One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

"Hey! You kids! You're not allowed to bully Ququ!"

A powerful roar interrupted everyone's thoughts.

An old man with white hair, wearing armor and round glasses, walked over aggressively, brandishing a broom, and stood protectively in front of the little dog named Ququ.

"Huh? Who are you, old man?" Zoro asked impatiently, arms crossed.

"I am the mayor of this town, Budor!" The old man stared warily at the group. "And you, who are you? What are you doing here?"

Luffy lay in the cage, pressing his face against the bars, revealing a set of big white teeth.

"I'm Luffy! I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

"Smack."

Viktor, Zoro, and even Nami all instinctively covered their foreheads.

This guy really does have to promote his pirate identity wherever he goes.

"What?! Pirates?!"

Mayor Budor's expression changed drastically, and he gripped the broom even tighter.

"I knew it! Just like Buggy's gang! Get out of here immediately! Pirates aren't welcome here!"

"Hey, old man," Zoro sighed helplessly, "we're not like Buggy, we're just passing by, don't worry."

"I won't believe your pirates' nonsense!" Budor roared stubbornly.

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, Victor ignored the argument, squatted down, and reached out to rub the head of the puppy named Ququ.

It feels nice to the touch, it's fluffy.

"A pet..."

Looking into QuQu's determined black bean eyes, Victor's thoughts drifted into his mind as he opened the system's [Summoning Beast] interface.

As a ninja, how can you not have a summoning beast?

However, when he saw those strings of numbers, his heart sank.

【Ninja Dog】: Price: 2,000 Ninja Points.

[Summoning Crow]: Price: 3,000 Ninja Points.

【Myoboku Mountain Toad (Medium)】: Price: 5,000 Ninja Points.

【Nine-Rabjama】: Price: 10,000,000 Ninja Points.

"Hmm..." Viktor looked at his pitiful three-digit balance and silently closed the interface.

Forget it, I'll just catch a sea king to use later.

At this moment, Nami also came over, gently patted QuQu's head, and then turned her head to look at Viktor.

"Hey, thanks for saving me earlier. That fire-breathing ability... you ate a Devil Fruit too?"

Viktor smiled and put a finger to his lips.

"Don't mention it, Miss Navigator. As for that... well, that's a magician's secret."

"Hmph, playing tricks." Nami curled her lip, changing the subject, "Speaking of which, what's this dog doing sitting here?"

"Watching the store."

Perhaps noticing that Victor and Nami meant no harm to the dog, Mayor Budor's tone softened slightly.

He stepped forward and took out a bag of dog food from his pocket.

"Watching the store?" Nami looked up and glanced around. "Ah, this is a pet supply store, isn't it?"

"Yes, the owner of this shop is a good friend of mine."

Budor opened the shop door, skillfully took out a food bowl, filled it with dog food, and placed it in front of Ququ. "I'm here to feed Ququ in his place."

"replace?"

"Ah." Budor's eyes dimmed slightly. "The owner of this shop passed away from illness three months ago."

Nami was stunned, staring at the little dog that was eating dog food with its head down.

"Could it be... that it has been waiting for its owner to return?"

"That's what everyone says. But I think that for Ququ, this shop is its most precious memory with its owner, a treasure it would protect with its life."

Budor looked at Ququ with eyes full of affection.

"Ah...that's really touching." Nami couldn't help but be moved.

At this heartwarming and touching moment.

"Gurgle..."

An untimely swallowing sound rang out.

Viktor turned his head and saw Luffy in the cage with his face pressed against the bars, staring intently at the dog food in QuQu's bowl, drooling all over the ground.

"It looks so delicious..."

Viktor's forehead vein throbbed, and he couldn't help but say, "Luffy, that's Chuchu's dog food..."

"Has your diet become this extensive?"

Before he could finish speaking, Viktor's expression suddenly changed.

He stood up abruptly, his brows furrowed, and his dark eyes instantly looked towards the end of the street.

"What's wrong?" Nami was startled by his actions.

"Nami, take the mayor and leave here first."

Victor's voice turned cold.

Zoro, standing nearby, also keenly sensed something, placing his hand on the hilt of his sword and a warlike smile playing on his lips.

"Ah, a murderous fellow is here. Leave the rest to us."

"The enemy?" Nami's face paled, and she immediately grabbed Budor's hand. "Quick, let's go! Mayor!"

Budor tried to pick up Ququ again: "Ququ! Come with me! It's dangerous!"

"Woof!"

However, Ququ called out to the mayor and stood guard at the shop entrance, refusing to leave even a step.

"It doesn't want to leave!" Budor was sweating profusely with anxiety.

"No time!" Nami glanced at the dust rising in the distance, gritted her teeth, and forcefully pulled the mayor towards the back alley. "Victor! You're all in my hands now!"

Just as the two had evacuated...

"roar--!!!"

A deafening roar echoed through the street.

Then, the ground shook violently.

"boom!"

A gigantic lion, as large as an elephant, descended from the sky and crashed heavily onto the ground in front of Luffy and his crew, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Wow! What a huge lion! It looks so meaty!" Even inside the cage, Luffy's focus remained peculiar.

The smoke and dust cleared.

On the lion's back sat a tamer with a fur scarf and an unusual hairstyle.

Mochi looked down at the group, cracking his whip, his face full of arrogance.

"So you're that audacious red-eyed brat, and the pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro?"

"Hmph, I didn't expect you guys hadn't run away yet. That saves me the trouble of looking for you."

"An unknown nobody, yet he speaks with such arrogance."

Zoro snorted coldly, slowly drawing his Wado Ichimonji. "Just because you're riding a big cat, you think you're invincible?"

"That certainly saves us the trouble of looking for you, you stupid little thing."

Mochi's forehead veins bulged: "Nameless nobodies?! Hairy people?! You're utterly arrogant! I'm Mochi, the vice-captain and beast tamer of the Buggy Pirates!"

"Ah! I want to eat meat!" Luffy shouted from inside the cage.

This completely enraged Mochi.

"Aaaaah! Shut up! Lich! Eat them up!"

Mochi suddenly swung his whip.

"roar!"

The giant lion named Rich let out a roar, and with a burst of power from its hind legs, its massive body soared into the air.

It opened its blood-red maw and pounced on Zoro at the front, bringing with it a foul stench!

The blow was so powerful that it even made the air crackle.

Zoro's eyes narrowed, and he prepared to dodge to the side and draw his sword to counterattack.

Excuse me.

A voice suddenly rang in his ear.

Instead of dodging, Victor used his strength to lift the heavy iron cage containing Luffy.

His chakra erupted, and his power was amplified at that moment.

"Since you're a lion, why don't you help open a can of food?"

Viktor shouted, but instead of protecting Luffy, he threw the iron cage in his hand like a bowling ball, accurately placing it within range of Richie's attack!

"Huh?! Viktor, what are you doing?!" Luffy screamed in terror from inside the cage.

next second.

"Bang--!!!"

Richie's enormous lion paws, powerful enough to shatter rocks, slammed down hard on the iron cage.

The once indestructible iron cage was instantly deformed and twisted by the monstrous strength of the giant beast.

It emitted a piercing metallic crack, and then—completely disintegrated!

"Uha! They're out!!"

Luffy sprang out of the broken cage, excitedly raising his hands in celebration.

"You've got it, Victor! You're finally free!"

however.

Before he could even feel happy for a second...

Leech's claw, which had shattered the cage, didn't stop. Using the remaining force, his massive paw slammed into Luffy's face.

"Snapped!"

"Whoa—!"

Having just gained his freedom, Luffy was slapped away like a fly, his entire body turning into a blur before crashing into the nearby ruins with a loud thud.

The entire room fell silent.

Mochi, riding on the lion's back, watched Luffy fly away, gave a smug snort, and slowly raised a finger:

"one."
