One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha
Chapter 249 The Bell Tolls in a New Era!
The next morning, a slightly cool sea breeze swept across the waves, finally dispelling the suffocating smell of war that had lingered over the sea.
On the vast, boundless sea, the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates is ready to set sail.
With its massive sails billowing high, the ship's prow seemed to greet the rising sun, ready to set sail and return to their new world.
On the deck, Ace, his muscular upper body bare, carefully tore off half of a Vivre Card that had just been remade the night before.
Then, with an extremely solemn look in his eyes, he placed it into Luffy's hand.
"Don't die, Luffy!"
Ace pressed hard on Luffy's shoulder.
His face, bearing the marks of battle, blossomed into a carefree and exuberant smile, his eyes brimming with anticipation for the future.
"Two years from now, come find me in the New World with your reliable companions."
"If we encounter a formidable enemy we can't handle on that high seas, let's loudly proclaim my name, Ace!"
Luffy shouted loudly, somewhat dissatisfied:
"I'm a billion-bounty pirate! One day we'll surpass you! The Whitebeard Pirates!!"
Upon hearing Luffy's "declaration of war," the Whitebeard Pirates crew members couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Hearing their "laughter," Luffy became even more agitated until Victor pressed down on his straw hat, which calmed him down a bit.
Whitebeard, standing high on the bow of the ship, looked down at Luffy, Victor, Rayleigh, and Jinbe, who had already moved to a small coated ship.
This once mighty and powerful man, facing the sea breeze, let out a hearty laugh that shook the entire region:
"Gurararara! Straw Hat Luffy! I'm so excited!"
"You little devils of the new era, go and cause chaos!"
With these weighty words of farewell, the massive Beluga slowly sailed into the misty morning fog.
The brothers then embarked on their own magnificent new journeys.
The scene shifts to Marineford, devastated after the end of the Marineford War.
The once magnificent and solemn Naval Headquarters building is now only half of its original state, and the square is filled with busy scaffolding and engineers clearing the ruins and moving rubble.
The air was filled with the smell of ashes and dirt, and the once invincible majesty was nowhere to be found.
In a makeshift, simple office, the Warring States Marshal seemed to have aged ten years overnight.
His temples were gray, and a blood-soaked bandage was wrapped around his forehead. He was frowning, his gaze heavy as he looked at the post-war report in his hands, a report of devastating casualties that was enough to make one's heart tremble.
Sitting opposite him was Admiral "Akainu" Sakazuki.
At this moment, Akainu's right arm and half of his broad chest were tightly wrapped in heavy medical bandages.
The scorching black flames left him with indelible scars.
This made his face even more somber, like a suppressed volcano about to erupt at any moment.
Sengoku put down the casualty report in his hand and sighed deeply.
He raised his bloodshot eyes to look at Sakazuki, his voice filled with an overwhelming weariness:
"I'm sorry, Sakazuki."
"I've left you with such a mess that's hard to clean up..."
"The future of our navy now rests on your shoulders."
"After some time, I will formally announce my resignation to the World Government and step down from this position."
Akainu gritted his teeth, his cheek muscles bulging.
His eyes burned with an almost overflowing, deep-seated hatred for pirates.
Without uttering a word, he simply nodded heavily, accepting the immense responsibility of rebuilding "absolute justice" amidst the ruins.
At this extremely solemn moment.
A loud "bang"!
The dilapidated wooden door to the office was violently shoved open by a trembling naval lieutenant commander.
The major, his face ashen, scrambled in, forgetting even the most basic military posture and salute in his panic.
"Something terrible has happened!"
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku! Admiral Akainu!"
"Straw hat...Straw Hat Boy is back again!"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo's hand veins bulged, and with a "crack," he suddenly crushed the teacup in his hand, spilling scalding tea and porcelain shards all over the ground.
His dignified face was filled with disbelief.
How dare these bastards, who just humiliated the Navy, swagger back to this place?!
The moment Akainu heard this news, the image of a crimson demon god, hundreds of meters tall and wielding a giant sword, immediately flashed into his mind.
He was suddenly overcome by a piercing, phantom pain in the areas of his body that had been severely burned by Amaterasu's black flames.
This unbearable pain then transformed into an endless rage that overwhelmed reason.
"court death!!"
Akainu roared through gritted teeth, like a maddened beast.
The scene shifts to Crescent Bay Square.
A large warship, clearly stolen from the navy, arrogantly emerged from the seabed, its surface covered in a bubble coating.
With huge waves and the roar of machinery, the warship crashed violently onto the broken shore, crushing the rubble.
The heavy hatch slowly opened, and Rayleigh and Jinbe stepped off the ship with steady steps.
Next up is Luffy with his hands on his straw hat, and behind him is the languid "Crimson Lotus" Victor!
Looking at these terrifying beings who had recently wreaked havoc here.
The naval engineers and ordinary soldiers in charge of the reconstruction in the square were so frightened that their legs trembled and they could not even hold their guns and shovels steady.
They unconsciously swallowed hard, staggering to the sides, and forcefully cleared a wide avenue leading directly to the center of the square for these four treacherous villains amidst the ruins.
They completely ignored the naval forces around them who were on high alert.
Amidst the frantic flashes of camera lights from the reporters hiding in the distance, Luffy walked straight towards the surviving giant "Ox Bell" in the center of the square.
Luffy stopped, took a deep breath, and with a burst of strength, pulled the thick rope hard to strike the pendulum.
"Clang! Clang!"
Sixteen resounding, deep chimes, melodious and penetrating, pierced the sea breeze and echoed endlessly over the battered Marineford.
According to the navy's ancient tradition, the sixteen rings of the bell represent "transcending the old era and announcing the arrival of a new era!"
After striking the bell, Luffy closed his eyes, lowered his head, and mourned silently.
A tribute to that bygone era and to all the souls who perished in this war.
Then, he opened his clear eyes, laughed, and raised his right arm, perfectly and clearly displaying the eye-catching "3D2Y" tattoo on his arm in front of all the reporters and their cameras.
This is a secret code for our partners far away, and also a declaration of a new era.
Just as the bells were ringing out, Sengoku and Akainu finally broke through the ruins of the collapsed headquarters building and reached the edge of the plaza.
"Straw Hat Boy! Guren! You're asking for it!"
Seeing this humiliating scene, Akainu was completely enraged.
Ignoring the fact that his lacerations were instantly torn open, and blood quickly stained the white medical bandages.
His only remaining intact left arm instantly transformed into churning, dark red magma that emitted a pungent sulfurous smell, roaring in with destructive heat, attempting to completely annihilate the reckless ship and everyone on board.
Watching the lava rushing towards them like a mad dog.
Rayleigh's eyes narrowed slightly, his right hand already on the hilt of his sword, ready to draw it and meet the attack.
Just then, Viktor, who was standing to the side, turned his head slightly.
The kaleidoscope pattern in his right eye flashed for a moment, and an eerie red light traced a path in mid-air.
A jet-black "Amaterasu," exuding an aura of death, appeared out of nowhere in Akainu's path as he charged forward.
The black flames swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into an insurmountable wall of black fire.
This domineering eye power, capable of burning everything, actually suppressed the magma's proud extreme high temperature, causing it to erupt with a teeth-grinding "hissing" sound!
"Sakazuki"
"Consider this ever-burning fire my gift to your navy as a congratulatory present for its reconstruction."
Viktor left behind this arrogant and ruthless statement.
Taking advantage of the moment when Akainu was forced back by the black flames, the four of them turned around and nimbly jumped into the warship that had already been coated.
Under the helpless and furious gazes of countless naval personnel, the warship swiftly submerged into the deep sea and sailed away.
