One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Chapter 21: A Major Boost in Combat Power, A New Beginning

Ten minutes later.

The port of Orange Town.

A medium-sized sailboat flying a comical clown flag is quietly moored at the shore.

Of course, it now belongs to the Straw Hat crew.

Luffy was sitting cross-legged in the VIP seat at the bow of the ship, swinging his legs and laughing heartily.

Zoro, holding the Wado Ichimonji, leaned against the mainmast and closed his eyes to rest.

On the other side of the deck, Victor and Nami were engaged in a serious calculation about the "distribution of wealth".

"It's a total of five million Berries in cash, plus jewelry and gold worth about twenty million."

Viktor held a small notebook in his hand, taking inventory of the treasure in front of him while scribbling notes with his pen.

"Excluding the cost of supplies we need to purchase, ship repair costs, and future food expenses... well, and various other costs."

Viktor closed his notebook, looked up, and gave Nami, who was looking at him expectantly, a bright and dazzling smile.

"Miss Nami, given that you still owe me a huge debt and your current ability to repay is negative."

"These treasures will be temporarily kept in the custody of this first mate. Do you have any objections?"

"I have a problem with this!!" Nami clutched the largest money bag tightly in her arms.

"At least... at least leave me some! This is my reward for my hard work!!"

Nami pointed to the empty dock not far away, her heart aching so much that tears were about to fall.

"And another thing! Why did you leave a bag of money on the shore?! There were a full five million Berries in there!"

Just before boarding the ship, she witnessed Victor casually tossing a whole bag of heavy baileys onto a prominent spot on the dock.

"Objection overruled."

Viktor ruthlessly suppressed the navigator's resistance and casually snatched the money pouch from Nami's arms.

Then, along with the treasure on the ground, they threw it all into the cabin behind them and locked it up.

"That money is reserved for the reconstruction of the town."

Viktor clapped his hands and looked at Nami with a smile.

"Of course, in exchange, the navigator position on this ship is yours."

"Free meals and accommodation, and no salary, how about that? Isn't it a great deal?"

"What a joke!!" Nami was so angry she wanted to bite someone.

Just then, a series of noisy and rapid footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the dock.

"Over there!!"

"Quick, after them! Don't let those pirates get away!"

Everyone turned to look.

Mayor Bodor had bandages wrapped around his head and was holding a chuckle in his hand.

Behind him, a large group of townspeople armed with shovels, pitchforks, and sticks charged menacingly toward the harbor.

"Ah! It's the mayor and his group!"

"Hey—!! Uncle—!! Did you see that? We won!!"

"Win my ass!"

Nami's face turned deathly pale as she looked at the angry townspeople.

"We're doomed! They must think we stole Bucky's treasure and they've come to arrest us!"

She clutched her hair in despair, "I told you I shouldn't have taken so much! Now I'm a wanted criminal!"

"After all, we are indeed robbing people now, so why don't we just throw our first mate back?"

Zoro, leaning against the mast, opened one eye and muttered a casual remark.

"What should we do then? Should we fight?"

Luffy clenched his fist, tilting his head with a hint of embarrassment. "But that's an older man!"

"No need to hit."

Victor walked to the ship's side, looked at the excited townspeople, and a knowing glint flashed in his eyes.

He knew very well that these townspeople hadn't come to arrest them.

They came to express their gratitude.

However, pirates don't need this kind of gratitude.

Moreover, if the Navy knew that the town had been "saved" by pirates, it would be a problem for the ordinary people who still had to live their lives.

"Since they're pirates, they need a way to exit the story."

A playful smile curved Victor's lips. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly to the crowd on the shore:

Listen up, everyone in Orange Town!

"We've wiped out that Buggy Pirates crew!"

"As spoils of war, his treasure and his ship now belong to the Straw Hat Pirates!"

Victor smiled and pointed to the treasure trove behind him.

"If you want to reclaim the treasure, then come all the way to the Grand Line! If you have the guts! Hahahaha!"

After saying that, Victor turned around and snapped his fingers at Luffy and Nami, who were still in a daze.

"Raise the sails! Set sail!"

"Oh!! Off to sea!!"

Luffy looked at Viktor with a smile.

But upon hearing the words "going to sea," he immediately jumped up excitedly, stretched out his arms, and pulled open the huge sail.

call--!

The sails were full of wind, and the ship, propelled by the wind, quickly sailed away from the harbor, leaving a white trail in its wake on the sea.

"etc!!"

When Mayor Budor and the townspeople rushed to the dock, the boat was already dozens of meters away from the shore.

They watched the pirate ship gradually disappear into the distance.

Looking at the straw-hatted boy still waving at the stern, and the black-haired figure standing on the ship's side with his back to them.

Everyone stopped in their tracks.

They found a heavy package on the dock, and when they opened it, it was full of neatly arranged pelies.

"asshole……"

Mayor Budor clenched his fists, but tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

He watched the young figures on the boat, and with all his might, roared at the sea:

"You brats...you brats...you brats!"

"Thank you!!! Pirate boys!!! Have a safe journey!!!"

He was also shouting at the pirate crew in the distance with the fun in his hand.

"Woof woof woof! Woof woof!"

The other townspeople also threw down their weapons, wiping away tears as they waved and cried as they bid farewell.

Take care!

"Thanks!!"

The sound carried by the sea breeze to the ship.

"Hehehe, it sounds like they're saying thank you."

Luffy sat at the bow of the ship, holding his straw hat, and grinned, revealing his gums.

"Ah, what a troublesome bunch." Zoro closed his eyes again, but a faint smile played on his lips.

Nami leaned against the railing, watching Orange Town shrink into the distance, and the waving crowds around her, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

She turned her head and looked at Viktor, who was tidying up the cables as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, Victor," Nami couldn't help but say.

"Huh?" Victor turned around, looking completely innocent.

"You...you're actually a good person, aren't you?" Nami looked him over suspiciously.

Viktor paused in his work of tidying the cables.

Then, he straightened up, wagged his finger at Nami, and put on that smug smile.

"A good person? Miss Nami, that's the biggest misunderstanding you've ever made about me."

"A good person wouldn't remind you that, including the five million you just left for the town, your total debt is now three hundred and five million Berries."

"..."

Nami's expression froze.

Three seconds later, a roar echoed across the deck.

"Victor!! You'd better die!!!"

Ignoring Nami's menacing gestures, Viktor happily found a comfortable spot to lie down.

He closed his eyes, his consciousness sank into his mind, and skillfully opened the system panel.

The battle just now was very fruitful, and now I have a huge sum of 1450 points in my hands. It's time to spend some money.

"What should I change to...?"

Victor's gaze slid across the dazzling array of exchange options.

【Magical Shackles Technique】Rank B Ninjutsu. Exchange Price: 800 points.

[Shadow Clone Technique] Rank B Ninjutsu. Exchange Price: 1000 points.

[Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique] C-rank ninjutsu. Exchange price: 500 points.

[Sharingan Advancement: Double Tomoe] Exchange Price: 2,000 Points

He currently has the Fireball Jutsu for attack, the Illusion Technique for control, and the Stand for defense; what he lacks is more agile movement and sustained combat ability.

Ultimately, his gaze settled on a few options.

[Ding! 600 Ninja Points consumed to exchange for Ninjutsu: Hand-Tossing Technique (Rank C).]

[Ding! Consumed 300 Ninja Points to exchange for the Ninjutsu: Body Flicker Technique (D-rank).]

[Ding! Consumed 300 Ninja Points to exchange for the attribute: Increased Chakra Amount (Chunin).]

[Ding! Consumed 100 Ninja Points to exchange for the attribute: Improved Chakra Control.]

[Ding! 100 Ninja Points consumed to exchange for a weapon: Uchiha Standard Longsword.]

[Ding! Consumed 50 Ninja Points to exchange for 5 Explosive Tags, a number of shuriken and kunai.]

With a series of crisp beeps, warm currents flowed into Viktor's limbs and bones.

In his mind, he came up with exquisite techniques for manipulating shuriken with threads, as well as the Body Flicker Technique for instantly bursting speed using chakra.

In particular, the chakra within his body, which had been somewhat depleted, had now become much more abundant.

"Phew... After working so hard all day, I'm back to square one."

Viktor looked at his points, which had instantly dropped to zero, and sadly shut down the system.

This was accompanied by Nami's continued roaring, Luffy's loud laughter, and Zoro's snoring.

Viktor comfortably adjusted his position and closed his eyes.

And so, the Straw Hat Pirates' first official sailing ship, carrying four crew members with very different personalities, set sail and braved the waves.

Sailing towards that vast ocean...
