One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Passing through the massive "Akula Laguna" warning buoy.

The Merry, following the ocean currents, finally slowly sailed into the legendary floating city—the Water Seven.

The sight before them made everyone hold their breath.

This is a miraculous city built entirely on the sea.

A massive fountain erupts from the top of the city, nourishing the entire city like a crown.

Countless waterways crisscross, replacing streets, and stone buildings of various styles are stacked one on top of another.

"Wow, that's amazing! The city is spraying water!" Luffy exclaimed, his eyes sparkling as he lay on the bow of the ship.

To make it easier to move around in this labyrinthine water city, and also to feel more like a tourist.

The Straw Hat crew rented a unique mode of transportation here called "Blue".

These watercrafts, with their seahorse-like faces and gentle nature, have become a new favorite among many.

As a "couple," Viktor and Nami naturally rode together on one.

"We need to go to the biggest shipyard, and we also need to exchange money!"

Nami sat on Blue's soft back seat, directing Blue to move forward.

Small boats glide through shimmering waterways, flanked by a dazzling array of shops and bustling markets.

"Victor! Look at that! What a beautiful mask!"

"Wow! This grilled pork belly looks delicious!"

Nami was as excited as a little girl who had just arrived in the city, pointing and gesturing all the way.

Victor sat behind her, one hand casually resting on her waist to protect her, patiently responding to her every exclamation.

"Stop!"

As they passed a bustling commercial street, Nami suddenly signaled Blue to come ashore.

It was an extremely upscale boutique clothing store.

A light blue off-the-shoulder dress hanging in the shop window caught her eye.

The two entered the store.

Nami held up the dress in front of the mirror. The perfectly tailored fabric accentuated her snow-white skin, and her orange hair made her look even more vibrant.

"This young lady has excellent taste. This is our latest style, made with waterproof silk unique to the Water City..." the sales assistant enthusiastically promoted.

Nami glanced at the price tag and her brows furrowed instantly.

"So expensive? Boss, can you make it cheaper? How about a 50% discount? Otherwise I'll..."

Just as Nami was about to unleash her "bargaining skills".

"wrap up."

"Victor said with a smile."

"Huh?" Nami was stunned and turned to look at Viktor:

"Victor! What are you doing? I could have cut it down! It would have saved me at least tens of thousands of Berries!"

Victor reached out and tucked a stray hair behind her ear, smiling as he said:

"Don't skimp on this little bit of money. Don't forget what we're carrying in our bags."

"We'll be making hundreds of millions of peles soon. Consider this a small gift for our future rich wife."

Upon hearing the words "hundreds of millions of Berries" and "rich woman," Nami's eyes instantly turned into hearts.

"That's right! We'll be billionaires soon!"

Nami happily jumped into Viktor's arms, ignoring the shop assistants nearby, and gave him a big kiss on the cheek:

"I love you the most! First Mate!"

The sales assistant blushed as she packed the clothes, thinking to herself how extravagant and sweet this couple was.

But this is only the beginning.

Stepping out of the clothing store, Nami's shopping desire was completely ignited.

She pulled Victor into a lingerie shop with a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.

Most of the customers around were women, and they all gave Viktor, a grown man, strange looks when he came in.

Viktor felt somewhat uncomfortable and was about to wait at the door when Nami forcefully pulled him inside.

"What are you afraid of? We've been together for so long."

After passing through the Sky Island, their relationship had long since broken through the final barrier, and they were truly as intimate as an old married couple.

Nami stood in front of rows of daringly designed lingerie, not at all shy, but instead picking them out with great interest.

"Hey, Victor."

Nami picked up a black nightgown that was almost entirely made of lace and was completely transparent, and looked at Viktor with a seductive gaze:

"What do you think of this one? Or perhaps...?"

She picked up another style: "Do you prefer this wilder one?"

Now it was Viktor's turn to blush.

He coughed, his gaze somewhat unfocused.

"Um... everything's fine."

"You're just being perfunctory!" Nami pouted in dissatisfaction, leaned closer to him, and breathed softly, "You have to choose one. Tonight... I'll wear it for you."

Viktor felt a heat rise to his nose, and to avoid losing his composure, he could only point casually to the black garment:

"Then...the black one, I'll go with that."

"Hmph, as expected, men all like this kind of thing."

Nami gave a mischievous grin, but still obediently let the shop assistant wrap up the black item.

……

After a frenzied shopping spree, the two, now completely refreshed, met up with Luffy in the central square.

Luffy was holding Clay, his mouth stuffed with meat, and carrying that heavy golden bag on his back.

"Oh! Nami! Victor! You guys are so slow!" Luffy mumbled.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Victor straightened his collar: "Go to the exchange. Remember, Luffy, don't say anything out of line later, leave everything to me."

"oh!"

The three arrived at the largest gold exchange in Water City.

This place is magnificent and heavily guarded; it's clearly a venue for large-scale transactions.

A sharp-eyed appraiser received them.

Looking at the three ridiculously young pirates in front of him, a flash of greed crossed the appraiser's eyes.

He slowly examined the gold artifacts, sometimes frowning, sometimes shaking his head.

"Oh dear... although this gold is very pure, it still has quite a few impurities."

The appraiser put down the magnifying glass and sighed, feigning difficulty:

"Besides, these designs are too old; melting them down and recasting them would require very high labor costs. And the price of gold is currently depressed..."

He held up one finger and announced a number:

"I'll give you 1 million Berries in total. This is already a very reasonable price considering you're newcomers."

"1 billion?!"

Luffy tilted his head and started counting on his fingers: "How much meat is that?"

"Are you kidding me?!"

Nami instantly bristled, slamming her hands heavily on the counter and roaring:

"Are you taking us for fools?! This gold weighs at least several hundred pounds! Just by weight alone, it's worth far more than this!!"

"Hmph, little girl, this is my territory, and this is the price."

The appraiser sneered smugly, "If you're not going to sell, take this pile of junk and get out of here."

"Don't worry, Nami."

Viktor smiled and stepped forward, shielding Nami behind him.

However, the next second.

"Do!!"

A muffled thud.

A sharp black dagger was thrust into the mahogany cabinet in front of the appraiser like lightning.

The blade pierced deep into the wood, coming within millimeters of the appraiser's finger.

The appraiser was so frightened that he jumped up, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat.

"Boss, doing business is all about integrity."

Viktor maintained his smile, but his eyes held a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

He slowly drew his dagger and gently tapped it on the priceless golden candlestick, producing a crisp sound.

"Look closely. These are not just gold; they are relics from the Shandora civilization 400 years ago."

"Both in terms of purity and archaeological value, it is world-class."

Viktor leaned closer to the appraiser and lowered his voice:

"You dare to mess with pirates? We could kill you right now and tear this shop down, you believe me?"

"I...I understand!!"

The appraiser wiped his sweat, trembling, no longer daring to harbor any ulterior motives.

"Yes... I misjudged them! These are top-quality! Top-quality!!"

"3 million Berries... No! Plus the 2 million Berries for collectible value! That's a total of 5 million Berries!!"

"make a deal."

Viktor instantly sheathed his dagger, the murderous intent on his face vanished without a trace, and he returned to being the gentle first mate.

……

A few minutes later.

Nami hugged the three suitcases full of banknotes tightly, her eyes gleaming with happiness as she looked at the stacks of brand-new Berries inside.

"5...5 million..."

"I'm going to faint... Victor, catch me!"

Nami slumped softly into Viktor's arms, a dreamy smile on her face.

Viktor shook his head helplessly, carrying the other two boxes in one hand and putting his arm around Nami with the other: "Alright, you little money-grubber, let's save the money first before we go to repair the ship."

……

The scene shifts back to the coast of Destroyer Ship Island.

Compared to the bustling city, the Going Merry stood alone here, appearing particularly desolate.

Usopp, who stayed behind, was using a hammer and planks to try to repair the shocking cracks in the ship's hull.

"It's cracked here...and there..."

Usopp stared at the deep crack in the dragon bone, but he couldn't bring himself to strike it with his hammer.

For some reason, looking at this battered ship...

The image of his helplessness when facing Aokiji on Long Chain Island flashed through his mind.

"Everyone has become so strong... Luffy, Zoro, Sanji... even Nami has received special training from Viktor..."

"just me……"

A deep sense of inferiority surged into his heart like a tidal wave, overwhelming him.

Rasu sensed its master's sorrow and whimpered as it nudged his legs.

"Merry...are you tired too? Do you also feel like you can't keep up with everyone?"

Usopp stroked the hull of the ship, muttering to himself.

Just then.

In the shadows of the ruins not far away, several pairs of greedy eyes were staring intently at the seemingly unsuspecting pirate ship.

"Is that the Straw Hat Pirates' ship?"

"Hehehe...that long-nosed guy looks weak. Brothers, get ready to attack."

The Franky family thugs were sharpening their knives, ready to strike at Usopp who was alone.

……

Meanwhile, on the streets of Water City.

Viktor, carrying a box of money, was walking towards the shipyard with Luffy and Nami, chatting and laughing.

Sudden.

Viktor abruptly stopped in his tracks.

"Um?"

Viktor turned around abruptly, his gaze sweeping across the bustling crowd behind him like lightning.

However, there were only tourists and locals coming and going.

But through the gaps in the crowd, Viktor still managed to catch a fleeting glimpse of a tall figure—

The man was wearing a strange blue costume, and appeared to be wearing a bull's head mask with two horns.

The figure vanished incredibly quickly, as if it had never existed.

"What's wrong, Viktor?" Nami asked, puzzled.

Viktor stared in that direction for two seconds, then turned his head away nonchalantly, but a hint of seriousness flashed deep in his eyes.

"It's nothing, I probably just misread it."

An alarm bell rang in Viktor's mind.

"CP9... It seems the operation has already begun."
