One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Viktor used the violent collision of Water Release and Fire Release to create a massive area of ​​high-temperature steam and fog.

Under the cover of complete darkness...

None of the Straw Hat crew dared to pause for even a second.

All I could hear was the howling wind and the heavy breathing of my companions.

Just as everyone was about to rush out of the edge of this dark forest.

In the morning light ahead, a tall and strange figure appeared.

That was Brook, the skeleton gentleman who had gone off alone to retrieve the shadow.

At this moment, Brooke stood quietly in the morning light filtering through the tree canopy.

He lowered his head, staring intently at the black shadow that had reappeared at his feet.

Although he was nothing but a skeleton, it seemed as if invisible tears were flowing from his empty eye sockets.

As a victim who has been without a shadow for five years.

He had already clearly sensed it the moment the shadow returned.

Gecko Moria, the Shichibukai who once brought him endless despair, has been utterly defeated.

I heard hurried footsteps coming from the woods.

Brook looked up and saw the Straw Hat crew rushing towards him.

He gripped the purple cane tightly and strode forward to meet them.

Before the people who had run up to him could speak,

This lonely skeleton, who had wandered alone on the sea for fifty years, suddenly bent his knees and knelt down on one knee on the muddy ground with utmost solemnity.

He laid the cane sword disguised as a walking stick flat beside him and bowed his head deeply.

"Everyone... just now, my shadow... has finally returned."

Brooke's shoulders twitched slightly, carrying an indescribable sense of anticipation and pleading:

"If... if your invitation on the ghost ship still counts..."

Please let me join your team!

"Even... even if it's just letting me play the violin for everyone on the deck, that would be enough!"

Zoro, who was running at the very front of the group, did not slow down his pace at all.

He carried the unconscious Luffy and ran past Brook at breakneck speed.

A wild and triumphant smile spread across his face as he shouted:

"Then hurry up and catch up, Bone!"

"We're setting sail!"

Upon hearing this, Brooke's empty eyes widened suddenly.

Then he let out his signature laugh, grabbed his cane, and strode off to catch up with the group.

"Yohohoho! Yes, ma'am!"

With renewed vigor, the group finally broke through the last thin layer of dense fog.

My vision suddenly opened up.

The bright and warm morning sunlight shines down without reservation on the sparkling blue sea, refracting thousands of golden rays.

And within this light.

The Golden Sunshine, moored on the shore, is facing the sea breeze, quietly waiting for its owners to return.

When I saw the Sunny's huge lion's head ramming horn.

An indescribable sense of security and belonging welled up in everyone's hearts.

That was their home.

"We've arrived!! It's the Sunny!!"

Usopp was so excited that tears streamed down his face, and he cheered loudly.

The group followed the lowered drawbridge and leaped onto the familiar deck.

When my feet stepped onto that vibrant green lawn...

The nerves that had been stretched to the point of breaking at any moment were finally able to relax completely at this moment.

"Thump, thump..."

Several muffled thuds were heard in succession, except for a few people who were still barely standing.

Almost everyone collapsed onto the soft turf deck, disregarding their image.

They lay sprawled out, breathing in the salty, fresh sea breeze as if trying to expel all the stale air from their lungs.

Viktor stopped and gently lowered Nami from his arms.

However, as soon as her feet touched the ground, Nami showed no sign of letting go.

The immense joy of surviving the ordeal was intertwined with lingering fear, leaving her emotionally overwhelmed.

She took a sudden step forward and hugged Victor tightly around the waist.

She buried her face in his chest, which reeked of gunpowder and blood, and tears instantly soaked his shirt.

Viktor was slightly taken aback at first, then his eyes softened considerably.

He reached out and gently stroked Nami's long orange hair, soothing her emotions.

Then, he pulled Nami to the main mast, and the two sat down together with their backs against the thick wooden pillar.

On the grass not far away, Usopp was lying in a standard "X" shape.

He stared blankly at the cloudless, azure sky above, exhaled a long breath, and let out a long, drawn-out sigh from the depths of his soul:

"Ah... I survived..."

"We actually survived those unreasonable monsters..."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Just as everyone was immersed in this hard-won tranquility, enjoying the comfort of the breeze and sunshine.

“Gurgle gurgle gurgle——”

A loud rumbling sound, like rolling thunder, abruptly shattered the warm atmosphere.

Luffy, who had been casually tossed into the middle of the grass by Zoro, suddenly sat up straight like a spring.

The captain, who had just awakened from a deep coma, hadn't even fully opened his eyes yet, but he kept rubbing his completely shrunken belly with both hands.

His brows were furrowed, his face contorted in a grimace, and he complained at the top of his lungs:

"That's so strange!"

"Why does my stomach feel so empty!"

"It feels like I haven't eaten for three days!"

"I'm so hungry!! I want to eat meat—!!!"

Hearing this heartless shout.

The people on the deck, who had just been deeply moved, suddenly went berserk.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and Franky instantly transformed into demons covered in sharp "shark teeth".

They roared furiously at his bewildered face, spitting everywhere:

"You lawless, idiotic captain!! What kind of sarcastic remarks are you spouting?!"

"Do you even know how long we were on edge with your blue monster form, which was packed with a hundred shadows?!"

"And that giant demon with the exact same personality as you, you bastard, you made us suffer so much!"

"Of course you're hungry, because you've used up all your energy!!!"

Even the usually gentle Chopper stood up, waving his little hooves angrily in agreement:

"That's right! Luffy, you're being too reckless!"

"We almost lost our lives just now, sob sob sob..."

Faced with a barrage of criticism from his companions.

Luffy was taken aback by the insult.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze swept over his companions, covered in dust and bloodstains, yet whose eyes remained vibrant.

His lips gradually turned up, eventually forming a wide grin that revealed a carefree yet incredibly sincere smile.

He reached out and touched the precious straw hat on his head, smiling insincerely:

"Hehehe...Is that so?"

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

Just as Luffy was apologizing.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the other side of the deck.

There, Brook was quietly watching the noisy group of pirates, a cup of red tea he had somehow found.

Luffy's eyes instantly turned into two sparkling stars.

He excitedly shoved aside the four people in front of him, pointed at Brooke, and shouted:

"Ah! It's a skeleton!! You've finally come!"

Luffy leaned forward expectantly: "You found your shadow, right? So, are you going to join us? Hehehe!"

Looking at this young man who changed his destiny.

Brooke slowly put down her teacup and gracefully removed the worn-out black top hat from her head.

He bowed deeply to Luffy and to everyone on the deck.

"Ah, yes."

"Thanks to all of you who fought so hard, my shadow has finally returned to my side."

Brook straightened up, his empty eye sockets fixed on Luffy, and solemnly declared:

"From now on, I entrust my life to the captain."

"I am willing to be your partner and sail with you to the end of the sea!"

"Yohohoho!"

Upon receiving this affirmative answer, Luffy was so excited that he jumped straight up from the deck and did a somersault in mid-air.

He landed steadily on the gunwale, hands on his hips, one foot on the railing, facing the morning sunlight, and loudly announced:

"Oh!!! Everyone listen up!"

"I hereby announce—to warmly welcome our new partner, musician Brooke, aboard!"

"And to celebrate our great victory on Ghost Island..."

Luffy raised his hands high: "The grandest banquet ever! Now it officially begins!!!"

"Ohhhhhhh!!!"

Usopp and Chopper immediately raised their hands in enthusiastic response.

Upon hearing the word "banquet," Sanji, who had been leaning against the railing on the other side smoking, exhaled a smoke ring with annoyance.

He stepped forward and lightly kicked Luffy's butt with his leather shoe, complaining:

"Hey, stop just talking, you bunch of gluttons."

Although he kept grumbling and complaining about the workload.

But Sanji's usually arrogant lips curled into a gentle smile.

He stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand, flicked it with his finger, and the cigarette butt flew through the air in an arc before falling into the sea.

Then, he turned around and walked briskly toward the Sunshine's spacious and bright kitchen.

"Robin-chan~ Nami-san~"

Sanji's voice instantly became incredibly melodious.

"Please wait a moment, ladies. Our special recovery dessert and freshly squeezed juice will be served shortly."

Then, his tone instantly turned cold:

"As for you stinking men, you can just stay on deck and wait to have some barbecue!"

The crisp sound of a cleaver hitting the cutting board echoed from the kitchen.

The usual hustle and bustle on the Sunny has finally returned in full force.

Victor leaned quietly against the mainmast, enjoying this moment of peace.

He turned his head slightly, listening to the sounds coming from the center of the deck.

Luffy and Usopp, arm in arm, pulled Brook, who had just joined the crew, and danced a ridiculously funny celebratory dance with "yohohoho" laughter.

Chopper excitedly clapped his little hooves and kept the beat.

Zoro, on the other hand, simply closed his one eye and leaned against the ship's side.

Three seconds later, a steady snoring sound was emitted.

The sails of the Golden Sun have been hoisted high.

This warship, carrying the dreams of many, sails against the wind and waves, facing the rising sun.

We gradually drove away from the Devil's Triangle, a region shrouded in mist and gloom.

Victor leaned against the railing, gazing out at the sea.

[Ding! The host has successfully escaped the waters of the "Thriller" ship. The major story event, the Ghost Island battle, has officially ended!]

[Ding! Overall rating: S-rank!]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the campaign completion reward: Ninja Way Points +5000]

Upon hearing about the 5000 points he had gained, Viktor finally managed a very pleased smile.

He had almost emptied his savings to urgently exchange for the Mangekyou Sharingan and Susanoo.

This huge sum of money was a godsend, giving him renewed confidence.

However, the system's reward notifications did not end.

[Ding! The system detected that the host has come into deep contact with the energy operation mode of the "Shadow-Shadow Fruit" during this battle, triggering a special reward.]

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the rare reward: Bloodline Limit - Shadow Activation]

[Shadow Activation: The host can use chakra to give their shadow a true "physical form" and "life force," enabling it to cut through physical targets like a blade, act as a shield for defense, and even briefly infiltrate the shadows of others to bind and strangle them.]

Viktor's eyes widened; this was a huge surprise!
