One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

"Haha! You're so funny."

Seeing Luffy's meaningful smile, Usopp felt a surge of anger and embarrassment.

"Hey! You little brat, don't underestimate me! I'm the proud Captain Usopp!"

With that, he suddenly pulled back the slingshot in his hand, the rubber band stretched taut, and aimed it at Luffy below.

"You saw it just now, right? My slingshot is more accurate than a pistol!"

"If you dare take another step forward, I really won't be polite!"

Usopp's slingshot trembled slightly, as if he was about to shoot it at Luffy.

However, Luffy showed no intention of dodging the dark slingshot muzzle.

He simply raised his hand slowly and pressed it against the straw hat on his head. The shadow cast by the brim of the hat obscured his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression.

But his aura changed in that instant.

"Since you've drawn your gun, you have to risk your life..."

Luffy's voice was deep and calm, yet it carried a chilling undertone.

Usopp was so frightened by Luffy's sudden aura that his face turned pale, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

"What...what are you talking about...what life...?"

Luffy slowly raised his head, and his usually carefree big eyes now gleamed with a terrifying light.

"I mean, this thing isn't a toy meant to scare people."

"snort."

Zoro, standing nearby, instantly understood Luffy's intention.

A sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth. With a gentle push of his thumb, the Wado Ichimonji was drawn an inch from its sheath, gleaming with a chilling light.

"That's right, kid. The guy standing in front of you is a real pirate."

The killing intent emanating from Zoro pressed down on the cliff like a tangible force.

"Now that you've raised your weapons, are you challenging us?"

Victor, hands in his pockets, smiled at Usopp, who was covered in cold sweat.

"Oh my, this is so interesting! Is war about to break out?"

"Uh...ah..."

Usopp was covered in sweat, his hand holding the slingshot began to tremble uncontrollably, and his teeth were chattering.

These three guys... are completely different from the thugs I've seen before!

That was the aura of someone who had truly experienced battle!

It has the true aura of a pirate!

Nami, hiding behind, watched this scene, sighed helplessly, and rubbed her forehead, muttering:

"What are you all doing, one by one?"

at last.

"Clatter".

Usopp couldn't withstand the terrifying pressure emanating from the three of them.

The slingshot fell to the ground, and he collapsed weakly to his knees on the edge of the cliff, his back soaked with cold sweat.

"As expected of a true pirate, their aura is truly extraordinary..."

Seeing Usopp, who was terrified out of his wits, Luffy's tense face could no longer hold back.

"Hehehehe!!"

Luffy instantly lost his composure, clutching his stomach and pointing at Usopp as he burst into laughter.

Zoro also put away his murderous aura and leaned against the rock, laughing heartily.

Viktor looked at this classic scene from the original work and a nostalgic smile appeared on his face.

"Huh?"

Usopp's expression of despair froze as he stared blankly at the three people below who were laughing hysterically.

"W-what?"

"I just learned it and started using it!" Luffy wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes. "Those are the exact words of my most respected pirate—Shanks!"

"Shanks... Shanks?!"

Usopp's eyes widened suddenly. "You mean Shanks? You know that great pirate Shanks?!"

"Of course I know him!"

Luffy proudly puffed out his chest. "Oh, right, seeing your face reminds me, your father is Yasopp, isn't he?"

"ah?!!"

The impact of those words was so great that Usopp slipped and fell off the cliff with a scream.

"Thump!"

Fortunately, it was a beach below. Usopp fell flat on his face, but he ignored the pain and scrambled to Luffy's side.

While Luffy and Usopp were getting to know each other, Nami moved closer to Viktor and nudged him with her elbow.

"Hey, Viktor Shanks. That name sounds familiar. Is he famous?"

Victor glanced at her and said casually:

"It's alright. He's one of the four emperors who stand at the top of the Grand Line, known as 'Red-Haired' Shanks."

"The Four Emperors of the Grand Line?!"

Nami's mouth dropped open in surprise. How could Luffy, who looked so silly, know such an important person?

"So... is Shanks that powerful?"

Viktor stroked his chin and spoke nonsense with a straight face:

"Ah, they're only slightly worse than me."

"..."

Nami's face instantly darkened, veins bulging on her forehead: "What nonsense are you spouting now?!"

She took a deep breath, deciding not to argue with this arrogance, and then stretched out her hand in front of Victor.

"Victor! Give me the cabin key right now! You guys go catch up, I'm going to the ship to get some Berries and do some shopping in town!"

Viktor looked at the fair hand, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Hmm. No."

"Huh?!" Nami was about to explode.

Although he said he wouldn't give it to her, Viktor still casually pulled out a bunch of keys, tossed them in an arc through the air, and tossed them to Nami.

"Remember to take plenty; we need to buy a lot of things." Victor turned around and waved his hand.

Nami took the key, her expression momentarily frozen.

She looked at the heavy key in her hand, then at Victor's back in front of her, and her expression became complicated.

This guy...

He knew perfectly well that I was only staying for the money, yet he still so readily gave me the key to the treasure vault.

Is he really stupid, or...?

"Ah, I understand," Nami muttered softly, gripping the key tightly.

Then, Victor looked at the group of people chatting happily in front of him and clapped his hands:

"Hey, Luffy, stop chatting. It's getting dark, let's go to the village for dinner."

Luffy's ears twitched, and he immediately jumped up with joy:

"Ah! I almost forgot about the meat! I want to eat meat!!"

With that, he took off running towards the village, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Hey! You have no idea how to get here, do you?!"

Usopp was shocked to see this and quickly got up and chased after them, shouting, "Wait for me! Hey! Hey! That's someone else's house!"

"Ah! Luffy, don't run so fast!" Zoro could only shout helplessly as he followed.

……

The scene changes.

Half an hour later, at a small restaurant in Xiluobu Village.

"Smack, smack...Delicious! This meat is so good!"

Luffy was holding a large piece of meat with bone in his hand, his mouth stuffed full, and he was chewing it with gusto, his mouth dripping with oil.

Usopp, sitting beside him, asked excitedly:

"Really?! My dad really was on Shanks' ship!"

"Ah, of course." Luffy swallowed the meat in his mouth. "You look exactly like him, so I guessed it the moment I saw you."

"Really? That's amazing! My dad... he's on such an incredible ship!"

Usopp was so excited that his face turned red, and his eyes shone with pride.

Over the years, he had suffered a lot of scorn from the villagers because his father went to sea to become a pirate.

But now that he knows his father is a truly formidable pirate, a huge weight has finally been lifted from his heart.

"Uh-huh……"

Zoro, standing to the side, gulped down his beer and let out a satisfied sigh.

"Phew! Good wine! Drinking on shore is definitely the best way to go."

Nami sat next to Viktor, happily eating her meal. Although she had something on her mind, she couldn't resist the delicious food in front of her.

After hearing Luffy's words, she looked up, curiously examined Usopp's face, and said hesitantly:

"They look the same? Could it be... that Yasopp's nose is the same length?"

Luffy was reaching for the last piece of meat on Zoro's plate when he heard this and nodded:

"Ah, yes. Yasopp's nose doesn't seem to be that long... but his dad's marksmanship is really good, hehehe."

"Hey! That piece of meat is mine!" Zoro tapped Luffy's hand with his chopsticks.

"Ouch, that hurts."

"If it hurts, just let go! You bastard!"

Nami watched the lively scene and couldn't help but smile with relief.

These guys, though they seem unreliable, are actually quite funny.

"Ugh, so greasy. Hey, Victor, that apple in front of you looks pretty good..."

Nami was just about to ask Viktor to help her get some fruit from in front of him so she could freshen her mouth.

However, she hadn't finished speaking.

"Give."

With lightning speed, Viktor grabbed the bright red apple and shoved it into Nami's open mouth.

"Ugh—!!!"

Nami's eyes widened instantly, her mouth stuffed full of apples, and she could only let out protesting whimpers.

"You're welcome, Miss Navigator. Eating more fruit is good for your skin." Victor smiled and withdrew his hand, concealing his good deed.

"Waaaaah! You bastard Victor!!"
