One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha
Chapter 16 The Secrets of Substitution Technique and the Wrath of the Pirates
Beside the ruins, the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
Nami's eyes dimmed as she looked at Chuchu, who was still angrily roaring at the distance.
She knelt down and gently stroked Ququ's trembling back, her voice low and deep:
"See that... this is what pirates are like."
Nami bit her lip, her eyes flashing with hatred for that group of people.
"A pirate is a bastard who destroys everything others cherish and everything others desperately protect!"
Zoro, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly upon hearing this, but did not refute it.
Luffy put away his usual playful expression and said seriously.
"No, Nami. I, Viktor, Zoro, and I are different from those guys."
"What's the difference?" Nami suddenly looked up. "Aren't you pirates too?!"
Luffy, holding his straw hat, said firmly, "Ah, I already said it's different. I became a pirate just to become the Pirate King and seek the freest adventure."
"well……"
Mayor Budor sighed and gripped his spear tightly.
"The little girl is right. Although I believe you are different, there are indeed many pirates on this sea who like to destroy and plunder..."
As he spoke, the mayor stepped forward to pick up Ququ and take her away, saying, "It's too dangerous, Ququ, come with me to the shelter."
Just then, Victor, who had been staring into the distance, suddenly narrowed his eyes and immediately grabbed the mayor who was about to go over.
"here we go again?!"
In his field of vision, a chilling red light once again shone on the distant highlands.
That was a precursor to a Pakistani missile launch.
This time, it seems the target is directly them!
"Nami! Get out of there!!"
Victor roared.
Nami was startled by the roar and instinctively tried to pick up QuQu and run away.
But this stubborn little dog seemed to know what was about to happen.
It clung tightly to the ground, refusing to leave this place filled with memories no matter what.
"Hurry up, Ququ!!"
"No time to dawdle!"
Viktor's chakra suddenly erupted from his feet, and he transformed into a blur as he rushed to the shop entrance.
He scooped Nami up in his arms and then tossed her behind him without a shred of mercy: "Get out of here."
Nami cried out in surprise as she was thrown and rolled several meters away to safety.
Then, Viktor forcefully picked up Ququ from the ground and turned to leave.
"Woof!! Woof!!"
Ququ let out a mournful cry.
It didn't know where this person was taking it; it only knew that it would rather die than leave this store.
It opened its mouth and bit down hard on Viktor's left arm, instantly staining his sleeve with blood.
"Hiss—! You stupid dog!"
Viktor gasped in pain, his steps slowing involuntarily.
"Victor!! Forget about that dog!" Zoro roared from afar, his eyes bloodshot.
"Victor! Run! Rubber—" Luffy shouted anxiously, about to rush over to save him.
But he was too slow.
Pakistan's missiles are too fast.
It was during that brief pause that death struck.
"Rumble, rumble—"
The enormous red cannonball, with a devastating roar, instantly enveloped the pet shop and Victor standing at the door.
"boom----!!!"
A giant fireball erupted on the earth.
The violent explosion instantly engulfed the small pet shop, along with Victor's figure, and was instantly submerged in a sea of fire and smoke.
A terrifying shockwave swept out, collapsing several houses in the row.
Everyone stared blankly at the raging sea of fire ahead, their eyes wide open and their minds completely blank.
"No……"
Luffy stopped and stared blankly at the ruins, the shadow under his straw hat obscuring his eyes.
Mayor Budor knelt on the ground in anguish, tears streaming down his face: "My child... Ququ..."
"You're kidding me..." Nami covered her mouth, tears welling in her eyes. "Viktor... is dead?"
Even the usually calm Zoro gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his knuckles turning white, his mouth slightly agape, staring blankly at the ruins ahead.
He couldn't believe that the always smiling, cunning first mate had simply vanished.
"Damn Bucky!"
"Hey, why is the atmosphere so heavy? It's like I'm really dead."
A lazy voice suddenly came from the pile of ruins behind the group.
Everyone was startled and turned around abruptly as if they had seen a ghost.
On a broken wall, Victor was sitting, holding the struggling Ququ tightly in his arms.
Although his clothes were scorched in several places, he still had that familiar, smug smile on his face.
At the epicenter of the explosion, a charred log slowly rolled out.
[Ding! Successfully rescued puppy Ququ.]
[Gained 100 Ninja Points.]
Viktor breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the system's notification.
Fortunately, he's a man with the [Substitute Technique].
If he hadn't happened to have bought this life-saving skill from the system store beforehand, he wouldn't have been foolish enough to take the hits with his own body for a silly little dog.
"Hehehe!! That's great, Victor!!"
Luffy froze for a second, then burst into a joyful shout, stretching out his arms and rushing over to hug him.
"cut."
Zoro let out a long sigh, sheathed his sword, and turned his head away.
"I knew you'd be lucky... It's a shame you're still alive, you bastard."
Nami wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at the unharmed boy, and felt a strange sense of relief, followed by a wave of lingering fear.
At this moment, Ququ finally opened her mouth.
It broke free from Victor's arms and ran forward like a madman.
However, all that awaited it was a ruin still emitting black smoke.
The shop that held all its memories with its owner, the "treasure" it had guarded for three months, was completely reduced to ashes.
Ququ stood in front of the ruins, staring blankly.
Then, it lowered its head and dug out a bag of dog food that was half burned from the ashes.
"Woof...Woof..."
It lay on the ruins, emitting mournful whimpers that echoed through the empty streets, a heartbreaking sound.
As everyone watched this scene, their initial joy at surviving the ordeal vanished instantly, replaced by a deathly silence.
"Enough!!"
Mayor Budor suddenly let out a roar.
He suddenly stood up from the ground and wiped the tears from his face.
He grabbed the spear in his hand, his whole body trembling but his eyes resolute.
"I am the mayor of this town! This is my town! The residents here are my family!"
The mayor gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with a resolute flame.
"That damned Bucky the Clown! Even if it costs me my life, I will avenge you on behalf of everyone in town!!"
After saying that, the man, who was over sixty years old, resolutely raised his spear and charged toward the high ground where the Buggy Pirates were located.
"Mayor! Calm down!" Nami exclaimed in alarm, quickly trying to grab him. "Going there will only get you killed!"
"I know!!"
The mayor wept bitterly, but shook off Nami's hand.
"I know there's nothing I can do! I know I'm weak!"
"But I can't just watch my town be destroyed! I have a reason to fight!!"
Nami was stunned as she watched the mayor's unsteady but determined back.
She turned her head and looked helplessly at the three men behind her.
"Aren't you going to do anything about this? Feeding...?"
No one answered her.
Zoro silently tied on his dark green bandana, his eyes turning fierce like a wild beast.
Viktor tore a strip of cloth from his clothes and slowly bandaged his left hand, which had been bitten by a dog, while the tomoe in his eyes spun slowly.
"Luffy".
Zoro crossed his arms and said in a deep voice, "Now that you're out of the cage, it's time for us to settle accounts with that red-nosed guy."
Luffy didn't say anything.
He pulled his hat brim down, obscuring his eyes, so only his tightly pursed lips could be seen.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes terrifyingly calm, yet revealing a fury powerful enough to overturn the entire island.
"Ah, Zoro, Victor."
Luffy clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking.
"Let's go. I'm going to...beat that Bucky to a pulp!!"
