One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

The first light of dawn had just illuminated the ruins of God's Island.

"Huff...huff...run fast!!!"

On the jungle path, Luffy, Zoro, Chopper, and Sanji were carrying huge packs that were almost as tall as them, running frantically like thieves.

A clattering sound came from inside the package, clearly the sound of countless gold items colliding.

"Don't turn around! If you get caught, you're done for!!" Luffy stuck out his tongue and his legs twirled like wheels of fire.

Behind them, dust billowed.

A large group of Sky Island residents and Shandian warriors are roaring and chasing after them.

Even more outrageous, the leading group of strongmen were carrying an enormous, priceless golden pillar!

"Wait!! My benefactors!!"

"Don't run away!! Take this with you!! It's a token of our appreciation!!"

However, this enthusiastic shout took on a completely different meaning in Luffy's peculiar thought process.

Luffy glanced back at the pillar, which was thicker than a cannon, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock.

"Aaaaaah!! Run!! They're going to smash us to death with that giant pillar!!!"

"That must be heavy weaponry!!" Zoro exclaimed, sweating profusely. "So taking all the gold really made him too hated after all!"

"I'll never let go of Nami's treasure, even if it kills me!!" Sanji ran fast, but he held onto the bundle on his back tightly.

"Huh? Their expressions look weird to me." Chopper panted.

……

On the Merry.

Victor sat leisurely on the ship's railing, a cup of tea in his hand, watching the comical chase in the distance.

In fact, based on his observations and snippets of conversation, he had already guessed that the residents wanted to give him gifts.

"However..."

Victor pushed up his glasses, a mischievous smile playing on his lips:

"As a pirate, this 'grab and run' exit is definitely more romantic."

Not wanting to spoil the rare atmosphere, he stood up and shouted like a true villainous commander:

"All personnel, prepare! Load anchor!!"

"Usopp! Prepare the wind-blown shells! Help them board the ship!"

"Oh!! Leave it to me!"

Just as Luffy and his two companions jumped onto the deck with strange cries, Usopp activated the wind-blown shell at the stern.

boom!!

A powerful gust of air erupted, and the Going Merry, propelled by the recoil, shot off the shore like an arrow and headed towards the horizon.

"Goodbye!! Uncles! Stop hitting us with pillars!!" Luffy waved from the stern of the ship, still shaken.

On the shore, the Shandian chieftain carrying the golden pillar and Gan Fall stood there, looking completely bewildered.

"...You run really fast."

"That's strange, it seems they don't like this golden pillar."

……

On the deck of the ship.

After confirming that it was safe, everyone collapsed to the ground and burst into laughter.

Besides the four large bags of gold, Victor also patted a large sack next to him.

It wasn't filled with gold, but rather with all sorts of Sky Island Shells—which he had specifically asked the Shandian warriors to collect yesterday.

"This is..." Usopp asked curiously as he leaned closer.

"It's a shell."

Victor picked up a wind shell, tossed it around, and said to Usopp:

"When we get back, we're going to have a big showdown, Usopp."

"Nami's weather stick is ingenious, but its power is insufficient; your slingshot has also reached its limit."

A glint appeared in Viktor's eyes:

"We're going to make full use of all these shells. Impact Shells, Flame Shells, Wind Shells... and then give your weapons a complete upgrade."

Upon hearing this, Usopp's eyes instantly lit up like searchlights:

"Wow!!! A complete upgrade!!!"

He excitedly hugged the bag of seashells and rubbed it against them:

"I almost forgot about these treasures! You're something else, you bastard first mate! You've thought of everything!"

……

The ship sailed to the edge of the clouds, where a bottomless abyss lay ahead.

"If we don't take the Sky Current, how are we going to get down?" Chopper asked worriedly, looking down.

Just then, a whistle sounded from the sky.

"Everyone--!!"

Connie and her father, Piga, arrived in their Wiba to see them off.

Connie blew the special whistle.

"Waaah—"

A giant octopus, resembling a hot air balloon—the "Octopus Balloon"—emerged from beneath the sea of ​​clouds.

Its tentacles gently gripped the hull of the Merry, and its massive body inflated, transforming into a natural parachute.

"With this, we can land safely in Qinghai!" Connie shouted, waving her hand.

The Merry was caught by a giant balloon and slowly descended into the sea of ​​clouds.

As the altitude decreased, the dreamlike scenery of the floating island gradually faded into the distance, becoming an unattainable memory.

In the sky.

"唳——"

Sky Knight Gan Fall rides his winged horse Pierre, hovering above the Merry.

The old knight removed his helmet and offered the highest knightly salute to the group of pirates who, though rude in behavior, were kind at heart.

High up in the ruins.

Vaipa was still wrapped in bandages, but he stood ramrod straight.

He watched the departing ship, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

"Straw Hat Luffy... and that terrifying Guren..."

"This sky will always welcome you."

Luffy's carefree shouts echoed in the wind:

"Guys! The food on Skypiea was delicious!!! See you next time!!"

Victor stood at the stern, his trench coat fluttering in the wind high above.

He didn't speak, but with his back to everyone, he gently waved to the sky where they had once fought.

Goodbye, Kingdom of God.

"I'll just stay here when I'm old," Viktor thought to himself.

……

The octopus balloon carried the Merry into the long, vertical cloud tunnel.

The air currents surged all around, and the white mist swept by rapidly.

As the adrenaline subsides, a wave of fatigue washes over you.

After all the battles, scheming, serious injuries, and last night's not-so-relaxing revelry, Victor finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Instead of returning to his room, he leaned against the pile of bags full of gold on the deck.

All I could hear was the noisy commotion of Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper fighting over snacks, and Zoro snoring.

Amidst this reassuring noise, Viktor closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

"Shh..."

Nami held up her finger, signaling everyone to be quiet.

She picked up a coat, tiptoed over, and gently draped it over Victor.

Looking at that face, whose brows were slightly relaxed even in her sleep, Nami did not leave.

She turned to the side and snuggled into his arms like a kitten, finding a comfortable spot to lean against him.

Through the gaps in the clouds, the view below was no longer pure white, but gradually revealed a deep and vast azure blue.

That's the ocean.

Nami looked down at her hometown, which was gradually approaching, and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.

"Ah... what a wonderful trip."

She murmured softly, her fingers tracing circles on Victor's chest:

"Soaring into the sky for dreams, challenging gods for his comrades... I suddenly understand Luffy's idiot thoughts a little better."

"Hey, Victor."

Viktor did not answer, only his even, long breaths could be heard.

Nami turned her head to look at her sleeping lover, her eyes filled with love and dependence that no longer needed to be hidden.

"I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."

"My... Anathapindika."

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the salty scent of the sea.

And so, the Straw Hat crew ended their miraculous adventure at 10,000 meters in the sky, returning to the chaotic yet wonderful Qinghai with a ship full of gold, legends, and bonds.
