One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

With a deafening roar, the massive, heavy stone gate collapsed, stirring up clouds of dust that had accumulated over the years.

The group crossed the ruins and officially stepped into the abyss of Impel Down—Level 6 (Infinite Hell).

In stark contrast to the cruel punishments on the upper levels, which are filled with pools of scalding blood, freezing snow, or savage venomous insects, there are no fancy tortures here.

What met the eye was only an impenetrable, eternal darkness and a suffocating, absolute silence.

Because those imprisoned here are all legendary pirates who have committed heinous crimes and have even been forcibly erased from the Poneglyphs by the World Government.

Time seemed to stand still here, with only despair spreading silently.

However, the crowd's forced entry was like a boulder thrown into a stagnant pool, instantly shattering the stillness.

Deep within the dark prison cell, countless eyes, gleaming with ferocity, greed, and madness, immediately lit up, staring intently at the uninvited guests.

Immediately afterwards, some emaciated veteran pirates began shaking their chains, emitting eerie and mocking laughter:

"Hehehe... Someone actually managed to barge into this place? What a rare guest."

"Hey, you little brats over there, come over here and keep this old man entertained. I've almost forgotten what the air outside tastes like..."

Hearing the noisy and jarring noises all around him, Viktor, who was walking at the front of the group, frowned slightly.

He stopped and slightly raised his head.

Those jet-black eyes instantly transformed into the crimson Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in the endless darkness.

As the eerie patterns slowly shifted, a chilling, destructive killing intent, almost tangible, swept across the entire spacious sixth-level space in an instant.

Those hardened criminals who were laughing and joking just a moment ago felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave under this terrifying mental pressure that struck their very souls.

The entire Infinite Hell fell into a deathly silence, and the veteran pirates all shut their mouths.

He could no longer utter a sound, for fear of angering this god of death who had appeared out of nowhere.

Luffy and Sabo completely ignored the serious criminals around them.

With bloodshot eyes, the two brothers ran frantically down the corridor toward a specially made cell deep inside.

"Ace!"

"Ace! Where are you? We're here to save you!"

Sabo charged ahead to the cell marked with Ace's number.

He couldn't wait to find the key, and his hands instantly transformed into jet-black, powerful dragon claws.

With a tearing sound, he ripped a large hole in the seemingly indestructible stone prison door with the most violent means.

However, when the door was violently ripped open and the two hopeful individuals rushed in, they froze in place upon seeing the scene inside the cell.

All that came into view were empty stone walls and cold, damp ground.

In the center of the cell, only a few thick, heavy sea stone chains lay scattered about.

Apart from that, there was no one else there.

"How could this happen..."

Luffy's mind went blank for a moment, and the ringing in his ears filled all his hearing.

His knees buckled, and he knelt blankly on the cold stone slab, his wide-open eyes filled with unbearable despair and bewilderment.

Sabo, standing to the side, clenched his teeth so tightly that blood seeped from his gums.

He suddenly swung his right fist and slammed it hard against the solid wall next to him with a loud "bang".

His knuckles instantly bled, but he seemed oblivious to the pain; his scarred face was contorted with regret and agony.

"Damn it! Damn it!!"

"We were so close! We were just a hair's breadth away from catching up!"

Just when the two brothers were on the verge of collapse.

From the heavy shadows of the opposite cell, a dull thud of chains clanging violently suddenly echoed. "Clang..."

Jinbe, the former Shichibukai and "Knight of the Sea," who was pinned to the wall by thick seastone chains, slowly raised his head.

He looked at the two brothers opposite him, who were on the verge of collapse, and let out a long sigh:

"Don't waste your energy, young people."

"You...are too late."

Under the anxious gazes of Luffy and Sabo who suddenly turned around.

Jinbe's blue face was filled with grief, and he continued in a low voice:

"Just now, Brother Ace was taken to the private elevator leading to the sea by Magellan's subordinates and a vice admiral sent by headquarters."

"Judging by the time, they should be arriving at the Marine Headquarters escort ship above Impel Down by now."

Upon hearing these words, Luffy, who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, suddenly raised it.

He stretched out his dusty hand and pressed it firmly against the brim of his straw hat, hiding most of his face in shadow.

But the confusion and despair that had been in his eyes, which were fixed on the ground, were instantly swept away, and a burning fighting spirit even more intense than before was rekindled.

"Since he's not here..."

Luffy gritted his teeth, slowly stood up from the ground, and growled, word by word.

"Then let's chase after them! Fight our way all the way to Marine Headquarters! I absolutely have to bring Ace back!"

Sabo, who was standing to the side, also straightened up again.

He took a deep breath and forced back the tears welling in his eyes:

"That's right. Even if we have to chase them all the way to Marine Headquarters."

"Even if we have to chase him to the ends of the earth, we will bring him back!"

In the midst of this chilling atmosphere, a low, hoarse, cold laugh suddenly came from the dark corner of the next cell.

"Kuhahaha... What a touching display of brotherly love."

"What? Want to cause a ruckus on the grand stage on the sea?"

Accompanied by heavy, dragging footsteps, Crocodile, the former Shichibukai, slowly emerged from the shadows into the dim light.

A wild and untamed smile graced his face, which bore the distinctive horizontal scar.

"The passageways outside are now completely covered in a net. How about taking me with you, Straw Hat Boy?"

"I can clear the way for you."

"In exchange, you'll let me out."

"I'm going to take the head of that old man, 'Whitebeard'."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Luffy turned his head sharply.

The image of Princess Vivi's desperate tears and the innocent people ravaged by war flashed through my mind in Alabasta.

Luffy instinctively clenched his fists, shouting a resolute refusal:

"You damn crocodile! Don't even think about it, I will never let you out!"

But just as Luffy was about to continue his tirade, a long, strong hand landed firmly on his shoulder, stopping him.

Viktor calmly walked past Luffy and slowly made his way to Crocodile's steel cell in the silent hell.

He slightly raised his chin, looking down coldly at the powerful figure who had become a prisoner.

"You can come out and be our pathfinder, Crocodile."

Viktor's voice was devoid of any emotion, and his eerie Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotated.

"However, if you dare to make any unnecessary movements along the way..."

Before he finished speaking, an overwhelming sense of psychological pressure, far beyond what ordinary people could imagine, instantly pressed down on Crocodile's shoulders without reservation.

Feeling the true terror of facing the abyss of death, Crocodile's arrogant expression suddenly froze.

He was acutely aware that this young man could bring him to ruin with a single thought.

A bead of cold sweat involuntarily slid down Crocodile's forehead as he stared intently at the unfathomable black-haired youth before him.

He clicked his tongue, but ultimately managed to rationally suppress his arrogance:

"Ah... such a breathtaking rate of growth, Guren... Deal."

Seeing that the two sides had reached an agreement, Lightning, who was standing at the back, immediately stepped forward.

His hands instantly transformed into massive, sharp scissors, and with a crisp snapping sound, he swiftly sliced ​​Old Shah's sturdy cell door into pieces.

Meanwhile, Jinbe on the other side pleaded with Luffy in a deep voice, hoping to release him as well.

His blue face was filled with a resolute determination, as if he were facing death.

"I'm going too! I'm going to save Brother Ace and help Whitebeard!"

"I'm willing to risk my life for this war!"

Victor did not hesitate at all.

He turned around, drew his black sword "Autumn Water" from his waist, and the blade flashed across the cell like a black lightning bolt.

With a crisp "clang," the thick sea stone chains that had bound Jinbe for so long were cleanly and decisively severed by his sword.

Thus, in the deepest, darkest part of this hell, a team capable of shaking the entire world was born.

Crimson Victor, Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff Sabo, Straw Hat Luffy, plus two high-ranking Revolutionary Army officers, Okama King Ivankov and Lightning.

And Crocodile and Jinbe, two powerful former Shichibukai.

This terrifying lineup, which can be described as the "strongest prison break team in history," has officially assembled in Infinite Hell.

Without a moment's hesitation, everyone turned around and charged headlong down the stairs leading to the upper floor.

……

Just as this escape team was preparing to break through to the top.

The scene suddenly shifts to the gates of Impel Down Level 1.

"BOOM!!!"

With a terrifying, earth-shattering explosion, the supposedly indestructible gates of Impel Down were breached.

It was blasted into a pile of rubble and debris from the outside using incredibly violent methods.

Amidst the billowing, acrid smoke, a burly man with a full head of black hair and missing teeth, draped in a black cloak, swaggered through the ruins with a group of equally dangerous and ruthless henchmen.

The man looked up at the prison dome, which was shrouded in dark clouds.

He spread his arms wide and let out his signature arrogant laugh:

"Hahaha! You finally got in!"

"My little ones, snap out of it! Are you ready to welcome our new world?!"

—The Blackbeard Pirates have officially invaded the world's number one underwater prison.
