One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha
Chapter 22 Chakra Control, Talent and Effort
Around noon on the second day, sunlight pierced through the thick clouds.
The golden light shone brightly on the deck of the "Straw Hat".
"call--"
Victor pushed open the cabin door, stretched lazily, and his joints cracked.
"Ah, the weather is so nice."
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at Luffy, who was sitting in the VIP seat at the bow of the ship, munching on an apple.
"Oh, good morning, Luffy."
"Ah, Viktor, good morning." Luffy waved and greeted him indistinctly, his mouth full of apple.
Nami, who was counting the few remaining supplies in the middle of the deck, heard the conversation between the two guys and her forehead instantly creased with anger.
Her face darkened involuntarily.
"It's already noon! You two idiots who do nothing but sleep!"
"Glug."
Luffy swallowed the apple, core and peel included, in a few gulps and patted his belly.
"Ah, it's already noon? No wonder I'm so hungry."
Nami sighed helplessly, put down the list in her hand, looked at the boundless sea, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
"Going to the Grand Line like this is too dangerous... I've heard it's the most dangerous place known as the 'graveyard of pirates'."
Luffy sat cross-legged and nodded seriously.
"Nami is right, we really need to eat some meat. If we only eat apples every day, we'll lose our strength."
Zoro, who was dozing against the mast, opened his eyes at the opportune moment and interjected:
"Besides meat, we also need wine."
"Who was talking to you about food?!"
Nami was furious. She grabbed a bright red apple from the side and threw it at Viktor without even looking at it.
"call out!"
The apple traced an arc and landed precisely on Victor, who had just finished stretching.
"Smack."
Viktor caught the apple steadily and looked at Nami with a dark expression.
"Hey! Nami, that was said by the green-haired girl! I didn't say anything! Why are you hitting me?"
"Hehehe! I hit you!" Luffy laughed heartily, clutching his stomach.
"Hmph, serves him right." Zoro smirked with schadenfreude.
Nami took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and sighed as she said:
"What are you talking about? Don't joke around. That's the Grand Line..."
Nami unfolded the sea chart in her hand, her expression serious.
"There are countless vicious pirates there. Their pirate ships are larger and their crews are far larger than our small boat with only four people."
"If we just barge in like this, we can't even guarantee our own safety. Luffy, do you understand?"
Seeing Nami's serious expression, Luffy put away his smile and nodded earnestly.
"Okay, I understand!"
Luffy clenched his fist, his eyes resolute:
"We really need to find more companions! Besides a chef, we also need a musician..."
"Pfft—a musician?!"
Zoro couldn't help but burst into laughter again. "Hey, is that something that should be given priority?"
"Are you an idiot?!"
Nami finally broke down, yelling at Luffy, "You don't understand at all! The key is combat strength! It's supplies! It's a stronger ship!"
After yelling at Luffy, Nami turned her head and cast a murderous glare at Victor, who was watching the show from the side.
"Victor!"
"Yes, yes, Miss Navigator."
Viktor took a bite of the apple in his hand and mumbled something indistinctly.
"Where is the nearest island? We have plenty of money in our ship's hold. We can spend the money to build another big ship and buy some more supplies while we're at it."
Upon hearing "spending money" and "supplies," Luffy and Zoro's eyes lit up instantly.
"Oh! Time to eat meat!!" Luffy cheered, raising his hands.
"Don't forget the wine!" Zoro added.
Nami sighed helplessly and took out the sea chart again to examine it carefully.
"Let me see... If we go a little further south, there's a small inhabited island called Rolf Town."
"That place is relatively wealthy; we should be able to get a decent ship there and replenish our supplies."
"Rolf Town...?"
Victor nodded thoughtfully.
If I remember correctly, that should be the village where Usopp lived in the original story.
That is, the home of the Going Merry.
Thinking of this, Viktor stepped forward with a smile.
While Nami was still looking at the sea chart, he secretly stuffed the apple in his hand into Nami's mouth.
"Huh?!" Nami's eyes widened.
"Alright, plan confirmed! Destination: Rolf Town. Full speed ahead to that island! Please, Miss Navigator."
"Waaaaah!!"
Nami, whose mouth was stuffed with an apple, angrily waved her fists and shouted incoherently.
"Pah! Pah! You bastard Victor!!"
"Oh!! Full speed ahead!!"
Luffy completely ignored Nami's protests, excitedly pulling the sails and shouting loudly.
……
After the ship adjusted its course, Victor went to the stern alone.
He looked at the rolling waves at the stern of the boat, his expression slightly serious.
Yesterday, he redeemed the [Chakra Control Mastery] skill, which is the most basic skill in Naruto and an essential step towards becoming a master.
"It's a good time to experiment."
Viktor took a deep breath and slowly gathered chakra in the soles of his feet.
The feeling was amazing, like an invisible mucus film adhering to the soles of my feet.
He gripped the stern rope and carefully extended one foot into the sea.
"Like a dragonfly skimming the water..."
When my feet touched the surface of the sea, I didn't sink immediately as usual, but instead felt a gentle resistance.
It didn't sink!
Viktor was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he boldly loosened the cable, and his other foot landed steadily on the sea surface that rose and fell with the waves.
At this moment, he was as if he were standing on flat ground, rising and falling with the waves, but never sinking an inch.
Victor stood with his hands behind his back, feeling the sea breeze, and muttered to himself with a smile:
"Well, putting the system aside, this is entirely the result of talent and hard work."
In the pirate world where everything is seawater, treading water is definitely a life-saving and practical skill.
In the future, whether it is naval warfare or escape, they will have a huge advantage.
However, just as Viktor was indulging in self-admiration...
Beneath the surface, a rather large sea fish seemed to have developed a keen interest in this "two-legged creature" standing on the water's surface.
It swam over quietly and curiously nudged the sole of Viktor's foot, which was brimming with chakra.
"Um?"
Viktor, who was in a delicate balance, suddenly felt his foot slip.
The flow of chakra was instantly disrupted.
Holy crap!
A beautiful phrase from a traditional Chinese opera rang out.
Viktor lost his balance instantly, as if he had been tripped, and fell headfirst into the sea.
"Thump!"
The icy seawater instantly filled my nasal cavity.
Although Victor is not a Devil Fruit user, as a typical "landlubber" otaku transmigrator, he is not a good swimmer.
"Help, help me! Glug glug..."
He was thrashing about in the water, showing none of the expert demeanor he had displayed earlier.
"Hahaha! Victor fell into the water!"
Luffy, who was lying on the side of the ship, watched this scene, pointed at Viktor's disheveled appearance, and laughed heartlessly.
"Tch, what is that idiot doing?"
Zoro, who was wiping his sword, glanced at it and complained helplessly.
Despite his initial disdain, he quickly took off his coat and jumped into the sea with a "plop."
……
at the same time.
Not far ahead, on a peaceful and tranquil island.
On the streets of Rolf, a long-nosed boy was running wildly, covered in sweat.
He ran, waving his arms and shouting at the top of his lungs at the empty street:
"Pirates are here!!"
"The pirates are here!!"
"Run, everyone! Terrifying pirates are attacking the village!!"
