at the fence in front of him without saying a word, grabbing the bars with both hands and trying to pry them open:

"Open it!!"

However, the moment his hands touched the railing...

"Waaah..."

Luffy felt as if he had been electrocuted, as if all his strength had been instantly drained.

His eyes rolled back, and he slid down the railing like a lump of soft mud, collapsing to the ground.

"Hey! Straw Hat! What's wrong?"

Upon seeing this, Smoker frowned and instinctively tried to transform into an elemental form to pass through the railing.

But the same thing happened when his smoke touched the railing.

"Cough cough... Ugh!"

Smoker grunted, his usually upright body instantly losing its support, and he knelt on one knee.

The ten-armed sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

"What's going on... I can't muster any strength at all... Could it be seastone?!"

"Guhahahaha!"

Outside the cage, Crocodile looked at the group of turtles trapped in a cage and let out a triumphant laugh:

"Don't waste your energy."

He exhaled a smoke ring, looking contemptuously at the limp ability users:

"This cage is made of 'Seastone.' This stone exudes the same energy as the ocean."

"For Devil Fruit users, once they come into contact with it, they become as powerless as a duck that can't swim."

"This place... is your hell."

"Hai Lou Shi Yao..."

Viktor was unaffected.

Despite not having superpowers, he still maintained ample physical strength.

Viktor walked to the railing, pulled out a jet-black kunai covered in chakra, and slashed it hard at the railing.

"Sizzle!!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

However, not a single white mark was left on the railing; instead, a chip was broken in the steel kunai in Victor's hand.

"Tsk."

Viktor put away his kunai, raising an eyebrow slightly:

"It's so hard... It seems impossible to get out by physical means."

"Oh?"

Crocodile noticed the only black-haired boy standing upright, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes:

"You look quite energetic, 'Gu Lian'. It seems you're not a power user after all."

"But don't waste your energy. Even that pirate hunter couldn't cut through this hardness."

Zoro was trying to draw his sword at the moment. Upon hearing this, he gritted his teeth with a gloomy expression, but did not refute it.

Because his intuition told him that this thing was indeed ridiculously hard.

Just then.

"Everyone!! I'm here!"

Vivi's voice came from the corridor.

Because she ran relatively slowly and was familiar with the terrain, she did not fall into the trap.

"Vivi! Run!" Luffy shouted weakly.

However, in a sandy arena, how could Vivi possibly escape?

"The Desert Diamond Sword!"

Crocodile casually swung his hand, and the Sand Blade forced Vivi's retreat.

Immediately afterwards, a large, sand-like hand reached out and easily grabbed Weiwei's neck, lifting her into the air.

"Let her go!!" Nami and Usopp shouted in terror.

"What a touching reunion, Your Highness."

Crocodile, holding Vivi, looked down at the people in the cage.

Finally, he revealed his insane plan, "Utopia," to these "dying men":

"Keep your eyes peeled, this is the final moment."

"I have arranged for my men to impersonate the King's army and attack civilians, while also inciting the rebels to launch a general offensive."

Crocodile's eyes gleamed with fanatical ambition:

"The two armies will clash in Arubana, and this country will be destroyed in civil war. And I, as a 'hero,' will take over all of this and build my own ideal world!"

"And...we obtained the ancient weapon that slumbers beneath this country—'Pluto'!"

"Pluto?!" Smoker's pupils contracted sharply. As a Marine, he knew all too well what that meant.

"You bastard!!"

Luffy and Vivi roared angrily and struggled desperately.

But under the overwhelming power and the suppression of the Seastone, their anger seemed so powerless.

"Alright, enough of the nonsense."

Crocodile glanced at the gold watch on his wrist, then pulled a key from his pocket and waved it in front of everyone:

"This key is the only hope to open this cage."

"then."

He tossed it casually.

But instead of throwing the key to everyone, they threw it directly into the huge pool of water under the floor.

"roar!!"

A giant banana crocodile opened its blood-red maw and swallowed the key whole.

"Hahaha! Sorry, it's not for you guys."

"An hour later, the water inlet to this room will open, and water will fill the entire room."

Crocodile turned around, picked up Vivi, and walked out:

"You will slowly savor the pleasure of drowning amidst this long period of fear."

"Farewell, Straw Hat Luffy."

"Boom!"

The heavy door closed.

The room fell into a deathly silence, broken only by the sounds of crocodiles swimming in the pool and the humming of the water pipes starting to operate.

A sense of despair was spreading.

Nami slumped to the ground, hugging her knees: "It's over...we're all going to die here..."

Usopp was terrified, tears and snot streaming down his face: "I don't want to be eaten by a crocodile!!"

however.

"Don't rush to write your wills, everyone."

A calm voice broke the silence.

Viktor leaned against the railing, arms crossed, showing no sign of panic.

His gaze swept over everyone in the cage:

"Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and that guy with the smoke..."

Viktor's lips curled slightly upward, and a glint of wisdom shone in his dark eyes:

"Two people are missing."

"Why?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and looked around.

"Yeah!! What about that perverted cook and Clay?!" Zoro exclaimed in surprise.

"Sanji!! Sanji is missing!!" Nami's eyes lit up with renewed hope.

From the moment they entered the Rain Party, Sanji and Clay were never with the main group!

"That lecherous cook, he always seems so unreliable..."

Viktor looked at the tightly closed door and said with a smile:

"But in such crucial moments, he can be a 'secret weapon'."

"Puru puru puru... puru puru puru..."

Just then.

As Crocodile left, the Den Den Mushi he had deliberately left on the table to humiliate them suddenly rang.

Because he was not far from the railing, Viktor reached out and grabbed the microphone.

"Click".

The call was connected.

"Feed? This is the VIP room of 'Rain Banquet'," Victor said calmly.

On the other end of the phone came a lazy, familiar voice, accompanied by the sound of a lighter lighting a cigarette:

"Oh, did it connect?"

"Um... I am 'Mr. Prince'."

"Goo goo goo goo! I am Mr. King!"

"Sanji!! Clay!" Luffy and Usopp shouted excitedly, as if they had heard the voices of angels.

"Gah..."

With a muffled thud and a scream, Sanji's voice continued to ring out.

"Shut up, you idiots."

"Listen up, I've lured away those bastards outside who call themselves 'Billionaire Elders'."

"And just now I also made a harassing call to that sand crocodile, pretending to be one of his men and saying something big had happened outside."

Sanji on the other end of the phone exhaled a smoke ring and chuckled softly:

"Now, that crocodile has been tricked by my 'luring the tiger away from the mountain' trick and has no choice but to leave Yuyan and go outside to check the situation."

"Take this opportunity..."

"Well done, Mr. Prince."

Hearing this, Viktor gripped the microphone tightly, looked at his companions in the cage, and a smile curled at the corner of his lips:

"The crocodile has been transferred, and the guards are in disarray."

"The opportunity has arrived."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding walls made a series of noises, the sound of a mechanism being activated.
