One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

The Going Merry slowly sailed away from the waters of Alabasta, heading towards the unknown distance.

Although the sky was azure and the sea breeze was gentle, the atmosphere on the deck felt somewhat... eerie.

"Hiss—ha—"

In one corner of the deck, Zoro sat cross-legged, holding maintenance tools and constantly wiping the "Wado Ichimonji" in his hand.

His sharp eyes, occasionally peering through the cold glint of the blade, were fixed on the woman sitting on the second deck reading a book.

Behind the mainmast.

"Hey, Chopper, go say hello to her."

"No...you should go, Usopp, you are a brave warrior of the sea..."

Usopp and Chopper, those two cowards, were hiding on top of each other, whispering to the woman named Nico Robin.

They were encouraging each other to test the waters with this "former vice president of Baroque Works".

Besides the tensions on the human side, a serious "transfer of power" is also taking place in the animal kingdom.

"quack!"

Clay was standing on the ship's railing, staring intently at Rasu, the dachshund lying on the ground.

As a weapon that once ate the "gun-gun fruit," Rasu was now terrified by the crow's imposing presence and bowed its head in submission.

His two front paws were on the ground, and his body was trembling.

"Quack! Quack quack... Cluck cluck quack! (Listen up, newbie! I'm the boss of the animals on this ship! Even if you turn into a gun, you still have to listen to me!)"

Clay called out and pointed with his wing towards the kitchen, then towards Victor's room.

It seems to be reciting some complex "survival rules for the Merry".

Surprisingly, Rasu understood!

The dog stared wide-eyed at the crow that was fluent in "foreign languages" with a look of shock.

He then nodded repeatedly, like someone pounding garlic, to show absolute obedience.

Since the others didn't understand "bird language" or "dog language," they naturally had no idea what outrageous rules Clay had set for this newcomer.

Seeing Rasu submit, Clay laughed heartily with satisfaction, displaying an arrogant air of "I am the ruler of the skies."

Just then.

"yawn--"

Victor stretched and yawned as he walked out of the cabin.

Last night's "intense exercise" with Nami took a toll on his energy, and now he just wants to sunbathe.

He habitually walked towards the corner on the deck with the best view, the most sunlight, and excellent shelter from the wind—

That was the location of his specially made recliner, which was reserved for him as the "first mate".

However, when he got there, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

On the throne that originally belonged to him, sat a woman dressed in purple.

Robin elegantly crossed his legs, holding a steaming cup of coffee in his hand, with a thick ancient book spread out on his lap.

The sunlight shone on her intellectual face, making her appear serene and peaceful.

"Hey, that's...my seat, right?"

Victor raised an eyebrow, attempting to assert some "first mate authority" to reclaim his territory:

"Ahem, newbie. Even though Luffy agreed to let you join the crew, there's still the order of arrival..."

"Allah."

Robin closed the book and looked up.

She showed no intention of getting up; instead, a sly smile curled at the corner of her lips.

"The scenery here is beautiful, and the sunshine is great."

She looked at Viktor, a hint of mockery in her eyes:

"I imagine the magnanimous first mate wouldn't mind sharing this little bit of comfort with a lady who has nowhere else to go, would he?"

Before he could finish speaking...

"Thirty rounds of flowers."

Petals fluttered in the air.

Before Victor could refuse, several pale arms suddenly grew out of the deck on his shoulders and back.

"Why?"

Immediately afterwards, these hands began to skillfully massage Viktor's shoulders and back.

There was even a hand that appeared out of thin air, bringing a chilled drink to his lips.

"Is the force alright?" Robin asked with a smile.

"Hmm... the left side is a little heavier... Wait! What am I saying!"

Viktor almost succumbed to this gentle embrace.

This "flower and fruit" massage service is simply unfair!

"Hehehehe! This is so funny!"

Luffy sat on the railing, watching Victor being "served" obediently by Robin using her Devil Fruit powers.

There were also the comical gestures Robin conjured up on his head, making him laugh so hard he almost fell over.

"Nami! Did this woman not pay for her meals?" Victor tried to find an ally.

however.

"This is a small gift, Miss Navigator."

As if by magic, Robin pulled a small bag of crystal-clear, high-quality rubies from his pocket—the secret stash from Crocodile's vault.

"Wow!!!"

Nami's eyes instantly transformed into the Beli symbol as she snatched the jewel bag.

The next second, the navigator lady instantly switched sides.

"Victor! You're so stingy!"

Nami retorted righteously, "Robin just boarded the ship, what's wrong with sitting on a deck chair for a bit? You're a man, you should be more magnanimous!"

As she spoke, she secretly winked at Viktor.

Actually, the gemstones were just an excuse.

Nami's true confidence stemmed from their passionate embrace the previous night, which confirmed Viktor's feelings for her and his love for her.

Now that her position as the empress was secure, she naturally let go of most of her hostility towards this mature older sister.

What's more... she gave so much.

"I also think Robin is fine!"

Sanji was already completely captivated by Robin's beauty.

Not only did he not help Victor, but he also brought a plate of exquisite tea and snacks, twirling it all the way to Robin:

"Robin-chan~ This afternoon tea is specially prepared for you~ Please enjoy~"

"Thank you, Mr. Chef." Robin smiled politely.

"Ah~ I can't take it anymore~" Sanji's nose started bleeding profusely.

At this moment, Usopp, who was hiding behind the mast, finally pushed Chopper out.

"Go quickly, Chopper!"

Chopper cautiously moved towards Robin, hiding behind the door frame with only half his face showing:

"Y-you...hello...I'm Chopper, the ship's doctor..."

Robin put down his coffee, looked at the furry little guy, and his smile deepened:

"Is he the ship's doctor?"

She reached out and gently touched Chopper's hat:

"How cute, Dr. Chopper."

"!!!"

Upon hearing the words "cute" and "doctor," Chopper instantly broke down.

Its face turned as red as a tomato, its body twisted into a pretzel shape, yet it uttered words that didn't reflect its true feelings:

"You...you bastard...I won't be happy even if you say I'm cute...you bastard~~"

Seeing the miserable state of everyone who had fallen, Viktor's face darkened.

He could only place his last hope on the only person who understood.

"Zoro! Say something too! This newcomer's domineering behavior is absolutely outrageous!"

However, Zoro merely glanced at them coldly and continued wiping his sword.

"boring."

"I only care whether this woman will betray me. As for trivial matters like who gets the chaise lounge... don't bother me with them."

"..."

Viktor was completely isolated and helpless.

"Fine, fine, you're all bullying honest people."

Victor sighed helplessly and beckoned Clay, who was bullying the dog.

As the sun sets, its golden rays spill across the sea.

Victor gave up the fight for the throne and casually sat on the deck railing, letting the sea breeze blow through his black hair.

He looked at Robin, who was surrounded by the crowd and smiling as she answered Luffy and Chopper's questions.

Looking into her eyes, which were always filled with wariness and aloofness, there seemed to be a touch of genuine warmth in them now.

"That's the magic of the Straw Hat Pirates."

Victor took a piece of candy out of his pocket and popped it into his mouth, his eyes softening.
