One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Just minutes before, the Golden Sunny was sailing on a bright, open sea.

However, the climate along the Grand Line changes faster than turning the pages of a book.

It was as if we had crossed a strange boundary that was invisible to the naked eye.

The bright sunshine was completely blocked out in an instant.

The surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and a thick, seemingly impenetrable black fog enveloped everything.

The sea breeze stopped, and a suffocating silence descended upon the surroundings.

Only the faint sound of the Sunny breaking through the sea echoed in the mist.

"This is terrible! Everything's in complete chaos!"

On the deck, Nami frowned deeply, her fair fingers slapping the record pointer on her wrist.

The pointer inside the glass ball was spinning wildly like a headless fly, completely losing its ability to indicate direction.

Nami looked up at the thick, dark fog around her, so dense that she couldn't see her own hand in front of her face:

"The air pressure readings are completely abnormal, and the surrounding magnetic field is a complete mess!"

"We've really entered the infamous 'Devil's Triangle'!"

Upon hearing the navigator's announcement, the deck of the Sunny erupted in chaos.

"Waaaaaaah!!!"

Two extremely shrill screams pierced the silence of the thick fog.

Usopp and Chopper had somehow managed to become completely "fully armed."

Around their necks hung a dense array of garlic, onions, and various rough wooden crosses, which seemed to have been found somewhere in the kitchen.

"Evil spirits begone!! Monsters begone!!"

"Ugh... So noisy."

Zoro's upper body was bare, covered in wounds, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

He was holding a massive barbell with an incredibly heavy weight in both hands.

He ignored the wailing and howling of Usopp and Chopper below, and muttered coldly:

"Even if there really are ghosts... just draw your sword and chop them down, what's there to be afraid of?"

And at the bow of the ship.

"Hahaha! Don't panic, guys!"

Franky pushed up his sunglasses.

He strode over to the control panel at the bow of the Lionhead ship and excitedly pulled down a heavy red switch.

"SUPER————!!

"Behold my light that illuminates the darkness!!"

"Buzz—!!!"

With a powerful crackling sound, the super searchlights in the lion's head eyes of the Golden Sunny instantly turned on.

Two beams of intensely white light with extremely strong penetrating power pierced through the thick, impenetrable black fog in front of them, projecting two bright beams of light onto the sea surface.

However, just as everyone's tense nerves began to relax slightly...

"Yohohoho~ Yohohoho~"

A melodious and ethereal baritone voice drifted out from the deepest part of the thick fog without warning.

"Bring Binks's liquor...to your side..."

"Riding the waves, I roam freely... Waves accompany the setting sun..."

The song echoed across the silent sea, as if it came from the depths of hell.

The singing grew closer.

Franky's two blinding beams of searchlight suddenly illuminated a gigantic silhouette in the thick fog ahead.

It was a super ancient sailing ship, several times the size of the Golden Sunny.

However, this ship has long lost its former glory.

Its massive mainmast had been tragically broken in the middle.

The remaining sails were tattered and torn, like pieces of rotten rags swaying in the cold wind.

This enormous ancient ship is like a colossal creature that has been dead for hundreds of years, without even the slightest bit of power from an engine or sails.

Like a ghost, it glided out of the thick fog along the eerie ocean current, and a huge shadow instantly enveloped the Sunny.

"Clatter".

The cigarette Sanji was holding slipped from his mouth and fell onto the grass.

"Hey... are you kidding me? This is really a ghost ship?!"

"And... there's someone singing up there?!"

"Aaaaaah!! Turn the rudder quickly!!"

Nami was terrified.

Without hesitation, she turned around and threw herself into Viktor's arms.

"Victor! Get Franky to change course!"

"Get out of this awful place!! I don't want to get near the ghost ship!!"

"A ghost?! A singing ghost?!"

Luffy stood on the lion's head, and his eyes instantly turned into two bright stars that could blind anyone.

Far from being afraid, he was so excited that he bounced around on the deck like a spring.

"Awesome!!! There really is a ghost ship!!"

"I want to go up! I want to go up and see what that singing ghost looks like!!"

"No!! Absolutely not!!" Usopp, Chopper, and Nami protested in unison.

But Luffy's personality means that once he decides to take an adventure, nothing can stop him.

"I don't care! I'm going to get on the ship and see for myself no matter what!" Luffy started to act like a spoiled child.

Ultimately, for safety's sake, and to prevent the idiot captain from running up alone and being captured by the evil spirit, everyone had no choice but to compromise.

Sanji found several wooden sticks of varying lengths and suggested that fate decide.

Let's see who's so unlucky as to have to go on an adventure with Luffy on that eerie ghost ship.

One minute later.

Nami stared at the wooden stick in her hand, which was noticeably shorter than the others, and felt as if her soul had been drained away.

With a "thump," he knelt down on the deck in despair.

"Why...why me..." Nami was on the verge of tears.

Looking at the navigator, whose eyes were brimming with tears.

Victor immediately stepped forward and, quite naturally, reached out and pulled Nami up from the deck.

"I'll go and take a look too."

"Someone has to keep an eye on our reckless captain, lest he get carried away and do something stupid that can't be contained on this ghost ship."

Actually, besides wanting to protect Nami closely.

Viktor volunteered for the mission for another extremely important personal reason.

The intelligent and cunning female archaeologist stood with her arms crossed, her deep and captivating eyes fixed on him with a half-smile.

His eyes seemed to hold a thousand unspoken words.

In order to briefly escape Robin's "cunning gaze" that seemed to see right through his guilty conscience.

To Victor, this eerie and terrifying ghost ship was now a perfect safe haven.

Nami felt like she had been granted a pardon when she heard that Viktor was willing to accompany her.

She gripped Viktor's strong arm tightly, her fingers interlocking with his sleeve.

"Ah, I love you, Victor."

Luffy laughed and stretched out his rubber arm, grabbing the dilapidated railing of the ghost ship.

Then the arm retracted, carrying Viktor and Nami, who was clinging to Viktor like a koala, and the three of them jumped onto the towering, eerie ancient ship.

"Bang."

The three men's feet landed on the rotten deck of the ship, which was covered with slippery moss and layers of cobwebs.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only thick fog weaving through the dilapidated masts, emitting a mournful sound like the wailing of ghosts.

"Squeak—yah—"

Suddenly, an extremely piercing, teeth-grinding scraping sound of a wooden door rang out in the thick fog.

Not far ahead, a dilapidated wooden door, so rotten it looked like it was about to fall off, slowly opened outwards.

"Eee ...

As the wooden door opened, an extremely tall figure slowly emerged from the darkness and mist behind it.

It was a bizarre figure nearly three meters tall with an extremely disproportionately slender build.

He had an extremely exaggerated, huge afro on his head, resembling a black cloud.

He was wearing a worn-out, dusty, and ripped black tailcoat, and was leaning on a purple cane.

As the man stepped out of the cabin.

A gust of cold wind blew by, slightly dispersing the thick fog in front of him.

At this moment, everyone finally saw the true face of this figure.

That wasn't human at all!

It was a skeleton, its entire body reduced to bare white bones!

"Ah!! A skeleton!!"

However, the terrifying skeleton did not make any attacking move.

His finger, now just bone, held a cup of steaming black tea with remarkable steadiness.

He performed a perfectly proper aristocratic hat-tipping in front of the three people in front of him:

"Nice to meet you all."

The skull's voice was gentle and polite:

"What a beautiful day it is today."

"Ah... even though we can't see the sun's shadow in this sea."

He straightened up and looked at Luffy and the others with his two empty eye sockets:

"I'm so sorry for suddenly appearing here."

"After all... I'm just an old bone that's been dead for who knows how many years."

"Yohohohoho~"

This stark contrast caused Luffy's chin to slam directly onto the deck, while Nami's mind went completely blank.

Brook, who was just standing a few meters away, suddenly took a quick slide.

With a "whoosh," his tall frame instantly teleported in front of Nami.

Brooke bowed with great gentlemanly manners.

He stared intently at Nami, who was frozen in shock, with his empty eye sockets, and asked in an extremely sincere and polite tone:

"This beautiful lady..."

"Excuse me, may I have a look at your underwear?"

The air fell silent for a moment.

Nami's beautiful big eyes widened instantly.

The moment Victor heard those words, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

His long, powerful right leg suddenly lifted up.

He delivered a powerful, high-flying whip kick, slamming it hard into the skeleton's long jawbone.

"Bang!!!"

The poor skeleton hadn't even realized what was happening.

His skull, topped with a huge afro, was dislocated from his cervical spine by Victor's flying kick to his beloved wife.

The skull flew high into the air, spinning three times in a spectacular fashion like a helicopter propeller, before crashing onto the deck in the distance with a thud and rolling all the way to the corner of the wall.

Wow!!!

Seeing this, Luffy's eyes showed no fear, but instead shone even brighter. He pointed at the headless skeleton and shouted excitedly:

"Not just a skeleton! But a talking skeleton that moves even after its head is cut off!! How cool is that!!!"

"Oh dear, how rude of me, my head..."

The headless skeleton groped around on the ground for a couple of moments, then picked up its skull with remarkable ease.

With a crisp "click," Brooke, like assembling building blocks, reattached his skull to his cervical spine.

I turned my neck twice, and it was completely unharmed!

He dusted off his tuxedo and bowed repeatedly in apology.

I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!

"This is just an old-fashioned skull joke that's been around for fifty years! There's absolutely no malice intended!"

"Yohohohoho~"

Look at this skeleton with an extremely bizarre and comical personality.

Luffy's desire to collect all sorts of bizarre creatures as his companions was completely ignited at this moment.

He put his hands on his hips, strode up to Brooke, pointed at Brooke, and shouted:

"Hey! Skeleton!!"

"Be my partner!!!"

Upon hearing this sudden invitation...

Brooke's empty eye sockets seemed to pause for a moment.

Looking into Luffy's sincere eyes, he readily nodded:

"OK."

On the ghost ship.

The sea breeze blew by, curling up a few strands of the afro that had fallen from Brooke's head.

A full three seconds passed.

Nami, who was in a state of extreme shock, finally snapped.

Nami transformed into a monstrous demon with a face full of black lines and fangs, and roared furiously at Luffy and the skeleton who was still leisurely drinking tea:

"They agreed way too fast!!!!!"

"Hey Luffy!! What the hell are you inviting to join your crew?!"

"And you, you bastard! You agreed without even asking! What kind of creature are you?!"
