One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

The scene cuts directly to Level 4, the scorching hell, the fourth underground level of Impel Down.

All around were huge pools of boiling blood, with endless scarlet bubbles bursting on the viscous liquid surface, emitting a chilling gurgling sound.

The extreme heat relentlessly baked the entire prison floor, causing the air in mid-air to become visibly and severely distorted, making the entire space resemble a massive furnace that was burning wildly.

On the wide stone bridge spanning this endless pool of blood, Luffy collapsed to his knees, his strength failing him.

His thin, scarred body was heaving violently, covered in cold sweat from the unbearable pain.

Even more shocking was that his once powerful hands and legs were now covered in a large area of ​​glaring purplish-black venom.

Those deadly toxins are like living, bloodthirsty insects.

It relentlessly eroded his motor nerves along his skin and pores, ruthlessly stripping him of the last bit of strength he had left.

Facing Magellan, the warden of Impel Down, whose body was covered in deadly poison.

Luffy's close-combat skills, which he had been so proud of in countless life-or-death battles, completely lost their meaning at this moment.

Every punch he landed on Magellan didn't bring down his enemy; instead, it hastened his own demise.

Mr. 2, hiding in a corner far away from the stone bridge, had his face covered in snot and tears of despair.

As a former prisoner who had been held here, he knew Magellan's terror better than anyone else.

That man's very existence is an unsolvable disaster.

That was a destructive force capable of destroying the world's largest underwater prison in an instant.

Watching Luffy fall down again and again, only to grit his teeth and stagger back up each time, Xiao Feng's mental defenses completely collapsed.

He desperately pounded the scorching ground, shouting hoarsely at the stubborn figure in the straw hat ahead:

"Run! Little Straw Hat!"

"Give up and run away! Please!"

"If you keep fighting like this, that terrible venom will really dissolve you completely, leaving not even a single bone behind!!"

However, Director Magellan ignored the distant cries of anguish.

He was like a terrifying demon god crawling out of the deepest hell, his enormous body covered in layers of viscous, boiling purple venom.

Magellan looked down at the panting Straw Hat boy with his cold, emotionless eyes, as if he were looking at a rotting corpse.

He slowly opened his mouth, mercilessly pronouncing the intruder's final death sentence:

"This foolish farce is over."

"So-called Twin Stars of the Worst Generation, your meaningless pirate career ends here."

"Straw Hat Luffy, this is Impel Down, a city known for its absolute justice and impregnable defenses."

"No one can survive my venom."

Before he finished speaking, Magellan gave Luffy no chance to catch his breath, not even for a second.

"Poison Dragon!"

The purple venom on his body surged wildly like boiling magma.

In the blink of an eye, three enormous venomous dragons, formed from highly concentrated deadly poison, roared and sprang forth from the venomous swamp behind him.

These three enormous creatures opened their gaping maws, large enough to devour everything, and emitted a pungent, acrid stench. They simultaneously surrounded Luffy from three directions, roaring as they lunged at the wounded Luffy in the center.

"hateful……"

Luffy clenched his teeth tightly, and blood seeped from his gums.

He desperately tried to squeeze out the last bit of potential from his body, forcibly activating "Second Gear" to dodge this deadly blocking attack.

But fate seemed incredibly cruel at this moment.

The potent neurotoxin lurking within him suddenly and completely erupted at this moment.

Luffy's pupils contracted sharply, and his legs suddenly went weak in a violent paralysis.

He could no longer support his own weight and collapsed heavily onto the scorching hot stone slab.

Time seemed to slow down at that moment.

Luffy could only open his eyes wide with despair, filled with resentment, and watch helplessly as the three enormous poisonous dragons, carrying the shadow of death, fell from mid-air, completely enveloping his small body in their shadow.

From a distance, von Clay let out a scream that was almost desperate.

Just as the dragon's gaping maw was about to close completely, at the critical moment!

"BOOM!!!"

At the end of the corridor, a heavy iron door made of special alloy was opened with a deafening, terrifying roar.

It was blasted into flying metal fragments from the outside using an unreasonable and violent method.

A blur of motion, accompanied by a violent gust of wind, descended from the sky like a meteor forcefully tearing through the endless night.

The person was in mid-air when his hands suddenly bent, transforming into the fierce and incomparable shape of dragon claws.

His strong, powerful arms were instantly enveloped in high-level Armament Haki, as black as night.

Facing the roaring, enormous venomous dragon, this figure showed no fear whatsoever.

He unleashed a powerful palm strike from afar, slamming it down on the jaw of the poisonous dragon closest to Luffy.

"Dragon's Claw!"

"Bang--!!!"

A terrifying shockwave of internal destruction erupted from the center of the jet-black dragon claw.

This domineering and unparalleled force directly penetrated the surface of the venom and exploded violently inside the giant venomous dragon's head!

A deafening explosion was heard.

That venomous dragon head, powerful enough to melt steel, was actually shattered from the inside by this powerful internal force!

The purple, deadly venom sprayed wildly in all directions like a torrential downpour.

However, when this deadly rain of poison fell toward Luffy, it was all deflected by the invisible Haki defensive net emanating from the newcomer.

The poisonous rain turned into pools of hissing, toxic water that fell onto the surrounding stone slabs.

On the battlefield, the acrid smoke and purple poisonous fog gradually dissipated in the fierce wind.

A tall, upright figure slowly came into focus in Luffy's sight.

He was a blond young man wearing windproof goggles, a tall black hat, and tightly gripping a steel water pipe upside down in his hand.

He was like a towering mountain, weathered by time yet still unshakable, shielding himself from all danger and death in this desolate place known as the Scorching Hell.

Having survived the ordeal, Luffy sat dazedly on the scorching ground, his chest still heaving violently.

He struggled to lift his face, which was covered in dust and sweat, and stared intently at the figure in front of him.

At that moment, Luffy's mind went into a long but brief blank.

The sounds of boiling blood pools and Magellan's furious roars all seemed to be instantly muted.

The silhouette of that figure from behind, that familiar hat...

All of this clearly exists only in the deepest, most precious memories of his childhood, clearly belonging to his older brother who should have died many years ago on that cold sea.

Under Luffy's incredulous gaze.

The blond young man holding the water pipe slowly turned his head.

The moment that face with obvious burn scars came into Luffy's view.

Luffy could clearly see that the young man's eyes were already completely red and filled with glistening tears.

The young man's lips trembled slightly, almost uncontrollably.

But he still did his best, extending his gloved hand to gently lift the top black hat on his head.

Meeting Luffy's dazed gaze, he gave a smile filled with endless tenderness and heartache.

That slightly hoarse voice rang out softly in the scorching air, yet it struck Luffy's soul with tremendous force:

"It's been a long time, Luffy, my little brother."

A hot tear slid down the scar on his face:

"Sorry... I'm late."

boom--

That familiar voice, so deeply ingrained in my soul.

That gentle smile that would never be mistaken, even if it meant crossing the line between life and death.

In that instant, all of Straw Hat Luffy's psychological defenses were completely shattered.

He completely forgot about the warden of Impel Down, the deadly poison, and the fear of death at that moment.

Tears welled up in Luffy's large eyes, which had been gradually losing focus due to the poison, and burst forth like a flood.

Large tears rolled down his face, snot and tears mingling together, covering his young face without any regard for his appearance.

He struggled to stand up, but could only fall forward helplessly.

Even with his throat hoarse and torn, he still tilted his head back and hysterically shouted the name he thought he would never be able to utter again at that figure that seemed to have descended from the heavens:

"Sabo—!!!"
