One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

A gentle sea breeze blew across the deck of the Going Merry.

Victor was standing there, arms crossed, brows slightly furrowed.

He was still racking his brains trying to figure out the most "respectable" way to snatch back his custom-made recliner from that cunning older woman.

"How about we use the Sharingan to hypnotize him?" Viktor had just come up with this idea.

Sudden.

The sky, which was originally cloudless and clear, suddenly turned pitch black without warning.

"Hmm? A solar eclipse?"

Everyone looked up in surprise.

But this is neither a solar eclipse nor a dark cloud.

When everyone could see the view above them, their pupils instantly contracted to their maximum size.

It was a huge, suffocating, and dilapidated galleon, which was plummeting straight down from the clouds, accompanied by terrifying air currents!

The enormous shadow, like a mountain pressing down, instantly enveloped the tiny Going Merry.

"Whoaaaaah! The ship's falling!!" Usopp and Chopper screamed in terror, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

"There's no way to dodge it!" Nami's face turned pale. At this speed and size of the fall, the Going Merry would be smashed to pieces!

"This size... is a bit troublesome."

Viktor, however, remained calm.

He stepped forward and stood in front of the crowd.

"Since we can't avoid it, let's blast it to smithereens."

Viktor took a deep breath, his chest bulging, and his fire-attribute chakra was compressed to its limit in an instant.

Yin-wu-wei-yin!

Viktor suddenly raised his head and, facing the falling giant ship in the sky, spat out:

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation Arrow!!!!"

boom------!!!!

A fiery arrow, condensed to its maximum intensity, shot into the sky and exploded into a raging sea of ​​orange-red flames the instant it touched the bottom of the giant ship!

The terrifying heat instantly engulfed the rotten wooden boat.

"Crackling and popping!"

The massive sailboat was blasted into pieces in mid-air, turning into countless burning wreckage scattered everywhere.

"Great opportunity! Leave the rest to us!"

Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji jumped up at the same time.

"Rubber, rubber—Gatling!"

"Three-Sword Style: Rhinoceros Return!"

"Lamb Shot!"

The three men sliced ​​through the air like fruit, smashing all the larger pieces of wreckage that could have hit the Merry.

"Splash!!"

Ultimately, the main wreckage of the ship crashed heavily into the sea surrounding the Merry.

Although it avoided a direct impact, the massive object entering the water created towering waves tens of meters high.

"Hurry up, everyone!!"

Nami rushed to the ship's wheel immediately, her eyes becoming incredibly focused.

With her exceptional seamanship, she managed to keep the Merry afloat amidst the crests and troughs of the waves.

"Hard to port!! Charge out with the waves!!"

……

After the crisis, the sea returned to calm.

However, an even bigger mystery followed.

"What... what's going on?"

Nami looked at the record pointer on her wrist, her face turning extremely pale.

The magnetic pointer, which should have pointed to the next island, was now pointing straight up, motionless, as if it were broken.

"Oh no... the save pointer is broken!" Nami exclaimed in alarm, tapping the glass case. "It's pointing straight up!"

"It's not broken, Miss Navigator."

Robin closed the book in her hand, walked over gracefully, glanced at the vertical pointer, and her eyes gleamed:

"The log pointer never lies."

"Since it's pointing upwards, it means... there's an island with a strong magnetic field in the sky above that's attracting it."

"That is, the legendary 'Sky Island'."

"Sky Island?!"

Everyone was shocked.

"Could it be an island in the sky?!"

Luffy's eyes widened instantly, his mouth forming an "O" shape, before he unleashed an excited scream powerful enough to shatter eardrums:

"Awesome!!! Sky islands!! I want to go!! I want to go to the Sky Island!!"

"Hey, that's just a legend, right? How could there really be an island floating in the sky?" Usopp said, looking incredulous.

"Whether it's a legend or not, since the pointer has pointed to it, we have to go and see."

Viktor smiled and began his warm-up exercises:

"Moreover, that ship that just fell overboard is the best evidence. To find clues... we need to go down there."

"Diving team! Ready!"

……

thump! thump!

Zoro, Sanji, and Victor dived into the deep sea to search for clues in the shipwreck wreckage.

The ship is very old, covered in rotten wood and seaweed.

Zoro, who has no sense of direction, is surprisingly adept at navigating underwater, swimming around like a headless fly.

Surprisingly, they found a map with strange terrain drawn on it in a sealed box.

Victor, on the other hand, swam to the depths of the cabin.

Using the Sharingan's perception, he discovered some rusty weapons and several strangely shaped seashells in a corner.

"This is... a Sky Island Shell."

Viktor picked up a seashell, understanding dawning on his mind.

As a transmigrator, he naturally knew that Sky Island was real, and even knew that it was ruled by a megalomaniac named Enel.

"With these things, we can make everyone believe in the existence of Sky Island."

Victor packed his things and swam towards the surface.

……

Back on deck.

The group sat together, examining the salvaged spoils.

"Look! This map says 'Skypiea'!" Nami pointed to the map Zoro had retrieved.

"And this shell can spew out wind!" Luffy laughed as he showed off the Wind Shell he had stolen from Victor.

Just as everyone was getting excited.

"Waaaaah—!!"

A piercing alarm suddenly went off.

A salvage vessel with an extremely exaggerated design and a giant monkey head on its bow suddenly emerged from the sea fog beside it, its huge grabber heading straight for the wreckage of the Merry next to it.

"Hey! That prey is mine!!"

A burly human man who looks like a monkey—the captain of the Ape Pirates, "Salvage King" Ape—stands at the bow of the ship and shouts loudly:

"Get out of here if you don't want to die! This is the territory of the Ape Pirates!"

"Huh? Stealing prey?"

The Straw Hat crew, who were initially excited about discovering clues to Skypiea, instantly turned dangerous upon hearing this.

"I was just looking for someone to ask for directions."

Luffy clenched his fist, making a cracking sound.

"Go! Men! Give that monkey a good beating!"

"oh!!!"

The battle erupted in an instant and ended in an instant.

These guys who specialize in salvage are no match for the Straw Hat crew who just defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

A few minutes later.

"I'm sorry! I was wrong! Please don't hit me!"

The arrogant ape leader, who had been so cocky just moments before, was now kneeling on the deck, his face bruised and swollen, clutching his ears.

Viktor sat on a wooden barrel nearby, toying with a kunai in his hand, watching him with a smile:

"So, how do I get to the Sky Island?"

"Sir... I... I really don't know how to get to the Sky Island..."

The ape trembled with fear. Looking at the kunai in the red-eyed boy's hand, he blurted out, "..."

"But... there might be clues on nearby Jaya Island! It's a hotbed of pirates and information brokers!"

"Gaya Island?"

Nami glanced at the Log Pose, which was still pointing to the sky, but gathering information from nearby islands was indeed the only option at the moment.

"Alright! Target: Jaya Island!!" Luffy shouted.

The Going Merry immediately changed course and headed towards Jaya Island, the "pirate paradise" filled with violence, money, and lawlessness.
