One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

The scorching sun beats down on the earth in the vast desert.

A giant migrating crab, with its six long legs, is speeding towards Arubana, kicking up clouds of yellow sand.

The Straw Hat crew were lying on the crab's back, looking anxious.

"call out--!!"

Just then, a golden, cold light suddenly shot out from the billowing sand and dust on the side.

It was a huge golden iron hook, filled with terrifying killing intent, which hooked directly onto one of the moving crab's hind legs.

The immense pulling force caused the running crab to stumble and nearly tip over.

Immediately afterwards, with a flick of the golden hook, it went straight for Princess Vivi on the crab's back.

"Hahaha! I told you, you can't escape!"

Accompanied by hoarse laughter, a whirlwind swept across the desert:

"Leave the princess here; everyone else can get out."

At the critical moment.

"Dream on!!"

A red figure leaped off the crab's back.

Luffy spun in the air and kicked away the deadly golden hook with his right foot.

"Bang!"

Luffy landed steadily on the scorching sand, blocking Crocodile and the Moving Crab.

He adjusted his straw hat, didn't turn around, but shouted loudly:

"Everyone, get out of here!! I'll take this guy down!!"

"Luffy!!" Vivi and Nami cried out in panic. How could they possibly leave Luffy alone to face the terrifying Crocodile?

"Stop! We need to help him!" Vivi tried to stop the moving crab.

Keep running!

A strong hand pressed firmly on Weiwei's shoulder.

Victor stood on the crab's back, his black eyes coldly fixed on what was behind him, and issued an irrefutable command to the moving crab:

"Full speed ahead!! Don't look back!!"

The migrating crab sensed that terrifying aura and dared not disobey, so it could only tearfully continue its frantic run.

"But Luffy..." Vivi cried out in distress.

"He is the captain."

Viktor's voice, though calm, carried an undeniable trust:

"Since he said he'd hand it over, then we'll trust him. If even he loses... then we'll just be throwing our lives away."

"Trust him, that idiot... he's actually very strong."

……

In the heart of the desert, the wind and sand howled.

Luffy is alone, facing Crocodile, who is known as "Sand Crocodile".

"You ignorant brat."

Crocodile reattached his golden hook, his body gradually turning into sand, his eyes filled with contempt.

"Rubber rubber—machine gun!!!"

Without uttering a single word, Luffy unleashed a barrage of punches, creating countless afterimages, as he hurtled towards Crocodile like a storm.

however.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

All the fists passed through Crocodile's body without any resistance, only scattering puffs of yellow sand.

The sand swirled in the air before quickly coalescing back into Crocodile's humanoid form.

"it's useless."

Crocodile sneered, not even bothering to dodge:

"In the first half of the Grand Line, Logia-type Devil Fruits were synonymous with invincibility."

"No matter how fast or heavy your punch is, it's meaningless if it doesn't hit a solid target."

"You... don't even have the right to touch me."

Faced with this ghost-like enemy who was untouchable and toying with him at will, Luffy stopped attacking and gasped for breath.

In the past, he might have felt despair.

But at this moment, under the pressure of life and death.

Suddenly, the image of that starry night in the small garden flashed through his mind.

The giants' majestic voices seemed to echo in my ears.

"Sense the aura..." Donli said.

"Transform your will into armor... to attack that 'invisible' entity..." Brogy raised his giant axe.

"Hey! Straw Hat Boy! Don't use brute force, use your willpower to catch it!"

"call……"

Luffy took a deep breath and, amidst the clamor of the battlefield, slowly closed his eyes.

That mysterious feeling flows through the body; it is the potential that lies dormant deep within the human body.

He no longer simply uses brute force to throw punches.

Instead, he channeled all his anger towards Crocodile, his determination to protect his comrades, and his indomitable will into his right fist.

hum-

In that instant, Luffy suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning!

"I don't care if you're a god or sand!!"

Luffy's right arm suddenly stretched backward, his muscles taut to the limit:

"Anyway, the one I'm going to beat up is you!!!!"

"Rubber, rubber—"

Luffy threw another punch.

This time, there was no water on the fist.

But at the moment of high-speed friction with the air, a faint, barely perceptible black aura was faintly entwined—that was the rudimentary form of Armament Haki!

"pistol!!!!"

Crocodile, standing still, intended to transform into his elemental form and ignore the attack, just as he had done before.

But just as the fist was about to hit him, his instincts as a strong person suddenly went into overdrive!

A strong sense of crisis made his hair stand on end!

"What?!"

But he underestimated his opponent, and it was too late for him to dodge.

"Bang!!!!"

A dull thud was heard.

That was a real, physical collision between bodies!

This punch landed squarely on Crocodile's arrogant face!

"Ugh!!"

Crocodile was sent flying into the air, like a rag doll, rolling several times on the sand before coming to a stop.

He covered his face, staring in shock at the glaring crimson stain on his glove.

"Blood?!……"

Crocodile's pupils dilated in shock as he stared incredulously at the little brat in the straw hat:

"Could it be... an aura of dominance?!"

"How is this possible?! How could a mere brat in this paradise stage possibly possess the power of this new world?!"

"Hit!!"

Seeing this, Luffy's confidence soared.

He pressed his advantage, though his "domineering aura" was sometimes effective and sometimes not.

But with his beast-like keen intuition, he accurately caught Crocodile's physical form with several consecutive punches.

"Bang! Bang!"

Crocodile was actually suppressed for a time and had to retreat several steps.

However, the humiliation of being injured by a newcomer completely enraged the infamous Crocodile.

"Great...Straw Hat Boy."

Crocodile steadied himself, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes turned extremely terrifying—they held true killing intent.

"Since you're courting death... then I'll bestow upon you utterly despair!!"

"The Desert Sword!!"

boom!!

He suddenly waved his hand, and a huge sand blade slashed out along the ground, instantly cutting off Luffy's attack.

Its momentum did not diminish, and it even cut a bottomless crack in the earth.

Followed by.

"Whoosh!"

Crocodile used his Sand Transformation to appear in front of Luffy like a ghost.

His right hand shot out and grabbed Luffy's fist as it swung at him.

"Erosion of Reincarnation!!"

The terrifying power of the Sand-Sand Fruit is activated.

"Aaaaaah!!"

Luffy let out a heart-wrenching scream.

All the moisture in his once plump, rubbery right arm was frantically drained the moment it was grabbed.

In just one second, the arm turned into a withered, shriveled mummy, like a piece of dead wood that had been dried up for thousands of years.

The excruciating pain and sudden dehydration caused Luffy to black out and lose consciousness.

"Hmph, in the end he's just a monkey who can only swing his fists randomly."

Crocodile showed no mercy.

"Click."

The outer shell of the golden hook on his left hand popped open, revealing a sharp scorpion venom hook inside that gleamed with purple light.

"Go to hell! You arrogant brat!"

"Pfft!!!!"

Without any hesitation.

The poisoned golden hook mercilessly pierced Luffy's chest, lifting him high into the air, blood dripping down the hook onto the scorching yellow sand.

"Cough..." Luffy coughed up blood and lowered his head completely.

"This is what happens when you challenge me."

Crocodile tossed it aside like trash.

"thump."

The dying Luffy was thrown into a huge quicksand vortex nearby, and his body slowly sank with the quicksand.

"The gap in strength... is an insurmountable chasm."

Crocodile didn't even glance at the sinking figure. His body transformed into a violent sandstorm and roared towards Albana.

The desert returned to silence.

Only that quicksand vortex continued to relentlessly devour the young pirate.

It looked like Luffy's head was about to be completely buried by the yellow sand.

Just then.

"Do you want to live, D clan?"

On the edge of the desert, the figure of a woman dressed in denim appears.

Robin looked at Luffy, who was on the verge of death.

She remembered Victor's words at Whiskey Peak: "Survivor of Ohara."

"Thirty-round Flower - Grab".

Countless pale arms suddenly bloomed from the quicksand like flowers, connecting with each other to form a long rope.

Just a second before the quicksand completely engulfed Luffy, that hand gripped Luffy's withered arm tightly, pulling him back from the brink of death.
